They All Think They Could

Lawrence, Kan, Jan. 20.-Manager
Lansdon has announced the names of
number of candidates for the position
of football and baseball director. Per-
haps the best known of the applicants
is Benbrook, right guard on Walter
Camps AIl-American combination for
the last two years. Benbrook has writ
ten to the athletic management asking
for the place. He states that he is
eager to come west to take up athletic
work. Benbrook is a senior this year
in the University Of Michigan and ranks
high as a scholar. There is no doubt
that his case will receive serious con-
sideration from the regents.
Another aspirant for the new faculty
position is Edward L. Greene, at pres
ent post graduate in Yale university
Greene played right halfback four
years on the University OF Pennsyl-
vania, and since his graduation from
that school three years ago, has had
much success as coach in the east. Last
season he was mentor to the North
Carolina Aggies. He lost his first and
only contest while instructing the
farmers; his record reveals the fact,
however, that his team Gained victories
from some of the strongest teams in
the south. Greene is a student first
and football guide second, another
status of circumstances that should
win him favor at the regents hands.
COchems as Faculty Member.
Edward B. Cochems, former coach of
st. Louis university, believes he is able
to fill the bill as POSTMASTER at n
faculty banquet and at the same time
make a bunch Of gridiron husl<ies into
championship caliber. Cochems goes
over his record, which, by the way,
isn't a bad one at all, and tries to show
that the regents will make a real mis-
take if they fail to look into his good
points. He writes good letter and
may be counted as one who will be
considered.
E. c. QuigIey. ex-Jayhawker himself,
and one of the premier athletic in
structors in the Missouri Valley, would
like to return to his alma mater in the
role of coach plus teacher and other
things requisite. Quigley has had re-
markable success at ST. Mary's and
there is no question concerning his
ability as an athletic director, but his
qualifications for the newly created
better half of the coaching job here
are not so we'll known. However, the
ex-K. U. man probably will be afforded
an opportunity of showing that his
pedagogical attainments are fully up to
the required standard.
George Putnam, a graduate Of the
university and at present Rhodes
scholar at Oxford, is another who has
been mentioned as a probable candf-
date. Should he wish the position he
undoubtedly would be considered. He
is almost the ideal type of man for
whom the authorities have expressed
a preference.
The letters of all the applicants are
answered and the writer's instructed by
Manager Lansdon to file statements
with DR.. Strong. Many of them do not
understand that the new place requires
their continued presence at the univer
sity. This may result in the with
drawaI of some of the names. It is ex-
pected that the advanced salary at
tached, however, will more than offset
the former advantage of the short term
of three months coaching.
