(' V S' . .» SCOTS' SCOPE-1970 Under the tutorship of first-year coach Bill McDonald, Edinboro State's gridders posted their best season in the past eight years with a 4-4-1 slate. Over twenty individual and team records fell by the wayside as the Clan finished 1969 with third place in the Pennsylvania Conference. "Our chances of having a successful season this year hinge upon just how quickly our ball players can come of age," claims McDonald. "We really have a lot of catching up to do before we can compete consistently in our conference." Edinboro's 212-point output last year ranked as the second highest total in its forty-year football history. The continued success of the offensive unit could highly depend on the running of junior tailback Al Raines, (5-9,180), an All-American Honorable Mention winner. He broke all the school's rushing records while rampaging for 1,208 yards and fourteen touchdowns as a sophomore. A trio of quarterbacks will vie for the starting assignment in the backfield, but junior, Joe Sanford, (5-9,180) seems to have the inside track on the job. Back with ample experience are seniors Joe Kodba, (5-11, 185) and Barry Masterson, (5-11, 170). The only questionable position in the Scots backfield appears to be at the fullback slot where several candidates are fighting for the job. The squad appears much stronger in the receiver corps where stalwarts Jim Romaniszyn (6-1,195), John Gecina (6-2,195), Gary Roth (5-11,170), Tom Boylan (5-11, 180) and Mike Romeo (5-10,165 will operate. Both the offensive and defensive lines return experienced veterans, but lack size. Guard Paul Burkell, a regular throughout the '69 schedule, should lead the offensive line charge while Bob King (6-0, 205) and Bill Bender (6-2, 220) anchor the defensive unit. Supporting the defensive front wall are linebackers Gary Sisko (6-0, 200) Jeff Idzik (6-0, 204) and Steve Hamm (6-1, 210). Senior veterans Dennis Creehan (5-9, 190), a deep safety, and Ebby Hollins (6-2, 210) at middle guard, are back for final stands. The pair received post-season grid honors for their efforts throughout the 1969 campaign. Other familiar faces on the defensive eleven are halfbacks Joe Sass (5-10, 160) and Larry Pollick (5-10,170) who played an outstanding spring game. The Clan's lineup for the 1970 season will be studded with some veteran performers with 25 lettermen returning, but still lacks the depth and overall size to be a big winner. Returnees on the offensive unit who saw action last fall include tight end Jim Tabaczynski (6-0, 195), tackle Ken Zbinovec (6-1, 230), split end Gary Roth (5-11, 170), halfback Jack McCurry (5-10, 175), fullback Bob Mengerink (5-9, 187) and tackle Steve Mennen (6-1, 240). Ed Meeks (6-0, 175), who had an outstanding spring, will be available for running action.

On tap for the offense once again is kicker Tom Rockwell who gives the Clan a potential 3 points inside opponents' territory. Among the promising sophomores who are expected to make bids for varsity assignments are Dave Gates a 6-0, 170-pound defensive back; John Petchel, a 6-1, 185-pound flanker; Jim Romaniszyn, a 6-1, 195-pound flanker and Mike Mormino, a 6-0, 195-pound defensive end.

Hudiak Tri-Captains: Dennis Creehan, Paul Burkell, Joe Sanford INTRODUCING THE 1970 STAFF.. HEAD COACH In his first year at the helm of Edinboro State's football program, Bill McDonald's Fighting Scots came away with their best showing on the gridiron since 1 961 when they posted an identical 4-4-1 season slate. In his attempt to meet the challenge of building a football machine for Edinboro that can produce wins, over 20 individual and team records fell by the wayside last year as the Clan climbed to a third place finish in the Western Division of the Pennsylvania Conference. Bill McDonald previously served as assistant football coach at Indiana Uni­ versity of Pennsylvania for three years and head coach at Hopewell High School Bill McDonald from 1958-1965. McDonald directed Indiana University's offense as the Big Indians registered 24 regular season victories against only three defeats. In his final season at Indiana the grid squad finished unbeaten in nine outings and proved to be the greatest offensive team in the school'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 Boardwalk Bowl in Atlantic City, New Jersey against the Uni­ versity 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 High7-6and broke theirWPIAL 58-game winning streak while his 1963 team captured the Midwest Class A Championship. The Fighting Scots' new grid pilot has 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.

This team was the original "Chinese Bandits,” a defensive unit which later became famous at Louisiana State University. After graduation from Cincinnati in 1952, the Scots mentor continued his education in post graduate work at Penn State, Pitt and Indiana (Pa.) Universities. In announcing McDonald's appointment Edinboro President Chester T. McNerney commented, "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.” The new coach along with his wife, Joanne, and their three children, Amy Sue, Johanna and David now reside in Edinboro. -12- LINEBACKER COACH Jach Hyland, a former head football coach at Meadville High School, joined the Scots' a year ago as an offensive backfield coach and guided the Edinboro offense to a record breaking yardage total.

SCOTS COMPLETE WINNINGEST SPORTS YEAR A GLANCE AT CONFERENCE CHOICES Edinboro State's 1969-70 sports season proved to be the winningest year in the Fighting Scots' athletic history as athletes in nine varsity sports com­ bined their efforts to produce an overall slate of 63 wins, 49 losses and one tie. The season win-loss record established an all-time high percentage of 56.2 while 53 new marks were placed in the Scots' record books. Tennis paced the leaders with an 11 -1 season slate and registered a 91.7 percentage. The Scot netmen finished 11th nationally in the NAIA meet in Kansas City, Mo. after capturing the NAIA District 18 title and placed third in the Pennsylvania Conference meet. The Hank Mariotti-coached crew also won the ESC quadrangular Tournament and placed second in the ESC Invitational Tournament. Seven of the Scots' varsity sports completed their schedules with .500 or better season records. Coach Fred Caro's grapplers were 9-4 (69.2), Coach Doug Watts' cross country team, in its first year, finished 6-3 (66.7) while his tracksters were 3-2 (60.0) and Coach Jim McDonald's cagers racked up a 13-9 (59.1) ledger marking eight straight years in which the Clan has never experienced a losing season on the hardwoods. Baseball under the guidance of new head coach, Guy Conti, had its winningest season as the diamondmen posted an 11-8 (57.9) ledger. Bill McDonald's gridders broke even for the campaign as football had it best year since 1961 with a 4-4-1 (50.0) mark. Rounding out the slate were Jim McDonald's golfers who were 5-10 and George Shimpeno s first year soccer men with a 1 -8 record against some stern competition. Bowling, trapshooting and weight lifting which are not yet listed as varsity sports also came away with some outstanding finishes. The Fighting Scot trapshooting team won the Eastern Regional Shooting Championship against such teams as Yale and Harvard, and then placed fourth in the nation at Iowa City, Iowa. The weight lifters were nudged by Michigan State for the U. S. title in the Collegiate Weight and Power Lifting Championships while the bowling team captured the NAIA District 18 championship. The Scot athletic teams also had respectable finishes in Pennsylvania Conference action and over 25 athletes received special recognition by associations other than the College. uianon—wnen the smoke clears the Golden Eagles, behind a crop of topnotch vets, should repeat as West champs. All American honorable mention, Rick Terza will anchor the tight end slot as a favorite target of senior signalcaller Bob Erdeljac (17 TD's 190), tackle Tom Komenda (6-0, 215) and center Roland Sparrow (6-2, 220) lead the offensive charge while the defensive wall is spearheaded by tackles Joe Dudzinsky (5-11, 190) and John Doto 6-1,205).

California—Traditionally known for defensive stalwarts, California's mighty Vulcans return another strong eleven. The senior duo of Jerry Valencik (6-2, 230) and Bob Callaway (6-2, 240) are a pair of defensive tackles deluxe. They have fine secondary help from All-Conference safety, Terrance Hammons. The Fire Gods desperately need a quarterback and either Marty Podbesek or Gary DeHainet could land the job. A solid offense could easily move the Vulcans up. Lock Haven—The Bald Eagles went through a change last year under new coach Bob Weller and should be vastly improved. Returning in key positions are field general Mike Packer who completed 60 percent of his passes as a soph and one of the district's leading pass receivers, Sam Vaughn. Halfbacks Dave Witcoski and Steve Glass are tagged as top ground-gaining threats. Shippensburg—Senior Al Bowman, leading pass receiver in the conference for the last two years, will combine his talents with returning quarterbacks Jim Buffington and Ron Finley. The squad lost only five seniors and has some 33 lettermen back. Shifty Fred Keyes should roll up the yardage while tackles Roger Berkheimer (6-1, 220), Nick Bosso (5-10, 215) and linebacker Bruce Baustien plug up the defense. EASTERN DIVISION 1. West Chester 2.

The NAIA was organized in 1940 for the purpose of promoting interest in athletics among colleges of moderate enrollment. The NAIA encourages a broad program of athletic pursuits in its member schools and maintains that athletics must be an integral part of the overall educational process. A total of 17 national championships are sponsored by the NAIA NAIA. Edinboro, which belongs to District 18 competes in NAIA competition in all 9 of its varsity sports and sends repre­ sentatives to district as well as national championships. This year the NAIA will crown two national football champions. The 285 football-playing schools have been divided into two divisions. The Fighting Scot gridders will be competing in Division II along with 148 other member schools. Eastern College Athletic Conference This season will mark the first year of Edinboro State's membership in the ECAC. The ECAC differs from the majority of the other major college conference in which every team within the group meets all or most of the others in the various sports. However, the majority of its 198 members enter into com­ petition with one another either through dual contests, or in the championships and tourna­ ments of the various leagues and associations. It is the largest athletic conference in the nation. The E.C.A.C. supervises annual tournaments and championships competitions either on a Conference basis or for the affiliated organizations and holds outstanding events such as the E.C.A.C. Holiday Basketball Festival and E.C.A.C. Holiday Hockey Festival at Madison Square Garden, New York City and E.C.A.C. Quaker City Basketball Tournament at the Philadelphia Spectrum. Edinboro State, listed as a Division III competitor among the football playing colleges, is eligible for the Lambert Bowl as a member of this group. Pennsylvania Conference The Pennsylvania State Colleges Athletic Conference, organized in 1951, recently changed its name to the Pennsylvania Conference. 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. The conference champions of both leagues face each other at the end of the season to determine the PC championship. All 13 state colleges that compete in the PC belong to the E.C.A.C., while many are also NCAA and NAIA members. The Pennsylvania Conference championship football game will be played at the site of the Western Division winner this year. —20— eniiiecM Att» ^mcTmc Electrical Contractors BEST OF LUCK FROM #r llitcfjen” 9 Meadville Street Phone 734-1331 5709 WATTSBURG ROAD MEET & EAT ERIE, PA.

SPORTING GOODS, INC. 23 E. Washington Street New Castle, Pa. Phone 652-3961 — We Specialize in School Needs and Fraternity Jackets — In 1926 Edinboro State College started competing in intercollegiate football as a four year degree granting institution. Since that first kickoff, some 44 years ago no Edinboro team has ever won its first five football contests. As a matter of fact, no Edinboro team has ever won five straight games in any one season. Saturday that dry spell could end when the Fighting Scots meet Lock Haven State's Bald Eagles in a 2:30 Homecoming contest at Sox Harrison Staduim. The gridiron rumblings began last year whenBill McDonald was handed the reigns of Edinboro's football fortunes. His 1969 squad responded with a 4-4-1 season chart and smashed 23 school records while getting some curious glances in the Pennsylvania Conference. Under the guidance of a well rounded coaching staff the Men of McDonald have "put it all together" in their first four outings this year to gain prominence not only in the Conference, but on the national scene as well. The Fighting Scots moved into sole possession of first place in the Lambert Bowl balloting this week as the Clan garnered five of the eight first place votes. A total of 77 points pushed Edinboro into the lead as the outstanding small college football team in the East. In the lateat NAIA rankings, Edinboro was ranked third after their 10-6 win over Clarion State this past weekend. The prestigious victory placed the Clan in the top 3 teams of the nation's NAIA division II colleges. Posing a threat to the Scot's bid for their first Western Division title and a state championship game is the arm of Lock Haven's Mike Packer. The 6-3, 200-pound junior signal caller currently ranks second nationally in the passing department with 87 completions in 180 attempts for 1,138 yards. Last week against Shippensburg, Packer took to the airways 41 times and netted 158 yards on 17 strikes. On the receiving end of Packer's aerials are the capable hands of end Sam Vaughn who has hauled down 36 passes for 497 yards. Pile driving 200-pound fullback Alex Nuzzo rounds out the major offensive leaders in the Eagles' attack behind the blocking of veteran tackles Scott Brooks (6-2, 235) and Terrell Jones (6-0,215). Eagle defenders will have their hands full against an awesome Edinboro ground game that has been grinding out 319 yards a game. The yardage has been good enough to rank the Scots 8th in the NAIA rushing stats while the Clan's 1,276 total is fast approaching last season's record output of 1,810 yards. Leading the way across the turf have been last year's All-American Honorable Mention winner A1 Raines (Aliquippa) who has churned up 569 yards in 102 attempts to rank him 14th. Surprising Jack McCurry (Bakerstown) has chipped in 211 yards while quarterback Joe Sanford (Conneaut, 0.) has added 205 along with fullback Bob Mengerink's( Parma, 0.) 175. As a team the Edinboro rushers are averaging 5.4 yards every time they carry the pigskin. Adding strength to an already talented crop of runners is a vastly improved offensive line. "They (the line) have really been a big surprise to us," commented McDonald. "They have picked up things on their own in crucial situations and made some real fine adjustments to make the plays go." Not to be denied is a nationally rated defensive eleven which has allowed an average of only 57 yards a game on the ground. In 160 tries at the Edinboro front wall, opponents have managed to average only 1.4 yards an attempt. The secondary has proved equal to the test where Scot foes have completed 38 of 98 passes and have had 7 passes intercepted. Getting on the scoreboard has been just as tough as the Clan has allowed only 20 points in 4 outings for a sparkling 5 points a game average. Edinboro has a few "scores" to settle in the Homecoming contest against the Bald Eagles. Last year the Scots went into the locker room with a comfortable 27-6 lead only to lose the game 41 -33. A repeat of that ending would be disastrous in the Clan's quest for the Conference crown. Perhaps those most gratified by a win would be Edinboro alums who have sat through 9 straight years of Homecoming losses. WESTERN DIVISION PENNA.

The Wolfpack has been having its problems in the grid sport, but Coach Fred Reed's program should start to bear some fruit this fall. Adding some help is a conference ruling which permits Cheyney to use freshmen ballplayers because of the school's smaller enrollment in comparison to the other state colleges. The Wolves success this season will depend highly upon how much maturity has been gained by underclassmen. The squad will still be relatively young as Coach Reed rolls into his second year of developing Cheyney State football. An experienced defense should lower the scores as the complete secondary returns in tact. Marv Frazier, a 6-1, 185-pound all conference winner along with Horace Gray are the key returnees in defensive halfback slots. Marshall Murphy and outstanding defensive end will anchor the line while Alonzo Covert (6-3, 245) provides the Wolves with a linebacker deluxe. Offensively sophomores and newcomers from spring must produce early if Cheyney is to win. Bob Gimm should prove to be a top notch receiver behind the blocking of co-captains John Glass and Garnett Purnell. Bill Prillerman, Marv Frazier and Harold Scott should provide ground strength to a revamped backfield that runs from the power I formation. Any success offensively rests in the speed of a developing line, where the Wolves are the weakest. Look for the Pack to work defensively out of an Oklahoma 5-2. 1970 Schedule Sept. Oct. Oct. Oct.

Teachers College Millersville State Fayetteville State The Rockets of head coach Bob DiSpirito blasted their way to a 6-3 record last fall, the first winning grid season at the Rock since 1965. SRSC finished second in the rugged Western Division of the Pennsylvania Conference and highlighted the season with a thrilling 23-21 upset of nationally-ranked Indiana (Pa.) U. A total of 12 lettermen are lost from that '69 club, and at least 10 were key performers as the Big Green returned to the winning football tradition. Especially hard to replace will be quarterback John Ross, who amassed over 1400 yards in total offense, and Jay Wagner, who gained over 1700 yards rnshing in two seasons. Some 25 lettermen will return bolstered by a fine crop of sophomores who should put the Rockets in the conference race once again this year. On offense, there are question marks, however. The Rockets appear to have an abundance of talented runners, but the signal-calling position, which is so important in the SRSC plan of attack is undecided. Candidates for the slot include senior Wilfred Minor, senior Tom Bell along with sophomores Keith Reynolds and Tim Numes. Leading the ground gaining game are running backs Frank Barnes and John Ryce. Up in front, at least three sophomores will be counted upon to assume starting status to replace the graduated seniors. Defensively, the Rock should be much improved over the 1969 team which gave up three touchdowns or more in eight of the nine games. With last year's improved secondary, SRSC will concentrate more on stopping the opposition's running game which hurt the Big Green cause a year ago. 1969 Results (0-8) Cheyney Opponent 26 0 Howard 52 8 Winston Salem 14 Mansfield State 39 13 East Stroudsburg State 55 42 12 Kutztown State 7 Bloomsburg 28 25 0 Jersey City 14 Millersville 45 22— 1970 Schedule Sept.

They will face the toughest schedule in lUP history. "Finding a quarterback is definitely the key to our 1970 season," Neal said before spring practice. Chuck Pinchotti, 175, a transfer from Penn State, emerged from spring drills as the leading contender for that important spot. He hit 13 of 19 passes in the spring game while tossing two TD passes and running for another. Randy Urban, 170, a sophomore, will likely serve as Pinchotti's understudy. Aside from the quarterback slot, the offensive backfield will be in the hands of experienced performers. The leading ground gainer of 1969, Larry Monsilovich, 175, returns with his fancy 5.97 rushing average. Letterman John Butera, 185, will open at fullback with John Brochetti, 170, and John Ziegler, 180, as the wide receivers. Neil Brady, 205, looks good at tight end. From tackle to tackle along the line the starters should be Neil Gordon, 208; John Wilcox, 205; Jim Vogt, 190; Bob Cosgrove, 185; and Dave Connolly, 230. Defensively, the picture is less settled. Starters Bob Basehore, 180, and Chuck Hasse, 170, return in the secondary as do linebacker Dave Wever, 185, and middle guard Tom Rogish, 190. Among Indiana's top sophomore prospects are defensive tackle Gene Raymond, 235; linebacker Phil Imbrogno, 190; tight end Tim Drevna, 195; and full back John Grim, 200. 1970 Schedule Sept. Sept. Sept.

University of Akron GOLDEN EAGLES' OUTLOOK Al Jacks will start his eighth year as head grid coach at Clarion State College with 22 returning lettermen and a nearly intact backfield that should give him a team of fine balance and depth. In a season reduced to eight games this year, the Golden Eagle mentor will feel the loss of only 13 lettermen,the same number as in 1969. Brightest spot in the picture for the Jacksmen is their largely unchanged backfield with signal-caller Bob Erdeljac out to put the icing on a great college career as a senior and fleet-footed junior Fred Rost. Erdeljac ranked nationally last year with his 17 TD passes and 1,854 passing yards. Back to rack up their share of yardage and points for the Eagles are three top seniors; fullback Joe Abal, wingback Bob Oberdorf and center Roland Sparrow (6-2, 220). Speedy first string junior defensive back Ron Corcetti is expected to see service at split end this season. Junior tackle Jack Breman (6-2,210) will occupy one of the guard spots. Senior Tom Komenda, (6-0, 215) 1969 All-State tackle, and junior George Wyzkowski, who sat out last season with an injury should perform well in the tackle slots. Rick Terza, last year's All-State tight end and possibly the best of that breed ever to receive at Clarion, seems sure to turn in a commanding performance in his senior year. The defensive picture is also on the bright side with seasoned veterans at key positions. The defending western champions appear to have the talent to make them rule the roost once again and finish with another outstanding season on the gridiron. 1969 Results (8-1) Indiana 27 Northwood 21 Shippensburg 27 Edinboro 17 Brockport 38 Clarion 21 Slippery Rock 46 California 35 C.

Ross Neve I Phone............................. 717 748-6545 Bald Eagles RED RAIDERS' OUTLOOK BALD EAGLES' OUTLOOK After four straight losing seasons in football the outlook at Lock Haven State College is bright for a winner in 1970. Last year under first-year head coach Bob Weller the Bald Eagles posted a 3-4 record and missed a winning season by the margin of two points. Heading the list of 21 returning lettermen are eight offensive regulars including the entire backfield. However, the defensive unit lost heavily with only four returning and the biggest problem for Coach Weller and his staff will be to rebuild the defense. If this can be done to any degree of success, then the Bald Eagles could be the darkhorse in the race for the Western Division championship. Leading the offense will be Mike Packer, a 6-3, 200-pound junior quarterback who last year threw 137 passes and completed 77 for a brilliant 57.2 percent and 1,021 yards. His favorite target, split end Sam Vaughn, also returns. Vaughn caught 34 passes for 617 yards for an 18.1 average, and led the team in scoring with 54 points. Rounding out the backfield will be speedster Wayne Hoffman at flanker and a pile-driving 200-pound fullback. Alex Nuzzo. Other returning offensive regulars are tackle Scott Brooks (6-2, 235), tackle Terrell Jones, (6-0, 215) and guard Jim Hess. Some key performers return in the backfield to shape up the Bald Eagles' defense while some new faces in freshmen who are eligible to play varsity ball for the downstaters will add depth for the 1970 campaign. 1970 Schedule Sept.

Oct. 12 18 26 3 10 17 24 31 Delaware State at Bloomsburg at California Clarion Shippensburg at Edinboro at Delaware Valley Slippery Rock The 1970 edition of Shippensburg football is built around 29 returning lettermen — including All-Conference end Al Bowman, whose sticky fingers added a lot of life to the Raiders' 1969 season. Bowman has been the leading receiver in the conference for the past two years and should repeat as the top pass snatcher in the PC. Although the men of Coach Dave Dolbin won only one of eight outings last year, the Raiders lost three games by less than one touchdown and two others by ten points. Offensively, the Raiders did well last year breaking into the double figures in six of their eight contests. Prospects are good again this year for a lot of wide-open ball. Dolbin will have three top candidates to choose from to handle the quarterbacking chores — Jim Buffington, Ron Finley and transfer student Jim Monos. Defense was the major weakness last year and the Raiders may find that a problem confronting them once again. There is little experience available to fill in the linebacking spots. Coach Dolbin says of his 1970 Raiders: "We have improved our defense — spring practice helped us a lot on that. We'll have our passing game back and added strength in the offensive backfield." Expected to take care of the rushing chores is shifty back, Fred Keyes. Defensively the Raiders can look for experienced help in linebacker Bruce Baustien (5-11, 185) tackle Roger Berkheimer (6-1, 220) and tackle Nick Bosso (5-11,225). The Raiders should finish much improved this campaign. 1969 Results (3-4) Lock Haven 28 Bloomsburg 0 California 7 Clarion 28 Shippensburg 41 Edinboro 20 Slippery Rock 13 Waynesburg —26— Opponent 25 25 21 23 33 24 14 1970 Schedule Sept.

The Blue Devils are deep in returning lettermen, but a major problem is finding replacements for such excellent graduated personnel as defensive end Gerry Agostinucci, middle guard "Butch" Brown, center Charlie Tiblom and hard-running back Harry Fargo. Co-captains Ken Blasser, a tremendous linebacker, and Pete Courcey, a powerful fullback lead veterans who include such offensive linemen as end Alan Miller, tackle Mike Spolowitz, guard Nick Economopoulos, quarterback Dale Finch, defensive tackle John Skladany and defensive back Ken McPhee. Courcey romped for 541 yards last year in 85 carries to average 6.4 yards a carry. He also finished second in the scoring race with 24 points. Quarterback Dale Finch who connected for 306 yards last season and averaged 4.2 yards every time he carried the pigskin returns as an experienced field general. Loika feels Ken Blasser is a post-season All-Star bowl prospect. The outlook for a sixth straight winning season is promising and could brighten considerably if sophs quickly fill the gaping holes. A crop of 22 lettermen should provide the nucleus that the defensive-minded Loika needs for another winner. In what proved to be a disappointing season for the Blue Devils last year (5-4) the defensive unit still managed to surrender only 12 points a game. Two years ago Loika's defensive eleven allowed but 4.4 points a contest for the best NCAA College Division figure in the nation. 1970 Schedule Sept. Oct. Oct. Oct. Oct. Oct. Nov. Nov. Nov. 19 3 10 17 24 31 7 14 21 VULCANS' OUTLOOK The Fire Gods will sport a "new" look for the 1970 season as the Vulcans, got a new head coach, a new stadium and a new foe for the 1970 schedule John Katusa has taken over the reigns of the Vulcans’ football machine and will make his head caoching debut in California's brand new Adamson Field which seats 5,000 spectators.The only "new" thing for 1970 that coach Katusa can t really get overly excited about is a new opponent in Wittenburg University. The Tigers rolled to a 10-0 slate last season and have been tagged as the winningest team in the nation over the past decade (78-9-1). California has 21 lettermen returning from last season's squad which endured a disappointing 1 -6-1 record. In spite of their poor conference showing the '69 California's still ranked second among the 13 PC colleges in team defense. Traditionally known for defensive stalwarts the Vulcans return another strong eleven. The senior duo of Jerry Valencik (6-2, 230) and Bob Callaway (6-2, 240) are a pair of defensive tackles deluxe who should give running backs nightmares. They have fine secondary help from All-Conference safety, Terrance Hammons. The Fire Gods desperately need a quarterback and either Marty Podbesek or Gary DeHainet could land the job. Should the Fire Gods be able to generate some offense their 1970 showing should be vastly improved. 1969 Results (5-4) Central Connecticut Opponent 0 16 Kutztown at Kutztown 17 7 Cortland State Bridgeport 23 7 Bridgeport Montclair State 23 0 Montclair State at Trenton State 0 44 Trenton State Glassboro State 21 20 Glassboro State Edinboro State 29 AlC 13 AlC 27 Ithaca 7 at Cortland State 7 13 Southern Connecticut at Southern Connecticut —28— 1970 Schedule Sept.

B. "Sox" Harrison who served as head football and basketball coach at the College for 35 years. His 1931-32 cage record of 11 wins and 1 loss still stands as one of the best marks ever posted by an Edinboro basketball team. Sox Harrison Stadium is located in the athletic complex in the northeast part of the Edinboro campus off route 6N and Perry Lane. Complete facilities are located beneath the grandstand area, which seats 3,000 people. Locker space for both the home and visiting teams, the coaching staff offices and locker room, the officials' dressing room, the training room, showers, the weight room and a laundry room are utilized within this space. Also included are restrooms, janitors' facilities, equipment rooms and a large concession stand. A glass enclosed press box is provided for local and out-of-town reporters. The press area is equipped with microphone control system, a telephone and radio broadcasting areas. Above the press box is a location for film coverage of the game. In addition to the football field, the stadium also contains complete track facilities. A quarter-mile oval, a 220 straight-away and asphalt ap­ proaches for the field events highlight the home of the cinder sport. Bleacher seats on the visitor side of the stadium bring the total seating capacity to 5,000.

Under the guidance of new head coach. Bill McDonald, and his staff, the revitalized Edinboro football program fought its way to a respectable 4-4-1 season slate. The Clan's record marks Edinboro's winningest season since the 4-3-1 slate of 1961. It also is the best finish the Scots have had in the Western Conference since 1932. The season point total of 194 is second only to 212 points recorded back in 1928.

Conference Games. Tailback Al Raines chalked up nine individual records in the offensive backfield during the '69 campaign. He broke the game rushing average for one season with an average of 134.2 yards for nine contests. Hisscoring records smashed all previous as he recorded 14 TD's for 84 points. Raines opened his career for Edinboro against Brockport and tied the existing record for most touchdowns in one game (three) which has stood unchallenged since 1958. Tom Rockwell, better known as "Toe" to his teammates, etched his name in the history book through his kicking efforts. Rockwell booted five field goals in the season to top the old mark of two. The Conneaut High graduate kicked off 43 times for the Scots for 2,150 yards, an average of 50 yards every time he greeted the ball. He also finished second in the scoring department with 32 points. Defensively Dan DiTullio's four interceptions against Shippensburg also set a new mark. DiTullio totaled the most individual tackles in a half with a performance of nine against Geneva. The record for the most individual tackles in one game was claimed by Gary Sisko with 13 hits against California. Sisko finished the season as the Scots' leading tackier with 93 stops. He was followed by Ebby Hollins (Aliquippa) with 92 and Dan DiTullio's 91. Quarterback Joe Kodba (South Bend, Ind.) completed 42% of his aerials (33 of 80) with five touchdowns via the airways. Gary Roth (New Castle) and Paul Johnston (Warren, Pa.) tied for the most receptions with 13 apiece. Roth averaged 15.6 yards per reception with a long TD play of 52 yards. Johnston while playing in four games prior to an injury that put him out for the re­ maining five clashes, averaged 14.4 yards with three TDs and a long snag of 42 yards. Joe Sass (Aliquippa) and Dan DiTullio tied for the top spot in intercept­ ions with four thefts apiece while Steve Hamm (Williamsport) who missed the last three games led in fumble recoveries with five.

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.
