L PRESIDENT — FOSTER F. DIEBOLD President Foster F. Diebold Serving as the current chief executive officer of 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. Recognized for his extensive background in the field of higher administration and management. President Diebold served as President of the Uni­ versity of Alaska Statewide System from 1977-1979.

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. While seeking to meet the educational needs of its region from both a professional and cultural standpoint, Edinboro now makes contributions in the fields of education, government, environmental improvement, urban and rural problems, crime prevention, and service to business and industry. 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. Although the costs for attending Edinboro rank among the lowest in the Commonwealth, over $8,000,000 in financial aid is available annually to eligible students. Students are admitted to the University in September, January, or at the beginning of each summer session and are considered for admission on the basis of their general scholarship, nature of secondary program, and SAT or ACT scores. ATHLETIC DIRECTOR — JIM McDONALD Athletic Director - Jim McDonald Edinboro University's athletic program was placed under the talented and aggressive leadership of Jim McDonald in July of 1981. Increased emphasis on fund raising to provide a sound scholarship foundation has become his top priority while numer­ ous changes and innovations have also keyed the Scots' athletic program under his direction. Through his efforts more than 1.3 million dollars has been raised during the past three years with an additional $511,000 anticipated during the 1984-85 sports campaign. The funds generated by the energetic athletic director's efforts will be used to assist Edinboro's men and women athletes who compete in the Scots seventeen intercollegiate sports. In addition to maintaining Edinboro's respected winning tradition in intercollegiate athletics, the former health and physical education professor has vastly expanded the University's summer activities. Fifteen summer sports camps are conducted on the University's campus along with fifteen band camps on twelve recently constructed football fields which also accommodate pre-season drills for the University of Pittsburgh Panthers and Duquesne University. Sox Harrison Stadium is the site of the Cleveland Browns vs. the Buffalo Bills annual rookie scrimmage, which has been a yearly mid-summer highlight. The personable athletic director also introduced Edinboro's Hall of Fame program which has evolved into an annual year-ending event to honor present and past athletes. 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 NAfA National Tournament. His teams set 27 University records and made 19 post-season appearances vyhile 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. As an undergraduate, he set nine school records at Wesleyan and was twice voted both AP and UPl basketball All-American. In 1960, he was the second leading scorer in the United States, averaging slightly over 33 points a game, and led his team to the national basketball tournament in Kansas City, Missouri. He was named to the NAIA's All-Tourna­ ment Team in 1959 and 1960. In 1966, McDonald was seli^cted Area Eight Coach of the Year by the easterni Seaboard coaches and that same year was honored as one of the top ten finalists in the Coach of the Year national poll. McDonald's honors also include selection to the West Virginia All-Time College Basketball Team and membership in the West Virginia Sports Hall of Fame. He served four years on the NAIA's AllAmerican selection committee and was chosen by the NAIA to coach an All-American team of NBAbound cagers who won the Gold Medal in Israel's Hapoel Games. In addition to his classroom and basketball coaching duties, McDonald was Edinboro's golf coach for 17 years during which his teams won over 40 tournaments and finished as high as 3rd place at the NCAA Division II National Tournament. As a resident of Edinboro, McDonald has a record of extensive community involvement. He was Little League Baseball Director for four years and for the pa.^t four years, has been a member of the General McLane School Board. He and his wife, Mary Lou, have three sons - Mark, Mike, and Matthew. •) HEAD FOOTBALL COACH — DENNY CREEHAN OFFENSE POINT POTENT AGAIN "My number one concern is to see that all the athletes in our program continue suc­ cessfully toward and obtain their degrees,” added Creehan. 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 1 7-4 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. Creehan was a captain of Edinboro University 1970 team that captured the Lambert Bowl, em­ blematic of the best college football team in the East, won the Pennsylvania Conference Championship and earned a berth in the NAIA national playoffs, He starred in the secondary as a strong safety that season when the Fighting Scots finished their regular campaign undefeated with a 9-0 reco/d. 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. Upon graduation from Edinboro in 1971, Creehan was named offensive coordinator at Key­ stone Oaks High School in Pittsburgh where he directed an offense that netted 300 yards per game. A year later as Keystone Oaks' defensive coordinator, he tutored a unit that allowed only eight points per game and permitted only a 33 percent completion mark by opposing quarterbacks. Creehan distinguished himself in the coaching ranks as defensive coordinator at Edinboro in 1976 when the Scots were ranked fqurth among the nation's NCAA schools in ruling defense and claimed 18 interceptions. In th*e spring of 1977, he performed as acting head coach for Edinboro's Bill McDonald who was on a sabbatical leave. 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 Casey. Edinboro University hopes to maintain its "offensive" reputation on the football field in 1984 as Coach Denny Creehan's Fighting Scots strive to continue the pace which made them one of the most explosive grid squads in the nation. 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. •I KICKING GAME GETS RESPECT L DEFENSE TRADITIONALLY STUBBORN _ SCOUTING THE 1984 SCOTS NAME: Edinboro University of Pa.

"Overall our backfield will have a lot more speed as a group," forecasted Creehan. "Damon is ready to blossom into the great 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'ye 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. Letter winner Dave Gierlak (Buffalo, NY), the third in a trio of brothers to play for the Scots, complements the duo with sophomore Bob Suren (Parma, OH) earning the early nod at tight end. The biggest question mark hovering over the Plaid's offensive forces concerns the offensive line. "It's not that we don't have good people on our line," indicated Creehan, "it's just that they're untested. As a matter of fact, they have the potential to become one of the best offensive lines in our conference," he summed. Trueman kicks his way into the record book. Center Buddy Carroll and tackle Rick Rosenburg, a Steeler signee, have graduated leaving Dom 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. 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 •) v>* L CONFERENCE IS A "MEAT GRINDER" a 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. Newcomer Steve Bourquin (Louisville, OH) has all the tools to log plenty of playing time at either safety slot. 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, who 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. Creehan, who sports an impressive 17-4 card over the past two seasons, has moved into first place on the winning percentage list of Edinboro grid coaches. After five campaigns the Scots' mentor owns a 31 -18-1 record for a .633 mark which surpassed the .614 reading held by former coach Bill McDonald on the strength of a 54-34-7 chart. In addition to the 21 records revised last year, Creehan's charges also extended a streak of consecutive road wins to 13 and have not lost an away game since 1981. The Fighting Scots will tuneup for Conference play by opening the 1984 schedule against a par of West Virginia foes when they kickoff the season September 1 at West Liberty and host West Virginia Wesleyan in a Sox Harrison Stadium home opener on September 8.

ASSISTANT COACHES ASSISTANT COACHES t_________ MIKE BURKE - Defensive Line Taking over the duties of.keeping the Scots' front line of defense stingy once again is 1960 Ambridge High grad Mike Burke who is originally from Baden, Pa. Mike garnered varsity letters while playing both offensive and defensive tackle for the Bridgets before coming to Edinboro in 1962 where he started on the defensive line. He earned a varsity letter in his first season with the Scots, sat out two years and then returned to Edinboro where he received his B.S. in elementary education in 1967. Upon graduation Mike joined the Armed Forces where he spent two years in the Navy before taking a teaching position in Erie, Pa. The Edinboro grad returned to Edinboro for an M.Ed. in 1972 and for six years was a defensive coordinator and assistant varsity coach at Erie's Strong Vincent High School. Highlighting his tenure in Vincents' grid program was the Colonels highly successful 1977 season when they captured the city championship. Mike along with his wife, Lynne, and their two children, Dawnielle and Molly make their home in Erie. MIKE JENOSKI - Offensive Line EDINBORO UNIVERSITY'S 1984 FOOTBALL COACHING STAFF: (Kneeling), Dennis Creehan-Head Football Coach.

TOM HERMAN - Ass't Head Coach, Def. Coordinator D'Ottavio at Morris Catholic. His charges compiled a 3627-1 record that included a trip to the state playoffs and an impressive 14-4 mark over the past two years. Gallagher, a native of Rockaway, New Jersey, earned his B.S. degree from William Patterson College. The Morris Catholic graduate was captain of his high school team and was a running back at William Patterson, where he was honored as the team's most dedicated player. Gallagher and his wife, Pat, reside in Edinboro with their two children, Amy (6) and Bryan (2). Tom Herman begins his tenth year on the Scots' staff where his efforts have continually distinguished his alma mater's grid program. Since his appointment as defensive coordinator in 1979, Edinboro has ranked first in total defense during three of the past four seasons in the Pennsylvania Conference. His traditionally stingy defen­ sive units have also rated among the national leaders during that span highlighted by last year's eighth-place finish after allowing a mere 65.6 yards per game, the second best mark in Edinboro University history. In his first year with the Scots, he tutored the defensive line and followed with a three-year stint as offensive coordinator before returning to the defensive side of the ledger. A standout gridder at Ellwood City's Lincoln High School, Tom continued his football career as both a center and defensive end at Edinboro. Following graduation in 1972, he was an assistant coach at Cambridge Springs (PA) High School until joining the Marshall University grid staff in 1974. After receiving his master's degree from Marshall, Tom returned to Edinboro in 1975 where he now resides with his wife, Kathy. GERRY GALLAGHER - Offensive Coordinator Bringing a broad background,of offensive coaching experience to the Scot camp is veteran mentor Gerry Gallagher, former head football coach at Morris Catholic High School in Denville, New Jersey, for the last seven years. Gallagher, 32, succeeds John D'Ottavio, who was named as assistant coach with the New Jersey Generals. Gallagher, like D'Ottavio, is an expert in the philosophy of the Wing-T offense. An 11 -year veteran high school coach, Gallagher served for three seasons under the tutelage of JIM BOWEN - Offensive Ends ^ Bringing a broad background/^f offensive and defen­ sive coaching experience to the Scot camp is veteran mentor Jim Bowen. Bowen, who is entering his fifteenth season at Edinboro, will also be celebrating his twenty-fifth year in coaching. After graduating from Slippery Rock University in 1957, Bowen amassed an amazing 71-8-1 record in his first nine years as head coach at Fairview High School. Bowen then continued his record-setting perfor­ mances at the Boro where in the early seventies he guided the Scots' offensive units to outstanding finishes at both the state and national levels. Success followed him coaching on the defensive side of the football where he groomed both linebackers and secondary stalwarts who continued to revise Edinboro records. Bowen has helped shape the collegiate careers of such Fighting Scot stand­ outs as linebackers Jim Krentz and Greg Sullivan, the top two tacklers in Edinboro history. In addition, he has tutored such Boro greats as Jim Romaniszyn, Dave Green, Joe Sanford, Bob Mengerink, Al Raines, Howard Hackley and Bob Jahn. The knowledgeable Scot mentor, who earned his master's degree from Buffalo University, resides in Girard. Lowell, Massachusetts' Mike Jenoski begins his second year on the University's coaching staff and serves as an offensive line coach. A graduate of Lowell High School, he earned three varsity letters while playing for the Red Raiders as an offensive tackle. Mike continued his gridiron career at the University of Maine where he garnered three more varsity letters before graduation with a physical education degree in 1983. While operating from an offensive tackle slot, Jenoski was a member of the Black Bears 1982 squad that went 7-4 and finished as Yankee Conference co-champions. Mike will be sharing his exper­ tise with a Fighting Scot offensive line which is long on talent but short on experience. SCOTT SALTER - Linebackers Sharing his expertise with this year's veteran crop of linebackers, while also serving as special teams' coordi­ nator, is Newfane, New York's Scott Salter. The secondyear Scot staff member garnered letters in football, baseball and track at Newfane Central High School where his play for the Panthers' football team netted All-Niagara County offensive guard plaudits. The Newfane native went on to be an offensive line mainstay for the Golden Griffins of Canisius College and earned varsity grid letters in all four years as a guard before receiving his bachelor's degree in physical education. Scott and his wife, Cheryl, have been married for a little over a year and now reside in Edinboro. AL PAQUETTE - Defensive Ends Lewiston, Maine's Al Paquette joins the Scot gridiron staff as a graduate assistant and serves as an defensive ends coach. A graduate of Lewiston High School, Al continued his gridiron career at the University of Maine where he distinguished himself as a student coach in charge of offensive backs in his junior and senior years. Al earned his B.A. degree in marketing in 1982 and served as an assistant coach at State University of New York at Albany in 1983. Currently residing in Edinboro, the new Scot aide is pursuing a master's degree in student personnel services. SCOTT LAUGHINGHOUSE - Defensive Backs Entering his first year in the Edinboro coaching ranks is Scott Laughinghouse, who will groom the Scots' highly touted defensive secondary.

Coach Larry Shank's hopefuls appear ready to make their mark in the West Virginia Inter­ collegiate Athletic Conference. With 40 returning lettermen forming a solid nucleus of experience and 15 starters back at their slots, the HiUtoppers should turn the corner in 1984 and could even challenge for conference title. Although Shank must find a replacement to direct his scoring attack at quarterback, his offensive unit has more overall speed and experience in t)ffe backfield. "We must improve our pass blocking and perimeter offense to be successful," claims Shank. Defensively the HiUtoppers have their front seven returning intact with untested but talented help on hand in the secondary. "Overall we have more depth defensively than we've had in the past," revealed Shank. West Liberty's leadership will come from running back Tim Thomas, offensvie guard Tim Roller, defensive end Steve Remenaric and defensive back Rob Caldwell. Ties against West Virginia Tech and Fairmont, along with a one-point loss to West Virginia Wesleyan, spelled the differnece between a 6-3 finish and a 3-4-2 ledger that the HiUtoppers registered. Shank's charges are confident they have the ingredients to make that difference occur this fall. Wesleyan makes first trip to Sox Harrison Stadium. GENERAL INFORMATION Location: Buckhannon, W.Va.

While Struble waits for his crop of young, but talented newcomers to make their presence known, he will pin his hopes on a defense that features seven returning starters in the lineup. Forming the nucleus of the battletested contingent are linebacker Phil Suehr, tackle Paul Szolis and strong safety Terry McAlister. Most of the defensive experience is found along the defensive front wall and in the lienbacking corps with only the secondary somewhat suspect. The major problem facing Struble and his staff is an offense that shows only four returnees with the skill positions the pivitol areas needing solid replace­ ments. Hoping to improve on last year's disappointing 2-8 record are 18 lettermen who must face another demanding schedule filled with respected West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference foes. Also forming major stumbling blocks for the Wildcats are NCAA Divison II power, Edinboro University, and Division III standout, Dayton. Compounding matters is a 1984 campaign that sees Struble's Bobcats at home on only four dates while six contests are billed on the road.

A crop of 34 lettermen are back to continue the winning trend orches­ trated by quarterback Kevin Russell who led the NCAA II stats with 2,424 yards in the air augmented by a school record 21 TD tosses and a conference/mark of 195 passes. While Perry Kemp, now with Jacksonville of the USFL, one of the nation's premier receivers' is gone; tailback Chris Henthorn (45 catches-422 yards), tight end Gary Bero (23305), wideout Tom Pietrocollo (17-283) and flanker Dave Lease (12-151) are all returning targets. Fullback Scott Jackovitz (507 yards) along with Russell should enjoy the protection offered by an awesome offensive line A stubborn defense which yielded only 13 points per game and allowed only 6 TD passes returns 8 starters.

Junior Eric Denton, who threw only one pass last year, is the heir apparent to Christian's spot with Charles Sanders and Stanley Drummond expected to be the prime movers in a highly emphasized Rocket running attack. Offensive hopefuls will find plenty of talent and experience leading the way up front where all five linemen return to pave the way led by tackle Gary Charmel (6-3,245) and center Mark Herrmann. More balance appears on the Rockets' defen­ sive side of the ledger with the Green and White's 5-2 alignment steadied by rugged ends Jim Watts and George Yarzab. Linebacker-turned-cornerback Craig Bouslough and safety Ron Sachs spearhead an aggressive secondary while the nation's fifth best punter (42.3), Jeff Williams, is back to boot the offense out of trouble.

Last season as a sophomore. Ingold rewrote the lUP record book eight times with an aerial attack where he was successful on 56.8 percent of his passes for 2,388 yards and 16 touchdowns. Prime targets on the receiving end this fall will be tight end Bill Thompson and wide receiver Gregg'Brenner. Thompson is making the switch to an end positon from fullback where he rushed for 648 yards and caught 36 passes for almost 400 yards last year. Brenner led the Braves in catches last fall with 44 grabs for 622 yards. Junior Dave Seidel gained 652 yards on the ground last season on 146 attempts and will play out of the fullback slot this year. Linebacker Paul Scruppi heads a list of eight defensive starters returning to the Indians' camp. Scruppi, the author of 60 tackles in 1983, was named to the PC squad despite missing four games due to an injury. Cornerback Kelvin Lewis, who broke up ten passes and intercepted three, is another top defensive returnee.

Each signal caller passed for more than 1,100 yards with Baranek directing the Warriors to the PC East title and garnering the Eastern Division Player of the Year laurels. Diskin proved a more than capable replacement during the campaign for the injured Baranek when he tossed for more than 200 yards in four games. Back for duty on the offensive unit are split end Tim Bishop, center Drake Hall, guard Bob Caurson, tackle Rick Werner, and a pair of battle-tested fullbacks in Dan Duck and Mike Reichwein. Also waiting to be called on is All-Conference kicker Joey Pingitore who booted a school record 12 field goals last year. Although Douds will be hard pressed to fill the shoes of all four starting linebackers, the Warriors will count on a veteran secondary and defensive line spearheaded by All-PC end Bill Camp. % CLARION UNIVERSITY LOCK HAVEN UNIVERSITY OCTOBER 20 - at Edinboro - 2:00 p.m. OCTOBER 27 - at Lock Haven - 1:30 p.nv.

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/^repower they need on the ground after churning out 1,2f4 yards and 11 TD's as the conference's leading rusher 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. GENERAL INFORMATION Location: Lock Haven.

Featured in the offensive line are PSAC second team selection in tackle Todd Johnson (6-2, 225) who is aiming to move up a notch this year. Fisher looks for improvement from Williams' passing game, where he hit only 34 percent of his attempts last year, to give the Eagle offense better balance. The Bald Eagles are young but experienced in the defensive ranks where a host of talented gridders return to starting assignments. Line­ backers Bill Peterson (6-1, 205) and Stan Allan (6-1, 200) are back in place with the secondary of Jere Warner, Alan Urich, Tom McNally, and Jeff Swanson intact. PSAC First Team middle guard Chris Kustanbauter will anchor the defensive line. UNIVERSITY of PENNSYLVANIA / SHIPPENSBURG UNIVERSITY DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA NOVEMBER 3 - at Edmboro - 1:30 p.m. NOVEMBER 10 - at Edinboro > 1:30 p.m. LAST YEAR'S GAME FIREBIRDS OUTLOOK September 24, 1983 at Shippensburg First year coach Bobby Frazier takes the r< is of a Firebird football program that went 0-10 last > ar and hopes to enjoy the same success he previously expt ienced at Bethune Cookman College in Florida where he compiled a 23-13-1 record. Frazier has served a year as an assistant coach and is in a position to already evaluate the players he has on hand to play a vastly revamped schedule that lists seven new opponents. "This football season looks favorable for us," he said. "We have 25 veterans, mostly sophomores, returning to the gridiron who exhibit a lot of class and character on and off the field." Coach Frazier plans for his Firebirds to use a multiple offense this year. "The l-formation and the pro-set will be our basic lineups." William Parker, a 5-10, 240pound center from Washington, D.C., and senior Cedric Matthews, a 5-11,190-pound running back will help those offensive formations work for Coach Frazier. Marcus Doakes, a 6-1,200-pound linebacker from Houston, Texas, who Coach Frazier describes as a "headhunter" and 5-11, 200-pound defensive back/linebacker Derrick Marshall, also from Houston, will help to anchor a defense that should present problems to opposing offenses. "The coaches and players realize that 'poise' and not promises win football games," said Frazier. "They also realize that you cannot have poise without knowledge. Practice camp will be a learning and teaching process for all of us in 1984." Frazier is also aware of the fact that strict conditioning is a necessity for winning. "We continue to believe that excellent conditioning and losing cannot stay in the same body. Therefore, excellent conditioning, poise and knowledge will be our major thrust. It will be the thrust that consequently will prove to everyone that we are winning Firebirds," he concluded.

Beans was brilliant through the airways last year when he connected on 57 percent of his passes for 1,665 yards and 10 touchdowns. His top target was Reed, who grabbed 45 tosses fp/ 564 yards and 5 scores. Tyrone Reed, an all-conference running back, will be back to headline the Raider's ground attack where he churned out 503 yards last fall. The biggest hurdle Ragazzo'S charges must get over to become a winner, however, is rebuilding a defensive unit that returns only 5 starters from 1983's squad. Defensive end Dave Hurdle, ta'ckle Ron Reinhart, and middle guard Mike Truitt anchor the front wall while linebacker Bob Boyle and safety Mark Brezitski provide support help. Brezitski notched 78 stops last yoar with Boyle chipping in 65 tackles.

Enroute to the winning mark, which was highlighted by an impressive 28-8 victory over Clarion—the eventual Pennsylvania Conference champion. Coach Denny Creehan's gridders registered 21 new records while tying 3 other marks. Junior quarterback Blair Hrovat directed a highpowered Edinboro wing-T offense that netted a record 4,611 yards and revised the single season scoring standard with 412 points. Hrovat personally accounted for 10 new marks which included most plays-career (686), most yards total offense-season (1,938), most total offense-career (4,244 yards), most completions-season (99), most completions-game (18), most touchdown passes-career (35), most touchdown passes-season (19), most passing yardscareer (3,586), most attempts-season (181), and most touchdown passes-game (4). The junior signal caller proved to be one of the most accurate passers in the nation by hitting on 99 of 181 attempts for sparkling 54.7 percentage figure. His top targets were a pair of halfbacks in senior Ron Rankin and junior Bob Klenk along with wide receiver Gary McKnight. Rankin, who was sidelined 3 games, snared 21 passes for 297 yards with Klenk pulling down 17 for 278 and McKnight, who claimed the longest scoring toss of the season—a 68-yard strike—latching onto 16 for 428 yards. Senior tight end Don Harr finished with 10 grabs for 185 yards, 5 of which were TD receptions to lead the team in that category. A trio of backs produced more than 500 yards on the year with senior fullback Keith Collier rambling for 577, junior halfback Bob Klenk winding his way for 517 and fleet-footed sophomore Damon Chambers totaling 507. Klenk proved to be the club's top point getter with 12 touchdowns and a pair of PAT conversions for 76 markers with Chambers claiming third place honors via his 8 TD's and 48 tallies. Paving the way for the Fighting Scot offense were First Team All-Conference senior linemen Rick Rosenberg and Buddy Carroll. Rosenberg, a 6-4, 250-pound offensive tackle, and Carroll, a 6-2, 230-pound center, were the mainstays of a front wall that provided the blocking for a record 461.1 yards per game. Placekicker Jim Trueman also inked his name in the Edinboro record book and became the first freshman in conference history to earn a first team berth. The rookie booter revised both the extra point standard for the season39, and set a new single game mark with 7 successful conversions. He also nailed down runnerup honors in the scoring department with his 69 total points. Not to be denied their share of the limelight was a defensive unit that was the second stingiest against the rush in Edinboro's gridiron history by allowing only 65.6 yards per game and permitted only 14.4 points per game. Spearheading a stubborn Edinboro defense was the linebacking duo of Willie Chealy and Jim Durkin who posted respective 122 and 101 tackle totals. The hard hitting Choaley, who returned to action after breaking his leg last fall, was also a Pennsylvania Conference first team selection. Rounding out the tackling leaders were senior middle guard John O'Rorke with 86 stops, senior defensive ends Bob Beauregard and Phil Giavasis showing identical 75-hit outputs, followed by junior tackles Rick Jordan who showed 64 thumps, and Don Espy with 61 tackles. Jordan, likewise an all-conference selection, was the club's top sack getter with 12 and now has a career total of 22, just 5 shy of the 27-sack team record. Headlining the secondary was senior safety Dave Parker who intercepted 3 aerials while breaking up 13 passing attempts. Parker concluded his career in the Scots secondary tied for runnerup honors on the interceptions chart with 12. Creehan's chargers also claimed the distinction of extending another club record in the win column. The Fighting Scots have not suffered a loss at opponents' stadiums since 1981 and now own a streak of 13 consecutive away victories. The 43 second half points against Mercyhurst set a team record while the 6 intercep­ tions against Shippensburg revised still another standard. Creehan, who followed up 1982's impressive 9-2 card with last year's 8-2 record, moved into the top spot percentage-wise on the all-time win list among past Edinboro coaches. The Scots' fifth-year mentor now owns a 31-18-1 mark for a .633 winning percentage which surpassed the previous high of .614 posted by former coach Bill McDonald on the strength of his 54-34-7 chart. With 13 of 22 starters scheduled for duty next fall and a solid nucleus of 30 lettermen returning, the Fighting Scots should continue their winning ways and prove to once again be a contender for the Western Division title.

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. 1983 - Clarion 27, East Stroudsburg 14 1982 - East Stroudsburg 24, Edinboro 22 1981 - Shippensburg 34, Millersville 17 1980 - Clarion 15, Kutztown 14 1979 - Lock Haven 48, Cheyney 14 1978 - East Stroudsburg 49, Clarion 4 1977 - Clarion 25, Millersville 24 1976 - East Stroudsbgrg 14, Shippensburg 14* 1975 - East Stroudsburg 24, Edinboro 20 1974 - Slippery Rock 20, West Chester 7 1973 - Slippery Rock 28, West Chester 14 1972 - Slippery Rock 29, West Chester 27 1971 - West Chester 35, Edinboro 14 1970 - Edinboro 14, West Chester 6 1969 - West Chester 41, Clarion 34 1968 - California 28, East Stroudsburg 28* 1967 - West Chester 27, Clarion 7 1966 - Clarion 28, West Chester 26 1965 - East Stroudsburg 26, Indiana 10 1964 - East Stroudsburg 27, Indiana 14 1963 - West Chester 36, Slippery Rock 7 1962 - Slippery Rock 13, East Stroudsburg 6 1961 - West Chester 21, Slippery Rock 0 1960 - West Chester 35, Lock Haven 6 *title game ended in a tie 1959 - West Chester 1958 - California 1957 - Lock Haven 1956 - West Chester 1955 - Bloomsburg 1954 - Bloomsburg, West Chester, and E.
