A GLANCE AT THE ROSTER
u
'S the biggest question mark on the Scots' 1971 defensive unit
while the offensive squad appears solid once again. The Clansmen have the talent to fill in the
defense up front, but only testing under game conditions will prove who the top performers are.
A total of 16 seriiors, the most in ESC’s grid history, dot the '71 roster along with 24 juniors and
a host of promising sophomores. All the starters except the split and tight ends return to the of­
fensive unit which smashed all previous rushing records with a net total of 2,728 yards on the ground.
Returning in tact is a backfield that averaged 4.7 yards a try every time the Scots carried the ball
Seven returnees give experience to a defense which complimented the Clan's offensive prowess.’
Last years stingy defensive stalwarts allowed only 8.9 points a game throughout the '70 schedule
and gave up only 64 yards a game on the ground.

Edinboro State's gridders finished with their best season in history last
year after winning the Lambert Bowl, completing their regular schedule
unbeaten, capturing the Pennsylvania Conference championship and
earning a berth in the NAIA national playoffs.
Coach Bill McDonald's comments on the ensuing 1971 grid campaign
reflect the caution of a rags to riches story. "We're anxiously waiting to see
what happens this season," claims McDonald. "Either the bubble will break or
we'll find that our program has really come of age. Everyone knows that a
dynasty isn't built in a year and we have some major obstacles to overcome
before we can think of having another winner. We won last year because we
had a fine defensive unit. Right now the biggest problem facing us is the
rebuilding of that defense. Major holes have to be filled there with only five
of the eleven starters returning. Mental attitude will also play an important
part in our season. We surprised our opponents last year. This time it'll be
tougher to win. They will be pointing toward us and we'll have to be up
for every game."
McDonald also views the conference foes as being tougher for the 1971
schedule. "The West should be more evenly matched than it was last year.
There'll be no easy game from the top to the bottom of the schedule. I feel
that we have just as good a chance to win it as anyone else but, believe me,
five major wars will have to be fought to get there."
Among the 25 lettermen returning for the reigning third-year mentor is
an offensive machine that features quarterback Joe Sanford, fullback Bob
Mengerink, tailback Al Raines and versatile flanker Jim Romaniszyn. This
group exploded for a record 2,728 yards rushing last year and averaged 4.7
yards a carry. The quartet also accounted for the bulk of the Clan's scoring
punch as Raines and Romaniszyn tied for top honors on the club with 9 TD's
apiece while Sanford and Mengerink each crossed the white line five times.
Raines, Sanford and Mengerink capped their junior year with First Team
All-Conference awards. Raines, who was also named All-America Honorable
Mention, continued to add to his running and scoring records as Edinboro's
greatest offensive back. A bruised heart which sidelined the shifty tailback
for five games last year slowed down his record rushing pace but he should
be in top form to help the Scots defend their crown.
A veteran offensive line which includes All-Conference guard, Paul
Burkell along with tackles Ken Zbinovec and John Chakot, should pave the
way for another impressive ground attack.
Other returnees who saw action on the offense last season are tight
end John Gecina, quarterback Scott McKissock and tackle Steve Mennen.
"Handyman" Jack McCurry is also ready to step in wherever needed. A
proven performer in either the offensive or defensive backfield, McCurry will
most likely team up with the returning combination of Joe Sass and Dave
Gates in the secondary to pick off enemy aerials.
Posing the biggest question mark to the Scots' 1971 aspirations is their
defensive line. Graduation took defensive tackle Ebby Hollins, named to
every first team in the state, as well as All-Conference end Steve Hamm.
Senior John Sullivan and junior Bill Bender have the inside track on the
tackle slots, but the terminal posts are still up for grabs. Rick DiOrio, a
regular tackle last year, could be available for duty if a mid-season injury
responds to treatment. The switch of Tom Herman from offensive center to
defensive end might solve one side of the problem.
All-Conference selection Rich lorfido. Bob King and Gary Sisko form a
trio of outstanding linebackers who pose a big threat to running backs. Seniors
Santo Policicchio and Gordie Kissman will also see plenty of action.

MEET THE STAFF . . . ~l
HEAD COACH
Since Bill McDonald's appointment in
the spring of 1969, Edinboro State's football
fortunes have never been better. In just his
second year at the helm the Fighting Scots
posted their greatest finish in 44 years of
Edinboro football when they went 9-0 in
regular season play, captured the Lambert
Bowl, won the Pennsylvania Conference
championship and earned a berth in the NAIA
national playoffs. Under his direction 43 new
individual and team records have been estab­
lished during the past two campaigns.
Upon completion of last year's successful
venture, numerous post-season laurels were
bestowed upon the Scots' mentor. The Football
Writers Association of New York named
McDonald Coach of the Year in the East
while the NAIA Area VIII and District 18
coaches as well as the Pennsylvania Collegiate
Press Association also rewarded him with
Coach of the Year honors.
Prior to his assignment at Edinboro, McDonald served as assistant
football coach at Indiana University of Pennsylvania for three years and
head coach at Hopewell High School from 1958-1965.
While he directed Indiana University's offense, the Big Indians registered
24 regular season victories against only three defeats. In his final season at
Indiana the Tribe finished unbeaten in nine outings and proved to be the
greatest offensive unit in the school's history by tallying 360 points and
averaging 40 points a game.
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
ball club defeated Braddock High 7-6 and broke their WPIAL 58-game
winning streak while his 1963 team captured the Midwest Class A Champion­
ship.
The Fighting Scots' grid pilot served as an assistant coach at Braddock
High School through two undefeated seasons and also as an assistant
at Latrobe High.
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 reside in Edinboro.

LINEBACKER COACH
Jack Hyland joined the Fighting Scots'
football program two years ago and has proven
to be an effective tutor on both the offensive and
defensive units. The former Meadville High
Coach will once again groom the Clan's line­
backers who were so vital during 1970's success­
ful campaign. His charges carried out their
instructions quite expertly as linebackers ranked
2, 3, 4 and 5 on the tackle charts.
A North Braddock native. Jack is a 1954
graduate of Slippery Rock State College where
he was a top notch quarterback. He piloted the
Rocket offense during four varsity campaigns and
earned four consecutive varsity letters. He also
participated in basketball, track, and baseball at
Jack Hyland
Slippery Rock.
Following graduation. Jack held the head football post at Ferndale
High in Johnstown where he groomed Yellow Jacket teams for 10 years.
In 1964 he became the head mentor of Rochester High's Rams and remained
there until he was selected to pilot the grid program at Meadville in 1968.
Jack and his wife, Nancy, along with their five children, are currently
residing in the Meadville area.

DEFENSIVE SECONDARY COACH
In his second year with the Clan's gridiron
staff. Bill Straub will again take the reigns of
the defensive secondary.
Straub had an outstanding career at Western
Kentucky University as a quarterback where he
guided the Hilltoppers to consecutive 9-1 and
8-2 seasons. He originally began his performances
on the collegiate gridiron at the University of
Kentucky under the guidance of Blanton Collier
who coached the NFL Cleveland Browns.
The new Edinboro mentor graduated from
Highlands High School in Fort Thomas, Ky., and
quarterbacked the Bluebirds to the Kentucky
state championship in 1957. He was named First
Team All-State as a senior gridder. While at
Bill Straub
Highlands Straub was coached by Homer Rice,
now athletic director at North Carolina, who was the originator of the triple
option offense. Straub graduated from Western Kentucky in 1963 with a
B.S. degree and earned his M.A. from the University in 1965.
His coaching career got underway at Old Kentucky Home High School
in Bardstown where he served as an assistant for two years. He then moved to
a head coach's post for two seasons at Tate's Creek High School in Lexington.
Prior to joining the Edinboro Staff, Straub coached for one year at Cincinnati
Moeller, a high school powerhouse in Ohio, and finally rounded out his
scholastic stint as assistant head coach at Mt. Healthy High School in
Cincinnati for two campaigns as a defensive co-ordinator.

Tony Zvonar

One of the prime reasons for Edinboro's
defensive stubborness last year was the efforts of

served in the Hopewell High School football
ranks for 5 years and was a member of the
Aliquippa High School staff in 1968 before
joining the Scots 2 years ago. Tony also was

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 11 of its varsity sports and sends repre­
sentatives to district as well as national championships.
Last year the Fighting Scots were ranked third nationally among the
NAIA's Division II football-playing colleges and universities. The Scots were
extended a bid to play for the 1970 national title but the Clansmen were
stopped short of the NAIA crown in the semi-final game.

Eastern College Athletic Conference
Edinboro's 1970 debut in the ECAC
proved to be a most worthwhile membership as
the Scots were ranked first among the Division
III teams and were awarded the Lambert Bowl.
The ECAC also named Ebby Hollins Player of
the Year along with Cornell's Ed Marinaro and
Trinity's Dave Kiarsis. Both Hollins and ESC's
Denny Creehan won First Team E.C.A.C. berths
The ECAC differs from the 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 competition with one another either
through dual contests, or in the championships and tournaments of the
various leagues and associations. It is the largest athletic conference in the
nation. The E.C.A.C. supervises annual tournaments and championship
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 Gardens,
New York City, and E.C.A.C. Quaker City Basketball Tournament at the
Philadelphia Spectrum. The E.C.A.C. divides its member colleges and
universities into three different divisions.

Pennsylvania Conference
The Pennsylvania Conference, organized in 1951, reverts to its original
membership of 14 this year with the Indiana's return after a six-year absence.
The conference, which is divided into Western and Eastern Divisions, consists
of Bloomsburg, California, Cheyney, Clarion, East Stroudsburg, Edinboro,
Indiana, Kutztown, Lock Haven, Mansfield, Millersville, Shippensburg,
Slippery Rock and West Chester. In football and basketball the division
winners play each other to determine the conference champion. All 14
conference schools belong to the E.C.A.C. while many are also NCAA and
NAIA members. The Scots were the surprise of the conference last year when
they won the Western Division and defeated the Eastern victor. West Chester,
for the conference crown.

A poll of the Western Division coaches resulted in the following predicted
order of finish for the Western teams. The coaches also felt that West Chester's
Rams would repeat in the Eastern Division to once again meet Edinboro's
Fighting Scots for the Pennsylvania Conference crown.
Edinboro—After compiling their greatest season (9-1), the Fighting Scots
under Bill McDonald should ride high again. Leading a nucleus of 25 returning
lettermen for the state champs are offensive standouts Joe Sanford-QB,
Bob Mengerink-FB, Al Raines-TB, Jim Romaniszyn-FLK and guard Paul
Burkell. This unit headlined a ground attack that netted 4.7 yards a carry and
a record 2,728 total yards. Defensive aces include Gary Sisko (LB, 6-0, 205),
Bob King (LB, 6-0, 205), Rich lorfido (LB, 5-11,205) and halfback Joe Sass.
Clarion—Coach Al Jacks should find a capable quarterback in junior Joe
Marx. The Golden Eagles have their top ground-gainer and scorer returning in
tailback Fred Rost along with veteran receiver Kevin Karrs, John Doto (T, 6-1,
210) and Mark Cidboy (E, 6-3, 210), a pair of two-year lettermen, lead the
defensive line charge. Other top vets are safety Tony Eupizi and linebacker
Bruce Ehrenberger.
Slippery Rock—Bob DiSpirito's4-5 Rockets should rebound.They couldfind
scoring punch in a backfield of quarterback Keith Reynolds, fullback John
Bogosto and wingback John Suvoy. Stellar performers Ron Hunt (HB) and
Tom Jenkins (DE, 6-2, 215) anchor the defense. Rebuilding both units will
be aided by a crop of talented sophomores.
California—Graduation claimed a strong defensive line and second-year
coach John Katusa is still looking for a quarterback to run his wishbone
offense. Backs Bob Elash, Jim Burns, Lou Phenizy and Tony Sargo (5-6,160)
may help. Strong showings by Randy Urban (FB) or Gary DeHainaut (QB)
could make the Fire Gods winners.
Shippensburg—The Red Raiders pint heir hopes on the arm of junior Jim
Monos and the capable hands of receiver Bob Hickes (6-2, 205). Available
for duty at halfback is Ron Finley (6-0, 192), a leading pass catcher and
rusher. All-Conference middle guard Bob Ockershausen shores up the defense.
Lock Haven—Mike Packer is the magic name for the Bald Eagles' hopes. The
brilliant quarterback finished as the NAIA's top passer in the nation while
completing 149 of 319 tosses for 2,129 yards and 15 scoring aerials. Alex
Nuzzo (FB, 6-1,200) and Wayne Hoffman (HB, 5-10, 165) head a list of 10
returning starters. Look for the Eagles to pull some upsets.

COLD! ... GO SCOTS

KEN ZBINOVEC - RT

One of the prime reasons that
Edinboro State's offensive attack ranks
number one nationally among the
NAIA's football colleges and univer­
sities is the execution of a fine
offensive line. Paving the way for
Edinboro running backs are veterans
Paul Burkell (rightguard), John Chakot
(left tackle) and Ken Zbinovec (right
tackle). Burkell was awarded first team
berths on the Pittsburgh Press's AllDistrict Team and the Pennsylvania
Conference for his efforts last year. He
has twice been elected as a co-captain
for the Scots by his teammates. Senior
stalwart Ken Zbinovec (6-1, 205) has
started at tackle ever since his soph
debut and has developed into a top
notch lineman. John Chakot (6-1,
230) came out of nowhere to become
one of the team's best blockers and
still has another year to continue in a
starters role. This trio has blended with
a crop of talented newcomers to give
the Scots a winning mixture up front.

Yellow Jackets

Red Devils

JACKETS SHOOT FOR ANOTHER WINNER

RED DEVILS DEFENSIVELY ORIENTED

1971 OUTLOOK: Since 1956 only 15 teams have earned victories in the
NAIA's Champion Bowl. The Yellow Jackets have the distinction of capturing
the national title in 1965 when they thumped Whitewater State (Wis.) by a
42-21 count at Tulsa, Oklahoma. The Jackets will be shooting for their
11th consecutive winning season with 23 lettermen to spearhead the 1971
campaign. "Inconsistent quarterbacking" was the biggest problem faced
by head coach, Darrell Lewis, and his staff throughout the '70 schedule.
"Last year we alternated three men at quarterback and it didn't allow them
or the rest of the team to get used to the timing and commands. We just
couldn't execute," commented Lewis. "We had several underclassmen
letter," he added, "and we feel that without too much difficulty most of
them will be able to fill vacancies left open by graduating seniors. However,
the key to our season appears to center around the quarterback situation."
A solid corps of receivers along with young but talented running backs
should make the offense stronger. Top pass catchers include Jerry Rutkowski
(6-2, 170) and Glenn Herrmann (6-1, 175), brother of Waynesburg-grad
Don Herrmann who now stars for the New York Giants. Of the nine defensive
lettermen returning, five were being used as starters at the end of the sea­
son with the others seeing plenty of action. "We feel that our line will be
bigger and stronger," claimed Lewis. Leading the defensive front wall are
end Jim Dumm (6-4, 250, jr.), tackle Jim Dutton (6-0, 243, jr.) and tackle
Ray Newhouse (6-0, 222, sr.). All of Waynesburg's losses last year came
at the hands of NAIA or wire service ranked teams.

1971 OUTLOOK: If there's any one thing that coach Ray Urban enjoys, it's
facing an opponent that depends on a passing attack to move the football.
Last year Eureka ranked number one nationally in pass defense as only 43 of
142 passes were completed against a Red Devil secondary that intercepted 18
enemy aerials. The return of defensive backs Dave Bauman, Tom Gummow
and Larry Anderson to the defensive backfield should give the Devils the
inside track to national honors once again. While the Fighting Scots came
away with their best defensive showing ever by ranking 23rd in the NAIA
total defense stats. Eureka ranked 20th and allowed their opponents only 195
yards a game. Returning tackles Rich Blake (6-2, 220) and Brad Golden
(5-10, 230) along with newcomers Greg Anderson (6-0, 225), Rick White
(6-2, 220), Ted Keefer (6-1, 250) and Thomas Lee Kidd (6-3, 220) should
provide some interesting position battles for the Devils' coaching staff. The
offense is led by a trio of outstanding performers in quarterback Kim Hawkins
(5-11, 190), Mike Chinino (5-10, 200) and center Joe Thomas (6-0, 205).
The biggest problem facing the Maroon and Gold is their abundance of
inexperienced players. The Devils will be a young team with only five seniors
on the squad of 80. Seventeen lettermen provide the nucleus for Coach Ray
Urban who brought Eureka to a winning season in just his second year with
5-3 slate. In spite of a tougher schedule, the Red Devils should prove to be an
interesting team to watch in 1971. The incentive to win is even greater as the
Devils reflect on the 1970 campaign when just four more touchdowns could
have wiped away their three losses and given them an undefeated season.

Rockets

ROCKETS EYE REBOUND

INDIANS SHOULD PRESERVE STREAKS

1971 OUTLOOK: Beginning his fifth season at the helm. Slippery Rock
State College head football coach Bob DiSpirito is optimistic his 1971 club
can recapture the winning attitude his 1969 club had. After a 6-3 season in
'69, the Rockets dropped games by one, two and six points last fall to finish
with a disappointing 4-5 mark. As it was at the start of last season, the
quarterbacking assignment is still up in the air. Junior Keith Reynolds
(5-10, 185), who started better than half of the time last year, has the inside
track against sophomore Tim Nunes, who set out the 1970 season. The
offensive backfield is strong with much talent returning and the offensive
line has more depth and experience than a year ago. John Ryce (5-8, 165)
arid John Suvoy (5-8, 160) give the Rockets a pair of speedy backs along
with junior John Bogosto, a 5-10, 180-pound fullback. This combination
could give the Big Green a strong scoring punch. Defensively, Slippery Rock
must replace its two linebackers and three-fourths of a rugged secondary
if they are to again be a strong unit. The loss of captain Bob Basile at linebacker
makes his spot the toughest to fill. Anchoring the defense are rock-solid
stalwarts Tom Jenkins (6-1, 210, DE), Pat Risha (6-4, 235, DT), Chuck
Northey (6-0, 195, MG) and Chip Jasmin (5-11, 200, DE). Tight end Dan
Toomey (6-1, 195) and defensive back Ron Hunt (5-8, 165) won First
Team All-Conference berths as top performers in the West. Rebuilding both
units from last year's campaign will be aided by a crop of talented sophomores
who excelled on the Rocket freshman team.

1971 OUTLOOK: The tenth straight winning season is the long range goal
for the 1971 Big Indian team. Along with that victory skein, coach Bill Neal
and his 19 returning lettermen will try to keep intact another string that goes
back to 1961: scoring in 84 consecutive games. If any one player is vital to
the preservation of those two streaks and to any additional success for the
Indians in 1971 it is halfback Larry Monsilovich, the 5-9, 185-pound senior
who rushed for 937 years in 1970 enroute to establishing seven lUP rushing
and scoring records and equaling two others. Monsilovich was subsequently
named honorable mention All-American and All-Pennsylvania halfback on
a squad that included the major football schools such as Pitt and Penn State.
His running mate at halfback, for example, was Lydell Mitchell of Penn State.
On offense, in addition to Monsilovich, four other regulars return: tackle
Dave Connolly (5-11, 220), guard Ernie Macioce (5-11, 200), tight end
Neill Brady (6-2, 190) and quarterback Chuck Pinchotti (5-10, 170).
Defensively the picture is much brighter since 10 starters from the 1970
finals are back. This group is headed by linebacker Tom Rogish (5-10, 200),
ends Doug Roth (6-2, 205) and Dave Farrelly (6-1, 210); tackles John
Bullington (6-3, 220), Charlie Maurer (6-3, 210) and Gene Raymond
(6-0, 220); linebackers Greg Palchak (6-0, 190) and Phil Imbrogno (5-10,
190). Independent powerhouses Hillsdale and Akron give the Indians
another rugged schedule in '71.

Bald Eagles

EAGLES HAVE TALENT AND DEPTH
1971 OUTLOOK: The Golden Eagles have been a traditional state confer­
ence powerhouse and the Jacksmen have plenty of reasons to be optimistic
in their 1971 bid for the crown. The Eagles will not be faced with much of a
rebuilding job as experienced performers return to almost every position.
Coach Al Jacks concedes that his biggest job will be shaping a good offense
with the quarterbacking chores a crucial point. Junior Joe Marx, who filled
in admirably for Bob Erdeljac during his 1970 injury, is the likely candidate
for the job. Marx offered some fine running and passing in his bid for the
signal calling assignment. "This is one of our smaller teams defensively,
averaging about 205 pounds," says Jacks, "but I hope that quickness will
make up for the lack of size." Captain of the 1971 unit is Bruce Ehrenberger
(5-9, 186) expected to move from linebacker to defensive end. Also on hand
for the defensive eleven are such returning starters as end Mark Cidboy
(6-3, 208); tackles Dave Emerick (5-10, 195) and John Doto (6-1, 210);
halfback Tony Eupizi (5-9,159) and speedy safety Ron Corcetti (5-10,185).
Veterans bolstering the Eagles offensive attack include tight end Kevin Karrs,
tackle Mark Riddell, center Ray Bowerman, All-West guard Tom Olszewski,
tackle Dan Corbett and split end Mike Timmins. Backfield aces include
Mick Sarnese (6-0, 183), an agressive ground gainer, halfback Fred Rost
(5-9, 165) and fullback Kirk Johnson (6-0, 208). Rost was the leading
scorer in the West last season with his 9 touchdowns and finished second
in the state conference race with 56 points. With the addition of some
promising sophs, the Golden ones have the material to be a prime contender
for the Western Division toga.

EAGLES LURK AS DARKHORSE
1971 OUTLOOK: "Mike Packer" is the magic word for Lock Haven's 1971
football fortunes as the senior signal caller returns to fill the airways with
his pinpoint passing. The 6-3, 220-pound pro prospect finished as the
nation's top small college (NAIA) passer last year as he hit on 149 of 319
tosses for 2,129 yards and 15 touchdowns. He averaged 266 yards a game
in the air. Packer's efforts in two years of varsity action now total 225
completions, 3,132 yards and 24 scoring aerials. With the veteran at the
helm the Bald Eagles could come back strong for the 1971 schedule. "We're
going to switch positions of some key personnel," claims Eagle mentor
Bob Weller who has nine offensive regulars and six defensive starters
returning in his group of 29 lettermen. The offensive backfield returns for
the third straight year but it could be broken up this season with switches
in positions. Weller is planning to put running halfback Tommy Allen,
ex-Big 33 star, at wingback, move fullback Alex Nuzzo (6-1, 200) to the
tight end spot and shift wingback Wayne Hoffman to split end. This would
put hard-running Bob Shuey (6-0, 190) at fullback and Frank Geiger
(5-10, 180) at halfback. Back in the offensive line are Terrell Jones (6-0,
215, T), Ken Jones (6-0, 190, C), John Blackwell (5-10, 180, G), Jim Hess
(6-0, 190, G) and Larry Shervanick (6-1, 180, TE). Returning defensive
linemen include Melvin Abel (6-3, 210, E), Tom Zimmerman (6-0, 200, T),
along with secondary defenders Jeff Knarr (5-11, 215, LB), Steve Glass,
Paul Simcoe and Mike Shenkle. The Bald Eagles could play the spoilers
role in any one of their eight gridiron encounters.

BEARS FACE RUGGED '71 SCHEDULE
RED RAIDERS SEEK A WINNER
1971 OUTLOOK: "I was very pleased with our spring practice session
and I'm looking forward to a winning season in 1971." With those words,
veteran head coach Dave Dolbin capsulized his expectations for the coming
season. With quarterback Jim Monos back to steer the offense and a host of
available running backs, Dolbin is chiefly concerned about the defense.
"We still need work on our defensive secondary," remarked the Red Raider
coach. All-West middle guard. Bob Ockershausen (6-1, 205) should be the
mainstay of the defensive unit. Back on the offensive squad, the Raiders
will miss three-time All-Conference end Al Bowman. Fortunately the Red
Men have capable receivers in Bob Hickes (6-2, 205) and Ron Finley (6-0,
192), a leading pass catcher and rusher last year. "We do have some good
freshmen coming in and, since they are now eligible to play varsity ball, it
is quite possible two or three might make the starting units," commented
the eighth-year mentor. Last year was probably the best recruiting year that
the Raiders have had for a long time, Dolbin feels. All of the factors are
pointing toward the emergence of a winning football program at Shippensburg. The Raiders lost several close ball games last year and a couple of
different bounces could have given the Tribe a winning season.

1971 OUTLOOK: The Polar Bears and the Scots will be bumping heads
for the third time with each team owning a victory. "We think this will be
a good season due to the attitude of our returning players and our fine
incoming freshmen," reflects coach Bob Middleton. "The big task will be
to find replacements for graduating seniors, especially the defensive sec­
ondary." John Smith (6-3, 184), one of three quarterbacks who lettered
for the Bears, has three veteran receivers as top targets. Leading the list
is Don Augustine who grabbed 17 aerials during the 1970 campaign for
169 yards. The Orange and Black should get some timely protection with
offensive tackles Bill Snowball (5-10, 225) and Craig McCoy (6-5, 240)
to holdup onrushing defenders. Swift Jim Derfel (5-9, 172, TB) ground
out 334 yards to average 4.0 a carry last fall and will be counted on heavily.
Bob Lance, a 6-2, 223-pound tackle, shores up the Bears' defense along
with linebacker Mike Roseberry (6-0, 176) and halfback Steve Croghan
(5-11, 172). Halfback Marty Gaudoise (6-0, 185) and fullback Gordy
Stemen (6-1, 190) are promising newcomers who will hopefully add to
Northern's ground attack while veteran guards Dave Hughes and Wayne
Eby pave the way. In only his second year Coach Bob Middleton has many
reasons to be optimistic in spite of a rugged schedule. After losing their
first three games last year the Bears came on to win four of their last five
contests and have a solid nucleus of 23 lettermen to get off on the right
foot. Three of their 1971 foes were in bowl games last fall.

VULCANS CAPABLE OF SURPRISES
1971 OUTLOOK: The Fire Gods bounced back to their traditional winning
form with a 5-3 slate last year and a tie for second place in the Western
Division. A late season surge which featured upset wins over powerful
Indiana and Clarion may be warning signs of the Vulcans 1971 aspirations.
However, graduation claimed some of the finest defensive linemen in the
conference and second-year coach John Katusa still needs a field general
to direct the California attack. Top candidates for the post are newcomers
Randy Urban and Joe Seymour who both lack varsity experience. Katusa
will find some veterans to carry the pigskin, however, in halfback Bob
Flash (5-7, 170, sr.), halfback Tony Sargo (5-5, 160, jr.). Gary DeHainaut,
who proved to be an effective ground gainer at the quarterback slot, will
also see duty as a running back. Veteran offensive tackles Chuck Grehosky
(6-2, 210, sr.) and Paul Orange (6-1, 205, sr.) should help the Fire Gods
to move the football with their experience up front. In spite of some major
losses the Californians are still strong in the defensive ranks. Tackle Rich
Arrigoni (6-1, 205, sr.) and middle guard Nick Frobuck (6-1, 230, sr.) take
turns cutting down opponents. Giving support behind the line are linebacker
Jack Baciak along with defensive backs Bill Mahady, Don Matthews and
Joe Spiker. A forfeit win over Wittenberg gave the Vulcans a winning season,
but the Fire Gods have to face the Ohians again on Buckeye turf. Wittenberg's
return along with traditional conference powers give the downstaters a
strong challenge for the 1971 schedule.

The Past

A GLANCE AT 'THE GREATEST SEASON"
When Edinboro State football coach Bill McDonald was first quizzed
about his 1970 gridiron chargers in early August, he was hesitant to respond
with any kind of optimism. "Our chances of having a successful season this
year depends upon just how quickly our ball players can come of age,"
projected the Scots' second-year pilot.
No one seems to know what the McDonald-led staff fed their players,
but the young Scots matured quickly.
Record breaking performances became the order of the day as the Clans­
men completed their regular season schedule unbeaten (9-0), captured the
Pennsylvania Conference championship, won the Lambert Bowl and earned
a spot in the NAIA national playoffs.
Enroute to their best finish in 44 years of football on the Edinboro campus,
the Scots etched 25 new marks in the Red and White's record book.
Highlighting the charts was a grinding ground game which averaged
over 272 yards a game and a stingy defense that allowed only 64.5 yards a
game in the rushing department. Complimenting the defensive stats was a
new season high of 16 interceptions that bettered 1969's count by one.
Speedy tailback Al Raines, who suffered a bruised heart and missed four
of the Clan's 10 games, continued to add to his rushing and scoring records as
Edinboro's greatest back. The shifty Scot managed to garner a ninth-place
national finish in rushing with his 138.8 yards a game average and his 5.7
yards per carry mark.
As a team the Scots also earned some top spots nationally as they ranked
12th in rushing offense (272.8 yards a game), eighth in rushing defense (64.5
yards per game) and 23rd in team defense.
Post-season honors were bestowed in a number of Fighting Scot gridders
as seven squad members were named to the All-Conference team. Al Raines
and tackle Ebby Hollins, who was named to almost every first team in the
state, won national acclaim with NAIA All-America Honorable Mention honors

THE COLLEGE'S HISTORY
The beginnings of the college were laid in 1857, over one hundred years
ago, when a band of Scotch-lrish 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 1962 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.

QUALITY LEADERSHIP . . .
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 curriculum, the pro­
gram for educational supervision and administra­
tion, and the improvement of inter-personal re­
lationships among the various membersof working
groups. His concern in this area has led to his
Dr. Chester T. McNerney
writing of several books, lecturing and conducting
President
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.

ATHLETIC PROGRAM CONTINUES TO GROW
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 has grown in recent years to total 11 varsity
sports. Included are baseball, basketball, bowling, cross country, football,
golf, soccer, swimming, tennis, track and wrestling. Four varsity sports have
been added in just the past three years.
Sox Harrison Stadium, one of two major facilities located in the sports
complex, has a seating capacity for 5,000 spectators and provides com­
petition areas for both the football and track teams. A baseball diamond of
major league specifications is also located just to the west of the stadium.
The McComb Fieldhouse contains three basketball courts, an AAU-sized
swimming pool, a diving tank with one and three meter boards, underwater
sound systems, lighting systems and viewing ports, wrestling room, two
handball courts, a corrective gym, medical suite, a rifle range, two steam
rooms, locker room space for 1,000 students and many additional features to
meet the needs of the Health and Physical Education Department. Seating
capacity of the gym is approximately 4,600 while the natatorium seats
500 spectators.
Four different sets of tennis courts are situated throughout the campus
while 8 bowling lanes are provided in the new student union for intercollegiate
competition. The nearby Culbertson Hills Country Club is the home of the
Scots' golf and cross country teams.
