Football-1969

Part l .. . The University . ..

Eastern Ke p tucky University's football team hasn 't lost to an Ohio Valley Conference team since November , 1966 . During the same span, the Colonels have remained in the top twenty in both national college division wire service polls, winning two OVC titles along the way . There are many reasons for this. Foremost , of course, is coach Roy Kidd and his staff. But there are other ingredients . Such as the most potent offense in the school 's history. And then there's the defense, probably the stingiest-ever , which goes about its duties with far less fanfare. This is one of the reasons our cover picture shows the defense in action. It's a Taylor-made defense, so to speak . Teddy Taylor, that is . He's No. 61. Eastern has had three straight second team All-Americans and Taylor, honorable mention twice , has a good shot at first team honors this season. The special affect art for our cover was designed by staff artist Rodger True . We hope you like it.
