TONIGHT'S CONTEST FIRST OF FOUR HOME GAMES FOR COACH NICK DENES' 1961 HILLTOPPERS; GET A SEASON TICKET; TENNESSEE TECH NEXT HOME FOE-BAND DAY AND YMCA CHEERLEADERS CLINIC.

Coach Nick Denes and his 1961 Hilltoppers open the home football campaign tonight against the East Tennessee State College Buccaneers from Johnson City, Tenn. Last year on the Bucca­ neers' home field the Hilltoppers fought the Tennesseans to a 7-7 deadlock. Tonight marks the 9th time these teams have met with the Big Red being victorious on five occasions. This will be first Ohio Valley Conference foe for the Hilltoppers. Season tickets for the Hilltoppers' four home games are now on sale priced at $5.00 for the reserved seats in SECTION D in the center of the stadium, and at $3.00 for any seat in the stadium, except SECTION D. Season tickets are on sale to night at the Stadium ticket offices. IF YOU HAVE NOT PURCHASED A SEASON TICKET GET A SEASON TICKET TONIGHT AND BE ON HAND FOR ALL OF THE HILLTOPPERS' HOME GAMES. Next Saturday the Western men will vie for top honors against Middle Tennessee State College at Murfreesboro, Tenn. The Blue Raiders will be out to avenge the 20-13 loss to the Hilltoppers last year. On Oct. 7, the Big Red will journey to Clarksville, Tenn. to do battle with the Austin Peay State College Governors. This game is not an Ohio Valley Conference contest. The second home game will be Oct. 14 agains t the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles, another of the OVC powerhouses. This game will make the annual and always colorful High School Band Day plus the YMCA Cheerleaders Clinic. On Oct. 21 the Hilltoppers will travel to Louisville to battle the University of Louisville Cardi­ nals. The Toppers lead the series with 11 games won against 9 losses. This game should prove a thriller from beginning to end. So be on hand to back the team. 2:00 Saturday afternoon, Oct. 28 at Richmond the Big Red will take on the long time rivals, the Eastern Maroons. This game marks the close of Eastern's Homecoming festivities. Western will be determined to avenge the 17-7 loss of last year. November 4 marks the high point of the home game stand for the Hilltoppers. The foe will be the Morehead State College Eagles. This Saturday afternoon will be the highlight of the West­ ern Homecoming Activities. The Eagles would like nothing better than to make it two in a row over the Hilltoppers. This weekend will also be highlighted by the Southern Kentucky Tobacco Festival. The Tobacco Festival Queen, the best band and the best float along with Western's Home­ coming Queen will be honored in the pre-game ceremonies. Western leads the series with 16 wins to 2 defeats. November 11 brings to a close the 1961 Hilltoppers season against the traditional rivals from the Purchase-the Murray Thoroughbreds. This game should be rough and tough for both teams. Murray is ranked among the OVC leaders and with the series tied with both teams winning 11 the competition should be tremendous.
