President McNerney*s 1967 Welcome Message
This year the Edinboro State College has an en
rollment of 4,892 students on three campuses. By
far the greater number, 4,350 are here at Edinboro
and the remaining 542 are divided between the Shenango Valley Off-Campus Center located at Hickory
Township High School and the Warren Area OffCampus Center at Warren.
You will notice the new construction taking place
on the campus. If you are seated on the permanent
bleachers, to your right is the major dormitory
building project. Two dormitories which will house
four hundred students each will be completed by
September 1968, two additional ones by September
1969, and two more by September 1970. As you came
through the campus toward the stadium, you noticed
the lake which is becoming a reality, the world cul
tures building, and the new student infirmary build
ing, all of which are ahead of construction schedule.
During this school year, construction will begin on a
maintenance building and the new dining hall. The
completion of plans for the new field house - gym
nasium and student union will be finalized during
this school year also. By this time next year, to the
north of the stadium, a new baseball stadium will
appear as a reality. In addition to these projects,
much renovation is occurring in the old buildings on
campus and it is my hope that you will tour the
buildings to observe this renovation.
The faculty of the College now numbers 236 mem
bers. It is a cosmopolitan group recruited mainly
from the eastern part of the United States. The ma
jor part of this faculty, new and old, are professors
of advanced academic degrees earned at outstand
ing American universities. In addition to the teach
ing which they do with a high degree of excellence,
the faculty also evaluates and develops the curric
ulum of the College and it is interesting to observe
the growth in the quantity and quality of faculty re
search type activities.
The incoming student body is of good quality. Its
origins are basically in Northwestern Pennsylvania
but a good sprinkling of students come from other
parts of the Commonwealth, from other states, and
there are representatives on the campus from sev
eral foreign nations.
It is interesting to note the growth of the resources
available for teaching and learning. For example,
the Hamilton Library which had a collection of 60,000
volumes when it was dedicated in 1962 now has
160,000 volumes. Also interesting to note is the ex
panded use of “teaching tools” such as closed cir
cuit television.
You, the Alumni of the College, have always been
generous in your support of the activities of the Col
lege and I know that each of you and your friends
will continue being active supporters of this, your
Alma Mater.
I welcome this opportunity to say “Hello” to each
one of you.

where he earned his Master’s degree.
He and his wife, Joyce, along with his 6 children,

Head Coach William Catcher
WILLIAM CUTCHER
In March of 1966, William Cutcher accepted the
position of head varsity coach at Edinboro State Col
lege.
Cutcher began his new duties as Highlander grid
mentor at Edinboro during spring football practice,
April 22-May 15, 1966.
Prior to his appointment as head grid coach at
Edinboro, Cutcher served as head football mentor at
Central High School, Phoenix, Arizona. When he as
sumed the head coaching berth at Central High in
1964, Cutcher inherited a team which finished the
previous season with an 0-10 football record. During
his first year as head coach at the school, his team
recorded three victories and seven defeats. In 1965
during his second season as grid mentor, Cutcher’s
team reversed their record to seven victories and
only three defeats.
Before serving as Central High’s grid mentor,
Cutcher was varsity line coach at Persell High
School, Cincinnati, Ohio. Under his direction, Persell
was the Greater Cincinnati High School Champions
for 1952, 1953, 1955, 1959, and 1960. In addition, he
served nine years as head varsity basketball coach
at Persell and head varsity track coach for seven
years, 1952-1959.
Cutcher’s high school football career record con
tains 102 victories, 30 defeats and 6 ties.
Cutcher competed in collegiate gridiron competi
tion at the University of Dayton for four years on
the varsity squad. In 1952 he participated in the
“Salad Bowl” in Phoenix, Arizona, against the Uni
versity of Houston, Texas. Cutcher graduated from
the University of Dayton with a B.S. degree in
physical education. He earned his M.Ed. degree
from Xavier University, Cincinnati, in 1958.
Hard hit by the loss of many key personnel through
academic ineligibilities and injuries. Coach Cutcher’s
first grid season at Edinboro State College was
marked with a disappointed 1-6-1 record.

1967 Hishlander Varsity Football Squad
1967 Outlook
sible candidates. Heading the pack is “Chico” Pollick, a 5’11”, 175-pound sophomore from Springdale,
who appears to have the edge in the passing depart
ment. Tom Mackey, a sophomore from Dormont, in
jured his knee while piloting the frosh squad last sea
son, but it is reported that he will return and be
ready to go.
Defensively, the Highlanders are spearheaded by
6’3”, 280-pound senior tackle, Steve Nishnik, and Jim
Jaruszewicz, 5’11”, 200-pound linebacker. Ed Hol
lins, 6’2”, 195 pounds, and Lee Maitland, 6’0”, 195
pounds, will team up at the defensive end positions.
Battle-tested senior Bob Koleno will be the key
man in the deep secondary.
The addition of several promising junior college
prospects could prove to be a key factor in solving
some of the offensive problems.
Among these are 5’11”, 210-pound halfback-quarter
back, A1 Barbati; 6’0”, 290-pound guard, Paul Belosh; and 5’11”, 205-pound halfback, Ben Haberman.
Another plus factor is Coach Cutcher’s plans for a
two-platoon system, an offensive and defensive unit.
This will take the pressure off those players who
were forced to go both ways last season because of
the squads numerous injuries and lack of adequate
personnel.
Head football coach Bill Cutcher is optimistic about his second season at the helm of the Highland
ers because he has a good nucleus of young, eager,
and aggressive ballplayers. The success of Edinboro’s 1967 gridiron campaign relies heavily on how
quickly prospects from last year’s fine freshman
crop can fill gaps in key positions on the varsity
club. On the basis of spring practice, the ’67 edition
of Highlander hopefuls should have more speed,
quickness, and over-all depth. The squad is young
as far as class rank is concerned but is studded with
“seasoned” ballplayers and veteran performers.
The offensive unit will be bolstered by the return
of John Mikovich, 5’9”, 195-pound hard-running junior
halfback who missed action last season. Sophomores
John Guerrasio, 5’11”, 205 pounds, and “Smokey”
Santillo, 5’10”, 185 pounds, are expected to battle for
the other halfback slot. Both have excellent speed.
Bob Grief, 5’11”, 205-pound senior should ward off
all competition at the fullback spot.
Leading the list of offensive linemen are seniors
Dave Brandel, 6’2”, 230 pounds; Dan Bissontz, 6’1”,
216 pounds; and junior John Ballard, 6’3”, 227 pounds.
Biggest worry is Mike Malone’s replacement at
the quarterback slot. Coach Cutcher claims that the
position is “up for grabs” among three or four pos

Slippery Rock Coaching Staff
ROBERT DiSPIRITO
LARRY PASQUALE
Head Football Coach
Defensive Backfield Coach
In his first year as Slippery Rock’s head coach,
DiSpirito is a native of Rhode Island. An outstanding
guard for Rhode Island University, he made the All
Yankee Conference first team in both his junior and
senior year, and was chosen Little-All-American his
senior year.
DiSpirito has been coaching since 1953, and moved
into college coaching in 1958. In 1960 he became head
coach at the University of Bridgeport, and in five
years as head coach had four winning seasons. After
his stay at Bridgeport, DiSpirito was first assistant
at Bucknell for two years. Besides his high school
and college coaching experience, the new Rocket
coach served as head coach for his regimental team
at Ft. Dix, N.J., from 1954 to 1956.
Pasquale played under DiSpirito at Bridgeport and
impressed the new Rocket coach as being a “heady”
or thinking ballplayer. Pasquale has rejoined Di
Spirito and serves as defensive backfield coach and
defensive co-ordinator.
STAN KONDRACKI
Line Coach
Stan was an outstanding football and baseball
player at Denison University. He captained both the
football and baseball teams at Denison in 1964 and
was chosen most valuable player in both sports.
Kondracki came to Slippery Rock in 1965 as a
graduate assistant and head freshman coach. In
1966 he moved up to the varsity as offensive line
coach where he will also coach this year.
ROD OBERLIN
Backfield Coach
Oberlin, offensive backfield coach and offensive co
ordinator, is another new face on the Rocket coach
ing staff. Rod lettered in football, basketball and
baseball at Hillsdale College, Michigan. He quarterbacked Hillsdale’s 1949 undefeated football team.
After graduation from Hillsdale, Oberlin played
several years of professional baseball in the Cleve
land Indian organization. He began coaching in 1953
and moved to Bucknell in 1956, where he served as
head baseball and assistant football coach for eleven
years. Oberlin is considered to be a top specialist
at developing football talent. He will instruct on the
Health and Physical Education staff.
DOUGLAS CLINGER
Freshman Coach
A native of Oil City, Clinger was an outstanding
football player for the Oilers. Doug is a Slippery
Rock alumnus and served as team trainer in foot
ball and track. Before coming back to Slippery Rock
last year as freshman coach, Doug coached at Grove
City High and Northwestern High. He also put in a
stint as an assistant coach at Arizona State Univer
sity.

1967 must be considered a rebuilding year for the
Rockets. Coach DiSpirito inherited a young, light, in
experienced team. At least eight, and possibly more,
sophomores will start either on offense or defense.
Only six lettermen dot the squad, and most of them
are playing new positions.

Spring practice illuminated one fact though, the
1967 Rockets ara full of fire and spirit. Whether or
not spirit can overcome inexperience remains to be
seen, but one thing is sure, the Rockets will play
tough, hard-nosed football. There is only one kind of
boy on this year’s Rocket squad, the kind who likes
to hit.

President McNerney*s 1967 Welcome Message
This year the Edinboro State College has an en
rollment of 4,892 students on three campuses. By
far the greater number, 4,350 are here at Edinboro
and the remaining 542 are divided between the Shenango Valley Off-Campus Center located at Hickory
Township High School and the Warren Area OffCampus Center at Warren.
You will notice the new construction taking place
on the campus. If you are seated on the permanent
bleachers, to your right is the major dormitory
building project. Two dormitories which will house
four hundred students each will be completed by
September 1968, two additional ones by September
1969, and two more by September 1970. As you came
through the campus toward the stadium, you noticed
the lake which is becoming a reality, the world cul
tures building, and the new student infirmary build
ing, all of which are ahead of construction schedule.
During this school year, construction will begin on a
maintenance building and the new dining hall. The
completion of plans for the new field house - gym
nasium and student union will be finalized during
this school year also. By this time next year, to the
north of the stadium, a new baseball stadium will
appear as a reality. In addition to these projects,
much renovation is occurring in the old buildings on
campus and it is my hope that you will tour the
buildings to observe this renovation.
The faculty of the College now numbers 236 mem
bers. It is a cosmopolitan group recruited mainly
from the eastern part of the United States. The ma
jor part of this faculty, new and old, are professors
of advanced academic degrees earned at outstand
ing American universities. In addition to the teach
ing which they do with a high degree of excellence,
the faculty also evaluates and develops the curric
ulum of the College and it is interesting to observe
the growth in the quantity and quality of faculty re
search type activities.
The incoming student body is of good quality. Its
origins are basically in Northwestern Pennsylvania
but a good sprinkling of students come from other
parts of the Commonwealth, from other states, and
there are representatives on the campus from sev
eral foreign nations.
It is interesting to note the growth of the resources
available for teaching and learning. For example,
the Hamilton Library which had a collection of 60,000
volumes when it was dedicated in 1962 now has
160,000 volumes. Also interesting to note is the ex
panded use of “teaching tools” such as closed cir
cuit television.
You, the Alumni of the College, have always been
generous in your support of the activities of the Col
lege and I know that each of you and your friends
will continue being active supporters of this, your
Alma Mater.
I welcome this opportunity to say “Hello” to each
one of you.

where he earned his Master’s degree.
He and his wife, Joyce, along with his 6 children,

Head Coach William Catcher
WILLIAM CUTCHER
In March of 1966, William Cutcher accepted the
position of head varsity coach at Edinboro State Col
lege.
Cutcher began his new duties as Highlander grid
mentor at Edinboro during spring football practice,
April 22-May 15, 1966.
Prior to his appointment as head grid coach at
Edinboro, Cutcher served as head football mentor at
Central High School, Phoenix, Arizona. When he as
sumed the head coaching berth at Central High in
1964, Cutcher inherited a team which finished the
previous season with an 0-10 football record. During
his first year as head coach at the school, his team
recorded three victories and seven defeats. In 1965
during his second season as grid mentor, Cutcher’s
team reversed their record to seven victories and
only three defeats.
Before serving as Central High’s grid mentor,
Cutcher was varsity line coach at Persell High
School, Cincinnati, Ohio. Under his direction, Persell
was the Greater Cincinnati High School Champions
for 1952, 1953, 1955, 1959, and 1960. In addition, he
served nine years as head varsity basketball coach
at Persell and head varsity track coach for seven
years, 1952-1959.
Cutcher’s high school football career record con
tains 102 victories, 30 defeats and 6 ties.
Cutcher competed in collegiate gridiron competi
tion at the University of Dayton for four years on
the varsity squad. In 1952 he participated in the
“Salad Bowl” in Phoenix, Arizona, against the Uni
versity of Houston, Texas. Cutcher graduated from
the University of Dayton with a B.S. degree in
physical education. He earned his M.Ed. degree
from Xavier University, Cincinnati, in 1958.
Hard hit by the loss of many key personnel through
academic ineligibilities and injuries. Coach Cutcher’s
first grid season at Edinboro State College was
marked with a disappointed 1-6-1 record.

1967 Hishlander Varsity Football Squad
1967 Outlook
sible candidates. Heading the pack is “Chico” Pollick, a 5’11”, 175-pound sophomore from Springdale,
who appears to have the edge in the passing depart
ment. Tom Mackey, a sophomore from Dormont, in
jured his knee while piloting the frosh squad last sea
son, but it is reported that he will return and be
ready to go.
Defensively, the Highlanders are spearheaded by
6’3”, 280-pound senior tackle, Steve Nishnik, and Jim
Jaruszewicz, 5’11”, 200-pound linebacker. Ed Hol
lins, 6’2”, 195 pounds, and Lee Maitland, 6’0”, 195
pounds, will team up at the defensive end positions.
Battle-tested senior Bob Koleno will be the key
man in the deep secondary.
The addition of several promising junior college
prospects could prove to be a key factor in solving
some of the offensive problems.
Among these are 5’11”, 210-pound halfback-quarter
back, A1 Barbati; 6’0”, 290-pound guard, Paul Belosh; and 5’11”, 205-pound halfback, Ben Haberman.
Another plus factor is Coach Cutcher’s plans for a
two-platoon system, an offensive and defensive unit.
This will take the pressure off those players who
were forced to go both ways last season because of
the squads numerous injuries and lack of adequate
personnel.
Head football coach Bill Cutcher is optimistic about his second season at the helm of the Highland
ers because he has a good nucleus of young, eager,
and aggressive ballplayers. The success of Edinboro’s 1967 gridiron campaign relies heavily on how
quickly prospects from last year’s fine freshman
crop can fill gaps in key positions on the varsity
club. On the basis of spring practice, the ’67 edition
of Highlander hopefuls should have more speed,
quickness, and over-all depth. The squad is young
as far as class rank is concerned but is studded with
“seasoned” ballplayers and veteran performers.
The offensive unit will be bolstered by the return
of John Mikovich, 5’9”, 195-pound hard-running junior
halfback who missed action last season. Sophomores
John Guerrasio, 5’11”, 205 pounds, and “Smokey”
Santillo, 5’10”, 185 pounds, are expected to battle for
the other halfback slot. Both have excellent speed.
Bob Grief, 5’11”, 205-pound senior should ward off
all competition at the fullback spot.
Leading the list of offensive linemen are seniors
Dave Brandel, 6’2”, 230 pounds; Dan Bissontz, 6’1”,
216 pounds; and junior John Ballard, 6’3”, 227 pounds.
Biggest worry is Mike Malone’s replacement at
the quarterback slot. Coach Cutcher claims that the
position is “up for grabs” among three or four pos

Slippery Rock Coaching Staff
ROBERT DiSPIRITO
LARRY PASQUALE
Head Football Coach
Defensive Backfield Coach
In his first year as Slippery Rock’s head coach,
DiSpirito is a native of Rhode Island. An outstanding
guard for Rhode Island University, he made the All
Yankee Conference first team in both his junior and
senior year, and was chosen Little-All-American his
senior year.
DiSpirito has been coaching since 1953, and moved
into college coaching in 1958. In 1960 he became head
coach at the University of Bridgeport, and in five
years as head coach had four winning seasons. After
his stay at Bridgeport, DiSpirito was first assistant
at Bucknell for two years. Besides his high school
and college coaching experience, the new Rocket
coach served as head coach for his regimental team
at Ft. Dix, N.J., from 1954 to 1956.
Pasquale played under DiSpirito at Bridgeport and
impressed the new Rocket coach as being a “heady”
or thinking ballplayer. Pasquale has rejoined Di
Spirito and serves as defensive backfield coach and
defensive co-ordinator.
STAN KONDRACKI
Line Coach
Stan was an outstanding football and baseball
player at Denison University. He captained both the
football and baseball teams at Denison in 1964 and
was chosen most valuable player in both sports.
Kondracki came to Slippery Rock in 1965 as a
graduate assistant and head freshman coach. In
1966 he moved up to the varsity as offensive line
coach where he will also coach this year.
ROD OBERLIN
Backfield Coach
Oberlin, offensive backfield coach and offensive co
ordinator, is another new face on the Rocket coach
ing staff. Rod lettered in football, basketball and
baseball at Hillsdale College, Michigan. He quarterbacked Hillsdale’s 1949 undefeated football team.
After graduation from Hillsdale, Oberlin played
several years of professional baseball in the Cleve
land Indian organization. He began coaching in 1953
and moved to Bucknell in 1956, where he served as
head baseball and assistant football coach for eleven
years. Oberlin is considered to be a top specialist
at developing football talent. He will instruct on the
Health and Physical Education staff.
DOUGLAS CLINGER
Freshman Coach
A native of Oil City, Clinger was an outstanding
football player for the Oilers. Doug is a Slippery
Rock alumnus and served as team trainer in foot
ball and track. Before coming back to Slippery Rock
last year as freshman coach, Doug coached at Grove
City High and Northwestern High. He also put in a
stint as an assistant coach at Arizona State Univer
sity.

1967 must be considered a rebuilding year for the
Rockets. Coach DiSpirito inherited a young, light, in
experienced team. At least eight, and possibly more,
sophomores will start either on offense or defense.
Only six lettermen dot the squad, and most of them
are playing new positions.

Spring practice illuminated one fact though, the
1967 Rockets ara full of fire and spirit. Whether or
not spirit can overcome inexperience remains to be
seen, but one thing is sure, the Rockets will play
tough, hard-nosed football. There is only one kind of
boy on this year’s Rocket squad, the kind who likes
to hit.
