Head Coach A hard-nosed foot­ ball tactition and a gentleman best de­ scribe the two sides of Morehead State University coac h Guy Penny. The per­ son al Penny has led the Kentucky school to its finest football seasons and guided the Eagles to the 0 h i o V a I I e y co­ c h am pion s hip in 1962, the first in the history of MSU. - P enny teams recorded three winning seasons in a row, something which previous coaches had not done for over 20 years, but saw h is teams slide to a 3-6 record last year. With the presence of winning football, MSU dedi'cated the 10,000 seat Breathitt Sports Cen­ ter stadium in 1965 to support one of the fastest growing football programs in the conference. Much of the credit for this new era of football must go to Penny and his dedicated staff. A fir m believer in a solid defense and an imaginative offense, P enny's teams have been noted for their rock-ribbed defense and pro­ type wing-T and flanker offense. Coupled with a policy of intense desire to win and superb conditioning, Morehead's football program is conducted on a high level of achievement. A native of Alabama, Penny played his col­ legiate football at the University of Mississppi where he played both fullback and guard. Coach J ohnny Vaught calls him "One of the outstanding students of the game I have had the pleasure o•f coaching." His coaching career began with high school stints in Collinsville, Alabama, and at Geneva High Sch ool in his h ome state. H e moved into the college ranks as an assistant coach at Martin Branch of the University of Tennessee until assuming the reins at Morehead in 1959. In seven seasons at the Morehead helm h e has guided the Eagles to a 27-33-1 record. He will begin his 8th can1paign with a voung back­ field and an experienced line which must face the roughest sch edule since the popular Ala­ bami'an h as been on campus. The 38-year-old coach is m arr ied and h as three future Eagle cheerleaders- Debbie, Dee and Diane. Jerry Denstorff . Defensive Line Coach

A fter serving as offensive backfield coach for two years, Denstorff will direct the de­ fensive line this season. Earl Bentley, who has been the defensive coach since 1959, has been gr anted a sabbatical leave to begin work on a doc­ ., ( ,. torate degree and the versatil e Denstorff was chosen by P enny to fill the gap. Denstorff was a successful high school coach at Mitchell High Sch ool, Mitchell, Indiana, a nd his la!'t team was undefeated with an 8-0 rec­ ord. In his last two years at Mitchell, h is team had a 14-1 record. A graduate of Evansville College, he played football at ho•th Evan sville and Louisiana Uni­ versity State Univer sity. He h ad previously starred as a fullback at R ockport, Indiana, H igh School. Denstor[f serves as tennis coach during t he Spring and is marr ied and the father of two young sons.

Bill Bowers . . Offensive Backfield Coach

With J erry Denstorff moving to the defensive line, Bill Bowers will assume the offen­ sive backfield duties after guiding the defensive back­ field last year. B owers is in his second sea- t. son at Morehead and has Y proven his value to the coaching staff on sev­ eral occasi'ons, especially in scouting. Bowers played football and graduated from Miami U niversity of Ohio . He coached at Talawanda H igh School, Oxford, Ohio, for two years prior to accepting a p osition with Mor e­ head . Bowers is also a very successful w restling coach at Morehead and led h is team to t he mythical OVC championsh ip last year while posting a l 1-1 season r ecord. He is married and has one son. Ron Durby . . . . . Offensive Line Coach

In his first season at Mo,re­ head, Durby will assume the duties of offensive line coach. The 1964 University of Ala­ bama graduate comes to More­ head from Walker County High School, J asper, Alabama, which had a 7-2-1 record last year. While at Alabama, Durby was a m ember o{ the All-Southeastern Con­ ference academic team and was a third-team All-America selection at tackle. He was also the r ecipient of the J immy Moore academic award presented to the athlete wtih the high­ est academic achievements. He was a high school standout at Treadwell High School in Memphjs, Tennessee. Durby is married and has one son.

Mike Brown . Defensive Backfa!d Coach

Also in his first year on the Eagle coaching staff is Mike Brown, a 1963 Morehead grad­ uate, who will take charge of the defensive backfield. Brown was captain of the 1962 Morehead team which tied for the Ohio Valley Con­ ference championship. He was defensive back of the year, an All-OVC selec­ tion and was awarded three letters. Brown received the Sigma Delta award as the o,ut­ standing physical education student his senior year. He also starred in high school at Logan, Ohio. Upon graduation, Brown served as a grad­ uate-assistant at the University of Tennessee before acceptir1g an assistant coaching job in t he high school ranks in Orrville, Ohio, last year. Brown is married.

Graduate Assistant-Tom Kingery (Marshall '60) Trainer-Harold Barker (Morehead '55) 1966 OUTLOOI( Morehead State Unversity will be faced , with a quarterback problem in 1966 for the first time in four years with the graduation of Mike Gottfried. Gottfried set every passing record in Morehead history and surpassed two Ohio Valley Conference · marks and tied an- . other. · Without a proven candidate for the quarter- . back slot, the Eagles will devote much of the spring practice drills to extra quarterback work with senior's L arry Chinn, a junior col­ lege All-American, Tom Close and junior Tommy Eads dividing the time. Eads is a two yeRr ]eiterman at halfback. Chinn is a sprint-out passer and is always a threat to run or pass any time he has the ball. Close and Eads are both adequate passer's from the pocket, but lack Chinn's speed and ability to pass on the run. Eads played safety for the defensive unit last year. Ends should be the strongest position for the Eagles with the return of lettermen Scotty Reddick, Richard Cobb, Bill Baldridge, Rico K 'ng and Marvin Hicks. Reddick is an outstanding receiver and has the speed to make him a definite scoring threat. He also handles kick-off returns and ran 94 yards for a touchdown last year. Balcfridge will probably get the nod at the tight end with , Hicks and Russell devoting their time to the defensive unit. · Three top tackles also return with two year ·]etterman Paul Conner leading the way. Other returning lettermen are Cole Proctor and Gary McKinney. Conner and McKinney were consistent per­ formers on defense last year and Proctor was important in the offensive pocket pass protec­ .tion. Transfer Warren Purvis, 6-5, 250, pounds, will give the Eagles added tackle strength and may move McKinney to the offensive unit. Guards and centers should be the nucleus for an excellent interior line with the return of seven lettermen, four at guard and three cen­ ters. Three year letterman Gary Virden will lead the candidates and will get support from Tt>rry H offman, David Moore, Jim Ross, Fred Conroy, Ron Breitfelder and Lloyd Cumming. Virden is a strong All-OVC candidate at line­ backer as he has starred at that position for the last three years. Breitfelder h as the inside chance to j~in him at linebacker with offensive starters Moore and H offman returning at guard and C umming at center. Ross is the defensive middle guard. Halfbacks and fullbacks will b e lon g on ex­ perience with six returning halfbacks and one fullback. Two year letter winners at h alfback are Tommy Gray and Eads. Charles Hicks, , Leon Wesley, J oe Cox and J . C. Stubbs have lc-ttP.red once along with fullback Otto Gselll. Gray, Hicks and Wesley are also track sprinters with Gray holding the sch ool recocrd of 9.4 in t he 100 and 21.0 in the 220. Gray will h ave the nod at one halfback with reserve help from Wesley. Joe Cox, 6-1, 200-pound sophomore, will use his strength and receiving . abilities to be the top contender at wi'ngback ,l!ld Gsell heads the list at fullback. Sophomore· Mike Mincey will give Gsell a battle at full­ back after he gains experience. Stubbs handles the Eagle punt returns and will return to his defensive halfback post. All in all, the Eagles should improve on the;r 3-4 OVC and 3-6 overall record of last year if they can find an adequate quarterback. Ex­ peri"ence is deep with every position boasting several returning lettermen. The Eagles will be without the passing services of Gottfried but should have one of their best offensive running games i'n recent years. 1965 Final Statistics First Downs Fumbles Rush Pass Total Made Lost Moreh ead 62 62 124 19 11 Foes 88 42 130· 38 23 RUSIDNG Carry Gain Loss Net Avg.

Annual Shrine Game

Morehead State University will play in the annual Shrine game in Ashland for the fourth straight year. The Eagles were victorious in their first two outings in the Shrine Game, defeating Butler University 31-13 in 1963 and Marshall Uni­ versity 6~0 in 1964, but were forced to forfeit a 12-9 victory over Youngstown University last year. The game is played for the benefit of various Shrine charities and is made possible by More­ head playing one home game each year in Ash­ land. This year's Shrine Game on O0tober 1 will pit Morehead against OVC foe Tennessee Tech. Added features of the Shrine Game are a parade through downtown Ashland and a re­ ception for MSU alumni, faculty, students and friends at the Henry Clay Hotel. Morehead Football Since 1956
