With the addition of the liberal arts degree
program in 1962, the College's curriculum has
expanded to include numerous course selections.
Curricula range from elementary and secondary
education, special fields in art, library science, music
and special education to medical technology.
The College stresses friendly relations among
students and faculty, as well as active student
participation in decisions affecting them. Quality
education has been an Edinboro tradition for more
than a century as graduates have distinguished
themselves in the professions, business and
industry.
With the appointment of Dr. Chester T.
McNerney as Edinboro State's President in 1966, the
College has undergone innovations and reorgani­
zation that have enabled the College to keep in step
with the times and maintain its academic excellence.
Edinboro State College is at the brink of a new
era and has taken the initiative for a new direction
among the state colleges of Pennsylvania. The
College plans to offer programs in such diverse fields
as international education, business administration
and engineering to meet its leadership responsibili­
ties in the years ahead.

Edinboro President - Dr. Chester T. McNerney

From its beginning as a private academy in 1856,
Edinboro State College has surged to the forefront as
one of the leading educational institutions in
Western Pennsylvania. Located just 15 miles south
of Erie, Pa., the College's setting offers a contrast of
seasons. Enhanced by the beauty of Edinboro Lake,
the community serves as a resort center during the
summer while numerous nearby ski slopes offer a
variety of recreation in the picturesque winter
months. The College's location enables it to readily
serve the tri-state area with its proximity to
Pittsburgh, Pa. (125 miles), Cleveland, Ohio (100
miles) and Buffalo, New York (120 miles). Moreover,
it is easily accessible from the north and south by
Interstate 79 and east and west by Interstate 90.
Until recently the chief objective of the College
was the education and preparation of classroom
teachers for the schools of the Commonwealth. With
the implementation of programs in arts, sciences and
humanities, Edinboro has now become a multi­
purpose institution of higher learning serving the
educational needs of a tri-state area.
The College has experienced a rapid growth rate
in students, faculty and physical plant. Forty
buildings cover the 585-acre campus which now
services more than 6,000 students.
In its university oriented role, the College makes
.contributions in the fields of education, government,
conservation, environmental improvement, urban
and rural problems, crime prevention, and service to
business and industry. Edinboro seeks to offer
educational programs which will afford maximum
opportunities to its potential students and to meet the
educational needs of its region from a professional
and a cultural standpoint.

Keeping pace with the College's academic
progress has been a building program which has
dramatically changed the physical appearance of the
campus over the past decade. Included among the
additions are a nine-acre lake, an athletic complex,
dormitory quadrant and new student services
facilities such as a student union, dining hall, health
center, library and administration building.

POINT PRODUCING SCOTS’ BIGGEST CHALLENGE.
direction of the tenth-year coach who has notched a nineseason mark of 51 -30-6. On hand to help attain that goal
are 30 lettermen, among which are 15 starters from last
year's club.
The majority of the returnees reporting back on the
field are listed on the defensive unit. Nine starters are back
in uniform with most of the experience found along the
front wall where veteran tackles Bryan Smith (6-3, 230,
Sr.), Randy Bradshaw (6-3, 235, Sr.) and Ron Link (6-3,
220, So.) operate, sandwiched by a trio of alternating ends
in Bruno Capogreco(6-3,205, Sr.),Tom Lang(6-0,203, Sr.)
and Willie Curry (6-3, 215, Jr.).
Anchoring the middle at nose guard will be Tom
Feneziani (6-0, 215, So.), who is backed up by Gene Taylor
(6-3, 220, So.), a converted defensive tackle.
Curry ranked fourth on last year's tackling chart with
90 stops to his credit and posted a team-leading seven
sacs, while Tom Lang at the other terminal spot finished
sixth with 89 hits. Link and Smith ended seventh and
eighth logging respective 83 and 81 tackle totals.
Bradshaw was lost after the sixth game because of a
broken leg, but still managed 52 thumps to be listed 11th
among the tackling leaders.

Linebacker Jim Krentz—"Keystone” of the defense.

When Edinboro State's Bill McDonald scans the roster
of his 1978 football squad, he feels a lot more confident
than he did a year ago. No, the Scots' head coach isn't
predicting any championships, but his team should be a
very respectable challenger in the Pennsylvania Confer­
ence's Western Division.
"With the number of experienced people we have
back, our mistakes should be cut down," predicted
McDonald who saw his team post a disappointing 3-6-1
record last season.
If the "Men of McDonald" hold true to form, the
Fighting Scots should log a winning campaign under the

General Facts

Giving ample support behind the forward wall is inside
linebacker Jim Krentz (6-2, 225, Sr.), who will be
complemented at the other backer spot by either Phil Fagan
(6-1,195, Jr.) or Doug Smith (6-1,210, So.). Krentz, a firstteam All-Pennsylvania Conference Western Division
winner, was the squad's second leading tackier with 156
stops and snagged three interceptions last season. His
three-year total now reads 372 and he needs only 58 hits to
become the all-time leader.
The starting foursome policing the secondary will be
triple letter-winners Kevin Campbell and Dan Fiegl, who
work the cornerback posts, in addition to safeties Rayfield
Adams and Ken Petardi.
Petardi picked off three enemy aerials last fall while
Campbell followed with a pair of interceptions. Giving them
ample support in the defensive backfield are Ron Miller,
Nick Sobecki, Scott Lewandowski and Dan Allie.

“WILL WE BEAT OURSELVES?” — McDONALD
Offensively, the Scots have a strong corps of receivers,
but have done a lot of juggling to come up with an offensive
line which can clear the way for a crop of inexperienced,
but talented, running backs.
Dave Gallagher (5-10, 195, Sr.) and Bob Kunkle (6-0,
211, Sr.), owners of three varsity letters as guards, are the
mainstays of the offensive line. Working off their shoulders
will be Pat McKenrick (6-5, 230, Sr.) and Dave Jaworski (62, 225, Sr.) at the left and right tackle slots respectively.
McKenrick has been switched from tight end and Jaworski
from center where they both lettered last year.
Tom Greenstone (6-2, 220, Jr.), previously a defensive
lineman, is the number one backup at tackle with Jim
Weido (6-2, 220, So.) on hand to man either guard gap.
Rick Koschar (6-2, 202, So.) apparently has gotten the
nod at center, while both Tom Bourne (6-2, 195, So.) and
Mike Garlick (6-2, 205, So.) are battling for reserve roles in
the middle of the line.
Providing blocking power and also posing as receiving
threats at tight end are Bill Kruse (6-2, 215, Sr.) and Don
Strozyk (6-2, 215, Jr.). Kruse (7 rec., 106 yds.), last fall's
fourth leading receiver, has the edge, but Strozyk, a
converted fullback, appears to have found a home in the
Scots' offensive alignment.
Opposing defensive backs will draw tough assign­
ments in covering wide receivers Bob Jahn, Joe D'Amico
and Tim Beafcham. Jahn led the receiving corps a year ago
with 323 yards in 21 catches and was followed by D'Amico
(213 yds., 13 rec.) and Beacham (167 yds., 9 rec.).
Drawing beads on the starting spots in the ESC
backfield are fullbacks Andy Parma (5-9,200, Jr.)and Dave
Simile (5-10, 185, Sr.), along with speedsters Joe Early (59, 168, So.), Mike Ray (5-9, 170, Fr.) and Jim Rath (5-9,
177, So.). Simile pounded out 233 yards in 51 attempts in
1977 to showcases 4.6 yards per carry average and earned
third-place rushing honors. Parma, who touched the
pigskin only six times, romped 107 yards to garner the
number four position in the rushing stats. Even though the
entire group is lacking in experience and depth, they could
offer some surprising offensive fireworks.
Senior signal-caller, Mike Hill (6-2, 185), should
provide the leadership needed to direct the Scots' offensive
attack. Although the passing game is his strong points, he
appears ready to effectively engineer the Scots' groundminded veer offense. A pair of talented challengers follow
close behind in Rick Shover (6-0,185, Jr.) and transfer Jeff
Daub (6-1, 202, Jr.)
The kicking game is strong once again behind the
accurate toe of John Serrao and the punting of Dan Fiegl.
Serrao's six successful field goals in a single season are an
ESC record and Fiegl owns the season punting mark via his
39.4 yards per punt average.

at scot helm

While he directed Indiana University's offense, the Big
Indians registered 24 regular season victories against only
three defeats. In his final season at Indiana, the Tribe
finished unbeaten in nine outings and proved to be the
greatest offensive unit in the school's history with a 40
points-per-game average.
The Wall, Pa., native guided Hopewell High School to a
46-25-1 slate during his seven-year tenure as head coach.
His 1960 ball club defeated Braddock High 7-6 and broke
their WPIAL 58-game winning streak while his 1963 team
captured the Midwest Class A Championship.
The Fighting Scots' grid pilot served as an assistant
coach at Braddock High School through two undefeated
seasons and also at Latrobe High.
McDonald holds both a B.S. degree in education and a
M.Ed. from the Univ. of Cincinnati where he played
linebacker under Sid Gillman and his assistant coach Paul
Dietzel. This team was the original "Chinese Bandits," a
defensive unit which later became famous at Louisiana
State University.
After graduation from Cincinnati in 1952, the Scots'
mentor continued his education in post graduate work at
Penn State, Pitt and Indiana (Pa.) Universities. Bill and his
wife, Joanne, along with their three children - Amy, Jody
and Dave - reside in Edinboro.

Head Coach Bill McDonald notches 50th win.

Bill McDonald carries an impressive 51-30-6 record
into the 1978 season after nine years of leading the
Fighting Scots' gridiron program. Under his direction, ESC
gridders posted identical 9-1 slates in both 1970 and 1971
while piling up a winning streak of 21 straight regular
season games. His 51 -30-6 mark puts him at the top of the
winning percentage list among Edinboro State football
coaches with a 63 per cent reading.
After an initial 4-4-1 season in 1969, his Fighting
Scots became the greatest in ESC history when they went
8-0 in regular season play, captured the Lambert Bowl,
won the Pennsylvania Conference championship and
earned a berth in the NAIA national playoffs. His 1971 team
followed up with an undefeated regular season (9-0) and a
second straight PC Western Division title. Over 60
individual and team records have been established during
his first seven years at the reigns.
Upon completion of 1970's successful venture,
numerous post-season laurels were bestowed upon the
Scot's mentor. The Football Writers Association of New
York named McDonald Coach of the Year in the East while
the NAIA Area VIII and District 18 coaches as well as the
Pennsylvania Collegiate Press Association also rewarded
him with Coach of the Year honors.
Prior to his assignment at Edinboro, McDonald served
as assistant football coach at Indiana Univ. of Pa. for three
years and head coach at Hopewell High School from 19581965.

EDINBORO GRADS RETURN TO GUIDE SCOTS

The 1978 Edinboro State College Football coaching
staff includes, front row (l-r): Dennis Creehan, Rick
Darcangelo, Harry Morrison and Barney Rutkowski.

JIM BOWEN — Receivers

Jim Bowen will make it an even dozen years with
Edinboro State College football where he has coached
practically every phase of the program. This year, the
veteran mentor returns to the offense to assist a crop of
talented receivers. He has spent the past two seasons
directing the linebackers and produced a pair of AllConference standouts in Greg Sullivan and Jim Krentz.
Bowen served as backfield coach tutoring such greats as
Joe Sanford, Jim Romaniszyn, Bob Mengerink and Al
Raines. In 1975 he served as offensive coordinator when
the Scots finished 12th in the nation in total offense. Jim
was head football coach at Fairview High School for 10
years and compiled an outstanding record of 76 wins and
12 losses. His grid teams captured four league champion­
ships while riding 25 and 19 game winning streaks. The
knowledgeable Scot coach graduated from Slippery Rock
State in 1957 and earned his master's degree from Buffalo
University. Jim and his wife, Joyce, along with their 7
children, two of which are twin girls, reside in Girard.

DENNY CREEHAN — Def. Coordinator
Denny Creehan, a captain on Edinburo State's 1970
Lambert Bowl championship team, begins his second year
as the Scots' defensive coordinator where his specialty is
working with the secondary. Denny was accorded first
team all-east honors by the ECAC and first team all-state
Associated Press while performing as the Scots' strong
safety. A graduate of Bethel Park High School in Pittsburgh,
Denny has also earned an M.S. degree from Duquesne
University and his M.Ed. from Pitt, in addition to his B.S.
degree at Edinboro State. The Castle Shannon, Pa. native
served as defensive coordinator at Keystone Oaks High in
Pittsburgh for three years before joining the Pitt staff in
1974. After a year with the Panthers under Coach Johnny
Majors, Denny served as offensive coordinator at Carnegie
Mellon University for a single season. Denny resides in

in secondary school administration at Westminster. Rick
served as an assistant football coach at Cambridge Springs
High for two years and head coach for five campaigns. He
currently resides in Edinboro and is in his eighth year of
teaching American history and driver education at
Cambridge Springs High.

MIKE FERRARE — Defensive Line Asst.
Mike is another Edinboro State gridder of the past who
has returned to help the Fighting Scot program. He began
his football playing career at Erie's Strong Vincent High
where he was selected to the All-City first team as a middle
guard. He was also chosen Football Player of the Year by
the Strong Vincent Booster Club in 1969. After a year at
nearby Gannon College, Mike transferred to Edinboro
where he pursued a degree in secondary education. The
Erie product earned varsity letters in 1974 and 1975 while
logging time at middle guard for ESC. The new Scot coach,
who spends most of the day working for Goedecker Realty
in Erie, when quizzed about his return, said, "Edinboro
needed coaches. I have flexible hours and enjoy football, so
I'm back to help with something that always treated me
good."

ESC PROGRAM PACKED WITH PROFESSIONALS .
GEORGE GAST — Linebackers and Ends

MARK WORLEY — Defensive Line

George Gast returned to Edinboro State last year after
four seasons of coaching in the greater Cleveland, Ohio
area. Gast, who was an All-District 18 defensive end for the
Scots in 1972, will tutor the linebackers and ends, as well
as the specialty teams. Following graduation in 1973,
George spent one season as a linebacker for the
Youngstown Hardhats in the semi-pro ranks before
accepting a coaching and teaching position at Berea High
School. He spent the next three campaigns at Kenston High
School in Kenston, Ohio, where he served as an assistant
defensive coordinator and assistant wrestling coach.
George, his wife. Penny, and daughter, Meighan, are
currently living in Lawrence Towers on the ESC campus
where he is serving as head resident.

Returning to his alma mater via a graduate
assistantship, Mark Worley is back helping the Fighting
Scot football fortunes as a coach for the defensive line and
middle guards. Mark joined the ESC staff after a four-year
stint as a junior high football and wrestling coach in

mentor is a graduate of Holy Name High School in
Cleveland, Ohio, where he was a standout fullback
offensively and middle guard on defense. The Buckeye
native then ventured to Pennsylvania and became
linebacker for Edinboro State from 1969 through 1972.
Mark nailed down a second team All-Conference honor as
a senior in a year when the Pennsylvania Conference was
loaded with outstanding linebackers. He graduated in 1973

a center during his junior campaign andthen was a regular
defensive end in his senior season. After graduation from
Edinboro State College in 1972, he served as an assistant
coach at Cambridge Springs High School in Cambridge
Springs, Pa. When he returned to ESC, Tom spent a pair of
seasons sharpening the Scots’ defensive front four, but for

A NEW NAME

Spelling "Scots" at Steeler Stadium

Edinboro State's marching band under the secondyear direction of Hugh Callison, has undergone a major
face lifting to sport a new look for the 1978 season. The
165-member band has been renamed "The Spirit of Scots"
and is led for the first time by a unit of bagpipes.
"We wanted to make our band more exciting," said
who is assisted by Tim Cordell, also of the ESC music
department. "Our precision has improved as well as our
marching and 'Spirit of Scots' better describes us than
'Bank of Scots,' our previous name," he continued.
The new looking, new sounding band is comprised of a
unit of eight pipers, 20 Tam O'Shanters, three feature
twirlers, six majorettes and 126 instrumentalists. Also
included is senior drum major Ted Cook from Monroeville
who leads this year's marching contingent.
Spectators will be treated to a trio of outstanding
feature twirlers in Leigh Ann Potter from Monongahela,
Belle Vernon's Laurie Hixenbaugh and Lori Jackovitz of
Latrobe. All three own numerous honors, the most recent
of which was Laurie Hixenbaugh's selection as Miss
College Majorette of America. Leigh Ann Potter owns the
title of Miss Tri-State Majorette, while Lori jackovitz has the
distinction of being named Miss Pennsylvania State Solo
Champion.
Shows slated for home games are "A Salute to
Nightime Entertainment," for the opening gamefollowed a
week later by "Marching Musical Fantasy." A variety of
tunes centered around the theme "Get Small" is on tap for
the Clarion game, while "Gambler's Show" is the theme
for the Spirit of Scots' final appearance of the year.
Highlighting 1978's Homecoming entertainment, the
S^rit of Scots will present "Scotch and Soda," a rendition
of Scottish tunes and soda pop commercials.
The band has received much recogniation for its
outstanding performances and has made several guest
appearances in Three Rivers' Stadium to provide pre-game
and halftime entertainment for Pittsburgh Steeler games.

Riding the crest of a record that reads 90-21 over the past
four years, the women's volleyball team of Edinboro State
College is ready to assert itself again as one of the top
collegiate powers in the East.
Under the tutelage of Coach Pat McLane, the Lady Scots
have spiked their way to 17-5, 22-5, 23-2 and 28-9
seasons over the past four years. Enroute to last year's
record 28 victories, ESC was among the top eight college
and university teams in 12 eastern states for the fourth
consecutive year.
Such noted schools as Temple, Ohio University,
Delaware, Central Connecticut and Cincinnati fell to what
was considered the best team in Edinboro State's history.
The Lady Scots further distinguished their brilliant floor
play with wins over Cortland, Penn State and Syracuse in
the EAIAW regional tournament before being stopped in
the quarter finals by Maryland, a team they had beaten
earlier in the season.
Graduating seniors and transferring juniors left five of
the top eight slots open, but McLane is still optimistic in
what appears to be a rebuilding year. Ten returnees will be
joined by 10 freshmen who will be battling for varsity
positions on the roster.
"We have more freshmen than usual on hand," claims
the Scot coach, "but they have better high school playing
experience than in the past."

State, is expected to mold the team into another top
contender in the East. The squad's goal is selection for a
fifth straight time to play in the regional tournament at
Indiana University of Pennsylvania in November to decide
who represents the region in the national tournament.
Letter winners forming the nucleus of the Lady Scots'
1978-79 hopefuls include Kim Korver, Della Bayle, Sue
Davey and Chris Schroeder.
It won't take long for McLane's charges to find out how
they'll perform againstqualitycompetition when they trade
volleys in the 16-team Pitt Tournament in the season's

While Edinboro cross country coach Doug Watts is
not openly optimistic as in the past, 1978's running
Scots should still prove to be a formidible foe. "We
don't have the depth like we use to," claims Watts,
"but our top people are pretty good. Our biggest
problem is finding strong fourth and fifth place
winners."
Back to lead the pack is the district's defending
10,000 meter champion, Brian Jordan, who is of the
All-American caliber that Watts has been accus­
tomed to producing. Behind the talentedjuniorarean
appreciably improved Steve Dunham followed by
aspiring freshman Lance White, the Delaware state
mile champ. Junior Oscar Longo and freshman Craig
Ausel should be taking turnsforfourth and fifth place
finishes.
Under Watts' tutelage, the Scots hold the
distinction of winning back-to-back NAIA national
championships in 1975 and 1976 while having
claimed five district titles and snaring five Pennsyl­
vania Conference crowns. The Watts-men will also
be seeking to extend one of the country's longest
winning streaks which now reads 34 straight over a
five-year span. The Scots have registered five
consecutive unbeaten seasons.

The following pages of information encompass
a history of Edinboro State College football
which reflects competition as a four-year,
degree-granting institution that began in 1926.
Included in this information are scores from all
games played during that span of time to the
present, as well as a complete set of individual
and team records. Other interesting highlights,
along with last year's individual and team stats,
can also be found on these pages.

ALL-TIME SCORES 1926 - 1977

normal school and did not play a complete inter­
collegiate schedule. Therefore, any records prior to that
season should not be considered as part of the inter­

Saturday at Sox Harrison Stadium

HOME OF THE FIGHTING SCOTS — SOX HARRISON STADIUM
Serving as home for ESC athletes and fans is Sox
Harrison Stadium. The edifice was dedicated in the fall of
1965 in honor of "Sox” Harrison who served as head
football and basketball coach at the College for 35 years.
His 1931 -32 cage record of 11 wins and 1 loss still stands
as one of the best marks ever posted by an Edinboro
basketball team. Sox still enjoys watching the Fighting
Scots on Saturday afternoons as one of their most ardent
fans.
Complete facilities are located beneath the grandstand
area, which seats 3,000 people. Locker space for both the
home and visiting teams, the coaching staff offices and
locker room, the officials' dressing room, the training room.

facilities, equipment rooms, a large concession stand and
a glass enclosed press box.
In addition to the football field, the stadium also
contains complete track facilities. A quarter-mile oval, a
220 straight-away and asphalt approaches for the field
events highlight the home of the cinder sport.
Bleacher seats on the visitors side of the stadium bring
the total seating capacity to 5,500.
A new scoreboard, one of the largest in the Confer­
ence, is located at the south end of the field.
