Meet KU Player 'Monster Man' Lynch
By Jerry Kern
It is said in some athletic circles success of any team lies as much in the ability for the younger member of the team to produce as for the older more experienced member.
Lynch is in his second season with the Jayhawks. He gained his first varsity experience last Saturday against the California Golden Bears.
The KU football squad seems to have such a man in Bill Lynch, 5'-11", 190 lb. sophomore from Hutchinson.
LYNCH DID ALL the punting for KU in the Cal game with several good boots any varsity
member would envy. He punted eight times averaging 42.8 yards. He was forced to boot three consecutive times at one point in the game because of a pair of Bear penalties.
Lynch also played defense for the Jayhawks as the "monster man." This is a new term the team has given a roving linebacker, he explained.
Lynch has mixed feelings about his performance at Berkeley.
"Due to the fact that I had only one week to work on my punting before the game, and because it was my first game, I felt lucky to do as well as I did. However, I don't think you can be completely satisfied with your
performance at any time. There is always room for improvement," he said.
LYNCH HAS NOT let the nowin, 3-loss record of KU this season dampen his spirits.
"Up to and including the game last week, the offense just wasn't clicking, and the defense needed to get stronger," he said, "but we are snapping out of it. The fans are going to be in for a surprise this Saturday when we play Iowa State. The players have a completely different mental attitude this time."
James Coleman, KU chemistry instructor, will coach the United States Men's Volleyball team that will meet Russia in a two week series of matches across Canada in October.
The series of matches begin in Victoria, Canada, Friday and end in Montreal, Canada, on Tuesday, Oct. 26.

The coaching position is a freshman effort for Coleman who has never coached anything more than a city YMCA team.
Lynch is listed to see action in the Iowa State game and again will do the punting for KU. He hopes to play defense the entire game.
Russia's visit to Canada will be the first time a European volleyball team has played on the North American Continent. In four previous meetings the American's have never won a game.
The KU "monster man" has his sights only on the present as far as football is concerned. The idea of going into professional football depends on too many things to be able to think about it practically, he said.
LYNCH IS ENROLLED in physical education, but says he is still undecided on a definite field. He expressed an interest in both business and coaching.
"It's nearly impossible to think about going into professional football until I am through college, since it will all depend on how I play at KU," Lynch said.
