TEAM OUTLOOK Since basketball and football are the only two varsity sports at Bloomsburg State College which do not permit freshmen participation, Coach Earl Voss will be relying on seven lettermen and 4 or 5 other promising candidates to carry the majority of the playing load in a season that includes 19 games plus two holiday tournaments. "When you lose your top scorer and rebounder, and your top playmaker through graduation, you have quite a gap to fill," Voss stated as initial practice sessions began. Gone from last year are 6'4" Jim Dulaney, 20.2 p .p.g.av. and 13 rebounds p.g.av. and Palmer Toto, a 5'11" ball magician who spearheaded last year's Husky attack. The Huskies might very well have a pair of dual playmakers in captain Bob Snyder, last year's second leading scorer with a 15.5 p.p.g.av., and Larry Monaghan, who does quite well in the ball handling department. Tom Wilson, another smooth ball handler, will also be available for back court duty. The leading candidate to take over where Dulaney left off is 6'4" Mark Yanchek, who could have a great year. The number one defensive specialist will still be 6'1" Bill Mastropietro. Snyder, along with Monaghan and Dennis Mummey, are expected to be the outside cord zippers. Ted Lawson, a 6'1" junior from Chester, was out last year due to an injury and may be a surprise performer this year. Jim Platukis, a West Hazleton product and a starter last year, will be back hitting the boards and should average in double figures. Promising sophomores include three performers from last year's freshmen squad that posted a 10-4 record. They are 6'5" Joe Dudeck from Shamokin, 6'5" Howard Johnson from New Castle, Delaware, 6'3" Paul Kuhn from Lebanon. Another prospect is Dave Suda, Wilkes-Barre, a transfer student from Luzerne County Junior College. Voss' philosophy is that a team with good morale will overcome many obstacles, and he has concentrated his efforts in this area in the many weeks of preseason practice sessions. "Although we expect to run a great deal, we are still building our hopes around a good defense," Voss stated. Competition in the Pennsylvania Conference should be better than ever this season.
