KU Football Staff Is One Of Best In Midlands
Coach J. V. Sikes prepares his Jayhawkers for their conference opener Saturday with the aid of one of the best coaching staffs in the Midlands. All of his seven assistants were outstanding college players and are well versed on football.
Cliff Kimsey, backfield coach came to Kansas in 1948 along with Coach Sikes. Line Coach A. H "Pop" Werner joined the Jayhawker staff in 1949. Wayne Replogle, end coach, has served on the K.U. staff since 1940, except for two and a half years in the navy. Mike Getto, assistant coach, is in his 14th season as a Kansas coach.
Hubert "Hub" Ulrich, assistant coach, is the newest addition to the staff, having joined Sikes' corps two weeks before the opening of practice this fall. Don Fambrough, freshman coach, is beginning his second season at the head of the Jayhawker yearlings. Dean Nesmith, trainer, is in his 13th year with the Jayhawkers.
Coach Sikes began his coaching career in 1928 after compiling an outstanding collegiate record at Texas A. and M. He earned all-Southwest honors at end in his senior year with the Aggies and won nine letters in football, basketball, and baseball.
The Jayhawker head coach has compiled a coaching mark of 41 victories in 62 games. Before coming to Kansas, Sikes was end coach and baseball coach at Georgia. The Bulldogs played in five bowl games while he was on their staff.
Kinsey was one of Georgia's all-time athletic greats while playing under Sikes at the Southern school. Cliff captained the 1941 Orange bowl champions and earned all-Southeastern conference honors at quarterback that year.
An outstanding blocker, he cleared the way for the Bulldogs' great Frankie Sinkwich. He earned two letters pitching for the Georgia baseball team and was named the school's top senior athlete in 1942. He coached high school teams for two years—winning 14 of 18 games.
Pop Werner is a veteran of coaching, having taught every level of football from high school to professional. He joined the Kansas staff during the season with the Brooklyn pro club of the All-American conference.
In his undergraduate days, Werner was a three-time all-Southern conference guard for the Duke Blue Devils.
Replogle has handled various chores at K.U. Before taking over the end coaching duties a year ago, he served as freshman coach, B team coach, Varsity assistant, and chief scout.
This is his 19th year of coaching. He is still regarded as one of the greatest athletes in College of Em-

poria history. "Rep" won eight letters there in football, basketball, and track.
Mike Getto, who doubles as manager of the Eldridge hotel, has served on the Kansas staff longer than any other of the present coaches. He came to K.U. directly from the University of Pittsburgh campus. At Pitt, he was a two-time all-American tackle, was a member of the 1923 Rose Bowl team, and played for the East in the 1929 East-West Shrine game.
Getto left Kansas in 1940 to serve as line coach for the Brooklyn Dodgers of the National Football league. He took over the head coaching job for Brooklyn for the 1942 season.
