The Edinboro University football team will try to end Clarion’s
streak of 22 consecutive winning seasons today, as the Fighting Scots
play host to the Golden Eagles at Sox Harrison Stadium. The
homecoming tilt is slated for a 2:00 p.m. kick-off.
Clarion, 1-4, with five games remaining, must down the Boro to
have a chance at keeping their mark in tact. Their consecutive string of
22, is the longest in Division II football. The Golden Eagles began
1986 with a win over Fairmont State 14-0, but have uncharac­
teristically dropped four straight games to Ferris State (38-28),
California (28-27), Slippery Rock (13-7) and lUP (38-10).
Meanwhile, the Fighting Scots enter today’s encounter with a 2-3
overall mark and a 1-1 slate in the Western Division of the
Pennsylvania Conference. Edinboro opened the season downing
Wayne State (27-24), then lost to Mansfield (21-28). The Scots
rebounded for a 24-14 win over Slippery Rock, but have dropped their
last two ball games, 28-10 to lUP and 37-9 to West Chester. If
Edinboro is going to stay in contention for the PC title, they must
down the Golden Eagles.
Edinboro, marred lately by mistakes and penalties, must take
better care of the football than they did against West Chester last
weekend. “When you turn the ball over six times (five fumbles and an
interception) against a club like West Chester, the result is inevitable,”
Steve Szabo said. “No matter how Clarion is playing to date, we
expect a very tough football game.
Leading the Scot offense once again will be veteran quarterback
Scott Dodds. Coming off a record setting performance against West
Chester (21 completions), Dodds looks to have overcome his shoulder
ailments going into the Clarion encounter. “With Dodds the situation
is still day to day,” Szabo stated. “Despite the pain, he performed very
well against West Chester last week.” Dodds, with a quarterback
rating of 113.7, has only thrown one interception in 109 attempts thus
far in 1986. He has completed 61 for 617 yards and four touchdowns.
Dodds is coming off a fine effort against the Golden Rams, where he
connected on 21 of 32 passes for 212 yards and one score.
Joining Dodds in the Boro backfield today will be Floyd
Faulkner (67 carries for 274 yards and 4 touchdowns) and fullback
Jim Pisano (40-184). Also looking to see action against Clarion will be
Ross Rankin (27-138) and freshman Elbert Cole (28-163).
Edinboro receivers lining up will likely be Ernest Priester (18
catches for 239 yards) and Cleveland Pratt (7-134, 1 TD). Priester
caught six passes for 62 yards, while Pratt grabbed four Dodds passes
for 57 yards against West Chester. Tight end Bob Suren (9-122, 1 TD)
rounds out the Plaid’s receiving corps. The Fighting Scots are
averaging 147.0 yards per game in the air in ‘86, while churning out
163.2 ypg on the ground. The Clarion defense is giving up only 96.0
ypg on the ground through five games, but have surrendered 207 ypg
in the airways. “I know what the numbers are again this weekend, but
to be an effective club offensively we must be able to run the football,”
Szabo stated.
Spearheading the Clarion defense will be a pair of linemen in
tackle Lou Weiers (46 tackles and 3 sacks) and noseguard Mike Pope
(48 stops and 3 sacks). Ken Raabe (51 and a team high 4 sacks)
solidifies the linebacking chores, while strong safety John Besic (50
tackles and one interception) and Bob Kelly anchor the secondary.
The Golden Eagles are fighting the injury bug on defense as they are
likely to be without the services of All-American candidate defensive
tackle Ken Edwards (knee) and safety Bruce Curry (torn calf muscle).
The Clarion offense is led by quarterback Doug Emminger, who
has hit on 65 of 128 passes in ‘86 for 804 yards and three touchdowns.
He has thrown nine interceptions, a figure very inviting to the Scot

much improved secondary. Leading the ground attack for the Golden
Eagles is tailback Rod Joseph (73-356 and 4 TD’s) and fullback Dan
Taylor (26-83, 2 TD’s). CUP’s top receivers include split end Russ
Ford (21 catches for 366 yards and 2 TD’s) and tight end Jim Hahn
(17-176).
After surrendering just 68 yards in the air to the conference’s top
quarterback last weekend, the Boro defense is hopefully rounding into
form. Heading the list of performers is free safety Mike Willis (team
high 44 tackles, 1 INT) and freshman linebackers, Tom Calton (34
tackles) and John Williams (24). Looking to improve against the run
will be the Boro’s young defensive front of Scott Pierce (11), Craig
Cross (16), Tom Terhart (3 stops, 1 sack) and tri-captain Abdul
Hakim (27).
A pair of players which cannot be overlooked today are the
placekickers for each squad. The Plaid’s Jim Trueman and Clarion’s
John Desmond are two of the best in the conference. Both are all star
performers in the past and could be major factors in the outcome.
Trueman has connected on 3 of 5 field goal tries (32,32,29) and 10-10
extra points in ‘86, while Desmond has similar numbers with 3-5 FG’s
and 9-10 PAT’s.
The Fighting Scots and Golden Eagles have traditionally played
great football games and today should be no different. A quick
rundown of recent years tells the story. The Scots are 4-6 over the last
ten years against Clarion with a scoring rundown as follows: 1985
(26-7 CUP), 1984 (35-24 CUP), 1983 (28-8 EUP), 1982 (22-20 CUP),
1981 (27-17 EUP), 1980 (13-10 EUP), 1979 (13-0 CUP), 1978 (42-7
CUP), 1977 (10-6 CUP), 1976 (25-20 EUP).

After 125 years of service to the tri-state area, Edinboro
experienced its most significant change in history on July 1, 1983,
when the College became Edinboro University of Pennsylvania.
Founded as a private academy in 1857, Edinboro University has
continued its surge to the forefront as one of the leading educational
institutions in western Pennsylvania. Situated on a sprawling 585-acre
campus in the scenic resort community of Edinboro, the University is
within 100 miles of the educational and cultural centers of Buffalo,
Cleveland, and Pittsburgh. It is just 15 miles south of Erie, the third
largest city in Pennsylvania, and easily accessible from all directions
by interstates 79, 80 and 90.
Edinboro has the distinctionx)f being the second normal school
established in Pennsylvania and the 12th in the United States. It has
grown to more than forty buildings including the 400,000-volume
Baron-Forness Library, a modern seven-story structure which serves
as a focal point for the spacious campus. Nearly 6,100 students representing almost every county in the Commonwealth, as well as
numerous states and foreign countries attend Edinboro. Its tradition
of educational service and research is matched by a distinguished
faculty, more than two-thirds of whom have earned doctoral degrees.
The University now offers more than 100 undergraduate.
graduate, and associate degree programs, a diversity unmatched by
any other college or university in northwestern Pennsylvania. While
seeking to meet the educational needs of its region from both a

professional and cultural standpoint, Edinboro now makes contributions in the fields of education, government, environmental
improvement, urban and rural problems, crime prevention, and
service to business and industry. Recent program developments
include those in the high-demand areas of allied health, business
administration, communication, computer technology, nursing, and
various pre-professional offerings such as law, dentistry, medicine,
pharmacy and veterinary science. Numerous student internships
provide additional examples of the University’s efforts to create a
close working relationship with the people it serves while, at the same
time, offering students intellectual and career opportunities.
Edinboro has initiated the University Honors Progcam to
provide challenging and enriched learning experiences for academically gifted students. Undergraduate students are encouraged to
strive for academic excellence both in their major fields and in other
disciplines. Honors students pursue studies that are greater in depth
and scope than those required of other undergraduates,
Although the costs for attending Edinboro rank among the
lowest in the Commonwealth, over $10,000,000 in financial aid is
available annually to eligible students.
Students are admitted to the University in September or January
and are considered for admission on the basis of their general
scholarship, nature of secondary program, and SAT or ACT scores,

encouraged the expansion of the program which serves
disabled students, and, under his leadership, the University is
now 99% wheelchair accessible. The President’s commitment
to disabled students led the University to host the 29th Annual
National Wheelchair Games in the summer of 1985. Also, he
initiated an athletic study table designed to help improve the
academic progress of student athletes.

President Foster F. Diebold is a recognized leader in
higher education. Prior to assuming the presidency at Edinboro University in 1979, he was president of the University of
Alaska Statewide System. These leadership positions involved
successfully overcoming a variety of serious problems which
faced both the University of Alaska Statewide System and
Edinboro University.
President Diebold played an active role in the develop­
ment of the State System of Higher Education in the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania by supporting the legislation
which created it and serving on the transition team. In addition,
he served on search committees for the Chancellor’s senior
staff.
President Diebold also chaired the Pennsylvania State
Athletic Conference from 1983 to 1985. He now serves on the
Capital Facilities and Appropriations Sub-Committee of the
Chancellor’s Executive Council and on the Commission of the
Universities Ad Hoc Committee on Public Higher Education
in Pennsylvania. President Diebold also serves on the Com­

Colleges and Universities (AASCU).
At Edinboro University, the president has undertaken new
initiatives to promote excellence in education. During his
presidency, the Honors Program has expanded both in course
offerings and in scholarships made available to high achieving
students. In 1985, Edinboro University received a grant from
the Exxon Education Foundation to sponsor a special Summer
Honors Program for students and faculty drawn from the

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR — JIM McDONALD

BAUMGARTNER HUNGRY FOR TITLE

which al^o was the sight once again of pre-season drills for the
Pitt Panthers football team. Sox Harrison Stadium is the site
of the Cleveland Browns vs. the Buffalo Bills annual rookie
scrimmage, which has been a yearly mid-summer highlight.
The personable athletic director also introduced Edin­
boro’s Hall of Fame program which has evolved into an annual
year-ending event to honor present and past athletes.
McDonald has been at Edinboro since 1962 and for 12
years served as the Fighting Scot basketball coach (1962-1975)
and never experienced a losing season while his teams compiled
an impressive 181 wins against only 89 losses. During that span,
his cagers won four Western Division Pennsylvania Con­
ference crowns, the PC state championship and two District 18
titles that netted trips to the NAIA National Tournament. His
teams set 27 University records and made 19 post-season
appearances while four of his players were named AllAmericans.
Prior to accepting his position at Edinboro, McDonald
served as assistant basketball coach in Erie, Pa. He is a 1956
graduate of Bridgeport High School in his home town of
Bridgeport, West Virginia.
In 1960 he received a degree in chemistry and physical
education from West Virginia Wesleyan College and he also
holds a master’s degree in health from the University of
Buffalo.
As an undergraduate, he set nine school records at
Wesleyan and was twice voted both AP and UPI basketball
All-American. In 1960, he was the second leading scorer in the
United States, averaging slightly over 33 points a game, and led
his team to the national basketball tournament in Kansas City,
Missouri. He was named to theNAIA’s All-Tournament Team
in 1959 and 1960.
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 member­
ship in the West Virginia Sports Hall of Fame. He served four
years on the NAIA’s All-American selection committee and
was chosen by the NAIA to coach an All-American team of
NBA-bound cagers who won the Gold Medal in Israel’s Hapoel
Games.
In addition to his classroom and basketball coaching
duties, McDonald was Edinboro’s golf coach for 17 years
during which his teams won over 40 tournaments and finished
as high as 3rd place at the NCAA Division II National
Tournament.
As a resident of Edinboro, McDonald has a record of
extensive community involvement. He was Little League
Baseball Director for four years and also held a four-year post
as a member of the General McLane School Board. He and his
wife, Mary Lou, have three sons - Mark, Mike, and Matthew.

“There are four things which a wrestler must concentrate on,” he
explained. Strength, conditioning, technique and tactics, but not
necessarily in that order. Technique and tactics go hand in hand and
are probably at the top of the priority list.
Condition wise, I’m in as good as shape as I’ve been in since the
World Championships a year ago. I’m looking forward to two weeks
of hard training in Bloomington, Ind., to concentrate on technique.
Recently Jeff Blatnick, Olympic gold medalist in Greco-Roman
wrestling, was in Edinboro to help Baumgartner in his preparation for
the heavyweight division.
“It is very tough to find people to train against,” Baumgartner
stated. “It was real nice of Jeff to come to EdinborO and help me out. I
have some very tough competition in the World Championships and I
have to get ready.”
The entries for the Worlds make an impressive list. Poland will
enter a 7-2, 300-pounder who Baumgartner has beaten 1,1-2 in the ‘85
World Championships, but also has lost to 5-4 in the ‘83 champion­
ships.
East Germany enters the ‘86 European champion and Hungary
the runner-up in the ‘85 Worlds.
'
But without a doubt Gobedzhishvili looms as Baumgartner’s
biggest obstacle. Holding a 4-2 edge over the Russian, the Edinboro
coach owns consecutive wins over him, including a pin at the World
Cup and a 4-4 criteria decision at the Goodwill Games.
Baumgartner hasn’t ruled out a trip to the 1988 Olympic Games
in South Korea. “If all goes as planned, I want to compete in ‘88,” he
commented. “But to be honest with you, the terrorist issue really does
concern me. It’s still pretty far off. We’ll take everything one step at a
time and see where it all goes.
“If my knees hold out. I’ll probably compete. But there are
many more important factors to consider, like the well-being of myself
and my wife.”
But first Baumgartner is concerning himself with the World
Championships in Budapest and the one crown that has eluded him in
his illustrious career.

It is the one that has eluded him.
Forget the Olympics, the World Cup and the Goodwill Games.
Bruce Baumgartner’s “Super Bowl” will take place Oct. 19-22
when he battles for the World Championship in Budapest, Hungary.
After placing third in 1983 and ‘85, the Edinboro University
assistant wrestling coach seems to have everything in proper
perspective.
“The magnitude of the World Championships is truly that, a
world title,” he said. “It means so much to capture this one, because
every country in the world has the opportunity to compete. It is every
bit as important to me as the Olympics.
“It is the only championship which I have yet to capture.
Hopefully, this will be the icing on the cake.”
When asked if he considers himself the best heavyweight in the
world, the soft-spoken giant is anything but boastful. “Right now, I
consider it a two-man race for the label. David Gobedzhishvili from
the USSR is my toughest competitor.
“It is a difficult question to answer. On any given day, we can beat
one another. I can win and three weeks later get knocked off, you
never know.
“In a World Series, it is a best-of-seven, but when it comes to
wrestling it is six minutes of do or die. That is what makes wrestling
such a great sport.”
At 6-2,265 pounds, the burly Baumgartner has been in extensive
training for the event.

Athletic Director - Jim McDonald

Edinboro University’s athletic program was placed under
the talented and aggressive leadership of Jim McDonald in
July of 1981. Increased emphasis on fund raising to provide a
sound scholarship foundation has become his top priority
while numerous changes and innovations have also keyed the
Scots’ athletic program under his direction.
Through his efforts more than 2.1 million dollars has been
raised during the past five years. The funds generated by the
energetic athletic director’s efforts will be used to assist
Edinboro’s men and women athletes who compete in the Scots
sixteen intercollegiate sports.

“EUP has outstanding coaches
and facilities. With these ingredients,
there is no reason we could not be
competitive in the PSAC and Division

Second-year head coach Steve Szabo and his Fighting
Scot football squad are looking to improve on their third place
finish in the rugged Pennsylvania Conference Western Divi­
sion a year ago, as the Plaid prepare for another hard-nosed
season among the PC heavyweights. In 1986, the Scots return a
host of talent which should put them in the heat of the battle
come title time.
“We feel that we have the talent in the skilled positions to
make the big plays this year, which should allow us to open up
our offense a little more,” Szabo said. Traditionally a Wing-T
squad on offense, the Scots are likely to use a more pro oriented
approach to their ‘86 offensive plan. “With the year of growth
and maturity for quarterback Scott Dodds, we will be using the
two wide receiver set more often this season. Scotty proved he
could throw the ball a year ago, and I have confidence his
numbers will be even better in 1986,” Szabo continued.
Most definitely, if the Plaid is going to contend for the
division crown, the weight of the EUP offense falls on the
shoulders of tri-captain Dodds. The 6'3" signal caller from
Beaver, PA, should establish himself as one of the top
quarterbacks in the conference this year, coming off a brilliant
junior season, posting numbers good enough to rank third in
the entire conference in total offense. Completing a school

record 111 passes on 216 attempts, Dodds totaled 1,380 yards
through the air for 7 touchdowns, while also churning out 267
hard-earned yards on the ground for his third place showing in
the PC. Dodds averaged 164.7 yards per game for the “o,”
placing him behind only Rich Ingold of lUP and Brendon
Folmar of California. “Scott showed me a lot of poise a year
ago, and we’ll call on him to lead the offense all season. If we
can get the protection for him to open up his game, no telling
what kind of numbers he will put up,” Szabo stated. “You also
can’t overlook his ability to run the football. He has deceptive
speed, with a knack for finding the opening on the corner.”
Indeed, the offensive front will be the key to the Plaid’s
success this season, as the Scots look to replace four quality
veterans lost through graduation. Leading the list of returnees
up front will be tri-captain Dave Higham. The 6'2", 240-pound
center will anchor the Scot interior, a place “Higs” has romped
successfully over the last three seasons. “Higham is one of the
most dedicated athletes I have ever coached,” stated Szabo.
“He comes to play every down and give his 100%. There were
games last year, where he should have never played but
somehow managed to get himself ready for action every
Saturday.’’The fifth-year senior from Hubbard, OH, will have
to pull a somewhat green offensive front together if the Scot

running attack is going to live up to past standards. Also
looking to crack the starting offensive line will be guards Larry
Rosenthal (Manassas, VA) and Dave Nye (Windsor, OH).
Both return with game experience from a year ago, and will be
relied on to help carry the load up front. At tackle, the Scots are
looking at converted defensive player Rob Brownrigg and
sophomore Mark Courtney (Salem, OH). Also looking to aid
the Plaid up front will be a host of talented freshmen, led by
6'1", 235-pound tackle Joseph Brooks. A product of Austintown Fitch High School in Youngstown, OH, Brooks could
help the squad right away. “We feel that we have a quality
individual in Brooks,” Szabo said. “He is a fine looking athlete
with great agility. He also is a very versatile lineman, so he can
help us anywhere across the front. In addition to Brooks,
Szabo’s list of impressive freshmen include Brad Powell (6'2",
240, West Middlesex, PA), Dan Shaffer (6'3", 255, Youngs­
town, OH), Tom Terhart (6'2", 215, Lackawanna, NY) and
Rich Urko (6'2", 250, Monongahela, PA) to help the Scots in
the trenches.
Traditionally the strength of the Scot offense, the running
game should be as strong as ever with the return of Floyd
Faulkner, Jim Pisano, Ross Rankin and John Georgiana.
Faulkner (Coraopolis, PA) should be the Scots’ starting
halfback on opening day this season, a role he has looked
forward to for two years. The squad’s second leading ball
carrier last season, Faulkner netted 429 yards on just 89 totes
for a solid 4.8 yards per carry average and three touchdowns.
Also a threat out of the backfield, Faulkner caught 14 passes
for 122 and 1 TD in 1985. “Floyd should really come into his
own this season,” Szabo said. “He has great balance and is a
true break-away threat every time he touches the football.”
Pisano (Lower Burrell, PA) is likely to be the Scots’#! fullback
due to his unselfish nature and nose for the goal line. Leading
the squad a year ago in rushing touchdowns with 5, Pisano
carried the skin 66 times for 263 tough yards for a 4.0 average.
Meanwhile, Rankin (Canton, OH) and Georgiana (Altoona,
PA) posted 251 and 72 yards respectively a year ago to give the
team a strong returning corp to the EUP backfield. Rankin also
latched onto 10 passes for 142 yards last season, while
Georgiana touched pay dirt every 8 times he touched the
football from his fullback spot. Although the squad is solid in
the backfield, coach Szabo has brought in some quality
freshman that could make an immediate impact on the squad.
Heading the list of newcomers are Oil City High School
sprinter Chris Conway and Erie native Mike Miczo. Conway, a
4.3 in the 40-yard dash, brings added speed to the EUP backs,
while Miczo (Northwestern High School) is likely to help the
Plaid in a number of places on the offense. “Conway gives us
another breakaway threat, while Miczo does so many things
well, all around, that they both could see plenty of action
throughout the year,” Szabo added.
Another strength to the Edinboro offense this season will
come from the right foot of All-American placekicker Jim
Trueman. An Associated Press All-American the past two
seasons, Trueman will cap off a brilliant EUP career this fall, as
he embarks on the Pennsylvania Conference record books.
Needing a fine 71 point output this season, Trueman would
capture the all-time scoring mark in the PC for career points
held by Millersville University runningback Ricky Stonewall.

The 71 tallies may seem out of sight, but not for Trueman. The
5'8", 180 pound, Bellevue, PA, product has totaled 69, 75, and
49 points for his total of 193 in his first 3 years, and is looking
forward to a crack at the record. “For Trueman to get the mark,
we have to have a great year offensively, and get better field
position for the three points,” Szabo said. When it comes to
accuracy, Trueman’s numbers can be matched with anyone’s
across the country. His freshman campaign, “True” connected
on 39-of-43 extra points and lO-of-15 field goals, followed by
42-for-43 and an ll-for-16 showing his sophomore season.
With the EUP offense sputtering at times a year ago, Trueman
posted lower numbers but his range was still there; connecting
on 19-of-23 pat’s and 10-15 field goal attempts. A very
consistent offensive weapon throughout his EUP career,
Trueman will be relied on heavily to help carry the scoring load
for the Plaid once again this fall.
On the offensive receiving end, the Scots will enter the
1986 campaign with the same corp of players they had a year
ago. Leading the squad with 22 receptions last season was Dave
Gierlak (Buffalo, NY). The Scots’ prime possession receiver,
Gierlak totaled 300 yards through the air and 1 score, while
rushing for 53 yards on just 2 carries including a 19 yard scoring
jaunt. Also looking for playing time this fall will be Cleveland
Pratt (10 catches, 114 yards), Daryl Cameron (6 for 73) and
John Toomer (5 for 42). One strength the Scots are assured of
this fall, will be at the tight end position. Returning to anchor
the offensive front will be veterans Bob Suren (Parma, OH),
Scott Brown (Greensburg, PA) and Brian Ferguson (Bethel
Park, PA). Suren, in just 8 games, grabbed 12 passes for 152
yards and 3 scores, while Brown latched on to 5 passes for 81
and a score.
Defensively the Scots will make the transition from their
traditional 3-4 defense, back to the old school 4-3 set. Up front,
the Plaid will return a pair of all-conference performers in
Chuck Murray (Tyrone, PA) and Rob Lewis (Rochester, NY).
Murray, at 6'4", 255, caused many problems for opposing
offenses in 1985, registering 59 tackles, including 5 behind the
line of scrimmage. A first team All-Conference choice, Murray
will have to be in top form to solidify the Boro defense. Lewis,
also an imposing figure at 6'3", 250, should really come into his
own in ‘86, coming off a 38 tackle performance last season. A
second-team choice in ‘85, Lewis also tallied 5 stops for loss,
while collecting 1 QB sack. “Murray and Lewis will be the key
to our defensive performance this season,” Szabo added. “With
the year of experience they got last season, both will be a force
to contend with in the middle. With our inexperience at
linebacker, we will be looking for those two to make plenty of
stops.” Joining Murray and Lewis across the front will be
tri-captain Abdul Hakim and Harlen Ware. Hakim, a
converted linebacker to defensive tackle, was in on 40 stops a
year ago including a pair for losses. Ware, the squad’s
outstanding defensive player in the annual red-white scrim­
mage in the spring, was 14th on the team in tackles a year ago in
reserve role, registering 34 stops and causing a pair of fumbles.
The linebacking crew for 1986 will consist of a mix of
veterans and second year players, with a pair of positions not
yet filled. Allen Ellis (Albion, NY) the squad’s fourth leading
tackier with 68 stops, and John Cardone (Pittsburgh, PA) third
on the team with 71 tackles will anchor the middle line of

defense for ‘86 Scots. Also looking for the starting nod this
season will be Regis Lux (Pittsburgh, PA) and Joe Bulas
(Johnstown, PA). Bulas registered 22 stops in limited play a
year ago, while Lux was limited to kickoff coverage duty, but
played excellent ball in the spring. In looking at the linebacking
situation for the ‘86 squad, Szabo will be relying on freshmen to
come in and play for depth at the position. The Scots’ top
recruit at linebacker this year will be Paul Sibila out of
Massillon, OH. The 6'3", 207-pound product has caught the
eye of the EUP coaching staff, turning in a 4.8 time in the 40, to
go along with an outstanding 51.5 clocking in the 440. “He has
a lot of pure athletic ability and this is what you’re looking for
in any recruit. I believe he will be able to help us right away,”
Szabo stated.
The Scot secondary could be the strength of this year’s
defense, led by veteran Martelle Betters, Claude Webb,
Michael Churn and red-shirt freshman Mike Willis. Betters, an
all-conference selection as a sophomore, returns for his senior
campaign to anchor the Scot secondary. Betters was the
squad’s ninth leading tackier last season, collecting 47 stops
and 1 QB sack. The 6'0", 180-pound product out of Connellsville, PA, also broke up 4 passes and blocked 1 punt in 1985. A
trio of talented youngsters are likely to make up the remainder
of the Plaid secondary in Webb, Churn and Willis. Webb
registered 17 stops a year ago, while picking off 1 pass in limited
action, while Churn and Willis are trying to shake off injuries
from a year ago to land in the starting secondary. “We have a
group of very talented players in our defensive backfield with
great speed and range. We should be stronger back there this
season,” Szabo pointed out. “This is a throwing conference and
you must stop the pass if you’re going to win.”

Wally Bennett, Owner

Edinboro will tune up for conference action this season
opening at home against Wayne State (Sept. 6) and Mansfield
(Sept. 13) before hosting Slippery Rock on September 27 on
“Parents Day.” The remainder of the Scots’ schedule is as
follows; October 4 at lUP, October 11 at West Chester, home
vs. Clarion October 18 for homecoming, October 25 at Lock
Haven, home November 1 vs. Shippensburg, followed by two
road games at California November 8 and at Fairmont State
(WV) November 15.
“I’m really looking forwar^ to the start of the season,”
Szabo said. “Last season was
adjustment for all of us, but I
hope the transition is over. The conference is as tough as I
thought, and we are going to have to play all-around better
football, both offensively and defensively, if we are going to
have a shot at the conference crown. There are plenty of good
teams in this division and we are going to have to be ready every
week,” Szabo concluded.

Head Coach Steve Szabo

Last spring, Steve Szabo became the tenth head football
coach in Edinboro University’s 55-year gridiron history.
A native of Chicago, Illinois, Szabo graduated with
honors from the United States Naval Academy in 1965 with a
B.S. degree in physics and a minor in mathematics and
electrical engineering. In addition, Szabo completed graduate
work in aerospace engineering and pursued doctoral work on a
fellowship at John Hopkins University.
From 1979 to 1981, the Fighting Scot head coach served as
a defensive line coach at Ohio State under Earl Bruce, during
which time the Buckeyes ranked in the top 20 and played in
bowl games all three years. In 1979, he directed a standout
defensive unit that ranked third in the nation in total defense.
“Steve is very disciplined, hard working and responsible,”
offered Buckeye coach Earl Bruce. “I wouldn’t hesitate to
rehire him on my staff,” added the Ohio State mentor.
In addition to his three years at Ohio State, Szabo spent
1977 and 1978 as a defensive line coach at Iowa State. From
1974 through 1976 he was a defensive line coach at Syracuse
University, and the three previous seasons he coached the
offensive line, defensive line and linebackers respectively at the
University of Iowa. He was also an assistant at the University of
Toledo and John Hopkins University. Before joining the

ASSISTANT TO THE
ATHLETIC DIRECTOR
HAROLD “HAL” UMBARGER

Dr. Kathleen Lipkovich was named Edinboro’s first associate
athletic director at the outset of the 1981 school year to help
administer both the men’s and women’s athletic program.
Originally from Youngstown, Ohio, Dr. Lipkovich has had
teaching and coaching experience at West Virginia University,
Central Connecticut State College, and Trinity College. The Ohio
native, who graduated from Chaney High School, began her teaching
and coaching career in 1972 with the Howland Local School District
in Howland, Ohio, and then held a similar position from 1972 through
1975 at McDonald High School in McDonald, Ohio.
The 1972 Youngstown State graduate received her M.S. degree in
1975 from West Virginia University and was awarded a doctorate
from that same institution in 1977 after majoring in educational
administration and physical education. She completed a post­
doctoral fellowship at Harvard in educational administration prior to
her arrival at Edinboro.

Harold “Hal” Umbarger joined Edinboro University’s athletic
staff three years ago as assistant to the athletic director. He brings a
wealth of talent and experience to the administrative level of the
athletic program and plays a vital role in overseeing the academic
progress of student athletes as well as coordinating the on-going
functions of the athletic director’s office and the summer programs
which involve the department. The West Newton, Pa., native is a 1954
Slippery Rock University graduate and also owns his masters degree
from Penn State. After a three-year stint with the U.S. Army Security
Agency in Europe, he coached basketball and baseball at Moshannon
Valley (Pa.) High School before accepting a guidance position in the
West York Area School District in 1961. He became a member of
Edinboro’s admissions office a year later and in 1967 was named
director of admissions. During his tenure more than 40,000 students
were admitted to Edinboro University.

"In pro football, you know the teams
and players so well that it’s much
easier to predict what’s going to
happen,’’ says Bob Goodrich, ABC’s
college football producer. 'College
football is faster. There’s more to keep
track of and less predictability. It’s
harder to get a handle on so many
teams and players. It makes it harder to
produce. ”
^ ■ So does a prolonged absence. Good­
rich has spent the last six years proji;ducing America’s prime-time sports

when you know the teams. A
times your success on isolated pla)
comes from luck. But you can increl
your odds considerably by knowing tl
teams and players."
Goodrich’s rival, Ric LaCivita, won’t
have to do as much homework for the
1986 season. LaCivita has spent Satur­
day afternoons in the CBS truck since

TV PRODUCTION
the network started vying for college
football rating points in 1982. Before
that, ABC had the field to itself
During his tenure at ABC, LaCivita
worked for Chuck Howard, who pro­
duced college football telecasts for
what seemed forever until Goodrich re­
placed him. So LaCivita knows a thing
or two about what makes college foot­
ball an entity unto itself
“The major difference between col­
lege and pro football is emotion,”
LaCivita says. “Pro football is a job.
Sure, there’s some emotion in the
stands and on the field. But it’s nothing
like you see on Saturday afternoon.
College football is an emotional game.
That’s very apparent on the players’
faces. You can sense it all aroundyou—
the fans, the coaches, the cheerleaders.
It’s everywhere.”
So that’s how LaCivita, his director,
Joe Asceti, and the rest of the CBS crew
try to convey it. When LaCivita arrived
at CBS, the tendency was to shoot the
game as if it were the same as a pro
game. The premium was on high shots
from any of the three cameras in the
stadium—one on each 25-yard line and
one at midfield. In theory, that gave
viewers a better overall view of what
was happening.
In reality, LaCivita couldn’t stand it.
“In high shots you see only grass, ”
LaCivita contends. ‘That may be great
for the pros. But in college football you
want to see the colors and the back­
ground and the stands. You want to see
the whole scene. You want to feel the
emotion. If you’re shooting down on
the field, there’s absolutely no
emotional impact.”
So LaCivita went down where the
action is. He went with wide shots to
show the whole arena. He went in as
tight as possible to let viewers know
that these players are actually human
beings, not machines. They really have
eyes and noses and mouths.
He also changed the composition of
CBS’ shots. In the pros, offense is where
it’s at. When it’s time for the actual play,
viewers see the quarterback, the
tailback and maybe three linemen. The
linebackers aren’t in the picture.
LaCivita didn’t like that view.
"In college football, I want to see the
defensive formation, ” LaCivita says.
"Once the play begins, I want to see
what the quarterback sees and has to
adjust to.”
Speaking of adjusting, these trips
were no stroll in the park. Trained on
NFL games, LaCivita’s crew had to be
weaned from believing that the high

shot was where it’s at. He also had to
overcome different personnel every
week. It took three years before he had
steady camera and technical crews
with him every week.
So what’s the big deal? A cameraperson is a cameraperson, right? Wrong. It
works the same way in the truck as on
the playing field. If Wayne Gretzky or
Larry Bird were getting new teammates
every week, how much of a chance
would they have of knowing what the
newcomers will do in a tough situation
in their first game? None. Is a senior
quarterback going to know how a fresh­
man receiver will react to an audible?
He’ll have a much better idea in
November than in August.
And so it goes in the truck. The better
the crew knows each other and the
longer they’ve been together, the better
their chemistry. Knowing what the
director or production assistant or
technical engineer is going to do in a
particular situation without having to
think about it reduces significantly the

margin of error. The better the telecast
feels in the truck, the better it looks on
the screen. Let us not forget that while
technology may be wonderful, it still
takes humans to run it.
"The only reason I was able to switch
from high to low is because I trusted
the people I worked with and they
trusted me, ” LaCivita says. “ Now we’re
off the field about 45 to 50 percent ofthe
game. That may be a little less during an
important national game, like Michigan
playing Ohio State for the Big Ten
championship. But we rarely go off the
field less than 35 percent of the time.
"And when we say off the field, we
mean it. We want cheerleaders, crowds,
kids on the sideline, the band and any­
thing else that helps convey the atmos­
phere at the game. We want to make it
feel like college football.”
So does Goodrich, although at press
time he was unsure exactly what that
meant. ABC hasn’t exactly been unfeel­
ing all these years, although it had
continued

TOUCHDOWN

pj'grown fat, sassy and happy when it had
I a monopoly. Since CBS came on the
ij^scene, ABC has gotten leaner and
' meaner. Goodrich plans to continue
' that trend.
I don’t know if that means adding
something new or not,” he says. ' VV'e
will have a different look. That may
mean a new camera or another piece of
new equipment. We re going to look at
evetydhing ABC owns and take apart
the operation from top to bottom.
"A good portion of what we’re going
to do has already been done because
we ll find that’s the best way to do it.
But if people say that’s how we’ve done
it in the past, I don’t want to hear it. If ■
we do something the same way, it'i
because we decided to do it that wi
We’re not locked into anything.”
Except possibly the weekly produ
tion schedule. With a few exceptions
ABC tries not to pick its Saturday gai
until the preceding Monday. P’or t!
games already announced, Goodrii
will telephone the home team’s sportj
information director (SID) totalkaboi
camera positions. He’ll use a stadiu
diagram to determine the exact loca-’
tions. If there’s a serious problem, he’ll
make a special trip to fix it. If he’s
merely not too thrilled with a location, ,
he’ll try to make a trade when he arrives,
at the game site.
The numbers and locations of the '
cameras vary with the stadium con­
figuration. Some stadiums are too
narrow for a sideline cart camera, so
Goodrich will substitute two stationary
ones near the field. If there’s a lot of
passing expected, he’ll dump one hand­
held camera and use a low fixed camera
behind the end zone and a minicamera
on the goal post.
If the game isn’t announced until
Monday, Goodrich calls the SID imme­
diately afterwards. ’Hie^' have a long
talk about players, so that when Good­
rich gets the rosters and works up the
three-deep position diagram he takes
into the truck, he can start thinking of
stories. He shares that information
with play-by-play man Keith Jackson
,and his partner, Tim Brant. And if
■’Goodrich has any specific requests,
.like having the Notre Dame band play
sthe fight song just as ABC comes on the
^air, he asks the SID about it on Monday.
If the band sa3's no, he goes to plan B.
“We disrupt things enough as is, with
changing dates and starting times, ” he
admits. ”We try to make it as easy as
possible. Besides, if I asked on Thufi
day. I’d never have a chance.”
After immersing himself in rosti

They don’t come more bread-andbutter than that.
But this one happened twice. Not on
the field in Philadelphia, but on tele­
vision sets across the country. When
CBS’ Tony Verna showed the play again,
who knew he’d started a way of life?
‘We re like Pavlov's dogs now, ” says
Bob Goodrich, ABC’s college football
producer. The man knows a thing or
two about replays, having overseen
their use in 'Monday Night Football”
before switching this year to the college
variety.

name, ” contends CBS college football
producer Ric LaCivita. ‘We re really
talking about the ability' to tape. You’re
video taping the output of a camera
that has an angle you haven’t seen. If
you didn’t see the play the first time,
how can it be a replay?”
Well, whatever one wants to call it,
it’s so ingrained in fans that when they
come to the stadium, they’re looking
for it even when they know it’s not
there.
“We re conditioned to them,” Good­
rich admits. “Eveiyone, including the
audience and the television crew, feels
cheated if there isn’t a replay. ”
And therein lies the danger. Replays
are so easy to do that the impulse is to
do them all the time. A three-yards-anda-cloud-of-dust run that doesn’t make
any difference in the game? Hey, great.
Let's see that one again. Maybe we can
get a slightly better angle on the tackle.
Even three different angles aren’t a
problem. There’s no technological
miracle here. An average replay begins
with Goodrich on the headset with the
tape operator of one of ABC’s four tape
machines. Goodrich tells his director,
Lany Kamm, to isolate camera one on
red jersey 63. Kamm relays that infor­
mation to the camera operator. He then
stays with red 63 until the play is over.
Kamm then tells the technical director
to feed camera one to whichever tape
machine is being used for that particu­

lar play. The technical director then
punches up the tape machine and it
appears on the screen. Goodrich con­
trols the speed via an Interruptible
Feedback (IFB). He can stop it, reverse
it, or fast forward it.
LaCivita likens the process to using a
recorder at home.*.The sound is
recorded on the ed^e of the half-inch
magnesium oxide tape and the video is
recorded on the rest.
”I can’t imagine doiq^ a game with­
out them, ” LaCivita . says. ’’But the
replay better be worth it. It better really
be able to clarify something.
“The ability to tape can do three
things: It can amplify or clarify; it can
document something on the field that
wasn’t seen because it was away from
the play; or it can create emotion
because it captures a reaction. If it
doesn’t do one of those things. I’m not
interested in putting it on the screen. ”
There is always the question ofwhen
to use a replay. Where the heart says go
one way, the head says go the other. On
a good day, the head rules.
"You’ve got to fight the tendency to
overuse it,” Goodrich fays. "The tech­
nology is there and it’s so easy that the
tendency is to constantly replay. Too
many replays upsets the tempo, the
pace and^he announcers.”
And^rtie audience. Yes, replays are
wondArfiil. Yes, they show viewers
angles they wouldn’t otherwise see.
But they are playing a football game out
there, aren’t they?
"Joe (Asceti, ^he director) has no
problem restraining us on replays,”
LaCivita says. "We don’t even see the
technology. And I don’t subscribe to
the current theoiy that in big games
3'ou have to have more equipment. I’ve
come to realize that more is not neces­
sarily better. And that certainly applies
to replays.”
“If you overuse it, it loses its mean­
ing,” Goodrich agrees. "You definitely
tiy to hold the number down. I still
think an instant replay should be some­
thing special. ”
It was the first time. Only Goodrich j
and LaCivita can decide whether it will
be this season.

going to be in a play. Remember the
1982 Stanford-Cal game?
Goodrich and the crew get right
down to the real nitty-gritty on Friday
afternoon. They spend three hours
going over alt the technical aspects of
the production. They go through the
opening, the promos, the halftime and
postgame formats. Rosters are dis­
cussed at length, with emphasis on
special teams and backups who might
make interesting isolation shots. The
reward for all this toil and trouble is a
reception that night.
Then it’s game day. Everyone’s in
their place three hours before kickoff
for a rough rehearsal, with the
emphasis on technical problems or
very complex segments that need a
great deal of input.
The game faces go on a half hour
before kickoff, when rehearsal ends.
That’s 20 minutes before LaCivita
and Asceti hit the truck. They spend
game week much the same way, al­
though after four years in the business,
LaCivita doesn’t waste energy worrying
about camera positions.
"I don’t think there’s a stadium in the

country where I don’t know the camera
positions,” he says. Or a team for which
he doesn’t know the idiosyncracies of
the coach. If this is Michigan-Ohio State
week, then it means Bo Schembechler
doesn’t allow interviews after Tuesday.
So LaCivita arrives Sunday instead of
Thursday. It’s a hassle with a game that
Saturday before, but he does it to
maintain the relationship.
If it’s any other week, the crew arrives
Thursday and checks out the trucks,
the equipment and the home team.
Friday is the visiting team’s day. When
they ’re not interviewing, they’re watch­
ing films.
After a production meeting Friday
afternoon, LaCivita and Asceti go to
dinner with play-by-play man Brent
Musburger and analyst Ara Parseghian.
They discuss each team’s strategy,
what story lines to follow and on which
players to isolate.
"I don’t want Brent to just call playby-play and I don’t want Ara to just
analyze,” LaCivita says. "I want them to
communicate with each other and
converse back and forth about the
environment they’re in.

"Ara’s made our whole coverage
better. He has this amazing ability to
know what to look for and know where
to be on a particular play. That makes
our isolations and replays a lot easier.”
On Saturday morning there’s a twohour technical check. The crew sets up
and shows Musburger and Parseghian
all the material so there are no
surprises when they get in the truck.
LaCivita talks to the coaches one last
time, getting last-minute information
on starters, wind direction and any­
thing else he thinks will help the
telecast.
"This is where my relationship with
these guys is so important,” he
says. "They’ll discuss last minute
things with me that I’d never get other­
wise. And I’d never be allowed into the
locker rooms if I hadn’t maintained the
relationship.”
Thirty minutes before kickoff,
LaCivita and Asceti walk the field and
soak up the atmosphere one last time.
Ten minutes before the game, the
crew’s in their places. Then the fun
starts.
“We take a lot of chances, ” LaCivita
cheerfully concedes. No lie. If you think
the guy plays it straight, remember the
Cotton Bowl. LaCivita certainly does.
While he had the cameras focused on
Texas A&M coach Jackie Sherrill, the
Aggies scored on the last play. Viewers
never saw it, either live or on tape.
"It was my fault and no one else’s, ”
LaCivita admits. "I was concentrating
on Sherrill because here was a highpriced guy who’d undergone a lot since
he came to A&.M and now he had come
all the way back. It wasn’t a game­
winning touchdown. If it had been, we
never would have been in the Sherrill
mode. When I missed it, and we didn’t
have it on tape, I said I’m dead. I’m
burned.’
"It’s the most embarrassing thing I’ve
ever done, even if it was a meaningless
score. I feel for the people around me
and the Cotton Bowl. And I feel abso­
lutely horrible because it was an
amateur mistake, and we don’t make
those. But it’s not going to change
the way I cover things. And I can’t wait
to get back to the Cotton Bowl because
I’m really going to give those people a
show.”
So is the almost-new kid in the truck.
”It’s going to be different, but I’m not
worried about anything,” Goodrich
says. "It’s going to be a lot of fun. Is our
new look going to work? I don’t know.
Ask me halfway through.”
Not to worry. Viewers will give him
the answer.

MOSES, UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME
An 18-foot-high bronze statue of Moses dominates the west lawn of the University
of Notre Dame s 14-story Memorial Library. Some students, in periods ofirreverence,
have called it the “We re Number One” statue because of the single finger pointing
skyward.
«
o ro
The statue was a dream of famed Creation artist Ivan Mestrovic,who completed
early drawings before his death at Notre Dame in 1962. It was completed by Joseph
Turkalj, a student of Mestrovic and a fellow refugee from war-torn Yugoslavia. In an
erroneous translation of Scripture in early days, scholars had Moses coming off the
mountain with horns rather than a ring of fire around his head. Turkalj followed the
old artistic tradition.
CAPSTONE, UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA
Capstone House, an 18-stoiy high-rise, is a well-known landmark in Columbia.
Since 1968 ft Capstone has provided a variety of services to the University and the
city as a dormitory, dining hall and conference center. Capstone’s
revolving restaurant. Top of Carolina, is the only known campus
installation of its kind in the world and offers a spectacular view
of historic Columbia and the University campus.
Capstone houses over 500 women residents during the aca­
demic year and operates as a conference housing facility during
summer months, offering accommodations for cheerleading
camps, professional associations, sport groups
and educational affiliates.
LEADER OF THE PACK, TEXAS A&I UNIVERSITY
Leader of the Pack,” a bronze statue, was
dedicated on the Texas A&I University cam­
pus last spring and pays tribute to the
school’s mascot, the javelina. Texas
A&I is the only college in the nation
with the javelina as a mascot.
The sculpture was created by Armando
Hinojosa of Laredo, Texas, a Texas
A&I graduate and one of the South­
west’s most noted artists. The work de­
picts two javelinas in a natural
South Texas setting and it symboli­
cally represents the leadership
qualities of the Texas A&I grad­
uates and university community
since the founding of the school

So; out on the Norman plains; it was goodbye
Wishbone; hello I-formation.

Switzer scrapped his beloved Wish­
bone and went to the "I” in 1982 for sev­
eral reasons, two in particular. His
quarterback, Kelly Phelps, wasn’t a
triple-option whiz like previous Sooner
quarterbacks, such as J.C. Watts and
Thomas Lott. And OU wasn't blessed
with an overabundance of the quick­
silver, waterbug running backs who
knew when to zig when a defender
zagged.
The Sooners’ budding star that
3'ear was a freshman named Marcus
Dupree, who was big, fast and born to
be an I-formation deep back.
But Dupree, for a number of rea­
sons, never panned out for the Soon­
ers. And in 1984 Switzer, in effect, said
the heck with the I-formation. He was
gonna go back and dance with the one
that brung him.
"The Wishbone controls the ball
because of the great rushing game, ” he
said. "It’s the greatest rushing game
ever designed.”
With the benefit of hindsight again,
that was the best thing Switzer could
have done. Last 3^ear his Sooners, with
the aid of a freshman magician of a
quarterback named Jamelle Holieway
(and a devastating defense), won them­
selves a national championship.
The Wishbone wasn "t the only reason
Oklahoma finished as No. 1. But it was a
big one.
It s a great offense,” Switzer said.
"It’s basic, it’s sound and it works. ”
In its heyday, the late 1960s and early
1970s, the Wishbone could be found on
college campuses big and small across
the country. A survey conducted by the
NCAA in 1974 indicated 15 major col­
leges planned to use the Bone that sea­
son, while another 39 teams employed
some type of triple-option attack.
The numbers aren’t nearly as high
anymore. No exact figures are available,
but you probably can count on both
hands the number of teams that will be
Wishboning it this fall. But an extraor­
dinarily high percentage of teams that
used it last season experienced great
success, five of them going to bowl
games and four of them winning.
• Oklahoma clinched the national
title by defeating Penn State in the
Orange Bowl, 25-10.
• Arkansas defeated Arizona State in
the Holiday Bowl, 18-17.
TOUCHDOWN

Air Force used their version ot the Wishbone—the Flexbone—to compile a 12-1 mark In 1985

• Colorado lost to Washington in the
Freedom Bowl, 20-17.
• Army defeated Illinois in the Peach
Bowl, 31-29.
• Air Force defeated Texas in the
Bluebonnet Bowl, 24-16.
The Falcons’ victoiy over the Long­
horns was ironic, because the Wish­
bone was born in Austin in 1968.
Although variations of it had come
and gone over the previous couple of
decades, the Wishbone was the brain­
child of Emor>' Bellard, Texas coach
Darrell Royal’s offensive coordinator.
Let history show the fabled forma­
tion made its debut against the Hous­
ton Cougars on the night of Sept. 21,
1968, at Memorial Stadium in Austin.
Along with its basic I-formation attack,
the Longhorns mixed in a weird­
looking three-back alignment. The full­
back was a couple of steps behind the
quarterback, and was flanked by two
halfbacks a step behind him.
The result was a 20-20 tie. The next
week, in Lubbock, a monumentally un­
impressed Texas Tech team spanked
Texas, 31-22, and the Wishbone’s career
record was 0-1-1.
In the second half against Tech,
Royal inserted a cocky, relatively un­
known fellow named James Street at
quarterback. Street couldn’t bring the
Horns back in that one, but he would

never lose another college game. Texas
Wishboned its way to 20 straight victo­
ries under Street, including a national
championship in 1969 with a 21-17 Cot­
ton Bowl victory over Notre Dame.
In the Cotton Bowl the year before,
the Wishbone became nationally prom­
inent. Rallying from that 0-1-1 start to
win its remaining games, Texas de­
stroyed Te?nnessee, 36-13, in the New
Year’s Day bowl in Dallas.
Folks in the coaching fraternity were
impressed, so much so that they made
what amounted to a pilgrimage to
Austin the next spring to sit at the feet
of the masters. Royal and Bellard, to
learn the X’s and O’s.
”It fouled up spring practice, ” Royal
would recall years later. "There were
so many coaches visiting that you
couldn’t move around. People were
phoning all the time. ”
One of them. Royal said, was Duffy
Daugherty at Michigan State, who tin­
kered with the Wishbone for a few
weeks in 1969.
“He kept calling and asking things
about it and telling me things he was
doing with it,” Royal said in a 1974
article in Te^as Football magazine. "Fi­
nally, I told him, Duffy, yqu don’t want
my formation, you want my fullback.
And you can’t have him__ ”

To save time, Royal and Bellard even­
tually put together an instructional
film, which Royal narrated. "We had to
do it," Royal said. "We were just so over­
whelmed with questions. You’d get a
letter with a two-line question, and
you’d have to write a book to answer it.”
Another historical footnote: The
Wishbone got its name the night
of Oct. 19, 1968, in the legendary
Room 2001 of the Villa Capri Motor
Hotel in Austin, where Royal and
sportswriters often gathered after
Texas games for fun and fellowship.
Following the Longhorns’ 39-29 vic­
tory over Arkansas, Mickey Herskowitz
of the Houston Post chided Royal for
not coming up with a catchy name for
the offense, which UT coaches were
content to call the Y-formation.
"I remember he said, ‘Gee, Coach,
that isn’t a veiy original name,’ ”
Royal said in 1974. "‘How about the
Wishbone T?’’’
Herskowitz later confirmed that was
just about the way it happened. ‘That
sounds right, ” he would say. "I’m quite
capable of saying something like. Gee,
Coach.’’’
Its name established, the Wishbone
took the country by storm. Among
those interested in it was ayoung offen­
sive coordinator at Oklahoma named
Switzer. His boss, head coach Chuck
Fairbanks, ordered him to install it for

the 1970 season.
The previous two years, while their
archrivals from Austin were racing to
9-1-1 and 11-0 records, the Sooners
were struggling to so-so records—for
them—of 7-4 and 6-4.
Fairbanks decided it was time
for the Wishbone to make its way
to Norman. Switzer visited several
schools using it, studied films of
Oklahoma’s previous two games with
Texas and, finally, went straight to the
source, calling up Bellard.
Bellard, who would later take the
Wishbone with him as head coach at
Mississippi State, figured it would be
wise to get permission from Royal to
talk with Switzer, since Texas and Okla­
homa had never been, and probably
never will be, bosom buddies.
Royal gave the O.K. 'I have to admit
I thought at the time it was a pretty
strange thing to do,” Bellard would
say later.
Oklahoma City sportswriter Al
Carter, now with the Houston Chron­
icle, once described Royal’s decision
as, "... like telling the Germans what
day and what beach. ”
The Sooners said thanks and never
looked back. In 1971 quarterback Jack
Mildren and halfback Greg Pruitt led an
assault that accounted for 472.4 rush­
ing yards per game, 44.5 points a game
and 56 rushing touchdowns.

The options of the Wishbone: the quarterback can handoffto the fullback, keep the ball and run off
orp/fc/i the ball to the trailing halfback. Sprlnt-out passes can also be thrown from
the Wishbone, using the options as play action to freeze the defenders.

TOUCHDOWN

FAKEOR HANDOFF

ALTERNATE ROUTE

Eventually, however, the Wishbone
became something of a dinosaur. Its
passing capabilities were limited,
coaches decided. It was not a good
come-ffom-behind offense.
Also, its best strength was its biggest
weakness. Each option available to the
quarterback was just another chance to
leave the ball on the ground.
Teams began going to the “I,” or if
they had a strong-armed quarterback, a
pro-style passing attack. Most option
teams stuck with the Veer, which was
invented by another Texan, Houston’s
Bill Yeoman.
But some coaches decided there
were things you could do from the
Wishbone you couldn’t, do from the
other alignments. Its l^ck of an aerial
threat, for example, could be alleviated
by substituting a flanker or split end for
the tight end.
It also was looked upon as a finesse
offense that relied more on brains than
brawn. And that appealed to Ken Hat­
field, the head coach at the Air Force
Academy, where the Falcons seldom
matched up physically with their larger
opponents. Hatfield brought in Fisher
DeBerry to install the Bone.
"People thought I was crazy,” Hat­
field recalled. "Three different times,
my athletic director [John Clune] stuck
his head in my office and asked. Are
you really sure you want to do this?”
Hatfield was so sure he took the of­
fense—he calls it the Flexbone—^with
him when he returned to his alma
mater, Arkansas, as head coach. And
DeBerry,^ elevated to the head spot at
Air Foihe, used it to guide the Falcons
to a 12-1 season in 1985 and won na­
tional Coach-of-the-Year honors.
"It’s an offense ideally suited for us
because once you understand it, you
don’t have to change it much,” DeBerry
said. "And you don’t have to have real
big, physical people to make it work. ”
It’s also more flexible than it origi­
nally was, DeBerry added. “There are
variations off of it. There are a lot of dif­
ferent ways you can skin a cat with it. ”
DeBerry has a theory why more
teams aren’t using the Wishbone.
“It takes time and patience to install
it and understand it, ” he said. "That’s
why a lot of people don’t want to mess
with it.”
But many of those who do have been
richly rewarded. For confirmation,
check with one B. Switzer in Norman,
Okla. He’ll be glad to offer a testimonial
straight from the heart.

ALESSONIN

by Jack Ebling,
Lansing State Journal

"1b be the best,
have to
listen to the
bestThat’s
why for my
investments,
I listen to
E.E Hutton.”
erhaps legendaiy Michigan State
coach Duffy Daugherfy ex­
plained the plight of college
football defenses as well as anyone.
"The ideal defense is a unit of 12
men,” the Hall of Fame leader and
humorist told a group of fellow coaches.
"With an extra man, you can be sure of
covering all the running lanes and all
the passing zones.
"However, until the rules committee
legalizes the extra man, you’ll have to

continue formulating defenses that
match strength for strength and adjust
for weakness.”
That’s the challenge defenses have
faced ever since football began, and
despite greater sophistication and
bigger, faster players, it’s still the case.
Modern football is actually played on
two levels. Fans see and hear the physi­
cal side, half ballet and half brute force.
But few notice the 22-man chess match,
with moves being called from the side­

lines and the press box.
This is where 270-pound pawns
capture runaway knights and check
pass-happy kings. All the while,
coaches are thinking several moves
ahead, seeking every advantage there is
on the board.
Inherently, every defense is faced
with two major disadvantages. It
doesn’t know when the ball will be
snapped, and it doesn’t know the point
of attack.
continued
TOUCHDOWN

A LESSON IN DEFENSE

The 4-3 defense features four defensive linemen (two ends and two
tackles) and three linebackers.

Yet, football history shows that
defenses have found the proper X for
every offensive O. Sometimes, the
crucial adjustment has taken some
time to uncover, but each offensive for­
mation has eventually met its strategic
match.
“We can stop any play if we practice
against it enough,” said Michigan
coach Bo Schembechler. "There is no
football play that cannot be stopped. I
respect an opponent that has a super
play that has been successful for them.
We want a stunt to stick a knife into that
pi^y”
Indeed, teams win more often when
they align 11 defenders to take away
what the opposition does best. Few
schools ever run and pass with equal
ease and efficiency. Great defenses
know that and try to disrupt an attack’s
preferred pattern.
Over the years, two distinctly differ­
ent defenses have evolved to do just
that—the 3-4 set (often called the ‘52 ”)
and the 4-3, with an extra down
lineman and only one inside linebacker.
Both have been refined to battle the
same offensive problems. In fact,
according to ex-Oklahoma coach Bud
Wilkinson, another Hall of Famer, all
defensive thinking has developed as a
counter to the 11 formations that have
shaped modern offense.
They are: 1) the Single-Wing, 2) the

Option-type running games and
read-oriented passing attacks are now
in vogue as the dominant offensive
styles. Both frustrate defenses through
the same principle—by quickly chang­
ing the point of attack after the ball is
snapped.
But aggressive, attacking defenses
can just as quickly change an entire
offensive game plan. By shifting, stunt­

middle, flanked by two tackles) and four linebackers.

ing and blitzing, swarming tacklers tiy
to force an attack toward its weak­
ness—and every offense has one.
Much of that thinking is sheer com­
mon-sense survival instinct. If a team is
playing Brigham Young or San Diego
State, it had better develop pass cover­
age skills. And if its schedule includes
Oklahoma and Nebraska, its run sup­
port should double-check all chinstraps.
The problem there is primarily one of
execution. A team can’t possibly hope
to customize its entire defense each
week. The answer is a flexible, adapt­
able system that requires only minor
adjustments—a system that considers
defensive limitations as well as offen­
sive desires.
"Everyone says your defense has to
be sound and simple,’’ Iowa coach
Hayden Fry said. “Who makes the defi­
nition ofwhat sound and simple is? You
have to do what it takes to win with
what you have to do it with. Ifyou don’t,
you aren’t going to be coaching very
long. ”
Unemployment is never the object,
so ground-bound teams will usually
find eight or nine tacklers bunched
near the line of scrimmage, and passing
schools will see five or six defensive
backs in more than just long-yardage
situations.
Liberalized blocking rules and im­
proved passing have all but eliminated
traditional defenses like the split-6 and
4-4, with their three-man secondaries.
If a team can’t protect against the pass
in the 1980s, it usually means too much
action for its extra-point defense.
Perhaps that’s why the 3-4 and 4-3
both employ a four-man secondary.
When a lineman misses a tackle, it’s
frequently a few extra yards. But when
someone gets free in the secondary, it
can lead to six points.
That awareness is seen in the four
major goals of most defenses: prevent­
ing the long run or pass, getting down­

right stingy close to the goal line, help­
ing the offense start with ,^ood field
position, and making big plays and
forcing turnovers.
Again, there’s a difference in theory
between those who favor the reading,
reacting defense and those who like an
aggressive approach that’s committed
to making things happen.
“I don’t want the kamikaze pilot who
flew 54 different missions,’’ new Notre
Dame coach Lou Holtz said. “There is a
difference between being involved and
being committed. You’ve heard about
the chicken and the pig. When it comes
to bacon and eggs, one is involved and
one is committed. ”
Most teams are committed to one
alignment and recruit to its distinct
position requirements. But few
prospects have, every desired quality,
and most teams have to prioritize
size, speed, toughness, quickness and
intelligence.
In the 3-4, the tendency is toward
lighter, cjpfcker players who can slant,
stunt and pursue to the ball. With a
noseguard over the center and two
tackles over the offensive tackles, the
standard “odd” defense leaves both
guards uncovered.
That gives two inside linebackers a
chance to react before the guards can
reach them. But it also creates what
coaches call “bubbles,” soft spots
where power plays have a built-in
advantage.
The 3-4 offers excellent pass cover­
age, with four linebackers dropping
into zones or helping to double-cover
receivers. The big problem comes in
rushing the passer, unless blitzing
gambles pay off.
“In theory, it’s OK against the run,”
Washington coach Don James said.
“But when we play an opponent that
throws the ball real well, we just can’t
get through to the quarterback with
three men.

A LESSON IN DEFENSE
continued

“There’s only one bubble with the
4-3, and we can cover for that with
stunts, ” said Michigan State’s George
Perles, designer of the great Steeler
defenses. “We want to cover every gap,
and by angling a tackle and stacking the
middle linebacker, he should be free to
move to the ball. ”
The 4-3 often offers a better pass rush
but only allows seven men to drop off
for coverage, leaving more seams in
zones and a bit less double-coverage
opportunity.
Both defenses use two outside line­
backers, a “Sam ” or strongside backer
over the tight end and a “Will ” or weakside backer to the split-end side of the
formation.
“It seems like everyone in college
football today wants to play linebacker,’’
Wisconsin coach Jim Hilles said. “They
want to major in business and play
linebacker. We used to call our outside
linebackers ends, but now they are
linebackers.”
The last line of defense in both
systems is a pair of cornerbacks, a

Um

‘‘We’ve gone to schemes that get us
into an even’ defense [with an extra
lineman and the center uncovered].
But I think the odd’ scheme, the old
‘50’ or ‘Oklahoma’ or whatever you
want to call it, is still a very sound
defense to play against the run. ”
Some insist the 4-3 or “even align­
ment ” is sounder. It’s often called the
“pro” defense, though many teams
have switched to the 3-4. And there’s no
comparison between the Stunt 4-3 ”
used in four Pittsburgh Super Bowl
victories and the “46“ defense Chicago
used to smash opponents last fall.
But the standard 4-3 has two tackles
opposite the offensive guards and a
pair of ends aligned to their outside.
The middle linebacker is responsible
for making a large share of the tackles,
and great care is taken to assure that
he’s unblocked.

Cornerbacks must have the courage to take on offensive linemen and the speed to cover
receivers one-on-one.

TOUCHDOWN

strong safety and a free safety. We re
talking about players with the courage
to take on a pulling guard and break up
the blocking, then fly 50 yards with a 9.4
sprinter the following down.

The cornerbacks, usually two of the
team’s best athletes, are responsible for
wide receivers in man coverage and
sideline areas or deep-thirds of the
field in zone work.
The strong safety—also known as a
rover, monster, wolf, chief, hammer or
hero at some schools—takes the tight
end in most man coverages and a deep
third in “rotate” coverage or a short
sideline in standard “ invert ” work.
The free safety usually lines up far­
thest from the line of scripimage and
plan's a deep center field on zones. On
man coverage, he’ll often,be involved in
double-coverage.
For most teams, coverage options
change considerably fn special situa­
tions. No defense in the country stays
with its basic look on third-and-28 at
midfield with a minute to go or with
fourth-and-goal at the one-yard line.
Teams frequently use “ nickel ” for­
mations, with five defensive backs, or
“ dime” looks, with six DBs, in prevent
situations. Michigan has had great suc­
cess with six-man secondaries and
fewer linebackers for entire games
against passing teams like Purdue.
Near the goal line, most teams substi­
tute bigger people and play six-, sevenor even eight-man lines. Pass coverage
is almost always man-to-man, with
offenses often “ picking ” defenders—an
illegal move, if spotted by the officials —
with crossing patterns and moving
screens. ^ '
Despjite all the scheming, the out­
come is seldom settled on a chalkboard.
The winner is determined on a 360-by160-foot playing field, with constantly
varying conditions. And it’s decided by
human beings, finely tuned athletes
with physical and psychological highs
and lows.
As former Ohio State coaching great
Woody Hayes insisted, “You win with
people.” Perhaps that’s shown by the
ebb and flow of offensive and defensive
superiority and by the determination of
defensive players through the decades.
"Before the season, our Sam line­
backer was asked what he thought
about being called “Junkyard Dogs,”’
Georgia coach Vince Dooley said of the
team’s defensive nickname. “He
answered, “It’s a lot better than some of
the things they called us last year.’ ”
When all 11 defenders do their job
just the way it has been designed,
sometimes they’re called something
else—champions.

THE GAME MUST GO ON
byAl Browning, The Knoxville News~Sentinel

eople like to talk about weather.
No doubt, that is the most fre­
quent topic of conversation for
strangers attempting to break the ice
after an introduction. So, it is not shock­
ing that numerous people have stories
about college football games played
under far from ideal conditions.
From rain to snow and ice.
From hot to cold.
From wind to fog.
And so on—weather or not, the
game goes on.
It is true. Not even inclement weather
can keep the young men of fall folly
from making their appointed rounds.
"I read the other day where the

had a baseball game postponed be­
cause of cold weather,” said former
Notre Dame center Dave Huffman. “I
was amused by that.”
Huffman had reason to be.
In 1979 Notre Dame and Houston
played in a Cotton Bowl game that was
dubbed "The Ice Bowl” by people brave
enough to watch it in person. That the
Fighting Irish won, 35-34, when Dallas
native Joe Unis kicked an extra point
after time had expired, is not as im­
portant as players surviving the
formidable chill.
“I knew it was bad when I looked up
in the stands and could pick out my
family,” Huffman said about the 20degree weather made much worse by

patches of ice on the playing field and a
17-mph wind. 'T even saw my father
wave goodbye to me as he left the
stadium. It had to be bad for him to
walk away from a game.
“Before the game, they used heli­
copters and an ice-smoothing machine
on the field. I walked out there and
said, ‘Hey, what is this, ice hockey?This
is the wrong sport. ’ I was kind of hoping
they would tell us to come back the
next day and get into it then.
"But the football players sort of enjoy
the macho image.”
Notre Dame did come back that day,
in another way—on the scoreboard.
Houston led, 34-12, before the Fighting
continued

TOUCHDOWN

WEATHER OR NOT

continued

Irish quarterback Joe Montana shook
off the effects of the chill to lead the
rally. After sipping soup during the
third quarter to get his body back into
working order, he passed to flanker
Chris Haines for a game-tying touch­
down as time expired.
“Then,” said Huffman, “my brother,
Tim, who played guard, jumped before
the snap on the extra-point kick [by
Unis]. I remember a look of terror on
Unis’ face when we huddled before a
second decisive kick after the offsides
penalty. He said, 'I might not be able to
get the football up there again. I hurt
my foot on the first one. It must be
frozen or something.’ ’’
To say Unis iced a dramatic victory is
an understatement.
Fog?
Yes, the home of the Louisiana State
Bengal Tigers can become strange in
the fog.
Florida State coach Bobby Bowden
discovered that about Tiger Stadium in
1982. His Seminoles lost, 55-21, in one of
the weirder games in history.
Early in the fourth quarter, a heavy
fog appeared in the stadium. Fans
could barely see the players on the
field.
"I remember standing there in amaze­
ment, ” Bowden said. "I turned to an
assistant coach and said. Look at it.
Can you believe it?’ It was the first time
I’d seen fog like that at eye level.
'But, being honest, I don’t think the
fog affected the game that night. I was
sort of glad to see it, since we were
beaten so badly. I didn’t want fans to
see what was going on. ”
He almost got his wish, according to
Jimmy Hyams, who at that time was a
sportswriter for The Baton Rouge
Morning Advocate.
“It was eerie,’’ Hyams said. “The fog
rolled in over the south end zone. It
reminded me of the movie The Ten
Commandments.’ A smoke-like screen
hovered over the stadium, then came
down onto the field.
"You could barely see the players.
You lost sight of the ball on passes. You
wondered how the receivers could
possibly see it.
“A berth in the Orange Bowl was at
stake. Fans started throwing oranges
late in the game, hitting players, which
prompted John Adams of our staff to
write. You couldn’t see the fog for the
oranges.’ There were thousands of
oranges on the field at the end of the
game.
"But, because the fog was so bad, all
you could see from the press box was
the top of the goal posts.”
There are times when inclement
weather can lead to grand perfor­
mances. It was the case in 1932, when
TOUCHDOWN

Alabama and Tennessee played in
Birmingham.

It rained so hard, with agustingwind
adding misery on an unseasonably
cold day, that both teams frequently
punted on first and second downs.
Enter Beattie Feathers of Tennessee
and John Cain of Alabama. The former
punted 21 times for a 48-yard average,
with one kick traveling a meager 18
yards. The latter punted 19 times for a
43-yard average.
An 11-yard punt by Cain set up the
only touchdown.
Fans like the late William deShazo
marveled: "Those boys kicked the ball
like demons. It was the only game I
could remember attending when my
shoes were filled with water. Mud was
ankle deep on the playing field.”
Said the late Tennessee coach, Gen.
Bob Neyland, whose team claimed a
dramatic 7-3 victory: "Never will I
witness another magnificent kicking
performance like that. ”
The equipment used that afternoon
adds to the greatness of what Feathers
and Cain did. In that era of college
football, inclement weather gear, such
as raincoats and extra uniforms, was
not available.
The high-top shoes and thick cotton
pants the punters wore became soggy
and heavy. The officials did not change
footballs, leaving Feathers and Cain
a water-logged, mud-coated toy to play
with.
Vendors sold makeshift raincoats,
cape-like and made of oil paper. They
sold out, at 50 cents each, in 10
minutes. Some of the 20,000 fans cut
holes in coats, put them over their
heads and peered through them. That
night, the laundry clerk at the Thomas
Jefferson Hotel refused to take suits
because he had more than 300 waiting
to be cleaned.
Many Tennessee fans did not mind.
They were dropping feathers from their
pillows from hotel windows to cele­
brate their victory.
What did it prove? That neither hell
nor high water can keep Tennessee and
Alabama from putting on a show on the
third Saturday in October.

Thoughts of Alabama bring to mind
remembrances of the late Paul " Bear "
Bryant. A self-pronounced plowhand
from Arkansas, he worked in sweltering
heat, but also toiled in ice and snow.
In 1950 and 1952, when Bryant
coached at Kentucky, he took cham­
pionship-caliber teams to Knoxville to
play Tennessee and left dismayed.
After a 7-0 loss in 1950, when thegame
was played after an unseasonable ice
storm in eight-degree temperatures, he
and the Kentucky players could not
leave town. The train they used was
frozen to the track.
In 1952, after 18.4 inches of snow fell
in Knoxville two days before the game,
Bryant had to deal with more misery
than that created by a 14-14 tie
on the field.
""We got back to Lexington that
night,” Bryant said, "but my car was
covered with snow and the roads were
iced over. I had to walk home, taking a
shortcut through heavy woods. It was a
long walk, to say the least.”
Snow got the best of Bryant in 1959,
too, when he took Alabama to Phila­
delphia to play Penn State in the first
Liberty Bowl. It was at halftime during
that Nittany Lions’ victory that the
coach developed a story that he used
many times.
"My players were country boys from
Dixie who had never seen snow,”
Bryant said. ""The field was covered that
afternoon, the wind was blowing at
about 40 mph and everybody from
Alabama was miserable.
""At halftime, my players huddled
around a potbellied stove like puppies
around their mom. They were shiver­
ing. I was at a loss for words. Finally,
I asked for volunteers to play the
second half.
""Not a^player raised his hand. It was
an ugly sight. But who could blame
them? Their coach was freezing with
them. ”
Snowy days in Philadelphia are not
unusual. Nor are they a surprise in
Wyoming, where the football-playing
Cowboys have learned strange weather
works both ways.
In 1982 a snowstorm in Laramie held
up the kickoff 90 minutes for a game
between homestanding Wyoming and
San Diego State. The visitors stayed the
night before in Cheyenne, 50 miles
away, and their bus could not get to the
stadium through Summit Pass, the

WEATHER OR NOT continued
the Cowboys upset powerful Brigham
Young, 33-20, after a snowstorm devel­
oped during the game.
But Wyoming, which normally has
70-degree temperatures for its initial
home game each season, then cooler
weather the rest of the way; has suf­
fered in heat while traveling. That is
another weather woe often associated
with intersectional scheduling.
In 1973 the Cowboys went to Arizona
State and lost, 47-0, in 97-degree heat.
In 1981, after leading at Oklahoma in
the fourth quarter, the Cowboys lost,
37-20, in 94-degree temperatures.
No wonder Southern Cal transported
air conditioners across the nation a few
years ago when playing at hot and
humid Florida.
No wonder Pittsburgh was pleased to
see a cooling rainstorm in 1982 after
suffering for a half in the heat against
Florida State. The Seminoles had a sur­
prise planned that backfired. They put
in an option-oriented offense for the
game, only to find the playing field too
wet to use it in the second half.
"We had Dan Marino and his pads in a
perfect trap,” said Bowden, "the boys
trom up north in the sweltering heat.
Then the rain came and the temper­

ature dropped 15 degrees. We had to
idle down the offense, too, which
definitely worked to their advantage.”
Wyoming discovered in 1983 that
storms of another kind can be hard to
deal with. When it rains in Southern
California, which is rarely, it pours. The
Cowboys defeated San Diego, 33-21, in
1983, after the playing field at Jack
Murphy Stadium in San Diego became
a mudhole.
Mississippi State placekicker Artie
Cosby had the winds of fate touch him
in a 1983 game against Ole Miss. He
lined up to make a chip shot field-goal
attempt that would have won the game
in the final few seconds.
Cosby kicked with enough force and
accuracy, prompting Mississippi State
fans in the end zone to leap with joy as
the football got to the crossbar. But a
freakish gust of wind stopped the foot­
ball and blew it backward. The football
hit the ground a yard in front of the dis­
mayed placekicker.
Ole Miss won. Cosby received a letter
from a fan who read about the peculiar
field-goal attempt.
"The guy told me he studied weather
a lot, but he’d never seen or heard
about anything that strange,” Cosby

said. "In fact, he said it was a one-in-amillion chance that something like that
would happen at that precise spot at
that precise time.”
Being prepared for inclement weath­
er is the key, as Bowden discovered in
1976, his first season at Florida State,
when the Seminoles played North
Texas State in the Lone Star State.

“At halftime, my players

Hear his stoiy:
^
"It was 80 degrees all week in Talla­
hassee as we practiced for the game.
Then, it was like that for our workout
in Denton.
"But the night before the game a freak
snowstorm hit town. A cold wind blew
into town from the plains of Oklahoma.
We had five inches of snow on the
ground Saturday morning, with more
coming down.
"I sent a manager to a local hardware
store to buy every pair of gloves and
every stocking cap they had in stock.
Eighty percent of our players are from
Florida. Most of them had never seen
snow. They saw a lot that day.
"It was homecoming at North Texas
State, with only 1,000 people there, with
my wife walching the game from a bus
parked ^ next to the stadium. You
couldn I see anything except two goal
posts. They had to use highway
markers on the sidelines so we’d know
where the yard lines were.
"North Texas State led us, 21-14, with
two minutes to play. We drove for a
touchdown and went for two. Our full­
back dived into the line on the extra­
point attempt. The referee literally
scraped snow to find the goal line
before he could rule that we had taken
the lead.
"When it comes to weather, that’s
how it is in this business. You never can
tell. For instance, it was so bad that day
that I just told our players to go out
there and have a good time, knowing all
along they couldn’t possibly enjoy
something like that. There didn’t seem
to be any way we could play that game.
But we did.”
Get the picture?
The game must go on—weather or not.

Yodll want it even

that players and teams are better than

Some people set higher standards for themselves. They come out
early. And stay late. Funny, how they're usually the winners.
At Ricoh, we set higher product standards. And we put in that
extra effort. Maybe that's why Ricoh's line of copiers,
digital facsimile, laser printers, and shredders are setting
new standards of perfprmance in today's modern
office. And that's why Ricoh cameras are winning
the attention of amateurs and professionals alike in
the world of photography.
Be a winner. Demand that extra effort. Ask for Ricoh. We Respond.

CLARION UNIVERSITY 1986 FOOTBALL ROSTER

The fact that both of these

Corvettes are on Goodyear Eagle Sheet
rodiak is no coincidence.

The 1986 Corvette Convertible.
Factory specified tires: Goodyear Eagle VR “Gatorback” street radials.
t

Every Corvette made since
1984 comes with just one make
of tire; the Goodyear Eagle VR
“Gatorback" street radial.
Which is no coincidence.
Because the Eagle VR
'
“Gatorback” was developed
specifically for the Corvette’s
tremendous cornering, handling
and speed capabilities.
Considering the performance
of the Eagle VR “Gatorback,” it’s
not surprising that successful

SCCA Showroom Stock Endurance
racing teams like Rippie/Anderson
also choose an Eagle street radial;*
The Eagle VR S “Gatorback,”
a version of the Eagle VR
“Gatorback” made for ultimate
grip rather than ultimate treadlife.
The success of both the Eagle
VR and VR S “Gatorbacks” has a
common source:
Goodyear’s ability to engineer
better high-performance radials.
For virtually every performance car.

O Its
• « really
* no coincidence
So
that the Eagle VR is to be found
on every Corvette made.
Or that the Eagle VRSis the
favorite tire of people who race
Corvettes in the SCCA Showroom
Stock Endurance Series.
In fact, when you think of how
the Eagles perform, it’s no coinci­
dence at all.
^res shaved to racing depth. Before you race on
boodyear street radials, write the Goodyear Tire &
Company, PQ Box 9125, Akron, Ohio
44305 for preparation recommendations and
procedures.

YOU EITHER HAVE GOODYEAR EAGLES. OR YOU NEED THEM.

’t's getting so you can 't tell the coaches without a scorecard, either.
College football teams are turning to a variety of experts to help
them prepare their athletes for the big game. Dietitians and dance
instructors arejoining in the ejfort. Even more traditional members
of the coaching staff are being given titles that better describe their
duties—Job descriptions like "strength and conditioning co­
ordinator" or "speed and strength coach."

TOUCHDOWN

Training table lineups are changing,
too. While a coach once ordered piles of
steaks and sour cream-laden baked
potatoes for his players, sports nutri­
tionists now are pushing for more
carbohydrates in the diet to provide
energy for strenuous daily workouts.
Players also are being advised to eat
foods high in thiamine to avoid fatigue
and to drink plenty of cold water
during hot-weather practices to ward
ofif dehydration.
Textbooks which once said that an
athlete needed 4,000 to 5,000 calories a
day are being revised upward by at least
1.000 calories. One study found college
linemen averaging 10,000 calories a
and some taking in as many as
14.000 to 16,000 calories. The recom­
mended total for a college-age non-athletic man is 2,700 calories.
You have to talk about players by
position,” said Sarah H. Short, profes­
sor of nutrition at Syracuse University.
She has kept diet analysis records on
Syracuse athletes in 18 men’s and
women’s sports—including intercolle­
giate football—since 1978. “Their needs
and body types are totally different de­
pending on the position, so you have to
have totally different counseling.
Players are always talking about muscle
and asking what they can eat to put on
muscle, which is ridiculous. The
coaches send individual players to me
if they want them to lose weight or gain
weight. It’s very difficult if they want to
put weight on them. They’re so active
that they re using up those calories.”
Short said that once a player reaches
the minimum level of vitamins and
nutrients through the foods he eats, he
can get the additional calories through
virtually any food. "There’s no such
thing as an empty calorie for a football
player. What they need are the calories
because they are using up all of them, ”
she said. "They’re used to being big
eaters. Often they’ll have another foil
dinner after the training table, then
have snacks all evening.”
However, Short warned that college
football players need to watch their
diets once they are no longer involved
in such strenuous exercise. "They have
to cut back on the cholesterol and fat.
This is difficult because it’s what fills
them up,” she said.
Football players burn calories in a
variety of ways. Some individuals enroll
in tae kwon do or freestyle wrestling
classes to improve flexibility and to
develop quicker reactions. And some
schools are setting up programs for
their entire teams to break the monot­
ony of the running-weightlifting offsea­
son workouts. If the Chicago Bears can

strut to the Super Bowl Shuffle, why not
make aerobic dance part of the training
regimen?
Tennessee has had an aerobic dance
program for its football players for the
past two years, and won the 1985
Southeastern Conference title. The
program runs eight weeks, starting in
January and continuing until the start
of spring football practice. Besides
aerobic dance twice a week, the train­
ing routine includes sprint-running
drills designed by a track coach (twice a
week! and weightlifting (three times a
week). Tim Kerin, the Volunteers’ head
athletic trainer, said the aerobic dance
class improved the players’ overall flex­
ibility (and hip flexibility in particular),
increased the players’ abdominal
strength, provided a good cardiovascu­
lar woricout and reduced injuries, espe­
cially in spring practice.
“Major-college football is a 12months-a-year project,” said Kerin.
“ Anytime you can lighten it up, you’ll
have a better attitude among the

athletes. We didn’t let up in the
intensity of our workouts, we just
changed the approach. It’s amazing
what will happen ifyou put a pretty girl
in front of a bunch of big burly guys and
play music they like.”
Auburn’s 1983 team, which many
believed should have been named
national champion, had used an
aerobic dance program the previous
offseason. One of the players took the
concept even further. David King, who
was a rookie defensive back in 1985
v^th the NFL’s San Diego Chargers, has
been involved in serious dance classes
since he was 17. He has studied ballet,
jazz and,mbdern dance, and hopes to
perfornj^ in videos or with a company
someday.
“I have become more flexible, and
I’ve had only one serious injury since
I’ve been dancing,” King said. “ I’ve
never had a pulled muscle, and I have
better balance. They should employ it
in all sports. It helps. ”
King, who is 5-9 and weighs 178
pounds, was twice an All-SEC choice
and led Auburn in interceptions as a
freshman and sophomore. That might
have been enough to silence some
critics, but King said he still felt he had
to prove he could be both an athlete
and an artist.
The dance develops muscles that
you wouldn t think you’d use in jump­
ing and running, when you’re blocking
someone, chasing someone or tackling,”
png said. “And people will look at you
in a different way instead of stereo­
typing you as a dumb jock.”

Introducing the Toshiba DX-7. The world's first digital
VCR. It does everything a VCR is supposed to do (only
better). And something quite remarkable—it can freeze
broadcast television.
By using the VCR's tuner you can actually bring
"As The World Turns" to a grinding halt. Arrest "Miami
Vice" in the middle of a bust. Or stop "All My Children" in
a second.
How? The digital DX-7 isn't just smart, it's brilliant.
We've built in the power of four home computers—
1.15 megabit of memory. And what the DX-7 does with
that memory is unforgettable.

Crystal clear still and slow motion
The Toshiba digital DX-7 uses an analog-digital
converter which selects and stores crystal-clear images in
its memory control IC's. The stored images are then

reproduced on a real-time basis. The result is a picture
that is stock-still, vivid and completely noiseless. And
unlike anything you've ever seen from a conventional VCR.

Hear your favorite video in stereo
The digital DX-7 also features everything you'd expect
in a high-quality VCR—including superb stereo high-fi sound.
There are also four heads. Toshiba's exclusive HQ
Pro Circuitry. Voltage synthesized tuning. 26-function wire­
less remote with direct access. Four-event/7-day
programmable timer. One touch record. Auto-rewind/
power off.
And it's all packaged in a design that's as sleek, sexy

he Texas-Arkansas shootout of
1969 saw President Richard Nixon
anoint the winner (Texas,
15-14) as national champion.
The Miami-Nebraska Orange Bowl of
Jan. 2, 1984, was as exciting a game as
you could ask for (Miami won the na­
tional championship, 31-30), and Doug
Flutie’s last-gasp 48-yard “Hail Maiy"
touchdown pass that gave Boston Col­
lege a 47-45 triumph over Miami the
following November capped one of
college football’s most exciting contests.
But the greatest game of all?
Seven of the 17 confrontations be­
tween No. 1 and No. 2 since The Asso­
ciated Press began its poll in 1936 have
been one-sided affairs, and the TexasAricansas shootout was fought with
popguns compared to the Thanks­
giving feast accorded football fans on
Nov. 25, 1971, in Norman, Okla.
The "Big Red" Cornhuskers of Ne­
braska, 10-0, were ranked No. 1—and
would finish there for their second con­
secutive national championship. The
"Big Red" Sooners of Oklahoma, 9-0,
were ranked No. 2—and would finish
there.

turn 3:32 into the game by Johnny
Rodgers, who would win the 1972 Heisman Trophy), 7-3,14-3 and 14-10, before
Oklahoma forged ahead, 17-14, when
Jack Mildren threw a 24-yard touch­
down pass to Jon Harrison five seconds
before halftime. It was the first time all
season Nebraska trailed, but the slim
lead was small comfort to an Oklahoma
team that led after two periods in
first downs, 14-5, and in total
yardage, 311-91.
In the third quarter, it was Nebraska
on top, 21-17, and then, 28-17, on two
short runs by Jeff Kinney, but Okla­
homa pulled within 28-24 on Mildren’s
three-yard run, his second touchdown
of the game.
In the final period, Mildren again
teamed up with Harrison, this time on a
^7-yard pass—Mildren’s six comple­
tions were good for a whopping 188
yards—that gave the Sooners a 31-28
lead with 7:10 remaining. But Kinney’s
fourth touchdown, a three-yard run
with 1:38 left to play, capped a 74-yard
drive in the gathering darkness and a
light rain and gave Nebraska a 35-31
victoiy.
We knew we could score,” said
Kinney, who wasn’t blessed with
blazing speed or waterbug moves but
carried 31 times for 174 yards and broke

Nebraska’s career rushing record. "We
were just a bunch of seniors, juniors
and sophomores out there who knew
we had to win. It was our whole season,
our whole careers. It was the most
important game in my life... in any­
body’s life. ”
Quarterback Jerry Tagge piloted
Nebraska on scoring drives of 54, 53, 61
and 74 yards. Meanwhile, Mildren took
Oklahoma on touchdown strikes cover­
ing 80, 78, 73 and 69 yards against a
rugged Nebraska "Blackshirt’’ defense
that included the All-America likes of
Rich Glover, Willjo Harper and Larry
Jacobson and had allowed opponents
to penetrate its 20-yard line only 12
times in 10 games.
Oklahoma wasn’t without some big
names of its own. All-America Tom
Brahaney was the center, Greg Pruitt
and Joe Wylie were among the running
backs, and the defensive line included
Lucious Selmon, Raymond "Sugar
Bear” Hamilton and Derland Moore.
Trailing, 31-28, Nebraska started from
its own 26. The winning drive included
Kinney’s 17-yard run around left end
behind fullback Maury Damkroger’s
block, an 11-yard pass from Tagge to
Rodgers and Kinney’s left-end sweep
for 13 yards.

In all photography, light is the basic
element with which you work. It
determines what film you use, what
apertures and shutter speeds you
choose.. .even the lens you select.
Proper lighting can make a common
subject great; bad lighting can ruin
the best sports shot.
Films are rated according to their
sensitivity to light. Somewhere on the
film canister, you’ll see the letters ISO
and a number from, say, 25 to 1000.
That number is the film speed, and the
higher it is, the more sensitive thefilm
is to light. Generally, fast or highly
sensitive filmstocks are also more
grainy than their slower, less sensitive

brothers. This characteristic can be
used for artistic ends, but most
photographers like the finer resolu­
tion of slower films.
Choosing the right filmstock de­
pends on a number of variables. If
you’re shooting dune buggies at noon
on the Mohave desert, an ISO 25 or 64
film will do just fine. In fact, you might
have trouble using an ISO 160 or 400
film; it might be too sensitive to light,
forcing you to use very small aper­
tures or very high shutter speeds. If
you’re going to be shooting a football
game on a dull grey afternoon in
December, though, you’ll need all the
speed you can get, especially if you
want to use the faster shutter speeds
to freeze action.
If you’re shooting black and white
film, you’ve got a good deal of flexibil­
ity. B&W has a great deal of latitude:
you can be off as much as two f-stops
from the correct exposure and still get
a decent negative. Color films, both
negative and slide, unfortunately
have less latitude. If you’re off by
more than aboutone-half of an f-stop,
you’ll begin to see a color shift.

B&W has another advantage, too.
The film can be “forced,” or exposed
as if it had an ISO rating of two or
three times its actual number. Your
photo lab can compensate for the
forced underexposure by “push pro­
cessing,” or extending the developing
time. (Among the colorfilms, Kodak’s
Ektachrome slide film can be forced
and push processed.) If the sun hides
behind the clouds and you decide to
force a film, remember to expose the
entire roll at the forced ISO number.
Since thecompensation is done in the
developing process, you can’t correct
partially forced rolls of film!
What do you do if you load a film
that’s too sensitive for the light
conditions? The best answer is to use
an inexpensive accessory called a
“neutral density” filter, which mounts
in front of your lens and reduces the
amount of light passing through to
the film. ND filters are available in
strengths that reduce exposure by
one to three f-stops.
While B&W film is versatile, most
photographers prefer to shoot color.
Color negative films, which produce
prints, are available in speeds up to
ISO 1000, and many have a latitude of
one f-stop with acceptable results.
Color positive film, used to make
slides, has less latitude, but there’s
one filmstock—Kodak’s P800/1600—
that’s designed to be forced and push
processed. You can actually shoot
this film at ISO 3200!
Sooner or later, though, you’re
going to be shooting indoors. If you
supplement inadequate indoor light­
ing with electronic flash, make sure
that you choose a color film that’s
balanced for daylight. (If you use day­
light film under tungsten lights in­
doors, you’ll notice a decided shift
toward the red in all the colors.) Use a
tungsten-balanced film for correct
color values when shooting indoors.
Fluorescent lighting is something of a
problem, but using daylight film with
an FL-D filter provides a pretty good
answer.

when Nebraska turned loose its great

had the power to roar through the.

and agility to make tacklers miss, or
harder than he
had hit them. He also had the ability to
bounce his 200 pounds outside and run

makes the game so interesting and so
much fun to watch.

i-rno better college football player
m America than Nebraska fullback Sam
Francis ... one of the nation’s best allaround athletes, as well. That summer
he competed in the 1936 Olympic
Games as a shot-putter for theU.S. team,
having held the national championship
for two years.
Francis finished fourth in the Berlin
Olympics, and second to Yale’s Lany

Philadelphia Eagles.
The Cornhuskers of 1936 were
coached by Dana X. Bible. They were a
povverful football team that was ranked
m the Top 10 eveiy weekofthe season,
eventually finishing ninth in the first
Associated Press poll. Francis was their
key player, abetted by a talented
halfback named Lloyd Cardwell and a
strong, mobile team that won seven of
nine games.
But it was Francis who made the
Cornhuskers go. He ran and passed
the ball; played linebacker on defense;
did the punting and placekicking;
an at the end of the season, he was
a unanimous selection on every AllAmerica team.
"I guess you would call it a pretty

Francis, who spent 28 years as a ca­

Kansas State, still reveres Coach Bible.

said. He was a high-class man, who

Nebraska didn’t do too badlyin those
days... and Francis couldn’t have
done much better. In the first game of
the season, he ran 97yards for a touch­
down against Iowa State, and Cardwell
got three more scores.

speed, he also was a great open field

dodge tacklers and simply run away

Francis, said Cardwell, who lives in
Omaha, was no slouch either. “He was a
big, powerful inside runner who just

“I always believed we could have

Francis was a one-man gang when
Nebraska played Pitt, but it wasn’t quite
enough and the Com huskers lost their
only other game that season, though he
had a 21-yard TD pass to Cardwell.
In his final game, against Oregon

scoring a touchdown,6n the seventh
play of the game; and before the first

College Football
n the first full year following the end
of World War II, college gridirons
were flooded with players who had
dreamed of returning to the game.
Many have said that getting back to the
game was one of the major incentives
for survival in foxholes, cockpits and
gun turrets.
Age was no factor here. Consider that
when the University of Pennsylvania
opened its 1946 season against La­
fayette, its captain for that game was
Eddie Allen, who had spent nearly six
years as a member of the Armed Forces.
If that prolonged tour of duty had taken
a serious toll, it was not apparent, be­
cause he set a school record with five
touchdowns, three in the first half His
other two came within 61 seconds of
each other in the third quarter, when
he scored on a five-yard run, and then
kicked off, recovered a fumbled
Lafayette lateral on the return and
punched in his final TD a couple of
plays later.
Down in Tennessee, Walter Slater
from Providence, R.I., had been a mem­
ber of Coach John W. Barnhill’s 1941
and 1942 teams, the latter winning the

I

Sugar Bowl; he returned for the 1946
season and was elected team captain.
Gen. Robert R. Neyland Jr. had returned
as head coach after five years of active
duty, and welcomed to the football
field an array of 17-year-olds and
service veterans.
“We had enough good players for two
foil teams and that’s what Gen. Neyland
used, ” Slater said fi’om his home in St.
Augustine, Fla., where he spent most of
his life, first as a high school coach,
then as business manager for the
Florida School for the Deaf and Blind.
“The nominal first team played the first
and third quarters. The second team
had the second and fourth quarters,
without any deviation.
We had the ball at Alabama’s oneyard line at the end of the first quarter.

and he took out the entire team and put
in the other team, and it scored. ”
r Neyland, a graduate of West Point,
vvas one of college football’s coaching
giants, with 173 victories in 21 years.
Slater said he was “a bulldog, very au­
thoritarian, much like Jock Sutherland
[whom Slater played for in the NFL at
Pittsburgh], a man who was very aloof,
hard-driving and almost mistake-free. ”
Neyjarid’s teams were always strong
defefisively, very conservative on of­
fense, he stressed kicking and using
field position as a prime tool. Slaterwas
his chief punt returner, and his biggest
play in that department was a 57-yard
return for a touchdown in a 7-0 victory
over Kentucl^.
"Several years ago, one of my former
players, who is a high school coach, at­
tended a clinic at which George Blanda
lectured on the art of punting, ” Slater
recalled. “George was a fine college
punter and in the course of his talk, he
warned his listeners about getting the
proper height and distance.
I got burned once in a game against
Tennessee when a man named Walt
Slater returned one of my kicks for the
game’s only score,’ Blanda told his au­
dience. Well, my former player couldn’t

what happened.”

1946 that got a 20-14 victory and still
is in the record book as the Vols’ longest
punt return. Earlier, in the 1941 season,
when he was just a sophomore, he
had a 73-yarder against the University
of Da34on.
Slater’s team lost only to Wake Forest
in 1946, but he faced such great stars as
Harry Gilmer at Alabama, Charley
“Choo-Choo” Justice at North Carolina
and Charley Conerly at the University
of Mississippi. In his first game that sea­
son, Tennessee beat Georgia Tech, 13-9,
in what Slater thought was the toughest
game of the year.
Bobby Dodd had Frank Broyles at
quarterback, ” said Slater, "and he gave
us fits. Dodd and I became great friends
when I got into coaching and we always
spent time together every year.
North Carolina had us beaten until
I got that punt return for a TD but,
ironically, the only time I ever saw

After serving In WW II, Walter Slater re­
turned to Tennessee to captain the Vols’
football team.

Justice was in that game. I never had
an opportunity to meet him and it
wasn t until many, many years later
that I met Gilmer.”
What effect did the war have on his
playing?
It took a lot out of everyone,”
Slater said. " But all of us had just
one dream when we were away—to
get back and play at least one more
season. I was 27 years old in my final
season at Tennessee bu4 we were just
so happy to get back to the game, age
never was a factor. ”
And it didn’t seem to matter to
anyone on that Tennessee team, which
played in the Orange Bowl, losing to
Rice, 8-0.
"Two bowl games four years apart
was something, ” he said. "But being
able to come home and play again
meant everything. ”

im Crawford was exactly what
you’d expect of a man who had
spent most of his life in Graybull, Wyo.
He was whipsaw lean, and conducted
himself with the quiet certainty that
Hollywood used to reserve for the town
marshall who kept law and order,
seemingly without raising his voice.
Back in 1956, many in college foot­
ball’s establishment weren’t prepared
to see a good player come out of the
Rocky Mountains and dominate one of
its most prestigious statistics, but in his
own quiet, steady way, Crawford led all
of the nation’s rushers, with 1,104 yards
on 200 carries, and landed on the AllAmerica teams picked by Look
magazine and the College Football
Writers Association.
The Rocky Mountains are considered
a neutral zone by those who believe the
game can only be played along either
coast, or on the flatlands of the South,

J

Southwest and Midwest. That form of
prejudice was certainly in evidence a
couple of years ago when Brigham
Young University won the national
championship, amidst a chorus of
grumbling by some who questioned the
strength of BYU’s opposition in the
Western Athletic Conference.
It was no different in 1956. Wyoming
had a perfect (10-0) season, but didn’t
even make the nation’s Top-10 rank­
ings. They were invited to return for a

second straight Sun Bowl appearance,
having won the year before, but
Crawford said his teammates felt it
really wasn’t worth it.
“We’d go down there, they’dgive us a
Mickey Mouse watch and allow us to
watch a bullfight, and then we’d have to
work our butts off” he recalled.“A lot of
the guys, myself included, had invita­
tions from some of the All-Star bowl
games and we preferred to play in
them.”
Crawford played in the East-West
game. A week before reporting, he in­
jured his leg in a skiing accident and
found he could run at about 75 percent
of his usual speed, “and that wasn’t
much at 100 percent. Still, I got a kickoff
back 90 yards that set up our only
touchdown and we won, 7-6.”
His fondest memories during the sea­
son were of playing with his younger
brother, Jeriy, a sophomore at Wyom­
ing at the time.
“We played together all our lives, and
he was the only player on the team who
could tackle me during our scrim-

When Wyoming opened with a 40-13

them combined for 177 yards. Through­
out the season, Jim Crawford dueled
Billy Ray Barnes of Wake Forest for the
NCAA rushing lead, but it might not

Crawford said.
Wyoming had two scores to settle
in 1956. They had lost to Denver, 6-3,
in a controversial game the previous

champion Rocky Marciano to make my

how he had come up the hard way.’’

road, too.

were perfect. The group included Terry

Dick Barton, who grew fi’om 145

lege days, and tackle Bill Wheeler,
whom McLaughlin once goodnaturedly described to his mother as
"weak but slow.’’
Jerry Hyatt was the team’s biggest
player, a 205-pounder who played
center. He never played football until
he went to W&L, and it pleased his
coach to tell him, "You don’t have any
bad habits for me to break.”
Steve Suttle, the quarterback, is now
a lawyer in his native Texas.
"I never planned to play college
football,” he said. "I was looking for
a good, small liberal arts college but

McLaughlin sought players fix)m East­
ern prep schools, particularly the heavily
populated area of Connecticut, where
there seems to be a boys’ prep school in
every other town. All have good high
school football programs.
McLaughlin got the most from his
players, but in a way that mixed humor,
understanding and hard work. Tragi­
cally, he was killed in the late ’60s, but
his former players have established an
endowed scholarship at the school in
his memory.
As in any perfect season,there were a
couple of scary points along the way.
W«&,L barely won its first game, 7-6, over
Harnpden-Sydney, though the defense
held the losers to a minus 10 yards and
didn’t permit them to throw one pass.
In the final game of the season, at
Washington University in St. Louis on
Thanksgiving Day, the team had only
four hours of sleep. Its plane was forced
down in Evansville, Ind., and the
players bussed the remaining distance

to St. Louis, arriving at three in the
morning for a 10 a.m. game. They arose
at seven, and three hours later were in
the game.
W&L fell behind, 14-0, and after Jim
Hickey’s 80-yard touchdown pass from
Chuck Lane, later a publicity director
for the Green Bay Packers, Washington
scored again for a 20-6 lead.
But halfback Charles Gummey, with a
140-yard day, led a running attack that
rolled up 372 yards, never once being
thrown for a loss, and the Generals
came back in the second half to win,
33-20. Gummey scored twice and the
passing game, modest in its efforts, still
got 158 yards from just five
completions.
One of the most whimsical things
that most of those players remember
was their adoption of a popular song of
the day, “Running Bear. ” They sang it
constantly, even before a game. The day
McLaughlin came into the locker room
and saw his team tense with woriy
about protecting its perfect record, he
told Hyatt, "Sing 'Running Bear.’’’
He did, in his own style, and soon the

entire locker room was breaking up; the
tension had eased.
That wasn’t the only effect. The visiting team s locker room was next door,
and the cinder block wall separating
the two rooms did not reach the ceiling.
Those guys in the other dressing
room must have thought they were
about to play a bunch of loonies,” said
Bob Payne, a tackle on the team. "After
hearing us sing, they were nice to us
and let us win.”

roof to help it grow and stay fresh. But
major league players found that the
glare from the sunlight made it almost
impossible to track fly balls and popups, so the rafters were covered. With
the coverings went the real grass.
In 1966, the problem was solved and
a new word was coined: Astroturf The
en tire playing surface was covered with
this synthetic carpet, and now, a major
college stadium without one of several
types of this artificial surface is a rarity.
But back in 1966, it was a brand
new world of questions, for which
Houston coach Bill Yeoman had to
find solutions.
"We got a head start because Judge
Hofheinz had strips of the stufl laid out
and he asked our players to do their
cuts and breaks and some running, to
get an idea of how a football player
would react, ” Yeoman recalled. "Our
continued

kids tried it out and they all came back
saying how great it was. I think the
judge was trying to get psychological
acceptance more than anything, to get
the kids believing there was no differ­
ence and cut down on any complaints.
"So we went out and did a lot of
drills—one-on-ones, pass routes, back­
pedals—everything we did on natural
grass, and ther^ didn’t seem to be
much difference. If anything, I could
see it would help our team because we
had a group of quick kids and that kind
of surface simply accentuates any
quickness. It helped their traction get­
ting into and out of cuts, even after they
wet down the field to keep skin abra­
sions to a minimum. There was no dif­
ference indoors on dry or wet surfaces.

continued

"It became clear to me almost imme­
diately,” Yeoman continued, “that I
was seeing a revolution in how the
game would be played. Players were
quicker, they could run faster and you
never had to worry about being slowed
down in muddy conditions. ”
The biggest immediate problem 20
years ago was footwear. Among the
kinds available. Yeoman looked at four
or five different soccer shoes with
small-nubbed soles and heels, unlike
the longer, rubber cleats of the conven­
tional football shoes worn on grass.
“Our kids worked in real good with
-------------- -------------<0---------- -----------------

those shoes, so we established a shoe
bank for visiting teams,” Yeoman said.
“ We provided their footwear for a long
time until those surfaces became com­
monplace, and teams had to stock
shoes for them. We also had to stock
shoes when we went out and played on
real grass.”
The start of that revolution certainly
did not slow down Houston. The Cou­
gars defeated Washington State, 21-7, as
Warren McVea caught a record-tying
99-yard touchdown pass from Bo Bur­
ris, who also threw another pair to half­
back Dickie Post.
Somehow, though, even 20 years
later, the smell of dirt apd grass mixed
together on a crisp fafi afternoon can­
not be matched... or, manufactured.

“ When it comes to beer,

Thats why Coors ages its beer longer than other
major brewers. Age any beer longer, it gets smoother,
more easy-drinking, more like Coors.

Coors is the one.

The Football Hall of Fame honors the success of over 500 of college football’s greatest players and coaches.

n a mock locker room off to the
side, a lifelike Knute Rockne gives
his famous halftime "win one for
the Gipper” speech.
"Gipp never made it through his last
year at Notre Dame,” Rockne says.
“When I went to see him in the hospital,
his condition was grave. Somebody
said, "It’s tough to go, Gipp,’ and Gipp
opened his eyes and smiled and said,
'What’s tough about it? I’ve got no
complaints.’ To me he said. It’s all
right. Rock, I’m not afraid. But some
day, when the team is up against it,
when things are going bad and the
breaks are beating the boys, tell them to
go in there with all they’ve got and win
just one for the Gipper. I don’t know
where I’ll be then. Rock, but I’ll know
about it, and I’ll be happy.’ ”
The locker room, Rockne, and in the
hallway real Notre Dame lockers and
benches are all part of the National
Football Foundation’s College Football
Hall of Fame at the Kings Island Amuse­
ment Park, on Interstate 71 between
Cincinnati and Columbus, Ohio.
For anyone interested in college foot­
ball, and there isn’t a Saturday
afternoon game going on, this is the
place to be.
The building looks as though it were
transplanted from a college campus,
with ivy already starting to climb the
brick walls. Just inside the foyer on the

right is a replica Heisman Trophy. On
the left is the imposing block of granite
on top of the Lombardi Award for the
nation’s outstanding lineman.
The building was erected and
opened in 1978, and the Hall of Fame is
continually looking for more memora­
bilia and better ways to display it. But
there is quite enough already to leave
even the casual fan bug-eyed over a
sport that traces its origin to the Nov. 6,
1869 afternoon when Princeton and
Rutgers kicked off for the first time.
The game has undergone numerous
changes since then. In one trophy case,
a display of old rubber and leather nose
guards reminds new fans what old
players once wore. There are footballs
that look more like basketballs and uni­
forms that once draped the splendid
forms of such stars as Joe Bellino of
Navy, Glenn Davis of Army, Archie
Griffin of Ohio State and Biggie Munn of
Minnesota.
A relatively new display features
one of the original officials’ flags,
first used at Youngstown during the
Youngstown State-Oklahoma City game
on Oct. 16, 1941.
Youngstown State coach "’Dike”
Beede thought the game would be
better served with flags to call infrac­
tions instead of horns and whistles,
which had been used at that time.
Jack McPhee, an official who worked

that game, liked the idea, and saved his
flag, which is half red and half white.
He later used it in other games, includ­
ing a Rose Bowl, and the idea caught
on.
Today the penalty flags are yellow,
and whistles are used only to stop play,
but you can see the original penalty flag
in the Hall of Fame.
You can see Bob Gain’s kicking shoe,
too. He won the Outland Trophy in
1950 at Kentucky.
You can see one of the balls used in
Coach Paul "Bear” Bryant’s 315th
coaching victory that broke Amos
Alonzo Staggs record 314. Bryant’s
Alabama Crimson Tide beat Auburn,
28-17, on Nov. 28, 1981.
In a special room is the MacArthur
Bowl, a silver punch bowl-sized replica
stadium awarded since 1959 to college
football’s best team. "There is no
substitute for victory, ” is inscribed on
the side, and looming above the trophy
is MacArthur’s likeness with two foot­
ball players—one from Princeton and
one from Rutgers—the two schools
that participated in the first official
game.
The inscription on the trophy reads:
"Upon the fields of friendly strife are
sown the seeds that, upon other fields,
on other days, will bear the fruits of
victory.”

annuaWy by the National Football
Foundation to the outstanding college football team of the season.

Pop Warner, who won 313 games as a
coach, is memorialized with pictures
and his death mask. There are two
tickets to the 1942 Rose Bowl game, the
only one not played in Pasadena. This
one was held in Duke Stadium because
of the war, and the cost was $4.40 a seat.
Times have changed.
On the ground floor, visitors walk on
artificial turf while they scan murals
and pictures of games past. There is the
Time Tunnel which traces the begin­
nings of the game—a student named
William Webb Ellis stunned his friends
at the Rugby School in England in 1823
when he picked up the ball and ran it in
for a score and a banner which reads

“For God, for Country and for Yale.”
Upstairs, which is the entrance level,
are computers that allow visitors to
match strategy with actual coaching
decisions, games to test football knowl­
edge and a 250-word essay on every
member in the Hall.
The Hall itselfisaregalroomwithenshrinees faces etched on strips of
Plexiglas. There is a section for players
and one for coaches, nearly 500
honorees in all.
Just outside the Hall are other pic­
tures and memorabilia hanging from
the ceiling. A press box pass from the
1959 Army-Navy game reads “Ladies not
admitted except teletypists.”

No chauvinism there. Nearby is the
typewriter of famed sportswriter Grantland Rice, and in the back, pictures
from the first Army-Navy game, played
on the Army parade field at West Point,
Sept. 29, 1890. Navy, having already
played six preliminaiy games to none
for Army, won, and the rivalry was on.
There are three movie rooms in addi­
tion to the one that holds Rockne,
including the big James Stewart
Theater, the Coaches’ Theater and the
Fred Flintstone Theater. The first two
show continuous films on college foot­
ball; the latter explains football rules to
youngsters.

TODAY’S TWA. FIND OUT HOW GOOD WE REALIY ARE.

icture this:
A big, strapping youth, about 21 or 22, saunters into
the local college hangout to spend some time with
his pals. He's wearing a white letterman’s sweater that’s
covered with symbols of his athletic diversity. There’s the
letter he won in football. The patch he got for making the all­
conference basketball team. The medal he won at the
conference track meet. The letter he was awarded for his
participation in baseball—
Clip out that picture and save it.
Put it next to the one of the brontosaurus and the dodo
bird. File it under “extinct. ”
Playing more than one sport at the college level used to be
fairly common. Until 20 or 25 years £igo, it was not unusual to
find a college football player who also carried his talents onto
the running track, the baseball diamond, the wrestling mat,
the basketball court, or even the lacrosse field.
Today those athletes are rare, perhaps not so much
because there aren’t as many good athletes but because
expanded schedules have made it virtually impossible to
compete in sports in consecutive seasons. Football schedules
now run into December and January, when basketball and
wrestling are already in fiall swing. Basketball and wrestling
run into baseball and track. Baseball and track conflict with
spring football workouts.
Of course, that hasn’t stopped some guys from trying.
Take, for example, Andre Bison, a thoroughbred who
played every sport there was at Northwestern High School in
Flint, Mich., and seemed determined to do the same as a
freshman at Michigan State.
Last fall Bison was a starting flanker for the Spartans’
football team. After playing in the All-American Bowl in
December, he joined Coach Jud Heathcote’s basketball team
and took part in 10 games. He then joined the track team and,
with only two weeks of practice, set a school record and
finished second in the long jump in the Big Ten indoor meet.
continued

From college football to professional baseball to Olympic
gold, Jim Thorpe was an athlete of many talents.

It was all kind of fun, Rison will tell
you, but he won’t try it again. This year
he 11 skip basketball.
^
I didn’t like being [two months] be­
hind everybody, ” said Rison. ‘Tm too
much of a competitor to sit on the
bench. I’d rather spend my time run­
ning indoor track, where I can be in­
creasing my speed and endurance. ”
Rison now hopes to eventually deaSi'""*? ^^o^ld-class long jumper in
addition to being a football star.
The prevailing feeling among many
modern athletes is that even competing
m two sports is too much. Concentrate
your efforts on one sport, they say, and
excel at it. But guys like Rison grimace
at such a thought.

"It doesn’t make any difference, ” he
said T think I’d become restless if I
could only play one sport.”
The late Jim Thorpe undoubtedly
would have agreed. It seems like any
discussion of multi-sport athletes
bejns uath Thorpe, a Sac-and-Fox
Indian who, perhaps more than any
other athlete, exhibited the versatility
necessaiy to excel in a variety of
endeavors.
Thorpe was, of course, a gold medal
vwnner m the decathlon in the 1912

he a^so played profes­
sional baseball for a few years, was an
All-America in football at Carlisle, and 1
shovyed, at various times in his life, ex­
ceptional skills as a swimmer, golfer,
bowler, boxer and wrestler. There prob­
ably was never an athlete who could do
so many things so well.

winner Johnny Lujack
also found time to star In basketball
baseball and track at Notre Dame.
’

Despite his Olympic achievements,
Thorpe is probably almost as well re­
membered as a football hero. Discovered by the legendaiy coach Glenn
op Warner while taking part in a
pickup game between classes, Thorpe
became an immediate star.
Legend has it that Warner tested the
youngster in his first practice by having
him tiy to run through the entire
arlisle team. Thorpe easily covered
the distance from one goal line to the
other without being knocked off his
fret. Amazed and flustered, Warner had
Thorpe tiy it a second time. Again, he
made it through the entire team with­
out being tackled.

Thorpe, and the legend, were off
and running.
In his first season, 1907, Thorpe led
Carlisle to a 10-2-1 record. He starred for
th^B school in 1908, 1911 and 1912, too.
There seemingly were no limits to what
he coul^ do on the field.
As a runner, Thorpe had blinding
speed, an astonishing change of pace, a
stiff-arm that shattered defenders and a
snaky twist of the hips that shed tackI lers, Arthur Daley of The New York
Tunes once wrote. "He could sweep the
ends, slash off tackle or splinter the
center of the line. He passed well in an
era when there was little passing. He
was a phenomenon as a kicker—punts
placements or drop kicks. He blocked
beautifully. His one flaw as a football
player was that he’d occasionally not
put out to his fullest ability.”
Others through the years have tried
to live up to Thorpe’s standards.
In the 1920s, Ernie Nevers was doing
Tho^e-like things under the tutelage
of the same man who had earlier
coached Thorpe—Pop Warner. Nevers
was an All-America fullback under
Warner at Stanford in 1923-25 and was,
Warner often claimed, a better football
player than Thorpe. In three years of

varsity competition Nevers never lost a
yard from scrimmage.
Nevers also found time to participate
in basketball, baseball and track. Like
Thorpe and many other athletes of
their era, Nevers often combined two
sports in one day, throwing the discus
in a track meet and then hustling over
to the baseball field for a game. There
were some who claimed Nevers’ skills
on the baseball diamond—as a hardthrowing pitcher and slugger of tapemeasure home runs—were equal to his
talents on the football field.
“He was the greatest football player
who ever lived, ” wrote Don Liebendorfer in his history of Stanford ath­
letics. Liebendorfer pointed out that
Nevers was a big, friendly sort of guy.
“But put Nevers in one of the many ath­
letic uniforms he wore and he was a
driving, relentless, ferocious compe­
titor, who swept aside all who stood in
his way.”
The same could be said of another
West Coast prodigy about 15years later.
Jackie Robinson showed his versatility
by starring for UCLA in the same four
sports—football, baseball, basketball
and track. In fact, Robinson, who later
became the first black man to play pro­
fessional baseball, sometimes con­
tended that baseball wasn’t even his
best sport.
A few years later, Johnny Lujack of
Notre Dame showed his skills by play-

TOUCHDOWN

Fleet-footed Willie Gault excelled In football and track at

ing the same four sports as a sopho­
more in college. Lujack became the
only Notre Dame athlete since 1915 to
letter in four sports during his firstyear
of eligibility.
Besides being a top-notch football
player—he won the Heisman Trophy in
1947—Lujack also was the starting
point guard on the basketball team,
split his time between second base and
right field on the baseball team, and
was a high jumper and undefeated
javelin thrower on the track team.
Several other college football players
through the 1930s, ’40s and ’50s showed
similar versatility. Jim Brown, an AllAmerica fullback at Syracuse, also was
an All-America lacrosse player. Angelo
Bertelli who, like Lujack, won the
Heisman as a Notre Dame quarterback,
also played some hockey in the ’40s for
the South Bend school.
By the mid-1960s the days of the
three- or four-sport athlete were vir­
tually gone, although there have been
several two-sport standouts. The most
common combination of sports seems
to be football and track, since their
seasons don’t conflict and the skills
necessary to excel at them, like foot
speed and upper body strength, are
similar.
«
Among the most notable have been
Tennessee’s Willie Gault and Southern
Methodist’s Michael Carter. Gault was
an All-America wide receiver and an
NCAA champion in the high hurdles
and 60-yard dash. Carter was a stand­

out defensive tackle and shot-putter.
He won a silver medal in the 1984
Olympics. ,
Current/Purdue star Ron Woodson,
in addition to being an All-Big Ten
defensive back, is also a three-time Big
Ten hurdles champion.
Others have combined football and
wrestling or football and baseball.
Several modern-day major league base­
ball players found time to play football
during their college days, including
Steve Garvey (Michigan State), Keith
Moreland (Texas), Reggie Jackson
(Arizona State), and John Stearns (Colo­
rado). Another major leaguer, Dave
Winfield, was a basketball standout at
Minnesota.
More recently. Bo Jackson ofAuburn,
the 1985 Heisman Trophy winner, also
received national recognition for his
baseball exploits and vvas faced with
the tough choice between pro football
and pro baseball. A few years earlier,
Stanford’s All-America quarterback
John Elway had a similar decision to
make.
But the three-sport men, the Andre
Risons, are rare today.
Rare? They’re just about extinct.

ILL ENGH: EDINBORO’S SUPER BOOSTER
By Mickey Curtis, Sports Information Assistant

Mark Merritt, Scott Broking, D.*„‘ cS'to MMc1tso"M?ch

<*-“>= •""> ®ritt. Rick Browning

You ve heard of the subway alumni; the term used to describe
those college sports fanatics around the country who have close ties
with schools they didn’t graduate from. Well, Edinboro University has
a subway alumnus right in its own backyard who can rival any of these
■ major-school sports supporters.
Edinboro’s Super Booster is Bill Engh, who for the past 40 years
has been a faithful follower of the local university’s and high school’s
sports programs. Engh takes an interest in all sports, but his favorite is
football, especially Fighting Scot style.
Engh loves watching the Scots play so much that he has missed
just two of their games
home and away — since he moved to
Edinboro in 1947. That’s only two misses in approximately 400 games,
a remarkable achievement in any league.
“I love the game and I love Edinboro,” says the 75-year-old Engh
from his home on Maple Drive. “Edinboro is our home and even
though we weren t alumni we adopted Edinboro as our team. I just
took Edinboro under my wing as an alma mater, that’s all. I just
enjoyed watching them play, win or lose.
“I’d rather watch Edinboro play than pay $15 to see the
(Cleveland) Browns even though I am a Browns fan,” he continued.
Engh attends the games with his wife Gretchen, who is
Edinboro’s second biggest booster. She has missed only three of the
games during the past 40 years. You could say it’s a marriage made for
the gridiron.
“We’re very compatible and anything I want to do, we’ll do
together,” said Bill. “She didn’t know anything about football before
she met me but now she knows as much as I do. She enjoys the games,
especially the halftime performances.”
One reason the Enghs follow the Scots wherever they play is
because they enjoy traveling. The Enghs, for instance, left on
Thursday for last week’s game at West Chester and returned on
I Monday.
During the offseason they travel throughout the world by
freighter. And it was because of a freighter excursion that the Enghs
missed one of their games, the home opener in 1980. (Bill Engh missed
his first game sometime during the 1950’s when he was bedridden in
the hospital.) The freighter trip six years ago extended into the second
week of the football season, but the Enghs still managed to make it for
the opening kickoff of a game played at Millersville.
“We arrived in New York City at six in the morning on the day of
the game and right away I rented a car to Millersville,” Engh related.
Engh also enjoys the trips because it gives him an opportunity to
know the players and the coaches and their wives. He was good friends
with Art McComb and Sox Harrison, two of the more popular
coaches in the history of Edinboro sports. “Art was probably one of
the best offensive coaches I knew but he just didn’t have the talent,”
Engh says. And Engh still considers former head coach Bill
McDonald one of his closest friends.
The players are also special people to Engh. He visits with them
during practice and in the locker room, and by the time they are
upperclassmen he knows most of them on a first-name basis.
“We’ve more or less adopted the Gierlak boys (Tom, Dan and
Dave) that played here,” he says with a smile. Engh is also one of the
top financial supporters of the EUP athletic scholarship fund. And
before he retired as manager of the Culbertson Hills golf course in
1976 he made a special effort to obtain summer jobs at the club for the
University’s male and female athletes.

37

Engh has many fond memories of the athletes on and off the field.
He said the most unusual thing he has witnessed was during the
Waynesburg game in 1971 when quarterback Joe Sanford and
halfback A1 Raines both ran the same distance — 91 yards — from
scrimmage for touchdowns in the same quarter.
Engh says the best two teams were the 1970-71 Edinboro clubs.
He said one of the most satisfying wins was when Edinboro knocked
off highly-regarded West Chester for its first and only Pennsylvania
Conference championship in 1970. But one of the most disappointing
losses occurred a week later when Westminster defeated Edinboro on
a muddy field in New Castle to advance to the NAIA national finals.
“That was probably the biggest disappointment because we had a
chance to go to California,” he said. “Jack Bestwick (the Westminster
quarterback who is now Fairview High School’s coach) had a hot day
for them. The game was supposed to be played at Three Rivers
Stadium but Westminster’s coach, who was a member of the NAIA
committee, helped to get it changed because he knew his team couldn’t
stay with us on a dry field.”
The years preceding 1970 were lean ones for the Edinboro
football program, but Engh refused to budge his seat in the stands.
Win or lose, he’s always been a booster.
“Today, we have much more talent than we did back then,” he
said. “When I first started watching Edinboro, 500 people at the games
was a big crowd, and teams such as Clarion, Indiana and Slippery
Rock saw Edinboro as a warmup for the next opponent.
“Everyone likes to win, and at times it was discouraging, but I
always said there was another Saturday. And a win over Clarion,
Indiana or Slippery Rock then made it all worthwhile.”
Engh doesn’t consider himself a real expert of the game, leaving
the coaching to the coaches. But he’s been around long enough to
know what it takes to win.
“Basically, football is played no different today than it was when I
played,” he says. “It’s still a fundamental game, and if you don’t have
the blocking, the runner can’t go anywhere.”
The big difference, he says, is that football players are much
larger today. “One hundred-ninty pounds was big in my days,” says
Engh, who was a wingback for four years in high school but was too
small to play in college. His high school hero while growing up in
Illinois was the legendary Red Grange, and Engh says he was in the
stands for the memorable game in the late 1920’s when Grange
galloped for four quick touchdowns in the mini’s big win over
Michigan.
“Grange was a lot like Herschel Walker,” Engh recalls. “He was
big, fast and shifty and ran like a deer.”
Engh still roots for the Fighting Illini, but as long as he lives in
Edinboro they’ll be his second favorite team. Engh, who was inducted
into Edinboro University’s Athletic Hall of Fame two years ago, plans
to follow the Fighting Scots forever.
“As long as the Lord will let me keep walking on my feet I’ll be
there,” he says.

For the past 16 years, the
National Youth Sports Pro­
gram (NYSP) has provided
the opportunity for youth from
disadvantaged backgrounds to
receive benefits from a stuctured
sports and enrichment program held
at a local college or university facility.
These activities are provided at no cost to
the participants.
Approximately 55,000 youngsters nationwide par­
ticipated in 1986. Each project is organized into
two areas: an activity program that includes instruc­
tion and competition in a variety of sports, and an
enrichment program that includes instruction in
substance abuse, nutrition, personal health, and
career and educational opportunities.
Economically disadvantaged young people are
introduced to a collegiate environment and receive
instruction from highly trained staff members to
enhance sports skills and self concept. Boys and
girls, ages 10 through 16 years old, are eligible to
participate in the program which took place at 140
colleges and universities in 42 states in 1986. The
NYSP program is effective June 1 through August 31
on five-week, five-days-per-week or six-week, fourdays-per-week schedules.
Each participant receives a free medical ex­
amination. Any previously undetected physical
problems that are identified receive ade­
quate follow-up treatment; one full USDAapproved meal and snack also are provided on
a daily basis.
The NYSP motto is "walk tall, talk tall and stand tall." The objective
is that each person involved with the summer program exemplify
this by the end of the project.

The Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference is one of the few leagues in the
nation to sponsor a championship game in football. The East vs. West conference
championship game, known as the “State Game,” has been in existence since 1960.
Mythical champions were picked by sportswriters from 1934 until 1950 with the
champion determined by the Saylor system from 1951 until 1959.
All members of the conference (with individual sports exceptions) compete at
the NCAA Division II level and have since 1980. Athletes and teams have won
numerous honors in national competitions over the years and have helped the
PSAC become one of the most respected “small college” conferences in the nation.

RCA CAPTURES MORE MAGIC, MORE MEMORIES,
MORE EASILY.
If you settle for less than RCAIs Pro Wcnder, thafs
exactly what you’ll get. Less convenience.
Less recordingllme. Less performance.
Why? Because Pro Wonder Is a beautifully
simple, fully automatic camera and recorder
thafs as easy to use as load, aim and shoot.
Pro Wonder is a light­
weight, 5H pound
camcorder that uses
standard VHS cassettes
lor a full 2 hour, 40 min­
ute recording time.

m- SM

Pro Wonder is unusually responsive, adjusting
for focus and changes in light levels auto*
matically. And its low light capability (7 lux
rating) takes the worry out of shooting indoors.
So before you settle for anything less, see
the new Pro Wonder Camcorder at your
nearest RCA dealer. And,
while you’re at your RCA
dealer, be sure to check
out RCAs new CMR 300
solid state Pro Wonder
Camcorder.
