Ralph Miller Named Coach At Iowa U.
Page 13
Miller will replace Coach Sharm Scheuerman who submitted his resignation to the Big Ten school after six years there. Scheuerman said he planned to enter private business.
Coach Ralph Miller of the University of Wichita and a former KU player, has been named head coach at the University of Iowa.
Coach Miller, a former player at KU, had earlier voiced an interest in a coaching job here. At the time of his expressed interest, KU's head coach's position was filled by Dick Harp, who resigned Thursday. Ted Owens, Harp's assistant here, was named head coach Friday, thus squelching speculation that Miller might come here.
"We are interested in having the best possible basketball team at Iowa and a coach of the highest quality is the first prerequisite."
Evashevski said Miller was the only candidate for the coaching position to be invited to the Iowa campus for interviews and was the only one to which the job had been offered.
While at KU as a player, Miller, a native of Chanute was named to the 1942 all-conference squad. At that time, KU was a member of the Big Six Conference.
"We believe," Evashevski said, "we are placing our basketball future in the hands of an outstanding coach. His teams play an exciting type of basketball which we believe will meet the hearty approval of Iowa fans.
Miller brought the Wheatshockers of Wichita to the peak of their basketball success. When he became coach there, the team was a consistent loser. After his first year there, the team became and stayed consistent winners.
IN NAMING MILLER to the Iowa post, Forest Evashevski, athletic director said:
The past season was Miller's finest year at Wichita. The 'Shockers finished the year with a 23-6 record, snagged a share of the Missouri Valley Conference title and earned a berth in the NCAA tournament.
Spring Football Practice Finally Gets Underway
Of the 73,19 were lettermen. Ten other lettermen who are expected back for the season were occupied with other events.
Spring football practice finally got underway yesterday with 73 men reporting to Coach Jack Mitchell and his staff.
Reserve center Jim Becker, alternate tackle Tommy Thompson and Guard Ron Marsh will not participate in spring practice.
First string guard Harley Catlain.
No. 1 quarterback Steve Renko and reserve tackle Jim Shanks were with Coach Floyd Temple's baseball team; tackle Brian Schweda, halfback Gayle Sayers, second string quarterback Dave Crandall and reserve halfback Floyd Buzzi were working out with the track team.
Becker is still troubled with a calcium deposit in his knee which knocked him out of action last year. Thompson is also out with knee trouble and Marsh is out recovering from plastic surgery which was performed on his face after he was involved in an auto accident last fall.
John Hadl, former KU quarterback and All-American, is assisting Coach Mitchell by working with the quarterbacks this spring.

Freedom from imperfections is the main factor in the value of a gem.

Probably the chief reason for the value of a precious stone is its scarcity. For example, the Aquamarine, one of the alternate March birthstones, belongs to the same family as the emerald. It is equally beautiful and far more free of imperfections. But the rarer emeral is more costly.
ST. LOUIS — (UPI) — Stan (The Man) Musial, retired St. Louis Cardinal outfielder made exactly the same number of hits at home as he did on the road—1,815. Musial, in his 22-plus seasons in the National League ended his career in 1963 with a total of 19 major league records, 29 other National League marks and nine-allstar game standards.

Shakespeare never sold life insurance as far as we know. But we do know that the bard's words could have been written just for our business.
Delaying the start of your life insurance program could be costly. When you think you're ready to purchase insurance, you may not be insurable. And the cost will never be as low as it is today.
