Memorial Stadium, home of the Cardinal gridders, is located on the edge of the campus on Center Street two blocks north of West Home Street. The stadium and ad joining bleachers seat 4000, and the two-tiered press box atop the stadium accomodates 30. Space in the press box obviously is limited, and therefore should be requested by members of the media in advance of the game. This is particularly so for radio stations since all games are broadcast by the Otterbein campus station, and only one other station can be served in the press box. Places for the sports information director and stati sticians of the visiting schools are reserved each week. Requests for remaining space in the press box will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Requests for press box space, further information, pictures, or statistics should be directed to Bill Skaates, Sports Information Director, Otterbein College, Wester ville, Ohio 43081. Telephone (614' 882-3601, Ext. 300; or (614) 882-1121 (home). 1 FACTS ABOUT OTTERBEIN NAME........................................................

From the time Agler starred as a fullback for Otter- bein until the present his name has been almost synony mous with Otterbein football. He returned to his alma mater In 1953 as a part-time assistant, was named head coach in 1955 and held the post for 11 years, departing with the best ever Otterbein coaching record of 57-36-4. Agler earned an M.A. degree at Ohio State University, and has taken further advanced study at the same uni versity toward a Ph.D. degree. * ★ * ★ * Beginning his third year as head football coach at Otterbein, Larry Lintner has high hopes of elevating the Cards to a better record than the identical 2-7 marks of the past two seasons. He played under Bob Agler while a student at Otter bein and served as co-captain of the 1956 squad. Like Agler, Lintner was a hard running fullback and recog nized as the stabilizer of the squad. After graduating from Otterbein Coach Lintner was named head coach at Watkins Memorial High School (Pataskala) where he spent six years building an envi able record as a class “A” High School Coach. For two seasons he worked closely with Agler as a member of the Otterbein football coaching staff. In 1965 Lintner earned an M.A. degree from Ohio University. 4 HlETIC staff ELMER (BUD) YOEST End Coach This marks the 13th year that Bud Yoest has served CJS an assistant Otterbein football coach. Like Lintner, Yoest, too was a former Otterbein ^ridder (end) who returned to his alma mater shortly cjfter graduation. Under Coach Lintner, Yoest has been v^orking with the offensive ends, a familiar position for fhe veteran mentor since he played end in college. After graduating from Otterbein in 1953, Yoest was on the staff at Mifflin High and returned to help Agler part- time in 1956. In 1958 he became a full time member of the department and was assigned the responsibilities of Head Track Coach. DICK FISHBAUGH Tackle Coach The newest full-time member of the Otterbein
