He played his first game of football
when he was Is years old; when he was
10 he was coaching his first team; and
now, at the age of "A, he ranks as one
of the best football coaches in the
state.
Quigley is a native of New Brunswick
but his parents now live at Concordia.
In 1899 and 1900 he attended Kansas
university, and in those years was a
member Of the football, baseball, track
and basketball teams. His position in
the football lineup was right half, and
though he weighed only 40 pounds. he
made record at K. U. which has never
been forgotten
One of his achievements was in the
Missouri-Kansas game os 1900. when
with the score of 6 to against Kansas,
! Quigley got away for a long run and
made touchdown, after which he kick
ed his own goal, tying the score and
saving Kansas from defeat.
The best record for the running high
jump and the running high dive at K
w. stll stand to the credit OF 0uIgley.
In 1901 Qugley went to the Missouri
State Normal as coach, and produced a
team which went through the season
without defeat. From 1902 to the pres
ent time he has been employed by St.
Marys college as football coach, physi-
cal director and teacher in the prepara-
tory department Of the school.
During the past three years St. N1arys
has not been defeated It has also turn
ed out championship baseball team
under Quigley's coaching.
Considering the fact that St. Marys
college is a small school. and embraces
many very small boys in its enrolment,
/ Coach Quigley's record has been little
short of marvellous. In speaking Of his
work as coach, Mr.. QuigIey SAYS:

had arrived with his prisoner he turned

remark:

The sergeant was alone, and he made
no move to lock the hobo up. On the

The individual responsible for this was
the secretary Of the treasury, one John

were squandered by him upon this ne
