He then moved over to Southwestern College and played a year there, This was followed by two more years on the gridiron at Howard Payne, In addition to playing football, Gwinn also competed in baseball and track, Although he was an all-star end at Howard Payne, Henry was more of a national figure in track. At Howard Payne he ran the 100 yard dash in 9.6 seconds, the 220 yard dash in 21.2 seconds, threw the discus 145 feet and the shot put 42 feet, all of these marks being Texas records at the time. In 1910 and 1911 Henry ran for the Irish-American Athletic Club of New York of which Lawson Robertson was coach, Gwinn set a world record for the 125 yard dash at 12.2 seconds. In addition, he equalled the world record of 10.8 seconds for 110 yards and the mark of 7.4 seconds for 75 yards indoors, He was selected on the All-American track team in the 100 yard dash by Robertson and James E, Sullivan, After winning all of his races in 1911, Henry was named for the 1912 American Olympic team without competition, but was unable to run in the Olympics because of illness, In 1911 Henry coached at Oklahoma Baptist University, which was located at Blackwell at that time. It now is at Shawnee. In 1913-14-15 he coached at his alma mater, Howard Payne. The 1916-17 school year found Henry at the Georgia Military School as track coach, He returned to Howard Payne the summer of 1917 and got his degree, Henry first came into the coaching limelight in this section at the College of Emporia. He went to Emporia in the fall of 1918 and immediately began turning out sensational teams. In five years his Emporia teams lost only three games. From Emporia Henry went to the University of Missouri in the fall of 1923. After a mediocre year in which he built the foundations for great teams, Henry got the Tigers rolling in 1924. That year and during the following three, Missouri won 25 games, lost only 6 and tied 3. The Tigers won the conference championship three of those four years. Outside the conference they defeated Northwestern, Chicago, and West Virginia, among others, in addition to tying Tulane and Southern Methodist. Henry's championship teams were in 1924, 1925, and 1927, Nebraska had been the bane of the Tigers! existence before Henry went to Columbia, but Gwinn ended that in a hurry. His first year at M, U. the Tigers tied Nebraska, and three of the next four years they beat the Huskers, The Cornhuskers beat the Notre Dame Team which boasted the "Four Horsemen" and they downed Illinois when "Red" Grange was playing, but those Nebraskans could not beat Henry's Missouri teams. After winning the conference title in 1927, the Tigers tied for second with Oklahoma in 1928 and took undisputed runnerup honors in 1929. The following two seasons, 1930 and 1931, Henry was struck down by illness and could be with his team only part of the time. The Tigers lost as many games in those two years as they had ate in the previous seven years under Henry. In 1931 Missouri won only two games and lost eight. This brought to an end the nine-year Henry regime at Missouri. In the fall of 1933 Gwinn returned to coaching as head mentor of the St. Louis Gunners, an independent professional team. The Gunners were given no consideration at all in pre-season dope on professional teams. However, the team astounded everyone by roaring through a 16~game schedule with only two defeats, They topped off the sur- prises by tying the national professional champions, the Chicago Bears, Other pre- fessional league teams which they defeated included the Chicago Cardinals and the Brooklyn Dodgers. Their only defeats were at the hands of the Green Bay Packers and the Cincinnati Reds, This season was followed by a return to the section in which he spent his youth, the Southwest. Henry went to the University of New Mexico asidirector of athletics and head football coach. This was in the fall of 1934 and his first team at New Mexico won the Border Conference championship. Henry continued coach- ing at New Mexico until the fall of 1937 when he came to the University of Kansas as director of athletics. He became head football coach in 1939, succeeding Ad Lindsey. : Gwinn is married and is the father of two children, a married daughter, Julie, and a son, Gwinn III, who is a freshman in high school. Victor C. (Vic) Hurt Assistant Coach Vic Hurt goes into his fourth season as a member of the K.U. coaching staff this fall, He was born March 13, 1899, at Oakland City, Ind. His family moved to Oklahoma when he was about five years old and then a few yeara later moved to Kansas, Vic attended high school at Neosho Rapids for two years and then went to Americus High School one year, graduating at Americus in 1916, There was no foot ball team at Neosho Rapids, but at Americus he played center and guard on the foot- ball team, as well as competing on the basketball and baseball teams, After graduating from Americus High, Hurt entered College of Emporia. He played three years of football there, the last two, 1918 and 1919, under Gwinn Henry, whom he is now serving on the Jayhawk coaching staff. Both of those years the Henry~ coached teams on which Hurt played were undefeated. Vic played center in football, He also lettered in basketball and track at C. of E., graduating in 1920, Hurt began his coaching career at Coldwater High School in western Kansas, After two years there he coached one year at Topeka High School. Following this brief stay at Topeka, Vic went to Oklahoma Baptist University in 1923 as director of athletics and coach of all sports, He was at 0.B.U,. eleven years and made an enviable record there, His football teams won three championships and there was one five-year stretch where Oklahoma Baptist did not lose a single game at home, In 1935 Hurt went to Southern Methodist University as assistant to Coach Matty Bell, That year the Mustangs had the best football team in the history of the school, They were undefeated during the regular season and played in the Rose Bowl against Stanford, On the basis of his record at S.M.U, and 0.B.U., Vic was hired by Tulsa Univer sity in 1936 as head football coach, During the three years he was at Tulsa, Hurt's teams won the Missouri Valley conference championship every year. His Tulsa teams won better than 75 per cent of their games and lost only four of their first 19 games. In 1937 Tulsa tied Rice, the Southwest Confference champions of that season, Vic is married and is the father of four children, three girls and a boy. Wayne "Bill" Replogle Freshman Coach Wayne Replogle is the most recent addition to the Jayhawk coaching staff, com- ing to the University in the fall of 1940 as freshman coach, He was born April ll, 1904, at Anthony, Kansas. "Rep" attended high school at Coldwater, Kansas, amass—: ing a total of 15 letters in athletics there, He competed in football, basketball, baseball, and track, From Coldwater High Replogle went to College of Emporia, where he played under Gwinn Henry, Wayne was a sensation in football and is listed on the all-time C. of E. football team at fullback. He also starred in track, competing in the pole vault and weight events. He graduated from the Emporia school in 1926, In the fall of 1926 Replogle became coach at the Converse County High School in Douglas, Wyo., and was there two years, He switched the scene of his endeavors to Pikeville, Ky., in the fall of 1929. He had championship football teams during both of his two years there. From Pikeville, Replogle went to Elgin Academy in Elgin, Ill., as head coach and director of athletics, He held those positions from 1931 until 1940. During the nine years at Elgin his teams won a number of championships in all sports, Each summer for a number of years, Wayne has worked as a ranger in Yellowstone Park. He holds a commission as a Kentucky colonel and indulges in oil painting as a hobby. He is a brother of Max Replogle, who starred at halfback for Jayhawk teams during the seasons of 1936—37~38,. "Rep", who is married, will serve as chief scout for the Jayhawkers this year, Dean Nesmith Trainer This fall will mark the fifth year that Dean Nesmith has been fulltime trainer for all athletic teams at the University of Kansas, Dean was born Feb, ll, 1914, at Belleville, Kan. He attended high school at Bellewille and lettered in football and basketball three years each. His high school coach was Arlie Hainline. He came to K, U. in 1932 and lettered as a tackle in football in 1933, '3h, and '35. During his college days Nesmith took training under Dr. F.C. "Phog" Allen to fit himself as an athletic trainer. Upon his graduation he became assistant trainer to Elwyn Dees and in 1938 he was made full-time trainer, Nesmith is very popular with all members of K.U.'s athletic teams, He is married and has one son, 1942 KANSAS FOOTBALL PROSPECTUS A strong line with a questionable backfield is the setup that Coach Gwinn Henry will have to contend with this Fall as he starts his fourth year as head mentor at Kansas, This situation, however, might well produce the strongest K.U. eleven since 1933, Thirteen lettermen from last year's squad have been lost by graduation or entry into the Armed Services. Greatest losses were in the backfield where all- conference Ralph Miller and regulars Don Ettinger and Ray Niblo have departed, leav— ing only Ray Evans to carry the burden. Three other backs who lettered will return but none are sure of winning a starting berth. Linquist might easily fill the fullback spot but his eligibility is doubtful. Altman worked as regular quarterback during Spring practice and showed up exception- ally well. The other letterman, Hayden, will probably see only part-time service as a passing threat, To complete the backfield, Henry must depend upon his capable crop of sopho- mores, Best of the lot is scat~back Gene Roberts who will team with Evans at the half~back posts. Upon Evans will fall the brunt of the team's punting and passing as well as being the Jayhawk's ace runner, The fullback position will fall to either Conley or Palmer, two sophs who showed up well last Fall on the yearling team, Other backs of better than average ability who will break into the line-up frequently are Hoyt Baker, Don Comeaux, Kenny Thompson, and Dick Miller, Henry can well afford to smile when he views six returning lettermen in the line. The tackle position is best fortified with Hodges, and Long back to fill these spots, Added to this group are two-year squadman Hunter and two sophs, Channell and Monroe, who both tally above the 200-lb. mark. At guard Joe Crawford is the lone veteran returning but Long will probably shift to guard this fall, a spot he practiced at during the Spring. Right behind this pair are sophs Herron and Johnson who caused plenty of misery to the varsity last Fall while on the Frosh squad, Squadmen Svoboda looked strong in Spring practice and may surprise with a starting berth. The center slot is also well—filled with two lettermen returning and Henry's ace in the hole, a sophomore named Penney. Githens was regular snapper—back last season but during Spring practice Penney supplanted him by exhibiting a world of drive and ability. He is rated the best of the entire freshman crop. A third center is Sheridan, former all-state high school star, who lettered in 1940 but laid out of school last year, The end spots are doubtful but not much cause for worry. Hardman will return to take over his regular flank position but the other end is still in question, Letterman Dick would fill the bill nicely but an injured knee may not stand up under a full-season grind. Backing up this duo are three sophs, Brill, Zimmerman, and Schnellbacher, all of potential greatness, Another man who may surprise if given a chance is squadman Paul Turner, The Jayhawkers practiced the "T" formation to a considerable extent last Spring and will combine that type of attack with Henry's "spinner wing" offensive this Fall. This should provide a wide-open style of play and make the Jayhawks a constant threat during the season, * Walt Sheridan * Harlan Altman * Joe Crawford * George Dick * Ray Evans * Bob Githens “ Paul Hardman * Warren Hodges *#* Ed Linquist %* Gene Long * Don Ettinger *# Bob Fluker 34% Denzel Gibbens ** Bob Hagen © wee Jay Kern * Dale Lowery * Steve Meade + Monte Merkel 44% Ralph Miller * Ray Niblo %%* Ralph Schaake soe+ Hubert Ulrich %% Marvin Vandaveer Dick Miller Lloyd Svoboda Paul Turner Grant Hunter Hoyt Baker Bill Brill Dick Channell John Conley John Herron - Don Johnson John Monroe Bill Palmer Junius Penney Gene Roberts Otto Sehnellbacher Grier Zimmerman * designates number of varsity letters earned in football 1940 Letterman Returning Center 1941 Lettermen Returning Quarterback Guard End Halfback Center End Tackle Fullback Tackle 1941 Lettermen Lost Fullback Guard Halfback End Guard Center Tackle Guard Quarterback Halfback End End Quarterback 1941 Squadmen Returning Halfback Guard End Tackle Outstanding Sophomores for 1942 Halfback End Tackle Fullback Guard Guard Tackle Halfback Center Quarterback End End Emporia Wellington Kansas City McLouth Kansas City Fredonia Topeka Lawrence Kansas City Pleasanton Armed Service Graduation Graduation Armed Service Graduation Armed Service Graduation Graduation Graduation Armed Service Graduation Graduation Graduation Chanute Lecompton Kansas City Jeanette, Pa.
