STORIES ABOUT COACH SHERWIN
FIELD.
SOME INCIDENTS OF THE DIED.
How The Football Mentor Broke Into the Spot Light—Sherwin Meets Ammons.
With the coming of a new head coach to the Jayhawker camp, several stories concerning his personal powres have come to light and certain features of the eastern method of coaching have furnished incidents worth relating.
Accompanying Coach Sherwin's published word that if his material did not contain a good kicker, he would develop one the story of the first kick the coach made in his football career is interesting and much like a magazine football story. The coach is a punter himself, one that can boot the pig skin for sixty yards and drop it between the goal posts when the fate of the game depends upon his toe. That was the situation when Sherwin flashed into the kicking world three years ago on the Dartmouth team.
Intense rivalry exists between Dartmouth and Harvard, comparable to Kansas and Missouri, or Kansas and Nebraska. The score was six to six with the teams laboring evenly, the game drawing to a close, and interest on a slump. Sherwin, a sophomore then, was playing his first year on the varsity at the tackle berth. The captain of the team who was a senior had been doing the kicking, but during practice, Sherwin had practiced a little. All to the surprise of the stocky sophomore, he was called upon to make the trial at field goal from a point thirty yards from the goal line, and six yards from the side lines. Inside information says that the coach avered he shook in his shoes when he went back to try that kick. It was his first and at one of the most difficult angles possible. The ball split the cross bar and Sherwin has been kicking ever since and intends to teach some Kansas men the secret that won him fame by turning what appeared to be a dull tied score into a victory for Dartmouth.
Captain Ammons won the nick name of "Rock-crusher" and incidentally his place on the all-Missouri Valley eleven last year by his power in smashing the line and breaking tackles with his powerful knees. When Ammons returned to school this week "Billy" Price introduced the captain of the team to the coach. Of course both were glad to know one another, but after prefatory greetings and the hand-shakes had gone around, both Coach Sherwin, who has become the newspaper reporter's night-mare on account of his stoicism and reticence, and Aammons who never was known to talk a great deal from the time he first uttered "dada" till now, stood for ten minutes without saying a word. It is presumed, that the coach felt he ought to break the ice some way so he merely declared that no one was going to make his team on former laurels
Now Ammon's friends are wondering if Ammons will have a chance to make the team this year.
Coach Sherwin has a campaign planned for the Javhawker who aspires to lugging the tan colored oval across the goal line on the Saturday before Thanksgiving day. On the first day of practice the strict discipline that will be in order from now till the final whistle blows on the Missouri game at the end of the 1911 schedule became apparent Wednesday afternoon.
One of the new men who have not had varsity experience grew tired of apparently senseless falling on the ball and made off to ward the club house.
"Come back here," was the order of the Coach. "Where are you going?"
The "tired man" explained that he wished to cease his prae-
tice for the day, and was then advised to ask for permission to leave the field from the coach in such case. "All right" was the willing reply and the novice turned again to seek the shower bath.
He was again called back to give an account for the direction of his steps and then remembered that he had not sought the permission from the conch. He was given one fast lap on the cinder path before "turning in."
INVETIGATES GAS FIELDS.
Prof. Haworth Searching Southeastern Kansas This Summer.
Prof. Erasmus Haworth, head of the department of geology, is conducting an investigation of the gas fields of southeastern Kansas and northern Oklahoma for the Public Utilities Commission of Kansas City, Mo.
The commission fears that the gas supply will soon be exhausted and they are anxious to know the exact situation in order to give due warning in case it might give out. Professor Haworth with eight or ten helpers has been working since about the middle of August. He is now in the midst of the work and can not give out the results of his investigations. His research will last for at least six weeks more. Professor Haworth will make trips to the scene of work whenever necessary.
