TALENTED VETS MAKE SCOTS A CONTENDER
Impressive winning records have become a trademark at Edinboro State under
Coach Jim McDonald and the Scots' 1974—75 basketball campaign should hold
true to form. McDonald has nine lettermen returning from a club that went
18—6 last year and has already added a crop of talented new. faces who will be
pressing veterans for starting roles.
All-America Honorable Mention winner, Dennis Hampton, will undoubtedly
fight off all the challengers to regain his spot under the boards. The 6-5 forward
averaged 12.3 ppg and 10.3 rebounds enroute to numerous post season honors.
Also back to help under the hoop are double digit scorers James Boyd (6-4,
sr., F) and Charlie Hickox (6-6, sr., C). Boyd clipped the net at a 12.5 pace,
while Hickox was right behind hammering in 11.4 points per game. Hickox
proved equally effective in the rebounding department where he cleared the glass
226 times to average 9.4 grabs per outing.
Veteran backup power is on hand with 6-6, senior forward Don Gerdich, who
found time to haul down 111 rebounds and toss in 81 markers through the
1973—74 varsity schedule. Also available is 6-7 Ron Beckett (jr., F) who has the
needed experience to be a big help under the hoop.
Challenging the veterans is 6-10 junior college transfer Brad Draper, who
comes to the Scots via Mott Junior College in Flint, Michigan.
However, ESC mentor Jim McDonald still feels that his team's primary
weakness is the lack of a real strong man who can dominate play off the boards.
To compensate for this, the Scot mentor is blessed with depth at all positions
and exceptional speed among his 1974—75 hopefuls.
A quartet of letter-winning guards will be joined by four more transfers in
what could prove to be the biggest battle of the season. The list of returnees
includes Larry Betar (6-2, sr.). Bill Lentz (6-2, jr.), Tim Smiley (6-0, so.) and
Alonzo Craig (6-3, so.).
Smiley came on strong late in the season to hammer in 228 points while just
missing the double figure column with his 9.9 points-per-game average.
Betar, Craig and Lentz followed Smiley in the scoring column with respective
7.8, 7.0 and 5.5 points per game averages. Betar claimed the top honors in assists
with 140 while his 20 passes that led to scores against California set a new ESC
mark. Craig proved most valuable in coming off the bench to spark several rallies.
Lentz was equally impressive with late game heroics.
Among the transfers vying for varsity playing time at the guard spots are
Kevin Winch (5-11, so.), Glenn Lett (5-10, so.), Fred Simmons (6-3, so.) and
Don Childs (6-3, jr.).

SUCCESSFUL SEASONS - A McDONALD TRADEMARK
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
experienced a losing season while
registering a remarkable 159 wins
against only 84 losses.
Since taking the reigns at Edin­
boro State in 1962, McDonalcf 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 play­
ed in eighteen post season contests
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

Head Coach — Jim McDonald

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 AllAmerican two years by the UPl and the NAIA for his outstanding performances 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 (14), Mike (12) and
Matthew (2), reside in Edinboro.

ASSISTANT BASKETBALL COACH
Tony Laterza, who guided the
University of Akron to national bas­
ketball prominence, enters his fourth
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 accom­
plishments were four trips to the
NCAA Mideast Regionals where the
Zips captured three tournament
titles. They finished as the NCAA
College
Division runners-up in
1963—64 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 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.

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR
Since Al Hall's appointment as Athletic Director in 1968, Edinboro State has
enjoyed one of the most respected and most successful collegiate athletic programs
in the East. Through his efforts, Edinboro State College has become a focal point
for athletics in northwestern Pennsylvania and has hosted numerous championship
events. Typical of this was the designation of ESC as the site for the 1972 National
YMCA Diving and Swimming Championships, the largest swimming meet in the
world. Under his leadership, 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 numer­
ous sports committees in the Erie area
along with posts in both the ECAC and
Pennsylvania Conference bear out his
dedication to the world of athletics. A
graduate of Baldwin-Wallace College, he
served as Assistant Director of Athletics
at Akron University for two years and
piloted Akron's cross country teams to
championship finishes for 12 seasons. Al,
his wife, Pam, daughter, Beth, and their
ESC Athletic Director — Al Hall
son, Dale, reside in Edinboro.

valuable player . . . Found time to drop in
13.0 points per game while he was busy cleaning
the glass at an 11.1 rate . . . Steadily improving

counted on to help more defensively than offen­
sively . . . Above average inside shooter . . . Never

ESC ATHLETIC AFFILIATIONS
NAIA— Edinboro State has national affiliation with t|ie
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

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.

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 Washington Twp.
TEAM TRAINER: John Furcron is in his second year of helping in the Fighting
Scots' physical education and athletic programs. Last year, Furcron stepped in to
guide Edinboro's soccer team to an 8-3-1 season and the NAIA District 18
championship while Coach George Shimpeno was on sabbatical leave. This year he
will be aiding the Fighting Scot teams as a trainer. A native of Wellington, Ohio, he
holds a B.S. degree from Bowling Green along with a master's and recently
completed doctorate from West Virginia University. Furcron spent nine years
teaching in the Elyria, Ohio, public schools. At Bowling Green he was selected MVP
as a senior halfback on the Falcons' 1958 football team. The new trainer, his wife,
Gloria, and their two children, Angela and John, reside near the ESC campus.
SPORTS INFORMATION DIRECTOR: Paul Newman began his duties seven 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
Intercollegiate Athletics and recently completed a two-year term as President of the
NAIA's Sports Information Directors Association. Paul, his wife, Connie, and their
children, Paul, Jr., Michele and Scott, make their home in Edinboro.

Dan Petchel (F) 1964-65

Frank Smith (F) 1967-68, 1968-69

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.

Cheyhey did not participate in the Pennsylvania Conference championship game
last season for the first time in ten years, but the Wolves should move right back
into the title picture.
Cheyney will be favored for the Eastern Division crown with the return of four
starters including 6-9 Vince Ellison and 6-4 guard Leon Bell and the addition of
highly regarded transfer guard Dana Clark.
Millersville, led by guard Phil Walker, should be a top contender in the East.
Bloomsburg, last year's divisional winner, must rebuild.
In the West, defending conference champion Indiana must replace leading scorer
Randy Allen. The Indians have three starters back, including 6-5 forward John
Guyton. Edinboro has a veteran front line of 6-6 center Charlie Hickox and
forwards Dennis Hampton and Jim Boyd and will challenge.

EDINBORO STATE COLLEGE

PREPARING FOR TOMORROW

From its beginning as a private
academy in 1856, Edinboro State
College has surged to the forefront
as one of the leading educational
institutions in Western Pennsyl­
vania. Located just 15 miles south
of Erie, Pa., the College's setting
offers a contrast of seasons.
Enhanced by the beauty of Edin­
boro 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 acces­
sible from the north and south by
Interstate 79 and east and west by
Interstate 90.
Until recently the chief objective
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
become 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, fac­
ulty and physical plant. Forty
buildings cover the 585-acre cam­
pus which now services more than
7,000 students.
In its university oriented role,
the College makes contributions in
the fields of education, govern­
ment, conservation, environmental
improvement, urban and rural prob­
lems, crime prevention, and service
to business and industry. Edinboro
seeks to offer educational programs
which will afford maximum oppor­
tunities 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

edinboro

STATE COLLEGE

Founded in 1857, it was
established in 1861 as
a State Normal School,
second oldest in the
Commonwealth and first
west of the mountains.
It became a Teachers
College in 1926 and a

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 and special education to
medical technology.
Student activities are designed to develop the personality, poise, self-confidence
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 has undergone innovations and reorganization that have
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 education, business administra­
tion and engineering to meet 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 a new
library and administration building.

SCOTS SHATTER MARK, WIN 3 OF 4 CLASHES
Not even the nation's fast rising inflationary forces can seem to keep pace with
Edinboro State's rapidly rising winning percentage mark in athletics. Fighting Scot
athletes in 12 varsity sports shattered the school's winning percentage mark for the
fifth straight year as they produced 112 wins against only 34 losses and 4 ties to
claim a record breaking .752 percentage for the 1973-74 year.
Highlighting the assault with perfect season cards were Coach Doug Watts' cross
country and track teams. Watts' distance men completed their season unbeaten,
10-0, while running to a third place national finish and claiming both the
Pennsylvania Conference and the NAIA District championships enroute to their
best finish ever. His tracksters went through their dual meet schedule unscathed at
5—0, annexed the Pennsylvania Conference and District crowns.
Hank Mariotti's netmen just missed an unblemished mark with a 10-1 ledger
and kept championship form by winning their first ever Pennsylvania Conference
tennis crown.
Coach Jim McDonald's divot-diggers fired their way to Edinboro's best golf
record in history when they went through the spring with a 16-3 card to register
an impressive .842 percentage.
Hitting an even .800 mark were Vern Vogel's keglers who bowled their way to a
12—3—1 finish.
With the top five Scot varsity sports hitting at an .800 or better clip, another
quintet of ESC varsity teams continued the hot pace with .700 or better season
records. Included in the group were Gus Miller's judo squad, 7-2-0 (.778); Jim
McDonald's cagers, 18—6—0 (.750); Coach Ed Erdos' swimmers, 9-3-0 (.750);
John Furcron s soccer team, 8—3—1 (.727); and Fred Caro's qrapplers 10—4—1
(.714).

South End of Pool

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
4200 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.
