SCOTS TALENTED BUT INEXPERIENCED
Veteran coach Jirh McDonald returns from a year's sabbatical leave to
greet the youngest team in his past 10 years at Edinboro State.
Although McDonald's youth movement might be a full season or two
away from becoming another Kansas City contender, the Scot cagers are not
short on talent for the 1972-73 schedule.
The Scots should be the strongest under the boards where they have both
experienced veterans and talented newcomers fighting for positions. Rich
Sulka (6-6, Sr.) has the experience edge over all challengers with Don
Gerdich (6-6, So.) and Don Miller (6-5, So.) also on hand after clocking
varsity playing time as freshmen.
Sulka hauled down 165 stray shots last year while averaging 5.6 points
per game and finished as the fifth leading rebounder in the conference.
A quartet of freshmen standouts are also in the battle for starting berths
under the basket. Leading the assault is 6-8 Sam Vickers and 6-7 Ron Beckett
while 6-5 Bob Birner and 6-7 Dale Griffin are also waiting to make their
marks. Vickers' rapid improvement since the beginning of practice in the fall
could win him the starting center spot with Sulka moving to a forward post.
Both Gerdich and Miller are destined to log plenty of playing time
throughout the season after their strategic roles last year.
Most unsettled of all positions is the Scots' starting guard assignments.
A shoo-in for one of the two positions is Roy Stauffer. The 5-10 junior
set a new Edinboro foul shooting record by hitting on 87.1 % of his attempts
last year along with being the team's number three scorer with a 13.7 pointsper-game output. The Emmaus, Pa., ace also led the club in assists with 92.
Altoona's Bernie Jubeck (6-1, Sr.) is the only other letterman at guard
along with Stauffer.
Three familiar faces also in the guard battle include Altoona's Larry
Betar (6-1, So.), Pittsburgh's Bill Henk (6-1, So.) and Bradford's Paul Stiles
(6-2, Jr.). Henk and Stiles started with the Scots two years ago but have been
sidelined for a season due to injuries.
Betar starred for the ESC frosh last year and has made a quick adjustment
to the varsity ranks. He tossed in 235 points for a 12.4 average and still
found time to grab 101 rebounds in his freshman debut.

WINNING - A MCDONALD TRADITION
Winning ways have become a
tradition with Jim McDonaldcoached teams at Edinboro State. In
ten seasons at the helm, his Fighting
Scot cagers have never experienced
a losing season while registering a
remarkable 128 wins against only
59 losses.
Since taking the reigns at Edin­
boro State in 1962, McDonald has
led the Scots to four Western Divi­
sion Pennsylvania Conference
crowns, the PC State Championship
and six appearances in the NAIA
district playoffs. His teams have
played in sixteen post season con­
tests during a ten-year span. The
1965-66 club captured the District
18 toga and earned a trip to the
NAIA national tournament in Kansas
City, Missouri.
McDonald was selected by the
coaches of the eastern seaboard
states to be the Area Eight Coach
of the Year in 1966 and was honored as one of the top ten finalists in the
NAIA's Coach of the Year poll.
A wave of ESC basketball records have fallen by the wayside under
McDonald's management. Some 17 team marks and 10 individual standards
have been revised under his tutelage. Along with the 27 new records, four
Edinboro State cagers have been named All-Americans since 1965.
He posted his best mark as a coach five years ago as his cagers rang up
a regular season record of 17-4 and finished with a 19-5 overall ledger.
His 1967-68 team cracked 10 existing Edinboro State College basketball
records and captured the PSCAC State Championship by defeating annual
powerhouse Cheyney State. The 1967-68 squad ranked as high as eleventh
among the nation's small colleges and finished fifth nationally in rebounding.
Prior to accepting his current position at Edinboro in 1961, McDonald
served as assistant basketball coach at Harborcreek High School in Erie, Pa.
He is a 1965 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 for his outstanding per­
formances on the hardwoods. He 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 an average of 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 Basketball 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 distinction
of being named to the NAIA's All-Tournament Team in 1959 and 1960.
McDonald, his wife, Mary Lou, and their two sons, Mark (12) and Mike
(10) reside in Edinboro.

ASSISTANT BASKETBALL COACH
Tony Laterza, who guided the
University of Akron to national bas­
ketball prominence, enters his sec­
ond year in the Fighting Scot ranks
as assistant cage coach.
One of Ohio's most highly re­
spected coaches, Laterza compiled
a nine year record of 178 wins and
only 59 losses. His teams averaged
nearly 20 wins a season during his
ten year stay at the Buckeye School.
Highlighting his hardcourt ac­
complishments were four trips to
the NCAA, Mideast Regionals where
the Zips captured three tournament
titles. They finished as the NCAA
College Division, runner-up in 196364 and managed a third place finish
to close out the 1965-66 campaign.
He also guided Akron to three
straight Ohio Conference titles while
finishing with second place honors
four other times.
Laterza's coaching know how
is also reflected on the links where
Assistant Coach - Tony Laterza
his golf teams totaled outstanding 101-38-5 mark. In his second season at
the helm, the Zips won their first Ohio Conference crown in golf, shared
the title the following year and then repeated as sole champs in 1961.
Laterza is a graduate of Akron University where he starred in both
basketball and football. He earned a B.S. in education from Akron in 1952
and received his Masters degree from Kent State in 1963.

ESC ATHLETIC AFFILIATIONS
NAIA— Edinboro State has national affiliation with the
National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. The NAIA
was organized in 1940 for the purpose of promoting inter­
est in athletics among colleges of moderate enrollment.
The NAIA encourages a broad program of athletic pursuits
in its member schools and maintains that athletics must be
an integral part of the overall educational process. A total of
17 national championships are sponsored by the NAIA.
NCAA—The National Collegiate Athletic Association is a
voluntary organization of more than 700 institutions and
conferences devoted to the sound administration of inter­
collegiate athletics in all of its phases. The NCAA has re­
sponded to small colleges expanding needs and desires
with a College Division classification. There are about 400
College Division members in the NCAA. CD Champion­
ships are conducted in nine sports which include regional
tourneys in basketball and football.
ECAC — The Eastern College Athletic Conference em­
braces 12 New England and Middle Atlantic states
Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia. The mem­
ber institutions are separated into three different divisions.
The ECAC differs from the majority of the other major
college conferences throughout the country because it is
not a playing conference in which every team within the
group meets all or most of the others in the various sports.
With 211 active members, it is the largest athletic con­
ference in the nation.
Pennsylvania Conference—The Pennsylvania Conference, organized in
1951, has a membership of 14 collegiate institutions. The conference, which is
divided into Western and Eastern Divisions, consists of Bloomsburg, California,
Cheyney,Clarion, East Stroudsburg, Edinboro, Indiana, Kutztown, Lock Haven,
Mansfield, Millersville, Shippensburg, Slippery Rock and West Chester.

BEHIND THE SCENES . . .
ATHLETIC DIRECTOR; Since Al Hall's
appointment as Athletic Director in
1968, Edinboro State has enjoyed one
of the most respected and most suc­
cessful collegiate athletic programs in
the East. Through his efforts ESC has
expanded to twelve varsity sports and
attained new memberships in the
ECAC and NCAA while building a
coaching staff that has compiled the
College's best record in history. Al's
selection to numerous sports com­
mittees in the Erie area along with
posts in both the ECAC and Pennsyl­
vania Conference bear out his dedica­
tion to the world of athletics. A
graduate of Baldwin Wallace College,
Al Hall
he served as Assistant Director of Ath­
letics at Akron University for two years and piloted Akron's cross country
teams to championship finishes for 12 seasons. Al's wife, Pam, daughter,
Beth, and their son. Dale, reside in Edinboro.

/

SPORTS INFORMATION DIRECTOR: Paul New­
man began his duties five years ago as ESC's
first Sports Information Director and now also
serves as Assistant to the President. Paul is a 1964
graduate of Edinboro where he earned both his B.S.
degree and M.Ed. while majoring in English. Prior
to joining the Scots, he held a teaching position in
Ashtabula, Ohio, for three years. In connection
with his duties, he is also the District 18 Publicity
Chairman for the National Association of Inter­
collegiate Athletics and recently completed a twoyear term as President of the NAIA's Sports In­
formation Director's Association. Paul, his wife,
Connie, and their children, Paul, Jr. and Michele,
make their home in Edinboro.

Bob Klingler

Paul Newman

TEAM TRAINER: Bob Klingler begins his sixth
year of giving Fighting Scot athletes the tops in
professional medical care. The 1952 Lock Haven
grad ventured to Hermann School of Physical
Therapy in Houston, Texas and became a reg­
istered physical therapist in 1954. He later re­
ceived his M.S. from Bucknell. Prior to accepting
his ESC post, Klingler taught at Milton Hershey,
a private boys' school in Hershey, Pa., where he
served as the Spartans' head football mentor, head
track coach and assistant basketball coach. Both
his cinder and cage teams never experienced a
losing season, while his grid teams continually
posted successful campaigns in the powerful
Capitol Area Conference. Bob, his wife, Jill, and
daughter, Julie, make their home in Edinboro.

Fred Riley (G) 1971-72

Edinboro State's four All-American winners
have been traditionally prolific scorers for the
Fighting Scots. Three forwards and a guard
comprise the quartet which was groomed by
Jim McDonald for their national honors on the
Edinboro hardwoods.
Dan Petchel ranks as the second all-time
scorer in ESC's cage history with his 1,344
career points while Fred Riley and Frank
Smith hold down the number three and four
spots on the scoring list with their respective
1,279 and 1,225-point outputs. Darryl
Meachem ranks seventh among the all-time
top scorers with his 881 tallies.

In the rebounding department, Meachem
and Petchel are two of the college's top three
career rebounders with 897 and 744, respec­
tively. Meachem pulled down 393 rebounds
for a school record established during the
1965-66 season.
Smith owns two individual scoring records.
His 54-point output against Fredonia in the
1966-67 season earned him the most points
scored in a single game record. The 6-1,
forward compiled the most field goals scored
in a single game record with 21 two-point
markers against Waynesburg in the same
season and 21 against Kenyon in 1969.

A wide-open race is forecast in the Western Division with Clarion and
Indiana both capable of dethroning champion Slippery Rock. Edinboro will
have to operate without two all-conference players, but still should be strong.
California rates as a darkhorse with Lock Haven challenging the leaders.
Defending conference champion Cheyney State may be seriously chal­
lenged in the Eastern Division of the PC by Bloomsburg and Mansfield.
Bloomsburg has 6-8 center Jim Willis on hand, while Mansfield returns four
starters. East Stroudsburg, a contender for the last two years, could drop a
notch, while West Chester moves up in the Eastern Division.

A WINNER FROM ATHLETICS
From its beginnings as a private academy in 1856, Edinboro State
College has surged to the forefront as one of the leading educational institu­
tions in western Pennsylvania. Located just 15 miles south of Erie, Pa., the
college's setting offers a contrast of seasons. Enhanced by the beauty of
Edinboro Lake, the community serves as a resort center during the summer
while numerous nearby ski slopes offer a variety of recreation in the pic­
turesque winter months. The college's location enables it to readily serve
the tri-state area with its proximity to Pittsburgh, Pa. (125 miles), Cleveland,
Ohio (100 miles) and Buffalo, New York (120 miles). Moreover, it is easily
accessible from the north and south by Interstate 79 and east and west by
Interstate 90.

QUALITY LEADERSHIP KEEPS ESC ON THE MOVE

Miller Research Learning Center

Edinboro President — Dr. Chester T. McNerney

In its university oriented role, the College makes contributions in the
fields of education, government, conservation, environmental improvement,
urban and rural problems, crime prevention, and service to business and
industry. Edinboro seeks to offer educational programs which will afford
maximum opportunities to its potential students and to meet the educational
needs of its region from a professional and a cultural standpoint.
With the addition of the liberal arts degree program in 1962, the College's
curriculum has expanded to include numerous course selections. Curricula
range from elementary and secondary education, special fields in art, library
science, music, speech and special education to medical technology.
Student activities are designed to develop the personality, poise, selfconfidence and professional awareness that will fit graduates for significant
participation in American society.
The College stresses friendly relations among students and faculty, as
well as active student participation in decisions affecting them. Quality
education has been an Edinboro tradition for more than a century as gradu­
ates have distinguished themselves in the professions, business and industry.
With the appointment of Dr. Chester T. McNerney as Edinboro State's
President in 1966, the College witnessed the addition of a prominent leader
who is dedicated to the academic life, a tireless advocate of personal involve­
ment in the religious and civic affairs of one's community, and an educator
who visibly believes in and practices total individual professional commitment.
Under Dr. McNerney's leadership Edinboro State has undergone in­
novations and reorganization that has enabled the College to keep in step
with the times and maintain its academic excellence.

ATHLETIC PROGRAM SETS TORRID PACE
While Edinboro State has been flourishing as an educational institution,
the College's athletic program has kept stride with a torrid pace of its own.
The Scots' athletic program has grown to include 12 varsity sports, having
added five new sports within the last four years. Officially listed on the
Fighting Scot register are baseball, basketball, bowling, cross country,
football, golf, judo, soccer, swimming, tennis, track and wrestling.
Scot teams have been busy adding victories to the list of varsity sports
as the Clansmen won 7 out of every 10 contests during last year's athletic
schedule.
Intercollegiate athletics play an important role in the total educational
program 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.
Sox Harrison Stadium, one of two major facilities located in the sports
complex, has a seating capacity for 5,000 spectators and provides com­
petition areas for both the football and track teams. A baseball diamond of
major league specifications is also located just to the west of the stadium.
The McComb Fieldhouse contains three basketball courts, an AAU-sized
swimming pool, a diving tank with one and three meter boards, underwater
sound systems, lighting systems and viewing ports, wrestling room, two
handball courts, a corrective gym, medical suite, a rifle range, two steam
rooms, locker room space for 1,000 students and many additional features to
meet the needs of the Health and Physical Education Department. Seating
capacity of the gym is approximately 4,600 while the natatorium seats
500 spectators.
Four different sets of tennis courts are situated throughout the campus
while 8 bowling lanes are provided in the new student union for intercollegiate
competition. The nearby Culbertson Hills Country Club is the home of the
Scots' golf and cross country teams.

Main Playing Arena

One of the finest athletic facili­
ties in northwestern Pennsylvania
services the Fighting Scots' basket­
ball, wrestling and swimming teams.
The new structure has a seating
capacity in the gymnasium area for
4600 fans while the natatorium
seats 500 spectators. Underwater
sound and lighting systems are
featured in the pool area as well as
four underwater viewing ports. Adja­
cent to the swimming area is a
separate diving tank with one and
three meter diving boards. The
electrically operated bleachers can
be rolled back in a matter of minutes
to expand the available floor space
into three basketball courts for
intramural usage. The athletic com­
plex has already become a favorable
site for both high school basketball
and wrestling championships. A
680-car parking lot is conveniently
located next to the fieldhouse to
accommodate team followers. Ad­
ditional attractions include office
facilities for members of the Health
and Physical Education Department,
locker room space for 1,000 stu­
dents, an equipment room and
two classrooms.
