EDINBORO UNIVERSITY
After 125 years of service to the tri-state area, Edin-
educational needs of its region from both a professional
and cultural standpoint, Edinboro now makes contributions
in the fields of education, government, environmental
improvement, urban and rural problems, crime prevention,
and service to business and industry. Recent program
developments include those in the high-demand areas of
allied health, business administration, communication,
computer technology, nursing, and various pre-profes
sional offerings such as law, dentistry, medicine, pharmacy
and veterinary science. Numerous student internships
provide additional examples of the University's efforts to
create a close working relationship with the people it
serves while, at the same time, offering students intel
lectual and career opportunities.
Edinboro has initiated the University Honors Program
to provide challenging and enriched learning experiences
for academically gifted students. Undergraduate students
are encouraged to strive for academic excellence both in
their major fields and in other disciplines. Honors students
pursue studies that are greater in depth and scope than
those required of other undergraduates.
boro experienced its most significant change in history on
July 1, 1983, when the College became Edinboro Univer
sity of Pennsylvania. Founded as a private academy in
1857, Edinboro University has continued its surge to the
forefront as one of the leading educational institutions in
western Pennsylvania. Situated on a sprawling 585-acre
campus in the scenic resort community of Edinboro, the
University is within 100 miles of the educational and
cultural centers of Buffalo, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh. It is
just 15 miles south of Erie, the third largest city in
Pennsylvania, and easily accessible from all directions by
interstates 79, 80 and 90.
Edinboro has the distinction of being the second
normal school established in Pennsylvania and the 12th in
the United States. It has grown to more than forty buildings
including the 350,000-volume Baron-Forness Library, a
modern seven-story structure which serves as a focal point
for the spacious campus. Nearly 6,000 students repre
senting almost every county in the Commonwealth, as well
as numerous states and foreign countries attend Edinboro.
Its tradition of educational service and research is matched
by a distinguished faculty, more than two-thirds of whom
have earned doctoral degrees.
The University now offers more than 100 under
graduate, graduate, and associate degree programs, a
diversity unmatched by any other college or university in
northwestern Pennsylvania. While seeking to meet the

GOLDEN EAGLE OUTLOOK
The defending Pennsylvania Conference champions
feature four returning All-Americans in tailback Elton
Brown, wide receiver Terry McFetridge, middle guard
Kevin Ewing, and defensive end Jon Haslett to lead the way
for second-year coach Gene Sobolewski. The Eagles can
strike through the air with junior quarterback Pat Carbol
who totaled 1,688 yards in the passing lanes with 14 TD
strikes to his credit. On the receiving end of most Carbol
pitches was Terry McFetridge, the recipient of 50 aerials for
945 yards and 11 tallies. Brown, an AP First Team pick,
should give the Golden Ones all the firepower they need on
the ground after churning out 1,2M yards and 11 TD's as
the conference s leading rushw a year ago. Comple
menting him in the potent Clarion offense is All-PC West
tailback Geoff Alexander. Ewing, with his team leading 139
tackles and Haslett, who contributed 99 hits and 17 sacks,
form the nucleus of another stubborn Eagle defense.

Edinboro University will strive to maintain runnerup honors in the PC's Western Division race today
when the 5-1 Scots host Clarion, last year's Penn
sylvania Conference champions. The Scots re
bounded for their first ever win over East Strouds
burg with a 40-20 scalping of the Warriors after
being ambushed at Indiana the previous Saturday.
Clarion, ranked sixth in the nation two weeks
ago, is striving to regroup following back-to-back
league losses at the hands of Slippery Rock and
Indiana, now the division leader with a perfect 3-0
mark. Coach Gene Sobolewski's Golden Eagles are
4-2 overall and carry a 2-2 slate in divisional play.
"Clarion is one of those conference schools
located very close to us which just makes for a
natural rivalry," explained 'Boro boss Denny Creehan. Last year we upset them when they were
undefeated and ranked third nationally. They'll
remember that and would like to return the favor by
spoiling our homecoming," added Creehan.
The Golden Eagles balanced offensive attack is
spearheaded on the ground by All-American tailback
Elton Brown, who is averaging almost 90 yards per
game, and in the air by quarterback Pat Carbol, who
has tossed for 936 yards and eight TD's. Brown was
the conference's leading rusher a year ago and teams
with Geoff Alexander, the Golden Ones' second best
runner with a 50 yards per game output.
Carbol's favorite target, Terry McFetridge, has
been sidelined by nagging injuries and will most
likely remain out of action against the Scots. He
caught 50 passes for 945 yards last fall and has been
replaced by Bob Green, the current owner of 27
receptions to total an impressive 588 yards and three
scores.
The Golden Eagle defense looks to All-American
mention winner Kevin Ewing at middle guard who
heads the tackle charts via 79 hits with his next stop
notching the 400th of his career.
Edinboro got its offense back in high gear with
the win over East Stroudsburg and the Scots now
score at a 31.7 rate behind their 421 yards per game
output.
Senior quarterback Blair Hrovat, who has passed
for 4,520 career yards, has hooked up on 62 of 124
tosses for 934 yards and 15 touchdowns in six
games. His present total includes 43 scoring tosses
during his stint with the Scots, just two shy of the
conference record.
Hrovat usually looks for the threesome of half
backs Bob Klenk (18 receptions, 168 yards), split end
Erie Bosley (16 receptions, 372 yards) and halfback
Damon Chambers (13 receptions, 189 yards). On the
ground where the Scots have chewed up real estate
at a 260-yard pace per outing, Edinboro's top turf
fearers out of the Wing-T attack are fullback Ray
Rhodes (414 yards). Chambers (400 yards), and
Ray Rhodes
Ray Bracy
Sean Henderson
Hrovat (213 yards) who rely on blocking halfback
Mitchell Kelly to pave the way.
Sophomore placekicker Jim Trueman continues
to topple EUP records and leads the team in scoring
with 40 points. His61 PAT points surpassed the mark
of 57 while his string of 27 straight challenge the
existing standard of 29 consecutive PAT boots.
Edinboro's top two hopefuls for conference
honors as defensive standouts, linebacker Willie
Chealey and tackle Rick Jordan, were sidelined last
week. Both are expected to be ready for the Clarion
fray. End John Brenneman is the Scots top tackier
with 38 stops followed by Chealey (36), strong safety
Matt Robinson (34), linebacker Stan Tomajko (31),
and middle guard Sean Henderson (26). Ray Bracy's
five interceptions and Martelle Betters' four aerial
thefts headline a secondary that has picked off 15
passes.

OFFENSE POINT POTENT AGAIN

290 PLUM STREET • EDINBORO, PA • 734-4600
-OPEN-
SUNDAY-THURSDAY 6 a.m. to Midnight
Cdinboro University hopes to maintain its "offensive"
reputation on the football field in 1984 as Coach Denny
Creehan's Fighting Scots strive to continue the pace which
made them one of the most explosive grid squads in the
nation. The Scots, who return 13 starters and 30 lettermen,
finished second nationally in offense among the NCAA's
Division II competitors last year after averaging a record
shattering 41.2 points and 461 yards per game. Enroute to
an 8-2 season, Edinboro climbed to eighth in the polls at
one point and registered 21 new school marks while tying 3
others.
"If it's the skill people who make the offense go, then
we should have productive results," predicted Creehan
whose clubs have been winners in 20 of their last 24
outings. "But if it's the interior line that makes it go, then
we might have some question marks," cautioned the sixthyear Boro mentor.
"As far as the defense is concerned, we'll be solid at all
11 positions if we get the same kind of play out of our ends
that we did last year," Creehan continued. "Tom Herman
(defensive coordinator) has always managed to develop a
defensive unit that's traditionally very tough and we're
counting on him to give us another aggressive, but
disciplined bunch of players," he added.
"You have to have a lot of talent and some luck to win
in our conference anymore," Creehan offered. "It has
become a real meat grinder. Giving anyone a decided edge
is difficult but Clarion has 17 starters back and, on paper,
Indiana has had the best two recruiting years in a row," the
Scot coach indicated.
Giving Edinboro the inside track to be point potent
again is one of the country's most accurate passers in
senior quarterback Blair Hrovat (Northfield, OH). The
talented field general directed a high-powered wing-T
offense that netted 4,611 yards while accounting for 10
new records that included career plays (686), season
passing attempts (181), season total offense (1,938),
career total offense (4,244), season completions (99), game
completions (18), career touchdown passes (35), season
touchdown passes (19), career passing (3,586), and game
touchdown passes (4). Hrovat, who now owns 14
Edinboro grid records, finished second nationally (NCAA II)
in passing efficiency last year by connecting on 99 of 181
attempts for a sparkling 54.7 percentage.
"Blair deserves All-America recognition if he con
tinues his pace," stated Creehan. "He's already the top
passer in our school's history and this year he should finish
among the all-time Conference leaders," the Scot coach
projected.
Waiting to make his mark at the quarterback slot is
talented sophomore Scott Dodds (Beaver, PA) who,
Creehan concedes, would probably be a starter playing for
anyone else. "We will definitely play Scott because he's
that good and deserving of the chance," revealed Creehan
after electing to redshirt the promising signal caller last fall.
Augmenting Hrovat's aerial attack is a relentless
ground game spearheaded by halfbacks Bob Klenk (Pitts
burgh, PA) and Damon Chambers (Willingboro, NJ), who
churned out more than 500 yards each last year. Klenk
threaded his way for 517 yards, led the Pennsylvania
Conference in scoring with 76 points and was the sixth top
scorer in the nation while Chambers sped for 507 yards and
ranked third in the team's scoring parade with 8 touch
downs.
Center Buddy Carroll and tackle Rick Rosenburg, a
Steeler signee, have graduated leaving Dorn Grande (Pitts
burgh, PA), a 6-0, 250-pound left guard, the heir apparent
to their leadership roles. Joining him are tackles Mark
Wallace (6-3, 225, Uniontown, PA) and Jim Ritt (6-4, 255,
Chesterland, OH) who bring game experience up front with
right guard Scott Weinhold (6-4, 240, Pittsburgh, PA). The
early nod at center goes to Mark Merritt (5-11, 245,
Industry, PA), but Dave Higham (6-2, 240, Hubbard, OH) is
pushing for a full-time job. Tackle Jim Britt (6-4, 260,
Girard, OH) in addition to guards Frank Lucca (6-3, 240,
Mentor, OH), and Dave Nye (6-0, 225, Windsor, OH) are all
challenging for regular duty.
"The only other variable we have to figure on
offensively is the period of adjustment which is inevitable
in a coaching change," said Creehan. The Scot mentor was
referring to the recent addition of Jerry Gallagher as the
team's offensive coordinator after John D'Ottavio accepted
a post with the USFL's New Jersey Generals. Gallagher,
however, is a D'Ottavio disciple and also a well-schooled
enthusiast of the wing-T philosophy.
Not to be denied their share of the limelight is a
defensive unit that ranked eighth among the nation's
leaders in rushing defense with a mere 65.6 yards per
game allowance. The figure ranked as the second best
mark in Edinboro's history and helped limit the Scots'
oppostion to only 14.4 points per contest. The Boro's
defensive units, under the tutorship of coordinator Tom
Herman for the last five years, have been traditionally
stingy in the Pennsylvania Conference where Edinboro has
been the leader in rushing defense four out of the past five
seasons.

Headlining the cast here are a pair of senior AllAmerican candidates in 6-3, 230-pound tackle Rick Jordan
(Jamestown, NY) and 6-0, 192-pound linebacker Willie
Chealey (Orlando, FL) who combined for 186 stops last fall.
Chealey, a Conference first team pick, was the team's
leading tackier with 122 hits while Jordan, another first
team selection, contributed 64 jolts and led the list in sacks
with 12 to put his career total of 22 just 5 shy of the school
record.
"Willie is one of the few linebackers around who has
the speed to cover receivers coming out of the backfield,"
beamed Creehan, "while Rick has exceptional quickness
that makes the pass rush and pursuit his forte."
Teaming with Chealey at the other backer spot in the
5-2 alignment is 6-2, 220-pound senior Bob O'Rorke
(Pittsburgh, PA) tabbed by Creehan as "a fiery athlete who
gets the rest of the defense 'up' and makes the big play."
Sophomore Allen Ellis (5-11,205, Albion, NY) emerged as
the number one backup to O'Rorke and Chealey after
spring ball.
Tackle Don Espy (6-3, 245, Brookville, PA) a three-year
monogram winner, and junior middle guard Sean Hender
son (6-0, 230, West Mifflin, PA) another pass rush stand
out, team up with Jordan to form the heart of the Scots'
forward wall. The coaching staff is also high on sophomore
tackle Chuck Murray (6-4, 240, Tyrone, PA) who made
noted progress in spring camp. Adding help in pass rush
situations is Matt Grebenc (Wickliffe, OH) another quick
middle guard operative like Henderson.
Primary attention will be focused on the defensive end
slots manned by juniors Dave Emmert (6-3, 210, Lower
Burrell, PA) and John Brenneman(5-10, 225, Warren, OH).
"Just as the offensive line is the unproven portion of our
offense, so are the ends to our defense," theorized
Creehan. "The manpower is there, the drawback is the
experience factor," he concluded. Sophomore John
Cardone (Pittsburgh, PA) should also get a chance to prove
he can protect the flank.
Senior strong safety Keith Rose (Coraopolis, PA)
regarded as "the coach on the field," keys a solid Scot
secondary where the Scots show the most depth. Free
safety Ray Bracy (Youngstown, OH) the team's leader in
interceptions and fumble recoveries, anchors the unit with
Rose. Sophomores Terrell Clifford (Canton, OH) and
Martelle Betters (Connellsville, PA) are projected as the
starting corners, but redshirts Matt Robinson (Orlando, FL)
and Mark Perkins (Harve de Grace, MD) are talented
enough to step in at anytime.
Edinboro's kicking game appears to possess one of its
strongest kicking combinations in years with placement
booter Jim Trueman (Bellevue, PA) and punter Kevin
Conlan (Frewsburg, NY). Trueman, in his freshman debut,
was listed among the nation's scoring leaders with 69
points via 39 PAT's and 10 field goals. The PC First Team
pick set Edinboro records for the most extra point boots in a
season (39) and the single game PAT standard (7). Conlan,
vvho has proved his ability to get distance and heighth on
his punts, displayed the consistency in the spring needed to
make him a valuable asset should the offense get slowed
down.

"Overall our backfield will have a lot more speed as a
group," forecasted Creehan. "Damon is ready to blossom
into the groat player we expect him to be and Bob is one of
the most reliable halfbacks we have," the Edinboro
University coach added.
Giving the Scots a running back bonus this year is the
return of Mitchell Kelly (Canton, OH), a PC First Team
selection in 1982, who is once again in the lineup.
Sophomore Carmen Cicero (Niles, OH) emerged as a top
young prospect after spring ball with newcomer Tony Allen
(E. Carnegie, PA) ready to show his wares out of a halfback
slot.
Senior fullback Ray Rhodes (5-10, 190, White Plains,
NY) gives the Scots' running game an added dimension
with his speed. "If he improves his blocking, he could
become one of the best fullbacks we've ever had," offered
Creehan.
Rounding out the arsenal of offensive weapons are
wide receivers Gary McKnight (Orlando, FL) and Eric
Bosley (Willingboro, NJ) who could become the top two
pass catchers in the Conference if they avoid injury
problems. McKnight snagged 16 tosses for 428 yards last
year while Bosley, after a late start, tied an Edinboro record
with 3 TD grabs in a single game. Letter winner Dave
Gierlak (Buffalo, NY), the third in a trio of brothers to play for
the Scots, complements the duo with sophomore Bob
Suren (Parma, OH) earning the early nod at tight end.
The biggest question mark hovering over the Plaid's
offensive forces concerns the offensive line. "It's not that
we don't have good people on our line," indicated Creehan,
"it's Just that they're untested. As a matter of fact, they
have the potential to become one of the best offensive lines
in our conference," he summed.
Trueman kicks his way into the record book.

Why are a lot of college men and women
becoming buddies in Army ROTC?
Probably because Army ROTC is full of
the kind of people other people go out of their
way to meet.
ROTC students tend to be high achievers
who are interested in more than their studies.
They’re popular students with a serious side,
but who like to have a good time, too.
In other words, when people join Army
ROTC they often meet people a lot like them'

MATCH-UPS
ON THE UNE
by Don Doyie, Quad-City Times
nce upon a time the line of
scrimmage in a college football
game resembled the Battle of
O
the Titans.
Gigantic linemen of equal size, equal
strength and equal quickness stood
facemask to facemask and slugged it
out in ferocious fashion. The clash be
tween offensive and defensive lines was
a test of brute strength. Whoever could
outmuscle the other guy usually won
the game.
It’s still pretty ferocious in there. And
physical too. But a lot more finesse
goes into line play these days.
Oh, the offensive linemen are still
huge. The bigger the better, most
continued
recruiters will tell you. Tackles who are
6-7 and weigh 280 pounds are common
place. But they are almost always of
fensive tackles, not defensive tackles.
On defense, speed and quickness
nave become priorities.
"Now defenses are being geared com
pletely to quickness," said one West
Coast defensive coach. "The pass rush

that position in recent years who
weighed less than 200 pounds. Ends
who weigh 220 are more the norm.
It wasn’t always that way. A little
more than a decade ago, the biggest,
most powerful players could be found
as often on defense as on offense. Men
like Michigan State’s 6-7, 295-pound
Bubba Smith and Grambling’s 6-7, 287-
who can run the 40-yard dash in 4.6 or
4.7. For any other team he’d probably
play middle linebacker or fullback. But
the coaches put him on a structured
weightlifting program for a year or two
and come up with a good, quick
defensive tackle.
Movement just before the snap of the
ball and the use of "slants” are primary
go„ /„to
defensive linemen ere becoming fester.
is the reason. Finding guys who can put
on a pass rush is the No. 1 priority when
we re looking for defensive linemep.
We re always looking for guys who can
get to the quarterback.”
That s the whole philosophy of
most coaches now,” agreed another
coach. “Ifyou’vegotSO linemen to work
with, some are going to be fast and
some aren’t. That doesn’t mean the
slow ones aren’t good players. But the
great people who can really run usually
end up on defense.”
The trend now is toward smaller,
quicker defensive linemen. A 6-2, 240pound defensive tackle or noseguard is
more than acceptable these days in ma
jor college football. A 6-2, 240-pound of
fensive tackle is rare.
Defensive ends are usually even
lighter. A few teams have had men at
pound Buck Buchanan roamed the
defensive side.
When the other team was running
the football all the time, you wanted to
have those big guys who could stand up
to the offensive linemen and be physi
cal, ” noted one defensive line coach.
But then the option style of the run
ning attack became popular and teams
suddenly needed quicker defensive
players to cope with the outside
thrusts of the Wishbone and the Veer.
The advent of the wide open passing
attack has accelerated the trend.
One Big Ten school has been among
the leaders in the defensive quickness
movement. It has been doing for years
what others have only started doing in
recent seasons.
The formula is simple. Find a kid
who’s 6-2 or 6-3 with a solid build and
weapons of a quick defensive line. A
defensive tackle slants by lining up di
rectly across from an opposing offen
sive linemen but facing at an angle.
When the ball is snapped he charges
into a gap in the line.
You try to run around the guy in
stead of standing there and waiting for
him to come and block you, ” explained
one line coach. “You try to get into the
gaps in the line. Miami did a great job of
doing that last year.”
The Hurricanes also used a great deal
of movement in an effort to disrupt the
concentration of the offensive line.
Nothing disturbs an offensive guard or
tackle more than having the man across
from him shift just before the snap.
While quickness has joined (and vir
tually replaced) size and strength as a

MATCH-UPS ON THE LINE
continued
gauge of defensive line prowess, those
two old staples are still in vogue on the
other side of the ball. Offensive linemen
in the college ranks are bigger than ever
with several teams averaging more than
260 pounds across their front five. Colo
rado State, not exactly a gridiron pow
erhouse, claimed to have the biggest
line in the country last season with an
average of 269 pounds per man.
"With the new rules you’re able to
use your hands more on pass blocking
and teams are throwing the ball more
an30vay, ” said one midwestern line
coach. "With those factors in mind, it's
definitely to your advantage to have big
offensive linemen.
"A lot of teams are trying to counter
that with quickness. They're sacrificing
some size to get people who can outquick the big offensive linemen. ”
As a result, offensive linemen are
being asked to block men 10, 20, some
times 40 pounds lighter than them
selves. So what does a 270-pound
offensive tackle do when the 230-pound
defensive end lines up far outside and
prepares to make a beeline for the quar
terback? Or what does the 260-pound
guard do when the 240-pound defen
sive tackle lines up at a slant and looks
longingly at the gap between guard and
center?
He compensates for his lack of foot
speed with intelligence and good tech
nique. In other words, he has to antici
pate the actions of the defender, get the
proper angle on the man he is blocking,
and then utilize the blocking tactics
that have been drilled into him.
Technique. That word pops up over
and over again in conversations among
offensive linemen and their coaches.
Technique, according to one major
independent school line coach, is
"every physical movement that is
involved in the execution of a block."
That includes the use of hands, legs
and shoulders, knowing proper flexion
of the hips and knees, developing the
correct blocking angles, learning every
basic tenet of the drive block (for run
ning plays) and the set block (for pass
protection). Everything.
"The key to the whole thing is repeti
tion, ” said one coach. "Offensive line
men have to be willing to work very
hard.”
It 's also nice if they have long arms. It
defrays the margin for error.
"If a guy has shorter arms, he has to
be that much better with his tech-

nique, " explained one coach, "whereas
a kid who is 6-7 and has those long arms
can be a little sloppy and get away with
it. If the shorter kid makes a mistake he
can really get burned.”
It’s a little different with the drive
block, where the primary object is to
beat the other guy off the line and get
leverage on him. Shorter, lighter line
men have their place there, especially if
they have a quick first step. No matter
how big and strong the guy is across the
line, if an offensive linemen can be the
driver instead of the drivee, he’ll prob
ably get the job done.
Of course, height, weight, speed and
wingspan aren’t the only criteria for
selecting offensive and defensive line
men. Coaches often base their de
cisions as much on aptitude, attitude
and personality.
The general stereotype is something
like this:
• Offensive linemen are passive, de
fensive linemen are aggressive.
• Offensive linemen have above aver
age intelligence, defensive linemen
have below average intelligence.
• Offensive linemen are nice, defen
sive linemen are mean.
• Offensive linemen work hard, de
fensive linemen are a little lazy.
• Offensive linemen are gentle and
contemplative, defensive linemen are
loud and rowdy.
You’ll get varying opinions on the va
lidity of the stereotype although most
view it as having only a thread of truth.
"The offensive lineman has to keep
his composure more," admitted one
West Coast coach. "You don’t want to
put sissies on offense but you want
them to have a calmer metabolism. The
crazier guy who has a tendency to jump
offsides belongs on defense. ”
"You always hear the stories about
how this guy wasn’t good enough for
defense so they moved him to offense,”
reflected an offensive line coach from
the Big Ten. "But we like our guys to be
aggressive, too.
"I guess the biggest difference is that
an offensive lineman has'to play with
more control. Pass blocking is a good
example. The defensive guys are wail
ing on you but you have to maintain
your control and concentration. Defen
sive guys can just play a lot more loose.
"A good parallel to playing the offen
sive line would be hitting a golf ball or
hitting a baseball. You want to be in
tense but you also have to be under
control. ”
And be big and strong and tough and
have good technique and be ready to
cope with some lightning-footed,
scaled-down "titans.”

h how the myths have exploded
down through the years about
those wacky, crazy, flaky and
zany left-handed quarterbacks.
They have been portrayed as a funloving, free-spirited bunch of football
players who march to the beat of a dif
ferent drum. The guys who throw with
the so-called "wrong arm” are sup
O
posed to be capable of doing anything
at any time to give a coach gray hairs.
In short, it’s safe to expect the unex
pected from the southpaw throwers.
They tantalize their coaches with
flashes of brilliance one moment and
near total disaster at another moment.
Many left-handed quarterbacks have
overcome this nagging stigma of incon
sistency and gone on to have superb
college careers. Last season, two of the
top quarterbacks in the nation Boomer
Esiason of Maryland and Steve Young of
Brigham Young—threw with their left
hand.
They were so brilliant and consistent

Saturday after Saturday that their
coaches and fans nearly forgot that
they had a left-hander at the most im
portant position on the team.
“The only problem we came upon
was if we had to demonstrate some
thing, ” said a right-handed Atlantic
Coast Conference coach who watched
his talented left-hander win 16 games
over two seasons against some of the
top teams in the country.
“ Some people say the spin of the ball
is different from a left-hander, ” con
tinued the ACC head coach. ‘ But I
don’t believe there’s any real difficulty
unless you talk about it and think about
it a lot. ”
But there can be no question that a
left-hander does present problems for
his teammates and the opposition on a
regular basis, if for no other reason than
the fact that he is different from most
quarterbacks.
Something like 95 percent of quarter
backs are right-handers. Defenses are
accustomed to playing against right
handers and get a different look of
where the ball is coming from when a
left-hander unloads a pass.
The lefties have also been known to
gamble a little more in clutch situations
and rise to the occasion when backed
into a corner. Maybe they have some
thing to prove since they grew up
throwing the ball differently from
almost everybody else.
A left-hander is certainly much better
at rolling out to his left and putting the
ball in the air. When he goes to the left,
he’s usually attacking the weak side of
the defense—those people who don’t
normally get as much work on a regular
afternoon.
Some defensive coaches may want to
shift personnel around to compensate
for the added dimension a left-hander
gives a team. And they also have to be
prepared for the different rotation on
the football when it leaves the hand of a
lefty.
"Sometimes a left-hander will throw
a curve, screwball, or something like
that,” said a Southeastern Conference
coach. "The spin on the ball is different
but it doesn’t matter as long as it gets
there. ”
The different spin would create a
problem for a receiver if he were catch
ing the ball from a southpaw for the
first time all week. But all receivers
catch hundreds of passes every week
from all the quarterbacks on the squad.
By Saturday afternoon they're ready to
catch the ball as long as it doesn't spin,
curve, or dip too much.
When that happens, the left-handed
quarterback usually says he was just
lot
Maryland’s Boomer Esiason, throwing lefthanded, shattered records In ’83.
being "creative " and messing up the
defense. But both the quarterback and
his pass-catchers know that every now
and then a southpaw is going to look
bad on a pass when it gets away from
him.
Most coaches say they don’t install
any special pass patterns for a lefty.
However, they’ll try to attack the weak
side of the defense as often as possible
if they have a quarterback who is
mobile enough to roll left and throw ef
fectively on the run.
In these days of complicated and
multiple defenses, the offensive coaches
are always looking for a minor twist or
turn to gain any kind of slight advantage
a left-hander might provide. Even if the
quarterback and his receiver do every
thing the same on a pass pattern a right
hander would do, there is still the
obvious difference of trying to stop a
passer who has the ball in the other
hand.
The left side of the defensive line has
more distance to travel to get to the foot
ball when a lefty has it. When the defen
sive linemen start bearing down on a
left-handed quarterback, the first thing
they are usually facing is his back and
not the ball.
This can give the quarterback the few
extra precious seconds he might need
to get the pass off or to scramble out of
trouble and find another receiver.
So what happens if the left-handed
starter suddenly gets hurt during a
game and the coach has to call on his
back-up—a right-hander—to come into
the game?
The tendency is to believe the offen
sive team has to completely readjust its
plan of attack. This could be true in
some cases, but most coaches like to
give their back-up quarterback enough
playing time to be comfortable with the
first unit.
If the No. 2 signal caller has only been
in games with the second team, that’s
when the problems start. You can prac
tice for days with the first team, but
there’s no substitute for working under
game conditions with your receivers,
running backs and offensive linemen.
Although there is no difference in the
way a left-hander takes a snap from
center, there are the usual timing
factors to be concerned about. These
are important when a right-hander re
places a right-hander, and are a little
more ticklish when a righty subs for a
southpaw.
As far as defensive adjustments a
team has to make when it is going to
face a left-hander are concerned, it all
depends on the quarterback’s strengths
and weaknesses.
If he runs a well-balanced offense to
both sides of the field, there isn’t much
an opponent can do to project what’s
coming on Saturday afternoon. But if
the lefty has shown a tendency to favor
a certain pass pattern over another, the
wheels are set in motion for some defen
sive wizardr^^
“You do make a thorough study of
quarterbacks, ” said BYU’s offensive
coordinator. " You study his tendencies
and se»4 what he likes to do the most.
Sometimes those traits may be a little
easier to pick up with a left\/ who is
obviously more comfortable going to
his left. ”
The BYU coach, who worked with
record-shattering Steve Young last sea
son, said that all left-handed quarter
backs like to say they can go to their
right better than their left.
“But it’s just not true,” he said.
"These guys like to make people believe
they can roll right to prove their versa
tility. But you know a left-hander is
naturally going to be more at ease going
to his left. ”
No lefty likes to think he is limited,
especially a quarterback who thrives on
confidence and complete belief in his
ability to get the job accomplished.
Some have said left-handers are more
cocky and brash than their right-handed
counterparts.
But believers in the left-handers concontinued

tend that it’s just the quarterback posi
tion that makes everybody seem that
way. They don’t think most lefties are
arrogant. They have to be strong to lead
10 other guys on the field, and that
strength is sometimes confused with
obnoxiousness.
Unlike baseball where the southpaw
is restricted to pitching, first base and
the outfield, football holds no major
limitations on where a left-hander can
play. The only time a football coach
might make a change because a player
is left-handed would be in determining
on which side of the line he might use
the lefty.
Most coaches like their offensive and
defensive linemen to be ambidextrous,
but if a player is much more at ease hit
ting with his left arm first he will
usually be put in a position where he
can utilize his strengths to the utmost.
’You just see which guys are more
comfortable on a certain side of the
field,” said a Big Ten coach. "The same
can be true of right-handers as well as
lefties. It’s something you look at for
linebackers and defensive backs as well
as linemen and ends. ”
While the left-handed quarterback
‘^Sometimes a left-hander
will fliroir a cut^e, screwhallf or something like that,”
said a Southeastern Con
ference coach, ‘*The spin
on the ball is different but
it doesn*t matter as long as
it gets there.**
has some advantages and a few disad
vantages, a running back who is lefthanded would have a definite advan
tage if the coach wanted to use him on a
pass-option play. He could carry the
ball in the right hand and then suddenly
switch the ball away trom the defender
to the left hand and throw a pass.
All-America Steve Young last season
helped dispel some of those fables
about left-handers. His soft touch
passes rolled up points on the scoreboard and skyrocketed his passing
statistics.
”He was completely opposite from
what you always hear about left
handers, ” said the BYU coach. "He was
the most accurate quarterback we’ve
had here and we never did anything to
compensate for him being left-handed.”
While Young did the job with a soft
pass, Maryland’s southpaw Boomer
Esiason shattered passing records with
a whistling pass that split defenders
many times to find the open arms of
receivers.
Both quarterbacks received super re
sults with different methods, but they
both used what teachers and educators
once referred to as the ”bkd arm.”
The BYU coach recalled the days
when he was in elemenfary school and
a kid in the room was reprimanded for
using his left hand. It.was a time when
all youngsters were being taught to use
their right hands.
Now that thinking has changed. As
one left-hander put it, "We are more
spontaneous and creative. We use the
hand that is closest to our heart, which
makes us more sincere.”

After you've found the GM car or truck of
your dreams, don't turn the financing into a
hassle. All you really have to do is tell your
GM Dealer to arrange GMAC Financing—
at rates that make good sense.
It's so easy with GMAC. You save time
because your GM Dealer can handle
all the arrangements right in the
showroom. And that convenience
is just one of the reasons why
more people finance more cars and trucks
with GMAC than anyone else in ijie business.
So why not finance your new GM car or

THE RADIO COLOR MAN
continued
if';
is as singular a trademark as a
team s helmet logo or mascot.
His expressions become a part of the
fan’s vocabulary.
His voice and rhythmic delivery
mimicked.
His descriptions of game scenes
become a permanent chapter of team
history for every fan who couldn’t make it
to the stadium on time.
Color men come from a variety of
backgrounds.
Some are formerly prominent college
players, often alumni of the teams they’re
broadcasting.
Some are full time broadcasters with
years of experience.
A third group fits neither category.
They weren’t great players, and they’re
just learning the broadcasting business.
But people like to hear their voices during
a game.
®
"A good color man, ” says a veteran
play-by-play announcer in the Big Ten,
“can add a real dimension to a broadcast.
He can inject a liveliness into the story
line that complements the play-by-play
mans job. A good play-by-play man
always comes prepared to do his job. A
good color man can make him sound
even better. ”
The converse is also true.
No matter how flawless the play-byplay delivery, a weak color man can
disrupt the broadcast fiow more quickly
than a power failure.
With each broadcast team, the color
man’s job varies.
In a Uvo-man team, the color man’s
responsibilities are expanded beyond
simply making comments during a game.
The color man in the two-man team
usually gets the game show on and oflFthe
air. He handles introductions, including
halftime guests. If there are no halftime
guests, he describes halftime ceremonies.
Often he’s also responsible for locker
room interviews on the post-game show.
Every color man is expected to provide
requisite game facts in his pre-game
comments: who’s playing, \yhere they’re
playing, what the teams’ records are and
how weather conditions, may affect the
game’s outcome.
Better color men go a step further,
delving into the nuanbes of a game by
briefly charting the storylines they’ll
follow during the afternoon: key match
ups, relationships of opposing coaches,
the impact the game could have on bowl
game aspirations of either or both teams.
Three-man broadcast teams are dis
tinguished by the addition of a game
analyst to the roster.
The analyst, usually a former coach or
player, uses his intimate knowledge of
college football to apprise listeners of
what strategy and tactics are being
used. In this situation, the color man
avoids technical aspects of the game to
concentrate on other areas.
Whether two-man or three-man, the
broadcast team has to learn to work
together, becoming familiar with the
cadence/)f the play-by-play man’s voice
and th^ lulls in which the color man
and analyst can make their points.
“The 25 seconds between plays in a
college game makes a vastly different
broadcast than a pro game in which 30
seconds transpire between plays, ”
says a veteran Southeastern Con
ference broadcaster who has served as
both color man and play-by-play an
nouncer for the better part of 20 years.
The extra five secohds in the pro
game can be interminable. You’ll have a
bit more freedom as a color man to get
your thoughts on the air. The college
game gives the impression of moving
along so much faster. You have to know
what you’re going to say and say it

RADIO COLOR man;

succinctly.”
In the radio
booth as well
as on the playing
field, the opening two
or three games of the
season are usually the
proving ground.
Because the popularity of college
i^football radio broadcasts generates big
ratings — and big profits — radio exec
utives are very critical in their reviews
of broadcast teams.
A color man who can’t hold his own
in the two-man team, or one who steps
on the lines of his compatriots in the
three-man team, is immediately rele
gated to less air time.
An experienced broadcast team
that’s worked together for several sea
sons has a comfortable feel for the radio
audience right from the season opener.
A team with one or more new mem
bers can have its ups and downs.
‘‘The longer you work with someone,
the better patterns you get into, ” said
an announcer with five decades of col
lege football broadcasting duty, the last
two decades coming on the broadcast
team of a Los Angeles-based Pac-10
team.
‘‘The play-by-play man accepts the
other guy and learns fi'om him. The big
thing is that one pair of eyes can’t see it
all. The play-by-play man follows the
ball. The color man can more closely
analyze what the defense is doing. He
sees who caused the fumble.
‘‘A priority,”he said,"is to keep it
simple.
" You don’t want to be too technical in
the college game, ” he said. “College
football is more a spectacle. People are
dressed up and meeting old Mends.
There’s a larger audience ofwomen. It’s
a social event.
“They just aren’t as involved in the
technical points of the game. You don’t
kiss off the technical stuff altogether, but
there’s a lot going on at a col
lege game beyond pure unadulterated
football. ”
Perhaps the best way to keep the
pace flowing in a college broadcast is to
be well prepared.
"If you want to be a professional,”
said one former Big-10 color comment
ator, "you come in prepared. A lot of
guys don’t, but if you don’t do your
homework, you’re not doing your job.
"It’s extremelyimportant to get input
from the coaches. They know what a
guy’s strengths and weaknesses are.
They know the kinds of things that can
make it a long day for a player.
"So you watch for it. Pick out some
thing you can look for that you expect
to be a key and monitor the pattern
through the game.”
The color man’s job in recent years
has been immeasurably assisted by the
growing intricacies of college football.
"The frequent use of statistics, for
one thing, ” the veteran Pac-10
dtl4
announcer said. “Theaheer amount of
information you have at your fingertips
helps you do a better job. It’s all
changed. You’re not in the press box
any more. It’s the communications
center.”
The diff^erence in the color man’s
duties can be altered by the medium.
On radio, he’s an illustrator and educa
tor. On television, he can be like a
counterpunching boxer.
“When you’re doing TV, it’s not
necessary to say the pass is dragging
downfield like a crippled quail and has
interception written all over it, ” says
the veteran SEC color commentator.
"All that’s done for you. The color
man becomes analyst in a TV broad
cast. Radio lets you paint the picture.”
The best test of a color man’s craft is
how well he communicates the flavor
and excitement of the game via the
radio airwaves, how artfully he illus
trates the scene to a fan who may be
hundreds of miles away and fishing
fi'om a bass boat floating in the middle
of a lake.
If he can fire up that angler, get him
dialed into every play, the fisherman is
going to become a cheerleader.
And the cheerleader is going to shout
loud enough to drive the fish away.
The fishing trip may be ruined.
But the fisherman has enjoyed an
afternoon of college football thanks to
the second banana who brings the
game to life—the radio color man. ^

The most common defense among
college football teams today is the "50”
defense, consisting of five linemen, two
inside linebackers and a four-rdeep sec
ondary. One of those linemen is the
noseguard, who is usually positioned
head-up on the center.
It’s the noseguard who has the big
gest say in whether or not a team plays
a good "50” defense or a lousy one.
"It’s the most essential position of
the front,’’ says one coach in the South.
"I feel very strongly that if you ’ve got a
person in there who cannot dominate,
then you should play another defense.
Those are pretty strong words, but
that’s the way I’ve always felt about it. ”
Says another coach from a southern
school, ‘You’re going to struggle or be
mighty average unless you have a domi
nant noseguard in a ‘50’ front.”
It’s quite obvious why the noseguard
is so important in the “50" defense. In
most “50” alignments, the noseguard is
over the center, the two tackles are
head-up with the offensive tackles and
the two ends (the outside linebackers,
as they are sometimes called) are
outside the tight end. Each has a cer
tain area of responsibility.
"We use what we call gap control,”
says one coach. “For instance, the two
tackles are responsible for the gap be
tween the guards and the tackles. Our
ends have the area from the tight end to
the sideline.”
That leaves the noseguard with the
area from guard to guard. He’s the only
player on the defensive front who is
asked to cover two gaps — the center-
guard gap on both sides of the football.
"And if you can find a gu\' who can
cover two gaps,” say's a coach, "then
you’ve got yourself one heckuva foot
ball player.”
Says another coach, ’Regardless of
which side they should run to, right or
left, the noseguard should be the first
man on the tackle if the play goes be
tween the guards. We tell all our people
they should be in on the tackle, but they
have one gap that is their primary con
cern until the ball is snapped. Then
they can leave that area. ”
One coach who employs the 4-3 de
fense at his school says the noseguard’s
two-gap responsibility is the main rea
son he doesn’t like the “50” front.
"In our 4-3 our middle linebacker has

the same gaps to cover as the noseguard, ” he says. "But we think he can
do a better job of it by standing up three
or four yards off the ball rather than get
ting down face to face with the center.
We think it’s easier to react that way. ”
when searching for a noseguard, a
coach is looking for two things: he must
have great quickness and he must be
strong enough to battle one, two or
three offensive linemen.
"The noseguard has to move and be
into the center as soon as the ball
moves, ’ ’ says a coach who uses the "50 ”
defense. "That’s the most important
thing in teaching noseguard play: mov
ing on the football. That’s something
you can develop to a degree, but it’s
mainly something you’re born with.
"You want to move so quickly that the
center would swear you’re offsides.
And many times the good ones are off
sides because of that great anticipation.
We really stress how important it is to
move when the ball moves. ”
The noseguard is taught to move
through the center’s block instead of
trying to go around him. ' If you go
around him,” says a coach, "the center
will just cutyou off. We tell our kids that
if the center moves left, then you’ve got
to work that way. ”
It’s tough on a center. He must worry
first about getting off a good snap to the
quarterback. Then comes the blocking
part. All this happens in a fraction of a
second, and it’s a demanding situation.
"More and more I think we re seeing
the best athletes on the offensive line at
center because of all the good noseguards around,” says a coach. "And if
you can’t handle the noseguard, you’ll
be in for a long day.”
The most obvious problem a good
noseguard could cause
is poor
exchanges from the center to the
quarterback.
"If you’ve got a noseguard going into
the center every play, you’re going to
create some mistakes,” a coach says.
"The center tries to move his hands a
little quicker. He might not be concen
trating as much on the exchange as he
is on the guy in front of him. And the
quarterback may be trying to get out of
there a little quicker than normal.
"Even if you don’t create fumbles,
you might interrupt the exchange from
the quarterback to a running back. It
just destroys whatever cohesiveness an
offensive might have.”
Offense must make adjustments to
handle dominant noseguards. " What
we do, ” says one offensive coach, "is try
to give the center as much help as
possible. We ll use one guard, some
times both guards if we have to, on the
noseguard.”
The new scheme may block the nose
guard, but it also leaves one-on-one
blocking for the defensive tackles,
which in turn makes them much more
effective.
As one defensive coach bluntly puts
it, "You can block my noseguard one•on-one and he’ll eat your lunch. You
can double-team my noseguard and my
tackles will eat your lunch. Makes no
difference to me.”
If an offense does cook up a new
blocking scheme to handle the nose
guard, it may do more harm to the of
fense than good.
"Many teams have had malfunctions
against us, ” a defensive coach says,
"because they’ve had to change the
things they’d been doing all season.
The type of guy who can force a team to
change what they normally do is the
type of guy we re looking for to play
noseguard.”
No one can measure the effect a
dominant noseguard has on the oppo
sition during the week before a game,
but one coach believes it would be sur
prising.
"Those players sit there all week,
watching films of your noseguard just
destroying a center, ” one coach says,
"and they realize that "Hey, this guy
may force us into a lot of mistakes. It
works on their minds. ”
There are certain variations of the
"50 ” that are frequently used. "Rarely
do you see a team play a straight "50’ for
a whole game, ” says a coach. And that
may change the responsibility of the
noseguard.
What a team might do is run an "over
shift” to the strong (or tight end) side,
then shift the secondary to the weak
(away from the tight end) side for run
support there.
In the "overshift, ” the noseguard
moves into the center-guard gap on the
strong side. The tackle on the weak side
moves down from head-up with the
offensive tackle to directly over the
guard.
One coach who uses the wide-tacklesix defense — a popular defense in
years gone by, but employed by just a
handful of teams these days — laughs
when someone mentions the "50”
overshift.
"All they’re doing then, ” he says, "is
running our defense. We take our 60guard and put him in the guard-center
gap, just like they do with the nose
guard. It’s the same thing. Then, every
front player is responsible for just one
gap. And most teams are better when
they have their players in one-gap
responsibility.”

But some teams using the wide-tacklesix alignment convert to the "50” in
certain situations.
"Sometimes, we ll move our guard
from the center-guard gap to directly
over the center, just like a noseguard, in
passing situations, ” says one coach.
"We feel like he gets a little better pass
rush over the center than the guard
because the center is worried about
snapping the ball first, then blocking. ”
One coach compares finding a quality
noseguard to finding a quality quar
terback. "There just aren’t many
around, ” he says. "What we’ve always
done is take our best defensive lineman
and put him there. Eveiything in the
"50’ is structured around him. That’s
where the heart of the defense is. He’s
the cog.
"That’s what we tell a guy when we
put him there: "Everything revolves
around you. You set up the huddle. The
others come to you. When the defense
is called, you’re the first one to the ball.
And when the ball moves, you’re the
first one on defense to move.”
And what the noseguard does on that
initial move following each snap can
determine who wins the game.

UNIVERSITY OF THE SOUTH
Remarkable story? Yes. The College
Football Hall of Fame near Cincinnati
ought to play it big. It doesn't now.
Someday it will.
No team will match that feat.
It happened in 1899. William
McKinley was the president of the U.S.,
while in England, Queen Victoria was
still doddering around Buckingham
Palace.
Sewanee was officially 'The Univer
sity of the South, " ivy all over its 10,000acres up the road a piece from Chatta
nooga, if one is headed toward
Nashville.
Football is still there. It’s not de-emphasized football — just football, by
student-scholars. The late Shirley
Majors, John's dad, coached it with dis
tinction for years.
The NCAA knows about Sewanee
football. It has awarded more of its
post-graduate honors scholarships
there than to any Division III institu
tion in the land.
Sewanee is proud of its football tra
dition but does not boast of it from
housetops. Once upon a time the
Purple Tigers were the perennial
southern football power.
It wasn’t a power by the time the
Southeastern Conference was born in
1933, but Sewanee was a member. It re
signed in 1940, with an 0-37 SEC foot
ball record.
But from 1899, for 30-odd seasons
Sewanee wasn’t embarrassed to chal
lenge anybody.
Its memorable team, that '99 team
ignored by history, set a tone. The five
wins in six days came late in a 12-0-0
season.
Sewanee archives credit Luke Lea, a
big-dreaming team business manager,
with assembling the players for 1899,
and persuading Suter to coach them.
Lea later became a Nashville news
paper publisher and U.S. senator. He re
cruited men from several states, mostly
players with college experience.
Warbler Wilson, quarterback, had
been a second-stringer at South Caro
lina. Captain of the team was H. G.
Seibels, of Birmingham, Ala., a lineman.
Seibels was the last survivor of the
team, dying in 1969, as a College
Football Hall of Famer.
Sewanee opened its '99 season de
feating Georgia, 12-0, and Georgia Tech,
32-0, in Atlanta on Oct. 21 and Oct. 23. It
routed Tennessee, 46-0, and Southwest
ern, 54-0, at home within the next 11
days.
It finished the year spanking Cum
berland, 71-0, on Nov. 20 at home;
Auburn, 11-10, in Montgomery on Nov.
30; and North Carolina, 5-0, in Atlanta,

Six days, five football games,
five victories—and a
bid for history.
On the seventh
day, Sewanee records it,
^^they rested
Dec. 2.
The final game should have been
called a bowl.’ It predated the Rose
Bowl by twoyears, with all the elements
to qualify it as a major post-season
game.
Sewanee heard about North Carolina
claiming the Dixie championship. The
Tigers challenged the boast and settled
it, by a field goal (which counted five
points then).
But The Trip was for the ages. Lea
promoted that, too. He even talked
school fathers into buying new uni
forms for the team — the custom back
then had players furnishing their own
combat wardrobes and shoes.
A crisis developed on the team’s spe
cial sleeper car five miles down the rail
road from Sewanee. Lea remembered
he d forgotten to load the new uniforms
off the station platform.
Lea got the conductor to wire a re
quest that the equipment be dis
patched on a following train. The uni
forms caught up with the players a few
minutes before kickoff in Austin.
Sewanee caught up with a fast-start
ing Texas early in the match. The Long
horns moved to the Tiger 15.
A story goes that at that point a Sewa
nee alumnus waved a fistful of money
to fellow sidelining Texans, offering
odds that Texas wouldn’t score then, or
later.
Texans covered. Texans lost.
One Sewanee version of that gamble
is that most of the winning money in
volved represented an investment by
Sewanee players.
Historians report that following the
game Texans hosted Sewanee players
at a dance.
Following a late night trip to Hous
ton, Sewanee whipped the Texas Aggies
the next afternoon, a Friday.
The 400 miles left to New Orleans
denied the Tigers a dance in Houston.
The players did attend a theatre per
formance on Saturday evening, after
Tulane had been trounced, 23-0.
In the play’s ( "Rupert of Hentzan”)
final act the dead hero was on stage in
state when Queen Flavia rushed on in
royal mourning clothes of purple.
That was Sewanee’s color. The
players leaped up and rendered their
school syell. Actors and audience were
mystified. -The dramatic spell was lost,
like Teys, A&M and Tulane had.
And LSU was to lose in Baton Rouge
on Monday, and Ole Miss in Memphis
on Tuesday.
On Sunday, break day, Sewanee play
ers toured a sugar plantation on a
detour to Baton Rouge. They cheered
for the purple cane.
LSU s color is purple also, and so
were their bruises. Ole Miss colors were
red and black. So were their feelings
late Tuesday.
The 300-miles from Memphis to
Sewanee were uneventful for a team
headed home. The entire student body,
tis written, met the train.
There was a triumphant half-mile
parade up the mountain to the campus.
Students had rented a hack. They ropepulled it up the slope with 21 celebri
ties aboard.
Six days, five football games, five vic
tories — and a bid for history. On the
seventh day, Sewanee records it, "they
rested. ”

CROSS COUNTRY TEAM MARKS TIME
f^c.id label and follow directions
Monloy & James. 1983
Edinboro University's cross country coach, Doug
Watts, feels that his men distance hopefuls will be
maintaining the Scots traditionally respected "status quo"
this year in preparation of "great expectations" for the fall
of 1985.
"Our team is young and needs another year of
experience and physical maturation before we can realist
ically challenge for another national championship,"
claimed the EUP mentor who has guided the running Scots
to outstanding success over the past 15 years. "We have
set modest goals — another undefeated dual match season
and an NCAA II national finish among the top ten,"
continued Watts whose teams are working on a string of 57
consecutive dual match wins that span 12 straight un
defeated seasons.
In anticipation of the 1985 charge and as an indication
of the wealth of talent Watts has on hand, Edinboro AllAmerican Steve Repko (E. Aurora, NY) will sit out this
campaign as a red shirt." Still, more than a dozen runners
will battle for the top spots to carry on the Scots nationally
recognized reputation of distance running excellence.
"I don't think I can accurately single out who will be our
top runner this year," revealed Watts. "There simply are
too many talented people to predict a distinct order of
finish."
The situation is one that should make any intercol
legiate coach happy, and Watts is no exception.
"Our depth means that competition within our team
might be more intense than against most of our opponents.
As a result our seven top runners should be as tough psychologically as they are physically," added Watts coyly.
Expected to challenge for the number one spot is junior
Mike Hulme (E. Aurora, NY). A two-time national finalist in
the steeplechase at the NCAA II Track Championships,
Hulme could emerge as a cross country All-American for
the Scots this fall. A fellow Steepler, Tim Dunthorne
(sophomore, Sundbury, Ont.) finished seventh at the NCAA
track finals last spring and has all the tools to join Hulme in
the quest for an All-American scroll. Junior Steve Stahl
also has the potential to finish among the national leaders
but has to "overcome personal distractions" says Watts.
The Edinboro coach can still count on another group of
his talented runners to challenge for the number one
position on any given day. Luke Graham (sophomore,
Cochranton, PA) is seen by Watts as the "team fighter" and
feels "once his training catches up with his heart" Graham
will be a future champion. Sidelined last year due to an
injury was Genarro Manocchio (freshman, Parma, OH)
who will probably start slow but make his presence known
at the top through October.
Also wearing an Edinboro uniform for the first time will
be transfer Scott Burns (sophomore, Pittsfield, PA) who,
likewise, is a front-runner contender. Junior Bill Maloney
(Hollidaysburg, PA), a consistent top five finisher for the
last two seasons, has always been a dependable pointgetter who continually delivers clutch performances.
The remaining roster members could, by themselves,
comprise a team that might prove to be the best in the
Pennsylvania Conference where the Scots compete. Only
in his third year of running, senior Tom Borawski (Sharon,
PA) has been selected to captain the team because of the
great attitude and leadership qualities he demonstrated
last fall. Sophomore Ron Beck (Kent, OH), recovering from a
bout of mononucleosis over the summer, and junior Greg
Cunningham (Warren, PA), a place-finisher in the Con
ference 10,000 meter run, are threats who should surprise
opponents. A pair of sophomores, Gregg Redd (Swanton,
OH) and Ken Scott (Jeanette, PA) are potentially dangerous
competitors as is junior Frank Tascone (Madison, OH).
A trio of Ohio freshmen recruits, who Watts believes
have promising futures, have joined the squad. "These
three are excellent runners," indicated Watts. "But it
remains to be seen if they will be able to overtake any of the
upperclassmen this early in their collegiate careers."
The threesome includes Brian Martin (Sandusky, OH),
Matt Marshall (Lansing, OH) and Tim Powers (Youngstown,
OH). Martin was fourth in the Buckeye State AA meet with
Marshall posting a fifth in his division and Powers
ending up 12th in the AAA race.

"My number one concern is to see that all
the athletes in our program continue suc
cessfully toward and obtain their degrees/'
added Creehan._____________ ________
Creehan was a captain of Edinboro University
1970 team that captured the Lambert Bowl, em
blematic of the best college football team in the East,
won the Pennsylvania Conference Championship
and earned a berth in the NAIA national playoffs. He
starred in the secondary as a strong safety that
season when the Fighting Scots finished their
regular campaign undefeated with a 9-0 record.
Prior to a three-year stint on the Edinboro staff as
an assistant, Creehan served as recruiting coordi
nator at the University of Pittsburgh in 1974 under
Coach Johnny Majors. The following year he was a
member of the Carnegie-Mellon University football
staff as the team's offensive coordinator.
The young mentor has likewise had an outstand
ing athletic career as a football player. After starring
as both a halfback and strong safety at Bethel Park
High School, the Castle Shannon, Pa. native accu
mulated numerous gridiron honors at Edinboro. At
the conclusion of his senior campaign for the Fighting
Scots, he was accorded first team All-East honors by
the ECAC and first team All-State Associated Press
accolades as the Scots' strong safety. In addition, he
was named to the Pittsburgh Press All-District first
team and to the NAIA District 18 All-Star squad. He
was one of the three 1970 captains who accepted
Edinboro's Lambert Bowl trophy at the Lambert
Awards Banquet in New York City.
The son of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Creehan of Bethel
Park, the Fighting Scot coach resides in Edinboro
with his wife, Linda, and their two sons, Kevin and
Head Coach - Denny Creehan
Since Denny Creehan's appointment five
years ago as the ninth head coach in Edinboro's
football history, the Fighting Scots have commanded
respect both in the highly regarded Pennsylvania
Conference as well as on the national scene. Record
breaking performances have become the order of the
day while riding the crest of a glossy 31-18-1 ledger
over the past five seasons. The 34-year-old mentor
has produced a .633 winning percentage mark to
move him into first place on Edinboro's all-time
coaching list.
Over the past two seasons Creehan's clubs have
posted an impressive 17-4 chart while figuring in 43
school records that were either tied or broken.
Following up a brilliant 9-2 slate two years ago, along
with the PC's Western Divison title, Creehan's
charges blazed to an 8-2 card last fall while becoming
Edinboro's most explosive offensive team ever.
The 1983 Scots scored a record breaking 41.2
points per game and ranked second in the nation
among NCAA Division II competitors in total offense
with a 461.1 yards per contest output. That output
was good enough to be rated 10th among all the
major college's and universities in the country ahead
of such schools as Boston College (13th), Florida
State (14th), and North Carolina (15th).
While producing a respected competitor on the
football field is, of course, an annual goal, Creehan
has continually stressed the importance of aca
demics as a top priority for his student athletes. "We
must be winners in the classroom first," indicated
the Edinboro University mentor.

National Football Foundation's
College Football Hall of Fame
Galbreath Field
Since the College Football Hall
of Fame opened in August 1978,
it has appealed to people of all
ages with just about every inter
est imaginable . . . people who
like movies, sports, computer
games, American history, mod
ern museums, great athletes, col
orful displays, nostalgia, me
morabilia, stirring speeches,
cheerleaders, marching bands,
Saturday afternoons in the fall
and college football.
When the Hall of Fame was
dedicated in August 1978, ''Red"
Blaik was the keynote speaker.
He spoke to the crowd on behalf
of all Hall of Famers and said.
"This is the best happening in
college football since the legali
zation of the forward pass." His
comment exemplifies the excite
ment that awaits college football
fans who visit the shrine and the
experience that already has been
enjoyed by thousands.
The College Football Hall of
Fame is not only a place to see.
The National Collegiate Divi
sion III Football Championship
(Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl)
moved to the College Football
Hall of Fame's Galbreath Field in
1983. Augustana College (Illi
nois) came from behind for an
exciting 21-17 victory over Union
College (New York).
This year's championship
again will be played at Galbreath
Field on Saturday, December 8.
The Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl
will mark the culmination of a
three-week, 16-team national
play-off among the nation's most
outstanding small college foot
ball teams. Every aspect of the
play-off is under the administra
tion of the NCAA Division III
Football Committee.
Galbreath Field is a 10,000-seat
stadium located immediately ad
jacent to the College Football
Hall of Fame at Kings Island,
Ohio. The first intercollegiate
game was played at Galbreath
Field on September 12, 1981, be
tween Ashland College and the
University of Dayton.
learn and participate in the histo
ry of football, but a place to get to
know the game as it is today.
From its one-eighth mile long
Time Tunnel, which traces the
2,000-year development of the
game from ancient Greece to the
present in more than 30 time
capsules, to the Hall of Fame
Room where each of the Hall of
Famers are honored, to its fu
turistic use of computer termi
nals that allow the visitor to
match wits with the great coaches
or to call up the biographies of
every Hall of Famer, the museum
can and does bring the total col
lege football experience to life. Its
personalized approach and ac^ tion-oriented attractions have in
trigued all who have visited. As
"Sleepy" Jim Crowley, one of the
Notre Dame Four Horsemen,
simply said, "This Hall of Fame
is not in the telling or talking
about, it's in the seeing."

S
You’re right, it certainly is, but
how about all those athletes who
played the great American game
during the first 70 years — the "60minute men.”
Now that was really rough and tough
football and it challenged an athlete’s
THE
stamina as much as his skills. The col
lege football players of the 'good ol’
days ” played both offense and defense
and were in the game from the opening
kickoff to the final gun.
Unlike the game today in which 11
fresh players trot onto the field when
ever the ball goes from one team to the
other, football in the old days was
played with just 11 men.
For most of college football’s 115
years, the "60-minute men ” dominated
the sport, and it wasn’t until 1941,
when the fi'ee-substitution rule was
adopted, that there were full units of
specialists for offense and defense.
It was a mark of courage, toughness
and durability to play the entire game
in the old days and the entire game
actually was 90 minutes instead of 60
because the halves were 45 minutes,
not 30.
Substitutions were rare (most often
there were just 15 players on a team —
11 regulars and four substitutes) and a
substitute could only enter the game
when there was an injury.
On occasion, however, a tiring player
would be asked by his coach or captain
to feign an injury in order to get a fresh

Force was the name of the game and
the flying wedge was one of the most
popular plays.
One wonders how long college foot
ball would have survived as a college
sport had not President Theodore
Roosevelt intervened in the early 1900s
in the interests of safety and less brutal
play.
The story is told that Roosevelt
reacted in rage after seeing a photo
graph of an injured Swarthmore player
who had been the object of some particulairly rough play on the part of
Pennsylvania.
The sight of Bob Maxwell staggering
off the field caused Roosevelt to issue
an ultimatum to the football fathers of

there on Oct. 13, 1945, when the era of
"60-minute man” finally came to an end.
On that date, Michigan was sched
uled to play one of the greatest Army
teams of all time, led by Mr. Inside and
Mr. Outside, Glenn Davis and Doc
Blanchard.

the day;
"Clean up the game or it’ll be banned
by presidential edict.”
NUTE MEN
by Wayne DeNeff,
The Ann Arbor News
Led by Walter Camp, often called
’ The Father of Football,” the college
football people reacted quickly to
Roosevelt’s demand.
Here are some of the changes
instituted;
• Forward passing was legalized,
making the game more a game of skill.
• Mass interference plays were
eliminated.
• A neutral zone was established at
the line of scrimmage.
• The yardage for a first down was
increased from five yards to 10 yards.
So the game started to change fi'om a
pushing and shoving match to a game
of skills in which a knack for throwing
and catching the ball was as important
as wrestling an opponent in a mass of
bodies.
And legalization of the forward pass
created the glamour boy of football —
the quarterback.
Who were some of the great 60minute football players?
Almost every outstanding football
player from the birth of the game in
1869 to the free-substitution rule of
1941—Walter Camp, Pudge Heffelfinger,
Knute Rockne, Red Grange, Jim Thorpe,
Bronco Nagurski, Ernie Nevers, Alonzo
Stagg, Frank Hinkey, Willie Heston,
Chic Harley, and the list could go on
and on.
The rules makers added three little
words that made all the difference in
the world;
A substitute could enter the game "at
any time. ”
Previously, a player could not re
enter the game during the period in
which he had left.
There are times in athletics when an
innocent rule revision results in revo
lutionary changes of the sport itself. All
it takes is some ingenuity on the part of
the coaches.
And ingenuity, plus necessity, was
old, while Michigan Coach Fritz Crisler
was fielding a team of 17- and 18-yearold freshmen. Most of the older players
had been drafted into military service.
The week of the game. New York
sportswriters were calling Crisler’s
team "The Fuzz Kids” and the Cadets
were solid five-touchdown favorites.
Crisler figured there was no way he
was going to defeat Army with his best
11 against Army’s best 11, but his idea,
developed during a week of practice,
was to have one Michigan unit for
offense and one unit for defense.
It marked the beginning of two-pla
toon football.
Instead of 11 against 11, it would be
something like 22 Wolverines against
11 Cadets.
"When you have a dime and the
other guy has $1,000, ” said Crisler, "it’s
time to gamble. ”
The 70,000 spectators in Yankee
Stadium on that mid-October day
looked on in amazement as a whole
new group of Wolverines entered the
game when Michigan took over the
ball, and another new group entered
when the Wolverines went on defense.
Army scored the first two touch
downs to take a 14-0 lead but the col
lege football world was shocked when
Michigan became the first team to
score on Army that season and the lead
was trimmed to 14-7.
The harried Cadets finally scored
twice in the fourth quarter for a 28-7
victory, but Michigan’s amazing Wolver
ines were the talk of college football
that fall.
Crisler’s phone was ringing off the
hook the rest of that season as coaches
and sportswriters sought more infor
mation on the revolutionary way of
playing the game.
"Our only hope was to keep fresh
players in the game and play our best
tacklers on one unit and our best run
ners and blockers on the other unit,
said Crisler.
On that day the "60-minute man”
had passed into oblivion.

TODAY BELONGS TO JIM BEAM,
KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY, 80 PROOF, DISTIEEED AND BOTTLED BY LAMES B, BEAM DISTILLING CO,, CLERMONT. BEAM, KY,
, And Will Perry, a former SID who is
now assistant athletic director at
Michigan, answers,“An3^hing the ath
letic director wants him to do. Don
Canham had more ideas than I had
arms and legs. We launched vast
marketing, direct mail and advertising
programs out of the SID office in 1968
(before there were promotion and
marketing directors in athletic depart
ments). Canham once told CoSIDA
(College Sports Information Directors
of America) years ago, make yourself
valuable to the department or they are
going to hire someone to do the job that
you can do.’ That’s exactly what
happened. ”
In answer to the question, Hal Bate
man, the SID at the U.S. Air Force
Academy, sent a job summation written
by an anonymous SID:
The Sports Information Director
“He’s a phenom; a mental and physi
cal marvel. He must be able to eat like
Hoss Cartwright, drink like Dean
Martin, write like Grantland Rice and
have Bill Toomey’s stamina. El SID must
be as suave as Cary Grant, as unshak
able as John Wayne and as cool-headed
as James Bond...
“The Sports Publicity Man finishes
his duties at midnight and no one sees
him stumbling down the steps in the
dark, a typewriter under one arm, ditto
machine under the other, brief case in
his teeth and throbbing pain in his
head... So if it looks like a job for Su
perman, it is.’’
However, Mark D. Colone of the Uni
versity of North Carolina-Charlotte
offers another viewpoint: “When I first
walked into Marty Rasnake’s office aS a
fi'eshman I didn’t know what a SID was.
That’s how unnoticed our profession
is. I accepted a very small scholarship
and began my life in this rewarding
profession. My first job entailed the
simple job of shagging errant soccer
balls as they went out of bounds. And I
Went expecting to be the official scorer!
I got that job after the game and my ca
reer took off! I’m now the youngest SID
in Division I in the country.’’
One of the veterans. Bill Whitmore of
Rice, a CoSIDA past president who re
tired this summer, offered this philoso
phy: “’At least they let us in the game
fi'ee and give us a good seat and a meal.”
What does the SID do?
Maxey Parrish of Baylor answers:
“The question might be better posed,
‘What does the SID NOT do?’ Some
times when I look at what I do and what
it takes to do my job well, it’s almost
scary.
“Between press releases, statistics.
brochures, media guides, recruiting
material) posters, newsletters, hosting
events, travel to other events and gener
ally being the athletic department’s
representative to the public and the
media, the different duties pile up. But
the bottom line, in addition to doing all
the things normally associated with a
SID, is to be accessible and helpful. A
SID can have lots offaults but lack of ac
cessibility CANNOT be one of them. ”
“The increase in electronic media
coverage has made my job more diffi
cult now after 17years in the business,”
Bateman ofthe Air Force submits. “This
really has spread the SID very thin
since the print and electronic boys con
stantly are vying for the SID’s attention,
which puts you in a difficult situation. ”
George Wine, SID at the University of
Iowa, raises a point on a tough facet of
the job: ”At some schools the SID is to
service the coaches, not the media. For
tunately, I have always been able to
convince my bosses that I am an infor
mation person first and a publicist sec
ond. The campus phone book one year
listed me as 'Sports Informant’ which
sounds a little like Watergate’s “Deep
Throat.’ But that’s the toughest part of
the SID job.”
Johnny (Ranger) Keith, formerly of
O^ahoma U. and now at New Mexico,
agrees, adding, “Coaches think you are
solely a promoter of their athletes.
Maybe so, in a small way. But the title
Sports Information Director means to
me you’re a news service more than a
promotional tool.
"Probably the most important phase
of the job,” Keith adds, “is serving as a
liaison between coaches, athletes, staff
and the media, solving their differen
ces, explaining to one party why the
other does this or that, and getting the
parties together when necessary.
A sports information director who
goes home at 5 p.m. isn’t doing his job.
If I came home at 5 p.m. my wife would
shoot me for breaking and entering,”
Keith added.
David Housel of Auburn agrees, con
tributing, Too many SID’s are afraid of
losing their jobs. The good SID must act
as the middleman and he continually
walks a tight rope between the media
and the coach, defending the coach
when necessary. He must not be afraid
to tell a coach he is wrong. He — the SID
— is a paid professional and he is just
as important in his area of expertise as
coaches are in their areas.”
Not all SID’s have this problem. Mike
Treps of Oklahoma is a lucky one. "We
are fortunate in that our coaches do not
believe in closed practices or locker
rooms, so there is little trouble getting
anyone you need. The fact you cart
promise a writer or broadcaster he or
she can have access to the coach, or
athlete of their choice without having
to contact the coach or athlete is a big
help in my job. ”
Interviews, expecially with a great
star, can pose problems, as Claude
Felton of Georgia reminds in the case of
Herschel Walker.
“In Herschel’s freshman year, we
were receiving 12-15 interview requests
a day, fi'om all over the country, and 95
percent of them were for in-person in
terviews. Time was a premium, but one
writer from San Francisco flew to
Atlanta, drove 65 miles to Athens,
talked to Herschel for 20 minutes, and
flew back home,” Felton marveled.
It’s the unusual which makes the SID
job interesting, or heartbreaking.
Jim Garner, now athletic director at
Appalachian State but formerly SID at
Texas Christian, admits, “My most
memorable moments deal with
tragedy. In 1971, our head football
coach, Jim Pittman, died on the side
lines of a heart attack during a game at
Waco; in the spring of 1972, his replace
ment, Billy Tohill, had a terrible auto ac
cident and had a foot amputated, .^nd
in 1974 halfback Kent Waldrep suffered
a paralyzing injury in a game against
Alabama. In each case, handling the
media called for special tact.”
Mike Wilson of Washington re
members a not-so-tragic incident in
volving Bob Murphy of Stanford.
“While there are many stories of
coaches leaving the SID’s at the airport,
Murphy did one better, ” Mike contrib
utes. “In the days before hijackings, it
was not uncommon for the SID to drive
his car loaded with media people right
on the runway, unload and have the air
line people turn the car in to the rental
agency at the airport. That’s exactly
what Murphy did, and it wasn’t until
the plane was 10,000 feet off the ground
he realized he still had the rental car
keys in his pocket. He never heard how
they got that car off the runway.”
But maybe the biggest crisis was
faced by Marv Homan of Ohio State,
who reminds: "I was an assistant in the
mid-’50s and the Big Ten Skywriters
were making their visit to Columbus. As
I was greeting the writers as they left
the bus for our practice, some of the
early departures were coming back.
Coach Woody Hayes had barred the
gates for the press. Eventually, Woody
left practice and talked to the writers,
but the reception was short of cordial.”

Nick Vista of Michigan State still
shudders over one of his embarrassing
moments.
"It was Michigan State-Ohio State on
national TV in 1972 when I was assis
tant to Fred Stabley, ” Nick shuddered.
"For the first time in my career, I didn’t
check the uniform numbers. We launch
a drive and I'm on the lower photo deck
when it appears our drive is stalled and
we ll kick a field goal. I spot a No. 5
warming up and I suddenly realize we
don’t have a No.>5 on the roster. Much to
my horror, I realize it’s a soccer player
of Dutch descent brought up by Duffy
late in the week from the junior varsity.
His name is Dirk Kryt. I knew I had the
J.V roster in my brief case, but by the
time I got there Dirk had booted a 23yard field goal, the first of four he was to
kick that afternoon.
"We finally got the word to everyone
who the kicker was, but we didn’t have
the name spelled right nor did we pro
nounce it correctly. Keith Jackson
never lets me forget that error. ” '
Publicity men get blamed for many
things, but Haywood Harris of Tennes
see takes the prize.
"It was my duty to see the bus was at
the airport when the team arrived on
Friday afternoon, ” he admits. "But
when the team was aboard, the bus
wouldn’t start. The driver gave the
coach the bad news the fan belt was
broken.
"The coach yelled. Hey, Haywood,
didn’t you check the fan belt?’ and the
only retort I could make was a weak,
'Well, coach, it was working last time I
looked. ”’
Jack Zane of Maryland won’t forget
the night the lights went out in Virginia,
either.
"When I was at George Washington,
we played a few games in Alexandria
and Arlington, Va.,’’ he prompted. ‘We
were playing The Citadel and had the
papers all on Saturday night deadlines.
The moment the 12,000 fans left the sta
dium, all the lights were turned offi The
stadium manager informed me we had
rented the stadium for the game and
the game was over. It took a little cash to
get the lights on for the press box.
"The Oyster Bowl stadium in Norfolk
had the Telex machines on the ground
floor and the press stories were sent
down by pneumatic tubes. I went to the
Western Union with some special in
structions, only to find no copy had
come down the tubes, the containers
being stuck between floors. Everyone
had to start writing all over.’’
Ralph Carpenter, of Texas A & M, but
then of Texas Tech, remembers a
smashing experience, “The athletic di

rector and I were planning to take a
plane from Lubbock to Dallas and as
usual, we were late starting. In haste to
get his bags in the car, I left my suitcase
right behind the rear wheel and when
we backed out... Well, you should see
me walking through the lobby with my
Fruit of the Loom undies.hanging out of
the battered bag.”
Will Perry recalled the time the
county health inspector closed all the
concessions in the Michigan stadium,
including the stand which sent the box
lunches for the writers in the press box.
He also mentions the case of the miss
ing pencil sharpener in the press box.
"Everything was in order, until Joe
Falls from the Free Press complained
about the lack of a pencil sharpener,
and sure enough, someone had stolen
it, just as someone had from my pre
decessor, Les Etter, years before,” Will
recalled.
There are many stories of the SID
facing a frozen mimeograph machine,
but legend says it was Wilbur Snypp of
Ohio State who solved the problem by
pouring a fifth of vodka into the frozen
ink well and everything came out fine.
Butch Henry of Arizona and formerly
at Arkansas points out the hardships of
a family-man SID.
"Our first child was born on a Satur
day in October. My wife came out of the
delivery room, we named the child and
I caught the plane for Dayton and
walked into the press box as they were
playing the National Anthem. Our sec
ond child was born on the last day of
the Arkansas Relays.
"My wife called the press box to say
she was ready to go to the hospital.
Soon as the prelims of the mile relay
were over I rushed home, took her to
the hospital and told her, ‘Hang on un
til the mile relay finals are over.’
"Sure enough, I saw the winning
team break the tape and still made it to
the delivery room on time. Maybe this
is why we have only two children,”
Butch laughed.
Maybe the best answer to "What does
the SID do?” was supplied by Rich
Brewer: "I got a phone call from a guy in
Norfolk who told me he was interested
in replacing me at Carolina and wanted
to know who he should contact about
it. He was quite seripus and said he was
tired of his job and liked Chapel Hill.
"Then he asked the key question:
What exactly do you do?’ I couldn’t
answer him then and I can’t now. ”
Vista, also a former CoSIDA presi
dent, sums it up: "Write what you want,
but please remember that we couldn’t
be in a more exciting or rewarding busi
ness. Working with the thousands of
fine student-athletes over theyears and
meeting the hundreds of media folks
has been something. We may not get
our glory, or our pay, or even our just
return, but kicks we do get to boot.”^

CONFERENCE COMMISSIONER
continued
"kicked upstairs” and could be a good
ol’ boy commissioner who showed up
every Saturday in the fall at a different
football stadium and at the conference
meeting in the spring.
I was the youngest commissioner in
the nation when I started in the Big
Eight Conference at age 34,” says
Wayne Duke of the Big Ten. "I thought I
knew all the answers, but found out I
didn’t know half the questions.”
Managing and maintaining peace in
a conference is often revvarding, often
frustrating in the ever-changing world
of collegiate athletics. Indeed, because
so many decisions are made in the
courtroom these days, a law degree
might be helpful. And with television’s
megabucks being such an integral part
of the sports scene, a commissioner
had better loiow about such things as
ratings, markets and contracts, and be
on a first-name basis with network
executives.
The role of commissioner has ex
panded considerably in recent years,”
says Dick Martin of the Missouri Valley
Conference. "A commissioner must be
involved with TV, promotion and mar
keting much more now. Frankly, much
of my time is spent on TV.
"Then there are such things as eligi
bility and enforcement, which are very
important. There are more issues to
day, such as financial pressures on
institutions.”
Martin served in various athletic
capacities to prepare himself to be
a commissioner. He was a high school
and college football coach, a college
athletic director and was a Big Eight
administrator.

tion and was commissioner of the Big
Eight before going to the Big Ten.
One thing Duke, or any other com
missioner, can’t be is a fan.
I m not an Iowa Hawkeye, a Michi
gan Wolverine or a Wisconsin Badger, ”
says Duke. "I’m all those people. Every
one must realize that what a commis
sioner does is for the common good.
I actually consider myself a very pri
vate person, but as commissioner of the
Big Ten I feel I’m working in a fishbowl.
We re sitting in a very large geographi
cal base, which means we have a large
number of followers, as well as some
critics.
Even though I’m a sensitive person,
I can accept the criticism of people if
they know what we as a conference are
doing is for the good of all 10 teams. ”
Duke feels commissioners are often
given too much credit when something
good happens and too much blame
when something not so good happens.
"We have a lot of influence at such
things as NCAA meetings, but have
different roles,” Duke commented. "I
hope people respect me for what I say.
But I feel I don’t carry any more weight
than the commissioner of any other
conference.”
Duke is in charge of a conference of
fice that employs 18 persons. The Big
Ten, with its lucrative Rose bowl con
tract and its ability to put an unusual
number of teams in other bowl games
and national basketball tournaments,
is viewed with envy around the country.
Although Duke won’t say so, much of
the reason the Big Ten has fared so well
in those areas is because of him and his
years of experience in working with in
fluential persons at the national level.
By the same token, there also may be

had.
"I know my job is much mdre com
plex than it was years ago, ” said Duke.
"In the old days, a football man might
be moved upstairs to the conference of
fice to assign officials for games, and
that was about all there was to his job.’’
Fred Jacoby was commissioner of the
.the Mid-American Conference from
1971-82, and has been in charge of the
Southwest Conference ever since.
"My feeling is that a conference office
has two functions—service and regula
tion, ” says Jacoby, who adds that his
job is "on my mind seven days a week. ”
Jacoby wishes he had more time to
digest all the things there are to read in
regard to his job. He spends a consid
erable amount of time talking on the
telephone about rules and the interpre
tation of them. Every night he takes
home a briefcase filled with materials
he hasn’t had time to deal with in his
office.
"We have nine men’s sports and
eight women’s sports in the Southwest
Conference,’’ Jacoby said, "and finan
cing is a very big item. We make money
from football, TV, the conference post
season basketball tournament and a lit
tle from baseball in men’s sports, but
the women have no sports in which re
ceipts exceed expenses.’’
Because Jacoby spent many years as
a coach, he admits having a "sensitivity
to coaches and the recruiting process.
It would help to have a law background
so you could understand the legal pro
cess,’’ he said. "The job is more difficult
than it was in the 1970s because of so
many legal matters.
But I think those of us who have a
background in coaching have an advan
tage in being a commissioner. I can re
late to the coach’s position.’’
Jacoby said the most dramatic
change in the commissioner’s job has
been the growth of women’s programs.
He feels there are more rewards than
frustrations on the job "because there’s
so much variety."
Variety is something Tom Hansen of
the Pac-10 is used to. Hansen, who has
been executive director of the Pac-10
since August of 1983, spent 15 years on
the staff of the National Collegiate Ath
letic Association (NCAA) where he was
involved in all facets of the admini
stration of intercollegiate athletics. As
Fred Jacoby
Commissioner —
Southwest Conference
head of the NCAA Communication De
partment he directed, among other
things, all the Association’s activities in
public relations and marketing.
Hansen’s appointment at the Pac-10
is a kind of "coming home,” since he
spent six years in the 1960s as director
of public relations for the Athletic Asso
ciation of Western Universities — the
forerunner of the Pacific-10 Conference.
"I have found that being executive
director or commissioner of a major
conference is one of the most chal
lenging and invigorating positions in
the world of athletic administration,”
said Hansen. "The primary charge is to
provide service and leadership to the
member institutions of the conference.
But there are many publics to be served.
While we are primarily concerned with
the administration of athletic programs,
it must be remembered that these pro
grams fall within the larger context of
higher education, in the case of the
Pac-10 some of the country’s foremost
institutions of higher learning. You
also are operating in the very real world
of-business, and in this day and age, a
solid grasp of both fiscal and legal
matters are a necessity. All of this is
done under the glare of considerable
attention. In short, you wear many hats.”
Steve Hatchell, commissioner of the
Metropolitan Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference, commonly called the
Metro, would like to be a fan, but knows
he can’t.
‘You go to a game and cheer for the
guys wearing the black and white shirts
—the officials, ” said Hatchell. "You
hope they make all the right calls.”
The Metro is primarily a basketball
conference, but all the schools play
football on an indepehdent basis. In a
way, it surprised Hatchell that he was
picked for the job l^st year.
"At my age (36), L didn’t think there
would be much opportunity to be a
commissioner, ” said Hatchell, who was
in the Big Eight office at the time. "But
the Metro expressed an interest in me,
and I pursued the job.”
Patty Viverito took office as the first
commissioner of the women’s Gateway
Collegiate Athletic Conference two
years ago, and calls it a "fun job — the
most rewarding I’ve ever had.”
Viverito studied marketing in college,
worked as a sales representative, went
back to college to study sports manage
ment and calls herself a "frustrated
jock.”
"You serve as a mediator,” she says.
"We have 10 schools and nine sports. At
national meetings, women are starting
to be noticed. When those running the
meetii^gs see five or six skirts in the
room, they say, 'Well, now, howwill this
ruling concern women?’ It used to be
that women weren’t really heard from. ”
The biggest change for Lou McCul
lough, commissioner of the TransAmerica Conference — primarily a
basketball league — is that now he is re
sponsible for 10 teams instead of one.
Before going to the Trans-America, he
was the athletic director at Iowa State.
"We’re a small conference,” said
McCullough, "and money is our big
problem.”
Ken Free is commissioner of the Mid
eastern Athletic Conference. He thinks .
commissioners must be marketing ex
perts more than in the past. "You have
to be a super-salesman, ” Free said, “in
order to bring in the needed revenue.”
Free said much qf his job entails
"making sure our schools play by the
rules and continue in the pursuit of
excellence.”

called Mayberry RF3D.
Twenty years ago, Butkus never
dreamed television dreams. In 1964, all
that mattered to him was winning. Being
an All-America didn’t give him the rush
it had the previous autumn.
“It wasn’t that big a deal,” he remem
bers. “I was an All-America my junior
year (1963) and we went to the Rose
Bowl. In 1964, we were picked to win
the Big Ten, but at that time, you
couldn’t repeat as the conference rep

"We got off to a bad start our senior
year. It was a pretty disappointing sea
son for us.”
Far more disappointing perhaps
than last season and the end of “Blue
Thunder.”
" 'Blue Thunder’ ’ ’ was a good oppor
tunity,” he said. “I took it because it was
good experience and to show that I was
serious about television and about
acting. I decided that maybe two years
ago. I wasn’t thinking about making it a
career until then.
“But I began to realize that I really
liked the little bit of acting I had done
and I just decided to move everybody
out here to California. So far it’s worked
out. I’m considering various offers for
the next television season and there
might be a movie deal coming up too.”
And the beer commercials.
“Oh, yeah. I just shot another one. ”
And now back to Dallas.
Dallas is the real life address of Ralph
Neely, who runs Ralph Neely and
Associates, a real estate development
corporation. Neely, a Cowboy for his
entire career, played the game so well
he joined Butkus and Sayers on the Pro
Football Hall of Fame selection com
mittee’s all-pro team of the 1960s.
Unlike Butkus, being an All-America
at Oklahoma in 1964 made a great deal
of difference in Neely’s future.
“It was one of the real big deals that
happened to me sports-wise, ” Neely
remembers. "I hadn’t thought about
playing football professionally until I
got to college. I went there to get an
education. I always thought that if foot
ball came along, it came along.
"Well, it came along and I played 13
years professionally, but I didn’t know
if I could make it at one point. ”
Rick Redman was a force at Washing
ton In 1964.
All-America wide receiver Jack Snow
was a standout at Notre Dame.
Help^g to assuage Neely’s fears was
his 19^4 All-America selection at offen
sive tackle. You see, he knew he could
play defense, because he’d been selected
All-America at defensive tackle in 1963.
"In 19631 played both ways, actually, ”
Neely said. “ I averaged 50 minutes a
game or something like that. In 1964,
they put in the free substitution rule
and the coaches told me they were
going to move me to offense and keep
me there. ”
The 1964 season was not a particu

"I guess if you really want to put it in
perspective, that was a big deal,” said
Frederickson. “I wasn’t expecting any
thing like that, but I wound up being
the first player taken in the draft by the
Giants. ”
The Giants selected a running back
who would have a fine rookie season.
But Frederickson had knee surgery in
each of the next two seasons and had a
very painful time hanging on until 1971,
when his career ended.
“I guess being an All-America had a
lot to do with me coming to New York
and getting into New York business and
into New York life,” Frederickson said.
“Those things are very important to me
now.”
In 1963, football was very important
to Notre Dame. It just didn’t look that
way. And that’s why what happened at
South Bend 20 years ago this fall seems
so incredible.
Ara Parseghian was Notre Dame’s
new coach charged with shaking down
some of the old thunder.
Hugh Devore, in one miserable year
at the helm, had gone 2-7. Joe Kuharich,
in the four years previous, did not pro
duce a single winning team. In the
three years prior to the arrival of Par
seghian, Notre Dame never had to worry
about the strength of its bench, specifi
cally because the condition of its
starters was plenty enough to produce
widespread handwringing.
Yet from that same virtually useless
bench, Parseghian would excavate two
players who would not only become AllAmerica, but who would spark Notre
Dame to a national championship in the
process.
They were wide receiver Jack Snow
and quarterback John Huarte.
“Being an All-America in that season
is something I’ll always remember be
cause of what transpired in that year, ”
said Snow, who does color commen
tary for CBS college telecasts and works
for IDB, a building and developing com

much until that year. To accomplish as
much as we did accomplish that sea
son was really something. And it was
something to come off the bench and

It wasn’t until their final game at USC
that the Irish stumbled.
“Typical USC stuff, ” Snow said. “We
were No. 1 and unbeaten. We led at the
half 17-0 and lost 20-17. ”
Nonetheless, Notre Dame was given
the MacArthur Bowl as the nation’s top
team at season’s end.
"It was just remarkable because we
were under a new coach with a lot of
new players who had never played to

rom the beginning, we had grass,
those soft green blades to carpet
our land, and most importantly,
our athletic arenas.
Grass had personality. You could
grow it, cut it, shape it, even vary the
shades of it to suit any whim, not to
mention athletic ability. Fast teams
were into the crew cut. Slow teams
were into the rarely cut. Accusations
inevitably were levied. Advantages were
gained, albeit they were mostly
psychological.
Then, as we explored space, got into
synthetics and were enamored with
the creation of artificial substitutes for
milk, potatoes, sweetners and whatnot,
grass was no exception. We created
artificial grass for our athletic arenas
first, then for our very own porches.
Artificial turf had no personality. You
couldn’t grow it, you laid it. You
couldn’t cut it or shape it, you sewed it.
And only wear and tear and exposure to

the sun varied the shade of factory
green. Fast teams insisted they became
faster, but bad teams rarely became
better. It became a status symbol, as do
most artificial substitutes.
But now, in the year foretold by
George Orwell, with Big Brother still a
little ways off, the rush for artificial sur
faces in college football has entered its
remission stage. Since we’ve grown so
accustomed to this stuff which does
not grow, it no longer is a telltale differ
ence — if it ever really was.
Going into this 1984 season, in Divi
sion I-A football alone 56 schools play
their football on artificial turf, while the
other 48 still play on the much more
traditional grass. There is no rhjmie or
reason as to who has it or who doesn’t
— nothing to do with geographical
location, quality of football or financial
assets.

even split, five on

Southwest Conference, it’s a clean
sweep for artificial turf, while in the At
lantic Coast Conference, grass fields
hold a 6-2 advantage. In the Southeast
ern Conference, six of the 10 teams play
on the real thing.
^ ^
In fact, one southern school has gone
in the opposite direction, digging up its
artificial turf to replant grass
^
Jt was a situation in which the wear
and tear on the field was not that im
portant, ” said the school’s athletic
director, pointing out that half his
school’s home games were played in a
arger city 160 miles down the road.
And when we looked at our schedule
we realized we had been playing on
grass more than artificial turf
"And maybe most of all, our climate
here is veiy conducive to growing
grass,” he said.
®
^
There were some financial considerations, too. The existing artificial turf
had been down eight years, and the
fibers were wearing thin. So was trac
tion. It had been the second carpet laid
since 1970. It was time for a third.
To replace the artificial turf would
have cost roughly $475,000, and that
did not include the possibility of having
to replace the seven-to-eight inches of
asphalt padding underneath. If that
had been the case, the cost would have
nearly doubled.
Vet to dig up the existing turf and
padding and sprig a field of grass —
akin to a hair transplant - the cost ran
roughly $350,000. But then, too, you
upkeep of the
grass field. The artificial turf costs next
to nothing, except for a little white
wash on the lines and maybe a new
carpet every eight years or so. Mainten
ance of the grass field - watering, fertiizing and cutting — is estimated torun
roughly $10,000 ayear, but much of that
IS already being paid for the upkeep of
existing grass practice fields.
There was another consideration.
Heat Southern fall afternoons are not
much different than August after
noons. It is no secret that these artifi
cial turfs conduct heat, so when it’s 90
degrees outside, on the playing field it’s
liable to be upwards of 120 degrees
If you have artificial turf in the South
you should be playing at night ” said a
southern college coach. "Grass is
cooler, and I do like that aspect ”

THE
ONE-BACK OFFENSE
Why Don't We See More of it in Coliege Football?
I»y Joe McLaughlin
Houston Chronicle
he One-back Offense in college
football, up to the present time,
has been about as scarce as the
whooping crane.
An offense which has been employed
almost exclusively by the professionals
has never made much of an impression
in college football.
Why? To begin with, college coaches
have stubbornly adhered to the belief
T
DBliDj
with some justification, that passing
teams don’t win championships. And,
the One-back Offense is basically a
passing formation.
Historically, coaches have been cor
rect in their assumptions. One would
be hard-pressed to name a national
champion or, in most cases, a confer
ence champion which was an advocate
of the One-back Offense.
College coaches, in the main, have
stuck to the premise that three things
can happen when you throw the foot
ball, and two of them are bad.
Proponents of the One-back Offense,
however, point out legitimate reasons
why this thinking has been prevalent.
One coach says, “College football has
always been trendy. One team will

THE ONE-BACK OFFENSE
concept has been
that if you are throwing the ball a lot,
you are usually behind and tiying to
catch up. And passing is the quickest
way to do it.
One-back Offense theories explain
the difference: “The philosophy is this, ”
says one coach. “You go into the game
with the idea that you want to throw
tri6 ball; not that you hBve to.
There are three ways to throw the
ball: (1) down field; (2) control passing;
and (3) option passing. The ideal is to
control the ball by passing, much like
running teams control it on the
ground.
“You can’t run the One-back Offense
without a good, sharp quarterback,”
the coach continued, “because his
hands are on the ball all the time. It's
the most quarterback offense’ in
football.
“A lot of coaches don’t want that
much pressure on one man. But a sharp
quarterback can handle it. That has
been proven. The key is for your quar
terback to control the ball, have a good
defense and not to revert to running
when you get close to scoring.
You tiy to let your predominant
ballcarrier have the ball. You get four
receivers out real quickly, spreading
the other team’s defense. You hope to
catch the defense in a lot of one-on-one
situations.
"Once again, to control the ball passthrow high-percentage passes
and don’t often go deep down field.
First of all, the coaches must believe
m the offense and your kids must be
lieve in it. It is a sound offense if it is
organized properly.”
Run properly, the One-back Offense
IS highly effective, proponents claim.
In the first place, ” says one coach,
not niany people can just line up and
blow the opponent’s defense away. It is
easier to teach pass blocking, especially
since the rules have changed where an
offensive lineman can use his hands if
he is in a retreat block or giving ground.
That s one reason even predominant
running teams now are throwing more.”
Most college coaches agree that the
day is gone when one team can line up
and simply overpower another one

come out with something new, have
some success with it, and all of a sud
den everyone is trying it. It happened
that way with all the offenses — the
Single and Double Wings, the Split
Backs, the Veer, the Wishbone, the I
and the Multiple Offense.
If a few more teams start having
s^e success with the One-back
Offense, you will see more college
coaches turning to it.”

week m and week out. Consequently,
the traditional running teams are now
passing more.
"One reason for that, ” a coach says,
IS that everybody is putting their best
athletes on defense, and the offense
has to find new ways to move the ball ”
Another coach says, "If a One-back
Offense team knows what it is doing.
It s the hardest to defense. With four
receivers going out, a defense generally
can take two of them away, but with
four it’s tough.
■Then they say. Well, the defense
then ^11 put seven defensive backs
into the game.’ That’s what you would
love to see if you are a One-back
offensive coach. That way you have the
other people guessing all the time.
Then you can come back with your
traps, draws, counters and sweeps It’s
a constant cat-and-mouse game ”
eall^ a team will pass about 50 per
cent of the time in a One-back Offense
If you are throwing 75 percent of the
ime, you re usually tiying to catch up.
Many passing teams get the ball in
scoring position and then turn to the
run, and most often, fail. The key to the
One-bacl^is that you start with the pass
and y^ finish with it. ”
"Perhaps the most successful passing
team in the college ranks is Brigham
Young University, says one coach. “They
are not strictly a One-back Offense, even
though their philosophy is similar. A
lot of the West Coast teams are using it
more-probably more than any other
section of the country.”
Like most changes in college football
strategy the popularity of One-back
Offense has developed at many places
because of necessity. Most teams don’t,
and can’t, line up and beat a Texas or a
Penn State head to head. It’s a fact of
life. Consequently, coaches are trying
to find new ways to balance those
inequities.
As one coach put it, “The One-back
Offense is becoming more popular in
college. But you still have to have key
personnel in any offense. There is no
real answer to all the problems, be
cause there is none.”
But the One-back Offense is another
exciting chapter in the game.

Bob Klingler begins his 18th 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 registered physical therapist in
1954. He later received his M.S. from Bucknell. Prior
to accepting his Edinboro 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. His cinder and cage teams never experienced
a losing season while his football eleven would
consistently garner winning charts in the powerful
Capitol Conference. "Doc" has provided the Edinboro
athletic program with high quality student trainers
who have gone on to distinguish themselves in the
profession after graduation from college. Bob and his
daughter, Julie, make their home in nearby Washing

*title game ended in a tie
The Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference is one of
the few leagues in the nation to sponsor a championship
game in football. The East vs. West conference champion
ship game, known as the "State Game,” has been in
existence since 1960. Mythical champions were picked by
sportswriters from 1934 until 1950 with the champion
determined by the Saylor system from 1951 until 1959.
All members of the conference (with individual sports
exceptions) compete at the NCAA Division II level and have
since 1980. Athletes and teams have won numerous
honors in national competitions over the years and have
helped the PSAC become one of the most respected "small
college" conferences in the nation.
A list of member schools with their football affiliation
includes: Eastern Division — Bloomsburg University,
Cheyney University, East Stroudsburg University, Kutztown University, Mansfield University, Millersville Uni
versity, West Chester University; Western Division —
California University, Clarion University, Edinboro Uni
versity, Indiana University, Lock Haven University, Shippensburg University, Slippery Rock University.

After 125 years of service to the tri-state area, Edin-
educational needs of its region from both a professional
and cultural standpoint, Edinboro now makes contributions
in the fields of education, government, environmental
improvement, urban and rural problems, crime prevention,
and service to business and industry. Recent program
developments include those in the high-demand areas of
allied health, business administration, communication,
computer technology, nursing, and various pre-profes
sional offerings such as law, dentistry, medicine, pharmacy
and veterinary science. Numerous student internships
provide additional examples of the University's efforts to
create a close working relationship with the people it
serves while, at the same time, offering students intel
lectual and career opportunities.
Edinboro has initiated the University Honors Program
to provide challenging and enriched learning experiences
for academically gifted students. Undergraduate students
are encouraged to strive for academic excellence both in
their major fields and in other disciplines. Honors students
pursue studies that are greater in depth and scope than
those required of other undergraduates.
boro experienced its most significant change in history on
July 1, 1983, when the College became Edinboro Univer
sity of Pennsylvania. Founded as a private academy in
1857, Edinboro University has continued its surge to the
forefront as one of the leading educational institutions in
western Pennsylvania. Situated on a sprawling 585-acre
campus in the scenic resort community of Edinboro, the
University is within 100 miles of the educational and
cultural centers of Buffalo, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh. It is
just 15 miles south of Erie, the third largest city in
Pennsylvania, and easily accessible from all directions by
interstates 79, 80 and 90.
Edinboro has the distinction of being the second
normal school established in Pennsylvania and the 12th in
the United States. It has grown to more than forty buildings
including the 350,000-volume Baron-Forness Library, a
modern seven-story structure which serves as a focal point
for the spacious campus. Nearly 6,000 students repre
senting almost every county in the Commonwealth, as well
as numerous states and foreign countries attend Edinboro.
Its tradition of educational service and research is matched
by a distinguished faculty, more than two-thirds of whom
have earned doctoral degrees.
The University now offers more than 100 under
graduate, graduate, and associate degree programs, a
diversity unmatched by any other college or university in
northwestern Pennsylvania. While seeking to meet the

GOLDEN EAGLE OUTLOOK
The defending Pennsylvania Conference champions
feature four returning All-Americans in tailback Elton
Brown, wide receiver Terry McFetridge, middle guard
Kevin Ewing, and defensive end Jon Haslett to lead the way
for second-year coach Gene Sobolewski. The Eagles can
strike through the air with junior quarterback Pat Carbol
who totaled 1,688 yards in the passing lanes with 14 TD
strikes to his credit. On the receiving end of most Carbol
pitches was Terry McFetridge, the recipient of 50 aerials for
945 yards and 11 tallies. Brown, an AP First Team pick,
should give the Golden Ones all the firepower they need on
the ground after churning out 1,2M yards and 11 TD's as
the conference s leading rushw a year ago. Comple
menting him in the potent Clarion offense is All-PC West
tailback Geoff Alexander. Ewing, with his team leading 139
tackles and Haslett, who contributed 99 hits and 17 sacks,
form the nucleus of another stubborn Eagle defense.

Edinboro University will strive to maintain runnerup honors in the PC's Western Division race today
when the 5-1 Scots host Clarion, last year's Penn
sylvania Conference champions. The Scots re
bounded for their first ever win over East Strouds
burg with a 40-20 scalping of the Warriors after
being ambushed at Indiana the previous Saturday.
Clarion, ranked sixth in the nation two weeks
ago, is striving to regroup following back-to-back
league losses at the hands of Slippery Rock and
Indiana, now the division leader with a perfect 3-0
mark. Coach Gene Sobolewski's Golden Eagles are
4-2 overall and carry a 2-2 slate in divisional play.
"Clarion is one of those conference schools
located very close to us which just makes for a
natural rivalry," explained 'Boro boss Denny Creehan. Last year we upset them when they were
undefeated and ranked third nationally. They'll
remember that and would like to return the favor by
spoiling our homecoming," added Creehan.
The Golden Eagles balanced offensive attack is
spearheaded on the ground by All-American tailback
Elton Brown, who is averaging almost 90 yards per
game, and in the air by quarterback Pat Carbol, who
has tossed for 936 yards and eight TD's. Brown was
the conference's leading rusher a year ago and teams
with Geoff Alexander, the Golden Ones' second best
runner with a 50 yards per game output.
Carbol's favorite target, Terry McFetridge, has
been sidelined by nagging injuries and will most
likely remain out of action against the Scots. He
caught 50 passes for 945 yards last fall and has been
replaced by Bob Green, the current owner of 27
receptions to total an impressive 588 yards and three
scores.
The Golden Eagle defense looks to All-American
mention winner Kevin Ewing at middle guard who
heads the tackle charts via 79 hits with his next stop
notching the 400th of his career.
Edinboro got its offense back in high gear with
the win over East Stroudsburg and the Scots now
score at a 31.7 rate behind their 421 yards per game
output.
Senior quarterback Blair Hrovat, who has passed
for 4,520 career yards, has hooked up on 62 of 124
tosses for 934 yards and 15 touchdowns in six
games. His present total includes 43 scoring tosses
during his stint with the Scots, just two shy of the
conference record.
Hrovat usually looks for the threesome of half
backs Bob Klenk (18 receptions, 168 yards), split end
Erie Bosley (16 receptions, 372 yards) and halfback
Damon Chambers (13 receptions, 189 yards). On the
ground where the Scots have chewed up real estate
at a 260-yard pace per outing, Edinboro's top turf
fearers out of the Wing-T attack are fullback Ray
Rhodes (414 yards). Chambers (400 yards), and
Ray Rhodes
Ray Bracy
Sean Henderson
Hrovat (213 yards) who rely on blocking halfback
Mitchell Kelly to pave the way.
Sophomore placekicker Jim Trueman continues
to topple EUP records and leads the team in scoring
with 40 points. His61 PAT points surpassed the mark
of 57 while his string of 27 straight challenge the
existing standard of 29 consecutive PAT boots.
Edinboro's top two hopefuls for conference
honors as defensive standouts, linebacker Willie
Chealey and tackle Rick Jordan, were sidelined last
week. Both are expected to be ready for the Clarion
fray. End John Brenneman is the Scots top tackier
with 38 stops followed by Chealey (36), strong safety
Matt Robinson (34), linebacker Stan Tomajko (31),
and middle guard Sean Henderson (26). Ray Bracy's
five interceptions and Martelle Betters' four aerial
thefts headline a secondary that has picked off 15
passes.

OFFENSE POINT POTENT AGAIN

290 PLUM STREET • EDINBORO, PA • 734-4600
-OPEN-
SUNDAY-THURSDAY 6 a.m. to Midnight
Cdinboro University hopes to maintain its "offensive"
reputation on the football field in 1984 as Coach Denny
Creehan's Fighting Scots strive to continue the pace which
made them one of the most explosive grid squads in the
nation. The Scots, who return 13 starters and 30 lettermen,
finished second nationally in offense among the NCAA's
Division II competitors last year after averaging a record
shattering 41.2 points and 461 yards per game. Enroute to
an 8-2 season, Edinboro climbed to eighth in the polls at
one point and registered 21 new school marks while tying 3
others.
"If it's the skill people who make the offense go, then
we should have productive results," predicted Creehan
whose clubs have been winners in 20 of their last 24
outings. "But if it's the interior line that makes it go, then
we might have some question marks," cautioned the sixthyear Boro mentor.
"As far as the defense is concerned, we'll be solid at all
11 positions if we get the same kind of play out of our ends
that we did last year," Creehan continued. "Tom Herman
(defensive coordinator) has always managed to develop a
defensive unit that's traditionally very tough and we're
counting on him to give us another aggressive, but
disciplined bunch of players," he added.
"You have to have a lot of talent and some luck to win
in our conference anymore," Creehan offered. "It has
become a real meat grinder. Giving anyone a decided edge
is difficult but Clarion has 17 starters back and, on paper,
Indiana has had the best two recruiting years in a row," the
Scot coach indicated.
Giving Edinboro the inside track to be point potent
again is one of the country's most accurate passers in
senior quarterback Blair Hrovat (Northfield, OH). The
talented field general directed a high-powered wing-T
offense that netted 4,611 yards while accounting for 10
new records that included career plays (686), season
passing attempts (181), season total offense (1,938),
career total offense (4,244), season completions (99), game
completions (18), career touchdown passes (35), season
touchdown passes (19), career passing (3,586), and game
touchdown passes (4). Hrovat, who now owns 14
Edinboro grid records, finished second nationally (NCAA II)
in passing efficiency last year by connecting on 99 of 181
attempts for a sparkling 54.7 percentage.
"Blair deserves All-America recognition if he con
tinues his pace," stated Creehan. "He's already the top
passer in our school's history and this year he should finish
among the all-time Conference leaders," the Scot coach
projected.
Waiting to make his mark at the quarterback slot is
talented sophomore Scott Dodds (Beaver, PA) who,
Creehan concedes, would probably be a starter playing for
anyone else. "We will definitely play Scott because he's
that good and deserving of the chance," revealed Creehan
after electing to redshirt the promising signal caller last fall.
Augmenting Hrovat's aerial attack is a relentless
ground game spearheaded by halfbacks Bob Klenk (Pitts
burgh, PA) and Damon Chambers (Willingboro, NJ), who
churned out more than 500 yards each last year. Klenk
threaded his way for 517 yards, led the Pennsylvania
Conference in scoring with 76 points and was the sixth top
scorer in the nation while Chambers sped for 507 yards and
ranked third in the team's scoring parade with 8 touch
downs.
Center Buddy Carroll and tackle Rick Rosenburg, a
Steeler signee, have graduated leaving Dorn Grande (Pitts
burgh, PA), a 6-0, 250-pound left guard, the heir apparent
to their leadership roles. Joining him are tackles Mark
Wallace (6-3, 225, Uniontown, PA) and Jim Ritt (6-4, 255,
Chesterland, OH) who bring game experience up front with
right guard Scott Weinhold (6-4, 240, Pittsburgh, PA). The
early nod at center goes to Mark Merritt (5-11, 245,
Industry, PA), but Dave Higham (6-2, 240, Hubbard, OH) is
pushing for a full-time job. Tackle Jim Britt (6-4, 260,
Girard, OH) in addition to guards Frank Lucca (6-3, 240,
Mentor, OH), and Dave Nye (6-0, 225, Windsor, OH) are all
challenging for regular duty.
"The only other variable we have to figure on
offensively is the period of adjustment which is inevitable
in a coaching change," said Creehan. The Scot mentor was
referring to the recent addition of Jerry Gallagher as the
team's offensive coordinator after John D'Ottavio accepted
a post with the USFL's New Jersey Generals. Gallagher,
however, is a D'Ottavio disciple and also a well-schooled
enthusiast of the wing-T philosophy.
Not to be denied their share of the limelight is a
defensive unit that ranked eighth among the nation's
leaders in rushing defense with a mere 65.6 yards per
game allowance. The figure ranked as the second best
mark in Edinboro's history and helped limit the Scots'
oppostion to only 14.4 points per contest. The Boro's
defensive units, under the tutorship of coordinator Tom
Herman for the last five years, have been traditionally
stingy in the Pennsylvania Conference where Edinboro has
been the leader in rushing defense four out of the past five
seasons.

Headlining the cast here are a pair of senior AllAmerican candidates in 6-3, 230-pound tackle Rick Jordan
(Jamestown, NY) and 6-0, 192-pound linebacker Willie
Chealey (Orlando, FL) who combined for 186 stops last fall.
Chealey, a Conference first team pick, was the team's
leading tackier with 122 hits while Jordan, another first
team selection, contributed 64 jolts and led the list in sacks
with 12 to put his career total of 22 just 5 shy of the school
record.
"Willie is one of the few linebackers around who has
the speed to cover receivers coming out of the backfield,"
beamed Creehan, "while Rick has exceptional quickness
that makes the pass rush and pursuit his forte."
Teaming with Chealey at the other backer spot in the
5-2 alignment is 6-2, 220-pound senior Bob O'Rorke
(Pittsburgh, PA) tabbed by Creehan as "a fiery athlete who
gets the rest of the defense 'up' and makes the big play."
Sophomore Allen Ellis (5-11,205, Albion, NY) emerged as
the number one backup to O'Rorke and Chealey after
spring ball.
Tackle Don Espy (6-3, 245, Brookville, PA) a three-year
monogram winner, and junior middle guard Sean Hender
son (6-0, 230, West Mifflin, PA) another pass rush stand
out, team up with Jordan to form the heart of the Scots'
forward wall. The coaching staff is also high on sophomore
tackle Chuck Murray (6-4, 240, Tyrone, PA) who made
noted progress in spring camp. Adding help in pass rush
situations is Matt Grebenc (Wickliffe, OH) another quick
middle guard operative like Henderson.
Primary attention will be focused on the defensive end
slots manned by juniors Dave Emmert (6-3, 210, Lower
Burrell, PA) and John Brenneman(5-10, 225, Warren, OH).
"Just as the offensive line is the unproven portion of our
offense, so are the ends to our defense," theorized
Creehan. "The manpower is there, the drawback is the
experience factor," he concluded. Sophomore John
Cardone (Pittsburgh, PA) should also get a chance to prove
he can protect the flank.
Senior strong safety Keith Rose (Coraopolis, PA)
regarded as "the coach on the field," keys a solid Scot
secondary where the Scots show the most depth. Free
safety Ray Bracy (Youngstown, OH) the team's leader in
interceptions and fumble recoveries, anchors the unit with
Rose. Sophomores Terrell Clifford (Canton, OH) and
Martelle Betters (Connellsville, PA) are projected as the
starting corners, but redshirts Matt Robinson (Orlando, FL)
and Mark Perkins (Harve de Grace, MD) are talented
enough to step in at anytime.
Edinboro's kicking game appears to possess one of its
strongest kicking combinations in years with placement
booter Jim Trueman (Bellevue, PA) and punter Kevin
Conlan (Frewsburg, NY). Trueman, in his freshman debut,
was listed among the nation's scoring leaders with 69
points via 39 PAT's and 10 field goals. The PC First Team
pick set Edinboro records for the most extra point boots in a
season (39) and the single game PAT standard (7). Conlan,
vvho has proved his ability to get distance and heighth on
his punts, displayed the consistency in the spring needed to
make him a valuable asset should the offense get slowed
down.

"Overall our backfield will have a lot more speed as a
group," forecasted Creehan. "Damon is ready to blossom
into the groat player we expect him to be and Bob is one of
the most reliable halfbacks we have," the Edinboro
University coach added.
Giving the Scots a running back bonus this year is the
return of Mitchell Kelly (Canton, OH), a PC First Team
selection in 1982, who is once again in the lineup.
Sophomore Carmen Cicero (Niles, OH) emerged as a top
young prospect after spring ball with newcomer Tony Allen
(E. Carnegie, PA) ready to show his wares out of a halfback
slot.
Senior fullback Ray Rhodes (5-10, 190, White Plains,
NY) gives the Scots' running game an added dimension
with his speed. "If he improves his blocking, he could
become one of the best fullbacks we've ever had," offered
Creehan.
Rounding out the arsenal of offensive weapons are
wide receivers Gary McKnight (Orlando, FL) and Eric
Bosley (Willingboro, NJ) who could become the top two
pass catchers in the Conference if they avoid injury
problems. McKnight snagged 16 tosses for 428 yards last
year while Bosley, after a late start, tied an Edinboro record
with 3 TD grabs in a single game. Letter winner Dave
Gierlak (Buffalo, NY), the third in a trio of brothers to play for
the Scots, complements the duo with sophomore Bob
Suren (Parma, OH) earning the early nod at tight end.
The biggest question mark hovering over the Plaid's
offensive forces concerns the offensive line. "It's not that
we don't have good people on our line," indicated Creehan,
"it's Just that they're untested. As a matter of fact, they
have the potential to become one of the best offensive lines
in our conference," he summed.

Why are a lot of college men and women
becoming buddies in Army ROTC?
Probably because Army ROTC is full of
the kind of people other people go out of their
way to meet.
ROTC students tend to be high achievers
who are interested in more than their studies.
They’re popular students with a serious side,
but who like to have a good time, too.
In other words, when people join Army
ROTC they often meet people a lot like them'

MATCH-UPS
ON THE UNE
by Don Doyie, Quad-City Times
nce upon a time the line of
scrimmage in a college football
game resembled the Battle of
O
the Titans.
Gigantic linemen of equal size, equal
strength and equal quickness stood
facemask to facemask and slugged it
out in ferocious fashion. The clash be
tween offensive and defensive lines was
a test of brute strength. Whoever could
outmuscle the other guy usually won
the game.
It’s still pretty ferocious in there. And
physical too. But a lot more finesse
goes into line play these days.
Oh, the offensive linemen are still
huge. The bigger the better, most
continued
recruiters will tell you. Tackles who are
6-7 and weigh 280 pounds are common
place. But they are almost always of
fensive tackles, not defensive tackles.
On defense, speed and quickness
nave become priorities.
"Now defenses are being geared com
pletely to quickness," said one West
Coast defensive coach. "The pass rush

that position in recent years who
weighed less than 200 pounds. Ends
who weigh 220 are more the norm.
It wasn’t always that way. A little
more than a decade ago, the biggest,
most powerful players could be found
as often on defense as on offense. Men
like Michigan State’s 6-7, 295-pound
Bubba Smith and Grambling’s 6-7, 287-
who can run the 40-yard dash in 4.6 or
4.7. For any other team he’d probably
play middle linebacker or fullback. But
the coaches put him on a structured
weightlifting program for a year or two
and come up with a good, quick
defensive tackle.
Movement just before the snap of the
ball and the use of "slants” are primary
go„ /„to
defensive linemen ere becoming fester.
is the reason. Finding guys who can put
on a pass rush is the No. 1 priority when
we re looking for defensive linemep.
We re always looking for guys who can
get to the quarterback.”
That s the whole philosophy of
most coaches now,” agreed another
coach. “Ifyou’vegotSO linemen to work
with, some are going to be fast and
some aren’t. That doesn’t mean the
slow ones aren’t good players. But the
great people who can really run usually
end up on defense.”
The trend now is toward smaller,
quicker defensive linemen. A 6-2, 240pound defensive tackle or noseguard is
more than acceptable these days in ma
jor college football. A 6-2, 240-pound of
fensive tackle is rare.
Defensive ends are usually even
lighter. A few teams have had men at
pound Buck Buchanan roamed the
defensive side.
When the other team was running
the football all the time, you wanted to
have those big guys who could stand up
to the offensive linemen and be physi
cal, ” noted one defensive line coach.
But then the option style of the run
ning attack became popular and teams
suddenly needed quicker defensive
players to cope with the outside
thrusts of the Wishbone and the Veer.
The advent of the wide open passing
attack has accelerated the trend.
One Big Ten school has been among
the leaders in the defensive quickness
movement. It has been doing for years
what others have only started doing in
recent seasons.
The formula is simple. Find a kid
who’s 6-2 or 6-3 with a solid build and
weapons of a quick defensive line. A
defensive tackle slants by lining up di
rectly across from an opposing offen
sive linemen but facing at an angle.
When the ball is snapped he charges
into a gap in the line.
You try to run around the guy in
stead of standing there and waiting for
him to come and block you, ” explained
one line coach. “You try to get into the
gaps in the line. Miami did a great job of
doing that last year.”
The Hurricanes also used a great deal
of movement in an effort to disrupt the
concentration of the offensive line.
Nothing disturbs an offensive guard or
tackle more than having the man across
from him shift just before the snap.
While quickness has joined (and vir
tually replaced) size and strength as a

MATCH-UPS ON THE LINE
continued
gauge of defensive line prowess, those
two old staples are still in vogue on the
other side of the ball. Offensive linemen
in the college ranks are bigger than ever
with several teams averaging more than
260 pounds across their front five. Colo
rado State, not exactly a gridiron pow
erhouse, claimed to have the biggest
line in the country last season with an
average of 269 pounds per man.
"With the new rules you’re able to
use your hands more on pass blocking
and teams are throwing the ball more
an30vay, ” said one midwestern line
coach. "With those factors in mind, it's
definitely to your advantage to have big
offensive linemen.
"A lot of teams are trying to counter
that with quickness. They're sacrificing
some size to get people who can outquick the big offensive linemen. ”
As a result, offensive linemen are
being asked to block men 10, 20, some
times 40 pounds lighter than them
selves. So what does a 270-pound
offensive tackle do when the 230-pound
defensive end lines up far outside and
prepares to make a beeline for the quar
terback? Or what does the 260-pound
guard do when the 240-pound defen
sive tackle lines up at a slant and looks
longingly at the gap between guard and
center?
He compensates for his lack of foot
speed with intelligence and good tech
nique. In other words, he has to antici
pate the actions of the defender, get the
proper angle on the man he is blocking,
and then utilize the blocking tactics
that have been drilled into him.
Technique. That word pops up over
and over again in conversations among
offensive linemen and their coaches.
Technique, according to one major
independent school line coach, is
"every physical movement that is
involved in the execution of a block."
That includes the use of hands, legs
and shoulders, knowing proper flexion
of the hips and knees, developing the
correct blocking angles, learning every
basic tenet of the drive block (for run
ning plays) and the set block (for pass
protection). Everything.
"The key to the whole thing is repeti
tion, ” said one coach. "Offensive line
men have to be willing to work very
hard.”
It 's also nice if they have long arms. It
defrays the margin for error.
"If a guy has shorter arms, he has to
be that much better with his tech-

nique, " explained one coach, "whereas
a kid who is 6-7 and has those long arms
can be a little sloppy and get away with
it. If the shorter kid makes a mistake he
can really get burned.”
It’s a little different with the drive
block, where the primary object is to
beat the other guy off the line and get
leverage on him. Shorter, lighter line
men have their place there, especially if
they have a quick first step. No matter
how big and strong the guy is across the
line, if an offensive linemen can be the
driver instead of the drivee, he’ll prob
ably get the job done.
Of course, height, weight, speed and
wingspan aren’t the only criteria for
selecting offensive and defensive line
men. Coaches often base their de
cisions as much on aptitude, attitude
and personality.
The general stereotype is something
like this:
• Offensive linemen are passive, de
fensive linemen are aggressive.
• Offensive linemen have above aver
age intelligence, defensive linemen
have below average intelligence.
• Offensive linemen are nice, defen
sive linemen are mean.
• Offensive linemen work hard, de
fensive linemen are a little lazy.
• Offensive linemen are gentle and
contemplative, defensive linemen are
loud and rowdy.
You’ll get varying opinions on the va
lidity of the stereotype although most
view it as having only a thread of truth.
"The offensive lineman has to keep
his composure more," admitted one
West Coast coach. "You don’t want to
put sissies on offense but you want
them to have a calmer metabolism. The
crazier guy who has a tendency to jump
offsides belongs on defense. ”
"You always hear the stories about
how this guy wasn’t good enough for
defense so they moved him to offense,”
reflected an offensive line coach from
the Big Ten. "But we like our guys to be
aggressive, too.
"I guess the biggest difference is that
an offensive lineman has'to play with
more control. Pass blocking is a good
example. The defensive guys are wail
ing on you but you have to maintain
your control and concentration. Defen
sive guys can just play a lot more loose.
"A good parallel to playing the offen
sive line would be hitting a golf ball or
hitting a baseball. You want to be in
tense but you also have to be under
control. ”
And be big and strong and tough and
have good technique and be ready to
cope with some lightning-footed,
scaled-down "titans.”

h how the myths have exploded
down through the years about
those wacky, crazy, flaky and
zany left-handed quarterbacks.
They have been portrayed as a funloving, free-spirited bunch of football
players who march to the beat of a dif
ferent drum. The guys who throw with
the so-called "wrong arm” are sup
O
posed to be capable of doing anything
at any time to give a coach gray hairs.
In short, it’s safe to expect the unex
pected from the southpaw throwers.
They tantalize their coaches with
flashes of brilliance one moment and
near total disaster at another moment.
Many left-handed quarterbacks have
overcome this nagging stigma of incon
sistency and gone on to have superb
college careers. Last season, two of the
top quarterbacks in the nation Boomer
Esiason of Maryland and Steve Young of
Brigham Young—threw with their left
hand.
They were so brilliant and consistent

Saturday after Saturday that their
coaches and fans nearly forgot that
they had a left-hander at the most im
portant position on the team.
“The only problem we came upon
was if we had to demonstrate some
thing, ” said a right-handed Atlantic
Coast Conference coach who watched
his talented left-hander win 16 games
over two seasons against some of the
top teams in the country.
“ Some people say the spin of the ball
is different from a left-hander, ” con
tinued the ACC head coach. ‘ But I
don’t believe there’s any real difficulty
unless you talk about it and think about
it a lot. ”
But there can be no question that a
left-hander does present problems for
his teammates and the opposition on a
regular basis, if for no other reason than
the fact that he is different from most
quarterbacks.
Something like 95 percent of quarter
backs are right-handers. Defenses are
accustomed to playing against right
handers and get a different look of
where the ball is coming from when a
left-hander unloads a pass.
The lefties have also been known to
gamble a little more in clutch situations
and rise to the occasion when backed
into a corner. Maybe they have some
thing to prove since they grew up
throwing the ball differently from
almost everybody else.
A left-hander is certainly much better
at rolling out to his left and putting the
ball in the air. When he goes to the left,
he’s usually attacking the weak side of
the defense—those people who don’t
normally get as much work on a regular
afternoon.
Some defensive coaches may want to
shift personnel around to compensate
for the added dimension a left-hander
gives a team. And they also have to be
prepared for the different rotation on
the football when it leaves the hand of a
lefty.
"Sometimes a left-hander will throw
a curve, screwball, or something like
that,” said a Southeastern Conference
coach. "The spin on the ball is different
but it doesn’t matter as long as it gets
there. ”
The different spin would create a
problem for a receiver if he were catch
ing the ball from a southpaw for the
first time all week. But all receivers
catch hundreds of passes every week
from all the quarterbacks on the squad.
By Saturday afternoon they're ready to
catch the ball as long as it doesn't spin,
curve, or dip too much.
When that happens, the left-handed
quarterback usually says he was just
lot
Maryland’s Boomer Esiason, throwing lefthanded, shattered records In ’83.
being "creative " and messing up the
defense. But both the quarterback and
his pass-catchers know that every now
and then a southpaw is going to look
bad on a pass when it gets away from
him.
Most coaches say they don’t install
any special pass patterns for a lefty.
However, they’ll try to attack the weak
side of the defense as often as possible
if they have a quarterback who is
mobile enough to roll left and throw ef
fectively on the run.
In these days of complicated and
multiple defenses, the offensive coaches
are always looking for a minor twist or
turn to gain any kind of slight advantage
a left-hander might provide. Even if the
quarterback and his receiver do every
thing the same on a pass pattern a right
hander would do, there is still the
obvious difference of trying to stop a
passer who has the ball in the other
hand.
The left side of the defensive line has
more distance to travel to get to the foot
ball when a lefty has it. When the defen
sive linemen start bearing down on a
left-handed quarterback, the first thing
they are usually facing is his back and
not the ball.
This can give the quarterback the few
extra precious seconds he might need
to get the pass off or to scramble out of
trouble and find another receiver.
So what happens if the left-handed
starter suddenly gets hurt during a
game and the coach has to call on his
back-up—a right-hander—to come into
the game?
The tendency is to believe the offen
sive team has to completely readjust its
plan of attack. This could be true in
some cases, but most coaches like to
give their back-up quarterback enough
playing time to be comfortable with the
first unit.
If the No. 2 signal caller has only been
in games with the second team, that’s
when the problems start. You can prac
tice for days with the first team, but
there’s no substitute for working under
game conditions with your receivers,
running backs and offensive linemen.
Although there is no difference in the
way a left-hander takes a snap from
center, there are the usual timing
factors to be concerned about. These
are important when a right-hander re
places a right-hander, and are a little
more ticklish when a righty subs for a
southpaw.
As far as defensive adjustments a
team has to make when it is going to
face a left-hander are concerned, it all
depends on the quarterback’s strengths
and weaknesses.
If he runs a well-balanced offense to
both sides of the field, there isn’t much
an opponent can do to project what’s
coming on Saturday afternoon. But if
the lefty has shown a tendency to favor
a certain pass pattern over another, the
wheels are set in motion for some defen
sive wizardr^^
“You do make a thorough study of
quarterbacks, ” said BYU’s offensive
coordinator. " You study his tendencies
and se»4 what he likes to do the most.
Sometimes those traits may be a little
easier to pick up with a left\/ who is
obviously more comfortable going to
his left. ”
The BYU coach, who worked with
record-shattering Steve Young last sea
son, said that all left-handed quarter
backs like to say they can go to their
right better than their left.
“But it’s just not true,” he said.
"These guys like to make people believe
they can roll right to prove their versa
tility. But you know a left-hander is
naturally going to be more at ease going
to his left. ”
No lefty likes to think he is limited,
especially a quarterback who thrives on
confidence and complete belief in his
ability to get the job accomplished.
Some have said left-handers are more
cocky and brash than their right-handed
counterparts.
But believers in the left-handers concontinued

tend that it’s just the quarterback posi
tion that makes everybody seem that
way. They don’t think most lefties are
arrogant. They have to be strong to lead
10 other guys on the field, and that
strength is sometimes confused with
obnoxiousness.
Unlike baseball where the southpaw
is restricted to pitching, first base and
the outfield, football holds no major
limitations on where a left-hander can
play. The only time a football coach
might make a change because a player
is left-handed would be in determining
on which side of the line he might use
the lefty.
Most coaches like their offensive and
defensive linemen to be ambidextrous,
but if a player is much more at ease hit
ting with his left arm first he will
usually be put in a position where he
can utilize his strengths to the utmost.
’You just see which guys are more
comfortable on a certain side of the
field,” said a Big Ten coach. "The same
can be true of right-handers as well as
lefties. It’s something you look at for
linebackers and defensive backs as well
as linemen and ends. ”
While the left-handed quarterback
‘^Sometimes a left-hander
will fliroir a cut^e, screwhallf or something like that,”
said a Southeastern Con
ference coach, ‘*The spin
on the ball is different but
it doesn*t matter as long as
it gets there.**
has some advantages and a few disad
vantages, a running back who is lefthanded would have a definite advan
tage if the coach wanted to use him on a
pass-option play. He could carry the
ball in the right hand and then suddenly
switch the ball away trom the defender
to the left hand and throw a pass.
All-America Steve Young last season
helped dispel some of those fables
about left-handers. His soft touch
passes rolled up points on the scoreboard and skyrocketed his passing
statistics.
”He was completely opposite from
what you always hear about left
handers, ” said the BYU coach. "He was
the most accurate quarterback we’ve
had here and we never did anything to
compensate for him being left-handed.”
While Young did the job with a soft
pass, Maryland’s southpaw Boomer
Esiason shattered passing records with
a whistling pass that split defenders
many times to find the open arms of
receivers.
Both quarterbacks received super re
sults with different methods, but they
both used what teachers and educators
once referred to as the ”bkd arm.”
The BYU coach recalled the days
when he was in elemenfary school and
a kid in the room was reprimanded for
using his left hand. It.was a time when
all youngsters were being taught to use
their right hands.
Now that thinking has changed. As
one left-hander put it, "We are more
spontaneous and creative. We use the
hand that is closest to our heart, which
makes us more sincere.”

THE RADIO COLOR MAN
continued
if';
is as singular a trademark as a
team s helmet logo or mascot.
His expressions become a part of the
fan’s vocabulary.
His voice and rhythmic delivery
mimicked.
His descriptions of game scenes
become a permanent chapter of team
history for every fan who couldn’t make it
to the stadium on time.
Color men come from a variety of
backgrounds.
Some are formerly prominent college
players, often alumni of the teams they’re
broadcasting.
Some are full time broadcasters with
years of experience.
A third group fits neither category.
They weren’t great players, and they’re
just learning the broadcasting business.
But people like to hear their voices during
a game.
®
"A good color man, ” says a veteran
play-by-play announcer in the Big Ten,
“can add a real dimension to a broadcast.
He can inject a liveliness into the story
line that complements the play-by-play
mans job. A good play-by-play man
always comes prepared to do his job. A
good color man can make him sound
even better. ”
The converse is also true.
No matter how flawless the play-byplay delivery, a weak color man can
disrupt the broadcast fiow more quickly
than a power failure.
With each broadcast team, the color
man’s job varies.
In a Uvo-man team, the color man’s
responsibilities are expanded beyond
simply making comments during a game.
The color man in the two-man team
usually gets the game show on and oflFthe
air. He handles introductions, including
halftime guests. If there are no halftime
guests, he describes halftime ceremonies.
Often he’s also responsible for locker
room interviews on the post-game show.
Every color man is expected to provide
requisite game facts in his pre-game
comments: who’s playing, \yhere they’re
playing, what the teams’ records are and
how weather conditions, may affect the
game’s outcome.
Better color men go a step further,
delving into the nuanbes of a game by
briefly charting the storylines they’ll
follow during the afternoon: key match
ups, relationships of opposing coaches,
the impact the game could have on bowl
game aspirations of either or both teams.
Three-man broadcast teams are dis
tinguished by the addition of a game
analyst to the roster.
The analyst, usually a former coach or
player, uses his intimate knowledge of
college football to apprise listeners of
what strategy and tactics are being
used. In this situation, the color man
avoids technical aspects of the game to
concentrate on other areas.
Whether two-man or three-man, the
broadcast team has to learn to work
together, becoming familiar with the
cadence/)f the play-by-play man’s voice
and th^ lulls in which the color man
and analyst can make their points.
“The 25 seconds between plays in a
college game makes a vastly different
broadcast than a pro game in which 30
seconds transpire between plays, ”
says a veteran Southeastern Con
ference broadcaster who has served as
both color man and play-by-play an
nouncer for the better part of 20 years.
The extra five secohds in the pro
game can be interminable. You’ll have a
bit more freedom as a color man to get
your thoughts on the air. The college
game gives the impression of moving
along so much faster. You have to know
what you’re going to say and say it

RADIO COLOR man;

succinctly.”
In the radio
booth as well
as on the playing
field, the opening two
or three games of the
season are usually the
proving ground.
Because the popularity of college
i^football radio broadcasts generates big
ratings — and big profits — radio exec
utives are very critical in their reviews
of broadcast teams.
A color man who can’t hold his own
in the two-man team, or one who steps
on the lines of his compatriots in the
three-man team, is immediately rele
gated to less air time.
An experienced broadcast team
that’s worked together for several sea
sons has a comfortable feel for the radio
audience right from the season opener.
A team with one or more new mem
bers can have its ups and downs.
‘‘The longer you work with someone,
the better patterns you get into, ” said
an announcer with five decades of col
lege football broadcasting duty, the last
two decades coming on the broadcast
team of a Los Angeles-based Pac-10
team.
‘‘The play-by-play man accepts the
other guy and learns fi'om him. The big
thing is that one pair of eyes can’t see it
all. The play-by-play man follows the
ball. The color man can more closely
analyze what the defense is doing. He
sees who caused the fumble.
‘‘A priority,”he said,"is to keep it
simple.
" You don’t want to be too technical in
the college game, ” he said. “College
football is more a spectacle. People are
dressed up and meeting old Mends.
There’s a larger audience ofwomen. It’s
a social event.
“They just aren’t as involved in the
technical points of the game. You don’t
kiss off the technical stuff altogether, but
there’s a lot going on at a col
lege game beyond pure unadulterated
football. ”
Perhaps the best way to keep the
pace flowing in a college broadcast is to
be well prepared.
"If you want to be a professional,”
said one former Big-10 color comment
ator, "you come in prepared. A lot of
guys don’t, but if you don’t do your
homework, you’re not doing your job.
"It’s extremelyimportant to get input
from the coaches. They know what a
guy’s strengths and weaknesses are.
They know the kinds of things that can
make it a long day for a player.
"So you watch for it. Pick out some
thing you can look for that you expect
to be a key and monitor the pattern
through the game.”
The color man’s job in recent years
has been immeasurably assisted by the
growing intricacies of college football.
"The frequent use of statistics, for
one thing, ” the veteran Pac-10
dtl4
announcer said. “Theaheer amount of
information you have at your fingertips
helps you do a better job. It’s all
changed. You’re not in the press box
any more. It’s the communications
center.”
The diff^erence in the color man’s
duties can be altered by the medium.
On radio, he’s an illustrator and educa
tor. On television, he can be like a
counterpunching boxer.
“When you’re doing TV, it’s not
necessary to say the pass is dragging
downfield like a crippled quail and has
interception written all over it, ” says
the veteran SEC color commentator.
"All that’s done for you. The color
man becomes analyst in a TV broad
cast. Radio lets you paint the picture.”
The best test of a color man’s craft is
how well he communicates the flavor
and excitement of the game via the
radio airwaves, how artfully he illus
trates the scene to a fan who may be
hundreds of miles away and fishing
fi'om a bass boat floating in the middle
of a lake.
If he can fire up that angler, get him
dialed into every play, the fisherman is
going to become a cheerleader.
And the cheerleader is going to shout
loud enough to drive the fish away.
The fishing trip may be ruined.
But the fisherman has enjoyed an
afternoon of college football thanks to
the second banana who brings the
game to life—the radio color man. ^

The most common defense among
college football teams today is the "50”
defense, consisting of five linemen, two
inside linebackers and a four-rdeep sec
ondary. One of those linemen is the
noseguard, who is usually positioned
head-up on the center.
It’s the noseguard who has the big
gest say in whether or not a team plays
a good "50” defense or a lousy one.
"It’s the most essential position of
the front,’’ says one coach in the South.
"I feel very strongly that if you ’ve got a
person in there who cannot dominate,
then you should play another defense.
Those are pretty strong words, but
that’s the way I’ve always felt about it. ”
Says another coach from a southern
school, ‘You’re going to struggle or be
mighty average unless you have a domi
nant noseguard in a ‘50’ front.”
It’s quite obvious why the noseguard
is so important in the “50" defense. In
most “50” alignments, the noseguard is
over the center, the two tackles are
head-up with the offensive tackles and
the two ends (the outside linebackers,
as they are sometimes called) are
outside the tight end. Each has a cer
tain area of responsibility.
"We use what we call gap control,”
says one coach. “For instance, the two
tackles are responsible for the gap be
tween the guards and the tackles. Our
ends have the area from the tight end to
the sideline.”
That leaves the noseguard with the
area from guard to guard. He’s the only
player on the defensive front who is
asked to cover two gaps — the center-
guard gap on both sides of the football.
"And if you can find a gu\' who can
cover two gaps,” say's a coach, "then
you’ve got yourself one heckuva foot
ball player.”
Says another coach, ’Regardless of
which side they should run to, right or
left, the noseguard should be the first
man on the tackle if the play goes be
tween the guards. We tell all our people
they should be in on the tackle, but they
have one gap that is their primary con
cern until the ball is snapped. Then
they can leave that area. ”
One coach who employs the 4-3 de
fense at his school says the noseguard’s
two-gap responsibility is the main rea
son he doesn’t like the “50” front.
"In our 4-3 our middle linebacker has

the same gaps to cover as the noseguard, ” he says. "But we think he can
do a better job of it by standing up three
or four yards off the ball rather than get
ting down face to face with the center.
We think it’s easier to react that way. ”
when searching for a noseguard, a
coach is looking for two things: he must
have great quickness and he must be
strong enough to battle one, two or
three offensive linemen.
"The noseguard has to move and be
into the center as soon as the ball
moves, ’ ’ says a coach who uses the "50 ”
defense. "That’s the most important
thing in teaching noseguard play: mov
ing on the football. That’s something
you can develop to a degree, but it’s
mainly something you’re born with.
"You want to move so quickly that the
center would swear you’re offsides.
And many times the good ones are off
sides because of that great anticipation.
We really stress how important it is to
move when the ball moves. ”
The noseguard is taught to move
through the center’s block instead of
trying to go around him. ' If you go
around him,” says a coach, "the center
will just cutyou off. We tell our kids that
if the center moves left, then you’ve got
to work that way. ”
It’s tough on a center. He must worry
first about getting off a good snap to the
quarterback. Then comes the blocking
part. All this happens in a fraction of a
second, and it’s a demanding situation.
"More and more I think we re seeing
the best athletes on the offensive line at
center because of all the good noseguards around,” says a coach. "And if
you can’t handle the noseguard, you’ll
be in for a long day.”
The most obvious problem a good
noseguard could cause
is poor
exchanges from the center to the
quarterback.
"If you’ve got a noseguard going into
the center every play, you’re going to
create some mistakes,” a coach says.
"The center tries to move his hands a
little quicker. He might not be concen
trating as much on the exchange as he
is on the guy in front of him. And the
quarterback may be trying to get out of
there a little quicker than normal.
"Even if you don’t create fumbles,
you might interrupt the exchange from
the quarterback to a running back. It
just destroys whatever cohesiveness an
offensive might have.”
Offense must make adjustments to
handle dominant noseguards. " What
we do, ” says one offensive coach, "is try
to give the center as much help as
possible. We ll use one guard, some
times both guards if we have to, on the
noseguard.”
The new scheme may block the nose
guard, but it also leaves one-on-one
blocking for the defensive tackles,
which in turn makes them much more
effective.
As one defensive coach bluntly puts
it, "You can block my noseguard one•on-one and he’ll eat your lunch. You
can double-team my noseguard and my
tackles will eat your lunch. Makes no
difference to me.”
If an offense does cook up a new
blocking scheme to handle the nose
guard, it may do more harm to the of
fense than good.
"Many teams have had malfunctions
against us, ” a defensive coach says,
"because they’ve had to change the
things they’d been doing all season.
The type of guy who can force a team to
change what they normally do is the
type of guy we re looking for to play
noseguard.”
No one can measure the effect a
dominant noseguard has on the oppo
sition during the week before a game,
but one coach believes it would be sur
prising.
"Those players sit there all week,
watching films of your noseguard just
destroying a center, ” one coach says,
"and they realize that "Hey, this guy
may force us into a lot of mistakes. It
works on their minds. ”
There are certain variations of the
"50 ” that are frequently used. "Rarely
do you see a team play a straight "50’ for
a whole game, ” says a coach. And that
may change the responsibility of the
noseguard.
What a team might do is run an "over
shift” to the strong (or tight end) side,
then shift the secondary to the weak
(away from the tight end) side for run
support there.
In the "overshift, ” the noseguard
moves into the center-guard gap on the
strong side. The tackle on the weak side
moves down from head-up with the
offensive tackle to directly over the
guard.
One coach who uses the wide-tacklesix defense — a popular defense in
years gone by, but employed by just a
handful of teams these days — laughs
when someone mentions the "50”
overshift.
"All they’re doing then, ” he says, "is
running our defense. We take our 60guard and put him in the guard-center
gap, just like they do with the nose
guard. It’s the same thing. Then, every
front player is responsible for just one
gap. And most teams are better when
they have their players in one-gap
responsibility.”

c» ■

m
■W S,\e-
But some teams using the wide-tacklesix alignment convert to the "50” in
certain situations.
"Sometimes, we ll move our guard
from the center-guard gap to directly
over the center, just like a noseguard, in
passing situations, ” says one coach.
"We feel like he gets a little better pass
rush over the center than the guard
because the center is worried about
snapping the ball first, then blocking. ”
One coach compares finding a quality
noseguard to finding a quality quar
terback. "There just aren’t many
around, ” he says. "What we’ve always
done is take our best defensive lineman
and put him there. Eveiything in the
"50’ is structured around him. That’s
where the heart of the defense is. He’s
the cog.
"That’s what we tell a guy when we
put him there: "Everything revolves
around you. You set up the huddle. The
others come to you. When the defense
is called, you’re the first one to the ball.
And when the ball moves, you’re the
first one on defense to move.”
And what the noseguard does on that
initial move following each snap can
determine who wins the game.

UNIVERSITY OF THE SOUTH
Remarkable story? Yes. The College
Football Hall of Fame near Cincinnati
ought to play it big. It doesn't now.
Someday it will.
No team will match that feat.
It happened in 1899. William
McKinley was the president of the U.S.,
while in England, Queen Victoria was
still doddering around Buckingham
Palace.
Sewanee was officially 'The Univer
sity of the South, " ivy all over its 10,000acres up the road a piece from Chatta
nooga, if one is headed toward
Nashville.
Football is still there. It’s not de-emphasized football — just football, by
student-scholars. The late Shirley
Majors, John's dad, coached it with dis
tinction for years.
The NCAA knows about Sewanee
football. It has awarded more of its
post-graduate honors scholarships
there than to any Division III institu
tion in the land.
Sewanee is proud of its football tra
dition but does not boast of it from
housetops. Once upon a time the
Purple Tigers were the perennial
southern football power.
It wasn’t a power by the time the
Southeastern Conference was born in
1933, but Sewanee was a member. It re
signed in 1940, with an 0-37 SEC foot
ball record.
But from 1899, for 30-odd seasons
Sewanee wasn’t embarrassed to chal
lenge anybody.
Its memorable team, that '99 team
ignored by history, set a tone. The five
wins in six days came late in a 12-0-0
season.
Sewanee archives credit Luke Lea, a
big-dreaming team business manager,
with assembling the players for 1899,
and persuading Suter to coach them.
Lea later became a Nashville news
paper publisher and U.S. senator. He re
cruited men from several states, mostly
players with college experience.
Warbler Wilson, quarterback, had
been a second-stringer at South Caro
lina. Captain of the team was H. G.
Seibels, of Birmingham, Ala., a lineman.
Seibels was the last survivor of the
team, dying in 1969, as a College
Football Hall of Famer.
Sewanee opened its '99 season de
feating Georgia, 12-0, and Georgia Tech,
32-0, in Atlanta on Oct. 21 and Oct. 23. It
routed Tennessee, 46-0, and Southwest
ern, 54-0, at home within the next 11
days.
It finished the year spanking Cum
berland, 71-0, on Nov. 20 at home;
Auburn, 11-10, in Montgomery on Nov.
30; and North Carolina, 5-0, in Atlanta,

Six days, five football games,
five victories—and a
bid for history.
On the seventh
day, Sewanee records it,
^^they rested
Dec. 2.
The final game should have been
called a bowl.’ It predated the Rose
Bowl by twoyears, with all the elements
to qualify it as a major post-season
game.
Sewanee heard about North Carolina
claiming the Dixie championship. The
Tigers challenged the boast and settled
it, by a field goal (which counted five
points then).
But The Trip was for the ages. Lea
promoted that, too. He even talked
school fathers into buying new uni
forms for the team — the custom back
then had players furnishing their own
combat wardrobes and shoes.
A crisis developed on the team’s spe
cial sleeper car five miles down the rail
road from Sewanee. Lea remembered
he d forgotten to load the new uniforms
off the station platform.
Lea got the conductor to wire a re
quest that the equipment be dis
patched on a following train. The uni
forms caught up with the players a few
minutes before kickoff in Austin.
Sewanee caught up with a fast-start
ing Texas early in the match. The Long
horns moved to the Tiger 15.
A story goes that at that point a Sewa
nee alumnus waved a fistful of money
to fellow sidelining Texans, offering
odds that Texas wouldn’t score then, or
later.
Texans covered. Texans lost.
One Sewanee version of that gamble
is that most of the winning money in
volved represented an investment by
Sewanee players.
Historians report that following the
game Texans hosted Sewanee players
at a dance.
Following a late night trip to Hous
ton, Sewanee whipped the Texas Aggies
the next afternoon, a Friday.
The 400 miles left to New Orleans
denied the Tigers a dance in Houston.
The players did attend a theatre per
formance on Saturday evening, after
Tulane had been trounced, 23-0.
In the play’s ( "Rupert of Hentzan”)
final act the dead hero was on stage in
state when Queen Flavia rushed on in
royal mourning clothes of purple.
That was Sewanee’s color. The
players leaped up and rendered their
school syell. Actors and audience were
mystified. -The dramatic spell was lost,
like Teys, A&M and Tulane had.
And LSU was to lose in Baton Rouge
on Monday, and Ole Miss in Memphis
on Tuesday.
On Sunday, break day, Sewanee play
ers toured a sugar plantation on a
detour to Baton Rouge. They cheered
for the purple cane.
LSU s color is purple also, and so
were their bruises. Ole Miss colors were
red and black. So were their feelings
late Tuesday.
The 300-miles from Memphis to
Sewanee were uneventful for a team
headed home. The entire student body,
tis written, met the train.
There was a triumphant half-mile
parade up the mountain to the campus.
Students had rented a hack. They ropepulled it up the slope with 21 celebri
ties aboard.
Six days, five football games, five vic
tories — and a bid for history. On the
seventh day, Sewanee records it, "they
rested. ”

CROSS COUNTRY TEAM MARKS TIME
f^c.id label and follow directions
Monloy & James. 1983
Edinboro University's cross country coach, Doug
Watts, feels that his men distance hopefuls will be
maintaining the Scots traditionally respected "status quo"
this year in preparation of "great expectations" for the fall
of 1985.
"Our team is young and needs another year of
experience and physical maturation before we can realist
ically challenge for another national championship,"
claimed the EUP mentor who has guided the running Scots
to outstanding success over the past 15 years. "We have
set modest goals — another undefeated dual match season
and an NCAA II national finish among the top ten,"
continued Watts whose teams are working on a string of 57
consecutive dual match wins that span 12 straight un
defeated seasons.
In anticipation of the 1985 charge and as an indication
of the wealth of talent Watts has on hand, Edinboro AllAmerican Steve Repko (E. Aurora, NY) will sit out this
campaign as a red shirt." Still, more than a dozen runners
will battle for the top spots to carry on the Scots nationally
recognized reputation of distance running excellence.
"I don't think I can accurately single out who will be our
top runner this year," revealed Watts. "There simply are
too many talented people to predict a distinct order of
finish."
The situation is one that should make any intercol
legiate coach happy, and Watts is no exception.
"Our depth means that competition within our team
might be more intense than against most of our opponents.
As a result our seven top runners should be as tough psychologically as they are physically," added Watts coyly.
Expected to challenge for the number one spot is junior
Mike Hulme (E. Aurora, NY). A two-time national finalist in
the steeplechase at the NCAA II Track Championships,
Hulme could emerge as a cross country All-American for
the Scots this fall. A fellow Steepler, Tim Dunthorne
(sophomore, Sundbury, Ont.) finished seventh at the NCAA
track finals last spring and has all the tools to join Hulme in
the quest for an All-American scroll. Junior Steve Stahl
also has the potential to finish among the national leaders
but has to "overcome personal distractions" says Watts.
The Edinboro coach can still count on another group of
his talented runners to challenge for the number one
position on any given day. Luke Graham (sophomore,
Cochranton, PA) is seen by Watts as the "team fighter" and
feels "once his training catches up with his heart" Graham
will be a future champion. Sidelined last year due to an
injury was Genarro Manocchio (freshman, Parma, OH)
who will probably start slow but make his presence known
at the top through October.
Also wearing an Edinboro uniform for the first time will
be transfer Scott Burns (sophomore, Pittsfield, PA) who,
likewise, is a front-runner contender. Junior Bill Maloney
(Hollidaysburg, PA), a consistent top five finisher for the
last two seasons, has always been a dependable pointgetter who continually delivers clutch performances.
The remaining roster members could, by themselves,
comprise a team that might prove to be the best in the
Pennsylvania Conference where the Scots compete. Only
in his third year of running, senior Tom Borawski (Sharon,
PA) has been selected to captain the team because of the
great attitude and leadership qualities he demonstrated
last fall. Sophomore Ron Beck (Kent, OH), recovering from a
bout of mononucleosis over the summer, and junior Greg
Cunningham (Warren, PA), a place-finisher in the Con
ference 10,000 meter run, are threats who should surprise
opponents. A pair of sophomores, Gregg Redd (Swanton,
OH) and Ken Scott (Jeanette, PA) are potentially dangerous
competitors as is junior Frank Tascone (Madison, OH).
A trio of Ohio freshmen recruits, who Watts believes
have promising futures, have joined the squad. "These
three are excellent runners," indicated Watts. "But it
remains to be seen if they will be able to overtake any of the
upperclassmen this early in their collegiate careers."
The threesome includes Brian Martin (Sandusky, OH),
Matt Marshall (Lansing, OH) and Tim Powers (Youngstown,
OH). Martin was fourth in the Buckeye State AA meet with
Marshall posting a fifth in his division and Powers
ending up 12th in the AAA race.

"My number one concern is to see that all

added Creehan._____________ ________
Creehan was a captain of Edinboro University
1970 team that captured the Lambert Bowl, em
blematic of the best college football team in the East,
won the Pennsylvania Conference Championship
and earned a berth in the NAIA national playoffs. He
starred in the secondary as a strong safety that
season when the Fighting Scots finished their
regular campaign undefeated with a 9-0 record.
Prior to a three-year stint on the Edinboro staff as
an assistant, Creehan served as recruiting coordi
nator at the University of Pittsburgh in 1974 under
Coach Johnny Majors. The following year he was a
member of the Carnegie-Mellon University football
staff as the team's offensive coordinator.
The young mentor has likewise had an outstand
ing athletic career as a football player. After starring
as both a halfback and strong safety at Bethel Park
High School, the Castle Shannon, Pa. native accu
mulated numerous gridiron honors at Edinboro. At
the conclusion of his senior campaign for the Fighting
Scots, he was accorded first team All-East honors by
the ECAC and first team All-State Associated Press
accolades as the Scots' strong safety. In addition, he
was named to the Pittsburgh Press All-District first
team and to the NAIA District 18 All-Star squad. He
was one of the three 1970 captains who accepted
Edinboro's Lambert Bowl trophy at the Lambert
Awards Banquet in New York City.

Head Coach - Denny Creehan
Since Denny Creehan's appointment five
years ago as the ninth head coach in Edinboro's
football history, the Fighting Scots have commanded
respect both in the highly regarded Pennsylvania
Conference as well as on the national scene. Record
breaking performances have become the order of the
day while riding the crest of a glossy 31-18-1 ledger
over the past five seasons. The 34-year-old mentor
has produced a .633 winning percentage mark to
move him into first place on Edinboro's all-time
coaching list.
Over the past two seasons Creehan's clubs have
posted an impressive 17-4 chart while figuring in 43
school records that were either tied or broken.
Following up a brilliant 9-2 slate two years ago, along
with the PC's Western Divison title, Creehan's
charges blazed to an 8-2 card last fall while becoming
Edinboro's most explosive offensive team ever.
The 1983 Scots scored a record breaking 41.2
points per game and ranked second in the nation
among NCAA Division II competitors in total offense
with a 461.1 yards per contest output. That output
was good enough to be rated 10th among all the
major college's and universities in the country ahead
of such schools as Boston College (13th), Florida
State (14th), and North Carolina (15th).
While producing a respected competitor on the
football field is, of course, an annual goal, Creehan
has continually stressed the importance of aca
demics as a top priority for his student athletes. "We
must be winners in the classroom first," indicated
the Edinboro University mentor.

National Football Foundation's
College Football Hall of Fame
Galbreath Field
Since the College Football Hall
of Fame opened in August 1978,
it has appealed to people of all
ages with just about every inter
est imaginable . . . people who
like movies, sports, computer
games, American history, mod
ern museums, great athletes, col
orful displays, nostalgia, me
morabilia, stirring speeches,
cheerleaders, marching bands,
Saturday afternoons in the fall
and college football.
When the Hall of Fame was
dedicated in August 1978, ''Red"
Blaik was the keynote speaker.
He spoke to the crowd on behalf
of all Hall of Famers and said.
"This is the best happening in
college football since the legali
zation of the forward pass." His
comment exemplifies the excite
ment that awaits college football
fans who visit the shrine and the
experience that already has been
enjoyed by thousands.
The College Football Hall of
Fame is not only a place to see.
The National Collegiate Divi
sion III Football Championship
(Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl)
moved to the College Football
Hall of Fame's Galbreath Field in
1983. Augustana College (Illi
nois) came from behind for an
exciting 21-17 victory over Union
College (New York).
This year's championship
again will be played at Galbreath
Field on Saturday, December 8.
The Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl
will mark the culmination of a
three-week, 16-team national
play-off among the nation's most
outstanding small college foot
ball teams. Every aspect of the
play-off is under the administra
tion of the NCAA Division III
Football Committee.
Galbreath Field is a 10,000-seat
stadium located immediately ad
jacent to the College Football
Hall of Fame at Kings Island,
Ohio. The first intercollegiate
game was played at Galbreath
Field on September 12, 1981, be
tween Ashland College and the
University of Dayton.
learn and participate in the histo
ry of football, but a place to get to
know the game as it is today.
From its one-eighth mile long
Time Tunnel, which traces the
2,000-year development of the
game from ancient Greece to the
present in more than 30 time
capsules, to the Hall of Fame
Room where each of the Hall of
Famers are honored, to its fu
turistic use of computer termi
nals that allow the visitor to
match wits with the great coaches
or to call up the biographies of
every Hall of Famer, the museum
can and does bring the total col
lege football experience to life. Its
personalized approach and ac^ tion-oriented attractions have in
trigued all who have visited. As
"Sleepy" Jim Crowley, one of the
Notre Dame Four Horsemen,
simply said, "This Hall of Fame
is not in the telling or talking
about, it's in the seeing."

S
You’re right, it certainly is, but
how about all those athletes who
played the great American game
during the first 70 years — the "60minute men.”
Now that was really rough and tough
football and it challenged an athlete’s
THE
stamina as much as his skills. The col
lege football players of the 'good ol’
days ” played both offense and defense
and were in the game from the opening
kickoff to the final gun.
Unlike the game today in which 11
fresh players trot onto the field when
ever the ball goes from one team to the
other, football in the old days was
played with just 11 men.
For most of college football’s 115
years, the "60-minute men ” dominated
the sport, and it wasn’t until 1941,
when the fi'ee-substitution rule was
adopted, that there were full units of
specialists for offense and defense.
It was a mark of courage, toughness
and durability to play the entire game
in the old days and the entire game
actually was 90 minutes instead of 60
because the halves were 45 minutes,
not 30.
Substitutions were rare (most often
there were just 15 players on a team —
11 regulars and four substitutes) and a
substitute could only enter the game
when there was an injury.
On occasion, however, a tiring player
would be asked by his coach or captain
to feign an injury in order to get a fresh
player in the lineup.
Force was the name of the game and
the flying wedge was one of the most
popular plays.
One wonders how long college foot
ball would have survived as a college
sport had not President Theodore
Roosevelt intervened in the early 1900s
in the interests of safety and less brutal
play.
The story is told that Roosevelt
reacted in rage after seeing a photo
graph of an injured Swarthmore player
who had been the object of some particulairly rough play on the part of
Pennsylvania.
The sight of Bob Maxwell staggering
off the field caused Roosevelt to issue
an ultimatum to the football fathers of
THERE'S REW FIRE RT FIRESTOPE.
there on Oct. 13, 1945, when the era of
"60-minute man” finally came to an end.
On that date, Michigan was sched
uled to play one of the greatest Army
teams of all time, led by Mr. Inside and
Mr. Outside, Glenn Davis and Doc
Blanchard.
It was during World War II. Some of
the Army players were 22 and 23 years
O you think college football is a
rough, tough game?
the day;
"Clean up the game or it’ll be banned
by presidential edict.”
NUTE MEN
by Wayne DeNeff,
The Ann Arbor News
Led by Walter Camp, often called
’ The Father of Football,” the college
football people reacted quickly to
Roosevelt’s demand.
Here are some of the changes
instituted;
• Forward passing was legalized,
making the game more a game of skill.
• Mass interference plays were
eliminated.
• A neutral zone was established at
the line of scrimmage.
• The yardage for a first down was
increased from five yards to 10 yards.
So the game started to change fi'om a
pushing and shoving match to a game
of skills in which a knack for throwing
and catching the ball was as important
as wrestling an opponent in a mass of
bodies.
And legalization of the forward pass
created the glamour boy of football —
the quarterback.
Who were some of the great 60minute football players?
Almost every outstanding football
player from the birth of the game in
1869 to the free-substitution rule of
1941—Walter Camp, Pudge Heffelfinger,
Knute Rockne, Red Grange, Jim Thorpe,
Bronco Nagurski, Ernie Nevers, Alonzo
Stagg, Frank Hinkey, Willie Heston,
Chic Harley, and the list could go on
and on.
The rules makers added three little
words that made all the difference in
the world;
A substitute could enter the game "at
any time. ”
Previously, a player could not re
enter the game during the period in
which he had left.
There are times in athletics when an
innocent rule revision results in revo
lutionary changes of the sport itself. All
it takes is some ingenuity on the part of
the coaches.
And ingenuity, plus necessity, was
old, while Michigan Coach Fritz Crisler
was fielding a team of 17- and 18-yearold freshmen. Most of the older players
had been drafted into military service.
The week of the game. New York
sportswriters were calling Crisler’s
team "The Fuzz Kids” and the Cadets
were solid five-touchdown favorites.
Crisler figured there was no way he
was going to defeat Army with his best
11 against Army’s best 11, but his idea,
developed during a week of practice,
was to have one Michigan unit for
offense and one unit for defense.
It marked the beginning of two-pla
toon football.
Instead of 11 against 11, it would be
something like 22 Wolverines against
11 Cadets.
"When you have a dime and the
other guy has $1,000, ” said Crisler, "it’s
time to gamble. ”
The 70,000 spectators in Yankee
Stadium on that mid-October day
looked on in amazement as a whole
new group of Wolverines entered the
game when Michigan took over the
ball, and another new group entered
when the Wolverines went on defense.
Army scored the first two touch
downs to take a 14-0 lead but the col
lege football world was shocked when
Michigan became the first team to
score on Army that season and the lead
was trimmed to 14-7.
The harried Cadets finally scored
twice in the fourth quarter for a 28-7
victory, but Michigan’s amazing Wolver
ines were the talk of college football
that fall.
Crisler’s phone was ringing off the
hook the rest of that season as coaches
and sportswriters sought more infor
mation on the revolutionary way of
playing the game.
"Our only hope was to keep fresh
players in the game and play our best
tacklers on one unit and our best run
ners and blockers on the other unit,
said Crisler.
On that day the "60-minute man”
had passed into oblivion.

TODAY BELONGS TO JIM BEAM,
KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY, 80 PROOF, DISTIEEED AND BOTTLED BY LAMES B, BEAM DISTILLING CO,, CLERMONT. BEAM, KY,
, And Will Perry, a former SID who is
now assistant athletic director at
Michigan, answers,“An3^hing the ath
letic director wants him to do. Don
Canham had more ideas than I had
arms and legs. We launched vast
marketing, direct mail and advertising
programs out of the SID office in 1968
(before there were promotion and
marketing directors in athletic depart
ments). Canham once told CoSIDA
(College Sports Information Directors
of America) years ago, make yourself
valuable to the department or they are
going to hire someone to do the job that
you can do.’ That’s exactly what
happened. ”
In answer to the question, Hal Bate
man, the SID at the U.S. Air Force
Academy, sent a job summation written
by an anonymous SID:
The Sports Information Director
“He’s a phenom; a mental and physi
cal marvel. He must be able to eat like
Hoss Cartwright, drink like Dean
Martin, write like Grantland Rice and
have Bill Toomey’s stamina. El SID must
be as suave as Cary Grant, as unshak
able as John Wayne and as cool-headed
as James Bond...
“The Sports Publicity Man finishes
his duties at midnight and no one sees
him stumbling down the steps in the
dark, a typewriter under one arm, ditto
machine under the other, brief case in
his teeth and throbbing pain in his
head... So if it looks like a job for Su
perman, it is.’’
However, Mark D. Colone of the Uni
versity of North Carolina-Charlotte
offers another viewpoint: “When I first
walked into Marty Rasnake’s office aS a
fi'eshman I didn’t know what a SID was.
That’s how unnoticed our profession
is. I accepted a very small scholarship
and began my life in this rewarding
profession. My first job entailed the
simple job of shagging errant soccer
balls as they went out of bounds. And I
Went expecting to be the official scorer!
I got that job after the game and my ca
reer took off! I’m now the youngest SID
in Division I in the country.’’
One of the veterans. Bill Whitmore of
Rice, a CoSIDA past president who re
tired this summer, offered this philoso
phy: “’At least they let us in the game
fi'ee and give us a good seat and a meal.”
What does the SID do?
Maxey Parrish of Baylor answers:
“The question might be better posed,
‘What does the SID NOT do?’ Some
times when I look at what I do and what
it takes to do my job well, it’s almost
scary.
“Between press releases, statistics.
brochures, media guides, recruiting
material) posters, newsletters, hosting
events, travel to other events and gener
ally being the athletic department’s
representative to the public and the
media, the different duties pile up. But
the bottom line, in addition to doing all
the things normally associated with a
SID, is to be accessible and helpful. A
SID can have lots offaults but lack of ac
cessibility CANNOT be one of them. ”
“The increase in electronic media
coverage has made my job more diffi
cult now after 17years in the business,”
Bateman ofthe Air Force submits. “This
really has spread the SID very thin
since the print and electronic boys con
stantly are vying for the SID’s attention,
which puts you in a difficult situation. ”
George Wine, SID at the University of
Iowa, raises a point on a tough facet of
the job: ”At some schools the SID is to
service the coaches, not the media. For
tunately, I have always been able to
convince my bosses that I am an infor
mation person first and a publicist sec
ond. The campus phone book one year
listed me as 'Sports Informant’ which
sounds a little like Watergate’s “Deep
Throat.’ But that’s the toughest part of
the SID job.”
Johnny (Ranger) Keith, formerly of
O^ahoma U. and now at New Mexico,
agrees, adding, “Coaches think you are
solely a promoter of their athletes.
Maybe so, in a small way. But the title
Sports Information Director means to
me you’re a news service more than a
promotional tool.
"Probably the most important phase
of the job,” Keith adds, “is serving as a
liaison between coaches, athletes, staff
and the media, solving their differen
ces, explaining to one party why the
other does this or that, and getting the
parties together when necessary.
A sports information director who
goes home at 5 p.m. isn’t doing his job.
If I came home at 5 p.m. my wife would
shoot me for breaking and entering,”
Keith added.
David Housel of Auburn agrees, con
tributing, Too many SID’s are afraid of
losing their jobs. The good SID must act
as the middleman and he continually
walks a tight rope between the media
and the coach, defending the coach
when necessary. He must not be afraid
to tell a coach he is wrong. He — the SID
— is a paid professional and he is just
as important in his area of expertise as
coaches are in their areas.”
Not all SID’s have this problem. Mike
Treps of Oklahoma is a lucky one. "We
are fortunate in that our coaches do not
believe in closed practices or locker
rooms, so there is little trouble getting
anyone you need. The fact you cart
promise a writer or broadcaster he or
she can have access to the coach, or
athlete of their choice without having
to contact the coach or athlete is a big
help in my job. ”
Interviews, expecially with a great
star, can pose problems, as Claude
Felton of Georgia reminds in the case of
Herschel Walker.
“In Herschel’s freshman year, we
were receiving 12-15 interview requests
a day, fi'om all over the country, and 95
percent of them were for in-person in
terviews. Time was a premium, but one
writer from San Francisco flew to
Atlanta, drove 65 miles to Athens,
talked to Herschel for 20 minutes, and
flew back home,” Felton marveled.
It’s the unusual which makes the SID
job interesting, or heartbreaking.
Jim Garner, now athletic director at
Appalachian State but formerly SID at
Texas Christian, admits, “My most
memorable moments deal with
tragedy. In 1971, our head football
coach, Jim Pittman, died on the side
lines of a heart attack during a game at
Waco; in the spring of 1972, his replace
ment, Billy Tohill, had a terrible auto ac
cident and had a foot amputated, .^nd
in 1974 halfback Kent Waldrep suffered
a paralyzing injury in a game against
Alabama. In each case, handling the
media called for special tact.”
Mike Wilson of Washington re
members a not-so-tragic incident in
volving Bob Murphy of Stanford.
“While there are many stories of
coaches leaving the SID’s at the airport,
Murphy did one better, ” Mike contrib
utes. “In the days before hijackings, it
was not uncommon for the SID to drive
his car loaded with media people right
on the runway, unload and have the air
line people turn the car in to the rental
agency at the airport. That’s exactly
what Murphy did, and it wasn’t until
the plane was 10,000 feet off the ground
he realized he still had the rental car
keys in his pocket. He never heard how
they got that car off the runway.”
But maybe the biggest crisis was
faced by Marv Homan of Ohio State,
who reminds: "I was an assistant in the
mid-’50s and the Big Ten Skywriters
were making their visit to Columbus. As
I was greeting the writers as they left
the bus for our practice, some of the
early departures were coming back.
Coach Woody Hayes had barred the
gates for the press. Eventually, Woody
left practice and talked to the writers,
but the reception was short of cordial.”

Nick Vista of Michigan State still
shudders over one of his embarrassing
moments.
"It was Michigan State-Ohio State on
national TV in 1972 when I was assis
tant to Fred Stabley, ” Nick shuddered.
"For the first time in my career, I didn’t
check the uniform numbers. We launch
a drive and I'm on the lower photo deck
when it appears our drive is stalled and
we ll kick a field goal. I spot a No. 5
warming up and I suddenly realize we
don’t have a No.>5 on the roster. Much to
my horror, I realize it’s a soccer player
of Dutch descent brought up by Duffy
late in the week from the junior varsity.
His name is Dirk Kryt. I knew I had the
J.V roster in my brief case, but by the
time I got there Dirk had booted a 23yard field goal, the first of four he was to
kick that afternoon.
"We finally got the word to everyone
who the kicker was, but we didn’t have
the name spelled right nor did we pro
nounce it correctly. Keith Jackson
never lets me forget that error. ” '
Publicity men get blamed for many
things, but Haywood Harris of Tennes
see takes the prize.
"It was my duty to see the bus was at
the airport when the team arrived on
Friday afternoon, ” he admits. "But
when the team was aboard, the bus
wouldn’t start. The driver gave the
coach the bad news the fan belt was
broken.
"The coach yelled. Hey, Haywood,
didn’t you check the fan belt?’ and the
only retort I could make was a weak,
'Well, coach, it was working last time I
looked. ”’
Jack Zane of Maryland won’t forget
the night the lights went out in Virginia,
either.
"When I was at George Washington,
we played a few games in Alexandria
and Arlington, Va.,’’ he prompted. ‘We
were playing The Citadel and had the
papers all on Saturday night deadlines.
The moment the 12,000 fans left the sta
dium, all the lights were turned offi The
stadium manager informed me we had
rented the stadium for the game and
the game was over. It took a little cash to
get the lights on for the press box.
"The Oyster Bowl stadium in Norfolk
had the Telex machines on the ground
floor and the press stories were sent
down by pneumatic tubes. I went to the
Western Union with some special in
structions, only to find no copy had
come down the tubes, the containers
being stuck between floors. Everyone
had to start writing all over.’’
Ralph Carpenter, of Texas A & M, but
then of Texas Tech, remembers a
smashing experience, “The athletic di

rector and I were planning to take a
plane from Lubbock to Dallas and as
usual, we were late starting. In haste to
get his bags in the car, I left my suitcase
right behind the rear wheel and when
we backed out... Well, you should see
me walking through the lobby with my
Fruit of the Loom undies.hanging out of
the battered bag.”
Will Perry recalled the time the
county health inspector closed all the
concessions in the Michigan stadium,
including the stand which sent the box
lunches for the writers in the press box.
He also mentions the case of the miss
ing pencil sharpener in the press box.
"Everything was in order, until Joe
Falls from the Free Press complained
about the lack of a pencil sharpener,
and sure enough, someone had stolen
it, just as someone had from my pre
decessor, Les Etter, years before,” Will
recalled.
There are many stories of the SID
facing a frozen mimeograph machine,
but legend says it was Wilbur Snypp of
Ohio State who solved the problem by
pouring a fifth of vodka into the frozen
ink well and everything came out fine.
Butch Henry of Arizona and formerly
at Arkansas points out the hardships of
a family-man SID.
"Our first child was born on a Satur
day in October. My wife came out of the
delivery room, we named the child and
I caught the plane for Dayton and
walked into the press box as they were
playing the National Anthem. Our sec
ond child was born on the last day of
the Arkansas Relays.
"My wife called the press box to say
she was ready to go to the hospital.
Soon as the prelims of the mile relay
were over I rushed home, took her to
the hospital and told her, ‘Hang on un
til the mile relay finals are over.’
"Sure enough, I saw the winning
team break the tape and still made it to
the delivery room on time. Maybe this
is why we have only two children,”
Butch laughed.
Maybe the best answer to "What does
the SID do?” was supplied by Rich
Brewer: "I got a phone call from a guy in
Norfolk who told me he was interested
in replacing me at Carolina and wanted
to know who he should contact about
it. He was quite seripus and said he was
tired of his job and liked Chapel Hill.
"Then he asked the key question:
What exactly do you do?’ I couldn’t
answer him then and I can’t now. ”
Vista, also a former CoSIDA presi
dent, sums it up: "Write what you want,
but please remember that we couldn’t
be in a more exciting or rewarding busi
ness. Working with the thousands of
fine student-athletes over theyears and
meeting the hundreds of media folks
has been something. We may not get
our glory, or our pay, or even our just
return, but kicks we do get to boot.”^

CONFERENCE COMMISSIONER
continued
"kicked upstairs” and could be a good
ol’ boy commissioner who showed up
every Saturday in the fall at a different
football stadium and at the conference
meeting in the spring.
I was the youngest commissioner in
the nation when I started in the Big
Eight Conference at age 34,” says
Wayne Duke of the Big Ten. "I thought I
knew all the answers, but found out I
didn’t know half the questions.”
Managing and maintaining peace in
a conference is often revvarding, often
frustrating in the ever-changing world
of collegiate athletics. Indeed, because
so many decisions are made in the
courtroom these days, a law degree
might be helpful. And with television’s
megabucks being such an integral part
of the sports scene, a commissioner
had better loiow about such things as
ratings, markets and contracts, and be
on a first-name basis with network
executives.
The role of commissioner has ex
panded considerably in recent years,”
says Dick Martin of the Missouri Valley
Conference. "A commissioner must be
involved with TV, promotion and mar
keting much more now. Frankly, much
of my time is spent on TV.
"Then there are such things as eligi
bility and enforcement, which are very
important. There are more issues to
day, such as financial pressures on
institutions.”
Martin served in various athletic
capacities to prepare himself to be
a commissioner. He was a high school
and college football coach, a college
athletic director and was a Big Eight
administrator.
Duke didn’t coach and wasn’t an ath
letic director, bur came from a public
relations background to work for the

tion and was commissioner of the Big
Eight before going to the Big Ten.
One thing Duke, or any other com
missioner, can’t be is a fan.
I m not an Iowa Hawkeye, a Michi
gan Wolverine or a Wisconsin Badger, ”
says Duke. "I’m all those people. Every
one must realize that what a commis
sioner does is for the common good.
I actually consider myself a very pri
vate person, but as commissioner of the
Big Ten I feel I’m working in a fishbowl.
We re sitting in a very large geographi
cal base, which means we have a large
number of followers, as well as some
critics.
Even though I’m a sensitive person,
I can accept the criticism of people if
they know what we as a conference are
doing is for the good of all 10 teams. ”
Duke feels commissioners are often
given too much credit when something
good happens and too much blame
when something not so good happens.
"We have a lot of influence at such
things as NCAA meetings, but have
different roles,” Duke commented. "I
hope people respect me for what I say.
But I feel I don’t carry any more weight
than the commissioner of any other
conference.”
Duke is in charge of a conference of
fice that employs 18 persons. The Big
Ten, with its lucrative Rose bowl con
tract and its ability to put an unusual
number of teams in other bowl games
and national basketball tournaments,
is viewed with envy around the country.
Although Duke won’t say so, much of
the reason the Big Ten has fared so well
in those areas is because of him and his
years of experience in working with in
fluential persons at the national level.
By the same token, there also may be
a "backlash” effect in other leagues be
cause of the success the Big Ten has

had.
"I know my job is much mdre com
plex than it was years ago, ” said Duke.
"In the old days, a football man might
be moved upstairs to the conference of
fice to assign officials for games, and
that was about all there was to his job.’’
Fred Jacoby was commissioner of the
.the Mid-American Conference from
1971-82, and has been in charge of the
Southwest Conference ever since.
"My feeling is that a conference office
has two functions—service and regula
tion, ” says Jacoby, who adds that his
job is "on my mind seven days a week. ”
Jacoby wishes he had more time to
digest all the things there are to read in
regard to his job. He spends a consid
erable amount of time talking on the
telephone about rules and the interpre
tation of them. Every night he takes
home a briefcase filled with materials
he hasn’t had time to deal with in his
office.
"We have nine men’s sports and
eight women’s sports in the Southwest
Conference,’’ Jacoby said, "and finan
cing is a very big item. We make money
from football, TV, the conference post
season basketball tournament and a lit
tle from baseball in men’s sports, but
the women have no sports in which re
ceipts exceed expenses.’’
Because Jacoby spent many years as
a coach, he admits having a "sensitivity
to coaches and the recruiting process.
It would help to have a law background
so you could understand the legal pro
cess,’’ he said. "The job is more difficult
than it was in the 1970s because of so
many legal matters.
But I think those of us who have a
background in coaching have an advan
tage in being a commissioner. I can re
late to the coach’s position.’’
Jacoby said the most dramatic
change in the commissioner’s job has
been the growth of women’s programs.
He feels there are more rewards than
frustrations on the job "because there’s
so much variety."
Variety is something Tom Hansen of
the Pac-10 is used to. Hansen, who has
been executive director of the Pac-10
since August of 1983, spent 15 years on
the staff of the National Collegiate Ath
letic Association (NCAA) where he was
involved in all facets of the admini
stration of intercollegiate athletics. As
Fred Jacoby
Commissioner —
Southwest Conference
head of the NCAA Communication De
partment he directed, among other
things, all the Association’s activities in
public relations and marketing.
Hansen’s appointment at the Pac-10
is a kind of "coming home,” since he
spent six years in the 1960s as director
of public relations for the Athletic Asso
ciation of Western Universities — the
forerunner of the Pacific-10 Conference.
"I have found that being executive
director or commissioner of a major
conference is one of the most chal
lenging and invigorating positions in
the world of athletic administration,”
said Hansen. "The primary charge is to
provide service and leadership to the
member institutions of the conference.
But there are many publics to be served.
While we are primarily concerned with
the administration of athletic programs,
it must be remembered that these pro
grams fall within the larger context of
higher education, in the case of the
Pac-10 some of the country’s foremost
institutions of higher learning. You
also are operating in the very real world
of-business, and in this day and age, a
solid grasp of both fiscal and legal
matters are a necessity. All of this is
done under the glare of considerable
attention. In short, you wear many hats.”
Steve Hatchell, commissioner of the
Metropolitan Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference, commonly called the
Metro, would like to be a fan, but knows
he can’t.
‘You go to a game and cheer for the
guys wearing the black and white shirts
—the officials, ” said Hatchell. "You
hope they make all the right calls.”
The Metro is primarily a basketball
conference, but all the schools play
football on an indepehdent basis. In a
way, it surprised Hatchell that he was
picked for the job l^st year.
"At my age (36), L didn’t think there
would be much opportunity to be a
commissioner, ” said Hatchell, who was
in the Big Eight office at the time. "But
the Metro expressed an interest in me,
and I pursued the job.”
Patty Viverito took office as the first
commissioner of the women’s Gateway
Collegiate Athletic Conference two
years ago, and calls it a "fun job — the
most rewarding I’ve ever had.”
Viverito studied marketing in college,
worked as a sales representative, went
back to college to study sports manage
ment and calls herself a "frustrated
jock.”
"You serve as a mediator,” she says.
"We have 10 schools and nine sports. At
national meetings, women are starting
to be noticed. When those running the
meetii^gs see five or six skirts in the
room, they say, 'Well, now, howwill this
ruling concern women?’ It used to be
that women weren’t really heard from. ”
The biggest change for Lou McCul
lough, commissioner of the TransAmerica Conference — primarily a
basketball league — is that now he is re
sponsible for 10 teams instead of one.
Before going to the Trans-America, he
was the athletic director at Iowa State.
"We’re a small conference,” said
McCullough, "and money is our big
problem.”
Ken Free is commissioner of the Mid
eastern Athletic Conference. He thinks .
commissioners must be marketing ex
perts more than in the past. "You have
to be a super-salesman, ” Free said, “in
order to bring in the needed revenue.”
Free said much qf his job entails
"making sure our schools play by the
rules and continue in the pursuit of
excellence.”

certain is that he will not be playing
Don Knotts’ character on something
called Mayberry RF3D.
Twenty years ago, Butkus never
dreamed television dreams. In 1964, all
that mattered to him was winning. Being
an All-America didn’t give him the rush
it had the previous autumn.
“It wasn’t that big a deal,” he remem
bers. “I was an All-America my junior
year (1963) and we went to the Rose
Bowl. In 1964, we were picked to win
the Big Ten, but at that time, you
couldn’t repeat as the conference rep
resentative to the Rose Bowl.
"We got off to a bad start our senior
year. It was a pretty disappointing sea
son for us.”
Far more disappointing perhaps
than last season and the end of “Blue
Thunder.”
" 'Blue Thunder’ ’ ’ was a good oppor
tunity,” he said. “I took it because it was
good experience and to show that I was
serious about television and about
acting. I decided that maybe two years
ago. I wasn’t thinking about making it a
career until then.
“But I began to realize that I really
liked the little bit of acting I had done
and I just decided to move everybody
out here to California. So far it’s worked
out. I’m considering various offers for
the next television season and there
might be a movie deal coming up too.”
And the beer commercials.
“Oh, yeah. I just shot another one. ”
And now back to Dallas.
Dallas is the real life address of Ralph
Neely, who runs Ralph Neely and
Associates, a real estate development
corporation. Neely, a Cowboy for his
entire career, played the game so well
he joined Butkus and Sayers on the Pro
Football Hall of Fame selection com
mittee’s all-pro team of the 1960s.
Unlike Butkus, being an All-America
at Oklahoma in 1964 made a great deal
of difference in Neely’s future.
“It was one of the real big deals that
happened to me sports-wise, ” Neely
remembers. "I hadn’t thought about
playing football professionally until I
got to college. I went there to get an
education. I always thought that if foot
ball came along, it came along.
"Well, it came along and I played 13
years professionally, but I didn’t know
if I could make it at one point. ”
Rick Redman was a force at Washing
ton In 1964.
All-America wide receiver Jack Snow
was a standout at Notre Dame.
Help^g to assuage Neely’s fears was
his 19^4 All-America selection at offen
sive tackle. You see, he knew he could
play defense, because he’d been selected
All-America at defensive tackle in 1963.
"In 19631 played both ways, actually, ”
Neely said. “ I averaged 50 minutes a
game or something like that. In 1964,
they put in the free substitution rule
and the coaches told me they were
going to move me to offense and keep
me there. ”
The 1964 season was not a particu
larly good one at Oklahoma, which put
it in common with any season in which

"I guess if you really want to put it in
perspective, that was a big deal,” said
Frederickson. “I wasn’t expecting any
thing like that, but I wound up being
the first player taken in the draft by the
Giants. ”
The Giants selected a running back
who would have a fine rookie season.
But Frederickson had knee surgery in
each of the next two seasons and had a
very painful time hanging on until 1971,
when his career ended.
“I guess being an All-America had a
lot to do with me coming to New York
and getting into New York business and
into New York life,” Frederickson said.
“Those things are very important to me
now.”
In 1963, football was very important
to Notre Dame. It just didn’t look that
way. And that’s why what happened at
South Bend 20 years ago this fall seems
so incredible.
Ara Parseghian was Notre Dame’s
new coach charged with shaking down
some of the old thunder.
Hugh Devore, in one miserable year
at the helm, had gone 2-7. Joe Kuharich,
in the four years previous, did not pro
duce a single winning team. In the
three years prior to the arrival of Par
seghian, Notre Dame never had to worry
about the strength of its bench, specifi
cally because the condition of its
starters was plenty enough to produce
widespread handwringing.
Yet from that same virtually useless
bench, Parseghian would excavate two
players who would not only become AllAmerica, but who would spark Notre
Dame to a national championship in the
process.
They were wide receiver Jack Snow
and quarterback John Huarte.
“Being an All-America in that season
is something I’ll always remember be
cause of what transpired in that year, ”
said Snow, who does color commen
tary for CBS college telecasts and works
for IDB, a building and developing com
pany in Seal Beach, Calif "I hadn’t done
much until that year. To accomplish as
much as we did accomplish that sea
son was really something. And it was
something to come off the bench and
finish fifth in the Heisman voting. ”

It wasn’t until their final game at USC
that the Irish stumbled.
“Typical USC stuff, ” Snow said. “We
were No. 1 and unbeaten. We led at the
half 17-0 and lost 20-17. ”
Nonetheless, Notre Dame was given
the MacArthur Bowl as the nation’s top
team at season’s end.
"It was just remarkable because we
were under a new coach with a lot of
new players who had never played to

rom the beginning, we had grass,
those soft green blades to carpet
our land, and most importantly,
our athletic arenas.
Grass had personality. You could
grow it, cut it, shape it, even vary the
shades of it to suit any whim, not to
mention athletic ability. Fast teams
were into the crew cut. Slow teams
were into the rarely cut. Accusations
inevitably were levied. Advantages were
gained, albeit they were mostly
psychological.
Then, as we explored space, got into
synthetics and were enamored with
the creation of artificial substitutes for
milk, potatoes, sweetners and whatnot,
grass was no exception. We created
artificial grass for our athletic arenas
first, then for our very own porches.
Artificial turf had no personality. You
couldn’t grow it, you laid it. You
couldn’t cut it or shape it, you sewed it.

faster, but bad teams rarely became
better. It became a status symbol, as do
most artificial substitutes.
But now, in the year foretold by
George Orwell, with Big Brother still a
little ways off, the rush for artificial sur
faces in college football has entered its
remission stage. Since we’ve grown so
accustomed to this stuff which does
not grow, it no longer is a telltale differ

had been down eight years, and the
fibers were wearing thin. So was trac

since 1970. It was time for a third.
To replace the artificial turf would
have cost roughly $475,000, and that
did not include the possibility of having
to replace the seven-to-eight inches of
asphalt padding underneath. If that
had been the case, the cost would have
nearly doubled.

to nothing, except for a little white
wash on the lines and maybe a new
carpet every eight years or so. Mainten

roughly $10,000 ayear, but much of that
IS already being paid for the upkeep of
existing grass practice fields.
There was another consideration.
Heat Southern fall afternoons are not

THE
ONE-BACK OFFENSE
Why Don't We See More of it in Coliege Football?
I»y Joe McLaughlin
Houston Chronicle
he One-back Offense in college
football, up to the present time,
has been about as scarce as the
whooping crane.
An offense which has been employed
almost exclusively by the professionals
has never made much of an impression
in college football.
Why? To begin with, college coaches
have stubbornly adhered to the belief
T
DBliDj
with some justification, that passing
teams don’t win championships. And,
the One-back Offense is basically a
passing formation.
Historically, coaches have been cor
rect in their assumptions. One would
be hard-pressed to name a national
champion or, in most cases, a confer
ence champion which was an advocate
of the One-back Offense.
College coaches, in the main, have
stuck to the premise that three things
can happen when you throw the foot
ball, and two of them are bad.
Proponents of the One-back Offense,
however, point out legitimate reasons
why this thinking has been prevalent.
One coach says, “College football has
always been trendy. One team will

THE ONE-BACK OFFENSE
concept has been
that if you are throwing the ball a lot,
you are usually behind and tiying to
catch up. And passing is the quickest
way to do it.
One-back Offense theories explain
the difference: “The philosophy is this, ”
says one coach. “You go into the game
with the idea that you want to throw
tri6 ball; not that you hBve to.
There are three ways to throw the
ball: (1) down field; (2) control passing;
and (3) option passing. The ideal is to
control the ball by passing, much like
running teams control it on the
ground.
“You can’t run the One-back Offense
without a good, sharp quarterback,”
the coach continued, “because his
hands are on the ball all the time. It's
the most quarterback offense’ in
football.
“A lot of coaches don’t want that
much pressure on one man. But a sharp
quarterback can handle it. That has
been proven. The key is for your quar
terback to control the ball, have a good
defense and not to revert to running
when you get close to scoring.
You tiy to let your predominant
ballcarrier have the ball. You get four
receivers out real quickly, spreading
the other team’s defense. You hope to
catch the defense in a lot of one-on-one
situations.
"Once again, to control the ball passthrow high-percentage passes
and don’t often go deep down field.
First of all, the coaches must believe
m the offense and your kids must be
lieve in it. It is a sound offense if it is
organized properly.”
Run properly, the One-back Offense
IS highly effective, proponents claim.
In the first place, ” says one coach,
not niany people can just line up and
blow the opponent’s defense away. It is
easier to teach pass blocking, especially
since the rules have changed where an
offensive lineman can use his hands if
he is in a retreat block or giving ground.
That s one reason even predominant
running teams now are throwing more.”
Most college coaches agree that the
day is gone when one team can line up
and simply overpower another one

come out with something new, have
some success with it, and all of a sud
den everyone is trying it. It happened
that way with all the offenses — the
Single and Double Wings, the Split
Backs, the Veer, the Wishbone, the I
and the Multiple Offense.
If a few more teams start having
s^e success with the One-back
Offense, you will see more college
coaches turning to it.”

week m and week out. Consequently,
the traditional running teams are now
passing more.
"One reason for that, ” a coach says,
IS that everybody is putting their best
athletes on defense, and the offense
has to find new ways to move the ball ”
Another coach says, "If a One-back
Offense team knows what it is doing.
It s the hardest to defense. With four
receivers going out, a defense generally
can take two of them away, but with
four it’s tough.
■Then they say. Well, the defense
then ^11 put seven defensive backs
into the game.’ That’s what you would
love to see if you are a One-back
offensive coach. That way you have the
other people guessing all the time.
Then you can come back with your
traps, draws, counters and sweeps It’s
a constant cat-and-mouse game ”
eall^ a team will pass about 50 per
cent of the time in a One-back Offense
If you are throwing 75 percent of the
ime, you re usually tiying to catch up.
Many passing teams get the ball in
scoring position and then turn to the
run, and most often, fail. The key to the
One-bacl^is that you start with the pass
and y^ finish with it. ”
"Perhaps the most successful passing
team in the college ranks is Brigham
Young University, says one coach. “They
are not strictly a One-back Offense, even
though their philosophy is similar. A
lot of the West Coast teams are using it
more-probably more than any other
section of the country.”
Like most changes in college football
strategy the popularity of One-back
Offense has developed at many places
because of necessity. Most teams don’t,
and can’t, line up and beat a Texas or a
Penn State head to head. It’s a fact of
life. Consequently, coaches are trying
to find new ways to balance those
inequities.
As one coach put it, “The One-back
Offense is becoming more popular in
college. But you still have to have key
personnel in any offense. There is no
real answer to all the problems, be
cause there is none.”
But the One-back Offense is another
exciting chapter in the game.

Its a close game.

The Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference is one of
the few leagues in the nation to sponsor a championship
game in football. The East vs. West conference champion
ship game, known as the "State Game,” has been in
existence since 1960. Mythical champions were picked by
sportswriters from 1934 until 1950 with the champion
determined by the Saylor system from 1951 until 1959.
All members of the conference (with individual sports
exceptions) compete at the NCAA Division II level and have
since 1980. Athletes and teams have won numerous
honors in national competitions over the years and have
helped the PSAC become one of the most respected "small
college" conferences in the nation.
A list of member schools with their football affiliation
includes: Eastern Division — Bloomsburg University,
Cheyney University, East Stroudsburg University, Kutztown University, Mansfield University, Millersville Uni
versity, West Chester University; Western Division —
California University, Clarion University, Edinboro Uni
versity, Indiana University, Lock Haven University, Shippensburg University, Slippery Rock University.
