BASEBALL OUTLOOK 1968
The Husky nine will be ready to tackle a
tough schedule this season with the hopes of improving last year's record of 6 wins and 5 losses.
Only one player from last year's squad has
been lost through graduation. Coach Eli McLaughlin will have eleven varsity members returning and fourteen sophomores up from the
freshman team, in addition to eleven other upper
classmen battling for team positions.
Leading the pitching staff will be two solid
performers, Bob Gibble and Joe Walton, both
of whom were regulars on the mound last year.
Other hopeful hurlers include Lamar Beinhower, Steve Klinger, Dave Gay, Wally Smith, Bob
Rupp, Stan Swist, and Tom Matthews. The
catching chores will be handled by Ben Pollock, Jim Wysor, Roy Underhill, Marvin Serhan, and Dick Fisher.
Hustling for infield positions will be Jerry
Devlin, Gene Gruber, Frank Mastroianni, Jim
Rupert, Dennis Weis, John Wolk, Tom Wenner,
Frank Callahan, Lanny Diltz, Harold Albertson,
and Ron Magargle. The outfield positions are
open to Pat Colgan, Jack Hollis, Greg Kanaskie,
Ron Reitz, Mark Ferraro, Eric Landers, Tom
Matthews, Don Deitterick, Rick Camuso, and
Rick Bush.
With McLaughlin being tied up in swimming
until the middle of March, the squad has had to
work out early on its own. This, however, has
not affected the eagerness and enthusiasm
which should prove to be a significant factor in
the outcome of the season. There are indications
that this team will make every effort to equal
the achievements of the B.S.C. 1965 PSCAC
championship team.

ELI Mc;LAUGHLIN
HEAD BASEBALL COACH
Returning to the B. S. C. baseball scene this
year is Eli McLaughlin who assisted former
Head Coach Dick Mentzer for the seasons of
1965 and 1966. During the '65 season he helped
produce a Pennsylvania State College championship team which won the District 19 NAIA
championship and competed in the Area 8 NAIA
championship competition.
In addition to coaching baseball, he has served seven years as head swimming coach. His
tankmen have had winning seasons for the past
two years. His team just completed the season
posting nine victories against two losses and :6nishing second in the PSCAC meet. McLaughlin,
a member of the Health and Physical Education
department, previously served three years as
football line coach.
A native of Valley Forge, McLaughlin received his B. S. and M. Ed. degrees from West Chester State College. Prior to joining the B. S. C.
faculty and coaching staff in September, 1961,
he taught and coached at Penncrest High
School. In addition to playing high school
baseball, McLaughlin played with teams of the
U. S. Air Force and with several semi-pro teams.
[n 1952, he had an opportunity to try-out with
Cincinnati at Charleston, South Carolina, but
due to personal conflicts, had to reject the offer.
Coach McLaughlin will determine to build a
winning season on the dedication and hustle of
his team members. He believes that in order to
be a successful coach, one must have a good
philosophy, be a good organizer, and be a good
teacher.
