Conference Head Coach: Mm McDonald (West Virginia Wesleyan, '60) Coach's Record: 128-67, 10 Years Assistant Coach: Tony Laterza (Akron, '52) Student Coaches: Fred Riley, Roger Stubbe 1971-72 Honors: NAIA District 18 Champions, Marietta Tourney Champs, Capital City Classic Runners-up 1971-72 Record:M-9 Conference Finish: Second, 5-3 Lettermen Lost: 3 Lettermen Returning: 5 Starters Returning: 2 Team Strengths: Shooting, Overall Height Team Weaknesses: Experience, Speed Co-Captains: Rich Sulka, Roy Stauffer SCOTS TALENTED BUT INEXPERIENCED Veteran coach Jirh McDonald returns from a year's sabbatical leave to greet the youngest team in his past 10 years at Edinboro State. Although McDonald's youth movement might be a full season or two away from becoming another Kansas City contender, the Scot cagers are not short on talent for the 1972-73 schedule. The Scots should be the strongest under the boards where they have both experienced veterans and talented newcomers fighting for positions. Rich Sulka (6-6, Sr.) has the experience edge over all challengers with Don Gerdich (6-6, So.) and Don Miller (6-5, So.) also on hand after clocking varsity playing time as freshmen. Sulka hauled down 165 stray shots last year while averaging 5.6 points per game and finished as the fifth leading rebounder in the conference. A quartet of freshmen standouts are also in the battle for starting berths under the basket. Leading the assault is 6-8 Sam Vickers and 6-7 Ron Beckett while 6-5 Bob Birner and 6-7 Dale Griffin are also waiting to make their marks. Vickers' rapid improvement since the beginning of practice in the fall could win him the starting center spot with Sulka moving to a forward post. Both Gerdich and Miller are destined to log plenty of playing time throughout the season after their strategic roles last year. Most unsettled of all positions is the Scots' starting guard assignments. A shoo-in for one of the two positions is Roy Stauffer. The 5-10 junior set a new Edinboro foul shooting record by hitting on 87.1 % of his attempts last year along with being the team's number three scorer with a 13.7 pointsper-game output. The Emmaus, Pa., ace also led the club in assists with 92. Altoona's Bernie Jubeck (6-1, Sr.) is the only other letterman at guard along with Stauffer. Three familiar faces also in the guard battle include Altoona's Larry Betar (6-1, So.), Pittsburgh's Bill Henk (6-1, So.) and Bradford's Paul Stiles (6-2, Jr.). Henk and Stiles started with the Scots two years ago but have been sidelined for a season due to injuries. Betar starred for the ESC frosh last year and has made a quick adjustment to the varsity ranks. He tossed in 235 points for a 12.4 average and still found time to grab 101 rebounds in his freshman debut. 2— — WINNING - A MCDONALD TRADITION Winning ways have become a tradition with Jim McDonaldcoached teams at Edinboro State. In ten seasons at the helm, his Fighting Scot cagers have never experienced a losing season while registering a remarkable 128 wins against only 59 losses. Since taking the reigns at Edin­ boro State in 1962, McDonald has led the Scots to four Western Divi­ sion Pennsylvania Conference crowns, the PC State Championship and six appearances in the NAIA district playoffs. His teams have played in sixteen post season con­ tests during a ten-year span. The 1965-66 club captured the District 18 toga and earned a trip to the NAIA national tournament in Kansas City, Missouri. McDonald was selected by the coaches of the eastern seaboard states to be the Area Eight Coach of the Year in 1966 and was honored as one of the top ten finalists in the NAIA's Coach of the Year poll. A wave of ESC basketball records have fallen by the wayside under McDonald's management. Some 17 team marks and 10 individual standards have been revised under his tutelage. Along with the 27 new records, four Edinboro State cagers have been named All-Americans since 1965. He posted his best mark as a coach five years ago as his cagers rang up a regular season record of 17-4 and finished with a 19-5 overall ledger. His 1967-68 team cracked 10 existing Edinboro State College basketball records and captured the PSCAC State Championship by defeating annual powerhouse Cheyney State. The 1967-68 squad ranked as high as eleventh among the nation's small colleges and finished fifth nationally in rebounding. Prior to accepting his current position at Edinboro in 1961, McDonald served as assistant basketball coach at Harborcreek High School in Erie, Pa. He is a 1965 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 for his outstanding per­ formances on the hardwoods. He 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 an 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 performance in the National NAIA Post-Season Basketball Tournament, held annually in Kansas City, Mo., earned him the distinction of being named to the NAIA's All-Tournament Team in 1959 and 1960. McDonald, his wife, Mary Lou, and their two sons, Mark (12) and Mike (10) reside in Edinboro. 4— — ASSISTANT BASKETBALL COACH Tony Laterza, who guided the University of Akron to national bas­ ketball prominence, enters his sec­ ond year in the Fighting Scot ranks as assistant cage coach. One of Ohio's most highly re­ spected coaches, Laterza compiled a nine year record of 178 wins and only 59 losses. His teams averaged nearly 20 wins a season during his ten year stay at the Buckeye School. Highlighting his hardcourt ac­ complishments were four trips to the NCAA, Mideast Regionals where the Zips captured three tournament titles. They finished as the NCAA College Division, runner-up in 196364 and managed a third place finish to close out the 1965-66 campaign. He also guided Akron to three straight Ohio Conference titles while finishing with second place honors four other times. Laterza's coaching know how is also reflected on the links where Assistant Coach - Tony Laterza his golf teams totaled outstanding 101-38-5 mark. In his second season at the helm, the Zips won their first Ohio Conference crown in golf, shared the title the following year and then repeated as sole champs in 1961. Laterza is a graduate of Akron University where he starred in both basketball and football. He earned a B.S. in education from Akron in 1952 and received his Masters degree from Kent State in 1963.

The NAIA was organized in 1940 for the purpose of promoting inter­ est in athletics among colleges of moderate enrollment. The NAIA encourages a broad program of athletic pursuits in its member schools and maintains that athletics must be an integral part of the overall educational process. A total of 17 national championships are sponsored by the NAIA. NCAA—The National Collegiate Athletic Association is a voluntary organization of more than 700 institutions and conferences devoted to the sound administration of inter­ collegiate athletics in all of its phases. The NCAA has re­ sponded to small colleges expanding needs and desires with a College Division classification. There are about 400 College Division members in the NCAA. CD Champion­ ships are conducted in nine sports which include regional tourneys in basketball and football. ECAC — The Eastern College Athletic Conference em­ braces 12 New England and Middle Atlantic states Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia. The mem­ ber institutions are separated into three different divisions. The ECAC differs from the majority of the other major college conferences throughout the country because it is not a playing conference in which every team within the group meets all or most of the others in the various sports. With 211 active members, it is the largest athletic con­ ference in the nation. Pennsylvania Conference—The Pennsylvania Conference, organized in 1951, has a membership of 14 collegiate institutions. The conference, which is divided into Western and Eastern Divisions, consists of Bloomsburg, California, Cheyney,Clarion, East Stroudsburg, Edinboro, Indiana, Kutztown, Lock Haven, Mansfield, Millersville, Shippensburg, Slippery Rock and West Chester. 19— 1972-73 FIGHTING SCOTS 1972-73 FIGHTING SCOT CAGERS AND COACHES Front Row (L-R): Student Coach Fred Riley, Bob Rozanski, Paul Stiles, Bernie Jubeck, Roy Stauffer, Bill Henk, Larry Betar, Bill Lentz and Student Coach Roger Stubbe.

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR; Since Al Hall's appointment as Athletic Director in 1968, Edinboro State has enjoyed one of the most respected and most suc­ cessful collegiate athletic programs in the East. Through his efforts ESC has expanded to twelve varsity sports and attained new memberships in the ECAC and NCAA while building a coaching staff that has compiled the College's best record in history. Al's selection to numerous sports com­ mittees in the Erie area along with posts in both the ECAC and Pennsyl­ vania Conference bear out his dedica­ tion to the world of athletics. A graduate of Baldwin Wallace College, Al Hall he served as Assistant Director of Ath­ letics at Akron University for two years and piloted Akron's cross country teams to championship finishes for 12 seasons. Al's wife, Pam, daughter, Beth, and their son.

In connection with his duties, he is also the District 18 Publicity Chairman for the National Association of Inter­ collegiate Athletics and recently completed a twoyear term as President of the NAIA's Sports In­ formation Director's Association. Paul, his wife, Connie, and their children, Paul, Jr. and Michele, make their home in Edinboro. Bob Klingler Paul Newman TEAM TRAINER: Bob Klingler begins his sixth year of giving Fighting Scot athletes the tops in professional medical care.

Three forwards and a guard comprise the quartet which was groomed by Jim McDonald for their national honors on the Edinboro hardwoods. Dan Petchel ranks as the second all-time scorer in ESC's cage history with his 1,344 career points while Fred Riley and Frank Smith hold down the number three and four spots on the scoring list with their respective 1,279 and 1,225-point outputs. Darryl Meachem ranks seventh among the all-time top scorers with his 881 tallies. In the rebounding department, Meachem and Petchel are two of the college's top three career rebounders with 897 and 744, respec­ tively. Meachem pulled down 393 rebounds for a school record established during the 1965-66 season. Smith owns two individual scoring records. His 54-point output against Fredonia in the 1966-67 season earned him the most points scored in a single game record. The 6-1, forward compiled the most field goals scored in a single game record with 21 two-point markers against Waynesburg in the same season and 21 against Kenyon in 1969. 28— — 1929-30 Coach: Sox

Edinboro will have to operate without two all-conference players, but still should be strong. California rates as a darkhorse with Lock Haven challenging the leaders. Defending conference champion Cheyney State may be seriously chal­ lenged in the Eastern Division of the PC by Bloomsburg and Mansfield. Bloomsburg has 6-8 center Jim Willis on hand, while Mansfield returns four starters. East Stroudsburg, a contender for the last two years, could drop a notch, while West Chester moves up in the Eastern Division. — 35— A WINNER FROM ATHLETICS From its beginnings as a private academy in 1856, Edinboro State College has surged to the forefront as one of the leading educational institu­ tions in western Pennsylvania. Located just 15 miles south of Erie, Pa., the college's setting offers a contrast of seasons. Enhanced by the beauty of Edinboro Lake, the community serves as a resort center during the summer while numerous nearby ski slopes offer a variety of recreation in the pic­ turesque winter months. The college's location enables it to readily serve the tri-state area with its proximity to Pittsburgh, Pa. (125 miles), Cleveland, Ohio (100 miles) and Buffalo, New York (120 miles). Moreover, it is easily accessible from the north and south by Interstate 79 and east and west by Interstate 90. — 36— TO CLASSROOM . ... ESC ^ Until recently the chief objective of the college was the education and preparation of classroom teachers for the schools of the Commonwealth. With the implementation of programs in arts, sciences and humanities, Edinboro has now become a multi-purpose institution of higher learning serving the educational needs of a tri-state area. The College has experienced a rapid growth rate in students faculty and physical plant. Forty buildings cover the 585-acre campus which now services more than 7,000 students. — 37— QUALITY LEADERSHIP KEEPS ESC ON THE MOVE Miller Research Learning Center Edinboro President — Dr. Chester T. McNerney In its university oriented role, the College makes contributions in the fields of education, government, conservation, environmental improvement, urban and rural problems, crime prevention, and service to business and industry. Edinboro seeks to offer educational programs which will afford maximum opportunities to its potential students and to meet the educational needs of its region from a professional and a cultural standpoint. With the addition of the liberal arts degree program in 1962, the College's curriculum has expanded to include numerous course selections. Curricula range from elementary and secondary education, special fields in art, library science, music, speech and special education to medical technology. Student activities are designed to develop the personality, poise, selfconfidence and professional awareness that will fit graduates for significant participation in American society. The College stresses friendly relations among students and faculty, as well as active student participation in decisions affecting them. Quality education has been an Edinboro tradition for more than a century as gradu­ ates have distinguished themselves in the professions, business and industry. With the appointment of Dr. Chester T. McNerney as Edinboro State's President in 1966, the College witnessed the addition of a prominent leader who is dedicated to the academic life, a tireless advocate of personal involve­ ment in the religious and civic affairs of one's community, and an educator who visibly believes in and practices total individual professional commitment. Under Dr. McNerney's leadership Edinboro State has undergone in­ novations and reorganization that has enabled the College to keep in step with the times and maintain its academic excellence. — 38- 39— — ATHLETIC PROGRAM SETS TORRID PACE While Edinboro State has been flourishing as an educational institution, the College's athletic program has kept stride with a torrid pace of its own. The Scots' athletic program has grown to include 12 varsity sports, having added five new sports within the last four years. Officially listed on the Fighting Scot register are baseball, basketball, bowling, cross country, football, golf, judo, soccer, swimming, tennis, track and wrestling. Scot teams have been busy adding victories to the list of varsity sports as the Clansmen won 7 out of every 10 contests during last year's athletic schedule. 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. Sox Harrison Stadium, one of two major facilities located in the sports complex, has a seating capacity for 5,000 spectators and provides com­ petition areas for both the football and track teams. A baseball diamond of major league specifications is also located just to the west of the stadium. The McComb Fieldhouse contains three basketball courts, an AAU-sized swimming pool, a diving tank with one and three meter boards, underwater sound systems, lighting systems and viewing ports, wrestling room, two handball courts, a corrective gym, medical suite, a rifle range, two steam rooms, locker room space for 1,000 students and many additional features to meet the needs of the Health and Physical Education Department. Seating capacity of the gym is approximately 4,600 while the natatorium seats 500 spectators. Four different sets of tennis courts are situated throughout the campus while 8 bowling lanes are provided in the new student union for intercollegiate competition. The nearby Culbertson Hills Country Club is the home of the Scots' golf and cross country teams. HOME OF THE FIGHTING SCOTS Arthur L.

The new structure has a seating capacity in the gymnasium area for 4600 fans while the natatorium seats 500 spectators. Underwater sound and lighting systems are featured in the pool area as well as four underwater viewing ports. Adja­ cent to the swimming area is a separate diving tank with one and three meter diving boards. The electrically operated bleachers can be rolled back in a matter of minutes to expand the available floor space into three basketball courts for intramural usage. The athletic com­ plex has already become a favorable site for both high school basketball and wrestling championships. A 680-car parking lot is conveniently located next to the fieldhouse to accommodate team followers. Ad­ ditional attractions include office facilities for members of the Health and Physical Education Department, locker room space for 1,000 stu­ dents, an equipment room and two classrooms.
