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 educa­ ted 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 de­ grees 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 Humanities, Social Sci­ ences 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. Graduates of Edinboro have distinguished themselves in all professional fields: education, law, medicine, and religion as well as business and politics. The College stresses friendly relations among students and faculty and in­ formal student counseling and guidance. The faculty is keenly aware of profes­ sional 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.

Sports Information Director 4— — 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 in­ novations. He was cited as the motivating force behind the University of Arkon 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 curriculm, the proDr. Chester T. McNerney gram for educational supervision and administra­ tion, and the improvement of inter-personal re­ lationships among the various members of working groups. His concern in this area has led to his writing of several books, lecturing and conducting various workshops. Under Dr. McNerney's guidance, the College has witnessed the growth of administrative operations, broader forms of student government, and the de­ velopment of 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 educator who visibly believes in and practices total individual professional commitment. EDINBORO STATE COLLEGE'S ATHLETIC PROGRAM Intercollegiate athletics play an important role in the total educational pro­ gram 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 football, basketball, wrestling, golf, track, tennis, baseball, soccer and cross country. The finest of facilities are readily being made available to accommodate these sports. The most recent addition to Edinboro's athletic plant is Sox Harrison Stad­ ium 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 inter-collegiate 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 capac­ ity of the sports arena will be approximately 4,500 with provisions for later expansion to 7,000 provided. The continuing growth of Edinboro's athletic program is rapidly establishing the College as a respected collegiate competitor. 5— — HEAD BASKETBALL COACH Jim McDonald Since his appointment as head coach in 1962, Jim McDonald has guided Edinboro State College to 3 Western Division PSCAC Basketball Champ­ ionship titles, the PSCAC State Championship, and the NAIA District 18 Championship which earned Edinboro a trip to the NAIA Championship Playoffs in Kansas City, Missouri. In 1966 Mr. McDonald was selected by the coaches of the Eastern Seaboard States to be the Area 8 Basket­ ball 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. This season marks his sixth year at the High­ lander helm. Prior to accepting his current position at Edin­ boro in 1961, McDonald served as assistant bas­ ketball coach at Harborcreek High School in Erie ,Pa. He is a 1956 graduate of Bridgeport High School, Bridgeport, West Virginia. As a player, McDonald attended West Virginia Wesleyan College, where he participated as a varsity "Bobcat” for four seasons. During his collegiate basketball career McDonald was selected as an All-American two years by the DPI and the NAIA as a result of his outstanding abilities on the hardwoods. McDonald reached the climax of his athletic career with the Bobcats in his senior year, 1960, when he ranked as the second leading scorer in the nation with his average 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 Bas­ ketball Team at Denver, Colorado. In addition, McDonald's performance in the National NAIA Post-Season Basketball Tournament, held annually in Kansas City, Mo., earned him the honor of being named to the NAIA's All-Tournament Team for two consecutive years, 1959 and 1960. ASSISTANT BASKETBALL COACH Entering his third year as assistant basketball coach and head freshman roundball coach is Jim Christopher. Before joining the coaching staff at Edinboro, Christopher served as assistant baseball and basball coach at Carthage College, his collegiate alma mater, in Kenosha, Wis., for two years. He also spent a year at Henderson State College in Arkan­ sas where he earned his M. S. degree. Jim Christopher Christopher graduated from Lake View High School in Chicago, Illinois in 1958 where he gained recognition as both star basketball and baseball player. During his junior and senior years at Lake View, Christopher was named to the All-North Section Basketball team and elected to the All-City (Chicago) Roundball team as a senior. In addition to his basketball honors, Christopher was named to the All-City (Chicago) Baseball team in both his junior and senior years. In his senior year Mr. Christopher was chosen Athlete of the Year in the North Chicago Section. Christopher proceeded to further his education at Carthage College in Ken­ osha, Wisconsin where he earned varsity letters in both basketball and base­ ball. In his senior year he was named to the Second Team NAIA District 20 basketball team. He graduated from Carthage College in 1962. Christopher is also the head baseball coach and a physical education in­ structor at Edinboro. He, his wife Marianne and 4-month-old daughter Karianne, reside in Edinboro. ATHLETIC DIRECTOR Under McDonald's tutorship, the Scots have won 80 of 117 regular season encounters or slightly more than 68 % of their games. He posted his best mark as a coach this past year as his cagers rang up a regular season record of 17-4 and finished with a 19-5 ledger after tournament play. Mr. Allan W. Hall of Akron University was re­ cently appointed to the newly created post of full­ time Director of Athletics at the College. Hall, a graduate of Baldwin-Wallace College, has served as Assistant Director of Athletics at Akron University for the past 2 years. His '67-'68 team cracked 10 existing Edinboro State College basketball records and captured the PSCAC State Championship by defeating annual powerhouse Cheyney State. Last year's squad ranked as high as eleventh among the nation's small colleges and finished fifth in the nation in the team rebounding department. The Scots won their first 10 games while averaging 100 points a contest. Under McDonald's tutelage Edinboro State College is rapidly earning re­ spect in the small college circuits of the East. The Scots have never experi­ enced a losing season under his guidance. In addition, three Edinboro cagers have garnered All-American honors since 1965. Winning has become a tradition in the McDonald camp. The 1968-1969 edition of Fighting Scots will strive to keep the Clan in the win column. 6— — Christopher also served as head baseball and basketball coach of Carthage High School during his coaching career. Following his appointment at Carthage High, he ventured to Zion-Benton High School for a two-year assignment as head baseball and assistant basketball mentor. Al Hall While at Akron, Hall was quite active in the University's athletic program. He piloted Akron's cross country teams for 12 years and guided his harriers to three Ohio Conferences and three AllOhio championships. His 1963 squad held the distinction of being runnerup to national champ­ ion Emporia State in the NCAA meet. Along with his cross country duties he also served as assistant track coach at A. U. for 12 years. Hall's keen interest in all phases of sports is reflected by his past accomplishments in the field of athletics. In 1962 he was — 7— selected Meet Director of the National AAU Swimming Championships. He was highly instrumental in making Akron University the site of the Mideast Regional NCAA Basketball Tournaments in 1964, 1965, and 1966. Hall is also credited with the inception of the Junior Olympics program in the City of Akron. He served as the University's Sports Information Director during 1958 and 1959. He and his wife, Pam, reside in Edinboro. TEAM TRAINER Bob Klingler is commencing his second year on the Scots' 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 Hous­ ton, Texas, where he became a registered physical therapist 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 accepting his post at Edinboro. Bob Klingler Mr. Klingler, his wife, Jill, and baby daughter make their home in Edinboro. SPORTS INFORMATION DIRECTOR Paul Newman began his duties a year ago 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 three years. He served as a cross country coach and assistant track coach at Edgewood Senior High School in Ashtabula, Ohio. In connection with his duties, he is also the District 18 Publicity Chairman for the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics and is currently serving as Area 8 District Chairman for the NAIA. Paul Newman He serves as the adviser for the Tartdn, Edinboro's college yearbook. Mr. Newman, his wife, Connie, and their children, Paul, Jr. and Michele, make their home in Shafer Hall where he is Head Resident. 8— — 1968-1969 OUTLOOK Edinboro basketball coach Jim McDonald is his usual pessimistic self when it comes to predicting any outcomes for the 1968-69 cage season. A quick glance at the Fighting Scots' roster which lists 7 returnees from last year's team that brought Edinboro its first state basketball title, the Western Division Championship, and posted a 19-5 slate would undoubtedly seem to dispel any clouds of pessimism. Yet, McDonald has some good reasons to back up his feelings. Missing from the Scots' lineup is 6-9 Mick Unick from Wharton, New Jersey, who recently dropped out of school. As a sophomore last season, Unick led the Highlanders under the boards by grabbing 303 rebounds for a 12.6 a game average. He was also the team's second leading scorer as he singed the nets for a 14.5 points a game average. The corps of big men also suffered another jolt when 6-7 sophomore Jim Mann from Wyandotte, Michigan was lost for the year because of a blood clot on his knee. Mann had to undergo surgery for the injury and also had to with­ draw from school. The brawny center was top point getter on last year's frosh team which posted a fine 17-4 record. While burning the nets for 322 points, he also snared 189 rebounds to finish second in that department. "With the loss of these two we have no really experienced men at the inside positions," commented McDonald. However, most small college coaches would be more than enthusiastic toward the ensuing season if they found some of the Clan's talent on their bench. The Scots have 7 lettermen back from the greatest team in Edinboro's basketball history along with another varsity letter winner from 2 years ago. Add to these 8 veteran performers 7 sophomores from a team that finished 21 games with only 4 setbacks and averaged a torrid 99.4 points a game. Six senior lettermen stud the list of returnees among which are Third Team NAIA All-American Frank Smith, a 6-2 forward from Bentleyville, 6-4 guard Harry Jenkins, who was a District 18 NAIA Honorable Mention winner and Second Team PSCAC, 6-5 forward Rod Herron from Jackson Center, 6-2 for­ ward Larry Smith from Brookville, tri-captain Ron Weaver, a 5-10 guard from Pittsburgh and 5-10 guard Tim Ziner from Bethel Park. From the senior group, Harry Jenkins, Frank Smith and Ron Weaver were selected as tri-captains of the hardwooders. The election of tri-captains marked a first in Edinboro's cage history. Only two juniors are included on the 68-69 team. Vandergrift's 5-11 guard, Jim Robinson, who garnered a Second Team spot on the PSCAC selections is one of the third year men who will be vying for a starting guard spot. The other junior is Darrell Gettys, a 6-6 forward from Wilkinsburg High School in Pitts­ burgh. Gettys was a member of the 65-66 Edinboro team which posted an 18-5 overall record and won a trip to the NAIA playoffs in Kansas City. Sophomores dominate the other "half" of the Fighting Scots' roster. Any of the sophs could eventually break into the starting five during the year. Pressing hard for varsity roles are the Illinois quintet of 6-10 center Art Dickinson from Crystal Lake, Northbrook's 5-9 guard Burk Krohe, 5-11 guard Ray Overholt 10— — from Brookfield, 6-3 guard Craig Hiatt from Winthrop Harbor, and Carpentersville's 6-6 forward Doug Etzel. Dave Knowlton, a 6-1 playmaker from Mercer, is putting in an early bid for one of the guard slots, while 6-4 Mike Burke from Bevier, Mo., is trying to anchor one of the forward posts. The fine group of 7 sophomores along wtih the 8 veterans should at least give McDonald one of the strongest benches that he's had in a few years. Of course, a repeat of last season would be a tumultous task. While enroute to their fourth Western Division crown and first state championship, the 67-68 Scots changed 10 school records. Many new hurdles which could easily stymie another outstanding season have been placed in front of this year's squad. The Western Division challenges will be the strongest they've been in many years and the Scots will encounter powerhouses Kenyon, Grove City and Indiana University (Pa.) in the independent clashes. Other powerful foes to be encountered on the schedule during a Christmas Tournament at Irvine, Califor­ nia include Occidental, Southern Utah, Redlands University, Los Angeles State and the University of California at Irvine. McDonald's men came one game away from their Kansas City trip last sea­ son. The odds are stacked heavily against them to get that close this year. TRI-CAPTAINS FEATURE '68-'69 QUINTET For the first time in Edinboro history tri-captains have been elected to re­ present a Highlander athletic team. Frank Smith, Harry Jenkins, and Ron Weaver, who are all seniors this year, have been selected as tri-captains of the 1968-1969 basketball team. Smith, a 6'2" operative from Bentleyville, was Edinboro's top award getter the past season as he was named Third Team All-America by the NAIA, First Team by the PSCAC, First Team District 18 by the NAIA, and Third Team All-Pennsylvania by the Associated Press. He moved into tenth place on the list of all-time career scorers with 759 points and completed the season as the Scots' leading scorer by netting 447 points for an 18.6 game average. Another good season could make Frank the fourth Highlander to climb over the 1,000 point mark. In his 3 years of cage competition at Edinboro, he has averaged 14.8 points a contest. Harry Jenkins, a 6'4" forward from Bridgeport, West Virginia was the fourth highest scorer during the '67-'68 cage season with a 12.9 average. Harry was named to a Second Team PSCAC spot while garnering Honorable Mention on the NAIA District 18 Team. Unfortunately the Scot forward injured his ankle late in the year and missed the Highlanders' last 5 games. Although Ron Weaver was the "little man" in the scoring department, he proved to be the "big man" running the high-geared Edinboro offensive machine. The 5'10" guard from Montour High School in Pittsburgh led the team in assists and proved to be one of the best ball handlers on the team. The tri-captains were instrumental in leading Edinboro to its first state championship title and its winningest season (19-5) on the hardwoods. —11 — SCOT SKETCHES Mike Burke Art Dickinson Doug Etzel SCOT SKETCHES Darrell Gettys MIKE BURKE (40-41) F 6-4, 192, SO.

His know ledge of basketball has assisted him greatly in the performance of his duties. Edinboro Coach Jim McDonald tagged Pat as "a dedicated worker who always anticipates what has to be done." Pat performed on the Highlander hardcourts as a freshman eager. He attended Oil City Senior High School and is majoring in mathematics at Edinboro. — 15— 1968-1969 Fighting Scot Freshmen L-R: Jim Gregorakis (Manager), Rich Wildauer, Jim Stranko, Bob Koger, Jack Adams, Bob Burlingame, Russ Paulin, Sid Booker, Jim Prokell, Fred Riley, and Coach Jim Christopher. FROSH HAVE SIZE, SPEED AND SAVY Once again it appears that Edinboro State has come up with an outstanding crop of freshmen basketball players who will lead the Scots into battle on the Highlander hardcourts. Undoubtedly, the 1,968-1969 crop of freshman roundballers has the best group of big men Edinboro State has ever recruited. Five out of the ten squad members are 6-5 or taller. Heading the list of Coach Christopher's front liners are Jack Adams, 6-6, 210-pound center from Cicero, Illinois; Mike Brzozowski, 6-6, 195-pound forward from Cleveland, Ohio; Bob Burlingame, 6-8, 202-pound forward from Russell, Pa.; Robert Koger, 6-5, 210-pound forward from Montour, and Russ Paulin, 6-7, 210-pound center from Chartiers Valley. Relying primarily on a hook shot, Russ Paulin, the 6-7 pivot ace from Chartiers Valley, averaged 19.6 points a game and hauled down 14 rebounds per contest. Behind Paulin the Chartiers Valley Colts finished fourth in the WPIAL roundball loop. Jack Adams, a 6-6 center from Morton East High School in the Chicago suburbs, averaged 14 rebounds and ten points a game for the Mustangs in the strong Suburban League. The pivotman captained the Marton East five during his senior year. Mike Brzozowski, a 6-6 forward from Lourdes Central Catholic High School in Cleveland, Ohio, adds additional rebounding and scoring strength to the Little Scots. The Crusaders' pivotman led Lourdes to a third place finish in the North Central Conference while averaging 23.3 points a game in league action and 17.0 points a contest overall. He cleared the boards of 306 stray shots for a 17.0 rebounding average. At the conclusion of his senior career, Brzozowski was a First Team AllConference center selection. He was named to the All-Northeastern Ohio team in Class A competition and also Honorable Mention All-State. Bob Burlingame, 6-8 center from Eisenhower High School in Warren, Pa., tallied on 59% of his scoring attempts from the floor and averaged 29.3 points a game last season. His career average at Eisenhower High is 25.8 points a contest. Burlingame cleared the boards 397 times during the 1967-68 regular season averaging 20.9 rebounds an outing. He proved to be a valuable asset under the defensive boards where he collected 230 grabs of his rebounding total. The frosh cagers also possess excellent speed at the guard slots. Fred Riley, a 5-10 playmaker from Clearfield, shattered all existing scoring and assist records at Clearfield Area High School. His 59 points in a single 16— — game last year established both a school and league record. Other school marks set by the outside jump shooter include most points scored in one season (568), most career points (1037), most assists in one season (133) and most career assists (310). While guiding the Bisons to an 18-4 slate in season play, Riley averaged 25.8 points a game. The Clearfield product was selected Outstanding Player in District 9 last season and unanimously named to the Coaches and Sportswriters District 9 All-Star Team. He was named Fourth Team All-State by UPl and made the AP's Honorable Mention All-State list. Riley's quickness and speed will definitely support the Fighting Scot offense. Erie's Sid Booker, 6-2 guard, possesses a fine outside shot and is a trem­ endous leaper. He led the East High Warriors to the District 10 Basketball Championship and was instrumental in the team's surge to the state's quarter­ final playoffs. Booker owns the Erie city record in the high jump and will be a definite threat for the State College crown. The Erie star already has a leap of 6-4 to his credentials along with a :14.9 second romp over the 120-yard high hurdles. He won the District 10 titles in both the high jump and the high hurdles and then placed second in the state in both events. Booker earned All-City honors in football and basketball while he was an Honorable Mention All-State winner in football. Jim Stranko, a 6-1, 175 pound guard from Pittsburgh, is an exceptionally good outside shooter who should bolster Coach Christopher's offensive corps. Other talent-laden players on the freshman squad are Jim Prokell, a 6-0, 180 pound guard from Pittsburgh, and Rich Wildauer, a 5-8, 145 pound guard from Reynoldsville. Wildauer was named the Most Valuable Player of the Erie Diocesan League and averaged 24.6 points a game for DuBois Cen­ tral Catholic. "We have a fine group of boys who give 100 % effort all of the time," empha­ sized Coach Christopher. "In the early workouts we were pleased with the way they worked together. This is unusual for a freshman team which has a lot of individual standouts since they have to sacrifice to mold into one unit.” He added, "They have come a long way in the short period of time we had practice." The frosh will be trying to better a sparkling 17-4 slate posted by last year's first-year men.

Last year’s Scots, while enroute to their first state championship and fourth Western Division crown changed 10 school marks. The men of McDonald romped to their winningest season in Edinboro his­ tory by nailing down 19 victories over the past campaign. The previous high was that of 18 wins posted by the 1965-66 team. The victories gave Coach Jim McDonald a total of 84 wins in six years at Edinboro. His Highlander teams are averaging 14 wins each year and he has never experienced a losing season while guiding the Scots. The oldest existing record to fall was the most consecutive victory mark established in the 1931-32 season. The Scots rolled past that record of 8 by blazing to 10 consecutive wins in the first half of the season. Other marks to fall include: highest season scoring average, 89.4; best season free throw percentage, 70.6; most field goals in one season, 868; most points in one game, 133; most field goals in one game, 54; most rebounds in a single game, 86 against Lock Haven (also established a new PSCAC record); most points in one half, 75; and most points in a game for two teams 223 (Edinboro vs. Lock Haven). On the all-time list of seasons ranked by percentages, which marks 37 years on the Edinboro hardwoods, the Highlanders' 19-5 record places fourth among top runners. Leading assaults on individual career marks were senior center Don Dougan and junior forward Frnak Smith. Dougan's 992 total rebounds vaulted him into the top spot in the list of individual rebounders. He surpassed the previous high of 897 held by Darryl Meachem. During his four years at Edinboro, Dougan has averaged 11.5 re­ bounds a game and 12.7 points a game. His 1,095 points place him third on the list of career high scorers. Walt Askins (1,739 )and Dan Petchel (1 344) lead the list. Frank Smith moved into tenth place on the list of all-time career scorers with 759 points. Another good season this year could make Smith the fourth Scot to climb over the 1,000 point mark. In his three years of cage compe­ tition at Edinboro, Smith is averaging 14.8 points a game. He completed last season as the team's leading scorer netting 447 points for an 18.6 game average. McDonald s band of Fighting Scots annexed their fourth conference title in seven years at Edinboro by posting an unblemished 8-0 mark and entered NAIA district play for the third time. The Highlanders' 73-61 victory over Cheyney State netted Edinboro its first state title in basketball. The Scots Capture the State Championship — 22— THE OPPOSITION GENEVA COLLEGE November 30 — at Edinboro Location: Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania Enrollment: 1,300 Nickname: Golden Tornadoes Colors: Gold and White Athletic Director: Clifford Aultman Head Coach: Clifford Aultman Sports /Veuvs; John Carpenter Gymnasium: Metheny Field House Conference: \NesX Penn, NAIA 1967-1968 Record: ^5-^Q Lettermen Returning: 5 Last Game: 1 968, ESC lost 87-78 OUTLOOK: Cliff Altman's Golden Tornadoes charged to their third straight winning season last year as they posted a 15-10 overall mark. The pros­ pects are bright again this campaign as the Golden Ones lost only 1 starter from last season's club. Top returnees are lettermen Ron Coleman, a 6-5 senior center, Jerry O'Neill, a 6-3 senior forward, Donnie Sheffield, a 5-11 senior guard, Denny Hopper, a 6-0 senior guard and Pete DuBois, a 5-11 junior guard. Also showing promise under the boards is 6-4 sophomore center from Uniontown, Dwight DeCarlo.The Tornadoes have stopped the Scots for the last 2 years. They handed Edinboro its worst loss of the 60's on the Highland­ er's home court during the 1967-68 season by a 107-98 count. Last year Geneva again rode high on an 87-78 win at Beaver Falls. The G-Men will be sky high once again in trying to spoil the Scots' season opener. LOCK HAVEN STATE COLLEGE December 7 — at Edinboro, January 24 — at Lock Haven Location: Lock Haven, Pennsylvania Enrollment: 1,981 Nickname: Bald Eagles Colors: Maroon and Gray Athletic Director: Stephen Jacobs Head Coach: Stanley Daley Sports News: Ray Kodish Gymnasium: Thomas Field House Conference: PSCAC, NAIA, NCAA 1967-1968 Record:2-^?, Letttermen Returning: 4 Last Games: 1 968, ESC won 133-90, 83-66 OUTLOOK: The Bald Eagles slipped to a dismal 2-18 slate last season but should be a greatly improved team this year. The influx of a fine group of soph­ omores, who nailed down the first winning record as a Bald Eagle freshman team with an 8-6 mark, along with a group of experienced seniors should put a few more checks in the win column for Coach Stan Daley. Top players are Ed Danvis, Greg Kitchen, Larry Ulhig and 5-10 senior guard Jim Young. The biggest problem facing the downstaters is their lack of height. Edinboro routed the Bald Eagles 133-90 last year to establish 6 new school marks in the wild scoring fray. SLIPPERY ROCK STATE COLLEGE December 10 — at Edinboro, February 6 — at Slippery Rock Z.ocar/o/7.'Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania Enrollment: 4,000 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 1967-1968 Record: Lettermen Returning: 5 Last Games: 1 968, ESC won 84-56, 110-73 OUTLOOK: The Rockets will be striving to improve upon last year's 9-15 record, but still facing some height and outside shooting problems. Five return­ ing lettermen form a strong nucleus to lead the Green Men into the 68-69 sea­ son. Giving strength to the Rockets are 6-2 senior forward, Joe Bailie, 6-0 senior guard. Bob Bartlett, 6-0 senior guard, Gary Neuschwander, 6-2 junior — 24- forward, John Vaslowski and 6-1 junior guard, Ray Inman. Bartlett was the team's second leading scorer last season with an 11.4 points a game average while Bailie led the squad in rebounding. The addition of 6-5 Mack Lee will give the "Rock" some much-needed strength under the boards. Five of the Rockets' 9 wins came in conference action to give them a second place finish behind Edinboro in the Western Division of the PSCAC. The "Rock" will prove to be a tougher foe this year in loop play. CLARION STATE COLLEGE December 13 — at Clarion, February 18 — at Edinboro Sports News: Bill Proudfit Gymnasium: Harvey Conferences: PSCAC, NAIA 1967-1968 Record: 6-^b Lettermen Returning: 1 Last Games: 1 968, ESC won 103-92, 110-84 Location: Clarion, Pennsylvania Enrollment: 3,030 Nickname: Golden Eagles Colors: Blue and Gold Athletic Director: Frank Lignelli Head Coach: John Joy OUTLOOK: Beware the Golden Eagles! John Joy's cagers suffered 1 5 set­ backs in 20 outings last year but could easily reverse the record during the '68-'69 campaign. Joining forces with 5 lettermen from last season are 6-2 Larry Kubovchick and 6-3 Bob Fusco who lettered as starters the year before last. In their last appearances Kubovchick was named to the Western Division First Team as he averaged 22.4 points a game in loop play, while Fusco earned a Second Team berth with an 18.6 overall scoring average. The addition of 6-10 sophomore John Parks along with team captain 6-4 George Lawry will provide the necessary rebounding power. Buddy Martin, a 6-0 guard who averaged 14 points a game last year, will team up with 5-11 Denny Luce and 5-9 Joe Chalmers to give the Golden Eagles excellent speed and outside shooting. Joy's club could easily capture the Western Division crown. ROBERTS WESLEYAN COLLEGE December 18 — at Edinboro Sports News: Don Stewart Gymnasium: Churchville-Chili Conference: Independent, NAIA 1967-1968 Record: Lettermen Returning: 6 Last Game: 1 968, ESC lost 80-87 Location: North Chili, New York Enrollment: 700 Nickname: Raiders Colors: Red and White Athletic Director: John A. Fraser Head Coach: John A. Fraser OUTLOOK: The Raiders have proved to be one of the toughest indepen­ dent teams in the area in recent years. The New Yorkers halted the Scots 87-80 to hand Edinboro 1 of its 5 setbacks last season. Although they lost 6 lettermen, 5 letter winners returned for battle. Leading the attack will be NAIA AllAmerican Honorable Mention winner Ken Curtis, a 6-3 forward who averaged 24.6 points a game. Curtis set 3 Roberts Wesleyan regular season records while leading the Raiders to a 13-11 record. Seeing much action will be 5-10 Dave Scribner, 6-4 Paul Crowell, 6-3 Tim Luke, 5-10 Ralph Roach and 6-5 Willard Evans. IRVINE TOURNAMENT December 26, 27, 28 — at University of California at Irvine, California Edinboro State will compete in a 3-day holiday tournament on the Univer­ sity of California at Irvine Campus. Others vying for top honors in the roundball classic are: Occidental, Southern Utah, Redlands University, Los Angeles State, University of California at Irvine, Long Beach State, University of Cal­ ifornia at Fullerton. See page 17 of this brochure for further information. 25— — KENYON COLLEGE January 6 — at Edinboro Location: Gambier, Ohio Enrollment: 800 Nickname: Lords Colors: Purple and White Athletic Director: Philip J. Morse Head Coach: Robert W. Brannum Sports News: Peter G. Edwards Gymnasium: Wertheimer Field House Conferences: Ohio A.C., NCAA 1967-1968 Record: 28-5 Lettermen Returning: 8 Last Game: Did not play OUTLOOK: The Lords of Kenyon College, who raced to a 28-5 record last season, will be one of the most powerful independents the Scots will face. Leading the Kenyon offense will be the highest scoring pair of guards in the nation this past year. At one slot is 5-9 junior John Rinka who finished sixth in the nation with a 31.8 points a game average, while at the other post is John Dunlop who averaged 24.4 for a combined total of 56.2 points a game between the two. The sharpshooting duo is complemented by 7-1 senior center, Larry Finstron. First year coach Bob Brannum looks for help from freshmen Marty Hunt and Kit Marty. Marty was the number two Lord rebounder last year with a 10.3 per game average. The clash in Crawford Gym will be the first meeting of the 2 schools in their basketball histories. ALLIANCE COLLEGE January 8 — at Alliance, January 29 — at Edinboro Location: Cambridge Springs, Pennsylvania Enrollment: 625 Nickname: Eagles Colors: Red and White Athletic Director: Thaddeus T. Haluch Head Coach: Thaddeus T. Haluch Sports News: Dr. Robert Obojski Gymnasium: Cambridge Springs H. S. Conference: Independent, NAIA 1967-1968 Record: 9-13 Lettermen Returning: 1 Last Games: 1968, ESC won 90-72, 90-88 OUTLOOK: Coach Ted Haluch, beginning his 15th year as head mentor of the Eagle cagers, is building his team around returning seniors John Stano, a 6-5 forward, and John Sadowski, a 6-5 center. Stano was leading scorer for the 1967-68 Eagles with 415 points, good for an 18.8 average. Sadowski, a strong defensive man and the team's top rebounder (226 last year) scored 180 points in '67-68. Jerry Droleski, 6-3 forward who led freshman scorers last year with over 500 points and an average of approximately 25 points per game, will add depth to an already experienced 7 lettermen team. Rivalry between Edinboro and Alliance is always keen; this year should mark no exception. The Scots scored an amazing come-from-behind victory last season when they scored 10 points in the final 53 seconds and then edged the Eagles 90-88 in the overtime period. CALIFORNIA STATE COLLEGE January 11 — at Edinboro, February 15 — at California Location: California, Pennsylvania Enrollment: 5,1 29 Nickname: Vulcans Colors: Red and Black Athletic Director: Eugene Hester Head Coach: Myles Witchey Sports News: Robert Wood Gymnasium: Hamer Hall Conferences: PSCAC, NAIA 1967-1968 Record: 9-11 Lettermen Returning: 1 Last Games: 1 968, ESC won 98-91, 97-95 OUTLOOK: California was expected to be a top contender for the Western Division laurels this year, but the Vulcans were hard hit by some key losses. 6 of 11 varsity returnees were missing from the Fire God's camp for numerous reasons. However, Myles Witchey should once again come up with a Cal- 26— — ifornia five that will vie for a top spot in the standings. The Californians have 6-3 junior Bernie Floriani who is undoubtedly one of the best forwards in the PSCAC. He was accorded a First Team Western Division berth and an NAIA District 18 Honorable Mention award while averaging 16.9 points a game and 12.3 rebounds. Floriani is the Vulcans' only returning letterman. Helping the front line situation are 6-4 stalwarts, Dave Orange and Jack Taylor. Orange is a transfer student while Taylor is a sophomore. The greatest asset, as far as additions go, is 6-2 Ray Green who starred on the Vulcan freshman team. Green almost single-handedly served the Scot frosh one of their 4 setbacks last season when he exploded for 32 points on the Highlander hardwoods. He could be highly instrumental in providing California with a winning season. FREDONIA STATE COLLEGE February 1 — at Edinboro Location: Fredonia, New York Enrollment: 3,700 Nickname: Blue Devils Colors: Blue and White Athletic Director: Pat Damore Head Coac/?; William Hughes Sports News: Pat Damore Gymnasium: Dods Hall Conferences: SUNYAC, NAIA NCAA, 1967-1968 Record: 6-13 Lettermen Returning: 6 Last Game: 1 968, ESC won 93-84 OUTLOOK: Although the Blue Devils finished play with a dismal 6-13 rec­ ord last year, the Fighting Scots had to post a 93-84 come-from-behind vic­ tory to climb past the New Yorkers on their home court. Tom Scaglione, a 6-4 junior forward, led the Fredonia assault with a school record of 40 points and finished the year with a 17.5 points a game average. The lack of a big man will be the largest obstacle that the Blue Devils will have to overcome. Six lettermen, including 6-3 Joe Williams, 6-2 Greg PrechtI, and 6-4 Basil Estell give the Devils good overall size and experience. The last time Fredonia topped the Scots was 12 years ago when the Blue and White posted an 82-76 victory. INDIANA UNIVERSITY OF PA. February 8 — at Indiana, February 26 — at Edinboro Location: Indiana, Pennsylvania Enrollment: 6,750 Nickname: Big Indians Colors: Red and White Athletic Director: Charles Klausing Head Coach: Herm Sledzik Sports News: Larry Judge Gymnasium: Memorial Field House Conferences: NAIA, NCAA 1967-1968 Record: 18-6 Lettermen Returning: 9 Last Games: 1968, ESC won 87-85, lost 67-69 OUTLOOK: Herm Sledzik's Big Indians could easily be the 1968-69 NAIA representative to Kansas City. The Indians have 7 returning lettermen from a team that posted an 18-6 win-loss record along with 2 top newcomers and a crop of outstanding freshmen. Pacing the Indiana attack will be First Team NAIA District 18 selection Gary Lupek, a 6-6 forward who averaged 21 points a game. He was the leading scorer in District 18 and ranked fifth in the re­ bounding department with a 13.9 mark. Adding power to the Tribe are transfers 6-2 Dave Smith from Waynesburg College and 6-1 Bill Donnelly from Flor­ ida's Miami University. Rejoining Lupek are 3 other of last year's starting five: 6-1 senior Les Shoop, 5-11 junior Jim DeMark and 5-10 junior Mont Mat­ tocks. The Tribe has tremendous bench strength with the group of sophomores who starred as frosh last year. Most impressive is 6-5 center Dave McCullough.

Back to lead the Grovers will be senior captain Jeff Claypool (6-7) from Lexington, Ohio, the greatest scorer in Grove City history, who last year was named "Player of the Year" by both Western Pennsylvania area coaches and the Pittsburgh Chapter of the United States Basketball Writers Association. Supplementing Claypool on the court will be his former high school teammate from Lexington High, John Cochran (6-2) and Jim Ziegler (6-9) from Munhall. Strong to help the Grove City cause will be Dave Roberts (5-11), Tom Carr (6-0) and Doug Rohrer (6-6). The Grovers will be another of the highly united indepen­ dent cage teams in Western Pennsylvania. PENNSYLVANIA STATE COLLEGES ATHLETIC CONFERENCE The Pennsylvania State Colleges Athletic Conference (PSCAC) was organ­ ized in 1951. Its membership originally consisted of the 14 state colleges: Bloomsburg, California, Cheyney, Clarion, East Stroudsburg, Edinboro, Indi­ ana, 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 Division. Members of the Eastern Division include Bloomsburg, Cheyney, East Strouds­ burg, Kutztown, Mansfield, Millersville, Shippensburg, and West Chester, while Edinboro, California, Clarion, Lock Haven, and Slippery Rock comprise the Western Division. In basketball, the conference champions of both leagues face each other at the end of the season to determine the PSCAC champ­ ionship. All 13 state colleges that compete in the PSCAC belong to the NAIA, while many are also NCAA members. 1967-1968 PSCAC STANDINGS Western Division Edinboro..........................................
