GOOD TIME. GREAT IASTE: /V\ ■McDonald's I ■ I® 120 PLUM STREET, EDINBORO ©1988 McDonald's Corporation 2 It is said that good football teams win games they should not have. Thus was the case a week ago for the Edinboro University football squad. But do not tell that to Fighting Scot Coach Tom Hollman. "It is a win and it puts us in the drivers seat in the conference race. Clarion was a tough, physical football team and I knew we were in for a battle," Hollman stated. "Give credit to Clarion but also to our kids for mak­ ing the big play when they had to. Our defense turned in a great effort against a very good squad." The Scots are back in action today as they host the Bald Eagles of Lock Haven University. Edinboro (4-1, 2-0) currently stands in first place in the PSAC western division while Lock Haven enters the game with an 0-6,0-3 slate. Edinboro opened the '89 season with a 51-27 setback at the hands of still unbeaten Liberty University but have rebounded to score consecutive wins over New Haven (4613), lUP (37-0), Kutztown (42-21) and Clarion. 'The Bald Eagles have lost to Tennessee Tech (38-17), lUP (44-0), Bloomsburg (24-7), California, Pa. (10-0), Slip­ pery Rock (27-16) and most recently to Division I-AA power Maine, 56-0. "I do not expect anything different from Lock Haven," Hollman adds. "When you look at the conference teams they have played, they have played people tough. We need to put everything back on track this week. Lock Haven poses as the next challenge for our team. We are in for another tough opponent." Leading the Scot attack this week will be the big play combination of tailback Elbert Cole and wide receiver Ernest Priester. The twosome have combined for 17 of the teams' 24 touchdowns through five games. The Scots' offense enters today's game averaging 33 points per game and 392 yards total offense. Cole, the school's all-time record holder for career attempts, has surpassed the 100-yard mark five straight weeks and leads the Plaid with 742 yards on 114 carries. His 9 touch­ downs and 148 yards per game rushing are tops in the PSAC. Priester, the Scots' threat on the outside, continues to baffle opposing secondaries. On the year, he has caught 19 passes for 396 yards (20.8 ypc) and 8 touchdowns. He turned in a very solid performance in Clarion, catching 6 passes for 74 yards and a first quarter touchdown. Calling the shots again this week will be junior quar­ terback Hal Galupi. Leading the Plaid to their quick start, Galupi has connected on 54 of 106 (51%) passes for 715 yards and 8 touchdowns, all to Priester. Joining Cole and Galupi in the Scot backfield will be the fullback tandem of Steve Clare and Matt Koehle. The two­ some have combined for 197 yards on 55 carries and a pair of touchdowns. Besides Priester wide out Wrentie Martin (7 catches, 84 yards) and tight end Randy Mcllwain (4, 34) round out the receiving corps for the Scots. Clearing the way will be center Dave Pinkerton, guards Joe Brooks and Curtis Rose and tack­ les Ron Hainsey and Wally Spisak. Defensively, Lock Haven enters the game yielding 225 yards per game on the ground and 154 through the air. Leading the defensive charge for the Bald Eagles will be linebackers Larry Walker and Todd Stuter. In '89, Walker leads the squad with 79 tackles, 2 sacks and 1 pass intercep­ tion. Stuter ranks behind Walker with 50 tackles and also has an interception. ' Up front the Bald Eagles are led by veteran defensive tackle Scott Govern who has been credited with 44 stops and one sack this season. In the secondary, LH is anchored by the play of free safety Dwayne Tooles and strong safety Dave Lauderman. Tooles leads the squad with 3 interceptions and also has added 35 tackles while Lauderman, a three-year letterwinner, ranks behind the two linebackers on the team with 47 total stops. Taking a look at the Bald Eagle offense shows a team centering around the option game. Entering the contest, the LH offense is averaging 119.2 yards per game rushing and 65.5 ypg in the air. Directing the offensive attack will be quarterback Jimmy Broadway. The sophomore from Miami, FL, has con­ nected on 30 of 65 passes for 355 yards and 2 touchdowns while also rushing for a net of 150 yards on 49 carries and a pair of scores. The key to the running game continues to be half­ back Guy Wade, who sat out the Maine battle but is expected back against the Scots. In five games, he has rushed for 416 yards on 107 attempts and 2 touchdowns. He has also caught 4 passes for 40 yards. The Bald Eagles top receiver has been speedster Jesse Cleare. His 13 catches for 135 yards is best for the Bald Eagles. In all, the Scot defense will look to contain the wide open option offense, a look they have not seen yet this season. Leading the hit parade for Edinboro continues to be All-American Michael Willis. Through 6 games, Willis has been credited with a team-high 53 tackles. Also playing well in the Scot secondary has been sophomores Wade Smith and Mark Anderson and freshman GeorJ Lewis. Smith, a comerback, totals 38 tackles, 1 inter­ ception, 1 fumble recovery (on the goal line at Clarion), and a team-high of 7 pass breakups. Anderson, at strong s^ety, is sixth on the squad with 35 tackles while Lewis (23 stops, 4 breakups) continues to mature at the other comerback spot. The Scots linebacking crew continues to be anchored by seniors John Williams and Michael Wayne and junior A1 Donahue. Williams recorded 16 tackles against Clarion and has 47 on the year while Wayne ranks just behind with 46 tackles. The pair of linebackers have combined for 4 intercep­ tions and 6 breakups in '89. Donahue, playing extremely well as of late, has chipped in with 38 tackles, 1 interception, 1 fumble recovery and 1 sack. Up front, the Scots continue to get very good play out of tackles Matt Miller and Chip Conrad and ends Jeff Jacobs and Brian Keaton. Miller has contributed 33 tackles and a team high 6 sacks for the Scots while Conrad has added 24 tackles and a pair of sacks. Jacobs (24 total stops) played a great game at Clarion last week while Keaton (24 stops, 4 for loss, 2 sacks) continues to make the big play for the Scots. The kicking duties continue to be secured by placekicker Darren Weber and punter Bill Burford. Weber has con­ nected on 14 of 18 extra points while Burford has upped his average to 37.2 yards per punt on 19 kicks. Next up for the Plaid is a trek over the state to battle nationally ranked Shippensburg on the 21st of October. 3 EDINBORO UNIVERSITY FIVETIiyiES THEFXJN WHO’S THE BOSS? EVERY WEEKDAY AT 5:00pm WJETTV@) After 125 years of service to the tri-state area, Edinboro experienced its most significant change in history on July 1, 1983, when the College became Edinboro University of Pennsylvania. Founded as a private academy in 1857, Edinboro University has continued its surge to the forefront as one of the leading educational institutions in western Pennsylvania. Situated on a sprawling 585-acre campus in the scenic resort community of Edinboro, the University is within 100 miles of the educational and cultural centers of Buffalo, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh. It is just 15 miles south of Erie, the third largest city in Pennsylvania, and easily accessible from all directions by interstates 79,80 and 90. Edinboro now makes contributions in the fields of education, government, environmental improvement, urban and mral 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 Libraiy, a mod­ em seven-story structure 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. ‘i 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 intemation^ 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.

As chairman of the American Association of State 7 i COMMUNITY RELATIONS DAY 1989 ATHLETIC DIRECTOR JIM McDONALD vs. the Buffalo Bills annual rookie scrimmage, which has been a yearly mid-summer highlight 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. 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 ToumamenL His teams set 27 University records and made 19 post-season appearances while four of his players were named All-Americans. Prior to accepting his position at Edinboro, McDonald served as assistant basketball coach in Erie, Pa. He is a 1956 graduate of Bridgeport High School in his home town of Bridgeport, West Virginia. In 1960 he received a degree in chemistry and 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. Edinboro Community Relations Day is the special day each year when Edinboro University salutes the spirit of community, trust and confidence that has existed between the University and the people of Edinboro for more than 132 years. By special tribute on this day, and in recognition of the Council for Advancement and Support of Education's "National Higher Education Week" of October 8-14, Edinboro Community Relations Day 1989 also recognizes our local partners in education, the teachers and administrators of the General McLane School District and the professional staff of the Northwest Tri-County Intermediate Unit. 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. EDINBORO UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA 8 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. Sox Harrison Stadium is the site of the Cleveland Browns 9 A LOOK AT THE 1989 SEASON BREAKFASi; LUNCH, DINNER HOURS Sun. - Thurs. 6:00 a.m. - Midnight Fri. and Sat. Open 24 Hours 10 290 Plum Street Edinboro, PA 734-4600 holder for yards passing (1,903) and attempts (276) in one season, set in 1987. 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 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 Hollman (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 to Granville 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. Hollman then moved on to Fremont Ross High School as head coach for the 1974 and 1975 seasons, where his squad recorded 15 wins against three setbacks and two ties. Fremont was the Buckeye Conference champs in '74, unbeaten at 9-0-1. Tom Hollman 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. 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). "Last season was a very exciting one and we are sim­ ply 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. In 1981, Hollman took an assistant coaching spot with Ball State University which he held through the '84 cam­ paign. Then, beginning in 1985 Hollman held the defensive coordinator position at Ohio University. "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." Coach Hollman resides in Edinboro with his wife, Candi, and their four children, Mari (17), Jon (14), Tim (13), and Denise (11). The Scots finished 4-1-1 in the PS AC 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.

My initial goal for this team when I got here was to make football an enjoyable environment for the team and coaching staff," Hollman added.

In her position, she has a number of responsibilities, ranging from typing of correspondence to other coaches and recruits, to coordination of student workers and the distribu­ tion of tasks. McCullum also has the duty of h^dling the correspon­ dence for Edinboro's wrestling and women's softball programs. Handling incoming phone calls and greeting visitors, Angela is often the person who gives visitors to Edinboro their first impression of Fighting Scot football. Angela is engaged to be married on October 7 of this year. t almost goes without saying that the days of all-brawn, no-brains football are long gone, if in fact they ever existed. Football has become a think­ ing man's game in many respects, par­ ticularly for the quarterback, who these days must be able to do far more than throw a ball. In just a matter of sec­ onds he must be able to recognize—or "read"—a defensive scheme, determine its weaknesses and then attack it. "The hardest part of a quarterback's job is reading, no question about it," said BYU quarterback coach Norm Chow. "You've got to have a person who can make a deci­ sion, who can think fast." With the proliferation of complicated, ever-changing defenses—which, in turn, were responses to complicated, everchanging offenses—the reading of defens­ es has become common at the collegiate level in the last couple of decades. It was, no doubt, further necessitated by the emer­ gence of the passing game. Now there is a game within a game out there on the football field, a gridiron chess > match, with moves and countermoves in f which the offense can respond to varying ^ defenses during the action. The problem I « > _______ o ^ When taking a pre-snap look at the defense, the c quarterback quickly determines whether his > receivers will draw zone or man-to-man coverage. 18 REQUIRED READING for fans is that they see a big play but rarely recognize the plotting and thinking that led to it, or why it worked. Here are some things fans can watch for from the stands to get an idea of how a quarterback reads a defense—what it is he's looking for out there—and the strate­ gy behind it. The first stage of the reading process is the pre-snap look, or the PSL. It's just what it says. Before the snap of the ball the quar­ terback studies the defensive alignment, trying to determine what type of defense it will play. The first thing a quarterback must determine is whether the defense will play man-to-man pass coverage or zone coverage—^this will decide who his prima­ ry and secondary receivers are, at least at this stage of the process—and what, if any, additional pressure he will get from pass rushers. To read a defense at the line of scrimmage the quarterback checks the alignment of certain key defensive players, most commonly the defensive backs, and particularly the safeties. As the quarterback lines up, put your­ self in his shoes and see if you can spot defensive tendencies. ■Some tip-offs for man-to-man cover­ age: (1) the defensive backs are aligned more tightly with (closer to) the receivers; (2) the cornerbacks are aligned on the inside of the wide receiver, closer to the middle of the field, using the sideline to their advantage; (3) the strong safety is aligned directly in front of the tight end. If it is a man-to-man defense, then the quarterback will try to determine which type it is. Man across the board? Or is the free safety free to roam? If the free safety has a man-to-man assignment, he will have to leave the middle of the field to get closer to his assigned receiver. ■Some tip-offs for zone coverage: (1) the defensive backs are usually deeper; (2) the defensive backs tend to look in at the quarterback (in man-to-man they tend to look at the receiver they're assigned to cover); (3) the strong safety is generally aligned about four yards outside of, and five yards up the field from, the tight end. If it is a zone defense, what kind of zone is it? Is it a two-deep, with two defensive backs aligned on the hash marks, or is it a three-deep, with the free safety in the mid­ dle of the field? TOUCHDOWN ILLUSTRATED ■Some tip-offs for blitz pressure: (1) Is the free safety in the middle of the field? If the strong safety, who normally covers the tight end, is about to blitz, the free safety will cheat over a few yards to the strong side so he can be in position to cover the tight end for his teammate. (2) If the defense runs a zone, chances are there won't be a blitz because the linebackers and defensive backs are need­ ed for pass coverage. If it's man-to-man, there will probably be extra pressure, because with only five eligible receivers there are more defenders free to pursue the quarterback. (3) Is there an overload? "Most blocking schemes are set up so that there are three blockers on either side of the center," said Utah quarterback coach Jack Riley. "If there is a fourth rusher [on one side], it must be recognized." (4) There are some subtler indications, as well. Riley tells his quarterbacks to watch the eyes of the safeties and linebackers and their movement. "If he [the defender] has a menacing look in his eyes, or if he's hedging up to the line, he's probably coming [after the quarterback]," said Riley. "If he looks pas­ sive, if he's back on his feet, he's probably going to play zone." The pre-snap look can provide any number of the above clues, but there is one big problem for the offense to consider: A good defense won't show the quarterback what it really plans to do. In fact, it will disguise its defensive scheme, that is, give the quarterback one look at the line of scrimmage, and then do something else after the snap of the ball. Said Riley, "The defense will do any­ thing to con^se the quarterback—fake blitzes, stemming [movement], show zone but play man. It makes it really tough." There are some things the quarterback can do before the snap of the ball to force a defense to show its true intentions. He can, for instance, put a receiver in motion. If a defensive back follows him across the field, that indicates a man-to-man defense. Use of motion can also force a defense to settle into position. Sometimes a quarterback, to counter a defense that is shifting and changing posi­ tions to confuse his reads, will "set" a defense early by putting his hands under the center quickly or by going on a quick snap count. On the other hand, some teams will go on a late snap count, hoping to learn something about where the defense is going by its movement.

Once the quarterback has decided what the defense will do, based on the PSL and the movement keys, the next step, of course, is to exploit it. Here are a few ways in which a quarterback can utilize his reads in response to a particular defense. Zone Defense: Keep in mind that there are basically five underneath (short) zones and three deep zones. This means that if a team uses four players on the pass rush, there is one open zone—if only a quarterback can find it. Each zone defense has an area of vulnerability. Thus, the key point is, if it's a zone defense, the type of zone determines primary and sec­ ondary receivers. For example, if the quarterback Recog­ nizes a two-deep zone, he realizes the defense is taking away the underneath (short) passing game by covering the five underneath zones with an equal number of defenders.

TOUCHDOWN ILLUSTRATED instance, like to call—or package—two plays in the huddle, based on what they think the opponent will do in a particular situation (the down, distance and yard line), say, a draw play for the blitz or a long pass for a two-deep zone. The quarterback will decide, based on what he sees at the line of scrimmage, which of the two plays to use and he will signal it orally to his teammates. Automatics (or sight adjustments) are a variation of packaging. They are "either/or" options built into the called play, based on the reaction of the defense after the snap. The choices are simplified for the quarterback and receivers: "Go here if the defense goes there; go there if the defense goes here." One common automatic for the blitz, for example, is the "hot" receiver. If a blitz is detected, either at the line of scrimmage or after the snap, the called play usually has a built-in response. Instead of blocking the blitzing player, the offense will leave the quarterback to deal with him on his own, hoping he can unload the ball quickly to the designated "hot" receiver—usually the slotback—who, having spotted the blitz, automatically alters his route and races to the spot vacated by the blitzing defender. There are two things to consid­ er here: Both the quarterback and the receiver must recognize the blitz, and, as Sweeney said, "The quarterback will probably get hit." Nevertheless, Sweeney said, "Hot receivers are built into most modem pass pjjays." Sometimes the quarterback has free reign and can completely alter or change the play at the line of scrimmage by using audibles. "You have a scouting report so you know what the defense likes to do in certain situations," explained Sweeney. "You set up certain responses to those ten­ dencies with automatics and packages. But if they do something you didn't expect, that wasn't in your game plan, then you use audibles to get out of trouble." Audibles can also be used to get into a play that takes better advantage of a defensive weakness, but quarterbacks are cautious about using audibles. "It's a question of recognizing the defense," said Chow. And so goes the game within the game. About the Author: Doug Robinson covers Brigham Young University football for The Deseret News in Salt Lake City. 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 contribute 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 cumuiative 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 foul, 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.

Considered by many to be one of the greatest power runners of all time, he played in three Super Bowls and was named MVP of Super Bowl VIII in 1974, when he rushed 33 times for a Super Bowl-record 145 yards. Csonka also played in five NFL all-star games. Now a resident of Neptune Beach, Fla., he is pursuing a career as a sportscaster. In the highly competitive Southeastern Conference, Archie Manning achieved one of the game's greatest honors in 1975, when he was named the SEC's Quarterback of the Quarter Century. A 6-3 211-pounder who graduated from Mississippi in 1970, he was named MVP of both the Gator Bowl and the Sugar Bowl. An All-America in 1969, Manning broke several Mississippi career records, including completions (412), passing yardage (4,753) and touchdowns (31), before being drafted in the first round by the New Orleans Saints—and by major league base­ ball's Chicago White Sox as a shortstop. Manning has business interests in New Orleans and is heavily involved in community and charity work in both Louisiana and Mississippi. Roman Gabriel is considered the greatest field general in North Carolina State history.

The 6-4, 230-pound Gabriel played through the 1972 season with the Rams and was selected to the Pro Bowl four times. In 1968 he earned Pro Bowl MVP honors. When he was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles in 1973, he was the top-ranked passer in Rams history. Gabriel now lives in Pineville, N.C., and is president of the Roman Gabriel Sports Center. He is also associated with the George Shinn Group in Char­ lotte, N.C. Chalmers "Bvmp” Elliott has achieved fame as both a player and a coach, and since 1970 has served as Iowa's athletic director. After his college career at Purdue was interrupted by U.S. Marine Corps duty during World War II, Elliott transferred to Michigan in 1946. The fol­ lowing year he earned All-America hon­ ors and was named MVP of the Big Ten. At 5-10, 175 pounds, the elusive halfback "bumped" off more than one tackier en route to additional yardage. After assistant coaching stints at Oregon State, Iowa and Michigan, Elliott took over as the Wolverines' head coach in 1959 and guided the team to a Big Ten title and a 34-7 Rose Bowl win over Oregon State, one of his former schools.

In 1946 he returned to college, choosing use. As a Trojan he twice won national lineman-of-the-week honors and was named to the All-Opponent team by Notre Dame, Ohio State and Michigan. The co­ captain of use's 1948 Rose Bowl team, the 6-1 195-pounder later played pro foot­ ball with the New York Yankees. Cleary is active in the National Football Foundation's Orange County chapter and is chairman of the board of the R.J. Noble Construction Company. He is also active in civic and church affairs. John Green, a native of Shelbyville, Ky., lettered three years at Army and twice won All-America acclaim. The 5-11 190pounder played one season at ’fulane before his appointment to West Point. After graduating in 1946 Green remained on Col. Earl "Red" Blaik's Army staff for six years and then went on active duty, eventually resigning with the rank of captain to become an assistant coach at Tulane and then Florida. He later took over the head coaching reins at Vanderbilt for four years. After retiring from coaching Green joined the AVCO Corporation in Nashville, Tenn., and remained with the company until his death. He was honored by the Middle Tennessee Chapter of the National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame prior to his death. Matt Hazeltine was a two-time AllAmerica at California, where he played for legendary coach Pappy Waldorf. Hazeltine continued the "H" tradition at Cal, following All-America centers Babe Horrell and Bob Herwig. The 6-2 201pounder went on to play 14 seasons with the San Francisco 49ers and one year with the New York Giants. Between seasons in his NFL career, Hazeltine developed an insurance agency in Los Altos, Calif. He died in 1987 at the age of 53 of amy­ otrophic lateral sclerosis, known as Lou Gehrig's disease. He was one of three for­ mer 49ers stricken with the illness.

The 6-1 175r^pounder also played in the first College All-Star Game, in which the collegians battled the NFL's Chicago Bears to a scoreless tie. Manske served for the U.S. Navy in the South Pacific during World War II, and when he returned he served as an assistant to Clark Shaughnessy at Maryland and later to Pappy Waldorf at California, when the Bears went 38-1-1 and played in three straight Rose Bowls.

The native of Deadwood, S.D., retired from coaching in 1975 and is current­ ly in business in Seattle. He is also involved in Little League and community work. Avrelius Thomas, Ohio State's ace 202pound lineman, played both ways for the Buckeyes, winning All-America honors in 1957. He was a three-year starter on two championship teams, including one that went to the Rose Bowl. The 6-1 native of Muskogee, Okla., grew up in Columbus, Ohio, where he was a high school standout before moving across town to enroll at Ohio State. Thomas has been in the insurance field since his graduation in 1958. Joe Aillet, who died in 1971, was head coach and athletic director at Louisiana Tech from 1940-70. An orphan, Aillet was raised by a Catholic priest in Louisiana. He graduated from the University of Southwestern Louisiana in 1927 and coached high school football in Haynesville, La., for nine years. After four years as an assistant to Bemie Moore at LSU, Aillet was offered the top job at Louisiana Tech. The Bulldogs won eight of the first 12 Gulf States Conference championships under Aillet’s leadership. Among his recruits was quarterback Terry Bradshaw, who later went on to star for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Aillet retired with a record of 151-86-8. Louisiana Tech has named its stadium and a scholastic fund in Aillet's honor. Sid Gillmon coached in college and the NFL for 35 years, and he once received perhaps the ultimate compliment from the legendary Paul "Bear" Bryant, whom Gillman coached against when he was at Cincinnati and Bryant was at Kentucky: "He has the best football mind I've ever met," Bryant said, although he added, "but I don't think he ever beat me." Gillman beat quite a few of his coach­ ing foes, though—en route to a 79-18-2 career record—at Miami (Ohio), where he went 30-6-1, and at Cincinnati (49-12-1). He left the collegiate ranks in 1955 for 31 years in the pros, with the Los Angeles Rams, San Diego Chargers, Houston Oilers, Dallas Cowboys, Chicago Bears and Philadelphia Eagles. He also coached the Oklahoma Outlaws in the United States Football League. Among the high­ lights of his pro career were four AFC Western Division titles for the Chargers, including three straight (1963-65), and two conference championships. Gillman, who is also a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, played college football at Ohio State and was co-captain of the 1933 Buckeyes. Frank James Howord has long been regarded as one of college football's most colorful coaches. He spent his youth on an Alabama farm playing cow-pasture base­ ball, and that rural background left its imprint. But he was deadly serious about football, a game he played or coached for most of his adult life. Warren Woodson, head coach 203 wins at five schoois, (^73 After playing for three years at Alabama (1928-30), Howard became the offensive line coach at Clemson, a job he held until 1940, when he inherited the head coaching job from fellow Hall of Famer Jess Neely. He guided the Tigers for 30 years, compil­ ing a 161-118-2 record. During that time Clemson went to six bowl games—the 1949 and '52 Gator, the 1951 and '57 Orange, the 1959 Sugar and the 1959 Bluebonnet. Howard retired from Clemson in 1974 after a 44-year association with the school. The developer of the T-formation with a wingback attack, Warrea Woodsoa was named college-division coach of the year in 1960, after directing New Mexico State to an 11-0 season, including a 20-13 victojy over Utah State in the Sun Bowl, t A 1924 graduate of Baylor, Woodson was all-conference in basketball and the captain of the tennis team. He played freshman football and partici­ pated one year at the varsity level, but did not win his letter. Woodson then moved on to Springfield (Mass.) College, where he earned a degree in physical education and learned the Tformation fundamentals from Knute Rockne during a two-week football coaching clinic. He coached at Texarkana College, Conway (Ark.) State and HardinSimmons, and after serving in the military during World War II he took over at New Mexico State, where he enjoyed his great­ est success. He concluded his coaching career at Trinity College in 1974, finishing with a career mark of 203-94-14. •■» \ / ft m , 4 > r It will change the way you think about Volkswagen, very quickly. ■ 1 mem ¥ TOUCHDOWN ILLUSTRATED Always observe local speed and traffic regulations.

Football—real football—is played in "The Pit," otherwise known as the line of scrimmage. On every snap the line becomes a maelstrom of bodies ready to swallow up the player who makes the first mistake. For every action there must be an immediate and forceful reaction, or someone will gain an edge. A series of split-second decisions must be made, which requires incredible concentration and intensity. Not only is line play men­ tally demanding, it is the most violent facet of football. "Backs might get hammered, but not on every play," said Nebraska defensive line coach Charlie McBride. "On the line, it's got to be done with everything you've got on every play.

TOUCHDOWN ILLUSTRATED LIFE IN THE PIT An explosive first step is sonwthing coaches look for in a defensive lineman. tal and physical toughness and not submit to anything." Given the choice, most college coaches want to win with defense. Good defense begins with good defensive-line play. Not only are linemen the first with a chance to stop the run, but also the first with a chance to stop the pass. If they make things difficult for the quarterback, the secondary doesn't have to make a play. Defensive linemen also make the supreme sacrifice. More often than not, their assignment is to occupy as many offensive linemen as possible. That way the linebackers, with better vision and the mobility to see and chase the ball, remain free. It's no coincidence that linebackers almost always lead a team in tackles. "We like to create a double-team situa­ tion whenever possible," said UCLA line TOUCHDOWN ILLUSTRATED coach Mike Waufle of a lineman's job. "It's kind of like a K-mart blue-light spe­ cial—two for the price of one." An athlete must be a special breed in order to play the defensive line. "One thing I look for is competitive­ ness, a real never-give-up type of kid," said McBride. "I look for a kid who sacri­ fices. The great ones I've been around are the ones who do more than their share off the field." "You have to have a defensive tempera­ ment," added Georgia defensive line coach Steve Greer. "I look for a player who's got a full motor. He's going to be around the ball, wherever it is. It's not always the biggest and strongest who are the good linemen. You've got to find the ball.''' Finding the right mental approach is one thing. Finding the right mental approach plus speed, quickness and a 6-6, 275-pound frame is something else. As bilking rules change to help offenses, defensive linemen are evolving into sleek, sculptured athletes. "You see more good defensive linemen as streamlined athletic types now," said McBride. Offensive linemen, however, can be 290-pound fireplugs who sit back and use their hands to make defensive linemen fight their way around them. According to Tulane line coach Bill Shaw, a lineman needs three attributes: "Speed, speed and speed. You can devel­ op toughness, but speed, quickness and reaction ability are things that the great ones have." And Shaw knows something about great linemen. While at Tennessee he coached Reggie White, now an all-pro for the Philadelphia Eagles. Normally coacjhes want their tackles to be tall, mainly to create vision problems for the quarterback and to knock down passes. Sometimes consistently disrupting a quarterback's passing lanes is more effective than a handful of sacks. Noseguards are smaller, stockier, quicker players who can take on blocks. They are double-teamed for probably 90 percent of every game. "We look for an explosive guy who can disrupt the center's block," said McBride. "Danny Noonan [a former Nebraska AllAmerica] had tremendous leg explosion. Tackles are the speed and finesse guys." Defensive linemen may come in all shapes and sizes, but defensive lines come in either odd or even alignments. Even fronts are generally known as "gapcontrol" defenses, meaning that each play­ er is responsible for a specific gap (the lane between offensive players). In odd LIFE IN THE PIT fronts players line up directly opposite an offensive player. Although many teams currently deploy multiple fronts—shifting back and forth from odd to even, depending on the game situation and the offensive alignment— Georgia used the Split-60 for most of its 25 years under Vince Dooley, but is using a true 3-4 this season under new head coach Ray Goff. "You can play a smaller, quicker defen­ sive line in the Split-60," said Georgia's most college teams use a five-man or a three-man front. They are essentially the same, though some schools designate "ends" in a 5-2 formation, while others designate "outside linebackers" in a 3-4. The responsibilities are often similar. The down linemen are a noseguard and two tackles. Usually the defense's best tackle lines up on the left side. Most offenses are right-handed and will run to the defense's left more often. Even-front teams deploy four down linemen, set symmetrically on either side of the ball. The inside players are called guards or tackles, depending on a team's terminology. The outside linemen are called tackles or ends. Names for these defenses run from Wide-Tackle Six to Split-60. "Our Wide-Tackle Six gives us a lot of flexibility, with offenses becoming more wide open and using one-back sets," said Tulane's Shaw. "The ability to adapt is eas­ ier in an even front because of the dis­ placement of your personnel." "We attack, feel the block and play what we see," said Greer. "Our philosophy is that every play is a pass," said Nebraska's McBride. "That way we come off the ball and we're on the move." Defensive lines can further disrupt the offense by utilizing a variety of "stunts," which are veritable defensive plays. In a common odd-front stunt, the three down linemen will slant toward a particular side of the ball in coordination with the linebackers. In an even front the two inside players may crisscross. Stunts and blitzes—where linebackers shoot into specific gaps—are used in passing situa­ tions, though some teams, like South Carolina last year, used them to effectively bigger people to cover the offensive tack­ disrupt runniq^ attacks.

They rely on the tackles are usually in a three-point precision, as evidenced by the saying, "A stance (one hand on the ground), while missed assignment will get you beat the noseguard is in a four-point stance quicker than a mismatch." All four down linemen are usually in a (both hands on the ground) as close as possible to the center. Teams that deploy four-point stance.

Defensive linemen the offense. Others want 60 percent of the charge hard on the snap and then react to weight toward the front. Shaw won't let his team use the term movement from the offense, in either the direction of a particular lineman or a "read." To him it implies passivity. "You sit down and 'read,'" said Shaw. "We say back, including the quarterback. The noseguard can expect to be double- 'react' because it's a more aggressive term." Shaw teaches his linemen to "react" teamed on nearly every play.

No matter what the front, the operative word in defensive line play is "hands." Linemen must use their hands to gain con­ trol of the offensive player. They use their hands to attack the blocker and then to shed him. "We teach inside control of the blocker," said UCLA's Waufle. "The idea is to get your hands inside of his hands, gain lever­ age and control him." Added McBride, "Hand strength and wrist strength are imperative. When you take on a blocker from the side, you use your forearm, but when you take him on from the front, you use your hands." Stopping the Pass to supply pressure. This is where speed becomes so important. Offensive linemen are so big nowadays that running through them is next to impossible. Defensive linemen will employ a variety of head and hip fakes, as well as liberal use of their hands, to throw the offensive player out of the way. "You have to be explosive, destroy a lineman's center of gravity, be relentless and work away from pressure," said McBride. To be their most effective, linemen must still work in unison, staying in their desig­ nated lanes and not giving the quarterback room to escape. Outside linemen, particularly in odd fronts, are so-called "rush-contain" players. Their responsibility is to rush the passer while at the same time containing the out­ side, not allowing the quarterback to escape. injuries for the entire season. Necks and shoulders are the most susceptible. But the advent of knee braces and a change in blocking rules have helped to reduce the number of knee injuries. One given in every game is holding. An offensive lineman holds on practically every play. With so much commotion in the middle, it's virtually impossible for an offi­ cial to make a clear call. Besides, the poten­ tial is there for a penalty on every snap. Defenses can counter by wearing extratight jerseys that make it more difficult to be grabbed, or even by taking karate train­ ing to promote hand strength and quick­ ness. In a way, every confrontatipn is hand-to-hand combat. "We don't let players gripe about hold­ ing," said Waufle. "It's a part of the game,".'asserted McBride. "I don't complain about it unless they flat tackle us." n an odd front noseguards usually have little chance to reach the pass because the pocket is so well-protected in the mid­ n addition to all that a defensive lineman dle. Some teams, like Georgia last year, must deal with in simply performing his even dropped their noseguard back to help assignments, there are several other fac­ cover short passes across the middle. tors that can affect his performance.

Letter Jackets, the traditional symbols of school spirit and of the commitment and sacrifice shared by teammates, are enjoying a revival in popularity. etter jackets are back. They are hip. You know this because Eddie Murphy is wearing them in the movies. You know this because sales are up. L I j You know this because you are in London, far across the sea, and you come upon a teenage, punk girl with twotone hair—and she is wearing the letter jacket from the University of Cincinnati. "Uh, excuse me," you say. "Are you from Ohio?" "Naaow," says the girl with two-tone hair. "I picked the jacket up in a second­ hand shop. I thought it was just ratty." Just "ratty"? Fine. Just ratty. Hot or hip, or just ratty. Pick your own adjectiye. But know this: Letter sweaters and letter jack­ ets, which have been with us almost since the opening kickoff of college football, will not be punted into oblivion anytime soon. Think about it. Letter sweaters have sur­ vived all sorts of chuckholes and derail­ ments along the fashion trail. They have survived high-button collars and bellbottom trousers. They have survived rag­ time and the Beatles. They haven't always been the hippest thing to wear—during the late '60s and the '70s they went into a major slump—^but they never approached extinction. People have always worn them. And when people are done wearing them, they store them in their personal archives (translation: the attic) as if they by Mark Purdy As sales of letter jackets and sweaters indicate, it's still cool to be true to your school. were precious metal. With the exception of a rogue jacket or two that may show up on the punk streets of England, you simply don't see any letter jackets or letter sweaters in the Salvation Army stores of America. Do you? Of course not. The sweaters and jackets are too valuable for that. Go ahead. Ask their owners. Jesse Jackson still has his blue and gold letter jacket from North Carolina A&T. Burt Reynolds has his gar­ net and gold monogram from Florida State. You can check it out. Call up Larry Kelley, the 1936 Heisman Trophy winner from Yale. He still has his blue sweater with the big white Y stitched on the front. Kelley has stashed it away for safekeeping at his Florida home. "It's a little moth-eaten, but it's in the closet," Kelley said. "I get it out and hang it on the wall now and then." "When was the last time you tried it on?" "About 65 pounds ago," Kelley said with a laugh. Call up Archie Griffin, the two-time Heisman winner from Ohio State. He has an even better story about his jacket. "My dad has it," Griffin said. "I wore it my freshman year, then left it at my par­ ents' house. One day I saw my dad wear­ ing my jacket and told him just to keep it. He's had it ever since. In fact, he still wears it now and then." The question is, why do people grow so attached to these blessed things? What does it all mean? According to Dr. Thomas Tutko, a sports psychologist from San Jose State, the answer lies in our innermost desires. "It has to do with identity," said Tutko. "Most of us want to identify with some­ thing. Oh, there isa small handful of peo­ ple who don't want to be identified with anybody or anything. They want to be hermits—loners. But the vast majority of us want to identify, want to feel committed to something. "And there's one other thing," Tutko explained. "The greater the degree of sac­ rifice, the greater the degree of commit­ ment. Guys on a football team share a special experience. They sacrifice, they win, they lose. A letter sweater is tied to a whole series of those memories. And it allows people to proclaim their identity to the world." TOUCHDOWN ILLUSTRATED 1989 Eord Motor Company No ifs, ands or buts.

FORD MERCURY LINCOLN LEHER JACKETS Tutko's theories coincide, more or less, with the views of those other well-known American psychologists, the Beach Boys. You may recall that in their 1963 treatise, "Be True to Your School," the boys offered their own views on the phe­ nomenon by singing, "I've got the letter on my sweater, with the letter in front ... I like to wear it now, when I cruise around the other parts of town." Indeed, those cruising days of the '50s and '60s may have been the salad days of letter jackets and sweaters—although the concept of letter sweaters predates the con­ cept of cruising by more than six decades. No conclusive proof exists, but legend has it that letter sweaters were invented at Yale University in 1872. Members of the Yale football team began wearing a Y monogram on their uniforms. Then it became a tradition for the team's captain to have his picture taken in front of a wall on campus while wearing a formal blue sweater with a T on the front. Soon, other schools began to follow Yale's lead. This, at least, is the version accepted by histori­ ans at the College Football Hall of Fame, as well as by Jim Campbell, a former his­ torian at the Pro Football Hall of Fame. "It's one of those deals that nobody kept records on because nobody realized the historical significance of it," said Campbell, who is now the alumni director at Susquehanna University. "I do know one thing for a fact," Campbell said. "The first lettermen's club was organized by Amos Alonzo Stagg at the University of Chicago in 1905. He once wrote that when he was attending Yale in 1888, there was a letter system in place, although there was no official cere­ mony involved. Therefore, when Stagg became the coach at Chicago, he orga­ nized the Order of the C, and held an annual dinner to honor the lettermen.'.' From there the idea spread across the nation like some giant chenille chain letter. Across the nation schools began honoring athletes with monogranuned A's (Arkansas, Amherst) and monogranuned FCs (Kansas, Kentucky) and even monogrammed Q's (Queens, Quincy). In the years before World War II, sweaters were the preferred means for dis­ playing the letters. The now-familiar pile jackets with leather sleeves did not become popular until the '50s. And once those leather-sleeved jackets became popular, nothing could stop them. They became the symbol of an era. Guys wore them to pick up girls. Girls wore their boyfriends' jack­ ets to show their romantic devotion. This The longest streak in campus wear, Yale's letter sweater tradition remains strong after 100 years. lasted until the mid-'60s, when the political times suddenly made letter jackets a posi­ tively square proposition. Pat Mclnally, a Harvard wide receiver from 1972-74, remembers receiving his letter sweater and immediately sticking it into his chest of drawers, where it stayed. "I never even put it on," said Mclnally, who went on to an 11-year pro career. "It just didn't seem like the cool thing to do, you know, wearing it around campus, even though it was a great-looking sweater." The pendulum began to swing back in the late '70s, spurred by the popularity of television's "Happy Days" series, which was peppered with letter jackets. It became socially acceptable to wear your school loyalty on your sleeve again, especially at universities in the Midwest. Not everywhere, though. At the University of Miami, the country's most tropical Division I school, neither sweaters nor jackets are awarded. The reason is obvi­ ous: Palm trees and wool don't mix. One day an art gallery will wise up and organize a display of letter sweaters and jackets for the world to enjoy. It could include the classics (Michigan's maize and blue) and the new wave (Idaho's silver and gold) and the environmentally sound (Tulane's olive green and sky blue). Examples of fine design, every one. TOUCHDOWN ILLUSTRATED But. . . well, let's be frank. There have been some bone-ugly jackets over the years, too. Not that you'd ever get Jerry Thoreson to admit it. He's the president of Centralia Knitting Mills in Centralia, Wash., one of the nation's largest manufacturers of award jackets. Thoreson's company cranks out up to 20,(XK) of them a year, and he's never met a color combination he doesn't like. "You've never had an order that struck you as strange?" he was asked. "Never," Thoreson answered. "Well, one time this school—I'd rather not tell you the name—^wanted a royal blue jacket with black and kelly green stripes. It doesn't sound so good, does it? But I'll tell you, it turned out to be kind of pretty once we got it done." Thoreson has worked for Centralia, his family's company, since 1946. As he has watched sweaters and jackets roll off his assembly line, has he thought of all the great athletes who might wear them? Not actually, he said. Instead, he thinks about their timelessness. "Right now," Thoreson said over the phone, "I've got an old letter sweater here, draped over a chair in my office. It's from 1943, I think, from the University of Washington. The cuffs are worn out and really frayed. But someone brought it in here to have it repaired because he's got a class reunion pretty soon, and he wants to wear the sweater. Isn't that something?" Meanwhile, he believes the jacket rack­ et has an extremely bright future. "They're bigger than ever," Thoreson said. "We ha^^ 20 percent increase in jacket sales Idst year. I think female ath­ letes are really starting to buy them, which has helped. But I also think sweaters are making a comeback. They started going downhill at the end of the '40s, when those jackets with the leather sleeves got big. To counteract that, my dad started making sweaters with leather sleeves. But they didn't take hold." Thank goodness. "So it's been jackets for the last 30 years," said Thoreson. "But now it seems to be switching back. The last few years we've been making a lot more sweaters. A lot more. I think it's kind of nice." Kind of nice? Just ratty is more like it.

Located in Kings Island, Ohio, just 20 miles north of Cincinnati, the College Football Hall of Fame enshrines the great and near great, the players and their coach­ es, the history and the tradition of colle­ giate football. Honoring men from more than 100 schools, the Hall of Fame salutes the per­ formers from the largest schools in the nation and some of the smaller—Hobart, Centre and the University of the South, to name a few. Schools ranging from Alabama to Yale have contributed names to the shrine, which includes the likes of Hickman, a star Tennessee lineman who later coached at Yale and became famous for quoting lengthy Shakespearean sonnets and scenes.

HOUSE OF EDINBORO FACTORY DESIGNER SHOWROOM ROLTFE 6N EDINBORO Hours: Weekdays 8-4 Saturday 9-1 More than 500 players and 100 coaches are en­ shrined in the Collie Football Hall of Fame, which is located in Kings Island, Ohio, near Cincinnati. Grange, the brilliant Illinois back, was a three-time All-America who earned immortality by scoring five touchdowns and passing for another in an Illinois win over Michigan on the day Illinois' Memorial Stadium was dedicated in 1924. Colorado's "Whizzer" White is includ­ ed for his exploits, although he is now better known as Byron White, Associate Justice of the United States Supreme TOUCHDOWN ILLUSTRATED 22 Court. Notre Dame's George Gipp, Coach Knute Rockne and the Four Horsemen backfield are there, too, as is Jay Berwanger, the last great star at the University of Chicago before the Maroons dropped football in 1939 and the first winner of the Heisman Trophy. Also enshrined is Alabama's Johnny Mack Brown, a fabled football star before he became known to two generations of HALL OF FAME Unlimited free upgrades ^‘Upgrade and Free* Two of my favorite words.” start at 5,000 miles with TWA's Frequent Flight Bonus Program.

It salutes Walter Camp, the coach who organized and promoted the game in the 19th century and created the All-America team. Amos Alonzo Stagg, "The Grand Old Man of the College Game," is honored both as a player and a coach, joining other coaching greats like Pop Warner, Red Blaik, Lou Little, Dana X.

Frankie Albert of Stanford, the superb left-handed passing quarterback of the era just before World War II, and Albie Booth, Yale's little "watch-fob" quarterback of a decade earlier, are there. Films of famous games, primitive early equipment and a computer loaded with facts about the game's history are also part of the Hall of Fame. Another useful fea­ ture is a research library that offers not only books, but programs and artifacts from the game's formative years. Opened in 1978, the Hall of Fame is the culmination of many years of effort by the National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame to develop a suitable facility to honor the history of college football. Originally, it was hoped that the Hall of Fame could be located in New Brunswick, N.J., where the game general­ ly acknowledged to be the first in college football took place in 1869, matching Rutgers and Princeton. However, financial and other difficul­ ties made that location impossible, and Kings Island came forth with a site locat­ ed just off Interstate 71 in a rural setting near a variety of other family entertain­ ment facilities, including a Jack Nicklaus golfing complex. Its convenient location brings thousands of visitors annually. One of the more inter­ esting guests, in the summer of 1986, was the oldest living member of the hall itself, Hamilton Fish, the captain of Harvard's 1909 squad. Fish, a U.S. congressman for 26 years who represented upstate New York, is now 101 years old. More than 500 players and 100 coaches are enshrined, including those Four Horsemen. (Who were the Four Horsemen, you ask? They were Notre Dame's 1924 backfield of Harry Stuhldreyer, Don Miller, Elmer Layden and Jim Crowley.) These four men and the many stars from other eras help make College Football's Hall of Fame one of the more complete and interesting halls of its type. It is well worth a visit.

I was able to call the play immediate­ ly because Red Grange, who was the analyst, and I had talked about exactly such an occurrence the previous night. It was amazing." Nelson's work with the Army-Navy game had begun even earlier. As soon as he joined NBC in 1952, the budding, 33year-old sportscaster had the privilege of meeting President Harry S. Truman prior to the kickoff at Philadelphia. "One of my duties was to deliver a handful of programs to President Truman," Nelson told a Philadelphia reporter years later. "Nowadays you look back and won­ der why the heck I had to.do that. "I mean, I was going on the air in an hour, and there I was out in the brush behind the stadium waiting for Truman's train to come in from Washington. Like I didn't have better things to do on my first Army-Navy broadcast." Nelson even has fond memories of the stadium, later named after John F. Kennedy, despite working conditions that weren t pleasant. The press box was far rom the field, and announcers had to work directly behind the photo booth. ’’You were slanted so far back from the field you were practically in Camden IN.J.J, he mused. "You didn't have any height, and the place was constructed with the photo deck in front of the announcers' booth. "I'll never forget a newsreel cameraman who was about 6-8 and 275 pounds. That guy stood in front of me three or four years, and I couldn't see a damn thing from the 20-yard line on down. I hope it never showed, what I couldn't see." Nelson s link with the Army-Navy game was also not without historical signifi­ cance. The 1963 clash featured junior Navy quarterback Roger Staubach, who later won Heisman Trophy honors. The game marked the advent of the instant replay, a fact that Nelson discov­ Beginning in 1952 Nelson did the radio on NBC’s college game of the week. When CBS purchased the ered while riding a train to the game with rights to the game, Nelson switched networks. CBS director Tony Verna. "He told me of a gadget CBS had been working on," not, but I'd better explain it to you, because Nelson remembered. "He said, 'I don't know if we'll use it or you re going to have to explain it to the au­ dience.' Then I asked him what it was. rr ‘ was the way I should describe a game." Nelson's lack of personal involvement was a benefit during the early years of the woeful Mets, whose game he broadcast for 17 years. He actually enjoyed the losses as much as the victories because of one man. "I'm associated more with football," he noted, "but my favorite character in sports will always be Casey Stengel. Those days with him and the early Mets were an incredible experience." When he switched from the Mets to the Giants in 1979, Nelson moved to San Francisco and cut back on his other broad­ casting work. He was with the Giants only three years, but sidekick Hank Greenwald remembers those days fondly. "Lindsey was the least affected bigname guy I'd ever been around," Green­ wald said. "He had so many outside interests, so he wasn't strictly into sports. What 1 remember most about him, though, is that he always conducted himself as a gentleman. "I recall Lindsey telling me a broadcast­ er shouldn't get caught up in wins and "He says, 'It's a camera with the capabil­ ity of playing back right away what you just saw on the screen. We don't have to rewind or anything. We just play it back.' Early in the game, Rollie Stichweh, the Army quarterback, rolled out and dove for a touchdown from the two. "Suddenly, I hear Tony: 'OK, here it comes, Linz. You've got to explain it now.' So I'm practically screaming: 'This is not another touchdown, folks. This is what you just saw. We're going to show it to you again.' "So it runs, he dives in, and after it's over I'm thinking, 'Well, whaddya know?' I was amazed," Nelson concluded. The affable announcer was frequently amazed during a spectacular career of cov­ ering virtually every major sporting event, yet he was unemotional and careful not to be part of the excitement. He merely want­ ed to report it. "Gen. Neyland tried to give me advice when I began broadcasting Tennessee football," Nelson explained. "He said the most popular flavor among Howard Johnson's ice cream was vanilla, and that losses, because if you're doing a bad team, you'll start sounding as bad as they are. I guess he learned that from his Mets days." Following his departure from the Giants in 1981, Nelson went into semi-retirement as a broadcaster, but he kept active by writing his memoirs and by joining the University of Tennessee faculty in 1986 as adjunct professor of broadcasting, con­ ducting seminars and workshops. Nelson, who lives not far from the Tennessee campus, will always be remembered for the indelible imprint he's left on sports broadcasting. But he will also be known for a sharp sense of humor, as evidenced by his three rules of life: "Never play poker with a man named 'Ace'; never eat at a place called 'Mom's'; and never invest in anything that eats or that needs paint." *■* About the Author: Nick Peters is a sportswriter for The Sacramento (Calif.)

At first the convention time passing leaders, to set virtually eveiy defeated the original motion for creating passing and receiving mark in the TOUCHDOWN ILLUSTRATED I-AA record book. Individually, Rice owns 20 of the division's records, including most catches (301), most reception yards (4,693), most TD receptions (50) and most catches per game (7.3). Another shining Division I-AA alumnus is Neil Lomax, the first selection of the St. Louis Cardinals in the 1981 draft, who has been named all-pro on several occasions. Lomax still holds the division's record for most passes attempted in a game (77 vs. Northern Colorado); he completed 44. He also holds the mark for career attempts (1,606), career completions (938) and career yards passing (13,220). Additionally, he holds records, ih several total-offense (rushing plus passing) cate­ gories. He set the standard for most plays in a season (611) and in a career (13,345), and for most yards gained in three years (11,647 in 1978-80) and in four years (13,345 in 1977-80). Perhaps the most well-known Division I-AA player of recent years, however, is Gordie Lockbaum, who captured the atten­ tion of the nation by being a standout twoway player for Holy Cross. Lockbaum's play, in fact, was so well-noted that he became a serious candidate for the Heisman Trophy in both his junior and senior years. In 1986 Lockbaum had the fifth-best all-purpose yardage total in I-AA history. He rushed for 827 yards, caught passes for 860 yards, returned two interceptions for 34 yards, and had 452 yards on kickoff returns for 2,173 net yards. Both that year and the following season he finished sec­ ond in the all-purpose net yards race, behind Division I-AA All-America run­ ning back Ke;fny Gamble of Colgate. Ironically,* much of the attention focused on Lockbaum occurred because he was considered a throwback to earlier, more innocent times in college football—a time when the term "student-athlete" was not considered by some to be a contradiction in terms, when "drug testing" and "steroids" weren't household phrases, and when athletes were expected—and want­ ed—to play both offense and defense. A two-way player in this day and age was both refreshing and reminiscent of an ear­ lier, less complicated era. And just such a player flourished in Division I-AA—not an inferior division, just different. WITH OUR ACTION-PACKED 1989-90 LINEUP ow's the time to bring your collection up to date.

If that’s the case, you’ll be using a 35mm single-lens re­ flex camera. In part, that’s because SLRs are about the most sophisticated amateur cameras available. And in part, you’ll choose an SLR because then you can use interchangeable lenses. What’s the big benefit? Well, suppose you’re sitting underneath the backboard of a Lakers-Celtics showdown. The standard issue 50mm lens will do just fine as Larry Bird and Company cross the half-court line, but what do you do when the action is hot and heavy under the boards? If you’ve got a 28mm wide-angle lens in your bag, two twists of the wrist and a quick swap can put everyone in the picture. Or suppose you’re at the Super Bowl, sitting in the stands. The 50mm lens will do a decent job on the bands at halftime, but if you want to fill a frame with a third-quarter tackle, you’d better have a 300mm tele­ photo handy. Besides bringing distant action up close or cramming nearby action into a frame, auxiliary lenses have other bene­ fits. Wide-angle lenses—24mm, 28mm, and 35mm—have an unusually deep depth of field. If you’re concerned about getting the foreground and the background both in focus, but the light is bad and you need a fairly wide aperture, a wide-angle lens can make the shot possible. For the same reason, you can “zone” focus (focus in the middle of an area you want to be sharp) and know that a good deal of what’s before the focal point—and even more that’s behind the focal point—will be good and sharp. Telephoto lenses, not surprisingly, have a shallow depth of field, so you can throw the background out of focus on a bright day by using a 200mm lens. And since telephotos also make objects look closer together, you can use them to achieve dramatic effects... like stack­ ing the Bears’ defense to make it look even more imposing than it really is. One thing to remember about tele­ photos; they’re very susceptible to vi­ bration. If you’re shooting at less than 1/500, use a tripod, a monopod, or rest the lens on something solid. Zoom lenses offer the best of both worlds. They’re now available in focal lengths that range from wide-angle to short telephoto (say 28mm-85mm), or from short telephoto to very long (100mm-300mm). You’ll sacrifice an aperture stop or two compared to sin­ gle focal length lenses, but you’ll have unparalleled convenience and you’ll save some cash, too. And you’ll have the opportunity to experiment with zooming during exposure, which can produce some dramatic sports shots. If you’re going to be shooting from the stands, a telephoto, zoom or single length, is virtually a necessity. In such a location, you won’t be able to get physi­ cally clo^e’enough to the action to get any kirjd of impact in your shots. I’d suggest you have at least a 200mm lens for such occasions... a 300mm would be even better. If you’re working in tight quarters—like right behind the net in a hockey game or under the backboard at a roundball event—on the other hand, a wide-angle lens is worth its weight in gold. You usually have the option of buying an accessory lens made by your cam­ era’s manufacturer, one that’s part of your camera’s “system,” or buying a less expensive lens from an aftermarket manufacturer. The system lens is often optically better because it can be optimized for your specific camera. On the other hand, the aftermarket lens usually costs less. The choice is up to you, but my preference is the system lens if you can afford it. Spread out over the life of the lens, the price difference isn’t that much. by Rick Smith 'The Golien Greek' shined brightly for Boston University's football team and for pro baseball's Red Sox, but he died tragically at age 25. arry Agganis' nickname was "The Golden Greek" and no sobriquet could have fit better. The seventh and last child of firstgeneration Greek parents, Agganis had a golden touch right out of Greek mythology. Put a football, basketball or baseball in his hands and Agganis would produce golden memories for anyone who watched him. Yet he remained modest and unas­ suming while the world around pro­ claimed his greamess. But Agganis’ life story would also have the classic ending of a Greek tragedy. During his second season with the Boston Red Sox, Agganis—despite having the body of an Adonis—died at the age of 25 from a pulmonary embolism. There had been early indications that this native of West Lynn, Mass., was something special. At age 13, the 6-0,190pound Agganis was selected to represent his home state in baseball at the Esquire Games in Chicago. While attending Lynn Classical High School Agganis was probably the most publicized schoolboy athlete in the coun­ try. He was outstanding in football, basket­ ball and baseball. In his three years as Classical’s starting quarterback, Agganis threw for 4,149 yards and 48 touchdowns while rushing for 24 more. As a junior at Classical Agganis played unforgettably in a high school national championship game played in the Orange H Harry Agganis was recruited by Notre Dame, but he chose Boston University, a school closer to home. TOUCHDOWN ILLUSTRATED Bowl stadium in Miami, Ha., against Grandy, Va. Agganis’ hand was stepped on in the first quarter of the game, swelling to the size of a grapefruit. He was limited to just three passing attempts in the contest, but all three went for touchdowns and Classical won. In Agganis' senior year in high school he gave a leg­ endary performance in a game against Gloucester, in which he completed an amazing 27 passes in a row. When the colleges came recruiting in 1948, Agganis was a hot item. Notre Dame coach Frank Leahy desperately wanted the southpaw quarterback, but family devotion kept Agganis close to home, at Boston University. "It was devotion to his widowed mother that prevented him from going far away to college," said Harold Zimman, an assistant football coach at Classical during Agganis' career there. "I think there were something like 75 colleges interested in Harry." So Agganis landed at BU, and Terrier fans couldn’t wait until he stepped behind center for a varsity game. In the days before freshman eligibility, 19,000 fans showed up at Fitton Field in Worcester for a frosh game between BU and Holy Cross. BU fans finally got their wish in 1949—^and Agganis didn’t let them down. In eight varsity games he threw 15 touch­ down passes, a Terrier record until recent­ ly. He rushed for an average of 5.4 yards per carry, had a punting average of 46.5, kicked off, often kicked points-after and was a demon in the secondary at safety. Bob Whelan, a retired teacher and coach from Natick, Mass., played halfback for one year at BU while Agganis was the quarterback. "There are so many things that I remember about Harry Agganis," Whelan said. "He was self-assured, almost cocky, on the field, but not in a bad way. He had great speed and could really throw HARRY A6GANIS e was self-assured, almost cocky, on the field, but not in a bad way. He had great speed and could really throw the ball. He was the complete quarterback. J J —Bob Whelan Agganis' teammate the ball. He was the complete quarterback. Harry always knew where he was on the field. In that way he was very similar to Doug Flutie." Dick Fecteau, who was two years older than Agganis, had grown up in the same West Lynn neighborhood, just two streets from the Agganis household. Fecteau was a reserve guard at BU and played one sea­ son with Agganis. "Harry got more publi­ city than anyone I've ever seen," Fecteau said. "He handled it just right. He almost seemed amused by all the fiiss. Harry was smart enough to just smile and keep his mouth shut. He was a great guy and a great player." George Winkler, who played end at BU, was on the receiving end of many of Agganis' passes. "Harry was the type of guy who made you play better," said Winkler. "And he was an outstanding lead­ er on and off the field. My first impression was that he could throw Ae ball. He knew when to throw it hard or soft, and he could do both well. He took complete command of the huddle. Even as a sophomore he was in complete charge." BU coach Aldo "Buff" Donelli was plarming for Agganis to have an outstand­ ing year in 1950. He wasn't planning on the Korean conflict taking his quarterback away. Agganis probably could have got­ ten a deferment because of his widowed mother, but instead he went into the Marine reserves and spent a year at Camp Lejeune. In September 1951 Agganis returned, playing against William & Mary just two days later in a 34-25 Terrier loss. He ended up passing for 1,402 yards and 14 touchdowns that season. On defense he grabbed 15 interceptions. He won the Bulger Lowe Award that year as New England's outstanding football player. Following his junior year at BU Agganis was drafted No. 1 by the Cleveland Browns because his class had already grad­ uated. Owner Paul Brown, who had called Agganis "the most complete football play­ er in the country," had a grand design for replacing aging veteran Otto Graham with "The Golden Greek." But once again fami­ ly devotion won out and Agganis returned to BU for his final year. throw touchdown passes, and the effec­ tiveness of his passes. I don't think any­ one in the country came close to him in fewest interceptions. And in three years of varsity football, I don't think he was sacked four times." Archie Cataldi, head football coach at Clinton (Mass.) High School, played for three years at BU with Agganis. More than 37 years later Cataldi is still in awe of his former teammate. "Harry was a great, great football player as well as being a Support Americans colleges. Because college is more than a place where young people are preparing for their future.

Harry Agganis was a star on the football and bnebril fields for Boston University, but, at his mother’s urging, he chose the less-haardous baseball as his profes^on. In 1954 he signed to play with the Boston Bed Sox. Injuries slowed him down somewhat in 1952, but there were still some memorable moments. He tossed four touchdown pass­ es that year against William & Mary, including three in one quarter. He pass^ for 264 yards against Syracuse, a game in which he completed 23 passes. Donelli stood in awe of his quarterback after seeing him perform at the varsity level for three seasons. "Agganis was a complete football player," Donelli said. "His greatest attribute was his ability to TOUCHDOWN ILLUSTRATED great, great guy," Cataldi said. "I remem­ ber a game we played at Penn State—a real shoot-out—^that we lost by something like a 40-34 score. Harry was involved in almost every single play.

Cole gained 290 yards on 52 attempts and 1 touch­ down. His yard per carry mark of 5.6 was second only to Faulkner's 6.5 ypc. On the receiving end he grabbed 11 passes for 170 yards and 3 scores. In '87, Cole stepped into the starting role when Faulkner went down with an ankle injury and has solidified the tailback position to date. As a sophomore, he led the Plaid with 635 yards on the ground and 8 touchdowns. He was also the squad's top receiver with 24 catches covering 251 yards and a score. For his efforts as a soph. Cole was tabbed first team PSAC-West in a season where he began the year as the num­ ber two tailback on the team's depth chart. Last year. Cole came into his own being named Hon­ orable Mention All-American by the Associated Press as well as first team PSAC-West once again. He led the Plaid in rush­ ing (909 yards), touchdowns (10), and scoring (88 points) in '88. This season, he has gone over 100 yards in each of the first five weeks and still has half the season remaining to reach his goal of 1,000 yards. "It is more the goal of my offen­ sive line," Cole said. "They deserve the credit for the num­ bers. But more importantly, we are in the thick of the race for the national playoffs. Clearing the way for Cole this season has been the solid play of centers Dave Pinkerton, Tom Izydorczak; guards Joe Brooks, Brad Powell, Dean Gallagher, and John Dickman; and tackles Ron Hainsey, Wally Spisak, and Curtis Rose. "It is important that they have their names mentioned. They are doing a great job up front," smiled Cole. With all of Cole's accomplishments on the gridiron, one would think his name would frequent the EU record books. This is not the case. Cole will likely only hold the career attempt mark after this season but is making a strong run at the season total of 1,358 set by Raines in 1971. To break the record he would have to average over 124 yards per game on the ground. To date. Cole has 518 carries totalling 2,576 yards and 27 touchdowns on the ground for the Boro. He is hoping that the squad has more than five games remaining. "It would be a great way to go out. We have a long way to go but it is a great thought," he added. Cole is helping to "carry" the Scots into contention for the national playoffs. He is leading the PS AC in rushing and is among the best in the nation. Not bad for a walk on. He has saved his best for last. Edinboro Universi­ ty Fighting Scot running back Elbert Cole is in his final season of collegiate football and the Rochester, NY, native is going out in grand style. Playing in the shad­ ow of past greats. Cole has quietly emerged as one of the best running backs in Edinboro history. The numbers speak for them­ selves, but there is a whole lot more to the Elbert Cole success story. Originally a walkon player for the Scots in 1986, Cole immediately made an impact on the Scot football program in his initial game as a freshman. The little-known tailback grabbed the game-win­ ning touchdown against Wayne State on the game's final play, to boost the Plaid to a 27-24 win. Going into the sixth game of the 1989 season this week. Cole has carried the football more times than any other running back in Edinboro history. He has simply earned the record through hard work and an intense desire to excel. When he carried the ball for the 14th time last week in a 12-7 win over Clarion University, Cole passed former great A1 Raines (1969-71) for most career attempts. Through 33 games he totals 518 carries. For a man just 5-9, you might think he would be vul­ nerable to injury. "First of all, I try not to take a big hit from the defense," commented Cole. "I try to be elusive. If you want to carry the ball, you have to stay healthy. I also have been very fortunate to have good offensive lines blocking in front of me. This season, they are just clearing the way and I run to the openings." Cole also stresses an intense weight training and con­ ditioning program in the off-season. Entering week six. Cole posts stats that rank him as one of the best in the country on tihe Division II level. In '89, he totals 742 yards rushing on 114 carries and 9 touchdowns. He is averaging 148.4 yards per game and nets 6.5 yards per attempt. His per game mark puts him in the top five national­ ly. Even more impressive is the fact that Cole has accounted for 44% of the Fighting Scot offense and has 33% of the teams' points. His 11.2 points per game average also puts Cole in the Division II elite. He has been voted PSACWest Player of the Week twice already and was voted Divi­ sion II National Player of the Week for his effort against Kutztown. Fighting Scot head coach Tom Hollman has had the pleasure of coaching Cole over the last two seasons. "I made the statement at the beginning of the year that Elbert is as good as anyone around," commented the Coach, "He is a tough player who enjoys the challenge. He is an exceptional athlete and an exceptional person." Cole started his career at the Boro in the fall of 1986 playing behind the likes of All-PS AC performers Floyd Faulkner and Ross Rankin.

The Clan scored once more in the third quarter, this one following an interception by comerback Wade Smith that gave Galupi and company the ball on the LH 23. Cole capped off the short drive with a 1-yard run and Weber added the PAT, Edinboro led 35-7 at the end of the third period. Edinboro sparked early in the fourth when Scot defender Jason Benham blocked an Eagle punt. Edinboro got the ball on the LH 20-yard line. The Eagle defense made a stand and Edinboro settled for a 30-yard field goal by Weber to make the score 38-7, The final score of the game came with only 2:28 left, when Scot linebacker Jason Harmon intercepted an errant Eagle pass and returned it 22 yards to the Lock Haven 15-yard line. Following a 14-yard run by FB Clare, RB Scott Ander­ son carried the ball 3 times, finally crossing the goal line from 1 yard out. Weber's sixth PAT of the day made the final score Edinboro 45, Lock Haven 7. The win moved Edinboro's record to 34 overall and 2-1 in the PSAC. Lock Haven dropped to 1-5-1 ^ind 0-3-1 in the PS AC. Edinboro University traveled to Lock Haven Univer­ sity fresh off a 35-0 drubbing of Clarion and came away with an impressive 45-7 victory. The Scots blew it open early. Scot tailback Elbert Cole opened the scoring midway through the first period with a 1-yard touchdown run to cap off a 46-yard drive. Cole was the catalyst in the drive, carrying the ball 6 times for 29 yards. 'Boro place-kicker Darren Weber's PAT was good, and Edin­ boro had an early 7-0 lead. Three minutes later, the Scots struck again. With the defense giving them good field position, Edinboro started the drive on the Lock Haven 40. After a short Cole run and a fumble that put Edinboro back on the LH 40-yard line, Scot signal caller Hal Galupi dropped back and launched a rocket to wide receiver John Toomer that was good for a 42-yard touchdown. With 3:00 left in the opening quar­ ter, Edinboro was up 14-0. The second quarter was scoreless until the final half­ minute when Galupi connected with Toomer for a second TD pass, this one a 16 yarder, Edinboro started the drive on the LH 46, the Scot defense playing strong again. After three runs by Cole, two by fullbacks Matt Koehle and Steve Clare, Galupi capped off the drive with the Toomer TD pass and Edinboro took a 21-0 lead into the half. The opening kickoff of the third period saw lighting strike for Lock Haven. 'Boro kicker Weber booted the ball deep to LH returner Guy Wade. Wade took the ball on the Scot 14 and proceeded to rumble 86 yards for a touchdown and Lock Haven had cut the lead to 21-7. But that was to be their only score of the day, Edinboro answered right back on the next drive. Gaining possession at their own 39, the Scots used the legs of running backs Cole and Chris Conway to drive the ball down to the LH 5-yard line. From there, Galupi connected for his third touchdown pass of the day, this one a 5 yarder to the Scots other star wide-out Cleveland Pratt.
