Will Coleman (American football)
William Julius Coleman (March 8, 1869 – September 2, 1934) was an American football player and coach, as well as a collegiate rower and track & field athlete. He was the first coach for the Kansas football team, when he served as a player-coach in 1890. He also competed on the KU rowing team, winning the 1 mile 2 man rowing competition along with Charles Orton Lasley in 1892 with a time of 6:04. Will was a track & field athlete while at KU, as well. He ran both the 100 yard dash and the 1 mile, coming in 2nd in the 100 yard dash and 1st in the mile with a time of 5 minutes and 19.5 seconds at the 1892 official KU Field Day.
==Early life and playing career==
Coleman was born in 1869 in Kentucky to Leonidas William Coleman(July 20, 1842–1929) and Fena Coleman. At the age of one his family moved from Kentucky to rural Chase County, Kansas just outside of Strong City where he went on to become an athletic star at Chase County high school in Cottonwood Falls, Kansas. After graduating from Chase County high school he attended the University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kansas where he played football from 1890 through 1894. He was the starting center and lettered all five years he was at KU.
For several years during Coleman's time at Kansas, KU ran what was known as the Flying V formation on offense where the center, Will's position, is the point of the "V" leading the way for the ball carrier and other blockers and takes the brunt of the punishment from defensive players. This formation proved so dangerous and lead to so many severe injuries that it was later banned in both collegiate and pro football.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Introduction: A Brief History of College Football )〕
