'YOU BET'l'ER WIN'!- Al Stadtmiller, president of Ille Dons Club. booster group for University High, gives orders to Bull Trometter, school's new foot- TROMETTER SIGNS Dons Expect 1{~.r1~ ir~~!m~ prep football power unde·· its new coach, Robert (Bull) Trom.-.ttc1, who retiring from the :VIarine Corps to take over Sept. 1. An oflicial an;1.ouncemcnt of Trometter's hiring" was made by Rev. Father John P. Ca dden, principal of the school, at a press conference at Mission \"alley Inn last night, bearing out a story the Evening Tribune print- ed April 23. University High, a rapidly-growing school, will play varsity football for the: first time under Trometter. In fact, it will field frosh, junior \ arsity and varsity elev- ens next fall. In Julv the Dors will go into the Southern P r ep League. ·but within two year s it's expected University High will be m the city's Western League. They also hope to begin a keen rivalry with St. Augustine High. Started With 65 Students in 1957 Starting with 6:5 students in 1957, University High now has an enrollment of 3;i0-mostly from this area- and 198 fre shmen are registered for the new semester in September . F ather.Cadden disclosed. "I'm happy to accept this big challenge," the 43- year-old Trometter said. "I've worked with older men for year s and it 's going to be fun to see how it is to handle raw boys for a change. I'm going to enjoy watching boys develop in four years at the school. "I wanted to stay in San Diego and I certainly was pleased to get this wonderful offer of a job. I only hope I can do a good job and produce a winner for Uni- versity High." Father Cadden thought the school was most fortunate to get a man of Trometter's caliber. "Everyone r egards him so highly," Father Cadden remarked. "There is no doubt in our minds he will wor k well with young men ." Like to Grow With Growing School Trometter also said ''I'd like to grow with a school which is growing so fast." He was to sign his release papers today and he's due out of the service after 25 years on Aug. 1. Capt. Hans Jacobsen, one of Trometter's assistants at Marine Corps R ccruit Depot, is expected to step into Bull's shoes. Maj. Gen. Victor Krulak's official an- nouncement is due U1is week. Hector Macis, who's basketball and track coach at U11iver sity High, will be one of Bull's grid assistants. Another assistant will be selected soon. Don Gilmore, a ssistant to l\Iacis, and Tom Stollenwcrk, who handles tennis, also are on University High's coaching staff. The Dons will play eight games next season. Ra- mona, Army-Navy Academy and San Miguel will be Southern P r ep League opponents. Father Cadden said powerful Aquinas High of San ·Bernardino was being sought :!or a game. '-le's Coached Here Since 1946 Trometter has coached service teams in this area since 1946 after playing for MCRD from 1936 through '40. He was an outstanding halfback and also played centerfield for the Devildogs' baseba)l team. Trometter gained the nickname of Bull because of his bull-like rushes through the enemy lines. Once he scored 30 points agPinst an Army All-Star aggregation. Last season Trometter led MCRD to a 10-0 slate for his only unbeaten campaign, although his squads never lo~t more than two games in a year. Observers e'-1Jressed the opinion Trometter·s pres- ence at University High will help University of San Di• ego reach its goal-the Notre Dame of the West- quicker.

of the man, rather than on superificial traits. To this end, both Cagney and Mont- gomery immersed themselves in a study in depth of Halsey in an effort to dis- cover the elements that made a naval genius tick. Not least important in this ['esearch into character was their in- tensive study of more than 20 hours of taped interviews they obtained with men who had served under Halsey and knl'w him intimately. Interviews Provide Clues in addition to Halsey, some 16 real- life military personages are portrayed in "The Gallant Hours." These include top Navy officers such as Admirals Nimitz, King, Ghormley, Turner, Scott, and Callaghan; Army General Millard Harmon; :Marine Generals Vandergrift and Geiger; Col. Evans Caison of Raid- er fame. Also involved are such colorful heroes of the fight for Guadalcanal as Rev. Frederick P. Gehring, the Navy chap- lain who became famous as the Pad. of Guarlalcanal; Lieut. Thomas Lan- phier, the fighter pilot who shot oown Admiral Yamamoto, commander of the Japanese forces; and Joe Foss, the fly. in<>' ace who in 1!)55 was elected Gover- nor of South Dalfb'tll. His Knowledge Authen ic Last, but hardly least, the film prE'• sents a fascinating portrait of Admiral Yamamoto, Hals<>y's chief adversary in

the South Pacific. The ole is pl/J.yed by James T. Goto, who also served "The Gallant Hours" as technical advisor on scenes dealing with the war from the Japanese angle. It would have been difficult to have found a man better u tetl than Goto to perform this dual function. Not only is he a dead ringer for Yamamoto, but, as it happens, he was an o+ficer on Yamamoto's staff in the period covered by the film, and was responsible for the direction of mor<' than 100 air strikes against Guadalcanal. Goto, who came to the United States to study aero-dynamics after the war, is now an American citizen, is an instructor at Cal Tech, and has a son who is a soldier in the U.S. Army!

years (they came to Hollywood from Broadway less than a year apart), have been talking about forming a film part- nership :!or at least a decade. It wasn't until Montgomery attended FAdm. Wil- fiam F. Halsey's 75th birthday party on a ship at the Brooklyn Navy Yards, however, that something was done about it. Watching the famous fighter come up the gangplank, the idea for "The Gallant Hours" hit Montgomery with the force of tropical gale. As soon as he could get to a telephone, he put in a call to Cagney in Hollywood. "Jimmy, you're going to play 'Bull' Halsey," announced Montgomery. There and then, a new movie was conceived and a new producing company form ' d. to make the movie. Cagney now rates Halsey as far and away the most difficult role he has • had. Cohan, the Gimp and Lon Chaney all possessed marked· and dramatic in- dividual mannerisms w h i c h Helped enormously in 1.he creation of character. Ot}ler than the fact that he was n in- veterate chainsmoker, HalseY, wa ith out any easily disting'ttishing hallmarks. However, according to C 4 g n e y al- though this rendered the actor's ksk more difficult, it made for a charac- terization of greater depth and subtlety. The entire role had to be built up from underneath, based op deep knowledge "Great," said Cagney. Role Coiled for Sfudy
