Title
A name given to the resource
EKU Color Transparencies
Description
An account of the resource
This collection includes some of the earliest color images of Eastern's campus and faculty and students. Subjects include homecoming, classroom activities, student life and campus scenes. Most of the collection consists of 2x2 and 3x3 mounted slides, but also includes some film that was never mounted as well as some large format slides. The University seems to have used color transparencies for the color images that appeared at the front of the yearbook.

EKU Photographs
Description
An account of the resource
The Eastern Kentucky University (EKU) Photograph Collection consists of photographs and negatives of students, faculty, and events at EKU. Subjects range from individual faculty headshots and classroom pictures to commencement and candid everyday student life photos. Organizational pictures, shots of campus in general, athletics and other official photos taken from the university photographer are also included. Many of these images were taken for publication in marketing materials or for use in the school newspaper, yearbook and alumni magazines. The collection also includes snapshots taken by employees attending events.
The collection may be used for all types of research, keeping in mind that individuals are often unidentified, so search broadly. All images available have been described here, but not all are scanned. Photographs with only a description can be requested by filling out a duplication request (see the link in the menu at the top of the page).

Description
An account of the resource
The Eastern Kentucky University (EKU) Photograph Collection consists of photographs and negatives of students, faculty, and events at EKU. Subjects range from individual faculty headshots and classroom pictures to commencement and candid everyday student life photos. Organizational pictures, shots of campus in general, athletics and other official photos taken from the university photographer are also included. Many of these images were taken for publication in marketing materials or for use in the school newspaper, yearbook and alumni magazines. The collection also includes snapshots taken by employees attending events.
The collection may be used for all types of research, keeping in mind that individuals are often unidentified, so search broadly. All images available have been described here, but not all are scanned. Photographs with only a description can be requested by filling out a duplication request (see the link in the menu at the top of the page).

EKU Photographs
Description
An account of the resource
The Eastern Kentucky University (EKU) Photograph Collection consists of photographs and negatives of students, faculty, and events at EKU. Subjects range from individual faculty headshots and classroom pictures to commencement and candid everyday student life photos. Organizational pictures, shots of campus in general, athletics and other official photos taken from the university photographer are also included. Many of these images were taken for publication in marketing materials or for use in the school newspaper, yearbook and alumni magazines. The collection also includes snapshots taken by employees attending events.
The collection may be used for all types of research, keeping in mind that individuals are often unidentified, so search broadly. All images available have been described here, but not all are scanned. Photographs with only a description can be requested by filling out a duplication request (see the link in the menu at the top of the page).

contains four basketball courts in an auxiliary gymnasium on the east
end; eight classrooms; twenty offices; both indoor and outdoor
swimming pools, shower and locker rooms; a projection room; and
many other multi-purpose facilities.

as a recreation and physical education area.
T he compact sports center also includes a new nine-lane allweather Chevron track ; a women's hockey field; 12 all-weather tennis
courts, lighted for night play; the Turkey Hughes Baseball Field; two
fully equipped footba ll practice fields and Eastern's 20,000-seat

of its kind - spanning 309 feet and providing an unobstructed view of
the variety of events which are held in the main auditorium. A total of
626,276 board feet of lumber form the 170 beams, and the roof, which

�1983-84 WOMEN'S BASKETBALL PROSPEC"fUS
When Eastern Kentucky University's fift h -year head basketball
coach, Dr. Dianne Murphy, unveils the 1983-84 ed ition of the Colonel
basketball team, spectators w ill not ice a more t alented and experi enced
squ ad. For the first time since coming to Eastern, Murphy wi l l field a
team that is 11 deep in talent along with a highly skil led wa lk-on.
Murphy and assistant coach Nell Hensley worked d iligen tly to assemble
a grou p of experi enced vetera ns and promising freshmen.
Five out-of-sta te players dot the '83-84 roster while eight of the
players are from t he Bluegrass state. The maiority of t he players ar e
fo r mer All-State performers, wh ile the squad is split among three
seniors, th ree juniors, th ree sophomores, and four freshman . Eastern
lost one player by graduation, incl uding the Colonels' third all -time
scorer, T ina Wer muth . Werm uth was ALL-KWIC as a sophomore and
was selected to the A II-OVC team each of her four co llegiate year s.
The Colo n els' optimism about the upcom ing season can partially be
attributed to this yea r 's freshman class as Murphy landed o n e of
Kentucky and Georgia's top prep players, and a super leaper from New
York. All three freshm en f igure heavily i nto Murphy's plans for th is year .
Lois Buntyn, a freshman walk- on, is also expected to develop into a fine
player.
However, the key to EKU's quest for th e Ohio Va l ley Conference
championsh ip h inges on the experience and play of eight retu rni ng
veterans and an All -Amer ican junior college transfer.
Return ing to th e backcourt is fourth -yea r player, All OVC guard,
Lisa Goodin, who has sta rted for the past th ree years. Lisa, who handles
the playmaki ng d uties, led the team wit h a 19 .1 ppg average and led t he
nation for t he second t ime in her career from the free throw li ne at 91 %.
Back for their final season are guards, 5'4" Ka ren Evans, an excellent
defensive player, and 5'6" Freda H agan, an outstandi ng passer. Adding
to the backcou rt st rength is Loretta Pate, with her excellent j ump ing
ability and good shooting touch . Oldham Coun ty's, Lois Buntyn, will
provide additiona l depth at the gua rd position and shou ld develop as she
gains experience .
The small forwards will be led by 5' 11" Marcia Ha ney, 5 '9"
freshman Dia na Bi lling, and 5'8" freshman Va n Marshel. Haney, a long
d istance scorer and inte lligent defensive player, should be ready to
complete a successf ul season. B ill ing is expected to contri bute early
w it h her scorin g, whi le Marshel will add tremendou s jumping abi l ity
and pure athletic talent.
Battling at the power forward position w ill be 6'0" sophom ore
Margy Shelton, who was named to the AI I-OVC freshman team; and
Martha Gerton, a 6'0" A l l-Stater from Washington County High School
52
�in Springfield . Tina Cottle. a 6'1" junior college All-American and
Shannon Brady, a 6 ' 1 " junior, will battle at the post position. Brady
provides excellent defensive post play and consisten t free -throw
shooting, while Cottle offers strength and agility. Both pla yers are
extremely coachable, hard workers and will motivate and cha llenge
each other.
Eastern will match its skills against some outstanding opponents.
including nationally-ranked University of Kentucky. The Colonels
compete in the Masonic Classic in Miami, Fla .. and will also participate
in their own Colonel Ho liday Classic.

PROSPECTUS
All six school record -breakers will return this season for coach Dan
Lichty and the 1983-84 edition of the Eastern Kentucky University Eels.
Leading the way this winter for the Eels will be co-captains Brian
Conroy and Scott Vennefron. Conroy, a senior from Satellite Beach, Fla.,
owns four personal records and is a member of two record-holding relay
teams, while Vennefron has one relay and one individual school record.
Last season, more than 85 per cent of the swims at the
championship meets were lifetime bests as the Eels captured their 17th
Kentucky Intercollegiate Championship and finished sixth out of 12
teams at the Midwest Meet.
Gone from the team that posted a 5-6 dual meet record are eight
seniors, including outstanding distance swimmer Scott Behymer and
diver Jim Scott.

OHIO VALLEY CONFERENCE
In 194 1, the "Big Five" of the K.I.A.C . w ithdrew to form the Ohio Valley
Co nference .
Making t he move were Western Kentucky State College, Eastern
Ke ntucky State Col lege, Murray State Col lege, Morehead State College
and the University of Louisville. They were j oined by Evansville College
and, shortly thereaft er, by Tennessee Tech and Marshall College.
Purpose of the O.V.C., as set forth in its constit ut ion, is "to regulate,
con trol and promote al l the recognized branches of intercollegiate ath letics
in institutions represented."
Through a gradua l process, the Ohio Vallley Conference was to
become a league of Kentucky and Te nnessee state colleges. Midd le
Ten nessee State College joined the rolls i n 1952, East Te nnessee State
Un iversity i n 1957 and Austin Peay State College in the spring of 1962.
Th ey replaced Louisvi lle, wh ich became an independent in 1949, and
M arsha ll and Evansvil le, wh ich departed in 1952.
Un iversity of Akron's Z ips became the eigthth member of the Ohio
Va lley Confere nce on July 1, 1978, and Youngstown State University was
added a year later.
Eastern's women's teams also compete against other OVC schools in
a re gu lar season schedu le in basketba ll and tournaments in tenn is and
volleyba ll. Championships are held also in cross country and track.
The Co lonels rank second i n the conference's all -time st andings with
a 2 15-190 won -l ost record and a .53 1 wi n n ing percentage. The Colonel s
have won four regu lar season t itl es outright (in '53, '59, '65, and '79).
Jim Delany, a 35-year-old former NCAA investigator, is serving his
f ift h year as comm issioner of the Ohio Va l ley Conference . T he
Succasunna, NJ, native is a 1970 graduate of th e University of North

EASTERN KENTUCKY UNIVERSITY
Growth - in quantity and quality - has been the theme at Eastern
Kentucky University. The quantity speaks for itself. With an enrol lment of more than 13,000 students, the University's student body has
nearly tripled since 1960. As a result, new dormitories and large, wellequipped academic structures have been bu ilt.
Dr. J. C. Powell completed his sixth year as president of the
University in October. Powell, the school's seventh president, succeeded Dr. Robert R. Martin who served EKU in that position for 16¼
years.
At a 1978 Board of Regents meeting, Eastern was reorganized into
nine colleges and a graduate school. Five colleges-Applied Arts and
Tech nology, Business, Education, Law Enforcement and Allied Health
and Nursing - remained intact.
Four new colleges were created, including N atural and Mathematical Sciences, Social and Behaviorial Sciences, Arts and Humanities and Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Athletics.
The masters degree is offered in several fields as is the specialist
degree. A joint doctoral program in education is sponsored in cooperation wi th the University of Kentucky.
The physical plant has undergone bu ilding and renovation
programs totaling more than $138 million since 1960. During this
period every ex isting major campus faci lity has been remodeled o r
completely reconstructed.

for women and two coeducational intercollegiate sports. Extensive intramural, free play and club sports programs are sponsored providing
varied participation opportunities for all.
These programs are an integral part of the total program and

people as citizens and for their leadership contributions to the youth in
the nation's schools and elsewhere.
The College of Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Athletics
offers a variety of degree programs at the undergraduate and graduate
levels. The coaches of athletics are among the fifty-seven full-time
faculty members representing more than a score of the finest colleges
and universities in the nation, required to produce academic, intramural
and varsity athletic programs.
The extensive indoor and outdoor facilities are used interchangeably for instruction and athletics as is the faculty. The College, which is
organized under a single administrative unit, includes three academic
departments under which there are seventeen undergraduate and
graduate degree programs and intercollegiate athletics. This type organization contributes significantly to successful coordination of the
program, faculty and facilities for maximum contribution to the overall
mission of the University.
The College is headed by Dean Russell Bogue. Its three academic
departments are: School and Public Health, chaired by Dr. Herman Bush;
Recreation and Park Administration, chaired by Dr. James McChesney;
Physical Education chaired by Dr. Lee Gentry. The College's program of
intercollegiate athletics is administered by Athletic Director, Mr. Donald
G. Combs, and Assistant Athletic Director, Dr. Martha Mullins. Its newly
created Department of H.P.E.R. & A. Services is administered by Dr. Fred
Darling.
Through its departments, the College offers six baccalaureate
degree programs and one two-year associate of arts option curricula for
undergraduate students. At the graduate level, the College offers the
Master of Science in Physical Education, Recreation and Park Administration, and Physical Education with the Sports Administration Option.
Additional degree programs offered in cooperation with the College of
Education include Specialist in Education, Master of Arts in Health
Education, Allied Health, Physical Education, along with Rank II and

The College also serves EKU's general education program through
required physical education and health classes for freshmen and sophomores.

�Enrolled in the College's academic programs are some 1,100 majors,
including more than 400 graduate students. To serve this large enrollment, the College boasts a full-time faculty of 57, including 22 members
with the earned doctorate. Thirty graduate assistants perform ted"ching
and other services.
A balanced athletic program , intramural, sports clubs and intercollegiate, is provided by the College. Intramural and sport clubs
programs are sponsored through the H.P.E.R. & A. services department
by intramural directors. Competition in numerous sports, including
softball, flag football , soccer, racquetball, bowling , volleyball, table

course and an outdoor education-recreation demonstration area are
located at Arlington. There are four equipped training rooms attached to
the intercollegiate locker rooms in four buildings.
The seven-story Begley Building is designed to serve nearly 2,000
students hourly in classes and also provides seating for more than 20,000
football spectators. Included in the structure are three gymnasiums, 12
handball courts, 36 classrooms, 60 offices and the dressing facilities for
physical education and football. A training area includes two exercise
and weight-lifting rooms, a steam room and a large therapy tank. A
seminar room and reception area are located on the second level of the
building. Offices on this level have been accoustically treated to absorb
sound from the open-top athletic area.
The Thomas E. McDonough Intramural Fields, which boasts 10
football fields, two of which are varsity practice fields and another two
which are large enough for soccer play, are in use. In season, eight
softball fields may be superimposed on the football layouts.

�ALUMNI COLISEUM -
Home of the Colonels
Alumni Coliseum stands proudly on a southern slope of the
Eastern campus, form ing the nucleus of a rapidly evolving, thoughtfully planned sports center. A 1,300 car, mult i-purpose parking area is
located immediately in front of the arena. In addition, a 404-car parking area just north of Hanger Football Field is within convenient
walking distance.
The coliseum is a massive physical plant, a great triumph in
architectu ral design and a new con cept in com bination structures. In
addition to the main auditorium, the physical education-athletic plant
contains four basketball courts in an auxiliary gymnasium on the east
end; eight classrooms; twenty offices; both indoor and outdoo r
swimming pools, shower and locker rooms; a projection room; and
many other multi-purpose fac ilities.
The main arena seats 6,500 for basketball games and approximately 8,000 for other programs. Ultimate seating capacity for basketball will be 10,000 and for other programs, about 12,000. A hydraul icoperated stage is located at the east end of the arena.
The parking area also serves as a marching field for the
university's band, the Marching Maroons and the R.O.T.C. unit, as well
as a recreation and physical education area.
The compact sports center also includes a new nine-lane allweather Chevron track; a women's hockey field; 12 all-weather tennis
courts, lighted for night play; the Turkey Hughes Baseball Field; two
fully equipped football practice fields and Eastern's 20,000-seat

then Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson. Technical aspects of the
col iseum include a laminated cross-arched roof - the world's largest
of its kind - spanning 309 feet and providing an unobstructed view of
the variety of events which are held in the main auditorium. A total of
626,276 board feet of lumber form the 170 beams, and the roof, which
arches gracefully 81 feet above the floor level, is southern pine finished
in its natural beauty.

team for the 1982-83 season.
Returnees include three twin-digit scorers, Jimmy Stepp and Jim
Chambers at 12.2 points each and 6-2 junior guard Frank Baines at
10.8 points per game. Stepp, a 6-2 senior guard, hit 48.5 percent from
the field, a team-leading 82.9 percent from the free throw line and led
the team in assists with 70. Chambers, a 6-9 senior center, led EKU in
field goal percentage (.541) and rebounding (7.7 per game).
Other starters returning are 6-7 All -Ohio Valley Conference freshmen team choice last year, Fred Emerson (6.3), and the only player to
appear in all 26 games, 25 of t hose as a starter, Kenny Wi lson (6.2), a 64 sophomore forward. Emerson and Wilson also ranked 2-3 in
rebounding stats on the '81-'82 Colonels with 5.9 and 4.6 averages,
respectively.
Bruce Mitchell, a 6-5 sophomore guard, leads the other returning
players with his 6.2 per game scoring mark. Rounding out the returnees are 6-2 junior guard Ervin Stepp (3.0), 6-4 senior forward B illy

play, the Colonels showed marked improvement during the last part of
the schedule. In three of those six losses, Eastern was leading within
the last eight minutes of the game before bowing to their opponents.
"We definitely were playing our best basketball of the year during
the last three weeks of the season," said Good. "We' re hoping to be an
improved team in 1982-83."
The Colonels finished in a tie for eighth place in the fina l OVC
standings with Akron w ith a 3-13 league record. Overall, EKU

WOMEN'S
BASKETBALL
DR. DIANNE MURPHY, Head Coach
A motivator and an organizer. That's Dr. Dianne Murphy, Eastern
Kentucky's ded icated women's basketball coach. In just three
seasons, Dr. Murphy has directed the women's basketball program
back into respectability. The 1980-81 season saw Eastern complete
their first winning season in six years as the team finished 16-15 and
led the nation in free throw shooting. The 1981-82 season saw the
Colonels win the KWIC state championship and partic ipate in the final
four AIAW Regional Tournament at East Tennessee State University.
A native of Cookeville, Tennessee, Dr. Murphy played college
basketball at Tennessee Tech, earned her B.S. and M.A. degrees there
and has completed her doctoral dissertation for a Ph.D. degree in
Physical Education from The Florida State University. Dr. Murphy has
had success in establishing respected, winning basketball traditions.
In her three years at Shorter College, she coached the Hawkettes to
7-11, 20-8, and 13-11 seasons. From 1976-79 she was at the helm of
The Florida State Lady Seminoles basketball program and turned the
program around with excellent recruiting and coaching. Her first year
team finished 11-12 while the 1977-78 team completed a 19-15 record
and a second place finish in the FAIAW state title with eleven freshmen
and earned their third straight trip to the regional tournament.
Dr. Murphy has chaired numerous basketball committees on the
state, regional, and national levels. She has been elected to Who's Who
in American Women, and for the 1980-81 season was selected by her
colleagues as Co-Coach of the Year of the Ohio Valley Conference.
She is frequent guest speaker at banquets and clinics, and is the
director of the Eastern Kentucky Girls' Basketball Camp. Dr. Murphy
has also conducted several coaching workshops and has published
numerous articles on basketball.
"Our philosophy of basketball at Eastern Kentucky goes beyond
looking at basketball as just a game. It's a way for a young woman to
make a statement about who she is . The players, the way they react
and respond, give me an opportunity to make a statement about who I
am. I am a demanding person. I am demanding of myself, our coaching
staff and our players. I consider myself a very dedicated and intense
person. I demand total commitment and believe our players at EKU will
respond to that challenge. I believe they appreciate and respect our
philosophy because they are challenged and rewarded for doing their
best," Murphy said.

�NELL HENSLEY, Assistant Coach
Nell Hensley is the perfect assistant coach. She can scout, recruit,
conduct practices, promote the program and guide the team in game
action . Suffice it to say she is head coach Dianne Murphy's right hand
person . Nell begins her third year as full-time assistant coach at
Eastern Kentucky. She served as graduate assistant under Dr. Murphy
in 1979-80 before being named full-time assistant in 1980.
Hensley was a 1975 grad uate of Liberty High School in Bedford,
Va., where she participated in four interscholastic sports. She later was
a four-year letter winner for Radford University and served as cocaptain of her basketball team for one year. She graduated with honors
from Radford University in 1979 and received a B.S. degree in Health
and Physical Education. She earned her Master's degree from EKU in
1980.
According to Dr. Murphy, " Nell has been a tremendous asset to
our basketball program as she has proven herself as a very loyal and
capable individual. She is extremely dedicated and has the ability to
communicate our coaching philosophy to our players. I consider Nell
one of the best assistant coaches in the country. She has the
personality, intelligence, and attitude to be a successful head coach
one day."

�1982-83 WOMEN'S BASKETBALL PROSPECTUS
Beginning their fourth year coaching together at Eastern, Dr.
Dianne Murphy and Nell Hensley renew their excitement about
Eastern's women's basketbal I with the introduction of the 1982-83
Colonels. Since coming to Eastern in 1978-79, Coaches Murphy and
Hensley have established a winning tradition and rerouted the <;ourse
of women's basketball at EKU . From the team they inherited in 197879, which had a record of 5-24, they built teams which in 1981 were
national leaders in free throw percentage, finished third in the
Kentucky Women's lntercolleqiate Conference, and in 1982 won the
KWIC State Championship and participated in the AIAW Regional
Tournament. Quite an accomplishment in just three short years.
Eastern lost two outstanding players in Sandra Mukes and
Chancellor Dugan via graduation, and returns eight players from last
year's squad plus a talented freshman crop that includes5'11 " Loretta
Pate, an All-State player from Deland, Florida; Margy Shelton, an AllState player from Corbin Hig h School; Tina Cottle, a 6'2" Jun ior
College All-American from Miami, (Fla.) Dade South Community
College; and Laura Seay, 5'10" All-State player from Marshall County
High School.
"All three of our freshman recruits will add depth to our team
immediately," says Murphy. "We are counting on them to make a
significant contribution to our team success th is season."
"Cottle will be redshirted for the 1982-83 season and we have great
expectations for her when she becomes eligible in 1983-84," Murphy
continued.
"All eight returning players are great competitors and players.
Experience-wise, we can depend on them for leadership and court
maturity," Murphy said.
The posts will be led by 6'1" sophomore Shannon Brady whose
play will be vital to the team's success. The forward positions are
hiqhly compet itive as5'10" sophomore Viv Bohon and 5'9" senior Tina
Wermuth will be vying for starting positions. Wermuth, an AII-OVC
player as a freshman and sophomore was the third-leading scorer as
she averaged 12.7 points per game and 7 .6 rebounds. Marcia Haney is
a much stronger player after an excellent summer program and wil l be
expected to contribute more offensively to the team this year. Velma
Jordan will be expected to add much more rebounding strength and
be counted on to add depth at the post position.
The backcourt positions again will be up for grabs between
talented players, Karen Evans, Freda Hagan, and Lisa Goodin. Evans
will im press the spectators with her quickness and defense, while
Hagan's brilliant passing ability should result in numerous scoring
opportunities for Evans and Good in. Lisa Goodin not only led the
conference from the free throw line at 85%, but led the team in scoring
at 15.5 points per game and in assists at 112.
54
�Rounding out the 1982-83 team is a talented walk-on - Dana
Taylor, 5'10" post from Glasgow, who reported this fa ll w ith a super
attitude.
Spectators will again view a quick, aggressive basketball team
which should be very exciting to watch. " Basically, we w il l be much
stronger at the power-forward position this season and I look for us to
have a much improved team overall. Our weaknesses are again our
lack of size inside and inexperience, as we graduated two outstanding
players who will be difficult to replace. Our strengths are in our
superior condition, desire and our defensive philosophy. Our biggest
objectives will be to play more consistently and improve offensively
and defensively from game to game, " Murphy concluded.

OHIO VALLEY CONFERENCE
In 1941 , the " Big Five" of the K.I.A.C. withdrew to form the Ohio
Valley 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, shortly thereafter, by Tennessee Tech and Marshall College.
Purpose of the O.V.C., as set forth in its constitution, is "to regulate,
control and promote all t he 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.
University of Akron's Z ips became the eighth member of the Ohio
Valley Conference on July 1, 1978, and Youngstown State University was
added a year later.
Eastern also competes against other OVC schools in a regular
season schedule in basketball and tournaments in tennis and volleyball.
C hampionships are held also in cross country and track.
The Colonels rank second in the c onference's all-time standings
with a 208-183 won-lost reco rd and a .532 winning perc entage. The
Colonels have won four regular season titles outright (in '53, '59, '65, and
'79) .
James Delany, a 34-year-old former NCAA invest igator, is serving
his fourth y ear as c ommissioner of the Ohio Valley Conference. The
Succasunna, NJ , native is a 1970 graduate of the University of North
Carolina.

located immed iately in front of t he arena. In addition, a new 404-car
parking area just north of Hanger Football Field is within conven ient

co ntains four basketball courts in an auxiliary gymnasium o n the east
end; eight classrooms; twenty offices; both indoor and outdoor
swimming pools, shower and locker rooms; a projecti on room, and
many other multi-purpose faci lit ies.
The main arena seats 6,500 for basketball games and approximately 8,000 fo r other programs. Ultimate seati ng capacity for basketball will be 10,000 and for other programs, about 12,000. A hydraul icoperated stage is located at t he east end of the arena.
The parki ng area also serves as a march ing f ield for the
university's band, t he Marching Maroons and the R.O.T.C. un it, as well
as a recreati on and physical education area.
The compact sports center also incl udes a new ni ne-lane allweather grasstex track; a women's hoc key fie ld; 12 all-weather tennis

DR. DIANNE MURPHY, Head Coach
When Shorter College in Rome, Georgia began a women's intercollegiate athletic program, the college hired a young inexperienced
coach who played 3 years of intercollegiate basketball at Tennessee
Tech and had served one year as an assistant coach under her college
coach Marynell Meadors at Tennessee Tech .
A native of Cookeville, Tenn., Dr. Dianne Murphy p layed high
school basketball at Putnam County Senior High, earned her S.S. and
M.A. degrees in physical education at Tennessee Tech and has
completed her doctoral dissertation for a Ph.D. degree in physical
education from Florida State University.
The 29-year old coach has had super success in building
respected, winning basketball traditions. In her three seasons at
Shorter College where she started the women's basketball program
from scratch she coached the Hawkettes to 7-1 1, 20-8, and 13-11
seasons. From 1976-79 she was at the helm of the Florida State Lady
Seminoles basketball program and turned the basketball program
around in a very short time. Her first year the team finished 11-12 while
only after one year of recruiting the 1977-78 season finished at 19-15
and a second place fin ish in the FAIAW State Tournament. The 197879 edition of the Lady Seminoles recorded a 19-14 worksheet and
captured the FAIAW state title and earned their third straight trip to the
regional tournament.
Murphy has headed up or been a member of various basket ball
committees on the state, regional and national levels. She has been the
Region Ill Large College Basketball Chairperson and has served on
the committee to select the winner of the prestigious Wade trophy. She
has also published numerous articles and worked in numerous
basketball camps in the Southeast.
"Our philosophy of basketball at Eastern Kentucky University
44
�goes beyond looking at basketball as just a game. It's a medium for a
young woman to make a statement about who she is. The players, the
way they react and respond, give me an opportunity to make a
statement about who I am. I am a demanding person. I am demanding
of myself, my coaching staff, and my players. I consider myself a very
dedicated and intense person. I demand total commitment and believe
our players at EKU will respond to that challenge. I believe they
appreciate and respect my phi losophy because they are challenged
and rewarded for doing their best," Dr. Murphy said.
Dr. Murphy believes the factor in all her teams has been conditioning. "The success in playing to the ability to move and get up and
down the court and from that comes our fast break philosophy. In the
past my teams have run because we were capable of it. Several teams
that we competed against were not. Therefore, it was to our advantage
to execute well offensively and force turnovers by playing pressure
defense which enabled us to capitalize on our strongest asset - our
running game. The type of players we have this year at Eastern will
dictate what type of team we will be. Our running game will be adjusted
according to our personnel and we will play intense pressure defense.
It should be an interesting basketball season , and if hard work and
dedication is any indication of success, we will prove to be a very
successful team."
NELL HENSLEY, Assistant Coach
Nell Hensley, 23, is now in her first year as full time women's
assistant basketball coach. Last year, Hensley served as graduate
assistant for the Colonel basketball team.
A graduate of Radford Univers ity where she played intercollegiate basketball for four years, she will be in charge of the pre-season
conditioning program and the individual player improvement
program . Coach Hensley's other responsibilities include: recruiting,
scouting and public relations.
According to Dr. Murphy, " Nell has been a tremendous asset to
our women's basketball program at Eastern Kentucky. She has proven
herself as a very loyal and dedicated individual, who possesses
excellent knowledge of the game and the abi lity to communicate our
coaching philosophy to our players. As a result of the excell ent contribution she made to our program last year, she has been given
additional responsibilities within our organizational structure."

�1980-81 BASKETBALL PROSPECTUS
When Eastern's second-year head basketball coach, Dr. Dianne
Murphy, unveils the 1980-81 version of the Colonel basketball squad,
spectators will note an extremely quicker, faster, and more aggressive
basketball team , the result of a combination of excellent freshman
recruits and talented experienced players.
Last season Dr. Murphy was hired right before school started in
August which left no time for recruiting her type player, and the
coaching staff was faced with rebuilding a basketball program which
had been 5-24 the previous year. However, the coaching staff and the
returning players along with several talented walk-ons and one super
recruit saw the 1979-80 record improve itself to 9-19 and capture the
James Madison Invitational Tournament.
This season starting positions will be extremely competitive and
some of the returning players may find themselves pushed for starting
positions by a talented group of freshmen. Dr. Murphy and Assistant
Coach Nell Hensley have assembled a highly talented group of
freshmen which is the strongest recruiting effort in Eastern Kentucky
women's basketball history by signing four of Kentucky's top high
school stars and one of Indiana's best.
However, the key to Eastern Kentucky's success this year
depends on the character and the determination of the team and their
response to the tragic injury of All State player, Jackie Bearden, from
Dixie Heights, and the untimely departure of All State player, Sharon
Combs from Knott County Central.
Eastern Kentucky lost three players via graduation, including
leading scorer Loretta Coughlin, along with Rita Taylor and Sue
Carroll. Returning to the post position is senior Sandy Grieb who
averaged 8.9 points and 5.6 rebounds per game. Another top returning
post player is Chance Dugan who averaged 6.6 points per game along
with 5.0 rebounds. Rounding out the post position is walk-on , Dana
Taylor who will be counted on for additional depth at the post position.
The forwards will be led by 5'9" sophomore, Tina Wermuth, 5'10"
junior, Sandra Mukes, and 5'9" sophomore, Diane Johnson whose
combined front line talent, quickness, and experience will be vital to
the squad's success. Wermuth, an All OVC player as a freshman, was
the second leading scorer as she averaged 9.4 points per game and 6.6
rebounds. Mukes led the team in rebounding last year by pulling down
7.8 rebounds per game and is expected to be much improved after an
excellent spring practice. Johnson, a super jumper and excellent
penetrator, will also provide additional quickness in the frontline.
Sandy Kinkton, a 5'11" All Stater from Mercy Academy in Louisville,
will also provide excellent passing ability and rebounding from the
power forward position.
The backcourt positions are up for grabs between super talented
players, Karen Evans, Freda Hagan, Lisa Goodin, Marsha Charles and
Suzanne Revack. Hagan should impress spectators with her brill iant
passing ability that should result in numerous scoring opportunities
47
�for super shooter, Goodin, All Stater from Austin, Ind. Super ballhandler, Evans from Corbin and All Stater Charles from Pikeville,
round out the guards possessing super quickness and excellent
defensive play.
Rounding out the 1980-81 squad include experienced players
Joan Gotti who saw considerable action as a sophomore; and Karen
Richardson, a pleasant surprise as a walk-on from Lou isville.
"Our biggest asset this year is our unbelieveable quickness and
our desire to play. We have accomplished an extensive amount of work
during our pre-season conditioning program. The attitude of our
players has been phenomenal and it will be an interesting year as we
will obviously have to regroup after Jackie's unfortunate injury and
Sharon's departure from school. Both of those players were probable
starters as freshmen, but we are counting on our other players to
respond to the challenges before them.
"Basically we will be the kind of basketball team that I am
accustomed to producing on the court. We will play intense player to
player defense and fast break quite extens ively . Our weaknesses are
our lack of height and size inside and our inexperience, as we are still a
very young ball club. Our younger players are going to have to
contribute early in the year ifwe are going to have a successful season .
"Our biggest objective this year will be to again improve our
record and continue to work on instilling with in our players a winning
attitude and confidence within themselves as individuals and as a
team. All in all it should prove to be a very enjoyable and challenging
season," Murphy said.

�PROSPECTUS
,.
The 1981 Men's Gymnastics Squad should be the best team ever
to represent Eastern Kentucky University. With seven returning
lettermen and a strong freshman class, the team will be much
improved this year. The Colonels, however, will still be somewhat
lacking in depth.
The team will be able to draw on the experience and leadership of
tri-captains George Gardner, David Cole, and Dave Smith - all of
whom should turn in solid performances this year. With the help of
sophomores Craig Struening and Jon Gaertner and junior Dan
McDaniel this team shapes up as the most experienced squad since
1977. Considering the other returning team members and the
incom ing freshmen, Coach Calkin expects a great if not a "super"
season.

TOP RETURNING PLAYERS & HIGHLIGHTS
OF THEIR COLLEGIATE CAREERS
George Gardner (Tri-Capt.) - Going into hissenioryear, George,
is a strong contender for one of the all-around slots. He should provide
strength for the team, in vaulting, P-bars, H-bar, and especially rings.
David Cole (Tri-Capt.) - Dave should "bounce back" after a
junior year where he saw only limited action because of a pre-season
injury. He should be strong on P-bars, and H-bar. He will, however,
provide the most help for the team in the pommel horse event.
Dave Smith (Tri-Capt.) - Smitty, after great freshman, and
sophomore years, should also be a contender for an all-around slot.
He will be strong in P-bars, H-bars and especially rings.
Craig Struenlng - Craig had a great freshman season last year.
68
�He set three new individual team scoring records: 9.20 on fx, 9.0 on
rings, and 9.7 o n vaulting. As a sophomore Craig should again be the
number one all-around man on the team and can expect to write his
name in the record book a few more times.

SWIMMING PROSPECTUS
The loss of five top squad members to graduation has taken a
heavy toll on Coach Dan Lichty's Electrifying Eels. Those graduates
include Mark Mul li n, Ron S iggs, Mark Sullivan and school record
holders Chip Davis and Brad Burch. The addition of Steven Strong ,
freshman, should help to offset the loss; however, all will have to
develop considerably to fill the holes.
Lead ing the Eels into the 1980-81 seaso n will be Chris Gray,
school record holder in the 500, 1000, and 1650 freestyle events, and
two transfer students, Brian Conroy and Louis Fister. " We are a young
team and we are going to have to count on some of our people to
develop quickly," commented Lichty. Seniors Scott Barber, Kevin
Curren, Bret Yoder, and Gray are being counted on heavily by Coach
72
�L ichty to carry much of t he load .
D an Lichty is enteri ng his sixth year as head coach of the Eels.
Dan and his w ife, Barbara, have two swimmers and d ivers of their own:
Den ise (15) and Brent (13) .
T im Cah ill return s fo r his second year as assistant coach. He and
his w ife, Judy, have o ne son, Joshua (2) .

MEN'S INDOOR TENNIS PROSPECTUS
"Our OVC opponents are in for a surprise," says head coach Tom
Higgins concerning the 1981 tennis season.
" With the seven returning lettermen and the two recruits, we are
certainly out to better our mediocre 13-15 record and sixth-place fin ish
in the OVC," says Higgins, who begins his ninth year as Colonel head
mentor.
Seniors Don Briscoe and Kurt Heuermann will provide leadership
for the 1981 Colonels. Sophomore David Ghanayem will be a strong
candidate for the number one position, while "The Model Connection"
- Chuck Gibson, Jamie Harris, John Rowlett and Butch Young, all
graduates of Model High School-will help fill out the starting lineup.
Todd Clements and Todd Wise are two prize recruits who will join
the squad for 1981 . Clements and Wise won their respective state high
school championships in Kentucky and Maryland.

Don Briscoe - member of the 1980 number two doubles team
which finished 15-14. " Donnie should be contending for a sing les
position for the 1981 season," according to coach Higgins.
Kurt Heuermann - features a unique style of doubles play. " Kurt
will be expected to provide much-needed leadersh ip for the 1981
campaign," Higgins comments.
David Ghanayem - wi ll be the Colonels' top returning singles
player in 1981. David, with a 17-14 record in 1980 at number three,

Hopes for a successful campaign rest mainly on the m idd le

All-American Ken Glover who was third in the N.C.A.A. Div. I high
jump. He led E.K .U. to 30th place team finish. He had the fourth highest
jump in U.S. last season, 7'4¼", and also placed in the Olympic trials in
Eugene, Oregon. Bill Morgan returns in middle distance and the team
will be bolstered by no less than ten Jr. college All-Americans. The
tea m will be very weak in field events but should be strong in the relay
events.

�CONFERENCE AFFILIATIONS
Jim Delany
OHIO VALLEY CONFERENCE
In 1941 , the " Big Five" of the K.I.A.C. withdrew to form the Ohio
Valley Conference.
Making the move were Western Kentucky State College, Eastern
Kentucky State College, Murray State Coll ege, Morehead State
College and the University of Lou isville. They were joined by
Evansville College and, shortly thereafter, by Tennessee Tech and
Marshall College.
Purpose of the O.V.C., as set forth in its co nstitution, 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
Ten nessee State College joined the rolls in 1952, East Tennessee State
University in 1957 and Austin Peay State College in the spring of 1962.
They rep laced Louisville, which became an independent in 1949, and
Marshall and Evansville, which departed in 1952.
University of Akron's Zips became the eighth member of the Ohio
Valley Conference on July 1, 1978, and Youngstown State University
was added a year later.
Eastern's women's teams are members of the 19-school Kentucky
Women's Intercollegiate Conference. KWIC is the official athletic
conference for all recogn ized women's collegiate programs in
Kentucky.
KWIC conducts state tournaments for college women in
basketball, field hockey, gymnastics, tennis, track and field and
volleyball and is the recognized affiliate of the national organization,
the Association of Intercolleg iate Athletics for Women (A IAW).
Eastern also competes against other OVC schools in a regular
season schedule in basketball, a post-season tournament in tennis
and a tournament in volleyball .
The Colonels rank second in the conference's all-time standings
with a 198-163 wo n-lost record and a .548 winning percentage. The
Colonels have won four regular season titles outright (in '53, '59 '65
and '79) .
James Delany, a 32-year-old former NCAA investigator, is serving
his second year as commissioner of the Ohio Valley Conference. The
Succasunna, NJ, native is a 1970 graduate of the University of North
Carolina.

�EASTERN KENTUCKY UNIVERSITY
Growth - in quantity and q uality - has been the theme at Eastern
Kentucky University. The quantity speaks for itself. With an enrollment of
nearly 14,000 students, the University's student body has more than tripled
since 1960. As a result, new dormitories and large, well-equipped academic
structures have been built.
Dr. J.C. Powell will be completing his fourth year as president of the
University in October. Powell, the school's seventh president, succeeded Dr.
Robert R. Martin who served EK U in that position for 16¼ years.
At a 1978 Board of Regents meeting, Eastern was reorga nized into nine
colleges and a graduate school. Five colleges - Applied Arts and
Technology, Business, Education, Law Enforcement and Allied Health and
ursing - remained intact.
Four new colleges were created, including Natu ral and Mathematical
Sciences, Social and Behaviorial Sciences, Arts and Humanities and Health,
Physical Education, Recreation and Athletics.
The masters degree is offered in several fields as is the specialist degree. A
joint doctoral program in education is sponsored in cooperation with the
University of Kentucky.
The physical plant has undergone building and renovation programs
totaling more than $ 125 million since 1960. During this period every existing
major campus facility has been remodeled or completely reconstructed.

�1979-80 BASKETBALL PROSPECTUS
Eastern head basketball coach Ed Byhre returns three starters and five
lettermen from last year's Ohio Valley Conference regular season and
tournament champion team.
Topping the returnees is 6-4 senior forward James "Turk" Tillman, the
leading returning scorer in the nation for the upcoming 1979-80 season with
his 26.9 per game average.
Tillman, voted as the Most Valuable Player in the Ohio Valley
Conference this past season, was also a selection on the United States
Basketball Writers District 3-A All-American team.
In addition to leading the OVC and the Colonels in scoring, Tillman also
was Eastern's leading shooter from the field (309-591, .523) and top
rebo1:1nder (6.5 average). Tillman collected 11 games where he scored 30 or
more points.
The other two starters coming back are juniors Bruce Jones and Dale
Jenkins. Jones, a 6-0 All-OVC playmaking guard, was the catalyst in the
Eastern offense, breaking the school and conference regular season marks for
assists with 243. He was also able to score 13.7 points per game.
Jenkins started all but two of Eastern's games last season at center. The
6-8 leaper was the Colonels' leading rebounder through much of the season,
before tapering off to a 6.0 boar~ average. He also poured through 6.1 points
per game.
Another top returnee includes 6-3 senior guard Dave Tierney who will be
noted through out the remainder of his collegiate career as the player who
propelled Eastern into the N C AA playoffs with two free throws to beat
Western with time expired. Tierney scored 5.0 points per game on the season.
Rounding out the returning lettermen for the Colonels is 6-8 senior
center Dave Bootcheck. Beset by injuries all season long, Bootcheck, an AllOVC choice as a freshma n, a veraged 6. 8 points and 5.4 rebounds per game.
Other squad members coming back are D onnie Moore, a 6-2 junior
guard who missed most of the year with a broken hand and averaged 4.9
po ints and David Jenkins, a 6-6 junior forward who scored 2.4 points per
game.
Newcomers to the squad for the 1979-80 season include three high school
recruits and three transfers.
New freshmen include Terry Bradley, 6-6½ Chicago, Ill. , forward ; Steve
Robinson, 6-5 ½ forward, Chicago; and Buddy Cox, 6-7 forward from
Louisville.
Transfers for next season will be Tommy Baker, a 6-2junior guard from
Jeffersonville, Inc. (Indiana University); Jim Harkins, a 6-4 j unior forward
from Ashland (Miami University); and Anthony Conner, a 6-9 junior center
from Avon Park, Fla. (Ma natee Junior College). Since Baker and Harkins
transferred to EK U at mid-year, they will not become eligible until after Dec.
14.
Eastern finished last season with a 21-8 record, the most wins an Eastern
team has achieved in a single season in 32 years. EK U won the regular season
OVC crown with a 9-3 record.

�EKU'S TILLMAN CHOSEN
OVC ATHLETE OF THE YEAR
"Turk" Tillman, outstanding forward on the Eastern Colonels'
basketball team, was selected as the 1978-79 Ohio Valley Conference Athlete
of the Year.
Tillman, who is a senior at EK U this season, was the OVC's Basketball
Player of the Year while leading the Colonels to the regular season confere nce
title, the post seaso n tourney champio nship and a berth in the NCAA
Tournament.
A District 3A All-American pick by the United States Basketball Writers
Association this past year, Tillman, a native of Washington, D.C. , was one of
15 nominees for this year's honor and the top vote-getter of the ten athletes
who received votes.
"I thought Turk was the class player of the league this past year," said
EK U Director of Athletics Donald Combs. "We are extremely happy for him
and he is certa inly honored to be picked among so many other fine athletes
who were nominated."
Tillman led the league and finis hed fourth among NCAA Division I
scorers with his 26. 9 per game average. Since the top three scorers all
graduated, Tillman will be the top returning scorer in the nation this year.
"First and, perhaps most importantly, this was quite an honor for our
university and reflects well on our school and our basketball program," said
EK U head basketball coach Ed Byhre. "And, secondly, this was, of course, a
great individual honor for Turk."
While breaking every single season individ ua l school scoring record last
year in helping the Colonels post a 21 -8 record, Tillman totaled 11 games
where he scored 30 or more po ints and just five contests where he was held to
less than 20 points.
Tillman is the fourth athlete honored by the OVC wit h this award since
its inception in 1977. Tony Staynings of Western Kentucky wo n the award fo r
the 1977-78 year and Ray Flynn of East Tennessee tied with Rodney Moore of
Tennessee Tech last year. All three of these previous winners were track men.

evidenced by the fact that all have participated in NCAA and NIT play-offs,
with Butler and Loyola having been natio nal champions, Xavier NIT
champion, and Evansville Division II na tional champions five times.
Again the 'Dogs face a challenging sched ule, meeting such foes as NCAA
contenders DePaul, Indiana State, Toledo and Eastern Kentucky, and NIT
participants Dayton and Purdue.
Five lettermen return to the squad, including 7' center Mike Miller and
last season's second leading scorer, forward Garv Raker. Another senior
fo rward, J oe Maloney, is ready to go to the boards after suffering a broken
nose in last year's o pener with Ohio State and finishing the season with a
broken jaw. Junior forwards Steve H utson and Frank T homas add depth to
the bench.

Guard
It should become o bvious early in the 1979-80 seaso n that UNC
Charlotte will be a faster, better shooting, rebound ing a nd defensive bas ketball team than last year's 16- 11 squad that finished tied for second in the
regula r season Sun Belt Co nference (S BC) race.
T he 49ers were somewhat deficient in the shooting accuracy (47.8) and
rebo und ing (33.9) departments in '78-79, although defense was the team's
g reatest strength (as evidenced by a league leading 65.2 points yielded per
game). Those deficiencies caused then first-year head coach Mike Pratt to go
with a controlled, deliberate style offense with little fast- break o ppo rtun ities.
But the return of seven lettermen, including fo ur starters, to go a long
with six highly ta lented newcomers should go a long way towards amendi ng
last year's shortco mings. In fact, second-year coach Pratt saw to that by
proba bly bringing in the best class of recruits in the 15-year hist ory of
UNC C's basketball program. A nd it couldn't have come at a more o ppo rtune
time as U NCC faces its most formida ble schedule in history, including the
possibility of playing eight teams that we re in the NCAA To urna ment last
season.

scorers, junior forwards Mike Drews and George Bradley, plus a third starter,
guard Dwayne Irvin - the lone senior on the 1979-80 roster - as Ball State
University's basketball team attempts to stay in the first division of the MidAmerican Conference and put together back-to-school winning seasons for
the first time in 16 campaigns.
The Cardinals claimed fourth place in the MAC standings last winter
with a 9-7 league ledger, marking their highest finish in four seasons of MidAm competition. Overall, Ball State enjoyed its best won-loss record since
I 963-64 with a 16-11 effort.
Among the five 1978-79 lettermen that will not be back this season
include a pair of four-year regulars, Randy Boarden and Jim Hahn. Boarden,
a 6-9 center, finished third in career scoring with 1,290 points and second in
career rebounding with 1,000 boards at BS U, while Hahn set university marks
with 170 assists last year and 573 during his career pl us tallied 966 points to

Prospectus
The Dayton Flyers should continue thei r winning ways in the 1979-80
basketball campaign and perhaps in a very big fashio n. The Flyers finished
the past two seasons with identical records 19-1 0 and two trips to the NIT.
There is no reason to think that there will be a letdown coming although
for the first time in four years Dayton will start a season without AllAmerican guard Jim Paxson. Replacing "Pax" a nd his 23 ppg average doesn't
seem likely, at least in the early going, but the optimism stems from the return
of four (4) starters from last yea r as well as four other lettermen who saw
plenty of action.
In addition to the loss of Paxson, the Flyers lose only two reserve guards,
Doug Harris and Mike Lee, along with sophomore transfer Willie Johnson,
so it would appear that the bright outlook for the Dayton Flyers is justified.

S uccess for the 1979-80 Golden Eagle basketball squad rests upon o ne
major facto r: co nsistency. Consistent play has eluded the Mo rris Harvey
University of Charleston team during the past t wo seasons, making it one of
the most unpred icta ble quintets in the West Virginia Confe rence. Two years
ago, t he Golden Eagles posted wins over powers like Pitt and Marshall on
winter road trips, yet o nly managed a fo urth-place fi n ish in WVI AC
tournament play at the end of the yea r.
In 1978, the MH/ UC team again claimed astound ing victo ries, t his time
over Marshall and Fairmont, and fough t all the way to the fina ls of the season
finale u psetting conference champion a nd favo rite W. Va. Wesleyan al ong the
way. But still, the team ended the season with a 14- 17 reco rd. Obviously, the
potential fo r championships and championshi p teams is here in Charleston, a
bit of co nsistancy added to the tale nt of this year's team could begi n to mold
such speculation into reality.
\-Vith the exception of nine returning lettermen. eve rything in the Golden
Eagle basketball program is new this seaso n. T he school itself has adopted a
new name. A new head coach and a new assistant coac h will assume the reig ns
of the 1979-80 UC sq uad . In add itio n, seven new players wi ll don maroon a nd

Wit h suitcases packed, t he UNC-Wilmingto n Seahawks embark on the
1979-80 season seeking to reach the 20-win mark t hat has eluded them by the
thinnest of margins t he past two years.
T hree starters return from last year's 19-8 cl ub - t he school's second
straight I9-victory season. Four of 78-79's top five scorers and fo ur of last
season's top six re bo u nders are a lso back. Facing t he Seahawks, however, is a
29-game schedule that lists 17 ga mes on the road with trips to IO different
states, including Alaska and Maine. Only a dozen contests will be played at
home a nd half of those are in February.
Lead ing the retu rnees is 6'6 senior Ga rry Cooper ( 13.8 ppg, 7. 1 reb.).
Cooper, who has blocked more than JOO shots in his three previous years,
missed much of last season's stretch drive wit h a broken foot, but should be
back in full stride. The man who replaced Cooper last year, 6'7 junio r Danny
Davis, appears primed to make a name for himself this season. Davis' 8. I
scori ng a nd 5. 7 rebounding averages are deceiving; he totaled better than 12
points a nd ni ne boards per outing in last yea r's final 12 contests.

Prospectus
Head coach M. K. Turk is confident that the 1979-80 edition of the
Golden Eagles will be the best in his four seasons at USM. The reason fo r
Turk's confidence is the fact that there are four starters back among six
returning lettermen and because the veteran coach believes his successful
recruiting campaign has provided much needed strength in the middle.
The returning starters are 6-1 senior Kenny Smith, 6-5 senior Greg
Lackey, 6-5 so phomore Joe Dawson and 6-6 sophomore Willie Robinson.
Smith, a fou r-year starter, was the team's second leading scorer last winter
averaging 16 points per game a nd the team leader in assists with 136. Lackey
averaged 9.5 points, Dawson 12.7 and Robinson 8.8. Dawson was also the
team's leading rebounder with 10.0 caroms per game. Both Dawson and
Robinson started as freshmen last season.

Tho mpson's announcement took everyone by surprise, since he had just
finished a rebui lding year. The overall record was only 8-1 8. but with o nly one
ret urning letterman that was still better than many Gov fans expected.
For leadership next year. Bargatze must first look to the senior forward
Curtis Webster (6-5, 195), junio r forwa rd Tim Thomas (6-4, 185) and
sophomore gua rd Cere Myrick (5- 1 I, I70). Webster averaged 10.8 points and

as the best in the nation among mid-major schools and Greene feels the influx
of new talent should guarantee improvement
One bright spot is Kenney Hammonds, a 6-5 guard-fo rward who
averaged 19 points in conference action and was the only res hman selected to
the All-Ohio Valley Conference first team. Also, the Racer staff lured 5- 10

Prospectus
On paper it appears that Head Coach Ken Cunningham will have his
most talented team since taking over the helm of Akron U's basketball program in April, 1976. However, Cunningham's optimism is tempered somewhat due to what he refers to as "the strongest, most challenging schedule
in the University's basketball history."
Cunningham's fear is well founded - 17 of the 24 games are with NCAA
D ivision I opponents. Included among those 17 foes are home encounters
with seven members of the prestigious Ohio Valley Conference, which UA has
joined.
Cunningham will be greeting eight lettermen, four returning starters a nd
six talented newcomers. The four returning starters are 6-6 center J oel Price,
6-6 forward Zane Giles and guards Marty Wise (6-3) and Rich J ohnson (511). All but Johnson, a senior, are juniors.
Price, is UA's top returning scorer and rebounder. The two-year starter
averaged 14.8 points and 9.8 rebounds. Giles had a 9. 1 scoring average in
1978-79. Other returnees are seniors Tom Keehan (6-3) and Larry Smith (6-5)

Morehead State Eagle Basketball Coach Wayne Martin must decide
how to replace the leading scorer in MS U histo ry.
That's what faces Martin as he enters his second season as MSU floor

2,073 points. Also gone is the Eagles' sixth man in 6-3 forward-guard Brad
Le Master.
Fortunately for Martin, the rest of his 14- 13 squad is intact. With the
addition of three transfers and two recruits, prospects look good for the
coming year.
Leading the returnees are 6-7 senior Charlie Clay (13.6 points and 7.7
rebounds per game last year), a center who should move to forward where he
could repeat as an All-Ohio Valley Conference performer.

Hilltopper head coach Gene Kead y is looking fo rwa rd to the 1979-80
campaign with guarded o ptimism.
" We've got a lot of q uality young men back," he notes. "But we'll sure
miss the play of Greg Jackson ( 18.2 points and 8.8 rebounds) and , as before,
we still need that dominate big man."
Quality and qua ntity characterize the Hilltopper returnees for '79-80.
Ten of 14 lettermen are expected back in uniform in the fall, including four of
fi ve starters. In fact, nine of the 10 returning lettermen gained some
experience as a starter at one t ime or another last winter while \Vestern was
winning 17 of 28 games a nd establishing a reputation as one of the most
accurate field goal shooting outfits in the nation.
In the final analysis, the '78-79 Hilltopper squad ranked 17th in the
country in field goal shooting, setting Ohio Valley Conference and school
singles game and season records along the way. Heading the list of returnees
a re All-OVC guard Trey Trumbo and center Rick Wray, the top scorer back
from last year's team.

Pitt head basketball coach Tim Grgurich held his two index fingers
about four inches apart.
"We came that close," Grgurich whispered to a group of close friends
assembled in the -locker room to comfort him and his team after a tough,
tough loss.
The scene was this past March in the Pittsburgh Civic Arena, moments
after Pitt had lost a thrilling 61-57 game to Rutgers in the Eastern Athletic
Association's post season championship game. Rutgers had a hard-fought
win and an NCAA Tournament bid, the Pitt playe rs an 18- 11 finish and tears
in their eyes.
" I feel good about our ballclub," Grgurich emphasizes. "We will have
one senior (Sammie Ellis, Sr. , 6-7, 195 F) and four juniors (Sam Clancy, Jr.,
6-6, 235, F; Carlton Neverson, Jr., 6-5, 190, G; Ed Scheuermann, Jr., 6- 11 ,

Clancy, one of the top players in all of college basketball last year, has
seen his honor roll continue to grow, even in the off season. In early Spring,
Clancy was chosen as one of over 70 players to tryout for the U.S. Pan
American Team. In May, he was one of 12 players chosen to comprise the
team. He was on tour this Summer in Europe and other parts of the World
with the U.S. team in the Pan Am Games. After last season was completed,

Prospectus
Last season's 8-19 finish was the worst in over two decades for S.C. State;
however, the Bulldogs should return to respectability this season as I 0
lettermen, including all of last year's starters, return. A youthful Bulldog
squad which lost ten games by a margin of five points o r less a year ago, will be
very quick a nd more experienced.
S.C. State was hurt by its defensive play last season as opponents shot
over 51 percent against the Bulldogs. Meanwhile, Autry's squad was hitting
just under 46 percent, the lowest of any of his previous clubs.
The Bulldog backcourt of Lane and Robinson, who combined for almost
29 points last season, will be bolstered by the addition of newcomer Kirk
Collier of nearby Orangeburg-Wilkinson. Collier is a smooth playmaker and
can penetrate, opening up things inside for the S.C. State frontline of Snipe,
Wilson and 6-9 Dwayne Sudler, a surprise as a freshman. If Jim Wynn, a
starter in the first half of the season before hitting a slump, regains his form
and the play of Melvin, J ackson, Bryan, Gri-.:e and Edward Ravenel continues
to improve, Autry should have great depth .

�OHIO VALLEY CONFERENCE
CONFERENCE
AFFILIATIONS
In 1941 , foresighted men had visions of an Ohio Valley Conference.
Sportswriters speculated about the impending division of the Kentucky
Interco llegiate 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 Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and America was plunged into
World War II.
Seven years later, after the hostilities had ceased , a pre-war dream
became a post-war reality. The "Big F ive" of the K . I.A.C. withdrew to form
the Ohio Valley Conference.
Making the move were Western Kentucky State College, Ea~tern
Kentucky State College, Murray State College, Mo rehead State College and
the University of Louisville. They were joined by Evansville College and,
shortly 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
A us tin Peay State College in the spring of 1962. They replaced Louisville,
which became an independent in 1949, and Ma rshall and Evansville, which
departed in 1952. Akron was added to the conference last year, replacing East
Tennessee who joined the Southern Conference.
University of Akron's Zips became the eighth member of the Ohio Valley
Conference on July I , 1978.
Eastern's women's teams are members of the 19-school Kentucky
Women's Intercollegiate Conference. K WIC is the official athletic conference
for all recognized women's collegiate programs in Kentucky.
49
�K WIC conducts state tournaments for college women in basketball, field
hockey, gymnastics, tennis, track and field and volleyball and is the
recognized affiliate o f the national organization, the Association of
Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (A IA W).
Eastern also competes against other OVC schools in a regular season
schedule in basketball and a post-season tournament in tennis.
The Colonels rank second in the conference's all-time standin~ with a
19 1- 158 won-lost record and a .547 winning percentage. The Colonels have
won four regular season titles outright (in '53, '59, '65 a nd '79).
T he OVC has been presenting an all-sports trophy since the 1962-63
season. EK U won the trophy in 1965-66 and has finished in the top halfof th e
final standings several years.
OVC COMMISSIONER
James Delany, a 3 I-year-old former NCAA investigator, is serving his
first year as commissioner of the Ohio Valley Conference. He succeeded Bob
Vanatta on J uly I as the OYC's fourth commissioner after being among five
applicants considered for the post.
The Succasunna, New Jersey native becomes the youngest commissioner
to serve the conference. The other OVC commissioners prior to Vanatta were
Arthur Guepe a nd Paul Dietzel.
Delany is a 1970 graduate of the University of North Carolina where he
played basket ball for coach D ean Smith's Tar heels from I 967-70 and served
as co-captain on t he 1969-70 squad.
Following graduation Delany entered t he UNC Law Schol and served as
an assistan t coach under Smith. He received his law degree in 1973 before
joining the NCAA staff.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL PROSPECTUS
Coach Dianne Murphy's Eastern Kentucky University's women's
basketball team will have a new look this year. Not o nly is the coaching staff
new but the outlook a nd philosophy a re new, too. Eight players retu rn from
last year's squad which produced a 5-24 record. Forty-five players reported to
t he o rganizational meeting back in August which indicates the interest
ge nerated o n t he EK U campus this season. Here are Murp hy's feelings about
the upco ming seaso n:
74
�"Basically we will be a different type of club than I am accustomed to
producing on the court. Theoretically I like to play pressure defense and
attack the opponent's at their fundamental level ... make them play to their
best capabilities, and if they do, we have a very competitive contest. Usually I
like to execute the fast break quite extensively. However, this year our
philosophy will have to adjust more accordingly to our personnel. We will
run, but it will be more of a disciplined nature. We will take advantage of our
assets which at this point is our height and not our quickness. We will be more
of a structured, disciplined team but we will take advantage of the fast
opportunity. You can look for us to utilize a player-to-player defense with
some zones depe nding on our opponents.
"We will substitute quite freely but always with a purpose in mind. We
will be in top phys ical condition and well-disciplined. Sandra M ukes could be
a super player for us and will be relied on quite heavily for so me offense.
Inside we should be strong with Chance Dugan, Sandy Grieb and Sue
Carroll. The forward position looks promising with transfers Mary Johnso n,
and Kathy Redling. Also at the forward position are returning players
Vicki Voix and Joan Gotti. I am extremely concerned about our guard
positions. We need desperately a ball-handling guard. Hopefully, seniors
Rita Taylor o r Loretta Coughlin can come through. Our recruiting efforts
will be geared toward finding a blue-chip guard. Freshman Regina Hipsher
and Diane Johnson could solve some problems if they can make a quick
t_ransition from high school to college basketball.
"It will be a very interesting year. We will spend countless hours trying to
improve upon last season's record. The attitude of the girls has been
phenomenal. They are very dedicated and committed to turning this program
around. This basketball team and the coaching staff have a lot to prove and I
believe we will meet those challenges."

�DIANNE MURPHY
Head Coach
Dianne Murphy will start her first year this 1979-80 season ~ Eastern's
head women's basketball coach.
When Shorter College in Rome, Georgia began a women's
intercollegiate program, the college hired a young, inexperienced coach who
played three years of intercollegiate basketball at Tennessee Tec h and had
served one year as an assistant coach under her Marynell Meadors a t
Tennessee Tech.
A native of Cookeville, Tenn., Murphy played high school basketball at
Putnam County Senior High, earned her B.S. and M.S. degrees in physical
education at Tennessee Tech and is currently completing her doctoral
d issertation for a Ph.D. degree in physical education from Florida State
University.
The 28-year old coach has had success in building respected, winning
basketball traditions. In her three seasons at Shorter College where she
started the women's basketball program from scratch, she coached the
Hawkettes to 7-11, 20-8, and 13-1 1 seasons. From 1976-79 she was at the helm
of the Florida State Lady Seminoles basketball program and turned the
bas ketball program around in a ve ry short time. Her first yea r, the team
finished 11-12, while only after one year of recruiting the 1977-78 season
finished at 19-15 and a second place finished in the FAIAW State
Tournament. The 1978-79 edit ion of the Lady Seminoles recorded a 19-14
worksheet and captured the FAIA W state title and earned their third straight
trip to the regional t ournament.
Murphy has headed up or been a member of various basketball
committees on the state, regional and national levels. She has been the Region
II I Large College Basketball Chairperson and has served on the committee to
select the winner of the prestigious Wade trophy. She has also published
numerous articles and worked in numerous basketball camps in the
Southeast.
"My philosophy of basketball at Eastern Kentucky University goes
beyond looking at basketball as just a game. It's a medium for a young woman
to make a statement about who she is. My playe rs, the way they react and
Dianne Murphy
Nell Hensley
76
�respond, give me an opportunity to make a statement a bout who I am. I am a
demandi ng person. I am demanding o f m yse lf, my coaching staff, and my
playe rs. I co nside r myself a very dedicated and intense perso n. I demand tota l
commitment and believe ou r p layers at EKU will resp ond to that challenge. I
believe they appreciate and respect my philosophy because they a re
challenged and rewarded for doing their best."
Murphy believes the factor in all her teams has been conditioning. "The
success in playing to the ability to move a nd get up and down the court a nd
from that comes our fas t break philosophy. In the past my teams have run
because we were ca pab le of it. Several teams tha t we competed against were
not. Therefore it was to our advantage to execute well offensively and fo rce
turnovers by playing pressure defense whic h enabled us to capitalize on o ur
strongest asset - our running game. The type of playe rs we have t his yea r a t
Eastern will dictate what type of team we will be. Our running game will be
adjusted according to o ur personnel a nd we will probably be mo re of a
structured team t han I have coached in the past. It should prove to be an
indication of success, we will prove to be a very successful team."
'ELL HE SLEY
Graduate Assistant
ell Hensley, a 1977 graduate of Radford (Va.) C ollege, will serve as a
graduate assistant coach this season for EK U. A native of Radfo rd, she
played four years of basketball at that school. While serving one season as
captain, she set a school record for most re bou nds in o ne game.
She is currently wcrking toward her master of science degree in physical
education at Eastern.

has the potential to become one of the top guards in the K WIC. She will
be in competition for a starting position and will be relied on heavily.

�Player's Comment:
At hletics allow the wo man to express a great deal of herself as a human
being. I believe that desire, hustle, a nd maintaining a pos itive att itude are
impo rtant elements in competition. T hey will defi nitely have a n effect on
the attitudes that a perso n will carry with her throughout her life. The
challenges, situatio ns, a nd co nflicts that the player is faced with is
something unique to the ath lete. Ex periences in at hletics affect selfconcepts, affect your tea mmates, and affect the total sco pe of that;:,erson.
I feel that having a psycho logical edge becomes the difference in success
and failure. A n athlete goes to psycho logica l limits, as well as phys ical
limits. I truly believe that o ne cannot funct io n without the other. If you
believe you can do it, it ca n be done.

has a tremendous amount of nat ural ability and is expected to make a
great contribution to t his year's tea m. She is extremely quick for a player

Determination and wanting to win is the th ing. It takes more than just
physical ability to win. It takes wanting to a nd the determinatio n to do
whatever it takes to win more than anything else.

Joan is a good all-round basketball player who co t.Id be a significant

offensive production this season, but will make a much needed
contribution to the defensive effort of the Lad y Colonels. Joan will be
cou nted on heavily to provide d epth and l.eadership at t he forward

Player's Comment :
When I think of my life, I know I am one lucky person. I have been
blessed with a good family and close friends. W hen we encounter a tough
situation, we can lean on each ot her and pull together. We have a strong

She is an excellent rebounde r and is extremely coachable. She is a very

Player's Comment:
There is a mysterious force inside me that keeps me motivated. I feel that
competition is the basis for this feeling. Any athlete has to thrive on
com petition and desire. I love the challenge of performing the best I can
day in and day out. The respo nse of my mind a nd my body as it reacts
against my o pponent is a n unbel ievable experience that makes competition

Diane is a walk-on who could become a valuable asset to the Lady
Colonels bas ketball team. She has good quickness and is an excellent
defensive player. She needs playing experience and coaching but has the
tools to become a good basketball player. She will probably be used at a
guard position but will see some actio n at the fo rward position.

The thing that I do strongly believe in is to do yo ur best in any given
situation. As long as you d o your best, that's all that counts. I believe in
being close with God , and those peo ple around you. I also strongly believe
that if you can't accomplish things in unison with the people around you,
that anything you try to accomplish on your own will be more difficult.

I don't feel that any situation is too ha rd to overcome if you just begin
with a positive attitude. As an athlete, I strive for success at all times a nd
that would be very difficult to ac hieve if I looked at things negatively. To
me, obtaining a positive attitude is the first step toward being a winner.

make certain that my heart is completely into it. If my endeavor doesn't

excellent offensive and defens ive rebounder a nd will be in contention for a
starting position. She has a great enthusiasm for the game and I'm looking
for a great yea r from her.
Player's Comment:
I really enjoy the game of basketball, because everyone must work together
to achieve goals. There is also much individual work that contributes. This
is the most important part to me. because then I can contribute to a team
effort more effectively. I relate well to others, can get along with others
easily, and enjoy working with others, on and off a court. When I fall
behind or get tired, I feel I must work that much harder to catch up, no
matter how hard it hurts. It seems real hard to do sometimes, but that is
one goal I hope to achieve. I hope that my individual goals can contribute
to our team goals, and that I can learn to relate to everyo ne on the team.

If you believe, you shall conquer. I like this phrase because one must have
faith in one's self and her teammates before she can succeed. Belief is
only the beginning. We are the champions of the world is another phrase
I strive for. It gives me strength and courage to succeed to full capacity.
This phrase also takes so me belief; in fact, a great deal of belief. On the
whole, one must believe.

Coach's Comment:
Rita is one of the most dedicated players on the team. She is super quick
and has an excellent vertical jump for a player of her size. I am expecting
Rita to contribute offensively and defensively this year. She is a potential
starter and will be used quite extensively in t he point guard position. She is
an excellent shooter and has led the team in field goal and free throw
accuracy in 1977-78.
Player's Comment:
I want to be the best that I can possibly be at everyt hing I attempt. If I
work hard enough I can accomplish almost anything. I try to keep my
head up and hustling at all times, and I truly believe things will always
work out for the best.

an experienced starting nucleus of Bernie McGlade at center, Kelly Roche at
forward and Aprille Shaffer a t guard. McG!ade, a 6-0 senio r from G louster
City, N.J ., paced the Heels in scoring and rebo unding last year with 14.7 and

since her freshman season two years ago, quarterbacks the offense as the
point guard. With Matthews' departure, Shaffer figures to assume a more
visible leadership role both on and off the court. The 5-5 High Po int, .C. ,

Northern Kentucky University fans will fina lly be able to answer a
question this season that has surrounded the KU women's basketball team
for four years.
Can NK U win without Peggy Vincent?
The answer to that question will surface soon enough, as Nort hern
Kentucky will put its youngest team in three years on the floor against its
toug hest schedule ever. Vincent, Northern's catalyst for four years, has taken
her NKU all-time scoring ( 1833 points) and rebound ing ( 11 66) talent to the
new Philadelphia franchise of the Women's Professional Basketball League.
orthern, meanwhile, has a very young but strong team returning. KU
coach Marily Moore has only two seniors and one junior back from last year's
25- 10 team which placed o. 2 in the KWIC and fourth in the ational
Women's Invitational Tournament.
Leading the returnees is 5-10 sophomore Barb Harkins, a forward who
moved into a starting role as a freshman last yea r and averaged 11. 7 points

schedule. The University of Charleston is always an excellent opponent with
their stro ng inside game which Ohio's defense cut o ff last year, but poor free
throw shooting determined that game. The in-state schools played are Kent
State, Youngstown and Miam i.
Some of the key players retu rning will be OU's leading scorer, a

our three senior veterans was able to get out there at full strengt h for the entire
season and, with the rest of our kids sophomores and fres hmen, that was just
no t enough."
Those three seniors - Pam Hart, Donna Doellman and Beth Blanton had paced the Western women's team to a 63-24 record during their first three
years on "the Hill." But, Hart played only one game before a leg injury ended
her collegiate career a nd Doellman suffered through a series of injuries that

Prospectus
Last year's team finished 19-5, and its second place finish in the Ohio
Small College S tate Tournament earned them the At-Large bid to the
Regional Tournament.
Alth ough the team will miss its fine senior captain and All State guard of
last season, Nann Meyer, the team returns most of its players and is expected
to improve upon thei r fine season of last year.
Julie Biermann is a senior and has been the tea m's MVP for the past 3
years. She has led the Mountees in rebounding and in scoring for the past 3
sea so ns and last year became the first Mountee to score over 1.000 points in
her career.
Kim Winner is another outstanding player returning. She is a 6'0" center
senio r who is an excellent rebounder.
Material from opponents Cincinnati, Austin Peay, Western Carolina and
Dayton was unavailable at press time.

�ME 'S GYM ASTICS PROSPECTUS
The 1980 men's gymnastics squ ad should be the best team ever to
represent Eastern Kentucky University. With five returning letterm en and
a very st rong freshmen class, the team will be much improved.
The Colo nels, however, will still be somewhat lacking in depth and
experience. Coach Calkin is expecting a very good, if not a g reat, season.

national honors in the combined brochures category for the 1978-79 year
including first place in the nation for its winter edition of the Sports Media

Fall and spring editions of the Sports Guide received honorable mention
recognition in the Division A national competition.
The awards were presented in June in Chicago at the 1979 national
meeting of the College Sports Information Directors of America.
Karl Park, EK U's sports information editor, received the certificates on
behalf of the University.
Second place in the Division A judging went to Furman University.
while the University of Oregon won third place honors.
Judging the competition for COSIDA were: Ron Higgins, sports
department, Baton Rouge Morning Advocate; Dutch Kepler. art
department, University of Southwestern Louisiana; and Mike Maher,
director of information services, also of USL.
EK U's sports factbooks took an innovative approach just last year in
combining information about each of the University's I 6 intercollegiate
athletic programs into three publications, one each published in the fall,
winter and spring.
The University's sports publications and services have won numerous
national honors previously, including excellence in press services, sports
guides and football programs.

�EASTERN KENTUCKY UNIVERSITY
Growth - in quantity and quality - has
been the theme at Eastern Kentucky University. The quantity speaks for itself. With an
enrollment of more than 13,500 students, the
University's student body has more than
tripled since 1960. As a result, new dormitories and large, well-equipped academic
structures have been built.
Dr. J. C. P owell completed his second year
as president of the University in October.
Powell, the school's seventh president, sue-
ceeded Dr . Robert R. Martin who served
EKU in that position for 16 ¼ years.
With university status effective July 1,
I 966, Eastern was reorganized into five colleges and a graduate school. Curricula in the
Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology,
Arts and Sciences, Business, and Education
lead to the Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of
Arts, or Associate of Arts degree.
Central University College offers preparatory curricula for the first two years of the
student's college career, providing a liberal
base for a major in one of the advanced colleges.
The College of Law Enforcement and the
College of Allied Health and Nursing have
been created during t he past five years.
The masters degree is offered in several
fields as is the specialist degree. A joint doctoral program in education is sponsored in

�1978-79 BASKETBALL PROSPECTUS
four returning starters, including All-Ohio
Valley Conference forward Lovell Joiner,
head the list of lettermen back for Eastern
head coach Ed Byhre as he begins his third
season at the Colonel helm.
Besides Joiner, a 6-7 senior, those starters
include 6-0 senior guard Kenny Elliott, 6-0
sophomore guard Bruce Jones, and 6-8
junior center Dave Bootcheck. Other top
returnees include 6-5 senior forward Vic Merchant and 6-3 junior guard Dave Tierney.
Both saw considerable action last year as
part-time starters.
Two newcomers who will be counted on
heavily this year are 6-4 junior forward-guard
James Tillman, a transfer from Maryland,
and 6-2 sophomore guard Donnie Moore, a
transfer from Kentucky State. Also, new to
the '78-79 roster are incoming freshmen Carvin Blocker, a 6-6, I94-pound forward and
6-8 , 205-pound forward Dale Jenkins.
Joiner led last year's team to a 15-11 season
mark, Eastern's best record in five years,
with a 17 .4 scoring average and he was also
the Colonels' top rebounder with 9.6 grabs
per game. Elliott was next in scoring with a
14".4 average while Jones and Bootcheck also
finished with double digit averages of 10.4
and 10.3, respectively.
Eastern set two OVC records last season as
the Colonels piled up 498 assists for the year
and broke the single game record with 36 vs.
Wilmington College. Jones led EKU with 134
assists, while Elliott had 112 and Joiner 111.
Coach Byhre expects his team to be in the
thick of the OVC race due in most part to a
veteran team and the additions of Tillman
and Moore. Byhre will put a strong and aggressive defensive team on the floor while on
offense the Colonels will have the speed and
rebounding strength to get out and run when
the opportunity arises.

Carvin Blocker . .. 6-6 ½ . . . 195 .. .
freshman . .. forward . . . Brockport,
N. Y. Carvin is the lone frosh on this
year's squad. With his size he will be playing
at the small forward position. Carvin runs extremely well and gets off his feet q uickly. He
handles the ball very well for his size and has
good defensive potential. Carvin should contribute much to 1he EKU program over the
nex1 four years. He was chosen to the AllArea learn and was a starter in the Buffalo
Roundball Classic.

Lovell Joiner ... 6-7 .. . 220 . ..
senior . . . forward . . . Washington,
D.C. Slim will move 10 power forward
this year, which will enable him to work more
inside. H is combination of strength and
finesse is rare in most power players of his
size. An AII-OVC performer in 1977-78 when
he led the squad in scoring and rebounding,
he should contribute even more to the team
his final year. A candidate for post-season
honors, Joiner earned All-Metro recognition
in high school and was a McDonald Classic
Prep All-America.

become a more complele player. A former

CONFERENCE AFFILIATIONS
In 194 1, foresighted men had visions of an
Ohio Valley Conference. Sportswriters speculated about the impending division of the
Kentucky Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. Virtually all agreed it was just a matter of time until tbe division took place and a
new athletic conference was formed .
Then the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor
and America was plunged into World War II.
Seven years later, a fter the hostilities had
ceased, a pre-war dream became a post-war
reality. The "Big Five" of the K.l.A.C.
withdrew to form the Ohio Valley 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,
shortly thereafter, by Tennessee Tech and
Marshall College.
Purpose of the O.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 .
Akron was added to the conference this year,
replacing East Tennessee who joined the
Southern Conference.
University of Akron's Zips became the
eighth member of the Ohio Valley Conference on July I.
The largest OVC member, UA's varsity
sports will gradually move into league competition as scheduling permits. Spring sports
may participate in the league championships
next year; the basketball team could be eligible for the 1979-80 season, while the football
team may enter the league race by 1981.
19
Varsity sports offered to the 22,000 student
body include football, basketball, baseball,
track, cross-country, soccer, wrestling, swimming, tennis and golf for the men, and
basketball, volleyball, softball and tennis for
the women.
The University's athletic facilities include a
35,482-seat football stadium, the Rubber
Bowl, and construction on a new 7,500-seat
basketball arena is scheduled to begin next
spring.
Eastern's women's teams are members of
the 19-school Kentucky Women's Intercollegiate Conference. KWlC is the official
ath letic conference for all recognized
women's collegiate programs in Kentucky.
KWIC conducts state tournaments for college women in basketball, field hockey, gymnastics, tennis, track and field and volleyball
and is the recognized affiliate of the national
organization, the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AJA W).
Eastern a lso competes against other OVC
schools in a regular season schedule in
basketball and a post-season tournament in
tennis.
Bob Vanatta, former athletic director at
Oral Roberts University and former basketball coach at Memphis State and Missouri,
has begun his third year as Commissioner of
the ave.
Vanatta, who operates the conference office in Nashville, Tenn. , is the third commissioner in the OVC's 28-year history. Arthur
L. Guepe headed the league office from 1963
until resigning in 1975, while Paul Dietzel
took over for Guepe.
Eastern ranks second in the conference's
all-time standings with a 206-173 won-lost
record. The Colonels have won three regular
season titles outright (in '53, '59 and '65).

seven consecutive 20-win seasons. Pam
Chambers, a 5-9 junior guard-forward who
led Tech in scoring last year (16.4 ppg.) will
move to point guard, replacing Hastings.

Eastern's indoor season will be a good experience and practice for EKU' s team to prepare them for another outstanding out•
door season. W ith 1he addition of two very good hurdlers and a half miler, EKU will fill some positions which have not been as
successful as Eastern needs . These girls will relieve t he pressure on EKU's pentathlete, Teri Seippel, so she may dedicate her
talents mainly to that event.

�ATHLETICS AT
EASTERN
KENTUCKY
UNIVERSITY
Outstanding facilities are required to support an operation with the scope of Eastern' s
School of HPERA. The School's programs
are housed in five major campus structures The Robert B. Begley Building, where it is
headquartered, the Alumni Coliseum, the
Weaver Health Building, the Presnell
Building and the Greg Adams Building.
Numerous tennis courts, recreation areas,
Gertrude Hood Field, Turkey H ughes
Baseball Field, and the Tom C. Samuels
grass-tex surfaced nine-la ne track with tartan
infield are among the other facilities of the
School. An 18-hole golf course and an outdoor education-recreation demonstration
area are located a t Arlington. There are four
equipped training rooms attached to the intercollegiate locker rooms in four Buildings.
The Department of School and Public Health
has an environmental health laboratory in the
new Rowlett Building.
The School of Health, P hysical Education,
Recreation and Athletics, sponsors seven intercollegiate sports for men, six intercollegiate sports for women and two coeducational intercollegiate sports. Extensive intramural programs are sponsored providing
varied participation opportunities for all men
and women students and faculty.
These programs are an integral part of the
total program and development of Eastern
students. They offer experiences which contribute immeasurably to the health, vitality
and preparation of young people as citizens
and for their leadership contributions to the
youth in the nation's schools and elsewhere.
The extensive indoor and outdoor facilities
are used interchangeably for instruction and
athletics as is the faculty. The School, which
is organized under a single administrative
unit, includes three academic departments
under which there are seventeen undergraduate and graduate degree programs and
intercollegiate athletics. T his type organization contributes significant ly to successful
coordination of the program, faculty and
faci lities for maximum contribution to the
overall mission of the University.
The seven-story Begley Building is designed
to serve nearly 2,000 students hourly in
classes and also provides seating for more
than 20,000 football spectators. Included in
the structure are three gymnasiums, 12 handball courts, 36 classrooms, 60 offi ces a nd the
dressing fac ilities for physical education and
football. A training area includes two exercise and weight-lifting rooms, a steam room
and a large therapy tank.
The "Thomas E. McDonough Intramural
Fields," which boasts 10 football fields, two
of which are varsity practice fields and
another two of which a re large enough fo r
soccer play, are in use . In season, eight softball fields may be superimposed on the football layouts.
A balanced athletic program, intramural,
sports clubs and intercollegiate, is provided
by the School. Intramural and sports clubs'
programs are sponsored through the physical
education department by intramural directors. Competition in numerous sports, including softball , flag football, soccer, racquetball, bowling, volleyball, table tennis,
track, basketball and fi eld hockey provide
physical outlets for EKU students.
The Glenn Presnell Building houses football locker and shower rooms, a training
room, rest rooms and storage, o ffice and lecture areas. An equipment check-out room
and other service facilities are located to serve
the students who participate in the intramural
programs.

�CONFERENCE
AFFILIATIONS
The University's athletic facilities include a
35,482-seat football stadium, the Rubber
Bowl, and construction on a new 7 ,500-seat
basketball arena is scheduled to begin next
spring.
In 1941, foresighted men had visions of an
Ohio Valley Conference. Sportswriters 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 wa~ formed.
Then the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor
and America was plunged into 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.1.A.C.
withdrew to form the Ohio Valley 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,
shortly 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 I 962. They replaced Louisville, which became an independent in 1949, and Marshall
and Evansville, which departed in 1952.
Akron was added to the conference this year,
replacing East Tennessee who joined the
Southern Conference.
University of Akron's Zips became the
eighth member of the Ohio Valley Conference on July I.
The largest OVC member, UA's varsity
sports will gradually move into league competition as scheduling permits. Spring sports
may participate in the league championships
next year; the basketball team could be eligible for the 1979-80 season, while the football
team may enter the league race by 1981.
Varsity sports offered to the 22,000 student
body include football, basketball, baseball,
track, cross-country, soccer, wrestling, swimming, tennis and golf for the men, and basketball, volleyball, softball and tennis for the
women.
Eastern's women's teams are members of
the 19-school Kentucky Women's Intercollegiate Conference. KWIC is the official
athletic con ference for all recognized
women's collegiate programs in Kentucky.
KWIC conducts state tournaments for college women in basketball, field hockey, gymnastics, tennis, track and field and volleyball
and is the recognized affiliate of the national
organization, the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIA W).
Eastern also competes against other OVC
schools in a regular season schedule in
basketball and a post-season tournament in
tennis.
Bob Vanatta, former athletic director at
Oral Roberts University and former basketball coach at Memphis State and Missouri,
has begun his third year as Commissioner of
the OVC.
Vanatta, who operates the conference office in Nashville, Tenn., is the third commissioner in the OVC's 28-year history. Arthur
L. Guepe headed the league office from 1963
until resigning in 1975, while Paul Dietzel
took over for Guepe.
Eastern ranks second in the conference's
all-time standings with a 110-75-7 won-lost
record. The Colonels have won five regular
season titles outright (in '54, '67, '68, '74,
and '76) and shared one title in 1962. Eastern
also won the NCAA Mideast Regional championship in 1967.
Annually, the OVC presents an All-Sports
Trophy for over-all excellence in the entire
athletic program. Eastern finished second
four seasons ago in the all-sports trophy race.

ROY KIDD
Head Coach
JOE BLANKENSHIP
End and Linebacker Coach
The 1977 season proved to be one o f the
most disappointing of the 14 previous years
Roy Kidd had spent as head coach of the
Eastern Kentucky Universit y Colonels.
In the three previous years, he had seen his
team put together t hree eight-game winning
seasons, win two Ohio Valley Con ference
champio nships and advance to the NCAA
Division II championships.
So, it was no surprise when the pre-season
poll picked Eastern as the favorite. Ten
games, multiple injuries, big plays by the oppositio n and many tears later, Eastern showed a 5-5 sla te and only a 4-3 mark in the conference which tied the Colonels for t hird
place with Murray State.
"This year proved that no championship is
ever won on paper. Austin Peay was picked
last by the coaches and won the title, while we
were picked fir st and fini shed in t he middle of
the pack, " said Kidd.
During t hese past I 4 years, t he Colonels
have captured four OVC championships, had
an u nbeaten string of 15 games in the league
and won the 1967 NCAA Mideast Regional
Championship (covering more t han 100
teams in a 10-state area) by defeating Ball
State 27-13 in the Grantland Rice Bowl. EKU
has compiled a record of 92-46-6 during t his
period.

After spending his freshman year o f college
at the University of Kentucky, Blankenship

master's degree in 1966 from EKU.
Blankenship, 36, is married to the former

the EKU defense again th is year, developed
the best pass defense in t he OVC in his first
seaso n at Eastern. Since then , the Colonel
secondary has been noted for tightening up
when the opponents near the Eastern goal
line.

PROSPECTUS
While d efensive experie nce is considered a strength, head
coach Charlie Bradshaw sees a lack of depth in linemen to be
the major concern when he talks of the 1978 Troy State
University football season.
Bradshaw is entering his third year as the Trojans' head
coach and compares th is year's defensive unit to the one in
1976 which played a key role in thal team's Gulf South Conference championship season.
Two-time All-GSC performer Tim Tucker and fellow
sen ior Rodney Miller are back al 1he two linebaclcer spots.
The secondary is a year older with cornerbacks Pat Mathews
and David H ogan returning to starting positions. Kicker
Randy Yancey will line up at free safety.
Only four starters return on offense. Tackle Bobby
Fowler, center Eddie Phillips, runningback Bo yd Grant and
punter Mike Quinn are all that are left from the 1977
regulars.

PROSPECTUS
The ETSU Sues will take on a completely new look th is
season. A new coaching sta ff, headed b y Jack Carlisle ,
former assistant at Ole Miss, took over short ly after the end
of last season and immediately went to work to put the Buccaneers back on a winning trail after an eight-ye ar drought.
Carlisle instituted a demanding weigh t p rogram. a new offensive system and recruited a full quota of 30 players to go
with a solid nucleus of returning veterans. The Bucca neers
lost only a dozen players from last year's club which posted a
disappointing 3-8 record.
•
An experienced group of running backs return headed by
junior Greg Wilson, who gained 702 yards in eight games last
season for an average carry o f 5 .8 and Jimmy Dykes, also a
junior who averaged 3.9 yards per try.
Eastern lead s the series, 17-7-2.

PROSP ECTUS
There a re o bvious question marks concerning Boots Donnelly's second edition of Austin Peay football. How do you
replace Bob Bible, the OVC 1 1 Defensive Player of the Year"
a nd a n All-American selection? Where do you find players
to match the exploits of defensive tackle James Green and
defensive end David Williams? Who will carry the ball with
fullback Waddell Whitehead and the tailback Coveak
Moody missing from the backfield?
The optimism leaks out in the form of 30 returning lette rmen, including 15 starters and two All-OVC performers.
End Ron Sebree and free safety Mike Betts are two of seven
regulars back from last year's league-leading defense that
yielded just lS touchdowns over 11 games.
Randy Ch ristophel returns for his fourth season as the
Governors starting signal caller. Christophel led the Governors in total offense last season as he accounted for 958
yards and six touchdowns. Sophomore Cosmo Cochran and
redshirt freshman Do nald Brown loom as the top candidates
at tailback.

PROSPECTUS
Fourteen starters arc gone from the Middle Tennessee
team which posted a 3-8-0 record last fall, but head coach
Ben H urt, in his fourth year as top man in the Blue Raider
football program, is optim istic.
First of a ll, there are 28 lettermen back from 1977, plus
red-shirted quarterback Ricky Davis, who missed the entire
campaign with an inj ury. Second, the Raiders will play six
games al home instead of the four they played lasl fall.
The main problem on offense will be to replace three-time
All-OVC runningback Mike Moore, while the main problem
on defense will be to replace nearly everybody. The Raiders
have lost Mike Robinson, the starting quarterback ror lhe
past three seasons, and all of the slarting receivers, in addition to Moore.
Defensi\lely, MTSU will be much younger than in recent
years, but will have a chance 10 mature early with the likes of
Tennessee State, UT-Martin, Morehead State and UTC hattanooga on the schedule in September.
Middlt Tennessee leads tht series, 13-12.

PROSPECTUS
Hoping 10 post their second win ning season since 1970, the
Dayton Flyers ret urn an experienced team under second-year
head coach Rick Carter. Carter, who led Dayton to an 8-3
record in 1977, has 31 lettermen returning from that strong
squad including six offensive and five defensive starters.
Leading the attack on offense is Sylvester Monroe, a fleet
tailback from Louisville, who led Dayton in rushing last
season with 897 yards. Teaming up with him in the backfield
wilt be fullbacks Tom Berkemeir and Brian Dorenkott.
Dorenkott was the second leading rusher in '77 with 443
yards. T he q uarterback slot is expected lo be shared by Scott
Terry and Claude Chaney who replace last fall's signal
caller, B.J. Dailey.
Coach C arter sees a pro prospect in place kicker Hartmut
Strecker, a senior soccerstyle kicker, who kicked 34 for 34
PATS in 1977. In addition, he booted a 59-yard field goal at
Iowa State to set a Dayton record.
Dayton leads tht series, 3-2.

PROSPECTUS
Coming off last year's 1-8-1 record, the t 978 football
season ranks as a rebuilding year for Western' s Hill toppers.
But WKU head coach Jimmy Feix and his coaching sfaff actually started that rebuilding job well before the l 977 campaign ended.
T he Hilltoppers, for example, finished last season with
five freshmen and three sophomores among their 11 offensive starters. T he Hilltoppers went to a twin-tailback set in
their offensive backfield last season.
The tailback candidates would include veteran Jimmy
Woods, back for his senior season, and sophomore Nate
Jones and Craig Freeman, both of whom showed promise in
'77. Woods had 906 yards rushing last fall, while Freeman
and Jones had 167 and 154, respectively.
The offense shows two proven performers in Eddie
Preston at split-end and Ricky Gwinn al tight end, but will
have to come up with somebody to replace dependable Billy
Lindsey at the flanker post.

Eastern leads lhe suin, 20...14-1.
PROSP ECTUS
New Murray State Coach Mi ke Gottfried's major concern
this season will be the reb uild ing o f an offensive line that lost
both start ing tackles, a start ing center and two guards since
last season . Not a ll is gloom o n o ffense, however, a s a fine
corps o f running b acks is expected to provide inte nse competition for starting positions.
Ahhough most of the defensive posi lions have experienced
players returning, the depth that was the d efensive trademark d uring 1977 will be missing this fa ll. Heading the
de fense is Bruce Martin , a n a ll-conference selection al end,
who had 57 tackles and 22 assists last year,
Eutrrn l<ods the s,ri,s, 11- 15-4.

PROSPECTUS
With the 1978 season a d efinite milestone in Akron footba ll history, spring practice was used by head coach Jim
Dennison to reevaluate their personnel and renew the enthusia sm of his club.
His biggest concern is on defense, especially at linebacker,
where the Z ips lost all four starters, including first-team AllAmerican Steve Cockerham.
Senior quanerback Marly Bezbatchenko returns for his
third season as a starter and leader o f UA's Slot-I anack. A
good option-type signal caller, Bezbatchenko expects to be
giving the ball to running backs Paul Winters, a junior, and
senior Redell Windley - the lop two returning rushers o f
1977.
Protecting Bezbatchenko and o pening the holes for the
running backs is a veteran offensive line keyed by senior
guard Herb Kohler (6-2, 224), sophomore center Juan Pope
(6-2, 225) and 6-1, 230-pound junior guard Jim Christo pher.
Akron leads the series, 2-1.
PROSPECTUS
Offense should be the name of lhe game ror the 1978
Morehead State Eagles with the nucleus of one of the
strongest offensive teams in the OVC returning.
The primary returnee for coach Wayne Chapman's team is
senior quarterback Phi l Simms who was the 1977 OVC Offensive Player of the Year and became the sixth quarterback
in the history of the league to pass for the more th an 2,000
yards in a season, throwing for 2,041.
Also returning are Simms' top receivers from last year's
2-6-2 squad. Dorron Hunter is a 5-7, 160 J)Ound sophomore
who caught 36 passes for 687 yards and seven TD's. Larry
Campassi, a S-10, l6S pound junio r, caught 4 1 1osses for 511
yards and two TD's.
In the rushing department, rullback Norman Letcher,
5-11, 200-pounder returns for h is senior season, after gaining
343 yards on 67 carr ies for a S. l yard-per-carry average.
Eastern leads the series. 29-15-4.

1978 PROSPECTUS
Eastern's 1978 women's cross country season looks promising for Coach Sandra Martin
who has four of her top five runners returning from last year. But the success of this team
will be largely determined by the replacement for Jenny Utz, EKU's top performer from
the 1977 season who graduated.
Coach Martin feels this team will have a good chance o f repeating its bid for the national
title if she can find someone who has the talent to replace Utz. The top returnees are Sue
Schaefer, Paula Gaston, Peggy Painter, and Vicky Renner.

1978 PROSPECTUS
Eastern is hoping for an outstanding season this coming year, after a second place finish
in the Ohio Valley Conference tournament and the championship of four spring tourneys
during the 1977 season.
First-year coach Ray Struder has set as goals for his team - winning the OVC
championship, a fi nish in the top 20 in the nation and an invitation to the NCAA college
championship tournament.
Although playing a tougher schedule against the predominately ranked teams in the
nation and losing two of its top players, Eastern will be a much experienced team with
Mike Gray, Doug Brehme, Mike Frey, Dave Clement, Dave Gaer (Arlington course recordholder with a 64) and transfer student Tim North returning.

1978 PROSPECTUS
The Eastern Kentucky University field hockey team will be facing a variety of worthy
opponents in the 1978 season. The Virginia Tech invitational meet has attracted several

(1977 captain); Debbie Condreva (Outstanding Field Hockey Sportswoman); and Linda
Marchese, (1976 All-Tournament P layer). Sharon Stivers, outstanding back, will be returning to EKU for two more seasons of play.

�1978 PROSPECTUS
Nine upperclassmen return for Coach Geri P olvino's volleyball team which is expected to
have the experience necessary to make a strong bid for the Kentucky Women's Intercollegiate Conference (KWIC) state title.
Added to this experience will be a new pool of high school talent that provides Polvino
with the needed balance to run a multiple offense keying on mid-court. Recognizing that
the ability to put the ball down on the opponents is the key element to the game, Eastern
will make a strong effort in developing a power attack . Team strategy will be focused on
freeing key hitters, enabling them to spike one on one against the opponent's block.
EKU will have one of the most-experienced setters in the KWIC to help accomplisl) that
goal in seni9r setter Pau_la Tim9n. The team will attempt to regain its traditional KWIC
leadership role t his season' by adding a fifth state championship and a fourth AIA W
regional tit'le behind the play of top returnees Tipton, Evy Abell, Janie Burgess, Jeanne
Maguson , and Debbie Niles.
RECORDS
Eastern's volleyball team has won 70% of its state, regional and national competition
since 1967. This record includes four KWIC state championships and three AIA W Region
II championships. During the 1975-76 season E.K.U. finished 14th in the AIAW National
Championship.
Team records for serving, spiking and passing (on a scale o f 4 .0) are 2.2, 2.0 and 1.6,
respectively. The individual record for serving is shared by Kim Shibinski and Paula Tipton
at 2.4, while Evy Abell holds the marks for spiking and passing, 2.4, and 1.8.

1978 PROSPECTUS
Four returning players will give Eastern women's tennis coach Dr. Martha Mullins the
nucleus for a 16-match fall schedule which pits her team against some strong competition

provide Eastern with its strongest team in recent seasons. The top returning players are
sophomores Mary Hochwalt and Mendy Jackson.
Additions to the 1978 team are Deanna Addis, who ranked 13th in the 1977 Western
Tennis Association ratings, and Priscilla Nelson, the junior college transfer who ranked
I 8th in the Florida Tennis Association while in high school.
1977 RESULTS
The 1977 tennis team placed 3rd in the KWIC Championships and 2nd in the O.V.C.
tournament. The overall team match record since 1970 is 65 wins and 27 losses.

�EASTERN KENTUCKY UNIVERSITY
•
Growth - in quantity and quality - has been the theme at Eastern
Kentucky University. The quantity speaks for itself. With an enrollment of
more than I 3,000 students, the University's student body has more than
tripled since 1960. As a result, new dormitories and large, well-equipped
academic structures have been built.
Dr. J. C. Powell will be completing his seventh year as president of the
University in October. Powell, the school's seventh president, succeeded Dr.
Robert R. Martin who served EKU in that position for 16¼ years.
At a 1978 Board of Regents meeting, Eastern was reorganized into nine
colleges and a graduate school. Five colleges - Applied Arts and
Technology, Business, Education, Law Enforcement and Allied Health and
Nursing - remained intact.
Four new colleges were created, including Natural and Mathematical
Sciences, Social and Behavioral Sciences, Arts and Humanities and Health,
Physical Education, Recreation and Athletics.
The masters d egree is offered in several fields as is the specialist degree. A
joint doctoral program in education is sponsored in cooperation with the
University of Kentucky.
The physical plant has undergone building and renovation programs
totaling more than $138 million since 1960. During this period every existing
major campus facility has been remodeled or completely reconstructed.

�CONFERENCE AFFILIATIONS
In 194 1, foresighted men had visions of an
Ohio Valley Confe rence. Sportswriters speculated about the impend ing division of t he
Kentucky Intercollegiate Athlet ic Conference. Virtually all agreed it was just a matter of
time until the division took place and a new
athletic conference was formed .
T hen the J apa nese bombed Pearl Ha rbor
and America was plunged into World War II.
Seven yea rs later, after the hostilities had
ceased, a pre-war dream became a post-war
reality. The "Big Five " of the K.1. A.C. withdrew to form the O hio Valley Conference .
Making the m ove were W este rn
Kentucky S tate College, Eastern Kentucky
State College, Murray S tate College, Morehead S ta te Co llege and t he University of
Louisvi lle. They were joi ned by Evansville
College and , shortly thereafter, by T ennessee
Tech and Marshall College.
Purpose of t he O.V.C., which was set
fort h in its const it ution, is " to regulate, control
and promote all the recognized branches of
intercollegiate athletics in institutions represented."
Through a gradual process, the O h io
Valley Conference was to become a league of
Kentucky a nd Tennessee state colleges.
Middle T ennessee S ta te 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 d epa rted in
1952.
T he University of Akro n and You ngstown State University joined theOVC in 197980.
Eastern also competes against ot herOVC
schools in a regular season schedu le in
women's basketball and tournaments in tenn is
and volleyball. Championships arc held also in
cross country and outdoor track.
Eastern ranks first in the Conference's alltime football standings with a 144-82-7 wonlost record. The Colonels have won seven
regular season titles outright ('54, '67, '68, '74 ,
'76, '81 and '82) and shared one title in 1962.
Eastern won the NCAA D ivision I-AA
nat ional championship in 1979 and 1982 and
the NCAA M ideast Regional C hampionship
in 1967 . The Colonels finished as nat ional
runners up in the NCAA 's I-AA Division in
1980 and 198 1.
J im Delany, a 35-year-old former NCAA
investigator, is serving his fifth year as commissioner of the Ohio Valley Conference. He
succeeded Bob Vanatta as the OVC's fourth
commiss ioner.
The Succasunna, New J e rsey, native became the youngest commissioner to serve the
conference. T he other OVC commissioners
prior to Vanatta were Arth ur Guepc and Paul
Dietzel.
Delany is a 1970 graduate of the U n ivcrsity of North Carolina where he played basketball for coach Dean Smith's Tarhcels from
1967-70 and served as co-captain of the 196970 squad.
Following graduat ion, Delany entered
the UNC Law School a nd served as an
assista nt coach under Smith. He received his
law degree in 1973 before joining the NCAA
staff.

programs.
The extensive indoor and outdoor facilities are used interchangea bly for
instruction and athletics as is the faculty. The College, which is organized

doctorate. Thirty graduate assistants perform teaching and other services.
A balanced athletic program, intramural, sports clubs and intercollegiate, is provided by the College. Intramural and sport clubs programs
are sponsored through the H.P. E. R. & A. services department by intramural
directors. Competition in numerous sports, including softball, flag football,
soccer, racquetball, bowling, volleyball, table tennis, track basketball and
field hockey provide physical outlets for EK U students.
EKU, a member of the NCAA and Ohio Valley Conference, fields
athletic tea ms in baseball, basketball, football, swimming, golf, tennis, cross
country, track (indoor and outdoor) and rifle. Basketball, field hockey,
tennis, cross country, track and field (indoor and outdoor) and volleyball

Outstanding facilities are req uired to support an operation with the
scope of Eastern's College of H.P.E.R. & A. The College's programs are
housed in five major campus structures - The Robert B. Begley Building,
where it is headquartered, the Alumni C oliseum, the Weaver Health Building,
the Presnell Building and the Greg Adams Building. Numerous tennis courts,
recreation areas, Gertrude Hood Field, Turkey Hughes Baseball Field, and
the Tom C. Samuels nine-lane track with tartan infield are among the other
facilities of the College. An 18-hole golf course and an outdoor educationrecreation demonstration area are located at Arlington. There are four
equipped training rooms attached to the intercollegiate locker rooms in four
buildings.
The seven-story Begley Building is designed to serve nearly 2,000
students hourly in classes and also provides seating for more than 20,000
football spectators. Included in the structure are three gymnasiums, 12
handball courts, 36 classrooms, 60 offices and the dressing facilities for
physical education and football. A training area includes two exercise and
weight-lifting rooms, a steam room and a large therapy tank. A seminar room
and reception area are located on the second level of the building. Offices on
this level have been accoustically treated to absorb sound from the open-top
athletic area.
The Thomas E. McDonough Intramural Fields, which boasts 10 football
fields, two of which are varsity practice fields and another two which are large
enough for soccer play, are in use. In season, eight softball fields may be
superimposed on the football layouts.
The Glenn Presnell Building houses football locker and shower rooms, a
training room, rest rooms and storage, office and lecture areas. An equipment
check-out room and other service facilities are located to serve the students
who participate in the intramural programs.
The Greg Ada ms indoor tennis facility became available for use in the
fall of 1976. It constitutes the fifth building on campus devoted to housing the
activities of the College of H.P.E.R. & A.

�Football
the national finals.
During these past 19 years, Eastern has
captured two national championsh ips, two
national runnersup trophies. six OVC
championsh ips. had an unbeaten string of 15
games in the league and won the 1967 NCAA
Mideast Regional Champio nship (covering
more than 100 teams in a JO-state area) by
defeating Ball State 27-13 in the Grantland
Rice Bowl. The Colonels also start the 1983
season wit h a 31 game winning streak at t heir
home stadium. Hanger Field.
Eastern has continually been ranked in
the top twenty in the nation by the NCAA
D ivision I- AA pollsters. holding the No. I
spot fo r nine consecutive weeks last season.
Kidd's success comes from a combination
of demanding the ultimate in dedication and
d etermina tion. yet being a coach who is
respected by his players.
His ability to communicate wit h his
players stems from a realistic, matter-of-fact
attitude. He's gen uinely concerned about each
ind ividua l as a player and as a student.
He has a brilliant football mind and is a
man who takes advantage of most si tuations
and is not afraid to gamble. He is a n organizer
who has surrounded himself with a very
capable coachi ng staff.
All these ingredients point to t he fact that
Roy Kidd is a winner. It a ll started for Kidd as
a little leaguer in Corbin, Ky., and he continued on the plus side of the ledger as a high
school at hlete a nd then as a football and
baseball star at Eastern.
When he was a graduate assistant coach.
Eastern went unbeaten and received an
invitation to t he Tangerine Bowl. T hen he
sta rted coaching in high school. b uilding tiny
Richmond Madison into a state foot ball
powerhouse. He had a 54-10-1 record. a 27game win ning streak and 14 consecutive
u nscored-upon games. He was Kentucky
Coach of the Year in 1961 when the Purples
were ranked No. I in t he state a ll 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.
•
ROY KIDD
Head Coach
Roy Kidd's trophy case and office walls
are running out o f room .
Kidd and his Eastern football team have
garnered so much success and notoriety
during the past fo u r years that t he next person
hired might be an interior decorator instead of
another assistant coach.
Consider this:
- Last season Eastern played in its
fourth consecutive national championsh ip
game and won its second national championship title in compiling a s potless 13-0 record .
Kidd was voted OYC Co-Coach of the Year.
the Lou isville Coach of the Year, Clinic Coach
of the Year. the Louisville Quarterback Clu b
Coach of the Year for I 982 and fort he second
consecutive season was recipient of The
Lexing1on Herald's Kentucky Sportsman of
the Year award.
Kidd was honored in I 981 as he was
selected the National Coach of the Year in IAA fo r the second straight year a nd the OVC
Coach of the Year.
Noteworthy coachi ng achievements have
become a rule of thumb for Kidd during the
last five years. In 1978, he was credited with h is
100th collegiate coaching victory and . of
cou rse, in 1979 he guided the Colonels to t he
Division I-AA national championship. E K U
fini shed 11 -2 that latter year.
T hen, in 1980, Kidd's Eastern team came
within 55 seconds of putting back-to-back
national cha mpionships together. winning IO
games before losing to Boise State 3 1-29 on a
fo urth-down pass in t he national title contest.

�EASTERN KENTUCKY UNIVERSITY
1983 Football Prospectus
Eastern Kentucky University head football coach Roy Kidd returns 27 lettermen from last
season's Ohio Valley Conference and NCAA Division I-AA national championship team .
Kidd. who begins his 20th season at Eastern with a 146-55-6 record, has guided the Colonels
to the I-AA tit le game for four consecutive seasons, having also won a national championship in
1979.
Senior receiver Tron Armstrong (6-1. 198), a first team All-OVC and honorable mention
All-A merican performer in 1982. leads Colonel returnees. Armstrong, who played tight end in
1982 but who could move in 1983 to flanker. was Eastern and the OVC's second-leading receiver
last year with 38 catches for 475 yards and four TD's.
Also return ing for Eastern on offense is senior tailback Terence Thompson (5-9. 182).
T hompson. an AII-OVC player as a sophomore. ran for 883 yards and seven TD's last year and is
expected to carry the bulk of the rushing load if he stays healthy in 1983.
Three part-time starters will also be back for their sophomore pass receiving seasons.
Flanker Alvin Blount (6-4, 199) headed this group with nine catches last season for 124 yards.
Flanker Isiah Hiil (5-9. 157) a nd tight end Simon Codrington (6-3, 195) round out the returning
receivers.
The quarterback slot. vacated by All-OVC signal-caller Tuck Woolum, will be handled by
either of two redshirt freshman q uarterbacks, Greg Parker (5- 11, 163) and Pat Smith (5-11 , 162).
Tim Portale also returns a t this position. a lthough playing sparingly in 1982.
Perhaps the biggest strengt h of the '83 Colonels lies on the offensive line where four starters
ret urn including senior second-team OVC Media Association All-OVC center Chris Sullivan /62. 248). Other starters along the line returning include senior guard Mike Bobek (6- 1. 222), senior
guard David Burry (6- 1. 240) and junior tackle Joe Spadafino (6-1. 238).
The biggest rebuilding job by the Eastern coaching staff must come on defense where nine
starters were lost through graduation, including All-OVC li nebacker A lex Dominguez and allconference tackle Randy Taylor.
The two returning starters include the third-leading tackler on the '82 team, j unior
roverback Anthony Jones (5-11 , 189) who had 58 tackles, 30 assists and five interceptions and
senio r noseguard Mike McShange (5- 10, 228) who had 11 tackles for losses.
Other players expected to see plenty of playing time this fall include senior linebacker David
Hill (5-10. 227), junior linebacker William May (5-10, 20 I ). junior linebacker Terry Simmons (511 , 202), senior cornerback Mike Mims (5-11 , 192) and sophomore defensive back Bobby
Scannell (5-11, 180).
Reds hirts on defense who will be in action in '83 include sophomore end Joe Mauntel,
sophomore tackle Rick Campbell, freshman linebacker Fred Harvey and freshman safety Robert
Williams.
The kicking game for the Colonels remains in good hands with senior Jamie Lovett (5-9,
164) and senior Steve Rowe (6-5, 230) handling the placekicking and punting dut ies, respectively.
Lovett had another outstanding year in '82scoring 72 points on 39-43 extra points and 11-21 field
goals. Rowe, meanwh ile. a nd his EK U punt coverage teammates led the nat ion in net punting
(39.8) as Rowe averaged 40. 9 yards per punt last season.
Eastern finis hed the 1983 season with a perfect 13-0 record and extended its Hanger Field
winning streak to 31.

PROSPECTUS
Experience, proven runningbacks and a solid defense are among the
most pleasant reasons the ETSU Bucs will greet the dawning of the Sasser
seasons on a note of cautious optimism.
Buddy Sasser, a highly successful coach at Wofford College, has taken
over the helm of the Buccaneer program, buffeted by injuries, academic
problems and a 2-9 campaign. A total of 53 lettermen return, most of whom
saw a good deal of playing time.
Four quarterbacks return but only two saw any playing time. Robert
Achoe and Walt Bowlin saw considerable action while Mark Tucker and
Robbie White were on hand. The runningback situation is good with Jerry
Butler, Todd Bloomer, Henry Latham and Vince Redd returning.
"We hope some of our newcomers will be a ble to step in and help," said
Sasser. "Although for the most part the freshmen will fill in depth wise."
Eastern leads the series, 18-9-2.

PROSPECTUS
For the first time since taking over the head coaching reins in I 975, Bill
Narduzzi and his staff will be faced with more question marks than ever
before. YSU's biggest problem will be to find a replacement for graduated
tailback Paris Wicks, who for the past two years has been "Mr. Everything" to
the Penguins' backfield. Wicks earned OVC and All-American honors both
years.
The Penguins have strength returning at fullback in junior Mike Hardie
and Vic Ceglie, while it appears that Robert Thompson and Tyrone Ivy have
the inside track at the tailback position.
Returning in the secondary will be John To massilli, Mick O'Hara and
Walter Allen, while YSU's first ever junior college transfer Jeff Marton of
Santa Barbara Junior college is o n campus and ready to go. The linebacking
corps looks very strong with co-captain Mark Derthick, Patrick Toler,
Dwayne Rogers and C hris Stec slated to start.
Eastern leads the series, 7-4-0.

PROSPECTUS
Keep the veterans hungry, give the young players a fair look and improve
consistency in every phase of the game - these are three areas around which
UA head coach Jim Dennison based his pre-season philosophy. He hopes to
use last season's second-place finish in the OVC as a spring board to a better
season in 1983.
" We feel excited and good about the upcoming season," said Dennison.
" We are a nxious as we prepare for our o pener with Kent State Sept. 3."
Included among the 43 letterwinners returning a re 33 players who have
started at one time or another for the Zips - 16 on offense, 15 on defense and
two kicking specialists.
First-team All-OVC picks, tailbacks James Black and center Brian
Clark, both seniors, head up the offensive returnees. Black paced the OVC in
rushing last season, averaging I 32 yard s per game. All told, Black accumulated I , 188 yards rushing.

PROSPECTUS
APS U will rely on a combined sophomore and senior-dominated roster
of returning lettermen and starters when it opens its 1983 season in September

PROSPECTUS
Contrast may be the key word when thinking of prospects for Middle
Tennessee's 1983 football team.
The Blue Raiders' offensive unit can field an array of veteran players who
helped lead head coach Boots Donnelly's club to an 8-3 overall record last
season. The offensive platoon returns nine of 11 starters.
The situation is just reversed with the defensive unit. Nine of 11 starters
are gone from last year's aggregation that rated as one of the OVC's best in
recent years.
The passing game is one of Donnelly's primary concerns. "We want to
improve in every phase of our passing game," he said, "throwing, receiving
and in being able to do something with the ball after it's caught."
The placekicking should again be ably handled by junior Kelly Potter
who was a perfect 26-26 in PAT's in '82, while hitting on 13-27 field goal tries
for 65 points.
Eastern leads the series, 17-13-0.

PROSPECTUS
Jimmy Feix, who begins his 16th season at the Western Kentucky helm
this fall, had his team's deficiencies clearly in mind when spring drills began
last March. Although there were improvements to be made and big shoes to
fill, Western's veteran mentor appears to have come up with the answers.
The 'Toppers were 5-5-0 last year in the school's first campaign as an
independent since 1947. Looking to fill the shoes of departed Ralph Antone at
quarterback are talented sophomores Scott Travis and Justin Diel. Their
main targets will be sophomore Alan Mullins, a re-positioned Pat Houser at
flanker and tight end Mickey Lewis.
WK U's defense will be led by a talented trio of senior linebackers: first
team All-America Paul Gray, Walter York and Robert Ray. Tony Eatherly, a
senior, and Mike Hamilton, a junior, man the defensive ends and sophomore
Tommy Pace figures to be the starter at nose tackle.
Western leads the series, 32-23-2.

PROSPECTUS
It's a season of uncertainty for the Murray State Racers. Youth and inexperience at key positions has head coach Frank Beamer wondering just
what kind of team he'll have in 1983.
"We have some really good players in our program," said Beamer,
entering his third season as MS U head coach. "But it's still very much up in
the air as far as determining how good we can be, because we're dealing with
so many unknowns."
Offensively, the Racers have an all-star candidate in wide receiver Stan
Trice, who should supply a large part of Murray State's offense in 1983. Trice
was an AII-OVC pick last year (36 catches for 546 yards and three TD's).
The Racers' wide-tackle-six defense has several question marks on the
line. Jeff Lancaster, the school record-holder for career field goals with 22, is
back to handle placements, but the punting job is up for grabs between Lee
Alford and Albert Starnes.

PROSPECTUS
Thirty-seven lettermen return for first-year coach Gary Da rnell as TIU
tries to rebound from a 3-8 record in 1982.
Mark Powers, who threw for more tha n 1,000 yards last fall, will be out
to regain his starting jo b at quarterback but he' ll face an interesting challenge
by Tony Costantine, who surrendered the starting role with a broken leg in
the third game of the year. Also back to call signals are Brent Fisher, the OVC
Rookie of the Week one time, a nd Greg Maysonet.
Along with that battle in the backfield will be another contest for spots at
runningback. Allen Lawrence and Marvin McClenno n ( over 1,300 career
yards) head the list of returnees but junior college transfers Sylvester Gregory
and Randy Pippen could make a strong bid.
On defense, part-time starters John Edgington and Carey Heard at the
ends, Ma rk Ralston at tackle and Manny Michel at nosegua rd a re back.

PROSPECTUS
MS U head football coach Steve Lo ney is ho ping that his 3 1 returning
lettermen can provide the nucleus fo r success as the Eagles attempt to
improve o n last year's 5-6 record.
"We feel very good a bout o ur depth at our runningback positio ns," said
Loney, who d irected the Eagles to only their second five-win season in nine
years. "We a lso feel good about (wide receiver) Mark Ledfo rd and the many
things he does fo r our ba ll club.
"Our concerns right now are depth in our offensive line a nd at quarterback," added Lo ney. "Our incoming freshmen class will have to contribute in
those a reas as well as o n defense, where inexperience is ou r biggest concern."
MS U returns five sta rters from last year's defensive unit which ranked
14th nationa lly in total defense, including end Keith Curry, tackle Charlie
Franklin and guard Ray Winebrenner.
Eastern leads the series, 34-15-4.

PROSPECTUS
Florida A & M lost 11 starters from last year's team, many of
them at key positions and coming into the spring, questions about
how good the Rattlers might be in 1983 abounded.
F AMU has some exciting news for its fans: That "Rattler
Magic" Is Back!
Probably the most welcome news from the Rattlers' camp is
that senior tailback Greg "Magic" Fashaw, a 5-11, 170-pound,
slasher, sprinter-type, is back to spark the offense after missing a
season due to academic problems.
The quarterback spot will rest in the hands of junior Michael
Kelly. He played sparingly last season behind the departed Nate
Koonce, but during the spring, he displayed a wide range of passing
touches and an acquired flair for running the option and keeping the
ball to himself.
Catching the passes for F AMU will be a horde of receivers led
by All-American candidate Ray Alexander, a 6-5, 185-pound senior.
First game of the series.

Lynne Harvel
Head Coach
Robin Forhecz

Julie Theiler
�PROSPECTUS
The 1983 women's field hockey team is eagerly anticipating its 1983 season. Although only
six regular starters will be returning, last year's reserves are highly improved and a strong
recruiting effort has brought a great deal of new talent into the program. Competition for starting
posit ions will be fierce this year and throughout the season every player will be continually
challenged for their position.
"Plenty of hard work and concentration during the season will be needed to gel this young,
talented team," said EK U coach Lynne Harvel.
Mary Gavin with her cool head and sure stick will again be counted on for leadershi p in the
defense. The return of senior Kathy Boughton, sidelined with an injury in 1982, will add stability
to the defense, as will the return of junior An ne Daugherty's solid defensive play. Melissa Shore,
who added de pth to the squad last year, will be vying fora regula r starting berth in '83. Although
the defense will be comprised of seasoned personnel who have not yet played together, these
players' individual maturity will allow them to quickly learn to function as a unit.
Robin Forhecz, high scorer in 1982, will again lead the attack with the able assistance of
Julie Theiler, a superb passer who acts as the quarterback and virtua lly runs the attack. With the
much-improved play of Lynda Ransdell and Monica Storz, the attack will be exceptionally
aggressive, fast and strong. Goal production is the u ltimate objective and this strong forward line
s hould be able to produce.
Midfie ld will be dominated by Teresa Powell who will probably be moved to center link . A t
this position, Powell will be called upon to be a scoring threat on the attack and to be the core of
the defense. Junior college transfer Peggy P feiffer is expected to Oa nk Powell on the right, while
left link is up for grabs by the you ng recruits.
Goaltending honors will fa ll on the young shoulders of Siobhan Devlin. In her debut as a
starter, Devlin will see ple nty of action in the goalcage. Having had excellent off-season
experience, she should be ready to meet t he c hallenge.
Returnees Woodard, Thompson, Hamlin and Wilke wi ll each be competing for t heir first
starting assignments. T hese players cou ld provide EK U with some surprises when they return to
practice in the fall. Freshmen recruits are all expected to cha llenge for starting positions. "'These
are exceptiona lly talented young players who intend to start as freshmen," said Harvel. "Their
intensity may be the key to their success at earning a starting slot."
"This year's team is a combination of experience and raw talent. T he team is capable but
must work with intensity if it is to get off to a good start. As they gain experience individually and
as a team, they will become a balanced, smooth ly functioning team that can dominate play on the
field. In o rder to win, they must be capa ble of disciplining their boundless enthusiasm into
dedication and earnestness," Harvel added.

�EASTERN KENTUCKY UNIVERSITY
•
Growth - in quantity and quality - has been the theme at Eastern
Kentucky University. The quantity speaks for itself. With an enrollment of
more tha n 13,000 students, the University's student body has more than
tripled since I 960. As a result, new dormitories and large, well-equipped
academic structures have been built.
Dr. J. C. Powell will be completing his seventh year as president of the
University in October. Powell, the school's seventh president, succeeded Dr.
Robert R. Martin who served EKU in that position for 16¼ years.
At a 1978 Boa rd o f Regents meeting, Eastern was reorganized into nine
colleges and a graduate school. Five colleges - Applied Arts and
Technology, Business, Education, Law Enforcement and Allied Health and
Nursing - remained intact.
Four new colleges were created, including Natural and Mathematical
Sciences, Social and Behavioral Sciences, Arts and Humanities and Health,
Physical Education, Recreation and Athletics.
The masters degree is offered in several fields as is the specialist degree. A
joint doctoral program in education is sponsored in cooperation with the
University of Kentucky.
The physical plant has undergone building and renovation programs
tota ling more than$ 138 million since I 960. During this period every existing
major campus facility has been remodeled or completely reconstructed.

�CONFERENCE AFFILIATIONS
In 1941, foresighted men had visions of an
Ohio Valley Conference. Sportswriters 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 Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor
and America was plunged into 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. withdrew to form the Ohio Valley 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,
shortly thereafter, by Tennessee Tech and
Marshall College.
Purpose of the 0. V.C., which was 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.
The University of Akron and Youngstown State University joined the OVC in I97980.
Eastern also competes against other OVC
schools in a regular season schedule in
women's basket ball and tournaments in tennis
and volleyball. Championships are held also in
cross country and outdoor track.
Eastern ranks first in the Conference's alltime football standings with a 137-82-7 wonlost record. The Colonels have won six regular
season titles outright ('54, '67, '68, '74, '76, and
1981) and shared one title in 1962.
Eastern won the NCAA Division I-AA
national championship in 1979 and the NCAA
Mideast Regional Championship in 1967. The
Colonels finished as national runnersup in the
NCAA's I-AA Division in 1980 and 1981.
JIM DELANY
OVC COMMISSIONER
James Delany, a 34-year-old former NCAA
investigator, is serving his fourth year as
commissioner of the Ohio Valley Conference.
He succeeded Bob Vanatta as the OVC's
fourth commissioner.
The Succasunna, New Jersey, native became the youngest commissioner to serve the
conference. The other OVC commissioners
prior to Vanatta were Arthur Guepe and Paul
Dietzel.
Delany is a 1970 graduate of the University
of North Carolina where he played basketball
for coach Dean Smith'sTarheels from 1967-70
and served as co-captain on the 1969-70 squad.
Following graduation, Delany entered the
UNC Law School and served as an assistant
coach under Smith. He received his law degree
in 1973 before joining the NCAA staff.

��Football
Rice Bowl. The Colonels also start the 1982
season with a 25 game winning streak at their
home stadium, Hanger Field.
Eastern has also been ranked in the top
twenty in the nation by both wire service·polls,
having gone as high as No. I in 1979 and 1981.
Kidd's success comes from a combination
of demanding the ultimate in dedication and
determination, yet being a coach who is
respected by his players.
His ability to communicate with his
players stems from a realistic, matter-of-fact
attitude. He's genuinely concerned about each
individual as a player and as a student.
He has a brilliant football mind and is a
man who takes advantage of most situatio ns
and is not afraid to gamble. He is a n organizer
who has surrounded himself with a very
capable coaching staff.
All these ingredients point to the fact that
Roy Kidd is a winner. It all started for Kidd as
a little leaguer in Corbin, Ky., and he
continued on the plus side of the ledger as a
high school athlete and then as a football and
baseball star at Eastern.
When he was a graduate assistant coach,
Eastern went unbeaten and received an
invitation to the Tangerine Bowl. Then he
started coaching in high school, building tiny
Richmond Mad ison into a state football
powerhouse. He had a 54--10-1 record, a 27game winning streak and 14 consecutive
unscored-upon games. He was Kentucky
Coach of the Year in 1961 when the Purples
were ranked No. I 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 as an assistant for one year before
tak ing over the head job.
The Colonels went 3-5-1 his first year, o ne
of only two losing seasons he has had while
coaching. They improved that to 5-3-1 the
following year and Kidd was elected Coach of
the Year in the OVC.
Kidd is married to the former Susan
Purcell of Richmond. They have three
children: Marc, Kathy, and Keith.
ROY KIDD
Head Coach
'And the beat goes on .. .'
Sonny and Cher's old tune from the late
'60's could very well become Roy Kidd's theme
song as he embarks upon his 19th season at
EKU this fall.
Just like the song implies, Kidd's and
Eastern's 'beat' is setting new records and
going to national championship contests.
Kidd also was honored again in 198 1 as he
was selected the National Coach of the Year in
I-AA for the second straight year and the OVC
Coach of the Year. He was also recipient of
The Lexington Herald's 1981 Kentucky
Sportsman of the Year Award.
Noteworthy coaching achievements have
become a rule of thumb for Kidd during the
last four years. In 1978, he was credited with
his 100th collegiate coaching victory and, of
course, in 1979 he guided the Colonels to the
Division I-AA national c hampionship. EK U
finished l l-2 that latter year.
Then, in 1980, Kidd's Eastern team came
within 55 seconds of putting back-to back
national championships together, winning IO
games before losing to Boise State 31-29 on a
fourth-down pass in the na tional title contest.
The 1981 season saw Kidd, who has
compiled a 133-55-6 record at EK U, take his
Colonels to an unprecede nted third
consecutive national title game and a school
record 12-2 overall mark. T he Colonels. after
defeating Delaware and Boise State, fell to
Idaho State, 34-23, in the national finals.
During these past 18 years, Eastern has
captured a natio nal championship, two
natio nal runnersup trophies, five OVC
championsh ips, had an unbeaten string of 15
games in the league and won the 1967 NCAA
Mideast Regional Championship (covering
more than 100 teams in a IO-state area) by
defeating Ball State 27-13 in the Grantland

The Colonels will also employ the 1-2 pass receiving punch of senior flank er Steve Bird (511, 165) and juniortight end Tron Armstrong (6-I, 195), Eastern'stop two receivers in 198 I. Stats
for last season showed Bird with 26 catches for 550 yards and fourTD's, while Armstrong caught
24 passes for 392 yards.
Glenn Brooks, a 5-9, 169-pound senior split-end, will lend depth to the receiver slot ( 10-126).
Senior quarterback Tuck W oolum (5-11, 195) has the edge for getting the starting nod at
quarterback. In his backup role last season, Woolum hit 15-28 passes for 245 yards and two
touchdowns.
AII-OVC senior guard Chris Taylor (6-4, 236) will ease the pain oflosing two other AII-OVC
selections - guard Kevin Greve and tackle David Dihrkop - 10 graduation. The other starter
returning on the line in '82 is jun ior center Chris Sullivan (6-2 , 237). Mark Willoughby, 6-1, 240pound senior, has been moved from defensive tackle to offensive tackle.
Other lettermen returning in the offensive line include part-time sta rter. junior tackle
Benny Allen (6-1, 245); junior guard David Burry (6-l, 243);junior guard Mike Neal (6-2, 220);
and sophomore tackle Joe Spadafino (6-2, 240).
AII-OVC choices Alex Dominguez, a 6-0, 215-pound senior linebacker, and Randy Taylor. a
6-3, 235-pound senior tackle, head the list of returnees for the Colonels' defense. a unit which led
the league in team defense, yielding but 229 yards and 10 points per game during the regular
1982 season. Dominguez totaled 38 tackles and 49 assists, while Taylor collected 39-34.
The Colonels ' top tackler of the '81 season, junior linebacker David Hill (5-10, 205) will be
back along with senior linebacker Pete Jackson (5-9½, 192). Hill had 73 tackles and 61 assists,
while .Jackson collected 63-44.
Other starters returning on defense include 6-2, 220-pound senior end Richard Bell; 5-10,
225-pound junior noseguard Mike McShane; 6-J, 227-pound senior end Allen Young; and 511 ½ . 180-pound senior defensive back Gus Pa rks.
The kicking game fo r the Colonels should be in good shape as Eastern returns three
lettermen for these positions. Junior placekickcr J amie Lovett (5-8, 157), who set an Eastern
single-season kick-scoring record last year with 80 points. will be back for fie ld goals and extra
points. while senior Gary Nussbaum(5-9, 175) will handle the kickoff chores and backup EP-FG
duties. Senior punter Larry Sanders (6-1, 204) averaged 38.J yards per punt for the Colonels last
yea r a nd will battle junior Steve Rowe for that position.
Bell and Dominguez will handle the captain's duties for the defense, while Woolum and
Wil loughby will serve as offensive co-captains . R. Taylor a nd Yeast are alternates.
When Eastern hits the field Sept. 11 against Youngstown State, the Colonels will be
attem pting to extend their Hanger Field win s treak which stands at 25 in a row entering the 1982
season.
Eastern. who finished 12-2 overall and 8-0 in the OYC. a ppeared in the NCA A D ivision IAA na tional championship game for the third straight year. EKU won the national title in 1979
and finished as the runnersup in 1980 and 1981.

PROSPECTUS
A fine recruiting year should enable South Carolina State to offset the
loss of 13 lettermen, a_!llong them JO starters.
In addition to having to find replacements for three of four starters in the
defensive secondary, the Bulldogs will also need to fill a defensive end slot;
however, the linebacker corps returns intact and reserves and recruits should
help fill the void in the secondary.
Offensively, the Bulldogs will be without two of its top blockers and both
wide receivers. The S.C. State backfield, led by All-American fullback
Anthony Reed and former All-American Henry Odom, should be strong
again. Reed rushed for 933 yards and eight TD's, while Odom accounted for
468 yards rushing and IO touchdowns.
Quarterback Desmond Gatson, who missed the last five games with a
shoulder separation, completed 27-76 passes for 562 yards and five TD's and
will return for his senior year.
Eastern leads the series, 1-0.

PROSPECTUS
For the first time in 44 years, the YSU Penguins will be playing their
home games on "home" turf when dedication of the new Arnold D.
Stambaugh Sports Complex and Stadium takes place this fall. And with that
dedication comes a grueling and more challenging schedule than ever before.
The Penguins are coming off an outstanding 7-4-0 record in 1981 and a
tie for second place in the OVC. All but five starters return for coach Bill
Narduzzi's team in 1982 including standout tailback Paris Wicks. Wicks
rushed for more than 1,300 yards and posted the most points in a single game
(32) in the NCAA I-AA stats last year.
The biggest competition could come at the quarterback spot where as
many as five hopefuls will try their luck at winning a starting job. Last year's
starter Jamie DeVore will have the inside track, but will be challenged by
freshmen Mike Hall, Jon Karnuth and Ralph DePasco and returning veteran
Mike Sloe.
Eastern leads the series, 6-4-0.

PROSPECTUS
Shortly after the 1981 Akron football season ended, head coach Jim
Dennison was heard to say, "I believe the winning habit has returned."
Dennison was referring to the Zips' four victories over the last five games of
'81.
"Defensively, we return nine starters and feel we will be improved," said
Dennison. "It is essential we find a couple of outside linebackers." UA did,
however, lose two-time All-American linebacker Brad Reese, the Zips' top
tackler for four seasons.
The key to an effective offense, as it has been for the last three seasons,
will be finding the individual who can direct the Zip attack. Junior Ron Gliha
is the top candidate but must recover from knee surgery. Also of concern is at
wide receiver where UA lost both starters James White and Pat Snow and at

PROSPECTUS
Coming off a winning season for the first time since the fall of 1973,
MTSU heads into the 1982 campaign with a great deal of confidence and
enthusiasm.
"It is a good feeling to have that winning record behind us to build on,"
said fourth-year head coach Boots Donnelly. "Our players have a new feeling
about themselves and their team. This is something we've been building on
since we came here in I 979."
Sixteen seniors will head Donnelly's corps this season, most of whom
were recruited in the head mentor's first year at MTSU. Among his returnees
are four-All-OVC first team selections from last year -defensive end Dennis
Mix, defensive tackle Emanuel Toles, free safety James Griffin, and placekicker Kelly Potter.
MTS U returns IO starters on defense and nine on offense for the '82 year.
Eastern leads the series, 16-13-0.

PROSPECTUS
With 16 starters back in uniform, coach Jimmy Feix is looking for his
1982 WK U football team to have an experienced nucleus around which to
build a winner in the school's first campaign as an independent since I 947.
Western, 6-5 overall in '81, has joined the Sun Belt Conference, which
does not sponsor a football championship, and will now have to rely on its
position in the NCAA Division I-AA poll to earn a post-season playoff berth.
Headlining a list of outstanding returnees are All-OVC standouts Paul
Gray (who led the OVC last year in tackles) and John Newby (who led the
OVC while setting a school record for pass receiving). Also, in the backfield,
WKU returns quarterback Ralph Antone, who led the OVC in 1981 with,s1
.525 pass completion percentage while throwing for 1,356 yards.
Strong safety Reginald Johnson, who led the 'Toppers with five interceptions last fall, and senior cornerback Davlin Mullen will help Gray on
defense.
Western leads the series, 32-22-2.

PROSPECTUS
Murray State expects to field a serious OVC contender in football this
fall. "Yes, we feel we're going to be in the championship chase this season,"
says second-year head coach Frank Beamer.
Beamer will enter 1982 with 38 lettermen, including 13 starters from last
year's 8-3 team that shared second place in the OVC standings. Also back are
four defensive regulars who were redshirted last year after missing all or most
of the season with injuries.
"Instant" Winston Ford, who served the past two years as an understudy
to Gino Gibbs, should get the opportunity to test his cannon-like arm at
quarterback in 1982. ¥arcus Moss and Ellery Moreland emerged as the top
tailback candidates from the spring.
All-American end Glenn Jones is healthy once again after missing last
year with an injury as the Racer defense yielded but six TD's rushing in I981.
Eastern leads the series, 20-16-4.

PROSPECTUS
"I have more eagerness about the upcoming season than at any time in
the last four years. We will be equipped to compete with almost anyone on our
schedule, and I haven't felt that way since 1977," said TTU coach Don Wade.
With a strong finish which netted a 6-5 record and a fourth-place tie in
the OVC race last year, a sound winter workout program, and the healthy
return of highly experienced offensive and defensive units, Wade's
enthusiasm is easily understandable.
Returning to call signals for TTU is junior Tony Costantine, who
finished the I 98 I season as the second-leading passer in the OVC with 1,321
yards and 11 TD's. The Tech running game will center around senior Reggie
Bazel, whom Wade called the best all-purpose back in the OVC.
The interior defensive line was the most surprising area of play for TTU
last year with noseguard Manny Michel leading the way with 82 tackles.
Eastern leads the series, 24-14-1.

Even though the 1982 football season for the University of Central
Florida Fighting Knights marks their fourth campaign, it's actually another
new beginning for the rising program. This season will be UCF's first at the
Divisio n II level, after compiling a 14-12-1 record in three years of Division
III competition.
First-year head coach Sam Weir has his squad on an off-season weight
training program to prepare t he Fighting Knights for the toughest schedule
in their young history.
UCF's team speed has improved I00 per cent as it gets set to begin the '82
year. There should be excellent depth on this coming season's team, as
evidenced by 33 lettermen returning, I 9 of whom held a starting spot during
1981.

PROSPECTUS
Experience will be the key to MSU Football Coach Steve Loney's hopes
of reversing the Eagles' disappointing season a year ago. MSU claimed only
one victory in 10 outings last season, but Loney will look to the experience of
39 returning lettermen, including 23 seniors, to reverse last season's outcome.
Senior linebacker Danny Gooch heads the list of 21 returning defensive
lettermen. The 5-11, 223-pounder established four MSU defensive records as
a sophomore and was credited with 50 tackles in just four games last season
before his season was shortened by a knee injury.
Loney will have three talented quarterbacks to choose from in senior
Don Reeves, sophomore Mike Hanlin and senior Jeff Richards. Reeves led
the OVC in passing last season, completing 87-167 passes for 990 yards in nine
games.
MSU returns all but one regular in the offensive line. Junior David
Thurkill will anchor the tight end spot with tackle Steve Pytel, guard Mike
Ealey and center Dean Copeland providing leadership in the line.
Eastern leads the series, 33-15-4.

four Bulldog turnovers to shutout the team
that was ranked No. I in Division I-AA most
of the 1980 season.
Fullback Nicky Yeast led the Colonels'

rushing for a school record 293 yards in just
17 carries and scoring four times on jaunts of

For 12 Eastern seniors, the end of the 1981 season had drawn the curtain
on an outstanding four years of football. During this period, Eastern had won

For the Colonel athletes, the coaches, the administration and faculty and
the thousands of EK U students, alumni and fans, during the four-year period
of I 978-81 , Eastern football had truly become ... a matter of pride!

1982 PROSPECTUS
Bobby Seaholm, 1982 Ohio Valley Con ference Coach of the Year, has high hopes for his
1982-83 EK U golf team. Led by three AII-OVC choices - Pat Stephens and T im Duignan of '82
and Kelly Finney in '8 1 - Eastern should be a top contender for a repeat performance of taking
the OVC championship nag.
"We're expecting a good year a nd are going to work hard toward a consecutive OVC title
and a berth in the NCAA Tourney," said Seaholm.
S tephens, a senior from Richmond's Madison Central High School, was the 1982 OVC
Golfer of the Year by virtue of his 12-stroke individual victory in the OVC tourney. His teammate, Duigna n, was runnerup.

and a third place finish in AIA W Region II. The team posted Division I victories over Miami
(Ohio), Southern Illinois-Carbondale, Duke and Louisville, as welJ as wins over Big Ten rivals,
Ohio State, Purdue and Indiana.
While outscoring their opponents 2-1, Eastern was shut out only once in 21 games, "Their
outstanding success with the tough 1981 schedule is a credit to the team's confidence and their
abilities," said EKU head coach Lynne Harvel.
With the return of eight starters (three of whom attended "B" camp in 1981), the 1982
Eastern squad should be exceptionalJy strong. EK U's link positions, for the fourth straight year,
will be filJed by Carole Ann Lankford and Lisa Loran, who both serve as the backbone of
Eastern's solid defense and as the spark for the high scoring attack. Veteran goalkeeper Suzanne
Hastings will continue to direct the defense, while Wilma Howard, Robin Forhecz and Julie
Theiler will again lead Eastern's welJ-balanced attack - an attack which was shut out only once
in 21 games in 1981.
Sophomores Theresa Powell and Mary Gavin will be the veterans of the backfield - a
young defense which will be rounded out by the addition of freshmen recruits Mary Beth Brown,
Monica Storz and Siobhan Devlin. Devlin will be challenging for the top goalkeeping spot. Vicki
Woodard, Terri Johnson, Kathleen Boughton and Linda Ransdell will continue to bring the
team depth as they work toward earning starting spots.
"With this exceptionally talented group of returning seniors, this year's squad should be our
strongest ever," said Harvel. "A combination of experience, depth and teamwork will
characterize this team. The biggest concern will be the young defensive unit, but with the
leadership of senior goalkeeper Hastings, we expect this unit to solidify early in the season. Our
experienced, power-packed, high-scoring attack should balance out the early season's lack of
experience on the part of our defense. We are facing a challenging schedule but are optimistic
about our chances because of the team's poise and confidence it has shown in recent seasons."

1982 PROSPECTUS
The challenge of 1982 will be to improve on its previous season's performance of a 36-11
record. Eight upperclassmen will form the nucleus for that effort with contributions also coming
from two talented sophomores, Lori Courtney and Char Gillespie. An untested talented group of
new recruits will round out the 1982-83 Colonel squad.
Eastern has student athletes from seven different states as well as Canada. The blending of
different playing styles, plus the strength of communication and respect for individual
experiences will be instrumental to the success of the team.
The schedule has been planned with the objective of advancing to yet another level of
competitive competence. It will test the 1982 squad in every phase of the season with a hopeful
final outcome of developing a team that will be competitive in post-season championship play.
The 1982 Colonel squad will provide the 16th action-filled year of volleyball at EKU.
TOP RETURNING PLAYERS
Deanne Madden - has shown leadership in the middle blocking position which should key
the EK U defensive strength. Her poise and maturity and ability to demoralize the opponent with
a blistering attack or a stuff block makes Deanne an exciting competitor.
Lori Duncan - adds a critical aspect to the team's tempo with her offensive and defensive
quickness. Her leadership skills are demonstrated on the court by her intelligent play and
amazing ability to concentrate.
Char Gillespie - adds an element of steadiness to the team resulting in good play during
critical moments. Her effectiveness is found in her quick competitiveness and efforts.
Ramona McGovern - gets the team through the annoying, sticky points of the competition
with her competitiveness and consistent efforts. Her concern for all members of the team adds to
the cohesiveness so essential to the total effort.
Joan Messerknecht - is a poised and intelligent competitor with lots of court savvy. Her
support of her teammates during the competitive effort makes Joan a valued team member.

1982 PROSPECTUS
Losing five players to graduation means the 1982-83 academic year will be a rebuilding year
for the netters. Assisting tha t project will be three incoming freshmen - Debbie Guenther, Chris
Hulbauer and Jeannie Waldron - which promise additional depth in doubles, as well as singles.
All of these young players have had tournament experience and good high school records.
Hulbauer was ranked as high as 36th in the United States this past summer.
The fall schedule, abbreviated in comparison to previous years, will provide the means of
gaining individual and team experience prior to the spring season and the Ohio Valley
Conference Tournament, which has become the annual highlight competitively.

EASTERN KENTUCKY UNIVERSITY
Growth - in quantity and quality - has been the theme at Eastern
Kentucky University. The quantity speaks for itself. With an enrollment of
more than 14,000 students, the University's student body has more than
tripled since 1960. As a result, new dormitories and large, well-equipped
academic structures have been built.
Dr. J.C. Powell will be completing his sixth year as president of the
University in October. Powell, the school's seventh president, succeeded Dr.
Robert R. Martin who served EKU in that position for 16¼ years.
At a 1978 Board of Regents meeting, Eastern was reorganized into nine
colleges and a graduate school. Five colleges - Applied Arts and
Technology, Business, Education, Law Enforcement and Allied Health and
Nursing - remained intact.
Four new colleges were created, including Natural and Mathematical
Sciences, Social and Behavioral Sciences, Arts and Humanities and Health,
Physical Education, Recreation and Athletics.
The masters degree is offered in several fields as is the specialist degree. A
joint doctoral program in education is sponsored in cooperation with the
University of Kentucky.
The physical plant has undergone building and renovation programs
totaling more than $138 million since 1960. During this period every existing
major campus facility has been remodeled or completely reconstructed.

�CONFERENCE
AFFILIATIONS
In I94 1, fo resighted men had visions of an
Ohio Valley Conference. Sportswriters speculated about the impending division of the
Kentucky I ntercollegiate Athletic Conference. Virtually all agreed it was just a matter of
time until t he divis ion took place and a new
a thletic conference was fo rmed.
Then the J apanese bo mbed Pearl Harbor
and America was plunged int o World War II.
Seven years later, after the hostilit ies had
ceased, a pre-war dream became a post-war
reality. The "Big Five" of the K .l. A.C.
withdrew to form the Ohio Valley Confe rence.
Making the move were Weste rn Ke ntucky
S tate College, Eastern Kentucky S tate
College, Murray State College, M orehead
State College and the University of Louisville.
They were joined by Evansville College and,
shortly thereafter, by Tennessee Tech and
M arshall Col lege.
Purpose of the 0. V .C., w hich was set forth
in its constitution, is "to regulate, control and
,promote all the recognized branches of
intercollegiate athletics in inst itut ions represented ."
Through a gradual process, t he Ohio Valley
Con ference was to become a league of
Kent ucky and T ennessee state colleges.
Midd le Tennessee S tate College joined the
rol ls in 1952, East T e nnessee State University
in 1957 and Austin Peay State College in the
spring o f 1962. They replaced Louisville,
which became an independent in 1949, and
M arshall and Evansville, which departed in
1952.
T he University of Akron and You ngstown State Un iversity joined the OVC in I97980.
Eastern's women's teams are members of
the 22-school Kentucky Women's Intercollegiate Conference. K WIC is the official
athletic confere nce for all recognized women's
collegiate programs in Kentucky.
K WIC cond ucts state to urna ments for
college women in basket ba ll, cross country,
field hockey, gymnastics, tennis, track and
field and volleyball a nd is the recognized
affiliate of the national organization, the
Associat ion of Intercollegiate Athletics for
Women (A IA W).
Eastern a lso competes aga inst other OVC
schools in a regular season schedule in
basketball and t ourna ments in te nnis and
volleyball. Championships are held also in
cross count ry and outdoor track.
Eastern ranks first in the Co nference ·s alltime football standings with a 129-82-7 wonlost record . The Colonels have won five
regular season titles outright ('54, '67, '68, '74
and '76) and shared nnc title in 1962.
Eastern won the NCAA Division I-AA
national champions hip in 1979 and t he NCAA
Mideas t Regional Championship in 1967. The
Colonels fin is hed as national runnersup in the
NCAA 's I-AA Division last yea r.

�1981 FOOTBALL PROSPECTUS
..
The 1981 edition of the NCAA Division I-AA national runner-up Eastern Kentucky
University football team returns 31 lettermen from last year's squad which came within 55
seconds of producing a second consecutive national championship. (The Colonels lost 31-29 to
Boise State in the I-AA finals last year, after winning the national title in that division in 1979.)
Headi ng the list of returnees for EK U head coach Roy Kidd, who will be beginning his 18th
season at the helm oft he Colonels and who was chosen as Chevrolet's 1980 NCAA Division I-AA
national coach of the year, will be senior All-Americans George Floyd and Kevin Greve.
Floyd , a 5- 11 senior defensive back who was named to the first-team Kodak and Associated
Press I-AA All-American teams, was also the recipient of the 1980 Ohio Valley Conference's
Most Valuable Player on Defense trophy. He finished as the third leading tackler on the team (7332) and tied with second-team All-OVC defensive back Rodney Byrd for the league's interception
lead with five .
Greve, a 6-1, 240-pound offensive guard, was a second-team All-A merican pick by AP in
1980 as he and his offensive line cohorts led EK U to its eighth straight 2,000-yard rushing season
(2,662 yds. and 31 rushing TD's).
Other returning linemen in the offensive line include senior tackle David Dihr,kop, junior
guard C hris Taylor, and junior center-tackle Steve Coleman.
Second-team AII-OVC quarterback Chris Isaac, a 5-11 senior, finished last season in a flurry
and was the only quarterback in the OVC to hit 50 or more percent of his passes. Isaac hit 92-177
(.520) passes for 1,318 yards and seven TD's, while running the ball I 31 times for 302 yards and
seven TD's.
Isaac's main targets for the '8 1 season will be senior flanker Jerry Parrish ( 19 catches for 254
yards and one TD in I 980);junior split end Steve Bird ( 18-316-3); senior tight end Cris Curtis ( 17213-2); junior tight end T ron Armstrong (4-55-0); and senior flanker Rana rd McPhaul (8-79-0).
Parrish also led the nation in kickoff returns with his 25.1 average.
Senior tailback Tony Braxton and junior fullback Nicky Yeast head the list of returning
rushers for the Colonels. Braxton led Eastern last year with 800 yards rushing on 15 I carries and a
team-high IO TD's. Yeast collected 143 yards o n 42 carries and two touchdowns.
Other runners who contributed to the Colonels' offense which led the league in scoring with
their 25.5 per game mark and who will return in 1981 arc sophomore tailbacks Terence
Thompson and Ed Hairston and sophomore fullback Jon Sutkamp.
The defensive line, where four of the five starters were lost through graduation, will be
perhaps the biggest area needing rebuilding. Junior defensive tackle Mark Willoughby is the lone
starter returning, but he should receive ample help from junior Allen Young, and Richard Bell at
end, juniors Randy Taylor and Bobby Woods at tackle and sophomores Rich Francioni and
Mike McShane and senior Henry Robinson at noseguard.
The linebacking corps returns intact, including second team AII-OVC junior Alex
Dominguez, sophomores David Hill and Mike Bobek a nd junior Mike Wagers. Dominguez and
Hill finished the season as Eastern's top two tacklers with 90-60 and 71-74 tackles and assists,
respectively.
Floyd and Byrd head a defensive backfield which lost only one player through graduation.
Returnees include junior Cliff McCullough, seniors Tom White a nd Frank Hardin, junior Gus
Parks and sophomores Mike Mims, Gabriel Lewis and Bryan Robinson.
Defensively last season, Eastern yielded but 289 yards of total offense and 13.3 points pe r
game, while tieing the school record for interceptions it had set in 1979 of 22.
Eastern compiled a 10-3 overall and 5-2 OVC mark in 1980.

PROSPECTUS
Head coach Bill Narduzzi and his troops will carry a sound reputation
for football excellence on the Division II level as members of the MidContinent Conference into their new role as full-fledge participants in the
OVC and as a Division I-AA football team.
YS U returns 31 lettermen from a team that suffered through a disappointing 2-8-1 campaign a year ago. Sophomore Mike Sloe will handle the
quarterback duties, while completing 25-64 passes for 291 yards. The
Penguins do return some experience in both runningback slots with Paris
Wicks and Vic Seglie leading the hunt for the starting positions.
On the defensive side of the ball, YSU returns a wealth of experience in
many positions, but are hurting in one particular area, the defensive
secondary where three starters were lost. The strength of the defense can be
found at linebacker where co-captain Jeff Gergel and Joe Schartner return.
Eastern leads the series, 5-4-0.

George Welsh

Eddie Meyers
Tailback
When Navy concluded s pring drills. it was readily apparent to coach George Welsh that the
M idshipmen were capable again o f presenting a solid defensive u nit
he docs have seven
starters returning from last year's defense that fin ished sixth best in the country.
Conversely, Welsh will have to resolve a number of problems relating to the offense ifhe is to
sustain the success the Mids have enjoyed the past three years (a 24-11 record and two bowl
appearances).
The highly rcspecred and innovative Welsh has 22 returning lettermen, includ ing AllAmerica prospects in middle guard Tim J o rdan. runningback Eddie Meyers and placekicker
Steve Fehr. Also on hand are a sound defensive end corps and a fine group of defensive
secondary performers.
The question marks on offense lie with the line and wide receiver, where injuries hampered
d evelopment. and depth at runningback.

PROSPECTUS
To head coach Jim Dennison, the 1980 season was a new experie nce.
"Last year wasn't too kind to us," said Denniso n who suffered his first
losing season since taking over the Zip football fortunes in I 973.
"We'll have 32 lettermen returning, 19 who were starters, a strong senior
class for leadership and we've had two excellent recruiting classes," Dennison
said .
According to Dennison, UA's gridiron strengths are at inside and outside
linebacker, the defensive interior, the offensive line and at fullback and
tailback.
There's no question, the leader of the Zip defense is inside li nebacker
Brad Reese. The first team All-Ohio Valley Conference a nd two-time AllAmerican has paced the Zips in tackles the last three campaigns. O n offense,
its senior tai lback Dennis Brumfield, the OVC's leading rusher in '80, who
should pace Akron.
Akron leads the series, 3-2-0.

C harles T ucker
Offensive Tackle
PROSPECTUS
Coach Emory Hale, who begins his first year at the helm of the Austin
Peay Governors, finds himself in the need for several key offensive
performers, since most of the top backs and receivers were lost through
graduation.
Gone from the APSU team that won six of its last seven contests a nd
finished with a 7-4 overall and 5-2 league record are the 1980 OYC Offensive
Player of the Year in quarterback Sonny Defillippis and the league's top
receiver in Steve Puthoff. Tailback Cosmo Cochra n also grad uated.
While Austin Peay was leading the league in offense (353.5 yards per
game), the Gov defense was finishing second in league stats to Murray State.
Hale must also work to replace three outstanding stars on this unit - tackles
Richard Wozniak and Tim Hickey and end Brett Williams.
Junior second-team All-OVC offensive tackle Charles Tucker (6-5, 228)
will head the returnees on APSU's offensive line.

Entering his third year at the head of the MTSU program, Raider boss
Boots Donnelly says his 1981 squad will be improved and tougher.
Out of 43 lettermen on the 1980 unit, Donnelly has 38 returning to the
fold. The biggest loss was senior kicker Gerald Robinson, who handled the
Raiders' field goal and extra point duties all last season.
Offensively, 17 lettermen return, headed by versatile runningback
Sammy Bryant and junior quarterback Brown Sanford. Bryant led MTS U in
rushing with a 63.5 yard average per game and in pass receiving with a mark of
24.4 yards per contest. Sanford, who suffered arm problems last year,
averaged 111.7 yards passing and 8.3 yards rushing per game last year.
Defensively, the Blue Raiders return 21 lettermen. That unit will sport an
even-front look in 1981, having switched to this formation late last season.
Eastern leads the series, 15-13-0.

PROSPECTUS
It would be easy to overlook the Flyers in '8 1 if it were not for the quality
of the returning sta rters a nd experienced reserves who will be wearing the Red
and Blue. Thanks to an average margin of just over 3 1 points a game, Dayto n
backups were ab le to gain 15 to 30 minutes of playing time in almost every
game last year.
Head ing the list of experienced rese rves is qua rterback J on Vorpe. He
scored four to uchdowns in the last two playoff games, including the game
winner in the 28-24 come-from-behind win over Widener.
The offensive front for U D is solid with returning sta rters at four s pots,
including tackles Fred Do micone and La rry Armstrong, guard J oe Beck and
tight end Kirk Ambrose.
The defense is headed by end Chris Chaney, a Division II I All-American
choice in 1980, a nd two-time ho norable mentio n All-American linebacker
Mark Hufford.
The series is tied 3-3-0.

T he Hilltoppers will be returning 16 starters from last year's 9-1 o utfit,
including all but one regular fro m the defense that yielded o nly 12 points a

PROSPECTUS
New Murray State football coach Frank Beamer believes his biggest
challenge will be "to find replacements for the 19 lettermen who played a
major role in our best back-to-back seasons in history."
The Racer defense, which has led the conference and ranked high
nationally in team statistics the past two seasons, is the focus of concern with
12 lettermen, including seven starters, missing from last season 's successful
unit.
MSU has three all-conference performers back in defensive end Glenn
Jones, linebacker Donald White and cornerback Greg Evans. The Racers led
Division I-AA in scoring defense last season as the Racers yielded just 9.1
points an outing. The stingy Murray defense, in fact, allowed just three
touchdowns in the first seven games.
Quarterback Gino Gibbs, who ranked second in passing and total
offense in the OVC last season, heads an impressive cast of backfield regulars
returning.
Eastern leads the series, 19-16-4.

PROSPECTUS
The 1981 season is a wait-and-see one for Tennessee Tech.
If the personnel mesh early in the season, the Golden Eagles could be in
the running for an upper division finish in the OVC. However, to mesh
properly, the offensive line must improve in terms of strength and the
defensive line and linebackers must come of age. The skill positions appear to
be in fine shape.
Quarterback Tony Constantine, tailback Marvin McClennon and
fu llback Reggie Bazel enjoyed an excellent spring. The receiving corps, while
not a flashy one, is adequate, with junior Paul Selesky heading the list
provided he completely recovers from knee surgery.
The defensive secondary is the most experienced unit on the defensive
team as cornerbacks Tony Panebianco and Tony C hatman lead the way.
Eastern leads the series, 23-14-1.

Lettermen Returning - 37
PROSPECTUS
Coach Steve Loney has 37 lettermen returning from last season's 4-7
team that lost four of its games by four points or less last year.
Defensively, the question mark has to be how the Eagles will react to
playing a new 4-4 defense. All-OVC linebacker Dan Gooch returns at
linebacker after setting a new MS U record for most tackles in one season last
year. Other key defensive personnel include tackle Ron Hardee and e nd Billy
Goldsmith.
On offense, it will be up to Laney's staff to replace MS U 's now departed
"Mr. Everything", Dorron Hunter, an All-OVC tailback. Heading the list of
candidates for that job are seniors Marcus Johnson and Dwight Yarn and
so phomore Brian Shimer. Junior Don Reeves will be back at qua rterback,
while the offensive line will be anchored by 6-4, 262-pound senior tackle
David Phillips, a transfer from Ohio State. More head State has also moved 62, 237-pound David Thurkill from tight end to fullback.
Eastern leads the series, 32-15-4.

The Eastern Kentucky University Colonels, under the direction of third-year head coach
Rick Erdmann, return but two lettermen from the 1980 team that placed third in the annual Ohio
Valley Conference championships.
"Although the team has a number of upperclassmen, it will still lack cross cou ntry running
experience," said Erdman n. " Lakes and Crowley are the o nly returning lettermen, so hopefully,
the team will gain experience as the season progresses."
Highlighting the 1981 schedule for the Colonels are appearances in the Marsha ll, Indiana
a nd Kentucky invitational meets, in additio n to the OVC championship meet at M urray.

1981 PROSPECTUS
The 1981 season will be a rebuilding one for the women's cross country team at Eastern.
Several of the runners graduated and the incoming freshmen and returning sophomores will have
to carry the load.
Maria Pazarentzos, Barb Fennell and Karen Haden - all sophomores - showed great
improvement through their freshmen season. Pazarentzos finished the outdoor season by
placing second in the 1,500-meter and 3,000-meter runs and third in the 800-meter run at the
OVC championship meet. Haden worked her time down 30 seconds in the 1,500-meters and had
similar improvement in the 3,000-meter run.
Eastern's success in 1981 could be determined by its successes in recruiting. Lisa Renner, a
sister to fo rmer EKU runner Vicki Renner (1976-80), will be one of coach Sandy Martin's
freshmen runners.

1981 PROSPECTUS
With the return of nine of 11 starters a nd the addition of two outstanding young recruits and
two seasoned veteran recruits, the 1980 defending KWIC champio n Ea stern Kentucky Colonels
sho uld be ready for their 1981 schedule. This year's experienced roster includes five sen iors, seven
j uniors, five sophomores and two freshmen.
A combining of maturity and experience, coupled with burning intensity, should make this
squad's off-season motto of"wait till next year" a true prediction of a successful 1981 season. T he
1981 schedule includes the strongest competition in A IAW Regions II and V.
In 1981, the attack will be led by ju nior Wilma Howard from Louisville who broke into the
1980 starting li neup and then proceeded to lead the team in scoring. Howard will be ably assisted
by another Louisville standout, Laura Purdy, who last season secured the KWI C championship
with her game winning goal in the second half.
The right side of the line will be dominated by Debbie Wright and Robin Forhecz. W right's
determined style of play is characterized by aggressive cutting and decisive scoring. Forhecz, the
you ngster of the attack lineup, will be expected to produce an abundance of goals with her
superior q uickness and her deadly drive. The line will a lso be strengthened by the addition of
experienced transfers such as Julie Theiler and Kathleen Boughton.
The two mid-field spots will again be filled with the experienced duo of Lisa Loran and
Carole Ann Lankford. These veterans have played together for two years with Loran 's qu ick,
spontaneous play balanced by Lank ford 's qu iet stability. Both will combine to control play in the
mid-field and to break into the attack fo r additional scoring punch.
The defensive unit will be a combination of sea soned maturity and raw youth. Returning
defenders include seniors Jean Dickson a nd T heresa Lang who will provide much needed
leadership to the young defense. Sophomore Anne D augherty, with one year of exp.erience under
her belt, should add spark lo the defense with her uncanny ability to intercept. In 1981, these
athletes will be joined by freshmen players T heresa Powell and Mary Gavin.
Goalkeeping honors will fall into the capa ble hands of third-year keeper Suzanne Hastings.
Hastings, who ra nked seventh in the nation in percent saves for 1980, wi ll add stability and
confidence to the backfield.
T his past summer, Hastings, Loran, Howa rd, Lankford , Forhecz, Daugherty and Gavin
attended try-outs for the United States Olympic Field Hockey team. These players' experiences
in the US FHA Olympic Development program should give the squad a good start for its 198 1
season.

1981 PROSPECTUS
The 1980-81 rifle season, which saw coach Nelson Beard's EKU team finish fourth in the
nation, was Eastern's most successful rifle season ever.
"We're looking forwa rd to repeating our efforts of last season with high hopes and a strong
possibility of taking the national championship," said Beard. "Our shooters seem more anxious
than ever of competing and winning."
Senior Daniel Durben, an NCAA first team All-American smallbore a nd air rifle team
member last year, heads the list of returnees along with NCAA second team All-American air
rifle team members, Karen Long and Kim Floer.

1981 PROSPECTUS
Having lost the No. 2 and No. 3 players to graduation, the 1981-82 team will depend heavily
on returning players to anchor both ends of the lineup. New team members Susan Wilson and
Kristi Spangenberg will resolve the matter of what position each will play when they arrive on
campus.
Wilson, from Gainesville, Fla., is a transfer who also played on the No. 2 ranked University
of Florida tennis team. Spangenberg, who has been especially successful in doubles competition,
won two stale titles during her high school career.
"We expect both players to help continue the team's efforts to be proficient competitively
with K WIC and OVC rivals," said Dr. Mullins.

�LETTERS/ A WARDS
Mary Kathleen Rieger - Outstanding Sportswoman, Volleyball, 1980; Laurie Briggs Suburban Trib All-Star, Outstanding Sophomore and Junior in Physical Education at EKU;
Sandy Carrel - All-Conference; Lori Courtney - Marion County All-Star; Lori Duncan AIAW Region II All-Star, 1980; Charlotte Anne Gillespie - First Team All-State PINA
Championships (1980, 1981), All-Star in several tournaments; Kelly Jo Irwin - Nominated
FCA Athlete of the Year; Deanne Madden - K WIC All-State, AJA W Region II All-Star
(1980); Ramona McGovern - All-Conference; Joan Messerlmecht- Player of the Year in the
Mid-State League; Nancy Stoeckle - KWIC All-State, 1978, 1980.
1981 PROSPECTUS
The 1981 women's volleyball season at EKU will be one of the most challenging in the
history of the fifteen year program. Loaded with talent and the momentum of success, Eastern
has the potential to challenge the top schools in volleyball. The team will be led by seven
upperclassmen whose experience will maintain the team's goal to realize its full potential. Equally
sharing in this task will be seven sophomores and freshmen.
The team will face a tough schedule which includes the eighth annualEKU Invitational, the
Michigan State International Invitational and the Pitt Invitational, a late addition to the
schedule which will include the top teams in volleyball in the East.
The 1981 season promises to be exciting and action-filled. "The outcome of this season will
be reflected in the success of the team to achieve a well-trained cohesive and flexible singular unit,
while sustaining the importance of the individual effort," said Dr. Geri Polvino, EK U head
coach.
TOP RETURNING PLAYERS
Laurie Briggs - has emerged as the team's top setter. She runs the team's 5-1 multiple
offense. Her leadership and judgement on the court provides the essential ingredients for team
cohesion and success. Laurie was the recipient of the Outstanding Sophomore and Junior in
Physical Education award at EKU.
Deanne Madden - is the team's leading middle blocker. An ability to read the setter and
hitter makes Deanne an imposing threat in closing out the opponents' multiple attack. She was
the recipient of the KWIC All-State and AIAW Region II Awards.
Lori Duncan - is the team's leading competitor. An opponent must beat Lori as she seldom
makes mistakes to beat herself. Her aggressive attack and all-around skills earned her the AIA W
Southern Region All-Star team award.
Nancy Stoeckle - was the recipient of the KWIC All-State Award for the 1978 and 1980
seasons. She is one of two players in the history of the award to be recognized twice. Nancy isan
aggressive outside hitter and her serving is also tough. She has served as the team's captain for
two years.

1981 PROSPECTUS
Headed by All-OYC returnees Kelly Finney (tied for third place in the spring OYC tourney
with a 216) and Dave Sironen (an eighth place tie with a 220), the Colonels will field a rather
young outfit in 1981-82 with but two seniors and two juniors on the Colonels' unit.
After winning the golf title in conference play in 1980, Eastern dropped to a fourth place spot
this past April. However, Finney, who led the team last fall with a 73.89 average, and Sironen,
who carded a 74.25 mark in the '80 fall, should provide a solid nucleus from which to build
another OYC contender.
One strong addition to the Colonels' squad will be that of Pat Stephens, a local player who
played at Madison Central High School and later for the University of Kentucky, who will
become eligible this fall after sitting out his transfer year.

1979 ... A YEAR TO BE REMEMBERED BY COLONEL
FOOTBALL FANS
Head coach Roy Kidd and his Eastern Colonels reached another
milestone in their rich, illustrious football history last December by winning
the NCAA's Division I-AA national championship.
Eastern used a crushing ground game to destroy the Lehigh Engineers,
30-7, in Orlando, Fla.'s, Tangerine Bowl before 5,200 fans.
"We were going to establish our ground game and throw the ball more if
we needed," said Kidd. "But we were so successful running the ball, we just
kept it on the ground."
Eastern ran up 288 yards rushing, including 121 yards by fullback Dale
Patton and 8 I yards by tailback Alvin Miller. For his efforts vs. Lehigh,
Miller was voted the EKU Player of the Game by ABC-TV and Chevrolet.
"We made some big third and fourth down conversions and that was a
big part of our being able to consume so much of the clock," said Kidd. In
fact, the Colonels were able to convert 13 of 16 third down situations.
Defensively, Eastern was able to put extreme pressure on LU standout
quarterback Rich Andres and, because of that, the Engineers' offense
sputtered. Lehigh was only able to complete 6-23 passes for 102 yards and
gain only 91 yards on the ground.
"All we heard all that week was how good Lehigh's defense was. Well,
our defense wanted to go out and show the people what a fine defense we had.
I think the final stats showed who proved their point," Kidd said.
Roverback George Floyd, noseguard Joe Richard, end Tim Frommeyer
and tackle James Shelton were just some of the Colonels who turned in stellar
performances.
Eastern had advanced to the finals by defeating Nevada-Reno 33-30 in
double-overtime the week before, while Lehigh had beaten Murray State 28-
9.
"We knew if they had beaten Murray by that score at Murray, then they
had a good football team. I believe our seniors ( 17 of them) wanted to go out
on top and were not going to be denied. We played with intensity and won the
war in the trenches. It was definitely one of our best games of the season,"
Kidd said.
Eastern held its award banquet for the national champions in January
with several special guests and an outstanding 20-minute film highlighting the
1979 championship season of the Colonels.
At the event attended by more than 400 people, several proclamations by
state and local officials were read and presented to head coach Roy Kidd.
Included among these was a proclamation by Governor John Y. Brown, Jr.
which cited the feats of the Colonel coaches and players and proclaimed the
week of Jan. 20-26, 1980as:EKUNATIONALFOOTBALLCHAMPIONS
WEEK in Kentucky. This message was conveyed to the audience by EKU
president, Dr. J.C. Powell, in the absence of Governor Brown.
2
�Also on hand to read proclamations were state senator Robert R.
Martin, state representative Harry Moberly, Jr. and chairman of the EKU
Board of Regents, Charles Combs.
Kidd, in turn, presented three national awards to the University. These
included the NCAA's national trophy for the Division I-AA national
championship: the John F. Kennedy Cup, presented to Kidd in New Orleans
by the National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame, Inc.; and the Timmie
Award, presented to Kidd by the Touchdown Club of Washington, D.C.
These were accepted by Dr. Powell.
Jim Delany, Commissioner of the OVC, brought his congratulations
from the fellow conference members and also handed out All-OVC
certificates to the first and second-team members of that team. Eastern
Director of Athletics Donald G. Combs recognized Parrish and junior
tailback Alvin Miller for their selection as the NCAA/ Chevrolet scholarship
award winners for the three games televised by ABC. Parrish was chosen for
the Murray State game, while Miller was picked for both playoff games vs.
Nevada-Reno and Lehigh.
Eastern's assistant coaches concluded the program by recognizing
members of their respective units which made the EKU Winners Club, which
denotes carrying out of at least 70 per cent of their assignments in each game.

EASTERN KENTUCKY UNIVERSITY
Growth - in quantity and quality - has been the theme at Eastern
Kentucky University. The quantity speaks for itself. With an enrollment of
nearly 14,000 students, the University's student body has more than tripled
since 1960. As a result, new dormitories and large, well-equipped academic
structures have been built.
Dr. J.C. Powell will be completing his fifth year as president of the
University in October. Powell, the school's seventh president, succeeded Dr.
Robert R. Martin who served EKU in that position for 16¼ years.
At a 1978 Board of Regents meeting, Eastern was reorganized into nine
colleges and a graduate school. Five colleges - Applied Arts and
Technology, Business, Education, Law Enforcement and Allied Health and
Nursing - remain intact.
Four new colleges were created, including Natural and Mathematical
Sciences, Social and Behavioral Sciences, Arts and Humanities and Health,
Physical Education, Recreation and Athletics.
The masters degree is offered in several fields as is the specialist degree. A
joint doctoral program in education is sponsored in cooperation with the
University of Kentucky.
The physical plant has undergone building and renovation programs
totaling more than $136 million since 1960. During this period every existing
major campus facility has been remodeled or complety reconstructed.

�ATHLETICS AT
EASTERN KENTUCKY UNIVERSITY
The College of Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Athletics,
sponsors seven intercollegiate sports for men, six intercollegiate sports for
women and two coeducational intercollegiate sports. Extensive intramural
programs are sponsored providing varied participation opportunities for all.
These programs are an integral part of the total program and
development of Eastern students. They offer experiences which contribute
immeasurably to the health, vitality and preparation of young people as
citizens and for their leadership contributions to the youth in the nation's
schools and elsewhere.
The College of Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Athletics
offers a variety of degree programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
The coaches of athletics are among the fifty seven full-time faculty members
representing more than a score of the finest colleges and universities in the
nation, required to produce academic, intramural and varsity athletic
programs.
The extensive indoor and outdoor facilities are used interchangeably for
instruction and athletics as is the faculty. The College, which is organized
under a single administrative unit, includes three academic departments
under which there are seventeen undergraduate and graduate degree
programs and intercollegiate athletics. This type organization contributes
significantly to successful coordination of the program, faculty and facilities
for maximum contribution to the overall mission of the University.
The College is headed by Dean Russell Bogue. Its three academic
departments are: School and Public Health, chaired by Dr. Herman Bush;
Recreation and Park Administration, chaired by Dr. James McChesney;
Physical Education, chaired by Dr. Lee Gentry. The College's program of
intercollegiate athletics is administered by Athletic Director, Mr. Donald G.
Combs, and Assistant Athletic Director, Dr. Martha Mullins. Its newly
created Department of Services is administered by Dr. Fred Darling.
Through its departments, the College offers six baccalaureate degree
programs and four two-year associate of arts curricula for undergraduate
students. At the graduate level seven graduate degree programs within the
Masters of Arts in Education, the Master of Science, and the Specialist in
Education degrees are offered. Rank II and Rank I teacher certifiction
programs and other certification and endorsement programs are offered.
The College also serves EKU's general education program through
required physical education and health classes for freshmen and sophomores.
Enrolled in the College's academic programs are some 1,300 majors,
including more than 500 graduate students. To serve this large enrollment, the
College boasts a full-time faculty of 57, including 25 members with the earned
doctorate. Thirty-five graduate assistants perform teaching and other
services.
A balanced athletic program, intramural, sports clubs and
intercollegiate, is provided by the College. Intramural and sports clubs
7
�programs are sponsored through the physical education department by
intramural directors. Competition in numerous sports, including softball,
flag football, soccer, racquetball, bowling, volleyball, table tennis, track,
basketball and field hockey provide physical outlets for EKU students.
EKU, a member of the NCAA and Ohio Valley Conference, fields
athletic teams in baseball, basketball, cross country, football, swimming,
golf, tennis, track (indoor and outdoor) rifle, and gymnastics. Basketball,
field hockey, gymnastics, tennis, track and field and volleyball make up the
intercollegiate program for women, under the AIAWand KWIC.
Outstanding facilities are required to support an operation with the
scope of Eastern's College of HPERA. The College's programs are housed in
five major campus structures - The Robert B. Begley Building, where it is
headquartered, the Alumni Coliseum, the Weaver Health Building, the
Presnell Building and the Greg Adams Building. Numerous tennis courts,
recreation areas, Gertrude Hood Field, Turkey Hughes Baseball Field, and
the Tom C. Samuels grass-tex surfaced nine-lane track with tartan infield are
among the other facilities of the College. An 18-hole golf course and an
outdoor education-recreation demonstration area are located at Arlington.
There are four equipped training rooms attached to the intercollegiate locker
rooms in four Buildings. The Department of School and Public Health has an
environmental health laboratory in the Rowlett Building.
The seven-story Begley Building is designed to serve nearly 2,000
students hourly in classes and also provides seating for more than 20,000
football spectators. Included in the structure are three gymnasiums, 12
handball courts, 36 classrooms, 60 offices and the dressing facilities for
physical education and football. A training area includes two exercise and
weight-lifting rooms, a steam room and a large therapy tank. A seminar room
and reception area are located on the second level of the building. Offices on
this level have been accoustically treated to absorb sound from the open-top
athletic area.
The "Thomas E. McDonough Intramural Fields," which boasts IO
football fields, two of which are varsity practice fields and another two which
are large enough for soccer play, are in use. In season, eight softball fields may
be superimposed on the football layouts.
The Glenn Presnell Building houses football locker and shower rooms, a
training room, rest rooms and storage, office and lecture areas. An equipment
check-out room and other service facilities a re located to serve the students
who participate in the intramural programs.
The Greg Adams indoor tennis facility became available for use in the
fall of 1976. It constitutes the fifth building on campus devoted to housing the
activities of the College of HPERA.

�Roy Kidd directed his EKU Colonel football team to a school-record 11 wins during the 1979
season and the NCAA Division I-AA national championship. During his 16 years at Eastern, the
Colonels have compiled a 111-S0-6 record and have won four OVC championships, one NCAA
Mideast Region title and one national championship.
10
�Football
His ability to communicate with his players
stems from a realistic, matter-of-fact attitude.
He's genuinely concerned about each
individual as a player and as a student.
He has a brilliant football mind and is a man
who takes advantage of most situations and is
not afraid to gamble. He is an organizer who
has surrounded himself with a very capable
coaching staff.
All these ingredients point to the fact that
Roy Kidd is a winner. It all started for Kidd as
a little leaguer in Corbin, Ky., and he
continued on the plus side of the ledger as a
high school 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
Richmond Madison into a state football
powerhouse. He had a 54-10-1 record, a 27game winning streak and 14 consecutive
unscored-upon games. He was Kentucky
Coach of the Year in 1961 when the Purples
were ranked No. I 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 as an assistant for one year before
taking over the head job.
The Colonels went 3-5-1 his first year, one of
only two losing seasons he has had while
coaching. They improved that to 5-3-1 the
following year and Kidd was elected Coach of
the Year in the OVC.
Kidd is married to the former Susan Purcell
of Richmond. They have three children: Marc,
Kathy and Keith.
ROY KIDD
Head Coach
Eastern head coach Roy Kidd begins his
17th season at the helm of the Eastern
Colonels this year and will be attempting to
break another coaching milestone in 1980.
Kidd, who has compiled a 111 -50-6 record
at EKU, ranks second in career coaching wins
in Ohio Valley Conference history. Charles
"Bubber" Murphy, former football coach at
Middle Tennessee from 1952-68, won I 17
games during that period to rank first in career
wins.
Coaching milestones have become
somewhat of a way of life for Kidd during the
past couple of seasons. Two years ago, Kidd
was able to pick up his 100th collegiate
coaching victory as he guided the Colonels to
an 8-2 record.
Last year, of course, the Colonels won the
NCAA Division I-AA national championship
and set a school record for most wins in a
season ( 11-2 record). And, this season, he
needs only seven victories to break Murphy's
all-time OVC coaching record.
During these past 16 years, Eastern has
captured a national championship, four OVC
championships, had an unbeaten string of 15
games in the league and won the 1967 NCAA
Mideast Regional Championship (covering
more than I00 teams in a 10-state area) by defeating Ball State 27-13 in the Grantland Rice
Bowl. EKU has compiled a record of 111-50-6
during this period.
Eastern has also been ranked in the top
twenty in the nation by both wire service polls,
having gone as high as No. I in 1979.
Kidd's success comes from a combination of
demanding the ultimate in dedication and
determination, yet being a coach who is
respected by his players.

��1980 FOOTBALL PROSPECTUS
The defending NCAA Division I-AA national champion Eastern Kentucky University
Colonels football team will return 33 lettermen as they try to defend their crown during the 1980
season.
Eastern, who finished the year with an I 1-2 record and NCAA playoff wins over NevadaReno (33-30) and Lehigh (30-7), will have the top three rushers coming back - fullback Dale
Patton and tailbacks Alvin Miller and Anthony Braxton.
Patton, a two-time AII-OVC senior fullback, rushed for 729 yards and nine touchdowns,
while Miller, a senior second-team AII-OVC selection, was the Colonels' top rusher with 777
yards and nine TD's. Braxton, a junior who began the '79 year as the starting tailback before
injuries forced him to the sideline, added 290 yards and 2 TD's.
Two other rushers who aided the Colonels during the 1979 season and who will be returning
for the '80 campaign are sophomore fullback Nicky Yeast (54 carries, 222 yards, t~o TD's) and
senior tailback Bruce Cox (27-116 and one TD).
The Colonels' offense will be aided by what head coach Roy Kidd calls "the best group of
receivers we've ever had a t one time here a t Eastem.H Junior second-team AII-OVC flanker Jerry
Parrish heads the group wit h his impressive '79 statistics of 25 receptions for 549 yards and four
touchdowns. Other members of this group include senior split-end David Booze ( 17 catches, 291
yards, three TD's); junior tight end Cris Curtis (9-123-2 Td's); sophomore split-end Steve Bird;
junior flanker Ranard McPhaul; and sophomore tight end Tron Armstrong.
Parrish was a definite "triple-threat" for the Colonels in 1979. He led Division I-AA in
kickoff returns with his 28. 7 yard average on 14 returns for 402 yards. And, Parrish also rushed
the ball on flanker reverses 11 times for 111 yards and three TD's.
Junior All-OVC guard Kevin Greve leads an offensive line which opened the holes last year
for 2,827 yards on the ground and 33 rushing TD's. Other lettermen returning on the line include
senior guard Danny Hope;junior offensive tackle David Dihrkop; senior tackles Mike Sheehan
and Darryl Lawson; sophomore guard Chris Taylor; senior center Joe Schipske; and sophomore
center Steve Coleman.
Senior AII-OVC placekicker David Flores (9 FG's, 39 EP) will add punch to an offense that
averaged 26.5 points per game last year.
The one big question mark on offense and, perhaps, the key to the fortunes of the 1980
Colonels lies with who will take over the quarterback slot. Junior Chris Isaac is the heir appa rent
to the job, as he threw for three touchdowns and rushed for three more. Isaac's passing stats for
the '79 season included hitting 21-54 passes for 356 yards and four interceptions.
Defensively, EKU returns just four starters from a unit that allowed less than two
touchdowns per game. Senior tackles James Shelton (28 tackles, 39 assists), Ma rk Siemon (1225) and Buddy Moor (39-25) will anchor the line along with senior end Tim Nix and sophomore
ends Randy Taylor and Richard Bell.
The top four linebackers for the Colonels graduated leavinl! the two starting slots up for
grabs between sophomores Alex Dominguez and Mike Wagers, freshman red-shirt Paul
Krafton, plus incoming freshmen.
Junior second-team All-OVC roverback George Floyd heads a talented number ofreturnees
in EK U's defensive backfield. Floyd is the top returning tackler on the team with 68 tackles and
50 assists, led the OVC in interceptions with seven and paced the team in fumble recoveries with
four. Other lettermen returning in the secondary include senior Charles Brunson,juniors Rodney
Byrd and Tom White and sophomore Gus Parks.
Kidd, who begins his 17th year at the helm of the Colonels as the second winningest active
coach in Division I-AA (111-50-6), has again lined up an impressive schedule for the 1980 year.
The I I-game card includes the usual six-OVC teams, new OVC members Akron and Youngstown, and Division I-A opponents East Tennessee and East Carolina, plus Kentucky State.

PROSPECTUS
Facing possibly the toughest schedule in its history, the Kentucky State
Thorobreds look to 1980 as the year of the challenge. Some old faces will be
gone, but several veterans return to work with the freshmen.
Gone from the starters of 1979 will be All-American defensive linemen
Marlon Carson and Michael Johnson, now with Dallas in the NFL, and
Frankie Taylor.
Leading the group of returning veterans will be honorable mention AllAmerican defensive back Rod Hill. Hill led the nation in punt returns last
season, returning 25 punts for 544 yards and two TD's. Hill also had five
interceptions, one for a score, and also led the squad in kickoff returns,
returning six for 113 yards.
"A good deal of our success this season will depend on our work as a
team," predicts coach LeRoy Smith. "Standout performances can be
expected when men of this caliber go on the field, but teamwork is the key
we'll be looking for in 1980."
First game of the series.

Tailback
PROSPECTUS
Part of Akron head coach Jim Dennison's early-season preparation will
include finding replacements for a pair of graduated backfield standouts.
Quarterback Bob Maxwell and tailback Paul Winters are the most noticeable
voids to be filled on offense.
Junior Dennis Brumfield, Akron's leading scorer in '79; Tony Frye, who
played as a fullback with the junior varsity last season; all-purpose back John
Uber and part-time starter Rick Massaro, will all battle for the vacated
tailback position.
Returning fullback Tim Staycer balances the Zip backfield and allows
the Akron coaching staff the luxury of interchangeably utilizing an option-oriented attack.
The Akron defense should be improved-if for no other reason than
adjustments to a new system will be easier with another year's experience
behind the Zip defenders.
The series is tied 2-2-0.

PROSPECTUS
Coming off the finest season ever in YSU football history (the Penguins
were 11-2 last season and played Delaware for the NCAA Division II national
championship), head coach Bill Narduzzi is the first to admit that in order to
duplicate last year's performance, the voids caused by graduation must be
filled as soon as possible.
Last year's Youngstown State team was runner-up in Division II,
captured its second straight Mid-Continent Conference championship and in
the process, kept its slate unblemished in MCC play.
In this the last season of MCC competition for the Penguins (next year
YSU becomes full-fledged members of the Ohio Valley Conference), the goal
they have set for themselves is to remain undefeated in conference play and
receive another post-season playoff bid.
The biggest concern though of Narduzzi and his staff is that of the
quarterback slot where graduation stripped him of four-year regular Keith
Snoddy and backup Bill Fink.

PROSPECTUS
Austin Peay State University has never enjoyed four straight winning
seasons in football. However that could all change in 1980.
After 8-3, 6-4 and 7-4 records the last three years and with 38 lettermen
returning, the Governors could have an excellent chance for No. 4 and even
bigger things.
Optimism stems mainly from one of the best group of seniors in their
school's history.
Heading this list of fourth-year stars will be second team Little AllAmerican defensive tackle Richard Wozniak (6-5, 230), who led the Ohio
Valley Conference in quarterback sacks last year and the team in tackles.
Steve Puthoff (6-2, 180) will be another all-star candidate. He missed the
final seven games due to a shoulder separation last year but still managed 19
catches fo r 352 yards.
Eastern leads the series, 18-3.

PROSPECTUS
The 1979 season was not a good one for MTSU. The Blue Raiders won
but one game, their last of the season, while dropping nine. They finished the
season at 1-5 in the OVC.
While these facts of reality are not pleasant for the Middle Tennessee
coaching staff, there are some bright spots hidden in there.
The Blue Raiders played a good deal of the '79 campaign with nine or ten
freshmen starting under first-year head coach Boots Donnelly. Those
freshmen gained a lot of experience in their first year of collegiate football.
Donnelly feels his two biggest obstacles in I 980 will be the age of his
players, a majority are only sophomores, and the schedule. MTSU will face
the regular OVC slate, as well as non-conference foes North Alabama,
Western Carolina and UT-Chattanooga.
Eastern leads the series, 14-13-0.

PROSPECTUS
The ETSU Buccaneers, coming off their first winning season in nine
years, should begin the new decade with a strong running game, better than
average receivers and a tough defensive interior line while the quarterbacking
situation is pretty much unknown.
T he Bucs, who posted a 7-4 overall record in their first full season as
members of the Southern Conference, return all running backs and most wide
receivers as well as the defensive line but the secondary and linebacking corps
could cause some problems as well as the quarterback spot.
Running backs Earl Ferrell, Johnny McFall and Rick Reeves give ETS U
three of the better offensive performers in the Southern Conference. McFall
scored 84 points via 14 touchdowns and was I Ith in the nation in scoring.
Jeff Davis, a 6-0, 186-pound senior, is the heir apparent at quarterback
but he has limited major college experience.
Eastern leads the series, 18-8-2.

PROSPECTUS
Coach Jimmy Feix and the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers are looking
to turn things around during the 1980 season, after struggling through a
disappointing 5-5-0 campaign a year ago.
There are several reasons for an optimistic outlook, including the
return of OVC Offensive Player of the Year John Hall. A two-time All-OVC
quarterback, Hall completed 108 of 215 passes for 1,418 yards and 10
touchdowns in his junior season last year.
Junior Elmer Caldwell, senior Nate Jones and senior Craig Freeman will
handle the tailback spots, while junior Troy Snardon is the probable starter at
fullback.
The defensive unit should again be strong, with returning standouts Brad
Todd, Barry Bumm and junior defensive ends Tim Ford (73 tackles, AIJOVC) and Donnie Evans.
Western leads the series, 31-21-2.

PROSPECTUS
With 20 starters returning from last season's OVC championship team,
Murray State coach Mike Gottfried is holding more aces than a riverboat
gambler.
The Racers rolled up a fine 9-1-1 record last year in winning the league
crown for the first time since 1951. Gottfried's club also earned a berth in the
NCAA Division I-AA playoffs against Lehigh University.
"We've got a good team," said Gottfried. "We play a lot of people, so
depth becomes a big thing for us."
Returning will be All-American safety Terry Love for his senior year.
After transferring from the College of the Canyons Junior College in
California, Love won OVC Defensive Player of the Year honors for his efforts
last season. Glenn Jones, a tiny defensive end who was also chosen All-OVC,
will be back. He had 11 tackles for losses.

PROSPECTUS
Experience on defense and at the offensive skill positions have TTU's
football coaching staff confident that the 1980 season will hold better things
for the Tech squad.
Tech's defensive prospects are bright with experienced defenders
returning at nearly every position. The Golden Eagles will switch to a fiveman front this season with the hopes of "blending the good from Tech's
traditional four-man front of the past with the best of the five-man front,"
according to Tech head coach Don Wade
Offensively, Tech's runningback and receiving corps feature excellent
returning talent. Ronald Bond and Sam Smith started much of last season,
while Reggie Bazel and Ed Hollis saw limited action. Alan Kron, Jack Kelley
and Paul Selesky saw action last season at the receiver positions.
Transfer James Aaron and 1979 squad members Chip Dickens and
Bubba Griffin head the list of quarterbacks.
Eastern leads the series, 22-14-1.

"Winning is not the most important thing. Giving all it takes to win is the
most important thing."
Ed Emory, rookie head coach at East Carolina, believes in that slogan
and his first edition of the Pirate football squad has adopted the belief.
"I feel like we have determined a starting quarterback in Carlton Nelson.
He still has a million miles to go but he is developing quickly," said Emory.
Returning starters, fullback Theodore Sutton and halfback Anthony
Collins, both have shots at Carlester Crumpler's ECU record 2,889 yards
rushing. Fullback Roy Wiley and runningbacks Mike Hawkins, Marvin
Cobb, Harold Blue and Leon Lawson also had productive springs, leaving the
Pirates with quantity and quality in the ball-carrying department.

PROSPECTUS
Morehead State improved its record to 5-4-1 last year and hopes to better
that even more this time around.
6-3 sophomore Don Reeves is the heir apparent to the quarterback's slot.
He hit 18-46 passes for 196 yards and will have as his main targets senior tight
end Tim Devine (12 catches for 119 yards) and junior flanker Bo Chambers.
Dorron Hunter, MSU's all-purpose runner, receiver and kick returner,
has been moved to tailback. Hunter rushed the ball 52 times for 246 yards last
year, while catching nine passes for 68 yards. He also averaged 18.9 yards on
his kickoff returns and 6.6 yards on his punt returns.
Senior tackle Tim Brewer (50 tackles, 21 assists), senior noseguard
Sterling Ford (42-20) and junior defensive back Carey Reid (41-10) are the
leading returning tacklers for a Morehead defense which yielded but 14
touchdowns all season long and recorded three shutouts.

Coach Roy Kidd's Eastern Colonels served
notice to their 1980 season opponents by winning their opening game on t he road against a
Division I-A opponent - a 17-14 win over the
Kent State University Golden Flashes.
This contest was the first of many during
the '79 year which were saved by the EKU defense. On this particular occasion, after Kent
State had pushed inside Eastern's 10-yard line in
t he last couple of minutes of play, the Flashes
were held and surrendered the ball on d owns to
the Colonels, giving E KU its fi rst of 11 wins.

A bit of revenge was in the Colonels' eye
when T roy State, one of just two teams to beat
Eastern in 1978 came to Ha nger Field. Again,
it was the defense shining as it posted its f irst
shutout of t he season as it never allowed the
Alabama visitors inside the Colonels' 20.

East Tennessee OB Mark Hu tsell, one of
the nation's leaders in total offense in 1978,
proved too much for the Colonel defenders as
he connected for 16-23 passes for 204 yards
and o ne T D as Eastern dropped its first game of
of the season . Trailing by 10 points in the last
quarter, EKU had t he tables turned as their
offense was unable to push the ball across from
the two-yard line in four tries against the Division I-A Bucs.

The Colonels came home for the OVC

In a game witnessed by a record-breaking

EKU amassed 412 yards total offense as Bill
Hughes passed for 154 yards and rushed for
another 50 as the Colonels finished 5-1 in
the Ohio Valley Conference.

The No. 1 ranking helped the Colonels set

playoffs as t he at-large team.
Eastern made the most of the ir invitat ion,
host ing t he game and ABC television in what
was called by one veteran announcer as "the
most exciting footba ll game I have ever seen."
After EKU had seen UNA rally from a 20point deficit t o t ie t he game at 23-23, the
Wolfpack was lining up for the extra po int
attempt wh ich would send them ahead. But
AII-OVC noseguard Joe Richard broke through
the line and b locked the kick, wh ich eventually
sent t he game into overtime.
The two teams traded touchdowns and
extra po ints in t he first overtime to make
the score 30-30 . But , the Colo nels' d efense

and, after EKU had moved the ball to the

vaunted Lehigh defense (288 yards a nd fou r
rush ing TD's) in dominating the national
championship game . The first time EKU
had the ball, t he Colonels ran 20 times for
72 yards and a touchdown and didn't even
attempt a pass.
AII-OVC fu llback Dale Patton was Eastern's
leading ground gainer with 121 yards in 21
carries, while tailback Alvi n Miller had 8 1
yards in 23 carries. The game bal l was presented in a touching post-9ame ceremony to
M rs. Elizabeth McKinnon, mother of the late
Don McKinnon w ho was a freshman noseguard
at Eastern before meningit is took his life in
April of 1979.
As E KU was returni ng to t he hotel after
the game, the marquee at the team's headquarters in Orlando told the story of a very
exciti ng football season:

1980 PROSPECTUS
Coach Rick Erdmann hopes to improve on his team's fourth-place finish last year. But it
won't be easy by any means. Labeling t he schedule "very tough," he added, " It includes all the
major invitationals in Kentucky a nd the surrounding states.
"The team will have a number of returning letter winners, but it will lack depth, which could
be a factor," he said.
Senior Bill Morgan, a n outstanding runner at EK U, will be the team leader. He placed
second in the 1,000-yard run indoors last season.

�1980 PROSPECTUS
The K WIC Division I Champions face their toughest schedule in 1980, coming off a 9-2-4
record last season. T he returning starting squad of two seniors, five juniors and two sophomores
is a young but experienced unit. Complementing the starters will be freshmen Anne Daugherty
a nd Robin Forhecz, who should add both speed and quickness.
The defensive unit returns five of seven to the backfield, where T rece Lang will move to the
sweep position a nd Suzanne Hastings will assume the goalkeeping responsibilities. Cindy
Taylor's leadership and solid defensive play will certainly be a factor. Sophomores Carole Ann
Lankford and Lisa Loran will be at their mid-field positions at link.
Balanced scoring power is the fea ture of the offensive unit, with the addition of Forhecz to
the right side of the field to balance the threat of Jackie Stivers and Patti Drumm on the left. The
excellent cutting ability of Debbie Wright a nd Laura Purdy should help give the line that added
scoring punch.

1980 PROSPECTUS
Losing only one first-team shooter from last year's nationally fifth-ranked squad, the I 980
season should be a bright one for head coach Nelson Beard. Two of the nation's top high school
prospects join the team this year in the persons of Alain Haab and Dan Wigger.
" Rifle Collegiate Sport is growing more competitive each season," said Beard. "It will
become even more competitive now that the NCAA has recognized rifle shooting as a championship sport. We hope to finish in the top five again this year but with a much stronger team."
TOP RETURNING PLAYERS
Dan Durben - the top shooter on the squad. Finished 13th in individual smallbore
competition in last season's NCAA championship, making it his best performance ever. He made
second team All-American in the smallbore category and honorable mention for air rifle.
Karen Long - enjoyed her best year last season at EK U, firing an 1147 at the University of
Kentucky Invitational match, while finishing second in her class. She finished in the top 40in the
nation in both smallbore and air rifle.
Mark Bender - carries an average score of I 133 (smallbore) into the new season. He also
placed in the nation's top 40 in smallbore shooting.

�1980 PROSPECTUS
With all players returning from last season's 15-8 squad, the 1980 fall campaign holds much
promise for coach Martha Mullins. Senior Mary Hochwalt and junior Deanna Addis will lead
the netter's attack. Hochwait comprised a 16-11 singles record at the No. I position last year while
Addis, playing either No. 2 or No. 3 for the team, had the best singles record. She also won the
No. 2 position at the 1980 OVC Tournament.
Sophomore Joy Rupert and senior Sheila Bolin will also add experience to the team. Rupert
developed her game throughout her freshman year and has yet to reach her potential. Bolin, a
junior college transfer from Florida, had a good first year at EKU.
Rounding out the order will be junior Jacquie Powell and sophomores Linda Lisch and
Tiffany Benning. These returning players will be joined by incoming recruits and players added
fo llowing fall tryouts.
TOP RETURNING PLAYERS
Mary Hochwalt - a finalist in the OVC Tournament at No. I singles position.
Deanna Addis - qualified for 1980 AJA W Region II Individual Singles and Doubles
C hampionship. Was also the winner of the OVC Tournament at No. 2 singles position
and was named co-winner of the 1980 OVC Women's Tennis Most Valuable Player
award.

�CONFERENCE
AFFILIATIONS
In 1941, foresighted men had visions of an
Ohio Valley Conference. Sportswriters 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 Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor
and America was plunged into 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.
withdrew to form the Ohio Valley 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,
shortly thereafter, by Tennessee Tech and
Marshall College.
Purpose of the O.V.C., which was 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 in independent in 1949, and
Marshall a nd Evansville, which departed in
1952.
The University of Akron and Youngstown
State University have joined the OVC during
the past two years.
Eastern's women's teams are members of
t h e 19-school Kentucky W omen's
Intercollegiate Conference. K WIC is the
official athletic conference for all recognized
women's collegiate programs in Kentucky.
KWIC conducts state tournaments for
college women in basketball, field hockey,
gymnastics, tennis, track and field and
volleyball and is the recognized affiliate of the
national organization, the Association of
Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (A IAW).
Eastern also competes against other OVC
schools in a regular season schedule in
basketball and a post-season tournament in
tennis.
Eastern ranks first in the Conference's alltime football standings with a 124-80-7 wonlost record. The Colonels have won five
regular season titles outright ('54, '67, '68, '74
and '76) and shared one title in 1962.
Eastern won the NCAA Division I-AA
national championship in 1979 and the NCAA
Mideast Regional Championship in 1967.

JIM DELANY
OVC COMMISSIONER
James Delany, a 32-year-old former NCAA
investigator, is serving his second year as
commissioner of the Ohio Valley Conference.
He succeeded Bob Vanatta as the OVC's
fourth commissioner.
The Succasunna, New Jersey native
becomes the youngest commissioner to serve
the conference. The other OVC
commissioners prior to Vanatta were A.-:hur
Guepe and Paul Dietzel.
Delany is a 1970 graduate of the University
of North Carolina where he played basketball
for coach Dean Smith's Tarheels from 1967-70
and served as co-captain on the 1969-70 squad.
Following graduation Delany entered the
UNC Law School and served as an assistant
coach under Smith. He received his law degree
in 1973 before joining the NCAA staff.

�CONFERENCE
AFFILIATIONS
•
In 1941, foresighted men had visions of an
Ohio Valley Conference. Sportswriters 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 Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor
and America was plunged into World War 11.
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. withdrew to form the Ohio Valley 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, shortly
thereafter, by Tennessee Tech and Marshall
College.
Purpose of the O.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.
Akron was added to the conference last year,
replacing East Tennessee who joined the
Southern Conference.
University of Akron's Zips became the
eighth member of the Ohio Valley Conference on July I, 1978.
Eastern's women's teams are members of
the 19-school Kentucky Women's Intercollegiate Conference. KWIC is the official
athletic conference for all recognized women's
collegiate programs in Kentucky.
K WIC conducts state tournaments for college-women in basketball, field hockey, gymnastics, tennis, track a nd field and volleyball
and is the recognized affiliate of the national
o rganization, the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIA W).
Eastern also competes against other OVC
schools in a regular season schedule in
basketball and a post-season tournament in
tennis.
6
Eastern ranks first in the conference's alltime standings with a 115-76-7 won-lost
record. The Colonels have won five regular
season titles o utright (in '54, '67, '68, '74, and
'76) and shared one title in 1962. Eastern a lso
won the NCAA Mideast Regional championship in 1967.
Annually, the OVC presents an All-Sports
Trophy for over-all excellence in the entire
athletic program.

OVC COMMISSIONER
James Delany, a 31-year-old former NCAA
investigator, is serving his first year as commissioner of the Ohio Valley Conference. He
succeeded Bob Vanatta on July I as the OVC's
fourth commissioner after being among five
applicants considered for the post.
The Succasunna, New Jersey native
becomes the youngest commissioner to serve
the conference. The other OVC commissioners prior to Vanatta were Arthur Guepe
and Paul Dietzel.
Dela ny is a 1970 graduate of the University of North Carolina where he played
basketball for coach Dean Smith's Tarheels
from 1967-70 and served as co-captain on
the 1969-70 squad.
Following graduation Delany entered the
UNC Law School and served as an assistant
coach under Smith. He received his law degree in 1973 before joining the NCAA staff.

contest on the ABC network and a year in
which the Colonels again led the league in total
offense and points scored.
But perhaps, most importantly o f all, I978
was t he year the Eastern Colonels presented
Kidd, who will be beginning his 16th year at
EKU this fall, with his 100th collegiate
coaching victory. This particular win came in
the season's finale, a 30-0 romp over
Mo re head State, and enabled the Colonels to
tie the school record for most wins in a season
for the eleventh time in history. Eastern
finished 8-2 overall.
Kidd believes prospects for another good
season are promising as he tries to recapture
the Ohio Valley Conference title and a berth in
the NCAA's Division I-AA playoffs.
"We're going to have a fine football team if
we can stay healthy," Kidd said. "We cou ld
even be a better team than last year. However,
with the schedule we're playing, it might mean
we will not have as good a won-lost record."
During these past 15 years, Eastern has
captured four OVC championships, had an
unbeaten string of I 5 games in the league and
won the 1967 NCAA Mideast Regional
Championship (covering more than I00teams
in a IO-state area) by defeating Ball State 27-13
in the Grantland Rice Bowl. EK U has
compiled a record of I00-48-6 during this
period .
Kidd is married to the former Susan Purcell
of Richmo nd. They have three children: Marc
(21 ), Kathy ( 18) and Keith ( 16).
J im T a nara, a former assistant foo tball
coach at the University of Alabama. will
handle the down linemen in his first year as an
assistant coach at Eastern.
Ta nara, 37. comes to EK U from the staff of
Hear Bryant at Alabama where he served 11
years in charge of the Tide's defensive front.
While at Alabama. Tanara was a member of
the staff that directed the Tide to two national
champ ionships a nd appearances in 11 bowl
games. He a lso served as UA's head wrestl ing
coach fo r 11 years.
Tanara was a 1960 grad uate of Spring-Ford
High School in Roycrs Ford. Pa.. where he
earned all-state honors in foot ball and
wrestled for his high school team.
He later was a three-year letterman for UTChatta nooga a nd started at both defensive end
and tight end. While collecting Little AllAmerican honors in I 964, he received his
bachelor of science degree in I965 and was
drafted by the New Orleans Saints upon
graduation.
He was an assistant football coach at
Cleveland (Tenn.) High School fo r three years

��1979 EKU FOOTBALL PROSPECTUS
•
As certain as the leaves turn brown each
fall , the folks at Eastern Kentucky University
expect another winning football season from
coach Roy Kidd's Colonels.
With 38 lettermen returning from last year's
team that finished 8-2 overall and 5-1 in the
Ohio Valley Conference there appears to be
good reason for such lofty expectations in
1979. However, the Colonels may be hardpressed to equal their 1978 performance as
t hey face a strong I I-game schedule, called
by Kidd, "the toughest we have ever had."
"We could possibly have a better team
personnel-wise this season, but from the looks
of these teams on the schedule, our record
might not be as good as in '78," said Kidd,
who begins his 16th year at the Colonels'
helm with a 100-48-6 coaching mark.
Highlighting the 1979 schedule are home
dates with 1978 Division I-AA playoff semifinalist Jackson State; D ivision I foe California State-Fullerton; Division II powerhouse Troy State; and the traditional homecoming battle with arch-rival Western
Kentucky. It was Western that handed the
Colonels their only OVC setback last year,
17-16, in an ABC-TV regional game of the
week.
If there is a question mark about this
squad, Kidd feels it would have to be the
lack of experienced depth at the runningback
and offensive line positions. Gone at those
positions from last year's team are All-OVC
selections Stan Mitchell, tailback, and offensive guard Dean Stucky. Another key
position that Kidd must fill is one of the
defensive end slots left vacant by Chris
Roberts, another All-OVC performer.
Otherwise the EK U fortunes a ppear strong
as a legion of fleet-footed receivers return
along with a tested quarterback, All-OVC
fullback and kicking specialist, and an experienced defensive line and secondary to
lead the Colonels in their effort to capture
their first OVC title since 1976.
"General" Dale Patton, a junior fullback
from Cincinnati, Jed the Colonels' ground
a ttack last year as he rushed for 985 yards on
206 carries and reached enemy paydirt I5
times for touchdowns.
Also expected to share the running load are
junior tailback Bruce Cox, of Miami, Fla.,
who has been hampered by injuries during
his E K U career, and junior fullbac k Alvin
Miller, Ft. Pierce, Fla.
Returning for his senior year at quarterback is Bill Hughes, of Lancaster, Ohio, who
took command of the Colonels' offense last
season after serving as understudy for two
years to All-OVC selection Ernie House.
Hughes accounted for 1,039 total yards offense and passed for five touchdowns. H is
accurate passing (47 for 89, a .528 percentage)
proved a perfect compliment for Eastern's
strong ground game. Waiting in the wings at
quarterback is sophomore Chris Isaac, New
Smyrna Beach, Fla., who saw considerable
action last year and executes the option play
with precision.
On the receiving end of those Hughes and
Isaac aerials will be split ends David Booze
and Jerry Parrish, flanker Rick Sang, of Ashland, and tight ends Carl Greene, Cincinnati,
and Cris Curtis. Booze, of St. Petersburg,
Fla., led Eastern's receivers last year with 18
catches for 406 yards and four TDs. Kidd says
Parrish, of Auburndale, Fla. , is the fastest
player he has ever had at Eastern. Last year,
as a freshman, Parrish caught I I passes for
192 yards and one touchdown while showing
he can break a long play at any time. Curtis,
from Titusville, Fla. , had 133 yards o n eight
catches.
Eastern's kicking game could be considered
second to none in the OVC with junior placekicker and second team All-OVC pick David
Flores, of Cincinnati, coming back along with
punter Joel Scrafton of Marion, Ind. Flores
set an Eastern team record for most points by
a kicker with 59 as he converted 32 of 33 extra
points and hit 9 of 14 field goal attempts.
Scrafton missed the second half of last season
with a broken arm suffered in the Western
game, but he is expected to be fully recovered
to resume the punting duties. At the time of
his injury he had averaged 42.5 yards on 22
kicks. Leading the offensive line will be
senior center David Neal of Lexington, an
All-OVC selection last year.

�Junior tackle James Shelton and senior
linebacker Bob Mclnt vrc will also be back on

Hughes will be back to call signals for his
sen ,or season.
Losses due to graduation include th ree AIIOVC selections. offensive guard Dean Stucky
and defensive end Chris Roberts. both fi rst

off the second team .
Coach Roy Kidd. beginning his 16th yea r at
the Colond hel m. is optimistic and feels the
Colonels "ill be in t he thick of the OVC race

PROSPECTUS
Football is a game of challenges and Kent State head coach Ron Blackledge faces one in 1979 as he attempts to improve on the Flashes' 4-7 record
(2-6 in MAC) in 1978 with several new faces.
The challenge is even more demanding when its pointed out that Kent
State is the only Mid-American Conference team that will not return an
all-conference performer.
"We have to find the individuals who can play MAC competition,"
Blackledge said. "We have a lot of faces that have not yet been tested. This
will be the experimental stage."
Despite the influx of several new starters, the second-year field boss is
pleased with the return of 31 lettermen, 19 of whom have starting experience.
The comeback of such key performers as halfback Mike McQueen and linebacker Ben Batton from '78 knee injuries is also hoped for.
First game of the series.

Mark Hutsell
Quarterback
PROSPECTUS
The ETS U Bucs begin thei r first quest for championship honors in the
Southern Conference with talent and depth in the skill positions but a serious
need of big, quick linemen.
The quarterback, runningback and wide receiver positions are well-stocked
with veterans abounding who have good, solid experience. The problem areas
are primarily in the offensive and defensive lines where there is some
experience but a notable lack of size and quickness is evident.
The top candidate for all-star honors will be senior quarterback Mark
Hutsell who finished last season as the No. 8 total offense leader in the nation.
He completed 171 of 294 passes for 2,160 yards, 14 touchdowns and 15.5
completions per game. In total offense, he accounted for 2,318 yards which
averaged out to 2 IO. 7 yards per game.
Eastern leads the series, 18-7-2.

PROSPECTUS
First year Head Coach Watson Brown comes to Austin Peay in hopes of
improving the Govs offensive attack this season.
Known for a tough defense last year, Austin Peay ranked second in total
defense stats, but finished a dismal sixth in the total offense category.
A key in helping the Govs return the form that led them to an OVC
championship in 1977 will be the offensive backfield.
Four-year starter Randy Christophel is gone at quarterback, a nd senior
Steve Brewer and juco transfer Sonny Defillips loom as most likely heirs
apparent. Leading rusher Donald Brown is back at running back along with
Craig Woods.
Steve Puthoff, with 30 catches last season, returns at wide receiver, while
center Stan Burns will return to anchor the offensive line.
All-OVC performers Joe Grimsley and Lynn Hailstock will pick up the
slack in the defensive backfield, which is minus All-American free safety Mike
Betts.
Eastern leads the series, 17-3.

PROSPECTUS
Head football coach James "Boots" Donnelly returned to his alma mater,
Middle Tennessee State, after two successful seasons at rival Austin Peay,
where his teams quickly ea rned the respect of everyone in the OVC.
Offensively, Donnelly feels that his quarterback situation is sta ble with
1978 starter Duane West back for his sophomore season. West is being
pushed by transfer Gus Purvis, son of former MTSU great Ray Purvis.
Guard Bill Ming heads the offensive line, which includes J erry Thompson,
who made the move from tight end , guard Bria n Knight and newcomers
David Rash and Bill Spurlock.
Veteran tackles Reggie Bell, Edd ie Deeb and Bill Cherry head the down
linemen, while All-OVC Stanley Wright is the top linebacker. End J ames
McClellan, second team All-OVC, was injured and missed most of spring
drills.
The series is tied, 13-13.

PROSPECTUS
This season Head Coach Jim Colletto hopes to continue the progress that
saw his Titans finish at 5-7 last year, their best record since 1974.
Cal State-Fullerton finished strongly last season, winning four of their last
six games, to garner a fourth place finish in the PCAA, their highest ever.
One of the main problems for Colletto is how to replace fullback Obie
Graves. Graves rushed for 1,789 yards last year, the fourth highest total in
NCAA history, and was named to the third team All-American Squad by the
Associated Press.
Gone along with Graves are other offensive backfield stalwarts, tailback
Mike Martin and quarterback Dale Bunn.
Leading returnees for the Titans include linebacker John Bungartz and
offensive guard Mike McC!inton, both All-PCAA sel~ctio ns last year. Coach
Colletto will also rely on several transfer athletes to fill graduation gaps.

Danny Lee Johnson
Tailback
PROSPECTUS
Even though 27 lettermen returning and a prize recruiting class are reasons
enough to boast, head coach Mike Gottfried isn't making any promises.
"We're building the program one block at a time and our goal in 1979 is a
winning season," said Gottfried as he readies fo r his second year with the
Racers. "We are still young with j ust four seniors on the roster, so there is
much about our team that remains a question mark."
Top returnee for the Racers is Danny Lee Johnson, a 205-pound junior
tailback who earned OVC Offensive Player of the Year honors last year with
1,217 yards rushing which ranked him sixth in Division I-AA statistics.
Gottfried a lso has high hopes for 6-4, 215-pound fullback Greg Whetsel, a
talented Ohio prep star who transferred to Murray after one season at
Nebraska.
Eastern leads the series, 18-15-4.

PROSPECTUS
Forty returning lettermen, including 17 starters and two specialists, have
TTU head football coach Don Wade smiling about the 1979 season. Of these
returning lettermen, 18 are on defense, 20 are on offense and two are
specialists.
Nine starters are back on defense, Jed by All-OVC second-teamers Ronnie
Dyer at end, Roddna Rockymore at tackle and Greg Bauer at cornerback.
"We're excited about our defense. We have a great deal of experience at
every position. We may not be the biggest team around, but I think we will
play with intelligence and desire and have a pretty good defensive football
team," Wade said.
Based on the large number of returnees, plus a good recruiting year, Wade
is optimistic about 1979. "We have a lot of experience and we believe we've
added some outstanding freshmen and junior college transfers. If we can
avoid another epidemic of injuries, I believe we can be a good football team,"
Wade said.

PROSPECTUS
Coach W. C. Gorden faces somewhat of a rebuilding job, especially on
defense where the Tigers will be minus All-American tackle Robert Hardy.
JS U is also minus its entire starting defensive backfield and two linebackers
from the 1978 unit.
On offense, Gorden will welcome one of his two 1,000-yard rushers,
halfback Perry Harrington who scampered for I, I05 yards and 14 TD's
during the regular season. He also had an impressive 8.4 yards per game
average, while rushing for IO touchdowns of 19 yards or more last year.
Sophomore Keith Taylor will handle the quarterback duties.
If the Tigers are to match their I 0-2 record of '78, they must also compensate in their offensive backfield for the graduated Jeffrey Moore who
rushed for 1,205 yards.
First game of the series.

Linebacker
PROSPECTUS
Tom Lichtenberg, MSU's first-year head football coach, must answer the
question "Who's my q uarterback?" when the Eagles open fall drills.
Go ne is Phil Simms, a three-year starter at quarterback, who was na med
the OVC "Player of the Year" as a junio r a nd who was drafted in the first
round of the NF L draft by the New York Giants.
As possible heir to the position, Lichtenberg must choose between last
year's two backups, senio r Tommy Fox and freshman Greg Hall. Also in the
picture will be converted wide receiver Doug J oiner and defensive safety Ken
Hopkins.
Strengths on the team, which was 2-6-1 last season, should be senio r
linebackers Rod ney J efferson, 5-11 , 195 and Tommy Wa rren, 6-3, 2 15.
Jefferson was a first team All-OVC performer last year and Warren was AllOVC the year before.
Eastern leads the series, 30-15-4.

1979 PROSPECTUS
A young and determined team will face the challenge of regaining Eastern's traditional top
ranked position in volleyball. They will encounter one of the toughest schedules ever put
together. The EKU Invitational will draw teams from seven states and include teams with top
AJA W national titles. Kentucky volleyball has advanced to a point where both representatives
took winner and runner-up titles in the AJA W Regionals. In-state competition will afford no
relief from the tough schedule.
Senior setter Nancy Wingate will lead the team's offense. Her experience and sound judgement
will contribute stability to the young team. The success of the offense will depend upon Nancy's
ability to free her hitters enabling them to spike one on one against the opponent's block.
The 1979 Eastern team will be a power attack team and will be led by junior Sharon Walker
and sophomo re Laurie Briggs and Nancy Stoeckle. Strong defensive leadership will come from
senior Sharon Renners and sophomore Kay Bieger. A consistent and determined effort will be
necessary to achieve this season's goals.
TOP RETURNEES
Nancy Stoeckle - 1978 KWIC All Star Team. Received the set more times than any member
of the team ( 1780) for a 62% spiking average.
Laurie Briggs - Holds the record for the highest spiking average in a single match with a
94% against George Washington College.
Nancy Wingate - Played no com petitive high school volleyball. She will be the team's leading
setter. Nancy has played backup setter for three years and is well prepared for her new assignment.
Brenda Magee - Played no competitive high school volleyball. She reads the opponents
attack, as the middle blocker, better than any member of the team. She has been an outstanding
middle blocker throughout her two years of college play.

Description
An account of the resource
The Eastern Kentucky University (EKU) Photograph Collection consists of photographs and negatives of students, faculty, and events at EKU. Subjects range from individual faculty headshots and classroom pictures to commencement and candid everyday student life photos. Organizational pictures, shots of campus in general, athletics and other official photos taken from the university photographer are also included. Many of these images were taken for publication in marketing materials or for use in the school newspaper, yearbook and alumni magazines. The collection also includes snapshots taken by employees attending events.
The collection may be used for all types of research, keeping in mind that individuals are often unidentified, so search broadly. All images available have been described here, but not all are scanned. Photographs with only a description can be requested by filling out a duplication request (see the link in the menu at the top of the page).

Description
An account of the resource
The Eastern Kentucky University (EKU) Photograph Collection consists of photographs and negatives of students, faculty, and events at EKU. Subjects range from individual faculty headshots and classroom pictures to commencement and candid everyday student life photos. Organizational pictures, shots of campus in general, athletics and other official photos taken from the university photographer are also included. Many of these images were taken for publication in marketing materials or for use in the school newspaper, yearbook and alumni magazines. The collection also includes snapshots taken by employees attending events.
The collection may be used for all types of research, keeping in mind that individuals are often unidentified, so search broadly. All images available have been described here, but not all are scanned. Photographs with only a description can be requested by filling out a duplication request (see the link in the menu at the top of the page).

EKU Photographs
Description
An account of the resource
The Eastern Kentucky University (EKU) Photograph Collection consists of photographs and negatives of students, faculty, and events at EKU. Subjects range from individual faculty headshots and classroom pictures to commencement and candid everyday student life photos. Organizational pictures, shots of campus in general, athletics and other official photos taken from the university photographer are also included. Many of these images were taken for publication in marketing materials or for use in the school newspaper, yearbook and alumni magazines. The collection also includes snapshots taken by employees attending events.
The collection may be used for all types of research, keeping in mind that individuals are often unidentified, so search broadly. All images available have been described here, but not all are scanned. Photographs with only a description can be requested by filling out a duplication request (see the link in the menu at the top of the page).
