East Carolina faces a difficult task in the fall if it is
to match the accomplishments of Southern Conference
Coach of the Year Sonny RandleTs Pirates of 1972. But
one thing is certain " ECU fans are in store for the same
exciting brand of football characterized by the Southern
Conference champions of a year ago because most of the
same cast of players return for 1973.
The Pirates return 42 of last seasonTs 50 lettermen
and will be blessed with battle-tested experience at nearly
every position. Included among the lettermen are 17
starters, 8 from the record-setting offensive unit of a year
ago and nine from the herald oWild Dogs? defensive unit.
But as has been the case for most ECU teams of the
past few seasons, a lack of overall qualified depth could
pose a problem in the event of injuries.
oWe have some quality football players, but the
number is limited,? says Randle, entering his third year at
the helm of the Pirate ship. oIf we are to have another
successful seasori we positively must remain healthy.? And
assuming that health doesnTt become a problem, the Pirates
certainly will have some quality football players.
Heading the list is Southern Conference Player and
Athlete of the Year Carlester Crumpler. The swift tailback
dazzled opponents and Virtually rewrote the ECU and SC
record books a year ago as he carried the ball an amazing
340. times for 1309 yards, 17 touchdowns and 102 points,
and rates as one of the top candidates in the nation for All-
America honors this fall. ~
Directing the:PiratesT highly explosive backfield will
be All-SC quarterback Carl Summerell. The Pirate Co-
Captain amassed 1700 yards total offense a year ago, 1275
passing and 425 rushing, and could be another Pirate All-
American candidate in the coming season.
Backing up Summerell at the quarterback spot will
be junior Tom Chipok and sophomore Bob Bailey, both of
whom proved their abilities during spring drills. Neither
has yet to be tested adequately on the firing line of game
situations however.
Randle appears to have found in Don Schink a quali-
fied replacement for NFL-bound fullback Les Strayhorn.
Schink saw considerable reserve action last season as a
sophomore and, like Strayhorn, is a strong runner and
excellent blocker.
Others who will see a lot of action in the Pirate back-
field are Ken Strayhorn (brother of Les), Jim Howe and
Al Boudreau.
PROSPECTUS
All-SC Stan Eure will be moved from tight end to
flanker and should provide a stable anchor for the receiving
corps. He will have some big shoes to fill, however, in
those of graduated Tim Dameron, another NFL-bound
Pirate.
Benny Gibson will move into the tight end spot while
Vic Wilfore, who returns to fill his position at split end,
could be an all-star candidate this fall.
Clark Davis, Mike Shea and Bob Voight should be
three of the top backup receivers.
Heading the offensive line will be All-SC guard Greg
Troupe. Other starters will probably be Fred Horeis at
guard, Dan Killebrew and Rick Leonard at the tackles, and
Greg Harbaugh at center.
Some depth will come from guards Larry Lundy and
Dave Dadisman, tackles Tom Frazier and Ned Cheely, and
center Dave Lowe.
ECUTs famed oWild Dogs? defensive unit returns
nearly intact, since linebacker Jim Post and defensive back
Terry Stoughton are the only starters lost from a year ago.
On the first-team line will be ends Robin Hogue and
Buddy Lowery and tackles Joe Tkach and Ken Moore.
Depth will come from the likes of ends Gary Godette and
Tim Hightower and tackles John Williams and Pete
Richardson.
All-SC Danny Kepley returns at linebacker and, along
with Crumpler and Summerell, should be a genuine All-
America candidate. Kepley was the key man for the oWild
Dogs? a year ago as he led the team in tackles, recovered
six fumbles and intercepted two passes. The other starting
linebackers will be Butch Strawderman, Bill Hibbs and
Wash Edwards.
The second-team linebackers will be Skip Russell,
Gary Niklason, Nelson Strother and Mike Crusie.
All-SC Rusty Markland and Pirate Co-Captain Mike
Myrick will get the starting defensive halfback assignments
while Winston Mayhew returns at the safety spot. De-
fensive backfield depth will come from George Wilkerson,
Mike Jones and Clay Burnett.
Sophomore Ricky McLester, who kicked nine field
goals a year ago as a freshman, will probably handle the
kicking and punting chores and should give ECU one of its
strongest kicking games in years. Mike Roper and Jim
Woody are also capable of getting the job done if the need
arises.
FICKLEN STADIUM
Ficklen Memorial Stadium has been the home of
some great Pirate teams since its opening ten years ago.
And, in a way, it seems to have been a charm for East
Carolina football.
In the 31 years before the gates of Ficklen Stadium
were opened to the public, East Carolina teams won a
combined total of only 98 games while losing 119.
But since itTs dedication on September 21, 1963,
when the men in purple and gold stunned Wake Forest,
20-10, the fortunes of Pirate football have changed
drastically, as evidenced by 61 victories and only 39
defeats.
The 20,000 seat structure was dedicated in the
name of the late James Skinner Ficklen, a native of
Greenville and prominent tobacco industrialist who served
and benefited the people of North Carolina in many ways.
The existing facilities of the concrete and steel
stadium represent the first steps of an expansion to
40,000 seats by 1980.
Ficklen Stadium will be the site of five exciting
games this fall, the first being September 29, when the
Pirates host Southern Conference rival Furman.
THE PRESS BOX
The members of the press who cover East Carolina
football are provided with the best in facilities and the
finest in good ol!T Down East hospitality when they cover
the PiratesT home games from the Ficklen Stadium Press
Box.
Up-to-date in all respects, the box provides com-
fortable desk space for 40 writers and also offers three
radio booths and a camera deck.
Adequate telephone and telegraph facilities are avail-
able in the rear of the working press section.
Player identification and other intormation are com-
municated to the press by a special Press Address System.
A highly competent staff of statisticians and secre-
taries furnish copies of comprehensive play-by-play accounts
and statistics at the end of each quarter.
Also on hand are a corps of beautiful press box
stewardesses who continuously dispense a buffet of fine
foods and beverages to the hard-working members of the
Pirate press.

AN
EVER-GROWING
TRADITION
In the forty-one years since the proud men in purple and gold hustled out onto the gridiron for
the first time, East Carolina teams have been blessed with an abundant share of success.
In the last decade alone, the Pirates have amassed 61 victories against only 39 losses and a tie.
In that first season of 1932, however, the men in purple and gold did not win a single game.
But they did accomplish a much more meaningful task. They sowed the fertile seeds of what would
develop into a proud and ever-growing Pirate football tradition.
They were East Carolina men.
They held their heads high in defeat, just as the future East Carolina men who were to follow
in their footsteps would extend the gracious hand of humility in victory.
From that modest birth of East Carolina football in the T30Ts, when victories were few, to the
Clarence Stasavich era of the °60Ts, when victories were many, that proud Pirate football tradition
would continue to grow.
And now, the third year of yet another successful era unfolds " one which brought the Southern
Conference championship to East Carolina in 1972 " the Sonny Randle era.
So this yearTs Pirates have a proud tradition to live up to. And just as the dedicated Pirates of
the past, they will rise to the occasion. Win, lose or draw, they will do themselve, their coach,
and their university proud.
They are East Carolina men.

1972 Southern Conference
Cok of fee Year
Sonny Randle, 1972Ts Southern Conference Coach of
the year, is the man at the helm of the Pirate ship.
The 37 year-old Randle, undoubtedly one of the most
dynamic coaches in America, has taken East Carolina to a
meteoric rise in football fortunes since taking over the
PiratesT reigns from Mike McGee in 1971.
In that first season, the youthful mentor got good
mileage out of the material he had on hand and guided the
Pirates to a 4-6 season. Then, in 1972, he veritably fulfilled
his promise to rejuvenate ECU football as he completely
befuddled the preseason forecasters by piloting a largely
inexperienced team to an astonishing 9-2 record.
The Pirates had been picked to finish as low as sixth
place in the Southern Conference last season, but Sonny
Randle obviously had other ideas - ideas which he appar-
ently communicated to his players rather effectively. For
the Pirates hijacked all six of their conference opponents
to bring the undisputed Southern Conference championship
to Greenville for the first time, in addition to bringing
home the loot in three of five non-league games.
Randle, the twelfth head coach in an East Carolina
football history which began in 1932, first came to Green-
ville in January, 1970, as an offensive assistant on the
McGee staff. From that time until he assumed the head
coaching duties a year later, he handled the offensive re-
ceivers and did extensive recruiting in Virginia, a state
which figures prominently in RandleTs past. It was his first
coaching job following a phenomenal eleven-year career as
a pass receiver in the National Football League.
Randle was born in Washington, D.C., but moved to
Fork Union, Va., at a very early age. He grew up there and
attended Fork Union Military Academy where he starred
in football, basketball and track.
_ His next stop was Charlottesville, where he attended
the University of Virginia and first thrust the name Sonny
Randle into national prominence. He starred as a split end
for the Cavaliers for three seasons " 1956, 57 and 58. His
senior year he led the nation in pass receiving and kickoff
returns and was selected to play in the annual post season
Blue-Gray All-Star Game. By the time he had capped off
his collegiate playing career he had won All-State, All-
Atlantic Coast Conference and Honorable Mention All-
America honors.
Randle began his professional career with the Chicago
Cardinals of the NFL in 1959. The Cards had drafted him
as a future choice while he was a junior. And he was even
~more successful as a pro than he was as a collegian.
In his second season " Randle led the NFL with 15
touchdown receptions in only 12 games, a Cardinal record.
He was named to the Sporting News Eastern Conference
All-Star Team and played in the Pro Bowl, the first of four
appearances he was to make in the NFL All-Star classic.
He caught 62 passes for 893 yards that season, but
two years later, in 1962, he outdid himself. He grabbed 63
passes for 1,158 yards, both of which are also St. Louis
single season records.
Randle played a total of eight seasons for the Cardi-
nals and will probably go down as one of the greatest
players in the teamTs history.
He spent his last three NFL seasons with San Fran-
cisco, Washington and Dallas.
When he hung up his cleats to go into coaching at the
end of the 1969 season, Randle had 385 career receptions
for over 6,000 yards and 67 touchdowns on his NFL record.
And as demonstrated by the 1972 season, Randle has
brought the success he enjoyed as a player with him into
the coaching ranks.
Yet when he came to Greenville as an assistant in
1970, who could have known that only three years hence
he would become the Southern Conference Coach of the
Year.
In 1973, RandleTs third season as a head coach, one
thing is absolutely certain. No one will be short-guessing
Sonny Randle or his Pirates.
Randle is married to the former Judith Bransford of
Cohasset, Va., and is the proud father of four children "
David 13, Sandra 12, Bethany 9, and Evan 8.
He spends what little free time he has playing golf,
hunting, fishing, and relaxing with his family.

RANDLETS ANALYSIS
OF THE PIRATES
OFFENSE
QUARTERBACKS
oThe finest quarterback in East Carolina history, Carl
Summerell, enters his senior season. He set a host of new
records in 1972, and will probably establish some more
records in the fall. Along with Crumpler at tailback, heTll
be a bonafide All-America prospect. Sophomore Tom
Chipok had an outstanding spring and currently is the
number two quarterback. Although junior Bob Bailey was
injured this spring and missed a lot of work, he should
provide some much needed depth at the quarterback
position.?
RUNNING BACKS
oAll-America candidate Carlester Crumpler heads a strong
group of running backs. As a junior, Crumpler rushed for
1309 yards in 340 carries for a great season. He is an ex-
cellent pro prospect and has his sights set on a big senior
year. Sophomore Kenny Strayhorn, the younger brother
of last yearTs outstanding back, Les, teamed with hard
running Don Schink in the number one backfield this
spring. Although an ankle injury slowed him down this
spring, junior Jimmy Howe should provide quite a few fire-
works in the fall. Al Boudreau, Richard Combs and Don
Hughes all had good springs and will see action.?
RECEIVERS
oVic Wilfore, Stan Eure and Mike Shea form an outstanding
group of outside receivers. Wilbur Williamson, Clark Davis,
Bob Voight and Mike Troth could push the top three. At
tight end, sophomore Benny Gibson started in the spring,
while Joe Reutter and Jim Wade battled for the number
two position. Last season, Eure was an all-conference
selection at tight end, but this spring we moved him back
outside where he did an outstanding job.?
LINE
oWith the exception of center Jimmy Creech, the offensive
line returns intact. Greg Harbaugh was moved from tackle
to center this spring and excelled in his new position. John
Grinnell and David Howe will back up Harbaugh. Tom
Frazier and Rick Leonard will battle for the tackle position
vacated by Harbaugh. Dan Killebrew will start at the other
tackle, while Fred Horeis and all-conference Greg Troupe
will be the first unit guards. Larry Bolger, Chip Leavitt,
Dave Dadisman, Ned Cheely and Mike Stanley will give us
good depth in the offensive line.?
KICKERS
oRicky McLester broke most of the existing school place-
kicking records during his freshman year. As a sophomore
he canTt do anything but get better. Sophomore Mike
Roper and junior Jim Woody have the potential to push
McLester for his job. Senior Clark Davis and McLester will
handle the punting chores, with Davis currently holding the
inside track for the number one job.?
37
DEFENSE
LINE
oThree of four starters return to the defensive line so I
expect us to be fairly solid in this area. Joe Tkach and
Kenny Moore will probably be the best pair of defensive
tackles in the league. At defensive end, senior Robin
Hogue, junior Buddy Lowery and sophomore Cary Godette
are battling for the starting assignments. These are also
as good as anyone in the Southern Conference. Tim
Hightower, John Williams, Bob Pond, Bob Neff, Pete
Richardson and Wayne McGregor provide the necessary
depth.?
LINEBACKERS
oAll-Southern Conference Danny Kepley and Butch
Strawderman head an exceptional group of linebackers.
Kepley made honorable mention All-America a year ago as
a sophomore and will be even better in his junior season.
Junior Billy Hibbs and senior Wash Edwards were the two
other starting linebackers during spring drills. This group is
solid and experienced and could be the teamTs strong suite.
Tim Russell, Nelson Strother, Gary Niklason and Mike
Crusie form an excellent group of second unit linebackers.
Any of these four could start for most teams.?
SECONDARY
oCo-captain Mike Myrick and speedsters Rusty Markland
and Winston Mayhew make up a very talented group of
defensive backs. Markland made AIll-SC a year ago and
Myrick was headed for a great season until he was injured.
Myrick is fully recuperated now so heTll be out to make up
for the time he lost last season. Sophomore Clay Burnett
could push any of the top three for their job. Others who
should see action this fall include Mike Jones, Glynn Loftin
and George Wilkerson.?

DR.LEO JENKINS
THE CHANCELLOR
When East Carolina defeated William and Mary, 21-15,
a year ago, to capture the Southern Conference football
championship, no one present was more proud of the
Pirates than Dr. Leo Jenkins, the dynamic East Carolina
University chancellor.
Jenkins has supported Pirate athletic endeavors with
the same progressive enthusiasm that has marked his leader-
ship of East Carolina into the realm of academic excellence.
And now, as East Carolina emerges as one of the SouthTs
leaders in higher education, Jenkins continues to strive for
the type of improvements and quality expansion that East
Carolina will need in its many and varied fields of academic
pursuit to meet the ever-growing needs of the region and
the state.
Born in Succasunna, N.J., in 1913, Dr. Jenkins holds
degrees from Rutgers, Columbia and New York University,
and has attended Duke and Harvard UniversityTs Institute
for College Presidents.
During World War II, Jenkins served as a Marine
Major in the Pacific and was awarded the Bronze Star and
two Presidential Unit citations.
Jenkins came to East Carolina as dean after serving
two years as assistant commissioner of higher education in
New Jersey. Prior to that he was a professor of political
science and history at Montclair Teachers College, Mont-
clair, N.J.
In 1960, Jenkins became president of the University.
Under his dynamic leadership East Carolina University has
grown from othat down east college? into a major university
serving the entire eastern seaboard. With the reorganization
of the stateTs university system in 1972, his title was
changed to chancellor.
The Chancellor of East Carolina University is first
and foremost an educator; but neither his talents nor the
expenditure of his energies are confined to this discipline.
An outstanding civic and religious leader, Dr. Jenkins holds
memberships on the Board of Directors of Carolina Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company and Wachovia Bank and
Trust Company. He is Chairman of the North Carolina
Council of Presidents of State Supported Universities and
a member of the North Carolina Atomic Energy Advisory
Commission.
His talents have often been solicited by numerous
regional, state and national governmental commissions and
advisory councils. A strong interest in intercollegiate
athletics is indicated by Dr. JenkinsT affiliation with numer-
ous athletic organizations, including the Triangle Chapter
of the National Football Hall of Fame of which he is
Director.
Married to the former Lillian Jacobson of Lavallette,
N.J., they have six children: James, Jeffery, Suzanne,
Patricia, Sallie and Jack.

CLARENCE STASAVICH
THE ATHLETIC DIRECTOR
The man who is largely responsible for the rise of the
East Carolina University athletic program to national calibre
is Clarence Stasavich, Director of Pirate Athletics.
One of the best known, most liked and most respected
men in the world of college athletics, Stasavich has been the
author of a long list of accomplishments " both as an
athletic director and a coach " that few men can match.
oStas?, as he is known to his acquaintances and to
thousands of sports fans, first came to Greenville as the
PiratesT head coach in 1962 after a fantastically successful
16-year tenure at Lenoir Rhyne. A year later he assumed
the dual role of athletic director and head football coach.
Since that time, he has overseen the development of a
modern all-purpose athletic complex which includes Ficklen
Stadium, Minges Coliseum, Scales Field House, Harrington
Field and the University Track. Also under his direction,
East Carolina became a member of the Southern Conference
in 1965, and in 1966 was classified in the major college
football ranks tor the first time.
StasavichTs achievements as a coach are just as im-
pressive. Three of his East Carolina teams in succession
(1963, 64, 65) posted 9-1 records and won bowl games.
In 1966, East CarolinaTs second year.in the Southern Con-
ference, his Pirates won a share of the conference title.
After eight years as head coach he had an overall record of
50-25-1, tying him with Jack Boone as the winningest coach
in Pirate football history.
In December, 1969, he relinquished his coaching
duties to devote full time to the job of directing East
CarolinaTs ever-expanding athletic program.
: A virtual sports legend in his own time in the western
part of the state, oStas? began his string of athletic successes
as a collegian at Lenoir Rhyne, where he played four years
of football, four years of basketball, two years of tennis and

one year of baseball. He won All-Conference honors three
years in both football and basketball, and in his junior and
senior years, 1934 and 1935, he was named to the Charlotte
ObserverTs Flaming Five, an annual recognition of the top
five athletes in North and South Carolina.
StasavichTs first venture into coaching came in 1935
at Campbell College where he was football line coach, head
basketball coach and assistant baseball coach. Three years
later, he returned to Lenoir Rhyne as football line coach,
assistant basketball coach and head tennis coach. His tennis
teams won two conference championships.
Stasavich entered the U.S. Navy in 1942, and served
with distinction in the European, Mediterranean and Pacific
theaters of World War II as an LST commander.
After discharge from the service in 1946, he earned
his masters degree at the University of North Carolina and
then returned to Lenoir Rhyne " this time as athletic di-
rector and head football coach. It didnTt take too long for
oStas? to reinstate his reputation as a winner. In the 16
years before he came to East Carolina, he compiled a
spectacular 120-37-7 record at the Hickory school. His
teams won nine Carolinas Conference championships "
seven of them in succession from 1955 to 1961 " and in
1960 won the National Association of Intercollegiate
Athletics national championship.
StasavichTs offense was the single wing, and in 1969,
he was the last remaining advocate of this exciting forma-
tion in the major college ranks. He has authored numerous
articles on football in general and the single wing in particu-
lar. And thereTs no question that his single wing philosophy
was one of the most successful philosophies in the nation.
When he retired from coaching, his remarkable lifetime
record of 170 wins, 64 losses and 8 ties ranked him behind
Bear Bryant of Alabama and Johnny Vaught of Mississippi
as the third winningest active coach in America.
A member of the Helms Hall of Fame and the North
Carolina Sports Hall of Fame, oStas?? was honored as
National Coach of the Year twice " 1959 and 1964 " and
District Coach of the Year five times.
Listed in WhoTs Who in the Southeast, Stasavich has
contributed much of his time to the North Carolina

THE UNIVERSITY...
During more than six decades of service, East Carolina
University has become the focal point of development in
eastern North Carolina. Since it was chartered by the North
Carolina General Assembly in 1907, East Carolina Uni-
versity has moved in a rapid and orderly transition from
normal school to multipurpose university. Graduate pro-
grams were authorized in 1929, and in 1933 the first Master
of Arts was conferred. Of even greater importance in the
development of the college was the grant to East Carolina
by the Assembly in May, 1941 of the authority to institute
a liberal arts program of equal standing with its teacher
education program. By the 1960Ts the college had become
the stateTs third largest institution of higher learning. The
General Assembly of North Carolina voted to elevate the
college to the status of East Carolina University as of
July 1, 1967. With this change in name went a mandate
from the Assembly to raise and expand its programs and
services to the university level in all areas. The University
presently consists of the College of Arts and Sciences with
nineteen departments, nine professional schools, the Gen-
eral College, the Graduate School, and the Division of
Continuing Education with its two off-campus centers, its
five technical institute programs, and the on-campus Uni-
versity College.
The campus, one of the most beautiful in the South,
encompasses approximately 600 acres adjacent to down-
town Greenville. Most of the classroom buildings, research
facilities and residence halls are less than ten years old.
Construction of buildings valued at several million dollars,
including a new multi-purpose student union, is currently
under way.
THE UNIVERSITY LIFE. . .
When the books are put aside for the night, the
situation may call for a period of pure relaxation, if you
prefer. . some good entertainment. Nighttime in Greenville
means entertainment galore for ECU students. Fraternity
parties, the campus entertainment series and the downtown
attractions provide a diverse bill of fare. Popular groups
which have visited Greenville recently include Chicago, The
Carpenters, Billy Preston, Steppenwolf, The Iron Butterfly,
Ray Charles, The Fifth Dimension, Al Hirt, The Nitty
Gritty Dirt Band and Buddy Rich and his orchestra.

PIRATE BASKETBALL PROSPECTUS
East Carolina basketball appears to be in store for a
rebuilding year in 1973-74, but Head Basketball Coach Tom
Quinn seems optimistic about the material he will have on
hand for the rebuilding job.
The Pirates, Southern Conference champions two
years ago, face a demanding schedule without six of the
top eight players from last yearTs third place team. Gone
are MVP Earl Quash, 6-10 pivotman Al Faber, Forward
Dave Franklin, and guards Jerome Owens, Ernie Pope and
Dave McNeill.
Under similar circumstances, many coaches might be
prompted to spend a lot of their time wearing a path on
the carpet in front of their desk, but not Tom Quinn.
Quinn spent his time on the recruiting circuit where he
landed what may be East CarolinaTs best crop of incoming
freshman and junior college transfers ever.
Junior college transfers Robert Geter, Bob Hurst,
Donnie Owens and Mitch Stoller should provide immediate
help for the Pirates. Geter and Hurst are forwards while
Owens and Stoller are guards.
Four freshman who are likely to see varsity action
are 6-9 Gerald Long, 6-8 Larry Hunt, 6-3 Buzzy Braman
and 6-3 Reggie Lee. All were of all-star calibre as high
school seniors and, says Quinn, ~o~WeTre thinking that one or
two of them might be able to help us out right away.?
The lone returning starter: is 6-8 senior forward
Nicky White, a strong rebounder and double-figure scorer
who will be moved back to his natural position at the pivot
to fill the void left by the graduation of Faber.
Other experienced help will come from senior for-
ward Roger Atkinson and sophomore guard Ken Edmonds.
Atkinson averaged 6.9 points and 4.9 rebounds per game
last season as the teamTs sixth man while Edmonds, a slick
ballhandling point man, saw considerable action with both
the varsity and junior varsity during his freshman year.
The services of 6-6 junior forward Tom Marsh will
also be available to the Pirates again next year. Marsh
scored 15 points in his varsity debut a year ago before re-
ceiving a knee injury. After that he was able to make only
one spot appearance during the rest of the season.
Up from the jayvees will be jumping-jack forwards
Al Edwards and William Hill, smooth-shooting guards
Randy McCullen and Fred Stone and muscular frontcourt
man Chuck Mohn.
