SCOTS' SCOPE - 1970
Under the tutorship of first-year coach Bill McDonald, Edinboro State's
gridders posted their best season in the past eight years with a 4-4-1 slate.
Over twenty individual and team records fell by the wayside as the Clan
finished 1969 with third place in the Pennsylvania Conference.
"Our chances of having a successful season this year hinge upon just
how quickly our ball players can come of age," claims McDonald. "We really
have a lot of catching up to do before we can compete consistently in
our conference."
Edinboro's 212-point output last year ranked as the second highest total
in its forty-year football history. The continued success of the offensive unit
could highly depend on the running of junior tailback Al Raines, (5-9,180), an
All-American Honorable Mention winner. He broke all the school's rushing
records while rampaging for 1,208 yards and fourteen touchdowns as a
sophomore.
A trio of quarterbacks will vie for the starting assignment in the backfield,
but junior, Joe Sanford, (5-9,180) seems to have the inside track on the job.
Back with ample experience are seniors Joe Kodba, (5-11, 185) and Barry
Masterson, (5-11, 170).
The only questionable position in the Scots backfield appears to be at the
fullback slot where several candidates are fighting for the job.
The squad appears much stronger in the receiver corps where stalwarts
Jim Romaniszyn (6-1,195), John Gecina (6-2,195), Gary Roth (5-11,170),
Tom Boylan (5-11, 180) and Mike Romeo (5-10,165 will operate.
Both the offensive and defensive lines return experienced veterans, but
lack size. Guard Paul Burkell, a regular throughout the '69 schedule, should
lead the offensive line charge while Bob King (6-0, 205) and Bill Bender
(6-2, 220) anchor the defensive unit.
Supporting the defensive front wall are linebackers Gary Sisko (6-0, 200)
Jeff Idzik (6-0, 204) and Steve Hamm (6-1, 210).
Senior veterans Dennis Creehan (5-9, 190), a deep safety, and Ebby
Hollins (6-2, 210) at middle guard, are back for final stands. The pair received
post-season grid honors for their efforts throughout the 1969 campaign.
Other familiar faces on the defensive eleven are halfbacks Joe Sass (5-10,
160) and Larry Pollick (5-10,170) who played an outstanding spring game.
The Clan's lineup for the 1970 season will be studded with some veteran
performers with 25 lettermen returning, but still lacks the depth and overall
size to be a big winner.
Returnees on the offensive unit who saw action last fall include tight
end Jim Tabaczynski (6-0, 195), tackle Ken Zbinovec (6-1, 230), split end
Gary Roth (5-11, 170), halfback Jack McCurry (5-10, 175), fullback Bob
Mengerink (5-9, 187) and tackle Steve Mennen (6-1, 240). Ed Meeks (6-0,
175), who had an outstanding spring, will be available for running action.
Other returners on the defensive unit are end Tom Herman (6-1, 200),
tackle Torry Buck (6-0, 205), guard Dave Tamasy (5-10, 188), linebacker
Santo Policicchio (6-1, 190) and tackle John Sullivan (6-0, 220).
On tap for the offense once again is kicker Tom Rockwell who gives the
Clan a potential 3 points inside opponents' territory.
Among the promising sophomores who are expected to make bids for
varsity assignments are Dave Gates a 6-0, 170-pound defensive back; John
Petchel, a 6-1, 185-pound flanker; Jim Romaniszyn, a 6-1, 195-pound
flanker and Mike Mormino, a 6-0, 195-pound defensive end.

INTRODUCING THE 1970 STAFF . . .
HEAD COACH
In his first year at the helm of
Edinboro State's football program, Bill
McDonald's Fighting Scots came away
with their best showing on the gridiron
since 1961 when they posted an identical
4-4-1 season slate. In his attempt to meet
the challenge of building a football
Hl'^
machine for Edinboro that can produce
wins, over 20 individual and team records
fell by the wayside last year as the Clan
climbed to a third place finish in the
Western Division of the Pennsylvania
Conference.
Bill McDonald previously served as
assistant football coach at Indiana Uni­
versity of Pennsylvania for three years
and head coach at Hopewell High School
Bill McDonald
from 1958-1965.
McDonald directed Indiana University's offense as the Big Indians
registered 24 regular season victories against only three defeats. In his final
season at Indiana the grid squad finished unbeaten in nine outings
and proved to be the greatest offensive team in the school's history by
tallying 360 points, an average of 40 points a game.
The unblemished 9-0 mark landed Indiana University the opportunity to
play in the Boardwalk Bowl in Atlantic City, New Jersey against the Uni­
versity of Delaware.
The Wilmerding, Pa. native guided Hopewell High School to a 46-25-1
slate during his seven years as Hopewell's head football coach. His 1960

streak while his 1963 team captured the Midwest Class A Championship.
The Fighting Scots' new grid pilot has served as an assistant coach at
Braddock and Latrobe High Schools. He acted as aid to Chuck Klausing,
Indiana's head football coach, through two undefeated seasons at Braddock
High from 1956-1958.
McDonald holds both a B.S. degree in education and an M.Ed. from the
University of Cincinnati where he played fullback under Sid Gillman now
head coach of the San Diego Chargers and his assistant coach, Paul Dietzel.
This team was the original "Chinese Bandits," a defensive unit which later
became famous at Louisiana State University.
After graduation from Cincinnati in 1952, the Scots mentor continued
his education in post graduate work at Penn State, Pitt and Indiana (Pa.)
Universities.
In announcing McDonald's appointment Edinboro President Chester T.
McNerney commented, "Mr. McDonald's coaching career has constantly been
a story of success. In addition to this aspect of his life, we were impressed
with him as a man who is prepared and capable to give both wise counseling
and leadership to young men in all phases of their development."
The new coach along with his wife, Joanne, and their three children,
Amy Sue, Johanna and David now reside in Edinboro.

SCOTS COMPLETE WIIMNINGEST SPORTS YEAR

A GLANCE AT CONFERENCE CHOICES

Edinboro State's 1969-70 sports season proved to be the winningest year
in the Fighting Scots' athletic history as athletes in nine varsity sports com­
bined their efforts to produce an overall slate of 63 wins, 49 losses and one
tie. The season win-loss record established an all-time high percentage of
56.2 while 53 new marks were placed in the Scots' record books.
Tennis paced the leaders with an 11 -1 season slate and registered a 91.7
percentage. The Scot netmen finished 11th nationally in the NAIA meet in
Kansas City, Mo. after capturing the NAIA District 18 title and placed third
in the Pennsylvania Conference meet. The Hank Mariotti-coached crew also
won the ESC quadrangular Tournament and placed second in the ESC
Invitational Tournament.
Seven of the Scots' varsity sports completed their schedules with .500
or better season records. Coach Fred Caro's grapplers were 9-4 (69.2),
Coach Doug Watts' cross country team, in its first year, finished 6-3 (66.7)
while his tracksters were 3-2 (60.0) and Coach Jim McDonald's cagers
racked up a 13-9 (59.1) ledger marking eight straight years in which the
Clan has never experienced a losing season on the hardwoods.
Baseball under the guidance of new head coach, Guy Conti, had its
winningest season as the diamondmen posted an 11-8 (57.9) ledger. Bill
McDonald's gridders broke even for the campaign as football had it best
year since 1961 with a 4-4-1 (50.0) mark.
Rounding out the slate were Jim McDonald's golfers who were 5-10
and George Shimpeno s first year soccer men with a 1 -8 record against
some stern competition.
Bowling, trapshooting and weight lifting which are not yet listed as
varsity sports also came away with some outstanding finishes. The Fighting
Scot trapshooting team won the Eastern Regional Shooting Championship
against such teams as Yale and Harvard, and then placed fourth in the nation
at Iowa City, Iowa. The weight lifters were nudged by Michigan State for
the U. S. title in the Collegiate Weight and Power Lifting Championships
while the bowling team captured the NAIA District 18 championship.
The Scot athletic teams also had respectable finishes in Pennsylvania
Conference action and over 25 athletes received special recognition by
associations other than the College.

Clarion—When the smoke clears the Golden Eagles, behind a crop of topnotch vets, should repeat as West champs. All American honorable mention,
Rick Terza will anchor the tight end slot as a favorite target of senior signalcaller Bob Erdeljac (17 TD's 190), tackle Tom Komenda (6-0, 215) and center
Roland Sparrow (6-2, 220) lead the offensive charge while the defensive
wall is spearheaded by tackles Joe Dudzinsky (5-11, 190) and John Doto
6-1,205).
Slippery Rock—The Rockets blasted to second in '69 and 25 lettermen
returning. The graduation of offensive leaders, halfback Jay Wagner and
quarterback John Ross, are big losses. Holdovers Wilfred Minor and Tim Bell
are vying to run the team, while backs Frank Barnes and John Ryce are
tested performers. All-Conference linebacker. Bob Basile (5-11, 200), will
shore up the defense.
Edinboro—New coach Bill McDonald led the Fighting Scots to thier best
record since 1961. Continued success could depend highly on the running of
Al Raines (1208 yards, 14 TD's). Adding punch is soph flanker Jim Romaniszyn (6-1, 190) and guard Paul Burkell. Familiar faces in the defensive
unit include safety Dennis Creehan (5-9, 190), middle guard Ebby Hollins
(6-2, 205), linebacker Gary Sisko and back Joe Sass.
California—Traditionally known for defensive stalwarts, California's mighty
Vulcans return another strong eleven. The senior duo of Jerry Valencik
(6-2, 230) and Bob Callaway (6-2, 240) are a pair of defensive tackles
deluxe. They have fine secondary help from All-Conference safety, Terrance
Hammons. The Fire Gods desperately need a quarterback and either Marty
Podbesek or Gary DeHainet could land the job. A solid offense could easily
move the Vulcans up.
Lock Haven—The Bald Eagles went through a change last year under new
coach Bob Weller and should be vastly improved. Returning in key positions
are field general Mike Packer who completed 60 percent of his passes as a
soph and one of the district's leading pass receivers, Sam Vaughn. Halfbacks
Dave Witcoski and Steve Glass are tagged as top ground-gaining threats.
Shippensburg—Senior Al Bowman, leading pass receiver in the conference
for the last two years, will combine his talents with returning quarterbacks
Jim Buffington and Ron Finley. The squad lost only five seniors and has some
33 lettermen back. Shifty Fred Keyes should roll up the yardage while tackles
Roger Berkheimer (6-1, 220), Nick Bosso (5-10, 215) and linebacker Bruce
Baustien plug up the defense.

EDINBORO FOOTBALL AFFILIATIONS
National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics
Edinboro State's national affiliation is the
National Association of Intercollegiate athletics
which has its headquarters in Kansas City,
Missouri. The NAIA was organized in 1940 for
the purpose of promoting interest in athletics
among colleges of moderate enrollment. The
NAIA encourages a broad program of athletic
pursuits in its member schools and maintains
that athletics must be an integral part of the
overall educational process. A total of 17
national championships are sponsored by the
NAIA
NAIA. Edinboro, which belongs to District 18
competes in NAIA competition in all 9 of its varsity sports and sends repre­
sentatives to district as well as national championships.
This year the NAIA will crown two national football champions. The
285 football-playing schools have been divided into two divisions. The
Fighting Scot gridders will be competing in Division II along with 148 other
member schools.

Eastern College Athletic Conference
This season will mark the first year of
Edinboro State's membership in the ECAC.
The ECAC differs from the majority of the
other major college conference in which every
team within the group meets all or most of
the others in the various sports. However, the
majority of its 198 members enter into com­
petition with one another either through dual
contests, or in the championships and tourna­
ments of the various leagues and associations.
It is the largest athletic conference in the nation. The E.C.A.C. supervises
annual tournaments and championships competitions either on a Conference
basis or for the affiliated organizations and holds outstanding events such
as the E.C.A.C. Holiday Basketball Festival and E.C.A.C. Holiday Hockey
Festival at Madison Square Garden, New York City and E.C.A.C. Quaker City
Basketball Tournament at the Philadelphia Spectrum.
Edinboro State, listed as a Division III competitor among the football
playing colleges, is eligible for the Lambert Bowl as a member of this group.

Pennsylvania Conference
The Pennsylvania State Colleges Athletic Conference, organized in 1951,
recently changed its name to the Pennsylvania Conference. Its membership
originally consisted of the 14 state colleges: Bloomsburg, California, Cheyney,
Clarion, East Stroudsburg, Edinboro, Indiana, Kutztown, Lock Haven,
Mansfield, Millersville, Shippensburg, Slippery Rock, and West Chester. In
1966 Indiana no longer was eligible for conference laurels as it acquired
university status. The conference is divided into a Western Division and an
Eastern Division. The conference champions of both leagues face each other
at the end of the season to determine the PC championship. All 13 state
colleges that compete in the PC belong to the E.C.A.C., while many are also
NCAA and NAIA members. The Pennsylvania Conference championship
football game will be played at the site of the Western Division winner
this year.

WOLVES' OUTLOOK
The Wolves edged Edinboro State 13-12 three years ago in the first
gridiron meeting between the two colleges and the Scots will be looking
to even the series in this contest. The Wolfpack has been having its problems
in the grid sport, but Coach Fred Reed's program should start to bear some
fruit this fall. Adding some help is a conference ruling which permits Cheyney
to use freshmen ballplayers because of the school's smaller enrollment in
comparison to the other state colleges. The Wolves success this season will
depend highly upon how much maturity has been gained by underclassmen.
The squad will still be relatively young as Coach Reed rolls into his second year
of developing Cheyney State football. An experienced defense should lower
the scores as the complete secondary returns in tact. Marv Frazier, a 6-1,
185-pound all conference winner along with Horace Gray are the key
returnees in defensive halfback slots. Marshall Murphy and outstanding
defensive end will anchor the line while Alonzo Covert (6-3, 245) provides
the Wolves with a linebacker deluxe. Offensively sophomores and newcomers
from spring must produce early if Cheyney is to win. Bob Gimm should prove
to be a top notch receiver behind the blocking of co-captains John Glass
and Garnett Purnell. Bill Prillerman, Marv Frazier and Harold Scott should
provide ground strength to a revamped backfield that runs from the power I
formation. Any success offensively rests in the speed of a developing line,
where the Wolves are the weakest. Look for the Pack to work defensively
out of an Oklahoma 5-2.

ROCKETS' OUTLOOK
The Rockets of head coach Bob DiSpirito blasted their way to a 6-3
record last fall, the first winning grid season at the Rock since 1965. SRSC
finished second in the rugged Western Division of the Pennsylvania Conference
and highlighted the season with a thrilling 23-21 upset of nationally-ranked
Indiana (Pa.) U. A total of 12 lettermen are lost from that '69 club, and at
least 10 were key performers as the Big Green returned to the winning football
tradition. Especially hard to replace will be quarterback John Ross, who
amassed over 1400 yards in total offense, and Jay Wagner, who gained over
1700 yards rnshing in two seasons. Some 25 lettermen will return
bolstered by a fine crop of sophomores who should put the Rockets in the
conference race once again this year. On offense, there are question marks,
however. The Rockets appear to have an abundance of talented runners, but
the signal-calling position, which is so important in the SRSC plan of attack
is undecided. Candidates for the slot include senior Wilfred Minor, senior
Tom Bell along with sophomores Keith Reynolds and Tim Numes. Leading
the ground gaining game are running backs Frank Barnes and John Ryce.
Up in front, at least three sophomores will be counted upon to assume
starting status to replace the graduated seniors. Defensively, the Rock should
be much improved over the 1969 team which gave up three touchdowns or
more in eight of the nine games. With last year's improved secondary, SRSC
will concentrate more on stopping the opposition's running game which
hurt the Big Green cause a year ago.

Golden Eagles

BIG INDIANS' OUTLOOK
Indiaria University of Pennsylvania's first year head coach Bill Neal, the
former assistant head coach at Pitt, inherited 16 lettermen from the group of
33 who earned awards in 1969. They will face the toughest schedule in lUP
history. "Finding a quarterback is definitely the key to our 1970 season,"
Neal said before spring practice. Chuck Pinchotti, 175, a transfer from Penn
State, emerged from spring drills as the leading contender for that important
spot. He hit 13 of 19 passes in the spring game while tossing two TD passes
and runriing for another. Randy Urban, 170, a sophomore, will likely serve as
Pinchotti's understudy. Aside from the quarterback slot, the offensive backfield will be in the hands of experienced performers. The leading ground
gainer of 1969, Larry Monsilovich, 175, returns with his fancy 5.97 rushing
average. Letterman John Butera, 185, will open at fullback with John
Brochetti, 170, and John Ziegler, 180, as the wide receivers. Neil Brady, 205,
looks good at tight end. From tackle to tackle along the line the starters
should be Neil Gordon, 208; John Wilcox, 205; Jim Vogt, 190; Bob Cosgrove,
185; and Dave Connolly, 230. Defensively, the picture is less settled. Starters
Bob Basehore, 180, and Chuck Hasse, 170, return in the secondary as do
linebacker Dave Wever, 185, and middle guard Tom Rogish, 190. Among
Indiana's top sophomore prospects are defensive tackle Gene Raymond, 235;
linebacker Phil Imbrogno, 190; tight end Tim Drevna, 195; and full back
John Grim, 200.

GOLDEN EAGLES' OUTLOOK
Al Jacks will start his eighth year as head grid coach at Clarion State
College with 22 returning lettermen and a nearly intact backfield that should
give him a team of fine balance and depth. In a season reduced to eight
games this year, the Golden Eagle mentor will feel the loss of only 13 lettermen,the same number as in 1969. Brightest spot in the picture for the Jacksmen
is their largely unchanged backfield with signal-caller Bob Erdeljac out to put
the icing on a great college career as a senior and fleet-footed junior Fred
Rost. Erdeljac ranked nationally last year with his 17 TD passes and 1,854
passing yards. Back to rack up their share of yardage and points for the Eagles
are three top seniors; fullback Joe Abal, wingback Bob Oberdorf and center
Roland Sparrow (6-2, 220). Speedy first string junior defensive back Ron
Corcetti is expected to see service at split end this season. Junior tackle
Jack Breman (6-2,210) will occupy one of the guard spots. Senior Tom
Komenda, (6-0, 215) 1969 All-State tackle, and junior George Wyzkowski,
who sat out last season with an injury should perform well in the tackle slots.
Rick Terza, last year's All-State tight end and possibly the best of that breed
ever to receive at Clarion, seems sure to turn in a commanding performance
in his senior year. The defensive picture is also on the bright side with
seasoned veterans at key positions. The defending western champions
appear to have the talent to make them rule the roost once again and finish
with another outstanding season on the gridiron.

BLUE DEVILS' OUTLOOK
Central Connecticut under the guidance of Coach Bill Loika has won 32
of its last 42 games. The Blue Devils are deep in returning lettermen, but a
major problem is finding replacements for such excellent graduated personnel
as defensive end Gerry Agostinucci, middle guard "Butch" Brown, center
Charlie Tiblom and hard-running back Harry Fargo. Co-captains Ken Blasser,
a tremendous linebacker, and Pete Courcey, a powerful fullback lead veterans
who include such offensive linemen as end Alan Miller, tackle Mike Spolowitz,
guard Nick Economopoulos, quarterback Dale Finch, defensive tackle John
Skladany and defensive back Ken McPhee. Courcey romped for 541 yards
last year in 85 carries to average 6.4 yards a carry. He also finished second in
the scoring race with 24 points. Quarterback Dale Finch who connected for
306 yards last season and averaged 4.2 yards every time he carried the
pigskin returns as an experienced field general. Loika feels Ken Blasser is a
post-season All-Star bowl prospect. The outlook for a sixth straight winning
season is promising and could brighten considerably if sophs quickly fill the
gaping holes. A crop of 22 lettermen should provide the nucleus that the
defensive-minded Loika needs for another winner. In what proved to be a
disappointing season for the Blue Devils last year (5-4) the defensive unit
still managed to surrender only 12 points a game. Two years ago Loika's
defensive eleven allowed but 4.4 points a contest for the best NCAA College
Division figure in the nation.

VULCANS' OUTLOOK
The Fire Gods will sport a "new" look for the 1970 season as the
Vulcans, got a new head coach, a new stadium and a new foe for the 1970
schedule John Katusa has taken over the reigns of the Vulcans* football
machine and will make his head caoching debut in California's brand new
Adamson Field which seats 5,000 spectators.The only "new" thing for 1970
that coach Katusa can t really get overly excited about is a new opponent in
Wittenburg University. The Tigers rolled to a 10-0 slate last season and have
been tagged as the winningest team in the nation over the past decade
(78"9-1). California has 21 lettermen returning from last season's squad
which endured a disappointing 1 -6-1 record. In spite of their poor conference
showing the '69 California's still ranked second among the 13 PC colleges in
team defense. Traditionally known for defensive stalwarts the Vulcans return
another strong eleven. The senior duo of Jerry Valencik (6-2, 230) and Bob
Callaway (6-2, 240) are a pair of defensive tackles deluxe who should give
running backs nightmares. They have fine secondary help from All-Conference
safety, Terrance Hammons. The Fire Gods desperately need a quarterback
and either Marty Podbesek or Gary DeHainet could land the job. Should the
Fire Gods be able to generate some offense their 1970 showing should be
vastly improved.

sox HARRISON STADIUM
On October 2, 1965 Edinboro State College dedicated the Fighting
Scots' football stadium in honor of R. B. "Sox" Harrison who served as head
football and basketball coach at the College for 35 years. His 1931-32 cage
record of 11 wins and 1 loss still stands as one of the best marks ever posted
by an Edinboro basketball team.
Sox Harrison Stadium is located in the athletic complex in the northeast
part of the Edinboro campus off route 6N and Perry Lane.
Complete facilities are located beneath the grandstand area, which seats
3,000 people. Locker space for both the home and visiting teams, the coaching
staff offices and locker room, the officials' dressing room, the training room,
showers, the weight room and a laundry room are utilized within this space.
Also included are restrooms, janitors' facilities, equipment rooms and a large
concession stand.
A glass enclosed press box is provided for local and out-of-town
reporters. The press area is equipped with microphone control system, a
telephone and radio broadcasting areas. Above the press box is a location for
film coverage of the game.
In addition to the football field, the stadium also contains complete
track facilities. A quarter-mile oval, a 220 straight-away and asphalt ap­
proaches for the field events highlight the home of the cinder sport.
Bleacher seats on the visitor side of the stadium bring the total seating
capacity to 5,000.

Tailback Al Raines chalked up nine individual records in the offensive
backfield during the '69 campaign. He broke the game rushing average for one
season with an average of 134.2 yards for nine contests. Hisscoring records
smashed all previous as he recorded 14 TD's for 84 points. Raines opened his
career for Edinboro against Brockport and tied the existing record for most
touchdowns in one game (three) which has stood unchallenged since 1958.
Tom Rockwell, better known as "Toe" to his teammates, etched his name
in the history book through his kicking efforts. Rockwell booted five field
goals in the season to top the old mark of two. The Conneaut High graduate
kicked off 43 times for the Scots for 2,150 yards, an average of 50 yards every
time he greeted the ball. He also finished second in the scoring department
with 32 points.

THE COLLEGE S HISTORY
The beginnings of the college were laid in 1857, over one hundred years
ago, when a band of Scotch-Irish farmers grouped together and founded a
private normal school at Edinboro by popular subscription to train teachers.
In 1861 it was chartered by the Commonwealth as Pennsylvania's second
Normal School and developed and grew through service to the Commonwealth.
A great forward stride was taken in 1914, when the Commonwealth pur­
chased Edinboro Normal School. In 1926, alerted to the need for better edu­
cated teachers for its schools, Pennsylvania made Edinboro a Teachers College
offering a four-year curriculum leading to degrees of Bachelor of Science in
Secondary, Elementary, and Art Education, and Library Science.
In 1960 the name of the college was changed to Edinboro State College.
Beginning in September of 1957, the college was empowered to grant de­
grees of Master of Education in Elementary Education. In September 1961,
graduate study in secondary education was added to the graduate program.
In i 962 the liberal arts degree program was begun. Students may prepare
for various vocations as an arts and science major in Humanities, Social
Sciences or Natural Sciences and may receive a Bachelor of Arts degree.
The control of the College is vested in the Board of Trustees, composed
of nine members appointed by the Governor of Pennsylvania. The Board of
Trustees in turn elects the President of the College who is responsible for its
administration. The State Superintendent of Public Instruction is an ex-officio
member of the Board of Trustees.
The College is accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of
Teacher Education, the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary
Schools, and the American Medical Association. In addition, its curriculums
are registered by the New York State Department of Education.
Graduates of Edinboro have distinguished themselves in all professional
fields: education, law, medicine, and religion as well as business and politics.
The College stresses friendly relations among students and faculty and
informal student counseling and guidance. The faculty is keenly aware of
professional interests and self growth. High qualitative and quantitative
standards distinguish the graduates of this college. The preparation of better
educated citizens has been an Edinboro tradition for over a century.

president
Dr. Chester T. McNerney became president of
Edinboro State College in September, 1966. His
formal inauguration, honoring him as Edinboro's
thirteenth president, followed on April 22, 1967.
Dr. McNerney came to Edinboro from the
University of Akron, where he was the Dean of the
College of Education and was highly instrumental
in the development of numerous educational in­
novations. He was cited as the motivating force
behind the University of Akron Classrooms
Around the World, and recognized for his scholarly
studies of comparative education abroad.
Dr. McNerney's primary areas of interest deal
with the improvement of the curriculm, the pro­
gram for educational supervision and administraDr. Chester T. McNerney
tion, and the improvement of inter-personal re­
lationships among the various members of working groups. His concern in
this area has led to his writing of several books, lecturing and conducting
various workshops.
Under Dr. McNerney's guidance, the College has witnessed the growth of
administrative operations, broader forms of student government, and the
development of the future growth of Edinboro State College.
He is a man dedicated to the academic life, a tireless advocate of personal
involvement in the religious and civic affairs of one's community, and an
educator who visibly believes in and practices total individual professional
commitment.

EDINBORO STATE COLLEGE'S ATHLETIC PROGRAM
Intercollegiate athletics play an important role in the total educational pro­
gram of Edinboro State College. The program is so conducted as to assure
wholesome use of leisure time, a healthy focal point for the experience and the
expression of group spirit, and a laboratory experience for prospective coaches.
Edinboro s athletic program includes intercollegiate competition in foot­
ball, basketball, wrestling, golf, track, tennis, baseball, soccer and cross
country. The finest of facilities are readily being made available to accom­
modate these sports.
Sox Harrison Stadium, one of the most recent additions to the athletic
complex which entails the northeast corner of the campus, has a seating
capacity of 5,000 and provides complete track facilities along with the football
playing area. A baseball diamond of major league specifications has also been
completed just west of the stadium.
Scheduled for completion this fall is the Scots' new fieldhouse. The
structure includes an inter-collegiate basketball court, three intramural
basketball courts, an AAU-sized swimming pool, wrestling and handball
rooms, a steam room, a corrective gym, medical suite, and rifle range. Seating
capacity of the sports arena will be approximately 4,600 with provisions for
later expansion to 7,000 provided.
The continuing growth of Edinboro's athletic program is rapidly estab­
lishing the College as a respected collegiate competitor.
