It's homecoming It's Western Kentucky. It's door-die in the Ohio Valley Conference In short, it's incentive No psyche job needed today

Coach Roy Kidd and his Colonels still have a shot at their third consecutive league championship. They are one of three teams remaining with less than two losses

Western , meanwhile, has developed a highly effective offensive punch to complement a defense that carried the Hilltoppers through the first part of the season. An impressive 42-0 victory over Tennessee Tech last week is proof-positive. It was Western's first triumph in the league, however , so it too is in a must situation

It's a typical setting for an Eastern-Western game.

Quarterback Johnny Vance (No. 15) will be a man to watch today for the Hilltoppers Vance displayed the versatility last week that guided Western to a second-place tie in the OVC in 1968. The rangy senior is equally effective at running and passing. Assistance in the running game will come from senior workhorse Jim Vorhees and tailback Nat Northington , who started slow but is beginning to jell.

That trio, coupled with a veteran offensive line, will go against Teddy Taylor & Co. The Colonels had displayed a stingy defense through the first four games, but suffered considerably in the 28-9 loss to Akron. At least five freshmen are expected to start on defense for the Colonels.

Offensively, Eastern's attack will focus on tailback Jimmy Brooks , who is headed for his second straight l ,000-yard season despite missing the Akron game Fullback Butch Evans , with his crisp blocking and bulllike plunges, helps take th e pressure off Brooks

Eastern's passing game hasn't been as effective as in recent seasons, but game experience has resulted in obvious improvement in that department

Although Western holds a 24-15- l edge in the pressure-packed series, since the Rome Rankin era at Eastern (which began in 1935), the Hilltoppers' lead is only 15-14- l Eastern has dominated the rivalry since 1947, when Tom Samuels was given the task of upgrading the football program at the Richmond School.

Since that time , the Colonels have won 12, lost nine and there has been one tie The Hilltoppers' won nine of the first ten meetings between the two schools and 15 of the first 20.

Western h&s not defeated Eastern since 1964 and coach Roy Kidd holds a 3-1 - l record against the Hilltoppers'
