GOOD TIME. GREAT taste: (V\ ■McDonald's I ■ I® 120 PLUM STREET, EDINBORO ©1988 McDonald’s Corporation 2 The Kutz­ town secondary is anchored by cornerbacks Shawn Jones (12 tackles, 3 passes broken up) and Brett Cooper (16 stops, 2 interceptions). In three games, the Bear defense is surrender­ ing 189.3 yards per game on the ground and 186.0 ypg by way of the air. Calling the signals for the Bears will be quarterbacks Fred Seifert and Andy Breault. Seifert has completed 53 of 90 All-American RB Elbert Cole passes for 494 yards, 2 TDs and 4 interceptions this season, while Breault has con­ nected on 14 of 26 for 126 yards and a pair of scores. The quarterbacks' main receivers include tight end Dave Cullen and running backs Mark Steinmeyer and Joe Svede. Cullen has latched on to 17 passes for 144 yards and 1 touchdown while the running back duo of Steinmeyer and Svede have combined for 35 catches for 298 yards and 2 scores. Steinmeyer (40 carries, 143 yards, 2 TDs) and Svede (49, 191) also anchor the Bear running attack. The Kutztown offense averages 90 yards per game rushing and 206 ypg in the air. Leading the Edinboro defense is All-American free safety Michael Willis and linebackers John Williams, Michael Wayne and A1 Donahue. Willis leads the squad with 26 tack­ les and the trio of linebackers follows with 25,24 and 20 tack­ les respectively. Williams leads the squad with two interceptions. Up front the Scots have been very solid, led by tack­ les Matt Miller and Chip Conrad and ends Jeff Jacobs and Brian Keaton. Miller has totaled 16 stops on the year and leads the team with four tackles for loss and three quarterback sacks. Conrad, continuing to get the double-team block, has been credited with six stops on the year, including a pair of sacks against lUP. Jacobs (14 tackles, 1 sack) and Keaton (11 stops, 1 sack) continue to anchor the end spots. Joining Willis in the Scot final line of defense will be strong safety Mark Anderson (18 stops, 1 for loss) and comerbacks Wade Smith (17 stops, 1 INT) and Georj Lewis (10 tackles, 2 breakups). The Scot kicking chores will once again be handled by locals Darren Weber (McDowell High School) and Bill Burford (Harborcreek). Weber has connected on 10 of 12 extra points on the year while Burford has averaged 35.4 yards per punt on 13 kicks. Next up for the Scots will be a trip to Clarion on October 7 followed by a return home to battle Lock Haven on the 14th. In Edinboro’s first big test of 1989, the Fighting Scots passed with flying colors. But it doesn’t get any easier in the rugged Pennsylva­ nia State Athletic Conference as the Scots face another tough challenge from Kutztown University. Kickoff is set for 2:00 in the Homecoming contest sponsored by Walker Brothers Buick-Chevrolet. The Scots are set to battle nemesis Kutztown with last year's 34-22 loss fresh in their memories. "My concern this week is keeping this team 'locked in' mentally," said head coach Tom Hollman. "Our season is far from over, but the win over lUP puts us in the driver's The Bears (1-2 overall and 1-0 in the PS AC East) lost six straight to end the '88 season and opened '89 with con­ secutive losses to Lafayette (44-14) and Shippensburg (18-7) before a 24-20 win over Bloomsburg last week. The Scots, 2-1 (1-0 PSAC West), enter the non-divisional matchup coming off one of the biggest wins in Edinboro football history. They opened '89 with a 51-27 loss at Liberty before rebounding for consecutive wins over two Division II powers in New Haven (46-13) and lUP (37-0). Once again, the Scots will look for offensive leader­ ship from their potent one-two punch of tailback Elbert Cole and quarterback Hal Galupi. Cole, a returning Associated Press All-American was named PSAC West "Player of the Week" for his efforts against lUP (136 yards and 3 touchdowns). On the year, he has gained 392 yards on 63 attempts (6.2 yards per carry) and six touch­ downs. He is also the teams' leading receiver with 12 catches for 76 yards. For his career. Cole has rushed for 2,226 yards on 467 carries and 24 touchdowns in 31 games to date. He has also caught 73 passes for 729 markers and 5 scores. Combined with his career mark of 130 yards returning punts, the Rochester, New York, native has accumulated 3,085 all-pur­ pose yards for the Plaid. For the year, Galupi has completed 34 of 67 passes for 448 yards with 4 touchdowns and 4 interceptions. The junior quarterback totals 158.7 yards per game total offense. Joining Galupi and Cole in the Scot backfield will likely be the fullback tandem of Matt Koehle (11 carries, 38 yards) and Steve Clare (17,42,1 TD). Galupi's main receiving weapon continues to be wide out Ernest Priester. The Scot junior has caught 10 passes for 240 yards and 4 scores. Wrentie Martin (4 catches, 42 yards) and tight end Randy Mcllwain (2,22) round out the receivers for Edinboro. Clearing the way up front will be center Dave Pinkerton, guards Joe Brooks and John Dickman and tackles Ron Hainsey and Wally Spisak. The five have fueled the Scot offense to an average of 395 yards per game with 241 ypg coming on the ground and 154 trough the air. Leading the Bears will be linebackers Nick Pergine and Tim Clancy. Pergine leads Kutztown with 51 tackles in '89, including six for loss. He turned in a giant effort against Bloomsburg last week, with 21 tackles in their four point win. Clancy is not far behind in total stops, credited with 42 tackles in the Bears' first three games. Up front defensively, the Bears are led by tackles Scott Agnew (15 tackles, 3 sacks) and Angelo Marrello (17 stops) and end Peter Merkel. Merkel has contributed 18 tack­ les and recovered two fumbles.

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 now makes contributions 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 intern­ ships 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 the distinction of being the second nor­ mal school established in Pennsylvania and the 12th in the United States. It has grown to more than forty buildings including the 400,000 volume Baron-Fomess Library, a mod­ em seven-story stmcture which serves as a focal point for the spacious campus. More than 7,500 students representing almost every county in the Commonwealth, as well as numer­ ous states and foreign countries attend Edinboro. Its tradition of educational service and research is matched by a distin­ guished faculty, more than two-thirds of whom have earned doctoral degrees. Edinboro has initiated the University Honors Program to provide challenging and enriched learning experi­ ences for academically gifted students. Undergraduate stu­ dents 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. The University now offers more than 100 undergrad­ uate, 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. Students are admitted to the University in September or January and are considered for admission on the basis of their general scholarship, nature of secondary program, and SAT or ACT scores. Although the costs for attending Edinboro rank among the lowest in the Commonwealth, over $14,000,000 in financial aid is available annually to eligible students. 5 PRESIDENT FOSTER F. DIEBOLD The Alumni Association of Edinboro University of Penn­ sylvania is proud of the Uni­ versity's continued excel­ lence in academics, sports, and special programs, and proud to support the 1989 football season. / V Go Fighting Scots! Since his appointment as president of Edinboro University of Pennsylvania on August 1, 1979, Foster F. Diebold has initiated a wide variety of policies and programs designed to complement his desire for an increased level of excellence and quality in higher education. Colleges and Universities' Committee on Governance, President Diebold has emerged as a national and international figure in the world of higher education. His special fields of interest are ethics in education and intemationd programs. As chairman of the National Committee on Governance, he pre­ sented a statement of ethics to the American Association of State Colleges and Universities in November 1988. The state­ ment, "Ethical Practices for College Presidents," was unani­ mously adopted at the annual meeting of AASCU and has been published and circulated as a policy statement by that organization. It should be noted that this code of ethics is the first ever to be officially adopted by a professional organiza­ tion and directed to the performance of college and university presidents. 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 ethical issues in higher education, higher education management, budget development and fiscal control, legislative affairs, per­ sonnel management and collective bargaining, and interna­ tional education. A native of Orange, New Jersey, President Diebold served as president of the University of Alaska from 1977 to 1979. Prior to that, he was executive secretary to the Board of Regents and special assistant to the president of the University of Alaska Statewide System. From 1969 to 1976, he was director of the Division of College Development and Planning at Kean College in New Jersey; and from 1965 to 1969, he was assistant superintendent of the Neptune Township Public Schools in New Jersey. President Diebold also serves as chairperson of the Advancement Committee of the Chancellor's Executive Council (State System of Higher Education). He is a member of the Western Pennsylvania Education Council and the International Association of University Presidents. Active in the community, the President, among other activities, serves on the Board of Directors of the United Way of Erie County, the Board of Corporators of the St. Vincent Foundation for Health and Human Services, and the Advisory Board of the McMannis Educational Trust Fund. President Diebold is also a member of the Hamot Medical Center Board of Corporators, the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Corporation Scholarship Review Committee, and the Marine Bank Advisory Board. A graduate of Monmouth College, President Diebold holds a bachelor of science in education and a master of arts in educational administration from Seton Hall University. He has met course requirements for his doctorate in education at Rutgers University and is currently enrolled in the Ph.D. pro­ gram in higher education at the University of Pittsburgh. President Diebold resides in Edinboro with his wife, Patricia, and daughters, Jessica and Stacey. As chairman of the American Association of State 7 ATHLETIC DIRECTOR JIM McDONALD vs. the Buffalo Bills annual rookie scrimmage, which has been a yearly mid-summer highlight BUICK The personable athletic director also introduced Edinboro's Hall of Fame program which has evolved into an annual year-ending event to honor present and past athletes. BUICK LKER BROS— McDonald has been at Edinboro since 1962 and for 12 years served as the Fighting Scot basketball coach (19621975) 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 Conference crowns, the PC state championship and two District 18 titles that netted trips to the NAIA National Tournament His teams set 27 University records and made 19 post-season appearances while four of his players were named All-Americans. CHEVROLET Prior to accepting his position at Edinboro, McDonald served as assistant basketball coach in Erie, Pa. He is a 1956 paduate of Bridgeport High School in his home town of Bridgeport, West Virginia. Thank you, Bdinboro University Walker Bros. Buick-Chevrolet has been in the automobile business in Edinboro since 1916 making us one of the oldest dealers in the country. However, we are mere youngsters compared to Edinboro University. Thru the decades our families have watched the school grow and mature into today's University. Not by acci­ dent, we have seen the town of Edinboro grow and mature at the same time, with much of that growth being former Edinboro students who stayed and made homes here after graduating. For this we say, "thank you, Edinboro University." Edinboro University offers much more to the region than a fine education at a reasonable price. Almost daily there is either a cultural or athletic event right here in our own bacl^ard providing great enter­ tainment. Besides the entertainment, many of us use the physical facilities of the University. For this we say, "thank you, Edinboro University." Finally, for those of us in business in the Edinboro area the University provides a great economic ben­ efit. Loyal patronage from University employees, students and all the spinoff employment created by the Uni­ versity is what makes us able to be a major sponsor of Edinboro athletics and today's Homecoming game. For all of this we say, "thank you, Edinboro University." ^ l« > Sincerely, Richard H. Walker Fdchard A. Walker Craig D. Walker Randy J. Walker and all of our employees In 1960 he received a degree in chemistry and physi­ cal education from West Virginia Wesleyan College and he also holds a master's degree in health from the University of Buffalo. 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. 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, Missouri. He was named to the NAIA's AllTournament Team in 1959 and 1960. Through his efforts more than $3 million has been raised during the past seven 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 fifteen intercollegiate sports. In 1966, McDonald was selected Area Eight Coach of the Year by the eastern seaboard coaches 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 membership 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. "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 his classroom and basketball coaching duties, McDonald was Edinboro's golf coach for 17 years dur­ ing which his teams won over 40 tournaments and finished as high as third place at the NCAA Division II National Tournament. In addition to maintaining Edinboro's respected win­ ning tradition in intercollegiate athletics, the former health and physical education professor has vastly expanded the University's summer activities. 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. Fifty-two camps were sponsored by the Fighting Scots Booster Club this past summer on the University's cam­ pus.

Koehle and Clare return to solidify the fullback spot. Both freshmen a year ago, the twosome combined for 395 yards and three touchdowns on 96 carries. Running back Chris Conway will also return to give support to Cole and the Scot offense. The receiving corps could be the biggest question mark for the Scots this fall. Gone are All-Conference perform­ ers John Toomer and Cleveland Pratt. Between the two, they caught 73 passes for 1,225 and nine TDs last season. The Plaid will be without a proven deep threat to open camp and will be looking to a number of roster players to fill the void. Ernest Priester, one of the squad's top performers in 1986 and 87, is expected in camp this August after missing last season. He led the Scot receivers in receptions (35) in '86 and in touchdowns (4) in '87. If the Edinboro University Fighting Scot football team can make the same strides in 1989 that they made last season, their goal of the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference championship is very realistic. The Scots came within a victory of a share of the Western Division crown a year ago, posting a 4-1-1 slate in the west for a third place showing. Edinboro finished one half game behind Shippensburg and Indiana. Their overall mark of 5-4-1 in '88 was a major turnaround from their sub .500 season in 1987. First-year head coach Tom Hollman became just the second coach in Edinboro's football history to post a winning record in his ini­ tial season. "Expectations, coaches all have high hopes at the beginning of the season. As a team, you have to set goals, realistic goals, and try to achieve them," Hollman stated. "We felt we had enough talent a year ago to contend and we made a run at it. But we did not win the championship, just came close. Hopefully the momentum and the hunger for the title will be back this fall." "Sure, I was happy with the progress in my first sea­ son but we have to keep making positive strides. We return plenty of veteran players to keep us in the proper frame of mind." Edinboro opens its season against a NCAA Division I-AA opponent and concludes with one as well. On the 9th of September the Scots will once again travel to Lynchburg, Va., to battle Liberty University. The Flames are under the direction of former Cleveland Brown head coach Sam Rutigliano. The following week, the Scots open their home slate against New Haven. On the 23rd the Indians of lUP will enter Sox Harrison Stadium for the PSAC West opener. It will mark the second consecutive year that the Scots will tangle with lUP in their divisional opener. The 30th of the month will have Edinboro playing its third straight game on home turf, enter­ taining the Bears of Kutztown on Homecoming. On October 7th a trip to Clarion is on tap for the Scots followed by Lock Haven back home on the 14th. The remaining four weeks of the regular season will be a rugged test for Hollman's clan, as the Scots play three of four contests on the road. A trip across Pennsylvania to Shippensburg greets the Scots on the 21st, followed by senior day at Sox Harrison against California on the 28th. In week number nine the Scots conclude their Western Division slate on the 4th at Slippery Rock before closing out their season at Youngstown State on the 11th. 1989 will mark the first time that Edinboro has played two Division I-AA opponents in one season. OFFENSIVE LINE The strength of the Scot offense could be a veteran offensive front. All-Conference picks Ron Hainsey (OT) and Joe Brooks (OG) return for their senior year, as does two-year starter Dean Gallagher. Guard Brad Powell and tackle Curtis Rose also return as does backup center Dave Pinkerton and tight end Randy Mcllwain. The returning seven average 6-3, 245 pounds. A pair of freshmen, Jeff Zilko and Mike Kegarise gives the team depth here. PLACEKICKING The Scots return All-Conference placekicker Darren Weber. A second-team selection in '88, Weber has connected on 14-of-29 field goals and 47-of-52 extra points in his first two seasons with the Scots. His 52-yard field goal against lUP as a freshman in '87 remains the second longest in PSAC his­ tory. Weber has scored a two-year total of 89 points. DEFENSIVE LINE The Scots return nine starters on defense including all of the defensive front All-Conference tackle Chip Conrad heads the returnees. He was credited with 43 tackles, includ­ ing a team high five QB sacks. Jeff Jacobs, a second-team AllPSAC pick at end, also returns coming off a season where he registered 44 tackles. DTs Matt Miller (50 stops, three fumble recoveries) and Mark Jozefov (32 tackles) also return up front. Sophomore John Messura will give the squad depth. Coach Gene Smith is also looking for help from freshman Troy Marin, 6-2,275 lbs., from nearby Meadville High School. OFFENSE: SKILL POSITIONS The offensive backfield returns All-American run­ ning back Elbert Cole, quarterbacks Hal Galupi and Jim Ross and fullbacks Matt Koehle and Steve Clare. Cole, a two-time All-PSAC West selection, led the Scots in rushing (909), TDs (10) and scoring (62 pts.) a year ago. He enters the year with 1,834 career yards on 404 carries. Galupi secured the starting quarterback spot a year ago, and threw for 1,473 yards and ten touchdowns with a 53% completion percentage. Ross remains the school record LINEBACKERS A plethora of great athletes makes the linebacking position very solid for the Scots. Second-team All-Conference middle linebacker Michael Wayne (99 stops, three interceptions), '87 AllConference pick A1 Donahue (83 stops, three fumble recover­ ies) and three-year starter John Williams (198 career tackles) all return. Anthony Ross, a transfer from Central State, Ohio, should press the three for a starting spot 11 SCOUTING THE SCOTS Name: Edinboro University of Pennsylvania (1857) Head Coach: Tom Holbnan (Ohio Northern, 1968) Location; Edinboro, Pa. 16444 Seasons, Overall Record: 1,5-4-1 President: Foster F.

Three years later Hollman received his master of science degree in education from Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio. While at Ohio Northern, Hollman was a three-year starter for the football team and a two-way performer as a defensive back and offensive end during his junior and senior years. He holds the school record with 13 career interceptions and earned All-American and All-District honors during the 1966 and 1967 seasons. Hollman also lettered in baseball for three years during his stay at Ohio Northern. A chronological look at Hollman's coaching career begins in 1968 as an assistant coach at Sidney High School in Sidney, Ohio. From there, Hollman moved on td Greenville High School in Ohio where he became head coach from 197173. His Greenville squads posted an impressive 26-2-2 mark during his three-year stay.

Fremont was the Buckeye Conference champs in 74, unbeaten at 9-0-1. FULL SERUICE SUPERMARKET In January 1988, Edinboro University hired Tom Hollman, Athens, Ohio, as its eleventh head football coach in the school's history. Hollman comes to Edinboro from Ohio University, where he was the defensive coordinator for the past three seasons. In '76, Hollman moved on to the collegiate ranks where he was the defensive coordinator for his alma mater at Ohio Northern University. Groceries Meat Dept. Produce Dept. Deli Dept. "Last season was a very exciting one and we are siniply looking to improve each year," Hollman stated after his initial term. Hollman led the Scots to a 5-4-1 mark, becoming only the second head coach in Edinboro football history to post a winning season his first year. "As a staff and team we are looking forward to an excellent season. We finished just a half game out of the divi­ sion crown last year so that should give us the extra incentive we need in 1989." The Scots finished 4-1-1 in the PSAC West, finishing in third place, just one half game behind Shippensburg and lUP. The Plaid defeated Shipp 19-10 during their ten-game slate last year. The following year, Hollman accepted the head coach position at Wooster College (OH) and guided his squad to the best four-year record in the school's history (24-11-1).

Wien double-team blocking for die run, a “post” man (left) fires straight out at die opposing lineman, while a “drive” man (right) moves over to act as a moving wall, pushing the defender away from the point of adack. TOUCHDOWN ILLUSTRATED 18 t is said that two heads are better than one. And at certain times during a football game, two bodies are better than one. Double-teaming, as the prac­ tice of using players working in tan­ dem is known, has a place in every coach's playbook. On offense it can enhance the line's effectiveness in putting up a wall for pass protection or plowing open a hole for the run. On defense it can blanket the most dangerous of wide receivers. In both cases it is a not-so-simple matter of getting two players to work together in perfect harmo­ ny against one member of the opposition. Double-teams used on the offensive line vary according to thfe type of play being run. The personnel and responsibilities involved in pass blocking are very differ­ ent from those involved in run blocking. And there can be other variations, depend­ ing on the defensive front. "It's not always a case of singling out the opposing team's best defensive line­ man and double-teaming him," said Mike Maser, offensive line coach at Boston College. "Line play involves a lot of dif­ ferent angles and intersections, where you try to confuse the defense as much as you possibly can with movement and then cre­ ate the scheme within a five-man situation. And double-teaming is usually part of the scheme. In fact, nine times out of 10, we won't worry about double-teaming one certain individual—unless we feel he's a really great player." H Let's start with drop-back pass protecw tion. When an offensive line comes up against an odd (or three-man) defensive front, the center is face mask-to-face mask DOUBLE TROUBLE Double-teaming is a normal part of an offensive line's blocking scheme, but is sometimes used to control a dominating defensive player. On the other side of the ball, a double-team can shut down a dangerous receiver. with a noseguard, while each tackle usual­ ly has an end coming his way at an ^gle. Therefore, the moment the ball is snapped, the noseguard is the shortest distance from the quarterback. So in an effort to give the quarterback the deepest possible pocket in which he can step up and throw, Ae center and a designated guard will double-team the nose man. It works like this. After the ball is snapped, the center pops up and tries to get square with the noseguard, establishing a first line of stoppage. The offensive guard who is part of the double-team acts like a shadow. He gets behind the center but stays off to his left or right, according to his normal position. He shouldn't be directly behind the center because if the initial block is missed the defender can simply go around both of them. By staying off to the left or right the offensive guard can either force the noseguard to work in the opp>osite direction to try to avoid tan­ gling with two blockers, or move freely to the other side should the nose man beat the center there. The execution doesn't always go like clockwork. "They can trip over each other and fall, and the noseguard comes free," Maser said. "Or they can attack too soon. The worst thing you can have is a guard who really wants a piece of the nose man—so much that he comes down real hard. TOUCHDOWN ILLUSTRATED knocks the center off the block and the guy pops out between them like a water­ melon seed when you squeeze it between your finger tips." When an offensive line faces an even (or four-man) front, the center has no one in front of him and is free to help one of the guards block the defensive tackle lined up across from him. Which guard he helps depends on the direction in which the quarterback intends to throw. The center will usually add protection to the quarter­ back's blind side and work with the guard, much the same way the guard works with him in double-teaming the noseguard. The basic idea in double-team blocking for the run is to attack a certain area— over center, guard or tackle. Where and when the attacks are waged are left to the discretion of the coach in his game-plan preparation, although power-rushing teams tend to do much more double-team blocking than teams that aren't as bold with their running game. The center can work with either guard or vice versa, the guards can work with the tackles on their side or vice versa, and the tight end can help the tackle on his side. With every double-team in run blocking there is a "post" man and a "drive" man (each varies according to the offensive lineman involved in the double-team). The post man is lined up across from the defensive lineman who is going to be dou­ ble-teamed. The drive man is lined up out­ side or inside the post man, with no down lineman over him. On the snap the post man fires out of his stance and tries to stop the defender's charge at the line of scrim­ mage. The driye 'man then shuffles over until his hip twches against the near hip of the post man, so the two form a kind of extra-wide blocker and are able to push the defender back or away from the point of attack. Double-team pass coverage involves primarily a cornerback and a safety, although there are times when linebackers can be included. It is a blatant attempt to take away a specific receiver or combina­ tion of receivers from an opponent. When it is used it is based on tendencies discov­ ered through scouting—the favorite receiver(s) a team will throw to in a cer­ tain down-and-distance situation or, per­ haps, in a particular part of the field. "When you've got double coverage on a receiver, in theory he can't catch the pass," said Jim Lambright, assistant head coach and defensive coordinator at the University of Washington.

The coach was one of the more outspoken opponents of Proposition 42, which tightens certain academic requirements already put in place by its more comprehensive fore­ runner, Proposition 48. While the controversy still rages, hundreds of academic advisors at Division I-A and I-AA universities continue the balancing routine that is more than editorial-page rhetoric: It's their job. These professionals are charged with making sure that the stu­ dent-athlete is both student and athlete. It's a job that requires the T /^.^AGUARDJaiK & Filter® GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION IHEV Doni JUST HT. THEV mmiH. advisor to serve as a mediator, an enforcer, a counselor and, at times, a mother hen. "The academic advisor needs to understand the athletic, legal and administrative portions of this busi­ ness," said Theophilus Gregory, assis^nt athletic director in charge of academic affairs and compliance at the University of Colorado. "But mainly you have to be an educator, because the ideal should be one of an educated person-^not just an academically eligible person— winning football games." This is a long way from how the role of the academic advisor was viewed just 10 years ago. In fact, few schools had full-time advisors in the 1970s. At that time the job was generally filled by a part-time coach or a grad­ uate assistant. But in the late '70s and the early '80s there was a GAME PLAN Academic advisors use a'prevent defense'fa help athletes succeed in the classroom.

They help now it's expected. They're told, 'What's TOUCHDOWN ILLUSTRATED wrong with you?"' When a student runs into trouble, the advisor contacts the student's professors to determine the nature and the extent of the problem. Said Davidson, "Lots of profes­ sors will call us before we call them and say, 'So-and-so made an "F" on the first test, and he needs to see a tutor.'" The advi­ sor can then alert the coach to the problem and schedule more tutoring and study hours. Students are also referred to other support personnel on campus—for coun­ seling or career planning, or for help with study and time-management techniques. Whether these efforts are successful depends mainly on the student—it is ulti­ mately his or her responsibility. But a major role is also played by tfie coach, according to Bradley. "No academic advi­ sor can do anything with a kjd unless the coach expects it," he said. '^If the coach says, 'You're going to do it or you're not playing today,' it's going to happen." Bradley speaks highly of Kentucky football coach Jerry Claiborne's stance on academics. "We had a kid who was the number one offensive lineman out of high school. He came in for Jerry, and he thought all he had to do was play football. But Coach Claiborne let him go. He went to another school, and now he's playing pro ball," Bradley said. "He was 6-7, 232 pounds as a sophomore, but Coach Claiborne said, 'If you don't want to go to class and take care of yourself, you don't belong here.' After that, the rest of the team fell right in line. They thought, 'Hey, if they let him go....'" Bradley acknowledges that not all teams work that w^y*, but he hopes that in the future mor^ coaches will realize they are involved. "Academics is a coach's job," he insisted. "I guarantee that the coach tells [a recruit's] parents that he'll do everything he can to help the kid graduate. I think he has a responsibility to do that." Even so, the coach has to think about what's best for the team or for the individu­ al as an athlete, just as every professor has the right to expect the individual to get the most from his or her experience in the classroom. It's up to the advisor to try to balance those demands—and it's a difficult balance. Often, Bradley explained, "You're trying to do what's best for the kid and you're making the coach and the professor mad. The faculty says, 'You're just trying to keep the kid eligible,' and the coach says, 'You do everything the faculty wants.'" Bradley said that academic eligibility is what's best for the student. "If the kid's ineligible, he's going to leave school, and Every football fan knows that the score doesn't always give a good picture of a game. A few statistics, like those that can be kept on this page can make the picture clearer, show what the individual stars coiitribute and help to win post-game "debates." Besides, it can be fun to second guess the official scorers whose statistics will appear in tomorrow's papers. But before you start, here are some pointers on being a statistician: 1. Keep cumulative totals to be informed "up to the minute" and to simplify your figuring of team totals. Example: Jones gaines 3,6,9,2 yards and you write 3. 9,18,20 on his line. 2. On plays involving penalties measured from the point of the foui, credit the rusher or pass receiver with yardage only to the point of the infraction. 3. Charge gains and losses on fumbles to the player who, in your judgment, contributed most to the error. 4. Don't score two-point conversion attempts after touchdowns as rushing or passing plays.

WHAFS ALL THE CONTROVERSY ABOUT? rying to find a happy medium be­ tween academics and athletics concerns not only the individual student-athlete but university adminis­ trators, faculty and coaches, as well. That's why the NCAA membership passed Proposition 48 in 1983. There was widespread concern that many college freshman athletes were unprepared to handle the rigors of both higher education and athletics. Prop 48 requires that all Division I scholarship athletes must have graduat­ ed from high school, recorded a grade of "C" or better in 11 core classes, and scored a minimum of 700 on the SAT or 15 on the ACT college entrance exam. If a student is a high school graduate but fails to meet the core-curriculum requirement and record the minimum SAT or ACT test score, that student X becomes a nonqualifier and may not practice, play or receive athletically relat­ ed financial aid during his or her first year in college. Further, a nonqualifier has only three years of athletic eligibility. A student who fails to satisfy the core-curriculum requirement and/or the minimum test score but has a 2.0 overall high school GPA (the equivalent of a "C" average) is considered a partial qualifier. He or she is eligible for athlet­ ically related financial aid, but may not practice or play during the first college year and has only three years of eligibil­ ity thereafter. A student-athlete who fails to meet the Prop 48 standards must successfully complete 24 units (two full semesters of course work) for sophomore eligibility, Proposition 42, passed at the 19^ NCAA Convention and due to become effective in 1990, modifies Prop 48 by eliminating the category of partial qual­ ifier, thus ruling out athletically related financial aid for such a student. T The bottom line of the Prop 48 and 42 leg­ islation is to improve the academic caliber of student-athletes. "We're talking about preparation," said Charles Whitcomb, a faculty representative and chairman of the Department of Recreation and Leisure Studies at San Jose State University. "Is the student ready to accept the challenge of the university? We're an academic institution, not just an athletic institution." The debate arises over whether the end justifies the means. Temple University basketball coach John Chaney, a leading opponent of the legislation, is distressed over the use of SAT scores as a measurement of aca­ demic ability and the repeal of athletic financial aid to partial qualifiers. Many feel that test scores, such as those from the SAT, are not a good mea­ surement of academic skills and are especially unfair to minorities because cultural differences affect language, speaking and writing patterns. "The importance of sports is that it gives a youngster a vehicle," Chaney said. "It's no different than if you're a musician, an actor or a scholar. Any talent a young person has, he should be able to use as a means of getting a degree." Steve Sloan, University of Alabama athletic director, supports the legisla­ tion. "We felt [42] was an added process from Proposition 48 and it would elimi­ nate the partial qualifier," Sloan said. "Forty-eight was set up to set minimum requirements so universities would be getting better student-athletes from an academic standpoint. It was implement­ ed to send a message to high schools to educate athletes properly and advise them on taking proper courses." —Larry Gray tribute to the world of work?" Dandre DeSandies, Ph.D., an academic advisor at Stanford University, under­ scores that point. "We've got to educate people for life beyond football, life beyond tennis," said DeSandies. "The uni­ versity's responsibility is to educate. It's not just entertainment." But the student has a responsibility as well. "You can't pin all your hopes on one dream," he cau­ tioned. "Academic advisors are the hedge against that bet." Are academic advisors improving the odds for athletes? Although there are no overall statistics that analyze graduation rates during the last 10 years, on a caseby-case basis there is some reason for optimism. At Colorado, Gregory sees defi­ nite benefit in the intensive management program for the five to 10 percent of ath­ letes who, he said, "are blowing it." With the help of advisors and tutors, 90 to 95 percent of these problem cases will make it, said Gregory, although there will always be one or two who won't. Davidson at Clemson and Bradley at Kentucky paint similar pictures. On an individual level, every academic advisor can tell stories of students they went to bat for, or pushed a little harder, who went on to graduate and get good jobs. Bradley tells of an athlete with whom he worked particularly hard. "He wore me out," Bradley said. "But he graduated with a degree in business and now he's a regional sales manager for Xerox." These successes are the payoff for advisors' end­ less hours of reasoning, cajoling, negotiat­ ing, counseling 4nd trouble-shooting. While it,4s unreasonable to expect a major change in the percentage of athletes who graduate—just as there will continue to be a large number of nonathletes who fail to graduate—college athletes of the future may well be better educated. Ian Davidson feels that policy changes, including Proposition 48, are resulting in better-prepared student-athletes. Said Bradley, "The general awareness has helped. Coaches, kids and parents are more aware of what they have to do aca­ demically. Schools are hiring people to be on kids' backs, and it's going to get through to them." «■* then you don't have him to work with any­ more." And he added, "Kids stay eligible when they're working toward a degree." Unfortunately, academic eligibility doesn't always guarantee that an athlete is learn­ ing, just as graduation doesn't always indi­ TOUCHDOWN ILLUSTRATED Next TimelbuTrave] TBke Along A Little Peace Of Mind.

Steve Walsh, poised as ever, proceeded to pepper the Wolverine defense with 18 consecutive passes, completing 11. More important, two of them were for touchdowns, making the score 30-28 with just under three minutes to play. Miami then turned to the toe of placekicker Carlos Huerta, who had played in only one other college game. After recov­ ering Huerta's onside kick, Miami worked its way to the Michigan 13. With 43 seconds on the clock, Huerta's 29-yard field goal put Miami on top, 31-30, and allowed the Hurricanes to retain their No. 1 ranking. There was nothing so lofty as No. 1 at stake when Washington State played Stanford at The Farm in October 1984. Both teams were 3-4 and playing for pride, totally unsuspecting of the wild afternoon ahead. Through two and a half quarters Stanford could do no wrong. Kevin Scott's running and two blocked punts helped The Cardinal to leads of 35-7 and 42-14. Then all heck broke loose. Led by running back Reuben Mayes and quarterback Mark Rypien, WSU scored 28 points in less than eight minutes. Mayes ran five and 39 yards for touchdowns and Rypien threw for two touchdowns, one of them a 53-yard scoring flare to Mayes. A wide-eyed Stanford crowd stared at their scoreboard, once such a comforting sight but now clearly out of control: 42-21, 4228,42-35 and then 42-42. The coup de grace came with 5:35 left in the game, when Mayes scored from 22 yards out, racking up his fifth touchdown of the day. Stanford, battered and con­ fused, scrambled back for one last drive. But it died on the WSU six-yard line. With eight seconds left the Cougars ate the ball and celebrated their 49-42 resurrection. R wide-eyed; Stanford crowd stored at their scoreboard, once such a comforting sight but now clearly out of control. Four years later Washington State made the most of a rare turn in the national spot­ light to stage another unlikely comeback. Its victim this time was definitely high- . rent. The Bruins of UCLA had risen to the top of the national collegiate rankings with a 7-0 record to open the 1988 season. They were hot on the trail of their first championship since 1954, when they shared thei^^nly title with Ohio State. As ABC's colfege game of the week, UCLA vs. WSU figured to be little more than a showcase for the talents of Bruin quarter­ back Troy Aikman and Coach Terry Donahue's potent offense. So it was, through the first half, as the Bruins ran and passed at will, building up a 20-6 lead. UCLA made the score 27-6 on its first possession of the third quarter after a typically efficient 71-yard drive engineered by Aikman. The Bruins were cruising, anxious to be home and dry. The alumni were planning their parties. However, they did not reckon with the tenacity of WSU quarterback Timm Rosenbach, who entered the game as the top-rated college passer in the nation. On consecutive possessions in the third quar­ ter, Rosenbach threw for touchdowns of 15 and 81 yards and tailback Rich Swinton scored from six yards, while the Aikman offense sputtered and gasped.

UCLA never really recovered. They nudged ahead on a field goal to lead 30-27 with 11:39 remaining. But the Cougars, full of confidence, answered with a timedevouring scoring drive that featured 13 straight running plays and a pair of gener­ ous UCLA personal fouls. With the score 34-30, Aikman took the Bruins to the WSU six-yard line, at which point he had four downs and 44 seconds to put things right. Alas, four straight passes fell incomplete and the Washington State comeback was history. Two days later the Bruins plummeted to No. 6 in the polls. Bowl games regularly provide a stage for unforgettable comebacks. The 1979 Cotton Bowl, pitting'Houston and Notre Dame, marked Joe Montana's final game for the Fighting Irish. It was also his most dramatic. Conditions were miserable. Gale-force winds knifed through the players. Temperatures fell into the low 20s. Montana, his body wracked with chills from the flu, took advantage of a strong tailwind in the first quarter to put 12 unan­ swered points on the board. It was 12-7 when Houston got the wind, and 34-12 when they gave it back after a 27-0 blitz in the second and third quarters. Meanwhile, Montana had spent most of the third quarter in the locker room, shiv­ ering and aching. The Irish had all but given up ... and then Montana returned. With less than eight minutes to play, the Irish were down, 34-14, but not out. Notre Dame's Steve Cichy ran back a blocked punt 33 yards for a touchdown. Three min­ utes later Montana capped a drive with a two-yard TD run and added a two-point conversion on a pass to Kris Haines to cut the margin to 34-28. The final minute of play will live in infamy at Houston for it not only cost a victory but produced extensive secondguessing by Houston coach Bill Yeoman. Slightly more than 40 seconds remained when Houston was forced to punt, but the Irish were offsides after the punt traveled only to midfield against the stiff wind. Yeoman decided to take the penalty to move the ball within two feet of a first down. Now, instead of punting again, he chose to go for the first. What happened is history. Emmett King was stopped short. Notre Dame took over at the UH 29 with 28 seconds left and no timeouts remaining. Montana scrambled for 11 yards out of bounds to the 18. Eleven seconds remained. On the next play he passed 10 yards to the UH six. Six seconds left. Montana passed incomplete to Haines. With time running out, Montana zipped a pass to Haines, TOUCHDOWN ILLUSTRATED who made the catch in the corner of the end zone. The clock showed 00:00 and only a few dazed and frozen fans were left in the Cotton Bowl when Notre Dame backup kicker Joe Unis came on for the PAT. It was good, but the Irish were flagged for illegal procedure. Unis kept his cool and split the sticks again. The Irish won, 3534, and celebrated with hot showers. The weather was kinder in San Diego for that 19(80 Holiday Bowl between Brigham Voung University and Southern Methodist. But the drama was every bit as intense as in "The Montana Cotton Bowl." The daunting BYU offense was led by junior quarterback Jim McMahon, the brash anti-hero whose audacity off the field was matched only by his flamboy­ ance between the lines. BYU entered the game 11-0, and they were determined to make SMU victim No. 12. But the Mustangs had other ideas. Sparked by running backs Eric Dickerson and Craig James, SMU shot out to a 19-0 lead in the first eight minutes. BYU tried to catch up, but the score was 29-13 at the half. The SMU offense was not through. With just 4:07 left in the game, the Mustangs had taken a commanding 45-25 lead. My friend and his son weren't the only fans who made for the exits.

Following a McMahon TD pass at the end of a sevenplay drive, the Cougars recovered an onside kick. Three plays later tailback Scott Phillips took it in from the one to make the score 45-39. SMU still had the dwindling clock on their side. They ran three plays and lined up to punt, content to bury BYU deep in its own territory as time dribbled away. Enter BYU cornerback Bill Schoepflin, who blocked the punt to give his team the ball on the SMU 41. Football is nondenominational, so it was appropriate that McMahon toss up two Hail Marys with the hope of divine intervention. They were incomplete. With three sec­ onds remaining McMahon lofted one last pass high into the cool Pacific air. Somehow BYU's Clay Brown gathered it in while surrounded by Mustangs, and the score was tied at 45-45. Kurt Gunther added the PAT to complete the comeback in the highest-scoring bowl game ever. Finally, no tale of great comebacks would be complete without a chapter on the nail-biters between those fabled rivals, Notre Dame and USC. The 1931 season was a time of mourn­ ing for the Irish, whose legendary coach, Knute Rockne, had been killed in a plane crash the previous March. Still, when USC came to South Bend that November, Notre Dame was at the peak of its power, unbeaten in its last 26 games. The Irish took a 14-0 lead into the fourth quarter, but after that they could no longer hold the Trojans. Led by quarter­ back Orv Mohler and a phalanx of talented ball handlers, USC scored 16 points in that final quarter to take a 16-14 decision. In 1964 another unbeaten Notre Dame team traveled to Los Angeles for their tra­ ditional showdown in the Coliseum. They were favored by 14 points and considered a sure thing to sweep the Trojans under the rug and claim the national championship in the process. Even USC coach John McKay mischievously admitted that his cause was hopeless. "I've decided that if we play our very best and make no mistakes whatsoever we will definitely make a first down," McKay wryly commented four days before the game. Notre Dame took a 17-0 lead at halftime and appeared to have things comfortably under control. Then, in the second half, the USC attack of Mike Garrett on the ground and Craig Fertig through the air began to pay off. The Trojan offense scored twice, while the defense (aided by a costly Irish holding penalty) kept Notre Dame out of the end zone. Although it was still ahead, Notre Dame seemed frozen in its tracks. With the score at 17-13 and 1:43 left in the game, Fertig hit halfback Rod Sherman with a 15-yard touchdown pass that lifted USC to the lead and the 20-17 victory. No other comeback game, however, can quite measure up to the USC backlash in its 1974 victory over Notre Dame. A Coliseum crowd of 83,552—all but a tiny comer screaming for USC—watched in helpless bewilderment as Notre Dame ran up a 24-0 lead and took a 24-6 advan­ tage into the locker room at the half. The use offense—led by Pat Haden, Anthony Davis and Johnny McKay (the coach's son)—was frustrated at every turn, while the defense was systematically dismantled by Irish quarterback Tom Clements and his crew. Then the roof caved in on Notre Dame. Davis took the opening second-half kickoff 102 yards for a touchdown. TOUCHDOWN ILLUSTRATED A Haden-to-McKay pass set up a sixyard Davis touchdown run on USC's next possession. USC took a 27-24 lead with two pin­ point passes from Haden and a four-yard run on a pitchout to Davis. The rout was on. USC racked up 35 points in that third quarter, the most ever scored on a Notre Dame team in any quar­ ter of play. The Trojans added 14 more in the final quarter to ice a 55-24 dream. It was, perhaps, the most schizophrenic college football game ever played, epito­ mizing the unexpected shifting of fortunes that brings either joy or heartache . . . depending, of course, upon which side of the comeback you sit.

William McKinley was the president of the United States, while in England Queen Victoria was still doddering around Buckingham Palace. Sewanee was, and is, officially known as The University of the South. Its 10,000 acres, abundant in ivy, are up the road a piece from Chattanooga, if one is headed northwest, toward Nashville. Football is still played there. It's not de-emphasized football— just football, by student scholars. The late Shirley Majors, John's dad, coached there with distinc­ tion for many years. The NCAA knows about Sewanee football. It has awarded more of its postgraduate honors to the school than to any other Division III institution in the land. Once upon a time, the Purple Tigers were the perennial football power. While Sewanee is proud of its football tradition, it does not boast of it from rooftops. It wasn't a power by the time the Southeastern Conference was bom in 1933, but Sewanee was a member. It resigned in 1940 with a 0-37 SEC football record. But from 1899 on, for 30-odd seasons, Sewanee wasn't afraid to challenge, anybody. Its memorable team, that 1899 group ignored by history, set a precedent. The five wins in six days came late in a 12-0-0 season. Sewanee archives credit Luke Lea, the big-dreaming team business manager, with assembling the players for 1899 and per­ suading Suter to coach them. Lea, who later became a Nashville newspaper pub­ lisher and a U.S. senator, recmited men— mostly players with college experience— from several states. Quarterback Warbler Wilson had been a second-stringer at South Carolina. Team captain H.G. Seibels of Birmingham, Ala., had been a lineman. Seibels, who was the last surviving member of the team, died in 1969 as a College Football Hall of Famer. Sewanee opened its '99 season by defeating Georgia, 12-0, and Georgia Tech, 32-0, in Atlanta on Oct. 21 and 23. It routed Tennessee, 46-0, and South­ western, 54-0, at home within the next 11 days. It finished the year by spanking Cumberland, 71-0, on Nov. 20 at home; Auburn, 11-10, in Montgomery on Nov. 30; and North Carolina, 5-0, in Atlanta on Dec. 2. The final game should have been called a "bowl." Although it predated the Rose Bowl by only two years, it had all the ele­ ments to qualify as a major postseason game. Sewanee had heard about North Carolina claiming the Dixie champi­ nus waved a fistful of money to fellow sidelining Texans, offering odds that Texas wouldn't score then, or later. Texans covered. Texans lost. One Sewanee version of that gamble claims that most of the winning money represented an investment by Sewanee players. Historians report that following the game the Texans hosted the Sewanee players at a dance. Following a late-night trip to Houston, Sewanee whipped the Texas A«feM Aggies the next afternoon, a Friday. The 400 miles left to New Orleans denied the Tigers a dance in Houston. The players did attend a theater performance (Mi Saturday evening, however, after Tulane had been trounced, 2^0. In the final act ofythe play they attended, "Rupert of Hentzan," the dead hero was in state when Queen Flavia rushed on stage dressed in royal mourning clothes of purple. That was Sewanee's color. The players leaped up and rendered the school yell. Actors and audience were mystified. The dramatic spell was lost, as Texas, Texas A&M and Tulane had. And LSU was to lose in Baton Rouge on Monday, and Ole Miss in Memphis on Tuesday. On Sunday, break day, Sewanee players toured a sugar plantation on a detour to Baton Rouge. They cheered for the purple cane. LSU's color was purple also, and so were their bruises. Qle Miss colors were red and black, and so were their feelings late Tuesday. The 300 miles from Memphis to Sewa­ nee were uneventful for a team headed home. The entire student b(xiy, it is written, met the train. There was a triumphant halfmile parade up the mountain to the campus. The students had rented a hack, which they pulled by rope up the slope with 15-plus celebrities aboard. Six days, five football games, five vic­ tories—and a bid for history. On the seventh day, as Sewanee recorded it, "They rested."

So the Tigers challenged the boast, and settled it by a field goal (which then counted as five points). But "The Trip" was for the ages. Lea promoted that, too. He even talked the school fathers into buying new uniforms for the team—the custom back then had players furnishing their own combat wardrobe and shoes.

But it didn't. It happened Saturday, May 9,1987. "It was a hot spring day," recalled Mays, now a senior running back at Georgia Tech. "We had two spring games that year, and this was the second one. "It was late in the second quarter, and I'd been playing every snap of the whole game. At that particular point I was really tired," he said. "We ran a sweep play to the left, a little toss sweep. I cut up a little crease, and a guy hit me from the right. That made me plant my left leg. My foot caught in the turf and my knee buckled. I heard all these pops. "When it first happened it was really painful. But after I got up it felt better. It felt good, actually. The pain went away. But they had to help me off the field. On the sideline I thought things were going to be OK. Unfortunately, things turned out differently." Five days later Mays had surgery to reconstruct his anterior cruciate ligament. He missed the entire 1987 season. Like many football players who suffer a major injury. Mays fully expected to return to football. And although some doc­ tors advise against playing again, with determination, faith and plain old hard work during rehabilitation, many athletes do, in fact, make it back. This is a story about athletes on the rebound, players who have returned from major injuries to play—and in some cases, even star—again. Take Mays, for example.

"That little statement made me want to go out and do well. That was what drove me, what kept pushing me to do well. "People always look at my size as a dis­ advantage. And on top of that, I had a seri­ ous knee injury. I'm glad I was able to show them otherwise through my actions. My actions spoke for me."

His rushing total was the fourth-best single-season total in Tech history. Mays was also the fifth-leading pass receiver in the ACC last year, making 46 receptions, the most made by a running back in Tech history and the third-best total ever for a Tech player. In all. Mays accounted for 37 percent of Tech's offensive production. For his coura­ geous performance. Mays won the Brian Piccolo Award, which is presented to an ACC football player who demonstrates great courage in overcoming adversity. "After I hurt my knee, all the rumors said that I wouldn't be able to come back, that I wouldn't be able to do it," said Mays, who at one point during his rehabil­ TOUCHDOWN ILLUSTRATED The dedication of Mays and others like him speaks volumes. There's Kurt Larson, a senior outside linebacker at Michigan State last season, who recovered from a knee injury and an Achilles' tendon injury to lead the nation in interceptions, with eight. Defensive tackle Ken Hackemack of Texas came back from surgery on both knees and had 35 tackles and six sacks in five games as a junior last season. Outside linebacker Mike McGrann of Cornell rebounded from an ankle injury and was named defensive captain and a member of the All-Ivy League team as a senior last year. And now he's helping his roommate, Dan Miller, also an outside linebacker, cope in the aftermath of a seri­ ous knee injury. Miller, a senior last sea­ son, may be granted another year of eligibility, but he's not sure if he'll play even if he gets it. But as for perseverance, all of these players take a back seat to tailback Eric Hawkins of San Jose State. Hawkins has been through 11 surgeries—that's right, nearly a dozen—on his left knee. And yet last year, as a senior playing in his only season, he was the third-leading rusher for San Jose State with 152 yards and a 4.9yard average per carry.

FORD MERCURY LINCOLN ON THE REBOUND Cornell's game against Colgate in 1987— ironically, Cornell was playing Colgate when McGrann was hurt in 1986—Miller cut to make a tackle when his right foot stuck on the AstroTurf and he snapped the anterior cruciate ligament and tore some cartilage. Although one doctor told him never to play football again, two other doctors told him that not only would he be able to play again but, because of the structure of the joints in his knee, he might even be able to get away without having surgery. Buoyed by that. Miller started "rehabbing like a madman." Less than six weeks later he went back on the football field to test his knee, although his coaches dis­ suaded him, saying that playing would jeopardize his chance of getting another year of eligibility. But ignoring the fact that his knee was getting weaker and occasionally gave out. Miller did play lacrosse in the spring of 1988. Four weeks into the season he was hit hard from the left. His right knee shift­ ed and he tore a lot more cartilage. This time there was no decision to be made. He had surgery in April and missed the 1988 season. Now he finds himself mentally strug­ gling about his future—on and off the field. "It has been almost a year, and it's not going so great, to be honest," he said. "I can feel [my knee] now. I feel it pretty much all the time now. I'm starting to get arthritis. Lately it's been bothering me every day, just walking around. "I'm also a lot more aware of what's down the road, for the first time. When I was younger, I didn't think about my future much. Now I realize I'd like to be able to play with my kids on this knee. I may be a little more cautious now," he said. "Also, I realize I may not be the player I was in the past. Not to be able to do things that I used to be able to do would drive me crazy. That would be a tough cross to bear. I'd hate to be in a situation where I'm like 85 percent. On top of that, if I'm like that, my chance of injuring [my knee] again is higher. And to do it again would be ugly." All the injured players have experi­ enced the same feelings—all the doubts, all the anxiety. Some players go through it once, some twice. San Jose State's Haw­ kins went through it 11 times. "I think people put a mark on a person with a knee injury," said Hawkins, whose surgeries—six open-knee surgeries and five arthroscopic surgeries—were per­ formed to improve the range of motion for the knee he originally hurt as a senior in high school. "You're stamped 'rejected'—a stamp of failure—bright off the bat. And I think that's wrong. "After all these surgeries I was still a second-string tailback. That says to me I would have been first-string if I wouldn't have had this injury. Sure, I wanted to show all those people who put that stamp on me. But mostly I had to proyfe it to myself." *■» About the Author: Mary Schmitt covers the Minnesota Timberwolves for the St. Paul Pioneer Press & Dispatch. She previously covered the NFL, the NHL and the NBA for 10 years, as a writer for The Milwaukee Journal. he first thing an injured player wants to know is, "Will I ever play again?" After an affirmative answer, his next concern is when—and how well. Before the advent of arthroscopic surgery, the chance of playing competi­ tive football soon after knee surgery was slight, despite the high level of dedication and hard work put into rehabilitation. Arthroscopic surgery enables thou­ sands of athletes to have damaged knees repaired and to return to their activities within two to four weeks—requiring less recovery time and involving less pain than following conventional openknee surgery. The procedure is clean and relatively simple. Using an arthroscope—^an instru­ ment that allows doctors to see directly into the knee and to diagnose a prob­ lem—a magnified image of the knee joint is projected into an eyepiece or onto a television monitor. The orthopedic surgeon then makes T Travel beyond your expectations. To a new era in incomparable hotel will be managed by Sheraton, day will fulfil every wish.

ARTHROSCOPY THE KEY TO QUICK RECOVERIES several tiny incisions around the knee and injects a sterile saline solution into one of them. This causes the knee to puff up, making it large enough to insert the arthroscope with ease. The arthroscopic shaft contains coated glass fibers and a series of magnifying lenses that beam an intense, cool light into the joint, which provides a detailed view of the cartilage and ligaments. This allows the doctor to completely evaluate the injury. If the injury can be repaired with arthroscopic surgery, the doctor will pro­ ceed, using the TV monitor as a guide. Afterward, the small incisions will be stitched or taped together and the knee will be bandaged. The patient can usual­ ly leave the hospital, on crutches, that sameday. Although arthroscopic surgery has done wonders in helping doctors to identify specific knee damage, it cannot be used on all knee injuries, such as major tears of ligaments. A considerable amount of arthroscopic surgery is performed on football players, mainly because the high-speed contact of the sport increases the possibility, and thus the number, of knee injuries. But many basketball players, baseball catchers, and jumpers suffer similar knee problems later in life due to accumulated wear and stress on the joint. Recently doctors have begun to study the use of arthroscopic surgery on other joints, including the shoulder for the repair of separations. For now, though, the impact that arthroscopic surgery has had on vulnera­ ble knees has football players and coach­ es jumping for joy. f; 7 | | of two stunning, championship golf courses.

For details on the 1990 Voikswagens call 1-800-444-VWUS, SHOOT-EM-UP FOOTBALL the same approach with his wide receivers. The idea is to take some of the burden off the quarterback and force the receivers to do their share of deciphering the defense. The key to the Run-and-Shoot is quick­ ness in execution: run, read, cut, throw, catch. Too much time spent on any aspect destroys the timing and makes it suscepti­ ble to interceptions and incompletions. Jenkins said he spends as much time going over opposing defenses, and on how to recognize them, as he spends on other aspects of the game. Athleticism at quarter­ back is secondary. Ware, a 6-2, 190-pounder with speed, is the ideal quarterback— mobile, good arm, good head. But both Pardee and Jenkins said a quarterback with the attributes of Jim Kelly, the Buffalo Bills quarterback who ran the Run-and-Shoot with the Gamblers, is not necessary. "Any discussion of offensive football is useless unless you know the strengths and weaknesses of fronts and coverages," Jenkins said. "There's nothing magical about a design. It comes down to players executing what you have for them." A'#*' / 'f'"‘ Said Davis: "[The Run-and-Shoot] just allows more opportunities for wide receivers to convert their routes." The result is multidimensional. A defen­ sive back never knows what his man will do. Defensive coaches must also abandon their ground-oriented, heavy-footed linebackers and plug in nickel backs. And when they do, the Run-and-Shoot lets the superback do his occasional work. Two players split Houston's S-back duties. One, a 5-9, 205-pound bowling ball, gained 1,004 yards rushing on 8.5 yards per carry, while the other caught 33 passes for 377 yards, mostly on short shuttle passes. Jenkins is a bigger fan of the shuttle pass than Davis. But they are alike in their approach to the offense. Davis said a few teams will occasionally use Run-andShoot plays, but they will not use the phi­ losophy full-time. "It requires more discipline to do what we do," he said. "It requires practice." Houston quarterbacks spend about two hours of practice each day on passing. They throw from 250 to 300 passes. mm Before practice even begins, each receiver catches approximately 70 passes. The secret to succeeding with the Runand-Shoot, all the coaches say, is to be faithful to it. Stick with it when times are bad. Use it even in goal-line situations. Jenkins made it into his goal-line offense with the Gamblers and scored 21 out of 26 times from inside the six. Most important, the coaches say, is to use it alone. "I've never seen anyone good at anything when they split up time," said Pardee, who has also coached the NFL's Washington Redskins and Chicago Bears. "You don't get the repetitions that are necessary." ■' Repetitions they've got. Respect, no. Not even from the players. "It reminds me," Ware said, "of a bunch of guys play­ ing in the back yard." *■* ' About the Author: Kevin Sherrington is a sportswriter for The Dallas Morning News.

And that was only the begin­ ning for the 5-8, 197-pound Sanders, who finished his junior season with 2,628 yards rushing (an NCAA record), going for more than 300 yards four times. He capped off the year with 222 yards in the Cowboys' 62-14 Holiday Bowl win over Wyoming. For his efforts, Sanders was named recipient of several major postseason honors, including the Heisman Trophy and the Maxwell Award, the latter pre­ sented annually by the Maxwell Club of Philadelphia to the nation's outstanding college football player. Founded in 1937, the Maxwell Club promotes football in the name of Robert "Tiny" Maxwell, a man whose many qual­ ities as an All-America football player, a respected football official and a noted sports editor and humorist endeared hini to football fans across the country. The Maxwell Club's most important function may be its financing, through membership dues and donations, of a high school and college awards program during the football season.

Besides housing all the media who report on a game, the press box serves as the VIP lounge, reception center for the host and a coach's best viewing point. The press box wasn't always a prime piece of real estate. Early football reporters were lucky to have an umbrella to shield them from the wind and cold of a brisk autumn afternoon. But as the game of football became more refined, so did the stadium press box. P Today's college stadium press box looks more like part of the school's computer science lab than a football field. Modems, computerized statistics sheets, video cam­ eras and screens have become necessary tools of the trade. "The press box serves the media like an office away from the office," said team University of Oregon assistant sports infor­ mation director Dave Williford. The press box is definitely a work place. Guided by a code of ethics, there is generally no cheer­ ing or other form of partisan behavior dur­ ing the game—at least among the media. The University of California's press box at Berkeley's Memorial Stadium is similar TOUCHDOWN ILLUSTRATED to those at most colleges, offering the media the environment of the game "with­ out all the noise and confusion in the stands below," said California's SID, Kevin Reneau.

But some of the most important features of a press box are the utility booths—^places for the official timekeeper, public address announcer and coaches, who use that van­ tage point to analyze the teams' perfor­ mance on the field and shoot important game films. Still, the main focus of the press box reihains the press. Boston College kicked off its 1988 football season with a new, $25 million athletic complex that includes a state-of-the-art press box that rivals pro­ fessional news studios, said Reid Oslin, assistant athletic director for sports public­ ity. The two-tiered deck spans 50 yards and seats more than 200 people. The media center itself offers high-quality ser­ vices for all levels of sportscasting, includ­ ing space for 85 writers, four radio booths, one network broadcast booth, two large photo bays and smaller booths for statisti­ cians, the public address announcer and the official timekeeper. 77te convenience and comfort of today’s press box can sometimes be offset by a longdistance view of the field. Not all schools grade their press boxes so highly. "I like to use the word 'antique,'" said University of Pittsburgh's Larry Eldridge, assistant AD for public relations, when describing the 12-year-old "temporary" press box at Pitt Stadium. The cramped quarters are too small for the crush of the national media, but they still offer all the phone lines, statistical reports and player guides necessary to cover a game, he said. Eldridge said he feels that smaller, more humble press boxes are better than larger, more "sterile" ones. "They stir up more camaraderie among the reporters, as in the old days," he said. However, many of the older press boxes are open-air, which makes for a chilly afternoon's v^ork at some of the colder-climate schools. For sports columnist Monte'Poole of The (Oakland) Tribune, the needs of a reporter are simple: "A quick elevator and a good view." He said that a slow ele­ vator down to the locker rooms can ham­ per a reporter's ability to talk with a player or coach right after a game, when the emotion is still running high. And a good view of the action on the field is vital, he explained. The press box at the University of Washington's Husky Stadium in Seattle offers a great view—of the Cascade and Olympic mountain ranges. But with the field 165 feet below the press box, reporters have to look almost directly downward to see the game. Chip Lydum, assistant SID, said that while the nearly 500-seat Husky press box is a good van­ tage point from which to diagram play for­ mations, its height and older structure can cause frightening shakes and shudders when the win^ blows or when the crowd starts to clap mands and stomp feet. Poole said he agrees. "You catch yourself rooting for the other team, just so the Husky fans don't get excited," he said. Most Division I college press boxes are plugged in to the high-tech needs of the media. By using computerized statistics sheets, instant-replay screens and pre­ pared pregame and postgame quotes, a reporter may not need to even be at the game. Are game-site press boxes soon to be obsolete? "Football isn't like golf," Poole said. "As a reporter you need to feel the game, as well as watch it." Oslin perhaps best summed up the importance of an on-site press box. "An off-campus press box would need to have a lot of electricity, but it could never replace the electricity of the game itself." *■» Whyour "'IVis neater than ai^^e dse’s 32 IT'; 3ol trolled swivel motors that allow theTV and two of its speak­ ers to each turn 15 degrees left or right, full on-screen displays, 181-channel cable compatibility, and a complete AA/jack pack.

Quarterback Steve Walsh, who completed 31 of 50 passes for 424 yards and four touchdowns, lofted the ball in the direction of halfback Leonard Conley in the comer of the end zone in an attempt to win the game. Notre Dame free safety Pat Terrell knocked it away.

As losers, they had to hope that another team would defeat Notre Dame and put the Hurricanes in position to retain their national title. But that was not to be. Johnson—^who as the new head coach of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys no longer has to determine whether to go for one or two points following a touchdown—^has no sec­ ond thoughts about the decision to go for two. "We always play to win," he said. "That's the way you play the game. There is no consideration of anything else." In the past the two-point conversion— made a par^^of the game in 1958—was good to the Hurricanes. It played a major role in their No. 1 ranking in the 1983 and 1987 seasons. Who will ever forget Nebraska misfir­ ing on a two-point pass attempt with 48 seconds remaining in the 1984 Orange Bowl and losing the national title to Miami in another 31-30 conflict? Cornhusker coach Tom Osborne would not have been criticized if he had gone for the extra point. After all, Nebraska needed only a tie to finish as the nation's lone unbeaten team. Osborne, like Johnson in 1988, never wavered in going for the deuce. He played his hand the only way he knew how—by using every tactic avail­ able to try to win. In 1987 the Hurricanes fell behind Florida State, 19-3, then rallied to pull out a 26-25 triumph, thanks to a pair of suc­ cessful two-point conversions and one For millions of Americans, an inability to hear normal conversation is the first sign of deafness.

TOUCHDOWN ILLUSTRATED TWO-POINT GAMBLE unsuccessful try by the Seminoles. Miami drew even at 19-19 with its two-pointers, then went for one point after its final touchdown for a 26-19 advantage. Florida State scored with 42 seconds remaining, then said no to playing for a tie and lost its two-point conversion attempt—and the game—on an incomplete pass. The drama produced in the final sec­ onds of those games was exactly what the NCAA Football Rules Committee had in mind when it conceived the two-point play 31 years ago. Today there is little opposi­ tion to the two-point rule. In the begin­ ning, however, that was not the case. The historic 1958 rules committee ses­ sion was held in a residential hotel in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.—the Lago Mar. Mich­ igan athletic director Fritz Crisler, who was chairman of the committee, had a friend who owned the hotel. There were no meeting rooms, so after the bar closed at 2 a.m. some tables and chairs were placed on the dance floor for the 8 a.m. committee gathering. "There was a feeling among committee members that something had to be done to spice up the game because there weren't enough field goals and the extra point was too simple a play," said Dave Nelson, secretary-editor of the rules com­ mittee, who attended his first meeting in 1958, when he was coach at the Univer­ sity of Delaware. One of the suggestions for adding some excitement to the game was to move the goal posts back to the goal line, but it was rejected for reasons of safety. The next proposal was to widen the goal posts. That was also turned down. E.C. "Irish" Krieger, the Big Ten technical advisor for football, then mentioned that prior to World War II a two-point conversion play had been discussed. "I was sitting next to Bud Wilkinson [the Oklahoma coach] and we both thought it was a good idea," said Nelson. "After a while it came up for a vote. The idea lost 12-2. That night former Alabama and Duke head coach Wallace Wade [who was representing the Southern Confer­ ence] said he thought the two-point con­ version would be good for football. He got Illinois coach Ray Eliot, who had voted against the original proposal, to bring it up again the next day. After a lot of discus­ sion, the matter came to a final vote. Eliot voted against it. "Crisler said that because it was a con­ troversial rule change the committee should have a unanimous vote," Nelson recounted. "Eliot said if we moved the ball back from the three-yard line to the fiveyard line he would vote for the change. Crisler told him no. Eliot then lobbied to put the ball on the four-yard line. Crisler again said no, then asked Ray why he was so upset. Eliot responded, 'Sir, let me tell you. Sir, that in my league if we put the ball on the three-yard line. Woody Hayes [the Ohio State coach] will score two points every time [his team] puts the ball in play.'" Tom Osborne’s choice to go for two in the 1984 Orange Bowl cost Nebraska a national champi­ onship—but he never second-guesses his decision. But coaches throughout the country were intrigued with the new rule. Many thought it would be almost as easy to score via the run or the pass as it would be with a kick, so 51.4 percent of the extra­ point attempts in 1958 were for two points. The success rate was 44.7 percent compared with 68.6 percent for the kick. In 1959 coaches began to see the light. Only 40.2 percent of the PAT attempts were two-point conversions. The success rate dropped to 40.3 percent, while kick­ ers were successful with 75.4 percent of their attempts. At the same time there was a strong movement to do away with the rule. The leader of the opposition was Georgia Tech coach Bobby Dodd. "I was coaching at Delaware at the time and in 1958 we lost 8-7 to Lafayette and 7-6 to Lehigh, both games revolving around the two-point play," said Nelson. "Dodd sent me a tele­ gram. It contained the two scores and said, 'It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.'" Not long after the two-point rule was passed, Lou Little of Columbia was named TOUCHDOWN ILLUSTRATED chairman of the rules committee. He came to the general meeting armed with a reso­ lution supporting the two-point rule and widening of the goal posts. The opposition quickly faded. In 1960, the third year of the plan, the percentage of PAT attempts for two points dropped to 29.9. The low point was 1986, when just .095 percent of the tries were for two points. In 616 games last season, only 10.8 percent of the PATs were for two points. The success rate was 43.5 percent. "The rule has added a great deal of interest to the game, but it doesn't compare in importance with the free-substitution rule," said Nelson. "That rule is the reason we have so many field goals these days. It permitted teams to have a specialist to snap the ball, a specialist to hold the ball and a specialist to kick the ball."' A recent addition to the rute book has given another new look to the extra point. This change permits the defense to score two points on a PAT attempt if they return a blocked kick, an intercepted pass or a fumble interception for a touchdown. These things happened 19 times in about 2,500 games last season and involved all levels of NCAA teams. "We made the change because the thinking was that 'total football' wasn't being played on the extra point," said Nelson. "I think the rule will have a greater impact this season. I heard that one team is thinking of using a 6-10 basketball player to try to block kicks." Coach John Mackovic of Illinois, who also wears the athletic director hat, said he believes that the number of two-point attempts will increase this season. "With the tee being tak^n away from the kickers, the number oP long-range field goals will not be so high," observed the coach. "People will be looking for other ways to score points, and I see them opting for the two-point conversion." Mackovic is very familiar with coach­ ing at a level where there was no twopoint option. "It is an exciting part of the college game," said the Illini coach, for­ merly the number-one man with Kansas City in the NFL. "I was never in favor of the two-point rule in the NFL, but if it ever comes to a vote at the college level. I'll vote 'yes.'"

It determines what film you use, what apertures and shutter speeds you choose.. .even the lens you select. Proper lighting can make a common subject great: bad lighting can ruin the best sports shot. Films are rated according to their sensitivity to light. Somewhere on the film canister, you’ll see the letters ISO and a number from, say, 25 to 1000. That number is the film speed, and the higher it is, the more sensitivethefilm is to light. Generally, fast or highly sensitive filmstocks are also more grainy than their slower, less sensitive The Basics of Light and Fiim brothers. This characteristic can be used for artistic ends, but most photographers like the finer resolu­ tion of slower films. Choosing the right filmstock de­ pends on a number of variables. If you’re shooting dune buggies at noon on the Mohave desert, an ISO 25or 64 film will do just fine. In fact, you might have trouble using an ISO 160 or 400 film: it might be too sensitive to tight, forcing you to use very small aper­ tures or very high shutter speeds. If you’re going to be shooting a football game on a dull grey afternoon in December, though, you’ll need all the speed you can get, especially if you want to use the faster shutter speeds to freeze action. If you’re shooting black and white film, you’ve got a good deal of flexibil­ ity. B&W has a great deal of latitude: you can be off as much as two f-stops from the correct exposure and still get a decent negative. Color films, both negative and slide, unfortunately have less latitude. If you’re off by more than about one-half of an f-stop, you’ll begin to see a color shift B&W has another advantage, too. The film can be “forced,” or exposed as if it had an ISO rating of two or three times its actual number. Your photo lab can compensate for the forced underexposure by “push pro­ cessing,” or extending the developing time. (Among the color flims, Kodak’s Ektachrome slide film can be forced and push processed.) If the sun hides behind the clouds and you decide to force a film, remember to expose the entire roll at the forced ISO number. Since the compensation is done in the developing process, you can’t correct partially forced rolls of film! What do you do if you load a film that’s too sensitive for the light conditions? The best answer is to use an inexpensive accessory called a “neutral density” filter, which mounts in front of your lens and reduces the amount of light passing through to the film. ND filters are available in strengths that reduce exposure by one to three f-stops. While B&W film is versatile, most photographers prefer to shoot color. Color negative films, which produce prints, are available in speeds up to ISO 1000, and many have a latitude of one f-stop with acceptable results. Color positive film, used to make slides, has less latitude, but there’s one filmstock—Kodak’s P800/1600— that’s designed to be forced and push processed. You can actually shoot this film at ISO 3200! Sooner or later, though, you’re going to be shooting indoors. If you supplement inadequate indoor light­ ing with electronic flash, make sure that you choose a color film that’s balanced for daylight. (If you use day­ light film under tungsten lights in­ doors, you’ll notice a decided shift toward the red in all the colors.) Use a tungsten-balanced film for correct color values when shooting indoors. Fluorescent lighting is something of a problem, but using daylight film with an FL-D filter provides a pretty good answer. FIRST GAME WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI t is not without just cause that football players at Grinnell College are nick­ named the Pioneers. The 140-year-old school in central Iowa lists among its accomplish­ ments the granting of the first bache­ lor's degrees west of the Mississippi River, a woman graduated by 1867, its first black student in 1871, and formation of the nation's original undergraduate political science department while Chester A. Arthur was president in the early 1880s. But Grinnell is equally proud of the fact that it was where football first landed when it jumped the Mississippi heading west. On Nov. 16, 1889, Grinnell—then called Iowa College—Ghosted and won a football game against the University of Iowa. The sport had been creeping across the by John Egon In 1889 Grinnell and Iowa squared off in an unorthodox landmark cantest. country for two decades since Rutgers launched American college football by beating Princeton, 6-4, in New Brunswick, N.J., in 1869. In that historic game there were 25 play­ ers on a side. Goals, worth one point each, were scored by kicking or butting the ball through posts at each end of the field. TOUCHDOWN ILLUSTRATED By the time collegiate football received its Iowa baptism some substantial changes had been made. It didn't resemble the national champi­ onship game Notre Dame and West Virginia played at the 1989 Sunkist Fiesta Bowl, but it was getting there . . . very slowly. Two halves of 45 minutes each were played, rather than continuing the compe­ tition until one team or the other had scored six goals. The length of the playing field had been standardized at 330 feet. Runners, who by now could carry the football—but by no means throw it—had to shout "down" when stopped. Touchdowns were four points, goals fol­ lowing touchdowns two points and goals kicked at random from the field five points. GET WITH THE PROGRAM! FIRST GAME I selves by exchanging greetings. A Grinnell suc­ cess brought: "Grinnell we yell, Grinnell we yell." Good fortune for Drake would bring a counter: "Well, well, Grinnell, why don't you yell?" This, of course, was great fun. But spectators expected to see football games, not hear them. So as far as Drake and Grinnell were concerned, they put night football away for 27 years before tiying it again—and liking what they saw. After its baptismal defeat at Grinnell, the University of Iowa stepped up ath­ letic efforts in general and football enthusiasm in particular. Arthur G. Smith played center for the Hawkeyes in the 24-0 loss to the Pioneers in 1889. He was elected cap­ tain of Iowa's 1890 team that held twohour practices each Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, and played two games. There was a second loss to Grinnell, 14-6 this time, and a 91-0 victory over Iowa Wesleyan on Thanksgiving. Buoyed by that heady experience, the team attracted both increasing numbers of prospective players and contributions to the program from excited townspeople. Soon the Hawkeyes were invited to join a football league. Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri were starting what was to become the Big Eight. For reasons not stated, Iowa declined. Instead, the Hawkeyes entered the Big Ten a few months later, thus continuing the history of hopping the Mississippi in the name of football. Many of the lights went out during the game due to short-circuiting of the wires when they were hit by punted footballs. As far as spectators werething, con­ Teams were penalized for one cerned, most of the action was invisible. primarily, and that was roughness. Such a Cheering call cost a teamsections 25 yards.entertained them­ Quarterbacks received the center snap on every play, but could not carry the foot­ ball themselves. There was a good/bad element to offen­ sive efforts. A team received a first down by either gaining five yards or losing 20 in three plays. With those ground rules established, there appeared in October of 1889 notices in two Iowa City newspapers—the Vidette Reporter and the State Register. Through the press came this call to action: "The State University football team hereby challenges any college or other team in the state to a game of football, American Association rules." Among the readers of the advertisement were Lou Van Gieson and Frank Everest at Grinnell. They had been introduced to football at prep schools in the East, and they welcomed the opportunity to knock heads with university rivals. Preceding the first game west of the Mississippi came something else that exists to this day. To host such a game, Grinnell folks needed some expense money. That's right, fund raising. rinnell and Iowa went m different directions after that historic game of 1889. For the Pioneers, who passed the hat both during and after the game, there was $10 remaining after game expenses were paid. They bought jackets for team members, and the sport prospered. So much so that by 1900 Grinnell was the guest for the first football game played outdoors under artificial lighting. On Oct. 5 of that season, Grinnell and Drake met at the Western League base­ ball park in Des Moines. Football's historians have established that the sport had been played under lights as early as 1890. But that was indoors at New York's original Madison Square Garden. In Des Moines in 1900 the game was outdoors. Fifty arc lights lined the sideline, but the center of the field was still in relative darkness, and punts disappeared in midflight. Drake won, 6-0. The game drew 2,500 sf)ectators, making it a financial if not artistic success. So it was tried again the next season. This time Grinnell won, 6-5. Lights for the 1901 game were strung on wires that stretched to the stadium fences from a tall pole that had been erected in the center of the playing field. G ; 1 I ■ FOOTBALL FLOURISHES AFTER HISTORIC GAME TOUCHDOWN ILLUSTRATED Students, professors, administrators and what passed in that era for boosters kicked in—a quarter from most, a buck from a few. And so the battle line was drawn. Now, what to wear? There were no such things as helmets then, of course. Or shoulder pads. Or hip pads. Or shoes adapted specifically to the sport of football. What developed in the way of uni­ forms followed somewhat traditional col­ legiate lines. From Iowa City, the university team was said to be anxious to "bag a few corn­ field canaries." Yes, an early urban-coun­ try confrontation, and the city boys looked grand. Their new white canvas uniforms were spotless. But not for long. The Grinnell men dressed down for the occasion. In fact, Everest, the tjeam's right end, later said: "A more heterogeneous collection of old clothes never disgraced an iritercollegiate contest." Only two— probably Everest and Van Gieson—had what were termed regulation football pants. Most of the hosts wore a type of knickers used for bicycling. There was even one pair of genuine blue jeans. In this instance, for sure, clothes did not make the man. Grinnell put on the field a gigantic rush line, said to average 170 pounds from flank to flank. A century ago, that was extremely good-sized. Or didn't you know that Notre Dame's fabled Four Horsemen truly were ponies by today's standards? These Grinnell rushers, moreover, "were all of them men who can run at an eleven-second gait," said an editorial in the Iowa ColL^ge newspaper. The Pulse. So there diey were on the central cam­ pus green one blustery November after­ noon—big, fast and owning a world record for the largest number of different colored jerseys across a line of scrimmage. Grinnell's finest soon became an early football power in the western half of the United States. Those who traveled from Iowa City to watch their heroes teach the country boys a lesson or two quickly realized that the chal­ lenged soon would become the conquerors. To Grinnell's Otto Savage went the dis­ tinction of scoring the first touchdown west of the Mississippi. Harry Macomber later scored twice and Theron Lyman and Van Gieson once each. The Ijumpkins won, 24-0. The key to the winner's success was powerful use of a battering-ram flying wedge, later outlawed.

Of significance during the inaugural western game was a brief battle between James Allison, center for Grinnell's Pioneers, and Frank Pierce, right end for the university team. Call it an altercation or a misunderstanding—that's what they did back then—it was said by a reporter to have marred the felicity of the occasion. To Allison and Pierce, then, goes a nod for carrying a tradition to the West that has been testing football's felicity factor to this day. touchdoum ilhi/tiolod ■ I I ...Magazine— Vol. 25 Chairman Jarred R. Metze Publisher Robert L. Fulton Perhaps Pierce was frustrated because of a flaw that became readily evident in a system of "signals" the university team had developed for the game, It was a very simple code. When "look out" was called for an offensive play, it heralded a run around left end. A signal of "ready" meant the run was going to be attempted around right end. "All right" called for a smash into the center of Grinnell's defensive line, There was really only one problem. The huddle hadn't been invented yet. V.P. National Advertising Director Cecil D.

SrieSt. 30 31 Frank Tucci BILL ENGH: EDINBORO'S SUPER BOOSTER the second week of the football season, but the Enghs still managed to make it for the opening kickoff of a game played at Millersville. "We arrived in New York City at six in the morning on the day of the game and right away I rented a car to Millersville," Engh related. The players are also special people to Engh. He visits with them during practice and in the locker room, and by the time they are upperclassmen he knows most of them on a first-name basis. "We more or less adopted the Gierlak boys (Tom, Dan and Dave) that played here," he says with a smile. Engh is also one of the top financial supporters of the EUP athletic scholarship fund. Engh has many fond memories of the athletes on and off the field. He said the most unusual thing he witnessed was during the Waynesburg game in 1971 when quarterback Joe Sanford and halfback A1 Raines both ran the same distance 91 yards - from scrimmage for touchdowns in the same quar­ ter. Engh says the best two teams were the 1970-71 Edin­ boro clubs. One of his most satisfying wins was when Edin­ boro knocked off highly-regarded West Chester for its first and only Pennsylvania Conference championship in 1970. But one of the most disappointing losses occurred a week later when Westminster defeated Edinboro on a muddy field in New Castle to advance to the NAIA national finals. "That was probably the biggest disappointment because we had a chance to go to California," he said. "Jack Bestwick (the Westminster quarterback who is now Fairview High School's coach) had a hot day for them. The game was supposed to be played at Three Rivers Stadium but Westmin­ ster's coach, who was a member of the NAIA committee, helped to get it changed because he knew his team couldn't stay with us on a dry field." The years preceding 1970 were lean ones for the Edinboro football program, but Engh refused to give up his seat in the stands. Win or lose, he's always been a booster. "Everyone likes to win, and at times it was discour­ aging, but I always said there was another Saturday. And a win over Clarion, Indiana or Slippery Rock then made it all worthwhile." The big difference, he says, is that football players are much larger today. "190 pounds was big in my days," says Engh, who was a wingback for four years in high school but was too small to play in college. His high school hero while growing up in Illinois was the legendary Red Grange, and Engh said he was in the stands for the memorable game in the late 1920s when Grange galloped for four touchdowns in the mini's big win over Michigan. "Grange was a lot like Herschel Walker," Engh recalls. "He was big, fast and shifty and ran like a deer." Engh still roots for the Fighting Illini, but as long as he lives in Edinboro they'll be his second favorite team. Engh, who was inducted into Edinboro University's Athletic Hall of Fame five years ago, plans to follow the Fighting Scots forev­ er. "As long as the Lord will let me keep walking on my feet. I'll be there," he says.

Well, Edinboro University has a 'subway alumnus' in its own back­ yard who can rival any of these major-school sports support­ ers. Edinboro's Super Booster is Bill Engh, who for the past 43 years has been a faithful follower of the local universi­ ty's and high school's sports programs. Engh takes an interest in all sports, but his favorite is football, especially Fighting Scot style. Engh loves watching the Scots play so much that he has missed just two of their games - home and away - since he moved to Edinboro in 1947. That's only two misses in 400 games, a remarkable achievement in any league. "I love the game and I love Edinboro," says the 78year-old Engh from his home on Maple Drive. "Edinboro is our home and even though we weren't alumni, we adopted Edinboro as our team. I just took Edinboro under my wing as an alma mater, that's all. I just enjoyed watching them play, win or lose." "I'd rather watch Edinboro play than pay $15 to see the (Cleveland) Browns even though I am a Browns fan," he continued. Engh attends the games with his wife Gretchen, who is Edinboro's second biggest booster. She has missed only three of the games during the past 43 years. You could say it's a marriage made for the gridiron. "We're very compatible and anything I want to do we'll do together," said Bill. "She didn't know anything about football before she met me but now she knows as much as I do. She enjoys the games, especially the halftime perfor­ mances." One reason the Enghs follow the Scots wherever they play is because they enjoy traveling. During the off season they travel throughout the world by freighter. And it was because of a freighter excursion that the Enghs missed one of their games, the home opener in 1980. (Bill Engh missed his first game sometime during the 1950s when he was bedridden in the hospital.) The freighter trip nine years ago extended into This story originally ran in the fall of 1986 and has been updated for print today.

On behalf of the Board of Governors for the State System of Higher Education and the Office of the Chancellor, I am pleased to welcome you to this exciting athletic contest. Athletics, as well as academic programs, play an important part in reinforcing the skills and values needed to attain excellence. Commit­ ment, patience, and perseverance are requirements for success in the classroom and the athletic arena. The efforts of the young women and men who represent their univer­ sities deserve commendation. National champions, regional champions, All-Americans, and top scholar athletes may be found throughout the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference. These students sacrifice in many ways for the privilege of competing in intercollegiate sports. The blend­ ing of classes and competition as the foundation of the students’ educa­ tional experience requires special abilities. Their achievemenffs are applauded. Recognition must also be given to the excellent coaching staffs. It is their know-how and leadership which make this competition possible.

With a little over nine minutes left in the game, Kutz­ town closed the door on Edinboro when FB Joe Svede scored on a 1-yard plunge to give the Bears a solid 34-16 lead, Edinboro added a late-game touchdown when Galupi tossed a 31-yard TD strike to the 'Boro's other WR, John Toomer, That TD marked the last score of the game and the final count was on the board, Kutztown 34, Edinboro 22, Werley scored three of Kutztown's touchdowns, but the offensive star for the Golden Bears was freshman Mark Steinmeyer, The all-purpose back racked up 208 total yards in numerous roles for KU, Steinmeyer carried the ball 13 times for 56 yards, caught 5 passes for 69 yards, returned 2 punts for 33 yards, and had 3 kickoff returns for 50 yards, Werley fin­ ished the game with 92 yards on 18 carries and Bear QB Greg Buchman was on the mark, completing 13 of 23 passes for 153 yards, . Edinboro was led by RB Elbert Cole, who gamed 68 yards on the ground and had 22 yards in punt returns, Cleve­ land Pratt was also a big gun for the Scots with 4 passes for 62 yards and an outstanding 189 yards in kick returns. Fellow wideout John Toomer also caught 4 passes for 51 yards, including the 31-yard TD, The win upped the Bears’ record to 2-2 as the Scots fell to 1-4, Edinboro University's football team traveled to Kutztown in the fifth week of the season trying to stop the bleeding after two consecutive losses. Playing without four defensive starters, the game proved to be the low point of the season for the Scots as they saw their record drop to 1-4 after a 34-22 loss to the Golden Bears, While it is difficult to label a loss as a "turning point" in any season, the loss did prove to be the impetus for better things to come for Edinboro as the Scots went undefeated the rest of the season while Kutztown went winless the rest of the way, Kutztown started the scoring halfway through the first period when defender Todd Hopkins recovered an Edin­ boro fumble in the end zone, taking advantage of an errant 'Boro screen pass to take a 7-0 lead. The Golden Bears upped the margin to 13-0 after RB Eric Werley's 2-yard touchdown run with just a minute left in the quarter. However, kick returner Cleveland Pratt cut the lead in half with an 87-yard return and Edinboro's initial score. Still trailing 13-7 halfway through the second period, Edinboro mounted a drive that would eventually see them take the lead, Pratt, Edinboro’s starting wide r^eiver, caught a 15yard touchdown pass from QB Hal Galupi with 5:45 left in the half, Scot kicker Darren Weber's PAT attempt was good and the Clan led 14-13, But Kutztown was not down for long. The Golden Bears drove the ball the length of the field on the next drive, culminated by Werley's second TD run of the day. The Bears were good on the two-point conversion attempt and took a 21-14 lead, Edinboro rounded out first half scoring when Scot special teams standout Jason Benham blocked a Kutztown punt out of the end zone for a safety. The score at halftime was Kutztown 21, Edinboro 16, Kutztown scored first in the second half with Wer­ ley's third TD of the game - another 2-yard run. The PAT failed and the Bears led 27-16, For the next 15 minutes, the game was played even as the Scots could not cut into the KU GAME STATS First Downs Rushing attempts/net yards Passing comp/att/int Passing yards Total yards Penalties/yards EU 12 31/105 13/28/2 107 190 10/103 lUP 20 50/281 13/24/2 153 424 8/81 FiNDllbUR Personal Best Finding your Personal Best is what sport — any sport — is all about.
