SAM ESPOSITO

Head Coach

Sam Esposito begins his fifth season at N. C. State in 1971, after leading the Wolfpack to an average of nearly 19 wins per season and to two sea-sons of 20 games or more won. His four-year record is 74-41, including a 41-28 Atlantic Coast Conference record and, in 1968, the ACC and NCAA {Dis- trict III championships. That 1968 title team reached a peak in N. C. State base- ball with a third-place tie in the College . That was the highest an A'OC team had climbed since 1955, when Wake Forest won the NCAA College World Series, and the 25 wins posted by that Wolfpack team was the most by an Esposito-coached Wolf- pack. Last season, State was 21-10 and in :the ACC title race most of the season. Coach of the Year Esposito, for 10 yea-rs an infielder, primarily with the , has already been cited twice for his coaching ability: he was voted NCAA District 111 Coach of the Year in 1968, when State was 13-4 in the league and 25-9 overall, and he was co-winner of the 1968 Will Wynne Award, presented annually to the main adjudged to have contributed the most to baseball in North Carolina. Esposito shared that award, made by the Raleigh League, with Jimmy Hunter of the Oak- land Athletics. Esposito, who also coached two State freshman basketball teams to winning records and who now assists in recruiting with the varsity basketball staff, actually played six different positions as a major leaguer. He was primarily a shortstop and third base- man during his nine years with the White Sox and his one year with the Kansas City Athletics. His most active season was in 1958, when he played in 98 games for the White Sox, batting .247, and he played for the White Sox in the 1959 World Series against the . Played at Indiana A 38-year-old Chicago native who’s still a bachelor, Esposito signed with the White Sox in June, 1952, after «his sophomore year at Indiana University, where he was attending school on a basketball grant-in-aid. Sam continued his education during the off-season and earned his bachelor’s degree in physical edu- cation, with a minor in social studies, at Indian-a in 1964. He was awarded his master’s degree while coaching and teaching in the East Chicago 'Public School system. He served as assistant basketball coach at Washington High for eight years. While at Indiana, Sam had one year of varsity competition in baseball and basketball.

Front cover: Lefthander Mike Caldwell, an all-ACC choice in 1970, brings a 23-10 career record into the 1971 season as he leads State's pitching staff. THE 1971 OUTLOOK

Despite a lack of batting power, N. C. State didn’t bow out of the Atlantic Coast Conference title race last year until the final day of the season. But the lone .300 hitter of l970—leftfielder Tommy Smith (.379 and 33 RBIs)—has graduated, indicating that offensive punch might again be a problem in 1971. Coach Sam Esposito, beginning his fifth season with the Wolf- pack, is counting on a return to form of senior third baseman Chris Cammack an-d senior lef-thander Mike Caldwell. The pair, both all-A'C-C choices last season, slumped in comparison to previous years, and must carry the young Pack. Cammack, a .355 career hitter and a second team NCAA District 111 selection in 1970, hit .293 as State finished 21-10 overall and 13-8 in the league. Craldwell, who was 16-5 his first two seasons with sub-2.00 ERAs, was 7-5 and allowed 3.34 earned runs per game. “We think both can come back,” said Esposito, who lost three starters off the 1970 Wolfpack. Smith, shortstop Darrell Moody and first baseman lDennis Punch have graduated, and some newcomers must fill key posi- tions for State to be successful in a schedule (32 games in less than two months) that puts a premium on good pitching and avoidance of injuries. Junior centerfielder Dick Greer and senior rightfielder Danny Baker return, both aiming to improve weak batting marks. Greer, who led the team with nine stolen bases, has good range and a deceiving arm, but hit only .269. Baker, who has the strongest arm among the outfielders, batted .217 despite a history as a strong hitter. He 'had a good summer, however, and could have found his batting eye. The third outfield spot will be contended for by freshman footballer Harvey Willis of Danville, Va., and soph footballer 'Pat Korsnick. Freshman Carl Lile of Indianapolis, Ind. and Pat McCabe also seek berths. Cammack, among the best ACC players the past three seasons, is unchallenged at third, which he handles with such aplomb that the made him a draft choice. Freshman Mike Royal of Fayetteville is the likely shortstop heir apparent to Moody, with Randy McMasters—who fielded well but hit below expectations last season—back at second. Hamlet's Jerry Mills can play second or short and will have opportunity to earn a position. Kelly Sparger, who hit .276 after a strong start last year, replaces Punch at first base. Bill Glad, .a superb defensive performer, will handle the catching duties as he did as a freshman last season. Glad, who hit, .143, is expected to improve that mark. His defense, his a-rm and his handling of have never been question marks. Caldwell will lead a pitching staff that must be effective early. The likely starting rotation will also include sophomore Bob Anderson (3-2, 4.80 ERA), whose added weight and experience make him stronger; senior John Lewis, who 6-0 record and 1.40 ERA paced State hurlers last season and sophomore Mike Evans, who was 1-0 last season. Senior Reid Carter can either start or pitch short a-nd long relief, as he did so effectively in 1970, and senior Dewey Brown will see relief duty again. Caldwell and Evans are lefthanders. Righthanders Billy Smith, a soph, and Mike Charron, a junior, will lend depth to the mound staff. Cha-rron was 3-2 last season, including a two-hit shutout over East Carolina. Tom Rempson, a strong lefthander from Sanford and a sopho- more who saw little action, will also be called on. “We have a combination of veterans and young people, and you never know how that situation will work out,” Esposito said. “I think the pitching will be strong and the defense will be good after some young people get experience. We’ll need those strengths to offset an expected lack of bat-ting power and run-scoring ability." MEET THE WOLFPACK

14 Athletics Administration

DR. RALPH E. FADUM

Faculty Chairman of Athletics North Carolina State University’s representative at the executive level in the Atlantic Coast Conference is Dr. Ralph E. Fadum, who has been Dean of the School of Engineering since 1962. This is Dr. Fadum’s eighth season as Faculty Chairman of Athletics at N. C. State University. The scholarly engineer, who is a former president of the ACC, is widely recognized as one of the nation’s top ranking authorities in the field of soil mechanics and foundations. A graduate of the University of Illinois and Harvard University, he has a distinguished career in teaching and research. He taught civil engineering and headed the University’s Department of Civil Engineering for 13 years. He came to State in 1949, following teaching assignments at Harvard (1935-1943) and Purdue (1943- 49). Dr. Fadum’s services as a consultant are sought by government and private concerns. He and his wife, Nancy Fields Fadum, have one daughter.

WILLIS R. CASEY

Director of Athletics The Director of Athletic-s at North Carolina State University is Willis R. Casey, who has served the Uni- versity Athletics Department in several capacities for 25 years. Casey was head swimming coach at N. C. State for 22 seasons, during which his teams posted a phenomenal dual-meet winning percentage of .866 and won outright or shared 11 Atlantic Coast Conference and Southern Con- ference swimming championships. State swimmers coached by Casey, who became Director of Athletics in July, 1969, won 123 individual AC-C titles. In addition, he coached the league’s first Olympic double gold medal winner, Steve Rerych. Casey, a native of Goldsboro, joined the State staff in 1946 after graduating from the University of North Carolina. He was appointed assistant-athletics director in 1949, and in 1967 he also became business manager of athletics. His 22 Wolfpack swimming teams never had a losing season, seven times posting undefeated records in dual- meet competition. His teams have won four NCAA and nine national individual AAU titles, as well as several AAU national team titles. He coached the American swimming team which represented the United States in Japan in 1959, and he took three Olympic champions to Paris, France, for swimming in 1969. Casey has managed ACC and Dixie Classic Basketball Tournaments, and three NCAA Eastern Regional Basket- ball Championships and championships in fencing and swimming have been organized under his direction. The often-honored administrator is married to the former Ethel Laughlin of Tarboro, and they are the parents of two sons, Robert, a State alumnus, and Walk-er.

15 North Carolina State University

North Carolina State University is located in the capital city of Raleigh, but its educational programs reach from the Atlantic Ocean to the Appalachian Mountains and beyond. Founded as one of the nation’s land-grant colleges in 1887, the institution opened with six professors, 45 students, one building, two mules and a horse. Today NCSU is a center of scientific, technological and lib- eral education. Enrollment has soared to more than 12,600 young men and CALDWELL women including some 2,200 graduate students. Faculty and staff number more than 3,000. The main campus encompasses some 100 buildings on 2,000 acres. Teaching, research and extension at NCSU cover studies as down to earth as soil science and as far out as aerospace engineering. The instructional program is offered through 60 academic departments under eight schools: Agricultural and Life Sciences, Design, Educa- tion, Engineering, Forestry, Liberal Arts, Physical Sciences and Applied Mathematics and Textiles. NCSU conducts research projects ranging from genetics to nuclear physics and from nematodes to lasers. The value of research this year was listed at $18.5 million. The research and academic know-how at NCSU work as catalytic agents to the entire economy and life of North Carolina—through the Agricultural Extension Service (which is headquartered at the campus) through the Industrial Extension Service and through the Division of Continuing Education (which conducts short courses and other programs across the State). Dr. John T. Caldwell, a past president of the American Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Col- leges, is chancellor of N. C. State. The University is an integral part of the Consolidated University of North Carolina. Rising enrollments and increasing demands for the services of the University have led to a continuing series of groundbreakings for new buildings. Work is progressing on a 10-story chemistry building, a $4.5 million education building, a major expansion to the School of Forestry and two additional high-rise dormitories. From modest beginnings in the 19th Century, North Carolina State University is serving the rising hopes of the 20th Century and looking toward the 215t.

16 JIM EDWARDS

Assistant Baseball Coach

J. B. (Jim) Edwards, who reached Triple-A ranks as a minor league shortstop, is in his 17th season as freshman and junior varsity baseball coach at N. C. State University. An N. C. State graduate, Jim earned an industrial arts degree in 1948. In 1951, he decided to leave his baseball career and join the staff at N. C. State, where he is now an associate professor of physical education. World War II interrupted a college career that saw him voted all- State in baseball and winner of the 175- pound Southern Conference wrestling title. A Lincolnton native who grew up at Wilmington, Jim spent four seasons as a Carolina League shortstop. He played with Buffalo (AAA) in 1950 while a member of the Philadelphia Athletics organization. Jim holds a Master’s degree in physical education, and is married to the former Odessa Williams of Robbins. They have a 13-year-old daughter, Gail.
