The initial wrestling team was organized in 1937 under the direction of Kenneth Horner of Shamokin, Pa. Few members of this particular squad had any wrestling experience whatsoever, leaving Coach Horner with the dubious task of teaching the basic fundamentals to the inexperienced and the finer points to the more experienced members of the squad. Bloomsburg participated in three dual meets that season-losing to Mansfield State College twice and East Stroudsburg State College once, thus ending B.S.C.'s rude initiation to intercollegiate wrestling. The following year B.S.C. wrestling under Coach Horner was still in the inaugural stages of intercollegiate wrestling, but readily showing signs of improvement. The "Huskies" wrestled four dual meets, winning over Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute and losing twice to Keystone Junior College and once to Mansfield State College . That year the college yearbook stated that the interest of the student body and the contestants in wrestling had grown substantially over the past two years, and that wrestling promised to become a very popular sport at B.S.C. -5- (- - Interest in wrestling ballooned during the 1937-38 season with the "Huskies" participating in an unprecedented six dual meets--losing five. Captain Walter Woytovich, the backbone of the squad for the past three years, and Coach Kenneth Horner were closing out their respective wrestling careers at the close of the 1937-38 season. Although it appeared that a team would be taking to the mats the following season, for some undisclosed reason a wrestling squad did not materialize . It wasn't until the 1943-44 school year when the Navy V-12 training program was incorporated in B.S.C.'s curriculum that wrestling re-emerged as a sport of B.S.C. During the 1944-45 season, Lt. Vincent Olshefski, a Navy Doctor, coached and captained a team that wasn't victorious but provided the majority of area fans with some exciting wrestling action. Between 1945 and 1954, wrestling interest at B.S.C. deteriorated to the point that wrestling was only used as an occasional intramural sport . With the intense popularity of intercollegiate wrestling spreading from the mid-west to eastern campuses, it was only a matter of destiny that wrestling should return to B.S.C., thus the "Huskies" were ready for another serious attempt at intercollegiate wrestling . Although Bloomsburg was only victorious one time that season, two wrestlers managed to garner third place finishes in the Teachers College Tournament . Jack Yohe served as the B.S .C. head coach for the 1954-55 wrestling campaign. The next two years the Huskies were under the direction of newcomer, Walter Blair. Although none of the team members captured a championship, Blair proved to be an enthusiastic coach instilling confidence in his team and providing many enjoyable matches for area wrestling fans. The 1957-58 season proved to be the turning point in the B.S.C. wrestling program with Russell E. Houk joining the Health and Physical Education staff as Head Wrestling Coach and Athletic Director. Right from the beginning under Coach Houk, the Huskies began to be a dominent force in the Pennsylvania Conference placing second that year and producing an individual champion at 123 pounds, Jim Garman. The fol lowing year, 1959-60 season, the Huskies were undefeated 10-0, won the Pennsylvania Conference title, and also went on to capture B.S.C.'s initial NAIA title, producing the school's first individual national champions in Dale Sullivan at 130 and Robert Rohm at 157, who now serves as a B.S .C. assistant coach to head mentor, Roger Sanders. Throughout Coach Houk's tenure as head wrestling coach, Bloomsburg was recognized as the team to beat in both the PA Conference and the NAIA. Much of Houk's success as a coach can be attributed to his very austere practice sessions, his extraordinary desire to be a consistent winner, and his uncanny ability to recognize high school talent with the potential of becoming a top notch collegiate performer. -6- I Coach Houk came to the B.S.C. campus after establishing a dual meet high school record of 4 7-15-0 at the high schools of South Wil Iiamsport and Muncy in North-Central Pennsylvania. Susbequently, Houk built many of his powerhouse teams by recruiting locally from area high schools. When he relinquished his coaching position at B.S .C. following the 1970-71 season, he had a dual meet record of 142-34-2. In addition, his A.A.U. team record stood at 10-0-0. During his B.S.C. career, Houk produced five Pennsylvania Conference team champions, forty-one Pennsylvania Conference individual champions, four NAIA team titles, and 12 individual NAI A champions. Three of the wrestlers that he recruited and coached in his final year--Randy Watts, 150, Ron Sheehan, 167, and Floyd "Shorty" Hitchcock, 177, eventually went on to capture NCAA Division II Titles with Hitchcock also gaining the NCAA Division I title under the competent direction of present head mentor, Roger Sanders. Houk, as a member of the health and physical education staff, has continued to be a prominent figure on the national and international level. Since 1964, he has been involved in setting up development camps for international and olympic competition. He has been chairman of the U.S. Olympic Wrestling Committee and serves as a consultant to the President's Commission on Olympic Sports. He served as manager of both the 1972 and 1976 Olympic Freestyle Wrestling Teams. Houk was team leader for the American wrestling aggregation that went to the Soviet Union, Poland, and the World Champion ships in Istanbul in 1974. He was intrumentai in bringing both the Polish Greco-Roman team to Bloomsburg in 1974 and the world champion Russian Freestyle wrestling team to Bloomsburg in 1975. Controversy in athletics at the start of the 1971-72 season, particularly in the wrestling area, resulted in Bloomsburg not having a varsity wrestling team that year. The fortunes of B.S.C. wrestling again looked up when Roger Sanders, former West Chester State Wrestling Star, was named head coach for the 1972-73 season. During his 4 years at West Chester State, Sanders never lost a dual meet, won 3 Middle Atlantic Championships, and the NCAA College Division title . A year's lay-off didn't help Sander's first team as the Huskies struggled to 7 win 8 loss season. However, this was the year the B.S.C.'s illustrious Floyd "Shorty" Hitchcock, later dubbed as B.S.C.'s greatest wrestler, began to come into national prominence. After winning the PA Conference title at 190 lbs., Hitchcock proved to be one of the world's finest freestylers capturing the silver medal at the World University Games in Moscow of that year. Bloomsburg had a very successful 1973-74 season, posting a 17-3 dual record, winning the U.S. Coast Guard Tournament, placing third in the PA Conference, fourth in the Wilkes Open, fifth in the NCAA Division II Tournament, and 15th in the NCAA Division I Tourney. I I _j - 7- ( The climax of the year was Hitchcock winning both the college and university divisions of the NCAA at 177 lbs. and also being named the Outstanding Wrestler in both divisions. Sharing some of the spotlight w ith Hitchcock, was Ron Sheehan who captured the 167 lb. NCAA Divi sion 11 Crown. In 1974-75 the "Huskies" had another outstanding year undercoach Roger Sanders with an 11-3-1 dual record, a surprising second place finish in the PA Conference meet, fifth in the Wilkes Open, and an eighth place finish in the NCAA 11 Tournament. -----·-----IOWA ·ED'VIL I Randy Watts, 1975 NCAA Division 11 Champion Leading the B.S.C. Huskies that year were four All-Americans: senior co-captain Randy Watts, who was the NCAA Division 11 Champion at 150 and placed sixth in the NCAA Division I Competition; freshman Steve Scheib at 177 lbs. gained All-American status by placing third in the NCAA Division II tourney;senior Matt Tydor, 190, placed fifth in the NCAA Division 11; and freshman Tom Fink, 118 lbs. placed fourth in the same competition. It was also the year that Coach Sanders was inducted into West Chester State's Wrestling Hall of Fame. l After a very productive recruiting year, the rebuilding Huskies compiled a dual meet record of 9-8-1 with a starting lineup that consisted of six freshman, three sophomores, and one junior. The B.S .C. squad tied strong East Stroudsburg for their place in the PA Conference Tourney with sophomore Steve Scheib grabbing the 177 lb. title. B.S.C . also finished fifth in the newly formed Eastern Wrestling League. Due to a gradual upgrading process of the B.S.C. Wrestling schedule, the young Huskies wrestled such formidable opponents as Penn State, Navy, Clarion, and Slippery Rock who were ranked ninth, twelfth, -8- eighteenth, and twentieth respectively in the final Amateur Wrestling News NCAA I rankings. Coach Sanders felt that the Huskies must wrestle the best competition in the United States in Ol-der to gain any future national 1-ecognition. B.S.C. may have had better or mor-e exciting seasons, but there was none more gratifying to Coach Sanders than the 1976-77 season. The Huskies posted an 11-4 season mark and after a disappointing sixth place finish in the PA Conference, B.S.C. finished second in the strong Eastern Wrestling League Tournament behind perennial Eastern power, Penn State. Chris Poff Carl Poff The season's big surprise was unseeded Chi-is Poff capturing the 150 lb. title while second place finishers were Tom Fink (126), Bart McCollum (142), and Andy Cappelli (167). Three other Huskies, Carl Poff (134), Mel Sharp (190), and Tino DiMarco (HWT), placed third in the same competition. As a result of Bloomsburg gaining two wild card selections for third place finishers, a total of six Huskies competed in the annual NCAA Division I Championships at the University of Oklahoma. Unfortunately, the initial match-ups were not too favorable for B.S.C. and consequently, no Husky grappler placed in the competition. Since the arrival of Head Coach Roger Sanders in the fall of 1972, the B.S.C. Huskies have become a perennial Eastern wrestling power and have also gained recognition on the national level through the periodic NCAA Division I polls in Amateur Wrestling News and National Mat News. Sanders, labeled by many as an excellent wrestling technician in his college days at West Chester State, has also gained tremendous prestige as a coach for the development of NCAA Champions, Floyd "Shorty" Hitchcock (NCAA I & 11), Ron Sheehan (NCAA II), Randy Watts (NCAA 11), and a total of six B.S.C. All-Americans. Coach Sander's six year record at B.S.C. stands at 65-29-2. It should also be noted that he received his 100th coaching victory by trouncing his alma mater, West Chester State College, by a score of 35-9 in late January of 1977. The ever growing enthusiasm of area fans and students, the excellent coaching staffs over the past 30 years, and the consistent crop of top grade collegiate wrestlers have made wrestling a traditional favorite each school year on the campus of Bloomsburg State College. - 9- FLOYD "SHORTY" HITCHCOCK PORTRAIT OF A CHAMPION Bloomsburg State College has produced many great wrestling champions throughout the years of it's intercollegiate existence. Among them are William Garson, a 3 time NAIA champion at 191 lbs. and Hwt. Joseph Gerst, the 1967 NAIA champion at 152 lbs., who is presently the head coach at Mifflinburg High School, and Ron Russo, a 2 time NCAA Division I placewinner now serving as the head wrestling coach at Columbia University. Those are just a few of the many former B.S.C. w restling greats, but perhaps the greatest wrestler ever to represent the outstanding wrestling tradition at Bloomsburg State College was Floyd "Shorty" Hitchcock. Floyd Hitchcock, a multi-sport athlete while attending Wyalusing High School, did not begin his illustrious wrestling career until his junior year. Hitchcock learned the basic fundamentals of wrestling very rapidly under the competent direction of his high school coach, Carl Schnure. As Shorty's high school career progressed, he developed tremendous confidence in his new found wrestling ability and displayed - 10 - an aggressive mat style that eventually made him the "most popular wrestler" in B.S.C. history. Shorty's overall record at Wyalusing High School was 27-1, losing only to the eventual state champion during the 1969 district tournament. Floyd Hitchcock began his collegiate wrestling career at Bloomsburg State College during the fall semester of 1969 under the able direction of head coach, Russell E. Houk. Hitchcock, being gifted with awesome natural ability, exceptional strength, and uncanny balance showed signs of superstar potential as a frosh by posting a 10-4 record, finishing third in both the Pennsylvania Conference and the NAIA tourney at 177 lbs. During his sophomore campaign, wrestling at 177 lbs. and 190 lbs . Shorty developed into one of the top collegiate performers in the nation by posting a 19-1 overall mark with 14 falls. Shorty also gained substantial national acclaim during the 1970-71 season by outpointing 1973 Iowa State NCAA champion, Rich Binek, during dual meet activity, winning the Pennsylvania Conference crown at 190 lbs ., and placing second in the annual NAIA Championships. Shorty Hitchcock did not compete on the intercollegiate level during the 1971-72 season due to the discontinuation of the wrestling program at Bloomsburg State College. Despite a full season of intercollegiate dual meet inactivity, Shorty quickly regained his "superstar status" by closing out the 1972-73 season with a 21-0 overall record including 12 falls. Hitchcock's numerous accolades during the 1972-73 campaign included his second Pennsylvania Conference title at 190 lbs., a third consecutive Eastern AAU 180 lb. title at the New York Athletic Club, and the "Outstanding Wrestler Award" in the first annual Bloomsburg Open. Prior to entering his final year of eligibility as a Husky grappler, Shorty represented Bloomsburg State College at the prestigious World University Games in Moscow of the Soviet Union. He earned the 198 lb. position by besting his fellow collegiate opponents in a qualifying tournament at Anonaka, Minnesota . Shorty went on to establish himself as one of the top free-stylers in the entire world during the 1973 games by winning the coveted silver medal. He finished second to the Soviet Union's Levan Tediashvili, a 5 time world champion, who has never been beaten during international competition. It should also be noted that Tediashvili went on to win his second consecutive Olympic Gold Medal in Montreal and has been classified by many experts as the top wrestler in the world today. Floyd "Shorty" Hitchcock's wrestling achievements during his final season of collegiate competition are unparalled in the annals of B.S.C. wrestling history. He compiled an amazing 34-2-2 overall record during the 1973-74 season. Shorty closed out his dual meet career at Bloomsburg State College by winning an unprecedented 48 of 50 matches since his 1971 dual loss to Russ Johnson of Ohio University. He was tied two times during that unbeaten string; once by former Clarion State NCAA Champion, Bill Simpson, and by monstrous Gene Santoli, a 300 lb. heavyweight from Bucknell University. -11- _) Shorty brought Bloomsburg State Coilege into the national limelight at the close of the 1973-74 wrestling season by winning both the NCAA Division I and Division 11 titles at 177 lbs . He was also named the Outstanding Wrestler in both NCAA tournaments due to his total domination of each and every opponent. Hitchcock managed to avenge an early season East-West All Star loss to Mel Renfro by scoring a lopsided 10-4 decision over the Washington foe in the NCAA Division I finals. Most of Shorty's success as a wrestler in his senior year at B.S.C . can be attributed to hard work, total dedication, and an undying desire to become a champion. Floyd Hitchcock went on to coach at Shamokin Area High School • after graduating from Bloomsburg State College in 1974. He then moved to the University of North Carolina where he started to work on his Masters degree and also served as assistant coach to head mentor, Bill Lam. Shorty later returned to his alma mater to complete his Masters degree work and assist present head coach, Roger B. Sanders . While assisting Coach Sanders at B.S.C., Shorty briefly returned to the wrestling scene to post victories in the annual Wilkes "Rose Bowl of Wrestling" Open and the Great Plains Open in Nebraska. Hitchcock, who is hoping to gain a berth on the 1980 Olympic team, is currently the head wrestling coach at Lake Lehman Area High School in Pennsylvania. The countless wrestling accomplishments of Floyd "Shorty" Hitchcock will always serve as an inspiration to future B.S.C. wrestlers and a monument to the fine wrestling tradition at Bloomsburg State College.

In vi tational. These three team performances seem to demonstrate the validity of Amateur Wrestling News' pre-season ranking of B.S.C. in the Top 20 Division I teams nationally. Four dual meets were wrestled in less than one week prior to Christmas vacation. Hope was running high, especially after· a sound victory (30-11) over the University of Pittsburgh. Cal Poly (ranked in the top 10) gave B.S.C.'s hope of an undefeated season a jolt w ith a convincing 29-8 victory. Thus B.S.C. went into the Wilkes Open during the last week of December with a 3-1 dual meet record. Even with a number of individuals wrestling up a weight, B.S.C. finished a close 2nd to Clarion State in the team I·ace. Following New Year's, but still during the semester b1·eak, B.S.C. easily defeated three Virginia Colleges in a quadrangular meet at George Mason University. In fact, one meet was a shut-out (59-0) and the other two came within one match of a shut-out - one draw and one decision prevented that. Two days later the team won the University of Delaware Invitational . \. -15- With the opening of the Spring Semester, came the heart of the dual meet season. But as has happened of !ate, the weather did not cooperate. Matches with Clarion and Shippensburg were cancelled because of the flu and never rescheduled. Another three dual meet victories set the stage for the Penn State match at B.S.C. With the outcome in doubt throughout the evening, Penn State finally pulled ahead in the final two bouts to come out on the top end of a 19-14 score. The defeat put the B.S.C . season record at 9-2. A good performance at Lock Haven State (25-8) was fol lowed by a poor one at the University of Buffalo (16-25) - a team which B.S.C. has yet to defeat in a dual meet . By this time the "flu bug" was already taking its toll as Clarion also lost to Buffalo. With the Pennsylvania Conference Tournament only one week off, predictions of the final team standings were practically non-existent. Most of the twelve conference teams were experiencing "flu" problems. A number of individuals were either held out of the tournament or withdrawn during competition. B.S.C. came home with a 3rd place finish, only ½ point out of second (Slippery Rock); Clarion was once again the team champion . Tony Caravella (150) and Andy Cappelli (177) won conference titles . 1 A dual with East Stroudsburg was cancelled the following week because of the "flu bug". The dual meet season ended with a big win over Millersville (33-6). Runner up NCAA Division 111 Champions. The Eastern Wrestling League Championships, the qualifying tournament for the NCAA - Division I Championships were hosted by B.S.C. during the first week of March. Cleveland State University and West Virginia University were competing for the first time as new members of the expanded EWL. B.S.C . sent 9 men into the semi-finals, but when the round was completed only 3 advanced to the finals: Tony Caravella (150), Dom DiGioacchino (177), and Mel Sharp (HWT). There were near misses at 126 - Tom Fink, 142 - Glenn Schneider, and 167 - Andy Cappelli. In the finals Tony defaulted, Dom beat Pfautz of Penn State, and Mel lost to Tim Payne of Cleveland State. The team standings were Penn State, Cleveland State, B.S.C., Pitt, Clarion, Lock Haven, and West Virginia . The NCAA Division I Championships were held at the University of Maryland, March 15-18. Tony won his first match but then lost to an eventual place winner from Arizona State. Dom (seeded 8th) and Mel both lost first round matches. All three were ineligible for wrestle-back competition since none of their opponents advanced to the semi-final round. Again to quote Coach Sanders, "I was particularly proud of this year's TEAM!" l -16- l ROGER B.

Virginia; Gary, an optometrist in Easton, Pa.; and Brian, a student at B.S.C . (Office Phone: 717-389-3411 -- Home Phone: 717-752-7578) . PERSPECTIVES ON THIS YEAR'S (1978-79) SEASON The Huskies have lost only two regulars from last year's squad . Gone are Tom Fink (126) and Chris Poff (158), though Chris is assisting Coach Sanders this season. Duane Powlus, the Husky Award winning freshman from Central Columbia High School, will sit out this season . However, the outstanding freshman wrestler two years ago, Bucky McCollum (Shikellamy H.S.), is returning after a shoulder injury and will move up to 158. Junior Tino Di Marco, who redshirted last year, will be back to battle for the HINT spot in the lineup. Bucky and Tino are former NCAA Division I qualifiers . -21- Leading the returning lettermen will be the team's outstanding wrestler, Tony Caravel la ( 150), who paced the team in points scored and received the Saga Trophy as the Outstanding B.S.C. Underclassman Athlete during the 1977-78 school year. Carl Poff, last year's captain and co-winner of the Husky Award, as well as the "OW" at the East Stroudsburg Open, will be back for his senior year at 134. Two other seniors, Andy Cappel Ii (up a weight to 177) and Mel Sharp ( 190 or HWT), along with junior Dom DiGioacchino (down a weight to 167) bring the number of returning Division I qualifiers to five. Together with Bucky and Tino, this gives Coach Sanders the likelihood of a lineup including seven wrestlers with Division I National Tournament experience. Additionally, there are returning letterman at the three remaining weights: Mike Nock - last year's outstanding freshman 118 pounder, Joe Dougherty - injured much of last year at 126, and senior Glenn Schneider - B.S.C.'s "most improved" wrestler at 142. Another of last year's excellent freshmen, Butch Snyder, will be battling for a varsity spot at 177 or 190. Andy and Mel will have to be at their i:Jest or will find themselves in the challenger's role. Sophomore Gibbes Johnson (142), with a great deal of experience and potential, will return to vie for starting position. Matty Simone transferred from Wilkes College and will be tough to keep out of the line up at 126. Leszek Radon, an internationally experienced freestyler, will be looking for a starting spot at 158 or 167, as will a number of returning J.V. performers. Freshmen with the best credentials include Don Reese (two-time Pa . State Champ from Hughesville) at 126 and Joe Wade (NJ State Champ) at 190. These two high school stars are joined by a large group of other prospects. • The 1978-79 schedule appears to be the toughest yet. The Huskies will meet perennial State College powers Clarion (Top Twenty), East Stroudsburg, Lock Haven, and Millersville (Division Ill powerhouse) . The EWL includes nationally ranked Cleveland State, University of Pittsburgh, and Penn State. Joining the dual meet schedule will be Cal Poly (Top Ten) and Eastern power Hofstra. Clemson, Ohio University and Akron University are new, as is Georgia . Duke, Montclair State, Temple, William & Mary, Virginia, and North Carolina will provide strong opposition in the various invitational tournaments on the schedule. With the abundance of top teams on the schedule, Nelson Field House will certainly see some great individual match-ups. In keeping with the Bloomsburg wrestling tradition, the 1978-79 season will certainly be one of the most exciting and hopefully the most successful. Coach Sanders would like to make this "the Year". l - 22 - SNOldWVH:J :ln9V:11 NH:llSV:I 8L6l SNOldWVH:J 3:JN:IH:l:INO:J VINVAlASNN:ld 8L6l 1978-79 BLOOMSBURG STATE ROSTER 118 POUNDERS Mike Nock Michael Nock Todd Cummings Bob Ortman Joe Schoffsta 11 Mark Walde So.
