EASTERN KENTUCKY UNIVERSITY

Growth - in quantity and quality - has been the theme at Eastern Kentucky University. The quantity speaks for itself. With an enrollment of more than I 3,000 students, the University's student body has more than tripled since 1960. As a result, new dormitories and large , w e ll-equipp ed academic s tructures hav e been built.

Dr. J. C. Powell will be completing his seventh year as president of the University in October. Powell, the school's seventh president , succeeded Dr. Robert R. Martin who served EKU in that position for 16 ¼ years.

At a 1978 Board of Regents meeting, Eastern was reorganized into nine colleges and a graduate school. Five colleges - Applied Arts and Technology , Business , Education , Law Enforcement and Allied H ealth and Nursing - remain e d intact.

Four new colleges were created , including Natural and Mathematical Sciences, Social and Behavioral Sciences , Arts and Humanities and Health , Phys ical Education , Recreation and Athletics.

The mast e rs d eg r ee is offered in several fields as is the specialist degree. A joint doctoral program in education is sponsored in cooperation with the Univ e r s ity of Kentucky.

The physical plant has undergone building and renovation programs totaling more than $138 million since 1960. During thi s pe r iod every existing major campus facility has been remodeled or completely r eco nstruct ed.

EASTERN KENTUCKY UNIVERSITY 1983 Football Prospectus

Eastern Kentuc k y University head football c oach Ro y Kidd returns 27 le tterm en from last season's Ohio Valley Conference and NCAA Divisi o n I- AA national champions hi p team Kidd. who begins his 20th season at Eastern with a 146-55-6 record, has guided the Colonels to the I-AA ti t le game for four consecutive seasons, ha ving a lso wo n a nati onal championship in 1979.

Senior receiver Tron Armstrong (6-1. 198), a firs t team All-OVC and honorable mention All -A merican perfor mer in 1982. leads Colonel returnees. Armstrong, who played tight end in 1982 but who co uld move in 1983 to flanker. was Eastern and the OVC's second-leadi ng recei ve r last yea r with 38 ca t ches for 475 yards and four TD's.

Also return in g for Eastern on offense is sen ior tailbac k Terence Thompson (5-9. 182) T h ompson. an AII-OVC player as a sophomo r e ran for 883 yards and seve n TD's last yea r and is e xpected to ca rry the bulk of the rushing load if he stays healthy in 1983

Three par t -time s tarters will also be back for t h ei r sophomore pass receiving seasons .

Flanker Alvin Blount (6-4, 199) headed this group with nin e catches last season for 124 yards. Flanker Isiah Hiil (5-9 157) a nd ti g ht e nd Simon Codrin gton (6 -3, 19 5) round out the re turn ing receivers.

Pe rhaps the biggest streng t h of the ' 83 Colonels lies o n the offensive lin e w here four starte r s re t urn including senior second-team OVC M edia As so ciation All-OVC cent er Chris Sullivan /62. 24 8). Other starters along the line returning include senior guard Mike Bobek (6- 1 22 2), sen ior guard David Burry (6- 1. 240) and junior tackle Joe Spadafino (6-1. 238) .

The biggest rebuilding job by the Eastern coaching staff must come on defense where nine starters were lost through graduation, includi ng All-OVC li nebacker A lex Dominguez and allconference tackle Randy Ta y lor.

Th e two returning starters include the third-leading tackler on the '82 t eam, j unior roverback Anthony Jones (5-11 , 189) who had 58 tackles , 30 assists and five intercep tions and sen io r noseguard Mike McShange (5- 10, 228) who had 11 tackles for losses.

Other players expected to see plenty of playing tim e thi s fall include senior li nebacker David Hill (5-10. 227), j uni or linebacker William May (5-10, 20 I ). juni or lin e backe r T e rry Simmons (511 , 202), senior cornerback Mike Mims (5-11 , 192) and sophomo r e defensive back Bobby Scannell (5-11, 180).

Red s hirt s on defense who will be in action in '8 3 includ e sophomo re e nd Joe Maunt e l, sop h omore tackle Rick Ca mpbell, freshman li nebacker Fred H arvey and freshman safet y Rob e rt Williams.

Th e kicking game for the Colonels re mains in good hand s with se ni o r Jami e Lov e tt (5 - 9, 164) and senior S t ev e Row e (6 - 5, 230) handling the p la cekicking and punting du t ies, respecti vely .

Experience, proven runningbacks and a solid defense are among the most pleasant reasons the ETSU Bucs will greet the dawning of the Sasser seasons on a note of cautious optimism.

Buddy Sasser, a highly successful coach at Wofford College, has taken over the helm of the Buccaneer program , buffeted by injuries, academic problems and a 2-9 campaign. A total of 53 lettermen return, most of whom saw a good deal of playing time.

Four quarterbacks return but only two saw any playing time. Robert Achoe and Walt Bowlin saw considerable action while Mark Tucker and Robbie White were on hand. The runningback situation is good with Jerry Butler, Todd Bloomer, Henry Latham an d Vince Redd returning.

"We hope some of our newcomers will be a ble to step in and help ," said Sasser. "Although for the most part the freshmen will fill in depth wise." Eastern leads the series, 18-9-2.

The Govs will be returning 15 starters from the 1982 club that went 3-7 and s topped the school mark of five successive seasons with a winning record or .500 mark.

Senior fullback John Brown and sophomore tailback Fred " Motor" Motes, the two leading rushers, will pace the ground attack, while versatile senior Z-back Tommy Michael, who was among the conference's top pass receivers, rounds out the returning offensive statistical starters.

Defensively, the Govs will return senior star Mike Newton at rover. Other seniors include noseman Chris Jenkins, linebacker Bill Ryznic, cornerback Willie Armstrong and free safety William McElroy.

Eastern leads the series, 21-3.

PROSPECTUS

Contrast may be the key word when thinking of prospects for Middle Tennessee's 1983 football team.

The Blue Raiders' offensive unit can field an array of veteran players who helped lead head coach Boots Donnelly's club to an 8-3 overall record last season. The offensive platoon returns nine of 11 starters.

The situation is just reversed with the defensive unit. Nine of 11 starters are gone from la s t year's aggregation that rated as one of the OVC's best in recent years.

The passing game is one of Donnelly's primary concerns. "We want to improve in every phase of our passing game," he said, "throwing, receiving and in being able to do something with the ball after it's caught."

The placekicking should again be ably handled by junior Kelly Potter who was a perfect 26-26 in PAT's in '82, while hitting on 13-27 field goal tries for 65 points.

Eastern leads the series, 17-13-0.

PROSPECTUS

Jimmy Feix , who begins his 16th season at the Western Kentucky helm this fall , had his team's deficiencies clearly in mind when spring drills began last March. Although there were improvements to be made and big shoes to fill , Western's veteran mentor appears to have come up with the answers.

The 'Toppers were 5-5-0 last year in the school's first campaign as an independent since 1947. Looking to fill the shoes of departed Ralph Antone at quarterback are talented sophomores Scott Travis and Justin Diel. Their main targets will be sophomore Alan Mullins, a re-positioned Pat Houser at flanker and tight end Mickey Lewis.

WK U's defense will be led by a talented trio of senior linebackers: first team All-America Paul Gray, Walter York and Robert Ray. Tony Eatherly , a senior, and Mike Hamilton , a junior, man the defensive ends and sophomore Tommy Pace figures to be the starter at nose tackle . Western leads the series, 32-23-2.

PROSPECTUS

It's a season of uncertainty for the Murray State Racers . Youth and inexperience at key positions has head coach Frank Beamer wondering just what kind of t eam he'll have in 1983.

"We have some really good players in our program, " said Beamer, entering his third season as MS U head coach . "But it's still very much up in the air a s far as determining how good we can be, because we're dealing with so many unknowns ."

Offensively, the Racers have an all-star candidate in wide receiver Stan Trice, who should s upply a large part of Murray State's offense in 1983. Trice was an AII-OVC pick last year (36 catches for 546 yards and three TD's).

The Racers' wide-tackle-six defense has several question marks on the line. Jeff Lancas ter, the school record-holder for career field goals with 22, is back to handle placements, but the punting job is up for grabs between Lee Alford and Albert Starnes .

Eastern leads the series, 21-16-4.

PROSPECTUS

Mark P owe r s, who threw for more th a n 1,000 ya rd s las t fall, will be o u t t o regain his starting j o b at quarterback but he' ll face an interest ing challenge by Tony C ostantine , who surrendered th e s tarting rol e with a broken leg in the third ga me of the year. Also back to call s ignals are Bre nt Fis her, the OVC R oo kie of the Wee k one tim e, a nd Greg Ma yso net.

Along with that ba ttl e in th e backfield will be another contest for s pots at runningback. Allen Lawren ce and Marv in McC le nn o n ( over 1, 300 ca ree r yards) head the lis t of r e turn ees but junior college transfers Sy lves ter Gregory a nd Rand y Pippe n could mak e a st rong bid .

On d e fe nse , part-time s tart ers John Edgington and C arey Heard at th e ends, M a rk Ral s ton at tackle and M a nny Miche l at no seg u a rd a re ba c k.

PROSPECTUS

Florida A & M lost 11 starters from last year's team, many of them at key positions and coming into the spring, questions about how good the Rattlers might be in 1983 abounded.

F AMU has some exciting news for its fans: That "Rattler Magic" Is Back!

Probably the most welcome news from the Rattlers' camp is that senior tailback Greg "Magic" Fashaw, a 5-11, 170-pound, slasher, sprinter-type, is back to spark the offense after missing a season due to academic problems.

The quarterback spot will rest in the hands of junior Michael Kelly . He played sparingly last season behind the departed Nate Koonce, but during the spring, he displayed a wide range of passing touches and an acquired flair for running the option and keeping the ball to himself.

Catching the passes for F AMU will be a horde of receivers led by All-American candidate Ray Alexander, a 6-5, 185-pound senior. First game of the series.

PROSPECTUS

The 1983 women's fie ld hockey team is eagerly anticipat in g its 1983 season. Altho u gh only six regular starters will be returning, last year's reser ves are highly improved and a strong recruiting effort has brough t a great deal of new talent into th e program. Competition for starting posit ions will be fierce this year and throughout the season every pla ye r will be continually challenged for their position .

"Plenty of hard work and concentrati on during the season will be needed to gel this you n g, talented team," said EK U coach Lynn e Harve l.

Mary Gavin with her cool head and sure stick will again be co unted on for leadershi p in the defense. Th e return of se nior K at h y Boughton, side li ned with an injury in 1982, will add stability to the defense, as will the return of junior An ne Daugherty's solid defensive play . Melissa Shore, who added de pth to the squad last year, will be vy in g fora regu la r starting berth in '83. A lthough the defense will be comprised of seasoned personnel who have not yet played t ogether, th ese pla yers' individual maturity will allow them to quickly learn to f u nc ti on as a un it.

Robin Forhecz, hig h scorer in 1982, will again lead the attack with the able assistance of Julie Theiler, a superb passer who acts as the quarterback and virtua ll y runs the attack With the much-improved play of Lynda Ransdell and Monica Storz, the attack will be except ionall y aggressive, fast and stro ng. Goal production is the u ltimate objective and this strong forward line s hould be able to produce.

Midfie ld will be dominated by Teresa Powell who will probably be moved to center link A t this position, Powell will be called upon to be a scor in g threat on the attack and to be the core of the defense. Junior college tran s fer P eggy P feiffer is expected to Oa nk Powell on the right, while left link is up for grabs by the you ng r ecruits

Goaltending honors will fa ll on t he young s houlders of Siobhan Devlin. I n her debut as a starter, Dev lin will see ple nt y of action in the goalcage . H aving had excellent off-season experience, she should be ready to m eet t he c ha llenge.

R eturnees Woodard , Thompson, Haml i n and Wilke wi ll eac h be competing for t heir f irst starting assignments. T h ese players cou ld provide EK U with some surprises when they ret urn to practice in the fall. Freshmen recruits are all expec ted to cha llenge for start in g positions "'These are exceptiona ll y talented young players who inten d to start a s freshmen," said Harvel. "The ir in tensity may be th e key to their success at earn i ng a starting slot."

"This year's team is a co mbination of experience and raw talent. T he team is capable but must work with inte nsit y if it is to get off to a good s t art. A s t hey gain experience individually and as a team, they will become a ba lanced, smoot h ly functioning team that can dominate play on the field. In o r der to win, they must be capa ble of disciplin ing the ir bo undl ess enthusiasm into dedication and earnes tnes s," Harv el added.
