Football Prospects Egg 1999 gt University pj Kentucky Although the Kentucky Wildcats, under a brand new coaching staff, were able to win only two out of nine games last season, prospects for 1959 are encouraging. Facing a hard schedule, the Wildcats should have an even chance of winning a majority of their nine games this fall although even the most optimistic fan would hardly expect Kentucky to hold its own against such powerful foes as Tennessee and Alabama, I .. A ‘» · . I ‘ "' s `· • I · i. • i 6 4 N b I 6. When Ab Kirwan took over the coaching job last fall he found football in a deplorable condition at Kentucky after an upheaval that resulted in the resignation of Chet Wynne as head coach following a disastrous‘ season. The material at hand was not of the best and Cuxhipline was at a low ebb. All but one of the regulars from the preceding season had been graduated or disabled by injuries. In addition to three players on whom Kirwan banked to be bul- warks of his 1958 team, who were lost to the squad because they J failed to respond to operations aimed at correcting disabilities, I three outstanding linemen were dismissed from the squad early in the season for drciplinary measures. One of the best prospects for a halfback position left school. So it was with a skeleton squad with few reserves that Kirwan and his assistants began the 1958 season. After winning their first two games against weak opposition, the Wildcats lost every other game on their schedule. But the fans remained loyal and there was a minimum of criticism. The one cheerful ray was the excellent freshman team of last fall which included several talented backs and linemen. These youngsters came along fast during spring practice as did sophomores who performed nobly on the varsity last fall. As only four lettermen were lost by graduation in June, Kirwan will have a more cheerful outlook on life when the practice season begins September l. The squad is considerably larger than it was last year, with adequate reserves, more speed in the backfield, more power in the line and more experience behind the players. The hardest position to fill will be the center post vacated by Sherman Hinkebein, and there still will be a lack of enough tackles, but the team should be considerably more potent in all other 6.

As only four lettermen were lost by graduation in June, Kirwan will have a more cheerful outlook on life when the practice season begins September 1. The squad is considerably larger than it was last year, with adequate reserves, more speed in the backfield, more power in the line and more experience behind the players. The hardest position to fill will be the center post vacated by Sherman Hinkebein, and there still will be a lack of enough tackles, but the team should be considerably more potent in all other ` _» O - A { r K ` - ’ 7. positions. Especially encouraging is the crop of good ends, a depart- ment in which the Wildcats have been weak for many years. But in Bill McCubbin and James Hardin, the end coach, Frank Moseley, believes he has developed a pair of flankmen equal to any in the South. Veteran halfbacks who should cause much grief to the enemy this fall are Carl Combs and Dave Zoeller, both of whom were sophomores last year. Wilce Carnes and Charles Ishmael were good fullbacks last year and both showed improvement in spring practice. Joe Bailey, 195-pound junior, who was the third string center last year, should be able to fill Hinkebein*s shoes at center. Cut- standing candidates for line positions are Tom Spickard, Pete Vires, Bob Palmer and Emmet Willoughby, guards; Luke Linden, John Eibner, Ed Jacobs and Walter Reid, tackles. All are veterans. The most promising graduates from last year's freshman team are Noah Mullins, halfback who runs the lOO—yard—dash in less than lO seconds; Ermal Allen, a passing wizard halfback; Sam Hulette and I Jack Waters, husky guards; Robert Beeler and George Schlagle, tackles; and Allen Parr, end. As was the case last year, Joe Shepherd, senior quarterback, will do most of the punting. Shepherd is captain of the team. Al- though not a phenomenal punter, Shepherd is dependable, getting off his kicks quickly with good elevation and fair distance. He is a good blocker and pass receiver and uses good judgment in calling plays. When the Wildcats go into their opening game they probably will line up as follows: · ` ’ ‘ I . 9 ` A . ‘ ' e, ' " » _ Left end -- Hardin Left tackle —- Eibner Left guard -- Willoughby Center -- Bailey Right guard -- Palmer Right tackle -- Linden Right end -— McCubbin Quarterback —- Shepherd X Left halfback -- Zocller Right halfback -- Cembs Fullback -- Ishmael University gg Kentucky Football Roster NO.

' ` l Outstanding Wildcat Candidates for l959 Season JOE SHEPHERD, senior quarterback and captain of the team, served as captain of the Louisville Manual Training High School football team in 1955 when his present coach, Ab Kirwan, was football coach at Manual. He has earned two football letters as a Wildcat and was the "Iron Man" of the squad in 1958, playing throughout all but one game without having time out called for him a single time. He seldom carries the ball but does most of the punting and is an excellent pass receiver and blocker. He is a clever field general. He was a member of the all-Kentucky high school team of 1955. Besides playing football, he also is a splendid baseball player and was regular third baseman on the Wildcat nine last spring. He is in the College of Arts and Sciences. JOE BAILEY, a junior in football, will endeavor to uphold the reputation made by superb Wildcat centers in past years. He saw little action last fall because there were two fine centers, Sherman Hinkebein and Harold Black, both seniors, ranked ahead of him. With an ideal build, a fighting heart and a savage love of the game, Bailey has the ability and his coaches believe he is the answer to their prayer. A native of Paducah, he was an all—Kentucky high school center. He was president of his class at the University in 1958. He is in the College of Education. TOM SPICKARD, dependable guard, is the "hard luck" member of the squad. After taking part in only two games his sophomore year, he was declared ineligible scholastieally through a technicality and was not allowed to complete the season on the team although a regular. He is married and will receive his degree from the College of Agriculture next June. • A . » , l ` · i I I . ` · ‘ ll. PETE VIRES, husky senior guard, is a product of Louisville Manual, where he was an all-Kentucky guard, playing for Ab Kirwan. His mates call him "Greek." Vires was playing fine football last fall when he suffered a leg injury in the Georgia Tech game that kept him on the bench for the remainder of the season. He recovered and, during spring practice, made it plain that he will be a regular this fall. A senior in the College of Arts and Sciences, he is a physical education major. JOHN ROBERT EIBNEH, "Big Johnf has what it takes for the job. Fairly fast for a big man (he weighs 225 pounds), Eibner is a vicious tackler and smashing blocker. He was handicapped by a leg injury suffered early last fall in the Xavier game but has recovered. He was captain of his high school team at Jeanette, Penn., and made the all—State football team. He is a junior in the College of Arts and Sciences. If he isn't a regular tackle this fall all signs will have failed. LUKE LINDEN, weighing 225 pounds and built like a locomotive, Linden came to the University from the coal mining community of Blue Diamond, in the Kentucky Mountains. He had never played football before en- rolling at the University and vows that he never had on a pair of shoes until he came to Lexington. Winner of a letter in football two years ago, Linden was considered a sure shot for a regular berth last fall when he was suspended from the squad. As hard and tough as they come, Luke takes full advantage of his powerful build and strength. Fast enough, he is a power both on offense and defense and is an ideal tackle. He is a senior in the College of Arts and Sciences. ' ‘ f p . .l. » . - . . E ` I A · 1 ) Y l ` ` r ~ 12. A WILLIAM ED McCUBBIN, Kentucky’s prime candidate for all conference honors this fall, has the speed, ability and physical make-up that make him ideally qualified for his job of end. When he played foot- ball for Coach Kirwan at Louisville Manual he was almost overlooked because of his small size. But McCubbin has developed into a l90— pounder with a world of speed and power. One of the best pass re- A ceivers in Wildcat football history, this lad also is a deadly blocker who loves contact. He has been a regular end for two seasons. He is a senior in the College of Arts and Sciences. JAMES HARDIN, native of New Albany, Ind., just across the Ohio River from Louisville, is the most promising junior end to play for Ken- tucky in years. He is one of the swiftest runners on the squad and, as a member of the track team, consistently ran the lOO—yard-dash in lO seconds. He was captain of his high school football team and made the all-Indiana team. A serious student, Hardin is a junior in the College of Commerce. WILCE CARNES is almost a native Kentuckian, hailing from Cincinnati, Ohio, "one minute from Govington", where he was one of the most popular athletes ever graduated from Withrow High. While a student there he was captain of his high school football team two years and also captained the baseball and basketball teams. As a Wildcat he has been a regular fullback two years and played second base on the baseball team. Carnes packs lots of speed, is a hard-running ball carrier, good pass receiver and a fine defensive player. He is a'. senior in the College of Arts and Sciences. CARL COMES, a versatile, fleet-footed athlete, won his spurs as a Wildcat halfback last fall as a sophomore although handicapped by an early—season injury. An elusive runner, he is able to get off to an ‘ I • · · . I ` I ' ' l _ ` ’ - * 15. amazingly fast start. Also he is a good passer and pass receiver. He plays the safety position on defense and is a fine punt returner. At Hazard High School he was captain of his basketball team and made the all—State basketball team as a guard. His nickname is "Hoot". DAVID ZOELLER, a sophomore sensation halfback last fall, is a ‘member of a famous family of athletes from New Albany, Ind. He is a rugged line—plunger as well as a speedy open-field runner as Alabama players can testify. Against the Crimson Tide last fall he broke away for a touchdown run of nearly 75 yards. His spectacular passing and ball carrying featured the Kentucky—Georgia Tech thriller last fall at Atlanta. He is a member of the track team, specializing in the Javelin throw. He is a junior in the Golleie of Arts and Sciences. NOAH MULLIN, sophomore from Versailles, was the most talked of member of last year's fine freshman team..Playing fullback, he scored touchdowns on all the Kitten opponents, most of them on long runs. With a playing style much like that of "Shipwreck" Kelly, who was probably Kentucky’s most famous halfback, this sophomore can outrun a jackrabbit. He does the century consistently in :9.9. Although rated third in the list of fullbacks, he is certain to play plenty of football this fall. ERMAL ALLEN, a mite of a lad but a broth of a boy, came to Kentucky last fall as a freshman. He didn't attract a lot of attention until spring practice when he blossomed into one of the sweetest forward passers ever to wear a Wildcat uniform. Not only that, but he demonstrated that he is a fine punter and can really go places carrying the ball. He also was a star on the freshman basketball I V 1 ( 14. team.

He is a half-brother of the famous "Shipwreck" Kelly, Wildcat half- back who burned up Southern gridirons a decade ago, who later starred in professional football and who now is part owner of the Brooklyn Dodgers football team. Of the 54 candidates on the University of Kentucky football squad this year, 22 served as captains of their high school football teams and fifteen were named on all- State teams while in high school. The former captains_are Charles Ishmael, Pikeville; Bernard Johnson, Lexington; Lloyd Ramsey, Somerset; Tom Zinn, Burnsville, W. Va.; Alex Zechella, Newport; Bill Goatley, Springfield; Charles Martin, Harlan; Carl Combs, Hazard; Bill Black, Paducah; Wilce Carnes, Cincinnati, Ohio; Tom Spickard, Princeton; John Eibner, Jeanette, Penn.; Jim Hardin, New Albany, Ind.; Joe Shepherd, Louisville Manual; ` • O ‘ ` · - \ , ' ` ` ~ l » .

Bert Johnson, Kentucky's great halfback of 1954-35-56, has been playing professional football since he finished the sport at the University, first with the Brooklyn Dodgers, new with the Chicago Bears. Now realizing the advantage of a college degree, which he failed to win when his class was graduated, Bert came back to the University for the spring term in order to earn additional credits. He intends to keep it up until he has his sheepskin. Ralph Kercheval, one of the greatest punters ever developed in the South, who was graduated from the University of Kentucky in 1954, is dividing his time between football and the thoroughbred horse breeding industry. He plays halfback for the Brooklyn Dodgers during the football season and then manages a Woodford County horse farm during the rest of the year. ' r ` ' · I I A l 19.
