1967

A squad of 13 has been working out for the past
several weeks in preparation for the coming season
during which the Huskies, under Coach Earl Voss,
will make a determined bid for the Pennsylvania
State College Athletic Conference basketball crown
that has been held by Cheyney State College for
several years.
Voss, starting his second year as head coach,
directed the Huskies to a respectable 12-8 record
last season in which some exciting basketball was
played. Although Coach Voss lost one of his mainstays, Mike Morrow, through academic difficulties,
the team finished the season winning 8 of its last
11 games.. Morrow and John Gara, both of whom
have graduated, are the only two players missing
from that combination which set B.S.C. records for
accuracy from the floor-46.7% for field goals and
71 % for foul shots. The team finished third in
PSCAC competition.
Voss has a good nucleus around which to build:
Jack Carney, who led the team in scoring last year
with a 19.4 average; Jim Dulaney, a 13.8 average;
Rick Fertig, a 14.8 average; Bob Matuza, a 10.1
average; and Palmer Toto, the playmaker who performs ball handling magic. A fine addition in the
height department is 6'7" Ed Burtsavage, a junior
from Berwick, who transferred from Cornell two
years ago and sat out last season.
Up from last year's frosh team that posted a
16-3 record are: Mark Yanchek, who had a 17.4 average; Bill Mastropietro, a 14.7 average; Jeff Hoch, a
14.7 average; Bob Snyder, a 14.1 average; Larry
Monaghan, a 10.4 average; Vincent Reagan, a 9.8
average; and Elzar Camper, a good rebounder. Richard Olson and Robert Kutcher are second semester
freshmen who will be eligible for varsity competition
in January.
The Huskies will open at home against the defending conference champions from Cheyney on
Saturday, December 2. They will again participate
in the Highspire (Pa.) Basketball Tourney during
the holidays as defending champions.
