Director: Paul Newman, 814-732-2745, Home 734-3735 Captains: Larry Betar, Don Gerdich TALENTED VETS MAKE SCOTS A CONTENDER Impressive winning records have become a trademark at Edinboro State under Coach Jim McDonald and the Scots' 1974—75 basketball campaign should hold true to form. McDonald has nine lettermen returning from a club that went 18—6 last year and has already added a crop of talented new. faces who will be pressing veterans for starting roles. All-America Honorable Mention winner, Dennis Hampton, will undoubtedly fight off all the challengers to regain his spot under the boards. The 6-5 forward averaged 12.3 ppg and 10.3 rebounds enroute to numerous post season honors. Also back to help under the hoop are double digit scorers James Boyd (6-4, sr., F) and Charlie Hickox (6-6, sr., C). Boyd clipped the net at a 12.5 pace, while Hickox was right behind hammering in 11.4 points per game. Hickox proved equally effective in the rebounding department where he cleared the glass 226 times to average 9.4 grabs per outing. Veteran backup power is on hand with 6-6, senior forward Don Gerdich, who found time to haul down 111 rebounds and toss in 81 markers through the 1973—74 varsity schedule. Also available is 6-7 Ron Beckett (jr., F) who has the needed experience to be a big help under the hoop. Challenging the veterans is 6-10 junior college transfer Brad Draper, who comes to the Scots via Mott Junior College in Flint, Michigan. However, ESC mentor Jim McDonald still feels that his team's primary weakness is the lack of a real strong man who can dominate play off the boards. To compensate for this, the Scot mentor is blessed with depth at all positions and exceptional speed among his 1974—75 hopefuls. A quartet of letter-winning guards will be joined by four more transfers in what could prove to be the biggest battle of the season. The list of returnees includes Larry Betar (6-2, sr.). Bill Lentz (6-2, jr.), Tim Smiley (6-0, so.) and Alonzo Craig (6-3, so.). Smiley came on strong late in the season to hammer in 228 points while just missing the double figure column with his 9.9 points-per-game average. Betar, Craig and Lentz followed Smiley in the scoring column with respective 7.8, 7.0 and 5.5 points per game averages. Betar claimed the top honors in assists with 140 while his 20 passes that led to scores against California set a new ESC mark. Craig proved most valuable in coming off the bench to spark several rallies. Lentz was equally impressive with late game heroics. Among the transfers vying for varsity playing time at the guard spots are Kevin Winch (5-11, so.), Glenn Lett (5-10, so.), Fred Simmons (6-3, so.) and Don Childs (6-3, jr.). 2 SUCCESSFUL SEASONS - A McDONALD TRADEMARK Winning ways have become a tradition with Jim McDonaldcoached teams at Edinboro State. In eleven seasons at the helm, his Fighting Scot cagers have never experienced a losing season while registering a remarkable 159 wins against only 84 losses. Since taking the reigns at Edin­ boro State in 1962, McDonalcf 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 play­ ed in eighteen post season contests 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 Head Coach — Jim McDonald 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 1955 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 AllAmerican two years by the UPl and the NAIA for his outstanding performances 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 three sons, Mark (14), Mike (12) and Matthew (2), reside in Edinboro. 4 ASSISTANT BASKETBALL COACH Tony Laterza, who guided the University of Akron to national bas­ ketball prominence, enters his fourth 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 accom­ plishments were four trips to the NCAA Mideast Regionals where the Zips captured three tournament titles. They finished as the NCAA College Division runners-up in 1963—64 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 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. ATHLETIC DIRECTOR Since Al Hall's appointment as Athletic Director in 1968, Edinboro State has enjoyed one of the most respected and most successful collegiate athletic programs in the East. Through his efforts, Edinboro State College has become a focal point for athletics in northwestern Pennsylvania and has hosted numerous championship events. Typical of this was the designation of ESC as the site for the 1972 National YMCA Diving and Swimming Championships, the largest swimming meet in the world. Under his leadership, 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 numer­ ous sports committees in the Erie area along with posts in both the ECAC and Pennsylvania Conference bear out his dedication to the world of athletics. A graduate of Baldwin-Wallace College, he served as Assistant Director of Athletics at Akron University for two years and piloted Akron's cross country teams to championship finishes for 12 seasons. Al, his wife, Pam, daughter, Beth, and their ESC Athletic Director — Al Hall son, Dale, reside in Edinboro. 5 GUARDS GUARDS Co-Captain 30-31 LARRY BETAR G, 6-2,170, Sr., Altoona 14-15 ALONZO CRAIG G, 6-3, 175, So., Ft.

GUR-ditch Laterza .... la-TUR-za ESC ATHLETIC AFFILIATIONS NAIA— Edinboro State has national affiliation with t|ie National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. 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 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. 18 Gary Stanton Drew Stauffer JOHN BRENNER, C, 6-7, So. — Led New York's Chenango Valley High to an .1 18—5 season and the Section IV championship . .

A Glance At The Past . . . TEAM TRAINER: Bob Klingler begins his eighth year of giving Fighting Scot athletes the tops in professional medical care. The 1952 Lock Haven grad ventured to Hermann School of Physical Therapy in Houston, Texas, and became a registered physical therapist in 1954. He later received his M.S. from Bucknell. Prior to accepting his ESC post, Klingler taught at Milton Hershey, a private boys' school in Hershey, Pa., where he served as the Spartans' head football mentor, head track coach and assistant basketball coach. Both his cinder and cage teams never experienced a losing season, while his grid teams continually posted successful campaigns in the powerful Capitol Area Conference. Bob, his wife, Jill, and daughter, Julie, make their home in Washington Twp. TEAM TRAINER: John Furcron is in his second year of helping in the Fighting Scots' physical education and athletic programs. Last year, Furcron stepped in to guide Edinboro's soccer team to an 8-3-1 season and the NAIA District 18 championship while Coach George Shimpeno was on sabbatical leave. This year he will be aiding the Fighting Scot teams as a trainer. A native of Wellington, Ohio, he holds a B.S. degree from Bowling Green along with a master's and recently completed doctorate from West Virginia University. Furcron spent nine years teaching in the Elyria, Ohio, public schools. At Bowling Green he was selected MVP as a senior halfback on the Falcons' 1958 football team. The new trainer, his wife, Gloria, and their two children, Angela and John, reside near the ESC campus. SPORTS INFORMATION DIRECTOR: Paul Newman began his duties seven years ago as ESC's first Sports Information Director and now also serves as Assistant to the President. Paul is a 1964 graduate of Edinboro where he earned both his B.S. degree and M.Ed. while majoring in English. Prior to joining the Scots, he held a teaching position in Ashtabula, Ohio, for three years. In connection with his duties, he is also the District 18 Publicity Chairman for the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics and recently completed a two-year term as President of the NAIA's Sports Information Directors Association. Paul, his wife, Connie, and their children, Paul, Jr., Michele and Scott, make their home in Edinboro. 22 1973-74 VARSITY RESULTS Overall Record: SPECIAL RECOGNITION - ''SCOTS OF THE PAST" 18—6 NAIA 2nd TEAM, ALL-AMERICAN 1964-1965: Dan Petchel ESC OPP LEADING SCORERS LEADER REBOUNDER 101 BehrMl............. ... 64 Stauffer............. ... 28 Hampton............ ..13 108 Western Ontario.......61 Stauffer............. ... 23 Hampton............ ..17 95 ^Clarion .............. ... 80 Betar ................ ...21 Hickox, Gerdich......13 122 Alliance............... ... 7?

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 1930-31 Coach: Sox Harrison Won 11 — Lost 4 ESC 0pp. 55 Alliance................ 15 42 Alliance................ 20 43 Erie Branch.......... 22 24 West Chester.... 20 43 Kutztown.............. 32 34 Slippery Rock... 33 21 Clarion.................. 14 29 Indiana................. 23 44 Erie Branch.......... 24 28 Slippery Rock... 29 38 California............. 39 34 California.............. 38 59 Clarion.................. 41 47 Indiana.................. 30 21 Allegheny............. 29 562 .409 1931-32 Coach: Sox Harrison Won 12 — Lost 1 ESC 0pp. 60 Fredonia............... 26 37 46 42 22 31 34 44 46 47 37 32 60 538 Indiana................. 31 Alliance................ 23 Kutztown............. 31 California............. 23 Slippery Rock. . . 22 California............. 17 Slippery Rock... 35 Alliance................ 31 Clarion.................. 16 Indiana................. 15 Clarion.................. 22 Fredonia.............. 22 ............................ .314 1932-33 Coach: Sox Harrison (Being Researched) 1933-34 Coach: Sox Harrison Won 8 — Lost 5 ESC 0pp. 27 Findley................ 28 50 Fredonia............... 22 33 Clarion................. 20 31 Westminster......... 41 35 California.............. 32 32 Slippery Rock. . . 37 50 Indiana................. 34 54 Fredonia.............. 29 59 California............ 25 30 Westminster....... 45 46 Slippery Rock... 34 36 Indiana............... . 38 36 Clarion................. 34 519 .............................419 1934-35 Coach: Sox Harrison (Being Researched) 1935-36 Coach: Sox Harrison Won 5 — Lost 5 ESC 0pp. 24 Thiel................. 42 32 Thiel.................. 40 54 Clarion............. 35 33 Clarion (OT).... 30 30 Slippery Rock.. . 41 40 Slippery Rock... 37 44 Indiana............ 32 32 Indiana............. 38 50 California........ 32 27 California........ 33 366 7360 1936-37 Coach: Sox Harrison Won 7 — Lost 6 ESC 0pp. 49 Ohio Chiropody.. 18 33 California.......... 43 36 Indiana............ 39 41 Clarion.............. 46 31 California.......... 37 30 Thiel................. 35 47 Fredonia...... 35 29 45 37 43 53 43 41 529 Thiel................... .

Cheyney will be favored for the Eastern Division crown with the return of four starters including 6-9 Vince Ellison and 6-4 guard Leon Bell and the addition of highly regarded transfer guard Dana Clark. Millersville, led by guard Phil Walker, should be a top contender in the East. Bloomsburg, last year's divisional winner, must rebuild. In the West, defending conference champion Indiana must replace leading scorer Randy Allen. The Indians have three starters back, including 6-5 forward John Guyton. Edinboro has a veteran front line of 6-6 center Charlie Hickox and forwards Dennis Hampton and Jim Boyd and will challenge. 35 EDINBORO STATE COLLEGE PREPARING FOR TOMORROW From its beginning as a private academy in 1856, Edinboro State College has surged to the forefront as one of the leading educational institutions in Western Pennsyl­ vania. Located just 15 miles south of Erie, Pa., the College's setting offers a contrast of seasons. Enhanced by the beauty of Edin­ boro Lake, the community serves as a resort center during the summer while numerous nearby ski slopes offer a variety of recreation in the picturesque 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 acces­ sible from the north and south by Interstate 79 and east and west by Interstate 90. Until recently the chief objective of the College was the education and preparation of classroom teach­ ers for the schools of the Common- New Library Edinboro President - Dr. Chester T. McNerney Van Houten Dining Hall 36 wealth. With the implementation of programs in arts, sciences and humanities, Edinboro has now become a multi-purpose institution of higher learning serving the educa­ tional needs of a tri-state area. The College has experienced a rapid growth rate in students, fac­ ulty and physical plant. Forty buildings cover the 585-acre cam­ pus which now services more than 7,000 students. In its university oriented role, the College makes contributions in the fields of education, govern­ ment, conservation, environmental improvement, urban and rural prob­ lems, crime prevention, and service to business and industry. Edinboro seeks to offer educational programs which will afford maximum oppor­ tunities 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 edinboro STATE COLLEGE Founded in 1857, it was established in 1861 as a State Normal School, second oldest in the Commonwealth and first west of the mountains.

Curricula range from elementary and secondary education, special fields in art, library science, music and special education to medical technology. Student activities are designed to develop the personality, poise, self-confidence 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 graduates 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 has undergone innovations and reorganization that have enabled the College to keep in step with the times and maintain its academic excellence. Edinboro State College is at the brink of a new era and has taken the initiative for a new direction among the state colleges of Pennsylvania. The College plans to offer programs in such diverse fields as international education, business administra­ tion and engineering to meet its leadership responsibilities in the years ahead. Keeping pace with the College's academic progress has been a building program which has dramatically changed the physical appearance of the campus over the past decade. Included among the additions are a nine-acre lake, an athletic complex, dormitory quadrant and new student services facilities such as a student union, dining hall and health center. Scheduled for completion in the near future are a new library and administration building. 38 New Student Union Doucette Hall 39 ALL-AMERICANS LEAD ESC'S GREATEST YEAR HOME OF THE FIGHTING SCOTS Arthur L.

His tracksters went through their dual meet schedule unscathed at 5—0, annexed the Pennsylvania Conference and District crowns. Hank Mariotti's netmen just missed an unblemished mark with a 10-1 ledger and kept championship form by winning their first ever Pennsylvania Conference tennis crown.
