In just his second season as a varsity starter, Basile, from Summerhill, Pa., has set four ESC throwing marks and currently ranks among the nation's top ten passers with his 168.6 yards per game average. The strong-armed junior revised three Scot standards last week when he claimed top honors in career completions (112), career passing (1,681) and eclipsed his own season passing mark with his 843 yards in five games. Basile's 250-yard output against Indiana gave him a fourth record as he surpassed Joe Sanford's single­ game high of 247 yards against Clarion in 1971. To date the Notre Dame transfer has hit on 54 of 115 tosses while finding receivers in the end zone on three occasions. Lock Haven's Bower has been more impressive in the completion department where he has connected on 73 of 126 attempts for 647 yards and three scores. Both quarterbacks have been frustrated, however, in their efforts to get their teams on the winning track. Edinboro shows only one loss on the season in five tries, yet a pair of ties have slowed the Scots down in the victory column. Lock Haven's fate has been much bleaker as the Bald Eagles are still looking for their first win after five games. Edinboro's offensive efforts have been hampered by injuries which claimed tailback Melvin Morrisette, the team's leading rusher, guard Andre Wachenheimer and tight end Steve Larson. Coach Bill McDonald has turned to fullback Rich Holmes and tailback Bob Glaser to carry the Scots' running game while wide receivers Howard Hackley, Paul Snell and Wes Bain are busy hauling down Basile's tosses. Defensively, the Clansmen will count on line­ backers Jim McClure and Mike Schnirel, along with the front five of Jan Gefert (6-1,205), Rich Radzavich (6-4, 255), Ron Gooden (6-4, 250), Jeff Shaw (6-2, 220) and John Bayer (6-2, 215). Destined for a busy afternoon in Scot secondary is the Edinboro quartet of George Miller, Dave Seigh, Dan Smith and Jim Terry. All four own a interception on the year with Seigh picking off a pair to lead the corps. Giving them the most problems should be wingback Jerome Conlon who has grabbed 25 of Bower's passes for 222 yards. The speedy Conlon, likewise, spearheads the Eagles' ground game where he has collected 106 yards rushing. —See Edinboro stats on page 15— Leading Edinboro State against the Bald Eagles LOCK HAVEN'S RESULTS LH 6 Lycoming 10 LH 0 Bloomsburg 7 LH 6 California 33 LH 0 Clarion 37 LH 7 Shippensburg 33 BOOSTER LISTINGS Church and Murdock Electric, Inc.

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 com­ munity serves as a resort center during the summer while numerous nearby ski slopes offer a variety of recreation in the picturesque 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. 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. 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 pro­ grams which will afford maximum opportunities to its potential students and to meet the educational needs of its region from a professional and a cultural stand­ point.

PREPARING FOR TOMORROW 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 and special education to medical technology. Student activities are designed to develop the personality, poise, self-confidence and professional awareness that will fit graduates for significant par­ ticipation in American society. The College stresses friendly relations among students and faculty, as well as active student par­ ticipation in decisions affecting them. Quality education has been an Edinboro tradition for more than a century as graduates 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 has undergone innovations and reorganization that have enabled the College to keep in step with the times and maintain its academic excellence. Edinboro State College is at the brink of a new era and has taken the initiative for a new direction among the state colleges of Pennsylvania. The College plans to offer programs in such diverse fields as international education, business administration and engineering to meet its leadership responsibilities in the years ahead. Keeping pace with the College's academic progress has been a building program which has dramatically changed the physical appearance of the campus over the past decade. Included among the additions are a nine-acre lake, an athletic complex, dormitory quadrant and new student services facilities such as a student union, dining hall and health center. Scheduled for completion in the near future are a new library and administration building. 5 Wise buyers shop here and save BENNETT’S POWELL MOBIL SERVICE AUTO SUPPLY, INC.

After practice and a film study in the early eve­ ning, it’s tough to settle down to the books and for­ get the thing that has been foremost in your mind all afternoon. I doubt that any college athlete can make that transition without a real conscious effort; and, for me, it takes a concerted effort with emphasis on the detailed scheduling of my time. The average student has at least two or three hours a day to waste and still has plenty of time to study. But, an athlete spends that time on the field, meaning that his ‘off-field’ time has to be allotted to each subject spe­ cifically if he is to get the work done. I’ve found that once I’m aware of what has to be done and how little time there is to do it, I have a lot less trouble convincing myself that I should study.” Don Gaffney, Florida Junior, Business Administration “It is a matter of setting priorities. Getting a college degree and playing football and contributing to a top football program have been my two main goals for as long as I can re­ member. So, I budget my time to make certain the maximum effort is being put forth to achieve these goals. It helps me stay motivated when I think about the opportunities have such an op­ portunity.” Doug English, Texas at Austin Senior, Business “In an athlete’s preparation for college football, I think that work and study are obvious needs. The problem of study, as well as football preparation, is in self-motivation. In the case of getting ready for football itself, the need is to be motivated to work hard in the summer, so you will be ready when two-a-days come around. Then you must keep a cer­ tain perseverance of mind in mid­ season when it gets hard to keep your concentration on the game to come. In the field of academics, the temptation is to just have fun at col­ lege, never get a degree, and waste the four-year opportunity you have been given. “In athletics I drew my main moti­ vation from the fact that I have an obligation to fellow players and ‘would-be’ players who would be willing to work untold hours to start for a great school like Texas. I owe it to these people, and I owe it to myself, not to be content at any pla­ teau I might reach, but to constantly work for the next one. “I have newly founded motiva­ tion, however, for academics. It is from the thousands of guys across America who were slighted by the recent cut­ back in scholarships. This, to me, is the result of a selfish motive which I think overlooks the thing that makes college football really great. This ‘thing’ in my opinion, is free education for thousands of young athletes. “As I prepare myself athletically and academically, I can be best moti­ vated by remembering the guys who wish they had my opportunity.” Pete Demmerle, Notre Dame Senior, English and Language “The pageantry and glamour of col­ lege football today, so often alluded to by announcers in their pre-game build-ups, is scarcely definitive. The running starts before the opening kick-off, the pain before the first contact, the frustration before the first loss, the ecstasy before the final victory. “College football today does de­ mand discipline from its participants. Whether summer preparation begins in the humidity of the Northeast or in the blistering heat of the South­ west, it begins in June—alone. And it continues throughout the summer and is accented when the student re­ turns to school to pit his willingness to sacrifice against that of his team­ mates for an envi­ able first-team po­ sition. Yet as sat­ isfying as playing becomes, it can­ not become the overriding reason for a student-athlete’s existence. “The NCAA no longer overlooks or condones the slighting of scholas­ 7 tics, but now stresses equal academic and athletic achievement—and right­ fully so because increased media ex­ posure has demolished the athlete’s private shelter. He is scrutinized both on and off the field and -is evaluated in both dimensions. “Consequently, each player must come to realize that academics as­ sumes equal importance with partic­ ipation. One without the other be­ comes impossible. I am more than grateful for my experience at Notre Dame—from embarrassment in the Orange Bowl to the capturing of the 1973 National Championship. The winning, the losing, the education and the discipline can be nothing but beneficial.” Randy Rhino, Georgia Tech Senior, General Management “My philosophy on discipline is that there is a time and place for everything. I try to discipline myself physically, men­ tally and morally on and off the playing field. I am at Georgia Tech for two reasons: to graduate with a degree and to play football. I want to perform the best that I can towards both objectives. I believe if you shoot your best stick every time and try to do things right, you will finish on top more times than not. I know that I will not be playing football all my life. My degree from Georgia Tech will open many doors in the future. There is a time and place for study, for football and for fun in college. Training yourself to partici­ pate in all three without ever over­ indulging in any one is the key to successful discipline, I think.” Ritch Bahe, Nebraska Senior, Accounting “I have never really established any regimentation for disciplining myself to meet the demands of inter­ collegiate athletics and academics. However, I have tried to avoid getting behind in any of my studies. I make it a point to go to class and keep up on daily assign­ ments. It’s important to get things in on time. I guess my formula for academics and athletics is to stay on top of the situation, keep up in class and not resort to cramming because I’ve fallen behind.” McDonald Leads Scots to Gridiron Respect While he directed Indiana University's offense, the Big Indians registered 24 regular season victories 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 Wall, 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. The Fighting Scots' grid pilot served as an assistant coach at Braddock High School through two unde­ feated seasons and also at Latrobe High. McDonald holds both a B.S. degree in education and a M.Ed. from the Univ. of Cincinnati where he played linebacker under Sid Gillman and his assistant coach Paul Dietzel. This team was the original "Chinese Bandits," a defensive unit which later became famous at Louisiana State University. Gillman was head coach of the San Diego Chargers for 12 years and became general manager for the Houston Oilers after the 1972 season. After graduation from Cincinnati in 1952, the Scots' mentor continued his education in post graduate work at Penn State, Pitt and Indiana (Pa.) Universities. Head Coach - Bill McDonald COAXIAL CABLE TELEVISION CORPORATION Bill McDonald carries an impressive 29-15-3 record into the 1974 season after five years of leading the Fighting Scots' gridiron program. Under his direction, ESC gridders posted identical 9-1 slates in both 1970 and 1971 while piling up a winning streak of 21 straight regular season games. His 29-15-3 mark puts him at the top of the winning percentage list among Edinboro State football coaches with a 68 per cent reading. 122 Erie Street Edinboro, Pa. Phone 814-734-1424 Includes 10 Channels Plus local time & weather Channel & FM 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 1971 team followed up with an undefeated regular season (9-0) and a second straight PC Western Division title. Over 55 individual and team records have been established during his first four years at the reigns. RAE’s DELI —Quick Meals Upon completion of 1970's successful venture, numerous post-season laurels were bestowed upon the Scot's mentor. The Football Writers Association 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. —Selection of Natural Foods —Full Line of Hoagies —Fast Service Delicatessen COLLEGE PARK PLAZA 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.

ROMANISZYN . . . <^KING OF THE ROAD” In Cleveland, Ohio he's known as "King of the Road," his friends call him "Klondike," while back at Edinboro State and the Titusville area he's known as Jim Romaniszyn. Fighting Scot fans are quick to remember the adventuresome Romaniszyn and his dazzling gridiron performances which resulted in nine Edinboro State football records. Now the past Scot great has turned his talents to the defensive side of the ledger as a linebacker for the Cleveland Browns. The Ohio-based NFL team feels that Romaniszyn was one of the most pleasant surprises to come out of the Browns' 1973 draft as he came on strong to help the linebacking situation and played an important factor on specialty teams. "He's quick, smart and a good hitter," says Nick Skorich. "We definitely feel he's a player with a future in pro football." Cleveland sports writers have tagged him the Browns' "foremost free spirit" and continually feature his past adventures. Before turning pro, he had done such things as motorcycling to Alaska for a summer job and hitchhiking back by way of New Mexico and Florida. "Romaniszyn's latest adventures the last seven months," says Cleveland Press writer Bill Scholl, "included skiing, becoming an instant bartender, traveling to the West Coast by truck with side trips on a trail bike he took along, and fishing in eastern Canada. "I took a lot of side trips on the trail bike and kept in shape by stopping off at colleges along the way to keep up on my weightlifting program," said Romaniszyn. He also kept a set of dumbbells in the truck for extra exercise. Romaniszyn can play either middle or outside linebacker for the Browns and hopes to get a starting shot this season. 13 h.1.8 SPORTSWEAR AT Sag TJvonvitofAinbest-selling shoe in gU America 103 Erie Street Edinboro, Pa. 16412 Phone (814) 734-5184 Oulbertson Hills f( Best of Luck” R.

Plenty of talented stars are on hand for the leading roles, but the supporting cast is lined with unknown performers. (6-314, 210, so.) and Ron Nietupski (6-0, 192, jr ). Veterans Rod Jones (6-2, 185, jr.) and Paul Snell give the Scots additional threats in the receiving ranks. Top faces along the offensive line are juniors Andre Wachenheimer (6-2, 225, G), Rick Vornadore (6-2, 219, T), and sophomores Doug Goodman (6-1, 205, C) and Lou Provenzano (6-0, 220, G). Although the ESC mentor has 26 lettermen returning, McDonald is not anxious to tackle the Scots' challenging nine-game schedule. Co-captains Jim McClure (6-0, 220, sr.) and John Bayer (6-2, 215, sr.) lead a Scots' defensive unit that lost only four starters. McClure operates at linebacker, while Bayer holds down the left defensive end slot. "We're still a young team and we don't have enough athletes on hand to solve our depth problem," summarized the Scot pilot who enters his sixth season. "We should, of course, be better, but so will everybody else in our conference," McDonald continued. Complementing Bayer at the other terminal position is junior Jim Barto (6-2, 195) with Don DIugos (6-3, 240, jr.) and Jeff Shaw (6-2, 220, so.) manning the inside tackles. Battling the two interior linemen for a starting role is 6-4, 255-pound transfer. Rich Radzavich, who could move into one of the tackle posts. Also in tap up front is end Jan Gefert (6-1, 205, jr.). Although two starters are gone from the secondary, both Dave Seigh (5-11, 185, jr.) and George Miller (5-11, 170, so.) should provide leadership to a crop of talented newcomers that could prove to be just as capable as the missing vets. Two of the top faces here are Jim Terry (6-0, 183, so.), who logged enough varsity time as a frosh last year to garner an ESC letter, and junior Dan Smith. Adding strength to the second line of defense is senior Mike Schnirel (6-0, 200), the second leading tackier on the squad with 92 stops to his credit. McClure led the list as he piled up 104 hits through the campaign. A major cure could be in the offing with the addition of linebacker Kevin Erickson, (6-1, 210, so) and freshman middle guard Ron Gooden, (6-4, 250). A glance at the Edinboro roster supports Coach McDonald's concern. Only four seniors can be found on the list which includes 13 junior letter winners and 10 players who earned varsity awards as freshmen last year. Most of the top returnees bolster the Scots' offensive alignment. Edinboro's entire backfield returns intact paced by passing leader Jude Basile. Basile pitched for a record 838 yards and seven scoring strikes last year to augment the Scots' traditionally ground-oriented attack. Junior tailback Melvin Morrisette is expected to provide the speed in the ESC backfield along with sophomore jet Bob Glaser. Morrisette piled up 484 yards last fall and tallied five TD's to lead the team in both rushing and scoring. The shifty-footed Glaser totaled 322 yards to finish second best among the ground gainers and sported the highest per carry average (4.9). Awaiting Basile's aerials is Edinboro's most talented group of receivers ever in split ends Howard Hackley and Wes Bain, as well as tight ends Steve Larson 17 1974 EDINBORO STATE FOOTBALL ROSTER Name *Bain, Wes Barthelmes, Lee *Barto, James *Basile, Jude * *Bayer, John Bock, Carter Bruce, Jeff Campbell, Kevin Chobany, Dave Cochran, Del Collins, Dan Courtney, Richard Crawshaw, Brad Deguffroy, Augie Dickman, Gary DiGello, Gerry 'DIugos, Don 'Erickson, Kevin Ferrare, Mike Figley, Dave Florence, Eddie Ford, Gerald 'Gefert, Jan Gilbert!, Jeff 'Glaser, Bob Gooden, Ron 'Goodman, Doug Goodwin, Jim Graham, Okey 'Hackley, Howard Hampy, Greg Harmotto, Mike Harmon, Gary 'Heintz, Bill Holmes, Richard Jennings, Dale Johnson, William 'Jones, Rod Katich, Brent Kisick, Tim Lane, Tom 'Larson, Steve Libert, Bryon 'Littler, Larry Maher, David 'McClure, Jim McCombs, Roland 'McGartland, Dave McHenry, Dan McKenrick, Pat McMahon, Rick 'Miller, George 'Morrisette, Melvin Montella, Chris 'Nietupski, Ron Ollison, Louis Piocquidio, Tony Provenzano, Lou Radzavich, Richard Reffner, Terry Scott, James 'Schnirel, Mike 'Seigh, Dave 'Shaw, Jeff Shirey, Greg Smith, Dan 'Snell, Paul Spohn, Bob Sullivan, Greg 'Terry, Jim 'Vornadore, Rick 'Wachenheimer, Andre Wetzel, Fred Wolf, Steven ‘ Varsity Letters Pos.

SCOTS’ SHATTER VICTORY RECORD WIN 3 OUT OF EVERY 4 CONTESTS . . . Hank Mariotti's netmen just missed an unblemished mark with a 10-1 ledger and kept championship form by winning their first ever Pennsylvania Conference crown. Coach Jim McDonald's divot-diggers fired their way to Edinboro's best golf record in history when they went through the spring with a 16-3 card to register an impressive .842 percentage. Not even the nation's fast rising inflationary forces can seem to keep pace with Edinboro State's rapidly rising winning percentage mark in athletics. Fighting Scot athletes in twelve varsity sports shattered the school's winning percentage mark for the fifth straight year as they produced 112 wins against only 34 losses and 4 ties to claim a recordbreaking .752 percentage for the 1973-74 year. Hitting an even .800 mark were Vern Vogel's keglers who bowled their way to a 12-3-1 finish. While Edinboro State athletes were winning 3 out of every 4 intercollegiate contests in which they competed, they also set an ESC record for the most wins in a single season with their 112 successes. With the top five Scot varsity sports hitting at an .800 or better clip, another quintet of ESC varsity teams continued the hot pace with .700 or better season records. Included in the group were Gus Miller's judo squad, 7-2-0 (.778); Jim McDonald's cagers, 18-6-0 (.750); Coach Ed Erdos' swimmers, 9-3-0 (.750); John Furcron's soccer team, 8-3-1 (.727); and Fred Caro's grapplers, 10-4-1 (.714). Highlighting the assault with perfect season cards were Coach Doug Watts' cross country and track teams. Watts' distance men completed their season unbeaten, 10-0, while running to a third place national finish and claiming both the Pennsylvania Conference and the NAIA District championships enroute to their best finish ever. His tracksters went throt/gh their dual meet schedule unscathed at 5-0 and, likewise, annexed the Pennsylvania Conference and District crowns. The soccer team's first ever District championship headlined the laurels reaped by the five different sports while the basketball team garnered additional honors with its runner-up spot in the District finals. 26 Your Hometown Edinboro Travel Service SUNBEAM BAKER Complete Travel Service at no cost to you!

Phone 454-8101 34 Wave at the Folks, Catch the Ball, Run by TOM McEWEN, Tampa Tribune Sports Editor President, Football Writers of America This year the receiver of a punt in college football may shade his eyes from the sun, or scratch his neck, catch the oncoming ball, and then run with it. Last year he couldn’t. In fact, if he shaded his eyes, or scratched his neck, or both, caught the ball, and ran with it, the ball wasn’t just re­ turned to the spot of his reception. It was returned there, and then the receiver and his team were penalized for his illegal fair catch. William Webb Ellis, playing for Old Bigside Prep School in Rugby, Eng­ land, violated the rules of rugby when after signalling for a fair catch, instead of legally kicking it back, he ran with it! It wasn’t just a rule violation and very unsports­ manlike deed, it was an act that sug­ gested the modern game of football. On Nov. 23, 1876, the first rules committee met at the Messasoit House in Springfield, Mass. Sixtyone rules were passed at that first conference. Rule No. 28 read: A Fair Rule was that a Fair Catch Signal meant waving the upraised hand, and arm, back and forth above the head. Any other act with the hand and arm above the receiver’s waist wasn’t just a no Fair Catch signal, it was an illegal, invalid Fair Catch signal, punishable in yards. Catch is a catch made direct from a kick or a throw forward, or a knock on by one of the opposite side, or from a punt-out or a punt-on, pro­ vided the catcher makes a mark with his heel, at the spot where he made the catch and no other of his side touch the ball. Last January, John Waldorf’s NCAA Football Rules Committee figured it was unjust to prevent the shading of eyes (some safetymen re­ sorted to visors), and made a change in College Football Rule 2, Section 7, titled “Fair Catch.” The hand (not arm) must still be waved above the head and clearly, but a receiver with a sudden itch above the waist may scratch it, or he may shade his eyes, catch the ball and hot-foot it towards the enemy goal. Specifically, the in­ terpretation now is: Yes, the early signal for faircatching was heel-marking. Later, he’d have to raise his hand, and heelmark. Why not eliminate the rule com­ pletely and have no Fair Catch? Well, that was tried too. It hap­ pened in 1954. It lasted one year when cries of outrage arose at the abuse safety men were taking. The step-child rule went back on the books in 1955. Some of the previous changes: Oct. 14, 1884—First penalty was put in for interference with a Fair Catch. May 10, 1890 — If a fair catcher after making his mark be deliber­ ately thrown to the ground, he shall be given five yards unless this would carry the ball across the goal line, in which case one-half of the remain­ ing difference shall be given. A valid fair catch signal or any other waving signal deprives the re­ ceiver of the opportunity to advance the hall and the hall is declared dead at the spot of the catch. If the re­ ceiver shades his eyes, or makes any signal other than a waving signal and catches the ball, the ball is live and may be advanced. Why Get Excited? Why all this attention to what ap­ pears to be a yawner of a rule change? Because that change represented the 65th alteration in the “Fair Catch” Rule in the 99 years there have been college football rules of any kind. No other single part of the game, a part so seemingly insignifi­ cant, has required so much attention, if it can be called insignificant be­ cause the truth is that just maybe football as we know it probably was born out of a violation of the Fair Catch rule. It was 150 years ago when one above his head and does not take more than two steps after catching the ball. Alfonse and Gaston March, 1907—Opportunity to make a Fair Catch is where the player is in such a position it would be pos­ sible for him to reach the ball before it touches the ground ... In case a signal is made for a Fair Catch by any player who has the opportunity for a fair catch and another player of his side who had not signalled for a Fair Catch, catches the ball, no run shall be made, nor shall a Fair Catch be allowed. And so it went, even to last Janu­ ary, when the committee, essentially, made these five changes: (1) Waving the hand (not arm) above the head from side to side more than once is a legal Fair Catch signal; (2) There will no longer be a penalty for an Invalid Fair Catch signal; (3) A play­ er may shade his eyes, catch the ball, and run with it; (4) Any fair catch signal behind the line of scrimmage is ignored; (5) On a Fair Catch, only the player who has given a Fair Catch signal is given Fair Catch pro­ tection. It seems clear that the only thing certain about the Fair Catch Rule is that it will be changed again, and again, and again. And while we’re on the subject. I’d like to suggest one alteration. The name—Fair Catch—is mis­ leading. Ought to be Free Catch. May 8, 1894—A Fair Catch is a catch made direct from a kick by one of the opponents, or a punt-out by one of the same side, provided the man intending to make the catch indicates that intention by holding up his hand when rimning for the ball and also makes mark with his heel upon catching it. March 31, 1895—The player mak­ ing a Fair Catch need not signal with his hand, but must mark with his heel. If he makes no mark, he may run with the ball. Jan. 12, 1906—A Fair Catch con­ sists in catching the ball, provided the player while advancing towards the ball signals his intention of mak­ ing a Fair Catch, by raising his hand 35 Tom McEwen ARTHUR F.

Nonetheless, Edinboro State soccer mentor George Shimpeno is not one to bear on the gloomy side of what appear seemingly impossible situations. "There's no doubt that we lost a lot of important people," reflects Shimpeno, "but we have the found­ ation for a very competitive team." Shimpeno will have to build his squad around a pair of seniors in Mike Radakovich and Mike Zafirovski. The pair proved to be standout performers as the Scots posted their best ever soccer season last year with an 8-3-1 record and brought home the school's first NAIA District 18 soccer championship. Radakovich piled up a record 131 saves to be listed as the second leading shot-blocker in the Western Division of the Pennsylvania Conference. Zafirovski provided the offensive punch as he followed the Scots' Jim Kirk in the scoring department with nine goals. Both received post season honors in the Western Pennsylvania Intercollegiate Soccer Conference. "Of course, we'll have to build our defense around Radakovich," says Shimpeno, "and we can put two fairly experience people in front of him in Doug Boyer and Mike Pandurevic." Boyer was a consistent fresh­ man performer at left fullback, while Pandurevic helped out at center fullback. After a year's absence from the sport. Gene Valicenti returns to add depth to the defense and support to the scoring. His experience from summer competition, along with that of Francis Bonk, could prove to be just what Shimpeno needs in the way of veteran players. Also adding defensive strength as a returnee is sophomore left winger Jack Swope who proved to be a smooth performer throughout his frosh campaign. However, the key to the entire season will be the play of a crop of talented freshmen who will fill starting varsity positions. Shimpeno is depending heavily on Amilcar Flores and Roberto Serrano, a pair of promising newcomers from Honduras, along with Ron Skalski. Both Flores and Serrano will have to provide scoring punch and help with the ball handling, while Skalski, an AllWPIAL selection, should help fill some of the holes in the defense. "Overall, we're not too concerned about the defense," claims Shimpeno, "our problem will be one of adjustment with new people playing together and trying to score goals." Also staring Shimpeno's youngsters in the face is a rugged schedule which pits the Scots against such Conference standouts as Lock Haven and Slippery Rock, along with the University of Pittsburgh. 1974 SOCCER SCHEDULE Sept.
