Unfortunately Edna might be a little late for the 1972 kickoff as she is anxiously awaiting the arrival of a baby "Boro" booster after a twelve-month (whew!) pregnancy. 22 Ashland................................. 23 Slippery Rock.................................. 24 Indiana..................................... 25 Clarion......................................... 26 Lock Haven............................... 27 Shippensburg............ ................ 28 Cortland.................................................. 29 California............................. 30 PAST.

Yes, since you looked us over last year, there have been some alterations in the HOME OF THE FIGHTING SCOTS. NCAA — Most noteworthy is Edinboro State's recent NCAA (National Col legiate Athletic Association) admittance. The Scots became an active member on September 1, 1972 and are eligible to compete in NCAA national cham pionship events immediately. Edinboro football fans will be happy to learn that, should the Scot gridders prove to be successful in future years, they would be eligible for such post-season events as the Boardwalk Bowl, the Knute Rockne Bowl or the Grantland Rice Bowl. COACHES — You might also notice some new faces along the sidelines this fall with the addition of coaches Fred Remmy and Andy Robertson. Remmy, who will be handling the defensive secondary, comes to the Scots from Miami University in Florida where he served as the Hurricanes' head recruiter. Robertson, a graduate of Southern Colorado State, will help guide the junior varsity program and scout Fighting Scot opponents throughout the season. NAIA, ECAC — Along with the NCAA membership, there have been some other changes in the Scots status in both the NAIA and the ECAC. Edinboro State has been moved into Division I of NAIA competition and now must compete for honors against such national powerhouses as Grambling, Eastern New Mexico, Florida A & M, Texas A & I, Kentucky State and Arkansas Tech to mention just a few. In its two years as a NAIA Division II membership, Edinboro was ranked third nationally in 1970 and fifth in 1971. The Clansmen have likewise moved up a notch in the ECAC where they are now listed as a Division II team instead of Division III. In its two years as a Division III member, Edinboro captured the Lambert Bowl in 1970 and was runner-up in 1971. The Scots must now compete for the Lambert Cup which is awarded for outstanding performance by an eastern middle-sized college football team. All of the Pennsylvania Conference schools are listed in this division as well as such notables as Central Connecticut, Hobart, Montclair, Maryland State, Tufts and Springfield. STADIUM — Physical changes in the stadium area itself include the addition of new pro-type single bar goal posts and a new scoreboard at the south end of the field. Fighting Scot helmets sport a new look with a decal patterned after a Scottish thistle that forms an "E". T Si rri& rh 1 MAC" YEARS wkt- 1969... 4-4H 1970... 9-1 1971... 9-1 Prior to his assignment at Edinboro, McDonald served as assistant football coach at Indiana Univ. of Pa. for three years and head coach at Hopewell High School from 1958-1965. While he directed Indiana Uni versity's offense, the Big Indians registered 24 regular season vic tories against only three defeats. In his final season at Indiana, the Tribe finished unbeaten in nine outings and proved to be the greatest offensive unit in the school's history with a 40 points-per-game average. The Wilmerding, Pa., native guided Hopewell High School to a 46-25-1 slate during his seven-year tenure as head 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. Head Coach - Bill McDonald The Fighting Scots' grid pilot served as an assistant coach at Braddock High School through two undefeated seasons and also at Latrobe High. McDonald holds both a B.S. degree in education and an M.Ed. from the Univ. 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. After graduation from Cincinnati in 1952, the Scots' mentor continued his education in post graduate work at Penn State, Pitt and Indiana (Pa.) Universities. LEADING THE LINEBACKERS Bill McDonald's magic touch has completely turned around Edinboro State's football fortunes since his appointment to the head post in 1969. Under his direction the Fighting Scots have not lost a regular season game in their last 20 outings. In just his third year at the helm, his 22-6-1 record puts him at the top of the winning percentage list with a 78.6 reading. After an initial 4-4-1 season in 1969, his Fighting Scots became the greatest in ESC history when they went 8-0 in regular season play, captured the Lambert Bowl, won the Pennsylvania Conference championship and earned a berth in the NAIA national playoffs. His 1970 team followed up with an undefeated regular season (9-0) and a second straight PC Western Division title. Over 50 individual and team records have been established during his first three years at the reigns. Upon completion of 1971's successful venture, numerous post-season laurels were bestowed upon the Scot's mentor. The Football Writers Assoc iation of New York named McDonald Coach of the Year in the East while the NAIA Area VIII and District 18 coaches as well as the Pennsylvania Collegiate Press Association also rewarded him with Coach of the Year honors. 4- Jack Hyland Entering his fourth year on the Fighting Scot staff. Jack Hyland has made his mark at ESC as both an outstanding recruiter and coach. The personable North Braddock product has demon strated his versatility by instructing both offensive and defensive prospects. Jack starred as a quarterback during his collegiate career at Slippery Rock State College where he earned four consecutive varsity letters as a Rocket gridder while also participating in basketball, track and baseball. Following graduation in 1954, he spent 10 seasons as head coach at Johnstown's Ferndale High. In 1964 he accepted the top post at Rochester High where he coached the Rams until he was selected to guide the football program at Meadville High School in 1968. Jack and his wife, Nancy, along with their five children, are currently residing in the Meadville area. —5— DEVELOPING THE DEFENSE Tony Zvonar SECURING THE SECONDARY Fred Remmy, former head football recruiter and freshman coach at the University of Miami, moved north from the Sunshine state this past summer to groom the Scots secondary. The Verona, Pa., native graduated from Miami in 1959 where his grid play landed him a berth in the annual North-South All-Star Game. Fred began his coaching career in 1960 as an assistant at his hometown high school of Verona and he then spent a two-year stint as head coach and athletic director at the United States Coast Guard Receiving Center. Prior to returning to Miami in 1970, Remmy was named head football coach at the Florida high schools of Dunedin (1965-67) and Lakeland (1968-70). Dunedin posted its first winning season in history while Lakeland finished with its first successful schedule in six years. Fred, his wife, Pat, and their two children, Rick and Stacy, recently moved to Edinboro. TUTORING THE BIG Jim Bowen FIRING OUT THE FOE Molding the Scots' highly respected front four has been the job of Tony Zvonar for the past three seasons. His efforts have rewarded Edinboro State with one of the finest drilled defensive lines in the conference. Tony, who is a 1963 Shippensburg State grad, spent a five-year span in the grid ranks at Hopewell High School, his alma mater, and also was a member of the Aliquippa High staff in 1968 before joining the Scots. 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 allstate selections. The Scots' defensive line specialist and his wife, Anne, reside in Edinboro. With a pair of record breaking offensive years in the ledger, Jim Bowen's two tries at directing the Scots' scoring attack have been nothing but successful. Bowen coached the once-beaten 1968 ESC freshman team and was the varsity's offensive backfield coach in 1967. Jim was head football coach at Fairview High School for 10 years and compiled an outstanding record of 76 wins and 12 losses. His grid teams captured 4 league championships while riding 25 and 19 game winning streaks. The knowledgeable Scot coach graduated from Slippery Rock State College in 1957 and earned his master's degree from Buffalo University. Jim and his wife, Joyce, along with their 7 children, two of which are twin girls, reside in Girard. 6— — Joe Shesman Edinboro backs have enjoyed the expertise of Coach Joe Shesman for the past three years as Scot offensive lines have really come of age under his leadership. A highly successful football and baseball mentor at Fort LeBoeuf High School, Joe served as an assistant Bison coach for 11 seasons and then, a ter his appointment as head coach in 1966 guided LeBoeuf to three straight winning campaigns. The 1955 Edinboro grad earned four varsity letters in both football and track while performing for his alma mater. As LeBoeuf's dia mond coach, Joe led the Bisons to winning slates for nine consecutive seasons, never finishing lower than third in the Erie County league and capturing four league championships. The Scot coach and his wife, Izzy, have three children. Matt, Kim and Karen. GROOMING THE GRASS ROOTS Guy Conti, a Freeport, Pa., native was added to the Fighting Scots gridiron staff a year ago to take the reigns of the junior varsity program. The Clarion grad served as head football coach at Northwestern High in 1971 and baseball mentor at Edinboro State during the springs of 1970 and 1971 where his diamond teams posted record breaking seasons. Conti spent a professional baseball stint with the Houston Astros organiza tion as a catcher. The versatile athlete was an out standing football playerat Freeport High and Clarion State where he led the offensive attacks from his quarterback slot. He has also served as a teacher, vice-principal, head baseball mentor and assistant basketball coach at Northwestern High School. Conti, his wife, Janet, and their children, Kim, Curt, Craig and Kelly, reside in Albion. Guy Conti AUGMENTING THE PROGRAM ^ |jH|^ Andy Robertson Southern Colorado State's Andy Robertson was recently named to the Edinboro staff as a junior varsity mentor. Andy was an All-WPIAL quarterback at Hopewell High School while playing under Bill McDonald. After graduation in 1964 he traveled to Southern Colorado State where he played halfback for three years. The Indians enjoyed three straight winning seasons, and earned the opportunity to play in the NAIA national playoffs in 1965. After receiving a B.A. degree in 1968, he served as an assistant grid coach at Florence (Colo.) before returning to the Keystone State in 1969 as a grid aide at Derry Area High. An assistantship at the University of North Carolina during 1970 was interrupted by a 1 "call to duty" with the U. S. Armed Forces in Germany. —7— BEHIND THE SCENES . . . ATHLETIC DIRECTOR: Since Al Hall's appointment as Athletic Director in 1968, Edinboro State has enjoyed one of the most respected and most suc cessful collegiate athletic programs in the East. Through his efforts ESC has expanded to twelve varsity sports and attained new memberships in the ECAC and NCAA while building a coaching staff that has compiled the I i College's best record in history. Al's * ■ selection to numerous sports com mittees in the Erie area along with posts in both the ECAC and Pennsyl vania Conference bear out his dedica tion to the world of athletics. A graduate of Baldwin Wallace College, Al Hall he served as Assistant Director of Ath letics at Akron University for two years and piloted Akron's cross country teams to championship finishes for 12 seasons. Al's wife, Pam, daughter, Beth, and their son. Dale, reside in Edinboro. / r SPORTS INFORMATION DIRECTOR; Paul New man began his duties five years ago as ESC's first Sports Information Director and now also serves as Assistant to the President. Paul is a 1964 graduate of Edinboro where he earned both his B.S. degree and M.Ed. while majoring in English. Prior to joining the Scots, he held a teaching position in Ashtabula, Ohio, for three years. In connection with his duties, he is also the District 18 Publicity Chairman for the National Association of Inter collegiate Athletics and recently completed a twoyear term as President of the NAIA's Sports In formation Director's Association. Paul, his wife, Connie, and their children, Paul, Jr. and Michele, make their home in Edinboro. Bob Klingler Paul Newman TEAM TRAINER: Bob Klingler begins his sixth year of giving Fighting Scot athletes the tops in professional medical care. The 1952 Lock Haven grad ventured to Hermann School of Physical Therapy in Houston, Texas and became a reg istered physical therapist in 1954. He later re ceived his M.S. from Bucknell. Prior to accepting his ESC post, Klingler taught at Milton Hershey, a private boys' school in Hershey, Pa., where he served as the Spartans' head football mentor, head track coach and assistant basketball coach. Both his cinder and cage teams never experienced a losing season, while his grid teams continually posted successful campaigns in the powerful Capitol Area Conference. Bob, his wife, Jill, and daughter, Julie, make their home in Edinboro. —8— Should the Western Division champs turn to the airways, however, a trio of veteran receivers in split end Mike Romeo, flanker John Gecina and tight end John Petchel are on hand as prime targets. Newcomer Joe Lauer (5-10, 173) along with freshmen Dale King (5-8, 185) and speedster Mark Crump (5-9,160) might help the backfield situation somewhat, but inexperience will still haunt the Scots. Any one of several other candidates could land a running back spot with Romaniszyn, but this posi ion is really up for grabs. Although the Clan's star studded backfield is gone, one of Edinboro's strong points will be the offensive line. Scheduled for action up front are John Chakot (T, 6-1, 220), Bob Miseyka (G, 6-0, 200), Mike Gordon (C, 6-0, 215), Dean Pikoulas (G, 6-0, 200) and John Kuster (T, 6-1, 225). The Scots need help desperately on the defensive unit which was decimated by diploma fever. Standout linebacker Rich lorfido (5-11, 205), tackle Bill Bender (6-2, 220) and halfback Dave Gates are the only returning regulars. lorfido, a starter ever since his sophomore year, has been tagged as one of the top defensive players in the conference. Last year he shared the lead on the individual tackling chart with 120 stops to his credit after smashing the Edinboro mark during his soph debut with 141 hits. Veterans on hand to rebuild the defensive unit are Rick DiOrio (LB, 6-0, 220), George Gast (DE, 5-11, 200), Tom Herr (DT, 6-3, 220), Tom Bliss (LB, 5-10, 210), Jay Minotas (LB, 5-10, 190) and Mark Worley (LB, 5- 11, 200). John Walker, along with speedy Jim Mastroianni, will most likely team up with Dave Gates to bolster the secondary. SHOES NOT SO "OFFENSIVE"—Scot Mentor Bill McDonald ponders replacements to fill the shoes of missing Ouarterback Joe Sanford, Tailback Al Raines and Fullback Bob Mengerink. 'll 1972 SCOTS ^^KILT” BY GRADUATION Edinboro State's 1972 grid fortunes are pretty much a giant-sized question mark. After piling up back-to-back undefeated regular seasons, the Scots are faced with replacing a backfield that averaged 424 yards per game and rebuilding a defense that returns only three starters. Edinboro returns only 19 of last year's 37 letter winners to open its 1972 campaign with independent clashes against Waynesburg and powerful Ash land College at home prior to opening conference action at Slippery Rock State. With the loss of All-American tailback Al Raines, quarterback Joe Sanford and fullback Bob Mengerink, Coach Bill McDonald lost an offensive attack that ranked third nationally in the NAIA and shattered almost every Edinboro rushing record in the book. Flankerback Jim Romaniszyn (6-2, 225, Sr.), one of five Edinboro AllAmerica honorable mention winners last year, returns as the Clan's top offensive player and hopefully will fill one of the holes in the Scots' ground attack as a running back. The versatile stalwart should find the conversion a familiar one after switching to a tailback slot during his sophomore year to lead Edinboro to its first Pennsylvania Conference crown. While pacing the Clansmen to a 14-6 win over West Chester, Romaniszyn scored both Scot TD's and set an ESC record with his 36 carries in one game, Scott McKissock (6-3, 190, Sr.) will most likely get the nod at the quarterback slot where the Scots will stick with their triple option offense. Newcomers John Bayer (LB, 6-0, 205), Denny Lotti (DT, 6-2, 235) and Tom Nave (DT, 6-3, 226) have also been spotlighted by the coaching staff to hopefully plug some of the gaps. "We have a heckuva lot of question marks," reflects Edinboro Coach Bill McDonald about his 1972 squad, "and so far we haven't found too many answers. Besides replacing people on both our offensive and defensive units we are faced with competing in a conference that continually improves. No one can really tell who might win our division this year." One "unknown" factor that could figure heavily in the Scots' season is the addition of a talented crop of freshmen prospects. SCOUTING THE SCOTS . . . 1971 Honors: Penna. Conf. Western Div.

Phone 734-1505 Rte. 99 South -A16- Edinboro, Pa. —A17~ TODAY’S GAME A vastly improved Waynesburg eleven will give the Scots all they can handle in this year's season lidlifter. A giant-sized veteran defensive unit that held Edinboro's great backfield in check for three quarters returns to stalk the Clan once again. The invading Yellow Jackets have size that won't quit with tackles Tom Dutton (6-0, 239) and Don Fry (5-11,215) along with linebackers Tom McCain (6-1,220) and Jim Dumm (6-3, 260). Waynesburg dropped a close 28-19 contest last week to traditionally powerful Fairmont State. Look for today's game to be a surprising tester for the Red and White. Edinboro State will be striving to battle through its 21st straight regular season game without a loss. The only blemish on that streak is a tie with California at the close of the 1969 season. The Fighting Scots have won 17 consecutive regular season contests and will be looking to extend the skein to 18 against the invading Yellow Jackets. Last year we won. Thisyearwe did a little better. DATSUN FROM NISSAN WITH PRIDE The American Road Race of Champions is the big annual bash where the best amateur racers in the country get to gether to find out who’s who. In that kind of competition, winning the championship is a real achievement. So last year at Road Atlanta when our Datsun 240-Z fin ished 1-2-3 in the C-production championship, we figured we’d done very well. This year we did a little bet ter. Our 240-2 won C-production again, followed closely by three more Z-cars in 2nd, 3rd and 4th place. Meanwhile, Datsun took the D-production class title and a Datsun 510 walked off with the B-sedan championship. At this rate next year ought to be a lulu!

TUNE IN TO WMDI RADIO (102.3 FM) EVERY SATURDAY AFTER NOON TO HEAR PLAY BY PLAY OF THE SCOTS HOME AND AWAY. NO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES IN STADIUM -A20— TODAY’S OFFICIALS Naz Servidio John Joyce John O'Rourke Walter Malinchak James Trovato John McGee (clock) —A2I— HOT OFF THE GRIDIRON Fighting Scot Grade Card, 1972 OFFENSE QUARTERBACK- Scott McKissock has the nod here and has been doing some homework. He brings plenty of experience but seems torn between the triple option and the straight drop back pass. Mickey Dustal arrived in "school" late and is still being somewhat held back because of his tardiness. Freshman Ken Widel has the mental know how, yet can t be expected to handle the heavy course load with his newly acquired study habits. PRE-SEASON RATING —B. PRO KNITWEAR RUNNING BACKS —All-America candidate Jim Romaniszyn has added almost 30 pounds to an already bull-like frame to give the Scots a top notch power runner. Add to this, the speed of freshman Mark Crump for an inside-outside combination. Depth appears to be the only major problem here where the Clan could come up with another fine running attack. PRE-SEASON RATING —A. RECEIVERS Experience, speed and fine hands characterize this unit where veteran performers return to do their thing. Split end Mike Romeo is probably one of the fastest in the league while tight end John Petchel combines pass catching ability with superior blocking. Flanker John Gecina is always on hand as an offensive threat. PRE-SEASON RATING—A. OFFENSIVE LINE — Honor students of the game abound here where the Scots should be the toughest. Some interior switching has been done as JohnJDhakot has moved from tackle to guard while Bob Miseyka has jumped to the vacated tackle slot. Toss in veterans Dean Pikoulas, Larry Underwood, Mike Gordon and RAT^NG^^^^A^^° breakers on almost any test. PRE-SEASON TOTAL EVALUATION OF OFFENSE — Potentially this can be another outstanding point-producing unit. The biggest question mark appears to be consistency. One or two brilliant showings per series will, of course, not be enough. This group must put it all together to control the football and sustain scoring drives. PRE-SEASON RATING—A-. DEFENSE DEFENSIVE LINE —Head-on hitting is stabilized by interior tackles Bill Bender and Tom Herr while George Gast anchors one of the terminals. Three of the front four positions are filled with highly respectable personnel, but the other end slot is really up in the air. Veteran Rick DiOrio and newcomer Denny Lotti are rugged performers who vyill continually be in the thick of the action. Frank Berzansky will switch from his kicking shoe to battle for the open defensive end spot along with Tom Nave. PRE-SEASON RATING —B+. LINEBACKERS All-Conference and All-America honorable mention winner Rick lorfido is the only battle-tested gridder in the foursome. Inexperience and lack of overall size could hurt here, but they are fairly well offset but quickness and good old hardnosing. Mark Worley and Jay Monotas have been waiting in the wings for a couple of years and seem ready to show their wares. Hard hitting John Bayer is another new face in a group that could make or break the whole year PRE-SEASON RATING —B. SECONDARY A rebuilt secondary that can only really be graded after some strenuous testing. Fine athletes with plenty of foot speed are on hand, but unity is still a question mark after being together for such a short time. Dave Gates and Jim Mastroianni have logged the most time under fire as challengers John Walker, Mike Fetzer and Rick James try to perfect the system. PRE-SEASON RATING —b! TOTAL EVALUATION OF DEFENSE — With only three starters returning, the defensive unit will be moulded as the season progresses. Although this group does not have size, it does possess a Bill McDonald prerequisite called — speed. Look for quickness to help offset size and experience.

Fifth-year coach Darrell Lewis does have a bright side to look at when he considers the size of his defensive squad. The same unit that held the Scots in check for three quarters are on hand again in the likes of front four Chuck Milcic (6-3, 259), Tom Dutton (5-11, 241), Jim Dumm (6-3,265) and Frank Muehiheuser (6-0, 200). Tom McCain (6-2,211) leads a contingent of experienced linebackers. Lewis must find a field goal kicker and punter to replace Bill Vrtar who held down the post for three seasons and booted a 47-yard field goal last year, the longest in Waynesburg's College history. 1972 SCHEDULE Sept. Sept. Sept. Oct. Oct. Oct. Oct. Nov. Nov. 9 16 30 7 14 21 28 4 11 1972 OUTLOOK: Fighting Scot fans will get a chance to see one of the best College Division teams in the nation when Ashland's powerful Purple Eagles invade Sox Harrison Stadium. Only two starters were lost off the Eagles' offensive unit which averaged 304.5 yards in total offense per game last season. Ron Slater, last year's offensive leader who passed for 1,001 yards in 1971, will again be looking for his favorite receiver Bob Rosati (26 receptions, 373 yards) while counting on offensive standouts Al Carter (T, 6-3, 250), Randy Fierbaugh (TE, 6-2, 215) and John Viar (FB, 6-1, 220). The defense, which permitted only 12.3 points per game last year, will miss All-American tackle Bill Overmyer, now with the Philadelphia Eagles, but has the makings of another fine forward wall in Dave Lucas (MG, 6-0, 210), Jim Yockey (T, 6-3, 225) and Bill Hoffman (T, 6-2, 220). Solid linebackers Tony Volpi (6-0, 215) and Bill Miller (6-2, 220) are backed up by a veteran secondary. Size, strength and quickness make the Eagles an all-around club. at Fairmont at Edinboro West Liberty at Westminster Geneva at W. Va. Weslayan Slippery Rock Ashland Frostburg 1972 SCHEDULE Sept.

Coach Bob DiSpirito's Rockets could wind up with the Western Division Title on their launching pad. Returning to haunt 1972 op ponents is All-Conference fullback Mike Kish (5-9, 220) and quarterback Tim Nunes who combined to give the Rockets' wins in their last six straight games. Running back John Suvoy along with a trio of promising wingbacks round out a potent Slippery Rock offense. Defensively the team is solid with nine regulars back in action including standouts Pat Risha (DT, 6-4, 265), Tom Jenkins (DE, 6-3, 210), Terry Factor (LB, 5-10, 190) and All-State cornerback Ron Hunt. Only a loss to Edinboro kept the "Rock" from winning the 1971 Western title. Big Indians BIG INDIANS AMONG NATIONAL LEADERS 1972 OUTLOOK: It's no mistake that Indiana's football teams have recorded the second best winning percentage among the nation's college division teams over the past 10 years. The Indians have been tough to beat in the past and 1972 will be no different. Although Coach Bill Neal is faced with the task of replacing some outstanding performers, it appears that he needs only a quarterback to ignite the Tribe's eleventh straight winning season. Soph Jay Collier, and 6-2 George Yokitis, a Louisville transfer, are the top aspirants. Whoever wins the job will enjoy throwing to big tight end Mark Jevicky (20 receptions, 332 yards). Pass thief Dave Balmert is the mainstay of a veteran defensive unit that is anchored in the line by tackles Charlie Maurer (6-4, 240) and Gene Raymond (6-0, 225). 1972 SCHEDULE Sept. Sept. Sept. Oct.

With versatile quarterback Joe Marx returning to harass the opposition. Clarion will be in the thick of the battle as usual. The squads only unknown quantity is in the backfield where a crop of talented youngsters are kicking up their heels. All-Conference veterans will be clearing the way along the line where Marc Riddell (T, 6-1,230), Dan Corbett (T, 6-0, 220), Mike Herring (G, 5-10,302) and Ray Bowerman (C, 5-11,208) do their thing well. Top performers back for defensive duty are Bob Guyer (E), Ed Fryman (E), Larry Cirka (T, 5-11, 216) and speedy safety Terry Sullivan. 1972 OUTLOOK: With 30 lettermen ready for action. Coach Bob Weller's Bald Eagles appear ready to turn the corner after posting the best Lock Haven record in six years with a 4-4 finish in 1971. Experience abounds on a team that has 18 of 22 offensive and defensive starters casting aspiring glances towards the Western Division title. Ed McGill, who served as Mike Packer's understudy for the past two years, is ready to take the reigns and direct the Eagle air attack. Waiting to haul down pigskin aerials are mini-flanker George Haley (28 recept., 352 yds.) and speedy split end Tommy Allen (42 recept., 649 yds.). A host of outstanding newcomers augment an already respectable aggregate of athletes. 1972 SCHEDULE Sept. Sept. Sept. Oct. Oct. Oct. Oct. Nov.

I like what I see so far.” These are the words of Gene Epiey, the new head coach at Shippensburg State, who recently came to the Red Raiders from the University of Utah. One of the major problems confronting the new mentor is getting his squad of 30 lettermen familiar with a new system. With Jim Monos graduating after two years at the controls, Epiey's grooming sophomore quarterbacks Gary Henderson and Randy Ecker. Injuries ran rampant to mar Ship's 1971 campaign as the Red Raiders battled to a 2-6 slate. Healed wounds, a new stadium and an entire new system will mark a new beginning for Shippensburg's football fortunes. 1972 SCHEDULE Sept. Sept. Sept. Sept. Oct. Oct. Oct. Oct. Nov.

(Pa.) 1972 OUTLOOK: The Red Dragons move into 1972 combat with 15 lettermen back from a 4-5 season. The defense, with seven starters returning, has an edge in experience on the offense where only five starting players will be in uniform. Coach Roger Robinson has high hopes for tight end Gary Theobald (6-2, 210) who will be a prime target for quarterback Mark Hinsch (6-1,185). Bulldozing fullback Van Berg (6-1,220), who averaged 4.3 yards per carry during the 1972 campaign, will pair up with halfback Tom Blair (5-10, 180) to form the nucleus of the offensive backfield. The Red Dragon backs should find plenty of holes up front with a king-size lineman like Tom Marrin (C, 6-1, 215), Fred Booker (T, 6-4, 230) and Rick Folderer (T, 6-3, 220) leading the way. Tackle Tom Duedrich (6-4, 240) is the mainstay of the line defensive unit where teammates Russ Hohiman (DE, 6-1, 215) and Steve Wojnar (DE, 6-2, 205) also excell. Experience should prove to be the key for Cortland's upswing in 1972 with 22 seniors waiting to see action. The Edinboro-Cortland clash will mark the first time that the two schools have met on the gridiron. 1972 SCHEDULE Sept. Sept. Sept. Oct. Oct. Oct. Oct. Nov. Nov. 1971 RESULTS (2-6) Shippensburg LAST YEAR'S GAME; Al Raines turns the corner on a Shippensburg defender as he starts his 71 -yard run to paydirt before the home fans. Raines carried the bail only three times yet tallied on TD jaunts of 20, 54 and 71 yards while accumulating 145 yards. Long scores became the order of the day as Sanford added a 64-yarder and Jack McCurry raced 85 yards with a punt return for scores. —28— 0 34 14 7 8 6 16 13 Millersville Brockport Kutztown Slippery Rock Lock Haven California Edinboro Clarion 16 23 30 7 14 21 28 4 11 Springfield at Indiana Univ.

Senior quarterbacks Gary DeHainaut (6-0,170) and Joe Seymour (6-3, 206) are being challenged by a pair of transfers in Joe Tokar (6-2, 195) from Temple and Jim Uhrinek (6-0, 195) from Indiana, Pa. The Californians are still quite respectable defensively with the likes of Jack Baciak (DE, 6-0, 190), Derrick Jones (DT, 6-0, 230), Alan Natali (DE, 6-0, 200) and linebacker Don Mathews. Running backs Tony Sargo and Jim Burns (FB, 6-1, 205) form the nucleus of the offense along with split end Ted Gialames. 1972 SCHEDULE Sept. Sept. Oct. Oct. Oct. Oct. Nov.

Located just 15 miles south of Erie, Pa., the college's setting offers a contrast of seasons. Enhanced by the beauty of Edinboro Lake, the community serves as a resort center during the summer while numerous nearby ski slopes offer a variety of recreation in the pic turesque winter months. The college's location enables it to readily serve the tri-state area with its proximity to Pittsburgh, Pa. (125 miles), Cleveland, Ohio (100 miles) and Buffalo, New York (120 miles). Moreover, it is easily accessible from the north and south by Interstate 79 and east and west by Interstate 90. TO CLASSROOM .... ESC Until recently the chief objective of the college was the education and preparation of classroom teachers for the schools of the Commonwealth. With the implementation of programs in arts, sciences and humanities, Edinboro has now become a multi-purpose institution of higher learning serving the educational needs of a tri-state area. The College has experienced a rapid growth rate in students faculty and physical plant. Forty buildings cover the 585-acre campus which now services more than 7,000 students. —37— QUALITY LEADERSHIP KEEPS ESC ON THE MOVE Miller Research Learning Center Edinboro President - Dr. Chester T. McNerney In its university oriented role, the College makes contributions in the fields of education, government, conservation, environmental improvement, urban and rural problems, crime prevention, and service to business and industry. Edinboro seeks to offer educational programs which will afford maximum opportunities to its potential students and to meet the educational needs of Its region from a professional and a cultural standpoint. With the addition of the liberal arts degree program in 1962, the College's curriculum has expanded to include numerous course selections. Curricula range from elementary and secondary education, special fields in art, library science, music, speech and special education to medical technology. Student activities are designed to develop the personality, poise, selfconfidence and professional awareness that will fit graduates for significant participation in American society. The College stresses friendly relations among students and faculty, as well as active student participation in decisions affecting them. Quality education has been an Edinboro tradition for more than a century as gradu ates have distinguished themselves in the professions, business and industry. With the appointment of Dr. Chester T. McNerney as Edinboro State's President in 1966, the College witnessed the addition of a prominent leader who is dedicated to the academic life, a tireless advocate of personal involve ment in the religious and civic affairs of one's community, and an educator who visibly believes in and practices total individual professional commitment.

The Scots' athletic program has grown to include 12 varsity sports, having added five new sports within the last four years. Officially listed on the Fighting Scot register are baseball, basketball, bowling, cross country, football, golf, judo, soccer, swimming, tennis, track and wrestling. Scot teams have been busy adding victories to the list of varsity sports as the Clansmen won 7 out of every 10 contests during last year's athletic schedule. Intercollegiate athletics play an important role in the total educational program 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. Sox Harrison Stadium, one of two major facilities located in the sports complex, has a seating capacity for 5,000 spectators and provides com petition areas for both the football and track teams. A baseball diamond of major league specifications is also located just to the west of the stadium. The McComb Fieldhouse contains three basketball courts, an AAU-sized swimming pool, a diving tank with one and three meter boards, underwater sound systems, lighting systems and viewing ports, wrestling room, two handball courts, a corrective gym, medical suite, a rifle range, two steam rooms, locker room space for 1,000 students and many additional features to meet the needs of the Health and Physical Education Department. Seating capacity of the gym is approximately 4,600 while the natatorium seats 500 spectators. Four different sets of tennis courts are situated throughout the campus while 8 bowling lanes are provided in the new student union for intercollegiate competition. The nearby Culbertson Hills Country Club is the home of the Scots' golf and cross country teams. record CROWDS WATCH SCOT GRIDDERS Pictured at top left is the largest crowd in Edinboro State's football history as an estimated 11,000 fans jammed Sox Harrison Stadium to view last year's homecoming en counter between the Fighting Scots and Slippery Rock State College.
