BLOOMSBURG UNIVERSITY "A Commitment to Excellence" Bloomsburg University is a multi-mission institution of higher education serving the citizens of Pennsylvania as one of the 14 Commonwealth-owned Universities. With a commitment to provide a quality, affordable education for all qualified students, Bloomsburg combines the tradition of an institution founded in 1839 with modem learning, living and recreational programs and facilities. Commonwealth funding provides 55 percent of Bloomsburg's annual operating budget. Undergraduate students may enroll in degree programs in 64 areas of study in the arts and sciences, business, teacher education, nursing and health sciences. A program in engineering is offered in conjunction with the Pennsylvania State University and preparation for post-baccalaureate study at professional schools is offered. Unique educational opportunities are available through advanced placement, study abroad, professional practicum, internships, independent study and the Center for Academic Development programs. At the graduate level, the master's degree is offered in 25 areas of study and there are ten supervisory certification programs in the field of teacher education.

His permanent appointment follows that of former President James H. McCormick, who is currently serving as the Chancellor for the State System of Higher Education, and Dr. Larry W. Jones, who served as President two years on an acting and interim basis. Prior to coming to Bloomsburg, Ausprich served Kent State University as Dean of the College of Fine and Professional Arts from 1978 to 1985. While there he was instrumental in implementing a program in fashion design and merchandising which has gained a national reputation. In addition, he served as Dean of the Blossom Festival School Program in cooperation with the Cleveland Orchestra. In previous years he served as Dean of the Faculty of Arts and later as Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, both at SUNY Buffalo. While at Buffalo he developed a proposal for a program in dance and for a series of interdisciplinary seminars in the arts. In the early 1970's he worked at the University of Northern Iowa as Dean of the College of Humanities and Fine Arts. Classroom teaching experiences and departmental chairperson responsibilities comprised his major assignments at Indiana State University and Memphis State University. In addition to these administrative responsibilities, Ausprich has had varied professional experiences while serving as a member of the Ohio Humanities Council, the National Fine Arts Commission, the City Planning Commission in Buffalo, the Board of Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, and the National Endowment of the Humanities Public Program Committee. In addition he has served as the speech editor for Holt, Rinehart and Winston, Inc., was a guest lecturer and consultant on faculty development and retraining for the Pennsylvania State Colleges, and has published and delivered papers to numerous professional speech and theatre associations. His academic background includes a Bachelor of Science Degree from New York University, College at Buffalo, the Master of Science Degree from the University of Wisconsin in theatre and broadcasting, and the Doctorate from Michigan State University in communications and theatre. ROGER SANDERS Athletic Director Roger Sanders assumed his duties as Bloomsburg's Director of Athletics in June of 1982. In addition, Sanders has served as head coach of the Huskies' highly successful Division I wrestling program for the past thirteen years compiling an enviable 151-60-3 record. During his tenure, BU has captured five Pennsylvania Conference Championships and an Eastern Wrestling League title. He has coached 36 PC champions and numerous All-Americans including five national championships. Under his direction, many new projects have developed in the Athletic Department including: the construction of nine new athletic practice fields, an addition to the Redman Stadium pressbox, obtaining automobiles from local dealers for use by athletic department personnel in recruiting and scouting trips, an "ox roast" prior to the Homecoming contest, a facelift or redecoration for the Nelson Fieldhouse main arena floor, among others. He has also spent numerous working on a program to build the general athletic scholarship fund through the Husky Club-Alumni Association to aid Bloomsburg in its efforts to maintain a highly competitive program in the Pennsylvania Conference and NCAA Divisions I and II. A native of Fairless Hills, Pa, Sanders graduated from West Chester State where he won three Middle Atlantic University Division Championships and a NCAA College Division crown. During his four years of collegiate wrestling, he never lost a dual match. Before coming to Bloomsburg, he served as head coach at New York University where he had a five-year record of 50-18-1. 2 PETE ADRIAN Head Coach Pete Adrian, Assistant Head Coach and Defensive Coordinator at the University of Rhode Island for the past ten seasons, is in his initial season as the Huskies head football L'l coach. The 37-year-old native of the Steubenville, Ohio area replaces George Landis who left Bloomsburg after four years as the Huskies' mentor to take over the head coaching duties at nearby Bucknell University. Adrian had served with head coach Bob Griffin at Rhode Island leading the Rams to consecutive 10-3 records in 1984 and 1985 and appearances in the NCAA Division I-AA national playoffs. Rhode Island also captured three of the last five Yankee Conference titles winning the crowns in 1981, 1984, and 1985. At the school, Adrian worked specifically with the Rams' linebacking corps while coordinating the defensive schemes. During his tenure at URI, the teams compiled a 58-51-1 record. Also in both 1984 and 1985, Rhode Island won the Lambert/Meadowlands Cup in Division I-AA. The award symbolizes football supremacy among Eastern schools. Prior to returning to Rhode Island, where he served as an assistant coach in the 1970 and 1971 seasons, Adrian was the defensive line coach under Griffin at Idaho State University in Pocatello, Idaho from 1972-75. He also was the school's head golf coach. Before his first stint at Rhode Island, he was the freshman coach at West Virginia University after his graduation from that school in 1968. While at WVU, Adrian was a linebacker for the mountaineers and served as captain of the freshman team. He was a five-sport letterwinner at Brilliant (OH) High School in the sports of football, basketball, baseball, track and golf. In addition to his football duties, Adrian has also been an instructor in the physical education departments at Idaho State and Rhode Island. He holds membership in the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA), New England Football Coaching Association, Fellowship of Christian Athletics and the Masonic Lodge. The new Huskies' coach inherits a program that had not seen a winning season in six years prior to Landis' arrival. Under the former boss, Bloomsburg registered a 24-18-1 record, including a 12-1 mark in 1985 which saw the Huskies win the Pennsylvania Conference Championship and make the school's first ever appearance in the NCAA Division Il national tournament. BU won its first round game with a 38-28 decision over Hampton (VA) University before falling 34-1 at North Alabama. An 11-0 regular season mark gave the team the distinction of being the nation's lone undefeated team in NCAA Il. For their efforts, the Huskies were named the Eastern College Athletic Conference's (ECAC) "Team of athe Year" and were recipients of the Lambert/Meadowlands Cup. Adrian will take over a program that graduated just 12 seniors and returns 12 players that started in the national semi-final contest against North Alabama. The newest member of the BU Athletic Department earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Education at West Virginia in 1970 and his Master's degree in Physical Education from Rhode Island in 1971. 3 THE BU COACHING STAFF - - - - - - Vin Sinagra - Defensive Coordinator, Defensive Line Sinagra was the first assistant coach selected by Pete Adrian as head coach of the Huskies.

D C@ 5 THE SEASON AHEAD The defending Pennsylvania Conference titlists could have an entirely different look in 1986 as new head coach Pete Adrian installs his one-back offense. Converting from the I formation of departed coach George Landis to the new system might suit the Huskies just fine if senior quarterback Jay DeDea (6-3, 208) has the kind of year he is capable of following last season's performance. While leading the unit to a school record 12 victories against just one loss and a berth in the NCAA Division II semi-finals DeDea completed 80 of 177 passes for 1157 yards and 11 touchdowns. He ciirected the Huskies to their second consecutive PC Eastern Division crown and a 31-9 triumph over Western Division winner Indiana (PA) in the "State Game." In the conference championship game he passed for four touchdowns and 267 yards. Adrian's offensive scheme will resemble pass-happy Rhode Island which reached the Division I-AA playoffs in each of the last two seasons while he served as defensive coordinator at that school. One major job will be to find enough targets for DeDea to throw at and five of 1985's top seven receivers give Adrian and his staff a good base with which to start. Tight end Kevin Grande (6-5, 220) earned Associated Press (AP) Little All-American honorable mention honors a year ago while catching a team leading 45 passes for 552 yards and six touchdowns. Grande was also one of 11 Huskies to be selected to the PC East's all-star squad. BU's other tight end John Rockmore (6-2, 210) came on strong near the end of the season hauling in 11 receptions for 191 yards and two scores, one of them the game winner in an 8-6 rain soaked victory over West Chester, which clinched the division crown. Flanker Ken Liebel (5-9, 172) matched Rockmore's reception total for 139 yards while reserve fullback Jeff Cicierski (5-11, 208) and wide receiver Curtis Still (5-11, 155) accounted for an additional 13 catches for 168 yards. Junior Tom Martin (5-8, 175), the club's top ground gainer in 1985, and an all-PC East pick, will keep the opposing defenses honest if they make plans against the passing attack. He rushed 222 times for 1017 yards and 10 touchdowns including two games in which he gained over 200 yards. Junior Tom Futch (5-11, 175) had his season cut short last year due to an ankle injury, but gained 289 yards on 77 carries prior to his departure. If the coaching staff decided on a bigger back behind DeDea; Cicierski, Jeff Flickner (5-11, 200) who led the team in rushing yardage in 1984, or sophomore Mike Medina (5-9, 196) could get the call. Other than depth, which seems to be a perennial concern, the offensive line looks good. Four of five starters and several key substitutes return with the lone defection, all-PC and AP Little All-American honorable mention tackle Doug DeLambo. Junior center John Fulmer (6-2, 247) and senior guard B.J. Swaldi (6-2, 243) enjoyed outstanding seasons and were rewarded by being named to the all-conference team. Joining them are veterans Rich Whelchel (6-4, 238) a tackle and guard Mark Williams (6-2, 222). One major offensive concern is the lack of experienced backup for DeDea. If the new staff can come up with another effective quarterback and some more receivers this seasons' offensive output could surpass last year's 4400 total yards and 45 touchdowns. On the other side of the ball, the base 50 defense won't change but many of the performers will be different. Just four starters from last years' unit return and three of those veterans are up front. Nose guard Wes Cook (6-3, 241) will plug up the middle once again, where he recorded a team-high nine sacks, and tackle Chris Gross (6-6, 236) will be on one side. All-PC tackle Jim Tyson (6-3, 235) may move to defensive end forcing a new face inside, but he should still see plenty of time in the opposing backfield. Linebacker Butch Kahlau (5-11, 222) and Cook both registered 79 tackles, second on the team to three-time AP Little All-American Frank Sheptock. Kahlau will be one of the Huskies' linebacking pair. The rest of the defense leaves a lot of questions to be answered. Just like the offensive front depth is a problem and 6 playing time early will be valuable. Jake Williams (6-0, 212) who shared the starting role with Kahlau until the mid-point of the season has the experience to fill the other inside slot. On the outside Duane Hettich (6-1, 212) has seen limited action in each of the last two seasons and could make a bid for one of the defensive end positions. Without question, the biggest overhaul project is in the secondary where all four performers have departed led by AP Little All-American comerback Tony Woods. Converted tailback Tom Heavey (5-9, 184) is one of the forerunners for one of the comers. Heavey was the squad's fourth leading rusher last season. Sophomores Bruce Linton (5-10, 180) and Derrick Hill (6-0, 167) saw very limited game time last season defensively, but could be in the starting lineup in the season opener at Shippensburg on September 13. Brian Scriven (6-2, 204) a senior who will be playing at his third position since entering Bloomsburg's program, appears to have the inside track to the starting strong safety berth. He spent time in the offensive backfield in 1984 before moving to a starting outside linebacker spot last season. Scriven is probably the team's best all-around athlete. Last season the defense forced 53 turnovers and held the opposition to 13.8 points per game. nght end Kevin Grande breaks Into the open 7 BLOOMSBURG UNIVERSITY Pre-Season Roster NAME CLASS POS.

Valparaiso Phillipsburg Coming West Troy Lourdes Sparta A LOOK AT THE VETERANS FOR 1986 Jeff Cicierski. RB/TE, 5-11, 208, junior His versatility gives the staff several options and he will most likely see a lot of playing lime in 1986. Served primarily as a blocker and in short yardage situations. Ran the ball 27 times for 115 yards and four touchdowns. Caught eight passes for 85 yards. Should also be one of the special teams leaders for the Huskies. Wes Cook. NG. 6-3, 241. senior Without question the leader of the defense. Has the ability to change a game around. Had 79 tackles, a safety, an interception to go along with nine sacks last season. Moves extremely well and uses outstanding strength lo his advantage. Could be the best in the conference at nose guard. Jay DeDea, QB. 6-3, 208, senior If he slays healthy, 1986 could be his best season yet! Missed five games last year, but returned to lead the Huskies to the NCAA semi-finals. Completed 80 of 177 pass attempts for 1157 yards and 11 touchdowns in 1985. Has a great arm and has the capability lo tum a broken play into a big play. Handles pressure extremely well despite average mobility. Jeff Flickner, RB. 5-11. 200, senior Looks like he can recapture the "flame" of first two years after a dissappoinling junior season. Accumulated 56 yards on 29 carries and had four receptions for 76 yards and scored twice. Was the team's leading rusher in his freshman and sophomore seasons.

Bloomsburg ended the regular season undefeated and captured the PC crown with a 31-9 victory over Indiana University. The win clinched an NCAA playoff berth and captured the Huskies their first ever Lambert/Meadowlands Cup, symbolizing football supremacy in the East. Added to this, Bloomsburg was named the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) "Team of the Year." Game One - September 14 - Bloomsburg 18, Shippensburg 3 Twelve first quarter points proved to be all Bloomsburg would need to give them their first opening game victory since 1977, which was the last time Bloomsburg defeated the Red Raiders. Todd Sullivan made good on a 34-yard field goal, and tailback Tom Futch scored on a nine-yard run to give the Huskies the lead. Sullivan hit again from 29-yards and fullback Calvin Robinson scored on a one-yard run to finish out Bloomsburg's scoring. Quarterback Jay DeDea completed 15 of 28 passes including four to split end Joe Dowd and three to Robinson. On defense, nose guard Wes Cook registered three sacks, linebacker Dave Heckman another two, and linebacker Brian Scriven added one to lead the team. Game Two - September 21 - Bloomsburg 49, Lock Haven 14 Using a wishbone running attack, Lock Haven marched 61-yards down the field to score on their first possession. It would be 28 Bloomsburg points later, however, until the Bald Eagles registered another touchdown as the Bloomsburg defense put the clamps on the wishbone and shut down Lock Haven's offensive attack. Seven different Husky players scored on the day, including the first defensive touchdown since 1979 when cornerback Paul Fisher picked off a Lock Haven pass and ran 28-yards for the TD. Robinson, Futch, Dowd, tightend John Rockmore, fullback Jay Drumheller, and running back Mike Medina all scored touchdowns. Along with Fisher, defensive backs Randy Bullock and Leo Harris both had interceptions. Game Three - September 28 - Bloomsburg 21. East Stroudsburg 16 All-American Linebacker Frank Sheptock came up with a late fourth quarter interception to secure a slim Bloomsburg lead and their third win of the season.

Robinson led the Bloomsburg offense with 124 yards and one touchdown. DeDea threw a 40-yard touchdown pass to split end Joe Dowd before having to leave the game with a knee injury.

Game Four - October 5 - Bloomsburg 24, Cheyney 0 A stingy Bloomsburg defense, giving up only 70 total yards, along with 324 offensive yards led the Huskies to its only shutout of the season. In the starting roll as quarterback, Mike Glovas hit on 15 of 29 passes for 127 yards including one touchdown. Sheptock led the defense with nine tackles, one interception and a fumble recovery. Woods picked off another pass to give him four interceptions for the season. Tight end Kevin Grande, Robinson, and Jeff Cicierski all scored. Sullivan added a 23 yard field goal. Game Five - October 12 - Bloomsburg 35, Mansfield 13 Scoring the first four times they had the ball, Bloomsburg built a 28-0 half time lead.

Jeff Flickner scored twice on the day, both on passes from Glovas. Fullback Jeff Cicierski, and Mike Glovas both scored on one-yard runs. Defensively Sheptock and Heckman led Bloomsburg with eight tackles a piece. Cook and Scott Baer both registered sacks. Game Six - October 19 - Bloomsburg 28, Millersville 17 Trailing 14-7 going into the second half, Bloomsburg used two third quarter touchdowns to spark them to their sixth win in as many games in front of a record homecoming crowd of 7,483 people. Glovas hit Martin on a four-yard pass, and following a Cook interception, came back on the next possession and hit Grande from 27-yards out.

Dowd also scored for the Huskies on a 27 yard pass. On defense, Sheptock put in another solid performance with 14 tackles, while cornerback Tony Woods picked off two Marauder passes and Fisher and linebacker lake Williams each intercepted one. 16 Game Seven - October 26- Bloomsburg 17. California 10 A rematch of the 1984 "state game" was next for Bloomsburg, with a fourth quarter touchdown by Martin breaking a 10-10 tie giving the Huskies the win. The one-yard Martin touchdown was set up by a 75 yard punt return by Derrick Hill, giving Bloomsburg the ball on California's two yard line.

Woods and Randy Bullock both picked off Vulcan passes, raising their totals to seven and three respectively on the year. Martin again rushed for over 1()() yards with 103 on 23 attempts including a 50 yard run. Game Eight - November 2 - Bloomsburg 29. Kutztown 23 Scoring with just under three minutes to play gave Bloomsburg its only lead in the game as Kutztown was planning to ruin the Huskies unbeaten record. A Hill 39-yard punt return set up the scoring drive which saw Martin run eight of the nine plays and Robinson go over to top from one-yard out. Woods' two fourth quarter interceptions stopped Golden Bear drives late in the game and gave him the conference record for the most career interceptions at 26. Earlier in the fourth quarter Martin scored on a one-yard run. Martin and Robinson both scored earlier in the contest including a 64 yard TD by Martin. He set two school rushing records by carrying the ball 42 times for 259 yards. Sheptock again led the team in tackles with 18. Game Nine - November 9 - Bloomsburg 51.

Following BU's first TD, flanker Ken Liebel threw a pass to Grande for a two point conversion. Liebel would score another two point conversion on a run later in the game. Game Ten - November 16 - Bloomsburg 8. West Chester 6 Throughout the season Bloomsburg had been blessed with good weather, but a weeks worth of rain made conditions for the PC East Championship game perfect for a mud bowl. West Chester struck first blocking a second quarter Ed Jankowski punt, which was returned for a touchdown. Later in the quarter Wes Cook sacked West Chester quarterback Al Niemela for what turned out to be two big points. The only other score in the game came on a 42-yard pass from DeDea to tight end John Rockmore giving BU the 8-6 victory. The rainy conditions saw four West Chester fumbles while Bloomsburg had three. Both teams also had two interceptions. Sheptock led the defense with 13 tackles and two fumble recoveries. Woods and Bullock each had an interception, and Kahlau chipped in with 10 tackles.

Bloomsburg lost to California in 1984, and Indiana lost back to back games to East Stroudsburg in 1964 and 1965. Neither team had ever participated in the NCAA Division II tournament, and neither team had ever won the Lambert/Meadowlands Cup, symbolizing football supremacy in the East. All this was on the line, with the winner to take all, when Indiana came to Redman Stadium to take on host Bloomsburg in the 26th Annual "State Game." Indiana sported the conferences' number one offense sparked by quarterback Rich Ingold, while Bloomsburg boasted the conference's top defense with a variety of players including All-Americans Frank Sheptock and Tony Woods. It would be offense which won the game, but not Indiana's, as Bloomsburg quarterback Jay DeDea threw completed 14 of 21 passes for 267 yards and four touchdowns to lead Bloomsburg to a 31-9 victory. On defense, free safety Randy Bullock picked off four Indiana passes, and rover Cas Kosciolek added another to help hold Indiana to just three field goals. Indiana came out as expected, moving the ball up the field via the air, including a 41-yard Ingold to Craig Sheffler toss setting up a 24-yard John Sandstrom field goal. Bloomsburg came back later in the first quarter with a 28-yard field goal by Todd Sullivan. The scoring drive was set up by Bullock's first interception, which he returned 48 yards to the Indiana 43. Indiana took the lead again early in the second quarter with another field goal by Sandstrom, this time from 32 yards out. Indiana had driven to the Bloomsburg 15 before the Huskies' defense put on the clamps, helped by a pass break up by Woods. Bloomsburg took the lead for good late in the first half on a 65-yard scoring drive which saw DeDea hit tight end Kevin Grande from 3-yards out with only 31 seconds remaining. At the half, BU led 10-6. Indiana's final points came early in the third quarter on another Sandstrom field goal, this time from 27 yards. On the next kickoff, Woods returned the ball for what seemed to be a touchdown, but a penalty brought the ball back to the Bloomsburg 22. They went on to score seven plays later, however, on a 45 yard flea-flicker pass from DeDea to Dowd, giving Bloomsburg a 17-9 lead. On their next possession DeDea hit Dowd again on a record breaking 94-yard TD pass. The touchdown bomb was set up by the second Bullock interception. Bullock's third interception set up the next Husky touchdown when he picked off a Scott Rhodes pass. Rhodes had come in for the injured Ingold. DeDea hit Grande from 12 yards out to finish the scoring, the Sullivan extra point made the final score 31-9 in favor of the Huskies. On Indiana's next possession, another Bloomsburg mark was broken when Bullock intercepted his fourth of the day. On the day, along with the five interceptions, Bloomsburg registered 11 pass breakups to help shut down the Indians' passing attack. Frank Sheptock helped out the Bloomsburg defense with 14 tackles. Wes Cook also registered a sack along with four tackles, and one of the pass breakups. Offensively Bloomsburg registered 374 offensive yards including 276 in the air. Tom Martin was the leading rusher with 74 yards.

Hampton, the winner of the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association title, came out strong, scoring only 18 seconds into the game on an 80-yard Carl Painter run. Following an incomplete pass from Marco Stacy to Darryl Skinner, Painter went straight up the middle for the score. Bloomsburg tied the score later in the quarter on a 83-yard scoring drive. With the ball on their own 17-yard line, the Huskies began a controlled march on the ground, including 39, and 19 yard runs by Martin. A 15-yard Jay DeDea to Kevin Grande pass put Bloomsburg on the Hampton seven, and two plays later DeDea hit Joe Dowd in the end zone for _the score.

Bloomsburg came back late in the first half, driving from their own 23 to the Pirates' 28 where Sullivan hit a 36-yard field goal with no time left on the clock closing the gap to 22-17 at half time. The third quarter remained quiet as Bloomsburg missed on two scoring attempts. First, a fake kick attempt failed on the Hampton eight yard line, and later in the quarter a Sullivan 29-yard field goal attempt was no good. The third quarter ended with Hampton still leading 22-17. Following a Hampton fumble, Bloomsburg took the ball on the Pirate 26-yard line and a DeDea to Grande 12-yard pass along with a two point conversion gave Bloomsburg a 23-22 lead. Bloomsburg came back again on their next possession, marching 51 yards, capped off by a seven-yard Martin TD run. A DeDea pass to Grande scored the two-point conversion and the Huskies led 31-22.

The Lions, a veteran to NCAA playoffs having completed in 1980, 1981 and 1983, defeated Bloomsburg 34-0 to advance to the finals against South Dakota in the Palm Bowl, McAllen, Texas. Half of Bloomsburg's battle came on the flight down. Expecting to leave Wilkes-Barre's Avoca Airport at 7:30 a.m. the Huskies were given an unexpected surprise when their plane, which was coming to pick them up slid off the runway into the mud. The disabled plane caused the airport to close down as it could not be removed from the mud. The team had to get back on the busses and travel to Allentown where they flew out at 8:30 p.m. EST, 11 hours later than they originally planned. Upon their arrival in Alabama, Bloomsburg was treated with the greatest form of southern hospitality, as a matter of fact the only place they were not treated well was on the field. Following the opening kickoff, Bloomsburg was unable to move the ball against a tough UNA defense. Ed Jankowski's punt was blocked by Bruce Jones and was picked up by Lewis Billups in the endzone for the touchdown. Both teams remained quiet for the rest of the quarter and at the end North Alabama led 7-0. The Lions then established a solid running game, using the run on a 12-play-71-yard drive for their second touchdown. The Lions were helped by a 30-yard Clarence Johnson run along with a face mask penalty putting the ball on the Bloomsburg three-yard line. On the next play Charles Johnson went over the top for the score. The Huskies next drive looked promising until Calvin Robinson fumbled the ball after a 20-yard gain. On the next play quarterback Dallas Metcalf hit Tony Morrow on a 54-yard pass to up UNA's lead to 21-0. Alabama ended the first half scoring with a 29-yard James Knowles field goal with no time left on the clock. At the half, North Alabama led 24-0. On their first possession of the second half, the Lions picked up right where they left off by driving from their own 26 to the Bloomsburg 16 before Knowles hit a 34-yard field goal upping their lead to 27-0. Alabama came back again on their next possession to score again. This time Metcalf hit Glenn Ivy from nine-yards out to cap of a nine-play-68-yard drive. Following the third quarter, Alabama led 34-0. The fourth quarter was quiet with neither team scoring, and Alabama cruised to a 34-0 final. The next week the Lions lost to South Dakota in the Palm Bowl, the NCAA Division II Championships. On the bright side for Bloomsburg All-American Frank Sheptock finished his career in a Husky uniform in brilliant fashion. Sheptock totaled 20 tackles and one interception to end his college career. Also Randy Bullock and Cas Kosciolek both had 10 tackles and Dave Heckman had nine to help the Bloomsburg defense. Offensively Bloomsburg was held to just 184 yards on offense with both Jay DeDea and Tom Martin gaining 30-yards on the ground.

Jay DeDea, Joe Dowd, Jim Tyson, Randy Bullock *State Game 25 - PENNSYLVANIA STATE ATHLETIC CONFERENCE - The Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference is comprised of 14 schools in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education. This new governing body took over from the Department of Education on July 1, 1983, and the change was also reflected in the granting of university status to all member institutions formerly known as "state colleges." The conference sponsors championship competition in ten sports for men and ten for women as follows: Fall Season - MEN - cross country, football, soccer; WOMEN - cross country, field hockey, tennis and volleyball. Winter Season - MEN - Basketball, swimming and diving, and wrestling; WOMEN - basketball, gymnastics, swimming and diving. Spring Season - MEN - baseball, golf, tennis, and track and field; WOMEN - 6lacrosse, softball, and track and field. All 14 schools are members of Division II of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). In individual sports, however, some schools have elected to compete in other NCAA divisions. Athletes and teams have won numerous honors in national competition and have helped the PSAC become one of the most respected "small college" conferences in the nation.

Redman Stadium is situated on the upper campus of Bloomsburg University as part of the university's 103 acre athleticomplex. Completed in February of 1974, the new facility took the place of Athletic Park in downtown Bloomsburg as "Home of the Huskies." The stadium, which overlooks the scenic Susquehanna Valley, has sealing for 5,000 spectators although attendance al several events has exceeded that total. The area is designed for expansion should such a project be needed and contains large storage capabilities as well as a concession stand and restrooms. The university's upper campus also contains the E. H. Nelson Fieldhouse, Danny Litwhiler Field (baseball) and a huge field area which serves as home for the Huskies' soccer and lacrosse teams along with multiple practice fields. Located inside the stadium confines is an all-weather track used by BU's mens's and women's track and field teams. A pressbox with seating for more than 40 persons is situated on lop of the west stands. Originally, when planning began for the new stadium in 1963, the proposed site was the area now occupied by 18 tennis courts on the lower campus, however, a consultant's report recommened the upper campus development. The project finally got underway in 1972 at a total cost of $725,000. On Saturday, September 21, 1974, the first game was played in the stadium and dedication ceremonies were held naming the facility in honor of Redman. A native of Sayre, PA, and a graduate of its public schools, Coach Redman graduated with honors in economics at Swarthmore College where he also participated in four years of varsity fooball activities, served as captain during his senior year, and was also a varsity performer with the baseball team. He earned the master of arts degree in economics as an honor student at Duke University and began his program of doctoral studies in economics at Pennsylvania State University during his tenure at Bloomsburg State College. Redman had coached at Sayre High School and al North High School in Binghamton, New York prior to serving as an officer in the United States Navy during World War 2. He left the service with the rank of lieutenant commander. He returned to his coaching duties at North High School and remained there until his appointment at Bloomsburg in 1947. In addition to serving as a head coach of two varsity teams, Redman also served as dean of men and taught a full schedule of courses in economics. During his five years at Bloomsburg, his teams won 38 games while losing only four. His record included three Pennsylvania Conference championships and two undefeated teams. He left Bloomsburg in September 1952 to become head football coach at East Orange Senior High School, New Jersey. During the late S0's he was appointed principal of the senior high school and his untimely death occurred in 1960 shortly after he had been elected superintendent of schools in East Orange, New Jersey. w ,t Robert B.

However, with a host of returning starters, 1986 could be the Golden Rams' year. Returning quarterback Al Niemela who completed 105 of 218 passes in 1985 for 1,331 yards was named the ECAC Rookie of the Year in 1985, and will have his two best targets back in Bill Hess and Jim Sheehan. Hess, the teams leading receiver last fall caught 33 passes for 360 yards and three touchdowns. Sheehan caught 30 passes for 420 yards scoring four touchdowns. Running the ball for West Chester will be Mike Burnetta and Jason Sims. Burnetta and Simms were both starters in the 1985 season. On defense, linebacker and two-year leading tackler John Mininno will return to lead the Rams. Also returning will be ends Joe Ellis and Dean DiPasquale and linebacker Doug Kelly. Kicking for West Chester will be a pair of veterans in punter Charlton Hollenbach and place kicker Gary Desmond. Sept. 12 Sept. 20 Sept. 26 Oct. 3 Oct.11 Oct. 18 Oct. 25 Nov.

The team is hoping for a rebound led by the arm of quarterback Ray Gentilella. Gentilella completed 84 of 191 passes in 1985 for 1141 yards and nine touchdowns. Also available at quarterback is another veteran Paul Bruder and Tom Flynn, a former Big 33 Game high school quarterback and a transfer from Lafayette College. Coach Denny Douds is also counting on backs Brooks Perkins and John Mesko. Perkins was the team's leading rusher with 544 yards on 167 carries last season and scored six touchdowns. Helping East Stroudsburg's offensive attack will be a group of experienced offensive linemen. Center Mike Yanders and guards Rick Vance and Mike Gierbula lead the blocking corps. The only returning letterman on hand at wide receiver is Kevin Mack. Tight ends Chuck Comish and Ken Haller will also be main targets. On defense, Joe Keenan the team's leading tackler in 1985, will lead the way. End Bryan Heverin, linebackers Dan Murray and Glen Unger and defensive back Chris Gerhard will all be returning.

The main problem seemed to be the lack of offensive bite. Cheyney scored only 92 points while giving up 207 points in their 10 games. Many of their offensive problems came at the quarterback position where second-year head coach Mike Costa is now turning to a pair of sophomores, Andrew Williams and Daryl Bennett to lead the attack. Four running backs will return in 1986 including the team's top rushers Michael Lee and Michael Rackley. What will help the Wolves offensive attack will be the veteran offensive line. Ben Frazier, who ranked eighth in the nation last year in punt returns will be a threat everytime he returns the ball . While the Wolves had problems on offense, their defense held its own, and finished third in the PC East, giving up an average 262.7 yards per game. The passing defense finished second in the division, while the rushing defense finished fifth last season, the defense looks very strong again, led by veteran linebacker Victor Nixon.

The most effective play in the Mounties' offense again should be three-year starter Robert Funderburk running behind the blocking of guard Rod Purcell. Funderbuck led Mansfield in 1985 averaging 74 yards per game rushing, and scoring 10 touchdowns. Purcell, a first team All-Conference guard in 1985, will return as a co-captain. A new quarterback must be developed with top candidates Todd Smith and Chris Fusco. There should be no problem with receivers, however, as senior Fred Coleman and junior John Matyas will be threats. The strength of the defense will be the secondary with starters Doug Westervelt, Mike Egenreider and John Myers all returning. Westervelt will serve as the team's other co-captain. Coach Tom Elsasser will need help on the defensive line as All-Conference tackle Don Chubb has graduated. Sept. 13 Sept. 20 Sept. 27 Oct. 4 Oct. 11 Oct. 18 Oct. 25 Nov.

The rest of the team should be solid. The two top ccandidates for the tailback position will be sophomores Steve Napier and Shaun Arline. Napier started the last three games of the 1985 season in that position, gaining 367 yards. Mike Vidovich is the leading candidate for the fullback spot. Tackle Ed Aldrich and center Scott Sharp are a pair of senior All-Conference performers who will anchor the offensive line. They should supply plenty of blocking for Napier and Arline. Senior Dave Hangen and sophomore Steve Sawyer will battle for the quarterback assignment. Anthony Smith will be the wide receiver for the Marauders. Smith caught 23 passes in 1985 for 245 yards. The strength of the defense will be in the secondary with free safety Dion Reed (eight interceptions) and cornerbacks Michael Brower, Dan Kessler and Tony Yoas. Other defensive leaders will be Bob Markwith at end and Jeff Hannis at tackle. 1985 Results 1986 Schedule 28 - at Shepherd. . . . . . . . . 3 Sept. 13 GLENVILLE ST ..... .. .. 7:30 28 - C.

Tailback Rick Twine, who played in the shadow of All-American tailback Chuck Sanders in 1985 will be someone to watch in '86. Twine will most likely be the workhorse throughout the season. Also a lot of Slippery Rock's effectiveness will depend on the return of quarterback Eric Denton who missed much of last season with ankle injuries. Denton has fully recovered. Leading the Rocket defense will be cornerback Gary Barnes, who tied for the team lead in interceptions last year with five. The Rock boasts a pair of outstanding return men in Troy Keefer and Herb Lippencott who will also battle for a starting spot at wide receiver. Keefer broke a school record with a 101-yard kick off return against Shippensburg last season, he also returned a punt for 64 yards for another score in that contest.

Another defensive leader will be Craig Tomlinson (68 tackles in 1985). Offensively Kutztown will use the Wing T, and look to All-Americans Bob DiRico and Paul Magistro.

Magistro was named the 1985 Eastern Division Player of the Year, and was a member of the first team PC East team.

After winning five of their first six games easily, the Spartans dropped three of their last four to finish 6-4 last season ending Bailey's string of four straight CIAA titles and six straight NCAA post-season appearances. But with 56 of 70 letterwinners and 12 of 22 starters back from that team, the Spartans should again be favorites to win the 1986 CIAA crown and rank among the nation's top 10 NCAA Division II teams. The top nine rushers from last year are all back including sophomores Ken Dickens and Tony Graves with 531 yards and 340 respectively. Each had five rushing TD's. Graves also blocked four kicks and returned one for a TD. While starting quarterback Willie Gillus is gone, Bailey has three holdovers from last year ready to tackle his potent Wing-T offense. Last year Norfolk's rushing defense was the best in Division II allowing only 50.9 yards a game, while the pass defense yielded 194.3. The secondary will be improved with the return of Fred Bryant and Kevin Burton and linebackers James Stallings and Frank Smith will bolster both the run and the pass defense.
