He assisted Bemus Pierce, a Carlisle A11- American guard, in coaching the Sher- man Braves who made the much-publi- cized Yuma Indians look like children by the tune of 75-0 on Chemawa Field New Year's Day, 1925. The Yumans, coached by Sam McLean, said to be the biggest Indian ever seen in a Carlisle u n ifo rm , had claimed t h e Indian Championship ofthe Southwest. Later Iamison succeeded Pierce as athletic di- rector. In the 14 years he has been at Sherman his football, basketball, and baseball teams have had their ups and downs with a very complimentary share of ups. Many of his proteges have year after year upheld the Sherman tradition of bringing home the cups and medals from Pacific Coast marathons. p10l4p10illi1 vioi4 P-Un zz fzundred n ine'-

Shermarfs Marathon Victories,1912 - 1934 'N thirty-three years of competition Sherman lnstitute's fo o t b all, basketball, and baseball teams have won a full measure of victories, even against u n iv e r si t i e s and unlimited teams. An equally consistant record has been made by her distance runners. Cups and medals brought home by Marathon teams in the 25 years they have been competing would make a striking collection. Sherman's first Marathon participa- tion brought a surprising victory when Phillip Zeyoma, hitherto just an obscure Hopi Indian school boy, romped away April 12, 1912 from a field of 150 run- ners in the Los Angeles Times Modified Marathon, 12 miles, winning over the then famous Paul Westerland, of San Francisco. Time: l.l2:08. The second victory came the same season, Tune 5, 1912, when Albert Ray, another hither- - I I to unknown runner, took first and Zey- oma second against a similar field in the Pasadena-Los Angeles Marathon, 12 miles, time: 1:l2:50. Ray was killed Won by Sherman? 1926 Crow-Cbunfry in the Argonne in November, 1918, cut- ieam in ihe Low 1fngele.r-City Terrace ting him off f r om competing in the road race.
