In 1954, Mather took over his first collegiate coaching job at the University of Kansas. He in- herited a team that had won 2 and dropped 8 dur- ing the previous season. The squad had graduated 14 lettermen and had lost 16 more squadmen through scholastic difficulties. Plagued by fre- quent injuries, the Jayhawks dropped their first six games of the ' 54 season. The rest remains to be seen. Mather and his capable six-man staff of Paul Schofer, Lauri Wartiainen, Dave Putts, Wayne Replogle, and Dick Piskoty were faced with the immediate problem of molding a capable line which had been all but destroyed through gradua- tion. by Jim Hafhaway i u V BUD BIXLER, CAPTAIN 30
