Sproule, a native of Lansford, Pennsylvania, was named acting head coach for the 1971-72 academic year during the latter part of June. He played his college football with the 1959 and 1960 Syracuse University teams that played in theOrange Bowl and Cotton Bowl respectively. His Master of Science degree in physical education was received teams that played in the Orange Bowl and Cotton Bowl respectively. His Master of Science degree in physical education was received at Brooklyn College, Brooklyn, N .Y. Prior to coming to Bloomsburg he was a member of the faculty at the school district of Waterville, N. Y ., where he was head football coach, as well as track and baseball coach, and a teacher of physical education and driver education. Following his graduation from Syracuse, he served for a year with the U.S. Army and while stationed at Fort Dix, was game captain and Director of the Post Football Clinic. ACTING CHAIRMAN OF THE DEPARTMENT OF HEAL TH, PHYSICAL EDUCATION, AND ATHLETICS DR. STEPHEN N. BRESETT, Associate Professor of Health and Physical Education, was appointed Acting Chairman of the Department of Health, Physical Education, and Athletics at BSC in early September. As Acting Chairman, Dr. Bresett is responsible for the administration and supervision of the total Physical Education and Athletic program at the College, including varsity athletics, and will function until such time as the official campus Search and Screening Committee recommends to appropriate officials candidates for permanent appointment. A member of the faculty since 1969, Bresett received his bachelor's degree and doctorate from Springfield College in Massachusetts, an institution well-known for its programs in athletics and physical education. He received his master's degree from Rutgers University in New Jersey. Bresett's previous teaching and coaching experiences include positions as Supervisor of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation for the Ridgewood Public Schools in New Jersey; Physical Education Instructor, Assistant Freshman Football Coach, and Head Freshman Baseball Coach at Springfield College, and Director of Athletics, Head Baseball and Football Coach at South Brunswick High School, Monmouth, N. J. He has also served as President of the New Jersey Athletic Directors Association. Season's Outlook Bill Sproule, in his initial year at the helm of the Huskies, has had to find a number of key replacements on both the offensive and defensive units for players lost through graduation. Last year the Huskies posted a 5-3 record under coach Jerry Denstorff. Following an analyzation of spring and preseason sessions, Sproule stated, "The strong point of our team is the running game." Backing up this statement is 6'2", 230 lb. senior tailback Bob Warner, who received a number of honors in 1970 for totalling 801 yards inl59 rushes for an average of 5.3 yards per carry and 7 touchdowns. He also caught 11 passes for another 161 yards. Major renovations have been necessary for Sproule on defense and at the quarterback slot. Last year's leading linebacker Ken Klock is back in that position with Dan Greenland replacing John Cox as the other linebacker; the latter has been moved to middle guard. Tom Baltuskonis returns at defensive end with either Dave Pruett or Dan Collins, both sophomores, at the other terminal. Filling out the defensive line at tackles should be lettermen Henry Johns and Glen DeWire. Galen Troup is the only starter returning in the defensive backfield. Punter Dan Stellfox and Bill Tierney appear to be the twin safeties. Working opposite Troup at halfback will be Steve Shiffert. 6'0" 190 lb. Bob Beiter has the inside track at quarterback. The number one backup signal caller should be Joe Geiger with Jim Hipple and Jim Henning in reserve. ·Operating in the backfield with Beiter and Warner are George Gruber at fullback and fleetfooted Len House at flanker. Tackle Rich Walton is the mainstay returning from last year's ·offensive line with Rick Pierson at the other tackle. Chris Sweet, who wasn't eligible last year, has good promise at tight end along with veteran Jeff White. Joe Courter will probably be at split end. The balance of the offensive line will be Larry Donovan and John Carroll at guards and Gerry Whitcoski at center. Junior Neil Oberholtzer, who is perhaps the best place kicker in Husky history, will be available for point after TD and field goal kicking. Oberholtzer, coupled with Stellfox, should give Bloomsburg the best 1-2 kicking combination in the Pennsylvania Conference. Of the 22 players designated for the two starting units, 4 are seniors, 12 are juniors, and 6 are sophomores. Since only half are lettermen, early games are vital to Sproule and his staff in evaluating future starting units and depth of positions. VARSITY FOOTBALL ROSTE R High School Pos. Class Age Ht. Wt.

These have been the best CC records in the history of the college. Coach Noble indicates his top two runners of the past two seasons, Tim Waechter and Terry Lee, should continue to pace the Huskies. Strong support is expected from Paul Pellitier and Larry Horwitz, as well as Mike Hipple and Charles Graham. Freshman Don Nauss and Bob Faux may work their way into top positions. The only runner lost from last year's team is Dave Kelter, who graduated. In addition to Pellitier, other seniors on this year's squad are Rod Dewing and Larry Strohl, last year's captain. Although it will be difficult to improve on the records of the past two years, Noble is hoping to at least equal the performances. The strongest competition is expected to be provided by Millersville, the only team to defeat BSC last year. Other top competitio; will come from Lock Haven, Bucknell, and Susquehanna. HEAD COACH r. '9 DR. CLYDE NOBLE took over the helm of tt,e BSC cross country team just prior to the start of the 1968 season and posted a 3-5 record. For the past two years, his teams have established the best cross country records in the history of the college (11-1 and 10-1). A native of Rockford, Illinois, Noble received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Grinnell College, Grinnell, Iowa, and his Doctor of Philosophy degree from the University of Hawaii. He has taken additional graduate studies at Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh. In high school Noble earned four letters in track, three in basketball, and two in football. He was also a member of the track team at Grinnell College. Noble's interest in all sports and .his knowledge of running provides the Huskies with a definite asset to make it the third winning season in a row.
