Walthall Brought In as WVU Backfield Coach in 1940s
Gene Corum selected Jimmy Walthall as backfield coach at West Virginia University and praised his Mountaineer ties and recruiting impact. A former student who enjoyed coaching more than academics, Walthall balanced sports like netball and baseball while joking about biology tests and campus life. The piece also notes a surge of entries for a State Junior tennis tourney and the Public Courts event opening Saturday with deadline pressures and lively promotion.
