MEMPHIS SOCCER PLAYERS TAKE PART IN YOUTH CLINIC

During the off-season, both the men's and women's soc-cer teams conduct numerous clinics for Memphis areayouth soccer programs.

The camp was broken down into several stations includ-ing ball control, passing and shooting. The CSA play-ers, as well as some of the coaches, participated in theinstructional drills.

Campers from ages 5-14 came out to learn the game andhave fun.

Following the clinic, the players and coaches stayedaround and signed autographs for the clinic participants.The CSA players, the instructors and the parents all en-joyed the day's activities.

This past May, Coach Bartels, Coach Szabo, and theirrespective players spent a Saturday afternoon conduct-ing a camp for nearly 400 members of the ColliervilleSoccer Association. The three-hour clinic took place atthe Powell Road Soccer Complex in Collierville, Tenn.

"It's nice to give back to the soccer community throughworking with these young players, said Bartels. "Maybesomeday one of them will be a Tiger."


SEASON PREVIEWLADY TIGER SOCCER

LADY TIGER PROGRAM, SENIORS,READY FOR FOURTH SEASON ATTACK

J—/ntering just their fourth season ofNCAA Division I competition, the Lady Ti-ger soccer team has become one of the pre-mier collegiate programs in the Mid-South.While their first three seasons have beenimpressive, there is a feeling in the LadyTiger camp that the 1998 team may go evenfarther.

One of the reasons for the excitementis the presence of the six seniors, five ofwhich have played for the Lady Tigers sincethe team's inaugural season. Jodi Fisher,Christy Caswell, Jennifer Vossen,Frances Currin, LaVonne Hill, andLindley Harrison have been the backboneof the program that has reached new heightsevery season.

Fisher and Caswell have been the topoffensive weapons for the Lady Tigers dur-ing the program's first three seasons. Fisheris Memphis' all-time leading goal-scorerand points-leader. A two-time all-Confer-ence USA selection, Fisher led the LadyTigers with nine goals last season. Caswell,meanwhile, is the Lady Tigers' all-time as-sists leader. She led the 1997 squad witheight assists and 24 points, and she earnedsecond-team all-Conference USA honorsfor the second time in her career.

Vossen has also played a major role inthe Lady Tigers' success. The Maryland

Heights, Mo., native had an outstandingsophomore year. She tallied 10 goals and28 points en route to earning second-teamall-Conference USA honors. Last season,Vossen continued her playmaker role andfinished as the team's fifth leading scorer.

Of all the seniors, Currin has undoubt-edly showed the most improvement duringthe team's first three years. The goalkeeperhas put in hours of practice to improve hergame. She has gained maturity, confidence,and has developed into one of the league'stop goaltenders. The results on the field havebeen remarkable for Currin. In 1995,Currin had a 3.52 goals against average andno shutouts. In 1997, she recorded a 1.83GAA and four shutouts.

Hill has also made significant contri-butions to the Lady Tiger program duringher career at Memphis. Her value is in herversatility: Hill has played and performedat almost every position on the field. Shealways brings a lot energy and enthusiasminto the game.

Harrison may have only played one sea-son so far at The University of Memphis,but she made an immediate impact on theLady Tigers. The Rhodes transfer scoredthe game-winning goal in Memphis' firstvictory in 1997, a 1-0 shutout over UT-Chattanooga. She is part of the senior corethat has made the women's soccer team asuccess in just three short years.

And while the team's past accomplish-ments are noteworthy, the future looks evenbrighter. Memphis returns two juniors andseven sophomores from the 1997 squad.

Perhaps the biggest reason for the ex-citement surrounding the 1998 season is theeight newcomers. They have the potentialto be the best recruiting class ever for theLady Tigers. Coaches Les Szabo and PamKalinoski placed an emphasis on local tal-ent and recruited four of the top women'ssoccer players from the Memphis area. Addto that four other oustanding recruits fromSt. Louis, Chicago, and Canada, and the LadyTigers' line-up is stacked with talent anddepth at every position.

Lady Tiger senior Lindiey Harrison made immediate

contributions after transferring to The U of M.

And the newcomers should expect tosee a lot of playing time this season.

"It will be a challenge integrating thenew players with those returning," said LadyTigers' head coach Les Szabo. "We havedepth at every position and everyone willbe competing for playing time. This willonly enhance our level of play."

Two of the newcomers in 1998 will bejoining their older sisters on the Lady Ti-gers squad. Stephanie Vossen will be play-ing with her senior sister Jennifer, andSusannah Harrison will be teamed up withher senior sister Lindley. In addition, fresh-man Jennifer Thiele will have the supportof her brother Philip, a sophomore de-fender for the Memphis men's soccer team.

This talented Lady Tigers squad will becompeting against some quality opponentsin 1998. The non-conference schedule in-cludes games against Oklahoma, Missis-sippi State, and Ole Miss. The balance ofpower in Conference USA makes everyleague game a challenge. And Memphis willget a look at two new conference opponentsin 1998, Houston and Southern Miss.

The Lady Tigers have become one themost dangerous teams in the Mid-Southafter just their first three seasons, and thisseason the expectations are even higher.The leadership and experience of the return-ing veterans combined with the talentedyoung recruits should make 1998 anotherrecord setting season for the Lady Tigers.


THE HEAD COACH LADY TIGER SOCCER

LESSZABOHEAD COACH4th Season-24-37-1Cleveland State-1979

In just three short seasons, head coachLes Szabo has built the Lady Tiger soccerprogram into a winner, and Memphis hasquickly become one of the top teams in theMid-South. Each year, Szabo has addedquality recruits to an already skilled roster,and each year the results on the field havesignificantly improved.

They battled eventual NCAATournament participant Cincinnati intoovertime, they finished among the top fourconference teams in goals, assists, andpoints, and they took the most shots of anyteam in the league.

The 1996 season was highlighted by a10-1 victory over Stephen F. Austin, a 2-1win over SEC rival Tennessee and the LadyTigers' first ever post-season win, a 5-1 tri-umph over DePaul in the Conference USATournament.

In 1995, Szabo garnered five victorieswith a brand new program. The historic firstwin came at the expense of Arkansas-LittleRock, 7-1. Memphis also defeated cross-town rival Christian Brothers, 10-2.

In his three seasons at The Universityof Memphis, Szabo has coached seven all-conference performers, four all-confer-ence freshmen and five conference Play-ers of the Week.

Szabo also stresses the importance ofacademics to his student-athletes. In thespring of 1998, 16 of the 21 women's soc-cer players posted a grade point average of3.0 or better. The team's grade point aver-age ranked second in the conference.

ASSISTANT COACHESLADY TIGER SOCCER

PAM KALINOSKIASSISTANT COACHJ_ am Kalinoski joined theMemphis women's soccer staff asone of the most decorated womenin NCAA soccer history. But theroad to the top for Kalinoski

started at the bottom - as a walk-on.The native of North Olmsted, Ohio was named a high school

ail-American her senior year in 1986. Upon graduation, Kalinoskihoped to receive a scholarship from perennial soccer powerhouseNorth Carolina. Although the scholarship offer never came,Kalinoski still chose to walk on to the Lady Tarheel squad.

Kalinoski quickly became one of the leaders on a team thatwent 89-0-5 during her playing career and won four consecutiveNCAA titles. During that time, Kalinoski made a name for herselfin the soccer community by earning a starting position in the NorthCarolina midfield and capturing Offensive Most Valuable Playerhonors at the 1991 NCAA Women's Soccer Championship Tour-nament.

As captain of the Lady Tarheels her senior season, Kalinoskiset a perfect example for players to come by finishing her cam-paign as the NCAA's career assists leader. Her record was brokentwo years later by fellow teammate Mia Hamm.

However, her name remains in the UNC record book in sev-eral categories. She is first in consecutive matches with an assist(12 matches between 10/13/91 to 11/24/91), second in careerassists with 51 and second in most assists in a season with 28 in1991. She continues to rank among the top 25 UNC career lead-ers in goals and points.

Kalinoski also led the team off the field, where she was namedto the Atlantic Coast Conference Academic Honor Roll, the UNCDean's List and the NCAA Freshman All-America team.

In her three seasons as the Lady Tiger's assistant coach,Kalinoski has played a major role in the team's success. One ofthe lessons she consistently teaches her players is to be aggres-sive on offense. In 1997, the Lady Tigers were fourth in Confer-ence USA in scoring and first in shots taken.

Kalinoski joined the U of M staff after spending three yearsworking in public relations in Sacramento, Calif. During her sparetime, Kalinoski is actively involved in coaching Memphis-areayouth teams and also provides specialized skill instruction at theannual U of M youth soccer camps which run for three weeks eachJune.

BROOKS MONAGHANASSISTANT COACH

-fter a brilliant three-year playing career at The Universityof Memphis, Brooks Monaghan begins his fourth season as an as-sistant coach for the Lady Tigers.

As the primary goalkeeper coach, Monaghan has been a vitalpart of coach Les Szabo's staff during the program's first threeseasons. Memphis' goals against average has dropped from 2.74in 1995 to 1.67 in 1997. In addition, Lady Tiger goalkeepers re-corded seven shutouts in 1997, three more than in their first twoseasons combined.

Monaghan was a three-year starter for the Tigers after trans-ferring from the University of Evansville following his freshmanseason. A former prep standout for Christian Brothers High Schoolin Memphis, Monaghan returned to his hometown and became animmediate impact on the Tiger Soccer program.

Monaghan's superb goaltending in 1992 led Memphis to aschool-best 14-3-2 record and the co-championship of the GreatMidwest Conference. Of the 14 wins the Tigers posted in 1992,11 came via a Monaghan shutout, the largest single-season total

by a Tiger goalkeeper. Monaghanfinished the 1992 season with anamazing goals against average of0.80.

In 1993, Monaghan helpedlead the Tigers to the Great Mid-west Conference Tournament crown and the team's first ever berthin the NCAA tournament.

At Christian Brothers High School, Monaghan anchored aPurple Wave squad that won two Tennessee State championships.The goalkeeper received the highest accolade for a prep playerwhen he was named a high school ail-American after his 1991 sea-son. He was also a two-time all-state performer for David DeitrichatCBHS.

Monaghan has continued to play soccer at the club and semi-professional level, most recently with the New Orleans GamblersoftheUSISL.

1998 SEASON PREVIEWTIGER SOCCER

NEW LOOK TIGERS HUNGRYFOR SUCCESS

A ans of The University of Memphismen's soccer team better have their rostersready on Opening Night (see page 23).Fourteen players will be making their de-buts in a Tiger uniform, the largest recruit-ing class ever for head coach Chris Bartels.Gone from last year's squad are seven se-niors and eight starters, accounting for two-thirds of the team's total 1997 offensive pro-duction. But Bartels has reloaded his rosterwith some talented recruits, and his majorchallenge is getting his players to gel to-gether and play as a team.

"We have a very young team this yearand a very talented team," said Bartels. "Alot of these guys have played high schoolor club soccer together so the transitionmay be a bit smoother for them. Each oneof them has come to Memphis to win andto play in the NCAA Tournament, and I thinktheir hunger were translate into a success-ful season."

Despite the numerous changes in theline-up, Bartels knows he has consistencyat the ever-important goalkeeper position.Junior Brian Covey has started everymatch in goal since his freshman season, aspan of 39 consecutive games. Last sea-son, Covey made a conference second-best99 saves in net, including a season-high 11against eighth-ranked Portland. RobbyHagemann played strong in relief of Coveylast season. The sophomore from Okla-homa City will be ready when called uponin 1998, as will Memphis product JohnStoever.

The offensive production in 1998 willneed to come from a variety of sources, butthe Tigers are looking for junior forwardSteven Brooks to continue his stellar play.Brooks was one of three Tigers to score 10goals last season, tying him for fourthamong Conference USA leaders. Also re-turning at forward is sophomore TommyWhite, who scored two game-winninggoals and recorded eight points. White'sspeed and quickness make him a dangerousoffensive threat.

Returning at midfield are two veterans,senior Matt Briggs and junior JoeyLewis. Briggs, 6-3, uses his size and ag-gressiveness to out-battle his opponent.Lewis is a sharp player who handles the ballwell under pressure. While their playingstyles are quite different, Briggs and Lewiswill both need to fill a leadership roleamong a young Tiger team.

Also returning at midfield is sopho-more Nick Glaser, a 1997 ConferenceUSA all-freshman team selection. Glaserstarted in 18 matches last season and reg-istered five goals and five assists. Bran-don Crossett, Jason Cutter, and BradMiller will all compete for playing timein the Tiger midfield.

The Tigers' defense will be anchoredby 6-1 junior Philip Thiele. TheEdmonton, Alberta, Canada, native had avery strong second half of the season lastyear, starting the final 12 matches. Alsobolstering the Tiger backfield will be jun-ior Brad Clark and sophomore Richard

Keene, who are both coming off im-pressive spring workouts.

And while these veterans will lookto carry the load, the 14 newcomerswill be asked to make an immediateimpact. Ryan Schwaigert, DavidMedlock, and Taylor Stirling areall Memphis area products who arereturning to their hometown afterplaying one year of collegiate soc-cer elsewhere. Schwaigert was afreshman starter for NCAA Tourna-ment participant and nationallyranked and Bowling Green State, and

he can play both forward and defense.Medlock helped anchor the defensive unitfor UMKC, and Stirling registered threegoals and an assist for Belhaven College.

Also joining the Tigers from the Mem-phis area are Stephen Lewis, JustinStralka, Matt Letterman, Kyle Attarianand Jacob Lindquist. Brian Scalise ofChattanooga, Tenn., Darren Bevard ofKansas City, Mo, and Todd Gingrich ofRoscoe, 111. will also be making their Tigerdebuts this year. Bartels is also bringing insome talented international recruits. LiamMcGrath, a central defender from Scot-land, and Sean Fraser and Kenny Matsubafrom Edmonton round out Bartels' largestrecruiting class to date.

Memphis once again faces a qualityline-up of opponents in 1998. The non-con-ference schedule includes games againstTJNLV, California-Santa Barbara, WesternIllinois, and crosstown rival ChristianBrothers University. The always demand-ing Conference USA schedule includes fourteams that played in the 1997 NCAA Tour-nament, including Final Four participantSaint Louis. Memphis will see only twohome matches in the month of September,but six of their final nine contests will beplayed at Echles Field.

Bartels and the Tigers have several rea-sons to be optimistic about the 1998 sea-son. A quality mix of players will join asolid nucleus of the returning veterans. Ifthe team can find the right chemistry, Mem-phis Tigers' fans can throw away their ros-ters and replace it with a copy of the NCAATournament pairings.


THE HEAD COACH TIGER SOCCER

CHRIS BARTELSHERD COACH

hen the Memphis Tigers defeated the DcPaulBlue Demons on November 4, 1997, head coachChris Bartcls attained a milestone that only a selectfew in his profession ever reach - 100 career wins.Bartels is the only current Conference USA coachwith 100 victories with his present team.

The '92 squadequaled the most wins ever by a Tiger soccer teamand set a new single-season record for highest win-ning percentage (.789).

In 1993, Bartels' third recruiting class helpedlead the Tigers to their first NCAA Tournament ap-pearance. Disappointed with the NCAA tournamentsnub in 1992 despite a 14-win season, the Tigersrallied in the Great Midwest Conference Tournamentto defeat nationally ranked Saint Louis to claim the

CMC Championship and theconference's first automaticbid to the NCAA Tournament.

Between 1993-95, theTigers put together an im-pressive streak where theywent 16-1-2 at home, includ-ing a nine-game winningstreak. In 1996, Memphisrecorded five consecutiveshutouts and allowed only 21goals against all season long.

Since Bartels arrived atThe University of Memphis in1988, he has seen major im-provements in the programand the soccer faci l i t ies .Bartels has worked with theathletic department, TigerClubs, and the Friends ofSoccer club to make majorimprovements to EchlesField, home of the Tigers. In1992, permanent seating wasincreased to a capacity of1,000 and the Tigers averaged

just under 800 fans per game.The season high was an over-flow crowd of 1,290 againstSaint Louis.

In 1991, Bartcls was voted Great MidwestConference Coach of the Year after the Tigers went4-1 and finished second overall in league play.

During his tenure at Memphis, Bartels hascoached six all-region players and 17 all-conferenceselections, including two CMC Tournament MVPs,two all-freshman honorees and a conference New-comer of the Year. Two of his goalkeepers havewon player of the week accolades. But Bartels' mostimpressive accomplishments may be in the area ofacademics.

Bartcls not only brings the best out of his ath-letes on the field, but in the classroom as well. Boththe university and the conference have recognizedhis teams for their academic achievements. The Ti-gers placed nine members on the Great MidwestConference All-Academic Team in 1993 and 11 in1992. In 1992 and 1993, The U of M recognizedBartels' Tigers as the team with the highest grade-point average. During that time, the soccer squadalso had the highest graduation rate among The Uof M athletic programs. This past spring, nine ofBartels1 athletes made the I lonor Roll.

A New Jersey native, Bartels attended RiverDell High School in Oradcll, N.J., before signing asoccer scholarship with Bowling Green State Uni-versity. As a junior at BGSU, Bartcls worked in thepublic relations department for the New York Cos-mos. After graduating in 1973 with a degree in jour-nalism and public relations, Bartels stayed at BGSUas an assistant coach until he became a player/coachfor the Athletes in Action soccer team. In 1980,Bartels returned to BGSU as an assistant coach andphysical education instructor while earning a master'sdegree in physical education.

Bartels, who has worked as general manageror coach for three professional soccer teams, ar-rived in Memphis in 1982 as an assistant coach andplayer-personnel director for the Memphis Ameri-cans of the Major Indoor Soccer League. Later, heserved as the head coach and General Manager ofthe Kalamazoo Kangaroos in the American IndoorSoccer Association.

From 1986 to 1987 Bartels was General Man-ager of the Memphis Storm.

Bartels and his wife Victoria, have three chil-dren: Teddy, 10; Ross, 8; and Thomas, 4.

1997 REVIEW TIGER SOCCER

DESPITE RECORD OFFENSIVE NUMBERSTIGERS FALL SHORT OF SEASON GOAL

Tj_ ihe Scoreboard at Echles Field was usedoften in 1997. The Tigers scored 57 goals,the largest single-season total in team his-tory. Four times the Tigers netted at leastfive goals in a game, including a record 10-goal outburst against Alabama A&M on Oct.27. Memphis' success depended on theiroffensive production as they went 9-1 whenscoring at least three goals in a game. Butdespite the onslaught on the record book,the Tigers were unable to reach their sea-son goal, a trip to the NCAA Tournament.

The Tigers began the 1997 season very im-pressively, going 4-1-1 in their first sixmatches. On Sept. 7, Memphis upset theeighth-ranked Portland Pilots 3-1 at EchlesField. It was the highest-ranked opponentthat The University of Memphis had everdefeated. On Sept. 15, Soccer News rankedthe Tigers 18th nationally, the first timeMemphis had ever cracked the nationalpolls.

The Tigers ran into some tough luck in themiddle of the season, winning only onceover a seven-game span. However, a six-game home stand at the end of the seasonsaw the Tigers go 5-1 and outscore theiropponents 28-8.

1997 HIGHLIGHTS:

• The Tigers' 57 Goals, 49 assists, and 163 points were all single-seasonrecords.

• Rogerio Lima, an all-conference and all-region performer, became theTigers single-season and career assists leader.

Memphis' 3-1 victory over #8 Portland was the highest ranked opponentthe Tigers have ever defeated.

J The Tigers were ranked nationally for the first time ever on September15th by Soccer News.

• Memphis had three 10-goal scorers for the first time in team history

• The Tigers earned their 16th consecutive winning season at home.

Rogerio Lima was the Conference USA leader in goals, assists, points, and shots during

the regular season last year.

Memphis finished the season with a 10-8-2 overall record, and 2-5-1 in ConferenceUSA. The final numbers, however, may bemore impressive than they appear. The fiveconference losses were all decided by onegoal, and three of them came in overtime.The Tigers battled four nationally ranked op-ponents and six eventual NCAA Tournamentparticipants, including Final Four participantSaint Louis. Memphis finished the season

ranked 10th in thehighly competitiveMidwest Region.

Seven seniors endedtheir col legia teplaying careers in1997, after makingenormous contribu-tions to the Tigersoccer program.After only two sea-sons with the Tigers,Rogerio Lima lefthis mark on the Tigerrecord book. He istied for the all-time

record with 22 career assists, holds thesingle-season record of 12 assists and rankssecond among single-season point leaderswith 36 in 1997. Lima is one of two play-ers in Tiger history to finish with over 20career goals and 20 career assists. He isnow playing for the Long Island Rough Rid-ers of the A-Lcaguc.

Other graduating seniors include Ramonand Rolando Aguillon, Kurt Clemence, Ja-son Dunn, Chris Morris and Jeremy Tutor.

The Tigers finished the 1997 season as theConference USA leader in goals (57) andpoints (163), ranked second in assists (49)and third in shots (299).

THE PRESIDENT ADMINISTRATION

Dr. V. LaneRawlins

PresidentBrigham Young,

1963

Since becoming president of The University

of Memphis in 1991, Dr. V. Lane Rawlins has

instituted positive changes in the areas of aca-

demics, administration and student affairs at

the University. Further, he has gained the

support of leaders from business, campus, and

community in charting The U of M's path forthe

future.

Under Dr. Rawlins' guidance, the University

has put greater emphasis on innovative under-

graduate education, on excellence in research

and graduate education, on interpersonal com-

munication and understanding, and on im-

proving the internal workings of the University.

Taskforces he appointed have created fresh

approaches to diversity, public image, plan-

ning and budgeting, research and scholarship,

enrollment management, technology, and un-

dergraduate education.

One of the most important - and certainly

the most visible - of Dr. Rawlins1 accomplish-

ments has been the $26.5 million, Ned R.

McWherter Library, which houses more than

one million bound volumes and state-of-the-

art computer facilities.

But the president's activities have not been

limited to the campus. He also represents the

University in the community, serving on a

number of boards, a few of which include the

Memphis Area Chamber of Commerce, Lead-

ership Memphis, Goals for Memphis, Mem-

phis Partners and Free the Children.

In a wider venue, he was instrumental in the

formation of Conference USA, a 12-mernber

all-sports conference, and served as chairman

of the Board of Directors in its first year. Dr.

Rawlins also serves as Conference USA's repre-

sentative on the NCAA Division I Board of

Directors.

Before comingtoMemphis, Dr. Rawlinswas

vice chancellor of Academic Affairs for the

University of Alabama system. Earlier he had

spent 17 years at Washington State University,

rising from an assistant professor of economics

to chairman of the economics department to

vice provost.

The Rigby, Idaho, native earned his Bach-

elor of Science degree in economics from

Brigham Young University in 1963 and his

doctorate in economics from the University of

California at Berkeley in 1969. He has served

in research positions with the Brookings Institu-

tion and the Woodrow Wilson School of Public

and International Affairs, and as a consultantto

the U.S. Dept. of Labor and the Carnegie

Commission on Higher Education.

Dr. Rawlins has co-authored two books

dealing with public service employment, writ-

ten portions of 10 other books, and published

a number of articles in professional journals.

He is a member of Blue Key honorary

fraternity, Omicron Delta Epsilon, Omicron

Delta Kappa, Phi Kappa Phi and the Alabama

Academy of Sciences.

Dr. Rawlins and his wife, Mary Jo, have three

children and six grandchildren.

TENNESSEE BOARDOF REGENTS

The University of Memphis is proudto be a member institution of the State Uni-versity and Community College Systemof Tennessee, which is governed by theTennessee Board of Regents. The systemincludes six universities, 10 communitycolleges and 26 area technology centers,and was established by the General As-sembly in 1972.


THE UNIVERSITYADMINISTRATION

Eighty-six years ago, The University of

Memphis began as a small state teacher'scollege. Today, The U of M is a major center

for learning and research.

The University of Memphis' roots date

back to 1912, when radio was young, mo-

tion pictures weresilentand William Howard

Taft was in the White House. Named West

Tennessee State Normal School, the

institution's main purpose was to train and

educate secondary-school teachers.

Answering the need for a comprehensive

school in the Mid-South, WTSNS expanded

its curriculum. In 1941, the school's name

changed to Memphis State College and in

1957, the college received university status

and became Memphis State University. On

July 1,1994, the name was changed to The

University of Memphis. The U of M now has

some 19,000 students and a physical plantcomprising 1,160 acres on five different

sites.

The main campus lies in the center of a

sprawling metropolis and combines the con-

venience of a large city with the atmosphere

of a residential neighborhood. South Cam-

pus, which was once a veteran's hospital, is

home to the Billy J. Murphy Sports Complex

and student family housing. Students and

faculty members can conduct environmental

research at the Edward J. Meeman Biologi-

cal Field Station, which encompasses more

than 600 acres of forest, wetlands and fields

some 25 miles from the campus.

The University is guided by the principles

of academic integrity, sound management

and equal opportunity. With instruction, ser-

vice and research as interdependent goals,

the University commits its resources to the

social, cultural and economic welfare of the

region through partnerships with public and

private organizations. The University of Mem-

phis is accredited by the Commission on

Colleges of the Southern Association of Col-

leges and Schools to award bachelor's, first

professional, master's, educational specialist's

and doctoral degrees.

The University of Memphis offers bachelor's

degrees in 54 majors and 73 concentrations;

master's degrees in 54 majors and doctoral

degrees in 18 disciplines; one specialist de-

gree and one professional degree. The Uni-

versity is composed of six colleges, the Gradu-

ate School, the Cecil C. Humphreys School

of Law, the Loewenberg School of Nursing,

and the School of Audiology and Speech-

Language Pathology. The colleges are: the

College of Arts and Sciences, the College of

Communication and Fine Arts, the Fogelman

College of Business and Economics, the Col-lege of Education, the Herff College of Engi-

neering and the University College.

Reflecting its commitment to high-quality

teaching and national prominence in re-

search, The University of Memphis has five

Centers of Excellence and 24 Chairs of Excel-

lence. The University has a full-time faculty of

over 700.

While the University's commitment to edu-

cation remains its primary focus, the campus

also offers a variety of organizations, clubs,

honor societies and special-interest and ser-

vice groups. There are many fraternities and

sororities on campus as well as a number of

other clubs. Theatrical and musical produc-

tions are performed on three stages at the

Communication and Fine Arts Building. The

University also has its own art museum.

THE UNIVERSITY OF MEMPHIS 1998 SWCCER MEDIA GUIDE

THE ATHLETIC DIRECTORADMINISTRATION

R.C.

JohnsonAthletic DirectorIowa, 1965

R.C. Johnson, who has worked for 27

years in athletic administration and served as

athletic director at Temple University, was

named the Director of Athletics at The Univer-

sity of Memphis on December 29, 1995.

"Clearly, R.C. Johnson is one of the pre-

mier athletic directors in the country," said Uni-

versity of Memphis President Dr. V. Lane Raw-

lins. "We were seeking an individual with

people skills, as well as a deep caring about

student-athletes and their futures.

"We searched long and hard for some-

one whom we felt had the talents to fit The

University of Memphis and the Memphis com-

munity, someone who was well respected in

NCAA circles. We checked every resource that

was available and feel that we could not have

found a more qualified individual with a bet-

ter record."

He initiated the start of a capital campaign

to add a new 8,000-square-foot football and

basketball office complex to the current Ath-

letic Office Building, a new basketball practice

facility that will be located adjacent to the HPER

Building on Echles Street and a complete reno-

vation of the Murphy Athletic Complex on Mem-

phis'south campus.

The eight million dollar campaign is the

largest fund raising effort in the history of Mem-

phis athletics and should bring the Tiger ath-

letic facilities on-line with Conference USA sis-

ter institutions as the school prepares to enter

the 21st century.

During the spring of 1997, Johnson ne-

gotiated the richest radio broadcast package

in Tiger athletic history with WGKX-FM 106 in

Memphis. The two-year agreement calls for KIX

to pay the University S360,000 for football and

men's basketball rights in 1997-98 and

$325,000 for the 1998-99 seasons.

In his short tenure, Johnson has created

the Athletic Director's Honor Roll, the Tiger

Clubs Board of Directors and the athletic

director's Ambassador's Club.

Johnson has conducted several meetings

with the Memphis Park Commission to add a

greater presence for the Tigers in Liberty Bowl

Memorial Stadium. Numerous signs will ap-

pear in the Liberty Bowl this fall indicating that

the stadium is the "home of the Tigers."

At Temple, Johnson was responsible for

directing a program with more than 500 stu-

dent-athletes in 20-men's and women's inter-

collegiate sports, including nationally visible

programs in men's basketball and football. He

was named Temple's director of athletics on

May 9,1994, after a national search.

The former Temple athletic director enjoys

a reputation for building private and corpo-

rate support for intercollegiate athletics and for

developing strong academic services for stu-

dent-athletes. Highlights of his tenure at Temple

include: the origination of a Student-Athlete Ad-

visory Committee; the origination of the Ath-

letic Director's Honor Roll for student-athletes;

the reorganization of the Athletic Department

infrastructure; chairing the Atlantic 10 Confer-

ence Membership Committee and represent-

ing the Big East Conference on the Gender-

Equity Task Force.

Johnson was hired at Temple after nearly

six years as director of athletics at Mi-

ami (Ohio) University. During his ten-

ure at Miami University, Johnson was

responsible for numerous programs

that enhanced the stature and image

of the Ohio institution.

A strong believer in a quality edu-

cation for student-athletes, Johnson em-

phasized academic integrity and excel-

lence during his time at Miami Univer-

sity. At the time he departed for Temple,

Miami University had 15 student-ath-

letes with a perfect 4.0 GPA, 62 stu-

dent-athletes with a 3.50 or better GPA

and 191 student-athletes with a 3.00

GPA or better.

Before becoming athletic director

at Miami University, Johnson was ath-

letic director at Eastern Illinois from

1980-88. He was the associate athletic

director at Northern Iowa from 1974 to 1980.

A former football coach himself, Johnson

served as an assistant football coach at

Mankato State University from 1968-74. He

coached at Youngstown State University dur-

ing the 1967 and '68 seasons. Prior to join-

ing the staff at Youngstown State, Johnson

served as an assistant coach at Northern Iowa

for two years (1965-67) and the University of

Iowa (1963-65).

A native of Ottawa, IL, Johnson has his

bachelor's degree in sociology from the Uni-

versity of Iowa and a master's in physical edu-

cation from the University of Northern Iowa.

He is a member of the Football Issues

Committee of the NCAA, the National Asso-

ciation of College Directors of Athletics, the

Executive Committee of the Division I-A Ath-

letic Directors Association, the C-USA Repre-

sentative on the Board of Directors of the

AFCA, and he serves on the Finance, Nomi-

nating, Planning, Football Scheduling, and Ex-

pansion & Bowl Committees for Conference

ATHLETIC FACILITIES ADMINISTRATION

The University of Memphis Ti-

ger athletic-family has many places

to call home for intercollegiate ath-

letics.

In 1970, the University of

Memphis Athletic Department of-

f ic ial ly opened the Kennedy

Sportsplex, a 140-acre complex

located just south of the main cam-

pus. The complex serves as the

homeof the Tiger football, base- j

ball, soccer and track teams and

offers workout facilities for all Uof

M sports.

Since that time, however, the |

facility has taken on a new name

and is now called the Billy J. Mur-

phy Complex. The complex was

renamed in honor of former Mem-

phis head football coach and ath-

letic director Billy J. Murphy.

The main building at Murphy

Complex features a newly reno-

vated 50-yard indoor practice field

with an artificial surface. This field

is used for workouts when the

weather prohibits outdoor prac-

tices and is also used by the base-

ball team for winter workouts. Also

housed in the main building is a

modern, well-equipped training

room, the football equipment

room, the football locker room,

sauna and steam rooms and film

and meeting rooms, as well as

locker rooms for the baseball and

track teams. Located behind the

main building are four outdoor

football fields, used for fall and

spring practices.

The new Billy J. Murphy

Weight Training facility opened in

January of 1993 and is now in use

by all University of Memphis stu-

dent-athletes. The 10,500 square-

foot facility is one of the largest of

its kind in the country and features

the latest in strength training

equipment. The weight room is

equipped with 10 self-contained

Olympic platforms and power

racks, a plyometric/medicine ball

area, a complete dumbbell line

(up to 150 Ibs in two and a half

pound increments) and a variety

of hip sleds, glute-ham stations

and other suppemental pieces al-

lowing athletes from all teams to

perform an unlimited variety of

exercises and movements. The

modern facility is also equipped

with dressing and restrooms.

All of the University of Mem-

phis' home baseball games are

Games. The track meet featured

over 700 athletes from around the

world. During the summer of

1992, U of M served as host of

the Tennessee Sports Festival which

featured athletes from around the

state. Murphy Track was also the

host site of the 1992 and 1993

Great Midwest Conference Track

and Field Championships.

Other features of Murphy

Complex include an Olympic in-

door pool and golf driving range

that is used by the Tiger golf teams.

A 5,000 square-foot Novagrass

artificial green was installed adja-

cent to the driving range in Au-

gust of 1992. The green, which

played at Nat Buring Stadium, a

1,200-seat facility adjacent to

Murphy's main building. Recently,

lights and a new enclosed press

box were added as well as new

blue chair back seats. Nat Buring

was the site of the 1993 Great Mid-

west Conference baseball tourna-

ment.

Located next to the baseball

stadium is Murphy Track, an eight-

lane, polyurethane tartan surface

track used by the University of

Memphis track teams for home

meets. During the summer of

1991, the University of Memphis

hosted the World Police and Fire

self-contained irrigation system,

allows both men's and women's

golf teams to practice their short

games.

Plans are in the initial stages

for further renovation of the golf

practice facilities at Murphy Ath-

letic Complex. Future projects in-

clude an elevated teeing area on

the south end of the driving range

to match the current tee box lo-

cated on the north end of the fa-

cility. Additionally, target greens for

chipping and putting and a new

irrigation system are also included.

CONFERENCE USAADMINISTRATION

Comprised of 14 distinguished universities in 12major television markets, the formation of ConferenceUSA was considered by many a bold move. The unionof 12 charter members was initially formed as a com-prehensive Division I-A league and quickly capital-ized on the strengths of its member institutions, build-ing a strong foundation to make its mark on intercol-legiate athletics heading into the 21st century.

Conference USA (C-USA) includes foundingmembers UAB, Cincinnati, DePaul, Houston, Louis-ville, Marquette, Memphis, UNC Charlotte, Saint Louis,South Florida, Southern Mississippi and Tulane, andfootball only members East Carolina and Army. C-USA member institutions span 13 states across theUnited States, more than any other Division I-A con-ference.

The conference officially unveiled its name, logoand commissioner on April 24,1995 at Harry Caray'sRestaurant in Chicago. Mike Slive was named thefirst commissioner of Conference USA by the presi-dents of the 12 institutions. Eleven of the institutionsbegan athletic participation in 1995, while Houstonjoined competition in the fall of 1996. ConferenceUSA added East Carolina (September, 1996) and theUnited States Military Academy (March, 1997) as foot-ball members. ECU began league competition in1997, while Army begins play this fall.

Southern Miss, co-champion in 1996,won the title outright in 1997 and defeated Pittsburghin the AXA/Equitable Liberty Bowl to finish No. 19 inthe nation. Cincinnati received an at-large bid to theHumanitarian Bowl in Boise, Idaho, where it defeatedBig West champion Utah State. The league has afive-year football television contract with Fox SportsNet, which includes a conference game of the week,along with appearances on ESPN, ESPN2, ABC andCBS. Conference USA will become a full participat-ing member of the College Football Bowl Alliancebeginning with the 1998 season. This includes guar-anteed access for the C-USA champion if that teamreceives a consensus ranking of six or higher, sub-ject to certain conditions. C-USA will also receive astipend for participation if one of its teams is not se-

lected to play in one of the Alliance bowls. Addition-ally, UAB, a charter member of C-USA, will begin com-petition on the gridiron in 1999. C-USA schools willplay six conference games through 1999.Conference USA is consistently rated as one of thetop basketball leagues in the country.

TIGER TRADITIONS ADMINISTRATION

WHYT/GEftS?When the University of Memphis first fielded

a football team in the fall of 1912, no one had se-lected a nickname for the squad.

Early references to the football team, tabbedthem only as the Blue and Gray Warriors of WestTennessee Normal School.

After the final game of the 1914 season, therewas a student parade. During this event, several Nor-mal students shouted, "We fight like Tigers." Thenickname was born.

More and more the nickname "Tigers" wasused, particularly in campus publications. But it didnot catch on with the newspapers downtown. Theycontinued to use "Normals" or the "Blue and Gray"when referring to the University.

Under coach Lester Barnard in 1922, Normal'sfootball team gave a ring of truth to that old studentyell about Tigers. The team adopted a motto - "Ev-ery Man A Tiger" and went on to score 174 pointswhile allowing their opponents just 29 points.

In the late 1920s, student publications anddowntown newspapers began referring to the foot-ball team as the "Teachers" or "Tutors". The Tigernickname would return. But not until 1939 was itfinally adopted as the official nickname for the Uni-versity of Memphis.

A BENGALFOR A MASCOT

For approximately 22 years, the sideline mas-cot for the University of Memphis athletics has beenthe Bengal Tiger. TOM II, the name of the currentmascot, puts in personal appearances at all Tiger foot-ball games, as well as numerous basketball games.TOM II has also been seen at Tiger baseball, soccerand women's basketball games.

The first tiger, purchased by the Highland Hun-dred (football booster group) in 1972, lived for 20years and was housed at the Memphis Zoo. TOMdied in February of 1992.

The story of how the first Tiger cub arrived inMemphis is quite interesting. On November 9,1972,the baby tiger was placed in a dog kennel in Michi-gan City, IN, and flown to Chicago's O'Hare Inter-national Airport. There it was placed aboard a Deltaflight and arrived in Memphis at 3:00 AM. C. Cleve-

land Drennon, an attorney and president of the High-land Hundred, approved a check for $ 1,500 to buythe animal, and TOM was taken to athletic directorBilly Murphy's office for a press conference.

In ceremonies at Liberty Bowl Memorial Sta-dium, the Highland Hundred officially presentedTOM to the University on November 11,1972.

The zookeeper, at the suggestion of his daugh-ter, called the little tiger, Shane. Once in Memphis,however, a contest was held to name the mascot.More than 2,500 entries came in to a committeechaired by Judge Harry Pierotti. The list ran fromSpook, Sampson, Goliath, Bengo, Sultan, Sahib, BigCat, Ptah, Touchdown, Sonny, and Shiloh to BengicWougie Bengal Boy from Tennessee.

Finally, the judges reduced the list to two: Shaneand TOM, for Tigers of Memphis. TOM won.

During his first few months in Memphis, BillProctor housed the tiger in his garage, which wasredecorated by the Highland Hundred. TOM wasguarded by Proctor's hound dog.

TOM II came to the University of Memphis inthe fall of 1992 and is housed at his new home atNixon Farms in Collierville, TN. His new home is3500 square feet and includes two pools, a water-fall, heated and air conditioned den box and hasseperately, a complete medical facility for his careand upkeep. The young tiger is nearly 500 poundsand is expected to be as large or larger than his pre-decessor, TOM, who was once the largest BengalTiger in captivity at 550 pounds.

SCHOOL COLORSThe University of Memphis' official school col-

ors of Royal Blue and Gray were selected in the early1900s.

The colors were chosen in an effort to showunity in a nation that was still recovering from theeffects of the Civil War. The student body thoughtthat by picking the colors of the North and the South,the school would show a togetherness among all stu-dents.

THE LOGOThe University of Memphis' official logo has

been redesigned by Craig Thompson, from DiscipleDesign in Memphis, TN.

The original logo was an MSU with a leapingtiger coining out from behind the letters. The newlogo is an "M" with a leaping tiger coming up overthe center of the "M".
