Coach Bill Furgerson is certain that the 1968 Racer s will b e tougher than last year's team which won 4 games and l ost fiv e but he is also certain that th e Ohio Va ll ey Conferenr,e will b ~ tougher throughout and that Mu rr a y's chances for a better record may b e slim. Murray will ha ve 22 lettermen back from last year's team, among whom will be quarterback Larry Tillman, who se t new school and conference records for about all pa ss ing catego r ie s.

Tennessee Tech 's top returnee is Larry Schreiber, and that is enough to put fear in th e opponents' hearts . Schr e iber rushed for 1,069 yards last season in 183 carries, a 5.8 average per carry. David F air is set at quarterback; the offens i ve line is the question mark. T ech's defense is considered strong with lettermen returning at all positions. The biggest prob l em for the Go l den Eagles cou l d be lack of depth . The series is tied 12 - 12.
