THE COLLEGE'S HISTORY
The beginnings of the college were laid in 1857, over one hundred years ago,
when a band of Scotch-lrish farmers grouped together and founded a private
normal school at Edinboro by popular subscription to train teachers. 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 educa
ted 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 Sci
ences 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 in
formal student counseling and guidance. The faculty is keenly aware of profes
sional 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.

PRESIDENT
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 Uni
versity 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 Arkon 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 curriculm, the proDr. Chester T. McNerney
gram for educational supervision and administra
tion, and the improvement of inter-personal re
lationships among the various members of working groups. His concern in
this area has led to his writing of several books, lecturing and conducting
various workshops.
Under Dr. McNerney's guidance, the College has witnessed the growth of
administrative operations, broader forms of student government, and the de
velopment 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.
EDINBORO STATE COLLEGE'S ATHLETIC PROGRAM
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 includes intercollegiate competition in football,
basketball, wrestling, golf, track, tennis, baseball, soccer and cross country.
The finest of facilities are readily being made available to accommodate
these sports.
The most recent addition to Edinboro's athletic plant is Sox Harrison Stad
ium and Athletic Field. The stadium provides seating for 4,000 persons for
football contests along with complete track facilities. Currently a baseball
diamond of major league specifications is being constructed near the stadium.
The field will cover six acres with a selected clay base infield and specially
seeded playing area.
Scheduled for construction in the near future is a new fieldhouse. The
structure will include an inter-collegiate basketball court, three intramural bas
ketball courts, an AAU-sized swimming pool, wrestling and handball rooms,
a steam room, a corrective gym, medical suite, and rifle range. Seating capac
ity of the sports arena will be approximately 4,500 with provisions for later
expansion to 7,000 provided.
The continuing growth of Edinboro's athletic program is rapidly establishing
the College as a respected collegiate competitor.

HEAD BASKETBALL COACH
Jim McDonald
Since his appointment as head coach in 1962,
Jim McDonald has guided Edinboro State College
to 3 Western Division PSCAC Basketball Champ
ionship titles, the PSCAC State Championship,
and the NAIA District 18 Championship which
earned Edinboro a trip to the NAIA Championship
Playoffs in Kansas City, Missouri. In 1966 Mr.
McDonald was selected by the coaches of the
Eastern Seaboard States to be the Area 8 Basket
ball Coach of the Year and was honored as one of
the top ten finalists in the NAIA's Coach of the
Year poll for his outstanding accomplishments.
This season marks his sixth year at the High
lander helm.
Prior to accepting his current position at Edin
boro in 1961, McDonald served as assistant bas
ketball coach at Harborcreek High School in Erie ,Pa. He is a 1956 graduate
of Bridgeport High School, Bridgeport, West Virginia.
As a player, McDonald attended West Virginia Wesleyan College, where
he participated as a varsity "Bobcat” for four seasons. During his collegiate
basketball career McDonald was selected as an All-American two years by
the DPI and the NAIA as a result of his outstanding abilities on the hardwoods.
McDonald reached the climax of his athletic career with the Bobcats in his
senior year, 1960, when he ranked as the second leading scorer in the nation
with his average slightly over 33 points a game in regular season competition.
In that same year, he was chosen to try out for the United States Olympic Bas
ketball Team at Denver, Colorado. In addition, McDonald's performance in the
National NAIA Post-Season Basketball Tournament, held annually in Kansas
City, Mo., earned him the honor of being named to the NAIA's All-Tournament
Team for two consecutive years, 1959 and 1960.
ASSISTANT BASKETBALL COACH
Entering his third year as assistant basketball
coach and head freshman roundball coach is Jim
Christopher.
Before joining the coaching staff at Edinboro,
Christopher served as assistant baseball and basball coach at Carthage College, his collegiate alma
mater, in Kenosha, Wis., for two years. He also
spent a year at Henderson State College in Arkan
sas where he earned his M. S. degree.
Jim Christopher
Christopher graduated from Lake View High
School in Chicago, Illinois in 1958 where he gained recognition as both star
basketball and baseball player. During his junior and senior years at Lake View,
Christopher was named to the All-North Section Basketball team and elected
to the All-City (Chicago) Roundball team as a senior.
In addition to his basketball honors, Christopher was named to the All-City
(Chicago) Baseball team in both his junior and senior years. In his senior year
Mr. Christopher was chosen Athlete of the Year in the North Chicago Section.
Christopher proceeded to further his education at Carthage College in Ken
osha, Wisconsin where he earned varsity letters in both basketball and base
ball. In his senior year he was named to the Second Team NAIA District 20
basketball team. He graduated from Carthage College in 1962.
Christopher is also the head baseball coach and a physical education in
structor at Edinboro. He, his wife Marianne and 4-month-old daughter Karianne, reside in Edinboro.
ATHLETIC DIRECTOR
Under McDonald's tutorship, the Scots have won 80 of 117 regular season
encounters or slightly more than 68 % of their games. He posted his best mark
as a coach this past year as his cagers rang up a regular season record of 17-4
and finished with a 19-5 ledger after tournament play.
Mr. Allan W. Hall of Akron University was re
cently appointed to the newly created post of full
time Director of Athletics at the College.
Hall, a graduate of Baldwin-Wallace College,
has served as Assistant Director of Athletics at
Akron University for the past 2 years.
His '67-'68 team cracked 10 existing Edinboro State College basketball
records and captured the PSCAC State Championship by defeating annual
powerhouse Cheyney State. Last year's squad ranked as high as eleventh
among the nation's small colleges and finished fifth in the nation in the team
rebounding department. The Scots won their first 10 games while averaging
100 points a contest.
Under McDonald's tutelage Edinboro State College is rapidly earning re
spect in the small college circuits of the East. The Scots have never experi
enced a losing season under his guidance. In addition, three Edinboro cagers
have garnered All-American honors since 1965. Winning has become a
tradition in the McDonald camp. The 1968-1969 edition of Fighting Scots
will strive to keep the Clan in the win column.

Christopher also served as head baseball and
basketball coach of Carthage High School during
his coaching career. Following his appointment
at Carthage High, he ventured to Zion-Benton
High School for a two-year assignment as head
baseball and assistant basketball mentor.
Al Hall
While at Akron, Hall was quite active in the
University's athletic program. He piloted Akron's
cross country teams for 12 years and guided his
harriers to three Ohio Conferences and three AllOhio championships. His 1963 squad held the
distinction of being runnerup to national champ
ion Emporia State in the NCAA meet. Along with
his cross country duties he also served as assistant
track coach at A. U. for 12 years.
Hall's keen interest in all phases of sports is
reflected by his past accomplishments in the field of athletics. In 1962 he was
—
7—
selected Meet Director of the National AAU Swimming Championships. He
was highly instrumental in making Akron University the site of the Mideast
Regional NCAA Basketball Tournaments in 1964, 1965, and 1966. Hall is

1968-1969 OUTLOOK
Edinboro basketball coach Jim McDonald is his usual pessimistic self when
it comes to predicting any outcomes for the 1968-69 cage season.
A quick glance at the Fighting Scots' roster which lists 7 returnees from
last year's team that brought Edinboro its first state basketball title, the Western
Division Championship, and posted a 19-5 slate would undoubtedly seem to
dispel any clouds of pessimism. Yet, McDonald has some good reasons to
back up his feelings.
Missing from the Scots' lineup is 6-9 Mick Unick from Wharton, New Jersey,
who recently dropped out of school. As a sophomore last season, Unick led the
Highlanders under the boards by grabbing 303 rebounds for a 12.6 a game
average. He was also the team's second leading scorer as he singed the nets
for a 14.5 points a game average.
The corps of big men also suffered another jolt when 6-7 sophomore Jim
Mann from Wyandotte, Michigan was lost for the year because of a blood clot
on his knee. Mann had to undergo surgery for the injury and also had to with
draw from school. The brawny center was top point getter on last year's
frosh team which posted a fine 17-4 record. While burning the nets for 322
points, he also snared 189 rebounds to finish second in that department.
"With the loss of these two we have no really experienced men at the inside
positions," commented McDonald.
However, most small college coaches would be more than enthusiastic
toward the ensuing season if they found some of the Clan's talent on their
bench.
The Scots have 7 lettermen back from the greatest team in Edinboro's
basketball history along with another varsity letter winner from 2 years ago.
Add to these 8 veteran performers 7 sophomores from a team that finished
21 games with only 4 setbacks and averaged a torrid 99.4 points a game.
Six senior lettermen stud the list of returnees among which are Third Team
NAIA All-American Frank Smith, a 6-2 forward from Bentleyville, 6-4 guard
Harry Jenkins, who was a District 18 NAIA Honorable Mention winner and
Second Team PSCAC, 6-5 forward Rod Herron from Jackson Center, 6-2 for
ward Larry Smith from Brookville, tri-captain Ron Weaver, a 5-10 guard from
Pittsburgh and 5-10 guard Tim Ziner from Bethel Park.
From the senior group, Harry Jenkins, Frank Smith and Ron Weaver were
selected as tri-captains of the hardwooders. The election of tri-captains marked
a first in Edinboro's cage history.
Only two juniors are included on the 68-69 team. Vandergrift's 5-11 guard,
Jim Robinson, who garnered a Second Team spot on the PSCAC selections is
one of the third year men who will be vying for a starting guard spot. The other
junior is Darrell Gettys, a 6-6 forward from Wilkinsburg High School in Pitts
burgh. Gettys was a member of the 65-66 Edinboro team which posted an
18-5 overall record and won a trip to the NAIA playoffs in Kansas City.
Sophomores dominate the other "half" of the Fighting Scots' roster. Any of
the sophs could eventually break into the starting five during the year. Pressing
hard for varsity roles are the Illinois quintet of 6-10 center Art Dickinson from
Crystal Lake, Northbrook's 5-9 guard Burk Krohe, 5-11 guard Ray Overholt
10—
—
from Brookfield, 6-3 guard Craig Hiatt from Winthrop Harbor, and Carpentersville's 6-6 forward Doug Etzel. Dave Knowlton, a 6-1 playmaker from Mercer,
is putting in an early bid for one of the guard slots, while 6-4 Mike Burke from
Bevier, Mo., is trying to anchor one of the forward posts.
The fine group of 7 sophomores along wtih the 8 veterans should at least
give McDonald one of the strongest benches that he's had in a few years.
Of course, a repeat of last season would be a tumultous task. While enroute
to their fourth Western Division crown and first state championship, the 67-68
Scots changed 10 school records. Many new hurdles which could easily stymie
another outstanding season have been placed in front of this year's squad.
The Western Division challenges will be the strongest they've been in many
years and the Scots will encounter powerhouses Kenyon, Grove City and
Indiana University (Pa.) in the independent clashes. Other powerful foes to be
encountered on the schedule during a Christmas Tournament at Irvine, Califor
nia include Occidental, Southern Utah, Redlands University, Los Angeles
State and the University of California at Irvine.
McDonald's men came one game away from their Kansas City trip last sea
son. The odds are stacked heavily against them to get that close this year.
TRI-CAPTAINS FEATURE '68-'69 QUINTET
For the first time in Edinboro history tri-captains have been elected to re
present a Highlander athletic team. Frank Smith, Harry Jenkins, and Ron
Weaver, who are all seniors this year, have been selected as tri-captains of
the 1968-1969 basketball team.
Smith, a 6'2" operative from Bentleyville, was Edinboro's top award getter
the past season as he was named Third Team All-America by the NAIA, First
Team by the PSCAC, First Team District 18 by the NAIA, and Third Team
All-Pennsylvania by the Associated Press. He moved into tenth place on the
list of all-time career scorers with 759 points and completed the season as
the Scots' leading scorer by netting 447 points for an 18.6 game average.
Another good season could make Frank the fourth Highlander to climb over
the 1,000 point mark. In his 3 years of cage competition at Edinboro, he has
averaged 14.8 points a contest.
Harry Jenkins, a 6'4" forward from Bridgeport, West Virginia was the fourth
highest scorer during the '67-'68 cage season with a 12.9 average. Harry was
named to a Second Team PSCAC spot while garnering Honorable Mention
on the NAIA District 18 Team. Unfortunately the Scot forward injured his
ankle late in the year and missed the Highlanders' last 5 games.
Although Ron Weaver was the "little man" in the scoring department, he
proved to be the "big man" running the high-geared Edinboro offensive
machine. The 5'10" guard from Montour High School in Pittsburgh led the
team in assists and proved to be one of the best ball handlers on the team.
The tri-captains were instrumental in leading Edinboro to its first state
championship title and its winningest season (19-5) on the hardwoods.

1968-1969 Fighting Scot Freshmen L-R: Jim Gregorakis (Manager), Rich Wildauer, Jim Stranko,
Bob Koger, Jack Adams, Bob Burlingame, Russ Paulin, Sid Booker, Jim Prokell, Fred Riley, and
Coach Jim Christopher.
FROSH HAVE SIZE, SPEED AND SAVY
Once again it appears that Edinboro State has come up with an outstanding
crop of freshmen basketball players who will lead the Scots into battle on the
Highlander hardcourts.
Undoubtedly, the 1,968-1969 crop of freshman roundballers has the best
group of big men Edinboro State has ever recruited. Five out of the ten squad
members are 6-5 or taller. Heading the list of Coach Christopher's front
liners are Jack Adams, 6-6, 210-pound center from Cicero, Illinois; Mike
Brzozowski, 6-6, 195-pound forward from Cleveland, Ohio; Bob Burlingame,
6-8, 202-pound forward from Russell, Pa.; Robert Koger, 6-5, 210-pound
forward from Montour, and Russ Paulin, 6-7, 210-pound center from Chartiers Valley.
Relying primarily on a hook shot, Russ Paulin, the 6-7 pivot ace from Chartiers Valley, averaged 19.6 points a game and hauled down 14 rebounds per
contest. Behind Paulin the Chartiers Valley Colts finished fourth in the
WPIAL roundball loop.
Jack Adams, a 6-6 center from Morton East High School in the Chicago
suburbs, averaged 14 rebounds and ten points a game for the Mustangs in
the strong Suburban League. The pivotman captained the Marton East five
during his senior year.
Mike Brzozowski, a 6-6 forward from Lourdes Central Catholic High School
in Cleveland, Ohio, adds additional rebounding and scoring strength to the
Little Scots. The Crusaders' pivotman led Lourdes to a third place finish in
the North Central Conference while averaging 23.3 points a game in league
action and 17.0 points a contest overall. He cleared the boards of 306 stray
shots for a 17.0 rebounding average.
At the conclusion of his senior career, Brzozowski was a First Team AllConference center selection. He was named to the All-Northeastern Ohio
team in Class A competition and also Honorable Mention All-State.
Bob Burlingame, 6-8 center from Eisenhower High School in Warren, Pa.,
tallied on 59% of his scoring attempts from the floor and averaged 29.3
points a game last season. His career average at Eisenhower High is 25.8
points a contest.
Burlingame cleared the boards 397 times during the 1967-68 regular season
averaging 20.9 rebounds an outing. He proved to be a valuable asset under
the defensive boards where he collected 230 grabs of his rebounding total.
The frosh cagers also possess excellent speed at the guard slots.
Fred Riley, a 5-10 playmaker from Clearfield, shattered all existing scoring
and assist records at Clearfield Area High School. His 59 points in a single
16—
—
game last year established both a school and league record. Other school
marks set by the outside jump shooter include most points scored in one
season (568), most career points (1037), most assists in one season (133)
and most career assists (310).
While guiding the Bisons to an 18-4 slate in season play, Riley averaged
25.8 points a game. The Clearfield product was selected Outstanding Player
in District 9 last season and unanimously named to the Coaches and Sportswriters District 9 All-Star Team. He was named Fourth Team All-State by
UPl and made the AP's Honorable Mention All-State list. Riley's quickness
and speed will definitely support the Fighting Scot offense.
Erie's Sid Booker, 6-2 guard, possesses a fine outside shot and is a trem
endous leaper. He led the East High Warriors to the District 10 Basketball
Championship and was instrumental in the team's surge to the state's quarter
final playoffs. Booker owns the Erie city record in the high jump and will be a
definite threat for the State College crown. The Erie star already has a leap of
6-4 to his credentials along with a :14.9 second romp over the 120-yard high
hurdles. He won the District 10 titles in both the high jump and the high
hurdles and then placed second in the state in both events. Booker earned
All-City honors in football and basketball while he was an Honorable Mention
All-State winner in football.
Jim Stranko, a 6-1, 175 pound guard from Pittsburgh, is an exceptionally
good outside shooter who should bolster Coach Christopher's offensive corps.
Other talent-laden players on the freshman squad are Jim Prokell, a 6-0,
180 pound guard from Pittsburgh, and Rich Wildauer, a 5-8, 145 pound
guard from Reynoldsville. Wildauer was named the Most Valuable Player of the
Erie Diocesan League and averaged 24.6 points a game for DuBois Cen
tral Catholic.
"We have a fine group of boys who give 100 % effort all of the time," empha
sized Coach Christopher. "In the early workouts we were pleased with the
way they worked together. This is unusual for a freshman team which has
a lot of individual standouts since they have to sacrifice to mold into one
unit.” He added, "They have come a long way in the short period of time
we had practice."
The frosh will be trying to better a sparkling 17-4 slate posted by last year's
first-year men.

'68-'69 IN REVIEW
"WINNINGEST SEASON”
Some new ink found its way into the basketball record book at the close
of Edinboro State s 1967-68 cage season. Last year’s Scots, while enroute to
their first state championship and fourth Western Division crown changed
10 school marks.
The men of McDonald romped to their winningest season in Edinboro his
tory by nailing down 19 victories over the past campaign. The previous high
was that of 18 wins posted by the 1965-66 team.
The victories gave Coach Jim McDonald a total of 84 wins in six years at
Edinboro. His Highlander teams are averaging 14 wins each year and he has
never experienced a losing season while guiding the Scots.
The oldest existing record to fall was the most consecutive victory mark
established in the 1931-32 season. The Scots rolled past that record of 8 by
blazing to 10 consecutive wins in the first half of the season.
Other marks to fall include: highest season scoring average, 89.4; best
season free throw percentage, 70.6; most field goals in one season, 868; most
points in one game, 133; most field goals in one game, 54; most rebounds in a
single game, 86 against Lock Haven (also established a new PSCAC record);
most points in one half, 75; and most points in a game for two teams 223
(Edinboro vs. Lock Haven).
On the all-time list of seasons ranked by percentages, which marks 37 years
on the Edinboro hardwoods, the Highlanders' 19-5 record places fourth
among top runners.
Leading assaults on individual career marks were senior center Don Dougan
and junior forward Frnak Smith.
Dougan's 992 total rebounds vaulted him into the top spot in the list of
individual rebounders. He surpassed the previous high of 897 held by Darryl
Meachem. During his four years at Edinboro, Dougan has averaged 11.5 re
bounds a game and 12.7 points a game. His 1,095 points place him third on
the list of career high scorers. Walt Askins (1,739 )and Dan Petchel (1 344)
lead the list.
Frank Smith moved into tenth place on the list of all-time career scorers
with 759 points. Another good season this year could make Smith the fourth
Scot to climb over the 1,000 point mark. In his three years of cage compe
tition at Edinboro, Smith is averaging 14.8 points a game. He completed last
season as the team's leading scorer netting 447 points for an 18.6 game
average.
McDonald s band of Fighting Scots annexed their fourth conference title
in seven years at Edinboro by posting an unblemished 8-0 mark and entered
NAIA district play for the third time. The Highlanders' 73-61 victory over
Cheyney State netted Edinboro its first state title in basketball.

Lettermen Returning: 5
Last Game: 1 968, ESC lost 87-78
OUTLOOK: Cliff Altman's Golden Tornadoes charged to their third
straight winning season last year as they posted a 15-10 overall mark. The pros
pects are bright again this campaign as the Golden Ones lost only 1 starter
from last season's club. Top returnees are lettermen Ron Coleman, a 6-5 senior
center, Jerry O'Neill, a 6-3 senior forward, Donnie Sheffield, a 5-11 senior
guard, Denny Hopper, a 6-0 senior guard and Pete DuBois, a 5-11 junior
guard. Also showing promise under the boards is 6-4 sophomore center from
Uniontown, Dwight DeCarlo.The Tornadoes have stopped the Scots for the
last 2 years. They handed Edinboro its worst loss of the 60's on the Highland
er's home court during the 1967-68 season by a 107-98 count. Last year
Geneva again rode high on an 87-78 win at Beaver Falls. The G-Men will be
sky high once again in trying to spoil the Scots' season opener.
LOCK HAVEN STATE COLLEGE

1967-1968 Record:2-^?,
Letttermen Returning: 4
Last Games: 1 968, ESC won 133-90, 83-66
OUTLOOK: The Bald Eagles slipped to a dismal 2-18 slate last season but
should be a greatly improved team this year. The influx of a fine group of soph
omores, who nailed down the first winning record as a Bald Eagle freshman
team with an 8-6 mark, along with a group of experienced seniors should put
a few more checks in the win column for Coach Stan Daley. Top players are
Ed Danvis, Greg Kitchen, Larry Ulhig and 5-10 senior guard Jim Young. The
biggest problem facing the downstaters is their lack of height. Edinboro routed
the Bald Eagles 133-90 last year to establish 6 new school marks in the
wild scoring fray.

1967-1968 Record:
Lettermen Returning: 5
Last Games: 1 968, ESC won 84-56, 110-73
OUTLOOK: The Rockets will be striving to improve upon last year's 9-15
record, but still facing some height and outside shooting problems. Five return
ing lettermen form a strong nucleus to lead the Green Men into the 68-69 sea
son. Giving strength to the Rockets are 6-2 senior forward, Joe Bailie, 6-0
senior guard. Bob Bartlett, 6-0 senior guard, Gary Neuschwander, 6-2 junior
—
24-
forward, John Vaslowski and 6-1 junior guard, Ray Inman. Bartlett was the
team's second leading scorer last season with an 11.4 points a game average
while Bailie led the squad in rebounding. The addition of 6-5 Mack Lee will
give the "Rock" some much-needed strength under the boards. Five of the
Rockets' 9 wins came in conference action to give them a second place finish
behind Edinboro in the Western Division of the PSCAC. The "Rock" will
prove to be a tougher foe this year in loop play.
CLARION STATE COLLEGE

Location: Clarion, Pennsylvania
Enrollment: 3,030
Nickname: Golden Eagles
Colors: Blue and Gold
Athletic Director: Frank Lignelli
Head Coach: John Joy
OUTLOOK: Beware the Golden Eagles! John Joy's cagers suffered 1 5 set
backs in 20 outings last year but could easily reverse the record during the
'68-'69 campaign. Joining forces with 5 lettermen from last season are 6-2
Larry Kubovchick and 6-3 Bob Fusco who lettered as starters the year before
last. In their last appearances Kubovchick was named to the Western Division
First Team as he averaged 22.4 points a game in loop play, while Fusco earned
a Second Team berth with an 18.6 overall scoring average. The addition of
6-10 sophomore John Parks along with team captain 6-4 George Lawry will
provide the necessary rebounding power. Buddy Martin, a 6-0 guard who
averaged 14 points a game last year, will team up with 5-11 Denny Luce and
5-9 Joe Chalmers to give the Golden Eagles excellent speed and outside
shooting. Joy's club could easily capture the Western Division crown.

to hand Edinboro 1 of its 5 setbacks last season. Although they lost 6 lettermen,
5 letter winners returned for battle. Leading the attack will be NAIA AllAmerican Honorable Mention winner Ken Curtis, a 6-3 forward who averaged
24.6 points a game. Curtis set 3 Roberts Wesleyan regular season records

KENYON COLLEGE
January 6 — at Edinboro
Location: Gambier, Ohio
Enrollment: 800
Nickname: Lords
Colors: Purple and White
Athletic Director: Philip J. Morse
Head Coach: Robert W. Brannum
Sports News: Peter G. Edwards
Gymnasium: Wertheimer Field House
Conferences: Ohio A.C., NCAA
1967-1968 Record: 28-5
Lettermen Returning: 8
Last Game: Did not play
OUTLOOK: The Lords of Kenyon College, who raced to a 28-5 record last
season, will be one of the most powerful independents the Scots will face.
Leading the Kenyon offense will be the highest scoring pair of guards in the
nation this past year. At one slot is 5-9 junior John Rinka who finished sixth
in the nation with a 31.8 points a game average, while at the other post is John
Dunlop who averaged 24.4 for a combined total of 56.2 points a game between
the two. The sharpshooting duo is complemented by 7-1 senior center, Larry
Finstron. First year coach Bob Brannum looks for help from freshmen Marty
Hunt and Kit Marty. Marty was the number two Lord rebounder last year with
a 10.3 per game average. The clash in Crawford Gym will be the first meeting
of the 2 schools in their basketball histories.
ALLIANCE COLLEGE
January 8 — at Alliance, January 29 — at Edinboro
Location: Cambridge Springs, Pennsylvania
Enrollment: 625
Nickname: Eagles
Colors: Red and White
Athletic Director: Thaddeus T. Haluch
Head Coach: Thaddeus T. Haluch
Sports News: Dr. Robert Obojski
Gymnasium: Cambridge Springs H. S.
Conference: Independent, NAIA
1967-1968 Record: 9-13
Lettermen Returning: 1
Last Games: 1968, ESC won 90-72, 90-88
OUTLOOK: Coach Ted Haluch, beginning his 15th year as head mentor of
the Eagle cagers, is building his team around returning seniors John Stano,
a 6-5 forward, and John Sadowski, a 6-5 center. Stano was leading scorer for
the 1967-68 Eagles with 415 points, good for an 18.8 average. Sadowski, a
strong defensive man and the team's top rebounder (226 last year) scored 180
points in '67-68. Jerry Droleski, 6-3 forward who led freshman scorers last
year with over 500 points and an average of approximately 25 points per game,
will add depth to an already experienced 7 lettermen team. Rivalry between
Edinboro and Alliance is always keen; this year should mark no exception. The
Scots scored an amazing come-from-behind victory last season when they
scored 10 points in the final 53 seconds and then edged the Eagles 90-88 in
the overtime period.
CALIFORNIA STATE COLLEGE
January 11 — at Edinboro, February 15 — at California
Location: California, Pennsylvania
Enrollment: 5,1 29
Nickname: Vulcans
Colors: Red and Black
Athletic Director: Eugene Hester
Head Coach: Myles Witchey
Sports News: Robert Wood
Gymnasium: Hamer Hall
Conferences: PSCAC, NAIA
1967-1968 Record: 9-11
Lettermen Returning: 1
Last Games: 1 968, ESC won 98-91, 97-95
OUTLOOK: California was expected to be a top contender for the Western
Division laurels this year, but the Vulcans were hard hit by some key losses. 6
of 11 varsity returnees were missing from the Fire God's camp for numerous
reasons. However, Myles Witchey should once again come up with a Cal-
26—
—
ifornia five that will vie for a top spot in the standings. The Californians have
6-3 junior Bernie Floriani who is undoubtedly one of the best forwards in the
PSCAC. He was accorded a First Team Western Division berth and an NAIA
District 18 Honorable Mention award while averaging 16.9 points a game and
12.3 rebounds. Floriani is the Vulcans' only returning letterman. Helping the
front line situation are 6-4 stalwarts, Dave Orange and Jack Taylor. Orange is
a transfer student while Taylor is a sophomore. The greatest asset, as far as
additions go, is 6-2 Ray Green who starred on the Vulcan freshman team.
Green almost single-handedly served the Scot frosh one of their 4 setbacks
last season when he exploded for 32 points on the Highlander hardwoods. He
could be highly instrumental in providing California with a winning season.
FREDONIA STATE COLLEGE
February 1 — at Edinboro
Location: Fredonia, New York
Enrollment: 3,700
Nickname: Blue Devils
Colors: Blue and White
Athletic Director: Pat Damore
Head Coac/?; William Hughes
Sports News: Pat Damore
Gymnasium: Dods Hall
Conferences: SUNYAC, NAIA NCAA,
1967-1968 Record: 6-13
Lettermen Returning: 6
Last Game: 1 968, ESC won 93-84
OUTLOOK: Although the Blue Devils finished play with a dismal 6-13 rec
ord last year, the Fighting Scots had to post a 93-84 come-from-behind vic
tory to climb past the New Yorkers on their home court. Tom Scaglione, a 6-4
junior forward, led the Fredonia assault with a school record of 40 points and
finished the year with a 17.5 points a game average. The lack of a big man will
be the largest obstacle that the Blue Devils will have to overcome. Six lettermen, including 6-3 Joe Williams, 6-2 Greg PrechtI, and 6-4 Basil Estell give
the Devils good overall size and experience. The last time Fredonia topped the
Scots was 12 years ago when the Blue and White posted an 82-76 victory.
INDIANA UNIVERSITY OF PA.
February 8 — at Indiana, February 26 — at Edinboro
Location: Indiana, Pennsylvania
Enrollment: 6,750
Nickname: Big Indians
Colors: Red and White
Athletic Director: Charles Klausing
Head Coach: Herm Sledzik
Sports News: Larry Judge
Gymnasium: Memorial Field House
Conferences: NAIA, NCAA
1967-1968 Record: 18-6
Lettermen Returning: 9
Last Games: 1968, ESC won 87-85,
lost 67-69
OUTLOOK: Herm Sledzik's Big Indians could easily be the 1968-69 NAIA
representative to Kansas City. The Indians have 7 returning lettermen from a
team that posted an 18-6 win-loss record along with 2 top newcomers and a
crop of outstanding freshmen. Pacing the Indiana attack will be First Team
NAIA District 18 selection Gary Lupek, a 6-6 forward who averaged 21 points
a game. He was the leading scorer in District 18 and ranked fifth in the re
bounding department with a 13.9 mark. Adding power to the Tribe are transfers
6-2 Dave Smith from Waynesburg College and 6-1 Bill Donnelly from Flor
ida's Miami University. Rejoining Lupek are 3 other of last year's starting five:
6-1 senior Les Shoop, 5-11 junior Jim DeMark and 5-10 junior Mont Mat
tocks. The Tribe has tremendous bench strength with the group of sophomores
who starred as frosh last year. Most impressive is 6-5 center Dave McCullough.
Edinboro and Indiana traded 2-point victories on their home courts last year.

GROVE CITY
February 24 — at Grove City
Location: Grove City, Pennsylvania
Enrollment: 2,000
Nickname: Wolverines, Grovers
Color: Crimson
Athletic Director: R. Jack Behringer
Head Coach: Cilff Wettig
Sports News: L. Wayne Fox
Gymnasium: Grove City Arena
Conference: Independent, NCAA
1967-1968 Record: yb-A
Lettermen Returning: 1
Last Game: 1 968, ESC won 86-65
OUTLOOK: It's difficult not to become excited in considering Wolverine
basketball prospects this year with all seven lettermen returning from last
year's team which set a number of all-time records at Grove City. Back to lead
the Grovers will be senior captain Jeff Claypool (6-7) from Lexington, Ohio,
the greatest scorer in Grove City history, who last year was named "Player of
the Year" by both Western Pennsylvania area coaches and the Pittsburgh
Chapter of the United States Basketball Writers Association. Supplementing
Claypool on the court will be his former high school teammate from Lexington
High, John Cochran (6-2) and Jim Ziegler (6-9) from Munhall. Strong to
help the Grove City cause will be Dave Roberts (5-11), Tom Carr (6-0) and
Doug Rohrer (6-6). The Grovers will be another of the highly united indepen
dent cage teams in Western Pennsylvania.
PENNSYLVANIA STATE COLLEGES
ATHLETIC CONFERENCE
The Pennsylvania State Colleges Athletic Conference (PSCAC) was organ
ized in 1951. Its membership originally consisted of the 14 state colleges:
Bloomsburg, California, Cheyney, Clarion, East Stroudsburg, Edinboro, Indi
ana, Kutztown, Lock Haven, Mansfield, Millersville, Shippensburg, Slippery
Rock, and West Chester. In 1966 Indiana no longer was eligible for conference
laurels as it acquired university status.
The conference is divided into a Western Division and an Eastern Division.
Members of the Eastern Division include Bloomsburg, Cheyney, East Strouds
burg, Kutztown, Mansfield, Millersville, Shippensburg, and West Chester,
while Edinboro, California, Clarion, Lock Haven, and Slippery Rock comprise
the Western Division. In basketball, the conference champions of both leagues
face each other at the end of the season to determine the PSCAC champ
ionship.
All 13 state colleges that compete in the PSCAC belong to the NAIA,
while many are also NCAA members.

THE COLLEGE'S HISTORY
The beginnings of the college were laid in 1857, over one hundred years ago,
when a band of Scotch-lrish farmers grouped together and founded a private
normal school at Edinboro by popular subscription to train teachers. 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 educa
ted 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 Sci
ences 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 in
formal student counseling and guidance. The faculty is keenly aware of profes
sional 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.

PRESIDENT
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 Uni
versity 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 Arkon 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 curriculm, the proDr. Chester T. McNerney
gram for educational supervision and administra
tion, and the improvement of inter-personal re
lationships among the various members of working groups. His concern in
this area has led to his writing of several books, lecturing and conducting
various workshops.
Under Dr. McNerney's guidance, the College has witnessed the growth of
administrative operations, broader forms of student government, and the de
velopment 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.
EDINBORO STATE COLLEGE'S ATHLETIC PROGRAM
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 includes intercollegiate competition in football,
basketball, wrestling, golf, track, tennis, baseball, soccer and cross country.
The finest of facilities are readily being made available to accommodate
these sports.
The most recent addition to Edinboro's athletic plant is Sox Harrison Stad
ium and Athletic Field. The stadium provides seating for 4,000 persons for
football contests along with complete track facilities. Currently a baseball
diamond of major league specifications is being constructed near the stadium.
The field will cover six acres with a selected clay base infield and specially
seeded playing area.
Scheduled for construction in the near future is a new fieldhouse. The
structure will include an inter-collegiate basketball court, three intramural bas
ketball courts, an AAU-sized swimming pool, wrestling and handball rooms,
a steam room, a corrective gym, medical suite, and rifle range. Seating capac
ity of the sports arena will be approximately 4,500 with provisions for later
expansion to 7,000 provided.
The continuing growth of Edinboro's athletic program is rapidly establishing
the College as a respected collegiate competitor.

Jim McDonald
Since his appointment as head coach in 1962,
Jim McDonald has guided Edinboro State College
to 3 Western Division PSCAC Basketball Champ
ionship titles, the PSCAC State Championship,
and the NAIA District 18 Championship which
earned Edinboro a trip to the NAIA Championship
Playoffs in Kansas City, Missouri. In 1966 Mr.
McDonald was selected by the coaches of the
Eastern Seaboard States to be the Area 8 Basket
ball Coach of the Year and was honored as one of
the top ten finalists in the NAIA's Coach of the

Prior to accepting his current position at Edin

basketball career McDonald was selected as an All-American two years by
the DPI and the NAIA as a result of his outstanding abilities on the hardwoods.
McDonald reached the climax of his athletic career with the Bobcats in his
senior year, 1960, when he ranked as the second leading scorer in the nation
with his average slightly over 33 points a game in regular season competition.
In that same year, he was chosen to try out for the United States Olympic Bas
ketball Team at Denver, Colorado. In addition, McDonald's performance in the
National NAIA Post-Season Basketball Tournament, held annually in Kansas
City, Mo., earned him the honor of being named to the NAIA's All-Tournament
Team for two consecutive years, 1959 and 1960.
ASSISTANT BASKETBALL COACH
Entering his third year as assistant basketball
coach and head freshman roundball coach is Jim
Christopher.
Before joining the coaching staff at Edinboro,
Christopher served as assistant baseball and basball coach at Carthage College, his collegiate alma
mater, in Kenosha, Wis., for two years. He also
spent a year at Henderson State College in Arkan
sas where he earned his M. S. degree.
Jim Christopher
Christopher graduated from Lake View High
School in Chicago, Illinois in 1958 where he gained recognition as both star
basketball and baseball player. During his junior and senior years at Lake View,

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR
Under McDonald's tutorship, the Scots have won 80 of 117 regular season
encounters or slightly more than 68 % of their games. He posted his best mark
as a coach this past year as his cagers rang up a regular season record of 17-4
and finished with a 19-5 ledger after tournament play.
Mr. Allan W. Hall of Akron University was re
cently appointed to the newly created post of full
time Director of Athletics at the College.
Hall, a graduate of Baldwin-Wallace College,
has served as Assistant Director of Athletics at
Akron University for the past 2 years.
His '67-'68 team cracked 10 existing Edinboro State College basketball
records and captured the PSCAC State Championship by defeating annual
powerhouse Cheyney State. Last year's squad ranked as high as eleventh
among the nation's small colleges and finished fifth in the nation in the team
rebounding department. The Scots won their first 10 games while averaging
100 points a contest.
Under McDonald's tutelage Edinboro State College is rapidly earning re
spect in the small college circuits of the East. The Scots have never experi
enced a losing season under his guidance. In addition, three Edinboro cagers
have garnered All-American honors since 1965. Winning has become a
tradition in the McDonald camp. The 1968-1969 edition of Fighting Scots
will strive to keep the Clan in the win column.

1968-1969 OUTLOOK
Edinboro basketball coach Jim McDonald is his usual pessimistic self when
it comes to predicting any outcomes for the 1968-69 cage season.
A quick glance at the Fighting Scots' roster which lists 7 returnees from
last year's team that brought Edinboro its first state basketball title, the Western
Division Championship, and posted a 19-5 slate would undoubtedly seem to
dispel any clouds of pessimism. Yet, McDonald has some good reasons to
back up his feelings.
Missing from the Scots' lineup is 6-9 Mick Unick from Wharton, New Jersey,
who recently dropped out of school. As a sophomore last season, Unick led the
Highlanders under the boards by grabbing 303 rebounds for a 12.6 a game
average. He was also the team's second leading scorer as he singed the nets
for a 14.5 points a game average.
The corps of big men also suffered another jolt when 6-7 sophomore Jim
Mann from Wyandotte, Michigan was lost for the year because of a blood clot
on his knee. Mann had to undergo surgery for the injury and also had to with
draw from school. The brawny center was top point getter on last year's
frosh team which posted a fine 17-4 record. While burning the nets for 322
points, he also snared 189 rebounds to finish second in that department.
"With the loss of these two we have no really experienced men at the inside
positions," commented McDonald.
However, most small college coaches would be more than enthusiastic
toward the ensuing season if they found some of the Clan's talent on their
bench.
The Scots have 7 lettermen back from the greatest team in Edinboro's
basketball history along with another varsity letter winner from 2 years ago.
Add to these 8 veteran performers 7 sophomores from a team that finished
21 games with only 4 setbacks and averaged a torrid 99.4 points a game.
Six senior lettermen stud the list of returnees among which are Third Team
NAIA All-American Frank Smith, a 6-2 forward from Bentleyville, 6-4 guard
Harry Jenkins, who was a District 18 NAIA Honorable Mention winner and
Second Team PSCAC, 6-5 forward Rod Herron from Jackson Center, 6-2 for
ward Larry Smith from Brookville, tri-captain Ron Weaver, a 5-10 guard from
Pittsburgh and 5-10 guard Tim Ziner from Bethel Park.
From the senior group, Harry Jenkins, Frank Smith and Ron Weaver were
selected as tri-captains of the hardwooders. The election of tri-captains marked
a first in Edinboro's cage history.
Only two juniors are included on the 68-69 team. Vandergrift's 5-11 guard,
Jim Robinson, who garnered a Second Team spot on the PSCAC selections is
one of the third year men who will be vying for a starting guard spot. The other
junior is Darrell Gettys, a 6-6 forward from Wilkinsburg High School in Pitts
burgh. Gettys was a member of the 65-66 Edinboro team which posted an
18-5 overall record and won a trip to the NAIA playoffs in Kansas City.
Sophomores dominate the other "half" of the Fighting Scots' roster. Any of
the sophs could eventually break into the starting five during the year. Pressing
hard for varsity roles are the Illinois quintet of 6-10 center Art Dickinson from
Crystal Lake, Northbrook's 5-9 guard Burk Krohe, 5-11 guard Ray Overholt
10—
—
from Brookfield, 6-3 guard Craig Hiatt from Winthrop Harbor, and Carpentersville's 6-6 forward Doug Etzel. Dave Knowlton, a 6-1 playmaker from Mercer,
is putting in an early bid for one of the guard slots, while 6-4 Mike Burke from
Bevier, Mo., is trying to anchor one of the forward posts.
The fine group of 7 sophomores along wtih the 8 veterans should at least
give McDonald one of the strongest benches that he's had in a few years.
Of course, a repeat of last season would be a tumultous task. While enroute
to their fourth Western Division crown and first state championship, the 67-68
Scots changed 10 school records. Many new hurdles which could easily stymie
another outstanding season have been placed in front of this year's squad.
The Western Division challenges will be the strongest they've been in many
years and the Scots will encounter powerhouses Kenyon, Grove City and
Indiana University (Pa.) in the independent clashes. Other powerful foes to be
encountered on the schedule during a Christmas Tournament at Irvine, Califor
nia include Occidental, Southern Utah, Redlands University, Los Angeles
State and the University of California at Irvine.
McDonald's men came one game away from their Kansas City trip last sea
son. The odds are stacked heavily against them to get that close this year.
TRI-CAPTAINS FEATURE '68-'69 QUINTET
For the first time in Edinboro history tri-captains have been elected to re
present a Highlander athletic team. Frank Smith, Harry Jenkins, and Ron
Weaver, who are all seniors this year, have been selected as tri-captains of
the 1968-1969 basketball team.
Smith, a 6'2" operative from Bentleyville, was Edinboro's top award getter
the past season as he was named Third Team All-America by the NAIA, First
Team by the PSCAC, First Team District 18 by the NAIA, and Third Team
All-Pennsylvania by the Associated Press. He moved into tenth place on the
list of all-time career scorers with 759 points and completed the season as
the Scots' leading scorer by netting 447 points for an 18.6 game average.
Another good season could make Frank the fourth Highlander to climb over
the 1,000 point mark. In his 3 years of cage competition at Edinboro, he has
averaged 14.8 points a contest.
Harry Jenkins, a 6'4" forward from Bridgeport, West Virginia was the fourth
highest scorer during the '67-'68 cage season with a 12.9 average. Harry was
named to a Second Team PSCAC spot while garnering Honorable Mention
on the NAIA District 18 Team. Unfortunately the Scot forward injured his
ankle late in the year and missed the Highlanders' last 5 games.
Although Ron Weaver was the "little man" in the scoring department, he
proved to be the "big man" running the high-geared Edinboro offensive
machine. The 5'10" guard from Montour High School in Pittsburgh led the
team in assists and proved to be one of the best ball handlers on the team.
The tri-captains were instrumental in leading Edinboro to its first state
championship title and its winningest season (19-5) on the hardwoods.

1968-1969 Fighting Scot Freshmen L-R: Jim Gregorakis (Manager), Rich Wildauer, Jim Stranko,
Bob Koger, Jack Adams, Bob Burlingame, Russ Paulin, Sid Booker, Jim Prokell, Fred Riley, and
Coach Jim Christopher.
FROSH HAVE SIZE, SPEED AND SAVY
Once again it appears that Edinboro State has come up with an outstanding
crop of freshmen basketball players who will lead the Scots into battle on the
Highlander hardcourts.
Undoubtedly, the 1,968-1969 crop of freshman roundballers has the best
group of big men Edinboro State has ever recruited. Five out of the ten squad
members are 6-5 or taller. Heading the list of Coach Christopher's front
liners are Jack Adams, 6-6, 210-pound center from Cicero, Illinois; Mike
Brzozowski, 6-6, 195-pound forward from Cleveland, Ohio; Bob Burlingame,
6-8, 202-pound forward from Russell, Pa.; Robert Koger, 6-5, 210-pound
forward from Montour, and Russ Paulin, 6-7, 210-pound center from Chartiers Valley.
Relying primarily on a hook shot, Russ Paulin, the 6-7 pivot ace from Chartiers Valley, averaged 19.6 points a game and hauled down 14 rebounds per
contest. Behind Paulin the Chartiers Valley Colts finished fourth in the
WPIAL roundball loop.
Jack Adams, a 6-6 center from Morton East High School in the Chicago
suburbs, averaged 14 rebounds and ten points a game for the Mustangs in
the strong Suburban League. The pivotman captained the Marton East five
during his senior year.
Mike Brzozowski, a 6-6 forward from Lourdes Central Catholic High School
in Cleveland, Ohio, adds additional rebounding and scoring strength to the
Little Scots. The Crusaders' pivotman led Lourdes to a third place finish in
the North Central Conference while averaging 23.3 points a game in league
action and 17.0 points a contest overall. He cleared the boards of 306 stray
shots for a 17.0 rebounding average.
At the conclusion of his senior career, Brzozowski was a First Team AllConference center selection. He was named to the All-Northeastern Ohio
team in Class A competition and also Honorable Mention All-State.
Bob Burlingame, 6-8 center from Eisenhower High School in Warren, Pa.,
tallied on 59% of his scoring attempts from the floor and averaged 29.3
points a game last season. His career average at Eisenhower High is 25.8
points a contest.
Burlingame cleared the boards 397 times during the 1967-68 regular season
averaging 20.9 rebounds an outing. He proved to be a valuable asset under
the defensive boards where he collected 230 grabs of his rebounding total.
The frosh cagers also possess excellent speed at the guard slots.
Fred Riley, a 5-10 playmaker from Clearfield, shattered all existing scoring
and assist records at Clearfield Area High School. His 59 points in a single
16—
—
game last year established both a school and league record. Other school
marks set by the outside jump shooter include most points scored in one
season (568), most career points (1037), most assists in one season (133)
and most career assists (310).
While guiding the Bisons to an 18-4 slate in season play, Riley averaged
25.8 points a game. The Clearfield product was selected Outstanding Player
in District 9 last season and unanimously named to the Coaches and Sportswriters District 9 All-Star Team. He was named Fourth Team All-State by
UPl and made the AP's Honorable Mention All-State list. Riley's quickness
and speed will definitely support the Fighting Scot offense.
Erie's Sid Booker, 6-2 guard, possesses a fine outside shot and is a trem
endous leaper. He led the East High Warriors to the District 10 Basketball
Championship and was instrumental in the team's surge to the state's quarter
final playoffs. Booker owns the Erie city record in the high jump and will be a
definite threat for the State College crown. The Erie star already has a leap of
6-4 to his credentials along with a :14.9 second romp over the 120-yard high
hurdles. He won the District 10 titles in both the high jump and the high
hurdles and then placed second in the state in both events. Booker earned
All-City honors in football and basketball while he was an Honorable Mention
All-State winner in football.
Jim Stranko, a 6-1, 175 pound guard from Pittsburgh, is an exceptionally
good outside shooter who should bolster Coach Christopher's offensive corps.
Other talent-laden players on the freshman squad are Jim Prokell, a 6-0,
180 pound guard from Pittsburgh, and Rich Wildauer, a 5-8, 145 pound
guard from Reynoldsville. Wildauer was named the Most Valuable Player of the
Erie Diocesan League and averaged 24.6 points a game for DuBois Cen
tral Catholic.
"We have a fine group of boys who give 100 % effort all of the time," empha
sized Coach Christopher. "In the early workouts we were pleased with the
way they worked together. This is unusual for a freshman team which has
a lot of individual standouts since they have to sacrifice to mold into one
unit.” He added, "They have come a long way in the short period of time
we had practice."
The frosh will be trying to better a sparkling 17-4 slate posted by last year's
first-year men.

'68-'69 IN REVIEW
"WINNINGEST SEASON”
Some new ink found its way into the basketball record book at the close
of Edinboro State s 1967-68 cage season. Last year’s Scots, while enroute to
their first state championship and fourth Western Division crown changed
10 school marks.
The men of McDonald romped to their winningest season in Edinboro his
tory by nailing down 19 victories over the past campaign. The previous high
was that of 18 wins posted by the 1965-66 team.
The victories gave Coach Jim McDonald a total of 84 wins in six years at
Edinboro. His Highlander teams are averaging 14 wins each year and he has
never experienced a losing season while guiding the Scots.
The oldest existing record to fall was the most consecutive victory mark
established in the 1931-32 season. The Scots rolled past that record of 8 by
blazing to 10 consecutive wins in the first half of the season.
Other marks to fall include: highest season scoring average, 89.4; best
season free throw percentage, 70.6; most field goals in one season, 868; most
points in one game, 133; most field goals in one game, 54; most rebounds in a
single game, 86 against Lock Haven (also established a new PSCAC record);
most points in one half, 75; and most points in a game for two teams 223
(Edinboro vs. Lock Haven).
On the all-time list of seasons ranked by percentages, which marks 37 years
on the Edinboro hardwoods, the Highlanders' 19-5 record places fourth
among top runners.
Leading assaults on individual career marks were senior center Don Dougan
and junior forward Frnak Smith.
Dougan's 992 total rebounds vaulted him into the top spot in the list of
individual rebounders. He surpassed the previous high of 897 held by Darryl
Meachem. During his four years at Edinboro, Dougan has averaged 11.5 re
bounds a game and 12.7 points a game. His 1,095 points place him third on
the list of career high scorers. Walt Askins (1,739 )and Dan Petchel (1 344)
lead the list.
Frank Smith moved into tenth place on the list of all-time career scorers
with 759 points. Another good season this year could make Smith the fourth
Scot to climb over the 1,000 point mark. In his three years of cage compe
tition at Edinboro, Smith is averaging 14.8 points a game. He completed last
season as the team's leading scorer netting 447 points for an 18.6 game
average.
McDonald s band of Fighting Scots annexed their fourth conference title
in seven years at Edinboro by posting an unblemished 8-0 mark and entered
NAIA district play for the third time. The Highlanders' 73-61 victory over
Cheyney State netted Edinboro its first state title in basketball.
The Scots Capture the State Championship

THE OPPOSITION
GENEVA COLLEGE
November 30 — at Edinboro
Location: Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania
Enrollment: 1,300
Nickname: Golden Tornadoes
Colors: Gold and White
Athletic Director: Clifford Aultman
Head Coach: Clifford Aultman
Sports /Veuvs; John Carpenter
Gymnasium: Metheny Field House
Conference: \NesX Penn, NAIA
1967-1968 Record: ^5-^Q
Lettermen Returning: 5
Last Game: 1 968, ESC lost 87-78
OUTLOOK: Cliff Altman's Golden Tornadoes charged to their third
straight winning season last year as they posted a 15-10 overall mark. The pros
pects are bright again this campaign as the Golden Ones lost only 1 starter
from last season's club. Top returnees are lettermen Ron Coleman, a 6-5 senior
center, Jerry O'Neill, a 6-3 senior forward, Donnie Sheffield, a 5-11 senior
guard, Denny Hopper, a 6-0 senior guard and Pete DuBois, a 5-11 junior
guard. Also showing promise under the boards is 6-4 sophomore center from
Uniontown, Dwight DeCarlo.The Tornadoes have stopped the Scots for the
last 2 years. They handed Edinboro its worst loss of the 60's on the Highland
er's home court during the 1967-68 season by a 107-98 count. Last year
Geneva again rode high on an 87-78 win at Beaver Falls. The G-Men will be
sky high once again in trying to spoil the Scots' season opener.
LOCK HAVEN STATE COLLEGE
December 7 — at Edinboro, January 24 — at Lock Haven
Location: Lock Haven, Pennsylvania
Enrollment: 1,981
Nickname: Bald Eagles
Colors: Maroon and Gray
Athletic Director: Stephen Jacobs
Head Coach: Stanley Daley
Sports News: Ray Kodish
Gymnasium: Thomas Field House
Conference: PSCAC, NAIA, NCAA
1967-1968 Record:2-^?,
Letttermen Returning: 4
Last Games: 1 968, ESC won 133-90, 83-66
OUTLOOK: The Bald Eagles slipped to a dismal 2-18 slate last season but
should be a greatly improved team this year. The influx of a fine group of soph
omores, who nailed down the first winning record as a Bald Eagle freshman
team with an 8-6 mark, along with a group of experienced seniors should put
a few more checks in the win column for Coach Stan Daley. Top players are
Ed Danvis, Greg Kitchen, Larry Ulhig and 5-10 senior guard Jim Young. The
biggest problem facing the downstaters is their lack of height. Edinboro routed
the Bald Eagles 133-90 last year to establish 6 new school marks in the
wild scoring fray.
SLIPPERY ROCK STATE COLLEGE
December 10 — at Edinboro, February 6 — at Slippery Rock
Z.ocar/o/7.'Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania
Enrollment: 4,000
Nickname: Rockets
Colors: Green and White
Athletic Director: Dr. Bradley Keith
Head Coach: Henry Baierl
Sports News: Joseph P. Mancini
Gymnasium: Morrow Field House
Conferences: PSCAC, NAIA, NCAA
1967-1968 Record:
Lettermen Returning: 5
Last Games: 1 968, ESC won 84-56, 110-73
OUTLOOK: The Rockets will be striving to improve upon last year's 9-15
record, but still facing some height and outside shooting problems. Five return
ing lettermen form a strong nucleus to lead the Green Men into the 68-69 sea
son. Giving strength to the Rockets are 6-2 senior forward, Joe Bailie, 6-0
senior guard. Bob Bartlett, 6-0 senior guard, Gary Neuschwander, 6-2 junior
—
24-
forward, John Vaslowski and 6-1 junior guard, Ray Inman. Bartlett was the
team's second leading scorer last season with an 11.4 points a game average
while Bailie led the squad in rebounding. The addition of 6-5 Mack Lee will
give the "Rock" some much-needed strength under the boards. Five of the
Rockets' 9 wins came in conference action to give them a second place finish
behind Edinboro in the Western Division of the PSCAC. The "Rock" will
prove to be a tougher foe this year in loop play.
CLARION STATE COLLEGE
December 13 — at Clarion, February 18 — at Edinboro
Sports News: Bill Proudfit
Gymnasium: Harvey
Conferences: PSCAC, NAIA
1967-1968 Record: 6-^b
Lettermen Returning: 1
Last Games: 1 968, ESC won 103-92, 110-84
Location: Clarion, Pennsylvania
Enrollment: 3,030
Nickname: Golden Eagles
Colors: Blue and Gold
Athletic Director: Frank Lignelli
Head Coach: John Joy
OUTLOOK: Beware the Golden Eagles! John Joy's cagers suffered 1 5 set
backs in 20 outings last year but could easily reverse the record during the
'68-'69 campaign. Joining forces with 5 lettermen from last season are 6-2
Larry Kubovchick and 6-3 Bob Fusco who lettered as starters the year before
last. In their last appearances Kubovchick was named to the Western Division
First Team as he averaged 22.4 points a game in loop play, while Fusco earned
a Second Team berth with an 18.6 overall scoring average. The addition of
6-10 sophomore John Parks along with team captain 6-4 George Lawry will
provide the necessary rebounding power. Buddy Martin, a 6-0 guard who
averaged 14 points a game last year, will team up with 5-11 Denny Luce and
5-9 Joe Chalmers to give the Golden Eagles excellent speed and outside
shooting. Joy's club could easily capture the Western Division crown.

Location: North Chili, New York
Enrollment: 700
Nickname: Raiders
Colors: Red and White
Athletic Director: John A. Fraser
Head Coach: John A. Fraser
OUTLOOK: The Raiders have proved to be one of the toughest indepen
dent teams in the area in recent years. The New Yorkers halted the Scots 87-80
to hand Edinboro 1 of its 5 setbacks last season. Although they lost 6 lettermen,
5 letter winners returned for battle. Leading the attack will be NAIA AllAmerican Honorable Mention winner Ken Curtis, a 6-3 forward who averaged
24.6 points a game. Curtis set 3 Roberts Wesleyan regular season records
while leading the Raiders to a 13-11 record. Seeing much action will be 5-10
Dave Scribner, 6-4 Paul Crowell, 6-3 Tim Luke, 5-10 Ralph Roach and 6-5
Willard Evans.

Nickname: Lords
Colors: Purple and White
Athletic Director: Philip J. Morse
Head Coach: Robert W. Brannum
Sports News: Peter G. Edwards
Gymnasium: Wertheimer Field House
Conferences: Ohio A.C., NCAA
1967-1968 Record: 28-5
Lettermen Returning: 8
Last Game: Did not play
OUTLOOK: The Lords of Kenyon College, who raced to a 28-5 record last
season, will be one of the most powerful independents the Scots will face.
Leading the Kenyon offense will be the highest scoring pair of guards in the
nation this past year. At one slot is 5-9 junior John Rinka who finished sixth
in the nation with a 31.8 points a game average, while at the other post is John
Dunlop who averaged 24.4 for a combined total of 56.2 points a game between
the two. The sharpshooting duo is complemented by 7-1 senior center, Larry
Finstron. First year coach Bob Brannum looks for help from freshmen Marty
Hunt and Kit Marty. Marty was the number two Lord rebounder last year with
a 10.3 per game average. The clash in Crawford Gym will be the first meeting
of the 2 schools in their basketball histories.
ALLIANCE COLLEGE
January 8 — at Alliance, January 29 — at Edinboro
Location: Cambridge Springs, Pennsylvania
Enrollment: 625
Nickname: Eagles
Colors: Red and White
Athletic Director: Thaddeus T. Haluch
Head Coach: Thaddeus T. Haluch
Sports News: Dr. Robert Obojski
Gymnasium: Cambridge Springs H. S.
Conference: Independent, NAIA
1967-1968 Record: 9-13
Lettermen Returning: 1
Last Games: 1968, ESC won 90-72, 90-88
OUTLOOK: Coach Ted Haluch, beginning his 15th year as head mentor of
the Eagle cagers, is building his team around returning seniors John Stano,
a 6-5 forward, and John Sadowski, a 6-5 center. Stano was leading scorer for
the 1967-68 Eagles with 415 points, good for an 18.8 average. Sadowski, a
strong defensive man and the team's top rebounder (226 last year) scored 180
points in '67-68. Jerry Droleski, 6-3 forward who led freshman scorers last
year with over 500 points and an average of approximately 25 points per game,
will add depth to an already experienced 7 lettermen team. Rivalry between
Edinboro and Alliance is always keen; this year should mark no exception. The
Scots scored an amazing come-from-behind victory last season when they
scored 10 points in the final 53 seconds and then edged the Eagles 90-88 in
the overtime period.
CALIFORNIA STATE COLLEGE
January 11 — at Edinboro, February 15 — at California
Location: California, Pennsylvania
Enrollment: 5,1 29
Nickname: Vulcans
Colors: Red and Black
Athletic Director: Eugene Hester
Head Coach: Myles Witchey
Sports News: Robert Wood
Gymnasium: Hamer Hall
Conferences: PSCAC, NAIA
1967-1968 Record: 9-11
Lettermen Returning: 1
Last Games: 1 968, ESC won 98-91, 97-95
OUTLOOK: California was expected to be a top contender for the Western
Division laurels this year, but the Vulcans were hard hit by some key losses. 6
of 11 varsity returnees were missing from the Fire God's camp for numerous
reasons. However, Myles Witchey should once again come up with a Cal-
26—
—
ifornia five that will vie for a top spot in the standings. The Californians have
6-3 junior Bernie Floriani who is undoubtedly one of the best forwards in the
PSCAC. He was accorded a First Team Western Division berth and an NAIA
District 18 Honorable Mention award while averaging 16.9 points a game and
12.3 rebounds. Floriani is the Vulcans' only returning letterman. Helping the
front line situation are 6-4 stalwarts, Dave Orange and Jack Taylor. Orange is
a transfer student while Taylor is a sophomore. The greatest asset, as far as
additions go, is 6-2 Ray Green who starred on the Vulcan freshman team.
Green almost single-handedly served the Scot frosh one of their 4 setbacks
last season when he exploded for 32 points on the Highlander hardwoods. He
could be highly instrumental in providing California with a winning season.
FREDONIA STATE COLLEGE
February 1 — at Edinboro
Location: Fredonia, New York
Enrollment: 3,700
Nickname: Blue Devils
Colors: Blue and White
Athletic Director: Pat Damore
Head Coac/?; William Hughes
Sports News: Pat Damore
Gymnasium: Dods Hall
Conferences: SUNYAC, NAIA NCAA,
1967-1968 Record: 6-13
Lettermen Returning: 6
Last Game: 1 968, ESC won 93-84
OUTLOOK: Although the Blue Devils finished play with a dismal 6-13 rec
ord last year, the Fighting Scots had to post a 93-84 come-from-behind vic
tory to climb past the New Yorkers on their home court. Tom Scaglione, a 6-4
junior forward, led the Fredonia assault with a school record of 40 points and
finished the year with a 17.5 points a game average. The lack of a big man will
be the largest obstacle that the Blue Devils will have to overcome. Six lettermen, including 6-3 Joe Williams, 6-2 Greg PrechtI, and 6-4 Basil Estell give
the Devils good overall size and experience. The last time Fredonia topped the
Scots was 12 years ago when the Blue and White posted an 82-76 victory.
INDIANA UNIVERSITY OF PA.

1967-1968 Record: 18-6
Lettermen Returning: 9
Last Games: 1968, ESC won 87-85,
lost 67-69
OUTLOOK: Herm Sledzik's Big Indians could easily be the 1968-69 NAIA
representative to Kansas City. The Indians have 7 returning lettermen from a
team that posted an 18-6 win-loss record along with 2 top newcomers and a
crop of outstanding freshmen. Pacing the Indiana attack will be First Team
NAIA District 18 selection Gary Lupek, a 6-6 forward who averaged 21 points
a game. He was the leading scorer in District 18 and ranked fifth in the re
bounding department with a 13.9 mark. Adding power to the Tribe are transfers
6-2 Dave Smith from Waynesburg College and 6-1 Bill Donnelly from Flor
ida's Miami University. Rejoining Lupek are 3 other of last year's starting five:
6-1 senior Les Shoop, 5-11 junior Jim DeMark and 5-10 junior Mont Mat
tocks. The Tribe has tremendous bench strength with the group of sophomores
who starred as frosh last year. Most impressive is 6-5 center Dave McCullough.
Edinboro and Indiana traded 2-point victories on their home courts last year.

OUTLOOK: It's difficult not to become excited in considering Wolverine
basketball prospects this year with all seven lettermen returning from last
year's team which set a number of all-time records at Grove City. Back to lead
the Grovers will be senior captain Jeff Claypool (6-7) from Lexington, Ohio,
the greatest scorer in Grove City history, who last year was named "Player of
the Year" by both Western Pennsylvania area coaches and the Pittsburgh
Chapter of the United States Basketball Writers Association. Supplementing
Claypool on the court will be his former high school teammate from Lexington
High, John Cochran (6-2) and Jim Ziegler (6-9) from Munhall. Strong to
help the Grove City cause will be Dave Roberts (5-11), Tom Carr (6-0) and
Doug Rohrer (6-6). The Grovers will be another of the highly united indepen
dent cage teams in Western Pennsylvania.
PENNSYLVANIA STATE COLLEGES
ATHLETIC CONFERENCE
The Pennsylvania State Colleges Athletic Conference (PSCAC) was organ
ized in 1951. Its membership originally consisted of the 14 state colleges:
Bloomsburg, California, Cheyney, Clarion, East Stroudsburg, Edinboro, Indi
ana, Kutztown, Lock Haven, Mansfield, Millersville, Shippensburg, Slippery
Rock, and West Chester. In 1966 Indiana no longer was eligible for conference
laurels as it acquired university status.
The conference is divided into a Western Division and an Eastern Division.
Members of the Eastern Division include Bloomsburg, Cheyney, East Strouds
burg, Kutztown, Mansfield, Millersville, Shippensburg, and West Chester,
while Edinboro, California, Clarion, Lock Haven, and Slippery Rock comprise
the Western Division. In basketball, the conference champions of both leagues
face each other at the end of the season to determine the PSCAC champ
ionship.
All 13 state colleges that compete in the PSCAC belong to the NAIA,
while many are also NCAA members.
