COACH RALPH sHERwIN QUITS
Losing Football and Baseball Teams
Cause-Chance for Mosse.

Lawrence, Kan, May 25.-Coach
Ralph w. Sherwin has resigned as
coach of football and baseball at the
University of Kansas. The news of
the eastern mentors resignation came
as a surprise in the athletic circles of
the university today. The only reason
given by the coach for his wanting to
leave the university is that he expects
to take Up business in Cleveland, Ohio,
soon.
Sherwin was expected to remain as
coach for the Jayhawkers for two
years. He came to Lawrence after
graduating from Dartmouth college.
He was star football man in the east
and was a pitcher on the Dartmouth
baseball team. His luck with the Jay
hawkers was bad. however, and the
team did not have a successful football
season. and the baseball team has lost
the Missouri valley championship to
Missouri.
The resignation of Coach Sherwin
no doubt means that Arthur st. Leger
Mosse. who was hired recently as as
sistant coach, will be at the head of
the university athletics. It is rumored
that Tod Woodbury., who has been
a star in university athletics for the
past three years, will be made an as
sistant ir the department of physical
education.
