by accepting the position of head mentor at Purdue in 1922. At that time football was outlawed in Indiana high schools. Consequently, the coaches at Indiana's universities were faced by a crop of green candidates at the outset of every season. This same post at Purdue had been left in discouragement by Andy Smith, Lone Star Dietz, and Butch Scan- Ion. Determinedly building for five years, Jim Phelan in 1927 turned in a record of six victories — one a trouncing of Harvard — and two defeats. 1928 saw five scalps brought into camp along with two defeats and a tie. In 1929 the Boiler­ makers took their first undisputed Big Ten title with a record of eight victories. The University of Washington in 1930 beckoned Jimmie Phelan to his first Pa­ cific Coast coaching assignment. The Huskies in 12 seasons under Phelan compiled a record of 63 wins, 35 defeats, and 9 ties. In 1936 he repeated his trick of 1929 at Purdue and gave Washington a Pacific Coast Conference title. The Huskies went on to the Rose Bowl, only to lose to Pittsburgh, 21-0. At Washing­ ton Phelan's teams beat the mighty Southern California Trojans seven out of eight tries. Then, in the days when "sneak at­ tacks" were foremost in the public's I'eading eye, the University of Washing­ ton in December, 1941, dealt to Jimmie Phelan what the sports writers of the nation acclaimed a "sneak attack."
