DIEBOLD EDINBORO UNIVERSITY educational innovation brought about by the President is a concept known as “Partnerships in Education and Industry.” This activity emphasizes an increased level of awareness of the needs and desires of the educational and industrial com­ munities. A native of Orange, New Jersey, President Diebold served as president of the University of Alaska from 1977-1979. Prior to that, he was executive secretary to the board of regents and special assistant to the president of the University of Alaska’s Statewide System. From 1969 to 1976, he was director of the Division of College Development and Planning at Kean College in New Jersey (formerly Newark State College); and from 1965 to 1969, he was assistant superintendent of Neptune Township Public Schools in New Jersey. Edinboro University’s president holds a bachelor of science in education from Monmouth College, a master of arts in educational administration from Seton Hall University; and he has met course requirements for his doctorate in education at Rutgers University. President Foster F. Diebold Since his appointment as president of Edinboro Univer­ sity on August 1, 1979, Foster F. Diebold has initiated a wide variety of policies/ procedures and programs on the Edinboro University campus which have been designed to complement his desire for an increased level of excellence and quality in higher education. Noted for his extensive experience in the field of education management, President Diebold previously served as president of the University of Alaska Statewide System. His principal fields of professional interest include higher education management, governance and planning, budget development and fiscal control, legislative liaison, and personnel manage­ ment/collective bargaining. President Diebold strives for perfection and innovation in higher education. In so doing, and under his direction, this University can pride itself on outstanding programming, such as the Disabled Students Program which is one of the largest in the eastern part of the United States. The newest effort in President Diebold currently serves as chairman of the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Board of Directors and is a member of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities Committee on State Relations and Committee on Governance; the State System of Higher Education (SSHE) Commission of University Presidents’ Business and Finance Committee, Human Resource Management Comrhittee, and Educational Policy Committee; and the Board of Governors Long-Range Planning Committee. He is also a charter member of the World Future Society and a member of the SSHE search committee for a vice chancellor for finance and administration. Active in the community. President Diebold serves on the Board of Corporators for Hamot Medical Center and the St. Vincent Foundation for Health and Human Services. He is a member of the Marine Bank Advisory Board, the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Corporation Scholarship Review Committee, and serves as guest speaker at numerous civic and educational organizations throughout the year. The President and his wife, Patricia, have two daughters— ten-year-old Jessica and four-year-old Stacey. After 125 years of service to the tri-state area, Edinboro experienced its most significant change in history on July 1, 1983, when the College became Edinboro University of Pennsylvania. Founded as a private academy in 1857, Edinboro University has continued its surge to the forefront as one of the leading educational institutions in western Pennsylvania. Situated on a sprawling 585-acre campus in the scenic resort community of Edinboro, the University is within 100 miles of the educational and cultural centers of Buffalo, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh. It is just 15 miles south of Erie, the third largest city in Pennsylvania, and easily accessible from all directions by interstates 79, 80 and 90. Edinboro has the distinction of being the second normal school established in Pennsylvania and the 12th in the United States. It has grown to more than forty buildings including the 350,000-volume Baron-Forness Library, a modern seven-story structure which serves as a focal point for the spacious campus. Nearly 6,100 students repre­ senting almost every county in the Commonwealth, as well as numerous states and foreign countries attend Edinboro. Its tradition of educational service and research is matched by a distinguished faculty, more than two-thirds of whom have earned doctoral degrees. The University now offers more than 100 undergraduate, graduate, and associate degree programs, a diversity unmatched by any other college or university in northwestern Pennsylvania. While seeking to meet the educational needs of its region from both a professional and cultural standpoint, Edinboro now makes contri­ butions in the fields of education, government, environmental improvement, urban and rural problems, crime prevention, and service to business and industry. Recent program developments include those in the high-demand areas of allied health, business administration, communication, computer technology, nursing, and various pre-professional offerings such as law, dentistry, medicine, pharmacy and veterinary science. Numerous student internships provide additional examples of the University’s efforts to create a close working relationship with the people it serves while, at the same time, offering students intellectual and career opportunities. Edinboro has initiated the University Honors Program to provide challenging and enriched learning experiences for academ­ ically gifted students. Undergraduate students are encouraged to strive for academic excellence both in their major fields and in other disciplines. Honors students pursue studies that are greater in depth and scope than those required of other undergraduates. Although the costs for attending Edinboro rank among the lowest in the Commonwealth, over $10,000,000 in financial aid is available annually to eligible students. Students are admitted to the University in September. January, or at the beginning of each summer session and are considered for admission on the basis of their general scholarship, nature of secondary program, and SAT or ACT scores. 3 ATHLETIC DIRECTOR — JIM McDONALD which also was the sight once again of pre-season drills for the Pitt Panthers football team. Sox Harrison Stadium is the site of the Cleveland Browns vs. the Buffalo Bills annual rookie scrimmage, which has been a yearly mid-summer highlight. The personable athletic director also introduced Edin­ boro’s Hall of Fame program which has evolved into an annual year-ending event to honor present and past athletes. McDonald has been at Edinboro since 1962 and for 12 years served as the Fighting Scot basketball coach (1962-1975) and never experienced a losing season while his teams compiled an impressive 181 wins against only 89 losses. During that span, his cagers won four Western Division Pennsylvania Con­ ference crowns, the PC state championship and two District 18 titles that netted trips to the NAIA National Tournarn^nt. His teams set 27 University records and made 19 ppst-season appearances while four of his players were named AllAmericans. / Prior to accepting his position at Edinboro, McDonald served as assistant basketball coach in Erie, Pa. He is a 1956 graduate of Bridgeport High School in his home town of Bridgeport, West Virginia. In 1960 he received a degree in chemistry and physical education from West Virginia Wesleyan College and he also holds a master’s degree in health from the University of Buffalo. As an undergraduate, he set nine school records at Wesleyan and was twice voted both AP and UPI basketball All-American. In 1960, he was the second leading scorer in the United States, averaging slightly over 33 points a game, and led his team to the national basketball tournament in Kansas City, M issouri. He was named to the NAIA’s All-Tournament Team in 1959 and 1960. In 1966, McDonald was selected Area Eight Coach of the Year by the eastern seaboard coafches and that same year was honored as one of the top ten finalists in the Coach of the Year national poll. McDonald’s honors also include selection to the West Virginia All-Time College Basketball Team and member­ ship in the West Virginia Sports Hall of Fame. He served four years on the NAIA’s All-American selection committee and was chosen by the NAIA to coach an All-American team of NBA-bound cagers who won the Gold Medal in Israel’s Hapoel Games. In addition to his classroom and basketball coaching duties, McDonald was Edinboro’s golf coach for 17 years during which his teams won over 40 tournaments and finished as high as 3rd place at the NCAA Division II National Tournament. As a resident of Edinboro, McDonald has a record of extensive community involvement. He was Little League Baseball Director for four years and also held a four-year post as a member of the General McLane School Board. He and his wife, Mary Lou, have three sons - Mark, Mike, and Matthew. Athletic Director - Jim McDonald Edinboro University’s athletic program was placed under the talented and aggressive leadership of Jim McDonald in July of 1981. Increased emphasis on fund raising to provide a sound scholarship foundation has become his top priority while numerous changes and innovations have also keyed the Scots’ athletic program under his direction. Through his efforts more than 1.5 million dollars has been raised during the past four years. The funds generated by the energetic athletic director’s efforts will be used to assist Edinboro’s men and women athletes who compete in the Scots sixteen intercollegiate sports. “EUP has outstanding coaches and facilities. With these ingredients, there is no reason we could not be competitive in the PSAC and Division II.” In addition to maintaining Edinboro’s respected winning tradition in intercollegiate athletics, the former health and physical education professor has vastly expanded the Univer­ sity’s summer activities. Forty-four camps were sponsored by the Fighting Scots Booster Club this past summer on the University’s campus 4 MEET THE SCOTS... STEVE SZABO — DIRECTION FOR THE FUTURE SCOTS TO CONTINUE WINNING WAYS “I’m here to win. And we’re going to win. But not at the expense of losing the respect of the players and other people involved in the program. I hope to create success in an atmosphere where people are trying to help you.” In addition to his three years at Ohio State, Szabo spent 1977 and 1978 as a defensive line coach at Iowa Stete. From 1974 through 1976 he was a defensive line coach,at Syracuse University and the three previous seasons, he fcoached the offensive line, defensive line and linebackers respectively at the University of Iowa. He was also an assistant at the University of Toledo and John Hopkins University. For the past three years, Szabo has been offensive coordinator at Western Michigan University, as well as coaching the quarterbacks and wide receivers. As a player Szabo was an offensive and defensive halfback at the Naval Academy. He also earned All-America honors in lacrosse and was named to the All-Time Middie team. Following graduation from the Academy, Szabo served a 13month tour of duty in Vietnam and was named to the AllService football team with the Quantico Marines. Head Coach Steve Szabo Szabo, who describes himself as a “very goal oriented person,” has set some goals for the futpre of Edinboro football. First, he said he wants to produce ^'Winning team starting with the PS AC title, with long range hdpes of a national champion­ ship at the Division II level. Second, Szabo hopes to establish a program which is meaningful to his players, and ensure that above all they get an education. Third, Szabo hopes to create a positive football atmosphere at Edinboro which will involve the faculty, student body and the community. Finally, Szabo said he would like to instill an attitude of pride and togetherness within the team unit stressing, “A team program will transcend any individual greatness.” Edinboro University appointed the tenth coach in its 55year football history this spring with the announcement that Steve Szabo had been named the new Fighting Scot head football coach. A native of Chicago, Illinois, Szabo graduated with honors from the United States Naval Academy in 1965 with a B.S. degree in physics and a minor in mathematics and electrical engineering. In addition, Szabo completed graduate work in aerospace engineering and has also pursued doctoral work on a fellowship at John Hopkins University. From 1979 to 1981, the Scot head coach served as a defensive line coach at Ohio State under Earl Bruce, during which time the Buckeyes ranked in the top 20 and played in bowl games all three years. In 1979, he directed a standout defensive unit that ranked third in the nation in total defense. “Steve brings 16 years of experience to our program,” commented Edinboro Athletic Director Jim McDonald. “We feel we have selected a very capable person who will continue the successful direction in which our program has been headed.” “Steve is very disciplined, hard working and responsible,” offered Buckeye coach Earl Bruce. “I wouldn’t hesitate to rehire him on my staff,” added the Ohio State mentor. The new Scot coach has two children, Christine and Michael. Szabo now resides in Edinboro with his wife, Patti. 6 Edinboro University has compiled an impressive 25-5 mark over the past three years but the traditionally tough Scots, who return 32 lettermen and 11 starters, face 2 major changes in 1985. The most significant is the addition of a new head coach in Steve Szabo. The second major change is filling the void caused by the graduation loss of record-shattering quarterback, Blair Hrovat. “We’re going to go through a transition period, as it inevitably happens in situations such as this,” stated new head mentor, Szabo. “But we will still remain basically a Wing-T football team on offense and a Multiple 3-4 formation team on defense.” Even though the formations employed by the Boro eleven will remain fundamentally the same, Szabo revealed his plans of adjustment within those systems. “Offensively, we will throw the ball more. Defensively we intend to use more coverages and apply more pressure on the opponent’s offense. By more pressure, I mean an attacking style of defense that will make the other team’s offense play defensively.” Szabo’s designs for the Fighting Scots to travel the flight paths more often this fall rest squarely on the shoulders of Scott Dodds (Beaver, PA). The 6-0, 178-pound senior quarterback, who elected to be red shirted in 1983, gets his opportunity this fall to step out of Hrovat’s shadow and begin making his own marks at the very important position. Dodds hinted last season that he is capable of handling the duties as he completed 10 of 23 passes for 160 yards and 3 touchdowns in limited playing time. “Quarterback is a very pivotal position for the success of this team,” said Szabo. “If Scott can have a good year, then we should fly.” Listed as the understudy in the quarterback rank is senior Dan Conwell (6-1, 175, McMurray, PA). Given the responsibility of protecting either Dodds or Conwell is an enormous, veteran line which is undeniably the strong point of the Boro offense. Spearheaded by four seniors including guard Dom Grande (6-0,250, Pittsburgh, PA), tackle Mark Wallace (6-4, 255, Uniontown, PA), center Dave Higham (6-2, 240, Hubbard, OH), tackle Jim Britt (6-4, 260, Girard, OH) and junior guard Scott Weinhold (6-4, 255, Pittsburgh, PA), the new Scot head mentor likes the looks of the offensive front. “Tackle to tackle, I see no weaknesses because they are big and they play so well as a group,” beamed Szabo. Pushing for game time are junior tackles Scott Frary 7 SECONDARY...BACKBONE OF THE DEFENSE TRUEMAN...A STRONG OFFENSIVE WEAPON SCOUTING THE 1985 SCOTS NAME: Edinboro University of Pa.

Senior Mark Merrit (5-11, 250, Industry, PA), a part-time starter last year, will again be hustling for more playing time at center. In addition to keeping opponents away from the quarter­ back, the Edinboro front wall must keep the pathways clear again for the Scot backs. Last year, Boro runners churned out 244.1 yards per game, the country’s sixth best rushing mark among NCAA II schools. With the departure of starters Ray Rhodes, Damon Chambers and Bob Klenk, Szabo must find replacements for all three this season. “We have a number of good backs to work with, so finding replacements should be no real problem,” claimed the Edinboro coach. “I was particularly impressed with Floyd Faulkner. I understand Slippery Rock has a good back in Chuck Sanders. But from what I’ve seen, Floyd has the potential to be as good as any top back in the conference.” Last season the 5-9, 180-pound freshman flash from Coraopolis, Pennsylvania, bolted for just 87 yards on 18 attempts, but he showed signs of brilliance in each outing, especially so versus West Virginia Wesleyan when he carried 4 times for 50 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Getting the early nod to join Faulkner in the starting backfield are seniors Jim Pisano (6-0, 210, Lower Burrell, PA) at fullback and Ross Rankin (5-11, 185, Canton, OH) at right halfback. Juniors Carmen Cicero (5-9, 180, Niles, OH), John Georgiana (5-10, 195, Altoona, PA) and Dave Span (5-10, 180, Orlando, FL) are the top backups to the early starting trio. Span appears to be the choice reserve here as he gained 319 yards on just 29 carries last year. If Szabo wants to pass more this season, then the receiving corps will be a vital link to its success. Edinboro is very sound at tight end where Bob Suren (6-4,205, Parma, OH), a junior, and senior Phil Lorch (6-1, 220, New Hyde Park, NY) platooned last fall and caught passes for 150 and 124 yards respectively. “We have good players in Suren and Lorch. We have no problems there; they will get the job done,” assured Szabo. “However, at wide receiver it still remains to be seen just who will step in there and do the job that needs to be done. That position is a big question mark.’’Senior Dave Gierlak (5-8, 150, Buffalo, NY), a redshirt last season, has been given the initial starting spot with converted defensive back Mark Perkins (5-10, 180, Havre de Grace, MD), a senior, as the backup. Should the Plaid be stopped short of the goal line, Edinboro will have third team All-American placekicker Jim Trueman waiting in the wings for a shot at the uprights. The 5-8, 180-pound booting ace from Bellevue, Pennsylvania, 8 ranked sixth among all Division II point-getters with a 7.5 points per game average. He has already broken or tied 5 Scot kicking records including most extra points in a season (42), most consecutive extra points (41), most extra points in a career (81), most extra points in a game (7), and most field goals in a game (3). Szabo is delighted with the junior kicking star. “Jim is really a quality placekicker who has already proven he is more than capable. With some teams, a field goal attempt is an adventure. With Jim, they are almost guaranteed. He will definately win some games for us.” When the Boro offense is stalled beyond Trueman’s range, punters Tom King (6-2, 190, Huntington, NY) and Doug Eberle (6-4, 185, Slippery Rock, PA) will be called upon to get the Scots out of trouble. Szabo’s ideas for an unrelenting, attacking style of defense begin with Edinboro’s primary defensive strong point, the secondary, lead by senior free safety Ray Bracy (6-0, 180, Youngstown, OH). Bracy, an AP All-American Honorable Mention selectee last year, was in on 36 tackles and snared 6 errant throws to help him rate second on the Scots’ defensive point chart last fall. “Ray is a proven player of excellent quality in a key position,” stated the first-year Edinboro coach. “He’ll be calling all the coverages and checks for us out on the field.” 9 1985 PRE-SEASON DEPTH CHARTS PC TRADITIONALLY TOUGH Joining Bracy in the defensive backfield are returning starters Martelle Betters (6-0, 180, Connellsville, PA), Don Davis (6-1, 190, Pittsburgh, PA) and Terrell Clifford (5-11, 175, Canton, OH). Junior Betters picked off seven passes from his strong cornerback slot in 1984 to rate fourth among NCAA II players in that category. Davis, a senior at strong safety, and Clifford, a junior performer at quick cornerback, are both proven players. “Undoubtedly,” said Szabo, “this is the strength of our defense.” Roaming the middle of Edinboro’s 3-4 defensive align­ ment are a pair of linebackers in new starting roles. Junior Stan Tomajko (6-1, 210, New Stanton, PA), an aggressive player who made 45 hits while filling in for injured starter Willie Chealey last year, will hold down the left linebacker duties. Marvin Winn (5-11, 200, Canton, OH), just a sophomore, has nailed the right linebacking slot. Behind them are senior Allen Ellis (6-0, 202, Albion, NY), junior Abdul Hakim (5-10, 208, Erie, PA) and sophomore Kevin Akromas (6-1, 200, West Seneca, NY). “Because of our style of defense, the linebackers will make a lot of tackles,” predicted Szabo. Senior ends Dave Emmert (6-3, 215, Lower Burrell, PA) and John Brenneman (6-0,230, Warren, OH) anchor a veteran defensive line. Emmert and Brenneman were 1-2 atop the Scots’ tackle leaders last fall with 60 and 59 stops respectively. Brenneman also was the top sack-getter with seven. Senior Sean Henderson (6-0, 230, West Mifflin, PA), the team’s middle guard last year who claimed 48 tackles in ‘84, will slide over to the right tackle slot this year to make room for fellow classmate Matt Grebenc (5-7, 185, Wickliffe, OH). Szabo likes the scrappy Grebenc, who collected 18 tackles and 5 quarter­ back sacks last season in very limited playing time. “Matt is a tenacious player who possesses excellent quickness. He is the emotional, highly intensive person we need to get the defense fired up.” Left tackle Chuck Murray (6-4, 255, Tyrone, PA) is the only junior starting on the Boro’s first line of defense. Biding time for their chance to play are backups John Cardone (5-11, 215, Pittsburgh, PA), Tom Nolan (6-4, 205, Buffalo, NY), Robert Lewis (6-3, 245, Rochester, NY), Jay McDonald (6-1,260, BelAir, MD), and Brad Bowers (6-1,225, Kittanning, PA). Edinboro will tune up for rugged Pennsylvania Con­ ference play by opening the 1985 schedule on the road against a pair of strong out-of-state foes when they kick off the season September 7 at Detroit, Michigan’s, Wayne State and then travel the following Saturday to Central Connecticut. After a week’s rest, the Fighting Scots will make their home debut in Sox Harrison Stadium against defending PC champ California on September 28.

His traditionally stingy defen­ sive units have also rated among the national leaders during that span highlighted by 1983’s eighth-place finish after allowing a mere 65.6 yards per game, the second best mark in Edinboro University history. In his first year with the Scots, he tutored the defensive line and followed with a three-year stint as offensive coordinator before returning to the defensive side of the ledger.

Success followed him coaching on the defensive side of the football where he groomed both linebackers and secondary stalwarts who continued to revise Edinboro records. Bowen has helped shape the collegiate careers of such Fighting Scot standouts as linebackers Jim Krentz and Greg Sullivan, the top two tacklers in Edinboro history. In addition, he has tutored such Boro greats as Jim Romaniszyn, Dave Green, Joe Sanford, Bob Mengerink, A1 Raines, Howard Hackley and Bob Jahn.

The Rock’s offense returns nine starters including second-team All-America and conference rushing leader Chuck Sanders. As a tailback Sanders ran for 1,280 yards in 1984, 1,157 coming in the last seven games of the season. Other offensive standouts include slotback Wade Acker, who is one of the Rock’s all-time leading receivers. “We’ll have a very sound offense because all of our starters return except at center and wide receiver,” said Ault, “We’re going to depend on ball control and try to wear down our opponents,” continued the Rocket mentor. Defensively Slippery Rock has six starting vacancies to fill. Top returnees here are tackle Ed Robinson, linebacker Dave Linton, end Terry Wallace and free safety Todd Durand.

Ingold suffered a severe spleen injury midway through the season as he was leading the nation in passing efficiency (157.1). Sophomore Bob Kiel then stepped in and tossed for 1036 yards and 12 touchdowns. With the loss of Brenner and Thompson, more responsibility may be placed on fullback Dave Seidel (727 yards) and tailback James Calhoun (570). On the opposite side of the line, four starting linebackers return including Bob Buiak (160 tackles) and Kevin Cottrell (76). Strong safety Matt Matis (109) and cornerback Kevin McCorkle (76) offer solid experience in the secondary.

Tim Bishop caught 52 passes for 810 yards and 9 touchdowns as he was named to the All-PS AC first team. Joe Rovnan hauled in 40 passes for 713 yards and 6 TD’s. Two year reserve Charlie Diskin will be looked upon to replace standout QP Andy Baranek. Baranek was a three-year starter who passed for 2,295 yards last season. For the Warriors to improve upon their 5-5 mark last season, the team’s defense will have to improve. Coach Denny Douds thinks it will improve considering nine starters are returning, including the entire secondary and linebacker corps. Linebacker Dan Murray is the warrior to watch on defense. Along with Murray, look out for defensive halfbacks Tracy Coleman and Chris Gerhard, both All-PSAC second-team selections.

With the return of wide receiver Terry McFetridge, an AllAmerican pick two years ago. Coach Gene Sobolewski’s squad can be expected to have a dangerous air attack. A sturdy defensive line is formed around a pair of seniors in noseguard John Hughes and tackle Bob Jarosinski, who totaled 101 and 96 tackles respectively. Providing more punch in the defense is senior back Jerry Haslett who made 120 tackles last fall.

Offensively, Lock Haven has young but experienced players at the skill positions in quarterback Pat Cahill, running backs Eric Speece and Rick Lawrence, all of who are sophomores, in addition to junior fullback Roosevelt Brown. A huge veteran line returns five starters led by tackles Todd Johnson (265 pounds) and John Eisenhooth (275) with guard Chris Jackson (235). On the defensive ledger. Lock Haven claims linebackers Bill Peterson and Stan Allen “are one of the league’s best tandems,” and backs Jeff Swanson and Nick Biscontini are returning starters. Tackle Dave Shriver and end Todd Ritter are strong veterans, but the Bald Eagles need to find depth for the line.

Carey connected on 63 of 117 passp? for 636 yards and five touchdowns in six games played last f/tll. A top target for Carey this season could be fellow senior captain, wideout Mike Brady. In the rushing department. Miller returns to lead that charge where he ground out 601 yards in ‘84. The big worry in the Raiders’ camp is whether or not the defensive line, which gave up 166.5 yards per game last year, can shore up its ranks for 1985. Senior defensive end Dave Hurdle, a second-year captain, should take the lead here.

Whoever wins the starting nod will be expected to get the ball to All-West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference performer Ed Coleman. The senior wide receiver snared 60 passes for 934 yards and seven touchdowns last year. Another good connection for the air game is senior tight end Joe Haas, who caught 17 passes for 215 yards and one touchdown in 1984.

Over the past three campaigns, the Scots have rallied to impressive 9-2, 8-2, and 8-2 charts while either breaking or tying an unprecedented 54 Edinboro grid records. Hrovat directed the scots to a 28-6 ledger during 34 straight starts over the past four seasons and shattered all but one Edinboro University passing mark enroute to revising 16 Edinboro football records. The Northfield, Ohio, product sparkplugged an offense ranked as the nation’s third best in scoring (35.3 points per game) and also rated third on the Scots’ all-time total offense list behind a 411.7 yards per game output. Hrovat hit 97 of 199 attempts during the 1984 campaign for 1,517 yards and 14 touchdowns. His senior finale extended his record totals to 5,103 passing yards, 49 touchdown tosses (a Pennsylvania Conference mark), and a 6,070 yard total offense figure. Wide receiver Eric Bosley and halfback Bob Klenk, a pair of seniors, were Hrovat’s top targets as each grabbed 23 passes. Bosley was the deep threat with a team leading 489 yards and six TD receptions with Klenk totaling 225 yards coming out of his halfback slot. Bosley was doubly effective on special teams as he set new Edinboro standards for the most kickoff return yards in a season (757) and a career (1,247). His 27.0 yar^ls per return ranked fourth in the nation on 1984’s final NCAA II stats. Senior fullback Ray Rhodes spearheaded an Edinboro ground game that churned out 244.1 yards per game, the country’s sixth best rushing mark among NCAA II schools. Rhodes netted a team leading 619 yards to produce a highly respectable 5.4 yards per carry. Fleet-footed sophomore Dave Span improved with each outing and finished tops among the returnees with 319 yards that yielded a remarkable 11.0 yards per trip. His 67-yard TD jaunt against Indiana was the longest scoring run of the year by an Edinboro back. Still to be reckoned with in the record revising department was sophomore place kicker Jim Trueman who set three school marks. Listed among his new standards were extra points in a season - 42, most extra points in a career -81, and most extra points in a game - 8. Combined with his eleven field goals, Trueman far outdistanced all Scot scorers with 75 points and a 7.5 points-per-game average placing him sixth in the national scoring list. Not to be overshadowed was a Fighting Scot defense which was continually forced to fight off nagging injuries, but still proved stingy to the opposition. Headlining the group were top tackling defensive ends John Brenneman and Dave Emmert who posted respective 60 and 59 team leading stops followed closely by linebacker Bob O’Rorke with 58. Despite missing four of ten games, linebacker Willie Chealey ranked fourth on the hit chart with 53 tackles while middle guard Sean Henderson rounded out the top five with 48. Forced to face some of the finest NCAA II quarterbacks in the nation, Edinboro’s secondary improved with each testing and finished the year with 22 interceptions, the second highest total in Edinboro’s grid history. Cornerback Martelle Betters picked off seven enemy tosses to rank fourth in the country while teammate Ray Bracy, an NCAA All-American Honor­ able Mention winner, was just one off the pace with six aerial thefts. The entire secondary will return intact with hard tackling Terrell Clifford (41) and Matt Robinson (34) joining Bracy and Betters once again. The Fighting Scots return a nucleus of talented veterans, some outstanding junior college hopefuls who will offset some immediate needs and a crop of promising frosh recruits to face one of the most challenging schedules the Scots have played since 1970.

The East vs. West conference championship game, known as the “State Game,” has been in existence since 1960. Mythical champions were picked by sportswriters from 1934 until 1950 with the champion determined by the Saylor system from 1951 until 1959. All members of the conference (with individual sports excep­ tions) compete at the NCAA Division II level and have since 1980. Athletes and teams have won numerous honors in national competi­ tions over the years and have helped the PSAC become one of the most respected “small college” conferences in the nation. A list of member schools with their football affiliation includes: Eastern Division — Bloomsburg University, Cheyney University, East Stroudsburg University, Kutztown University, Mansfield Uni­ versity, Millersville University, West Chester University; Western Division — California University, Clarion University, Edinboro Uni­ versity, Indiana University, Lock Haven University, Shippensburg University, Slippery Rock University. 1959 - West Chester 1958 - California 1957 - Lock Haven 1956 - West Chester 1955 - Bloomsburg 1954 - Bloomsburg, West Chester, and E.
