ADRON DORAN MSU's Seventh President Expanding University Founded in 1922, Morehead State University is a state-supported, multi-purpose university with a 45-5-acre campus. It is located, where the Bluegrass meets Appalachia in the foot­ hills of the Daniel Boone National Forest. Dr. Adron Doran, who has guided the school's growth from a state college to an out­ standing, ever-expanding university, is the seventh president of the University. He has served since 1954. The University is composed of six Schools­ Applied Sciences and Technology, Education, Humanities, Sciences and Mathematics, Social Sciences and the Graduate School. Both undergraduate and graduate degrees are offered, as well as two-year associate de­ grees. 2 The Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Arts degrees, the Master of Science, Master of Arts, Master of Music, Master of Higher Education, and Master of Arts in Education degrees are available. Additional work be­ yond the master's degree also may be earned. There. are more than 50 major structures on the campus with• a total value of more than $5·5 million. Currently nearing completion are a 19-story, 512~bed residence tower for men and a IO-story, 400-bed residence hall for women. Both will be ready for occupancy this year. Completed in 1968 were the Professional Ed­ ucation Building, which cost $3 million, and a $1.3 million addition to Baird Music Hall. The $1.2 million Claypool-Young Art Build­ ing, the only building on a Kentucky campus devoted entirely to art and art education, was dedicated in October, 1968. The $2.8 million renovation and expansion of the Doran University Center, formerly the Doran Student House, is in the final stages and its new facilities will be available to students this school year. Eight nev,r modern tennis courts have been added to Breathitt Sports Center. All athletes on scholarship at Morehead may live in the 132-man Downing Hall, located on the hillside north of Breathitt Sports Center. It was completed in 1967 at a cost of $425,000. There are 33 air-conditioned suites, housing four men each. The building recently was named in honor of George Downing, the uni­ versity's first coach and athletic director. More than 6,500 students attend the Univer­ sity and numerous extension programs are available. More than 10,400 persons are alumni of Morehead and the University has in excess of 350 faculty members. Morehead State University is a member of the Ohio Valley Conference and the National Collegiate Athletic Association. The Univer­ sity plays an intercollegiate schedule in basket­ ball, baseball, cross country, football, golf, soccer, swimming, tennis, track, and wrestling. 3 Area News Outlets LOUISVILLE The Courier-JournaJ (A.M.) ....................Dean Eagle, Jim Bolus The Louisv-ille Tunes (P.M.) ... -••·········Dave Kindred WHAS, WHAS-TV ...............: ..........

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

  • Statistical Leaders of the ‘20S
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 14, No. 2 (1992) Statistical Leaders of the ‘20s By Bob GIll Probably the most ambitious undertaking in football research was David Neft’s effort to re-create statistics from contemporary newspaper accounts for 1920-31, the years before the NFL started to keep its own records. Though in a sense the attempt had to fail, since complete and official stats are impossible, the results of his tireless work provide the best picture yet of the NFL’s formative years. Since the stats Neft obtained are far from complete, except for scoring records, he refrained from printing yearly leaders for 1920-31. But it seems a shame not to have such a list, incomplete though it may be. Of course, it’s tough to pinpoint a single leader each year; so what follows is my tabulation of the top five, or thereabouts, in passing, rushing and receiving for each season, based on the best information available – the stats printed in Pro Football: The Early Years and Neft’s new hardback edition, The Football Encyclopedia. These stats can be misleading, because one man’s yardage total will be based on, say, five complete games and four incomplete, while another’s might cover just 10 incomplete games (i.e., games for which no play-by-play accounts were found). And then some teams, like Rock Island, Green Bay, Pottsville and Staten Island, often have complete stats, based on play-by-plays for every game of a season. I’ll try to mention variations like that in discussing each year’s leaders – for one thing, “complete” totals will be printed in boldface.

  • Big 12 Conference Schools Raise Nine-Year NFL Draft Totals to 277 Alumni Through 2003
    Big 12 Conference Schools Raise Nine-Year NFL Draft Totals to 277 Alumni Through 2003 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Apr. 26, 2003 DALLAS—Big 12 Conference teams had 10 of the first 62 selections in the 35th annual NFL “common” draft (67th overall) Saturday and added a total of 13 for the opening day. The first-day tallies in the 2003 NFL draft brought the number Big 12 standouts taken from 1995-03 to 277. Over 90 Big 12 alumni signed free agent contracts after the 2000-02 drafts, and three of the first 13 standouts (six total in the first round) in the 2003 draft were Kansas State CB Terence Newman (fifth draftee), Oklahoma State DE Kevin Williams (ninth) Texas A&M DT Ty Warren (13th). Last year three Big 12 standouts were selected in the top eight choices (four of the initial 21), and the 2000 draft included three alumni from this conference in the first 20. Colorado, Nebraska and Florida State paced all schools nationally in the 1995-97 era with 21 NFL draft choices apiece. Eleven Big 12 schools also had at least one youngster chosen in the eight-round draft during 1998. Over the last six (1998-03) NFL postings, there were 73 Big 12 Conference selections among the Top 100. There were 217 Big 12 schools’ grid representatives on 2002 NFL opening day rosters from all 12 members after 297 standouts from league members in ’02 entered NFL training camps—both all-time highs for the league. Nebraska (35 alumni) was third among all Division I-A schools in 2002 opening day roster men in the highest professional football configuration while Texas A&M (30) was among the Top Six in total NFL alumni last autumn.

  • Jackie Smith: Revolutionary Receiver
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 16, No. 6 (1994) JACKIE SMITH: REVOLUTIONARY RECEIVER By Don Smith Jackie Smith wanted to play high school football but managed to see action for only half a season. He had no intention of playing college football but wound up as a four-year regular. He never even dreamed of playing professional football but he played 16 quality seasons in the National Football League. The improbable career of the 6-4, 232-pound tight end completed its incredible cycle in January, 1994, when he was accorded his sport's ultimate honor, election into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. In between his aborted attempt to play football in high school and his final NFL season in 1978, Smith, hard- working and determined, fashioned a landmark career with the St. Louis Cardinals for 15 seasons from 1963 to 1977. He finished his pro football tenure with the Dallas Cowboys in 1978. At the time of his retirement, Smith ranked as the leading tight end receiver in NFL history. He had 480 catches for 7,918 yards and 40 touchdowns. Jackie hit his personal high-water mark with 56 receptions for 1,205 yards and nine touchdowns in 1967, when he was named to the all-NFL team. He caught more than 40 passes seven different years and was selected to play in the Pro Bowl after five of those seasons. Not only was he the top-ranking tight end when he retired, he also ranked llth among all career receivers and third among active receivers at the time.
