Classroom teaching experiences and departmental chairperson responsibilities comprised his major assignments at Indiana State University and Memphis State University. His academic background includes a bachelor of science degree from New York University, College at Buffalo, a master of science degree from the University of Wisconsin in theater and broadcasting, and a doctorate from Michigan State University in communications and theater. Mary Gardner took over the reins as Bloomsburg's athletic director in July of this year after serving in the capacity on an interim basis for six months. Prior to becoming the head of the Department of Athletics, she was the university's associate athletic director for one and one-half years. Her new duties include overseeing the daily activities of the university's 18 varsity teams, budget control, and fundraising to aid the general scholarship fund. In addition, Gardner directs activities in the university's three major athletic facilities as well as the many athletic practice and playing fields.

She was a three-time national champion in the breaststroke. 2 -Pete Adrian is entering his third season in charge of the ,I Bloomsburg program and has continued to establish the Huskies as one 1 of the teams to beat in the Pennsylvania Conference Eastern Division. In his initial two years, Adrian's clubs have posted marks of 7-2-1 and 8-3 to give the coach an overall record of 15-5-1. Last season's 8-3 finish marked only the fifth time a Bloomsburg squad has won as many contests in a season. The only other clubs to accomplish the feat were in 1948 (9-0), in 1948 (9-0), 1949 (8-1), 1951 (8-0), and 1985 (12-1). The latter year, the Huskies won the conference championship and reached the national semifinals before suffering their only loss of the season. Adrian is the 15th head football coach since Bloomsburg became a four-year public institution in 1927. Bloomsburg has appeared in the NCAA Division II national rankings in each of Adrian's two seasons and finished the 1987 campaign rated 14th in the nation's final poll. In addition, the Huskies have shown up among conference and national statistical leaders, both individually and as a team, on several occasions. During his short tenure, 16 players have earned All-Pennsylvania Conference Eastern Division honors, and three performers have earned spots on the All-East team. His teams have been among the passing and total offense leaders in the conference both years and finished sixth in total defense a year ago. The head coaching position at Bloomsburg is a first for the 38-year old native of Brilliant, Ohio, as he came to the school after spending the previous 10 seasons as defensive coordinator at the University of Rhode Island. Working under head coach Bob Griffin, he helped lead the Rams to consecutive 10-3 records in 1984 and 1985 and appearances in the NCAA Division I-AA national playoffs. Rhode Island also captured three Yankee Conference titles winning crowns in 1981, 1984, and 1985. During his 10 seasons at the New England school, the teams compiled an overall mark of 58-51-1 and was awarded the Lambert/Meadowlands Cup in both 1984 and 1985, symbolizing football supremacy among eastern Division I-AA clubs. Prior to returning to Rhode Island, where he served as an assistant coach during the 1970 and 1971 seasons, Adrian was the defensive line coach under Griffin at Idaho State University in Pocatello, Idaho, from 1972 to 1975. He was also the school's head golf coach. In addition to his football duties, Adrian has also been an instructor in the physical education departments at Idaho State and Rhode Island. He holds memberships in the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA), Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and the Masonic Lodge. Before his first stint at Rhode Island, he was the freshman coach at West Virginia University following his graduation from that school in 1968. While at West Virginia, he played linebacker for the Mountaineers and served as the freshman team captain in his first year. Adrian earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Education at West Virginia in 1970 and his master's degree from Rhode Island in 1971. In high school, he was a five-sport letterwinner at Brilliant High School in baseball, basketball, football, golf, and track and field. t Ill 3 - Vin Sinagra - Defensive Line Vin Sinagra, in his third season on the Huskies' staff, will be responsible for the defensive line.

Quarterback Jay DeDea, who threw for 7,026 yards and 56 touchdowns in his career, and Tom Martin, who rushed for 2,709 yards in three seasons with the club, have departed leaving a huge void to fill offensively. A year ago, the club registered an 8-3 mark and finished the campaign ranked 14th in the final NCAA Division II national poll. The Huskies faced a tough schedule last season, and the slate set for them this year includes six units that were nationally rated at some time during the 1987 season. However, a quick look at the Huskies' 1988 preseason depth chart indicates one thing. Experience. One of the largest senior classes in many seasons will play a huge role as coach Pete Adrian's club attempts to post the school's fifth-consecutive winning season. Of the 25 seniors on the roster, 17 are projected in starting roles. The performance of a veteran line will be one of the keys to the success of the Huskies' offense. Eight quality players give that area more depth than it has enjoyed over the past several seasons. The return of two-time All-Pennsylvania Conference center John Fulmer in the middle adds to a line that made constant improvement as the 1987 season progressed. Fulmer, a senior, missed the entire season with the second knee injury of his career. Fulmer's return will allow the coaching staff to move senior Bob Preston to either guard or tackle where he performed prior to stepping into the center slot. Preston's versatility makes him a valuable asset during the 11-game stretch. Senior Dave Pysher made the successful transition from defense a year ago and will most likely be in one of the guard spots. Another defensive transplant, senior John Avia, enjoyed a good season at a tackle position and will be back in that role. The fifth starter could come from a group of four players including yet another player in his final year of eHgibility, Scott Long, or three sophomores, Rob Grow, Brian Crouthamel, or Carl Edwards. No matter what the starting line looks like in each contest, all of those performers will get ample playing time as the season continues. Senior Paul Venesky, DeDea's understudy for the past three seasons, appears ready to step into the starting role. He has seen limited playing time completing 11 of 31 pass attempts for 117 yards and three touchdowns. Sophomore Dave Robson looks like the number two quarterback entering the season. Senior Leonard Bluitt rejoined the Huskies last year after missing the 1986 season and quickly earned a spot next to Martin in the backfield. He rushed for 194 yards on 52 carries and caught 20 passes for an additional 214 yards. He gives the club a potential scoring threat from anywhere on the field every time he touches the ball. Eric Speece and Mike Medina saw action in reserve roles a year ago and should see a lot more playing time this season. Speece gained 585 rushing yards in two seasons at Lock Haven before transferring to Bloomsburg where he picked up 70 yards on 11 carries last season. Medina possesses the most strength of any of the Huskies' backs and rushed 14 times to gain 56 yards in 1987. Two of the team's top receivers from last season will provide the main targets for Venesky at wide receiver and tight end, respectively. Junior Jeff Sparks caught 28 passes for 431 yards and seven touchdowns at his split end position, while sophomore Paul 6 Lonergan made the most of his fast year with the club by hauling 24 passes for 217 yards and one score. A pair of players, who are also in their second seasons with the Huskies, Jon Smith and Stef Kern, came out of the squad's spring drills as two of the team's top receivers. Senior Dave Brewster gives the Huskies a fourth quality receiver on the outside. Defensively, nine of eleven starters are back including last season's top four tacklers. Linebackers Wade Pickett and Gene Straface combined for 168 tackles in the middle of the Huskies' defensive unit. Pickett's total of 91 tackles included 33 solo hits, and Straface led the team with 35 unassisted tackles and totalled 77 for the season. He also registered two sacks and recovered two fumbles. Pickett added one interception and a fumble recovery. The senior duo will be rejoined this season by Brian Angney, who returns for his final season after sitting out last season with a knee injury. On the outside, both starters also return for their final campaigns with Todd Leitzel penciled in at one defensive end position and Steph Pettit listed on the other side. Leitzel led the team in the sack department with five and also contributed 36 tackles, while Pettit wasn't far behind in getting to opposing quarterbacks as he was credited with four and one-half sacks. He had a total of 50 tackles a year ago. Darryl Richards returned to the squad for the spring and rapidly made an impression. He enters the season as the third performer at the end position. The recent move of linebacker John Hellgren to nose guard will help give the Huskies a very active and mobile front line. Hellgren saw limited action behind Pickett and Straface last season, contributing 13 tackles, but moved into the number one position up front during spring workouts. Senior Pete Andolpho earned the opportunity for some playing time at nose guard with his performance in the spring. Last season, the reassignment of another performer, Joshua Lee, from defensive end to tackle added a completely new dimension to the Huskies' defense. He, along with three-year starter Chris Gross on the other side, should give the club an excellent pair to flank Hellgren. Lee was very active after the move inside as he recorded 54 tackles, three and one-half sacks, recovered two fumbles, and caused two others. Gross equalled Lee's tackle, sack, and fumble recovery totals while causing three additional fumbles and breaking up five passes. One of the team's top athletes, Bruce Linton, will man one of the corner positions, and another veteran, Tom Heavey, will be on the opposite side. Linton led the squad in the pass breakup category, knocking down 15 opponent passes and was credited with two interceptions and 44 tackles. Heavey had 31 tackles and two interceptions. A trio of players who need game experience, Brian Murphy, Jeff Naugle, and Trent Dennis, should see playing time at the comerback spots. Dennis can also fill in at free safety. Senior Dan Shutt will most likely move from strong safety to the free slot Another pair of tested veterans, Delmas Woods and Ron Sahm, will both see plenty of action at strong safety. Shutt contributed 37 tackles, while Woods and Sahm combined for 50 hits. Both were important contributors on the special teams, and Sahm blocked an extra point attempt and a punt last season. Punter Jim Noye had a great season a year ago and has turned into a solid twostep punter. He averaged 32.6 yards per kick but pinned the opposition inside the 20yard line on numerous occasions. 7 Name Carl Albertson Brian Angney Tim Arnold JohnAvia Terry Baker Nelson Barr Lawrence Beilis Gary Biller Leonard Bluitt RichBoezi Shane Boyer Dave Brewster Tom Bryant John Cannon Chaine Casner Bill Ciotoli Scott Copeland Brian Crouthamel Billy Davis Gerry DeLucia Joey DeMaio Trent Dennis Chuck Doyle Carl Edwards Jack Edwards Erick Estrada Cord Ferrari Ed Forman John Fulmer Jason Furniss Gary Gillick Michael Gimbel Anthony Giordano Chris Gross Rob Grow Jeff Haflett TomHeavey Dean Heinemann John Hellgren James Hile Greg Hince Bill Housley Mike Houston Rob Joiner Chris Jones StefKem Class So.

The Huskies put together a pair of three-game winning streaks and registered an 8-3 mark, only the fifth club in Bloomsburg football history to win as many games in one season. A pair of losses in the Pennsylvania Conference Eastern Division to West Chester and Millersville, respectively, in addition to a season-opening defeat at Norfolk State, were the only blerni~hes on the record, which marked the university's fourthconsecutive winning season. The Huskies finished the campaign as the nation's 14thranked team in the final NCAA Division II poll and placed third in the PC East for the second-straight year. Seven players earned all-conference honors. GAME ONE - September 5: Norfolk State 26, Bloomsburg 17 Three costly mistakes by the Huskies' special teams led to 16 points for the homestanding Spartans as Bloomsburg dropped its season opener. Two bad snaps on punt attempts led to a safety in the first period and set up a touchdown early in the final quarter and a roughing the kicker penalty on a missed field goal, which gave Norfolk State a second chance, which was successful . Jay DeDea and Leonard Bluitt scored on runs of three and one yards, respectively, and Chris Mingrone added a 28-yard field goal for the Huskies' points. DeDea threw for 142 yards, and Tom Martin was the club's leading rusher with 46 yards on 16 carries. Tom Heavey led the defense with nine tackles. GAME TWO - September 12: Bloomsburg 24, Shippensburg 10 For the second week in a row, the Huskies played in rain but this time forced the mistakes and took advantage to win their home opener and even their record at 1-1. The Huskies built a 14-0 lead on DeDea's second scoring run in as many weeks and took advantage of a fumble recovery by Todd Leitzel to set up Martin from one yard out. The Red Raiders pulled to within a touchdown before halftime but a third quarter DeDea-toCurtis Still pass opened up the advantage again. The teams traded field goals for the final count. DeDea tossed the ball for 157 yards and Martin had 64 on the ground to lead the Huskies' attack. Wade Pickett had 12 tackles, and the defense recovered three fumbles. GAME THREE - September 19: Bloomsburg 25 , Lock Haven 6 The Huskies jumped out to a lead again and used a solid defensive effort to shut down the Lock Haven attack to pick up the season's second victory. On Bloomsburg's second play from scrimmage in the game, Still pulled in a DeDea pass and ran 62 yards for the score. On the next possession, it took four more plays but the result was the same as Martin scored from one yard out. With just 10 seconds left in the first half Martin caught a nine-yard scoring pass from DeDea and it was 19-0. Lock Haven cut the deficit in the third period but Bluitt's 24-yard run late in the same quarter iced the win. DeDea threw for 244 yards including five passes each to Still and Bluitt and the latter ran for 68 yards. Derrick Hill had two interceptions for the defense. GAME FOUR - September 26: West Chester 39, Bloomsburg 14 The Huskies put together a long scoring drive on their first possession of the afternoon with Martin scoring from two yards out to enjoy an early lead. But the visitors scored three times before halftime to take a 17-7 lead into the lockerroom. A long touchdown pass to open the third quarter put the visitors further ahead, and the closest the Huskies could come after that was 10 points when DeDea hit Jeff Sparks with a 33-yard 17 scoring pass late in the third period. The Rams' defense pressured DeDea all afternoon recording nine sacks and held the running game to just 39 yards. DeDea did manage to throw for 210 yards including eight completions to Jeff Sparks. Bruce Linton had seven tackles and a fumble recovery. GAME FIVE - October 3: Bloomsburg 16, East Stroudsburg 3 For the fourth time in five games the contest was played on a muddy field in a rainstorm. The passing attack was limited to 37 yards but Martin ran for 201 yards and scored on a 56-yard jaunt late in the game to seal the win. The first half was scoreless before John Rockmore hauled in a 10-yard pass from DeDea and after the Warriors got a field goal. A safety on a bad snap from center by the home team gave the Huskies a 9-3 lead. Martin's run came with just over three minutes left in the contest to raise Bloomsburg's record to 3-2 and even the Eastern Division mark at 1-1. Chris Gross had a big day with 11 tackles up front, and Hill had two interceptions for the second time in the last three games. GAME SIX - October 10: Bloomsburg 14, Cheyney 0 The passing combination of DeDea to Sparks and a tough defense combined to help the Huskies defeat the always-tough Wolves before a large Parents' Day crowd on a beautiful afternoon. A fumble recovery by Duane Hettich on the Cheyney 26-yard line set up the Huskies' first score on their second possession of the game. DeDea hit Sparks on a touchdown pass on second down and it would turn out to be all Bloomsburg needed in the game. However, on the next possession, the Huskies took over on their own eightyard line and on second down again DeDea found Sparks wide open behind the defense and he raced 89 yards for the score. Five fumble recoveries, two by Hettich, and Heavey's interception helped the Huskies' defense outshine a Cheyney defense that entered the game as the nation's top-rated unit. GAME SEVEN - October 17: Bloomsburg 28, Mansfield 17 Mansfield entered the contest as the nation's 20th-ranked team, and a shaky start made the picture seem even dimmer as Bloomsburg had four turnovers in the first half but managed to trail by just seven points. A 10-yard DeDea to Sparks touchdown toss in the second quarter were the only points the visitors could muster. Ron Sahm's 52-yard interception return for a score to open the third period got the Huskies even, and after a Mansfield field goal, Still caught a short touchdown pass from DeDea to put Bloomsburg on top for good. Bluitt added a three-yard scoring catch in the fourth quarter to put the game on ice. Hettich, Heavey, Gene Straface, and Steph Pettit all enjoyed good days defensively for the Huskies. GAME EIGHT - October 24: Millersville 33, Bloomsburg 21 The Huskies cut a 24-point deficit to just six points midway through the fourth quarter, but the comeback effort fell short as the Marauders ruined the Homecoming celebration. Trailing 24-0 at halftime, The Huskies rallied as Martin and DeDea scored and Sparks caught a short DeDea pass. DeDea threw for 300 yards in the contest but was intercepted by the Marauders five times as Bloomsburg fell to 5-3 on the season and were eliminated from the Eastern Division race. Martin had a fine day rushing for 84 yards and catching 10 passes for another 108 yards. Hill had two fumble recoveries for the Huskies, and nose guard Larry DeLuca was credited with 12 tackles. 18 GAME NINE - October 31: Bloomsburg 24, Slippery Rock23 The Huskies held off the homestanding Rockets for the second straight season. Bloomsburg trailed 17-7 before a Bluitt touchdown reception from DeDea closed the gap to three points at halftime. The other first half score was a 37-yard pass from DeDea to Still. Mingrone tied the score with a 25-yard field goal early in the second half, and Eric Speece scored on a six-yard reception to give the visitors a touchdown lead. The Rockets scored with just over four minutes left in the game but Linton knocked down the twopoint conversion pass and preserved the lead and the victory. DeDea threw for 235 yards and three touchdowns in the game, while Pickett had 11 tackles and an interception for the defense. GAME TEN - November 7: Bloomsburg 17, Kutztown 3 Pettit's recovery of a Golden Bear fumble on the first play from scrimmage set up an early touchdown, and the Huskies scored all 17 points in the opening half in a sloppily played contest. After the fumble recovery, DeDea found Rockmore on a 13-yard scoring pass to get Bloomsburg on top. Great field position late in the first period led to the second score. Starting at the Bears' 28-yard line, the Huskies used four plays again with DeDea connecting with Still on a seven-yard touchdown toss to make it 14-0. Just moments later, following a 31-yard punt return by Hill and a 23-yard run by Speece, the Huskies' drive stalled and Mingrone came on to kick a 19-yard field goal to round out the Bloomsburg scoring. Pettit led the way with nine tackles and the fumble recovery. GAME ELEVEN - November 14: Bloomsburg 35, New Haven 18 DeDea and Martin ended their brilliant careers in style as the Huskies won a battle of two top twenty teams. The Huskies' quarterback threw for 358 yards and four touchdowns, while Martin carried the ball 20 times for 122 yards, and the duo got plenty of help from their fellow seniors to end the season with the team's third- straight win. Rockmore had seven catches for 115 yards, and Mingrone kicked two field goals, all three extra points, and ran for a two-point conversion score. In total, Bloomsburg accumulated 418 yards in offense, almost double the visiting Chargers. An early 14-0 lead built to 24-7 by intermission and, although the visitors closed to within 27-18 midway through the final quarter, the outcome was not in much doubt.

A stable full of quality running backs should keep the Spartans' Wing T offense in gear led by Adrian Miles, who finished eighth in the conference in rushing and averaged 4.7 yards every time he ran the ball. All-conference performer Robert Roberson leads a big, experienced line in front of the backs and two quarterbacks, Maurice Lawrence, who was among conference scoring leaders a year ago, and Jesse Chavis, could both see playing time. A young line may be the only weakness on defense, but linebackers James Stallings and Rodney Baylor could make up for the possible deficiency up front. The most experienced area is in the defensive backfield led by Larry Bryant and Ralph Mitchell. 1988 Schedule SepL 3 SepL 17 Sept. 24 Oct. 1 Oct. 8 Oct. 15 Oct. 22 Oct. 29 Nov. 5 BLOOMSBURG N.C.CENTRAL EI.JZABETH CITY N.C.A&T at Winston-Salem at Hampton VIRGINIA UNION MORGAN ST. at Virginia SL 1987 Results l:OOp.m. 7:00p.m. 2:30p.m. l:30p.m. l:30p.m. l:30p.m. l:30p.m; l:30p.m. l:30p.m. Sept.

The best of the group is all-conference fullback Bob Plummer, who led the team in rushing with 534 yards, scoring with eight touchdowns and receiving with 24 catches for another 262 yards. The team's offense should be under the direction of sophomore Steve Muchowski, who completed 52 percent of his pass attempts in 1987 for a total of 1,007 yards. Wide receiver Dean Styer, who averaged 21.3 yards per reception last season, is the club's top deep threat. Defensive leaders will most likely be linebacker Steve Gironda, who established a new school record a year ago with 81 solo tackles, and all-conference free safety Sanford Gunn. 1988 Schedule Sept.

Hunter took over the starting job midway through last season and passed for 1,299 yards and six touchdowns. Wide receiver Jesse Cleare averaged better than 21 yards per reception and is a threat to put points on the board in a hurry. To succeed, however, the Bald Eagles must improve their rushing attack. Heading the defense will be inside linebackers Rod Govern and James Bibbs. They were the club's top two tacklers a year ago. Plenty of talent exists in the defensive backfield where veterans Guy Wade, Dave Laudeman, and Bryon Comly all return. 1988 Schedule Sept. 3 Sept. 10 Sept. 17 Sept. 24 Oct. 1 Oct. 8 Oct. 15 Oct. 22 Oct. 29 Nov. 5 Nov. 12 CONCORD at Indiana (Pa.) at Bloomsburg at California (Pa.)

Quarterback Greg Buchman is back after a year's absence due to injury and should provide some of the spark the Kutztown lacked a year ago. He passed for 1,778 yards and 15 touchdowns two seasons ago. Wide receiver Tony Santella and tight end Dave Cullen shared the team lead in the receiving department with 18 catches apiece. However, those numbers should increase with Buchman throwing the passes. All-conference center Jeff Fulmer leads a veteran offensive line that should provide plenty of protection and open holes for tailback Eric Werley and fullback Joe Svede. Linebacker Mark Smakulski, end Erv Kelly, and comerback Ron Dabravalskie are the top veterans back on the defensive side. 1988 Schedule Sept. 10 Sept. 17 Sept. 24 Oct. 1 Oct. 7 Oct. 15 Oct. 22 Oct. 29 Nov. 5 Nov. 12 at Lafayette SHIPPENSBURG at Bloomsburg EDINBORO at Wesf Chester at East Stroudsburg CHEYNEY at Mansfield MILLERSVILLE LIBERTY 1987 Results l:30p.m. l:OOp.m. l:OOp.m. l:OOp.m. 7:00p.m. l:OOp.m. l:OOp.m. l:30p.m. l:OOp.m. 1:00p.m. 32 Sept. 5 Sept. 12 Sept. 19 Oct. 3 OcL 10 OcL 17 Oct. 24 OcL 31 Nov. 7 Nov. 14 at So.

Danny Hale GOLDEN RAMS 1988 West Chester Outlook The Golden Rams boast one of the top passing combinations in the country among NCAA Division II schools in quarterback Al Niemela and wide receiver Bill Hess. The pair has led coach Danny Hale's unit to two straight Pennsylvania Conference Eastern Division titles. Niemela, who was one of the finalists for the Harlon Hill Trophy given to the top player in Division Il, passed for 2,445 yards and 22 touchdowns last season. Hess caught 44 of Niemela's passes for 949 yards and eight touchdowns. In addition, the standout passed for two other scores and ran for another. Fullback Todd Madison, who scored 12 touchdowns last year, is being counted on to ease the loss of 3,000-yard career rusher Jason Sims. Tackle Jay Buchanon will lead the Rams' big offensive line. The defense will revolve around tackle Mike Testa, who had 10 sacks in 1987, and free safety Jerome Watts. 1987 Results 1988 Schedule Sept. Sept. Sept. SepL Oct. Oct. Oct. Oct. Nov.

The team boasts one of the conference's most exciting players in all-East safety and kick return specialist Joe McLaughlin. He had seven returns of 45 or more yards in 1987 including two for touchdowns. McLaughlin will lead a defense which also returns inside linebacker Pat Brady, who is described by veteran head coach Denny Douds as potentially one of his best players ever. Defensive end Eric Sampson and cornerback Dennis Segich are a pair of other top veterans on the defensive side. The team's offense will depend on the performance of quarterback Tom Taylor, who saw action in six games last year. His top targets will be wide receiver Ken Kopetchny and tight end Chuck Comish. Tackle Darrell Tyburski leads the group up front providing the proteclion. 1988 Schedule Sept. 10 Sept. 17 Sept. 24 Oct. 1 Oct. 8 Oct. 15 Oct. 22 Oct. 29 Nov. 5 Nov. 12 S.

Coach Mike Costa's squad allowed 199.9 yards per game in total offensive yardage to its 10 opponents but scored more than two touchdowns in a game only once all season losing the last eight games. Huge sophomore Jim Williams, who was last season's conference Eastern Division "Rookie of the Year" heads a defensive unit that should be pretty strong once again. Other veterans on defense include tackle Brian Clark and comerback Darren Sunkett. All-conference punter Julius Flynn will keep the opponents pinned deep and will spend some time in the secondary. Andre Baylor, a late-season starter at quarterback, should have gained some experience and could make the Wolves better offensively. He has plenty of targets in receivers Brian Christian, Antoine Price and Russell England. 1988 Schedule Sept. 3 Sept. 10 Sept. 17 Sept. 24 Oct. 1 Oct. 8 Oct. 15 Oct. 22 Oct. 28 Nov. 5 at Ark.-Pine Bluff J.C.

The team will depend heavily on the ann of quarterback Craig Jobes. Last year he threw for 1,882 and 13 touchdowns. Coach Tom Elsasser also has several people who can catch the ball including all-conference selections John Wood, who has 84 career receptions, and Jim Cosgrove, who had 35 catches for 553 yards in 1987. Last year's ECAC "Rookie of the Year," Duane MacDonald, also returns in the receiving corps. The level of success could depend on improving the running game, however, as the Mounties averaged just 67 yards per game last year. Linebackers Riki Kimble and Randall Beasley, along with backs Joe Zaparzynski, Pat Beckwith and, Troy Barbusca, give the club a lot of strength behind a young line. 1988 Schedule Sept. 3 Sept. 10 Sept. 17 Sept. 24 OcL 1 OcL 8 OcL 15 OcL 22 Oct 29 Nov. 5 Nov. 12 MONTCLAIR ST. at Brockport St. ALFRED E.

Some changes will occur as new head coach Mark Whipple takes over the program. Quarterback Mike Horton holds several school records, including completions and attempts, and has passed for 4,691 yards so far in his career. Some quality wide receivers like Charlie Griffin, who caught 22 passes for 423 yards, and Bob Wietecha, who hauled in 21 passes for another 249 yards, give Horton plenty at which to aim. Keith McCoy accounted for onethird of his team's rushing totals last year with 461 yards on 98 carries and will be expected to carry the load again. The club's top three tacklers from last season have graduated, but defensive end Keith Dudzinski, free safety Walt Oko, and tackle Tom Collett combined for 110 tackles and give the Chargers some top-notch hitters. 1988 Schedule SepL 10 Sept. 17 Sept. 24 Oct. 1 Oct. 8 Oct. 15 Oct. 22 Oct. 29 Nov. 5 Nov. 12 at California (Pa.)

Connecticut 42-10 (W) 19-16 (W) at Springfield 21-7 (W) TOWSON ST. 18-35 (L) at Bloomsburg The Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (Pennsylvania Conference) is comprised of 14 schools in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education. This new governing body took over from the Department of Education on July 1, 1983, and the change was also reflected in the granting of university status to all member institutions formerly known as "state colleges." Dr. James H. McCormick is the chancellor of the Pennsylvania SSHE. The programs in the Pennsylvania Conference are under the leadership of a Board of Directors, which consists of the 14 university presidents. The organization of the conference, through its separate divisions of men• s and women• s athletics, is unique because it enables both programs to develop independently while sharing common goals. One of the largest conferences in the nation, the Pennsylvania Conference sponsors championship competition in 10 sports for men and 10 for women as follows: Fall Season - Men - cross country, football, soccer; Women - cross country, field hockey, tennis, and volleyball. Winter Season - Men - basketball, swimming and diving, wrestling; Women - basketball, gymnastics, and swimming and diving.

Redman Stadium is situated on the upper campus of Bloomsburg University as part of the university's 103-acre athletic complex. Completed in February 1974, the new facility took the place of Athletic Park in downtown Bloomsburg as "Home of the Huskies." The stadium, which overlooks the scenic Susquehanna Valley, has seating for 5,000 spectators, although attendance at several events has exceeded that total. The largest crowd to witness a football game in the facility totalled 7,483 at the 1985 Homecoming contest against Millersville. The area is designed for expansion should such a project be needed and contains large storage capabilities as well as a concession stand and restrooms. The university's upper campus also contains the E.H. Nelson Fieldhouse, Danny Litwhiler Field (baseball), and a huge field area which serves as home for the Huskies' soccer and lacrosse teams along with multiple practice fields. Located inside the stadium confines is an all-weather track used by BU's men's and women's track and field teams. A pressbox with seating for more than 40 persons is situated on top of the west stands. Originally, when planning began for the new stadium in 1963, the proposed site was the area now occupied by 18 tennis courts on the lower campus; however, a consultant's report recommended the upper campus development. The project finally got underway in 1972 at a total cost of $725,000. On Saturday, September 21, 1974, the first game was played in the stadium, and dedication ceremonies were held naming the facility in honor of Redman. A native of Sayre, Pa., and a graduate of its public schools, Coach Redman graduated with honors in economics at Swarthmore College where he also participated in four years of varsity football activities, served as captain during his senior year, and was also a varsity performer with the baseball team. He earned his Master of Arts degree in economics at Pennsylvania State University during his tenure at Bloomsburg State College. Redman had coached at Sayre High School and North High School in Binghamton, N.Y., prior to serving as an officer in the United States Navy during World War II. He left the service with the rank of lieutenant commander. He returned to his coaching duties at North High School and remained there until his appointment at Bloomsburg in 1947. In addition to serving as head coach of two varsity teams, Redman also served as dean of men and taught a full schedule of courses in economics. During his five years at Bloomsburg, his teams won 38 games while losing only four. His record included three Pennsylvania Conference championships and two undefeated teams. He left Bloomsburg in September 1952 to become head football coach at East Orange Senior High School, N.J. During the late 50s, he was appointed principal of the senior high school, and his untimely death occured in 1960 shortly after he had been elected superintendent of schools in East Orange, N.J. 43 l1i li i li li li li li li:1 i:1 i :li i li i l i l l i li l■1 1 1 1 1 1i1 1 ~1i1 1 1 1 i1:1i1i1i1i1i1 1i1i:j1i1i1i1i1i1: :1i1i1i1i1i1i1i1i1;1i1i1i1i:j1i1il The purpose of this guide is to provide members of the media with necessary information concerning Bloomsburg football.
