20 Official Football Program Bowl Victories, League Titles Spice Grid History Western Kentucky University football has a distinct history of its own. It is a past filled with two victorious Bowl appearances and five Little All­ Americans, in addition to 246 victories, 150 defeats and 23 ties. Those 246 victories were fashioned under the guidance of coaches M. A. Leiper, J. L. Arthur, L. T. Smith, E. A. Diddle, James Elam, Ernie Miller, Jesse Thomas, Carl Anderson, W. L. Terry, Arnold Winkenhofer, Jack Clayton and Nick Denes. Western's initial intercollegiate football game was against Middle Tennessee in WE'RE SERVING 1914 when MTSU thrashed Western Normal 47-0. But Western bounced back in its third contest of that 1914 season to claim its first intercollegiate victory, an 18-0 triumph over Eastern Kentucky. Until 1927 Western did not have a stadium. Practice was held on a field where Bowling Green High School is now located. And the m an who has made Western athleticaly what it is today, E. A. Diddie, was the Topper coach when Western Stadium THE CITY was constructed, replacing an old stone quarry on College Heights. The Hilltoppers' first home game in Western stadium was a smashing 61-0 success over Bethel (Tenn.) College under the watchful eyes of 1,200 fans in a h eavy rain. Western's first homecoming win was a 7-6 effort against the University of Louisville in 1927. Since that time Hilltopper teams have turned in 24 additional homecoming victories compared to only 11 losses and two ties. WHICH BACKS Some of Western's past opponents are listed among the nation's major grid powers. Miami (Fla.), Mississippi, Vanderbilt, Kansas State, Louisiana State and Marshall have garnished Western's table of opponents. Recently retired Topper head mentor Nick Denes departed as the dean of Western football coaches in point of service and total victories. Serving Western faithfully for THE TEAM 11 seasons, Denes guided the Hilltoppers to 57 victories while losing 39 and tying seven. This stint included an OVC championship, a bowl victory, and Western's only unde­ feated team in intercollegiate competition (1963; 10-0-1). Since joining the Ohio Valley Conference in 1948, when Jack Clayton was head coach, Western has compiled a 54-56-7 record and won two league championships. Western century m arks have been a 100th win against Kansas State (7-0 in 1937), THAT HAS THE a 200th win against Austin P eay (20-0 in 1959) and a 100th loss to Evansville (21-13 in 1954). In 1952, the Clayton-coached Toppers ended the season with a 34-19 Refrigerator Bowl victory over Arkansas State for a final 9-1-0 record. In 1963, Denes' Hilltoppers earn ed Western's second bowl triumph with a 27-0 trouncing of the U. S. Coast Guard Academy in the Tangerine Bowl. Western football has also left its impression on the professional ranks. Former. POW E R Hilltopper great Dale Lindsey, a 1964 Topper Little All-American, is presently a linebacker with the . Another former Western star, Eagle Keys, played for several years with the pros and is now head coach of the of the League. HILLTOPPER LITTLE ALL-AMERICANS GO
