Part 1 ... THE UNIVERSITY

In Retrospect

In years to come, Eastern Kentucky University's record books will probably tell you that Jimmy Brooks was the greatest runner in the school's history. They will point out that Brooks set a season rushing :mark as a freshman, when he was the leading first-year carrier in the nation. They ' ll also say he broke his own record as a soph omo re . And there's every re ason to believe he 'll break it two more times, which will assure him of a spot among the top five rushers in college division foot ball histor y . That's one of the rea sons th e cover picture shows Brooks in ac ti on. But it 's doubtful that the record books wi ll say anyt hing about fullback Butch Evans . He 's the other reason the cover picture was selected . It also shows Evans in his familiar spot -in front of Brooks-placing an enemy defender on the seat of his pants. In other words, Evans is Brooks ' protector. He 's the guy no one sees until the coaches grade the game films because Brooks is attracting all the attention with his deceptive moves. E x ample: t he cove r picture shows Brooks' legs going one way and hi s bod y going another. It's one of those pictures that's worth a few thousand words. The cover was d es igned by staff artist Rodger True .

It was suppose d to be one of those rebuilding years, a time all coaches have to live with every so often. But if it was a rebuilding year, Roy Kidd and his staff laid a nice foundation for the future. They compiled a 6-4 record and finished third in the Ohio Valley Conference , which is the kind of season that prompts a smug smile from many coaches.

Kidd, in fact, wasn ' t all that disappointed (although it was his "Norst ·season in four years and he did feel he should have finished 7-3). What pleased him the most was the way his younger players performed. He knew most everyone would be back, and he was impressed with the attitude they showed. That attitude is part of the tradition Kidd has built. It took him two mediocre easons to get there, but since then the Colonels have

won 29 games, lost 10 and tied two. That figures out to something like 75 per cent.

A glance backward could not be · complete without mentioning Teddy Taylor, a three-time All-OVC choice and a first-team college division All-American last season . (That's him being carried off the field by his teammates after his last home game.) Many coaches who read this will be happy to kno~r No. 61 ,von't be around this season. (At least, Teddy won't be wearing it.)

But No. 23 will. That jersey is worn by Jimmy Brooks , who has gained over 2,00 0 yards in two seasons and has his eye on the all-time national career rushing record. But that's another story, and you can read all about that on page 18.

Growth - in quantit y and qualit y - has been th theme at Eastern Kentucky University Th e quan t i ty speaks for itself. With an enrollment of app r ox im a t e ly 10 , 000 students the University ' s student bod y has mor e than tr i pled. since 1960 . As a result , new dormitories and la r ge, well - equipped academic structures ar e being built .

But the quality of Eastern can be measured onl y by i t s students . Today, the Eastern student is provided w i th a firm academic background . More resea r ch facilities a re a v ailable. The quality of its faculty continues to grow .

The total growth began in 1960 when D r. Rob er t R . l\tlartin assumed the presidency of East e rn , becomi ng it s si x th chief executive.

With university status effective July 1, 1966 , Eastern was reorganized into five colleges and a graduate school.

THE OHIO VALLEY CONFERENCE

In 1941, foresighted men had visions of an Ohio Valley Conference . Sports writers speculated about the impending division of the Kentucky Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. Virtually all agreed it was just a matter of time until the division took place and a new athletic conference was formed .

Then the Japan e se bombed Pearl Harbor and America was plunged jnto World War II .

Seven years later, after the hostilities had ceased, a pre-war dream became a post-war reality. The " Big Five" of the K. I. A. C. w ithdrew to form the Ohio Valle y Conference.

Making the move were Western Kentucky State College , Eastern Kentucky State College, Murray State College , Morehead State College and the University of Louisville . They were joined by Evansville College and , shortl y thereafter , by Tennessee Tech and Marshall College .

Purpose of the 0. V . C. , as set forth in its constitution,

is " to regulate , control , and promote all the recognized branches of intercollegiate athletics in institutions represented. "

Through a gradual process , the Ohio Valley Conference was to become a league of Kentucky and Tennessee state colleges . Middle Tennessee State College joined the rolls in 1952, East Tennessee State University in 1957 and Austin Peay State College in the spring of 1962 . They replaced Louisville , which became an independent in 1949 , and Marshall and Evansville , which departed in 1952.

In 1963, the league took another step forward by appointing Arthur L. Guepe, former foot ball coach and athletic director at Virginia and Vanderbilt Universities , as the OVC ' s first full-time commissioner.

Annually, the OVC presents an All-Sports Trophy fo r over-all excellence in the entire athletic program. During the past four years, Eastern has won the trophy once and finished second twice.

Roy Kidd/ The Builder

Roy Kjdd is a winner. That's the best place to start when describing Eastern Kentucky University's football coach.

Roy Kidd has built one of the ten best college division football programs in America. That's another way to say it.

But these facts are the tools used for measuring his success as a coach. What must also be said is that Roy Kidd is a paradox. A nice guy who finishes first. A football coach who is respected by his players, although he demands the ultimate in dedication and determination.

It's a nice combjnation.

Kidd started winning as a little leaguer in Corbin, Ky. He continued on the plus side of the ledger as a high s chool athlete and then as a football and baseball star at Eastern.

When he was graduate assistant coach, Eastern went unbeaten and received an invitation to the Tangerine Bowl. Then he started coaching in high school, building tiny Madison into a state football powerhouse. He had a 54-10-1 record, a 27-game winning streak and 14 consecutive unscored-upon games. He was Kentucky Coach of the Year in 1961 when the Purples were ranked No. l in the state all season.

He went to Morehead as an assistant coach in 1962 and helped guide the Eagles to their second winning season in 13 years and a share of the OVC championship.

Then it was back to Eastern in 1963 where he served o ne year as an assistant before taking over the head job.

His first season was the only time in his career as a head coach that he was associated with a losing team. T he Colonels went 3-5-1. They improved that to 4-4-1

the following year , and Kidd was elected Coach of th Year in the OVC .

It was 1965 when the Kidd era really began to flex its muscles.

Eastern has won 29 games, lost 10 and tied two since then, for a winning percentage of .755. They ' ve captured two OVC championships, had an unbeaten string of 14 games in the league, and won the 1967 NCAA Mideast Regional championship (covering more than 100 teams in 10 states) by defeating Ball State 27-13 in the Grantland Rice Bowl.

During the span, the Colonels were ranked in the top twenty in both wire service polls, going as high as second.

These are the things that say, emphatically, Roy Kidd is a winner. He has a brilliant football mind. He is a strategist who isn't afraid to gamble when necessary. He is an organizer who has surrounded himself with winners on his staff. (When he talks football, his players and his staff are his two favorite subjects.)

His ability to communicate with his players - to bridge the proverbial gap - stems from a realistic, matterof-fact attitude. He's a straight talker who pulls no punches and he's genuinely concerned about each indiv idual as a player , as a student, and as a citizen.

Much has been said about Roy Kidd's goals. He has accompHshed most of them . But there are two he's still pointing for. An unbeaten season and the national championship. They are energetic goals, to be sure. But then again, so were the others.

Kidd is married to the former Susan Purcell of Richmond. They have three children, Marc (12) , Kathy (9) and Keith (7).

Bo.b Harville

Offensive Line Coach

Bobby Harville is an intensely dedicated y oung coach who relishes new challenges. Last season is a good e x ample. It was Harville who drew the assignment of developing a host of newcomers into a solid offensive line. He did just that. And he has them back this year.

He has always been one of the versatile members of the staff. Harville's first year was spent with the off ensive backfield and the following season he coached the defensive secondary. That year th e defense set a conference record with 20 interceptions .

And those are the reasons Kidd pe r suaded Harville t o join his staff in 1965 - he knew frmn experience th e Harlan native was a dedicated work e r with a keen knowl e d g e of all aspects of the game.

Harville and Kidd's professional association began 1n 1957 at Richmond Madison.

The next five years Harville sp e nt as an assistant a t Elizabethtown (Ky . ) and Lancaster ( Ohio) where th e t e ams with which he was associat e d compiled a 41- 9 re cord.

Then i n 1965, Harville returned to Madison High School as i t s head football coach . He was inhe r itin g a t eam that w·as 4-6 a nd had graduated 13 s enio r s , thr e e of whom were to pla y college football.

But Harville brou g ht the Ro y al P ur p les' w inni ng footb all tradition back to life. Instilling basic fundamentals and a strong desire to win , he huilt a win n er. That yea r M a dison had a 10-4 record, won the C e ntral Kentucky Conference and lost t o Ft. Thomas Highlands fo r the s tate Class AA championship.

Harville is 1narried to the former Sandra Sharp of South Fort Mitchell. They have three children , Robert Michael (11) , Virginia Louise (9) , and Leigh Ann ( 4).

Fred Francis

Offensive Backfield Coach

Affable , energetic Fred F r ancis has been a significa nt factor in the success of Eastern ' s football program. H e has developed an outstanding running attack built aroun d All-American candidate Jimmy Brooks and he has pla y ed a major role in the Colonels' recruiting program .

Francis ' initial assignment when he came to Easter n in 1967 was to develop a ground attack to complement a w ell-established passing gam e . He did , molding perhap s the finest 1-2 running punch in the OVC with Brooks and fullback Butch Evans.

Now , thanks to Francis, the Colonels are c apabl e of striking with equal force by land or by air.

Fred puts as much into a practice session as he expects from his runners. He's constantly in motion, shouting encouragement and sometim.es even g oing through drills with his players.

His personable manner has helped attract sev e ral outstanding players on this year's club.

His reputation on the high school coaching level is w ell established throughout Kentuc k y. With Francis at t he helm, St . Joseph Prep in Bardstown was r ecogniz ed as one of the state ' s perennial Clas s A powe rs with a three -year 20-6-4 record.

F r a n ci s' 1966 t e am wa s ranked ninth in the s t ate , went t h ro ugh the school ' s first und~feated -season with an 8-0-3 r e cord and defeated Cl a ss AA runner-up Lexington Henr y Clay in the Recreation Bowl.

He married Freda Catron of Lexington. Th ey ha ve two sons , Anthony (5) , and Timothy ( 3) .

Bill Shannon Defensive Une Coach

There is every reason to believe Bill Shannon is goin g t o enjoy this football season . He has a host of returnin g lettermen with good size and quickness and should r etain his reputation as a stingy person.

Shannon ' s defensive units have established several r ecords at Easte r n. In 1967, they gave up only 70 points in 10 games. Only one other college or university in the nation did better. The following season, the Colonels y ielded less than 100 yards a game. Last season, consi dered a rebuilding phase for the coaching staff, Eastern finished second in the OVC in scorin g defense.

Shannon played a major role in developing Teddy Taylor into a first-team All-American last season and Taylor and Sid Yeldell are the only absentees this year.

Noted for his humor off the field and dead-pan s eriousness on the field, Shannon has developed an excellent r ap p ort with e ach player , taking a special interest in t heir individual progress .

Shannon enjoyed considerable success at Dixie Heights High School in South Fort Mitchell, winning three N orthern Kentucky Conference championships and the Recreation Bowl , and gaining a tie in his only Burley Bowl Appearance.

The distinguished war veteran was Kentucky ' s Coach of the Year in 1955 and made three Kentucky East-West All-Star coaching appearances.

Th e one- time Danville High School star is n1arried t o the former Mary Peters, also of Danville. She ser v es as a registered nurse in the university infirmary.

Jack Ison Defensive Backfield Coach

Jack Ison f aces the o nl y m a j o r r ebuilding job o n t h e East e rn football team. Graduation left him with only on e full-tirne s tarter from last season. But Ison , a quiet , scholarl y t y p e who devotes long hours to his specialty, has been called upon before to replace personnel at ke y positions. And he has done it . In fact, only once in fou r seasons has he welcomed a veteran unit to the defensiv e backfield. Still , the Colonels have ranked high in pass defense each year.

The soft-spoken Kentuckian de v eloped the best pass defense in the OVC in his first season at Eastern. Since then , the Colonel secondary has gained a reputation for clutch play , especially deep in its own territory.

Kidd is well aware of the 1961 Eastern graduate ' s coaching abilities - he gave Ison his first job at Richmond's Madison Hi g h School.

After assisting Kidd to a 13-1 record and a Class AA r unner-up trophy in 1961 , Ison was named head coach in 1962 when Kidd entered the college coaching field. The Royal Purples w e re 6-2-2 under his guidance.

He received th e M.A . degree from Eastern in 1963 and entered the University of Indiana graduate school that fall , ea r ning 32 hours toward a doctorate.

The Russell nati v e is married to th e former Patrici a Lykins, whom he met as a classmate at Eastern. The y have two daughters , Elizabeth (8) and Melinda (4) .

MOBERLY Graduate Assistant

Jimmy Moberly is no stranger to the Colonel coaching staff. He played high school football under Roy Kidd, Bobby Harville, and Jack Ison while leading Richmond Madison to a place of prominence in Kentucky High School football. Moberly then went to Eastern , where he earned a starting job at linebacker his sophomore year. Defensive coach Bill Shannon called Jimmy "poun d-fo r-pound, the finest football player in the country." Moberly's playing weight sometimes dipped as low a.s 165 pounds, but he called defensive signals and was a first-team All-Ohio Valley Conference choice his senior year. He will assist with the linebacking corps , a vital cog in Kidd ' s four-man front.

BOB BECK Graduate Assistant

Bob Beck is recognized as an expert of sorts at knocking defensive players on the seats of their pants . Beck came to Eastern without a scholarship but quickly earned one. He also earned four letters and a reputation as the best blocking back in the OVC. He was a prime ingredient in the Colonels ' climb into the national spotlight. He was the second leading rusher on the team, set a new school scoring record, and was the starting full back on two OVC championship teams. But more importantly, he was a blocker. And that's exactly what he ' ll be teaching as a graduate assistant at Eastern.

JIMMY

Glenn E. Presnell

Director of Athlehcs

Glenn Presnell has been associated with Eastern athletics for 22 years, serving the past six as the university's first full-time athletic director.

In ten years as Eastern's football coach, he guided his teams to 42 victories, 49 losses and three ties. During that time, the Maroons won one OVC title outright and gained a four-way share of the crown in 1962. Until one of his students, Roy Kidd, won the 1967 and 1968 championships, Presnell was the only Kentucky coach who could claim more than one OVC halo.

His first year as head coach, 1954, was his best. His Maroons went undefeated in season play and lost to Omaha University 7-6 in what is still regarded as the greatest Tangerine Bowl game ever played in Orlando, Florida.

But Presnell was a football legend even befor,e he came to Eastern.

Born at Gilead, Nebraska, Presnell was an AllAmerican halfback at Nebraska, and played in the EastW est All-Star Gam e in San Francisco at the end of his college career in 1927.

Later, with the Portsmouth Spartans and the Detroit Lions in the National League, he ·was an all-league performer.

Against Green Bay in 1934, the popular Presnell kicked a 54-yard field goal, which stood as the N.F.L. recor d for 19 years, and is still the second longest in the League's history. The NFL's 1964 yearbook cited Presnell as one of the key men in Detroit's 1935 championship.

Presnell began his collegiate coaching career in 1937 as backfield coach at the University of Kansas. In 1938 he returned to Nebraska as backfield coach, and in 1942 he was named head coach there. Nebraska played Stanford in the Rose Bowl in 1941, while he was backfield coach of the Cornhuskers.

In 1943 and '44, Presnell coached the backfield at North Carolina Pre-Flight, while serving as a naval officer . He returned to Nebraska in 1946, before coming to Eastern in the fall of 1947. He was named head coach in 1954.

He married the former Lizbeth Gehrling of Ironton, Ohio, in 1929, and found in her his most faithful fan and supporter. They have one son, Danny, who teaches at Madison Central High School in Richmond . His chief hobby is golf , and he coaches the Eastern golfers, but he takes an interest in all sports.

Ken Murray's contributions to East' ern's athletic program exceed the limits of a trainer. He is an energetic y oun g man with unique talents and t otallv dedicated to his profession. But he also assumes many other responsibilities and, through his own initiative , bas sought to instill a sense of pride and determination among the players. His success as a trainer was evidenced during his first year w~en the Colo1:-els made it through an entire season without serious injury. A graduate of the University of Texas, Murray received his masters degree from East Tennessee State University. His training experience includes work on virtually . every level of competitive athletics. He · began with a high school program , adyanced to junior college, served as a student trainer at Texas and an assistant at East Tennessee. He also was a trainer for the NFL ' s Atlanta Falcons. Murray, a son of missionary parents; was raised in Bulape , Congo Africa and speaks six languages fluently. He is married to the former Lenore Saunders.

Karl Park has begun his first year in the role of Spo rts Information Director for E2.stern ' s athletic teams. Park graduated from Eastern where he served as sports e ditor of the school newspaper, The Eastern Progress , for three years. He assisted former Eastern SID David Vance on the statistics crew for three years, also.

A Hint of Optimism

Roy Kidd has never been accused of being an optimist when it comes to football. He expects the worst, prepares for it, and usually gets the best of it. He has, in the past, had spells of guarded optimism when predicting his team ' s chances, but never has he come right out and admitted the picture was bright. Not until now.

Bu;t let it be said at this point that Roy Kidd is , indeed, optimistic. He still places a cautious finger on possible loop holes, but admits they're hard to find. Last season was one for rebuilding. The Colonels had won two straight OVC titles and gone 14 games without losing in the league. But last season Kidd had reason to be skeptical. So he had a team of young players who were long on talent but short on experience. It wasn't exactly a dismal season, either. The Colonels won six, lost four, and finished third in the conference race. This year most -everyone is returning. Thus, the optimism.

On defense the familiar No. 61, worn for four seasons by first team All-American Teddy Taylor, will be missing. Also gone is tackle Sid Yeldell. The secondary will be without the services of all-conference performer Ted Green , Bob Webb, Pete Campassi and Harold Joyce. Offensivel y, quarterback Bill March, receivers, Don Buehler and Larry Lightfoot, and guard Tom Swartz are the missing persons.

In a capsule, the losses were in quality instead of quantity. So what can we expect this year? Ask the man who knows.

Q: Coach Kidd, who will be your replacements at those vacated positions?

l{ i dd : "Well, we had some good young people last year who got some game experience backing up the veterans. Teddy Taylor's spot will be filled by Wally Chambers, who has shown tremendous improvement since coming here. Also, Mike Nicholson will help in the defensive line. Mike missed last year with an injury and still has three more years of eligibility. We have James Porter back in the secondary and several new kids showed us a l:ot in the spring. Bob Fricker will take over at quarterback. I have complete confidence in Bob's ability . He's a good leader - not quite the passer we ' ve had in recent years - but very quick and sound on the option. Chuck Walrath will be back at flanker, and Larry Kirksey, James Wilson and William Wright will provide excellent targets for Fricker. "

Q: Breaking it down a little more~ what can we expect on defense?

K id d: "You can expect an aggressive, hard-nosed unit that will surprise me if it gives up much ground this year. At tackle, we have Chambers (6-foot-5, 240 pounds) and Eddie Huffman ( 6-3, 240) and at the ends there are Nicholson (6-4, 228), Tom Reid (6-1, 226), and Mark S hireman (6-1 , 200). Our linebacking corps is probably the best since I've been here. There are Ed King, James Croudep . Rich Cook, Mike Armstrong and Brian Seim.on. Groudep could be another Taylor before he leaves here . We lost Rich Thomas and that's really going to hurt. He was our leader on defense. The secondary isn' t that much of a question mark because there are some good athletes back there. Besides Porter we have Mike O ' N eal and Jackie Miller, a converted linebacker, and Tom Lyons and Bill Gardner had good springs."

Q: How . about the offense?

Kidd: " Jim1ny Brooks is back , and that ' s saying a lot in itself. Jimmy should have another outstanding yea r. A big reason will be Butch Evans , one of our co-captains, who is a relentless blocker and an excellent runner. Fricker will direct the team well and he has some good support. Our receivers are pretty solid, although we do lack depth . In fact, depth in the offensive line is one of our problems. There are some outstanding individuals in Larry Kaelin, "Toodie" Irwin, Pat Sheridan, Fred Sandusky and Jon Ankney. I just hope we can find good backup men. "

Q: In t he final analysis , what can we expect?

Kidd: ''Thafs a loaded question, and I sure wouldn' t want it to backfire on us, but I think we're going to have a real sound football team. There are only three seniors . on the entire squad and most of our players are sophomores, so we're going to be asking a lot from them. And the OVC is better than ever . But we have the nucleus of a good club. We have every reason to think they'll be ready . The attitude is excellent. I think we've got a winner ."

A State Of Mind

Jimmy Brooks is just a junior. He has played in only 17 college football games. But Jimmy Brooks is also a bona-fide All-American candidate. It has been obvious since his freshman year, when he averaged 145 yards a game, that he was something special. He proved it again as a sophomore, when he was named honorable mention AU-American. Now he's ready for the Big Move.

Jimmy Brooks is a six-foot, 185-pounder who isn ' t really particular about which way he gets his yardage . He'll go over you if he has to, but he's at his best when he couples deceptive moves with his blurring speed and quickness. But there are more concrete facts which support his candidacy. Consider, if you will, these . points:

•- He gained 1,013 yard s in seven games as a freshman, more than any first-year college division player in the country.

- He gained 1,102 yards in nine games his sophomore year. He also picked up 225 yards in 10 kickoff returns and caught eight passes for 176 yards.

- He has averaged almost five yards every time he carries the ball.

- He holds the school record for most yards gained in one game (188).

- He holds the school record for most yards gained in one season (1,1 02) .

- He's a sure bet to set the all-time school rushing record early in his junior year.

- At his current pace, he will become the fifth leading rusher in the history of college football. He has his sights set on the national record .

Like all great performers 1 you would have to see Jimmy Brooks in action to really appreciate him. You could get an even better picture if you talked with him. He vr as asked last . pring if he had a secret formula for success. He responded this way: "Man's greatest asset is his state of mind . I set goals that seem beyond reach. Then I go after them with the firm conviction that I'll surpass them ."

So far , Jimmy Brooks has done just what he set out to do . Maybe a little more. But that ' s ,vhat All-Americans are made of.

The running game is bolstered by Charles VanPelt and Dave Means. Versatile Willie Lenz y, John Allen and Harry Palmer will b e battling for a starting berth at slotback. Dwight Hodgin ' s center post will be up for grabs . Eastern leads the series , 2-0.

D esp it e losing 14 seniors from 1969 ' s unbeaten Ohio Valley Conference and NCAA Mid-East Regional championship team, East Tennessee Stat e will return a soljd nucleus for Coach John R o bert Bell and his staff.

Eastern Michigan Universit y will be undertaking its most difficult football schedule ever this fall. However, Coach Dan Boisture will be bringing back 23 lettermen who appear to be ready fo r the task. The Hurons will lose 15 letter winning seniors from the 1969 squad , but the 23 returnees gained plent y of experienc e from the recent campaign . The defense will center around Dave Pureifory, the big junior tackle who was a stalwart in his sophomore year.

Offensively, the backfield remains intact after last season with quarterback Don St e wart entering his junior year.

Prospectus

W estern Kentucky returns 31 of 4 0 lettermen from a 6-3-1 team that finished second in the OVC. But the Hilltoppers coaching staff must replace three members of the starting backfield. The offensive unit has one returning starter at each position. Defensively, Coach Jimmy Feix and his staff are all smiles . Only one player was lost from last year's platoon that was stingier than any team in the confer e nc e exc e pt champion East Tennessee. Heading the list is the 1969 OV C Defensive Pla yer of the Year, rugged Law rence Bram e . Sev eral freshmen will get the ca ll to fill the gaps on offense, bu t the Hilltoppers should field another title contender this season . Western leads the series, 26-15-1.

Prospectus

With most of last year's team back, plus a good crop of freshmen and a handful of transfers, the Racer coaching staff, usually a pessimistic bunch, can't help but let a bit of optimism creep into their voices when they d is cuss prospects for next season .

Twenty-four certified lettermen will be back next fall, 18 of whom were starters at least part of the year, and several other players will be around who saw som.e varsity action. Among those back will b e t ight end J a ck ·wolf, quarterb a ck Matt Haug, split e nd Bill H e ss , guard Ken Pelot , defensive tackle Dave Ford, and defensive tackle Jim , Nilson.

Eastern leads the series, 14-1~-4.

Prospectus

This is the season Coach Don Wade has waited two long years for. It marks the first time since Wade took o ver at Tech in 1968 that he ' ll be able to start wit h a group of seasoned veterans. The Golden Eagles closed fast last season and finished with a 5-5 record and a third-place tie in the OVC. All-American fullback La rry Schreiber will be missing, but a host of candidates for his j o b mak e s the picture e ven bright er . Leadin ,g the way will b e quarterback Stev e Ail ey, who directed the Eagles to a 4-1 record after mid ·· se ason; Rog er Hill, orobable r e placem e nt for Schreiber; linebacker John Tann er a nd offensive guard Bill Swaggerty. More balance is expected and the Golden Ea g l e s sho uld improve on last year's .500 season . Eastern leads th~ series 14-12.

1969 Resu Its

This is a rebuilding year for the Sycamores, for while there are 18 lettermen returning, of the 21 that are gone, ten started all three years, and fifteen were starters last year. Included in the exodus are the school record-holders in rushing, passing, scoring, pass receiving, kicking and interception returns. The loss of quarterback Verbie Walder will cause problems for coach Jerry Hunt sman, but the Sycamores return a strong running game built around Jesse Ealy. Also expected to provide support in that depart1nent is newcomer Gary Brown, a 9. 7 sprinter with great moves. The receiving corps also should be solid. The question 1nar ks are in the offensive line , the linebackers and defensive ends. Experience will take its toll early, but the potential is there.

Prospectus

Although he has 32 lettermen returning from last year's squad (6-4 overall and 3-4 in the OVC ), Jak e Hallum needs a sound, strong - armed quarter back a n d some line rep la cements if the Eagles are to be contenders in the stronger Ohio Valley Conference . Hallum's quarterback quest is vital if he is to take advantage of the best group of receivers in the school ' s history. All-OVC split end .John High snared 54 passes last season and wingback Dennis Crowley grabbed 31 more. Fullback John Coning, wide receivers Jeff Perkins and Mo Hollingswo rth and ti ght end Gary Shirk also can handl~ the aerials.

Eastern leads the erie , 25-12-4.
