EASTERN KENTUCKY UNIVERSITY

A rapidly developing physical plant, a fast-growing student body a nd an expanding academic organization characterize Eastern Kentucky Univer s ity , a coeducational in s titution of higher learni n g located at Richm on d in the heart of the Blue Grass region of Central Kentucky .

With university status effective July 1, 1966, Eastern was reorganized into five colleges and a graduate school. Curricula in the Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology, Arts and Sciences, Business and Educa tion lead to the Ba c helor of Science, Bachelor of Arts or Associate of Arts degree. Central Univer s ity College offers preparatory curricula for the first two years of the student's college career, providing a liberal ba s e for a major in one of the advanced colleges. The master's degree is offered in education, English, hi s tory, guidance and counseling for non-school personnel, business admini s tration , music education and biology. A Joint Doctoral Program in Education, sponsored in cooperation with the Univer s ity of Kentucky , permits students to continue in re s idence at Eastern for one academic year beyond the master's degree.

Founded as Eastern Kentucky State Normal School in 1906 by act of the S ta te Legislature, Eastern was created to educate teachers for the schools of the Commonwealth. The institution annually produce s mor e teachers than any other Kentucky college or university.

The physical plant has undergone building and renovation programs totaling o v er $50 million since 1960. During this period every existing major campus facility h a s been remodeled or completely reconstructed.

But perhaps the most striking growth has been in the student body. Eastern's enrollment-an expected 9,000 this fall-has more than tripled in the last eight years.

A well-rounded sports program, both intercollegiate and intramural, is sponsored and encouraged by the Univer s ity Eastern is represented in intercollegiate competition in b as eball, basketball, cross-country, football, golf, rifle, sw imming, tennis and track.

Eastern is administered by a Board of Regents , of which Dr. Harry M. Sparks, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, is ex-officio chairman. Sixth president of the in s titution is Eastern alumnus Dr. Robert R. Martin.

T h e Ohio Valley Conference

In 1941, foresighted men had visions of an Ohio V a lley Conference. Sports writers speculated about the impending division of the K e ntucky In terco llegiate Athletic Conference . Virtually all agreed it was just a matter of time until the divi si on took place and a n ew athletic conference was formed.

Then the Japane se bombed Pearl Harbo r and Americ a was plunged into World War II .

Sev e n years l ater, after th e hostilitie s had ceased, a pre - war dream became a post-war reality. The "Big Five " of the KI.AC. withdrew to form the Ohio Valley Conference .

Making the move were We s tern Kentucky Stat e Colleg e, Eastern Kentucky State Colleg e , Murray Stat e Coll ege, Morehead State College and the University of Loui sv ill e. Th ey were joined by Evan sv ille Colleg e and, s hortly thereafter, by Tenne ssee Tech and Mar s hall College.

Purpo s e of the O .V.C., as set forth in it s con s titution, is "to regulate, control, and promote all the recognized branches of intercollegiate athletics in in sti tut io n s represented."

Through a gradual process, the Ohio Valley Conference was to become a lea g ue of K ent uck y and T e nne ssee st ate college s . Middle Tennes see Sta te College joined the rolls in 1952, Ea st Tennessee State Univer s ity in 1957 and Au s tin Peay State College in the spring of 1962. They r e plac e d Loui s ville, which b ecame an independent in 1949, and Mar s hall and Evan sv ill e, which departed in 1952.

In 1963 , the l eague took another step forward by appointing Arthur L. Gu e p e, former football coach and athletic director at Virginia and Vanderbilt Univer s itie s, as the OVC' s first full-time commissioner .

The Coaching Staff

HEAD FOOTBALL COACH

ROY KIDD

When Roy Kidd b e cam e Ea s t e rn's sixth football coach in 1964, he had never exp e rienced that bitter sting of competitive athletics - a lo s ing se a son.

He had been an all-state football and basketball athlete at Corbin High School, a first team All-America quarterback for Eastern and had ea r ned s t at e wide fame in high school coaching at Richmond's Madison High School.

In his first sea s on as a head coach on the collegiate level, he knew he would prob a bly have to wait at least three or four years before he could build the Colonel football program into an Ohio Valley Con f erenc e cont e nder . H e inherited a team which had managed a 2-8 record in 1963 and guided it through steady improvement the next two years with 3-5-1 and 4-4-1 records.

Those were the lean years-the ones he likes to forg e t. He discovered the frustrations of losing but kept working until he mold e d a winner. Ev e n then, he took ten non-scholarship candid a tes and made them starters.

His 1966 team established a 7-3-0 record and tied for third in the OVC. Although it was his first winning s e ason at Eastern, Kidd possibly suffered more disappointment than he had in the two previous on e s-the three OVC losses wer e by a total of eight points . It was Eastern ' s best football season sinc e 1954 , and reignit e d Kidd's winning philosophy .

While at Corbin, he led the Redhounds to Cumberland Valley Conference football and basketball championships. four trips to the state basketball tournam e nt and a third-place fini s h in 1950, as well as four region a l runner-up baseball trophies. In football, Corbin wa s 9-1-1 Kidd's s enio r se a s on and was runner-up to Dayton High School in Lexington's Shrine Bowl, which featured two of Kentucky's elite teams.

The lefthanded p a ssin g quarterback continued his athletic achievement s at Eastern . As a senio r . he directed the Colonels to an 8-2-0 season , s eco nd in the OVC, and established a dozen record s . On e of hi s marks-most touchdown pas s es in a s e ason (11), was b r oken last season by his pupil Jim Guice, and another , most touchdown passe s in a s ingle game (3)-still stands .

He earned four varsity letters in both football and baseball , hitting over 300 each year as the Colon e l centerfielder, and was presid e nt of the Varsity "E " Club as a senior .

Looking back on his collegiat e days, h e remembers one football gam e in particular. In 1953 against Louisville, Kidd intercepted thre e passes from th e golden arm of Johnny Unitas (one of the all-time pro greats now with the Baltimore Colts) while throwing th r ee scoring passes of his own in Eas te rn's 20-12 victory .

Upon graduation, Kidd remained at Eastern as a graduate assistant coach under Athletic Director Glenn Presnell in 1954 The 9

Colonel s were undefeated (8-0 - 1), won the OVC Champion s hip , and lo s t to Omah a Uni v ersity 7-6 in th e Tangerine Bowl.

H e bega n hi s h ig h sc hool coa c hing career at Ric h mond's Madiso n C e ntral High S c hool as ba se ball coach and a ss ist ant b as ketball coach.

Th e n ext year, Kidd moved acros s town t o Madi so n High S chool and built one of K e ntucky 's s mallest high s chool s (377) into a reputed football powerhouse.

In six seasons (1956 - 61) hi s teams compiled a 54-10 - 1 record, including a 27 - game winning s tre a k, and a string of 14 unscoredupon games. Madi s on won th e C e n t ral Kentucky Confer e nce titl e thr ee t ime s, the CKC division playoffs twice, two of three appearanc es in the Re c reati o n Bowl , on e Scholarship Bowl and played in the Big Sandy Bowl. In 1961 , the Royal Purpl es w e re ra nked No. 1 in the s tate in The Loui sv ill e Couri er -Journal , The Lexington H e r a ld, Th e A ss ociated Pres s and Th e Un ite d P r ess Int e rnational poll s mo st of th e seaso n before lo s ing to F t. Thoma s l;Iighland s 12-0 in the Kent u ck y Cla ss AA c hampion s hip game. Playing a Cla ss AA schedule with a Cl ass A e nrollment , Kidd se ldom fie ld ed a team with over 30 player s . Yet h e groomed players for several univ ers iti es including Eastern, Kentucky, Ai r Force, Army, Navy, Miami of Florid a . Indiana and num e rous s mall co ll eges. ·H e was the Kentucky High S choo l Athl et ic A ss ociation 's "Coacho f-th e - Y ea r " in 1961. That sa m e year, Kidd e arned t he M.A. degree from Ea ster n.

H e th e n accepted an assi s tant coaching po s ition under Gu y Penny at M ore h ead in 1962 and helped g uid e the Ea g les to a four - way OVC champion s hip tie with E as tern , Middl e T en nessee and Ea s t T e nn essee.

Kidd returned to E a stern a s offe n s iv e backfield coach in 1963 und er P res n e ll and w as named head football coach in 1964, fulfilling a goa l he set a s an eager fre s hman in 1950 .

A stro ng fundam e nta l i s t, K idd - coached teams run a wideopen, pro - se t offens e and a rugged, s tingy defense. And through t h ese t ec hnique s, he is establishing a grid program which is pushin g th e Colonel s toward the front in the OVC and the nation. Hi s '66 s quad was ranked in the top t e n s mall colleges in the nation t hroughout mo s t of the season and was 16th in the final AP poll.

Kidd m a rr ied Susan (preferably Sue) Purce ll of R i chmond. They hav e three ch ildren , Marc (9), Kathy (6) and Keith (4).

Som e thing should be said of hi s golf game, but words can't ju st ifiabl y de sc ribe a man who drive s like Jack Nicklaus , hit s th e iron s like Arnold Palmer, putt s like Billy Casper and swears he shoots in the 90 's.

Assistant Coaches OFFENSIVE LINE COACH

BOB HARVILLE

If versatility measures the value of .a football coach, Bobby Harville mu s t rank high on the quality list.

In his third year as an assistant, Harville is assuming his third coaching ass ignment-the offensive lin e He served as defen sive backfield coach in 1966 (the Colonel s were secon d in the OVC in pass def e n se), and he was offensive backfield coach in 1965.

But that's th e main reason Coach Roy Kidd persuad e d Harvill e to join the Ea ste rn coaching ranks in 1964-he knew from experience that th e Harlan native was a dedicated worker and h a d a keen knowledge of all aspects of football.

Harville and Kidd 's professional associ ation began in 1957 at Richmond's Madison High School as Harville helped Kidd l ea d Madi son to a two-year 14-6-1 record ·a nd wins in both the Schola rs hip and the Recreation Bowl s

In 1963, h e assisted fellow Ea ste rn grad Ray Pelfry at Lancaster, Ohio , to an 8-2 record a nd then accepted th e head coaching position at Madison Hi gh School in 1964.

At the Richmond school, Harville piloted the Royal Purples to virtually the s ame laurels they had earned under Kidd in 1961. Madi s on established a 10-4 record, won the Central Kentucky Conference and lost to Ft. Thomas Highlands in the Class AA championship game.

Harville-coached athletes can be found in numerous collegiate programs including Eastern, Miami of Florida , Miami of Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee

His competitive days were cut short by a high school knee injury-he participated in football and basketball. His interest in athletics did not dwindle , however , an d Harlan High School Coach

Joe Gilly, a legend in eastern Kentucky, named him sports manager. Gilly al so was in str umental in obtaining fin a ncial assistance for him to attend Eastern , where he served as football manager four years under Athletic Director Glenn Presnell . He earned the M A. degree from Eastern in 1965.

ATHLETIC TRAINER DAVID HUFFSTETLER

Sin ce David H uffstetler became Eastern 's first full -time athletic traine r in 1965, the number of Colonels missing games with injuries h a s b ee n reduced to a mi ni mum.

" W e won't pla y the injured boy," sa i d Kidd. " We depend e ntirely on Dave 's ju dgme nt. He ha s don e an exceptional job ke e pin g t h e m r ead y to play. "

The Forecast

KIDD IS OPTIMISTIC-BUT CAUTIOUS

Coa c h Roy Kidd is optimistic as he lo ok s to th e 1967 football season.

After all , he re t urn s 28 of 36 pl ayers from hi s 1966 s quad th a t ti e d for third in the Ohio V a ll ey Conference with a 4-3 recordthe lo sses were by a total of eight point s-and a 7- 3 overall ledger .

Lo s t were All-Am e rica s afety Buddy Pfaadt , linebacker Rick S iv ulich , cornerback Mike Smith, en d Rog er Pr a ll , middleguard Ron D eVingo, ta ilback Herman Carter, and All - OVC tackle Bob T arv in , who de ve l oped a rare blood di sease.

Lo sses lik e these should mak e Kidd pessimistic-but they don ' t. The rea so ns a re obvious.

At quart erbac k , for in sta nc e, he h as "the best pa ss er in Ea s tern hi s tory " in the person of All-OVC c hoice Jim Guice , who had a h an d in 15 school and conference records l ast year. And to back him up i s a virtual unknown, Tim Sp ea ks, who Kidd insists i s good enough to s tar t.

Guic e i s th e b et te r pa sser-h e hit 117 of 226 attempts for 1468 yards and 14 touchdowns la s t year-but Sp ea ks holds the e dge on the option play. H is performance again st Tampa in the '66 final e is th e ba s i s for Kidd ' s confidence in hi s No . 2 man. With Guice injured ear l y in the seco nd quart er, Sp ea k s moved the t ea m with th e ooise of a vet era n as East er n maint ai ned ball cont ro l , pre serv in g - its 14 - 6 victory.

Stron g points also are found at s plit ,e nd and flankerback , where the Colon e ls h ave two of th e be s t receivers in the leagu e in co - captain Aaron M ars h and John Tazel.

Mar s h , an All-OVC se l ectio n who es tabli s hed s i x Ea s t e rn a nd co nfer e n ce r ecords, was on th e receiv ing end of 52 Gui ce to sses for 870 yards a nd 11 touchdowns in '66. Ta ze l wa s the OVC's fifth l ea din g receiver la st yea r with 34 r ece ption s for 403 yards and two tou c hdown s . Bob Buehler and Bob Luman are th e No. 2 pro s pe cts.

And then there' s the d e fen s i ve lin e, which c ould be th e s tronge st in th e conference . Returning from la s t year's group, which finished t hird in th e l eag u e in rushing de fe n se , are ends Chuck Siemon , Tom Shetler a nd Cha r les M e tzger and tackles Jim D e mler , Mill er Arritt and Philip Knau er. Co- capta in Siemon , rated a definite pro p ros pe c t by Kidd , and Arritt s hould be two of the l eag u e's t op d efensi v e s peciali sts.

Middl eg uard lack s ga m e - ex peri e nced p ers onn e l , but Kidd is quick to s mile when h e think s about the two m e n competing for the an c h or position-Teddy T ay lor and Sidn ey Y e ldell. Both off er s p ee d a nd strength to thi s vital s pot and are being groomed fo r big thin gs in the future . Y e ldell also m a y be u se d at d efe n s iv e tackle .

Jimmy Mob e rly and Ron Reed return to the inside lin e back er po s ts Moberly i s a t wo -yea r starter and Reed was in on mor e

tackles than any other Colonel In ' 66. Quaiity depth is available at both spots with Rick Dryden and Paul Hampton available for duty.

At cornerback, a replacement must be found for Smith. Don Moore returns to his position but the vacancy is being battled for by Bob Webb and Ted Green. Green had the inside track at the end of spring practice.

But then there's the problem of replacing an All-America at safety . Lynn Ray a nd Pete Compassi made strong bids for the "defender" vacancy in the spring and Ray will probably receive the starting nod from Kidd. Co-captain Harry Lenz, one of the best tacklers on the squad, adds veteran experience to the deep secondary. He returns for his fourth letter at "rover" safety.

Fullback Bob Beck, who set an Eastern scoring record last season with 68 points, gives the Colonels' offensive backfield good blocking and running power. Lowell Flanary and Don Seifert, who lack game experience , provide depth.

At tight end, letterman Doug Hampton has the inside track on the starting position. He is receiving stiff competition from Buehler, who also is back-up man for Marsh and Tazel, and Dewey Baker. All of the s e men are adequate blockers and pass receivers but lack game experience.

Bill Brewer , regarded by Kidd as " good as any in the conference," and Ron House are experienced at tackle. They could be pushed by Donnie Evan s , younger brother of former All -OVC Roy Evans, and Tom Swartz.

Offensive guard returns both starters from last year with All-OVC Fred Troike and Don Wigginton . Troike "has all the tools for greatness." Harry Gibbs will be the back-up man.

Dick Dunkle and Don Minor give the Colonels two experienced centers. Minor had earned the starting berth in 1965 but an injury one week before the s eason ooener forced him to miss the past two seasons. Dunkle , who had -been the No. 2 man, moved into the starter's role which he has held in Minor's absence. His experience as a starter gave him the edge as the No. 1 man in the spring.

Then there ' s the que s tion mark-the running backs. Veteran Ted Holcomb must make the Colonel running attack strong enough to balance the established passing game.

"Defensively, we are lettermen deep in the front -lin e and short secondary but lack experience at safety," said Kidd . "Our overall defense should be much stronger than last year.

"Offensively, we should be tough with the passing game if we can develop a running attack to keep the defenses honest," Kidd said. " I doubt if we will score as much as we did last year because we don't have the constant running threat. Our line lacks some experience but I think they will do a very capable job for us."

The Colonels must face "the best balanced and toughest" OVC schedule in history as well as powerful non-conference foes Dayton, which returns practically all of its 1966 8 - 2 squad, Northwood College (Mich.) and Youngstown.

This schedule offers Eastern a strong competitive seasonone that could see a potenti a l championship football team be lucky to break even.

But Kidd is still optimistic .
