Wednesday, September 12. 1973 University Daily Kansan Hall of Fame to Honor KU Coach By BRETT MARSHALL Assistant Sports Editor The late A.B. “Bert” Kennedy will be inducted into the Kansas All-Sports Hall of Fame here Saturday during half-time ceremonies. The team will be Kansas-North State football game. Kennedy will be inducted for his achievements as a football coach at Wash- ton State. As a Jahlaghwac coach, Kennedy posted the best winning record of any KU coach. His teams won a total of 83 games, lost nine and tied four during his coaching career from 1904 to 1916. While coaching for the University's teams never suffered a losing season. Kennedy, who was a long-time resident of lawrence, died in 1969 at the age of 83 after a long illness. Before coming to KU, Kennedy coached for one year at Washburn where his team had an undefeated season. During his coaching career for the Jayhawks, his teams never suffered a losing season. Kennedy's son Ted, who is also a dentist in the awance, will accept the award on behalf of his family. Kennedy was born in Douglas County in 1876. He attended Lawrence High School where he was quarterback of the football team. After graduation he enrolled at the University of Kansas and graduated and went on to play during his three years of college the late 1890s. At that time freshmen were eligible to play varsity ball. This was before the NCAA was organized and set down rules that made freshmen ineligible. Kennedy spent his final year of college at the University of Pennsylvania. He transferred there and became captain and quarterback of the football team. During his tenure, he led the Outland trophy is annually given to the outstanding lineeman in college football. After receiving his degree in dentistry at Pennsylvania, Kennedy practiced in the East and played in benefit football games. He participated in the first night football game in history in 1900. The game was played at Madison Square Garden in New York. He received a coaching job at Washburn University and was so successful that he was offered the job. Kennedy said his father had high standards for football. Kennedy's son recalls some of his father's accusations of what school and football were like. "He used to tell me how cheap it was to attend college," the younger Kennedy said. "In those days tuition was free and students could wear school board and a five dollar matriculation fee." "My father had a belief that football was for the enjoyment of the coaches, players and fans and that there should be no professionalism involved," Kennedy said. "During the late '20s and early '30s a trend of semi-professionalism began to materialize in football and Dad was against Its. He was what you might call a sports fan. But it seems he was just not interested. After his successful career as coach of the Jayhawks, Kennedy resigned and went to Haskell Institute where he was head football coach for five years. During his time at Haskell, Kennedy's teams defeated such national powers as Notre Dame and Texas. During this period he had the opportunity to meet football immortals Pop Warner, Knute Rocke, Wiley Woodruff and Almos Alonzo Stagg. The younger Kennedy recalled that his father talked about the great teams of the "Nebraska and Oklahoma were the best teams in the Midwest," Kennedy said, "Dad always talked about how tough they were, alone with the fighting Irish." The highlight of Kennedy's coaching career came in 1968 when his Jayhawks team went through a perfect 9-4 season and played in Superior Valley Conference championship. House Committee Approves Bill Banning Pro Football Blackouts Colinni attempted to extend the time of Collins to 12 hours, two weeks because he said the team was too tired. make it difficult for the teams to sell remaining tickets once it was learned that the game would not be shown on telecast. WASHINGTON—The House of Representatives will probably will act Thursday on legislation to prohibit the National Football League from refusing to telecast home games locally if there is a sellout crowd 22 hours in advance. He also wanted to limit the legislation to one year for experimental purposes to gather information on the effect the legislation would have on attendance. A bill passed by the Senate last Thursday contains the one-year time limit, but Macdonald said during the hearings that there would be no test if it was for 1973 alone because most clubs have already sold all the season tickets they can. The Senate measure, passed 76-6, was sponsored by Sen. John O. Pasteur, D-R.I., and Senator Ted Cruz. Kennedy's son said his father told how good the team was, not only on the field but The committee action took less than 20 minutes. On Monday, the subcommittee met to approve the resolution. Rep. James L. Collins, R-Tex, as he did in the subcommittee Monday, attempted to amend the bill but received only scant support from the Republican side in the voice vote. "The 1908 team was very close," Kennedy said. "Dad said the team was comprised of kids who put the team first and individual honors second. They were gentlemen of the highest degree. I think this aspect of the father, my grandfather happier than going undefended."
