McCammon and coaching staff, Fiedler, Crawley and Bennett

Returns 6 lettermen

Coach McCammon optimistic of ’68 Cubs ‘Special to the Banner’

“Every position is wide open” says coach Jim McCammon of his 1968 Greencastle football team. “We only have one regular back out of six letterman but we’re loaded with a good crop of sopomores coming off an undefeated freshman season.” McCammon will head the Tiger Cub grid team after 10 years as assistant. “We’re all looking forward to the season (coaching staff) and I feel optimistic about it. “I don’t like to use the word ’’rebuilding year” because that makes it sound like I only expect to win five or six games, he said. “It’s true we don’t have an experienced team, but I feel we have a good bunch of boys and can do a good job.” he added. Greencastle lost almost an entire team that posted a 7-3 season last year for coach Bob Bergman, who will head the Rose Poly engineers this fall. The biggest turnout in the history of the school opened practice drills Thursday morning at 8 o’clock sharp behind the high school. Marc Monnett, a senior offensive guard will be the only returning letterman back who was a starter for Bergman. Dan Murphy and Phil Clark both backs and seniors are two of the returnees, along with tackles, Gerald Cook and Les Vermillion, and end Darryl Pierce, all seniors. “We’re not a big monsterous team nor are we a small team” said McCammon, but on the whole

we have fair size and good speed. McCammonis assisted by Gary Myers of Indiana State and Joe Fiedler the head line coach. Also assisting will be freshman mentors Dick Crawley and Wally Bennett who guided the incoming ‘sophs’ to a 6-0 mark. This season Crawley inherits another 6-0 team that Steve Paquin coached through the 8th grade ranks. The quarterback spot, vacated by Norris, will be up for grabs by one senior and two underclassmen. Senior Jim Ray a 5-8, 155 pounder, who recently moved in from Hot Springs, South Dakato, and Rick Bundy, a 5-10, 170 pound junior, who suffered an injury last year will be two of the candidates. Scott Coring a 5-8, 140 pound sophomore will also via for signal caller. McCammon added that all could throw the ball, but varied in style. Another sophomore back who looks promising for the Tiger backfield is Pat Luzar, a 5-10 170 pounder who may play either halfback or full back. Other good backfield prospects McCammon pointed out, were Tony Harmless and Charlie Knauer. John Gough a back last year will be changed from the backfield to the line ths season, adding more strength up front. There are two other prospects McCammon will have to see perform before making a decision whether they will be backs or lineman. “Sophomores Bill Brown and John Zellers, both

around 5-9, and 170 pounds, are among backfield possibilities says McCammon.” I’ll probably use one in the back field and send the other one to the line.” Coach McCammon will call on Darryl Pierce for kicking duties, “He wasn’t far behind Norris as a kicker last year” he commented, and any boy who can kick 15 yards behind Norris a good high school kicker.” We’ll definately be strong in this department, McCammon added. As for a punter, coach McCammon says he plans to take 15 to 20 minutes a day to find a punter. “We’ll just work at conditioning, agility and fundamentals the first three or four days before having contact, then I plan to run a few basic patterns.” The team will have one extra week to practice before the first game September 6, giving McCammon a little more time to get the team ready. McCammon ended by saying, “ I think the main thing with the team is having plenty of spirit, and with that we can surprise a lot of people.” Looks forward to prospects First season head coach for the Vincennes University cross country team, Bill Stegemoller, is looking forward to prospects for a good season with four of last year’s top seven men returning. Returning from last year’s third place national squad are Bob Turner, Vincennes; Paul Sills, Hammond Gavit; Ron Edmonds, Bloomington; Gary Homes, North Central, Sullivan county; and Jim Spurlock, Vevay. Spurlock was probably the most improved runner during the season and he finished at the NJCAA finals in fifth place for the V.U. team. Additions to the team, which will open its season on September 17 at Indiana State University, will be outstanding distance runners from Indiana, Ohio, and Brooklyn, New York. Some of these are excellent prospects for next spring’s track team also. The schedule includes nine duel and triangular meets and four invitationals, the Big-Little State Meet and the NJCAA meet in Lawrence, Kansas, on November 16. Last year’s team had an amazing 7-2 record in dual and triangular meets, losing only by a few points to Purdue and Indiana State Universities.

Strong cross country team expected; 4 return

‘Special to the Banner’ Greencastle cross country coach Dave McCracken is looking forward to this fall cross country season with great enthusiam. Says McCracken, starting his sixth season, “I’ll have my top four runners back from last year, and these boys are real good runners. Heading the list of top performers is Don Dowty, a senior who placed fourth in last years Western Indiana Conference meet at Terre Haute and won the most valuable runner award in 1967. The team placed fifth in the league and should be much stronger this season. Number two runner last year running second to Dowty after the final tabulation, was Sam Hecko another senior “Hecko and Dowty ran first and second all last season.” commented McCracken, Dowty taking the lead for good late in the season. Three other runners who will bolster the squad are Rick Mount, Mike Gray and Pat Blose. “These three should be my next best runners” coachMcCracken concluded. All participants in the sport run a two-mile country course with the first seven finishers for the teams entered receiving points for the order of finish, with the lower team score winning the meet. The Banner will carry the cross country schedule at a later date. “Big Klu” To Rejoin Redlegs Home run slugger Ted Kluszewski, former Cincinnati Reds first base great, has rejoined his former colleagues as a batting instructor, Executive VicePresident and General Manager Bob Howsam announces. Big Klu will serve as a batting instructor next spring at Tampa, Florida, working with the Reds’ younsters at camp. “It’s something I’ve always wanted to do,” said Ted, “and when Howsam asked whether I’d be interested in this type of work, it didn’t take me long to give him an answer.” A restaurateur since his active playing career ended, Klu will continue to operate his “Ted Kluzewski Steak Houses” in the Cincinnati area. Kluszewski’s career with the Reds spanned 10 years (19481957). He socked 251 homerunsmore than any lefthanded hitter in Reds’ history. He established a major league record for first basemen by leading in fielding five consecutive seasons (1951-1955), set an N.L. record for most consecutive games scoring runs (17), and led N.L. first basemen in double plays four years to tie former Red Frank McCormick’s major league mark. Klu is among the top five in eight offensive departments for the Reds—games, at bats, runs, hits, doubles, home runs, total bases and runs batted in. Before he concluded hs active playing career with the expansion California Angels, Klu had appeared in four All-Star games (hitting .500) and one World Series with the Chicago White Sox in 1959. —Reelsville °

I.S.U. coaches smile

TERRE HAUTE, Ind.— Although one couldn’t guess by the weather the past few weeks, fall is just around the corner and football practice is even closer... practice starts in less than 10 days at Indiana State. Looking ahead to the prospects, ISU coach Jerry Huntsman says, “We should have an improved team this season.” An improved team could give the Indiana State fans something to really shout about as the Sycamores played to a 6-4 record last year and had a 6-2 record the year before that. Huntsman states, “We are hoping for some improvement at the quarterback spot.” Four candidates are trying for the signal-caller’s, including twoyear regular Ron Overton (Evansville). Others trying to nail down the spot are junior Norm Pellegrini (Elizabeth,Pa.) sophomore Steve Oglesby (Flora, 111.) and junior college transfer Verbie Walder (Dayton, O.). “We will also have to work hard on rebuilding the right side of our offensvie line, says Huntsman, starting his third year at the helm of the Sycamore gridders. “We lost co-captain and three-year veteran John Grimes at tight end, three-year veteran Dan Bates at right tackle and two-year letterman Jeff Rudolph at right guard.” But with changing of positions, the ISU staff has come up with a lineup that finds lettermen at all three spots.

“Every team on the schedule willbe improved this year,” says Huntsman, adding, “and that’s not just our evaluation..through our conversations with other coaches and the news releases we see, everyone on the schedule feels in his own camp that his team will be stronger this fall.” Who will be the toughest? “Based on what we know about the teams, we would have to say that Akron, Northern Illinois and Ball State will be the three strongest teams we’ll face this year, answers Huntsman. Getting ready for those and the seOn other teams on the ISU schedule will start Saturday, August 24, when some 66 candidates report back for fall practice. Way Up North HELSINKI.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. If there are smiles on the faces of the Indiana State football coaches’ faces this week, there probably good reason...the showing of the future Indiana State gridders in the second annual North-South All Star Football Game at Bloomington last Saturday. Five prep gridders who have signed ISU national letter of intents played in the contest and one of them, Bob Hackleman of Indianapolis North Central, was

selected the game’s Most Valuable Player. In addition, Jasper’s Ken Schmidt, also headed Jpr ISU this fall, was the ganffi’s leading ground-gainer, while defensive lineman Willie Clemmons of Indianapoli Crispus Attucks recovered two fumbles for the winning South team. Other future I-State players included Steve Balash, a 6-0, 195- pound guard from Hobart, and George Ralston, a 5-9, 200pound center from Gerstmeyer of Terre Haute.
