not show up to 'full advantage until this year. He has a fastball if he wants to groove It a.nd can sjip over some 'toolers.' He has pro\'ed his ability to keep his head in a tight spot and has often pul1ed himself out of a bad hole." These words were true of .Morrow ~hen he coached 16 Coast Prep League and Southern California baseball champions. The Morrow-coached Cavers also won the annual Pomona 20-30 tournament seven times. After his graduation 1rom California Ln 1922, Morrow signed a professional baseball contract w! th the old Kansas City Blues of the American Association. But hi5 pro ball career was shortlived. He returned to Berkeley a.t the e- nf the season. "Pro ball was too li.ncertain," Morrow recalls. "I dee not to return to Kansas City and when the opportm11,/ came up to go into teaching, I took it.'' Morrow answered the call for a teaching post at Me- morial Junior High, coming to San Diego In December 1923. At .Memorial, Mike's coaching career was launched under Tex Oliver, who later coached football at the Uni- ,·ersity of Oregon. While at Memorial, the young coach met his wife, Alice, an art teacher. Mrs. Morrow is istill at Memorial as a counselor. Mike and Alice were married in 1925 al St. James-By-the-Sea in La Jolla. forrow's c-hance to enter the high school coaching ranks came in 1926 ,when he succeeded Oliver at San Diego High. There marked the beginning o! one of the most si;.ccessful and colorful prep coaching careers ever compiled.
articles tracing the colorlul coaching career of Dewey l. (Mike) Morrow, who re/ires lrom the Son Diego city schools sys/em in June). ByPAULCOUR Long before Joe Dimaggio ever played a baseball exhibition game in Japan, a young righthander, pitch- ing for the University of California, took the Far East nation by storm by pitching a no-h.it, no-run game. Dewey J. ('Mike) Morrow was the young man. Japa- nese fans and the press dubbed him California's "lanky mound artlst." The year was 1921. In the 39 years which have elapsed since, 'Morrow has earned many more nicknames and many, many more baseball victories. His retirement from the San Diego city !chools sys. tern in June -..,·on't be the end of Mike's career on the baseball diamond. He plans to continue on as head coach of the University or San Diego baseball team. Today at the age of 62, the veteran diamond coach can be seen thro-,. 1 g battin~ practice to his Pioneers at Mike Morrow Field, named In his honor. Morrow has been active in cdaching for 34 Jears, 23 of them.at San Diego High. Born in Fort Benton, Mont.. May 7, 1898. he was named after Admiral Dewey. Mike entered the Univer- sity of California in ~917 aod there marked the begin- ning of his athletic career.
