CONTI CONTINUES WINNING TRADITION
Guy Conti stepped into the cage-coaching ranks a
year ago and his efforts in basketball followed the
same pattern of his past endeavors — successful. The
Freeport, Pa., native directed the Fighting Scots to
their best season in history with a 24—5 record
while grabbing the PC's Western crown, the district
championship, three tourney titles and a trip to the
NAIA National Tournament in Kansas City. Flis
team also cracked the record for consecutive victo­
ries with 13 straight successes.
Prior to his basketball tutorship, Conti was the
Scots' head baseball coach before serving as assistant
football coach for four seasons. In his two years as
the Scots' diamond mentor, Conti assembled a
talent-laden team that recorded consecutive recordbreaking seasons, giving Edinboro its best finishes in
the school's baseball history. Fie quickly climbed
the ladder in ESC's football program moving from
Head Coach Guy Conti
freshman coach, then to tutor the Scots' receivers
and finally to direct the ESC backfield as offensive coordinator in his last two campaigns.
During his two years of grooming the offense, Edinboro finished with a very respectable
9—6—3 slate.
A graduate of Clarion, Conti has had outstanding careers both as a player and a coach
in several different sports. The versatile athlete spent a professional baseball stint with the
Flouston Astros organization as a catcher and was an outstanding football player at
Freeport Fligh and Clarion State where he played quarterback.
Conti, his wife, Janet, and children, Kim, Curt, Craig and Kelly, reside in Edinboro.

ASSISTANT COACHES
Both John Furcron and Paul Siegel begin their second year in ESC basketball and are
joined by newcomer Larry Seneta. A Wilmington, Ohio, product, Furcron owns a B.S.
degree from Bowling Green, along with a master's and doctorate from West Virginia
University. He came to Edinboro after teaching 9 years in the Elyria, Ohio, school system
and stepped in to guide ESC's soccer team to their first NAIA district title. He and his
wife, Gloria, and their children, Angela and John, reside in Edinboro.
Paul Siegel, a Clarion graduate,
had an outstanding scholastic
coaching record (111—67) and
came to the Scots from Erie's
McDowell High after the team won
the school's only section and dis­
trict togas. Siegel, his wife, Judy,
along with their three children,
Paul, Pam and Julie, live in Fairview.
Larry Seneta joins the Scot
ranks after a most successful coach­
ing post at Girard High for 9 years.
He had a superb baseball career at
Youngstown State which resulted
in pro contracts with the Detroit
Tigers and Texas Rangers. Seneta
lives in Girard with his wife, Floris,
and children. Shelly, Lori, Larry,
and Stacie.
Assistants: Paul Siegel, John Furcron and Larry Seneta.

"CARDIAC KIDS" - THEY CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN
When Edinboro State coach Guy Conti reflects on his first year as a college mentor, he
finds his debut a tough act to follow. As a matter of fact, the toughest thing facing ESC's
1976—77 cage edition is repeating the winning ways of the past pair of seasons.
The Fighting Scots have piled up an outstanding 46—9 record over the past two
seasons, along with back-to-back trips to the NAIA national finals in Kansas City, Mo.
In his first year at the helm, Conti saw his men post a record-breaking 24-5 ledger,
claim the Pennsylvania Conference Western Division title and the NAIA District 18
championship before bowing out in the second round of the NAIA national playoffs.
Appropriately nicknamed the "Cardiac Kids" because of their numerous close victories
last season, the Scots will be battling to post impressive margins of difference this
campaign. Helping that cause are five of last year's top seven players to counter the
challenges of a tough, 23-game schedule.
Edinboro will once again be able to rely on the quickness and outside shooting of
All-America Honorable Mention guard Tim Smiley who led the Scots' scoring attack with
a 17.5 average. The 6—1 Indiana product tossed in a record-shattering 508 points last year
and currently ranks seventh on the all-time scoring list with 1,148 markers.
Complementing him is Bob Dillard who has been moved to the shooting guard spot,
while Smiley brings the ball down the court as the playmaker. He is undoubtedly one of
the club's top defensive players among the guard ranks which are backed up by the
freshman duo of Mike Franklin and Jeff Patton. Both have had brilliant scholastic careers
and could get plenty of varsity experience in their frosh debuts.
Still on tap is sparkplug Alonzo Craig who hit the hoop at an 11.0 clip last season and
has the ability to break any tight ball game wide open. A "sixth starter," he could provide
the leadership to give a third straight trip to the national tourney.
The men in plaid have undoubtedly one of the District's finest big men in 6-7 Gary
Stanton who is both strong off the boards and accurate around the basket. Stanton pulled
away 217 rebounds in his sophomore stint, while canning 10.6 points per game to round
out a quintet of ESC double digit scorers.
Destined for another starting role is 6-7 Ron Beckett who turned around from a
seldom-used, reserve role to a starting post late in the year. His last second heroics
were instrumental in key season-ending victories.
Talent continues to abound underneath the boards with 6-8 backup center Tom
Craig, 6-4 Jerome Thomas, 6-4 Randy White and 6-6V2 transfer Jesse Harris waiting in
the wings. Any one of the foursome could challenge for a starting berth. Rounding out
the roster as replacements are 6-4 Rick Bell, 6-5 Don Lovett, 6-4 Jim Wimbly and 6-4
Algernon White.
Ron Beckett, Alonzo Craig and Tim Smiley have been tagged tri-captains to lead the
Scots back down the hectic cage campaign trail.

his 74 appearances on the hardwoods.

SHEPHERD INVITATIONAL TOURNAMENT

POINT PARK COLLEGE
January 16 — at Pittsburgh

January 5—6 at Martinsburg, W. Va.

Civic

Arena

The Fighting Scots will bounce the basketball over the semester break at the Shepherd Invitational
Tournament which features Monmouth College from New Jersey, Wheeling College of West Virginia
and the host school, Shepherd. The Scots tip off the tourney in a 9:00 p.m. encounter against
Wheeling.
The pre-tourney favorite is Shepherd, a club that went 33—3, two of those losses going to
nationally ranked Fairmont State, the West Virginia Conference champions. The Rams were lodged in
the runner-up spot of the WVIAC and return five lettermen for the 1976—77 campaign. Most prolific
is returning guard Rodney Sewell, a 6-1 senior who blistered the nets at a 25.0 pace last year.
Monmouth also brings an impressive set of credentials with a 22—5 log and a berth in the NCAA
playoffs a year ago. The Pioneers depend on the inside game of 6-7 Bob Wymbswho netted 16 points
per game and 9.4 rebounds last season and the outside fire power of 6-2 guard Bill Terry, a 16.2 points

Head Coach: Jerry Conboy, 99—78, 7 seasons

per game scorer.
Edinboro's opponent. Wheeling College, also had impressive stats with a 24—11 overall card and a
third place finish in the West Virginia Conference behind Shepherd and Fairmont last year. The
high-flying Cardinals have 6-7 Leroy Wilson underneath the hoop and 6-1 senior Rod Gaddy, the
team's leading scorer, back to haunt opposing cagers.

Top Newcomers: Greg Wilson (G-F, 6-3, Jr., 2C 1.0), Linfoster Lindsey (F-C, 6-6, Sr., 13.0), Lance

Al Hall

AL HALL - ATHLETIC DIRECTOR
Since All Hall's appointment as Athletic Director in 1968, Edinboro State has enjoyed
one of the most successful collegiate athletic programs in the East. Through his efforts,
ESC has become a focal point for athletics in Northwestern Pennsylvania and has hosted
numerous championship events. Typical of this was the designation of Edinboro as the
site for the 1972 National YMCA Diving and Swimming Championships, the largest
swimming meet in the world. Under his leadership, ESC's sports program has vastly
expanded 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 sport 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 son. Dale, reside in Edinboro.

Paul Newman began his duties nine years ago as ESC's first Sports Information
Director and now also serves as Assistant to the President for External Affairs. 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.

BOB KLINGLER - TEAM TRAINER
Giving Fighting Scot athletes the tops in professional medical care and producing
top-notch staffs of student trainers has been the trademark of trainer Bob Klingler who
begins his tenth season at Edinboro State. The 1952 Lock Haven grad ventured to
Hermann School of Physical Therapy in Houston, Texas and became a registered physical
therapist in 1954. He later received 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, July, make their home in Washington Township.

EDINBORO STATE ALL-AMERICANS

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.

Once again,, Cheyney State with virtually its entire squad from last year is favored
to repeat not only ias kings of the East, but as Pennsylvania Conference champions.
too.
Kutztown and Bloomsburg have the veteran squads and experience to be con­
tenders, while Millersville should not be far behind. There is little difference in the rest
of the pack with Mansfield, Shippensburg and East Stroudsburg flooring young clubs in
the throes of rebuilding programs.
Edinboro State, defending PC Western Division champion, is expected to get a stern
challenge from Clarion, along with rugged tests on home courts from the remaining
conference foes as the Scots bid for their third straight loop crown.
Both Clarion and Edinboro have veteran squads back on the floor to be the class of
the West. Lurking in the wings are a veteran-laden Indiana five, a surprising Slippery
Rock quintet, a superbly coached Lock Haven squad and an always dangerous
California roundball edition.

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 CommonEdinboro President - Dr. Chester T. McNerney

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

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 distihguished
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.

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
fourunderwaterviewing 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.
