The members are varied in their backgrounds, and their many years of experience su])port their capabilities. At the head of the department and also heat! football coach for his fifth year is Milt Drewer, a 1949 graduate of Randolph- Macon College. After starring for the Yellow Jackets at fullback, Drewer coached at three Virginia high schools before moving to the University of Richmond as an assistant coach. In Maj ' , 1957, Drewer moved to the Reservation where his first team upset North Carolina State who at the time was ranked tenth in the nation. Assisting Drewer this past fall was Ed Derringe (Georgetown, ' 42); Lou Holtz (Kent State ' 59), who also doubles as golf coach; and Larry Peccatiello (William and Mary ' 58), head freshman football coach. The football staff will miss two other assistants, Dave Nusz, who also was the tennis coach; and Dante Defalco, who moved on to similar positions at Detroit and Richmond Uni- versities respectively. At the helm of the Indians basketball team is Bill Chambers, a former Helms All-Americaii basketball player at William and Mary in 1951-52.
