Aerial View Of Western Campus

Over the years since it was founded in 1906, Western Kentucky State College has compiled a solid record of service to the citizens of the Commonwealth. Western was originally created for the sole purpose of traioing teachers for the elementary and secondary schools of Kentucky, but has steadily increased the scope of its academic program to meet the expanding needs of its students. The College now offers three four-year undergraduate degrees, one two-year undergraduate degree and one graduate degree with course offerings in twenty-seven different departments. The enrollment at Western this fall was again expected to be at an all-time high, over 7,000 students. This is more than four times the enrollment of only ten years ago. To keep pace with this increasing number of students, Western is currently in the midst of the greatest building program in its history. The reconstructed and enlarged Paul L. Garrett Student Center and the Margie Helm Library, reconstructed from the former Physical Education Building, were both opened this year. A new classroom building will be completed within the current academic year and three new dormitories were begun this fall. In the planning stages is a new athletic complex that will contain a new stadium, baseball field, tennls ·courts and other facilities. Expansion of Thompson Science Hall and a new Administration Building are also planned. Western's l41-acre campus, recognized as one of the most beautiful in the nation, is crowned by a commanding hill, from which Hilltopper athletic teams derive their nickname. It presents a marvelous view from any entrance to the city.

3 President KELLY THOMPSON This fall marks the beginning of the second decade in office for Western Kentucky State College's third president, Dr. Kelly Thompson. The ten years since Dr. Thompson took office have been the most progressive era in the history of the College. In that period, Western's enrollment has grown from 1,684 to its present 7,OOO-plus; eleven major buildings have been constructed on the campus, more are going up now, and still others are in the planning stage; and Western's curriculum has undergone almost constant revision and expansion. Dr. Thompson's dedication and foresight were largely responsible for recent organiza DR. THOMPSON tional innovations at the College, including the establish ment of three colleges, each with its own dean, within Western's operational frame work. A native of Lebanon, Kentucky, Dr. Thompson joined the Western administrative staff in 1929 as Field Representative. He became Director of Public Relations in 1935 and was made assistant to Western's second president, Dr. Paul L. Garrett, in 1946. Dr. Thompson was named president of the College in 1955. He holds the Bachelor of Arts degree and Master of Arts degree from Western and was awarded the Doctor of Laws degree by Morris Harvey College in 1956. He was named the "Outstanding Kentuckian of 1960" by the Kentucky Press Association and was one of eleven college presidents throughout the nation selected to travel abroad during the past summer as a part of a Higher Education Adminis tration project sponsored by the Agency for International Development. He is active in numerous civic and religious affairs and is extremely interested in the sound administration of intercollegiate athletics. He was one of the key figures in the formation of the Ohio Valley Conference in 1948.

Athletic Director TED HORNBACK Although he is still a " rookie" in his current post, Ted Hornback is a veteran of 27 years on Western Ken tucky's athletic staff. He succeeded Western's renowned former basketball coach, E. A. Diddle, as Athletic Director this fall. Hornback was acting Athletic Di rector last year, his first out of active basketball coach ing since he graduated from Western in 1929 following a brilliant cage career under Diddle. After a successful stint in the high school coaching ranks, he returned to Western in 1939 as assistant to Coach Diddle, a post he held until the end of the 1963-64 TED HORNBACK school year. He was also head of Western's Department of Physical Education, Health and Athletics from 1947 until this fall. Hornback also coaches the Hilltopper tennis team, an endeavor in which he has had nearly phenomenal success. His netters have won 11 Ohio Valley Con fe rence titles sin ce the league was formed in 1948, the latest championship coming last year with a young squad that should be a strong contender to repeat next spring. He has led the tennis team to 186 dual match victories against only 47 defeats over the past 23 years. In four of those years, the Hilltoppers compiled undefeated seasons. 4 THE COACHING STAFF

Head Coach NICK DENES

The Hilltoppers' Nick Denes has had one of the most distinguished and versatile coaching careers in the nation. His overall coaching record-including all sports, both high school and college, over a 35-year career-stands at an amazing 483 vic tories matched against just 149 defeats and 12 ties.

He has twice been voted the Ohio Valley Conference "Coach of the Year" Award, first in 1961, when he paced Western to a third-place finish after his team had been picked to rank dead last. He won the honor again in 1963 when he and the Hilltopper gridders hit the football jackpot, finishing a tough schedule without a loss, winning the OVC championship, the Tangerine Bowl title, and laying an unofficial claim to the national small-college crown. In eight seasons Denes' Hill topper teams have won 43, lost 27 and tied 4. Denes had one of the most successful coaching careers in the history of Ken tucky high school athletics before coming to Western as head coach in the spring of 1957. He is the only man to have coached teams to State prep championships in three different sports: in football at Louisville Male in 1951, in basketball at Corbin in 1963, in track seven different times at Male. He was named Kentucky football's high school "Coach of the Year" in 1951. Born in Garrett, Indiana, fifty-eight years ago, Denes graduated from the University of minois in 1929. His playing career there was cut short by an injury, but he coached the mini freshmau gridders during his senior year. He was head coach at Corbin from 1929 tlrrough 1936, at the University of Tennessee Martin Branch, in 1937-38, and was freshman coach at Western in 1939. He was line coach at Male from 1940 through 1948 and was promoted to head coach there in 1949. He resigned as football coach at Male after the 1953 season, concentrating his efforts on his job as athletic director and track coach. 5 Defensive Backfield Coach TURNER ELROD Turner Elrod marked himself as one of the finest all-around athletes in Western history when he starred in football, basketball and baseball for the 'Hilltoppers from 1927 through 1931. He joined the Western staff in 1949 after serving as athletic director and assistant football coach at Barrett High in Henderson, Kentucky, He compiled a solid record of sueC<'ss in Kentucky high school coaching circles. TURNER ELROD Elrod strongly advocates and stresses fundamentals in coaching his backs, but still finds time to cultivate their individual talents, At the same time, he teaches them his own hard-nosed philosophy of defense, In addition to his other duties, Elrod has done the majority of scouting opponents for many years, His accurate and informative reports have played no small part in the Hilltoppers' success,

Offensive Backfield Coach JIMMIE FEIX Jimmie Feix has an impressive and appropriate background for his duties as director of the Hilltoppers' offense He was selected to the Little All-America team in 1952 after quarterbacking Western to a tie for the ove championship and a 9-1 record that included a 34-19 triumph over Arkansas State in the Refrigerator Bowl at Evansville, Ind, Feix set Western and OVC records that season with 1,546 yards total offense and 1,581 yards JIMMIE FEIX passing, :vIurray's Charlie Forrest erased the confer ence total offense mark last fall, but Feix' passing records still stand, They include, in addition to the passing yardage mark, most completions in a season (11), most touchdown passes in a season (5), and highest completion percentage in a season (,6311, Feix was drafted by the New York Giants of the National Football League and was impressive in early drills before a serious injury ended his pro career, He returned to Western in 1957 after four years of service as a pilot in the U, S, Air Force, He served as a student assistant coach that first year while completing the requirements for the Master of Arts degree, He was named to his present post the following year,

6 Line Coach JOE BUGEL Joe Bugel is in his first year as a full-fledged mem ber of the Hilltopper coaching staff. He was a graduate assistant last year while completing work toward the Master of Arts degree and succeeded veteran line tutor Frank Griffin this year when Griffin left the staff to devote fui! time to his duties as physical education teachec and director of Western's intramural sports program. Bugel was a brilliant and inspirational leader as captain of Western's undefeated 1963 team. He was JOE BUGEL also a swift-moving offensive guard and a devastating linebacker on defense. For his fine play that season, Joe was voted the OVC's No. 1 guard by the league's coaches in the annual poll for the selection of the all-conference team. He also won the 1963 award as the team member with the highest academic standing. Joe brings to his new post his exuberant enthusiasm and desire for excellence and has shown ability to instill these same traits in his players. His first-hand knowledge of the defensive maneuvers needed to ,counter football's increasingly wide-open style of play should be a big asset to the Hilltoppers.

Denes' 1965 Size-Up The following is Coach Denes statemmt of what can be expected from the Hilltoppers this fall: "We may have more question-marks before us at the opening of fall practice than at any time in the past three years, mainly because we have fewer players with real experience than we had in 1963 or 1964. "A great deal of our chances for offensive success, naturally, depends upon the play of Ralph Seibel at quarterback. He got only limited experience last year in playing behind Sharon Miller, a senior, but we believe Ralph has the talent to take over and make the offense go. We have made a shift or two in our backfield personnel-John Burt to tailback from fullback and Elmer Murray from wingback to fullback-Ihat we feel will give us more efficient use of our material. However, we don't have nearly the depth in veteran backs that we had a year ago. "In the line, though, we may be a little more settled than we were at this same point last fall. The great number of young linemen we had to depend upon in 1964 have all picked up valuable experience. If our line transfers- Ralph Edwards, Jack Crangle, Wes Simpson and Tom Ruby-come on as quickly as we would like, they'll give us a tremendous boost. " There are depth problems at certain important positions, mailIly quarterback on offense and among the defensive secondary. We may have to use some incoming freshmen as reserves at those spots and that could make it rough for us, especially early in the season or in case of injuries. " I can't foresee anything bul another wide-open race for the OVC championship. It wasn't decided until the final game of the season last year and it probably won't be any different this time around."

1 At Rubber Bowl (35,452), Akron, 7:15 p. m. (CST)

Location: Akron, Ohio Nickname: Zips Founded: 1870 Colors: Blue-Gold Enrollment: 5,500 Offense: Pro-T Conference: Ohio Athletic 1964 Conf. Finish, Record: 4th, 4·3'() Coach: Gordon Larson (Kent St. '49 ) 1964 Overall Record: 6·3-0 AD : Kenneth Cochrane (Akron '32) Lettermen Lost: 13 SID: Ken MacDonald Lettermen Returning: 25

University of Akron sources bill the 1965 season as a rebuilding year for the Zips, malnly because of key losses in the middle of the offensive line. However, Coach Gordon Larson has 57 gridders, 25 of them lettermen, returning from the 1964 campaign.

He and his staff have changed their strategy for this fall, shifting the emphasis in their pro-type attack from the fullback to the quarterback. This is due mainly to the presence in the lineup of sophomore quarterback Mike Martin, a product of Canadian high school football. '

Playing as a regular only during the final half of the season last year, he com pleted 33 of 79 passes for two touchdowns and 410 yards. Fullback P ete Toto is expected to spearhead the running game. He carried the ball 96 times in 1964 for 405 yards, a 4.2 average and seven touchdowns. The tipoff on the kind of runner he is, even at a deceptively small 5-7 and 184 pounds, is the fact that he was never thrown for a loss during the entire season.

The Zips also have a pair of top-notch linemen in end Jim Barton and center Brad Dickerson. Barton, a husky 6-2, 21O-pounder, is the team's top returning pass catcher, having made 16 receptions last year for 198 yards.

Larson has indicated he would like to platoon his squad more this fall, but has already designated five players who will have to play on both offense and defense. As Akron faces what Larson calls its "toughest schedule ever," the coach says the defensive unit will have to carry the brunt of things in the early part of the season, while his sophomore-junior dominated offensive unit soaks up experience.

After a rebuilding ye3I' in 1964, East Tennessee should be a prime contender for the Ohio Valley Conference title again this fall. The Buc lineup is liberally sprinkled with veterans, headed by halfback David Holtsclaw and tackle Jim An derson, the team 's co-captains. Holtsclaw joined Western's Dale Lindsey and Morehead's Jack Smith as unani mous choices on last year's All·OVC team. Anderson, a 6-1, 240·pounder, was also named to the league's all-star aggregation. Holtsclaw was the OVC's No. 2 ground gainer last season, averaging 4.2 yards per carry on 648 yards in 153 tries. Other individuals to watch are end Wayne Waff, quarterback Larry Watson, wingback John Russ2w, guard LeRoy Gray and center Gary Phillips. Watson passed for seven touchdowns last lear, completing 43 of 97 tosses for 623 yards. Waff was one of his principal targets, snagging 15 passes for 194 yards and three TDs.

With a host of seasoned players returning from last year's OVC champions th also won the NCAA Mid-East College Division title by dumping Muskingum, 20· in the Grantland Rice Bowl, Middle Tennessee should be tough to dethrone. The Blue Raiders have the league's best passer for the past two years, Ted< Morris, returning at quarterback to spearhead the attack. He connected on 84 156 passes last fall for seven touchdowns. His favorite target, Jimbo Pearson (wI set an OVC record with 38 receptions), is gone, but Bob Hlodan, a swift and nimb halfback, bids fair to take up the slack in the receiving department. Hlodan aI, led the 1964 Raiders in rushing with a 5.5-yard average. Others who'll be bidding for all-star berths are guard Keith Atchley, fullba< Larry Mathews. guard Larry Dotson and tackle Frank Victory. Under veten coach Charles (Bubber) Murphy, Middle Tennessee teams have been speedy ar deceptive on offense, alert and rugged on defense. The Raider-Hilitopper fracl is annually one of the hardest-fought games of the OVC season.

The Governors were the surprise of the conference last year with their fine 8-1-1 overall record and the runnerup spot in the OVC race. Bill Dupes and his coaching staff compiled that strong record with a young team and Austin Peay should figure high in any projection of tltis year's conference title scramble. The Govs' most crippling loss from last season is probably at quarterback, where Carlton Flatt, the league's Back of the Year in 1964, is gone. The heir-apparent to the field general slot is Eddie Hartner, a junior-college transfer who completed 21 of 41 passes for 365 yards last year as Flatt's replacement. The top target is likely to be Ronni.. Parson, who caught 17 passes for 334 yards and four touchdowns last fall. The Govs should have a potent ground game, too. John Ogles is back after averaging 4.9 y~rds per carry as the starting fullback in 1964. He's a line-shredder of note and should complement the all-the way threat posed by speedy Tim Chilcutt. Along with Parson, other standouts in the line should be Claude Clements at the other end post, Tommy Dillard and Calvin Walter at tackles, and Tommy Dobbs at guard. Bobby Byrd, :m able reserve fullback on offense, gives Austin Peay n top-notch linebacker on defense-a spot in which he has been outstanding for the past two years.

Tennessee Tech tries to bounce back from its rough 1964 season with a squad that is looking for a take-charge quarterback and an inspirational defensive leader. The Eagles also hope to avoid the injuries in key spots that hurt so severely last fall. Tommy Van Tone, son of former Austin Peay head coach Art Vane Tone, could be the quarterback Tech needs. He should be ready to come into his own after picking up valuable experience last year, when he completed 10 of 45 passes for 120 yards. Tech has one of the finest running fullbacks in the league, veteran Ron Reeves. He led the OVC in rushing as a sophomore in 1963 and gained 398 yards for a 3.1 average in 1964. The remainder of the Eagle running corps will be led by Jim Whaley, Jim Broyles and Roy Sinkovich. Up front, the best bet for all-star honors is tackle Gene Holloway. The line should also get a boost with the return of Glenn Sexton, a 6-3 , 230-pound tackle. End Sammy Scott gives E agle quarterbacks a trusty passing target. He came from nowhere as a freshman last year, following an injury to senior Bobby Haile, and snagged 14 passes for 147 yards. 1964 GAME THE SERIES (Oct. 17 at Cookeville) (Tech leads. 14-13-1) Western 0 0 13 6-19 Year WK-TT Year WK-TT Tenn.

Finish, Record: No MVC Conference: Missouri Valley competition Coach: Jack Wallace (Pittsburg St.) 1964 Overall Record: 6-4-0 AD: Jack McClelland (Drake) Lettermen Lost: 14 SID: Paul Morrison Lettermen Returning: 23

This is Coach Jack Wallace's first year as head coach at Drake aIter serving five years as top assistant to Bus Merte, now on the staIf of the Denver Broncos in the American Football League. Wallace was highly pleased with Mertes' success at platooning last year (it helped bring the Bulldogs five straight wins at season's end) and plans to continue its use.

The Bulldogs have a depth problem at tackle, but appear to be adequately manned elsewhere. They have a proven offensive quarterback in Ron Royer-123 completions in 234 passes for 1,623 yards, 9 TDs over the past two seasons. However, it appears he may be pushed for the starting assignment by Torn Waller, who was something of a sensation in spring drills. Both are considered adequate runners in addition to their passing ability.

Drake will undoubtedly feel the scholastic loss of C. T. Traylor, the club's leading scorer and ground-gainer for the past two years. But fullback Ray Brown and halfback Roger Sparks should help take up the slack. The Bulldogs will also benefit from the services of several grldders who transferred from Detroit Universi ty when the Titans dropped intercollegiate football.

Co-captain Bob Perez, a 6-0, 22il-pound tackle, is billed as the squad's top offensive lineman, along with Gary Schirm. Tackle Ben Mayes, a 6-4, 225-pound standout as a frosh last season, and Steve Chevreaux, a 215-pound tackle trying, to bounce back from an injury, should help give the Bulldogs a rugged line.

Word from the Maroon camp is that Eastern plans to emphasize the passing game this year. opening up with pro-type formations and patterns. The aerial tactics will center around veteran quarterback Larry Mannie, reported to have added the long-pass threat to his already accurate short passing. He hit on 40 of 74 passes last season for 434 yards. one touchdown and only two interceptions.

Chief receivers should be .Tim Ratliff, Aaron Marsh, David Neff, Mike Smith. Fred Malins and Buddy Pfaadt.

Outstanding defenders figure to be Roy Evans, 6-5, 220-pound tackle being boomed for all-star honors, and rugged linebacker Dennis Bradford.

Morehead may have trouble again with the depth prohlem that contributed to the Eagles' late·season slump in 19ti4, when they dropped the final four games of the season after a torrid start. Last year the Eagles were one of the hardest-hitting teams in the league and they have the nucleus for the same type club again.

Their veteran halfback, Tally Johnson, should be one of the most versatile backs in the ove this season. He ran for 208 yards a year ago, an average of 3.2 yards per try. HE' is also a better-than-average passer, a capable place-kicker 01 PATs, 2 field goals last fall) , and a tricky runner, especially on punt aud kickoff returns. 'fommy Gray, the standout sprinter on the Eagle track team, gives the club a tremendous breakaway threat at one of the halfback spots.

Thp offense also gets a shot in the arm from quarterback Mike Gottfried, who flipped for 28 completions in 155 passes a year ago for 774 yards. Gray is one of his favorite receivers.

Up front, Morehead may be thin, but has a pair of fine linebackers in Richard Fletcher and Gary Virden. Virden doubles as an end on offense.

With eight of eleven starters back from last year's squad which tied four other teams for the Indiana Collegiate Conference title, veteran coach Tony Hinkle looks to be in pretty good shape for another run at the league crown. Butler has either won or tied for the ICC championship in each of the past six years.

The Bulldog's offense appears strong again with Joe Purichia back at the quarterback slot he handled. so effectively a year ago. He hit on 74 of 136 passes for 874 yards and six touchdowns and ran for 89 yards in 54 carries. The team's top five 1964 running backs-Dave Enright, Dan Warfel, Chuck Dennison, Dick Dullaghan and .J eff Brodine-are also ba.ck. Enright paced the group in total ground gaining last fall with 405 yards, while Warfel had the team's top average, 5.4 yards per try. Both are fullbacks, whlle Dennison, Dullaghan and Brodine run from the halfback slots.

End Steve Sadler, tackle Tom Sayer, guards Bob Crawford and Bill Torchia and center Ken Leffler head the returnees in the line.

New Starting Time For Day Games At Home

In hopes that it will be more convenient for both fans and press, Western is starting home day games this year (with the exception of the Homecoming game) at 1:30 p.m. (CST) rather than at the former starting time of 2 p. m. It is felt that this will give more daylight driving hours to people who must travel consider able distances to Hilltopper games and give representatives of the news media a 30-minute cushion in beating early deadlines.

Quarterback Charlie Forrest is probably the key to Murray's chances in the 1965 Ohio Valley Conference race. He is undoubtedly one of the most versatile and most explosive offensive backs in recent OVC annals. A powerful runner who can also show a bit of niftiness, he reeled off 590 yards on the ground last year for a 6.9·yard average per carry. At the same time, he connected on 64 of 150 pass at· tempts for 975 yards. His total offense figure-1,565 yards-snapped the former OVC record of 1,546 yards set by Western assistant coach Jimmie Feix in 1952. As further evidence of the offensive threat presented by Forrest, he was second only to Western's Jim Burt in scoring last season as he tallied seven touchdowns, kicked 10 PATs, ran for two others and booted a field goal for 59 points. Jerry Grantham, a former All·State high school player from Brownsville, Tenn., looms as Forrest's No. 1 aerial target. Grantham snared 13 passes in 1964 for 213 yards. In the line, the Thoroughbreds will undoubtedly miss the services of John WheelE'r, last year's Conference Lineman of the Year. However, tackle Charlie Mitchell and end John Watson should help ease the pain of Wheeler's departure.

BOWL APPEARANCES The Hilltoppers have appeared in two post-season bowl games. Their first was the Refrigerator Bowl at Evansville, Indiana, December 7, 1952. In that game Western, led by quarterback Jimmie Feix (now a Western assistant coach), whipped Arkansas State College, 34·19. The Hilltoppers had gotten the bid after winning eight games and losing only .me during the regular season. That lone loss, to Tennessee Tech <13-21 ), dropped Western into a tie with Tech for the Ohio Valley Conference championship.

Western made its second bowl foray on December 28 , 1963 , when it walloped United States Coast Guard Academy ill the Tangerine Bowl Classic at Orlando, Florida, by a score of 27·0. A perfect 6-0 league record and a 9-0-1 overall mark, the first undefeated season in Western grid history, earned the Tangerine berth for the Hilltoppers. Alaon Western Ky.
