The Clansmen have the talent to fill in the defense up front, but only testing under game conditions will prove who the top performers are. A total of 16 seniors, the most in ESC's grid history, dot the '71 roster along with 24 juniors and a host of promising sophomores. All the starters except the split and tight ends return to the of­ fensive unit which smashed all previous rushing records with a net total of 2,728 yards on the ground. Returning in tact is a backfield that averaged 4.7 yards a try every time the Scots carried the ball. Seven returnees give experience to a defense which complimented the Clan's offensive prowess. Last year's stingy defensive stalwarts allowed only 8.9 points a game throughout the '70 schedule and gave up only 64 yards a game on the ground.

Coach Bill McDonald's comments on the ensuing 1971 grid campaign reflect the caution of a rags to riches story. "We're anxiously waiting to see what happens this season,” claims McDonald. "Either the bubble will break or we'll find that our program has really come of age. Everyone knows that a dynasty isn't built in a year and we have some major obstacles to overcome before we can think of having another winner. We won last year because we had a fine defensive unit. Right now the biggest problem facing us is the rebuilding of that defense. Major holes have to be filled there with only five of the eleven starters returning. Mental attitude will also play an important part in our season. We surprised our opponents last year. This time it'll be tougher to win. They will be pointing toward us and we'll have to be up for every game.” McDonald also views the conference foes as being tougher for the 1971 schedule. "The West should be more evenly matched than it was last year. There'll be no easy game from the top to the bottom of the schedule. I feel that we have just as good a chance to win it as anyone else but, believe me, five major wars will have to be fought to get there.” Among the 25 lettermen returning for the reigning third-year mentor is an offensive machine that features quarterback Joe Sanford, fullback Bob Mengerink, tailback Al Raines and versatile flanker Jim Romaniszyn. This group exploded for a record 2,728 yards rushing last year and averaged 4.7 yards a carry. The quartet also accounted for the bulk of the Clan's scoring punch as Raines and Romaniszyn tied for top honors on the club with 9 TD's apiece while Sanford and Mengerink each crossed the white line five times. Raines, Sanford and Mengerink capped their junior year with First Team All-Conference awards. Raines, who was also named All-America Honorable Mention, continued to add to his running and scoring records as Edinboro's greatest offensive back. A bruised heart which sidelined the shifty tailback for five games last year slowed down his record rushing pace but he should be in top form to help the Scots defend their crown. A veteran offensive line which includes All-Conference guard, Paul Burkell along with tackles Ken Zbinovec and John Chakot, should pave the way for another impressive ground attack. Other returnees who saw action on the offense last season are tight end John Gecina, quarterback Scott McKissock and tackle Steve Mennen. "Handyman” Jack McCurry is also ready to step in wherever needed. A proven performer in either the offensive or defensive backfield, McCurry will most likely team up with the returning combination of Joe Sass and Dave Gates in the secondary to pick off enemy aerials. Posing the biggest question mark to the Scots' 1971 aspirations is their defensive line. Graduation took defensive tackle Ebby Hollins, named to every first team in the state, as well as All-Conference end Steve Hamm. Senior John Sullivan and junior Bill Bender have the inside track on the tackle slots, but the terminal posts are still up for grabs. Rick DiOrio, a regular tackle last year, could be available for duty if a mid-season injury responds to treatment. The switch of Tom Herman from offensive center to defensive end might solve one side of the problem. All-Conference selection Rich lorfido. Bob King and Gary Sisko form a trio of outstanding linebackers who pose a big threat to running backs. Seniors Santo Policicchio and Gordie Kissman will also see plenty of action. —5— BOB MISEYKA OG 6-0, 200, SO., BUTLER One of the few sophomores who might have a chance to see varsity action this year . . .

Hudiak Indicates Varsity Letter — Co-Caprams—Offense: Paul Burkell, Joe Sanford—Defense: Bob King, Joe Sass—Manager: Bob Thayer OFFENSIVE LINE COACH FRESHMAN DEFENSIVE COACH Chuck Blaney Chuck Blaney, a 1970 graduate of Adams State College is entering his second year of guiding the Scots' frosh program. An Aliquippa native, Blaney won three varsity letters in football, three in basketball and three in track at Hopewell High School. Via his football performances he earned All-State Honorable Mention and All-County honors. Upon grad­ uation Chuck enrolled at Coffeyville Junior College in Coffeyville, Kansas where he played two years of football as an offensive back and helped pave the way to 6-4 and 9-1 season finishes. He continued his gridiron career at Adams State in Alamosa, Colorado, and lettered as a back for the Indians. Chuck, his wife Donna and their 2!4-year-old son, Richard, live in Edinboro. FRESHMAN OFFENSIVE COACH Guy Conti Guy Conti, a Freeport, Pa., native was added to the Clan's gridiron staff this last summer. The Clarion grad served as head football coach at Northwestern High last fall and baseball mentor at Edinboro State for the past two years where his teams posted record breaking seasons. Conti spent a professional baseball stint with the Houston Astros organization as a catcher. The versatile athlete was an outstanding football player at Freeport High and Clarion State where he played quarterback. He has also served as a teacher, vice-principal, head baseball mentor and assistant basketball coach at Northwestern High School. Conti, his wife, Janet, and their children, Kim, Curt, Craig and Kelly, reside in Albion. Joe Shesman OFFENSIVE BACKS' COACH Jim Bowen Tony Zvonar — 16— Jim Bowen returns to guide the Clan's offensive backfield for the second straight season. Bowen coached the 1968 ESC freshman team that finished with a brilliant 4-1 season slate and was the varsity's offensive backfield coach in 1967. Bowen was head football coach at Fairview High School for the past 10 years and compiled an outstanding record of 76 wins and 12 losses. His grid teams have captured 4 league championships while riding 25 and 19 game winning streaks. Coach Bowen graduated from Slippery Rock State College in 1957 and also attended Buffalo University where he earned his master's degree. He and his wife, Joyce, along with their 7 children, two of which are twin girls, reside in Girard. TEAM TRAINER DEFENSIVE LINE COACH One of the prime reasons for Edinboro's defensive stubborness last year was the efforts of Tony Zvonar, a 1963 Shippensburg grad. Zvonar served in the Hopewell High School football ranks for 5 years and was a member of the Aliquippa High School staff in 1968 before joining the Scots 2 years ago. Tony also was an assistant track coach at his alma mater, Hopewell High. While capturing three varsity letters as an offensive tackle at Shippensburg, Zvonar received numerous grid awards. He was named as one of the Red Raiders' co-captains, selected to the all-conference team, the NAIA District 30 squad, and earned a berth on the allstate selections. The Scots' defensive line spe­ cialist and his new bride, Anne, reside in Edinboro. Joe Shesman, who was a highly successful football and baseball mentor at Fort LeBoeuf High School, returns for his third year on the Scots' staff to tutor a veteran offensive line. He served as an assistant coach at LeBoeuf for 11 seasons and then, after his appointment as head coach in 1966, he guided the Bisons to three straight winning seasons. A 1955 Edinboro grad, Joe earned four varsity letters in both football and track during his undergraduate days. As LeBoeuf's diamond coach, Shesman led the Bisons to winning slates for nine consecutive seasons, never finishing lower than third in the Erie County league and capturing four league championships. The Scot coach and his wife, Izzy, have three children. Matt, Kim and Karen. Bob Klingler Bob Klingler is commencing his fifth year on the Scots' staff as team trainer. The 1952 Lock Haven grad ventured to Hermann School of Physical Therapy in Houston, Texas, where he became a registered physical therapist in 1954, and later received his M.S. from Bucknell. Klingler taught at Milton Hershey, a private boys' school in Hershey, Pa., prior to accepting his ESC post. While at Milton Hershey, he served as the Spartans' head football mentor, head track coach and assistant basketball coach. Both his cinder and cage teams never experienced a losing season, while his grid teams continually posted successful campaigns in the powerful Capitol Area Conference. Bob, his wife, Jill, and daughter, Julie, make their home in Edinboro. — 17— HOW THE COACHES PICK THEM A poll of the Western Division coaches resulted in the following predicted order of finish for the Western teams. The coaches also felt that West Chester's Rams would repeat in the Eastern Division to once again meet Edinboro's Fighting Scots for the Pennsylvania Conference crown. Edinboro—After compiling their greatest season (9-1), the Fighting Scots under Bill McDonald should ride high again. Leading a nucleus of 25 returning lettermen for the state champs are offensive standouts Joe Sanford-QB, Bob Mengerink-FB, Al Raines-TB, Jim Romaniszyn-FLK and guard Paul Burkell. This unit headlined a ground attack that netted 4.7 yards a carry and a record 2,728 total yards. Defensive aces include Gary Sisko (LB, 6-0, 205), Bob King (LB, 6-0, 205), Rich lorfido (LB, 5-11,205) and halfback Joe Sass. Clarion—Coach Al Jacks should find a capable quarterback in junior Joe Marx. The Golden Eagles have their top ground-gainer and scorer returning in tailback Fred Rost along with veteran receiver Kevin Karrs, John Doto (T, 6-1, 210) and Mark Cidboy (E, 6-3, 210), a pair of two-year lettermen, lead the defensive line charge. Other top vets are safety Tony Eupizi and linebacker Bruce Ehrenberger. Slippery Rock—Bob DiSpirito's4-5 Rockets should rebound.They couldfind scoring punch in a backfield of quarterback Keith Reynolds, fullback John Bogosto and wingback John Suvoy. Stellar performers Ron Hunt (HB) and Tom Jenkins (DE, 6-2, 215) anchor the defense. Rebuilding both units will be aided by a crop of talented sophomores. California—Graduation claimed a strong defensive line and second-year coach John Katusa is still looking for a quarterback to run his wishbone offense. Backs Bob Elash, Jim Burns, Lou Phenizy and Tony Sargo (5-6,160) may help. Strong showings by Randy Urban (FB) or Gary DeHainaut (QB) could make the Fire Gods winners. Shippensburg—The Red Raiders pint heir hopes on the arm of junior Jim Monos and the capable hands of receiver Bob Hickes (6-2, 205). Available for duty at halfback is Ron Finley (6-0, 192), a leading pass catcher and rusher. All-Conference middle guard Bob Ockershausen shores up the defense. Lock Haven—Mike Packer is the magic name for the Bald Eagles' hopes. The brilliant quarterback finished as the NAIA's top passer in the nation while completing 149 of 319 tosses for 2,129 yards and 15 scoring aerials. Alex Nuzzo (FB, 6-1,200) and Wayne Hoffman (HB, 5-10,165) head a list of 10 returning starters. Look for the Eagles to pull some upsets. EASTERN DIVISION 1. West Chester 2. East Stroudsburg 3.

The Yellow Jackets have the distinction of capturing the national title in 1965 when they thumped Whitewater State (Wis.) by a 42-21 count at Tulsa, Oklahoma. The Jackets will be shooting for their 11th consecutive winning season with 23 lettermen to spearhead the 1971 campaign. "Inconsistent quarterbacking" was the biggest problem faced by head coach, Darrell Lewis, and his staff throughout the '70 schedule. "Last year we alternated three men at quarterback and it didn't allow them or the rest of the team to get used to the timing and commands. We just couldn't execute," commented Lewis. "We had several underclassmen letter," he added, "and we feel that without too much difficulty most of them will be able to fill vacancies left open by graduating seniors. However, the key to our season appears to center around the quarterback situation." A solid corps of receivers along with young but talented running backs should make the offense stronger. Top pass catchers include Jerry Rutkowski (6-2, 170) and Glenn Herrmann (6-1, 175), brother of Waynesburg-grad Don Herrmann who now stars for the New York Giants. Of the nine defensive lettermen returning, five were being used as starters at the end of the sea­ son with the others seeing plenty of action. "We feel that our line will be bigger and stronger," claimed Lewis. Leading the defensive front wall are end Jim Dumm (6-4, 250, Jr.), tackle Jim Dutton (6-0, 243, jr.) and tackle Ray Newhouse (6-0, 222, sr.). All of Waynesburg's losses last year came at the hands of NAIA or wire service ranked teams. 1971 OUTLOOK: If there's any one thing that coach Ray Urban enjoys, it's facing an opponent that depends on a passing attack to move the football. Last year Eureka ranked number one nationally in pass defense as only 43 of 142 passes were completed against a Red Devil secondary that intercepted 18 enemy aerials. The return of defensive backs Dave Bauman, Tom Gummow and Larry Anderson to the defensive backfield should give the Devils the inside track to national honors once again. While the Fighting Scots came away with their best defensive showing ever by ranking 23rd in the NAIA total defense stats. Eureka ranked 20th and allowed their opponents only 195 yards a game. Returning tackles Rich Blake (6-2, 220) and Brad Golden (5-10, 230) along with newcomers Greg Anderson (6-0, 225), Rick White (6-2, 220), Ted Keefer (6-1, 250) and Thomas Lee Kidd (6-3, 220) should provide some interesting position battles for the Devils' coaching staff. The offense is led by a trio of outstanding performers in quarterback Kim Hawkins (5-11, 190), Mike Chinino (5-10, 200) and center Joe Thomas (6-0, 205). The biggest problem facing the Maroon and Gold is their abundance of inexperienced players. The Devils will be a young team with only five seniors on the squad of 80. Seventeen lettermen provide the nucleus for Coach Ray Urban who brought Eureka to a winning season in just his second year with 5-3 slate. In spite of a tougher schedule, the Red Devils should prove to be an interesting team to watch in 1971. The incentive to win is even greater as the Devils reflect on the 1970 campaign when just four more touchdowns could have wiped away their three losses and given them an undefeated season. 1970 Results (5-4) Waynesburg 0 Fairmont 22 Findlay 0 Eastern Michigan 7 California 0 Westminster 21 Geneva 28 W.

Slippery Rock State College head football coach Bob DiSpirito is optimistic his 1971 club can recapture the winning attitude his 1969 club had. After a 6-3 season in '69, the Rockets dropped games by one, two and six points last fall to finish with a disappointing 4-5 mark. As it was at the start of last season, the quarterbacking assignment is still up in the air. Junior Keith Reynolds (5-10, 185), who started better than half of the time last year, has the inside track against sophomore Tim Nunes, who set out the 1970 season. The offensive backfield is strong with much talent returning and the offensive line has more depth and experience than a year ago. John Ryce (5-8, 165) and John Suvoy (5-8, 160) give the Rockets a pair of speedy backs along with junior John Bogosto, a 5-10, 180-pound fullback. This combination could give the Big Green a strong scoring punch. Defensively, Slippery Rock must replace its two linebackers and three-fourths of a rugged secondary if they are to again be a strong unit. The loss of captain Bob Basile at linebacker makes his spot the toughest to fill. Anchoring the defense are rock-solid stalwarts Tom Jenkins (6-1, 210, DE), Pat Risha (6-4, 235, DT), Chuck Northey (6-0, 195, MG) and Chip Jasmin (5-11, 200, DE). Tight end Dan Toomey (6-1, 195) and defensive back Ron Hunt (5-8, 165) won First Team All-Conference berths as top performers in the West. Rebuilding both units from last year's campaign will be aided by a crop of talented sophomores who excelled on the Rocket freshman team.

Waynesburg Lock Haven at Clarion INDIANS SHOULD PRESERVE STREAKS 1971 OUTLOCDK: The tenth straight winning season is the long range goal for the 1971 Big Indian team. Along with that victory skein, coach Bill Neal and his 19 returning lettermen will try to keep intact another string that goes back to 1961: scoring in 84 consecutive games. If any one player is vital to the preservation of those two streaks and to any additional success for the Indians in 1971 it is halfback Larry Monsilovich, the 5-9, 185-pound senior who rushed for 937 years in 1970 enroute to establishing seven lUP rushing and scoring records and equaling two others. Monsilovich was subsequently named honorable mention All-American and All-Pennsylvania halfback on a squad that included the major football schools such as Pitt and Penn State. His running mate at halfback, for example, was Lydell Mitchell of Penn State. On offense, in addition to Monsilovich, four other regulars return: tackle Dave Connolly (5-11, 220), guard Ernie Macioce (5-11, 200), tight end Neill Brady (6-2, 190) and quarterback Chuck Pinchotti (5-10, 170). Defensively the picture is much brighter since 10 starters from the 1970 finals are back. This group is headed by linebacker Tom Rogish (5-10, 200), ends Doug Roth (6-2, 205) and Dave Farrelly (6-1, 210); tackles John Bullington (6-3, 220), Charlie Maurer (6-3, 210) and Gene Raymond (6-0, 220); linebackers Greg Palchak (6-0, 190) and Phil Imbrogno (5-10, 190).

The Eagles will not be faced with much of a rebuilding job as experienced performers return to almost every position. Coach Al Jacks concedes that his biggest job will be shaping a good offense with the quarterbacking chores a crucial point. Junior Joe Marx, who filled in admirably for Bob Erdeljac during his 1970 injury, is the likely candidate for the job. Marx offered some fine running and passing in his bid for the signal calling assignment. "This is one of our smaller teams defensively, averaging about 205 pounds,” says Jacks, "but I hope that quickness will make up for the lack of size.” Captain of the 1971 unit is Bruce Ehrenberger (5-9,186) expected to move from linebacker to defensive end. Also on hand for the defensive eleven are such returning starters as end Mark Cidboy (6-3, 208); tackles Dave Emerick (5-10, 195) and John Doto (6-1, 210); halfback Tony Eupizi (5-9, 159) and speedy safety Ron Corcetti (5-10,185). Veterans bolstering the Eagles offensive attack include tight end Kevin Karrs, tackle Mark Riddell, center Ray Bowerman, All-West guard Tom Olszewski, tackle Dan Corbett and split end Mike Timmins. Backfield aces include Mick Sarnese (6-0, 183), an agressive ground gainer, halfback Fred Rost (5-9, 165) and fullback Kirk Johnson (6-0, 208). Rost was the leading scorer in the West last season with his 9 touchdowns and finished second in the state conference race with 56 points. With the addition of some promising sophs, the Golden ones have the material to be a prime contender for the Western Division toga. 1970 Results (5-3) Clarion 48 Mansfield 47 Geneva 39 Lock Haven 6 Edinboro 7 Indiana 12 California 28 Shippensburg 20 Slippery Rock 1971 Schedule Opponent 1 0 18 10 10 15 0 18 — Sept.

California at Shippensburg Slippery Rock EAGLES LURK AS DARKHORSE 1971 OUTLOOK: "Mike Packer” is the magic word for Lock Haven's 1971 football fortunes as the senior signal caller returns to fill the airways with his pinpoint passing. The 6-3, 220-pound pro prospect finished as the nation's top small college (NAIA) passer last year as he hit on 149 of 319 tosses for 2,129 yards and 15 touchdowns. He averaged 266 yards a game in the air. Packer's efforts in two years of varsity action now total 225 completions, 3,132 yards and 24 scoring aerials. With the veteran at the helm the Bald Eagles could come back strong for the 1971 schedule. "We're going to switch positions of some key personnel,” claims Eagle mentor Bob Weller vyho has nine offensive regulars and six defensive starters returning in his group of 29 lettermen. The offensive backfield returns for the third straight year but it could be broken up this season with switches in positions. Weller is planning to put running halfback Tommy Allen, ex-Big 33 star, at wingback, move fullback Alex Nuzzo (6-1, 200) to the tight end spot and shift wingback Wayne Hoffman to split end. This would put hard-running Bob Shuey (6-0, 190) at fullback and Frank Geiger (5-10, 180) at halfback. Back in the offensive line are Terrell Jones (6-0, 215, T), Ken Jones (6-0, 190, C), John Blackwell (5-10, 180, G), Jim Hess (6-0, 190, G) and Larry Shervanick (6-1, 180, TE). Returning defensive linemen include Melvin Abel (6-3, 210, E), Tom Zimmerman (6-0, 200, T), along with secondary defenders Jeff Knarr (5-11, 215, LB), Steve Glass, Paul Simcoe and Mike Shenkle. The Bald Eagles could play the spoilers role in any one of their eight gridiron encounters. 1970 Results (1-7) locA Haven 14 Delaware 7 Bloomsburg 28 California 18 Clarion 7 Shippensburg 21 Edinboro 52 Delaware Valley 6 Slippery Rock 1971 Schedule Opponent 19 25 34 39 42 34 21 30 —27 Sept.

With those words, veteran head coach Dave Dolbin capsulized his expectations for the coming season. With quarterback Jim Monos back to steer the offense and a host of available running backs, Dolbin is chiefly concerned about the defense. "We still need work on our defensive secondary," remarked the Red Raider coach. All-West middle guard. Bob Ockershausen (6-1, 205) should be the mainstay of the defensive unit. Back on the offensive squad, the Raiders will miss three-time All-Conference end Al Bowman. Fortunately the Red Men have capable receivers in Bob Hickes (6-2, 205) and Ron Finley (6-0, 192), a leading pass catcher and rusher last year. "We do have some good freshmen coming in and, since they are now eligible to play varsity ball, it is quite possible two or three might make the starting units," commented the eighth-year mentor. Last year was probably the best recruiting year that the Raiders have had for a long time, Dolbin feels. All of the factors are pointing toward the emergence of a winning football program at Shippensburg. The Raiders lost several close ball games last year and a couple of different bounces could have given the Tribe a winning season. 1970 Results (3-5) Shippensburg 22 Indiana (Pa.) 30 Brockport 8 Slippery Rock 42 Lock Haven 15 California 15 Edinboro 0 Clarion 14 Millersville 1971 Schedule Opponent 26 26 13 7 14 35 28 18 —28— Sept.

"We think this will be a good season due to the attitude of our returning players and our fine incoming freshmen," reflects coach Bob Middleton. "The big task will be to find replacements for graduating seniors, especially the defensive sec­ ondary." John Smith (6-3, 184), one of three quarterbacks who lettered for the Bears, has three veteran receivers as top targets. Leading the list is Don Augustine who grabbed 17 aerials during the 1970 campaign for 169 yards. The Orange and Black should get some timely protection with offensive tackles Bill Snowball (5-10, 225) and Craig McCoy (6-5, 240) to holdup onrushing defenders. Swift Jim Derfel (5-9, 172, TB) ground out 334 yards to average 4.0 a carry last fall and will be counted on heavily. Bob Lance, a 6-2, 223-pound tackle, shores up the Bears' defense along with linebacker Mike Roseberry (6-0, 176) and halfback Steve Croghan (5-11, 172). Halfback Marty Gaudoise (6-0, 185) and fullback Gordy Stemen (6-1, 190) are promising newcomers who will hopefully add to Northern's ground attack while veteran guards Dave Hughes and Wayne Eby pave the way. In only his second year Coach Bob Middleton has many reasons to be optimistic in spite of a rugged schedule. After losing their first three games last year the Bears came on to win four of their last five contests and have a solid nucleus of 23 lettermen to get off on the right foot. Three of their 1971 foes were in bowl games last fall. 1970 Results (4-4) Ohio Northern 6 Capital 0 Taylor 7 Hillsdale 27 Delaware Valley 10 Ashland 36 Bluffton 12 Mt.

A late season surge which featured upset wins over powerful Indiana and Clarion may be warning signs of the Vulcans 1971 aspirations. However, graduation claimed some of the finest defensive linemen in the conference and second-year coach John Katusa still needs a field general to direct the California attack. Top candidates for the post are newcomers Randy Urban and Joe Seymour who both lack varsity experience. Katusa will find some veterans to carry the pigskin, however, in halfback Bob Flash (5-7, 170, sr.), halfback Tony Sargo (5-5, 160, jr.). Gary DeHainaut, who proved to be an effective ground gainer at the quarterback slot, will also see duty as a running back. Veteran offensive tackles Chuck Grehosky (6-2, 210, sr.) and Paul Orange (6-1, 205, sr.) should help the Fire Gods to move the football with their experience up front. In spite of some major losses the Californians are still strong in the defensive ranks. Tackle Rich Arrigoni (6-1, 205, sr.) and middle guard Nick Frobuck (6-1, 230, sr.) take turns cutting down opponents. Giving support behind the line are linebacker Jack Baciak along with defensive backs Bill Mahady, Don Matthews and Joe Spiker. A forfeit win over Wittenberg gave the Vulcans a winning season, but the Fire Gods have to face the Ohians again on Buckeye turf. Wittenberg's return along with traditional conference powers give the downstaters a strong challenge for the 1971 schedule. 1970 Results (5-3) California 0 Wittenberg 34 Lock Haven 0 Waynesburg 6 Slippery Rock 14 Shippensburg 15 Clarion 14 Indiana 7 Edinboro Forfeit’^ 1971 Schedule Opponent 61 * 28 7 0 15 12 6 28 — Sept. 18 Sept. 25 Oct. 2 Oct. 9 Oct. 16 Oct. 23 Oct. 30 Nov. 6 Nov. 13 30— Indiana (Pa.) at Wittenberg at Lock Haven at Bloomsburg at Slippery Rock Shippensburg at Clarion Frostburg Edinboro The Past A GLANCE AT THE GREATEST SEASON" When Edinboro State football coach Bill McDonald was first quizzed about his 1970 gridiron chargers in early August, he was hesitant to respond with any kind of optimism. "Our chances of having a successful season this year depends upon just how quickly our ball players can come of age," projected the Scots' second-year pilot. No one seems to know what the McDonald-led staff fed their players but the young Scots matured quickly. Record breaking performances became the order of the day as the Clans­ men completed their regular season schedule unbeaten (9-0), captured the Pennsylvania Conference championship, won the Lambert Bowl and earned a spot in the NAIA national playoffs. Enroute to their best finish in 44 years of football on the Edinboro campus, the Scots etched 25 new marks in the Red and White's record book. Highlighting the charts was a grinding ground game which averaged over 272 yards a game and a stingy defense that allowed only 64.5 yards a game in the rushing department. Complimenting the defensive stats was a new season high of 16 interceptions that bettered 1969's count by one. Speedy tailback Al Raines, who suffered a bruised heart and missed four of the Clan's 10 games, continued to add to his rushing and scoring records as Edinboro s greatest back. The shifty Scot managed to garner a ninth-place national finish in rushing with his 138.8 yards a game average and his 5.7 yards per carry mark. As a team the Scots also earned some top spots nationally as they ranked 12th in rushing offense (272.8 yards a game), eighth in rushing defense (64 5 yards per game) and 23rd in team defense. Post-season honors were bestowed in a number of Fighting Scot gridders as seven squad members were named to the All-Conference team. Al Raines and tackle Ebby Hollins, who was named to almost every first team in the state, won national acclaim with NAIA All-America Honorable Mention honors SCOTS' 1970 STATISTICS RUSHING Name Raines, A....................................

In 1861 it was chartered by the Commonwealth as Pennsylvania's second Normal School and developed and grew through service to the Commonwealth. A great forward stride was taken in 1914, when the Commonwealth pur­ chased Edinboro Normal School. In 1926, alerted to the need for better edu­ cated teachers for its schools, Pennsylvania made Edinboro a Teachers College offering a four-year curriculum leading to degrees of Bachelor of Science in Secondary, Elementary, and Art Education, and Library Science. In 1960 the name of the college was changed to Edinboro State College. Beginning in September of 1957, the college was empowered to grant de­ grees of Master of Education in Elementary Education. In September 1961, graduate study in secondary education was added to the graduate program. In 1962 the liberal arts degree program was begun. Students may prepare for various vocations as an arts and science major in Humanities, Social Sciences or Natural Sciences and may receive a Bachelor of Arts degree. The control of the College is vested in the Board of Trustees, composed of nine members appointed by the Governor of Pennsylvania. The Board of Trustees in turn elects the President of the College who is responsible for its administration. The State Superintendent of Public Instruction is an ex-officio member of the Board of Trustees. The College is accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education, the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, and the American Medical Association. In addition, its curriculums are registered by the New York State Department of Education. Graduates of Edinboro have distinguished themselves in all professional fields: education, law, medicine, and religion as well as business and politics. The College stresses friendly relations among students and faculty and informal student counseling and guidance. The faculty is keenly aware of professional interests and self growth. High qualitative and quantitative standards distinguish the graduates of this college. The preparation of better educated citizens has been an Edinboro tradition for over a century.

Dr. Chester T. McNerney became president of Edinboro State College in September, 1966. His formal inauguration, honoring him as Edinboro's thirteenth president, followed on April 22, 1967. Dr. McNerney came to Edinboro from the University of Akron, where he was the Dean of the College of Education and was highly instrumental in the development of numerous educational in­ novations. He was cited as the motivating force behind the University of Akron Classrooms Around the World, and recognized for his scholarly studies of comparative education abroad. Dr. McNerney's primary areas of interest deal with the improvement of the curriculum, the pro­ gram for educational supervision and administra­ tion, and the improvement of inter-personal re­ lationships among the various membersofworking groups. His concern in this area has led to his Dr. Chester T. McNerney writing of Several books, lecturing and conducting President various workshops. Under Dr. McNerney's guidance, the College has witnessed the growth of administrative operations, broader forms of student government, and the development of the future growth of Edinboro State College. He is a man dedicated to the academic life, a tireless advocate of personal involvement in the religious and civic affairs of one's community, and an educator who visibly believes in and practices total individual professional commitment. ATHLETIC PROGRAM CONTINUES TO GROW Intercollegiate athletics play an important role in the total educational pro­ gram of Edinboro State College. The program is so conducted as to assure wholesome use of leisure time, a healthy focal point for the experience and the expression of group spirit, and a laboratory experience for prospective coaches. Edinboro's athletic program has grown in recent years to total 11 varsity sports. Included are baseball, basketball, bowling, cross country, football, golf, soccer, swimming, tennis, track and wrestling. Four varsity sports have been added in just the past three years. Sox Harrison Stadium, one of two major facilities located in the sports complex, has a seating capacity for 5,000 spectators and provides com­ petition areas for both the football and track teams. A baseball diamond of major league specifications is also located just to the west of the stadium. The McComb Fieldhouse contains three basketball courts, an AAU-sized swimming pool, a diving tank with one and three meter boards, underwater sound systems, lighting systems and viewing ports, wrestling room, two handball courts, a corrective gym, medical suite, a rifle range, two steam rooms, locker room space for 1,000 students and many additional features to meet the needs of the Health and Physical Education Department.

Four different sets of tennis courts are situated throughout the campus while 8 bowling lanes are provided in the new student union for intercollegiate competition. The nearby Culbertson Hills Country Club is the home of the Scots' golf and cross country teams. 39— EDINBORO STATE . . . . . . A UNIVERSITY IN THE MAKING SOX HARRISON STADIUM On October 2, 1965 Edinboro State College dedicated the Fighting Scots' football stadium in honor of R. B.
