(The College switchboard ■ is open 9:00 a.m.-12 ;00 p.m., Monday-Saturday.) —2— THE COLLEGE’S HISTORY The beginnings of the college were laid in 1857, over one hundred years ago, when a band of Scotch Irish farmers grouped together and founded a private normal school at Edinboro by popular subscription to train teachers. In 1861 it was chartered by the Commonwealth as Pennsylvania’s second Normal School and developed and grew through service to the Commonwealth. A great forward stride was taken in 1914, when the Commonwealth pur­ chased Edinboro Normal School. In 1926, alerted to the need for better edu­ cated teachers for its schools, Pennsylvania made Edinboro a Teachers College offering a four-year curriculum leading to degrees of Bachelor of Science in Secondary, Elementary, and Art Education, and Library Science. In 1960 the name of the college was changed to Edinboro State College. Beginning in September of 1957, the college was empowered to grant degrees of Master of Education in Elementary Education. In September 1961, graduate study in secondary education was added to the graduate program. In 1962 the liberal arts degree program was begun. Students may prepare for various vocations as an arts and science major in the Humanities, Social Sciences, or Natural Sciences and may receive a Bachelor of Arts degree. The control of the College is vested in the Board of Trustees, composed of nine members appointed by the Governor of Pennsylvania. The Board of Trustees in turn elects the President of the College who is responsible for its administration. The State Superintendent of Public Instruction is an ex-officio member of the Board of Trustees. The College is accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education, the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, and the American Medical Association. In addition, its curriculums are registered by the New York State Department of Education. The College stresses friendly relations among students and faculty and informal student counseling and guidance. The faculty is keenly aware of pro­ fessional interests and self growth. High qualitative and quantitative standards distinguish the graduates of this college. The preparation of better educated citizens has been an Edinboro tradition for over a century. GENERAL INFORMATION LOCATION : Edinboro, Pennsylvania ENROLLMENT: 5,000 PRESIDENT: Chester T. McNerney CONFERENCE: PSCAC, NAIA GYMNASIUM: Crawford ATHLETIC DIRECTOR: Hank Mariotti NICKNAME: Highlanders COLORS: Red and White 1966-1967 RECORD: 10-10 HEAD COACH: Jim McDonald ASSISTANT COACH : Jim Christopher SPORTS INFORMATION DIRECTOR: Paul Newman PRESIDENT Dr. Chester T. McNerney became president of Edinboro State College in September, 1966. His formal inauguration, honoring him as Edinboro’s thirteenth president, followed on April 22, 1967. Dr. McNerney came to Edinboro from the Uni­ versity of Akron, where he was the Dean of the College of Education and was highly instrumental in the development of numerous educational inno­ vations. He was cited as the motivating force behind the University of Akron Classrooms Around the World, and recognized for his scholarly studies of comparative education abroad. Dr. McNerney’s primary areas of interest deal with the improvement of the curriculum, the pro­ gram for educational supervision and administration, Dr. Chester T. McNerney and the improvement of inter-personal relationships among the various members of working groups. His concern in this area has led to his writing of several books, lecturing and con­ ducting various workshops. Under Dr. McNerney’s guidance, the College has witnessed the growth of administrative operations, broader forms of student government, and the development of guides for the future growth of Edinboro State College. He is a man dedicated to the academic life, a tireless advocate of personal involvement in the religious and civic affairs of one’s community, and an edu­ cator who visibly believes in and practices total individual professional com­ mitment. EDINBORO STATE COLLEGE’S ATHLETIC PROGRAM Intercollegiate athletics play an important role in the total educational program of Edinboro State College. The program is so conducted as to assure wholesome use of leisure time, a healthy focal point for the experience and the expression of group spirit, and a laboratory experience for prospective coaches. Edinboro’s athletic program includes intercollegiate competition in foot­ ball, basketball, wrestling, golf, track, tennis, and baseball. The finest of facil­ ities are readily being made available to accommodate these sports. The most recent addition to Edinboro’s athletic plant is Sox Harrison Sta­ dium and Athletic Field. The stadium provides seating for 4,000 persons for football contests along with complete track facilities. Currently a baseball diamond of major league specifications is being constructed near the stadium. The field will cover six acres with a selected clay base infield and specially seeded playing area. Scheduled for construction in the near future is a new fieldhouse. The structure will include an intercollegiate basketball court, three intramural bas­ ketball courts, an AAU-sized swimming pool, wrestling and handball rooms, a steam room, a corrective gym, medical suite, and rifle range. Seating capacity of the sports arena will be approximately 4,500 with provisions for later expan­ sion to 7,000 provided. The continuing growth of Edinboro’s athletic program is rapidly estab­ lishing the College as a respected collegiate competitor. —5—' ATHLETIC DIRECTOR HEAD BASKETBALL COACH Mr. Hanio Mariotti is experiencing his second year as Director of Athletics of Edinboro State Col­ lege. After graduating from West Liberty, Mr. Mari­ otti taught and coached for fifteen years on the high school staff of the Allegheny Valley Joint Schools in Springdale, Pennsylvania. During his time there, he served as head baseball coach, assistant football coach and head trainer. Mr. Mariotti joined the Edinboro State College faculty in September of 1962. From 1962-1966 he has served as assistant football coach, trainer, tennis coach, intramural director, acting director of ath­ letics and teacher of health education via closed Hanio “Hank” Mariotti circuit educational television. Under Mr. Mariotti’s guidance, freshmen sched­ ules in track, tennis, and wrestling have been incor­ porated in the total athletic program. The addition of baseball as a collegiate sport at Edinboro became a reality through his efforts. In November of 1966, Mr. Mariotti was elected to serve a two-year term as vice president of the PSCAC. “Hank” is continually striving to upgrade the athletic program at Edin­ boro State College and to enhance the present facilities. HEAD OF THE HEALTH AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT Fred Caro is commencing his second year as head of the Health and Physical Education Depart­ ment. Prior to serving as an Edinboro State College faculty member, he gained his initial teaching and coaching experience at Tyrone Area High School in Tyrone, Pa. For three years Caro functioned as assistant coach of the football, wrestling, and track team at Tyrone High. In addition, he was an assist­ ant football coach at Williston Academy, Easthampton, Massachusetts for one year while completing academic requirements for his degree. During this time he also served as assistant wrestling coach at Springfield College. His coaching and teaching experience also in­ Fred Caro cludes tenure at Derry Area High School, Derry, Pa. At Edinboro Caro has served as assistant High­ lander football coach and head wrestling coach for four years. Caro received his B.S. degree in Physical Education from Lock Haven State College in 1958 and his M.S. degree from Springfield College, Springfield, Massachusetts. —6— Since his appointment as head coach in 1962, Jim McDonald has guided Edinboro State College to 3 Western Division PSCAC Basketball Champion­ ship titles and the NAIA District 18 Championship which earned Edinboro a trip to the NAIA Cham­ pionship Playoff in Kansas City, Missouri. In 1966 McDonald was selected by the coaches of the East­ ern Seaboard States to be the Area 8 Basketball Coach of the Year and was honored as one of the top ten finalists in the NAIA’s Coach of the Year poll for his outstanding accomplishments in the coaching profession. This season will mark his sixth year at the Highlander helm. Jim McDonald Prior to accepting his current position at Edin­ boro in 1961, McDonald served as assistant basket­ ball coach at Harborcreek High School in Erie, Pa. He is a 1956 graduate of Bridgeport High School in Bridgeport, West Virginia. As a player, Jim McDonald has been associated with the sport of basket­ ball for many years. He attended West Virginia Wesleyan College, where he participated as a varsity “Mountaineer” for four seasons. During his collegi­ ate basketball career McDonald was selected as an All-American for two years by the UPI and the NAIA as a result of his outstanding athletic abilities which he displayed on the basketball court. McDonald reached the climax of his ath­ letic career with the Mountaineers in his senior year, 1960, when he was ranked as the second leading scorer in the nation with his outstanding average of slightly over 33 points a game in regular season competition. In that same year, he was chosen to try out for the United States Olympic Basketball Team at Denver, Colorado. In addition, McDonald’s excellent performance in the Na­ tional NAIA Post-Season Basketball Tournament, held annually in Kansas City, Mo., earned him the honor of being named to the NAIA’s All-Tourna­ ment Team for two consecutive years, 1959 and 1960. In his five years at Edinboro, Coach McDonald has registered a total of 63 victories in 96 regular season intercollegiate encounters. He posted his best mark during the 1965-1966 season where his cagers rang up a regular season record of 16-3 and finished with an 18-5 ledger after tournament play. Several Edinboro basketball records have fallen since his appointment as the Scot’s head coach. Under McDonald’s tutelage Edinboro State College is rapidly earning respect in the small college circuits of the East. The Scots have never experi­ enced a losing season under his guidance. In addition, two Edinboro cagers have garnered All-American honors since 1965. Winning has become a tradition in the McDonald camp. The 1967-1968 edition of Highlander hardwooders will strive to keep the Scots in the win column. -7- ASSISTANT BASKETBALL COACH Jim Christopher Entering his second year as assistant basketball coach and head freshman roundball coach is Jim Christopher. He came to Edinboro after serving as assistant basketball coach for two years at Carthage College in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Christopher is a native of Chicago. Illinois. He graduated in 1958 from Lake View High School where he received honors in both basketball and baseball. He earned his B.S. degree from Carthage College in 1962. Christopher’s coaching career began at Carthage High School where he served as head basketball and baseball mentor. He later accepted a post at ZionBenton High School assisting in basketball and baseball for one year. In addition to his basketball duties, Christopher is also the head baseball coach and a physical edu­ cation instructor at Edinboro. TEAM TRAINER Bob Klingler is commencing his first year on the Scot’s staff as team trainer. His valuable back­ ground of medical knowledge is also utilized in assisting with health courses at the College. Klingler graduated from Lock Haven State Col­ lege in 1952 with a B.S. degree and then ventured to Hermann School of Physical Therapy in Houston, Texas, where he became a registered physical thera­ pist in 1954. He received his M.S. from Bucknell University in Lewisburg, Pa. and taught at Milton Hershey, a private boys’ school in Hershey, Pa., prior to accept­ ing his post at Edinboro. Mr. Klingler and his wife, Jill, reside in Edin­ boro. Bob Klingler SPORTS INFORMATION DIRECTOR Mr. Paul Newman began his duties this past July as Edinboro’s first Sports Information Director. Mr. Newman is a 1964 graduate of Edinboro where he earned a B.S. degree with a major in English. Prior to his appointment at the College, he held a teaching position with the Buckeye Local Schools in Ashtabula, Ohio for 3 years. He served as a cross country coach and assistant track coach at Edgewood Senior High School in Ashtabula, Ohio. Mr. Newman and his wife, Connie, with oneyear-old Paul, Jr. live in Conneaut, Ohio. Paul Newman 1967-1968 OUTLOOK PLAYER PROFILES Edinboro coach Jim McDonald seems to be unusually cautious in his pre­ dictions about the ’67-’68 edition of Highlander hardwooders. '‘I hope that we can play at least 500 ball this season,” says McDonald. “Even though we have seven returning lettermen, we don’t have a starter back from second semester of last year.” CENTERS DON DOUGAN, 6-7, 215, Sr., Erie, Pa. After missing a season of varsity competition, Don returns to the Highlander hardwood with impressive credentials. He turned in a fine performance as a shooter and rebounder in his first three seasons at Edinboro. He currently ranks as the sixth highest scorer in Edinboro history and follows only Little All-Americans Dan Pet­ chel and Darryl Meachem in rebounding marks. Dougan holds a PSCAC and Edinboro rebounding record of 38 grabs in one game. He’s a good shooter for a big man. MAJOR; MATHEMATICS Yet, the prospects are not as dim as they might appear. The Scots should find the boards to their liking this year with 6'9" sopho­ more Walt EYick, a New Jersey product, and 6'7" senior Don Dougan from Erie, Pa. scheduled to do the big work underneath. Unich demonstrated his wares by leading the freshman squad with a fine 24.8 points a game average. Dougan missed last season, but currently ranks sixth in the Highlander record books under career total points with one year of his varsity competition re­ maining to be played. He also holds both an Edinboro and PSCAC individual record of 38 rebounds in one game. Dougan follows only Edinboro Little AllAmericans Darryl Meachem and Dan Petchel in career rebounding marks. Junior forward, 6T" Frank Smith, gives the Highlanders one of the best potential scoring threats in the nation’s small colleges. As a sophomore sensa­ tion, Frank sported an average of 30.1 points in nine varsity appearances. His 54-point effort against Fredonia State established another Edinboro mark. Unfortunately, the Highlanders lost his scoring services the second semester as he was declared academically ineligible. A loss like that this year would certainly jolt Edinboro’s hopes of a successful season. WALTER UNICK, 6-9, 240, Soph., Wharton, New Jersey. “Mickey” led the freshman squad in scoring last season with a 24.8 points a game average while hauling down 291 rebounds. He’s a fine shooter for a big man and possesses good moves under the bucket. He has unlimited potential and could be one of the best ball players at Edinboro if he gains some determination. “Mickey” won a Second Team, All-State berth while attending Morris Hills High School in New Jersey. MAJOR: ELEMENTARY EDUCATION Mickey Unick FORWARDS Harry Jenkins, 6'4" junior, Dave Miller, 6'2" senior, and Larry Smith, 6'2" junior, give the Scots the needed depth at the forward spots. HARRY JENKINS, 6-4, 165, Jr., Clarksburg, West Virginia. Harry will be fighting for a starting guard assign­ ment this year after seeing limited action each game last season. He is an excellent shooter and has tremendous jumping ability for his size. His weight hinders him in rebounding with the big men, but his quickness and determination offset this. Harry earned an Honorable Mention award to the 1966-’67 PSCAC Western Division All-Star Team. During his basketball career at Bridge­ port Senior High School, he won All-County, All-Sec­ tion, and All-State honors. MAJOR: ELEMENTARY EDUCATION McDonald’s greatest concern is the guards who will run the Scot’s offense. “Our guards are small and will have to come on strong to give us a good season.” Outstanding guard prospects include Tim Ziner, a 5T0" sophomore and Ron Weaver and Jim Robinson, both 5T0" juniors. All three have seen varsity duty, but none are tested starters. McDonald is counting on the development of his inexperienced guards to make the Highlanders as strong offensively as they have been in the past. The Scots will once again specialize in the fast break which has been so devastatingly effective in past campaigns. FRANK SMITH, 6-1, 198, Jr., Bentleyville, Pa. Frank was busy rewriting the Edinboro record books as a sophomore last season. Against Fredonia State, he poured 54 points through the nets to establish a new Highlander mark. Unfortunately, he was declared academically ineligible the second semester after aver­ aging a torrid 30.1 points in nine games. Most of his points are earned through his quick moves. He is decep­ tive for his size and gets a quick step on his opponents. MAJOR: ELEMENTARY EDUCATION Clarion and California are tagged as the teams to beat in Edinboro’s quest for its fourth Western Division PSCAC toga since 1961. The Highlanders face these two ball clubs in back-to-back contests early in the season and once again in back-to-back encounters in the last two scheduled conference frays. A sign beneath the glass on Coach McDonald’s desk reads “K.C. or Bust.” It serves as a personal reminder to his ball players of the goal that he has set for his teams. —10- Frank Smith —11- p t guards DAVE MILLER, 6-2, 175, Sr., Sharon, Pa. Dave was selected captain of the ’67-’68 Highlander squad. Coach McDonald has much praise for Miller. “He possesses one of the finest attitudes that I’ve seen while coaching at Edinboro.” Dave is both a hustler and a leader on the court. He has good speed and is an excel­ lent rebounder for his 6-2 frame. In early practices, he has shown a tremendous improvement in his abilities in comparison with past performances. Dave has won three letters while competing in Edinboro’s basketball pro­ gram. MAJOR: MATHEMATICS TIM ZINER, 5-9, 160, Jr., Bethel Park, Pa. Tim Ziner Tim will most likely serve as the Highlanders’ playmaker this year. He is an all-around guard who has all the necessary tools. Tim is the type of player that holds a ball team together. Not only is he strong offensively where he runs the fast break well, but he is also a strong defensive man. Unfortunately, Tim was ineligible the second half of last season and saw action in only eight games. He received a First Team All-Section berth to culminate his basketball career at Bethel Park High School. MAJOR:GEOGRAPHY ROD HERRON, 6-5, 207, Jr., Jackson Center, Pa. RON WEAVER, 5-10, 170, Jr., Pittsburgh, Pa. Following the 1965-66 season, Rod won the “Hustle and Desire Award” given by the coaches. Rod is an aggressive ballplayer who gives 100% eft'ort all the time. He performs at the center post as well as at the forward spot. Rod is also known for his baseball talents. He was selected as one of the most valuable pitchers on the 196667 Highlander baseball team. MAJOR: ELEMENTARY EDUCATION Ron is another quick man on the court. He is one of the best ball handlers on the team and will be vying for a starting guard position. His shooting has improved considerably. Ron has great potential as a varsity player because of his hustle on both offense and defense. He has surprised the coaches with his determination to win a spot in the starting line-up. He saw limited action during the ’66-67 campaign. MAJOR:GEOGRAPHY I LARRY SMITH, 6-2, 185, Jr., Brookville, Pa. JIM ROBINSON, 5-10, 155, Jr., Leechburg, Pa. Larry’s strongest asset is “desire.” He’s a solid ball player who makes very few mistakes and exhibits great poise under pressure. Coach McDonald claims, “Larry could be one of the best sixth men in Edinboro history.” Occasionally he will see spotty action at one of the guard spots. While attending Brookville Area High School, Larry won a First Team berth on the All-District squad. He has won two letters in basketball at Edinboro. MAJOR: ELEMENTARY EDUCATION Larry Smith Jim did an excellent job as a second semester starter last year. His strongest point is his outside shooting ability. Jim is the type of ball player who can break a game wide open with his long range accuracy. At Kiski Area High School he earned All-Section, All-County, and All-Kiski Valley honors. His speed also gives him an edge in the offensive department. MAJOR: LIBERAL ARTS Jim Robinson TOM CARR, 6-0, 160, Soph., Pittsburgh, Pa. NORM EATON, 6-1, 185, Soph., Springdale, Pa. Norm earned a mid-season starting assignment on last year’s freshman team. He was a Second Team AllSectional winner at Springdale High School before he became a member of the “clan.” Norm is an excellent jumper and is expected to control the defensive boards. Freshman Coach, Jim Christopher, rates Norm as “the most improved freshman forward.” He hauled down 45 rebounds in 9 freshman games last year. MAJOR: BIOLOGY Norm Eaton Tom Carr In one freshman game last season Tom scorched the nets for a personal career high of 47 points. It was also the most points any member of the freshman squad scored in any single outing. He is another strong outside shooter. If he develops his ball handling abilities, he could be a big help to the Scots this year. As a frosh regular he poured 148 points through the hoops to main­ tain an impressive 10.6 a game average. While perform­ ing for North Allegheny High School, Tom was chosen as an All-Section winner. MAJOR: ELEMENTARY EDUCATION -13— -12- ? DAN MILLER, 5-10, 170, Soph., Uniontown, Pa. Coach Christopher tagged Dan “one of the most improved guards up from the freshman group.” He worked hard this past summer to improve his shooting and will push hard to break into the starting unit. Dan doesn’t know what the word “quit” means. He was a member of the Fayette County All-Star team during his senior year at St. John’s High School. MAJOR: SCIENCE ti Dan Miller NICK KUNICH, 5-8, 137, Soph., Pittsburgh, Pa. Nick saw limited action as reserve guard on the frosh squad. Nick is the playmaker type who will look to pass before he shoots. He’s rated as fair outside shooter, but needs to improve his overall speed and ball handling. He has the competitive spirit that will drive him to over­ come these inabilities. MAJOR: ELEMENTARY EDUCATION Nick Kunich MANAGERS HEAD MANAGER PAT BEMIS, Soph., Oil City, Pa. Pat joins the varsity team as manager after a year of competition on the freshman team. Pat attended Oil City Senior High School. MAJOR: MATHEMATICS Pat Bemis ASSISTANT MANAGER TOM MOXIE, Soph., Penn Hills, Pa. Tom will assist in the managerial duties. He was a member of last year’s frosh team and graduated from Penn Hills High School. MAJOR: LIBERAL ARTS Tom Moxie -14- highlander FRESHMEN Edinboro’s freshman crop is studded with outstanding prospects who will perform on the Highlander hardwoods this season. Six freshman players, hailing mostly from the Chicago area of Illinois, have joined the ranks of Coach Jim Christopher’s yearling team. Leading the pack of Illini is 6-10 Art Dickinson from Crystal Lal:e. Art was the fourth highest scorer in the North Suburban Conference while averag­ ing close to nineteen points a game. His highest single output came during tournament play as he dumped 40 points through the hoop in his last tourney game. All-Conference, All-Tournament, and Honorable Mention All-State win­ ner, Ron Burton, will also wear a Scot uniform this fall. Ron, a 6-5. 700 pound­ er, averaged 19.1 points a game and had the best free throw and field goal p<"rcentage in the area. He is a graduate of Collinsville High School, Collinsville, Illinois. The contingent includes three standout guards: 6-2^2 Crajg Hiett from Winthrop Harbor; 5-11 Ray Overholt, Brookfield, and 5-9 Burk Krohe from Northbrook, Illinois. Hiatt with a 22 points a game average was the lepding scorer in his conference and won spots on the All-Conference and All-Lake County teams. Overholt’s talents earned him All-State Honorable Mention, and All-Suburban Conference honors. Krohe, playmaker for Glenbrook North, was tagged a member of the All-Chicago-Land Area Team by the Chicago Tribune. Rounding out the group is 6-5 forward, Doug Etzel. Doug, a top rebound­ er, also earned conference and area recognition. He was rated the MVP at Dundee High School in Carpentersville, Illinois. Dave Knowlton, a standout guard from Mercer High School, has joined the list of star performers on the freshman squad. Knowlton, a 6-1, 160-pound playmaker, was a member of the Mustang team that captured the ClassB State Championship in ’66 and ’67. He received an Honorable Mention All-State rating and was selected to play in the “Dapper Dan” Roundball Classic in Pittsburgh. While guiding the Mercer team to the state toga, Knowlton averaged 12.6 points a game and tallied 381 assists. He was the squad’s leading foul shooter hitting on 82% of his attempts from the charity stripe. Another Highlander hopeful, 6-5, 207-pound Bill Hale from West Carroll­ ton High School in Dayton, Ohio will vie for a forward spot on the frosh team. Hale was an Honorable Mention All-State winner in Ohio. In his senior year he averaged 16.4 points a game and 13.6 rebounds an outing. Also added are the talents of 6-7, 220-pound Jim Mann from Wyandotte, Michigan, and 6-3, 195-pound Mike Burke, Bevier, Missouri, to the list of frosh hopefuls. Mann set an all-time rebounding record at Theodore Roosevelt High School while averaging 18 points a game. He received All-Area, All-League, and All-State Honorable Mention honors. Highlander Coach, Jim McDonald says, “Mann is exceptionally strong on the boards. He and Art Dickinson (6-9) should give the freshman team excellent rebounding strength.” Burke was an Honorable Mention winner on Missouri’s All-State Team. Mike is a constant offensive threat in the line-up. He averaged 20 points a game as a forward for Bevier High School’s basketball team. —15— 1967-1968 EDINBORO STATE COLLEGE FRESHMAN TEAM L-R: Pat Bemis (mgr.), Tom Moxie (mgr.), Dan Smith, Dave Knowiton, Craig Hiatt, Bill Hale, Doug Etzel, Art Dick­ inson, Jim Mann, Ron Burton, Bob Schofield, Mike Burke, Ray Overholt, Burk Krohe, and James Christopher, coach. 1967-1968 HIGHLANDER BASKETBALL TEAM Varsity Roster White Red 10 11 12 13 15 14 20 21 22 23 25 24 30 31 32 33 35 34 40 41 42 43 50 51 52 53 54 55 *Lettermen Name Ziner, Tim ’‘ Robinson, Jim Miller, Dan *Jenkins, Harry *Smith, Larry Carr, Tom * Weaver, Ronald *Smith, Frank Eaton, Norman *Miller, David *Dougan, Donald Herron, Rod Unick, Walter Kunich, Nick Pos.

Of the 20 members on the squad, 15 are freshmen. Four lettermen will provide the nucleus of a team in the rebuilding stages. Among the returnees are guards Tom Cun­ ningham and Mike Fleischauer. Fleischauer was the number three scorer on last season’s team as he averaged 12.1 points a game and shot 44% from the floor. Cunningham hit at a 9.6 clip during the ’66-’67 cage season. Heading the newcomers who should provide strength underneath are a pair of 6-6 lads. Jack Kiger and Joe Sipe. SLIPPERY ROCK STATE COLLEGE Dec. 5 — at Slippery Rock, Feb. 8 — at Edinboro Location: Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania Enrollment: 3,206 Nickname: Rockets Colors: Green and White Athletic Director: Dr. Bradley Keith Head Coach: Henry Baierl Sports News: Joseph P. Mancini Gymnasium: Morrow Field House Conferences: PSCAC, NAIA, NCAA 1966-1967 Record: 14-11 Lettermen Returning: 1 Last Gam|s^C OUTLOOK: The Rockets once again don’t have heighth, but proved last season that they don’t need it. Tallest man on last season’s squad was 6-3 senior, Jim Stewart. In spite of the size problem, the “Rock” posted a winning season and fought its way to a secondplace tie in the Western Division of the PSCAC with Edinboro. Both teams held identical 5-3 conference slates. This year’s squad will be paced by 6-2 Ed Maslyk, a senior from New Castle, Pa. He is the lone returning letterman. The Rockets will again be a tough .►foe on their home court. LOCK HAVEN STATE COLLEGE Dec. 9 — at Edinboro, Jan. 27 — at Lock Haven Location: Lock Haven, Pennsylvania Enrollment: 1,995 Nickname: Bald Eagles Colors: Maroon and Gray Athletic Director: Stephen Jacobs Head Coach: Stanley Daley Sports News: Joe Lippincott Gymnasium: Thomas Field House Conferences: PSCAC, NAIA, NCAA 1986-1967 Record: 3-14 Lettermen Returning: 3 Last Games: 1967, ESC won 99-77, 90-64 OUTLOOK: Gone are three of five starters from the 1966-1967 roundball club. The Bald Eagles are another team that’s facing a rebuilding season. Tom McClain, a 6-0 senior, will probably nail down the center post with Steve Daley, a 6-0 senior at a forward spot, and Jim Young, a 5-10 junior, as one of the starting guards. The team is small and will rely on speed acquired through pre-season conditioning. The biggest bright spot is the influx of a promising group of freshmen. The Bald Eagles can be hot on their home court where they upset conference winner, California, last year. —22- Location: Clarion, Pennsylvania Enrollment: 3,030 Nickname: Golden Eagles Colors: Blue and Gold Athletic Director: Frank Lignelli Head Coach: John Jay Sports News: Willard Mecklenburg Gymnasium: Harvey Conference: PSCAC, NAIA 1966-1967 Record: 9-14 Lettermen Returning: 3 Last Games: 1967, ESC won 73-71, 85-75 OUTLOOK: The Golden Eagles always make it tough on conference contenders and this year should be no different. Leading the pack is 6-2 junior Dan Gallegos from Erie, Pa. Larry Chalmers, a 5-9 junior guard, and Matt Pasky, a 6-5 junior center, are the other veteran returnees. Newcomers to the varsity include 5-10 Dennis Luce, 6-0 Jim Carter, 6-3 George Lawry, and 5-11 Bob Martin. The Eagles posted a 2-6 slate in the conference last season, but should be on the way back to the top with experienced ballplayers. CALIFORNIA STATE COLLEGE Dec. 16 — at California, Feb. 17 — at Edinboro Location: California, Pennsylvania Enrollment: 5,129 Nickname: Vulcans Colors: Red and Black Athletic Director: Eugene Hester Head Coach: Myles Witchey Sports News: Robert Wood Gymnasium: Hamer Hall Conference: PSCAC, NAIA 1966-1967 Record: 16-10 Lettermen Returning: 3 Last Games: 1967, ESC lost 92-87, 31-26 . OUTLOOK: The Vulcans were Western Division Champions of the PSCAC last year a 6-1 slate. With the additions from their strong freshman team, the Fighting Vuls should once again be in contention for conference laurels. Pacesetter for California is 6-2 senior, Pat Hobart who scorched the nets for a 22.4 average in conference action and a ^verage overall. Adding scoring punch to the offensive machine are lettermen Dave Bobak and George Roadman. FREDONIA Dec. 19 — at Fredonia Location: Fredonia, New York Enrollment: 2,800 Nickname: Blue Devils Colors: Blue and White Athletic Director: Joseph Keyser Head Coach: William Hughes Sports News: Robert Hesse Gymnasium: Dods Hall Conferences: SUNYAC, NAIA, NCAA 1966-1967 Record: 7-13 Lettermen Returning: 4 Last Game: 1967, ESC won 110-64 OUTLOOK: The big question confronting the Blue Devils this season is how quickly they can jell into a solid ball club. The squad will be built around four lettermen and eight sophomores and freshmen. 6-1 senior, Jeff Wallace, along with sophomore Tom Scaglione should lead the team’s scoring punch. A new coach and a new system will also take its toll m itme. The Blue Devils are building. INDIANA UNIVERSITY OF PA. Jan. 5 — at Edinboro^ Feb. 10 — at Indiana Location: Indiana, Pennsylvania Enrollment: 6,750 Nickname: Big Indians Colors: Red and WhiteAthletic Director: Charles Klausing Head Coach: Herm Sledzik Sports News: Larry Judge Gymnasium: Memorial Field House Conference: NAIA, NCAA 1966-1967 Record: 11-12 Lettermen Returning: 9 Last Games: 1967, ESC lost 95-94, 85-77 (continued) —23— OUTLOOK: The Big Indians came on strong to close out action last season by winning 6 of their last 8 games. The Tribe lost only two seniors, Don Douds and Bob Kolp. Gary Lupek, who led the scoring race with 410 points and a 17.8 average, returns along with senior Dick Crawford who led the team in the rebounding department with 269 grabs. Crawford also pitched in a respectable 341 points last season. Jim Demach, a 5-11 guard from Ellwood City, will be expected to run the team. The Big Indians will prove to be another powerful independent in the 1967-’68 cage campaign. MANSFIELD STATE COLLEGE Jan. 6 — at Edinboro, Jan. 26 — at Mansfield Sports News: Mrs. Lois Messersmith Gymnasium: College Gym Conference: PSCAC, NAIA 1966-1967 Record: 11-8 Lettermen Returning: 7 Last Games: Location: Mansfield, Pennsylvania Enrollment: 2,300 Nickname: Mountaineers Colors: Black and Red Athletic Director: Robert H. Moore Head Coach: Edward Wilson 1967, ESC won 88-73, ESC lost 77-71 OUTLOOK: Ed Wilson will be starting his first year as the Mountaineers’ head coach after serving as assistant coach for the past year. In 1961, 1962, and 1964, The Mounties won the state toga in the PSCAC. On two of these occasions Edinboro was the squad the Mountaineers defeated to win the laurels. Mansfield appears to be ready for the quest of the crown once again. Seven returning lettermen bolster a squad^ that lost only one senior through graduation. Experienced ball players who have good heighth and excellent speed spell another winning season for the Mounties. ALLIANCE Jan. 9 — at Edinboro, Jan. 29 — at Alliance Location: Cambridge Springs, Pennsylvania Enrollment: 600 Nickname: Eagles Colors: Red and White Athletic Director: Thaddeus T. Haluch Head Coach: Thaddeus T.

Located a mere seven miles apart, the Scots and the Eagles are natural arch-rivals. Vet­ erans Dave Krumenacker, Walt Dotegowski, John Stano, Bob Edmiston, and John Sadowski form th nucleus of a potent 8-lettermen club. Stano serves as the team’s playmaker while 6-5 senior Dotegowski. is the squad’s number one rebounder. The Eagles have the experienced personnel to forge a winning season.

Three other cagers who saw limited action la_st_season are 6-4 Jim Furlong, 6-0 Dave Warren, and 5-8 Leo Johnson. Top freshmen joining the squad are 6-2 All-Cleveland selection, Sam Thomas, and 5-10 Cleveland Watson. Both boys were members of last year’s Cleveland East Tech five which was second in the Ohio State Championship playoffs. 6-5 Ralph Tavicic, a junior college transfer, and 6-4 Dave Atkinson, a freshman who averaged 21 points a game in high school, will give the Vikings plenty of board strength. ROBERTS WESLEYAN Feb. 13 — at Roberts Wesleyan Location: North Chili, New York Enrollment: 700 Nickname: Raiders Colors: Red and White Athletic Director: John A. Fraser Head Coach: John A. Fraser Sports News: Don Stewart Gymnasium: Churchville-Chili Conference: Independent, NAIA 1966-1967 Record: 20-5 Lettermen Returning: 7 Last Game: 1967, ESC won 89-78 OUTLOOK: The Raiders compiled an outstanding regular season record of 20 wins and 3 losses during the 1966-’67 campaign.

Don Sheffield, 5-11 junior guard (21.0), Jerry O’Neil, 6-3 junior forward (17.5), and Joe Petruny, 5-8 senior guard (12.3), were the three top scorers in 1967 who will return once again to the Geneva hard­ woods. The fourth returning starter is 6-5 junior forward, Ron Coleman, who was sixth in scoring and second in rebounding. The fifth man will be either 5-11 Ray Hoppa, 6-1 Glenn Opfer, 6-2 Rick Rajdowski, or 6-0 Denny Hopper. GROVE CITY Feb. 26 — at Edinboro Location: Grove City, Pennsylvania Enrollment: 2,000 Nickname: Wolverines, Grovers Color: Crimson Athletic Director: R.

Wayne Fox Gymnasium: Grove City Arena Conference: Independent, NCAA 1966-1967 Record: 14-10 Lettermen Returning: 6 Last Game: 1965, ESC won 99-89 OUTLOOK: The Bobcats turned the tables on the Highlanders last season by sur­ prising them in overtime 85-83. This year’s Wesleyan team appears to have average heighth along with good speed. Senior Don Butcher will pace the Bobcats in the rebounding depart­ ment. Senior Wayne Olexa and junior David Morton will supply the necessary offensive punch. This year’s encounter will mark only the second meeting between the Scots and the Bobcats. (continued) OUTLOOK: Six lettermen and three of last year’s starters return to form the nucleus of a talent-laden Grove City team. Most outstanding is junior Jeff Claypool, a two-year letterman, and the highest scorer in the history of Grove City College. Jeff, 6-6 from Lex­ ington, Ohio, has 1,016 points in two seasons and is recognized as one of the biggest stars in the local area in many years. Claypool holds the school records for most points scored in a game and season, most field goals scored in a game and season, most free throws scored in a season, and best field goal average in a game and a season. —24— —25—' The Scots got otf to a fast start as the McDonald five upended a highlyrated Mansfield team, 88-73. The Highlanders were paced by sophomore Frank Smith with 25 points and senior Lynn Nelson who tallied 17. After a heart­ breaking 93-90 loss to Alliance College, the Highlanders reeled off 3 straight victories over Slippery Rock, Lock Haven, and Clarion. At this point the Scots were 3-0 in the conference and 4-1 overall. The Vulcans of California State Col­ lege handed the Highlanders their second loss of the young season by the score of 92-87 at Crawford Gym. Fredonia State from New York invaded Edinboro, only to wish they hadn’t, as the Highlanders set a school scoring record by trouncing the Blue Devils 110-64. Frank Smith, the sophomore from Bentleyville-Ellsworth, ripped the cords for 54 points that night and broke Dan Petchel’s single game scoring mark of 40 points established against Alliance College in the 1964-1965 season. Smith connected on 21 field goals to top Petchel’s record of 17. After Christmas vacation the Highlanders traveled to Waynesburg, where they rewrote the record books once again. The Scots outgunned the Yellow Jackets 123-97. The 123 points set a new team record, and the 48 field goals topped all previous totals. The Highlanders closed out the first half of the season with a spine tingl­ ing 95-94 loss at the hands of Indiana University of Pa. At the halfway mark the Scots had won 6 of 9 games with Smith setting the pace in the conference in scoring with a 29.0 average and a 30.1 overall average. The Highlanders as a team were averaging 95 points a game and shooting 53% from the field. Edinboro looked as if it had the inside track to another Western Division title in the PSCAC until suddenly the roof caved in. Highlander Coach Jim McDonald learned that sophomore sensation Erank Smith, junior co-captain Don Klingensmith and backcourt ace Tim Ziner were academically ineligible to play the second semester. With the loss of these three vital men of the team, the Highlanders lost an average of more than 44 points and 22 rebounds a game. Two transfer students Erancis Hurley and Jerry Yoakam became eli­ gible the second semester. Hurley bolstered the rebounding loss and Yoakam added scoring punch, but consistency became the big problem. The High­ landers bowed in overtime to W.Va. Wesleyan, 85-83, to begin the second half of play. After a semester of ineligibility Darryl Meachem returned to the hard­ woods and the Highlanders responded with a convincing 90-64 victory over Lock Haven, only to drop a 77-71 tilt at Mansfield. The Scots then proceeded to nip Alliance, 67-66, and lose to Cleveland State University, 75-71. Nation­ ally ranked Roberts Wesleyan came to Edinboro and the Highlanders rose to the occasion with a surprising 89-78 win. Disaster followed the Roberts Wesleyan as Edinboro dropped four games in a row to be eliminated from winning the conference. Slippery Rock, Indiana, Geneva, and California were the four teams who put a stop to any PSCAC laurels. Then, on Eeb. 21 with their season record at 9 wins and 10 losses, the Highlanders hosted the Golden Eagles of Clarion State College for the season finale. The result was an 85-75 victory, giving the Scots a .500 season. Although playing only the first half of the year, Erank Smith ended the season as the team’s number one scorer with 271 points and a 30.1 points a game scoring average. Senior Lynn Nelson finished the season as the second leading scorer, while Tim Maloney, Harry Jenkins, Darryl Meachem, Jerry Yoakam, and Butch Hurley rounded out the top scorers with more than 100 points for the year. —26- BY SEASONS results 1966-1967 SUMMARY Year 1928-29 1929-30 1930-31 1931-32 1932-33 1933-34 1934-35 1935-36 1936-37 1937-38 1938-39 1939-40 1940-41 1941-42 1942-43 1943-44 1944-45 1945-46 1946-47 1947-48 Games 14 w L POINTS For iAgainst 12 2 640 8 6 436 5 562 10 567 12 11 1 (Being Researched) 5 13 519 8 381 14 15 10 17 15 360 469 576 374 492 694 655 1 1 34 376 50 War War 5 0 15 7 15 4 5 175 702 784 266 680 846 8 11 1953-54 1954-55 1955-56 1956-57 1957-58 1958-59 419 2 4 4 9 13 2 8 13 11 4 1948-49 1949-50 1950-51 1951-52 1952-53 409 409 332 (Being Researched) 5 5 10 366 7 13 6 529 582 14 6 8 1959-60 1969-61 1961-62 1962-63 1963-64 1964-65 1965-66 1966-67 604 577 333 Year Totals Games w L POINTS For Against 872 7 858 9 5 978 12 910 9 9 1,227 1,227 18 18 6 12 1,128 1,276 (Being Researched) (Being Researched) 16 17 (Being Researched) 20 4 16 1,290 1,587 5 14 1,477 1,594 19 21 10 11 1,574 1,652 8 12 1,668 1,761 (Being Researched) 21 6 15 1,403 1,546 7 1,748 1,593 24 17 20 11 9 1,454 1,347 22 16 6 1,808 1,649 18 10 8 1,535 1,393 5 1,868 1,673 23 18 20 20 10 10 1,686 1,576 494 264 ;230 29,772 28,784 TOP TEN CAREER SCORERS 1.

Its membership originally consisted of the 14 state colleges: Bloomsburg, California, Cheyney, Clarion, East Stroudsburg, Edinboro, In­ diana, Kutztown, Lock Haven, Mansfield, Millersville, Shippensburg, Slippery Rock, and West Chester. In 1966 Indiana no longer was eligible for conference laurels as it acquired university status. The conference is divided into a Western Division and an Eastern Divi­ sion. Members of the Eastern Division include Bloomsburg, Cheyney, East Stroudsburg, Kutztown, Mansfield, Millersville, Shippensburg, and West Ches­ ter, while Edinboro, California, Clarion, Lock Haven, and Slippery Rock com­ prise the Western Division. In basketball, the conference champions of both leagues face each other at the end of the season to determine the PSCAC championship. All 13 state colleges that compete in the PSCAC belong to the NAIA, while many are also NCAA members. —34— ESC Alliance Fredonia Alliance Clarion Slippery Rock Alliance California Lock Haven Allegheny Fredonia Lock Haven Walsh Indiana Waynesburg Fredonia Waynesburg 119 100 100 107 101 114 102 103 102 106 109 104 100 104 110 123 OPP.

Home Away Home Home Away Away Home Home Home Home Away Away Away Home Home Away Away Away Home Away Home WHAT IS A BASKETBALL PLAYER? EDINBORO STATE COLLEGE Between the innocence of boyhood and the dignity of man, we find a sturdy creature called a basketball player. Basketball players come in assorted weights, heights, jersey colors, and numbers, but all players have the same creed: to play every second of every minute of every period of every game to the best of their ability. A MODERN CAMPUS ... Teammates rib them, officials penalize them, students cheer them, kid brothers idolize them, coaches criticize them, girls adore them, and mothers worry about them. To the fans, when he makes a mistake, he is incompetent, careless, inde­ cisive, lazy, uncoordinated and stupid. To an opponent, he has the speed of a deer, the strength of an ox, the size of an elephant, the cunningness of a fox, the agility of an adagio dancer, the quickness of a cat and is “Wilt the Stilt” and Oscar Robertson combined. To newspaper reporters, his coach claims that he has the stability of mush, the fleetness of a snail, the mentality of a mule, is held together by adhesive tape, bailing wire, sponge rubber, and has about as much chance of playing as would his own grandfather. To an alumnus, he is someone who will never shoot as well, pass as good, rebound as strongly, dribble as quickly, score as many points or have the same spirit as did those players of his own yesteryear. A basketball player likes games away, stopping to eat afterwards, hot showers, scoring a few points and the quiet satisfaction which comes from a prfectly executed play. He is not one for drills, wind sprints, calisthenics and sitting on the bench. A basketball player is a wonderful creature—^you can criticize him, but you can’t discourage him. You can defeat his team, but you can’t make him quit. You can get him out of a game, but you can’t get him out of basketball. Might as well admit it—be you alumnus, coach or fan—he is your personal represent­ ative on the floor, your symbol of fair and hard play. He may not be an AllAmerican, but he is an example of the American way. He is judged, not for his race, not for his religion, not for his social standing and not for his finances, but for the democratic yardstick of how well he passes, guards, shoots and sacrifices individual glory for the overall success of his team. He is a hard-working, untiring, determined kid doing the very best he can for his school. And when you come out of the gym growling and feeling upset that your team lost, he can make you mighty ashamed with just two sincerely spoken words—“We tried!” MEN’S DORMITORY —36— —37— CENTENNIAL HALL GHERING STUDENT HEALTH CENTER WOMEN’S DORMITORY COOPER HALL — ELECTRONICS NEW DINING HALL —38— —39— MEMO TO THE PRESS • • • We at Edinboro State College invite you to join us for the 1967-1968 High­ landers’ basketball season.
