1972 Season is Disappointing for Eagles The 1972 football season for the Eastern Eagles was a disappointing one. Several factors helped con- tribute to the Eagles' failure to equal last yearis record. ' Inexperience was one of the problems that faced the Mean Green. The small number of returning let- termen forced many players to play both offense and defense. Injuries to key players was another problem that plagued the team. Donald Hoover broke his wrist in pre-season prac- tice and missed the first few games. After returning for four games, he broke his leg and spent the rest of the season on crutches. Alan Wilson was out six weeks with a broken arm while Keith Bowlandis broken ankle kept him out of play for six games. Other players hampered by injuries included Rod Gordon, Perry Foust, and Kenny Cook. In reviewing the football year, it must be remem- bered that this was a rebuilding year for the Eagles. 1972 was not good in terms of wins, but the players showed the desire, dedication, and pride that it takes to be an Eagle.
