Inductee into Wichita Sports Hall of Fame-2005

One of the greatest all-around athletes ever at Kansas University was a graduate of Wichita’s Cathedral High. Pete Bausch won nine letters in football, basketball and track at KU and was a “give-no-quarters” lineman in the NFL, where he played for the Boston Redskins (1934-36), Chicago Bears (1937-40) and Philadelphia Eagles (1941). He was the younger brother of Olympic legend Jim Bausch. Pete was nominated for the Pro Football Hall of Fame by the legendary George Halas. Pete returned home and established the Weyl-Bausch Tire Co.
