PREVIEW - 1966
The fifth East Carolina team fielded by Coach Clarence Stasavich will be
the first eligible to win the Southern Conference title. Last year, the games played
by the Pirates counted, but the team did not play enough to qualify for the title.
There will be some new faces in the Buc lineup this fall, especially in the
offensive backfield, where three of the four starters will not return. Only Tom
Grant, the wingback, is returning. Defensively, however, the Bucs had slim losses,
and the backfield here is back again.
Finding replacements for All-American Dave Alexander, fullback; along
with tailback George Richardson, and blocking back Norm Swindell will be among
the primary tasks for the Buc coaches. Three men return with experience in the
backfield at these spots, Neal Hughes at tailback, Bill Bailey at fullback and
tailback, and Nelson Gravatt at blocking back. But Stas admits that the positions
are up for grabs.
SCHEDULE-For he first time since the Stasavich era began, the Bucs have
a 10-game schedule, including five home games, and six conference contests.
Four new opponents join the list, including William & Mary, Davidson, Southern
llinois and Southern Mississippi. Returning this season are Northeast Louis-
iana, Furman, George Washington, The Citadel, Richmond and Louisville.
LOSSES-Eleven lettermen were lost, including Alexander, Richardson, Swin-
dell, monster back Ikey Bullard, guards Mitchell Cannon and Jay Andrews, tackle
Corie McRae and ends John McPhaul and Jim Abernethy, specialist Peter Kriz.
RETURNING LETTERMEN-Seventeen lettermen are back, with the strength
in the two lines and the defensive backfield. Regular returning are guard Walter
Bostic, tackles Leroy Cobb, Pete Crane, John Schwarz and Kevin Moran; center
Johnny Crew; wingback Tom Grant; defensive backs Todd Hicks, Neal Hughes
and Robert Ellis; ends Ruffin Odom, Paul Schnurr and Churchill Grimes. Punter
Mike Herring is back and will see action in the line as a guard. Others returning
who saw a lot of action include fullback-tailback Bill Bailey. blocking back Nelson
Gravatt and Joe Testo.
POSITION BY POSITION
Wingback-Tom Grant is back as a starter, backed up by Robert Ellis.
Tailback-Heavy losses here, with Neal Hughes, Bill Bailey and several
sophomores as the top candidates.
Fullback-Bailey and sophomore George Gay will probably be the top choices
here.
Blocking Back-Two juniors, Nelson Gravatt and Joe Testo, who saw duty
from time to time last year, are the top candidates.
The Line-Tackles Pete Crane, John Schwarz, and Kevin Moran; guards
Walter Bostic, Leroy Cobb; center Johnny Crew: ends Ruffin Odom, Paul Schnurr
and Churchill Grimes; give the Bucs a solid nucleus to center their attach.
Offensive-Stasavich Single Wing with variations and a few new twists to
keep the opponents on their toes.

CHURCHILL GRIMES RUFFIN ODOM PAUL SCHNURR
ENDS
CHURCHILL GRIMES: Senior, 21, 192, 6-1, Washington, N. C.
Starting on the second unit, Grimes became the offensive starter early in
the season . . . an excellent receiver, and potentially all-conference, he may
see more duty on defense this year. . .
RUFFIN ODOM: Senior, 22, 6-1, 203, Ahoskie, N. C.
Another, who broke into the starting lineup Ruffin turned out to be the
leading receiver last year . . . he is expected to be back there this year... .
an all-conference possibility .. .
PAUL SCHNURR: Junior, 19, 204, 6-0, Fayetteville, N. C.
One of the top defensive men on last year's team, he put a big rush on
passers, living in opponent's backfields . . . good chance of all-state and all-
conference honors as defensive standout . . .
JIMMY ADKINS: Sophomore, 19, 190, 6-1, Kinston, N. C.
A good receiver . . . saw a lot of action as a freshman, should be in line
for a first team assignment, with lot of reserve action this year.
MYLES HUNNICUTT: Sophomore, 19, 195, 5-11, Vienna, Va.
An all around good rating is given Myles by his coaches, who feel he'll get in
the game a lot this fall, and could work his way into first team position . . .
JOHNNY JOHNSON: Sophomore, 19, 215, 6-2, Winston-Salem, N. C.
An excellent spirit, coupled with ability gives Johnson a bright future with
the Bucs, and possibility of a starting position.
BOB WITHROW: Sophomore, 19, 176, 6-1, Dayton, Ohio.
Bob could end up with one of the starting positions this fall after switching
-from wingback. He gets an excellent jump off the line, but still has to show
his stuff under varsity fire.
BOB REYNOLDS: Sophomore, 19, 191, 6-0, Ayden, N. C.
An average receiver, Bob rates as a good tackler arid'may end up seeing
some action this all.

TACKLES
LEROY COBB: Senior, 20, 198, 5-10, Greensboro, N. C. (Alternate -Captain)
The alternate captain for the Bucs this fall, Cobb was a starter last year
and will be back this year on defense. A tough competitor.
PETE CRANE: Senior, 21, 195, 6-1, Fayetteville, N. C.
After an injury that left Pete hobbled, he switched from end to tackle and
came on strong last year, earning himself a starting position. He is expected to
nail down his position again this fall.
KEVIN MORAN: Junior, 19, 230, 6-1, Manchester, N. H.
An All-American candidate, Kevin had the scouts drooling during the
spring game this year. A starter last fall, he will be back on the defensive unit
again this season.
JOHN SCHWARZ: Junior, 19, 200, 6-0, Asheboro, N. C.
Moved from offense to defense early last season, Schwarz performed ex-
cellently, starting every game. He'll be back at his post this season.
HAM HAMILTON: Sophomore, 19, 206, 5-10, Orlando, Fla.
An improving player, Hamilton will probably see limited action this fall. .
BILL LIVERMORE, Sophomore, 19, 202, 5-10, Raleigh, N. C.
Livermore, a big, strong player, will probably draw the starting assignment
at one of the defensive tackle positions.
WORTH SPRINGS: Sophomore, 19, 197, 5-10, Charlotte, N. C.
An outstanding player as a freshman, Worth could work his way into a
starting position his fall.

Alternate captain of his freshman team, he was switched from a back to
the line as a sophomore and got some experience last year.

An outstanding high school player, he has seen a lot of action, and will
probably see more this fall.

JOHNNY SCHWARZ WALTER BOSTIC MIKE HERRING
GUARDS
WALTER BOSTIC: Senior, 21, 197, 6-0, Warsaw, N. C.
A third year starter, Bostic is a real team spirit man, playing part of last
season with a broken thumb . . . Excellent blocker, he has fine speed and agility.
MIKE HERRING: Junior, 20, 223, 6-2, Whiteville, N. C.
Mike missed most of the action last year with an injury, but did a fine job
of punting during the latter part of the season. His injury seems healed now
and he'll probably be a starter.
BEN GRIEB: Sophomore, 19, 201, 6-0, Alexandria, Va.
A real hustler, Ben still needs to do some work, but he could see plenty of
action this fall.
PAUL HUTCHINS: Junior, 20, 215, 5-10, Gibsonia, Pa.
With a fine spring practice session, Paul worked his way into a tentative
starting position for the fall.
ELLIS NOTTINGHAM: Junior, 21, 214, 6-4, Washington, D. C.
After transferring here as an end, Nottingham was moved into the interior
line, and may draw a starting position this fall.
TOM WARMAN: Junior, 22, 220, 6-1, Levittown, Pa.
A question mark . . . Warman missed most of the spring drills because of
an injury and still needs to show what he can do.
CENTERS
JOHNNY CREW: Senior, 20, 187, 6-1, Morganton, N. C. - Captain
A starter the past two years, Crew is an excellent snapper. He was chosen to
the All-State team last season, and is a potential All-Conference player.
AL GLASS: Junior, 20, 185, 6-1, Hopewell, Va.
While not seeing much action last season, Glass is the number two man
behind Crew as the snapper.
12
JOHNNY CREW BILL BAILEY NEAL HUGHES
WAYNE LINEBERRY: Sophomore, 19, 220, 6-3, Wadesboro, N. C.
A tough competitor, Lineberry will be holding the linebacker position, and
could be a future All-American.

BILL BAILEY: Senior, 23, 195, 6-1, Tarboro, N. C.
A part-time starter, Bill was injured and missed part of the last season. He
is the top candidate for the starting position.
NEAL HUGHES: Junior, 20, 169, 5-10, Asheboro, N. C.
Neal could take over the tailback spot if Bailey's injuries hold him back,
but he is counted on as a defensive halfback, where he played last year.
MICHAEL BRIDGES: Sophomore, 19, 175, 5-11, Hickory, N. C.
One of the fastest backs, needs to improve passing, could work his way into
a job.
DENNIS YOUNG: Sophomore, 19, 184, 5-11, Winston-Salem, N. C.
An All-Stater as a freshman, Dennis could get into the game a lot, but
needs to improve his passing . . . a good runner.
CHARLES FORBES: Junio:, 21, 166, 5-7, Robersonville, N. C.
Chiefly a utility man... has proven to be quite able a hustler when
called upon as a substitute in the backfield.
FULLBACKS
STEVE BUCHHOLZ: Sophomore, 19, 181, 5-10, Dayton, Ohio.
Moved to offensive fullback in the spring, he is a strong competitor ...a
good runner, he needs to improve passing and blocking.
13
NELSON GRAVATT JOE TESTO ROBERT ELLIS
JIM FLOWE: Sophomore, 19, 212, 6-0, Charlotte, N. C.
Largest back on team, but good speed. Worked both on offensive and at
defensive rover.
ALAN HALL: Sophomore, 6-1, 210, 19, Chesapeake, Va.
Has the potential to be the starting fullback .. . Very fast for a big boy
. . Big and Strong . . . Time will tell as the season progresses.
GEORGE GAY, Sophomore, 19, 182, 5-10, Charlattesville, Va.
Starting fullback in spring game, George was shifted to that position from
tailback because of speed for his size. Needs to improve passing, but may be
starter.
BLOCKING BACKS
NELSON GRAVATT: Junior, 19, 191, 6-1, Burkesville, Va.
Will probably get the nod this fall to start, he has most experience among
blocking backs . . . a real hustler.
JOE TESTO: Junior, 20, 185, 5-9, Winston-Salem, N. C.
A tough competitor, Joe could see a lot of action this fall in relief.
BILL COTHREN: Sophomore, 19, 191, 5-11, Statesville, N. C.
A fullback as a freshman, he was moved to rover back in the spring game
and started there . . . has a lot of desire and is a probable starter.
CHARLES OVERTON: Sophomore, 19, 183, 5-11, Edenton, N. C.
A hard working during practice sessions and played quite a bit of freshman
football . . . has talent to become a good reserve signal caller this fall as
experience develops.
14
TOM GRANT TODD HICKS
WINGBACKS
ROBERT ELLIS: Senior, 21, 182, 6-0, Burlington, N. C.
A defensive halfback as a sophomore, Robert moved to safety last year,
doing an excellent job . . . also one of best punt and kickoff return men.
TOM GRANT: Junior, 19, 181, 5-11, St. Augustine, Fla.
Took over the starting wingback position last season after Furman game,
and held it after that, although he missed a couple of games with injuries. . .
fine pass receiver and runner.
TODD HICKS: Junior, 20, 183, 5-10, Gastonia, N. C.
Starting defensive halfback last year, Todd also joined Ellis at times for
runbacks . . . th pair also shared inteception leadership.
DAVE MEADOWS: Sophomore, 19, 172, 5-10, Remington, Va.
Worked both as offensive wingback and defensive halfback, and probably
will be a relief man at either slot.
. DEFENSIVE BACKS
MITCHELL McINTOSH: Sophomore, 19, 169, 5-10, Rockingham, N. C.
Looked good during winter drills and has the potential to be a defensive
starter if he continues to develop.
SKIPPER OLIVER: Sophomore, 19, 6-1, Fayetteville, N. C.
Possesses the talent to be a first string defensive back but presently has
not come through.
FELLA RHODES: Sophomore, 19, 165, 5-10, Chesapeake, Va.
Missed the freshman season due to injuries but worked hard during last
season's winter drills . . . has potential to be a starting halfback.

System-''I'' with split end and flanker. Captain-Not given.
1966 Outlook-Larger in number, but shorter in experience, the Indians will
be improved in 1966 under Southern Conference Coach of the Year, Marv Levy.
The Indians finished second in conference last year, and had their first winning
season in 13 years.
Only 10 seniors are on the team, along with 30 sophomores and 20 juniors.
Levy and his staff spent much of the spring drills; and are expected to use most
of the pre-season drills looking for two, big, strong running backs. Levy looks for
a strong running game to go with the already strorig passing attack.
At quarterback, the Tribe has Dan Darragh and Mike Madden returning.
Darragh amassed 896 yards, while Madden ran for 398 to give the Indians a
double punch.
Lost, however, is All-Conference and Player of the Year George Pearce,
who set conference and school records for his receptions.
Back defensively, however, are Adin Brown, Terry O'Toole and Bob Gad-
kowski, are expected to make it tough for the opposition to gain ground.
Levy doesn't expect to platoon, having scrapped this idea midway through
the season last year, since turning victories in five of the last six games.

1966 Outlook-A fine crop of 26 lettermen return to give the Indians a
hope of a stronger team this fall, but a tougher schedule may prevent an im-
provement in the won-lost record. While there is more experience than a year
ago, the team is still expected to be smaller in size than most of its opponents.
A good offensive game should be centered around quarterback Steve Mansur,
who as a freshman last season, had 627 yards in total offense. He is the best
passer and runner on the team. There are also four fullbacks to choose from,
Bobby Scafidel, Mike Shepherd, Jim Booth and Ron Gaetano. Despite the im-
provement in the backfield, however, the smallness of the line could hurt, and
defense is expected to be the strong point of the team.

1966 Outlook-''Football-for-Fun Bunch" is the nicknamed given to this
edition of the Paladins when it was learned that only one player, Jimmy Kerr,
has the equivelant of a full scholarship. But Coach Bob King, in his ninth year
as head coach of the Paladins feels that desire is the key to football victories as
East Carolina will testify last year. He admits that it will be a great challenge,
but feels here are some fine players on the team with good potential. The club
will be very young with half the roster composed of sophomores. During the
spring game, eight held down starting assignments on the two starting units.
Lack of experienced depth will be a problem, especially in the line. The backfield
seems to have plenty of depth, although still not real well off in experience. The
Paladins will also have to depend on speed and surprise, since most of their
opponents will be much larger. This is expected to hold true on both offense and
defense.

1966 Outlook-As coach Homer Smith enters his second season, the Wild-
cats will be looking for their second straight winning season, but depth continues
to be the big problem. With less than 35 men on the team, the ccaches will
have trouble practicing and playing two-platoon football, although the platoon
system will be used. There is no big difference in speed, size or skills this year.
The big boost will come with experience on the part of both players and coaches.
Smith feels he knows his players better this season and can put their talents
to fuller use. Some changes are expected in the offensive system, but the un-
conventional "'Wildcat'' defense will remain. A total of 18 lettermen are back,
including two experienced quarterbacks in Jake Jacobson and Jimmy Poole. Tom
Cardwell, the punter and defensive halfback, is another welcome returnee.

1966 Outlook-The loss of All-American candidate Gary Lyle will be a big
blow to the Colonials, but one which Coach Camp hopes to overcome. With Lyle,
a total of 17 lettermen are gone, with none returning at quarterback, tailback
or tackle. An expected 13 non-lettermen will probaly draw starting assign-
ments, seven on offense and six on defense. Six of these will be sophomores. The
big bright spot is the return of All-Conference Tom Metz, rated by Camp as the
most complete player on the team. Tops in defense, he is also an excellent pass
receiver, leading the team last season. This year, he may be pressed into more
use on offense, but he'Il remain primarily a defensive weapon. The backfield will
be where the real work must be done, with four non-lettermen working there,
including three sophomores. Glenn Davis will probably handle the quarterbacking
with sophs Bob Lavinia, Steve McLnar, end Jimmy Barton at tailback, fullback
and wingback respectively. Some of the tackle problem will probably be solved
by moving Tom Reilly from guard.

1966 Outlook-The Citadel this season will have a new coach in Red Parker,
and a lot of inexperience on the ball club. Parker feels that his team will be
too small and too inexperienced o be a serious contender for the Southern Con-
ference crown. Although 18 lettermen will be returning this fall, the losses were
to key men. They include All-Conference defensive halfback Frances Grant and
second team All-Conference men Pat Green, an offensive center, John Reeves,
offensive tackle, and Mike Caldwell, defensive end. The Bulldogs also lost their
kicking specialists, Pat Green, who did the placements, and punter Kroghie
Andresen. While those lettermen who are returning are expected to do much
of the work, a number of sophomores will probaly see a great deal of action.

his first teams for the school. He will meet a large number of returning lettermen,
a total of 23, eight backs and 15 linemen. Together they hope to improve on
last year's 2-8 record. However, the offense is uncertain as of yet. Should the hold-
overs not be able to handle the positions, sophomores will probably have to be
moved in, and could occupy important positions. Quarterback will be a real
problem for the Salukis, but fullback seem okey with veteran Hill Williams there
and a rising sophomore Roger Kuba is looking good at halfback.

1966 Outlook-Things could only look up after last year's O-10 record for
the Spiders. Frank Jones, an ex Mississippi State aide, is now the head coach, as
Eddie Merrick moved up to assistant athletic director. And Jones faces the job
of gathering together the threads and starting to rebuild a winning team. Be-
cause of a lack of depth, a number of players will see action both ways. Senior
Guard Larry Pew promises to be one of the Southern Conference's top linemen.
Halfbacks Larry Zunich and Jim McKenna are solid performers. Buster O'Brien,
a transfer from Notre Dame, may help solve the quarterback problem. Kicker
Mike Bragg is one of the nation's best, averaging 41.1 yards as a sophomore
last year.

1966 Outlook-Southern Mississippi's defense, ranked number one among
major colleges last season, just might be as strong again despite the loss of
four starters. The leaders of the ''Vandals'' will be Ken Avery, linebacker:
safety Billy Devrow, tackle Art Gill, end Troy Craft, middle guard Poochie
Stringfellow, and end Tommy Roussel. Depth will be a problem on defense. Offen-
sively, there will be some rebuilding to do. The entire starting backfield, one end,
both tackles, one guard were lost. Rushing this spring left a lot to be desired,
although the team may have better speed. Size is down however. The chief
threats are QB Glen Bynum, halfbacks Earl King and Mike McAdams and full-
back Milo McCarthy. Over 60 passes were thrown in the spring game, and if
that is an indication, the air route will be used a fot this fall, more so than in a
decade. There were a total of five quarterbacks who can throw well, along with
a number of fine receivers. The kicking game could be stronger this year, pro-
viding the protection is available.

BABY BUC BRIEFS
Coach Henry Vansant's Baby Bucs posted their second straight 3-2 season
last year. After losing their first two, they snapped back and rolled to three big
wins to finish the year. As usual, a number of fine sophomores will be expected
to fill key positions on the Varsity, with fullback being an almost certain sophomore
unless an upper classman is switched. Top candidates for positions are three
All-State choices last year, linebacker Wayne Lineberry, TB Dennis Young and
End Jimmy Adkins. Others likely to see a lot of action are Ends Miles Hunnicutt,
Johnny Johnson and Bob Withrow, tackles Bill Livermore and Worth Springs,
guards Ben Grieb and Randy Ross, center Van Hester, Tailback Mike Bridges
arid Mitchell McIntosh, fullback George Gay and Steve Buchholz, fullback
Bill Cothran, and wingback Dave Meadows.
The Citadel's freshmen move into the schedule this season, replacing David-
son. The Baby Bucs will have two home games this season.
During the summer, the coaches announced recruiting was moving along
well. Boys have been recruited from Florida, Maryland, New Hampshire, New
Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Virginia and the District
of Columbia. 3

Ficklen Stadium's PEPSI-COLA Scoreboard
The big Pirate scoreboard, which stands in the West end zone, is the gift
. the Minges family and the Pepsi-Cola Bottling Company of Greenville. The
oard, which was made from a specially designed pattern, is one of the largest
of its kind in the South. It takes two men to run the board, one keeping play-by-
play of the game and the other the official time.
