Team workin g into shape

by bob Oliver
Sighting a new offense and an
improved defense , BSC head
football coach Bill Sproule expressed optimism for the coming
season. The Huskies will be
trying to improve on last years
four wins, five loss record .
Coach Sproule has a fine
nucleus returning from last years
squad , having lost only five
seniors. Of the sixty gridders who
came out for the team , thirty-one
are returning lettermen .
Pro-Type Offense
The Huskies will be using the
Pro-Type Triple-Option Offense
this year in an effort to beef up
their scoring punch. This is a
must , if the Huskies plan to
improve on their recor d, as the
offense last year prod uced only
132 points. Trying to pick up the
rushing void left by the
graduation of All - Conference
Tailback Bob Warner will be
6'2" , 215 pound fullba ck George
Gruber. The BSC coache s feel
that George may turn out to be
the finest back in the conference.
Valuable also are backs Mark
Constable (6' , 1S5 lbs.) and Ken
Vancas (5'10" , 195 lbs.).
Coach Sproule feels the passing
attack has improved with Joe
Geigers year of experien ce*
Defense
The coaching staff felt that BSC
was weak in its pass coverage ,
and have made changes accordingly. One big switch has
been the moving of last years
number one receiver Joe Courter
to the defensive secondary. The

coaches feel J oe can beef up both
the pass coverage as well as the
overal l de f ens ive pla y . The
def ense will be using a bas ic pro
4-3 defense with a rover , which
should strengthen the point halters .
Kicking and Punting

dling the extra - point and field goal assignments. At this early
date , the punting area , which was
a strong point last year with the
graduat ed Dan SteUfox , seems to
be shaping up with Line Welles
slightly ahead of the pack '
*
Outlook
This years team , which is
bigger than the usual BSC team
but small in relation to the
league , counts on desire andexcellent shape to pull out a fine
season. Coach Sproule feels the
team can 't afford injuries , but
since they're in good shape they
should keep injuries minimal.
A pre-season guess of the
marine **is tha t West Chester and

Millersville will be top competition , as they are "good and
can hurt you". BSC, with 20 of 22
starters retur ning should be
tough also.
The season has been extended
to 10 games in an expansi on of the
BSC football program .
It seems that the Huskies will
provide the campus with a fine
attraction on the gridiron this
winter : What more could one
ask?
(Note : individual players will
be discussed in future issues.)
