Aerial View Of Western Campus

Over the years since it was founded in 1906, Western Kentucky University has compiled a solid record of service to the citizens of the Commonwealth. Western was originally created for the sole purpose of training 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 University now offers four four-year undergraduate degrees, two two-year undergraduate degrees and four graduate degrees with course offerings in twenty·seven different departments. The enrollment at Western this fall was again expected to be at an ali-time high, approximately 9,500 students. This is more than five times the enrollment of iust 11 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. Finley C. Grise Hall, a modern and spacious classroom facility, was opened last year, as were three new dormitories-one women's and two men's. This fall marked completion of work and occupancy of the new Lawrence W. Wetherby Administration Building and the Kelly Thompson Complex for Science and Hardin Planetarium. Construction began earlier this year on two more men's residence halls and the new Athletics Complex, which will include a 16,OOO-seat football stadium (see page 8). A Master Plan for campus development encompasses all these additions to the physical facilities of the University, along with a succession of others as Western continues to grow. Western's 183-aere campus, recognized as one of the most beautiful in the nation, is crowned by a commanding hlll, from whlch Hilltopper athletic teams derive their nickname. It presents a marvelous view from any entrance to the city. 2 1967 HILLTOPPER FOOTBALL Index AlI-OVC Players ______30 Athletic Director Ted Hornback ______..4 Attendance Figures ______1 Bowl Appearances ______Inside Back Cover Coaches' Sketches ______5-7 Coaching Records (All-Time) ______8 Depth Chart ______11 General Information on the University ______1-2 Lettermen List ______9 Little All-Americans ______30 New Stadium, Athletics Complex ______8 Opponents ______19-27 OVC Champions (Year-by-Year) ______Inside Back Cover OVC Standings (All-Time) ______Inside Back Cover Player Sketches ______12-18 President Kelly Thompson ______4 Press, Radio, TV Outlets, Information ______Inside Front Cover Pronunciation Guide ______11 Prospectus (Coach Denes' Size-Up) ______9 Records ______31-33 Results ( All-Time) ______34-36 Results ( 1966) ______1 Roster ______1 0 Sched ule (1967) ______1 Schedule (Opponents' Composite) ______Back Cover Statistics (1966) ______28-29

3 President KELLY THOMPSON This fall marked the beginning of the twelfth year in office for Western lI:entucky University's third presi· dent, Dr. Kelly Thompson. His tenure as administrative head of the institution has marked the most progressive era in its history. In that period, Western's enrollment has grown from 1,684 to an estimated 9,500 this fall; 20 major construe· tion projects have been completed on the campus, others are currently under way, and a master plan for de· velopment of the campus calls for still more; and Western's CUITiculum has undergone almost constant DR. THOMPSON revision and expansion. Western attained University status in 1966 and its operational framework includes five colleges, each with its own dean. A native of Lebanon, Kentucky, Dr. Thompson joined the Western administratiw staff in 1929 as Field Representative. He became Director of Public Relations ill 1935 and was made assistant to Western's second president, Dr. Paul L. Garrett, in 1946. Dr. Thompson was named president of the University 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 seJected to travel abroad in 1965 as a part of a Higher Education Administration project sponsored by the Agency for International Development. Governor Edward T. Breathitt presented Dr. Thompson with the first "Kentucky Distinguished Citizen Award" in 1965. He is active In numerous civic and religious affairs and is ex· tremely 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 Ted Hornback is a veteran of 29 years on Western Kentucky's athletic staff. He succeeded Western's re­ nowned former basketball coach, E. A. Diddle, as Athletic Director in 1965. Hornback was acting Athletic Director in 1964·65, his first year out of active basketball coaching since he graduated from Western in 1929 fol· lowing 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 Recreation from 1947 until 1965. Hornbacl< al so coaches the Hilltopper tennis team, an endeavor in which he has had ')early phenomenal success. His netters have won 11 Ohio Valley Con· feren ce titles since the league was formed in 1948, the latest championship coming in 1965. He has led the tennis team to 216 dual match victories against only 54 <\efeats over the past 25 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 36-year career-stands at an amazing 539 vic­ tories matched against just 199 defeats and 15 ties. He has twice been voted the Ohio Valley Conference "Coach of the Year" Award, (irst 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 ten seasons Denes ' Hilltoppers teams have won 50, lost 38 and tiod 6. He also coached Western's baseball team for five seasons, 1958 through 1962 , with his diamond teams posting a record of 49 wins, 39 losses and a tie. 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 co,ached teams to State prep championships in three different sports: in football at Louisville Male in 1951, in basketball at Corbin in 1933, 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-nine years ago, Denes graduated from the University of illinois in 1929. His playing career there was cut short by an injury, but he coached the Illini freshman gridders during his senior year. He was head coach at Corbin from 1929 through 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 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 sue-cess in Kentucky high school coaching circles. TURNER ELROD Elrod .trongly advocates and stresses fundamentals in coaching his defensive players, but still finds time to cultivate their individnal 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 Hilltoppcrs' success.

Offensive 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 nnd a 9-1 record that included a 34-19 triumph over Arkansas State in the Refrigerator Bowl at Evansville, Ind. Feix set Western and ove records that season with 1,546 yards total offense and 1,581 yards JIMMIE FEIX passing. His total offense record was unbroken until 1964 and his passing mark stood until the 1965 season.

His 1952 completion percentage-ll1 of 176 attempts for a .631 average-is still an ove record. Feix was drafted by the of the 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 3S 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 third year as a full-fledged mem­ ber of the Hilltopper coaching staff. He was a graduate assistant in 1964 while completing work toward the Mastel' of Arts degree and succeeded veteran line tutor Frank Griffin in 1965 when Griffin left the staff to devote fuil time to his duties as physical education teacher 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 also a swift-moving offensive guard and a devastating JOE BUGEL linebacker on defense. For his fine play that season, Joe was voted the ove'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 coaching 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 line maneuvers needed to go with football's increasingly wide-open style of play should be a big asset to the Hilltoppers. Graduate Assistant Coach JERRY GLANVILLE For a graduate assistant, Glanville brings an un­ usual amount of coaching experience to the Hilltopper staff, which he joined last January. He coached for three years at a Lima, Ohio, high school. His 1964 team there was ranked 17th in the state. He has also served as a graduate assistant at Northern Michigan Uni­ verSity. A two-year high school all-state gridder at Perrys­ burg (Ohio) High School, Glanville waS named the out­ standing lineman at Montana State in 1960 before trans­ JERRY GLANVILLE ferring to Northern Michigan. His principal assignment is developing tbe Hilltoppers' defensive line. Graduate Assistant Coach ROBBIE FRANKLIN Franklin has been an outstanding lineman for the University of Tennessee's Volunteers for the past three years. He was an offensive guard in his sophomore and senior seasons and played defensive middle guard as a junior. Noted for his consistency and his leader­ ship qualities, he played on Tennessee squads that compiled a record of 20 wins, 9 losses and 6 ties, and won two major bowl victories. A graduate of Knoxville's Holston Hills High School, Franklin will help in Western's scouting program and will handle the "scout" teams in preparing the varsity ROBBIE FRANKLIN ' squad for each Saturday's opponent. 7 NEW ERA TO BEGIN IN 1968

Architect's Rendering of Athletics Complex Western Kentucky University expects to begin a new era in its athletic pro­ gram in September, 1968, wben it opens its new Athletics Complex. Tbe Com­ plex, to be located just south of Academic-Athletic Building No. I-E. A. Diddle Arena, will include a 16 ,OOO-seat stadium and football field, practice field, baseball field and tennis courts. The principal structure, designated Academic-Athletic Building No. 2-L. T. Smith Stadium, will include 13 classrooms, 24 offices, numerouS dressing, training and storage facilities, as well as concession stands, equipment rooms and a press box to accommodate approximately 80 people. The playing surface will include facilities for track, in addition to those for football. The completion of these facilities together, with the existing A-A Building and Diddle Arena, will give Western one of tbe most complete, convenient and modern athletic plants in the nation. AGGREGATE RECORD OF WESTERN COACHES COACH SEASONS WON LOST TIED PCT. M. A. Leiper, Roy Mancbester

Denes' 1967 Size-Up The' followiog is Coach Denes' statement of what can be expected from the Hilltoppers this fall: "One of our top problems this fall is a lack of depth in our defensive platoon, especially in the secondary. Depth at offensive center could also be a problem. We lost two centers and shifted Ron Greenwell there from guard in spring drills to help take up the slack. Among the improvements we have to make is the need to beef up our de­ fense, especially against paSSE S. We also need to iooprove our goal-line offense to take better advantage of Our scoring opportunities. "On the other hand, our strong points include our overall abundance of ex­ perience, especially at quarterback, where we have proven performers in both Mike Egan and Johnny Vance. Our kicking should be improved, too, mainly be­ cause of added experience. "Summing up, we should be contenders. But how strong and how long we can stay in the race depend upon several things, namely our abllity to avoid injuries to key personnel and how well we can handle some of our OVC rivals, several of which also figure to be vastly improved this season. The league should have great balance. At this point, I don't know of any team that can be entirely counted out of title speculation." 9 1967 HILLTOPPER ROSTER No. Player Pos. Class Ht. wt. Age Ltrs.

The loss of nifty-throwing quarterback Duffy Hagist and velvet fingered end Mike Sheahan may force the Pumas' running game to carry a bigger share of the offensive load this season. Top ball carriers will probably be veterans Jim Piejko, Tim Carmody and Dennis Veno, with frash Jack Schumacher and Karl Maio also bidding for regular spots. Varsity returnees Jim Graham and Al Bucina head the battle for Hagist's vacated quarterback post, with Randy Traugh, Milt Payton and Wayne Tilton re­ turning to take up some of the slack left by Sheahan's departure at end. St. Joseph's defense, led by ends Jim Dundas and Tom Burke, tackles Jim Taggart and Bob Cummings and middle linebacker Jesse Taggart (an All-Con­ ference pick last year), could be the strongest phase of the Pumas' game. Outstanding offensive linemen include guards Jim Sullivan and Stan Wos and tackles Joe Mercado and Mike Gurgone.

Austin Peay's defense should be extremely stingy, since the Govs' have all but one regular returning off that platoon from last year. Coach Bill Dupes lists his top '67 problem as finding replacements for five regulars from last fall's offens­ ive contingent.

However, the Govs have a solid nucleus to build around, including quarterback Carl Williams, who led the OVC in total offense a year ago with 1,470 yards. Biggest backfield gap was left by the graduation of Little All-American fullback John Ogles.

Other top returnees include linebackers Phil Farinella and George White, center Jerry Taylor, tackle Doug Pittenger, safety Howell F1att and defensive end Billy Joe Jeans. Key line and defensive losses were All-OVC performers Ronme Parson at end, Calvin Walter at tackle, Tommy Dobbs at guard and Andy Toombs at defensive halfback.

U the momentum from the Buc.caneers' late '66 surge carries over into this season, the E ast Tennesseans might well be the DVC's dark horse. They finished last season with a narrow 13-7 loss to champion Morehead before knocking Middie Tennessee out of a share of the league title with a 12·0 victory. The Buc offense should be solid, with Mike Young at quarterback, Jerry Daughtry and John Thomas at hailbacks and either Benny Lemon or Bill Droke at fullback. The defensive line also appears well-manned again, since "only" Little All­ American LeRoy Gray is gone from his middle guard post. However, two capable replacements, 213-pound Sam Riddle and Butch Buchanan, 200, loom to succeed Gray. . ~j With returning lettermen at nearly every position, East Tennessee appears a cinch to improve on last season's seventh-place OVC finish.

The Eagles bank on an experienced batch of lineman and Larry Schreiber, a top-notch fullback, to help them continue their climb back toward OVC football prominence. Schreiber, playing his first year of collegiate competition in 1966, racked up 591 yards for an average of 4.2 yards per carry. Guard Steve Dillard leads a veteran offensive line that cleared the way for 2,126 yards on the ground last year. He should get considerable blocking help from tackle Bob Dominick. Another offensive lineman who should figure big in Tech's '67 plans is end David Hudson, who snared 17 passes last year. Dale Swain will return to handle the quarterback chores and middle guard Bob Sam heads up a stalwart defense. They'll help offset the losses of standouts like all-league linebacker Jerry Cantrell, end Tommy Cassell, defensive tackle Gene Holloway and offensive tackle Rick Somerall.

When thinking of the Colonels, it's the passing of Jim Guice that ,comes to mind as the biggest single threat. The Eastern quarterback topped all passers in the OVC a year ago, setting a completion record with 117 successful tosses. He connected for 14 touchdowns and 1,468 yards, putting the ball in the air 226 times. He was the kingpin in the Colonels' solid '66 showing and should be at least as dangerous this season. Guice has a capable receiver returning in Aaron Marsh, but Coach Roy Kidd bemoans a lack of speed in the Eastern backfield. Eastern's defensive secondary will miss the work of All-OVC performer Buddy Pfaadt, but the Colonels' hope their veteran linemen, headed by Chuck Seimon, rom Shetler and Charles Metzger, can mount a consistent rush to keep opposing passers off balance.

The Eagles, defending champs of the Ohio Valley Conference, have speed galore and plenty of first-line experience for 1967, but Coach Guy Penny fears that depth could be his club's major problem.

The speed department features two of the nation's swiftest backs, Tommy Gray, a 9.3-second performer in the lOO-yard dash, and Leon Wesley, another flashy sprinter. Gray topped the Eagles' running game with 598 yards in only 92 carries last year. He came off the bench to spark Morehead's victory over Western. Fullback Otto Gsell furnishes the backfield power and Tommy Eads returns to the quarterback post.

The Eagle line will show seasoned veterans at all positions, headed by Paul Conner, Jim Ross, Marvin HickS, Gary McKinney, Terry Hoffman, Bill Wamsley, Dave Haverdick, Bill Baldridge, David Moore and Jino Fisher. Conner was an AlI-OVC choice last year, Baldridge was a second-team pick and Hicks and Wesley received honorable mention.

Experience could be the key tbat opens the door of success for the Blue Raiders tbis season. With 32 lettermen back from last year's squad that finished second in the OVC race, MTSU has few replacement problems. Biggest of these is finding players to take over for Bob IDodan at halfback and Larry Dotson at linebacker. Soph Gene Carney, who picked up 121 yards in 15 carries in last spring's Blue-White game, could succeed IDodan. Jimmy Dunn, a ISS-pounder from Savannab, Ga., appears the top candidate for Dotson's job. Coach Bubber Murphy, with a career record of 148 wins and only 50 losses and 8 ties, counts on proven linemen to clear the way for his offense and to stop opposing attacks. Huge tackles Bob Langford (250) and Frank Victory (245) re­ turn, along with ends George Claxton and Phil Watts and middle guard Rodney Hayes. Last year's top quarterback, Billy Walker, also returns and has two favorite targets back, ends Herbert Owenby and Ken Caplenor.

The current season will probably have to be billed as a rebuilding year for the Bulldogs. Most of last year's squad is gone, including All-ICC fullback Dan Warfel and quarterback Dick Caranddo. Only end Vic Wukovits, top scorer and pass receiver on the team in '63, returns to a starting post in the line. Eddie Bopp may inherit the No. 1 quarterback post. He waS a letter wilmer last fall, but spent his time as a defensive safety rather than at the signal-calling slot. Damon Gates, last year's runnerup to Warfel in the rushing department, is expected to van the ball-carriers. He'll team with Larry Gilbert and Mike Harrison to give Butler three lettermen at the running back positions.

Vince League is expected to win one of the tackle spots, with either Wayne Kotulic or Patrick Kress getting the other. The other line spots, though, seemed to be up for grabs at the start of fall practice.

Depth is probably the No.1 problem for Coach Bill Furgerson in his first year as boss of the Racers. Most of the reserve strength will have to come from freshman and junior college transfers, since Murray has only 14 lettermen re­ turning this fall. The top returnees are quarterback Larry Tillman (who passed for 469 yards in 1966), linebacker Carl Chipman, split end Harvey Tanner, tackle George Rice and guard Tony Sims. Furgerson also expects help from quarterbacks Bud Qualk and Wayne Tice, backs Dennis Hawkins, Ken Pelot and Russell Hake, linebacker Greg Berry and guard Larry White, all redshirts; tackle David Randolph and defensive back Don Veatch, transfers; and center Roger White, end Gerald Young and linebacker Doc Sanders, junior college transfers.
