Recent program developments include those in the high-demand areas of allied health, business administration, communication, computer technology, nursing, and various pre-profes­ sional offerings such as law, dentistry, medicine, pharmacy and veterinary science. Numerous student internships provide additional examples of the University's efforts to create a close working relationship with the people it serves while, at the same time, offering students intel­ lectual and career opportunities. Edinboro has initiated the University Honors Program to provide challenging and enriched learning experiences for academically gifted students. Undergraduate students are encouraged to strive for academic excellence both in their major fields and in other disciplines. Honors students pursue studies that are greater in depth and scope than those required of other undergraduates. boro experienced its most significant change in history on July 1, 1983, when the College became Edinboro Univer­ sity of Pennsylvania. Founded as a private academy in 1857, Edinboro University has continued its surge to the forefront as one of the leading educational institutions in western Pennsylvania. Situated on a sprawling 585-acre campus in the scenic resort community of Edinboro, the University is within 100 miles of the educational and cultural centers of Buffalo, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh. It is just 15 miles south of Erie, the third largest city in Pennsylvania, and easily accessible from all directions by interstates 79, 80 and 90. Edinboro has the distinction of being the second normal school established in Pennsylvania and the 12th in the United States. It has grown to more than forty buildings including the 350,000-volume Baron-Forness Library, a modern seven-story structure which serves as a focal point for the spacious campus. Nearly 6,000 students repre­ senting almost every county in the Commonwealth, as well as numerous states and foreign countries attend Edinboro. Its tradition of educational service and research is matched by a distinguished faculty, more than two-thirds of whom have earned doctoral degrees. The University now offers more than 100 under­ graduate, graduate, and associate degree programs, a diversity unmatched by any other college or university in northwestern Pennsylvania.

The Eagles can strike through the air with junior quarterback Pat Carbol who totaled 1,688 yards in the passing lanes with 14 TD strikes to his credit. On the receiving end of most Carbol pitches was Terry McFetridge, the recipient of 50 aerials for 945 yards and 11 tallies. Brown, an AP First Team pick, should give the Golden Ones all the firepower they need on the ground after churning out 1,2M yards and 11 TD's as the conference s leading rushw a year ago. Comple­ menting him in the potent Clarion offense is All-PC West tailback Geoff Alexander. Ewing, with his team leading 139 tackles and Haslett, who contributed 99 hits and 17 sacks, form the nucleus of another stubborn Eagle defense. 1983 RESULTS (9-2) 21-17 24-13 48-12 24-20 24-6 35-24 8-28 DNP 38-10 DNP SCOUTING THE GOLDEN EAGLES Team Captains: Terry McFetridge and Kevin Ewing Lettermen Lost/Returning: 10/40 Returning Starters Offense/Defense: 8/9 Basic Offense/Defense: Pro Set/5-2 Team Strengths: Offensive skill positions.

The Scots re­ bounded for their first ever win over East Strouds­ burg with a 40-20 scalping of the Warriors after being ambushed at Indiana the previous Saturday. Clarion, ranked sixth in the nation two weeks ago, is striving to regroup following back-to-back league losses at the hands of Slippery Rock and Indiana, now the division leader with a perfect 3-0 mark. Coach Gene Sobolewski's Golden Eagles are 4-2 overall and carry a 2-2 slate in divisional play. "Clarion is one of those conference schools located very close to us which just makes for a natural rivalry," explained 'Boro boss Denny Creehan. Last year we upset them when they were undefeated and ranked third nationally. They'll remember that and would like to return the favor by spoiling our homecoming," added Creehan. The Golden Eagles balanced offensive attack is spearheaded on the ground by All-American tailback Elton Brown, who is averaging almost 90 yards per game, and in the air by quarterback Pat Carbol, who has tossed for 936 yards and eight TD's. Brown was the conference's leading rusher a year ago and teams with Geoff Alexander, the Golden Ones' second best runner with a 50 yards per game output. Carbol's favorite target, Terry McFetridge, has been sidelined by nagging injuries and will most likely remain out of action against the Scots. He caught 50 passes for 945 yards last fall and has been replaced by Bob Green, the current owner of 27 receptions to total an impressive 588 yards and three scores. The Golden Eagle defense looks to All-American mention winner Kevin Ewing at middle guard who heads the tackle charts via 79 hits with his next stop notching the 400th of his career. Edinboro got its offense back in high gear with the win over East Stroudsburg and the Scots now score at a 31.7 rate behind their 421 yards per game output. Senior quarterback Blair Hrovat, who has passed for 4,520 career yards, has hooked up on 62 of 124 tosses for 934 yards and 15 touchdowns in six games. His present total includes 43 scoring tosses during his stint with the Scots, just two shy of the conference record. Hrovat usually looks for the threesome of half­ backs Bob Klenk (18 receptions, 168 yards), split end Erie Bosley (16 receptions, 372 yards) and halfback Damon Chambers (13 receptions, 189 yards). On the ground where the Scots have chewed up real estate at a 260-yard pace per outing, Edinboro's top turf fearers out of the Wing-T attack are fullback Ray Rhodes (414 yards). Chambers (400 yards), and Ray Rhodes Ray Bracy Sean Henderson Hrovat (213 yards) who rely on blocking halfback Mitchell Kelly to pave the way. Sophomore placekicker Jim Trueman continues to topple EUP records and leads the team in scoring with 40 points. His61 PAT points surpassed the mark of 57 while his string of 27 straight challenge the existing standard of 29 consecutive PAT boots. Edinboro's top two hopefuls for conference honors as defensive standouts, linebacker Willie Chealey and tackle Rick Jordan, were sidelined last week. Both are expected to be ready for the Clarion fray. End John Brenneman is the Scots top tackier with 38 stops followed by Chealey (36), strong safety Matt Robinson (34), linebacker Stan Tomajko (31), and middle guard Sean Henderson (26). Ray Bracy's five interceptions and Martelle Betters' four aerial thefts headline a secondary that has picked off 15 passes. KLINE’S GLASS INC.

Diebold Serving as the current chief executive officer of THE RESTORATION OF REEDER HALL DEVORE CONSTRUCTION, INC. KEYSTONE ELECTRIC ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR erie^ pa meadville, pa PLANNING TOGETHER FOR A BETTER FUTURE Edinboro University of Pennsylvania is Foster F. Diebold, the University's sixth president. Since his appointment in August of 1979, Presi­ dent Diebold has initiated a wide variety of policies and programs which have enhanced Edinboro's level of excellence and quality. He continually strives for perfection and innovation in higher education, and the University prides itself on its reputation for distin­ guished faculty, modern and extensive facilities, superior academic programming and a variety of unique programs. Under the administration of President Diebold, Edinboro University has become one of the major influences In the northwestern Pennsylvania region and, in fact, the seventh largest employer in Erie County. Efforts have been made by the University to expand and improve relationships and linkages with surrounding communities in an effort to learn of specific needs and desires and to better serve its constituencies. An Improved internship program with businesses, industries, and offices in the tri­ state area has provided hands-on experience for Edinboro students, as well as valuable assistance to public and private organizations. Two of a variety of new programs put into place recently at Edinboro, or significantly enhanced, are the Disabled Students Program, one of the most extensive in the eastern United States, and the Honors Program. The Honors Program draws upon the contributions of University staff for a major part of its scholarship funds and recognizes the academic distinction of excellent students.

His most recent project was the completion of a $90,000 showcase weight room which will service the entire campus community and also be a prime aid for Divison I aspirations in the Scots wrestling program. McDonald has been at Edinboro since 1962 and for 12 years served as the Fighting Scot basketball coach (1962-1975) and never experienced a losing season while his teams compiled an impressive 181 wins against only 89 losses. During that span, his cagers won four Western Division Pennsylvania Conference crowns, the PC state championship and two District 18 titles that netted trips to the NAIA National Tournament. His teams set 27 University records and made 19 post-season appearances while four of his players were named All-Americans. Prior to accepting his position at Edinboro, McDonald served as assistant basketball coach in Erie, Pa. He is a 1956 graduate of Bridgeport High School in his home town of Bridgeport, West Virginia. In 1960 he received a degree in chemistry and physical education from West Virginia Wesleyan College and he also holds a master's degree in health from the University of Buffalo.

The Scots, who return 13 starters and 30 lettermen, finished second nationally in offense among the NCAA's Division II competitors last year after averaging a record shattering 41.2 points and 461 yards per game. Enroute to an 8-2 season, Edinboro climbed to eighth in the polls at one point and registered 21 new school marks while tying 3 others. "If it's the skill people who make the offense go, then we should have productive results," predicted Creehan whose clubs have been winners in 20 of their last 24 outings. "But if it's the interior line that makes it go, then we might have some question marks," cautioned the sixthyear Boro mentor. "As far as the defense is concerned, we'll be solid at all 11 positions if we get the same kind of play out of our ends that we did last year," Creehan continued. "Tom Herman (defensive coordinator) has always managed to develop a defensive unit that's traditionally very tough and we're counting on him to give us another aggressive, but disciplined bunch of players," he added. "You have to have a lot of talent and some luck to win in our conference anymore," Creehan offered. "It has become a real meat grinder. Giving anyone a decided edge is difficult but Clarion has 17 starters back and, on paper, Indiana has had the best two recruiting years in a row," the Scot coach indicated. Giving Edinboro the inside track to be point potent again is one of the country's most accurate passers in senior quarterback Blair Hrovat (Northfield, OH). The talented field general directed a high-powered wing-T offense that netted 4,611 yards while accounting for 10 new records that included career plays (686), season passing attempts (181), season total offense (1,938), career total offense (4,244), season completions (99), game completions (18), career touchdown passes (35), season touchdown passes (19), career passing (3,586), and game touchdown passes (4). Hrovat, who now owns 14 Edinboro grid records, finished second nationally (NCAA II) in passing efficiency last year by connecting on 99 of 181 attempts for a sparkling 54.7 percentage. "Blair deserves All-America recognition if he con­ tinues his pace," stated Creehan. "He's already the top passer in our school's history and this year he should finish among the all-time Conference leaders," the Scot coach projected. Waiting to make his mark at the quarterback slot is talented sophomore Scott Dodds (Beaver, PA) who, Creehan concedes, would probably be a starter playing for anyone else. "We will definitely play Scott because he's that good and deserving of the chance," revealed Creehan after electing to redshirt the promising signal caller last fall. Augmenting Hrovat's aerial attack is a relentless ground game spearheaded by halfbacks Bob Klenk (Pitts­ burgh, PA) and Damon Chambers (Willingboro, NJ), who churned out more than 500 yards each last year. Klenk threaded his way for 517 yards, led the Pennsylvania Conference in scoring with 76 points and was the sixth top scorer in the nation while Chambers sped for 507 yards and ranked third in the team's scoring parade with 8 touch­ downs. Center Buddy Carroll and tackle Rick Rosenburg, a Steeler signee, have graduated leaving Dorn Grande (Pitts­ burgh, PA), a 6-0, 250-pound left guard, the heir apparent to their leadership roles. Joining him are tackles Mark Wallace (6-3, 225, Uniontown, PA) and Jim Ritt (6-4, 255, Chesterland, OH) who bring game experience up front with right guard Scott Weinhold (6-4, 240, Pittsburgh, PA). The early nod at center goes to Mark Merritt (5-11, 245, Industry, PA), but Dave Higham (6-2, 240, Hubbard, OH) is pushing for a full-time job. Tackle Jim Britt (6-4, 260, Girard, OH) in addition to guards Frank Lucca (6-3, 240, Mentor, OH), and Dave Nye (6-0, 225, Windsor, OH) are all challenging for regular duty. "The only other variable we have to figure on offensively is the period of adjustment which is inevitable in a coaching change," said Creehan. The Scot mentor was referring to the recent addition of Jerry Gallagher as the team's offensive coordinator after John D'Ottavio accepted a post with the USFL's New Jersey Generals. Gallagher, however, is a D'Ottavio disciple and also a well-schooled enthusiast of the wing-T philosophy. Not to be denied their share of the limelight is a defensive unit that ranked eighth among the nation's leaders in rushing defense with a mere 65.6 yards per game allowance. The figure ranked as the second best mark in Edinboro's history and helped limit the Scots' oppostion to only 14.4 points per contest. The Boro's defensive units, under the tutorship of coordinator Tom Herman for the last five years, have been traditionally stingy in the Pennsylvania Conference where Edinboro has been the leader in rushing defense four out of the past five seasons.

PA 16509 868-5234 QiaL Headlining the cast here are a pair of senior AllAmerican candidates in 6-3, 230-pound tackle Rick Jordan (Jamestown, NY) and 6-0, 192-pound linebacker Willie Chealey (Orlando, FL) who combined for 186 stops last fall. Chealey, a Conference first team pick, was the team's leading tackier with 122 hits while Jordan, another first team selection, contributed 64 jolts and led the list in sacks with 12 to put his career total of 22 just 5 shy of the school record. "Willie is one of the few linebackers around who has the speed to cover receivers coming out of the backfield," beamed Creehan, "while Rick has exceptional quickness that makes the pass rush and pursuit his forte." Teaming with Chealey at the other backer spot in the 5-2 alignment is 6-2, 220-pound senior Bob O'Rorke (Pittsburgh, PA) tabbed by Creehan as "a fiery athlete who gets the rest of the defense 'up' and makes the big play." Sophomore Allen Ellis (5-11,205, Albion, NY) emerged as the number one backup to O'Rorke and Chealey after spring ball. Tackle Don Espy (6-3, 245, Brookville, PA) a three-year monogram winner, and junior middle guard Sean Hender­ son (6-0, 230, West Mifflin, PA) another pass rush stand­ out, team up with Jordan to form the heart of the Scots' forward wall. The coaching staff is also high on sophomore tackle Chuck Murray (6-4, 240, Tyrone, PA) who made noted progress in spring camp. Adding help in pass rush situations is Matt Grebenc (Wickliffe, OH) another quick middle guard operative like Henderson. Primary attention will be focused on the defensive end slots manned by juniors Dave Emmert (6-3, 210, Lower Burrell, PA) and John Brenneman(5-10, 225, Warren, OH). "Just as the offensive line is the unproven portion of our offense, so are the ends to our defense," theorized Creehan. "The manpower is there, the drawback is the experience factor," he concluded. Sophomore John Cardone (Pittsburgh, PA) should also get a chance to prove he can protect the flank. Senior strong safety Keith Rose (Coraopolis, PA) regarded as "the coach on the field," keys a solid Scot secondary where the Scots show the most depth. Free safety Ray Bracy (Youngstown, OH) the team's leader in interceptions and fumble recoveries, anchors the unit with Rose. Sophomores Terrell Clifford (Canton, OH) and Martelle Betters (Connellsville, PA) are projected as the starting corners, but redshirts Matt Robinson (Orlando, FL) and Mark Perkins (Harve de Grace, MD) are talented enough to step in at anytime. Edinboro's kicking game appears to possess one of its strongest kicking combinations in years with placement booter Jim Trueman (Bellevue, PA) and punter Kevin Conlan (Frewsburg, NY). Trueman, in his freshman debut, was listed among the nation's scoring leaders with 69 points via 39 PAT's and 10 field goals. The PC First Team pick set Edinboro records for the most extra point boots in a season (39) and the single game PAT standard (7). Conlan, vvho has proved his ability to get distance and heighth on his punts, displayed the consistency in the spring needed to make him a valuable asset should the offense get slowed down. etliyoujt^ 73M-5SJt5 12 13 KICKING GAME GETS RESPECT Campus Bookstore Featuring: Books Clothes Albums Jewelry Novelties ...and much more! I •f University Center Basement 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. "Overall our backfield will have a lot more speed as a group," forecasted Creehan. "Damon is ready to blossom into the groat player we expect him to be and Bob is one of the most reliable halfbacks we have," the Edinboro University coach added. Giving the Scots a running back bonus this year is the return of Mitchell Kelly (Canton, OH), a PC First Team selection in 1982, who is once again in the lineup. Sophomore Carmen Cicero (Niles, OH) emerged as a top young prospect after spring ball with newcomer Tony Allen (E. Carnegie, PA) ready to show his wares out of a halfback slot. Senior fullback Ray Rhodes (5-10, 190, White Plains, NY) gives the Scots' running game an added dimension with his speed. "If he improves his blocking, he could become one of the best fullbacks we've ever had," offered Creehan. Rounding out the arsenal of offensive weapons are wide receivers Gary McKnight (Orlando, FL) and Eric Bosley (Willingboro, NJ) who could become the top two pass catchers in the Conference if they avoid injury problems. McKnight snagged 16 tosses for 428 yards last year while Bosley, after a late start, tied an Edinboro record with 3 TD grabs in a single game.

Why are a lot of college men and women becoming buddies in Army ROTC? Probably because Army ROTC is full of the kind of people other people go out of their way to meet. ROTC students tend to be high achievers who are interested in more than their studies. They’re popular students with a serious side, but who like to have a good time, too.

Gigantic linemen of equal size, equal strength and equal quickness stood facemask to facemask and slugged it out in ferocious fashion. The clash be­ tween offensive and defensive lines was a test of brute strength. Whoever could outmuscle the other guy usually won the game. It’s still pretty ferocious in there. And physical too. But a lot more finesse goes into line play these days. Oh, the offensive linemen are still huge. The bigger the better, most continued recruiters will tell you. Tackles who are 6-7 and weigh 280 pounds are common­ place. But they are almost always of­ fensive tackles, not defensive tackles. On defense, speed and quickness nave become priorities. "Now defenses are being geared com­ pletely to quickness," said one West Coast defensive coach. "The pass rush 4 lot mor, that position in recent years who weighed less than 200 pounds. Ends who weigh 220 are more the norm. It wasn’t always that way. A little more than a decade ago, the biggest, most powerful players could be found as often on defense as on offense. Men like Michigan State’s 6-7, 295-pound Bubba Smith and Grambling’s 6-7, 287- who can run the 40-yard dash in 4.6 or 4.7. For any other team he’d probably play middle linebacker or fullback. But the coaches put him on a structured weightlifting program for a year or two and come up with a good, quick defensive tackle. Movement just before the snap of the ball and the use of "slants” are primary go„ /„to defensive linemen ere becoming fester. is the reason. Finding guys who can put on a pass rush is the No. 1 priority when we re looking for defensive linemep. We re always looking for guys who can get to the quarterback.” That s the whole philosophy of most coaches now,” agreed another coach. “Ifyou’vegotSO linemen to work with, some are going to be fast and some aren’t. That doesn’t mean the slow ones aren’t good players. But the great people who can really run usually end up on defense.” The trend now is toward smaller, quicker defensive linemen. A 6-2, 240pound defensive tackle or noseguard is more than acceptable these days in ma­ jor college football. A 6-2, 240-pound of­ fensive tackle is rare. Defensive ends are usually even lighter. A few teams have had men at pound Buck Buchanan roamed the defensive side. When the other team was running the football all the time, you wanted to have those big guys who could stand up to the offensive linemen and be physi­ cal, ” noted one defensive line coach. But then the option style of the run­ ning attack became popular and teams suddenly needed quicker defensive players to cope with the outside thrusts of the Wishbone and the Veer. The advent of the wide open passing attack has accelerated the trend. One Big Ten school has been among the leaders in the defensive quickness movement. It has been doing for years what others have only started doing in recent seasons. The formula is simple. Find a kid who’s 6-2 or 6-3 with a solid build and weapons of a quick defensive line. A defensive tackle slants by lining up di­ rectly across from an opposing offen­ sive linemen but facing at an angle. When the ball is snapped he charges into a gap in the line. You try to run around the guy in­ stead of standing there and waiting for him to come and block you, ” explained one line coach. “You try to get into the gaps in the line. Miami did a great job of doing that last year.” The Hurricanes also used a great deal of movement in an effort to disrupt the concentration of the offensive line. Nothing disturbs an offensive guard or tackle more than having the man across from him shift just before the snap. While quickness has joined (and vir­ tually replaced) size and strength as a continued No^ Quaker State comes in clean, easy to pour plastic bottles. Exclusively.

Today you need an oil this good in a package this good. MATCH-UPS ON THE LINE continued gauge of defensive line prowess, those two old staples are still in vogue on the other side of the ball. Offensive linemen in the college ranks are bigger than ever with several teams averaging more than 260 pounds across their front five. Colo­ rado State, not exactly a gridiron pow­ erhouse, claimed to have the biggest line in the country last season with an average of 269 pounds per man. "With the new rules you’re able to use your hands more on pass blocking and teams are throwing the ball more an30vay, ” said one midwestern line coach. "With those factors in mind, it's definitely to your advantage to have big offensive linemen. "A lot of teams are trying to counter that with quickness. They're sacrificing some size to get people who can outquick the big offensive linemen. ” As a result, offensive linemen are being asked to block men 10, 20, some­ times 40 pounds lighter than them­ selves. So what does a 270-pound offensive tackle do when the 230-pound defensive end lines up far outside and prepares to make a beeline for the quar­ terback? Or what does the 260-pound guard do when the 240-pound defen­ sive tackle lines up at a slant and looks longingly at the gap between guard and center? He compensates for his lack of foot speed with intelligence and good tech­ nique. In other words, he has to antici­ pate the actions of the defender, get the proper angle on the man he is blocking, and then utilize the blocking tactics that have been drilled into him. Technique. That word pops up over and over again in conversations among offensive linemen and their coaches. Technique, according to one major independent school line coach, is "every physical movement that is involved in the execution of a block." That includes the use of hands, legs and shoulders, knowing proper flexion of the hips and knees, developing the correct blocking angles, learning every basic tenet of the drive block (for run­ ning plays) and the set block (for pass protection). Everything. "The key to the whole thing is repeti­ tion, ” said one coach. "Offensive line­ men have to be willing to work very hard.” It 's also nice if they have long arms. It defrays the margin for error. "If a guy has shorter arms, he has to be that much better with his tech- RENaS MOST WINNING DEAL MGM Grand Getaway Three Days/Hvo Nights For Only ^60 Person ^ M^ W ake ake your your reservations ■ for for aa Sund Sunday through Thursday stay and take advantage of Reno’s best vacation value-the MGM Grand Getaway.

If the shorter kid makes a mistake he can really get burned.” It’s a little different with the drive block, where the primary object is to beat the other guy off the line and get leverage on him. Shorter, lighter line­ men have their place there, especially if they have a quick first step. No matter how big and strong the guy is across the line, if an offensive linemen can be the driver instead of the drivee, he’ll prob­ ably get the job done. Of course, height, weight, speed and wingspan aren’t the only criteria for selecting offensive and defensive line­ men. Coaches often base their de­ cisions as much on aptitude, attitude and personality. The general stereotype is something like this: • Offensive linemen are passive, de­ fensive linemen are aggressive. • Offensive linemen have above aver­ age intelligence, defensive linemen have below average intelligence. • Offensive linemen are nice, defen­ sive linemen are mean. • Offensive linemen work hard, de­ fensive linemen are a little lazy. • Offensive linemen are gentle and contemplative, defensive linemen are loud and rowdy. You’ll get varying opinions on the va­ lidity of the stereotype although most view it as having only a thread of truth. "The offensive lineman has to keep his composure more," admitted one West Coast coach. "You don’t want to put sissies on offense but you want them to have a calmer metabolism. The crazier guy who has a tendency to jump offsides belongs on defense. ” "You always hear the stories about how this guy wasn’t good enough for defense so they moved him to offense,” reflected an offensive line coach from the Big Ten. "But we like our guys to be aggressive, too. "I guess the biggest difference is that an offensive lineman has'to play with more control. Pass blocking is a good example. The defensive guys are wail­ ing on you but you have to maintain your control and concentration. Defen­ sive guys can just play a lot more loose. "A good parallel to playing the offen­ sive line would be hitting a golf ball or hitting a baseball. You want to be in­ tense but you also have to be under control. ” And be big and strong and tough and have good technique and be ready to cope with some lightning-footed, scaled-down "titans.” The widest seat in the air.

Whatever your choices are, you’ll know you’re running with the best. Because we’re committed to it. h how the myths have exploded down through the years about those wacky, crazy, flaky and zany left-handed quarterbacks. They have been portrayed as a funloving, free-spirited bunch of football players who march to the beat of a dif­ ferent drum. The guys who throw with the so-called "wrong arm” are sup­ O posed to be capable of doing anything at any time to give a coach gray hairs. In short, it’s safe to expect the unex­ pected from the southpaw throwers. They tantalize their coaches with flashes of brilliance one moment and near total disaster at another moment. Many left-handed quarterbacks have overcome this nagging stigma of incon­ sistency and gone on to have superb college careers. Last season, two of the top quarterbacks in the nation Boomer Esiason of Maryland and Steve Young of Brigham Young—threw with their left hand. They were so brilliant and consistent continued 9t SOUTHPAW qjUARTERBACILS continued I i ( i'l I si 51 Saturday after Saturday that their coaches and fans nearly forgot that they had a left-hander at the most im­ portant position on the team. “The only problem we came upon was if we had to demonstrate some­ thing, ” said a right-handed Atlantic Coast Conference coach who watched his talented left-hander win 16 games over two seasons against some of the top teams in the country. “ Some people say the spin of the ball is different from a left-hander, ” con­ tinued the ACC head coach. ‘ But I don’t believe there’s any real difficulty unless you talk about it and think about it a lot. ” But there can be no question that a left-hander does present problems for his teammates and the opposition on a regular basis, if for no other reason than the fact that he is different from most quarterbacks. Something like 95 percent of quarter­ backs are right-handers. Defenses are accustomed to playing against right­ handers and get a different look of where the ball is coming from when a left-hander unloads a pass. The lefties have also been known to gamble a little more in clutch situations and rise to the occasion when backed into a corner. Maybe they have some­ thing to prove since they grew up throwing the ball differently from almost everybody else. A left-hander is certainly much better at rolling out to his left and putting the ball in the air. When he goes to the left, he’s usually attacking the weak side of the defense—those people who don’t normally get as much work on a regular afternoon. Some defensive coaches may want to shift personnel around to compensate for the added dimension a left-hander gives a team. And they also have to be prepared for the different rotation on the football when it leaves the hand of a lefty. "Sometimes a left-hander will throw a curve, screwball, or something like that,” said a Southeastern Conference coach. "The spin on the ball is different but it doesn’t matter as long as it gets there. ” The different spin would create a problem for a receiver if he were catch­ ing the ball from a southpaw for the first time all week. But all receivers catch hundreds of passes every week from all the quarterbacks on the squad. By Saturday afternoon they're ready to catch the ball as long as it doesn't spin, curve, or dip too much. When that happens, the left-handed quarterback usually says he was just lot Maryland’s Boomer Esiason, throwing lefthanded, shattered records In ’83. being "creative " and messing up the defense. But both the quarterback and his pass-catchers know that every now and then a southpaw is going to look bad on a pass when it gets away from him. Most coaches say they don’t install any special pass patterns for a lefty. However, they’ll try to attack the weak side of the defense as often as possible if they have a quarterback who is mobile enough to roll left and throw ef­ fectively on the run. In these days of complicated and multiple defenses, the offensive coaches are always looking for a minor twist or turn to gain any kind of slight advantage a left-hander might provide. Even if the quarterback and his receiver do every­ thing the same on a pass pattern a right­ hander would do, there is still the obvious difference of trying to stop a passer who has the ball in the other hand. The left side of the defensive line has more distance to travel to get to the foot­ ball when a lefty has it. When the defen­ sive linemen start bearing down on a left-handed quarterback, the first thing they are usually facing is his back and not the ball. This can give the quarterback the few extra precious seconds he might need to get the pass off or to scramble out of trouble and find another receiver. So what happens if the left-handed starter suddenly gets hurt during a game and the coach has to call on his back-up—a right-hander—to come into the game? The tendency is to believe the offen­ sive team has to completely readjust its plan of attack. This could be true in some cases, but most coaches like to give their back-up quarterback enough playing time to be comfortable with the first unit. If the No. 2 signal caller has only been in games with the second team, that’s when the problems start. You can prac­ tice for days with the first team, but there’s no substitute for working under game conditions with your receivers, running backs and offensive linemen. Although there is no difference in the way a left-hander takes a snap from center, there are the usual timing factors to be concerned about. These are important when a right-hander re­ places a right-hander, and are a little more ticklish when a righty subs for a southpaw. As far as defensive adjustments a team has to make when it is going to face a left-hander are concerned, it all depends on the quarterback’s strengths and weaknesses. If he runs a well-balanced offense to both sides of the field, there isn’t much an opponent can do to project what’s coming on Saturday afternoon. But if the lefty has shown a tendency to favor a certain pass pattern over another, the wheels are set in motion for some defen­ sive wizardr^^ “You do make a thorough study of quarterbacks, ” said BYU’s offensive coordinator. " You study his tendencies and se»4 what he likes to do the most. Sometimes those traits may be a little easier to pick up with a left\/ who is obviously more comfortable going to his left. ” The BYU coach, who worked with record-shattering Steve Young last sea­ son, said that all left-handed quarter­ backs like to say they can go to their right better than their left. “But it’s just not true,” he said. "These guys like to make people believe they can roll right to prove their versa­ tility. But you know a left-hander is naturally going to be more at ease going to his left. ” No lefty likes to think he is limited, especially a quarterback who thrives on confidence and complete belief in his ability to get the job accomplished. Some have said left-handers are more cocky and brash than their right-handed counterparts. But believers in the left-handers concontinued Horm» Chil I ^ jisnm Bean HORMEL CHILL ALLTHE MAKINGS OE HOMEMADE. Good lean Ht^rmel beef. Rieh tomatc^ sauee. Plump chili beans.

SOUTHPAW QVARTEMIBACKS r continued tend that it’s just the quarterback posi­ tion that makes everybody seem that way. They don’t think most lefties are arrogant. They have to be strong to lead 10 other guys on the field, and that strength is sometimes confused with obnoxiousness. Unlike baseball where the southpaw is restricted to pitching, first base and the outfield, football holds no major limitations on where a left-hander can play. The only time a football coach might make a change because a player is left-handed would be in determining on which side of the line he might use the lefty. Most coaches like their offensive and defensive linemen to be ambidextrous, but if a player is much more at ease hit­ ting with his left arm first he will usually be put in a position where he can utilize his strengths to the utmost. ’You just see which guys are more comfortable on a certain side of the field,” said a Big Ten coach. "The same can be true of right-handers as well as lefties. It’s something you look at for linebackers and defensive backs as well as linemen and ends. ” While the left-handed quarterback ‘^Sometimes a left-hander will fliroir a cut^e, screwhallf or something like that,” said a Southeastern Con­ ference coach, ‘*The spin on the ball is different but it doesn*t matter as long as it gets there.** has some advantages and a few disad­ vantages, a running back who is lefthanded would have a definite advan­ tage if the coach wanted to use him on a pass-option play. He could carry the ball in the right hand and then suddenly switch the ball away trom the defender to the left hand and throw a pass. All-America Steve Young last season helped dispel some of those fables about left-handers. His soft touch passes rolled up points on the scoreboard and skyrocketed his passing statistics. ”He was completely opposite from what you always hear about left­ handers, ” said the BYU coach. "He was the most accurate quarterback we’ve had here and we never did anything to compensate for him being left-handed.” While Young did the job with a soft pass, Maryland’s southpaw Boomer Esiason shattered passing records with a whistling pass that split defenders many times to find the open arms of receivers. Both quarterbacks received super re­ sults with different methods, but they both used what teachers and educators once referred to as the ”bkd arm.” The BYU coach recalled the days when he was in elemenfary school and a kid in the room was reprimanded for using his left hand. It.was a time when all youngsters were being taught to use their right hands. Now that thinking has changed. As one left-hander put it, "We are more spontaneous and creative. We use the hand that is closest to our heart, which makes us more sincere.” A Seme people find buying a new car much easier tnan others After you've found the GM car or truck of your dreams, don't turn the financing into a hassle.

His descriptions of game scenes become a permanent chapter of team history for every fan who couldn’t make it to the stadium on time. Color men come from a variety of backgrounds. Some are formerly prominent college players, often alumni of the teams they’re broadcasting. Some are full time broadcasters with years of experience. A third group fits neither category. They weren’t great players, and they’re just learning the broadcasting business. But people like to hear their voices during a game. ® "A good color man, ” says a veteran play-by-play announcer in the Big Ten, “can add a real dimension to a broadcast. He can inject a liveliness into the story line that complements the play-by-play mans job. A good play-by-play man always comes prepared to do his job. A good color man can make him sound even better. ” The converse is also true. No matter how flawless the play-byplay delivery, a weak color man can disrupt the broadcast fiow more quickly than a power failure. With each broadcast team, the color man’s job varies. In a Uvo-man team, the color man’s responsibilities are expanded beyond simply making comments during a game. The color man in the two-man team usually gets the game show on and oflFthe air. He handles introductions, including halftime guests. If there are no halftime guests, he describes halftime ceremonies. Often he’s also responsible for locker room interviews on the post-game show. Every color man is expected to provide requisite game facts in his pre-game comments: who’s playing, \yhere they’re playing, what the teams’ records are and how weather conditions, may affect the game’s outcome. Better color men go a step further, delving into the nuanbes of a game by briefly charting the storylines they’ll follow during the afternoon: key match­ ups, relationships of opposing coaches, the impact the game could have on bowl game aspirations of either or both teams. Three-man broadcast teams are dis­ tinguished by the addition of a game analyst to the roster. The analyst, usually a former coach or player, uses his intimate knowledge of college football to apprise listeners of what strategy and tactics are being used. In this situation, the color man avoids technical aspects of the game to concentrate on other areas. Whether two-man or three-man, the broadcast team has to learn to work together, becoming familiar with the cadence/)f the play-by-play man’s voice and th^ lulls in which the color man and analyst can make their points. “The 25 seconds between plays in a college game makes a vastly different broadcast than a pro game in which 30 seconds transpire between plays, ” says a veteran Southeastern Con­ ference broadcaster who has served as both color man and play-by-play an­ nouncer for the better part of 20 years. The extra five secohds in the pro game can be interminable. You’ll have a bit more freedom as a color man to get your thoughts on the air.

Because the popularity of college i^football radio broadcasts generates big ratings — and big profits — radio exec­ utives are very critical in their reviews of broadcast teams. A color man who can’t hold his own in the two-man team, or one who steps on the lines of his compatriots in the three-man team, is immediately rele­ gated to less air time. An experienced broadcast team that’s worked together for several sea­ sons has a comfortable feel for the radio audience right from the season opener. A team with one or more new mem­ bers can have its ups and downs. ‘‘The longer you work with someone, the better patterns you get into, ” said an announcer with five decades of col­ lege football broadcasting duty, the last two decades coming on the broadcast team of a Los Angeles-based Pac-10 team. ‘‘The play-by-play man accepts the other guy and learns fi'om him. The big thing is that one pair of eyes can’t see it all. The play-by-play man follows the ball. The color man can more closely analyze what the defense is doing. He sees who caused the fumble. ‘‘A priority,”he said,"is to keep it simple. " You don’t want to be too technical in the college game, ” he said. “College football is more a spectacle. People are dressed up and meeting old Mends. There’s a larger audience ofwomen. It’s a social event. “They just aren’t as involved in the technical points of the game. You don’t kiss off the technical stuff altogether, but there’s a lot going on at a col­ lege game beyond pure unadulterated football. ” Perhaps the best way to keep the pace flowing in a college broadcast is to be well prepared. "If you want to be a professional,” said one former Big-10 color comment­ ator, "you come in prepared. A lot of guys don’t, but if you don’t do your homework, you’re not doing your job. "It’s extremelyimportant to get input from the coaches. They know what a guy’s strengths and weaknesses are. They know the kinds of things that can make it a long day for a player. "So you watch for it. Pick out some­ thing you can look for that you expect to be a key and monitor the pattern through the game.” The color man’s job in recent years has been immeasurably assisted by the growing intricacies of college football. "The frequent use of statistics, for one thing, ” the veteran Pac-10 dtl4 announcer said. “Theaheer amount of information you have at your fingertips helps you do a better job. It’s all changed. You’re not in the press box any more. It’s the communications center.” The diff^erence in the color man’s duties can be altered by the medium. On radio, he’s an illustrator and educa­ tor. On television, he can be like a counterpunching boxer. “When you’re doing TV, it’s not necessary to say the pass is dragging downfield like a crippled quail and has interception written all over it, ” says the veteran SEC color commentator. "All that’s done for you. The color man becomes analyst in a TV broad­ cast. Radio lets you paint the picture.” The best test of a color man’s craft is how well he communicates the flavor and excitement of the game via the radio airwaves, how artfully he illus­ trates the scene to a fan who may be hundreds of miles away and fishing fi'om a bass boat floating in the middle of a lake. If he can fire up that angler, get him dialed into every play, the fisherman is going to become a cheerleader. And the cheerleader is going to shout loud enough to drive the fish away. The fishing trip may be ruined. But the fisherman has enjoyed an afternoon of college football thanks to the second banana who brings the game to life—the radio color man. ^ 19t THE FIRST COLLEGE FOOTBALL HALL OF FAMERS Harold “Red” Grange XEROX Alvin “Bo” McMillin ./I... ,£ n.s.7r{;sr:'“/£st "■« 1951 HALL OF FAME IlVDUCTEES Sammy Baugh, Texas Christian, Halfback, 1934-36 Hector Cowan, Princeton, I'ackle, 1885-89 Edward Coy, Yale, Fullback, 1907-09 Charles Daly,^Harvard, Quarterback, 1898-1900 Army, Quarterback, 1901-02 Benjamin Friedman, Michigan, Halfliack/Quarterback, 1924-26 George Gipp, Notre Dame, Fullback, 1917-20 Harold Red ’ Grange, Illinois, Halfback, 1923-25 Thomas Hare, Pennsylvania, Guard, 1897-1900 Charles Harley, Ohio State, Halfl)ack, 1916-18 Donald Hutson, Alabama, End, 1932-34 Frank Bruiser Kinard, Mississippi, Tackle, 1934-37 Nile Kinnick, Iowa, Halflwck, 1937-39 Elmer Layden, Notre Dame, Fullback, 1922-24 Edward iMahan, Harvard, Fullback, 1913-15 Ah'in McMillin, Center, Quarterback, 1919-21 Harold Brick Muller, California, End, 1920-22 Bronislaw "Bronko" Nagurski, Minnesota, Tackle, 1927-29 Ernest Nevers, Stanford, Fullback, 1923-25 Adolf "Germany" Schultz, Michigan, Center, 1904-08 Homer Hazel, Rutgers, Fullback, 1922-24 Fred W.VV.

Pennzoil—quality protection worth asking for. by Billy Watkins, Jackson Daily News The most common defense among college football teams today is the "50” defense, consisting of five linemen, two inside linebackers and a four-rdeep sec­ ondary. One of those linemen is the noseguard, who is usually positioned head-up on the center. It’s the noseguard who has the big­ gest say in whether or not a team plays a good "50” defense or a lousy one. "It’s the most essential position of the front,’’ says one coach in the South. "I feel very strongly that if you ’ve got a person in there who cannot dominate, then you should play another defense. Those are pretty strong words, but that’s the way I’ve always felt about it. ” Says another coach from a southern school, ‘You’re going to struggle or be mighty average unless you have a domi­ nant noseguard in a ‘50’ front.” It’s quite obvious why the noseguard is so important in the “50" defense. In most “50” alignments, the noseguard is over the center, the two tackles are head-up with the offensive tackles and the two ends (the outside linebackers, as they are sometimes called) are outside the tight end. Each has a cer­ tain area of responsibility. "We use what we call gap control,” says one coach. “For instance, the two tackles are responsible for the gap be­ tween the guards and the tackles. Our ends have the area from the tight end to the sideline.” That leaves the noseguard with the area from guard to guard. He’s the only player on the defensive front who is asked to cover two gaps — the center- guard gap on both sides of the football. "And if you can find a gu\' who can cover two gaps,” say's a coach, "then you’ve got yourself one heckuva foot­ ball player.” Says another coach, ’Regardless of which side they should run to, right or left, the noseguard should be the first man on the tackle if the play goes be­ tween the guards. We tell all our people they should be in on the tackle, but they have one gap that is their primary con­ cern until the ball is snapped. Then they can leave that area. ” One coach who employs the 4-3 de­ fense at his school says the noseguard’s two-gap responsibility is the main rea­ son he doesn’t like the “50” front.

"But we think he can do a better job of it by standing up three or four yards off the ball rather than get­ ting down face to face with the center. We think it’s easier to react that way. ” when searching for a noseguard, a coach is looking for two things: he must have great quickness and he must be strong enough to battle one, two or three offensive linemen. "The noseguard has to move and be into the center as soon as the ball moves, ’ ’ says a coach who uses the "50 ” defense. "That’s the most important thing in teaching noseguard play: mov­ ing on the football. That’s something you can develop to a degree, but it’s mainly something you’re born with. "You want to move so quickly that the center would swear you’re offsides. And many times the good ones are off­ sides because of that great anticipation. We really stress how important it is to move when the ball moves. ” The noseguard is taught to move through the center’s block instead of trying to go around him. ' If you go around him,” says a coach, "the center will just cutyou off. We tell our kids that if the center moves left, then you’ve got to work that way. ” It’s tough on a center. He must worry first about getting off a good snap to the quarterback. Then comes the blocking part. All this happens in a fraction of a second, and it’s a demanding situation. "More and more I think we re seeing the best athletes on the offensive line at center because of all the good noseguards around,” says a coach. "And if you can’t handle the noseguard, you’ll be in for a long day.” The most obvious problem a good noseguard could cause is poor exchanges from the center to the quarterback. "If you’ve got a noseguard going into the center every play, you’re going to create some mistakes,” a coach says. "The center tries to move his hands a little quicker. He might not be concen­ trating as much on the exchange as he is on the guy in front of him. And the quarterback may be trying to get out of there a little quicker than normal. "Even if you don’t create fumbles, you might interrupt the exchange from the quarterback to a running back. It just destroys whatever cohesiveness an offensive might have.” Offense must make adjustments to handle dominant noseguards. " What we do, ” says one offensive coach, "is try to give the center as much help as possible. We ll use one guard, some­ times both guards if we have to, on the noseguard.” The new scheme may block the nose­ guard, but it also leaves one-on-one blocking for the defensive tackles, which in turn makes them much more effective. As one defensive coach bluntly puts it, "You can block my noseguard one•on-one and he’ll eat your lunch. You can double-team my noseguard and my tackles will eat your lunch. Makes no difference to me.” If an offense does cook up a new blocking scheme to handle the nose­ guard, it may do more harm to the of­ fense than good. "Many teams have had malfunctions against us, ” a defensive coach says, "because they’ve had to change the things they’d been doing all season. The type of guy who can force a team to change what they normally do is the type of guy we re looking for to play noseguard.” No one can measure the effect a dominant noseguard has on the oppo­ sition during the week before a game, but one coach believes it would be sur­ prising. "Those players sit there all week, watching films of your noseguard just destroying a center, ” one coach says, "and they realize that "Hey, this guy may force us into a lot of mistakes. It works on their minds. ” There are certain variations of the "50 ” that are frequently used. "Rarely do you see a team play a straight "50’ for a whole game, ” says a coach. And that may change the responsibility of the noseguard. What a team might do is run an "over­ shift” to the strong (or tight end) side, then shift the secondary to the weak (away from the tight end) side for run support there. In the "overshift, ” the noseguard moves into the center-guard gap on the strong side. The tackle on the weak side moves down from head-up with the offensive tackle to directly over the guard. One coach who uses the wide-tacklesix defense — a popular defense in years gone by, but employed by just a handful of teams these days — laughs when someone mentions the "50” overshift. "All they’re doing then, ” he says, "is running our defense. We take our 60guard and put him in the guard-center gap, just like they do with the nose­ guard. It’s the same thing. Then, every front player is responsible for just one gap. And most teams are better when they have their players in one-gap responsibility.” t' c» ■ ii m ■W S,\e- But some teams using the wide-tacklesix alignment convert to the "50” in certain situations. "Sometimes, we ll move our guard from the center-guard gap to directly over the center, just like a noseguard, in passing situations, ” says one coach. "We feel like he gets a little better pass rush over the center than the guard because the center is worried about snapping the ball first, then blocking. ” One coach compares finding a quality noseguard to finding a quality quar­ terback. "There just aren’t many around, ” he says. "What we’ve always done is take our best defensive lineman and put him there. Eveiything in the "50’ is structured around him. That’s where the heart of the defense is. He’s the cog. "That’s what we tell a guy when we put him there: "Everything revolves around you. You set up the huddle. The others come to you. When the defense is called, you’re the first one to the ball. And when the ball moves, you’re the first one on defense to move.” And what the noseguard does on that initial move following each snap can determine who wins the game. ^ 37t UNIVERSITY OF THE SOUTH Remarkable story? Yes. The College Football Hall of Fame near Cincinnati ought to play it big. It doesn't now. Someday it will. No team will match that feat. It happened in 1899. William McKinley was the president of the U.S., while in England, Queen Victoria was still doddering around Buckingham Palace. Sewanee was officially 'The Univer­ sity of the South, " ivy all over its 10,000acres up the road a piece from Chatta­ nooga, if one is headed toward Nashville. Football is still there. It’s not de-emphasized football — just football, by student-scholars. The late Shirley Majors, John's dad, coached it with dis­ tinction for years. The NCAA knows about Sewanee football. It has awarded more of its post-graduate honors scholarships there than to any Division III institu­ tion in the land. Sewanee is proud of its football tra­ dition but does not boast of it from housetops. Once upon a time the Purple Tigers were the perennial southern football power. It wasn’t a power by the time the Southeastern Conference was born in 1933, but Sewanee was a member. It re­ signed in 1940, with an 0-37 SEC foot­ ball record. But from 1899, for 30-odd seasons Sewanee wasn’t embarrassed to chal­ lenge anybody. Its memorable team, that '99 team ignored by history, set a tone. The five wins in six days came late in a 12-0-0 season. Sewanee archives credit Luke Lea, a big-dreaming team business manager, with assembling the players for 1899, and persuading Suter to coach them. Lea later became a Nashville news­ paper publisher and U.S. senator. He re­ cruited men from several states, mostly players with college experience. Warbler Wilson, quarterback, had been a second-stringer at South Caro­ lina. Captain of the team was H. G. Seibels, of Birmingham, Ala., a lineman. Seibels was the last survivor of the team, dying in 1969, as a College Football Hall of Famer. Sewanee opened its '99 season de­ feating Georgia, 12-0, and Georgia Tech, 32-0, in Atlanta on Oct. 21 and Oct. 23. It routed Tennessee, 46-0, and Southwest­ ern, 54-0, at home within the next 11 days. It finished the year spanking Cum­ berland, 71-0, on Nov. 20 at home; Auburn, 11-10, in Montgomery on Nov. 30; and North Carolina, 5-0, in Atlanta, 38t © 1984 AT&T Information Systems. continued from page 35 Six days, five football games, five victories—and a bid for history. On the seventh day, Sewanee records it, ^^they rested Dec. 2. The final game should have been called a bowl.’ It predated the Rose Bowl by twoyears, with all the elements to qualify it as a major post-season game. Sewanee heard about North Carolina claiming the Dixie championship. The Tigers challenged the boast and settled it, by a field goal (which counted five points then). But The Trip was for the ages. Lea promoted that, too. He even talked school fathers into buying new uni­ forms for the team — the custom back then had players furnishing their own combat wardrobes and shoes. A crisis developed on the team’s spe­ cial sleeper car five miles down the rail­ road from Sewanee. Lea remembered he d forgotten to load the new uniforms off the station platform. Lea got the conductor to wire a re­ quest that the equipment be dis­ patched on a following train. The uni­ forms caught up with the players a few minutes before kickoff in Austin. Sewanee caught up with a fast-start­ ing Texas early in the match. The Long­ horns moved to the Tiger 15. A story goes that at that point a Sewa­ nee alumnus waved a fistful of money to fellow sidelining Texans, offering odds that Texas wouldn’t score then, or later. Texans covered. Texans lost. One Sewanee version of that gamble is that most of the winning money in­ volved represented an investment by Sewanee players. Historians report that following the game Texans hosted Sewanee players at a dance. Following a late night trip to Hous­ ton, Sewanee whipped the Texas Aggies the next afternoon, a Friday. The 400 miles left to New Orleans denied the Tigers a dance in Houston. The players did attend a theatre per­ formance on Saturday evening, after Tulane had been trounced, 23-0. In the play’s ( "Rupert of Hentzan”) final act the dead hero was on stage in state when Queen Flavia rushed on in royal mourning clothes of purple. That was Sewanee’s color. The players leaped up and rendered their school syell. Actors and audience were mystified. -The dramatic spell was lost, like Teys, A&M and Tulane had. And LSU was to lose in Baton Rouge on Monday, and Ole Miss in Memphis on Tuesday. On Sunday, break day, Sewanee play­ ers toured a sugar plantation on a detour to Baton Rouge. They cheered for the purple cane. LSU s color is purple also, and so were their bruises. Ole Miss colors were red and black. So were their feelings late Tuesday. The 300-miles from Memphis to Sewanee were uneventful for a team headed home. The entire student body, tis written, met the train. There was a triumphant half-mile parade up the mountain to the campus. Students had rented a hack. They ropepulled it up the slope with 21 celebri­ ties aboard. Six days, five football games, five vic­ tories — and a bid for history. On the seventh day, Sewanee records it, "they rested. ” ^ WHH OPPORTUNITY COMES KNOCXIHa KNOCK ON THE RIGHT DOOR.

CROSS COUNTRY TEAM MARKS TIME f^c.id label and follow directions Monloy & James. 1983 Edinboro University's cross country coach, Doug Watts, feels that his men distance hopefuls will be maintaining the Scots traditionally respected "status quo" this year in preparation of "great expectations" for the fall of 1985. "Our team is young and needs another year of experience and physical maturation before we can realist­ ically challenge for another national championship," claimed the EUP mentor who has guided the running Scots to outstanding success over the past 15 years. "We have set modest goals — another undefeated dual match season and an NCAA II national finish among the top ten," continued Watts whose teams are working on a string of 57 consecutive dual match wins that span 12 straight un­ defeated seasons. In anticipation of the 1985 charge and as an indication of the wealth of talent Watts has on hand, Edinboro AllAmerican Steve Repko (E. Aurora, NY) will sit out this campaign as a red shirt." Still, more than a dozen runners will battle for the top spots to carry on the Scots nationally recognized reputation of distance running excellence. "I don't think I can accurately single out who will be our top runner this year," revealed Watts. "There simply are too many talented people to predict a distinct order of finish." The situation is one that should make any intercol­ legiate coach happy, and Watts is no exception. "Our depth means that competition within our team might be more intense than against most of our opponents. As a result our seven top runners should be as tough psychologically as they are physically," added Watts coyly. Expected to challenge for the number one spot is junior Mike Hulme (E. Aurora, NY). A two-time national finalist in the steeplechase at the NCAA II Track Championships, Hulme could emerge as a cross country All-American for the Scots this fall. A fellow Steepler, Tim Dunthorne (sophomore, Sundbury, Ont.) finished seventh at the NCAA track finals last spring and has all the tools to join Hulme in the quest for an All-American scroll. Junior Steve Stahl also has the potential to finish among the national leaders but has to "overcome personal distractions" says Watts. The Edinboro coach can still count on another group of his talented runners to challenge for the number one position on any given day. Luke Graham (sophomore, Cochranton, PA) is seen by Watts as the "team fighter" and feels "once his training catches up with his heart" Graham will be a future champion. Sidelined last year due to an injury was Genarro Manocchio (freshman, Parma, OH) who will probably start slow but make his presence known at the top through October. Also wearing an Edinboro uniform for the first time will be transfer Scott Burns (sophomore, Pittsfield, PA) who, likewise, is a front-runner contender. Junior Bill Maloney (Hollidaysburg, PA), a consistent top five finisher for the last two seasons, has always been a dependable pointgetter who continually delivers clutch performances. The remaining roster members could, by themselves, comprise a team that might prove to be the best in the Pennsylvania Conference where the Scots compete. Only in his third year of running, senior Tom Borawski (Sharon, PA) has been selected to captain the team because of the great attitude and leadership qualities he demonstrated last fall. Sophomore Ron Beck (Kent, OH), recovering from a bout of mononucleosis over the summer, and junior Greg Cunningham (Warren, PA), a place-finisher in the Con­ ference 10,000 meter run, are threats who should surprise opponents. A pair of sophomores, Gregg Redd (Swanton, OH) and Ken Scott (Jeanette, PA) are potentially dangerous competitors as is junior Frank Tascone (Madison, OH). A trio of Ohio freshmen recruits, who Watts believes have promising futures, have joined the squad. "These three are excellent runners," indicated Watts. "But it remains to be seen if they will be able to overtake any of the upperclassmen this early in their collegiate careers." The threesome includes Brian Martin (Sandusky, OH), Matt Marshall (Lansing, OH) and Tim Powers (Youngstown, OH). Martin was fourth in the Buckeye State AA meet with Marshall posting a fifth in his division and Powers ending up 12th in the AAA race. 1984 CROSS COUNTRY LETTER WINNERS: (L-R.

He starred in the secondary as a strong safety that season when the Fighting Scots finished their regular campaign undefeated with a 9-0 record. Prior to a three-year stint on the Edinboro staff as an assistant, Creehan served as recruiting coordi­ nator at the University of Pittsburgh in 1974 under Coach Johnny Majors. The following year he was a member of the Carnegie-Mellon University football staff as the team's offensive coordinator. The young mentor has likewise had an outstand­ ing athletic career as a football player. After starring as both a halfback and strong safety at Bethel Park High School, the Castle Shannon, Pa. native accu­ mulated numerous gridiron honors at Edinboro. At the conclusion of his senior campaign for the Fighting Scots, he was accorded first team All-East honors by the ECAC and first team All-State Associated Press accolades as the Scots' strong safety. In addition, he was named to the Pittsburgh Press All-District first team and to the NAIA District 18 All-Star squad. He was one of the three 1970 captains who accepted Edinboro's Lambert Bowl trophy at the Lambert Awards Banquet in New York City. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Creehan of Bethel Park, the Fighting Scot coach resides in Edinboro with his wife, Linda, and their two sons, Kevin and Head Coach - Denny Creehan Since Denny Creehan's appointment five years ago as the ninth head coach in Edinboro's football history, the Fighting Scots have commanded respect both in the highly regarded Pennsylvania Conference as well as on the national scene. Record breaking performances have become the order of the day while riding the crest of a glossy 31-18-1 ledger over the past five seasons. The 34-year-old mentor has produced a .633 winning percentage mark to move him into first place on Edinboro's all-time coaching list. Over the past two seasons Creehan's clubs have posted an impressive 17-4 chart while figuring in 43 school records that were either tied or broken. Following up a brilliant 9-2 slate two years ago, along with the PC's Western Divison title, Creehan's charges blazed to an 8-2 card last fall while becoming Edinboro's most explosive offensive team ever. The 1983 Scots scored a record breaking 41.2 points per game and ranked second in the nation among NCAA Division II competitors in total offense with a 461.1 yards per contest output. That output was good enough to be rated 10th among all the major college's and universities in the country ahead of such schools as Boston College (13th), Florida State (14th), and North Carolina (15th). While producing a respected competitor on the football field is, of course, an annual goal, Creehan has continually stressed the importance of aca­ demics as a top priority for his student athletes. "We must be winners in the classroom first," indicated the Edinboro University mentor. Casey.

When the Hall of Fame was dedicated in August 1978, ''Red" Blaik was the keynote speaker. He spoke to the crowd on behalf of all Hall of Famers and said. "This is the best happening in college football since the legali­ zation of the forward pass." His comment exemplifies the excite­ ment that awaits college football fans who visit the shrine and the experience that already has been enjoyed by thousands. The College Football Hall of Fame is not only a place to see. The National Collegiate Divi­ sion III Football Championship (Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl) moved to the College Football Hall of Fame's Galbreath Field in 1983. Augustana College (Illi­ nois) came from behind for an exciting 21-17 victory over Union College (New York). This year's championship again will be played at Galbreath Field on Saturday, December 8. The Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl will mark the culmination of a three-week, 16-team national play-off among the nation's most outstanding small college foot­ ball teams. Every aspect of the play-off is under the administra­ tion of the NCAA Division III Football Committee. Galbreath Field is a 10,000-seat stadium located immediately ad­ jacent to the College Football Hall of Fame at Kings Island, Ohio.

From its one-eighth mile long Time Tunnel, which traces the 2,000-year development of the game from ancient Greece to the present in more than 30 time capsules, to the Hall of Fame Room where each of the Hall of Famers are honored, to its fu­ turistic use of computer termi­ nals that allow the visitor to match wits with the great coaches or to call up the biographies of every Hall of Famer, the museum can and does bring the total col­ lege football experience to life. Its personalized approach and ac^ tion-oriented attractions have in­ trigued all who have visited. As "Sleepy" Jim Crowley, one of the Notre Dame Four Horsemen, simply said, "This Hall of Fame is not in the telling or talking about, it's in the seeing." I isl CLARION "GOLDEN EAGLES" TE . LT . LG .

World proven peformance, we're bringing It home to you. S You’re right, it certainly is, but how about all those athletes who played the great American game during the first 70 years — the "60minute men.” Now that was really rough and tough football and it challenged an athlete’s THE stamina as much as his skills. The col­ lege football players of the 'good ol’ days ” played both offense and defense and were in the game from the opening kickoff to the final gun. Unlike the game today in which 11 fresh players trot onto the field when­ ever the ball goes from one team to the other, football in the old days was played with just 11 men. For most of college football’s 115 years, the "60-minute men ” dominated the sport, and it wasn’t until 1941, when the fi'ee-substitution rule was adopted, that there were full units of specialists for offense and defense. It was a mark of courage, toughness and durability to play the entire game in the old days and the entire game actually was 90 minutes instead of 60 because the halves were 45 minutes, not 30. Substitutions were rare (most often there were just 15 players on a team — 11 regulars and four substitutes) and a substitute could only enter the game when there was an injury. On occasion, however, a tiring player would be asked by his coach or captain to feign an injury in order to get a fresh player in the lineup. Force was the name of the game and the flying wedge was one of the most popular plays. One wonders how long college foot­ ball would have survived as a college sport had not President Theodore Roosevelt intervened in the early 1900s in the interests of safety and less brutal play. The story is told that Roosevelt reacted in rage after seeing a photo­ graph of an injured Swarthmore player who had been the object of some particulairly rough play on the part of Pennsylvania. The sight of Bob Maxwell staggering off the field caused Roosevelt to issue an ultimatum to the football fathers of THERE'S REW FIRE RT FIRESTOPE. there on Oct. 13, 1945, when the era of "60-minute man” finally came to an end. On that date, Michigan was sched­ uled to play one of the greatest Army teams of all time, led by Mr. Inside and Mr. Outside, Glenn Davis and Doc Blanchard. It was during World War II. Some of the Army players were 22 and 23 years O you think college football is a rough, tough game? the day; "Clean up the game or it’ll be banned by presidential edict.” NUTE MEN by Wayne DeNeff, The Ann Arbor News Led by Walter Camp, often called ’ The Father of Football,” the college football people reacted quickly to Roosevelt’s demand. Here are some of the changes instituted; • Forward passing was legalized, making the game more a game of skill. • Mass interference plays were eliminated. • A neutral zone was established at the line of scrimmage. • The yardage for a first down was increased from five yards to 10 yards. So the game started to change fi'om a pushing and shoving match to a game of skills in which a knack for throwing and catching the ball was as important as wrestling an opponent in a mass of bodies. And legalization of the forward pass created the glamour boy of football — the quarterback. Who were some of the great 60minute football players? Almost every outstanding football player from the birth of the game in 1869 to the free-substitution rule of 1941—Walter Camp, Pudge Heffelfinger, Knute Rockne, Red Grange, Jim Thorpe, Bronco Nagurski, Ernie Nevers, Alonzo Stagg, Frank Hinkey, Willie Heston, Chic Harley, and the list could go on and on. The rules makers added three little words that made all the difference in the world; A substitute could enter the game "at any time. ” Previously, a player could not re­ enter the game during the period in which he had left. There are times in athletics when an innocent rule revision results in revo­ lutionary changes of the sport itself. All it takes is some ingenuity on the part of the coaches. And ingenuity, plus necessity, was old, while Michigan Coach Fritz Crisler was fielding a team of 17- and 18-yearold freshmen. Most of the older players had been drafted into military service. The week of the game. New York sportswriters were calling Crisler’s team "The Fuzz Kids” and the Cadets were solid five-touchdown favorites. Crisler figured there was no way he was going to defeat Army with his best 11 against Army’s best 11, but his idea, developed during a week of practice, was to have one Michigan unit for offense and one unit for defense. It marked the beginning of two-pla­ toon football. Instead of 11 against 11, it would be something like 22 Wolverines against 11 Cadets. "When you have a dime and the other guy has $1,000, ” said Crisler, "it’s time to gamble. ” The 70,000 spectators in Yankee Stadium on that mid-October day looked on in amazement as a whole new group of Wolverines entered the game when Michigan took over the ball, and another new group entered when the Wolverines went on defense. Army scored the first two touch­ downs to take a 14-0 lead but the col­ lege football world was shocked when Michigan became the first team to score on Army that season and the lead was trimmed to 14-7. The harried Cadets finally scored twice in the fourth quarter for a 28-7 victory, but Michigan’s amazing Wolver­ ines were the talk of college football that fall. Crisler’s phone was ringing off the hook the rest of that season as coaches and sportswriters sought more infor­ mation on the revolutionary way of playing the game. "Our only hope was to keep fresh players in the game and play our best tacklers on one unit and our best run­ ners and blockers on the other unit, said Crisler. On that day the "60-minute man” had passed into oblivion. H 43t m; How to move with modem times andtakeyour PCwithyou.

BEAM, KY, , And Will Perry, a former SID who is now assistant athletic director at Michigan, answers,“An3^hing the ath­ letic director wants him to do. Don Canham had more ideas than I had arms and legs. We launched vast marketing, direct mail and advertising programs out of the SID office in 1968 (before there were promotion and marketing directors in athletic depart­ ments). Canham once told CoSIDA (College Sports Information Directors of America) years ago, make yourself valuable to the department or they are going to hire someone to do the job that you can do.’ That’s exactly what happened. ” In answer to the question, Hal Bate­ man, the SID at the U.S. Air Force Academy, sent a job summation written by an anonymous SID: The Sports Information Director “He’s a phenom; a mental and physi­ cal marvel. He must be able to eat like Hoss Cartwright, drink like Dean Martin, write like Grantland Rice and have Bill Toomey’s stamina. El SID must be as suave as Cary Grant, as unshak­ able as John Wayne and as cool-headed as James Bond... “The Sports Publicity Man finishes his duties at midnight and no one sees him stumbling down the steps in the dark, a typewriter under one arm, ditto machine under the other, brief case in his teeth and throbbing pain in his head... So if it looks like a job for Su­ perman, it is.’’ However, Mark D. Colone of the Uni­ versity of North Carolina-Charlotte offers another viewpoint: “When I first walked into Marty Rasnake’s office aS a fi'eshman I didn’t know what a SID was. That’s how unnoticed our profession is. I accepted a very small scholarship and began my life in this rewarding profession. My first job entailed the simple job of shagging errant soccer balls as they went out of bounds. And I Went expecting to be the official scorer! I got that job after the game and my ca­ reer took off! I’m now the youngest SID in Division I in the country.’’ One of the veterans. Bill Whitmore of Rice, a CoSIDA past president who re­ tired this summer, offered this philoso­ phy: “’At least they let us in the game fi'ee and give us a good seat and a meal.” What does the SID do? Maxey Parrish of Baylor answers: “The question might be better posed, ‘What does the SID NOT do?’ Some­ times when I look at what I do and what it takes to do my job well, it’s almost scary. “Between press releases, statistics. brochures, media guides, recruiting material) posters, newsletters, hosting events, travel to other events and gener­ ally being the athletic department’s representative to the public and the media, the different duties pile up. But the bottom line, in addition to doing all the things normally associated with a SID, is to be accessible and helpful. A SID can have lots offaults but lack of ac­ cessibility CANNOT be one of them. ” “The increase in electronic media coverage has made my job more diffi­ cult now after 17years in the business,” Bateman ofthe Air Force submits. “This really has spread the SID very thin since the print and electronic boys con­ stantly are vying for the SID’s attention, which puts you in a difficult situation. ” George Wine, SID at the University of Iowa, raises a point on a tough facet of the job: ”At some schools the SID is to service the coaches, not the media. For­ tunately, I have always been able to convince my bosses that I am an infor­ mation person first and a publicist sec­ ond. The campus phone book one year listed me as 'Sports Informant’ which sounds a little like Watergate’s “Deep Throat.’ But that’s the toughest part of the SID job.” Johnny (Ranger) Keith, formerly of O^ahoma U. and now at New Mexico, agrees, adding, “Coaches think you are solely a promoter of their athletes. Maybe so, in a small way. But the title Sports Information Director means to me you’re a news service more than a promotional tool. "Probably the most important phase of the job,” Keith adds, “is serving as a liaison between coaches, athletes, staff and the media, solving their differen­ ces, explaining to one party why the other does this or that, and getting the parties together when necessary. A sports information director who goes home at 5 p.m. isn’t doing his job. If I came home at 5 p.m. my wife would shoot me for breaking and entering,” Keith added. David Housel of Auburn agrees, con­ tributing, Too many SID’s are afraid of losing their jobs. The good SID must act as the middleman and he continually walks a tight rope between the media and the coach, defending the coach when necessary. He must not be afraid to tell a coach he is wrong. He — the SID — is a paid professional and he is just as important in his area of expertise as coaches are in their areas.” Not all SID’s have this problem. Mike Treps of Oklahoma is a lucky one. "We are fortunate in that our coaches do not believe in closed practices or locker rooms, so there is little trouble getting anyone you need. The fact you cart promise a writer or broadcaster he or she can have access to the coach, or athlete of their choice without having to contact the coach or athlete is a big help in my job. ” Interviews, expecially with a great star, can pose problems, as Claude Felton of Georgia reminds in the case of Herschel Walker. “In Herschel’s freshman year, we were receiving 12-15 interview requests a day, fi'om all over the country, and 95 percent of them were for in-person in­ terviews. Time was a premium, but one writer from San Francisco flew to Atlanta, drove 65 miles to Athens, talked to Herschel for 20 minutes, and flew back home,” Felton marveled. It’s the unusual which makes the SID job interesting, or heartbreaking. Jim Garner, now athletic director at Appalachian State but formerly SID at Texas Christian, admits, “My most memorable moments deal with tragedy. In 1971, our head football coach, Jim Pittman, died on the side­ lines of a heart attack during a game at Waco; in the spring of 1972, his replace­ ment, Billy Tohill, had a terrible auto ac­ cident and had a foot amputated, .^nd in 1974 halfback Kent Waldrep suffered a paralyzing injury in a game against Alabama. In each case, handling the media called for special tact.” Mike Wilson of Washington re­ members a not-so-tragic incident in­ volving Bob Murphy of Stanford. “While there are many stories of coaches leaving the SID’s at the airport, Murphy did one better, ” Mike contrib­ utes. “In the days before hijackings, it was not uncommon for the SID to drive his car loaded with media people right on the runway, unload and have the air­ line people turn the car in to the rental agency at the airport. That’s exactly what Murphy did, and it wasn’t until the plane was 10,000 feet off the ground he realized he still had the rental car keys in his pocket. He never heard how they got that car off the runway.” But maybe the biggest crisis was faced by Marv Homan of Ohio State, who reminds: "I was an assistant in the mid-’50s and the Big Ten Skywriters were making their visit to Columbus. As I was greeting the writers as they left the bus for our practice, some of the early departures were coming back. Coach Woody Hayes had barred the gates for the press. Eventually, Woody left practice and talked to the writers, but the reception was short of cordial.” continued you can call me sid continued Nick Vista of Michigan State still shudders over one of his embarrassing moments. "It was Michigan State-Ohio State on national TV in 1972 when I was assis­ tant to Fred Stabley, ” Nick shuddered. "For the first time in my career, I didn’t check the uniform numbers. We launch a drive and I'm on the lower photo deck when it appears our drive is stalled and we ll kick a field goal. I spot a No. 5 warming up and I suddenly realize we don’t have a No.>5 on the roster. Much to my horror, I realize it’s a soccer player of Dutch descent brought up by Duffy late in the week from the junior varsity. His name is Dirk Kryt. I knew I had the J.V roster in my brief case, but by the time I got there Dirk had booted a 23yard field goal, the first of four he was to kick that afternoon. "We finally got the word to everyone who the kicker was, but we didn’t have the name spelled right nor did we pro­ nounce it correctly. Keith Jackson never lets me forget that error. ” ' Publicity men get blamed for many things, but Haywood Harris of Tennes­ see takes the prize. "It was my duty to see the bus was at the airport when the team arrived on Friday afternoon, ” he admits. "But when the team was aboard, the bus wouldn’t start. The driver gave the coach the bad news the fan belt was broken. "The coach yelled. Hey, Haywood, didn’t you check the fan belt?’ and the only retort I could make was a weak, 'Well, coach, it was working last time I looked. ”’ Jack Zane of Maryland won’t forget the night the lights went out in Virginia, either. "When I was at George Washington, we played a few games in Alexandria and Arlington, Va.,’’ he prompted. ‘We were playing The Citadel and had the papers all on Saturday night deadlines. The moment the 12,000 fans left the sta­ dium, all the lights were turned offi The stadium manager informed me we had rented the stadium for the game and the game was over. It took a little cash to get the lights on for the press box. "The Oyster Bowl stadium in Norfolk had the Telex machines on the ground floor and the press stories were sent down by pneumatic tubes. I went to the Western Union with some special in­ structions, only to find no copy had come down the tubes, the containers being stuck between floors. Everyone had to start writing all over.’’ Ralph Carpenter, of Texas A & M, but then of Texas Tech, remembers a smashing experience, “The athletic di­ SZt Among the myriad duties of a sports information director, having the press box ready for the press corps is Just one. rector and I were planning to take a plane from Lubbock to Dallas and as usual, we were late starting. In haste to get his bags in the car, I left my suitcase right behind the rear wheel and when we backed out... Well, you should see me walking through the lobby with my Fruit of the Loom undies.hanging out of the battered bag.” Will Perry recalled the time the county health inspector closed all the concessions in the Michigan stadium, including the stand which sent the box lunches for the writers in the press box. He also mentions the case of the miss­ ing pencil sharpener in the press box. "Everything was in order, until Joe Falls from the Free Press complained about the lack of a pencil sharpener, and sure enough, someone had stolen it, just as someone had from my pre­ decessor, Les Etter, years before,” Will recalled. There are many stories of the SID facing a frozen mimeograph machine, but legend says it was Wilbur Snypp of Ohio State who solved the problem by pouring a fifth of vodka into the frozen ink well and everything came out fine. Butch Henry of Arizona and formerly at Arkansas points out the hardships of a family-man SID. "Our first child was born on a Satur­ day in October. My wife came out of the delivery room, we named the child and I caught the plane for Dayton and walked into the press box as they were playing the National Anthem. Our sec­ ond child was born on the last day of the Arkansas Relays. "My wife called the press box to say she was ready to go to the hospital. Soon as the prelims of the mile relay were over I rushed home, took her to the hospital and told her, ‘Hang on un­ til the mile relay finals are over.’ "Sure enough, I saw the winning team break the tape and still made it to the delivery room on time. Maybe this is why we have only two children,” Butch laughed. Maybe the best answer to "What does the SID do?” was supplied by Rich Brewer: "I got a phone call from a guy in Norfolk who told me he was interested in replacing me at Carolina and wanted to know who he should contact about it. He was quite seripus and said he was tired of his job and liked Chapel Hill. "Then he asked the key question: What exactly do you do?’ I couldn’t answer him then and I can’t now. ” Vista, also a former CoSIDA presi­ dent, sums it up: "Write what you want, but please remember that we couldn’t be in a more exciting or rewarding busi­ ness. Working with the thousands of fine student-athletes over theyears and meeting the hundreds of media folks has been something. We may not get our glory, or our pay, or even our just return, but kicks we do get to boot.”^ With FALS One-Stop System it’s never been easier to lease a new Ford.

I was the youngest commissioner in the nation when I started in the Big Eight Conference at age 34,” says Wayne Duke of the Big Ten. "I thought I knew all the answers, but found out I didn’t know half the questions.” Managing and maintaining peace in a conference is often revvarding, often frustrating in the ever-changing world of collegiate athletics. Indeed, because so many decisions are made in the courtroom these days, a law degree might be helpful. And with television’s megabucks being such an integral part of the sports scene, a commissioner had better loiow about such things as ratings, markets and contracts, and be on a first-name basis with network executives. The role of commissioner has ex­ panded considerably in recent years,” says Dick Martin of the Missouri Valley Conference. "A commissioner must be involved with TV, promotion and mar­ keting much more now. Frankly, much of my time is spent on TV. "Then there are such things as eligi­ bility and enforcement, which are very important. There are more issues to­ day, such as financial pressures on institutions.” Martin served in various athletic capacities to prepare himself to be a commissioner. He was a high school and college football coach, a college athletic director and was a Big Eight administrator. Duke didn’t coach and wasn’t an ath­ letic director, bur came from a public relations background to work for the National Collegiate Athletic Associa- ___i Patty Viverito Commissioner — Gateway Collegiate Athletic Conference Dick Martin Commissioner Missouri Valley Conference tion and was commissioner of the Big Eight before going to the Big Ten. One thing Duke, or any other com­ missioner, can’t be is a fan. I m not an Iowa Hawkeye, a Michi­ gan Wolverine or a Wisconsin Badger, ” says Duke. "I’m all those people. Every­ one must realize that what a commis­ sioner does is for the common good. I actually consider myself a very pri­ vate person, but as commissioner of the Big Ten I feel I’m working in a fishbowl. We re sitting in a very large geographi­ cal base, which means we have a large number of followers, as well as some critics. Even though I’m a sensitive person, I can accept the criticism of people if they know what we as a conference are doing is for the good of all 10 teams. ” Duke feels commissioners are often given too much credit when something good happens and too much blame when something not so good happens. "We have a lot of influence at such things as NCAA meetings, but have different roles,” Duke commented. "I hope people respect me for what I say. But I feel I don’t carry any more weight than the commissioner of any other conference.” Duke is in charge of a conference of­ fice that employs 18 persons. The Big Ten, with its lucrative Rose bowl con­ tract and its ability to put an unusual number of teams in other bowl games and national basketball tournaments, is viewed with envy around the country. Although Duke won’t say so, much of the reason the Big Ten has fared so well in those areas is because of him and his years of experience in working with in­ fluential persons at the national level. By the same token, there also may be a "backlash” effect in other leagues be­ cause of the success the Big Ten has continued CONFERENCE COMMISSIONER continued had. "I know my job is much mdre com­ plex than it was years ago, ” said Duke. "In the old days, a football man might be moved upstairs to the conference of­ fice to assign officials for games, and that was about all there was to his job.’’ Fred Jacoby was commissioner of the .the Mid-American Conference from 1971-82, and has been in charge of the Southwest Conference ever since. "My feeling is that a conference office has two functions—service and regula­ tion, ” says Jacoby, who adds that his job is "on my mind seven days a week. ” Jacoby wishes he had more time to digest all the things there are to read in regard to his job. He spends a consid­ erable amount of time talking on the telephone about rules and the interpre­ tation of them. Every night he takes home a briefcase filled with materials he hasn’t had time to deal with in his office. "We have nine men’s sports and eight women’s sports in the Southwest Conference,’’ Jacoby said, "and finan­ cing is a very big item. We make money from football, TV, the conference post­ season basketball tournament and a lit­ tle from baseball in men’s sports, but the women have no sports in which re­ ceipts exceed expenses.’’ Because Jacoby spent many years as a coach, he admits having a "sensitivity to coaches and the recruiting process. It would help to have a law background so you could understand the legal pro­ cess,’’ he said. "The job is more difficult than it was in the 1970s because of so many legal matters. But I think those of us who have a background in coaching have an advan­ tage in being a commissioner. I can re­ late to the coach’s position.’’ Jacoby said the most dramatic change in the commissioner’s job has been the growth of women’s programs. He feels there are more rewards than frustrations on the job "because there’s so much variety." Variety is something Tom Hansen of the Pac-10 is used to. Hansen, who has been executive director of the Pac-10 since August of 1983, spent 15 years on the staff of the National Collegiate Ath­ letic Association (NCAA) where he was involved in all facets of the admini­ stration of intercollegiate athletics. As Fred Jacoby Commissioner — Southwest Conference head of the NCAA Communication De­ partment he directed, among other things, all the Association’s activities in public relations and marketing. Hansen’s appointment at the Pac-10 is a kind of "coming home,” since he spent six years in the 1960s as director of public relations for the Athletic Asso­ ciation of Western Universities — the forerunner of the Pacific-10 Conference. "I have found that being executive director or commissioner of a major conference is one of the most chal­ lenging and invigorating positions in the world of athletic administration,” said Hansen. "The primary charge is to provide service and leadership to the member institutions of the conference. But there are many publics to be served. While we are primarily concerned with the administration of athletic programs, it must be remembered that these pro­ grams fall within the larger context of higher education, in the case of the Pac-10 some of the country’s foremost institutions of higher learning. You also are operating in the very real world of-business, and in this day and age, a solid grasp of both fiscal and legal matters are a necessity. All of this is done under the glare of considerable attention. In short, you wear many hats.” Steve Hatchell, commissioner of the Metropolitan Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, commonly called the Metro, would like to be a fan, but knows he can’t. ‘You go to a game and cheer for the guys wearing the black and white shirts —the officials, ” said Hatchell. "You hope they make all the right calls.” The Metro is primarily a basketball conference, but all the schools play football on an indepehdent basis. In a way, it surprised Hatchell that he was picked for the job l^st year. "At my age (36), L didn’t think there would be much opportunity to be a commissioner, ” said Hatchell, who was in the Big Eight office at the time. "But the Metro expressed an interest in me, and I pursued the job.” Patty Viverito took office as the first commissioner of the women’s Gateway Collegiate Athletic Conference two years ago, and calls it a "fun job — the most rewarding I’ve ever had.” Viverito studied marketing in college, worked as a sales representative, went back to college to study sports manage­ ment and calls herself a "frustrated jock.” "You serve as a mediator,” she says. "We have 10 schools and nine sports. At national meetings, women are starting to be noticed. When those running the meetii^gs see five or six skirts in the room, they say, 'Well, now, howwill this ruling concern women?’ It used to be that women weren’t really heard from. ” The biggest change for Lou McCul­ lough, commissioner of the TransAmerica Conference — primarily a basketball league — is that now he is re­ sponsible for 10 teams instead of one. Before going to the Trans-America, he was the athletic director at Iowa State. "We’re a small conference,” said McCullough, "and money is our big problem.” Ken Free is commissioner of the Mid­ eastern Athletic Conference. He thinks . commissioners must be marketing ex­ perts more than in the past. "You have to be a super-salesman, ” Free said, “in order to bring in the needed revenue.” Free said much qf his job entails "making sure our schools play by the rules and continue in the pursuit of excellence.” "HOW BIC DOES IT KMl « BEATS me; 20 i John McEnroe doesn't hand out compliments easily.

Gale Sayers and Fred Biletnikoff and Jack Snow and Tucker Frederickson and Ralph Neely were among them as well, and while each of those players impacted the professional game and are success stories in other disciplines today, none has remained so visible as Butkus.

We even watched bemusedly as he toyed with a singing career. And if Dick Butkus is right, we will Baylor’s Lawrence Elkins left the foot­ ball field for the oil fields. watch him on some prime-time tele­ vision venture again this fall. All that is certain is that he will not be playing Don Knotts’ character on something called Mayberry RF3D. Twenty years ago, Butkus never dreamed television dreams. In 1964, all that mattered to him was winning. Being an All-America didn’t give him the rush it had the previous autumn. “It wasn’t that big a deal,” he remem­ bers. “I was an All-America my junior year (1963) and we went to the Rose Bowl. In 1964, we were picked to win the Big Ten, but at that time, you couldn’t repeat as the conference rep­ resentative to the Rose Bowl. "We got off to a bad start our senior year. It was a pretty disappointing sea­ son for us.” Far more disappointing perhaps than last season and the end of “Blue Thunder.” " 'Blue Thunder’ ’ ’ was a good oppor­ tunity,” he said. “I took it because it was good experience and to show that I was serious about television and about acting. I decided that maybe two years ago. I wasn’t thinking about making it a career until then. “But I began to realize that I really liked the little bit of acting I had done and I just decided to move everybody out here to California. So far it’s worked out. I’m considering various offers for the next television season and there might be a movie deal coming up too.” And the beer commercials. “Oh, yeah. I just shot another one. ” And now back to Dallas. Dallas is the real life address of Ralph Neely, who runs Ralph Neely and Associates, a real estate development corporation. Neely, a Cowboy for his entire career, played the game so well he joined Butkus and Sayers on the Pro Football Hall of Fame selection com­ mittee’s all-pro team of the 1960s. Unlike Butkus, being an All-America at Oklahoma in 1964 made a great deal of difference in Neely’s future. “It was one of the real big deals that happened to me sports-wise, ” Neely remembers. "I hadn’t thought about playing football professionally until I got to college. I went there to get an education. I always thought that if foot­ ball came along, it came along. "Well, it came along and I played 13 years professionally, but I didn’t know if I could make it at one point. ” Rick Redman was a force at Washing­ ton In 1964. All-America wide receiver Jack Snow was a standout at Notre Dame. Help^g to assuage Neely’s fears was his 19^4 All-America selection at offen­ sive tackle. You see, he knew he could play defense, because he’d been selected All-America at defensive tackle in 1963. "In 19631 played both ways, actually, ” Neely said. “ I averaged 50 minutes a game or something like that. In 1964, they put in the free substitution rule and the coaches told me they were going to move me to offense and keep me there. ” The 1964 season was not a particu­ larly good one at Oklahoma, which put it in common with any season in which the Sooners do not win the Big Eight Championship, but the disappoint­ ment felt in Norman, Okla. didn’t sting Ilike that felt at Auburn.

"I guess if you really want to put it in perspective, that was a big deal,” said Frederickson. “I wasn’t expecting any­ thing like that, but I wound up being the first player taken in the draft by the Giants. ” The Giants selected a running back who would have a fine rookie season. But Frederickson had knee surgery in each of the next two seasons and had a very painful time hanging on until 1971, when his career ended. “I guess being an All-America had a lot to do with me coming to New York and getting into New York business and into New York life,” Frederickson said. “Those things are very important to me now.” In 1963, football was very important to Notre Dame. It just didn’t look that way. And that’s why what happened at South Bend 20 years ago this fall seems so incredible. Ara Parseghian was Notre Dame’s new coach charged with shaking down some of the old thunder. Hugh Devore, in one miserable year at the helm, had gone 2-7. Joe Kuharich, in the four years previous, did not pro­ duce a single winning team. In the three years prior to the arrival of Par­ seghian, Notre Dame never had to worry about the strength of its bench, specifi­ cally because the condition of its starters was plenty enough to produce widespread handwringing. Yet from that same virtually useless bench, Parseghian would excavate two players who would not only become AllAmerica, but who would spark Notre Dame to a national championship in the process. They were wide receiver Jack Snow and quarterback John Huarte. “Being an All-America in that season is something I’ll always remember be­ cause of what transpired in that year, ” said Snow, who does color commen­ tary for CBS college telecasts and works for IDB, a building and developing com­ pany in Seal Beach, Calif "I hadn’t done much until that year. To accomplish as much as we did accomplish that sea­ son was really something. And it was something to come off the bench and finish fifth in the Heisman voting. ” Notre Dame went from a team with Tucker Frederickson of Auburn was the first player taken in the pro draft following the 1964 college season. 100 ways to beat itself to one with 100 ways to beat eveiybody else and didn’t bother to spare many of them on nine straight opponents in 1964. The Irish opened with a 31-7 rout of Wisconsin on the road, won the home opener against Purdue, 34-15, went on the road to whip Air Force 34-7, blitzed UCLA 24-0 and Stanford 28-6 at Notre Dame, mauled Navy 40-0 at Philadelphia, nudged Pitt at Pitt 17-15, then ripped Michigan State 34-7 and Iowa 28-0 at home. It wasn’t until their final game at USC that the Irish stumbled. “Typical USC stuff, ” Snow said. “We were No. 1 and unbeaten. We led at the half 17-0 and lost 20-17. ” Nonetheless, Notre Dame was given the MacArthur Bowl as the nation’s top team at season’s end. "It was just remarkable because we were under a new coach with a lot of new players who had never played to­ gether before,” Snow said. “It really was a tribute to coaching and what coach­ ing can do. “What some of us did was remarkable, continued 69t THE 1%4-ALL AMERICAS continued but more remarkable than anyone was John Huarte.” John Huarte, now in Tempe, Ariz., ex­ plained where he is and what he does 20 years after.

I hadn’t even played enough to win a letter, but I thought I was a pretty good athlete. “I was just kind of thrust into this situation. I knew I was the best passer on the team, but I didn’t even know if we were going to use much of a passing offense.” Parseghian put in plenty of passing but he put in enough of something intangible and even foreign to Notre Dame at that point in its history to make the largest portion of the improvement finishing a collegiate career in which he gained 6.5 yards per carry. Today, he works for a public relations firm in Chicago, where he played pro ball for only seven seasons because of almost crippling knee injuries. Yet those seven seasons were a self-sculpted monument to his talent.

In the three seasons through 1963, Huarte had not so much as earned a letter.

Grass had personality. You could grow it, cut it, shape it, even vary the shades of it to suit any whim, not to mention athletic ability. Fast teams were into the crew cut. Slow teams were into the rarely cut. Accusations inevitably were levied. Advantages were gained, albeit they were mostly psychological. Then, as we explored space, got into synthetics and were enamored with the creation of artificial substitutes for milk, potatoes, sweetners and whatnot, grass was no exception. We created artificial grass for our athletic arenas first, then for our very own porches. Artificial turf had no personality. You couldn’t grow it, you laid it. You couldn’t cut it or shape it, you sewed it. And only wear and tear and exposure to F (§) Sheraton Surfrider Hotel Sheraton Hotels, Inns & Resorts Worldwide the sun varied the shade of factory green. Fast teams insisted they became faster, but bad teams rarely became better. It became a status symbol, as do most artificial substitutes. But now, in the year foretold by George Orwell, with Big Brother still a little ways off, the rush for artificial sur­ faces in college football has entered its remission stage. Since we’ve grown so accustomed to this stuff which does not grow, it no longer is a telltale differ­ ence — if it ever really was. Going into this 1984 season, in Divi­ sion I-A football alone 56 schools play their football on artificial turf, while the other 48 still play on the much more traditional grass. There is no rhjmie or reason as to who has it or who doesn’t — nothing to do with geographical location, quality of football or financial assets.

The same holds true in the Big Eight. Only Missouri plays on grass. even split, five on artificial turf and five on grass. In the Southwest Conference, it’s a clean sweep for artificial turf, while in the At­ lantic Coast Conference, grass fields hold a 6-2 advantage. In the Southeast­ ern Conference, six of the 10 teams play on the real thing. ^ ^ In fact, one southern school has gone in the opposite direction, digging up its artificial turf to replant grass ^ Jt was a situation in which the wear and tear on the field was not that im­ portant, ” said the school’s athletic director, pointing out that half his school’s home games were played in a arger city 160 miles down the road. And when we looked at our schedule we realized we had been playing on grass more than artificial turf "And maybe most of all, our climate here is veiy conducive to growing grass,” he said. ® ^ There were some financial considerations, too. The existing artificial turf had been down eight years, and the fibers were wearing thin. So was trac­ tion. It had been the second carpet laid since 1970. It was time for a third. To replace the artificial turf would have cost roughly $475,000, and that did not include the possibility of having to replace the seven-to-eight inches of asphalt padding underneath. If that had been the case, the cost would have nearly doubled. Vet to dig up the existing turf and padding and sprig a field of grass — akin to a hair transplant - the cost ran roughly $350,000. But then, too, you upkeep of the grass field. The artificial turf costs next to nothing, except for a little white­ wash on the lines and maybe a new carpet every eight years or so. Mainten­ ance of the grass field - watering, fertiizing and cutting — is estimated torun roughly $10,000 ayear, but much of that IS already being paid for the upkeep of existing grass practice fields. There was another consideration. Heat Southern fall afternoons are not much different than August after­ noons. It is no secret that these artifi­ cial turfs conduct heat, so when it’s 90 degrees outside, on the playing field it’s liable to be upwards of 120 degrees If you have artificial turf in the South you should be playing at night ” said a southern college coach.

I»y Joe McLaughlin Houston Chronicle he One-back Offense in college football, up to the present time, has been about as scarce as the whooping crane. An offense which has been employed almost exclusively by the professionals has never made much of an impression in college football. Why? To begin with, college coaches have stubbornly adhered to the belief T DBliDj with some justification, that passing teams don’t win championships. And, the One-back Offense is basically a passing formation. Historically, coaches have been cor­ rect in their assumptions. One would be hard-pressed to name a national champion or, in most cases, a confer­ ence champion which was an advocate of the One-back Offense. College coaches, in the main, have stuck to the premise that three things can happen when you throw the foot­ ball, and two of them are bad. Proponents of the One-back Offense, however, point out legitimate reasons why this thinking has been prevalent. One coach says, “College football has always been trendy. One team will continued /Y Will your next AM/FM Receiver also give you Stereoplex television sound? Only if it's Technics.

And passing is the quickest way to do it. One-back Offense theories explain the difference: “The philosophy is this, ” says one coach. “You go into the game with the idea that you want to throw tri6 ball; not that you hBve to. There are three ways to throw the ball: (1) down field; (2) control passing; and (3) option passing. The ideal is to control the ball by passing, much like running teams control it on the ground. “You can’t run the One-back Offense without a good, sharp quarterback,” the coach continued, “because his hands are on the ball all the time. It's the most quarterback offense’ in football. “A lot of coaches don’t want that much pressure on one man. But a sharp quarterback can handle it. That has been proven. The key is for your quar­ terback to control the ball, have a good defense and not to revert to running when you get close to scoring. You tiy to let your predominant ballcarrier have the ball. You get four receivers out real quickly, spreading the other team’s defense. You hope to catch the defense in a lot of one-on-one situations. "Once again, to control the ball passthrow high-percentage passes and don’t often go deep down field. First of all, the coaches must believe m the offense and your kids must be­ lieve in it. It is a sound offense if it is organized properly.” Run properly, the One-back Offense IS highly effective, proponents claim. In the first place, ” says one coach, not niany people can just line up and blow the opponent’s defense away. It is easier to teach pass blocking, especially since the rules have changed where an offensive lineman can use his hands if he is in a retreat block or giving ground. That s one reason even predominant running teams now are throwing more.” Most college coaches agree that the day is gone when one team can line up and simply overpower another one Use only as directed. continued come out with something new, have some success with it, and all of a sud­ den everyone is trying it. It happened that way with all the offenses — the Single and Double Wings, the Split Backs, the Veer, the Wishbone, the I and the Multiple Offense. If a few more teams start having s^e success with the One-back Offense, you will see more college coaches turning to it.” mil^s © 1984 ,5 ^ HALF-TIME ACTIVITY e A ».a, e^ptoKS One^ otiense use. pass to set up the run. w Wi week m and week out. Consequently, the traditional running teams are now passing more. "One reason for that, ” a coach says, IS that everybody is putting their best athletes on defense, and the offense has to find new ways to move the ball ” Another coach says, "If a One-back Offense team knows what it is doing. It s the hardest to defense. With four receivers going out, a defense generally can take two of them away, but with four it’s tough. ■Then they say. Well, the defense then ^11 put seven defensive backs into the game.’ That’s what you would love to see if you are a One-back offensive coach. That way you have the other people guessing all the time. Then you can come back with your traps, draws, counters and sweeps It’s a constant cat-and-mouse game ” eall^ a team will pass about 50 per­ cent of the time in a One-back Offense If you are throwing 75 percent of the ime, you re usually tiying to catch up. Many passing teams get the ball in scoring position and then turn to the run, and most often, fail. The key to the One-bacl^is that you start with the pass and y^ finish with it. ” "Perhaps the most successful passing team in the college ranks is Brigham Young University, says one coach. “They are not strictly a One-back Offense, even though their philosophy is similar. A lot of the West Coast teams are using it more-probably more than any other section of the country.” Like most changes in college football strategy the popularity of One-back Offense has developed at many places because of necessity. Most teams don’t, and can’t, line up and beat a Texas or a Penn State head to head. It’s a fact of life. Consequently, coaches are trying to find new ways to balance those inequities. As one coach put it, “The One-back Offense is becoming more popular in college. But you still have to have key personnel in any offense. There is no real answer to all the problems, be­ cause there is none.” But the One-back Offense is another exciting chapter in the game. ^ Its a close game. A little too close.

The East vs. West conference champion­ ship game, known as the "State Game,” has been in existence since 1960. Mythical champions were picked by sportswriters from 1934 until 1950 with the champion determined by the Saylor system from 1951 until 1959. All members of the conference (with individual sports exceptions) compete at the NCAA Division II level and have since 1980. Athletes and teams have won numerous honors in national competitions over the years and have helped the PSAC become one of the most respected "small college" conferences in the nation. A list of member schools with their football affiliation includes: Eastern Division — Bloomsburg University, Cheyney University, East Stroudsburg University, Kutztown University, Mansfield University, Millersville Uni­ versity, West Chester University; Western Division — California University, Clarion University, Edinboro Uni­ versity, Indiana University, Lock Haven University, Shippensburg University, Slippery Rock University. 1959 - West Chester 1958 - California 1957 - Lock Haven 1956 - West Chester 1955 - Bloomsburg 1954 - Bloomsburg, West Chester, and E.
