Early life and political career

Schoeppel was born near Claflin, Kansas, to immigrant parents from Bohemia.^[2] He attended public school and the University of Kansas, but left college to join the Naval Air Service during World War I. After returning home, he graduated from the University of Nebraska Law School in 1922 and was admitted to the Kansas bar the next year.^[1]

His early political life began as county attorney in Ness County, Kansas, and was one of the early local officials for Ness City.^[3] Later he was elected mayor of Ness City and also served as chairman of the Kansas Corporation Commission.^[4]

In 1952 Schoeppel supported Senator Robert A. Taft for president over fellow Kansan Dwight D. Eisenhower.^[5]

Schoeppel voted in favor of the Civil Rights Act of 1957,^[6]^[7] but did not vote on the Civil Rights Act of 1960.^[8]

College football

Schoeppel played college football from 1920 to 1922 while attending the University of Nebraska and made "honorable mention" on one of Walter Camp's first All-America football teams.^[9] He served as the head football coach at Fort Hays State University for one season, in 1929, compiling a record of 2–5. Schoeppel filled in as head coach while his predecessor, William D. Weidein, was on sabbatical. Weidein did not return after his one-year sabbatical. After Schoeppel completed his one year as head coach, the school's program was taken over by W. C. "Jack" Riley.^[10]
