The Spectator, by Abe Chanin
Valiant Woman Of Sports
ADA SACKETT McHALE was of an age when it was considered most indelicate for a woman to compete in sports.
But for more than a half century she lived within the world of sports. In this man's world she came to be admired and loved for her graciousness, her laughter and the balance she brought to discussions on sports.
She stood alongside her husband, the legendary J. F. (Pop) McKale, through all the years of growth in University of Arizona athletics from the days rock-strewn playing fields to the finest collegiate athletic plant (in the 1930s, but not any longer) in the Southwest.
Pop McKale, who died last June 1 a week before he would have been 80, will be memorialized for his service to the UA when the proposed McKale Student Activity Center becomes a reality. No man did more for University of Arizona athletics than Pop McKale. His admirers, former students and athletes now strewn throughout the world, will attest to that.
It was a life of dedication to the university and through the years there was anger, frustration and disappointment as well as good times and success. There were tears between the days of cheers and setbacks to be overcome.
Through it all Ada Sackett McKale stood beside her husband, accompanying him through a lifetime in athletics. It wasn't always easy to keep anger and anxiety locked outside the front door when Mac came home from the athletic fields. But she steered him through the troubles and the home she made was a haven for him.
A Companion In A Man's World
Ada McKale died last week, as her husband had, in the home they made just two blocks from the university campus.
To that house had come many of the southwest's leading athletic figures and many national sports leaders, too. And Ada McKale always was the gracious hostess. She became a close friend to many cf the nation's great coaches.
There was not a summer that Ada didn't accompany Mac to the College World Series of Baseball. And she missed few baseball games there in Omaha. She watched the games with interest, chatting with the coaches and quite often dropping a viewpoint as to the strategy employed.
She was the greatest booster of her husband. I can recall when I was a big younger (sic) in newspapering, I was at the McKale home getting material for a profile sketch. When I was finished and started for the door, Ada came alongside and whispered: "Don't put in your story that Mac chews tobacco. I don't think our church people would like that."
Ada had a sharp sense of humor that matched her husband's and there was a time or two she used it to spur him. One day she was waiting in the car to pick Mac up in front of old Bear Down Gym. Mac was talking with a young student-athlete who had just been married. Mac was giving him advice.
"Put your foot down right away. You run the roost. Don't let your wife tell you what to do."
Whereupon Ada McKale leaned out the window and shouted, "C'mon, McKale, get in this car right now. You have chores to do at home."
They were a great team, Ada and Pop McKale, and their service to the university and community is deeply and permanently etched.
