JOHN BLAIN FLEGE, Asst. Coach. WAYNE F. REPLOGLE, Coach. WAYNE F. REPLOGLE Too much credit cannot be given our coach nor can too much applause be given our good luck in accidentally discovering him. We are indeed proud of Mr. Replogle. He is a fitting ideal for the young athlete as his habits, morals and ideals are beyond reproach and his associations and personality the most desirable. He is unquestionably an all around athlete, well able to demonstrate with great skill any specific movement that makes the game the most scientific. We feel it would be a great discredit to Coach and an injustice to ourselves not to mention his accomplishments in this writing. So we truly boast of hav- ing a coach of the following record: Member All Time Team, by Schaffer, Uni- versity of Michigan. Fullback — Central American Recognition, by Brewer, Special Educated, Kansas City Star. Olympic Tryouts, 2nd discus; 3rd javelin. National Y. M. C. A. Examiner and Life Saver. Champion Swimmer, College of Emporia, 1925. Pole vaulting and discus record, College of Emporia. Iara- mie Athletic Club, 1928-1929. He has a reputation in his football conference equal to that of Red Grange. Both making their records the same year. Mr. Replogle ' s invasion into this territory was upon the suggestion of Knute Rockne, a great friend of his and the best known coach in America, now coaching at Notre Dame, winners of the Big Ten Championship this year. It was Mr. Rockne ' s intention to introduce tactful methods over a great terri- tory to fit youthful athletes for continuance in the great game of football. We feel that this association will mean much to our young athletes and that the wide acquaintance of our coach with coaches of higher institutions will help many of them to attain positions of national reputation.
