The freshman-dominated s·quad of last season is one year older and more experienced and only eight men were lost through graduation.· Two of the departed Eagles- tight end Marvin Hicks and safety Leon Wesley-were first team All-OVC selections. Tackle J im Fisher, who has signed with the Cincinnati Bengals, and of fensive guard! Dave Moore were on the con ference's all-star second team. Besides replacements for the graduated! All OVC selections, Coach Hallwn also must find new men at fullback, held down last season by two seniors, and in the defensive backfield. D efensive end Clint Walker and defensive monster Doug Moore, who b oth played some high school fullback, have moved into the full back slot. Running back Larry Baldridge has been switched into the defensive backfield. Morehead State's quarterbacking is stronger for 1969 with senior Bill Marston finding stiff competition from sophomore George Malone, redshirt Steve Hale and transfer sophomore Buck Donley. Freshman E-d Helline, a strong armed passer from Louisville, also could figure in the quarterback picture before the season ends. Coach Hallum expects his defensive line to be solid. It is ·anchored by two-time All-OVC tackle Dave Haverdick, a 6-4, 240-pound bruiser who is bidding for All-America honors. Moving into Fisher's vacated spot will be 250- pound John Slaughter, a sophomore. The Eagles' defensive secondary should be stronger with the return of Ron Gathright, a former all-stater from L ouisville Thomas Jef ferson who devoted last year to basketball. Gathright, •a starting fullback in the 1967 sea son, is exoected to see action at defensive half back. He-also may be used as a split end. "Our offensive line and blocking might be problem spots but we worked hard on both in spring practice," Hallum said. The MSU coaching staff is optimistic about the Eagles' youth movement with only three members of the 1969 team scheduled for grad uation. Thirteen freshmen lettered last year and six of this year's 17 signees w:e given ex cellent chances of breaking into the starting lineup. The Coaches and Team Personnel HEAD COACH John J. (Jake) Hallum Ne;wberry (S.C.) College, 1960 OFFENSIVE LINE COACH John Behling Otterbein (Ohio) College, 1960 DEFENSIVE LINE COACH Wayne Chapman Morehead, 1960 DEFENSIVE BACKFIELD COACH Larry Marmie Eastern Kentucky, 1965 OFFENSIVE BACKFIELD COACH Dan Walker Louisville, 1962 FRESHMAN COACH Ray Cobb Austin Peay, 1967 ASST.

MANAGERS Howard Corcoran Gary Poynter Lee Gold Lynn Kleck Mark Meinze 7 Enthusiastic Hallum Hopes To 'Make Eagles Soar One of the most dedicated and enthusiastic mentors in college football, John J. (Jake) Hallum is beginning his second season as head coach of the Morehead State University Eagles. From the first day of practice in the fall of 1968, Hallum had a high-spirited group filled with the "Eagle Spirit." Although the Eagles won only three games last season, they gave 100 per cent effort every game for their hard working coach. Hallum joined the Morehead coaching staff in February, 1968, as an assistant coach. When Guy Penny resigned as head coach a few months later, Hallum was named to succeed him. Although his 1968 team outscored opponents 208-192, Hallum's squad posted a 3-6-1 record. He has plans to make that his only losing season in football. 8 The 30-year-old South Carolina native was named Kentucky's "High School Coach of the Year" in 1967 after leading Ashland's Paul Blazer High School to the state championship. His Ashland teams posted a 7..,5, record in 1966 and an 11-1 mark in 1967. Before coming to Ashland, Hallum was an assistant coach under Fleming Thornton in Pickens, S. C., and Hopkinsville, Ky. Hallum played on two state championship teams at Pickens and played college football at New berry College in South Carolina as a line backer, defensive guard and defensive end. A dedicated student of hard hitting, team effort football, Hallum is married to the former Mabel Duvall of Greenwood, S. C. They are the parents of two sons, Todd and Bart. John Behling Offensive Line Coach Starting his second year as a member of Morehead's coaching staff is John Behl ing, the offensive line coach. He came to Morehead for the 1968 season after a suc cessful high school coaching ;r\, : career in Ohio. 1)~," i His coaching slate includes t ' =- -'""--- two years as an assistant at Sandusky Senior High School, three years as defensive backfield coach at Massillon Senior High School, and one year as head coach at Fremont Ross Senior High School. Behling's collegiate football was as a quarter back and end! for Otterbein College, Wester ville, Ohio. He played high school football at North High School in Columbus, Ohio. Coach Behling has a master's degree in edu cation from Kent State University. 9 Wayne Chapman Defensive Line Coach A former Morehead foot ball star, Coach Chapman re turned to-his alma mater last year as an assistant coach. He had served ,a highly successful four-year stint as head coach at Auburndale, Fla., where his teams won 30, lost 6 and tied 2. Prior to that he was an assistant coach at Auburndale. A native of Barbourville, W. Va., Chapman was a- starting tackle for four years for the Eagles. During his junior and senior seasons, he was selected for All-OVC' honors. He earned his master's degree from More head. Larry Marmie Defensive Backfield Coach One of the all-time great quarterbacks at Eastern Kentucky University, Coach Marmie is another second year man with the Eagles. He came to Morehead last year from Berea, where his high school teams won 11; lost 8, and tied 1 in two seasons. A native of Barnesville, Ohio, where he was an all-state quarterback in high school, Coach Marmie was the starting quarterback at Eastern Kentucky for four seasons. The enthusiastic Marmie holds a master's degree from his alma mater. 10 Dan Walker Offensive Backfield Coach Dan Walker, who doubles as wrestling coach at M ore head, is another secondc.year man at Morehead. His pri mary duties last season were working with the freshman squad and scouting. Before coming to More- .a head, Coach Walker spent ! iw~ six years as football and wrestling coach at North Hardin High School, Vine Grove, Ky. His wrestling team captured the state championship in 1967-68 and he was named "Coach of the Year." In 1967, Coach Walker's wrestlers finished second in the state competition. Walker received his bachelor of science de gree from the University of Louisville in 1962. He played four years of football with the Cardinals, being named most improved player his senior year. Ray Cobb Freshman Coach and Scout Coach Cobb is starting his first year on the MSU coach ing staff and it represents a player-coach reunion. He played his high school foot ball at Hopkinsville under Coach Hallum. The h a n d s o m e Austin Peay gradu ate was an all state selection at Hopkins ville but his college career was curtailed by a knee injury. He comes to Morehead from an assistant coaching position at Christian County High School. In addition to working with the Eagle fresh men and scouting MSU opponents, Coach Cobb will be enrolled as a graduate student. Marvin Hicks Assistant Offensive Line Coach The Eagles' second graduate assistant coach is Marvin Hicks, a 1969 MSU graduate who was named to the All-OVC first team last year as a tight end. 11 Some of The Eagles' 1969 Player Profiles ]2 Quarwerbacks DONLEY MALONE MARSTON 16-Buck Donley 6-1, 200, Sophomore, Quarterback Oak Hill, Ohio A transfer from Wilmington College, Ohio, Donley will be giv~g veteran Bill Marston and George Malone a real battle for t he sta1,ting quarterback positi.on. Buck is not afraid to throw or run and his size and speed are better than average. 14-Geoi·ge (Buddy) Malone 6-1, 165, Sophomore, Quarte1·back Ft. Payne, Ala. Malone saw limited ser vice last season as a backup man for Marston. He should have a good chance of seeing much more acLion this year. Ma1one, who is not afraid to scramble o,r carry the ball, threw one touchdown last y ear a nd gained 32 yards rushing. 13- Bill Marston 5-10, 160, Senior, Quarterback Babson Pa1·k, Fla. Last season's regular quarterback, Marston is an adequate passer but b ecause of his size he re ceives a lot of hard knock s on the field. "Bill has a tremendous heart and a real desire to win." Coach Hallum said. Marston completed 81 of 179 passes for five touchdonws last year. His punting average was a highly r e-spectable 36.9 in 70 at temp ts. 13 Halfbacks-Fullbacks BALDRIDGE BAYES CASON 44-Larry Baldridge 6-1, 195, Junior, Defensive back Shelby, Ohio Baldridge, who woTked most of 1'968 as a full back and wingback, ils retw·rung to the defensive backfield full time this year. He has great desire and determinart;ion and gives a 100 per cent effo,rt. He is the brother of former All-OVC defensive ace Bill Baldridge. Larry letter,ed three years at Shelby High School, wincing All-Noirthern Ohio LeagUJe honors. He scored one touchdown and one pass conversion last season. 33-Jim Bayes 5-11, 190, Sophomore, Defensive back Trotwood, Ohio Bayes should be a valuable asset l!o the defensive backfield this year. He has tremendous speed and is possibly the fastest man on the squad. Bayes lettered as a high hurdler for Morehead's track team last spring. He always gives a full effort and shows a great amount of enthusiasm. 42-Bill Cason 5-8, 175, Freshman, Running back North Middletown, Ky. Cason is a c-0mpactly-bu.ilt speedster who should add depth to the runrnng back position. He shows a lot of desi:rie and h111Stle and is hard to stop. Cason was an ouitstanding football player in high school at Bourbon County. 14 CASTLE CONING C. MOORE 11-Buddy Castle 5-10, 175, Junior, Defensive back Russell, Ky. A former all-S'tiaite quarterback at Russell High School, Castle is deveJ.opin,g into a top-flight de fensive back. He snagged two interceptions last season and returned them for 28 yards. Although he is ,a biit small, he demonstrates an unusual ability to r,eact quickly to the ball on pass defense. 21-Jo hn Coning 6-0, 195, Sophomore, Wingback Mt. Gilead, Ohio Coning is a versatile performer who can run, pass, and catch passes. He was the top ground gainer in the Blue-White game this spring. He set the Breathitt Sports Center record last season for the longesit pass completion-a halfback option play to Maurice Hollingsworth for a 63-yard touchdown pass. He also caught eight passes and gained 105 yards ruS'hing last season as a freshman. 30-Chuck Moore 5-11, 170, Sophomore, Defensive back Radcliff, Ky. A transfer from the Undvers,ity of Louisville, Moore sat out last season but was a spark plug at practice sessions. He should see plenty of actiion in the defensive backfield this year. T he coaches rate him as one of the fastest men on the Eagle squad. 15 ROGAN RUCKER 32-Doug Moore 6-0, 185, Sophomore, Fullback Paoli, Ind. Doug, the younger brother of last year's All-OVC guard Dave Moore, is being converted from de fensive monster to fullback this season. He i!S a hard worker , a n agressive oompetiitor, and a player with real football know-how. He lette r ed fouT years as a halfback a nd defensive corner back at Paoli H igh School, where h e was named t o bhe All-Mid-Southern Conference squad. 34-Louis Rogan 5-11, 200, .Junior, Tailback Cable, Ohio R:ogan sparkled o n offense last year, finishing second in the OVC in rushing and scoring. L ouis gained 1,125, yards and scor ed 10 touchdowns from his liailback position. His 40 carries against Murray set an OVC record for most times carried in ,a game, although it was soon broken by T ennes see Tech 's Larry Schreiber. Rogan and Schreiber will again be fighting for top running back in the conference this season. Rogan was an honorable mention Little All-American. 22- Mike Rucker 5-11, 185, Sophomore, Defensive hack W. Carrollton, Ohio R ucker, a r eal hustler, saw a lot of action in the defensive secondary last year a nd should play even more this year. He was a non-scholar ship player who fought for a nd won a spot on the team. His :four interceptions led the Eagles last year. 16 Fullback-Ends WALKER EDWARDS GARDNER 35-Clint Walker 6-2, 200, Junior, Fullback Louisville, Ky. Wiall<'er, a former All-State selection at Louisville Trinity lligh Schoo,l, is making the switch from defensive end to fullback this season. Walker has an abundance of hustle, ability, and proper football mental attitude. He IJ.kes to mix it up, and he should be hard to tackle from the fullback slot. Walker, Moore, and foeshman Steve Gerhardt will be battling for the fullback job. 87-Jim Edwards 6-3, 200, Sophomore, Defensive End Xenia, Ohio Edwards is one of the most improved fre·sh:man football players. He is a more than adequate de fensive end with tremendous balance. A former high school star at Beaver Greek (Ohio) High School, Edwarclis play;ed a lot of football last year as a freshman. 80-Jim Gardner 6-1, 170, Sophomore, Split End Elizabethtown, Ky. Gardner has imprnved with practice and should provide depth at the split end posit~on. He should continue to show improvement as he sees more action and will prabably get into a lot of Eagle games this sea:son. 17 Ends ffiGH HENWOOD H'WORTH 40-John High 5-10, 170, Sophomore, End Cincinnati, Ohio High saw plenty of action last season as a fresh man and he should be battling Maurice Hollings worth .and others for the split end starting job. He caught 14 passes for 20,0 y,ards and two touch downs last season. High has better than avernge speed and shiftiness. 89-Doug Henwood 6-0, 195, Sophomore, End Lancaster, Ohio H enwood is v,ery much improved ,as ,a tight •end and should be a n asset to the offen/Sive l.i!ne. Although he is somewhat inexperienced, he is conside.11ed one of the pTime candid>aites for the s~ot vacated by the graduation of All-OVC t ight end Matrvin Hicks. He is a good blocker and a 100 per cent hustler. 23-Maurice Hollingsworth 5-9, 165, Sophomore, End Harlan, Ky. Hollingsworth , a pint-sized speed demon, led the conference in punt r.eturns last season. His returns included a kickoff rntlun for a TD on an BO-yard punt return for a touchdown. His kickoff return average was 2·3.5 and his punt return average 12.6. He has great speed and possesses good hands capable of catching a large number ,of passes. Maurice was a high school sfar for thTee years at Harlan High School. 18 LEMPKE LISTERMAN SfilRK 86-John Lempke 6-0, 200, Sophomore, End Dayton, Ohio Lempke, who i!s ccmsidered a very hard hitter, is one of the top candidates for a defensive end job. He has tremendous potential which can be cashed in after he has more seasoning. Lempke will pr ob ably get an opportunity to play a lot this season. 85-Gary Listerman 6-0, 195, Junior, End Cincinnati, Ohio A two-year letterman as a defensive end, Lister man is almost certain to be a regular defensive end again this season. On sev,eral occasions, Lis terman caught the ,opposing quarterback for a large loss of yardage. In some games, Gary made as many as eight unassisted tackles. He is a possi ble All-OVC candidate. 83-Gary Shirk 6-0, 200, Freshman, End Marysville, Ohio Shirk, a very hard-nosed competitor, was red shirted 1ast season but is ready for action this fall. He is one of the better blockers amo,ng the yOUlnger players, and his aggressiveness should aid the de fensive line. 19 Linebackers LEHMAN LITTLE LYLES 68-Tom Lehman 5-10, 205, Sophomore, Linebacker Lancaster, Ohio Lehman was a vital member of the Eagle line backer corps last season, clividing the duties with L yles and Wamsley. A true hustler, L ehman re turn ed ,an interception 41 yards for a touchdown. He is sb,ong, d.etermined, and dependable. He wais a letterman far the Morehead track squad as a discus thrower. 67-Ron Little 6-0, 185, Sophomore, Linebacker Ft. Payne, Ala. Although Little is very quiet both on and off the field, he is a man of action on the field, He possesses very quick reflexes, •and his strength was greatly increased by the winter conditioning program. With Lehman and Lyles, he gives the Eagles three fine sophomore linebackers. 31-Harry ( Sugar Bear) Lyles 5-9, 210, Sophomore, Linebacker Charleston, W. Va. An All-American high school fullback at Cha;rles ton's Stonewall Jackson High School, Lyles con centrated on defense last year. One of the hardest hitte11S in the conference, " Sugar Bear" appears to enjoy knocking more than eaiting. In one game last season, he blocked a punt and never let it hit the ground as he returned it 27 yards for the touchdown. He can be called upon fo;r double duty if the occasion calls for it and is one of the most durable players on the team. A leading All OVC candidate. 20 Linebackers-Guards WAMSLEY ARLINE HARRISON 55-Bill Wamsley 5-11, 205, Senior, Linebacker-Guard Gallipolis, Ohio One -0f three s,eniors on this year's team, Wamsley is a three-year letterman. He was 10ne of the team capta,ins last season and in every game displayed team leadership and hustle. He was credited with one pass interception and three fumble recoveries last seaison. Bill is an aggressive tackler who usually gets his opponent. 62-Charles Arline 6-3, 195, Sophomore, Linebacker-Guard Atlanta, Ga. Arline, after playing a near-perfect first half, was injured during the Marshall game last season and never completely recovered to his top playing form. He is a strong compet itor a,t the middle guard position, and is quick for his size. A healthy Arline will help bolster the defensive unit. 66-Cecil (Buddy) Harrison 5-11 , 190, Junior, Linebacker-Guard Tifton, Ga. Ha1'rison suffered a broken arm in the middle of last season. He is a hard working offensive gua.rd who gives at least 100 per cent effort all the time. Buddy is a two-time Eagle letterman who can become one of the better guards on the squad with additional maturity and experience. 21 Guards HEMMERT HOWARD JOHNSON 63-Rick Hemmert 6-1, 190, Sophomore, Guard Piqua, Ohio An offensive guard with fine speed and g,ood blocking ability, but he, like many other offensive linemen, needs a lot of experuence. Rick is a hustler and should see plenty of action this .season. Hemmert is a ca,ndidaite for the guard spot vacated by graduating All-OVC guard Dave Moore. 60-Jerome Howard 5-10, 205, Sophomore, Guard Lexington, Ky. Howard was one of the outstanding members of last season's bumper freshman crop. He started several games as defensive middle nose guard, and he should battle with Arline and L arry J.ohn son for the 11egular job this season. Hallum praised How.a1rd's sp-ring practi,ae. 65-Larry Johnson 6-1, 215, Sophomore, Guard Ashland, Ky. A fierce competitor, J ohnson has been fi!Jed with "Eagle spil'1t" since his high school day,s at Ash land's P wul Blaze r High School where he played on Hallum's 1967 championship team. Johnson can do an outstanding job -at either middle nose guard, where he played quite a bit last year, or offensive guard. He h as t he desire and determi nation of a true champion. 22 Guards-Tackles McCORMICK DELABAR HAVERDICK 64-Earl McCormick 6-1, 210, Junior, Guard Gallipolis, Ohio Ead has a good chance of becoming a 1iegu]ar offensive guard this season on the basis of his heavy action last year. H e is aggressive and a rea,l asset to the offensive line. Experience gained last year will help him become ,a better lineman and he should imp'!,ove with each game. Earl carries out his assignments well and always gives a good effort. 7 4-Dave Delabar 6-3, 225, Sophomore, Tackle Wheelersburg, Ohio Delabar has a strong chance for a regular tackle posiJti()ll1. for the Elagles this fall. He has more than adequate speed and size. Dave did not see much action last sea,son but the departure of Jim Fisher to the pro ranks le:flt a bi,g gap in the defens!ive line. Delabar would like to fill it. 77-Dave Haverdick 6-4, 240, Senior, Tackle Canton, Ohio Big Dave r epresents Morehead's first bona fide All-America candidate sin ce speedster Tommy Gray departed. The dependable tackle is a two time All-OVC team member and last season was tabbed for honorable mention in the Little All America balloting. Dave has been a permanent fixture in the Eagle defensive line since he walked onto the field without a scholaliShip in his fresh ~an year. H e makes numerous individual tackles and a ssis,ts every game. His strength earned him a track letter at MSU in the shot pUJt. 23 Tackles D . H'WORTH MIGNERY SADOWSKI 73-Dwaine Hollingsworth 6-2, 215, Junior, Tackle North Lewisburg, Ohio With added strength and quickness, Dwaine could be ,a starting offensiv,e tackle thii\5 fall. He lettered four years at tackle for Tri•ad High School and seems t o thrive on contact and :rough action. An injury sidlelined him during a sizable part of spring practice. 71-Ed Mignery 6-2, 210, Junior, Tackle Hamilton, Ohio Ed was moved fnom end to ,offensive tackle last season to bolster one of the Eagles' weakest aireas and was named "Most Improved Player" at the annual ,awards banquet. He also was picked for the All-OVC c9econd offens,ive team. Mignery, who possesses a greart deswe to win, had a wrist opera tion this summer but is .expected to be ready for the season opener. Ed is a likely All-OVC choice. 75-Daryl (Chief) Sadowski 6-1, 205, Junior, Tackle Shamokin, Pa. Sadowski, a two-year letter.man as a part-time starter, will be in1 the thick of the fight fm a stru-t ing tackle spot this fall on the offensive team. The coachln.g staff said he was one of the most improved players in spring practice. He hits well and .is a strong runner with good stamina. In high school, "Chief" played defensive end and fullback. 24 Others SLAUGHTER CLARK WARD 79-John Slaughter 6-2, 255, Sophomore Cincinnati, Ohio Big John ,slimmed down some trus spring and got meaner as he got leaner. Last season he reported to spring practice as a 280-pound walk-on. This fall he will be a prime contender for Jim Fisher's old defensive tackle job. Coach Hallum praised Slaughter's efforts in the spring game. 24-John Clark 5-10, 185, Junior Cliff, Ky. A kicking ,specialist only, J ohn converted 21 extra poinrt attempts last seas·on and added one field goal. His long range accuracy was spotty but he worked hard in ,spring practice and his kicking improved a great deal. 52-Steve Ward 6-0, 200, Junior Ashland, Ky. Another Ashland product, Steve developed into a respectable offensiv e center last year. He made the switch from linebacker to center late in the 1967 campaiign. H is overall effectiveness should be increarsed by last year's experience. Ward has good football savvy and a good snap. 25 1969 Unofficial No. Pos.
