Appalachian Launches Football Season Against Newberry Sat. Appalachian launches its 1967 football season here Saturday night against a team which Coach Carl Messere figures “will give us all we can handle.” Newberry's Redskins, who pinned a 15-14 defeat on the Mountaineers in last fall's opener at Newberry, will pro vide the opposition for AS LI in the 8 p. m. contest slated at Conrad Stadium. “Newberry will have a hard nose club, “Messere pointed out. “I expect them to have a good defense, led by two veteran linebackers, Roy Har ton and Mike Collins. “And they have a fine tail back in George Taylor. . .he's one of the outstanding play ers in the conference,” Messere added. The ASU coach said he has been pleased by the outcomes of several recent positions Ky. Chicken Is Second In U. S. In Food Service Kentucky Fried Chicken Cor poration with 1 retail outlet in the Boone area, has moved up to second rank among all com mercial food service operations in the United States, according to the annual listing of the top 400 organizations by Institutions Magazine. The Nashville-based company advanced from sixth place among commercial establish ments in last year’s survey, and was listed as the fastest growing organization in the study. The magazine quoted total annual volume for the KFC organization at $288 million, up $101 million from the prev ious year. It also noted that KFC had 1578 retail outlets at the time the study was made, compared with 1088 a year ear lier Among all food service or ganizations in the nation, which includes the military services and the U. S. Department of Agriculture School Lunch Pro gram, KFC ranked sixth this year, up from tenth last year. Howard Johnson Co. was the only commercial organization to rank ahead of Kentucky Fried Chicken in total sales volume. Kentucky Fried Chicken Cor poration is the largest market er of fried chicken in the world, with outlets in all 50 states and several foreign countries. John Y. Brown, Jr., presi dent of Kentucky Fried Chicken Corporation, said that there are now 90 company-owned re tail outlets, compared with less than 10 at the same time last year, with an additional 15 units under construction. Boone's K. F. C. outlet is lo cated at U. S. 321 South. Supply lines are bombed in North Vietnam.

It was this same group which allowed opponent pass completions which resulted in four final-minute losses a year ago. Two members of the starting offensive lineup may be unable to see action Satur day night. Both Fullback Dwight Kerr and Guard Bobby Russell have sustained injuries in pre season practice. “We expect Kerr to be ready, but we just don’t know about Russell,’* Messere. Russell is suffering from a pinched nerve in his neck. If he is not available, Jerry Hart will be his replacement.Should Kerr not be healed for the opener, freshman Bobby Billings is his likely substitute. Appalachian is1 expected to open with following lineup (weights in parentheses): OFFENSE—Bob Agle (190) and Mike Whitley (185) at the ends, Jim Corne (205)and Jerry Willis (220) at tackles, Wayne Clawson (190) and Bob Russell (185) at guards, Tommy Langley (200) at center, Pat Murphy (180) at quarterback, Don Fer rell (175)atflankerback, Dwight Kerr (185) at fullback, and Jack Roten (180) at tailback. DEFENSE—Gwyn Brooks (200) and Terry Schroeder (190) at ends, Joe Stalls (200)and Jack Underwood (210) at tackles, Bill Manner (175) and Jim Barnes (180) at guards, Jim Clements (200) and Mark Gilleland (215) at linebackers, and Mike Ham lett (170), Ron Byerly (160) and David Richardson (190) at the deep back positions. Of these 22 starters, 19 are lettermen and two others have gained experience. Whitley is the lone freshman. Gilleland saw action in several contests last fall, which Schroeder is a jun ior college transfer student. Newberry's offensive unit will contain right lettermen in cluding an all-veteran backfield of Ray Hessee, Ozzie Witt, Don Burton and Taylor. The Red skins' defensive team also will contain eight lettermen. Two freshmen are slated to start on both offense and defense for Newberry. Taylor, a junior tailback, was the Carolina Conference's second-leading ground gainer a year ago when he gained 823 yards in 196 rushing attempts and scored nine touchdowns. His yardage total set an all time Newberry record and earned him a spot on the All Conference team. The biggest problem for Coach Harvey Kirkland, en 1 tering his 16th season as grid chief of the Redskins, will be one of a lack of depth. Dennis Swygert, the team's leading pass receiver with 14 catches in 1966, has graduated along with Benji Kirkland who last season completed 34 passes for 438 yards. Newberry's punting will be handled by end Bob Hazel who averaged 41.2 yards per kick a year ago.
