At the end of a week, the coaching staff is expressing optimism. With eight seniors setting a torrid pace and with a number of frosh and last year's reserves showing promise, the squad hopes to better last year's 4-4 record. Candidates for guard and center form a strong nucleus for both offense and defense. One or more of the 5 able contenders for the center slot may be moved to other positions to utilize their ability and strengthen other spots. Bob Christina, who seems headed for the best year in his career and a top rating in the conference, is being challenged by Larry Tironi and Joe Casarella. Lou Ciocca and Neil Mercando have too much fight and experience to be sidelined as reserves. Six guards provide the Huskies with what seems to be their strongest array of talent. Trevor Carpenter, John Sills, and Gary Stackhouse are veterans of 2 or 3 years. Jack Rankin, Carl Sheran, and Jack Currie have earned the plaudits of the staff during drills. Although there is a lack of depth at tackle, the trio of Don Denick, Ed Cawley, and Gary Barnaba have used their weight, strength, and experience to form a good nucleus. Freshmen Gary McManimen and George Cunningham have joined Dick Davala, Art Tinner, Lee Fredericks, and Jeff Ward at end to strengthen what proved to be a weak point last year. Dick Rohrer, senior quarterback, holds the key to a large measure of the success of the Huskies in 1962. Ken Robbins, another senior, will spell Rohrer and also direct the defense. Sophomore Bob Kurzinski has shown promise as a good passer, runner, and field general. There are able and tested runners and pass receivers in the backfield, including Moses Scott, Roy Peffer, Stan Beiter, Rich Boerner, Gary Sprout, Rocco Forte, and Tom Switzer. Scott can go all the way at any time on either pass or running plays. The schedule is tough West Chester, East Stroudsburg, Lock Haven, Mansfield, King's College - to name a few, but the entire squad is anxious to prove that the Huskies have a winning team. THE COACHING STAFF WALTER R. BLAIR, HEAD COACH Walt Blair will direct the Husky grid machine for the sixth year after serving two years as assistant coach at Bloomsburg. Blair was an outstanding athlete at Northeast High School in Philadelphia, lettering in football, baseball, and basketball. Military service in the Army during World War II ended a brief stay at Temple University. While in the Service, Blair played football with the Eighth Armored Division and Camp Polk Teams. In Sep tember, 1946, he entered West Chester S. C. to begin an outstanding career in college competition under Coach Glenn Killinger. It was during this period that the Rams became one of the nation's small college gridiron powers. Blair played in three post-season bowl games, seeing service in both the line and backfield. An able and enthusiastic competitor, Blair used his know-how to good advantage while coaching at N eshaminy, Jenkintown, and Chambersburg High Schools. His teams rolled up 30 victories, 13 losses, and I tie. In the Fall of 1955, Coach Blair received a call to come to Bloomsburg as Assistant Coach. Jack Yohe, then head man of the Huskies, had observed Blair's prowess firsthand when Yoht; served as backfield coach at West Chester under Killinger. Blair's record as head coach since 1957 is 20-17-2. ***** 1962 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE Date Opponent Place Time *Sept. 22 Lock Haven S.C. H 2:00 p.m. *Sept. 29 Mansfield S.C.
