"EDNA-BORO" — One of Edinboro's most faithful sports fans is a frequent
sideline visitor named Edna-boro. She's a real "Boro" booster all year round
and, while she isn't able to make the road trips with the team, her red “GO
BORO GO" blanket has become a familiar sight in opposing stadiums.
Unfortunately Edna might be a little late for the 1972 kickoff as she is anxiously
awaiting the arrival of a baby "Boro" booster after a twelve-month (whew!)
pregnancy.

HEY! HOLD IT A MINUTE, WE’VE
MADE SOME CHANGES . . .
Yes, since you looked us over last year, there have been some alterations
in the HOME OF THE FIGHTING SCOTS.
NCAA — Most noteworthy is Edinboro State's recent NCAA (National Col­
legiate Athletic Association) admittance. The Scots became an active member
on September 1, 1972 and are eligible to compete in NCAA national cham­
pionship events immediately. Edinboro football fans will be happy to learn
that, should the Scot gridders prove to be successful in future years, they
would be eligible for such post-season events as the Boardwalk Bowl, the
Knute Rockne Bowl or the Grantland Rice Bowl.
COACHES — You might also notice some new faces along the sidelines this
fall with the addition of coaches Fred Remmy and Andy Robertson. Remmy,
who will be handling the defensive secondary, comes to the Scots from Miami
University in Florida where he served as the Hurricanes' head recruiter.
Robertson, a graduate of Southern Colorado State, will help guide the junior
varsity program and scout Fighting Scot opponents throughout the season.
NAIA, ECAC — Along with the NCAA membership, there have been some
other changes in the Scots status in both the NAIA and the ECAC. Edinboro
State has been moved into Division I of NAIA competition and now must
compete for honors against such national powerhouses as Grambling,
Eastern New Mexico, Florida A & M, Texas A & I, Kentucky State and Arkansas
Tech to mention just a few. In its two years as a NAIA Division II membership,
Edinboro was ranked third nationally in 1970 and fifth in 1971. The Clansmen
have likewise moved up a notch in the ECAC where they are now listed as a
Division II team instead of Division III. In its two years as a Division III
member, Edinboro captured the Lambert Bowl in 1970 and was runner-up in
1971. The Scots must now compete for the Lambert Cup which is awarded
for outstanding performance by an eastern middle-sized college football team.
All of the Pennsylvania Conference schools are listed in this division as well
as such notables as Central Connecticut, Hobart, Montclair, Maryland State,
Tufts and Springfield.
STADIUM — Physical changes in the stadium area itself include the addition
of new pro-type single bar goal posts and a new scoreboard at the south end
of the field. Fighting Scot helmets sport a new look with a decal patterned
after a Scottish thistle that forms an "E".

Prior to his assignment at
Edinboro, McDonald served as
assistant football coach at Indiana
Univ. of Pa. for three years and head
coach at Hopewell High School
from 1958-1965.
While he directed Indiana Uni­
versity's offense, the Big Indians
registered 24 regular season vic­
tories 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
with a 40 points-per-game average.
The Wilmerding, Pa., native
guided Hopewell High School to a
46-25-1 slate during his seven-year
tenure as head 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
Championship.

Head Coach - Bill McDonald

The Fighting Scots' grid pilot served as an assistant coach at Braddock
High School through two undefeated seasons and also at Latrobe High.
McDonald holds both a B.S. degree in education and an M.Ed. from the
Univ. 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.

LEADING THE LINEBACKERS
Bill McDonald's magic touch has completely turned around Edinboro
State's football fortunes since his appointment to the head post in 1969. Under
his direction the Fighting Scots have not lost a regular season game in their
last 20 outings. In just his third year at the helm, his 22-6-1 record puts him at
the top of the winning percentage list with a 78.6 reading. After an initial
4-4-1 season in 1969, his Fighting Scots became the greatest in ESC history
when they went 8-0 in regular season play, captured the Lambert Bowl, won
the Pennsylvania Conference championship and earned a berth in the NAIA
national playoffs. His 1970 team followed up with an undefeated regular
season (9-0) and a second straight PC Western Division title. Over 50
individual and team records have been established during his first three
years at the reigns.
Upon completion of 1971's successful venture, numerous post-season
laurels were bestowed upon the Scot's mentor. The Football Writers Assoc­
iation 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.

Jack Hyland

Entering his fourth year on the Fighting Scot
staff. Jack Hyland has made his mark at ESC as
both an outstanding recruiter and coach. The
personable North Braddock product has demon­
strated his versatility by instructing both offensive
and defensive prospects. Jack starred as a
quarterback during his collegiate career at Slippery
Rock State College where he earned four
consecutive varsity letters as a Rocket gridder
while also participating in basketball, track and
baseball. Following graduation in 1954, he spent
10 seasons as head coach at Johnstown's
Ferndale High. In 1964 he accepted the top
post at Rochester High where he coached the
Rams until he was selected to guide the football
program at Meadville High School in 1968. Jack
and his wife, Nancy, along with their five children,
are currently residing in the Meadville area.

DEVELOPING THE DEFENSE

Tony Zvonar

SECURING THE SECONDARY
Fred Remmy, former head football recruiter
and freshman coach at the University of Miami,
moved north from the Sunshine state this past
summer to groom the Scots secondary. The
Verona, Pa., native graduated from Miami in 1959
where his grid play landed him a berth in the
annual North-South All-Star Game. Fred began
his coaching career in 1960 as an assistant at his
hometown high school of Verona and he then
spent a two-year stint as head coach and athletic
director at the United States Coast Guard
Receiving Center. Prior to returning to Miami in
1970, Remmy was named head football coach at
the Florida high schools of Dunedin (1965-67)
and Lakeland (1968-70). Dunedin posted its
first winning season in history while Lakeland
finished with its first successful schedule in six
years. Fred, his wife, Pat, and their two children,
Rick and Stacy, recently moved to Edinboro.

TUTORING THE BIG

Jim Bowen

FIRING OUT THE FOE

Molding the Scots' highly respected front four
has been the job of Tony Zvonar for the past three
seasons. His efforts have rewarded Edinboro State
with one of the finest drilled defensive lines in
the conference. Tony, who is a 1963 Shippensburg
State grad, spent a five-year span in the grid ranks
at Hopewell High School, his alma mater, and also
was a member of the Aliquippa High staff in 1968
before joining the Scots. While capturing three
varsity letters as an offensive tackle at Shippens­
burg, Zvonar received numerous grid awards. He
was named as one of the Red Raiders' co-captains,
selected to the all-conference team, the NAIA
District 30 squad, and earned a berth on the allstate selections. The Scots' defensive line specialist and his wife, Anne, reside in Edinboro.

With a pair of record breaking offensive years
in the ledger, Jim Bowen's two tries at directing
the Scots' scoring attack have been nothing but
successful. Bowen coached the once-beaten 1968
ESC freshman team and was the varsity's offensive
backfield coach in 1967. Jim was head football
coach at Fairview High School for 10 years and
compiled an outstanding record of 76 wins and
12 losses. His grid teams captured 4 league
championships while riding 25 and 19 game
winning streaks. The knowledgeable Scot coach
graduated from Slippery Rock State College in
1957 and earned his master's degree from
Buffalo University. Jim and his wife, Joyce,
along with their 7 children, two of which are
twin girls, reside in Girard.

Joe Shesman

Edinboro backs have enjoyed the expertise of
Coach Joe Shesman for the past three years as
Scot offensive lines have really come of age under
his leadership. A highly successful football and
baseball mentor at Fort LeBoeuf High School, Joe
served as an assistant Bison coach for 11 seasons
and then, a ter his appointment as head coach in
1966 guided LeBoeuf to three straight winning
campaigns. The 1955 Edinboro grad earned four
varsity letters in both football and track while
performing for his alma mater. As LeBoeuf's dia­
mond coach, Joe led the Bisons to winning slates
for nine consecutive seasons, never finishing
lower than third in the Erie County league and
capturing four league championships. The Scot
coach and his wife, Izzy, have three children.
Matt, Kim and Karen.

GROOMING THE GRASS ROOTS
Guy Conti, a Freeport, Pa., native was added
to the Fighting Scots gridiron staff a year ago to
take the reigns of the junior varsity program. The
Clarion grad served as head football coach at
Northwestern High in 1971 and baseball mentor
at Edinboro State during the springs of 1970 and
1971 where his diamond teams posted record
breaking seasons. Conti spent a professional
baseball stint with the Houston Astros organiza­
tion as a catcher. The versatile athlete was an out­
standing football playerat Freeport High and Clarion
State where he led the offensive attacks from his
quarterback slot. He has also served as a teacher,
vice-principal, head baseball mentor and assistant
basketball coach at Northwestern High School.
Conti, his wife, Janet, and their children, Kim,
Curt, Craig and Kelly, reside in Albion.

Andy Robertson

Southern Colorado State's Andy Robertson
was recently named to the Edinboro staff as a
junior varsity mentor. Andy was an All-WPIAL
quarterback at Hopewell High School while
playing under Bill McDonald. After graduation in
1964 he traveled to Southern Colorado State
where he played halfback for three years. The
Indians enjoyed three straight winning seasons,
and earned the opportunity to play in the NAIA
national playoffs in 1965. After receiving a B.A.
degree in 1968, he served as an assistant grid
coach at Florence (Colo.) before returning to the
Keystone State in 1969 as a grid aide at Derry Area
High. An assistantship at the University of North
Carolina during 1970 was interrupted by a 1
"call to duty" with the U. S. Armed Forces
in Germany.

BEHIND THE SCENES . . .
ATHLETIC DIRECTOR: Since Al Hall's
appointment as Athletic Director in
1968, Edinboro State has enjoyed one
of the most respected and most suc­
cessful collegiate athletic programs in
the East. Through his efforts ESC has
expanded to twelve varsity sports and
attained new memberships in the
ECAC and NCAA while building a
coaching staff that has compiled the
I
i
College's best record in history. Al's
*
■
selection to numerous sports com­
mittees in the Erie area along with
posts in both the ECAC and Pennsyl­
vania Conference bear out his dedica­
tion to the world of athletics. A
graduate of Baldwin Wallace College,
Al Hall
he served as Assistant Director of Ath­
letics at Akron University for two years and piloted Akron's cross country
teams to championship finishes for 12 seasons. Al's wife, Pam, daughter,
Beth, and their son. Dale, reside in Edinboro.

/
r

SPORTS INFORMATION DIRECTOR; Paul New­
man began his duties five years ago as ESC's
first Sports Information Director and now also
serves as Assistant to the President. Paul is a 1964
graduate of Edinboro where he earned both his B.S.
degree and M.Ed. while majoring in English. Prior
to joining the Scots, he held a teaching position in
Ashtabula, Ohio, for three years. In connection
with his duties, he is also the District 18 Publicity
Chairman for the National Association of Inter­
collegiate Athletics and recently completed a twoyear term as President of the NAIA's Sports In­
formation Director's Association. Paul, his wife,
Connie, and their children, Paul, Jr. and Michele,
make their home in Edinboro.

Bob Klingler

Paul Newman

TEAM TRAINER: Bob Klingler begins his sixth
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 reg­
istered physical therapist in 1954. He later re­
ceived his M.S. from Bucknell. Prior to accepting
his ESC 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. Both
his cinder and cage teams never experienced a
losing season, while his grid teams continually
posted successful campaigns in the powerful
Capitol Area Conference. Bob, his wife, Jill, and
daughter, Julie, make their home in Edinboro.

—8—

Should the Western Division champs turn to the airways, however, a trio
of veteran receivers in split end Mike Romeo, flanker John Gecina and tight
end John Petchel are on hand as prime targets.
Newcomer Joe Lauer (5-10, 173) along with freshmen Dale King (5-8,
185) and speedster Mark Crump (5-9,160) might help the backfield situation
somewhat, but inexperience will still haunt the Scots. Any one of several
other candidates could land a running back spot with Romaniszyn, but this
posi ion is really up for grabs.
Although the Clan's star studded backfield is gone, one of Edinboro's
strong points will be the offensive line. Scheduled for action up front are
John Chakot (T, 6-1, 220), Bob Miseyka (G, 6-0, 200), Mike Gordon (C,
6-0, 215), Dean Pikoulas (G, 6-0, 200) and John Kuster (T, 6-1, 225).
The Scots need help desperately on the defensive unit which was
decimated by diploma fever. Standout linebacker Rich lorfido (5-11, 205),
tackle Bill Bender (6-2, 220) and halfback Dave Gates are the only returning
regulars.
lorfido, a starter ever since his sophomore year, has been tagged as one
of the top defensive players in the conference. Last year he shared the lead
on the individual tackling chart with 120 stops to his credit after smashing
the Edinboro mark during his soph debut with 141 hits.
Veterans on hand to rebuild the defensive unit are Rick DiOrio (LB, 6-0,
220), George Gast (DE, 5-11, 200), Tom Herr (DT, 6-3, 220), Tom Bliss
(LB, 5-10, 210), Jay Minotas (LB, 5-10, 190) and Mark Worley (LB, 5-

11, 200).
John Walker, along with speedy Jim Mastroianni, will most likely team
up with Dave Gates to bolster the secondary.
SHOES NOT SO "OFFENSIVE"—Scot Mentor Bill McDonald
ponders replacements to fill the shoes of missing Ouarterback Joe
Sanford, Tailback Al Raines and Fullback Bob Mengerink.

'll

1972 SCOTS ^^KILT” BY GRADUATION
Edinboro State's 1972 grid fortunes are pretty much a giant-sized
question mark. After piling up back-to-back undefeated regular seasons, the
Scots are faced with replacing a backfield that averaged 424 yards per game
and rebuilding a defense that returns only three starters.
Edinboro returns only 19 of last year's 37 letter winners to open its 1972
campaign with independent clashes against Waynesburg and powerful Ash­
land College at home prior to opening conference action at Slippery Rock State.
With the loss of All-American tailback Al Raines, quarterback Joe Sanford
and fullback Bob Mengerink, Coach Bill McDonald lost an offensive attack
that ranked third nationally in the NAIA and shattered almost every Edinboro
rushing record in the book.
Flankerback Jim Romaniszyn (6-2, 225, Sr.), one of five Edinboro AllAmerica honorable mention winners last year, returns as the Clan's top
offensive player and hopefully will fill one of the holes in the Scots' ground
attack as a running back. The versatile stalwart should find the conversion a
familiar one after switching to a tailback slot during his sophomore year to
lead Edinboro to its first Pennsylvania Conference crown. While pacing the
Clansmen to a 14-6 win over West Chester, Romaniszyn scored both Scot
TD's and set an ESC record with his 36 carries in one game,
Scott McKissock (6-3, 190, Sr.) will most likely get the nod at the
quarterback slot where the Scots will stick with their triple option offense.

Newcomers John Bayer (LB, 6-0, 205), Denny Lotti (DT, 6-2, 235)
and Tom Nave (DT, 6-3, 226) have also been spotlighted by the coaching
staff to hopefully plug some of the gaps.
"We have a heckuva lot of question marks," reflects Edinboro Coach
Bill McDonald about his 1972 squad, "and so far we haven't found too
many answers. Besides replacing people on both our offensive and defensive
units we are faced with competing in a conference that continually improves.
No one can really tell who might win our division this year."
One "unknown" factor that could figure heavily in the Scots' season is
the addition of a talented crop of freshmen prospects.

TODAY’S GAME
A vastly improved Waynesburg eleven will give the Scots all they can handle
in this year's season lidlifter. A giant-sized veteran defensive unit that held Edinboro's great backfield in check for three quarters returns to stalk the Clan once
again.
The invading Yellow Jackets have size that won't quit with tackles Tom
Dutton (6-0, 239) and Don Fry (5-11,215) along with linebackers Tom McCain
(6-1,220) and Jim Dumm (6-3, 260).
Waynesburg dropped a close 28-19 contest last week to traditionally powerful
Fairmont State. Look for today's game to be a surprising tester for the Red and
White.
Edinboro State will be striving to battle through its 21st straight regular
season game without a loss. The only blemish on that streak is a tie with California
at the close of the 1969 season. The Fighting Scots have won 17 consecutive
regular season contests and will be looking to extend the skein to 18 against the
invading Yellow Jackets.

Last year we won. Thisyearwe
did a little better.

DATSUN
FROM NISSAN WITH PRIDE

The American Road Race
of Champions is the big annual
bash where the best amateur
racers in the country get to­
gether to find out who’s who.
In that kind of competition,
winning the championship is a
real achievement.
So last year at Road Atlanta
when our Datsun 240-Z fin­
ished 1-2-3 in the C-production championship, we figured

we’d done very well.
This year we did a little bet­
ter. Our 240-2 won C-production again, followed closely by
three more Z-cars in 2nd, 3rd
and 4th place. Meanwhile,
Datsun took the D-production
class title and a Datsun 510
walked off with the B-sedan
championship.
At this rate next year ought
to be a lulu!

HOT OFF THE GRIDIRON
Fighting Scot Grade Card, 1972
OFFENSE

QUARTERBACK- Scott McKissock has the nod here and has been doing some
homework. He brings plenty of experience but seems torn between the triple option
and the straight drop back pass. Mickey Dustal arrived in "school" late and is still
being somewhat held back because of his tardiness. Freshman Ken Widel has the
mental know how, yet can t be expected to handle the heavy course load with his
newly acquired study habits. PRE-SEASON RATING —B.

PRO KNITWEAR

RUNNING BACKS —All-America candidate Jim Romaniszyn has added almost
30 pounds to an already bull-like frame to give the Scots a top notch power runner.
Add to this, the speed of freshman Mark Crump for an inside-outside combination.
Depth appears to be the only major problem here where the Clan could come up
with another fine running attack. PRE-SEASON RATING —A.
RECEIVERS
Experience, speed and fine hands characterize this unit where
veteran performers return to do their thing. Split end Mike Romeo is probably one
of the fastest in the league while tight end John Petchel combines pass catching
ability with superior blocking. Flanker John Gecina is always on hand as an
offensive threat. PRE-SEASON RATING—A.
OFFENSIVE LINE — Honor students of the game abound here where the Scots
should be the toughest. Some interior switching has been done as JohnJDhakot
has moved from tackle to guard while Bob Miseyka has jumped to the vacated
tackle slot. Toss in veterans Dean Pikoulas, Larry Underwood, Mike Gordon and
RAT^NG^^^^A^^°
breakers on almost any test. PRE-SEASON
TOTAL EVALUATION OF OFFENSE — Potentially this can be another outstanding
point-producing unit. The biggest question mark appears to be consistency. One
or two brilliant showings per series will, of course, not be enough. This group must
put it all together to control the football and sustain scoring drives. PRE-SEASON
RATING—A-.

DEFENSE

DEFENSIVE LINE —Head-on hitting is stabilized by interior tackles Bill Bender
and Tom Herr while George Gast anchors one of the terminals. Three of the front
four positions are filled with highly respectable personnel, but the other end slot
is really up in the air. Veteran Rick DiOrio and newcomer Denny Lotti are rugged
performers who vyill continually be in the thick of the action. Frank Berzansky will
switch from his kicking shoe to battle for the open defensive end spot along with
Tom Nave. PRE-SEASON RATING —B+.
LINEBACKERS
All-Conference and All-America honorable mention winner
Rick lorfido is the only battle-tested gridder in the foursome. Inexperience and
lack of overall size could hurt here, but they are fairly well offset but quickness and
good old hardnosing. Mark Worley and Jay Monotas have been waiting in the
wings for a couple of years and seem ready to show their wares. Hard hitting John
Bayer is another new face in a group that could make or break the whole year
PRE-SEASON RATING —B.
SECONDARY
A rebuilt secondary that can only really be graded after some
strenuous testing. Fine athletes with plenty of foot speed are on hand, but unity is
still a question mark after being together for such a short time. Dave Gates and
Jim Mastroianni have logged the most time under fire as challengers John Walker,
Mike Fetzer and Rick James try to perfect the system. PRE-SEASON RATING —b!
TOTAL EVALUATION OF DEFENSE — With only three starters returning, the
defensive unit will be moulded as the season progresses. Although this group does
not have size, it does possess a Bill McDonald prerequisite called — speed. Look
for quickness to help offset size and experience. PRE-SEASON RATING —B.

Yellow Jackets

BUCKEYES: BIG, QUICK, STRONG

JACKETS HOPE TO PUT IT TOGETHER
1972 OUTLOOK: After suffering their first losing campaign in 11 years,
Waynesburg's Yellow Jackets hope to get back on the track in 1972 with a
host of returning lettermen. Fifth-year coach Darrell Lewis does have a bright
side to look at when he considers the size of his defensive squad. The same
unit that held the Scots in check for three quarters are on hand again in the
likes of front four Chuck Milcic (6-3, 259), Tom Dutton (5-11, 241), Jim
Dumm (6-3,265) and Frank Muehiheuser (6-0, 200). Tom McCain (6-2,211)
leads a contingent of experienced linebackers. Lewis must find a field goal
kicker and punter to replace Bill Vrtar who held down the post for three
seasons and booted a 47-yard field goal last year, the longest in Waynesburg's
College history.

1972 OUTLOOK: Fighting Scot fans will get a chance to see one of the best
College Division teams in the nation when Ashland's powerful Purple Eagles
invade Sox Harrison Stadium. Only two starters were lost off the Eagles'
offensive unit which averaged 304.5 yards in total offense per game last
season. Ron Slater, last year's offensive leader who passed for 1,001 yards in
1971, will again be looking for his favorite receiver Bob Rosati (26 receptions,
373 yards) while counting on offensive standouts Al Carter (T, 6-3, 250),
Randy Fierbaugh (TE, 6-2, 215) and John Viar (FB, 6-1, 220). The defense,
which permitted only 12.3 points per game last year, will miss All-American
tackle Bill Overmyer, now with the Philadelphia Eagles, but has the
makings of another fine forward wall in Dave Lucas (MG, 6-0, 210), Jim
Yockey (T, 6-3, 225) and Bill Hoffman (T, 6-2, 220). Solid linebackers Tony
Volpi (6-0, 215) and Bill Miller (6-2, 220) are backed up by a veteran
secondary. Size, strength and quickness make the Eagles an all-around club.

TALENTED ROCKETS POINT TO TOP
1972 OUTLOOK: With 36 lettermen to pick from and 16 starters back from
last year's 7-2 team. Coach Bob DiSpirito's Rockets could wind up with the
Western Division Title on their launching pad. Returning to haunt 1972 op­
ponents is All-Conference fullback Mike Kish (5-9, 220) and quarterback
Tim Nunes who combined to give the Rockets' wins in their last six straight
games. Running back John Suvoy along with a trio of promising wingbacks
round out a potent Slippery Rock offense. Defensively the team is solid with
nine regulars back in action including standouts Pat Risha (DT, 6-4, 265),
Tom Jenkins (DE, 6-3, 210), Terry Factor (LB, 5-10, 190) and All-State
cornerback Ron Hunt. Only a loss to Edinboro kept the "Rock" from winning
the 1971 Western title.

Big Indians

BIG INDIANS AMONG NATIONAL LEADERS
1972 OUTLOOK: It's no mistake that Indiana's football teams have recorded
the second best winning percentage among the nation's college division
teams over the past 10 years. The Indians have been tough to beat in the
past and 1972 will be no different. Although Coach Bill Neal is faced with
the task of replacing some outstanding performers, it appears that he needs
only a quarterback to ignite the Tribe's eleventh straight winning season.
Soph Jay Collier, and 6-2 George Yokitis, a Louisville transfer, are the top
aspirants. Whoever wins the job will enjoy throwing to big tight end Mark
Jevicky (20 receptions, 332 yards). Pass thief Dave Balmert is the mainstay
of a veteran defensive unit that is anchored in the line by tackles Charlie
Maurer (6-4, 240) and Gene Raymond (6-0, 225).

Golden Eagles

Bald Eagles

EAGLES NO LONGER FOR THE BIRDS

GOLDEN ONES SHOULD FLY HIGH
1972 OUTLOOK: Strong defensive units have been one of Coach Al Jack's
trademarks (57-22-9 in his nine years at the helm) and the Golden Eagles
figure to stand by tradition in 1972. With versatile quarterback Joe Marx
returning to harass the opposition. Clarion will be in the thick of the battle
as usual. The squads only unknown quantity is in the backfield where a crop of
talented youngsters are kicking up their heels. All-Conference veterans will be
clearing the way along the line where Marc Riddell (T, 6-1,230), Dan Corbett
(T, 6-0, 220), Mike Herring (G, 5-10,302) and Ray Bowerman (C, 5-11,208)
do their thing well. Top performers back for defensive duty are Bob Guyer (E),
Ed Fryman (E), Larry Cirka (T, 5-11, 216) and speedy safety Terry Sullivan.

1972 OUTLOOK: With 30 lettermen ready for action. Coach Bob Weller's
Bald Eagles appear ready to turn the corner after posting the best Lock Haven
record in six years with a 4-4 finish in 1971. Experience abounds on a team
that has 18 of 22 offensive and defensive starters casting aspiring glances
towards the Western Division title. Ed McGill, who served as Mike Packer's
understudy for the past two years, is ready to take the reigns and direct the
Eagle air attack. Waiting to haul down pigskin aerials are mini-flanker
George Haley (28 recept., 352 yds.) and speedy split end Tommy Allen
(42 recept., 649 yds.). A host of outstanding newcomers augment an already
respectable aggregate of athletes.

Red Raiders

DRAGONS ^TIRE UP” WITH EXPERIENCE

RED RAIDERS SPORT NEW LOOK
1972 OUTLOOK; "Our first scrimmage showed some good, aggressive
football, both offensively and defensively. I like what I see so far.” These are
the words of Gene Epiey, the new head coach at Shippensburg State, who
recently came to the Red Raiders from the University of Utah. One of the
major problems confronting the new mentor is getting his squad of 30
lettermen familiar with a new system. With Jim Monos graduating after two
years at the controls, Epiey's grooming sophomore quarterbacks Gary
Henderson and Randy Ecker. Injuries ran rampant to mar Ship's 1971
campaign as the Red Raiders battled to a 2-6 slate. Healed wounds, a new
stadium and an entire new system will mark a new beginning for Shippensburg's football fortunes.

1972 OUTLOOK: The Red Dragons move into 1972 combat with 15
lettermen back from a 4-5 season. The defense, with seven starters returning,
has an edge in experience on the offense where only five starting players
will be in uniform. Coach Roger Robinson has high hopes for tight end Gary
Theobald (6-2, 210) who will be a prime target for quarterback Mark Hinsch
(6-1,185). Bulldozing fullback Van Berg (6-1,220), who averaged 4.3 yards
per carry during the 1972 campaign, will pair up with halfback Tom Blair
(5-10, 180) to form the nucleus of the offensive backfield. The Red Dragon
backs should find plenty of holes up front with a king-size lineman like Tom
Marrin (C, 6-1, 215), Fred Booker (T, 6-4, 230) and Rick Folderer (T, 6-3,
220) leading the way. Tackle Tom Duedrich (6-4, 240) is the mainstay of the
line defensive unit where teammates Russ Hohiman (DE, 6-1, 215) and
Steve Wojnar (DE, 6-2, 205) also excell. Experience should prove to be the
key for Cortland's upswing in 1972 with 22 seniors waiting to see action.
The Edinboro-Cortland clash will mark the first time that the two schools
have met on the gridiron.

LAST YEAR'S GAME; Al Raines turns the corner
on a Shippensburg defender as he starts his 71 -yard
run to paydirt before the home fans. Raines carried
the bail only three times yet tallied on TD jaunts of
20, 54 and 71 yards while accumulating 145 yards.
Long scores became the order of the day as Sanford
added a 64-yarder and Jack McCurry raced 85
yards with a punt return for scores.

VULCAN OFFENSE STILL A QUESTION MARK
1972 OUTLOOK: Although the 1972 prospects are somewhat brighter with
28 numeral winners returning, such familiar problems as depth and lack of
experience on the offensive unit still plague the Vulcans. Senior quarterbacks
Gary DeHainaut (6-0,170) and Joe Seymour (6-3, 206) are being challenged
by a pair of transfers in Joe Tokar (6-2, 195) from Temple and Jim Uhrinek
(6-0, 195) from Indiana, Pa. The Californians are still quite respectable
defensively with the likes of Jack Baciak (DE, 6-0, 190), Derrick Jones (DT,
6-0, 230), Alan Natali (DE, 6-0, 200) and linebacker Don Mathews. Running
backs Tony Sargo and Jim Burns (FB, 6-1, 205) form the nucleus of the
offense along with split end Ted Gialames.

A WINNER FROM GRIDIRON
From its beginnings as a private academy in 1856, Edinboro State
College has surged to the forefront as one of the leading educational institu­
tions in western Pennsylvania. Located just 15 miles south of Erie, Pa., the
college's setting offers a contrast of seasons. Enhanced by the beauty of
Edinboro Lake, the community serves as a resort center during the summer
while numerous nearby ski slopes offer a variety of recreation in the pic­
turesque winter months. The college's location enables it to readily serve
the tri-state area with its proximity to Pittsburgh, Pa. (125 miles), Cleveland,
Ohio (100 miles) and Buffalo, New York (120 miles). Moreover, it is easily
accessible from the north and south by Interstate 79 and east and west by
Interstate 90.

TO CLASSROOM

.... ESC

Until recently the chief objective of the college was the education and
preparation of classroom teachers for the schools of the Commonwealth.
With the implementation of programs in arts, sciences and humanities,
Edinboro has now become a multi-purpose institution of higher learning
serving the educational needs of a tri-state area.
The College has experienced a rapid growth rate in students faculty and
physical plant. Forty buildings cover the 585-acre campus which now
services more than 7,000 students.

QUALITY LEADERSHIP KEEPS ESC ON THE MOVE

Miller Research Learning Center

Edinboro President - Dr. Chester T. McNerney

In its university oriented role, the College makes contributions in the
fields of education, government, conservation, environmental improvement,
urban and rural problems, crime prevention, and service to business and
industry. Edinboro seeks to offer educational programs which will afford
maximum opportunities to its potential students and to meet the educational
needs of Its region from a professional and a cultural standpoint.
With the addition of the liberal arts degree program in 1962, the College's
curriculum has expanded to include numerous course selections. Curricula
range from elementary and secondary education, special fields in art, library
science, music, speech and special education to medical technology.
Student activities are designed to develop the personality, poise, selfconfidence and professional awareness that will fit graduates for significant
participation in American society.
The College stresses friendly relations among students and faculty, as
well as active student participation in decisions affecting them. Quality
education has been an Edinboro tradition for more than a century as gradu­
ates have distinguished themselves in the professions, business and industry.
With the appointment of Dr. Chester T. McNerney as Edinboro State's
President in 1966, the College witnessed the addition of a prominent leader
who is dedicated to the academic life, a tireless advocate of personal involve­
ment in the religious and civic affairs of one's community, and an educator
who visibly believes in and practices total individual professional commitment.
Under Dr. McNerney's leadership Edinboro State has undergone in­
novations and reorganization that has enabled the College to keep in step
with the times and maintain its academic excellence.

ATHLETIC PROGRAM SETS TORRID PACE
While Edinboro State has been flourishing as an educational institution,
the College's athletic program has kept stride with a torrid pace of its own.
The Scots' athletic program has grown to include 12 varsity sports, having
added five new sports within the last four years. Officially listed on the
Fighting Scot register are baseball, basketball, bowling, cross country,
football, golf, judo, soccer, swimming, tennis, track and wrestling.
Scot teams have been busy adding victories to the list of varsity sports
as the Clansmen won 7 out of every 10 contests during last year's athletic
schedule.
Intercollegiate athletics play an important role in the total educational
program 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.
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.

CROWDS WATCH SCOT GRIDDERS
Pictured at top left is the largest
crowd in Edinboro State's football
history as an estimated 11,000 fans
jammed Sox Harrison Stadium to
view last year's homecoming en­
counter between the Fighting Scots
and Slippery Rock State College.
Attendance at Edinboro football
games has skyrocketed over the
past three years with significant in­
creases in spectator support at home
contests. The Scots averaged a
surprising 6,575 fans per home
crowd last year. Attendance figures
have almost doubled since 1969
when the Scots began their climb
to the top of the ranks in the
national small collegefootball ratings.

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.
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, a large
concession stand and a glass enclosed press box.
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.
