HEAD FOOTBALL COACH

ROY KIDD

Roy Kidd likes to win, he has a pa st tradition of winning, and he 's trying to build a winner at Eastern .

Beginning his third year at the Mar oon helm, he is a former Ea s tern Little All - American with a brilliant record both as a player and coach. Backfield coach here in 1963, he became chief mentor when his one-time coach and boss , Glenn Presnell , resigned to become athletic director.

A native of Corbin , where he was an all - around athlete , earning All-State honor s in football and basketball , Kidd established a dozen records as quarterback of the Maroons. Two of his marks -most touchdown passe s in a s eason, and in a single game-still s tand.

Following hi s college playing career , Kidd remained on the Richmond campus as graduate assistant coach to Presnell in 1954. The Maroon s played in the Tangerine Bowl following an undefeated , OVC championship seas on , losing to Omaha University 7-6.

Roy earned four varsity letters in both football and baseball at Eastern. He was a star centerfielder on the Maroon nine, and bettered the .300 mark batting four consecutive years. He was president of the Var s ity " E " Club , hi s s enior year.

Almo st overshadowing hi s impressive playing record with the Maroons i s hi s se rie s of accomplishments in the Kentucky high sc hool coaching ranks. After a year at Madison Central High School as assistant basketball and head ba s ketball coach , Kidd went across town to Richmond Madison to build one of the powers of Kentucky prep football.

In six seas ons, 1956-61, Kidd' s Madi so n team s compiled a 54-10-1 record, including a 27-game winning streak, and a string of 14 un score d-upon-game s. The Royal Purples won the Central Kentucky Conference title three times, won the CKC division playoffs twice won two of three appearances in the Re cr eation Bowl, won the Scholarship Bowl, and played in the Big Sandy Bowl. In his last season, Madi son was ranked No. 1 in the state in all polls for most of the seas on, before losing to Ft. T homas Highlands , 12-0 , in the Kentucky Class AA championship game.

Kidd 's Madison teams were characterized by a wide-open, high scoring offense, and a s tingy defense-the same attributes he's trying to build into Eastern football. Opposing teams often finished with minus offen sive yardage .

Playing a Class AA class sc hedule with a Class A enrollment Kidd seldom fielded a team with over 30 players. Yet , he groomed players at Madi s on for Air Force , Army , Navy, Eastern, Kentucky , and numerou s s mall colleges. He was the Kentucky High School Athletic A ssocia tion 's " Coach-of-the-Year " in 1961.

Before returning to Ea ste rn , Ro y s pent the 1962 seaso n at Morehead , helping guide the Eagles to a four -w ay tie for the OVC crown that year with Eastern, Middle Tenne ssee, a nd E ast Tennessee.

He accepted the E astern post as fulfillment of his "g reatest am bition," and pledged a 100 per cent effort from everyonehimself, coache s, and player s-c onnected with the Ea ste rn football program .

Roy i s married to the former Su s an Purcell ,of Richmond. Th ey have three children , Marc, eight, Kath y, five, and Keith , three.

Pfaadt , a native of Loui sv ille , holds the Eastern season pass interception record with seven. Smith is from Glasgow.

'WE SHOULD BE READY' - KIDD

A year ago Roy Kidd was ca utiou s ly optimistic about his team's Ohio Valley Conference hopes. H e thought the M a roon s' big seaso n might have come a year earlier than he had hoped.

All that kept him from being right was a forfeit of a 35-30 win over Au s tin Peay and a slim, four -p oint, 14-10 loss to Middle Tenn esse e. Those two games spelled the difference between the conference championship and third place where Ea ste rn fini s hed , 4-2-1.

Thi s year Kidd is optimistic, and he 's not s hy about it . H e says the Maroons are ready.

Depth, a sore spot in Kidd 's first two seaso n s, s houldn ' t be a serious problem with 25 of 36 lettermen back ( 16 of them sop homores). For the first time since h e to1ok over the rein s in '64, Kidd thinks the Maro o n s should be able to get through the seaso n without starting new fre s hmen at any position.

Kidd points with ju s tifiable satisfaction to a balanced offense and a defen se so und from end to end, and in the seco nda ry.

But , even with all the se thing s going for him , Kidd l oo k s to one player as the key to the Maroon season. His nam e is Herman Carter and he runs the 100-yard dash in nine and four-tenths seconds. He may be the fastest back in c.o lle ge football.

Kidd is qui c k to make the point that with Carte r the M arcons are not a one-man team. "We've got a lot of good players on this team," Kidd says, "and all of them valuable . It' s just that Herman 's tremendous speed make s everyone else .o n offe n se a nd o ur passing game more effective. And , with our offen se in control of the ball more, the defense doe sn' t get worn down. "

An o ther talented so phomore in the backfield holds another part of the jig saw pu zz le that when pie ce d together could spe ll a championship for Eastern. Quarterback Jim Guice hit on 49 of 91, pa ss attempts and threw for six touchdowns last year in reserve role s and is going to be "easily Ea s tern's greatest pa sser," according to Kidd.

Ted Holcomb, a sophomore wingback an d John Tazel , freshman wingback, are both excellent receivers at war for a starting nod. Bob Beck , an outstanding bl oc ker , appears to have the be st chance at fullback , but Foster Harri s , who ca me out on hi s own this s p r ing could give him a run for his money.

The offensive line will have some new, but experienced faces . Aaron Marsh, a tailback for two seasons , will be running in the s plit end position. His speed, broken field running ability and good hands give him all the as s ets . Roger Prall, a defen s ive end for two seasons, made the shift to offensive tight end with no major difficulty this spring.

The tackles will be a pair of sophomores-Bob Tarvin and Bill Brewer-who did outstanding jobs as freshmen la s t year. Both are str.ong and quick, and give the Maroons a top flight pair of tackles.

The guard situation is perhaps the most ticklish in the offens ive line. None of the candidates have any experience at offensive guard, the only lettermen are Lowell Flanary, who has seen his pa s t action as a linebacker, and placement kicker Walt Murphy . Don Wigginton , a freshman , and Fred Troike, a tran s fer fr.om Alabama , both have tremendous potential , but are untried.

Dick Dunkle , who held down the center position as a freshman last year , is back and s hould be improved, but doesn ' t have anyone behind him on the depth chart with any varsity experience

The defen s ive unit is deeper than the .offense, and Kidd think s the "Headhunters" will do a good job of getting the ball into the hand s of what should be an explosive offense.

Leadership abounds on the defensive unit, evidenced by the fact that both Maroon co-captains are defensive backs-safety Buddy Pfaadt and cornerback Mike Smith . Cornerback Lynn Raay and safety Harry Lenz complete a solid , fast defensive secondary that s hould capture more than the record 18 pass interceptions they grabbed last year. Soph Don Moore is capable of moving into the starting lineup at cornerback.

Linebackers Jimmy Moberly , at 180 one of the hardest hitter s in the league , and Rich Sivulich should be among the league ' s be s t. Rick Dryden and Ron Reed give the defensive squad four capable , hard-hitting linebackers .

Ron "Chief" DeVingo, who bench presses 420 points, and junior college transfer Mike Lawson have the middle guard s ituation well - under control. Defensive tackle is also in good shape with last year's standouts Jim Demler and Miller Arritt backed up by Philip Knauer.

Defen s ive end should again be one of the Mar-oons ' stronge s t po s ition s. Chuck Sieman , All-OVC fir s t team a year ago , i s one of the mo s t outstanding football player s in the south , and a go o d bet for All-America honors s ays Kidd . Tom Shetler or Charle s Metzger, both of whom saw lots of action last year, will fill the s pace left by Prall ' s moving to the offensive unit.

Roy Kidd hopes that he has the right combination of element s to make hi s third season at the Maroon helm a whopping s ucce s s. It s hould be exciting to watch .

1966 OUTLOOK: Marshall will depend upon a pair of returnees and a junior college transfer to spark their offensive backfield as they try to recover from la st season's seve nth place MAC finish .

Defensively, the Herd will be searching for someone to take up the slack left by the graduation of All-America linebacker Tom Good . Sparking the Big Green running game will be tailback Mickey Jack son, the nation's sixth scorer last year with 16, touchdowns (four against Eastern) for 96 points. Hard-running fullback Andy Socha is also back. Jim Torrence , a transfer from Ferrum (Va.)

Two Murray losses were first team All-OVC, end John Wat son and tackle Charli e Mitchell. From the outside looking in the picture doesn't seem so glum.

1966 OUTLOOK: Middle Tennes see has won the OVC champions hip for the past two seaso n s and hasn't finished below second in 11 years. All the Raiders have to do to help insure a continuance of this record is to find a replacement for graduated qua rterback Teddy Morris who left with an arm load of schoo l and OVC passing and total offense records Fullba ck Larr y Mathew s is a cru s hing runner and end Herb Owenby is typical of Middle's traditional strong, pass-grabbing ends. Bruising tackles Frank Vic tory and Bobby Lan gfor d, end George Claxton and linebacker Larry Dotson anchor what should be another stout defense for the Blue Raiders. If Middle can find the leadership it needs from a s ign al caller, "Bubber" Murphy s hould have no trouble in improving his 141-47-8 record.

1966 OUTLOOK: New head coach John R. Bell will present a strong running game and stout defense as he tries to improve upon the 2 - 6-1 record set by the injury plagued Bucs a year ago. He has 28 lettermen back, of 41 who received monograms in '65, but gone are two veteran quarterbacks, Walter Wolfe and Larry Watson, and East Tennessee's all-time receiver Wayne Waff. Filling the quarterback gap will be soph Bobby Meade or junior Fred Walton. The Bucs are counting on their ground game over passing for offensive might and they have whole flocks of capable runners .

Slotback Johnny Russaw, a 1981-pound junior speedster, is a fine receiver and makes East dangerous as a passing team also. Gary Phillips, second team All - OVC at center last year, will anchor the offensive line.

They finished as the nation's third best rushing team, and halfback Allen Smith, gone from the Findlay scene this year, won both the national individual scoring and rush i ng titles Fullback Bob Culver will return spark to the Oiler offense, along with quarterback Jim Culler, who also doubles as a defensive halfback. Halfback Galloway Morgan will also add spark to the Oiler backf i eld. Linebacker Harley Moore and safety By Morgan, Jr., lead the Oiler defense.

1966 OUTLOOK: The fact that Western has 27 of 36 lettermen back from its 1965 squad should label the Hilltoppers as a veteran team. But, 'Topper spokesmen are quick to point out that Western was a freshman dominated team last year and figures to be a young squad again in '66. Fullback Dickie Moore , who led the league with 1,055 yards rushing last year will be a sophomore, as will quarterback Mike Egan. A lot of monograms are in the line, but only two of their bearers are seniors. Half a dozen transfers , in both the backfield and line, figure to boost Hilltopper depth, but do not add appreciably to depth. Coach Nick Denes says he feels his team is a year away from serious contention, but says if his charges stay healthy and survive the first half of the campaign, they will be reckoned with this year.

Coach Wilburn Tuck er's squad had a fla s h of brilliance winning three in a row at mid-sea s on last year , before faltering in the s tretch Youth in the backfield with junior quarterback Tommy Van Tone , an option play master, and hard-running sophomores Joe Ralei gh and Terry Parks make t he Golden Eagles serious groun d threats.
