PLAYER PROFILES
Quarterbacks
BOB BLOOMQUIST: 6-1, 205, Sr., Kane. Bob is
one from a crop of quarterbacks who will be tested
at the field general spot for the ’67 season. He saw
limited action at the quarterback position last year.
HUMBART SANTILLO: 5-10, 185, Soph., Lock-
AL BARBATI: 5-11, 210, Jr.,
shifty, Lou is a hard running back who has great
desire. He is expected to see a lot of action during
this coming season.
Elwood City. Al, having had two
years of experience at Fort
Dodge Jr. College, Fort Dodge,
Iowa, will be pressing hard at
this position. He possesses ex
cellent speed and has the ability
to pick out his receivers quite
well. While at Fort Dodge, Al
won two letters in football.
TOM MACKEY: 5-11, 180, Soph., Dormont. Al
though he was hampered with a late season knee
injury, Tom proved to be an outstanding helmsman
for the freshman football squad. His quick recovery
will make him a contender at the quarterback spot.
CHARLES ROLLICK: 5-11, 170, Soph., Springdale. “Chico” enjoyed an excellent season of spring
ball guiding the Highlander offense. He’s strong in
all departments and a deceptive left-handed passer.
BEN HABERMAN: 5-11, 205,
Jr., Donora. An Eastern Arizona
Junior College transfer, Ben will
be tested at both the quarterback
and fullback slots. He is a pow
erful running back.
TIM LANDER: 5-11, 175, Soph., West Newton.
port, N.Y. The starting left halfback on the fresh
man squad, “Smokey” will make a real run for a
starting spot. His execution is excellent as well as
his speed. He takes pleasure in running through
people.
LOU FALCONI: 5-8, 160, Sr., Farrell. Small but
JOHN GUERRASIO: 5-11, 205, Soph., Stowe. One
of the regular halfbacks on the freshman squad,
John is a powerful ball carrier with untapped poten
tial. He’s strong inside where his size and strength
make him an offensive threat.
JOHN RETORT: 5-11, 178, Soph., New Castle.
Substituting throughout the season at left halfback,
John saw limited action as a freshman ball player.
He has yet to be really tested.
JIM TIRAK: 5-9, 162, Soph., Erie. Not having
much of a chance to display his ability, Jim should
be studied rather closely before the season begins.
JOE BUFFALINO: 5-9, 160, Soph., Erie. Joe was
not a member of the ’66 frosh team, but in early
spring drills he demonstrated his offensive abilities.
He has fine potential in spite of his size.
Fullbacks
BOB GRIEF: 5-11, 205, Sr., Hazelhurst. Bob will
be the probable starting fullback in the Highlander
backfield. The coaches believe that Bob could be
the best in the conference. He blossomed during
early drills as a hardnosed back who has good moves
and is hard to bring down.
EUGENE BILLER: 6-0, 190,
Soph., New Castle. Described as
the “spark plug” of the frosh
team. Gene was the top offens
ive player during the ’66 season.
His quickness and strength make
him a constant scoring threat.
Gene’s love for the game and
enthusiasm are assets that will
probably win him a starting role
in the line-up.
Tim missed a year at Edinboro as he served with
the United States Army. He’ll be viewed in early
drills.
Offensive Halfbacks
JOHN MIKOVICH: 5-9, 195,
Jr., Girard. In his sophomore
year, John was the team’s leadind rusher. He returns to action
this year after sitting out last
season and should be one of the
best halfbacks in the conference.
Not only does he have good size,
but he is also blessed with ex
cellent speed. His hard running
has already earned the respect of
opposing defensive gridders.
STEVE HAMM: 6-1, 205, Soph., Williamsport. Be
cause of his speed and ability to hit well, Steve
gained freshman grid honors as both a fullback and
a defensive linebacker. He is the biggest member
of the fullback contingent. He could capture a start
ing linebacker’s position this year.
—14—
—IS—
Offensive Ends
BOB STOKES: 5-8, 193, Soph., Bethel Park. Bob’s
freshman coach describes him as one of the “top
interior linemen.” He hits hard and his tackles stick.
Bob has all the necessary tools to be a great defens
ive guard.
JIM SULLIVAN: 6-2, 180, Soph., Lockport, N.Y.
Used mainly as a split end, Jim has a knack of get
ting himself open and an excellent pair of hands.
Once he gets the ball, he’s a hard man to bring down.
DAN CLEVER: 5-9, 180, Jr., Apollo. Quick, but
TOM MARTIN: 6-1, 185, Sr., Roselle Park, N.J.
hampered by his size, Dan will probably be used on
specialty teams because of his speed. His greatest
asset is his consistency.
Tom is effective at both the tight and split end posi
tions. One of his strongest points is his blocking
ability. Tom should play an important role in help
ing the offense move on the sweeps.
Defensive Tackles
STEVE NISHNIK: 6-3, 280, Sr., Waterford. Few,
if any, backs will run through Edinboro’s “tower
of power,” Steve Nishnik. Steve is one of the alltime greats in the Highlander’s defensive line. He
has won first team honors the past two seasons on
the PSCAC all-state squad.
r
f
DAN BISSONTZ: 6-1, 216, Sr., Pittsburgh. Look
for Dan to be the leader of the offensive line charge.
He starts quickly and has the power to force quick
openings in the line. Dan has won two varsity let
ters at this spot for the Highlanders.
PAUL BELOSH: 6-0, 200, Jr.,
Coraopolis. Another recent addi
tion to Edinboro, Paul is a trans
fer from Fort Dodge Junior Col
lege, Fort Dodge, Iowa, where he
has lettered twice at the guard
position. The coaches are ex
pecting Paul to capture a start
ing guard berth.
BOB HOOVER: 6-2, 190, Soph., New Castle. Bob
will be fighting for a starting tackle berth on the
varsity team. Even though he lacks experience, Bob
moves well and should have an outstanding year.
Offensive Tackles
JOHN BALLARD: 6-3, 227, Jr., Pittsburgh. John
DAN McCUE: 5-11, 209, Sr.,
West Mifflin. Dan is a hard
working ball player who gives
100% all the time. Displaying
speed and explosiveness, he has
improved immensely. Dan’s “Iwill-not-be-denied” attitude tags
him a contender on the offensive
line.
earned a letter last season as a first string tackle.
John has the size and is gaining the quickness. He
will be one of the keys in the success of the Edinboro offense.
DAVE BRANDED: 6-2, 230, Sr., Fairview. Two
years ago, Dave helped pave the way to the High
lander’s best grid season. Unfortunately, he missed
action last season. In spring practice, Dave demon
strated tremendous speed as an offensive tackle. He
could see action both ways because of his ability to
penetrate the offensive line.
CYRIL FURLAN: 5-11, 180, Sr., West Middlesex.
Cyril is another fast starter who has a lot of desire.
His ability will land him a place on one of the
specialty teams.
LYNN CAMPBELL: 6-2, 200, Soph., Edinboro. Up
from the freshman ranks, Lynn is a big man with
a fine attitude toward the game. Due to the presence
of experienced returnees at the tackle positions.
Lynn will have a real fight on his hands to gain a
place in the line-up. He should meet the challenge.
Offensive Guards
1
GARY BOZIGAR: 5-10, 187, Jr., Baden. Although
Gary has a limited amount of experience, he had a
very good spring. He is willing to learn and could
be a surprise.
Defensive Guards
DENNY DUFFY: 5-9, 179, Soph., West Mifflin.
DAVE PASCALE: 6-0, 205, Jr., Bradford. Dave,
Denny has seen only a limited amount of work as
a freshman. He will receive early season testing,
another newcomer to the Highlander gridiron, is a
transfer from Penn State’s Behrend Center. He was
named to the Erie Diocesan All-League Team in
high school and lettered in soccer at Behrend. He
is fast and aggressive.

—
BOB MARTIN: 6-0, 185, Soph., Erie. Bob didn’t
come out for football as a freshman, but made the
coaches take notice in spring ball. He could be in
the scrap for a linebacker’s spot.

1967 HIGHLANDER
Centers
JAN SWETIC; 5-11, 203, Jr.,
McKeesport. Jan needs more ex
perience, but he is a hard block
ing offensive center. He’s a fiery
competitor who has a good shot
at the starting center slot.
ED QUINN: 6-0, 190, Soph., McKees Rocks. The
regular freshman center, Ed can go both ways. Plis
versatility makes him a valuable team man. Ed will
battle for the starting assignment.
BILL BLANKETTE: 6-1, 190.
5lr
'
Soph., Irwin. Bill is a scrapper.
lacks experience, but his desire and potential make him a
real asset to the team.
Kicking Specialists
PAT GARBOS: 6-0, 178, Soph.,
West Deer. Pat will be the main
punter this year. He gets off
booming kicks and should im
prove his distance this season.
DENNIS MIKETA: 5-10, 175, Soph., Baden. Den
nis didn’t come out for football during his freshman
year but demonstrated his punting ability in spring
ball. He will add depth to the kicking department.

REVIEW OF 1966
Hard hit by the loss of many key personnel through
academic ineligibilities and injuries, the 1966 Edinboro State
College Highlander football team posted a disappointing
1-6-1 record.
The Indiana “Big Indians” spoiled the Highlander
Homecoming festivities by shutting out Edinboro 14-0.
The Highlander offense could not maneuver and the defense
was extremely overworked. The Highlanders’ next oppon
ent was highly rated Clarion State. During homecoming
celebration at Clarion, the ESC chargers of Bill Cutcher
didn’t upset the festivities for the Clarion Golden Eagles
as they suffered their third defeat of the season, 42-7.
The Bald Eagles from Lock Haven invaded Edinboro
Oct. 22 and brought along with them one of the league’s
finest running backs in Jim Blacksmith and a scramblingtype quarterback in Jim Stanley. The Highlanders looked
as though they might register their first win of the year
as they went into the dressing room leading 14-7 at half
time. The Highlander touchdowns came on passes from
Mike Malone to end, Ike Battles, and halfback, John Fer
raro. It was not to be the Highlanders’ day to win as Jim
Blacksmith scampered 29 yards with a touchdown and Jim
Miller booted a 32-yard goal and Edinboro went down to
their fourth defeat 17-14.
The Shippensburg Red Raiders kept the Highlanders
on the short end of the score for another week by handing
the men of Cutcher a 42-7 drubbing on the strength of the
quarterback Steve Bumgarner and ends John Monsell and
Gene McClay.
After four straight losses the “E” men traveled to
Geneva College in Beaver Falls, Pa., for the battle of the
defeated. Wtih 56 minutes and 22 seconds gone in the game
it looked as if the game would end the same way it had
begun 0-0. But with 3.38 left in the game Rich Riffle dropped
back to receive a Geneva punt on his own 43-yard line and
carried the pigskin 57 yards to paydirt. With the touchdown
came Edinboro’s initial victory of the season 7-0.
The Highlanders ertded the season against the Vulcans
of California State. The Vulcans entered the game with a
3-5 record, but they played like the reverse as they handed
the “E” men their sixth and final loss of the 1966 grid
campaign by the lopsided score of 35-7.
Coach Bill Cutcher is hoping for new and better things
from Edinboro State College football in the 1967 season.
With a good crop of freshmen coming up and considerable
hard work, the Highlanders hope to improve immeasurably
on last year’s record to establish Edinboro as a respected
football college.

The O pposition
Under the direction of their new head football coach
Bill Cutcher, the Highlanders opened the season on a
miserable note by dropping a humiliating 68-0 defeat at the
hands of Baldwin-Wallace. After healing their bruises, the
Highlanders traveled to Slippery Rock State College for
their first PSCAC game. In the game against the Rockets,

ALL-TIME FOOTBALL SCORES
Edinboro’s intercollegiate football history began in 1926
when Edinboro became a four-year degree granting insti
tution and for the first time played a complete intercollegiate
schedule against other four-year degree granting institutions.
Prior to the 1926 season Edinboro was a state normal
school and did not play a complete intercollegiate schedule.
Therefore, any records prior to that season should not be
considered as part of the intercollegiate football history of
Edinboro State College.

PLAYER PROFILES
Quarterbacks
BOB BLOOMQUIST: 6-1, 205, Sr., Kane. Bob is
one from a crop of quarterbacks who will be tested
at the field general spot for the ’67 season. He saw
limited action at the quarterback position last year.
HUMBART SANTILLO: 5-10, 185, Soph., Lock-
AL BARBATI: 5-11, 210, Jr.,
shifty, Lou is a hard running back who has great
desire. He is expected to see a lot of action during
this coming season.
Elwood City. Al, having had two
years of experience at Fort
Dodge Jr. College, Fort Dodge,
Iowa, will be pressing hard at
this position. He possesses ex
cellent speed and has the ability
to pick out his receivers quite
well. While at Fort Dodge, Al
won two letters in football.
TOM MACKEY: 5-11, 180, Soph., Dormont. Al
though he was hampered with a late season knee
injury, Tom proved to be an outstanding helmsman
for the freshman football squad. His quick recovery
will make him a contender at the quarterback spot.
CHARLES ROLLICK: 5-11, 170, Soph., Springdale. “Chico” enjoyed an excellent season of spring
ball guiding the Highlander offense. He’s strong in
all departments and a deceptive left-handed passer.
BEN HABERMAN: 5-11, 205,
Jr., Donora. An Eastern Arizona
Junior College transfer, Ben will
be tested at both the quarterback
and fullback slots. He is a pow
erful running back.
TIM LANDER: 5-11, 175, Soph., West Newton.
port, N.Y. The starting left halfback on the fresh
man squad, “Smokey” will make a real run for a
starting spot. His execution is excellent as well as
his speed. He takes pleasure in running through
people.
LOU FALCONI: 5-8, 160, Sr., Farrell. Small but
JOHN GUERRASIO: 5-11, 205, Soph., Stowe. One
of the regular halfbacks on the freshman squad,
John is a powerful ball carrier with untapped poten
tial. He’s strong inside where his size and strength
make him an offensive threat.
JOHN RETORT: 5-11, 178, Soph., New Castle.
Substituting throughout the season at left halfback,
John saw limited action as a freshman ball player.
He has yet to be really tested.
JIM TIRAK: 5-9, 162, Soph., Erie. Not having
much of a chance to display his ability, Jim should
be studied rather closely before the season begins.
JOE BUFFALINO: 5-9, 160, Soph., Erie. Joe was
not a member of the ’66 frosh team, but in early
spring drills he demonstrated his offensive abilities.
He has fine potential in spite of his size.
Fullbacks
BOB GRIEF: 5-11, 205, Sr., Hazelhurst. Bob will
be the probable starting fullback in the Highlander
backfield. The coaches believe that Bob could be
the best in the conference. He blossomed during
early drills as a hardnosed back who has good moves
and is hard to bring down.
EUGENE BILLER: 6-0, 190,
Soph., New Castle. Described as
the “spark plug” of the frosh
team. Gene was the top offens
ive player during the ’66 season.
His quickness and strength make
him a constant scoring threat.
Gene’s love for the game and
enthusiasm are assets that will
probably win him a starting role
in the line-up.
Tim missed a year at Edinboro as he served with
the United States Army. He’ll be viewed in early
drills.
Offensive Halfbacks
JOHN MIKOVICH: 5-9, 195,
Jr., Girard. In his sophomore
year, John was the team’s leadind rusher. He returns to action
this year after sitting out last
season and should be one of the
best halfbacks in the conference.
Not only does he have good size,
but he is also blessed with ex
cellent speed. His hard running
has already earned the respect of
opposing defensive gridders.
STEVE HAMM: 6-1, 205, Soph., Williamsport. Be
cause of his speed and ability to hit well, Steve
gained freshman grid honors as both a fullback and
a defensive linebacker. He is the biggest member
of the fullback contingent. He could capture a start
ing linebacker’s position this year.
—14—
—IS—
Offensive Ends
BOB STOKES: 5-8, 193, Soph., Bethel Park. Bob’s
freshman coach describes him as one of the “top
interior linemen.” He hits hard and his tackles stick.
Bob has all the necessary tools to be a great defens
ive guard.
JIM SULLIVAN: 6-2, 180, Soph., Lockport, N.Y.
Used mainly as a split end, Jim has a knack of get
ting himself open and an excellent pair of hands.
Once he gets the ball, he’s a hard man to bring down.
DAN CLEVER: 5-9, 180, Jr., Apollo. Quick, but
TOM MARTIN: 6-1, 185, Sr., Roselle Park, N.J.
hampered by his size, Dan will probably be used on
specialty teams because of his speed. His greatest
asset is his consistency.
Tom is effective at both the tight and split end posi
tions. One of his strongest points is his blocking
ability. Tom should play an important role in help
ing the offense move on the sweeps.
Defensive Tackles
STEVE NISHNIK: 6-3, 280, Sr., Waterford. Few,
if any, backs will run through Edinboro’s “tower
of power,” Steve Nishnik. Steve is one of the alltime greats in the Highlander’s defensive line. He
has won first team honors the past two seasons on
the PSCAC all-state squad.
r
f
DAN BISSONTZ: 6-1, 216, Sr., Pittsburgh. Look
for Dan to be the leader of the offensive line charge.
He starts quickly and has the power to force quick
openings in the line. Dan has won two varsity let
ters at this spot for the Highlanders.
PAUL BELOSH: 6-0, 200, Jr.,
Coraopolis. Another recent addi
tion to Edinboro, Paul is a trans
fer from Fort Dodge Junior Col
lege, Fort Dodge, Iowa, where he
has lettered twice at the guard
position. The coaches are ex
pecting Paul to capture a start
ing guard berth.
BOB HOOVER: 6-2, 190, Soph., New Castle. Bob
will be fighting for a starting tackle berth on the
varsity team. Even though he lacks experience, Bob
moves well and should have an outstanding year.
Offensive Tackles
JOHN BALLARD: 6-3, 227, Jr., Pittsburgh. John
DAN McCUE: 5-11, 209, Sr.,
West Mifflin. Dan is a hard
working ball player who gives
100% all the time. Displaying
speed and explosiveness, he has
improved immensely. Dan’s “Iwill-not-be-denied” attitude tags
him a contender on the offensive
line.
earned a letter last season as a first string tackle.
John has the size and is gaining the quickness. He
will be one of the keys in the success of the Edinboro offense.
DAVE BRANDED: 6-2, 230, Sr., Fairview. Two
years ago, Dave helped pave the way to the High
lander’s best grid season. Unfortunately, he missed
action last season. In spring practice, Dave demon
strated tremendous speed as an offensive tackle. He
could see action both ways because of his ability to
penetrate the offensive line.
CYRIL FURLAN: 5-11, 180, Sr., West Middlesex.
Cyril is another fast starter who has a lot of desire.
His ability will land him a place on one of the
specialty teams.
LYNN CAMPBELL: 6-2, 200, Soph., Edinboro. Up
from the freshman ranks, Lynn is a big man with
a fine attitude toward the game. Due to the presence
of experienced returnees at the tackle positions.
Lynn will have a real fight on his hands to gain a
place in the line-up. He should meet the challenge.
Offensive Guards
1
GARY BOZIGAR: 5-10, 187, Jr., Baden. Although
Gary has a limited amount of experience, he had a
very good spring. He is willing to learn and could
be a surprise.
Defensive Guards
DENNY DUFFY: 5-9, 179, Soph., West Mifflin.
DAVE PASCALE: 6-0, 205, Jr., Bradford. Dave,
Denny has seen only a limited amount of work as

another newcomer to the Highlander gridiron, is a
transfer from Penn State’s Behrend Center. He was
named to the Erie Diocesan All-League Team in

is fast and aggressive.

BOB MARTIN: 6-0, 185, Soph., Erie. Bob didn’t
come out for football as a freshman, but made the
coaches take notice in spring ball. He could be in
the scrap for a linebacker’s spot.

1967 HIGHLANDER
Centers
JAN SWETIC; 5-11, 203, Jr.,

ED QUINN: 6-0, 190, Soph., McKees Rocks. The
regular freshman center, Ed can go both ways. Plis

Soph., Irwin. Bill is a scrapper.
lacks experience, but his desire and potential make him a
real asset to the team.
Kicking Specialists
PAT GARBOS: 6-0, 178, Soph.,
West Deer. Pat will be the main
punter this year. He gets off
booming kicks and should im
prove his distance this season.

REVIEW OF 1966
Hard hit by the loss of many key personnel through
academic ineligibilities and injuries, the 1966 Edinboro State
College Highlander football team posted a disappointing
1-6-1 record.
The Indiana “Big Indians” spoiled the Highlander
Homecoming festivities by shutting out Edinboro 14-0.
The Highlander offense could not maneuver and the defense
was extremely overworked. The Highlanders’ next oppon
ent was highly rated Clarion State. During homecoming
celebration at Clarion, the ESC chargers of Bill Cutcher
didn’t upset the festivities for the Clarion Golden Eagles
as they suffered their third defeat of the season, 42-7.
The Bald Eagles from Lock Haven invaded Edinboro
Oct. 22 and brought along with them one of the league’s
finest running backs in Jim Blacksmith and a scramblingtype quarterback in Jim Stanley. The Highlanders looked
as though they might register their first win of the year
as they went into the dressing room leading 14-7 at half
time. The Highlander touchdowns came on passes from
Mike Malone to end, Ike Battles, and halfback, John Fer
raro. It was not to be the Highlanders’ day to win as Jim
Blacksmith scampered 29 yards with a touchdown and Jim
Miller booted a 32-yard goal and Edinboro went down to
their fourth defeat 17-14.
The Shippensburg Red Raiders kept the Highlanders
on the short end of the score for another week by handing
the men of Cutcher a 42-7 drubbing on the strength of the
quarterback Steve Bumgarner and ends John Monsell and
Gene McClay.
After four straight losses the “E” men traveled to
Geneva College in Beaver Falls, Pa., for the battle of the
defeated. Wtih 56 minutes and 22 seconds gone in the game
it looked as if the game would end the same way it had
begun 0-0. But with 3.38 left in the game Rich Riffle dropped
back to receive a Geneva punt on his own 43-yard line and
carried the pigskin 57 yards to paydirt. With the touchdown
came Edinboro’s initial victory of the season 7-0.
The Highlanders ertded the season against the Vulcans
of California State. The Vulcans entered the game with a
3-5 record, but they played like the reverse as they handed
the “E” men their sixth and final loss of the 1966 grid
campaign by the lopsided score of 35-7.
Coach Bill Cutcher is hoping for new and better things
from Edinboro State College football in the 1967 season.
With a good crop of freshmen coming up and considerable
hard work, the Highlanders hope to improve immeasurably
on last year’s record to establish Edinboro as a respected
football college.

The O pposition
Under the direction of their new head football coach
Bill Cutcher, the Highlanders opened the season on a
miserable note by dropping a humiliating 68-0 defeat at the
hands of Baldwin-Wallace. After healing their bruises, the
Highlanders traveled to Slippery Rock State College for
their first PSCAC game. In the game against the Rockets,
the Highlander defense came on strong, but the offense
remained in low gear and the Highlanders settled for a
7-7 tie.

ALL-TIME FOOTBALL SCORES
Edinboro’s intercollegiate football history began in 1926
when Edinboro became a four-year degree granting insti
tution and for the first time played a complete intercollegiate
schedule against other four-year degree granting institutions.
Prior to the 1926 season Edinboro was a state normal
school and did not play a complete intercollegiate schedule.
Therefore, any records prior to that season should not be
considered as part of the intercollegiate football history of
Edinboro State College.
