Most of the nation's teams will be wearing helmet decals shaped like a football and featuring the figure 100. Cen­ tennial shoulder patches will also be worn on uniforms. It was back on November 6, 1869, that what is offi­ cially recognized as the first inter­ collegiate game took place at New Brunswick, New Jersey, between Princeton and Rutgers. Rutgers won, 6-4, in something akin to soccer played with a round ball on a 120yard-long field. To commemorate that contest, the same two schools will meet again at New Brunswick on September 27, and the changes brought about in the past 100 years will be aptly symbolized by the television coverage given the game. Throughout the nation this fall, band shows and other festivities will mark the 100th anni­ versary, and Centennial medals and certificates will be awarded by the NCAA to varsity football players. THE FIRST GAME Rutgers vs. Princeton 1869 A crowd of 300 bewildered spectators gathered at Rutgers College Field, New Brunswick, N. J., to see the first intercollegiate football game. The rough and tumble meeting between Rutgers and Princeton was a far cry from the modern game, but it had a semblance of the crowd atmosphere that gives college football the extra something it enjoys today. There was no stadium then to hold the fans. The crowd perched on fence rails around the field's periphery and raised their battle cries in keeping with the tempo of play. Each team consisted of 25 players. Rutgers wore red turbans, but mostly the athletes simply removed their jackets and stormed into one another. The ball was kicked down the field; never carried. Points were scored by kicking or butting the ball between goalposts set twenty-five feet apart at each end of the field. The first team to score six goals won the game. By the 1890's intercollegiate football was played along the lines of Rugby, where the ball is carried. Teams were limited to 11 players and touchdowns could be made in lieu of field goals. Rutgers won the first game 6 to 4 and college football was born. Note:—Edinboro State College will commemorate college football's 100th anniversary with a Centennial Game played against Geneva College on November 1 at 2:00 P. M. at Sox Harrison Stadium. The game will also mark Edinboro's High School Day which is highlighted by the visitation of prospective students who will be on campus. 2— SCOTS' 1969 OUTLOOK Edinboro State's new head coach. Bill McDonald, makes no bones about the debut of his 1969 Fighting Scot grid hopefuls. "We are inexperienced, young and a host of other things," claims the new mentor. "We are trying to fit our best athletes in key positions and will spend a lot of time just drilling on fundamentals." McDonald, who came to the Clan's camp this past spring from Indiana University of Pa. where he was highly successful in guiding the Big Indians' offense, has 23 lettermen returning to the 1969 football wars. However, 16 of those 23 vets were sophomores last season and many of those had to be pressed into service because of the injury bug which continually bit the Scots throughout the '68 campaign. Defensively the Edinboro eleven should be improved over last year's squad. Ten letter winners return to this unit led by All-Conference honorable mention winners linebacker Steve Hamm (6-1,205, jr.) and Dennis Creehan (5-10,189, jr.), a defensive back. Best prospects on the interior line include lettermen Tom McDonough (6-4, 255, jr.), Torry Buck (6-0, 200, jr.), Ed Thompson (5-11, 215, jr.) and John Sullivan (6-0, 215, so.). Defensive end candidates Joe Romanovich (6-1, 190, jr.) and Dave Mezie (6-0, 186, so.) should make the Scots respectable at the terminals, while veteran middle guard Ebby Hollins (6-2, 200, jr.) will give the Clan experience at that slot. Hollins returned to the gridiron this past spring after a year's absence and was one of the defensive standouts in the spring game. Rounding out the defensive secondary are linebackers Gary Sisko (6—0,186, so.) and Gordie Kissman (6—0, 195, so.) with backs Larry Rollick (5-10, 172, jr.) and Joe Bufalino (5-9, 160, sr.). Sophomores Rick Jarmul Joe Sass and Dominic larocci are pressing hard. Offensively the big question mark is, who will earn the nod at the quarterback slot? Battling for the post are juniors Tom Mackey (5-11, 180) and Barry Masterson (5-11, 170) who took turns at the helm last season along with newcomer Joe Kodba (5—11, 192), a junior college transfer. Kodba comes to the Clan camp with some impressive statistics behind him. All but one of the leading candidates in the backfield are new facesTailback hopefuls are John McCurry (5-10,173, jr.), a Boston College trans­ fer, Al Raines (5-9, 176, so.) and Jerry Mifsud (5-7, 170, so.). The fullback slot should be filled by Greg Lomax (5—9, 190, so.), a transfer from Eastern Arizona Junior College. Probable quarterback targets are split ends Gary Roth (5-11, 170, jr.) and Don Roccia (5-7, 165, jr.); tight ends Santo Policicchio (6-1, 190, so.) and Jim Tabaczynski (6-0, 190, jr.) along with flankers Paul Johnston (6-2, 190, jr.) and John Compel (5-11, 160, so.). Bulwark of the offensive line is senior right tackle John Ballard (6-3, 223). Bob Hoover (6-2, 200, sr.) and Lee Robinson (6-1, 205, jr.) both earned letters at tackle slots last year while sophomore Ken Zbinovec (6-0, 195) will be vying with the trio for a starting berth. Other interior linemen jobs are being sought by guards Paul Burkell (6-1, 190), Keith Laslow (5-5, 180), Floyd Konet (6-0, 210), and center Ed Quinn (6-0, 200). Most of the starting roles are big question marks that can only be answered as the season progresses. It appears that the Scots will once again have to struggle to keep in step with the competition that studs their grid schedule. -4- SCOT SKETCHES JOHN BALLARD (73) OT, 6-4, 240, SR., 2 L, CHERRY GROVE John has been the Scots' regular offensive right tackle for the past two seasons ...

The Scots are the only new item on the Eagles' 1969 agenda which includes two teams that just edged the Golden Ones in the scoring column to leave them with a 3-4 slate. Ouarterback Mike Driscoll (6-1, 180, jr.) connected on 27 of 52 attempts last year and proved to be the versatile field general that D'Agostino has been looking for. The offensive backfield boasts team captain Carl Kuras (5-10, 190, sr.) at a halfback slot along with sprinter Gene Oyler (5-9, 160, jr.) on the other side. Another speedster is flanker Steve Lashbrook who will give defensive halfbacks all they can handle. Lashbrook, a sophomore, tied the college record in the 100-yard dash last spring with a 9.7 clocking. Topping the offensive tackles is Regan Beers (5-11, 212, jr.), a veteran letter winner. The interior line is shored up by hard core guards Tom Buntich (5-9, 185, jr.) and Gary Westervelt (5-11, 195, sr.). Seasoned performers Tom Wiedl (6-0, 190, sr.) and Bill Brodmerkle (6-0, 185, sr.) will spearhead the defense from the end spots. Phil Haberstrow (6-1, 185, so.) has been paired with Dan O'Herron as the Eagle linebackers while Dan Massey and Bob "Mr. Everything" Nugent patrol the secondary area with Oyler. 1969 Schedule Sept. Sept. Sept. Oct. Oct. Oct. Oct. Nov. 13 20 27 4 11 18 25 1 The Scots and the Polar Bears staged a real shoot out last year in Sox Harrison Stadium to keep the fans on the edge of their seats. With only six minutes remaining in the first half and the visiting Ohioans in command 13-0, Barry Masterson entered the Edinboro lineup and gave the Clan a 20-13 lead at the intermission. The Scots upped the lead in the second half but the Bears clawed their way to within one point 27-26 in the final canto. An attempted two-point conversion failed for the visitors on their final touch­ down as well as a 32-yard field goal attempt before Edinboro came away with the nailbiter. Polar Bear Coach "Stretch" Roberson will have a nucleus of some 29 returning lettermen in his crop of 48 veterans that will be striving to put the Orange and Black on the winning side of the ledger. Roberson's squad boasts 15 returning letter winners on the offensive unit and 13 re­ turnees on the defensive hopefuls. The remaining award winner is the Bears' kicking specialist, Greer Portz, a 5-11, 202 pounder from Rocky River, Ohio. Roberson commented that the "prospects are average for a good season." The team appears to be fairly young with only 10 seniors on a squad that includes almost 50 freshmen prospects. Joe Zianno, who handled most of the quarterbacking duties last season, will be competing with sophomore Max Eastman for the field general job. Guard Greg Freewalt, linebacker Jim Fender, and end Dan Walker have been elected captains for the Polar Bears' 1969 campaign. 1969 Schedule 1968 Results (3-4) Brockport 12 Grove City 0 Alfred 49 Nichols 28 Indiana U. of Pa. 6 Cortland 27 Mansfield State 60 Bridgewater Edinboro State Grove City Alfred at Nichols Indiana U. of Pa. at Cortland at Mansfield State at Bridgeport 10— — Opponent 20 17 0 48 7 20 0 Sept.

With 1969 being the year of man's conquest of the moon, SRSC grid followers are hopeful that this 100th year of college football will also mark the launching of the first stage of another successful Rocket. Head Coach Bob DiSpirito, beginning his third season, feels that optimism is well-founded. Even though his squad is composed of only 8 seniors, DiSpirito eyes '69 as the year the Rockets will escape from the doldrums of three straight losing campaigns. His hopes are reflected through a star-studded backfield, which should emerge as the most explosive foursome in the Pennsylvania Conference. Although a conference championship may be a year away, the 1969 Rockets promise to be an exciting aggregation—one that will put points on the scoreboard. There are weak spots. To what heights the Rockets will soar will be dependent on how fast the inexperienced sophomores and juniors shore up the gaps left by graduation. Improvement must come from the offensive line, which must be rebuilt from the ground floor, and the defensive secondary, which gave up 16 touchdown passes a year ago. Much of the load must be carried by the eight experienced seniors, all lettermen, led by Little All-American tailback candidate Jay Wagner along with his co-captain, defensive back Steve Konick. Both were second-team All-Conference choices as juniors. Eight starters from 1968 were lost through graduation, but 27 lettermen are back. Six regulars return to the offensive unit and eight to the defensive first team. "Barring any key injuries, we should field the biggest and best backfield in our league," comments head coach Bob DiSpirito. "The war cry at Slippery Rock is 'nine for nine in sixty-nine.' This is quite an ambitious undertaking, but the staff feels it is not an impossible mission." 1969 Schedule Sept. Sept. Sept. Oct. Oct. Oct. Oct. Nov.

Lock Haven State at Clarion State Klausing's tribe swept through regular season play last year with a perfect 9-0 record only to be edged 31-24 in the final 18 seconds by Delaware at the Boardwalk Bowl in Atlantic City. Ranked among the top 20 small colleges at the close of the '68 season, the Big Indians should once again prove to be the Pennsylvania powerhouse. When Indiana University of Pennsylvania head football coach. Chuck Klausing, glances at his two-deep lineup for the 1969 season, he sees both feast and famine. For example, on the lean side, he sees that his tentative second-line units on both offense and defense consist of 11 green sophomores, eight inexperienced and unlettered upper­ classmen, and just three lettermen. On the plus side, however, when the situation is good, it's very good. Last year's offensive spark plugs, the backfield that exploded for more than 38 points every Saturday, return for another season together. Quarterback Wally Blucas will once again run the Big Indian Attack, handing off to tailback Dan Cox and fullback Tom McCracken and throwing to flanker Dave Smith. If sophomore Dave Connolly makes the grade at offensive left tackle. Bob Prokay will vacate his regular spot there and transfer to right guard. On the starboard side he will team with regulars tackle Joe Kovalchick and tight end George Stark. On defense, veteran safety Barry Ruffner heads the list of five regulars set for another campaign. He will be joined by cornerback Chuck Hasse in the secondary while end Jack Neptune and tackles Bob Pastine and Tony Ferrari will anchor the line. Because of the serious lack of depth, however, several other varsity new­ comers, in particular tailback Larry Monsilovich and defensive back Bill Hall, could challenge for jobs especially if the injury bug hits. 1969 Schedule 1968 Results (9-1) 1968 Results (3-6) Slippery Rock Opponent 12 Westminster 34 7 Waynesburg 28 16 Edinboro State 0 12 Shippensburg State 21 6 California State 42 12 25 Wilmington (Ohio) 15 Indiana U. of Pa. 44 19 Lock Haven State 14 17 Clarion State 23 — 12— Sept.

Dir................Bob Coltrane Phone.............................. 717 748-6545 Raid Eagles EAGLES' OUTLOOK Eagle coach, Al Jacks, can once again expect his charges to come away with a winning slate. This is nothing new to the Clarion mentor who has only dropped 14 of 54 grid contests since he took the leadership six years ago. Since then his blue and gold teams finished 10-0 in 1966 cap­ turing the state championship and followed up with the Western Division crown in 1967 with an 8—2 ledger. Jacks' Eagles lost 13 lettermen, but have 28 award winners returning for action this season. Bob Erdeljac (5-11, 172), a junior quarterback from Oakmont, is the big reason the Golden ones will be in contention for the division title. Last year the sophomore signal caller passed for 1,809 yards to finish seventh in the nation and second in the con­ ference. His 57.8 percentage in completions topped the league, however. The overall Eagle offense should be stronger with standout halfback Bob Oberdorf (5-9, 168, jr.) and fullback John Abal (5-10, 198, jr.) to carry the pigskin. Favorite targets of Erdeljac are Larry McNulty, a 6-0, 207-pound senior and Jim Kocan, a 5-7, 160-pound split end. Anchoring the offensive line is conference honorable mention tackle, Tom Komenda (6-0, 215, jr.). Eight more seasoned veterans are also on tap to make the offensive unit go. The Eagle defensive unit has only 3 defensive veterans left in the persons of junior end Dick Smith (6-2, 185), senior middle linebacker Elmer Schultz (5-11, 197) and senior defensive halfback Andy Brindger (5-11, 170). The Jacksmen finished second in the conference to California's mighty Vulcans in '68 only after a hard fought 26-21 battle. Powerful Indiana provided a close 18-13 loss while Delaware State also dropped the Golden ones. The Eagles could very well claw their way to the top this year. 1969 Schedule Sept. Sept. Sept. Oct. Oct. Oct. Oct. Nov. Nov. 13 20 27 4 11 18 25 1 8 BALD EAGLES' OUTLOOK In his first year as the Bald Eagles' head mentor. Bob Weller will be building his 1969 grid machine from among 70 prospective candidates which include a nucleus of 18 returning lettermen. Coach Weller, defensive line coach the last two years at Lock Haven and a graduate of Slippery Rock, will find the majority of the Bald Eagles' defensive unit returning for the '69 campaign. All-conference selection Ron Beshore, a 5-9, 197-pound line­ backer from New Cumberland, will anchor the defensive charges while honorable mention winner Steve Jarrett, a 6-1, 213-pound center, will lead the offensive line. Adding fire power to the Eagle air game is junior quarter­ back Denny Rhule who totaled 894 yards last season both running and passing. Sophomore Scott McLean and Mike Packer will back up Rhule in the field general spot. Top backs include Jim Smith, a 6-0,198-pound senior and Dan Elby, a 6-0, 180-pound junior. The Bald Eagles finished one notch above the Scots in conference play at the close of last year's campaign, but scared some of the top finishers in the league. They were edged 27-26 by California, the Western Division Champion, and fought second place finisher. Clarion, to a 14-3 loss. The Eagles should fly higher this season, but have some tough opponents to meet on the schedule. Because of Lock Haven's small amount of male students, Pennsylvania Conference officials have given the College permission to use freshmen gridders in the varsity program. This has bolstered Coach Weller's offensive unit and should add momentum to the Maroon and Gray's scoring machine. Ron Beshore, Charles Brenner and Steve Jarrett have been selected as tri-captains for the 1969 season. 1968 Record (6-3) Clarion1 Opponent 21 Mansfield State 13 22 Delaware State 34 42 Geneva 7 14 Lock Haven State 3 37 Edinboro State 13 13 Indiana U. of Pa. 18 21 California State 26 35 Shippensburg State 0 23 Slippery Rock State 17 at Mansfield State Delaware State at Geneva Lock Haven State at Edinboro State at Indiana U. of Pa.

The tribe has lost some hard core veterans from both the offensive and defensive units which could spell a challenging season for Coach Dolbin's charges. John Hetter, a 6-2, 185 pounder, and 5-8, 165-pound Steve Pallo are the leading candidates for the quarterback slot. League pass receiving champ Al Bowman (6-1, 180, jr.) who grabbed Bumgarner passes for 738 yards and 6 touch­ downs in conference action will be one of the top targets for the Raiders' new signal caller. At the flanker spot is Fred Keyes, a 6-0, 175-pound junior while the backfield chores on the offensive eleven will be spearheaded by junior fullback Russ Alden (5-10, 185) and Bruce Baustein (5-11, 180, jr.). A pair of veteran senior guards Bill Lemanski, a 6-0, 205-pounder from Ellwood City, and Chuck Bolash, 6-1, 195 pounds from Harrisburg, should give added momentum to the Raiders' offense. Among the 26 lettermen returning to the reservation is All-Conference defensive halfback Chuck Hickes (6-1, 185, sr.) from Tyrone. Rounding out the defensive returnees is a crop of juniors in end Bill Connelly (5-11, 190), middle guard Dennis Gordon (5-11, 215), linebacker Dan Smith (6-1, 195), and halfback Bruce Baustein (5-11, 180). The addition of some promising freshmen give the Raiders some beefing up in the defensive alignment, but the big Iquestion confronting the tribe in '69 is, how well will the offense move? 1969 Schedule Sept.

The Tornadoes will again be a very young squad with a roster that shows very few upperclassmen. The starting quarterback slot will most likely go to sophomore southpaw Don Phillips who took charge of the Tornado offense midway through last season when Greg Haney received spinal injuries. Letter winners Joe O'Neill and Pete Quinn are marked as Phillips' top targets. Both are juniors. The ground attack will be led by Herb Braxton, a 6-1, 205-pound fullback from Beaver Falls and senior halfback Gail Church from Darlington. Also scheduled for action in the G-Men's offensive backfield are sophomore halfbacks Tom Wood of Kensington, Ohio, and Gary Toot of Lisbon, Ohio along with senior fullback Elmer Laslo and junior halfback Denny Stach. Returning at the tackles are Mike Hink, a 6-1, 235-pound senior, and Bruce Smeal, a 6-1, 205-pound junior while Steve Palyash, a 5-10, 190-pound junior, and Chuck McShane, a 5-10, 200-pound sophomore are at the guard slots. Even though the Genevans are young, they appear to have ball players who have seen a good deal of varsity action. The addition of some promising freshmen talent could give the Tornadoes some much needed depth and the edge needed to slip into the winning side of the column a few times this season. 1969 Schedule 1968 Results (5-3) Shippensburg Opponent 27 Mansfield State 14 0 Indiana U. of Pa. 24 21 Slippery Rock State 12 19 Lock Haven State 6 14 California State 30 23 Edinboro State 0 0 Clarion State 35 14 Millersville State 6 16— — Sept.

Its membership originally consisted of the 14 state colleges: Bloomsburg, California, Cheyney, Clarion, East Stroudsburg, Edinboro, Indiana, Kutztown, Lock Haven, Mansfield, Millersville, Shippensburg, Slippery Rock, and West Chester. In 1966 Indiana no longer was eligible for conference laurels as it acquired university status. The conference is divided into a Western Division and an Eastern Division. Members of the Eastern Division include Bloomsburg, Cheyney, East Stroudsburg, Mansfield, Kutztown, Millersville, Shippensburg, and West Chester, while Edinboro, California, Clarion, Lock Haven, and Slippery Rock comprise the Western Division. In basketball, the conference champions of both leagues face each other at the end of the season to determine the PC championship. California Leads 27-7-1 Athletic Director.................... Paul Ross Sports info. Dir.................... Bob Wood Phone............ 412 938-2281, ext. 214 All 13 state colleges that compete in the PC belong to the NAIA, while many are also NCAA and ECAC members. VULCANS' OUTLOOK Jeff Petrucci, the NAIA passing leader for the past two years, has graduated, but the Vulcans are once again loaded. The Fire Gods could have some trouble at the quarterback slot, yet have 24 lettermen and some experi­ enced veterans who will aid the Vulcans in their defense of the Western Division title. The Hepner-coached Californians walked away with a 28-28 tie against East Stroudsburg for the state championship last season and will be looking forward to solo ownership of the coveted crown at the close of the 1969 campaign. Returning are All-Conference guards Emil Letwin (6-3, 215) and Larry Randall (6-1, 240), second team All-Conference halfback Ron Urban and the league's top punter, Don Roberts (40.5). Add to this a few interior linemen like 6-3, 240-pound Bill Wilson; 6-2, 230-pound Jerry Valencik; and 6-2, 230-pound Bob Callaway. The Vulcan tackles will cer­ tainly give their opponents something to worry about. The downstaters' defense has remained almost intact with the returnees and the Vulcan running game could be much improved. Urban has had two years of expe­ rience and junior Greg Ray (6-2, 195) has proved to be a promising back. The offense also has senior flanker George Carlock to use as a pass target for probable starting quarterback Bob Keys, a 5-11, 165-pound junior. A repeat of last year's schedule will find the Californians looking to revenge a 1 -point loss (27-26) to Waynesburg and a 41-0 thumping by Indiana. Look for the Vulcans to be on top in the West standings. 1969 Schedule Sept. Sept. Oct. Oct. Oct. Nov.

McDonald directed Indiana University's of­ fense during the past three years as the Big Indians registered 24 regular season victories against only three defeats. This year's grid squad finished unbeaten in nine outings and proved to be the greatest offensive team in Indiana's history by tallying 360 points, an average of 40 points a game. The unblemished 9-0 mark landed Indiana University the opportunity to play in the Board­ walk Bowl in Atlantic City, New Jersey against the University of Delaware. The Wilmerding, Pa. native guided Hopewell High School to a 46-25-1 slate during his seven years as Hopewell's head football coach. His 1960 ball club defeated Braddock High 7-6 and broke their WPIAL 58-game winning streak while his 1963 team captured the Midwest Class A Championship. The Fighting Scots' new grid pilot has also served as an assistant coach at Braddock and Latrobe High Schools. He acted as aid to Chuck Klausing, Indiana's head football coach, through two undefeated seasons at Braddock High from 1956-1958. McDonald holds both a B.S. degree in education and an M.Ed. from the University of Cincinnati where he played fullback under Sid Gillman, now head coach of the San Diego Chargers and his assistant coach, Paul Dietzel. This team was the original "Chinese Bandits," a defensive unit which later became famous at Louisiana State University. He has also earned over 70 hours of graduate credits from Cincinnati, Penn State, Pitt and Indiana University of Pa. "Mr. McDonald's coaching career has constantly been a story of success. In addition to this aspect of his life, we were impressed with him as a man who is prepared and capable to give both wise counseling and leadership to young men in all phases of their development," stated Edinboro President, Dr. Chester, T. McNerney, in making the new appointment. McDonald will be met with the challenge of building a football machine for the Scots that can produce wins. The last time Edinboro posted a winning slate was during the 1965 campaign when the Clan garnered six victories, two losses and one tie. He has already injected some innovations that hope­ fully will push the Highlander football program down the right production line. The new coach along with his wife, Joanne, and their three children, have recently moved to Edinboro. —24- defensive SECONDARY COACH Sam Ruvolo, former head grid mentor at Cathedral Latin High School in Cleveland, Ohio, joined the Fighting Scots' grid staff in the spring of 1968. Ruvolo, who grooms the Scots' defensive secondary, guided his Cathedral Latin teams to two championships and one tie in the powerful Cleveland East Senate conference. During his nine years at Latin, Ruvolo amassed an overall record of 49-27-2. In the last four years his grid teams lost only six contests while winning 30. His best season was posted by his 1965 squad which registered a 9-1 slate. A graduate of John Adams High in Cleveland and Kent State University, Ruvolo has spent 19 years in the coaching ranks. Among various Cleveland schools included under his past tutelage are: Chanel, Brecksville, South High and West Tech. He also served as athletic director at Cathedral Latin for two years. During his coaching career at Cathedral Latin High School, Ruvolo coached such outstanding football players as Clinton Jones, former Michigan State University star now playing with the Minnesota Vikings; Larry Kaninski, former All-Big 10 Center from Purdue University now seeing action with the Denver Broncos; and Bob Taucher, former University of Nebraska standout now playing with the Dallas Cowboys. As head mentor at Chanel High School from 1958-1960, Ruvolo coached Ernie Kellerman, former All Mid­ American Conference quarterback at Miami University of Ohio and now a defensive back for the Cleveland Browns. Ruvolo, his wife, Lois, and their four children, Margaret Mary, Joseph, Thomas and John, make their home in Edinboro. DEFENSIVE LINE COACH Starting his second year on the Highlanders' coaching staff is Jim Gilstrap, former center at Western Michigan University and assistant coach at Case Tech for two years. He directs Edinboro's defensive linemen. Gilstrap is a 1964 graduate of Western Michi­ gan University where he was a 3-letter winner in football. He earned his M.S. at Southern Illinois University where he was a graduate assistant on the football staff. He is originally from South Bend, Indiana, where he attended Clay High School. Jim has been assigned to recruit in the Western Pennsylvania area and has been tagged by his coaching counterparts as one of the Clan's top talent scouts. He has landed several high school grid stars and has also signed some outstanding junior college grid prospects. He and his wife, Linda, along with their new daughter, Bethany, live in Edinboro. 25— OFFENSIVE BACKS COACH , k f / One of the new faces on the Scots' coaching staff is Jack Hyland, former head football coach at Meadville High School. He joined the Clan during spring practice and guides the offensive backs. A North Braddock native. Jack is a 1954 graduate of Slippery Rock State College where he was a top notch quarterback. He piloted the Rocket offense during four varsity campaigns and won 4 consecutive varsity letters. He also participated in basketball, track, and baseball at Slippery Rock. Following graduation. Jack held the head football post at Ferndale High in Johnstown Jl where he groomed Yellow Jacket teams for 10 Wm years. In 1964 he became the head mentor of Rochester High's Rams and remained there until he was selected to initiate a grid program at Meadville in 1968. Jack and his wife, Nancy, alongLINE with their five children, are currently OFFENSIVE COACH residing in Zvonar, the Meadville area. Tony a 1963 grad of Shippensburg State, will round out the ^ Fighting Scot staff as an offensive line coach. Zvonar served in the Hopewell High School football ranks for five years and last year was a member of the new grid staff at Aliquippa High. Tony also was an assistant track coach at his alma mater, Hopewell High. While capturing three varsity letters as an offensive tackle at Shippens­ burg, Zvonar received numerous grid awards. He was named as one of the Red Raiders' co-captains, selected to the all-conference team, the NAIA District 30 squad, and earned a berth on the all-state selections. Tony brings valuable experience and coaching knowledge to his duties as the offensive line mentor and will be striving to strengthen the Clan's weakest spot. ATHLETIC DIRECTOR Mr. Allan W. Hall was appointed a year ago as Edinboro's first full-time Director of Athletics. Hall, a graduate of Baldwin-Wallace College, served as Assistant Director of Athletics at Akron University for two years prior to coming to Edinboro. While at Akron, Hall was quite active in the University's athletic program. He piloted Akron's cross country teams for 12 years and guided his harriers to three Ohio Conferences and three AllOhio championships. His 1963 squad held the distinction of being runnerup to national cham­ pion Emporia State in the NCAA meet. Along with his cross country duties he also served as assistant track coach at A. U. for 12 years. Hall's keen interest in all phases of sports is reflected by his past accomplishments in the field of athletics.

Mr. Newman, his wife, Connie, and their children, Paul, Jr. and Michele, make their home in Edinboro. 28 1968 AT A GLANCE Few bright spots marked the Scots' dismal 1968 campaign which netted the Clan only two victories in nine gridiron battles. The injury plagued Scots rallied from a 13-0 deficit to trim visiting Ohio Northern 27-26 behind the passing of Barry Masterson to even their record at 1-1 early in the year. The Highlanders then found themselves on the short end of the score for five consecutive Saturday afternoons before they registered a 31-7 verdict over Geneva's Golden Tornadoes. The victory celebration was shortlived, however, as California's mighty Vulcans came to town and clinched the Western Division crown with a thundering 35-7 conquest to close the Clan's 1968 season. 1968 RESULTS Date ESC Sept. 14 15 Sept. 21 27 0 0 *Sept. 28 Opponent 0pp. Location Attendance East Stroudsburg 49 Away 4,000 Ohio Northern 26 Home 3,500 Slippery Rock 16 Away 2,500 Indiana (Homecoming) 58 Home 7,000 Oct. 5 ‘Oct. 12 13 Clarion 37 Away 7,000 A quick glance at the individual leaders in Edinboro State's final 1968 football statistics brought to light some bright spots after a dismal 2-7 season record. *Oct. 19 21 Lock Haven 56 Home 2,500 Shippensburg 23 Away 2,000 Nov. 2 31 7 Away 1,000 The Scots came out 710 yards ahead of their 1967 passing mark as the Highlander quarterbacks clicked on 120 of 315 passes for 1,303 yards via the airways. *Nov. 9 7 35 Home 1,200 *Oct. 26 0 Tom Rockwell, a 5-11, 200-pound sophomore kicker from Conneaut, Ohio, gained outstanding athletic distinction at his grid post.

In 1861 it was chartered by the Commonwealth as Pennsylvania's second Normal School and developed and grew through service to the Commonwealth. A great forward stride was taken in 1914, when the Commonwealth pur­ chased Edinboro Normal School. In 1926, alerted to the need for better edu­ cated teachers for its schools, Pennsylvania made Edinboro a Teachers College offering a four-year curriculum leading to degrees of Bachelor of Science in Secondary, Elementary, and Art Education, and Library Science. In 1960 the name of the college was changed to Edinboro State College. Beginning in September of 1957, the college was empowered to grant de­ grees of Master of Education in Elementary Education. In September 1961, graduate study in secondary education was added to the graduate program. In 1962 the liberal arts degree program was begun. Students may prepare for various vocations as an arts and science major in Humanities, Social Sciences or Natural Sciences and may receive a Bachelor of Arts degree. The control of the College is vested in the Board of Trustees, composed of nine members appointed by the Governor of Pennsylvania. The Board of Trustees in turn elects the President of the College who is responsible for its administration. The State Superintendent of Public Instruction is an ex-officio member of the Board of Trustees. The College is accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education, the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, and the American Medical Association. In addition, its curriculums are registered by the New York State Department of Education. Graduates of Edinboro have distinguished themselves in all professional fields: education, law, medicine, and religion as well as business and politics. The College stresses friendly relations among students and faculty and informal student counseling and guidance. The faculty is keenly aware of professional interests and self growth. High qualitative and quantitative standards distinguish the graduates of this college. The preparation of better educated citizens has been an Edinboro tradition for over a century.

His formal inauguration, honoring him as Edinboro's thirteenth president, followed on April 22, 1967. Dr. McNerney came to Edinboro from the University of Akron, where he was the Dean of the College of Education and was highly instrumental in the development of numerous educational in­ novations. He was cited as the motivating force behind the University of Akron Classrooms Around the World, and recognized for his scholarly studies of comparative education abroad. Dr. McNerney's primary areas of interest deal with the improvement of the curriculm, the pro­ gram for educational supervision and administra­ tion, and the improvement of inter-personal re­ lationships among the various members of working groups. His concern in this area has led to his writing of several books, lecturing and conducting various workshops. Under Dr. McNerney's guidance, the College has witnessed the growth of administrative operations, broader forms of student government, and the development of the future growth of Edinboro State College. He is a man dedicated to the academic life, a tireless advocate of personal involvement in the religious and civic affairs of one's community, and an educator who visibly believes in and practices total individual professional commitment. EDINBORO STATE COLLEGE'S ATHLETIC PROGRAM Intercollegiate athletics play an important role in the total educational pro­ gram of Edinboro State College. The program is so conducted as to assure wholesome use of leisure time, a healthy focal point for the experience and the expression of group spirit, and a laboratory experience for prospective coaches. Edinboro's athletic program includes intercollegiate competition in foot­ ball, basketball, wrestling, golf, track, tennis, baseball, soccer and cross country. The finest of facilities are readily being made available to accom­ modate these sports. Sox Harrison Stadium, one of the most recent additions to the athletic complex which entails the northeast corner of the campus, has a seating capacity of 4,500 and provides complete track facilities along with the football playing area. A baseball diamond of major league specifications has also been completed just west of the stadium. Scheduled for completion next year is the Scots' new fieldhouse. The structure will include an inter-collegiate basketball court, three intramural basketball courts, an AAU-sized swimming pool, wrestling and handball rooms, a steam room, a corrective gym, medical suite, and rifle range.
