– Originally built in 1924 and recentlyexpanded to accommodate 4,500 fans,Richardson Stadium is home to Davidsonfootball.– On Sept. 10, 2005, Davidson dedicatedthe most recent renovations and addi-tions to Richardson Stadium. With theaddition of the Wilson Terrace, Ernie DoeWeight Room, Hubbard Family LockerRoom and Don Bryant Press Box,Richardson Stadium offers a terrific venueto watch college football in its finest andpurest form. – The weight room, located beneath thenewly constructed stands, has 5,000square feet of space, and the press boxgives a terrific vantage point for themedia to watch and report on the game.– Richardson Athletic Field debuted in thefall of 1923, and it contained two footballfields, a baseball diamond and a quarter-mile cinder track. Vines were planted on awire fence that surrounded the field, andbushes were set both inside and outsidethe fence.– Henry Smith Richardson ’06 andLunsford Richardson, Jr. ’14 donated thefacility, which was named in honor of theirfather, Lunsford Richardson, Sr., Davidsonclass of 1875.– In 1924, the stadium portion of the facil-ity was built of brick and concrete con-struction, which had room for 8,000 fans.Temporary bleachers were added in the

end zones through the years to inflate thecapacity from 10,000 to 11,000.– In 1965, renovations to the stadiumincluded a dressing room for the visitingteam, fiber glass seats and a glass-enclosed press box where it remains tothis day.– A major overhaul to the facility occurredduring the summer of 1991. The field wasrenovated and expanded so soccer couldbe played in the stadium, the permanentseating capacity was reduced to 6,000 andlights were installed.– The NCAA Men’s Soccer Championshipwas hosted by Davidson at RichardsonStadium for three consecutive years (1992-94), launching the College Cup to nationalattention. In 1994, the tourney drew athen-record crowd of 23,818 people in twodays.– In the summer of 1999, the Irwin BelkTrack, featuring an eight-lane, 400 meter,polyurethane track, replaced the old cin-der track, which had been reduced to fourlanes with the expansion for soccer. Ayear and a half later, the Wildcat trackteam hosted the Davidson Relays, the firsttrack meet in Richardson Stadium inyears.– The field itself was overhauled as wellin 1999 and was renamed the Stephen B.Smith Field in honor of the trustee andformer Wildcat football standout.

Junior Chad Barnes Senior Zach Jakob Senior Beaux Jones Junior Will Nolte

It had been three long sub-par seasonswhen the Davidson College football teamsnapped the stretch and posted a 6-4 recordlast year, its first campaign above the .500mark since going 7-3 in 2002. For the seniorson the team, it was a nice sendoff, but forthe returners to the 2007 squad, it was ataste of possibility.

That sniff of winning football was whatthe Wildcats needed to work extra hard inthe spring and summer and return this fallpoised to prove that last year was not just afluke.

“Last season was a great steppingstone, but the challenges continue to bethere,” said head coach Tripp Merritt. “Youneed a little luck. You need to have the ballbounce your way and stay injury free, andwe were able to do that last year.”

Davidson had four games decided bysix points or less and was 2-2 in those con-tests. Two were decided by a single point,and one was an overtime loss. The ‘Catslearned what it takes to win close games,and Merritt believes he has started to build aprogram where the upperclassmen get amajority of the playing time while the youngguys have a chance to develop.

“The sign of a healthy program is to nothave to rely heavily on your freshmanclass,” he said. “We have that with theexception of a few areas so that gives thoseyoung athletes a chance to develop in theweight room and on the field.”

The key to the season will likely comedown to the big boys on the offensive anddefensive line. While Merritt thinks hisstarters can compete with anybody, he likesto rotate a lot of players to keep guys fresh.In order to do that, some younger, and tothis point, unproven players will have tostep up.

“We have depth at almost every posi-tion, but the play of the offensive and defen-sive line will be important to our success,”said Merritt. “Developing our younger guysup front will be a key to our season.”

The Wildcats have proven depth at anumber of positions, including wide receiverand in the defensive secondary. Throw in a

quarterback who ranked fifth in Division IFCS in passing a season ago, and the piecesare there for Davidson to take another stepforward in 2007.

“We have enough experience in otherplaces to have a chance to build on last sea-son,” said Merritt. “One thing you can besure of – we’ll play hard, we’ll play smartand we’ll play together.”

Offensive­line

The Wildcat offense was explosive in2006, averaging 29.5 points a game, and ifthey hope to experience that success this sea-son, it will start on the offensive line. Threeof the five starters return, but the newcom-ers are a pair of sophomores. Their develop-ment is paramount to Davidson’s chances.

“It’s an area of concern because welived and died with three great seniors lastseason, and they left really two key spotsthat need to be filled in center and guardpositions,” said Merritt.

Anchoring the left side will be seniortackle George Zoeckler (6-3, 260 lbs.) andsenior guard Zach Jakob (6-3, 305 lbs.).Zoeckler, a two-year starter, was named All-PFL Honorable Mention last season whileJakob played in all 10 games and made sixstarts. The other returning starter is juniorright tackle Will Nolte (6-7, 315 lbs.), whostarted nine games and played in all 10 con-tests.

A pair of sophomores will compete forplaying time at center, and Shane Purvis (6-1, 270 lbs.), who saw action in three games,enters camp first on the depth chart.Classmate Reed Ryan (6-0, 250 lbs.) willchallenge for the starting position.

Mark Iafrate (6-1, 275 lbs.), anothersophomore who played in three games as arookie, is penciled in as the starter at rightguard. Senior Nick DiLuzio (6-1, 260 lbs.)will challenge for playing time there.

“We are looking for sophomores inPurvis and Iafrate to fill those roles,” saidMerritt. “They set the tone in the spring andare set to be starters, but they have big shoesto fill. How well they develop early is reallyimportant to our success.”

Quarterback

The top priority for the offensive line will beprotecting senior Ryan Alexander, a second-team All-Pioneer Football League selection aseason ago. The Wildcats love to get the ballin the hands of their talented receivingcorps, and Alexander averaged 37.7 passattempts in 2006. If they can give him time,he has proven the ability to pick apartdefenses.

Alexander ranked sixth in the FCS intotal offense, fifth in passing and 35th inpassing efficiency. The senior set schoolrecords for total offense and passingyardage. As a second-year starter, his rolewill increase, and the coaching staff will givehim more ability to change things up at theline of scrimmage.

“Ryan is the guy who makes us go,”said Merritt. “He has matured physicallyand mentally as a player, and we’re givinghim more freedom to make changes at theline. He’s one of the sharper guys I havebeen around and very astute at seeing thebig picture both pre and post snap.”

Adding depth will be fellow seniorMatt McGreevy. He has played in 14 careergames and owns a .615 completion percent-age.

“Matt has proven to be a more thanadequate back-up,” said Merritt. “He is atremendous competitor and has accepted hisrole on this team.”

Wide­Receiver

Gone is the favorite target of Davidsonquarterbacks in 2006 and the school’s all-time leading receiver in terms of yardage,Brett Dioguardi, but a quartet of playmakersare back and ready to equal last year’s per-formance.

Leading the group are seniors RyanHubbard and Beaux Jones. Hubbard caught44 passes for 542 yards and five touchdownsin 2006, and currently ranks 10th in careerreceiving yards at Davidson. Jones, a con-verted quarterback, had 46 receptions for570 yards and five touchdowns in his firstcampaign at wide receiver.

Junior Myles Potter and sophomoreAndrew Aldrich will look to help fill thevoid left by Dioguardi. Potter has played in20 career games and caught 23 passes for257 yards, while Aldrich played in seven of10 games as a rookie.

“Here again, we lost a guy who was atremendous playmaker for us, but I like ouroverall unit of wide receivers better than lastyear,” said Merritt. “We have solid depthand the ability to make plays from top tobottom.”

Running­Backs

This is another position where the ‘Catsgraduated one of the best backs in schoolhistory but bring back a solid core that prob-ably contains more depth from top to bot-tom. Whereas Davidson’s interior runninggame was a strength in 2006, this year’steam may have more speed to turn the cor-ner and exploit the outside.

Junior Chad Barnes will be the likelystarter with sophomore Seyi Ayorinde andjunior Ryan Zirkle ready to get their share ofcarries. Barnes rushed 42 times for 209 yardslast year and has 140 carries for 672 yardsand four touchdowns during his career.Ayorinde played in two games and ran oncefor two yards as a freshman, while Zirklehas 26 carries for 60 yards in nine career con-tests.

“The tailback position is wide open, butI like that we’re bringing back more speed asa group, which gives us the ability to openthe outside run game a little more,” saidMerritt.

Sophomore Kirk Benedict is the likelystarter at fullback with senior CraigHarasimowicz ready to take some snaps.Benedict played in all 10 games and madeseven tackles on special teams, andHarasimowicz saw action in one game.

“Kirk is really developing into a greatplayer and brings some flexibility to play attailback in short-yardage situations,” saidMerritt.

Tight­ends

The ‘Cats are deep at tight end with D.J.Singleterry, Quincy Holmer and AaronCurley, who all earned letters last season,

returning.Singleterry played in all 10 games and

caught four passes for 41 yards, whileHolmer played in two contests. Curleyplayed in the season finale against Butler.

defensive­line

Just like on the other side of the ball,depth on the defensive line will be a majorkey to success on defense. Two seniors havegraduated, making for a youth movementup front.

Two-year starter Will Funderburg is theveteran of the crew as a junior. He has 76career tackles, including 9.5 for loss, in 20contests.

“It all starts in the middle with Will,said Merritt. “He is the anchor of the

defense and has established himself as oneof the better nose guards in the league withtwo great seasons.”

A pair of sophomores in Daniel Hauffeand Aaron Saltzman are slated to start at thedefensive tackle positions. Hauffe played infive games in his rookie campaign and tal-lied three tackles, while Saltzman played inthree contests. Merritt is thrilled with theirdevelopment through spring practice butknows game day can be a different animal.

“They have never been in the fire, so tospeak, and their development early is key,”he said. “They both had really, really goodsprings on the field and in the weightroom.”

A good core of veterans return at out-side linebacker for the Wildcats, and whilethe starting inside linebackers have a lot ofgame experience, Merritt is a little concernedwith depth there.

“We relied heavily on upperclassmenand have been hit hard by graduation eachof the last two years so this is one areawhere we may need some freshmen to stepup in terms of providing depth,” saidMerritt.

Senior Bud Crawford returns on theoutside and is coming off consecutive 50-tackle seasons. He has played in 28 careergames and recorded 114 tackles, 17 tacklesfor loss and 6.5 sacks.

“Bud is a three-year starter and as goodas they get in this league,” said Merritt.“He’s hard-nosed and steady, and we expectbig things from him this year.”

Senior Duane Gregg and junior KwameSom-Pimpong enter camp in a tight race forthe starting nod on the opposite side, andboth will see plenty of action there. Greggmade the move to linebacker following hissophomore campaign and had 15 tackles lastseason. Som-Pimpong has played in all 20games during his career and collected 19tackles.

Senior Chris Hampton and junior PeterBakke will be first-time starters at insidelinebacker, and coach Merritt believes theyare more than capable of being differencemakers. Hampton played in all 10 gamesand registered 18 tackles, including one forloss, while Bakke posted 35 tackles in 10contests a season ago.

Secondary

Typically, the defensive secondary hasbeen a concern for the coaching staff but thatis certainly not the case in 2007. A wealth ofexperienced veterans return for the ‘Cats,enabling them to go two-deep at each posi-tion.

Second-team All-PFL selection PatrickFitzGerald returns at one corner position.The senior ranked third in the league withfour interceptions and now has nine for hiscareer. He has played in 29 career contestsand recorded 145 tackles to go along with

nine pass break-ups.Junior Matt Mikrut returns at the oppo-

site corner, where he recorded 43 tackles in10 games of action last year.

Senior Zach Long returns at the freesafety position after missing almost theentire 2006 campaign. He suffered a season-ending injury on the last play of the firstquarter in the opener at VMI after tallying79 tackles, four interceptions and four passbreak-ups as a sophomore.

Junior Matt Easton and sophomoreTyler Lemons will compete for playing timeat strong safety. Easton had 57 tackles andtwo interceptions in 10 games, whileLemons was an impact player as a rookie,posting 34 tackles and two interceptions innine contests. Lemons may see time at insidelinebacker as well, depending on how thingsprogress at that position.

Seniors Corey Hutchins and Jeff Scottprovide quality depth. Hutchins played inall 10 games and made four tackles, whileScott had 22 tackles in seven contests.

Special­Teams

A pair of first-team All-PFL selectionsgraduated, leaving the place-kicking andpunting duties wide open.

One returner, who may kick off, placekick and punt, is senior Corey Elder. He hasattempted one career field goal, a 24-yarder,which he made as a sophomore. Most ofElder’s experience has come on kickoffs,where he has a 46.7 career average in 63attempts.

“Special teams are certainly a big ques-tion mark right now,” said Merritt. “Cody ismore than capable and has worked hard toimprove.”

Another option for the punting duties isKirk Konert, a junior who averaged 37.8yards a punt in 41 attempts as a freshman.Konert also returns as the Wildcats’ primarykickoff return specialist, where he set aschool record with 616 yards last year.

Hubbard, who averaged 7.4 yards inseven returns last year, and FitzGerald willreturn punts.

“Patrick is very good on punt return,and we feel good about freshmen being able

to help out in various return roles,” saidMerritt.

Schedule

The schedule sets up nicely with threenon-league games to open the season, fol-lowed by an open date, and then the seven-game PFL slate. The Wildcats were pickedthird in the conference’s preseason coaches’poll, the place where they finished in 2006.

The season and home opener will beinteresting as Davidson hosts UNC-Pembroke Sept. 1, at 7 p.m. The Braves havebrought their football program back to varsi-ty status and have not played a game sincethe early 1950s.

The league also presents different chal-lenges because Drake, Jacksonville and SanDiego all have new head coaches.

“We’ve been fortunate to maintain con-sistency in our staff here, which is so impor-tant,” said Merritt. “With all the coachingchanges in the league, it’s going to be wideopen. I think San Diego is the team to beat,but the league is so tough from top to bot-tom, you know that each game is going to bea dogfight and that you are going to geteveryone’s best.”

Now in his third

season as

Davidson’s head

coach, Guy

“Tripp” Merritt is

leading the pro-

gram in the right

direction and

looking to build

on the Wildcats’

2006 success.

Davidson

posted a 6-4 mark

a season ago, its

first winning cam-

paign since 2002. The Wildcats went 5-2

to place third in the Pioneer Football

League, their best finish since winning

the Southern Conference title with a 5-1

record in 1969.

Merritt was named PFL Co-Coach of

the Year, becoming just the second

coach in school history to earn confer-

ence Coach of the Year honors.

Davidson placed six players on the all-

conference teams, and six more on the

all-academic team. Defensive lineman

Kyle Kinsell was named ESPN TheMagazine first-team Academic All-

American by CoSIDA for the second-

straight year.

In 2005, Merritt oversaw a Wildcat

squad that doubled its win total from

the year before, ending the season on a

high note with a 10-3 upset victory at

Georgetown. Six student-athletes

earned All-PFL South honors, and three

were tabbed I-AA Mid-Major All-

Americans by Don Hansen’s Football

Gazette.

The goal for Merritt is clear – return

Davidson to its winning ways preva-

lent during his stint as an assistant with

the Wildcats under Tim Landis from

1993-99. He has the vision and the

drive to make that goal a reality.

“Tripp Merritt has the qualities of a

leader we believe are important to suc-

cess at Davidson — an understanding

of and commitment to the Davidson

culture, a high level of energy and

enthusiasm, and a history of success,”

said Director of Athletics Jim Murphy.

During his first tour of duty, Merritt

served in a variety of roles, from sec-

ondary coach to linebackers coach and

defensive coordinator. His defensive

unit in 1998 ranked first nationally

among I-AA schools in pass efficiency

defense, second in scoring defense and

fourth in total defense, while the

Wildcats were 13th in rushing defense

the following season.

Merritt also served as the recruiting

coordinator in his final years at

Davidson and oversaw the influx of tal-

ent that helped the Wildcats achieve

their greatest five-year stretch in over

100 years of football. The 1998 squad

set a school record with eight victories,

which was equaled in 1999, Merritt’s

last year at Davidson.

In 2000, the ‘Cats recorded the first

and only perfect campaign with a 10-0

mark, before going 5-4 in 2001 and 7-3

in 2002.

When Landis took the head-coach-

ing job at St. Mary’s (Calif.) in 2000,

Merritt joined him as the recruiting

coordinator and linebackers coach for

two seasons, then assistant head coach

and offensive line coach.

After three years out West, the duo

moved on to Bucknell University where

Merritt served as the associate head

coach, defensive coordinator and

recruiting coordinator from 2003-04. In

his final season with the Bison, Bucknell

went 7-4 and ranked among the top 25

in FCS in scoring defense.

The 1990 graduate of Charlotte

began his coaching career as a volun-

teer assistant at Garinger High School

in 1990, then moved on to be a graduate

assistant at Western Carolina for two

years before being hired at Davidson.

At Burns High, Merritt was a three-year

letterman in both football and baseball.

Merritt, 39, and his wife, Sara, reside

in Davidson.

Brett Hayfordreturns for his 15thseason as a Wildcatcoach and 18th oncampus. This is alsohis third campaign asthe assistant headcoach, a title he earnedwhen colleague TrippMerritt was hired asthe head coach in2005. Along with theassistant head coach-ing duties, he will be

responsible for the defensive line. Hayford coached the Wildcats to the

PFL lead in sacks in 2005 with 24, and the2006 squad tied for second with 22. Hecoached the conference’s individual sackleader in 2002 and 2003 in Ryan Tennis ‘03and Darryl Childers ‘04, respectively.

Davidson led the league in sacks as ateam in 2002 as well, averaging 3.3 pergame, while no other squad had morethan 2.5 an outing.

Hayford was instrumental in the emer-gence of All-PFL South performers KyleKinsell and Will Funderburg in 2005.Kinsell, a two-time Academic All-American, had all of 12 tackles in his firsttwo seasons, while Funderburg was just arookie.

“Brett knows how to get the most outof the d-line,” said Merritt. “He has anexcellent understanding of blockingschemes and how to attack them. Havingspent his playing days on the defensiveside of the ball, he is well-suited to workwith the linemen.”

Hayford graduated in 1993 fromDavidson, where he played two seasons asa defensive lineman and as an outfielder

for the baseballteam. AtShorecrest Prep inSt. Petersburg,Fla., his father,Phil, coached hishigh school foot-ball team.

He is marriedto the former BethSnowden, who isthe head athletictrainer at

Davidson. They livein Huntersville with their son, Thad (8).

Now in his eighthyear, Mike Clark hasbeen a constant throughthree head coaches sincethe turn of the century.Each of those headcoaches have discoveredhis value as an offensivecoordinator and offen-sive line coach.

Clark’s influencewas particularly notice-able last year asDavidson ranked sev-enth in Division I FCS in

passing, 13th in total offense and 15th inscoring offense. School single-season recordswere set for individual passing and totaloffense by starting quarterback RyanAlexander.

Those marks were an improvementfrom 2005, when the Wildcat offensive linewas fourth in the league in fewest sacksallowed, which helped Alexander throw fornearly 2,000 yards. In addition, Clark men-tored All-PFL South center Mike Iafrate, whoearned the honor again in 2006.

Through his seven seasons running theoffense, the Wildcats have averaged nearly25 points a game. In 2002, Davidson scoreda whopping 32 points per contest to rank14th among I-AA schools as the ’Cats went7-3. It marked just the second time inDavidson’s long history of football that theteam topped 30 points per game.

“Mike has a good feel for how to keepdefenses off-balance and is committed to abalanced attack,” noted Merritt. “He is alsoan excellent teacher of technique and funda-mentals on the offensive line.”

Clark graduated from LycomingCollege in Williamsport, Pa., in 1993 with adegree in business administration. Heearned a master’s degree at Rowan Collegewhile working therefor two years as anassistant coach.After spending twoseasons at Princetonwith former Wildcathead coach JoeSusan, he went backto his alma mater asthe offensive linecoach, helping theWarriors reach theNCAA playoffs.

Mike and hiswife, Danielle, livein Mooresville withtheir daughters, Allison (5) and Emily (fourmonths), and son, Brendan (2).

In addition toall those pickoffs in 2005, Davidson wasamong the top-15 nationally in turnoversgained and turnover margin.

“Meade really knows his stuff when itcomes to a defensive game plan,” Merrittsaid. “He preaches an opportunisticapproach and does a tremendous job of put-ting the players in position to succeed. Hiswork with the secondary is a boost to thisteam as he has shown with all those inter-ceptions over the last few seasons.”

Clendaniel graduated from WestChester University in 1997 with a degree inbiology and spent his senior year as a stu-dent assistant coach for the football squad.He also was a fullback for West Chester forthree seasons.

The 2007 season marks the 15th yearfor the Pioneer Football League, whichreturns to a non-divisional format for thefirst time since the 2000 season, the year

before Davidsonjoined the league.

After five sea-sons playing aNorth-South divi-sional format, theleague saw its num-bers reduced to eightafter the 2005 sea-son, and thoseremaining members

voted to adopt afull-round-robinscheduling formatfor 2006. Additionally, the PFL championwill participate in the Gridiron Classicversus the champion of the NEC.

The PFL, a non-scholarship NCAA FCSfootball conference, is one of only threeconferences that sponsor football as itsonly sport. However, the PFL is a trulynational conference with members on eachcoast and throughout the nation’s heart-land — Butler, Dayton, Drake,Jacksonville, Morehead State, San Diegoand Valparaiso.

Athletics at Davidson College repre-sent one aspect of a vigorous, vibrant lib-eral arts education, designed for highly-motivated and qualified students. ManyDavidson students are scholar-athletes,long a tradition at this college. Nearlyone-quarter of Davidson’s 1,700 studentsare Division I athletes, and most othersare involved in intramural sports. Thisinterest in physical as well as mental dis-cipline is an index of the energy andexcellence that characterizes DavidsonCollege.

The college’s abiding goal is expressedin its statement of purpose: “The primarypurpose of Davidson College is to assiststudents in developing humane instinctsand disciplined and creative minds for

lives of leadership andservice.” Students movethrough a traditional liber-al arts program that hasbeen responsive to changewith additions to the cur-riculum of programs suchas medical humanities andgender studies, amongothers.

Davidson has a tradi-tion of educating leadersand training creativeminds to think critically.Students learn alongsideone another from a superbfaculty of teacher-scholars,

whose first priority is theclassroom. Here they receive a

sound liberal arts background as prepa-ration for careers in healthcare, the law,banking, management, politics, govern-ment service, the ministry, teaching,social science and the arts. Within fiveyears of graduation, the majority ofDavidson alumni have returned toschool for postgraduate study.

Community is key to the Davidsonexperience, and the remarkable and con-sistent success of Davidson alumni maybe rooted in the reverence for values andcommitment to service that permeate thecampus ethic. One way Davidson pro-motes such ideals is through its honorsystem, one of the most distinctiveaspects of campus life. The benefits ofthe trust instilled by the Honor Code aremany: exams are self-scheduled; testsand reviews are unproctored; the libraryoperates without a security check; andthe student Honor Council arbitratesalleged Honor Code offenses.

More than one-quarter of allDavidson students study for a term or a

On March 29, 2007, Thomas W. Ross ’72 was announced asDavidson College’s 17th president. He succeeded Robert F. Vagt ’69,Davidson’s president for the previous 10 years.

Ross’ roots go deep at Davidson. His late father, Charles B. Ross Jr.,graduated in the class of 1937. His son, Thomas Ross Jr., was in the

class of 1999, and his daughter, Mary Kathryn Ross, was in the class of2001.

Ross graduated from Davidson in 1972, then received a law degreefrom the University of North Carolina School of Law, with honors, and served as an Assistant Professor of PublicLaw and Government for a year at UNC’s Institute of Government in Chapel Hill.

In 1976 he joined the Greensboro law firm of Smith, Patterson, Follin, Curtis, James and Harkavy, where hepracticed law until 1982. Ross was then appointed as chief of staff for U.S. Congressman Robin Britt in Washington,D.C. In January 1984 Gov. Jim Hunt appointed him as a judge on the state superior court, where he served until 2000.

Ross jokingly told a reporter early in his judicial career that only two jobs could attract him to leave the bench—commissioner ofMajor League Baseball or executive director of the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation. He never got the bullpen call from baseball, butwas asked in 2000 to succeed the Reynolds Foundation’s retiring director of twenty-two years, Thomas W. Lambeth, which he didsuccessfully for the past six years. The foundations mission was “to improve the quality of life of the people of North Carolina.”

Ross has received numerous awards for his leadership and accomplishments, including the William H. Rehnquist Award in 2000from the National Center for State Courts for Judicial Excellence, which goes to just one state court judge nationwide each year. In1995 he was presented with one of nine national awards from the Foundation for the Improvement of Justice, and in 1994 wasnamed as one of 10 national public officials of the year be Governing.

His wife of 35 years, Susan Donaldson Ross, attended Wake Forest University and graduated from UNC Chapel Hill with adegree in education.

mater to leadthe Wildcats onthe eve of their100th anniver-sary of intercol-legiate athleticsand into thenext century.Prior to hisappointment atDavidson,Murphy, 50,spent 10 years asexecutive associ-ate athleticdirector andchief financialofficer for theGeorgia Tech

Athletic Association.Murphy, an Atlanta native, played foot-

ball and baseball during his freshman yearat Davidson. His experience has beeninvaluable as Murphy guides a programwhich is unique in its desire for excellencein both athletics and academics and has oneof the smallest enrollments among NCAADivision I schools. Reflecting his support ofacademics, Davidson's NCAA graduationrate of 91 percent was the highest inDivision I in 2001-02, second in 2002-03with a rate of 97 percent and continuesabove 90 percent each year. “I firmly believeDavidson represents the ideal in college ath-

letics and think the success of Davidson'sstudents, both in competition and aftergraduation proves that.

“It's true that Davidson needs intercolle-giate athletics, but intercollegiate athleticsneed Davidson even more.”

Since Murphy's return to Davidson, theWildcats have pursued several major capi-tal projects, including the creation of thehighly-innovative $10 million DavidsonScholars Program, and major improve-ments have been completed in Belk Arenaand at Smith Field/Richardson Stadium.The last three years have seen the construc-tion of the Belk Artificial Surface Field forfield hockey, the new Alumni Stadium forsoccer, Wilson Baseball Park and the foot-ball stadium expansion project including astate-of-the-art weight room, a new pressbox and additional permanent seating.

Murphy, the 2004 NACDA Division I-AA/I-AAA Southeast Region AthleticDirector of the Year, is currently serving asecond term on the prestigious NCAADivision I Management Council, a policy-making body within the NCAA gover-nance structure. He chaired the Division I-AA Governance Committee and formerlyserved on the NCAA Division I Businessand Finance Cabinet, the Division IGovernance Committee and the Division IFinance Committee. From 2002 to 2004,Murphy chaired the Athletic DirectorsAssociation of the Southern Conference.He was part of Charlotte's successful bid tohost the NCAA Division I Men's SoccerChampionships in 1999 and 2000 and alsoserved as Tournament Director of the First-and Second-Round games of the 2005

NCAA Men's Basketball Championship inCharlotte. Murphy is a past member of theDivision I Football Issues Committee andserves as President of the FootballChampionship Subdivision AthleticDirectors Association. He was also a mem-ber of the NCAA Task Force on Recruiting,an 18-member panel charged with chang-ing the culture of recruiting in intercolle-giate athletics.

Murphy, a Certified Public Accountantand 1978 graduate of Davidson with adegree in economics, earned a Master ofScience degree in management fromGeorgia Tech in 1979. He worked from1979-85 as an audit manager with theinternational public accounting firm ofKPMG Peat Marwick in Atlanta withresponsibility for financial statement auditsof public and private companies with upto $1 billion in assets.

Murphy has been active in the commu-nity since his return to Davidson.

The­hISTORY­OF­The­WIldcATOn November 10, 1917, a small cohort

of 22 football players traveled to Atlantato represent Davidson College againstone of the most formidable teams in theSouth — Auburn. Auburn’s Plainsmenhad massacred their first four opponents,outscoring them by a staggering marginof 141-6. According to one account, thePlainsmen were “big, quick, and unde-feated,” and heavily favored (to grosslyunderstate) in the day’s matchup withDavidson. Davidson, by the way, was 2-4on the season, and started a line averag-ing 20 pounds less than Auburn’s play-ers.

Not surprisingly, Auburn dominatedthe game on the turf, outgaining the “Redand Black” with 240 yards to Davidson’s91 yards. Astoundingly, Davidson pulledtogether an amazing offensive attackthrough the efforts of A.R. “Buck”Flowers, executing some truly impressiveend runs, and quarterback Henry Spann,delivering a “bewildering array of for-

ward passes.” Davidson defeated one ofthe most powerful teams in the South thatday with absolute finesse and scrappi-ness, 21-7.

That scrappiness captured the awe andrespect of Atlanta sportswriters, whowrote of the “Wildcats” from DavidsonCollege, whose small stature and fero-cious style proved overwhelming for theAuburn camp. An account of the gamenotes that Morgan Blake of the AtlantaJournal remarked of the Davidson teamthat “no other team ever put together inthese United States of the same weight asCoach Fetzer’s team could ever get theverdict over the flock of wild men fromNorth Carolina.”

Apparently, The Davidsonian picked upon the nickname and it has been so eversince, replacing such milder references as“Red and Black,” “Presbyterians” and“Preachers.”

— revised and rewritten from an account in the Davidson College archives

With a student population of 1,700 whohave an average SAT score over 1300,Davidson College is known for academicexcellence. And with nearly one-fourth ofthe student population participating on avarsity athletic squad, Davidson student-athletes must strive for achievement bothon the field and in the classroom.

Brenna Burns '08 and Kyle Kinsell '08make the balance look effortless, whileexcelling at both.

Burns, a psychology major and crosscountry and track standout, holds fiveDavidson records and maintains a 3.98GPA. The two-time All-SouthernConference cross country runner ran a

school-record 5K time of 17:39.33 and fin-ished in third at the 2006 league champi-onships, a year after pacing the 'Cats to the2005 conference crown. A model of consis-tency, the team captain owns three of theschool's all-time top-five 5K times.

Also an All-SoCon track and field run-ner, Burns set four school track records in2007 and was named Southern ConferenceWomen's Indoor Track Performer of theYear after winning first indoor league titlein the 3,000 meters.

Burns' success, however, is not limitedto the lanes. A mainstay on the SoCon All-Academic team, she nabbed TIAA-CrefSoCon Student-Athlete of the Week honorsand SoCon Runner of the Week honorstwice in 2007.

Likewise, Kinsell experienced successon both the gridiron and in the classroom,graduating with a 3.85 GPA.

The first Wildcat football player to benamed to the Academic All-America FirstTeam twice, Kinsell was one of the PioneerLeague's premier defenders, leading alllineman in tackles while ranking amongthe top five in sacks per game as a junior.That season, he was named All-PFL FirstTeam, I-AA Mid-Major All-AmericaHonorable Mention, Academic All-PFLFirst Team and Academic All-American.
