Five Coaches Hired to Fill Athletic Vacancies
Kansas university's football coaching staff was completed Tuesday when new Coach Charles "Chuck" Mather, announced that Richard Piskotty, Paul Schofer, Lauri Wartianen and Dave Putts would be the assistant coaches on the varsity coaching staff.
All four men have coached in the Massillon, Ohio, school system. Schofer, Putts, and Wartianen were assistant coaches at Massillon high school, while Piskoty was head coach at Longfellow junior high school.
Coach Mather has his assistant handle certain positions instead of naming a backfield or line coach. Putts handled the guards and centers, Wartianen the tackles, and Schofer the quarterbacks and full-backs at Massillon.
Putts has coached at Massillon since 1948. He graduated from Miami (Ohio) university in 1947. He was a guard on the undefeated Miami team which beat Texas Tech 13-12 in the 1948 Sun Bowl game. Putts is 29 years old and a Marine veteran.
Wartianen coached in the Massillon school system for 10 years. He served as a junior high school coach after he had coached the freshman at Denison university for two years. He also has held high school coaching positions at Denison, Ohio, Baltic, Ohio, and Mt. Vernon, Ohio.
Of the four assistants, Schofer has been with Mather for the longest time. He joined Mather when he was coach and athletic director at Hamilton high school.
Wartianen was an outstanding blocking back while playing for Denison in 1928. In addition to being a football assistant, he has been track coach and assistant basketball coach.
He received all-conference recognition while playing guard for Wittenberg college in 1935. After graduation, he became head coach at Minerva, Ohio high school. He later was head coach at Wapakoneta high school. He then joined Mather at Hamilton. Schofer also served as head basketball coach at Massillon.
The youngest member of the staff is Piskotty. The 27-year-old coach is a veteran of World War II and the Korean War. He played college football at Miami university with Putts.
He has been a part-time high school assistant, although his main job was as a junior high school mentor. Piskoty was Mather's choice for the fourth position on the staff. Carl Schroeder, Elwood Kammer and Roger Price, all Massillon aides, had been offered the job and all refused because of salary differences.
All four of the coaches must have the approval of the KU Athletic Board, the Board of Regents, and the school administration. The approval will be only a formality since Mather was given the right to choose the men he wanted as assistants.

Liggett & Myers Tobacco Co. says ...
FOR more than thirty years we have used research day in and day out learning about tobaccos and cigarettes in the public's interest.
Continuously we and our consultants have analyzed, experimented with and smoked all kinds of tobaccos ... especially Southern Bright Burley, Maryland and Turkish cigarette tobaccos.
Our own cigarettes and competitive brands have been submitted to the most exacting scientific scrutiny including thousands of analyses of millions of pounds of tobaccos.
From all these thousands of analyses, and other findings reported in the leading technical journals, our Research Department has found no reason to believe that the isolation and elimination of any element native to cigarette tobaccos today would improve smoking.
For four years we have maintained in the smoker's interest an intensified larger scale diversified research program. A half-million dollar 30-ton machine, the world's most powerful source of high voltage electrons designed solely for our use has tested tens of thousands of cigarettes. This program has already given to us direct and significant information of benefit to the smoking public.
Our consultants include Arthur D. Little Inc.of Cambridge, Massachusetts, "one of the largest and most reputable industrial research organizations in the country" (From Business Week Magazine) and eminent scientists from leading universities.
Today the public can confidently choose from a variety of brands-by far the best cigarettes ever made by the tobacco industry.
