By GEORGE THREEWITTS
ECU News Bureau
The pirate, a symbol of East Carolina
University and its athletic teams, was
adopted from the legend and lore of
coastal North Carolina and was a natural
choice for a nickname when intercol-
legiate athletics began at the school in
the 1930's.
Pirates, fierce and colorful, were
prominent in North Carolina's colonial
period. The state's Outer Banks which
jut far out into the Atlantic were ideal
hideouts for these legendary gangsters
of the high seas. Many had homes and
families in the small villages along the
coast.
Edward Teach, best known as "Blackbeard" was a resident of Eastern North
Carolina. He had a house at Ocracoke on the Outer Banks and an inland home at Bath
on the Pamlico River.
East Carolina University's interest in pirates and sea lore began in 1934. That
year, the Tecoan, the yearbook for what was then East Carolina Teachers College,
Carried pirates as its theme. The pages were filled with paintings and sketches of
patched eye figures, tall ships and buried treasure. The book referred to the tales of
the infamous "Teachy the Pirate' often told by natives in the historic town of Bath.
The men's varsity team, at the time, was known as "The Teachers," a lackluster
band of athletes who had won only two football games in three seasons of existence.
But the student body's interest in pirates quickly resulted in changing the name of the
team to capture the romantic appeal of the early sea adventures. The change brought
so mush enthusiasm that in the following year, 1935, the Pirate football team had a
much better season, winning three of its six games.
Prior to the introduction of athletics for men, the ECTC Athletic Association,
comprising women athletes in basketball, tennis, baseball and archery were content
with the more classical nicknames. A 1930-31 Handbook for ECTC listed the two
teams that made up the Athletic Association as the Olympians and the Athenians.
Their colors were purple and gold (the same as today's colors) and the mascot a wildcat.
Other uses of the pirate theme began in the 1940's, witha literary magazine named
"Pieces of Eight." The name, however, was later changed to "Rebel."
The college yearbook became the "Buccaneer" in the 1950's and the pirate
symbol, the face of a bearded, patched-eye character with a crossed bone emblem on
his hat was added to the school seal in the mid 1960's.
The Pirate as it is seen today - Powerful Pee Dee - was Officially adopted as the new logo
in 1983.

PROSPECTUS COACHES es _... e OPPONENTS '83 IN REVIEW

GENERAL ASSESSMENT
The door is open for East Carolina University football, and Coach Ed Emory hopes to usher the
Pirates through it in 1984.
Anticipation and excitement are the key words as ECU comes off a spectacular 8-3 1983
season, one that saw it defeat the likes of Missouri and North Carolina State and come within an
eyelash of beating defending national champion Miami-Florida, Florida and Florida State. And all
those games were on the road.
"\We have more talent on this 1984 club than we had in 1983 or 1982," states Emory,
entering his fifth season at East Carolina. "But right now we are a very inexperienced team and it will
be mid-season until we find out what type of team we will have."
It will be baptism under fire for Emory's young Pirates as seven of the 11 games will be on the
road. That is the second straight season ECU will play in Ficklen Stadium only four times. And
among those seven road trips are Pittsburgh, North Carolina State, South Carolina, Tulsa and Florida
State.
The Pirates did lose 14 starters, but Emory has the nucleus back from a team that ended 1 983
ranked 20th in the final Associate Press poll, a first for an East Carolina football team. ECU also
occupied the No. 17 spot in the final Sports Illustrated voting.
Inexperience looms in two major areas. One, nota single person in the Pirate camp has taken a
snap at quarterback. And two, the entire defensive front was lost to graduation. Twelve starters are
back, but only 10 positions are covered as two players shared both tailback and flanker roles last
year as starters. Five positions, or seven players, return as starters on offense while only three return
to anchor the defense.
No major changes are expected offensively or defensively, with the Pirates once again relying
for the third straight year on the Option-| for yardage and the basic 5-2 defense. However, for the
third consecutive year, Emory will have a new offensive coordinator with Don Murry joining the ECU
staff from 1983 opponent Southwestern Louisiana, which is also on the Pirates' 1984 schedule.
OFFENSE
Finding a quarterback is Emory's biggest concern. Gone is two-year starter Kevin Ingam, whois
playing in Canada, but Emory has lots of candidates to choose from. ;
"If we are to be successful, one of our young quarterbacks has got to come forward and
produce," Emory said. ''! really believe we have the talent on hand, but they have to step up and get
the job done."
The three most likely are sophomore Darrell Speed, redshirt freshman Ron Jones and junior
college transfer Robbie Bartlett. Bartlett enjoyed considerable success in the Pirates' spring Purple
and Gold game, as did walk-on Brian Watts.
Both Jones and Speed did not play because of injuries. Jones injured a knee that required
orthroscopic surgery the last day of spring drills while Speed suffered a broken hand during the
course of the spring.
Tailback and wide receiver will be strong. The duo of Tony Baker and Jimmy Walden will again
share the tailback duties while Henry Williams, the nation's No. 1 kick returner in 1983, Ricky
Nichols, and the brother tandem of Stefon and Amos Adams give the Pirates a deep threat.
Although All-America Terry Long is gone at guard along with two other starters, ECU is strong
in the offensive line with the return of sophomore tackle Tim Duams, who is being touted as a pre-
season All-America candidate. The other lone starter back is right guard Norman Quick, but Emory
has plenty of talent to choose from to fill the other spots. Tim M itchell will start at center after playing
a great deal in 1983 due to the injury to starter John Floyd.
In general, the Pirate offense for 1984 could be as good as last year, provided key areas fall in
place. A quarterback must found and a young offensive line must develop.
"We could be truly outstanding on offense if a quarterback comes through and we stay
healthy," states Emory.
DEFENSE
Pure and simple, East Carolina has a lot of holes to fill. How well young talent develops in some
key positions will tell the story for 1984.
"We have outstanding athletes, but we are so darn young," Emory said. "We got cleaned out
across the front line, except for some experience at noseguard. Up front on defense is the area you
get hurt first.
"Our defensive abilities this season hinges strictly on the development of the interior linemen
and ends," explained Emory. '| think we have a chance to be pretty good defensively if they develop.

We do, however, have the best depth in years at linebacker and with defensive backs."
The only experience up front comes in the form of noseguard Chris Santa Cruz, who was a
linebacker until midway through the 1983 season. At the tackles, things are up in the air. Joe
Grinage emerged from the spring as the No. 1 right tackle with David Plum occupying the left side.
But the defensive line is no doubt Emory's biggest concern entering the 1984 season.
John Williamson and Vinson Smith won the Starting end spots in spring and their developmentisa
key to ECU's defensive success. After these, it's the same story of big, strong players who have not
proven themselves on the varsity level yet.
Linebacker is solid on both sides with P.J. Jordan on the left side and Tyrone Johnson on the
right. Behind them, Emory has additional talent to choose from.
The secondary is strong, even with the loss of starter Clint Harris at free safety. Two starters are
back in cornerbacks Kevin Walker and Calvin Adams while Gay London and junior college transfer
Keith Ford laid claim to the safety spots in the spring.
In general, the Pirate defense for 1984 will depend upon the development of two tackles and
two ends. If that happens in a positive way, look for another strong Pirate defense.
KICKING GAME |
With a two-year all-star placekicker, Starting punter and the nation's very best return man, one
must classify East Carolina's kicking game as one that will be very good in 1984.
Henry Williams led the nation in kickoff returns a year ago with his 31.1 yard average. And to
that, he tossed in his now famous end zone flip after each score. With kickoff returns of 99 and 93
yards and punt return scores of 56 and 55 yards, Williams is extremely dangerous.
Production can be counted on from placekicker Jeff Heath, whois already halfway to the school
scoring record in just two years. And punter Jeff Bolch just gets the job done. Bolch averaged 40.3
yards a punt last season, on 50 kicks. And add to that the return of deep snapper Stuart Ward.
THE SCHEDULE
It will be another ambitious year for East Carolina. After shocking many around the country with
superb performances against the name teams last year and coming within 13 points of an unbeaten
season, the Pirates have yet another opportunity to do the same in 1984.
Seven of the 11 games are on the road, Starting with the Sept. 1 opener with Florida State ina
rematch of last year's 47-46 thriller. Add to that South Carolina, North Carolina State, Pittsburgh,
Tulsa and Southern Mississippi.
Need more be said?

Offense
Lettermen: Returning 16, Lost 8 Starters: Returning 7*, Lost 6
Quarterback (Returning 1-Lost 2)
The Pirate's biggest question mark on offense. At the close of spring drills as many as
three could be taking the opening snap Sept. 1 against Florida State. Junior college transfer
Robbie Bartlett played well in the spring game, completing nine of 14 passes, while his
competition sat and watched. Both sophomore Darrell Speed (broken hand) and redshirt
freshman Ron Jones (knee) were injured during the course of spring workouts. Jones
underwent orthroscopic surgery after injuring his knee on the final day of the spring.
Jones could be the odds on favorite if his knee recovers by the start of fall drills. Walk on
Brian Watts was also impressive during the Purple and Gold game. No doubt, this is Ed
Emory's biggest offensive concern for 1984 with the graduation of two-year starter Kevin
Ingram.
Fullback (Returning 2-Lost 1)
Even with the graduation of leading rusher Earnest Byner, the Pirates will be strong here
with senior Reggie Branch, who played a backup role to Byner last season. Branch rushed for
166 yards on just 40 carries for a healthy 4.2 yards per carry average. And Emory feels
confident with the people he has behind Branch - sophomore Pat Bowens and redshirt
freshman George Franklin.
Tailback (Returning 2-Lost 0)
Emory smiles when this position comes up in conversation. Outside of the wide receivers,
this may be the Pirates strongest offensive position. Back are junior Tony Baker and senior
Jimmy Walden, who alternated at the spot in 1983 with great success. Baker ended the
season as ECU's second leading rusher (534 yards) while Walden wasn't far behind with his
453 yards. The two give ECU an impressive tailback attack. :
Flanker (Returning 2-Lost 0)
Back are 1983 starters Ricky Nichols and Henry Williams, which means bad news for
Opposing secondaries. Both possess 4.3 speed, with Nichols grabbing 15 passes for 222
yards and a gaudy 14.8 yards per catch average. Williams did not figure much in the Pirates'
Passing attack a year ago (four catches for 62 yards, 15.5 average) but willin 1984. Williams
Spent 1983 leading the nation in kick returns. Depth is also there with sophomore Chris
McLawhorn and redshirt freshman Tony Smith.
Split End (Returning 2-Lost O)
Stefon Adams is back - enough said. The talented senior was the Pirates' leading receiver
a year ago, grabbing 29 passes for 277 yards (13.9 average). Adams is a solid starter, which
he proved in 1983. Behind him is brother Amos Adams and junior Brent Holbrook, giving
ECU some depth it did not have last season.
Tackle (Returning 2-Lost 1)
The offensive line will take some work in 1984 with the loss of three starters. Gone at this
spot is All America choice John Robertson, but back is sophomore Tim Dumas, who impressed
many in 1983 with a phenominal freshman season. Dumas, however, is the only real
experience at this spot. Dumas will line up at left tackle while senior Brad Henson will
probably line up on the right side.
The talent is behind them, just untested. Emory is hoping for the fast development of Greg
Sokolohorsky, Theo Livingston, Rick Hilburn and Greg Quick.
Guard (Returning 2-Lost 1)
ECU suffered probably its biggest loss here with the graduation of first-team All-America
Terry Long, who was a fourth-round pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Senior Norman Quick,
who started with Long a year ago, is back, and will be backed up by redshirt freshman Petey
Davis and sophomore Paul Hoggard. In Long's spot is Mack Powers, a senior who saw action
at tackle during the 1983 season. Behind Powers is slim, with Emory looking to Rich
Autry.

Center (Returning 2-Lost 1)
Senior Tim Mitchell is back after starting the majority of the 1983 season after John Floyd
was sidelined. This spot will be solid for the Pirates as Mitchell will have help from Stuart
Ward, who also handles ECU's deep snapping chores, and sophomore Greg Thomas.
Tight End (Returning 1-Lost 2)
Emory is hoping this spot can be as strong as a year ago. Gone is starter Norwood Vann
(Los Angeles Rams), but Emory is looking to senior Damon Pope to step in and get the job
done. Pope did catch seven passes for 83 yards (11.9 average) in 1983. Behind him will bea
dogfight between sophomore Bryant Porter, junior Jeff Patton and possibly junior Barry
Wright, who played basketball for the Pirates during the 1983-84 season.
Defense
Lettermen: Returning 17, Lost11 | Starters: Returning 3, Lost 7
End (Returning 4-Lost 3)
It's pick and choose for Emory and his staff. The Pirates' defensive front was crippled by
graduation, losing all five starters, including both devensive ends. And replacing Jeff Pegues
will not be easy. Emory is looking to either redshirt freshman Ron Gillard or junior Willie Mack
on the right side while the left side could see any one of three people - redshirt freshman
Vinson Smith, senior Dave Thomas or redshirt freshman Essray Taliaferro. Quick develop-
ment at defensive end will be a key for the Pirates in 1984.
Tackle (Returning 2-Lost 3)
The same holds true here. Tackle was probably the Pirates' strongest defensive position a
year ago, but will be a question mark in 1984. The talent is there, but the experience is lacking.
Emory will turn to sophomore David Plum on the left side and Joe Grinage on the right. Behind
them Emory is hoping for the quick advancement of redshirt freshmen Leon Hall and Glenn
Geist.
Noseguard (Returning 1-Lost 1)
This spot could be the strongest in Emory's five years at ECU. Senior Chris Santa Cruz,
moved from linebacker last year, has the potential to be a good one while redshirt freshman
Medrick Rainbow raised some eyebrows during the spring. Emory is hoping this position can
set the tone for his defensive front.
Linebacker (Returning 5-Lost 1)
Can be summed up in one word - strong. Back is 1983 starter P.J. Jordan, who was inon
90 tackles last year, and senior Tyrone Johnson, who registered 56 tackles in 1983. It will be
Jordan's third year asa starter while Johnson will try to step in and fill the vacancy left by Mike
Grant, who is playing with the USFL's Memphis Showboats.
Cornerback (Returning 3-Lost 1)
Both 1983 starters are back - junior Kevin Walker on the left side and senior Calvin
Adams on the right side. Walker led the Pirates with five interceptions last year, and the two
will combine to give ECU some necessary experience in the secondary. Emory likes his depth
here, with senior Rally Caparas behind Walker and junior Tim Pittman and redshirt freshman
Ellis Dillahunt behind Adams.
Safety (Returning 2-Lost 2)
Second-team All-America Clint Harris, who many considered the best athlete in 1983, is
gone, but Emory has lots of talent to choose from. Stepping to the front during the spring were
sophomore Gary London at strong safety and junior college transfer Keith Ford at free safety.
Lending help will be junior Vernard Wynn, senior Randy Bost and James Martin.
Specialists
Lettermen: Returning 3, Lost 1 Starters: Returning: 3, Lost O
Placekicker (Returning 1, Lost 0)
A strong position with record-setting junior Jeff Heath back. Although Heath experienced
a sub-par 1983 season, converting on olny nine of 21 field attempts, he made a name for
himself in 1982, setting school records for most field goals (16) and longest field goal (58
yards). He's a threat when he's on.

ED EMORY
(East Carolina, 1960)
Best Time To Call:
10:30 AM to 12 PM, M-F
In only four seasons, Ed Emory has molded the
East Carolina program into a national contender in
college football.
After two major rebuilding years, Emory's 1982
and 1983 Pirate squads posted 7-4 and 8-3 records,
respectively, against some of the toughest com-
petition in college football. The four losses in 1982
were to Missouri, North Carolina State, Florida State
and West Virginia while 1983 saw the Pirates lose
to only Florida State, Florida and national champion
Miami (Fla.).
Emory returned to his alma mater in 1980, bringing with him a reputation as one of the finest
recruiters in this region. While serving as an assistant coach at Clemson, Duke and Georgia Tech,
Emory was able to recruit some of the finest players in the South. ECU's last five recruiting classes
have been among the strongest, if not the strongest, in Pirate history.
The 1983 season also saw Emory finish second to Miami-Florida's Howard Schnellenberger for All-
Southern Independent Coach of the Year honors.
A four-year starter for the Pirates from 1956-59, Emory was three times all-conference and all-
district NAIA for Coach Jack Boone. His first three years were spent playing guard while he enjoyed
a standout senior season at tackle. He was twice named best blocker and most outstanding
lineman, while serving as a senior co-captain and gaining third-team All-America honors.
Emory has enjoyed success on both the high school and college levels. Upon graduation from
ECU, he coached for Wadesboro and Bowman High's in Wadesboro; Grainger High in Kinston; and
Brevard High, compiling an impressive 80-1 2-4 overall record. He also coached wrestling (92-1 0-
20), track (72-10) and tennis (38-6).
High schooi honors have been many, including six'coach-of-the-year awards. In 1972, Emory
served as head coach for the North Carolina Shrine Bowl team, and in 1973 was head coach in the
North-South Boy's Home ail-star game.
In 1967 and 1968, Emory coached running backs at Wake Forest. After five highly successful
Seasons as head coach at Brevard High School, he shifted in 1973 to become the junior varsity
coordinator at Clemson. He was named backfield coach for the Tigers in 1974 and 1975 and
became their line coach in 1976.
The Lancaster, SC, native was the linebacker coach at Duke in the spring of 1977. In 1 978, he
returned to coaching at Georgia Tech as defensive line coordinator and out-of-state recruiting
director under Coach Pepper Rodgers until assuming his present position at East Carolina.

The James Skinner Ficklen Memorial Stadium was dedicated on September 21,
1963, with East Carolina defeating Wake Forest 20-10.
The dedication game was the culmination of a dream come true for the then East
Carolina College and all of eastern North Carolina. The original plan was announced
on Oct. 7, 1961, by Dr. Leo Jenkins, Chancellor of the College, at a meeting of the
Society of Buccaneers.
Within a year, $283,387 had been raised, although the goal had been only
$200,000. With the funds in hand, Ficklen Stadium was built.
The original stadiumconsisted of the permanant stands on the south side, a
small press box and the old lighting system that was removed after the 1974 season.
Total cost was $300,000.
The north side permanent seating was constructed in 1968, increasing the
stadium seating capacity to 20,000.
The stadium was named for the late James Skinner Ficklen, a Greenville resident,
who distinguished himself as one of America's leading tobacconists. At the time of
his death in 1955, Ficklen was President and Chairman of the Board of the E.B.
Ficklen Tobacco Company of Greenville. He was a close friend of the College and
established a financial aid foundation, the Ficklen Foundation, to aid students of the
College.
The first major change in Ficklen Stadium was the lighting system, a change that
occurred just before the 1975 season opened. The old inner-stadium lights on six
poles were removed and replaced with six towers outside the stadium. The system is
a combination of metallic and incandescent lights. There are 288 fixtures of 1 500
watts each on the six 162-foot high towers. Cost of the system was $450,000.
Engineers say ECU has the best lighted stadium in the southeast.
A radical change greeted fans as the 1978 season opened. An expansion on all
four corners boosted Ficklen's seating capacity from 20,000 to 35,000, the third
largest stadium in North Carolina. This expansion was made possible with 2" million
dollars through a drive in the spring of 1977.
In addition to more seats, an ultra-modern press box with three levels and an
elevator for access was built. The much needed press box is one of the finest in the
country with space for 92 writers and an entire floor for electronic media. Also, a
modern scoreboard with a lightbank message center was placed on the east end of
Ficklen.
During the summer of 1983, a complete renovation took place on the playing
surface. A new drainage system, a new base of gravel and sand, new treated topsoil
and a new grass was installed. The new grass, Tifton 41 9 Hybrid-Bermuda was
sprigged at the rate of 600 bushels per acre. The playing field is approximately two
acres.
The 1983 season saw ECU seta set a school record for average game attendance
in Ficklen Stadium (24,492) as the Pirates extended their home unbeaten string to
eight games.

This game seemed to set the tone for 1983. East Carolina, absent from all the pre-season polls, Oo
threw a scare into No. 7 Florida State as the game was not decided until the final minutes. After A
leading much of the game, the Pirates found themselves trailing by one point with 4:36 remaining.
On a third-and-three from the ECU 30-yard line, ECU quarterback Kevin Ingram broke loose for a
48-yard gain to the Florida State 32. But as he was hit from behind Ingram lost control of the ball,
and the Seminoles recovered the fumble.

up 233 yards of total offense in the first 30 minutes. oO
East Carolina jumped out quick in the second half as Henry Williams returned the opening ps)

2. East Carolina 22
North Carolina State 16
Carter-Finley Stadium September 10, 1983
Raleigh, NC Attendance: 57,700
Before the largest crowd to witness a football game in North Carolina history, East Carolina
notched what Coach Ed Emory labeled its "greatest victory ever" over the Wolfpack.
Trailing early, the Pirates used successive touchdown drives to overcome North Carolina State
before 57,700 fans. The victory was only the fourth in the 1 4-game series with State which began
in 1970. The win also snapped ECU's five-game losing streak at the hands of the Wolfpack, who last
lost to an ECU team in 1977.
The Wolfpack took a 13-7 first-half lead, and with Mike Cofer's 24-yard field goal with 10:37 to
play in the third quarter, State found itself with a 16-7 advantage. But two series later the Pirates
drove 59 yards in nine plays with tailback Tony Baker covering the final six yards on a power sweep
for the score.
With the score 16-14 and 14:29 remaining State began a drive that later stalled, giving ECU the
ball on its own 1 7. The Pirates then covered 83 yards in 11 plays. Fullback Earnest Byner ended the
go-ahead scoring drive with his five-yard TD run. Byner ended the night with 97 carries while
quarterback Kevin Ingram chipped in 90 on 16 carries.
Ingram added the two-point conversion with his three-yard run, making the final count 22-
16.
The Pirates did have to hold off two late State drives, the last ending at the ECU 10 yard line as
time ran out. Cornerback Chuck Bishop dropped State running back Vince Evans for a seven-yard
loss as time expired.
State's Joe Mcintosh paced the Wolfpack with his 160 yards rushing.

Quarterback Kevin Ingram ran for two touchdowns and passed for two others as East Carolina
opened its 1983 home schedule in style with a convincing 50-25 victory over the Division I-AA
Racers.
After spotting Murray State a quick 3-0 lead, the Pirates retaliated with 23 points of their own
over the next 9:40 for a very comfortable 26-3 halftime lead. Ingram directly contributed to 18 of
those 26 first-half points, scoring the Pirates' first touchdown onan eight-yard run, then passing 2 7
yards to tight end Norwood Vann and six yards to tight end Damon Pope.
The Pirates lead ballooned to 40-6 after three quarters, and the rout was on.
Henry Williams returned a Murray State kickoff 93 yards for a touchdown after the Racers had
closed the lead to 26-6, then Ingram added his second touchdown from six yards out with 6:21 still
to play in the third quarter.
East Carolina's defense played one of its best games of the year, limiting the Racers to just 71
yards rushing, with most of Murray State's 310 yards of total offense coming ina 19-point fourth
quarter.
Even with the starters sitting on the bench for the final quarter, the Pirates did manage one last
touchdown drive, engineered by reserve quarterback John Williams. Williams directed the ECU
offense 80 yards, with the final 20 coming on his pass to Amos Adams for the final 25-point
Margin.

Faurot Field October 1, 1983
Columbia, Mo. Attendance: 48,268
East Carolina called on its defense more than once against the Big Eight Missouri Tigers, and
each time the defense answered. And in the end, the defense rested.
Limiting Missouri to a pair of first-half field goals and 223 yards of total offense, the Pirates
shocked the 48,000-plus fans in the Tigers' Faurot Field, pinning a 13-6 loss on the hometown
fans.
The two teams battled for three quarters, and in the end Henry Williams and Kevin Ingram
provided East Carolina with the needed push to get over the top. With the score knotted at 6-6 and
nine minutes to play, Williams broke loose ona punt return for 23 yards, putting ECU at the Missouri
40.
Three rushing plays produced a first down, then Ingram dropped back and fired a strike to
flanker Ricky Nichols in the left corner of the end zone for the game's only touchdown. It also
happened to provide the winning points.
East Carolina's defense then rose to the occasion over the last 8:56 to stymie Missouri time after
time. Going into the game the Pirates had given up 87 points in just three prior outings, but the
Tigers found the going tough. Missouri, at the time the nation's 15th-best rushing team, could
muster just 86 yards on the ground.
Ingram finished the day completing 10-of-17 passes for 135 yards and that all important
touchdown pass as ECU rolled up 331 yards of total offense. The victory was ECU's third straight
after a heartbreaking 47-46 season-opening loss at Florida State.
"We just got better and better on defense,' said Head Coach Ed Emory. 'We like to line up and
play agressive. That's East Carolina football."

Greenville, NC Attendance: 27,345
East Carolina tailback Tony Baker rushed for 108 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Pirates
to a close 21-18 victory of the pesky Southwestern Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns before 27,345
fans.
Baker totalled 86 of his yards in the second half, when the Pirates needed them most. Yet it still
took a 63-yard East Carolina drive in the final quarter for the Pirates to come away with the victory
and stretch their winning streak to four games.
"It wasn't pretty, but we'll take it," said Head Coach Ed Emory as the Pirates improved their
record to 4-1. "Wedidn't take this game lightly, but we just didn't play with as much intensity as we
have in our last several games."
ECU had built a 14-3 halftime lead, but three second-half fumbles directly resulted in two
Southwestern Louisiana scores, and the Pirates found themselves trailing 18-10 with 13:06 to
play.
But Baker came to the rescue with his one-yard scoring plunge, which capped that final 63 yard
march.
The Ragin' Cajuns outgained ECU 468 yards to 393 as USL held the upper hand in almost every
Statistical category. The Cajuns, in fact, ran 81 plays tothe Pirates' 68 and punted just twice. Time of
possession was also in favor of USL (33:43 to 26:1 7).
After scoring the go-ahead, and what proved to be the winning touchdown with 7:30 still to play,
the Pirates had to hold off USL one more time, stopping the Cajuns at the USL 44.

Franklin Field October 15, 1983
Philadelphia, PA Attendance: 5,461
Kevin Ingram enjoyed a homecoming of sorts, as the Philadelphia native and former Villanova
star connected on 1 2-of-19 passes for 173 yards as East Carolina rolled to its fifth straight victory,
24-11, over the Temple Owls.
The game, originally scheduled for Veterans Stadium, was moved to Franklin Field because of
the schedule conflict with the World Series between the Baltimore Orioles and Philadelphia Phillies,
prompting a sparse turnout of 5,461.
Tony Baker carried the ball 22 times for 117 yards to lead all Pirate rushers while running mate
Earnest Byner chipped in with 60 yards on 18 carries.
Jeff Heath got things started with his 49-yard field goal in the first quarter and the rest seemed
easy. Ingram upped that to 10-0 with his one yard scoring run at 10:06 of the second quarter, then
safety Clint Harris gave the Pirates a comfortable 17-0 halftime lead with his 74-yard interception
return for a touchdown.
Henry Williams accounted for ECU's only touchdown of the second half as he raced 55 yards
with a punt at 10:57 of the third quarter, giving the Pirates a nice 24-3 cushion.
"This is a great win," said Head Coach Ed Emory. "Anytime you win five in a row you have got to
be happy. "
The victory was indeed the Pirates fifth straight after a season-opening 47-46 loss to Florida
State in Tallahassee, Fla.
Ingram made sure No. 5 was a certainty as 99 of 173 yards passing came in the first half. The
senior completed his last seven passes - all to different receivers - before the close of the first half
after his first pass of the day fell incomplete.

Florida Field October 22, 1983
Gainesville, Fla. Attendance: 73,943
It was game No. 2 in the three-game series between East Carolina and the State of Florida, and
for the second time the Pirates came out on the short side.
But for the second time, not by much.
The No. 6 Florida Gators needed a six-yard touchdown run by Neal Anderson with 6:23 to play
and a defensive stand late in the game to preserve the 24-1 7 Homecoming victory before a Florida
Field record crowd of 73,943.
As was the case against Florida State in the season opener, the Pirates jumped out toa quick lead
by virtue of an 80-yard, 10-play drive. The 13-yard run by Earnest Byner gave ECU a 7-0 lead, but
more importantly was the first first-quarter TD scored on Florida all season.
The Pirates took a 10-7 lead into the dressing room at intermission, but the Gators exploded for
10 third-quarter points while the Florida defense shut down the Pirate offense.
Jimmy Walden tied things at 1 7-1 7 with his 15-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter,
but Anderson answered with his own scoring jaunt with time running out. The Pirates moved the
ball to the Florida 34 yard line where they faced a fourth-and-four situation with 2:32 to play.
That drive stalled, but ECU got one last chance getting the ball back on its own 10. The Pirates
drove to the Florida 37, but with three receivers in the game quarterback Kevin Ingram bobbled the
Snap as the horn sounded.
The loss snapped the Pirates' win streak at five, with both losses on their 5-2 record coming to
Florida schools.

Ficklen Stadium October 29, 1983
Greenville, NC Attendance: 33,767
A record Ficklen Stadium crowd watched East Carolina jump out quickly in the first half, then go
through the motions in the second to come away with a less-than-impressive 21-9 Homecoming
victory before 33,767 fans.
The Pirates, who had their five-game winning streak snapped the week before in Gainesville,
Fla., ran off 21 unanswered points and it looked as if the home fans were finally going to get the
performance they had been hoping for. But East Tennessee State refused to roll over and play dead,
shutting down the explosive Pirate offense for the final 40 minutes.
Jimmy Walden opened the scoring with his 21-yard touchdown run with 13:13 to play in the
first quarter, giving the Pirates a quick 7-O. That quickly ballooned to 14-0 when quarterback Kevin
Ingram found flanker Ricky Nichols for 34 yards and the score just seven minutes later.
It was 21-0 before the Buccaneers knew what hit them as Reggie Branch bulled in from two
yards out, putting the Division I-AA Bucs in a 21-0 hole.
But ECU's offensive success quickly ended.
"| take full credit for the loss of momentum,' said Head Coach Ed Emory. '| wanted to play some
young guys and subbed early. Things came too easy in the first quarter. Then, in the second quarter
we got down there three times and didn't score.
'I'm so disappointed that we did not play good and play inspired in front of the large crowd, '
Emory said. 'We just never seem to play as well at home as we do on the road."
East Tennessee State was never in any real position to win the game, but it did make things
respectable with its third-quarter field goal and fourth-quarter touchdown. The victory upped ECU's
record to 6-2, and was its sixth win in its last seven games.

Orange Bowl November 5, 1983
Miami, Fla Attendance: 39,255
Trip No. 3 to Florida for East Carolina reaped the same results as the previous two, but once again
the Pirates did not leave the Sunshine State without leaving an impression.
The Pirates had No. 5 Miami-Florida down 7-6 late in the fourth quarter in the Orange Bowl. ECU
had taken the ball to the Miami three yard line, the drive stalled and Jeff Heath came onto attempta
21-yard field goal that would give the Pirates some breathing room. But as Heath approached the
ball, acannon was fired behind the goal posts Heath was kicking towards and his effort sailed wide
right.
The Hurricanes, eventual national champions, seized the opportunity on the next series when
they drove 80 yards, with quarterback Bernie Kosar going the final yard, for a 12-7 lead.
East Carolina had one last chance when a Hail Mary pass from quarterback Kevin Ingram found
its way into Stefon Adams' hands. But a streaking Norwood Vann collided with his teammate
Adams at the Miami goal line, knocking the ball loose and preserving the Hurricane victory.
The loss was the third for the Pirates in the state of Florida in 1983, with only 13 points
Separating them from three victories.
"We would have had the game right there,' said Head Coach Ed Emory, referring to the deflected
pass. 'We had our chances four times to get points, but did not do so. You can't do that against a
great team like Miami."
The Pirates outgained the Hurricanes (332 to 290) in total yards while also running 11 more
offensive plays (72 to 61), but missed field goals and a lost fumble proved to be the difference in the
end.

Earnest Byner and Tony Baker took care of business very nicely in East Carolina's fourth and final
home game of the 1983 season.
The two combined for 264 yards and four touchdowns as the Pirates rebounded from their
heartbreaking loss to Miami a week earlier to nail William & Mary with a 40-6 defeat.
Baker finished the game with 135 yards on 20 carries and scored on runs of 18 and one yards
while Byner chipped in with 129 yards on 20 carries along with a one-yard TD lunge and a six-yard
scoring pass from Kevin Ingram.
Jimmy Walden also scored a pair of touchdowns on runs of 15 and four yards as the Pirates
rolled up 566 yards of offense while limiting the Indians to 294. William & Mary could rush for only
81 yards as 213 of the Indians' total yards''came through the air.
"This is the closest we've been to a complete game all year," said Head Coach Ed Emory. "Give
credit to the defensive staff. | expect this is the best Williams & Mary has been shut down all year.
There was a lot of skepticism about our defense early in the year, but they have hung in there and
gotten better."
The six points was William & Mary's lowest point production of the 1983 season, and it could
have very well been lower than that. The Indians were stymied all day by a very agressive Pirate
defense and did not put their lone score on the board until the 8:30 mark of the final quarter.
Ingram also enjoyed an exceptional game, rushing for 74 yards while also passing for 80 more
and one touchdown.

1) East Carolina 10
Southern Mississipp! 6
Roberts Stadium November 19, 1983
Hattiesburg, Miss. Attendance: 21,000
This game may have classified as East Carolina's bowl game - The Mud Bowl.
The skies in Hattiesburg, Miss., opened up and drenched the natural turf of Roberts Stadium,
turning the game between the Pirates and Southern Mississippi into a splashing affair. But in the
end, Southern Mississippi came up a little water-logged.
ECU came away with a 10-6 victory to end its most successful season since 1978 when the
then Pat Dye-coached Pirates went 9-3, including an Independence Bowl victory over Louisiana
Tech.
Both teams were fighting against tornado-watch winds, but Head Coach Ed Emory said he
wouldn''t have wanted to win his fourth road game in any other fashion.
"Vou couldn't have had a better storybook finish for me,'" Emory said. "To win away from home
on our seventh road trip, playing in this kind of weather and coming from behind like we did made
the win so much better.
'It's better to win that way to me than to win ona dry field 48-0," Emory said. 'It really made the
kids feel that they could overcome all adversity. ?
The Pirates fell behind early 6-O on two Southern Mississippi field goals. But both those came in
the first quarter, and ECU kept the explosive Golden Eagles off the scoreboard the remainder of
the night.
Following a bad Southern Mississippi punt, the Pirates started on the USM 22 yard line, then
quickly punched the ball in when quarterback Kevin Ingram connected with tight end Norwood
Vann from 14 yards out, midway through the third quarter.
Placekicker Jeff Heath then added a 37-yard field goal with 1:07 left in the third quarter to close
out the night's scoring.
The rest was all defense. And weather.
