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.
