Ex-athlete revels in assistant post
The offensive newcomer, selected from players who have never lettered, was halfback Terry Miller, a freshman from Oklahoma State. Jimmy Potter, Iowa state noseguard, received the most votes for defensive newcomer.
'Hawks warm up for 1st opponent
Yesterday's practice for the University of Kansas Jayhaws marked the last general practice of the season. Beginning today, they will take their first opponent, Washington State.
Coach Don Fambrough is especially
happy with the depth of the defensive unit has
shown.
"We've got a good situation," he said. "There are four ends, three tackles and about six people in the secondary who are pretty much equal. Any one of them can play and I don't think it would make any difference.
"They're all first string. I don't even like to think of them as first or second string," he said.
Jerry Waugh, assistant athletic director at the University of Kansas, is excited. It isn't excitement over something new or what excites him is his life and his work.
There were no major changes in the injury situation yesterday. Running back Smith's foot still suffering from bursitis did not practice. Freshman Bill Campfield replaced him.

Waugh was team captain in 1951. That year the team established an overall 16-8 record, but only went 8-4 in the league for second place behind Kansas State.
"It is an exciting life choosing to stay in this profession," he said yesterday. "There are so many things here at KU that are so meaningful to myself and my wife."
Sports Reporter
There may be many meaningful experiences for Waugh at KU because his connections with the school go back to 1947. He went to Kansas to go to school and play basketball.
Freshman Monte Holbs has become the No. 2 place-killer behind Mike Love. Bob Swift has bosse bonseh in his ebw and is now for both the punting and place-kicking jobs.
The next two years were formative years from which a 1952 championship team would be born. That team graduated. In 1950, Wauguil's junior year, the Jayhawks put together a 14-11 overall record and an 8-4 conference record to win the one-way tie for the Big Seven championship.
Waugh, as a freshman, sneaked into the varsity line under a ruling that allowed freshmen to play variety basketball during World War II. In the first two years, which were rebuilding years, the team met with relative success.

established," he said. "My job has always put up a program. There were a lot of headaches."
During Waugh's career at KU basketball games were still being played at Hoch Auditorium, and Waugh remembered the disadvantages.
"In Hoch, the angle of the wall inurned in it as neared the stage and this caused a distortion in shooting," he said. "Also, the floor was very hard—it was placed right on the wall. It was so hard we practiced of the old Robinson Gym because the floor would hurt your legs."
"The baskets at Hoch were tight. By tight I mean they were solidly anchored in the backboard. You had to hit the hole or it would go right out."

Waugh left KU after graduation and began his coaching career in Kansas high school basketball. He spent three years at Emporia and two at Lawrence High. His 1955-56 Lawrence High team won the old Northeast Kansas League championship.
White Sox beat Kansas City, 7-0
Waugh was away from KU only six years before he felt the KU spirit draw him back. He went back to the Jayhawk basketball team and be F.C. "Phon" Allen's assistant coach.
Waugh remembered that year, and better remembered the next two years when Wilt Chamberlain played at KU. But most of all, he job his as assistant coach.
Waugh picked a good year to return. Kansas put together a 24-3 record, won the Big Seven and the NCAA Western (regional) Championship. The Jayhawks game into home bowl for Championship game into home bowl for North Carolina. #43-33, in triple overtime.
"I don't think it's ever to a school, except KU, where the program was
"It was the best job I ever had," he said. "The assistant doesn't have the pressures of the head coach. He wants to succeed and shares the joys of winning—but not the defeats. It is an easy job—lots of fun. If you can look forward to going in work in the
The next two years Waugh spent trying to rebuild a shattered program at San Francisco State. The entire athletic department was in a state of turmoil because of the riots at the school in the late 1960's.
