SCOTS LOOK TO CONTINUE HOT PACE
Edinboro State's Fighting Scot cagers turned around one of their worse
starts ever last year when they streaked to ten wins in their last 12 games
to complete the season with a 13-9 record. ESC Coach Jim McDonald will
be hoping for a continuation of that hot pace with the return of four regulars
for the 1973-74 hardcourt campaign.
On hand to pace the Scots offensive attack once again is 5-10 sharp
shooter Roy Stauffer who hit the hoop at a 19.5 clip and found time to pile
up 96 assists. The honorable mention All-American (NAIA) winner erased
his own ESC free throw shooting standard when he tossed in 88.2 per cent
of his tries from the charity stripe. The mark was good enough to rank second
place nationally in the NCAA's College Division statistics.
Up front the Scots can count on returnees 6-6 Don Gerdich and 6-8
Sam Vickers to hammer the boards along with 6-7 Ron Beckett.
Newcomer Charlie Hickox, a transfer from West Virginia University, is
expected to nail down one of the starting roles under the hoop, while junior
college products 6-4 James Boyd and 6-5 Dennis Hampton are also held in
high consideration for regular spots. Both averaged over 20 points and 15
rebounds per game in the juco ranks.
McDonald has strength off the boards with Gerdich who pulled down
143 missed shots last year. The powerful junior grabbed rebounding honors
in five of the Scots last six games to clear the glass at a 6.8 rate in 21 ap­
pearances.
Quarterbacking the club will be 6-2 Larry Betar, who steadily improved
through the 1972-73 season. Betar broke into the starting five midway
through the schedule to guide the team to seven straight wins. The Scot
sophomore led the team in assists with 100, claimed the best shooting per­
centage on the squad with a 49.4 mark and finished with an 11.9 points
per game average.
Bolstering the guard ranks are 6-1 senior Paul Stiles, 6-1 junior Bill
Henk and sophomore 6-1 Bill Lentz.
A pair of freshman recruits in 6-0 Tim Smiley and 6-3 Alonzo Craig will
also be taking shots at starting assignments in the back court.
Under McDonald's tutorship for the past ten years, Edinboro State has
never had a losing season and also holds the distinction of never finishing
lower than second place in league play. The Scots winning ways on the
hardwoods should continue in 1973.

WINNING - A McDonald tradition
Winning ways have become a
tradition with Jim McDonaldcoached teams at Edinboro State. In
eleven seasons at the helm, his
Fighting Scot cagers have never ex­
perienced a losing season while
registering a remarkable 141 wins
against only 76 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 1955 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 UPl 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 three sons, Mark (13), Mike
(11) and Matthew (1), reside in Edinboro.

ASSISTANT BASKETBALL COACH
Tony Laterza, who guided the
University of Akron to national bas­
ketball prominence, enters his third
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.

ASHLAND HOLIDAY TOURNAMENT
December 27, 28 — at Ashland, Ohio
December 27th

—

Edinboro vs West Va. State, Ashland vs Kutztown

Edinboro State will tip off the action at Ashlands' Holiday Tournament
when the Scots get a December 27th, 7:00 Yule Tide greeting from WEST
VIRGINIA STATE'S Yellow Jackets. Host Ashland College will follow later the
same night when the Purple Eagles clash with one of ESC's Pennsylvania
Conference mates, Kutztown State College. West Virginia raced to a 21-11
record a year ago and has six returning lettermen on hand for the 1973-74
campaign. Most impressive was the Jackets 16-5 slate that was good enough
to place third in the tough West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.
The Jackets are strong at the guard spots with returnees Alfred Lance (6-0,
So., 14.3 pga) and Ron Calloway (6-3, So., 10 pga) but will look to newcomers
Art Collins (6-7, Fr., ), Paul Michaux (6-6, Fr.) and Dan Lewis (6-9, So.) to
do the work under the boards. Second year coach Curtis Price will be looking
forward to another strong showing in the Jackets' ambitious 26-game
schedule. Host ASHLAND seems to have all the ingredients to produce a
cage powerhouse with talented prospects from the juco ranks and 8returning
lettermen which include All-American guard Bill "The Thrill" Higgins who
scored 26.1 points per game last year. Transfers Mariel Rogers (6-6, Jr.) and
John Mills (6-7, Jr.) provide the scoring and rebounding punch needed under
the hoop with backups John Mongerson (6-7, Fr.) and Rich Steinman (6-7,
Fr.) also on hand. Veteran guards Rich Mosier and Kirk Minteer return as well.
Mosier rewrote the Ashland record in assists last year. Battling for one of the
forward spots is letter winner Roger Remenaric (6-5, Jr.) along with Randy
Emmons (6-4, So.). Emmons is the top returning rebounder with 112 grabs
last year while Remenaric followed closely with 109 swipes. KUTZTOWN
coach Ken Meyer, entering his third year, looks for the Golden Bears to move
up in the Eastern Division of the Pennsylvania Conference and have a shot
at their first winning season in five years. The Bears attack will revolve around
a trio of lettermen in Al Rossignoli (6-2, Jr., F), Frank Yusella (5-10, Jr., G)
and Jim Buss (6-5, Jr., F). Rossignoli hit the net at an 11.8 clip last year and
pulled down 131 rebounds. The big help for the Bears will be the addition
of board men Howard Krouse (6-8, So.) and Jim Johnson (6-6, Fr.)

NCAA

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.

KEEPING THE SCOTS ON THE MOVE...
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 six 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 posi­
tion in Ashtabula, Ohio, for three years. In con­
nection with his duties, he is also the District 18
Publicity Chairman for the National Association of
Intercollegiate Athletics and recently completed a
two-year term as President of the NAIA's Sports
Information Director's Association. Paul, his wife,
Connie, and their children, Paul Jr., Michele, and
Scott make their home in Edinboro.

Bob Klingler

Paul Newman

TEAM TRAINER: Bob Klingler begins his seventh
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.

Defending champion Cheyney should win the Eastern Division title, but
the Wolves may have a tough battle in the PC title game.
Cheyney returns three starters headed by 6-9 forward Vince Ellison,
East Stroudsburg and Bloomsburg, led by 6-8 center John Willis, should
give the Wolves their toughest competition. Millersville may move up.
In the West, Slippery Rock and Edinboro could overtake last season s
champion Clarion, which suffered heavy graduation losses.
Edinboro has a stellar guard in Roy Stauffer and a highly-touted transfer
in 6-7 Charlie Hickox. Slippery Rock returns three starters from the league's
top scoring team. Indiana and Lock Haven should be improved. California
may not be as strong despite the return of guard Augie DiPasquale.

Until recently the chief objec­
tive of the college was the education
and preparation of classroom teach­
ers for the schools of the Common­
wealth. With the implementation of
programs in arts, sciences and
humanities, Edinboro has now be­
come a multi-purpose institution of
higher learning serving the educa­
tional needs of a tri-state area.
The College has experienced a
rapid growth rate in students, fa­
culty and physical plant. Forty
buildings cover the 585-acre campus
which now services more than
7,000 students.
In its university oriented role,
the College makes contributions in
the fields of education, government,
conservation, environmental im­
provement, urban and rural pro­
blems, crime prevention and service
to business and industry. Edinboro
seeks to offer educational programs
which will afford maximum op­
portunities to its potential students
and to meet the educational needs
of its region from a professional
and a cultural stand-point.
With the addition of the liberal
arts degree program in 1962, the
College's curriculum has expanded
to include numerous course selec­
tions. Curricula range from ele­
mentary and secondary education,
special fields in art, library science,
music and special education to
medical technology.

EDINBORO STATE COLLEGE
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 picturesque
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.

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 graduates
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.
Edinboro State College is at the brink of a new era and has taken the
initiative for a new direction among the state colleges of Pennsylvania. The
College plans to offer programs in such diverse fields as international ed­
ucation, business administration and engineering to meets its leadership
responsibilities in the years ahead.
Keeping pace with the College's academic progress has been a building
program which has dramatically changed the physical appearance of the
campus over the past decade. Included among the additions are a nine-acre
lake, an athletic complex, dormitory quadrant and new student services
facilities such as a student union, dining hall and health center. Scheduled
for completion in the near future are an eight-story twin dormitories and a
new library.

1972-73 SCOTS SET TORRID VICTORY PACE
Edinboro State's 1972-73 sports
season proved to be the most success­
ful campaign in Fighting Scot athletic
history as ESC athletes in 12 varsity
sports shattered the school's winning
percentage mark for the fourth straight
year. The Scots produced a final slate
of 92 wins, 42 losses and 4 ties to
claim an all-time high .687 percentage.
Six of Edinboro State's 12 varsity
sports finished among the top 25
schools in the nation while three First
Team All-America awards were claimed
by Scots. In addition to the national
rankings were NAIA district champion­
ships in tennis, track and golf while the
Scot cindermen also registered their
first ever Pa. Conference crown.
Highlighting the individual
awards were Dave Antognoli's First
Team All-America plaques in both
track and cross country along with grappler Tom Herr's NAIA national title
in wrestling. Antognoli, who shared the Scot Senior Athlete of the Year
honors with gridder Jim Romaniszyn, completed his athletic career at ESC
with an unprecedented six First Team All-America citations and an unblem­
ished 52-0 career record in cross country.
