Charley Guyon'a ability as an all
round coach is eSplainable from just
two facts. one, an unusual ability
to express himself and, the other, his
sports. AZ Chippewa Indian on

and base bali, engaged IN log rolling.
wrestling and boxing contests and
canoe and running races.

Got Nickname From Town.
Guyon sometimes is known IS
Wahoo and IL is rather interesting 10
note how he acquired the name. In
1905, Guyon Joined the Nebraska
Indians, an Indian nine which toured
the country and stacked up against
professional and semi-professtona-
teams during the entire season-in
the summer in the north and N the
south during the winter When GuyoR
left Haskell to join the team. Guy
Green, manager. thought Guyon did
not sound enough like an Indian
name, so he told Guyon to assume the
name Nahoo, which was the Indian
name Of the town IN which the first
game was played after Guyon became
Il member Of the outfit.
It is interesting to note that Sam
Crawford, great Detroit outtield r
until several: years ago. came. from
that town, Wahoo, Nebr, and that
Crawford carried the name OF Wahoo
Sam Crawford during the entire time
he was in the American League
Guyon went to Carlisle H. the fall
of 1905 and began playing foot ball
there under George Woodruff. Uni

and who actually inaugurated the
spread and shift plays at Carlisle and
also the direct pass from center which
later made Carlisle famous under
Warner. 1t was Warner who later
developed the direct pass TO its great
est efficiency, but It was Woodruff
who introduced the system 20 Car
