Chapters: San Francisco Dons Football Head Coaches, Jeff Cravath, Joe Kuharich, Maurice J. "Clipper" Smith, Ed Mckeever, Jimmy Needles. Excerpt: Newell "Jeff" Cravath (February 3, 1903 December 10, 1953) was an American football coach best known as the head coach of the USC Trojans football team from 1942-1950. He compiled a 54-28-8 record while coaching at USC, and is known to have introduced the T formation to the USC program. Jeff was a nick name given to him when he was very young as he was a "fighter" like Jim Jeffries. He was called "little Jeffries". Cravath was born in Breckenridge, Colorado; his mother died in childbirth. Jeff as a baby was brought to be raised by his grandparents Augustus and Kate Cravath of Santa Ana, California, as well as his uncle, major league outfielder Gavvy Cravath, and grandparents in Kansas; his father died when he was six.

Cravath also became a Sigma Chi member at USC. In his senior year, in which he was team captain, USC began its intersectional rivalry with Notre Dame; the team finished 8-2, with both losses (to Stanford and Notre Dame) coming by 13-12 scores.
