LH OB — DAVE BOWER

The air over Sox Harrison Stadium should be filled
with footballs today when the Scots' record-breaking
passer, Jude Basile, meets up with Lock Haven signal
caller Dave Bower.
In just his second season as a varsity starter,
Basile, from Summerhill, Pa., has set four ESC throwing
marks and currently ranks among the nation's top ten
passers with his 168.6 yards per game average. The
strong-armed junior revised three Scot standards last
week when he claimed top honors in career completions
(112), career passing (1,681) and eclipsed his own
season passing mark with his 843 yards in five games.
Basile's 250-yard output against Indiana gave him
a fourth record as he surpassed Joe Sanford's single­
game high of 247 yards against Clarion in 1971.
To date the Notre Dame transfer has hit on 54 of
115 tosses while finding receivers in the end zone
on three occasions.
Lock Haven's Bower has been more impressive in
the completion department where he has connected on
73 of 126 attempts for 647 yards and three scores.
Both quarterbacks have been frustrated, however,
in their efforts to get their teams on the winning track.
Edinboro shows only one loss on the season in five
tries, yet a pair of ties have slowed the Scots down in
the victory column. Lock Haven's fate has been much

bleaker as the Bald Eagles are still looking for their
first win after five games.
Edinboro's offensive efforts have been hampered
by injuries which claimed tailback Melvin Morrisette,
the team's leading rusher, guard Andre Wachenheimer
and tight end Steve Larson.
Coach Bill McDonald has turned to fullback Rich
Holmes and tailback Bob Glaser to carry the Scots'
running game while wide receivers Howard Hackley,
Paul Snell and Wes Bain are busy hauling down
Basile's tosses.
Defensively, the Clansmen will count on line­
backers Jim McClure and Mike Schnirel, along with
the front five of Jan Gefert (6-1,205), Rich Radzavich
(6-4, 255), Ron Gooden (6-4, 250), Jeff Shaw (6-2,
220) and John Bayer (6-2, 215).
Destined for a busy afternoon in Scot secondary
is the Edinboro quartet of George Miller, Dave Seigh,
Dan Smith and Jim Terry. All four own a interception on
the year with Seigh picking off a pair to lead the corps.
Giving them the most problems should be wingback Jerome Conlon who has grabbed 25 of Bower's
passes for 222 yards. The speedy Conlon, likewise,
spearheads the Eagles' ground game where he has
collected 106 yards rushing.

EDINBORO STATE COLLEGE

•

•

•

From its beginning as a private academy in 1856,
Edinboro State College has surged to the forefront as
one of the leading educational institutions 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 com­
munity serves as a resort center during the summer
while numerous nearby ski slopes offer a variety of
recreation in the picturesque 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.
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.
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 pro­
grams which will afford maximum opportunities to its
potential students and to meet the educational needs
of its region from a professional and a cultural stand­
point.

. PREPARING FOR TOMORROW

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 and special education
to medical technology.
Student activities are designed to develop the
personality, poise, self-confidence and professional
awareness that will fit graduates for significant par­
ticipation in American society.
The College stresses friendly relations among
students and faculty, as well as active student par­
ticipation in decisions affecting them. Quality education
has been an Edinboro tradition for more than a century
as graduates 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
has undergone innovations and reorganization that have
enabled the College to keep in step with the times and
maintain its academic excellence.
Edinboro State College is at the brink of a new era
and has taken the initiative for a new direction among
the state colleges of Pennsylvania. The College plans to
offer programs in such diverse fields as international
education, business administration and engineering to
meet its leadership responsibilities in the years ahead.
Keeping pace with the College's academic progress
has been a building program which has dramatically
changed the physical appearance of the campus over
the past decade. Included among the additions are a
nine-acre lake, an athletic complex, dormitory quadrant
and new student services facilities such as a student
union, dining hall and health center. Scheduled for
completion in the near future are a new library and
administration building.

Disciplined Athletes Gear for Classroom
Pat Donovan, Stanford
Senior, Mechanical Engineering

“Participation on a full scale level
in both athletics and academics at a
school like Stanford presents time­
budgeting problems that are not al­
ways easy to solve. After practice
and a film study in the early eve­
ning, it’s tough to settle down to
the books and for­
get the thing that
has been foremost
in your mind all
afternoon. I doubt
that any college
athlete can make
that
transition
without a real
conscious effort; and, for me, it takes
a concerted effort with emphasis on
the detailed scheduling of my time.
The average student has at least two
or three hours a day to waste and
still has plenty of time to study. But,
an athlete spends that time on the
field, meaning that his ‘off-field’ time
has to be allotted to each subject spe­
cifically if he is to get the work done.
I’ve found that once I’m aware of
what has to be done and how little
time there is to do it, I have a lot less
trouble convincing myself that I
should study.”

Don Gaffney, Florida
Junior, Business Administration

“It is a matter of setting priorities.
Getting a college degree and playing
football and contributing to a top
football program have been my two
main goals for as long as I can re­
member. So, I budget my time to
make certain the maximum effort is
being put forth to achieve these
goals. It helps me stay motivated
when I think about the opportunities

have such an op­
portunity.”

Doug English, Texas at Austin
Senior, Business

“In an athlete’s preparation for
college football, I think that work
and study are obvious needs. The
problem of study, as well as football
preparation, is in self-motivation. In
the case of getting ready for football
itself, the need is to be motivated to
work hard in the summer, so you
will be ready when two-a-days come
around. Then you must keep a cer­

tain perseverance of mind in mid­
season when it gets hard to keep
your concentration on the game to
come. In the field of academics, the
temptation is to just have fun at col­
lege, never get a degree, and waste
the four-year opportunity you have
been given.
“In athletics I drew my main moti­
vation from the fact that I have an
obligation to fellow players and
‘would-be’ players who would be
willing to work untold hours to start
for a great school like Texas. I owe
it to these people, and I owe it to
myself, not to be content at any pla­
teau I might reach, but to constantly
work for the next one.
“I have newly
founded motiva­
tion, however, for
academics. It is
from the thousands of guys
across America
who were slighted
by the recent cut­
back in scholarships. This, to me, is
the result of a selfish motive which
I think overlooks the thing that
makes college football really great.
This ‘thing’ in my opinion, is free
education for thousands of young
athletes.
“As I prepare myself athletically
and academically, I can be best moti­
vated by remembering the guys who
wish they had my opportunity.”

Pete Demmerle, Notre Dame
Senior, English and Language

“The pageantry and glamour of col­
lege football today, so often alluded
to by announcers in their pre-game
build-ups, is scarcely definitive. The
running starts before the opening
kick-off, the pain before the first
contact, the frustration before the
first loss, the ecstasy before the final
victory.
“College football today does de­
mand discipline from its participants.
Whether summer preparation begins
in the humidity of the Northeast or
in the blistering heat of the South­
west, it begins in June—alone. And
it continues throughout the summer
and is accented when the student re­
turns to school to
pit his willingness
to sacrifice against
that of his team­
mates for an envi­
able first-team po­
sition. Yet as sat­
isfying as playing
becomes, it can­
not become the overriding reason for
a student-athlete’s existence.
“The NCAA no longer overlooks
or condones the slighting of scholas­

7

tics, but now stresses equal academic
and athletic achievement—and right­
fully so because increased media ex­
posure has demolished the athlete’s
private shelter. He is scrutinized both
on and off the field and -is evaluated
in both dimensions.
“Consequently, each player must
come to realize that academics as­
sumes equal importance with partic­
ipation. One without the other be­
comes impossible. I am more than
grateful for my experience at Notre
Dame—from embarrassment in the
Orange Bowl to the capturing of the
1973 National Championship. The
winning, the losing, the education
and the discipline can be nothing
but beneficial.”

Randy Rhino, Georgia Tech
Senior, General Management

“My philosophy on discipline is
that there is a time and place for
everything. I try to discipline myself
physically, men­
tally and morally
on and off the
playing field. I am
at Georgia Tech
for two reasons:
to graduate with a
degree and to play
football. I want to
perform the best that I can towards
both objectives. I believe if you shoot
your best stick every time and try
to do things right, you will finish on
top more times than not. I know that
I will not be playing football all
my life. My degree from Georgia
Tech will open many doors in the
future. There is a time and place for
study, for football and for fun in
college. Training yourself to partici­
pate in all three without ever over­
indulging in any one is the key to
successful discipline, I think.”

Ritch Bahe, Nebraska
Senior, Accounting

“I have never
really established
any regimentation
for disciplining
myself to meet the
demands of inter­
collegiate athletics
and academics.
However, I have
tried to avoid getting behind in any
of my studies. I make it a point to go
to class and keep up on daily assign­
ments. It’s important to get things in
on time. I guess my formula for
academics and athletics is to stay on
top of the situation, keep up in class
and not resort to cramming because
I’ve fallen behind.”

McDonald Leads Scots to Gridiron Respect
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
with a 40 points-per-game average.
The Wall, 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.
The Fighting Scots' grid pilot served as an assistant
coach at Braddock High School through two unde­
feated seasons and also at Latrobe High.
McDonald holds both a B.S. degree in education
and a M.Ed. from the Univ. of Cincinnati where he
played linebacker under Sid Gillman and his assistant
coach Paul Dietzel. This team was the original "Chinese
Bandits," a defensive unit which later became famous
at Louisiana State University. Gillman was head coach
of the San Diego Chargers for 12 years and became
general manager for the Houston Oilers after the
1972 season.
After graduation from Cincinnati in 1952, the
Scots' mentor continued his education in post graduate
work at Penn State, Pitt and Indiana (Pa.) Universities.

Bill McDonald carries an impressive 29-15-3
record into the 1974 season after five years of
leading the Fighting Scots' gridiron program. Under his
direction, ESC gridders posted identical 9-1 slates in
both 1970 and 1971 while piling up a winning streak of
21 straight regular season games. His 29-15-3 mark
puts him at the top of the winning percentage list among
Edinboro State football coaches with a 68 per cent
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
1971 team followed up with an undefeated regular
season (9-0) and a second straight PC Western
Division title. Over 55 individual and team records have
been established during his first four years at the reigns.

Upon completion of 1970's successful venture,
numerous post-season laurels were bestowed upon the
Scot's 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.

JIM ROMANISZYN BUYS

ONCE A SCOT NOW A BROWN: Past Scot great Jim Romaniszyn
begins his second year as a Cleveland Browns' linebacker.

ROMANISZYN . . . <^KING OF THE ROAD”
In Cleveland, Ohio he's known as "King of the Road," his
friends call him "Klondike," while back at Edinboro State and the
Titusville area he's known as Jim Romaniszyn.
Fighting Scot fans are quick to remember the adventuresome
Romaniszyn and his dazzling gridiron performances which resulted in
nine Edinboro State football records. Now the past Scot great has
turned his talents to the defensive side of the ledger as a linebacker
for the Cleveland Browns.
The Ohio-based NFL team feels that Romaniszyn was one of the
most pleasant surprises to come out of the Browns' 1973 draft as he
came on strong to help the linebacking situation and played an
important factor on specialty teams.
"He's quick, smart and a good hitter," says Nick Skorich. "We
definitely feel he's a player with a future in pro football."
Cleveland sports writers have tagged him the Browns' "foremost
free spirit" and continually feature his past adventures.
Before turning pro, he had done such things as motorcycling to
Alaska for a summer job and hitchhiking back by way of New
Mexico and Florida.
"Romaniszyn's latest adventures the last seven months," says
Cleveland Press writer Bill Scholl, "included skiing, becoming an
instant bartender, traveling to the West Coast by truck with side
trips on a trail bike he took along, and fishing in eastern Canada.
"I took a lot of side trips on the trail bike and kept in shape by
stopping off at colleges along the way to keep up on my weightlifting
program," said Romaniszyn. He also kept a set of dumbbells in the
truck for extra exercise.
Romaniszyn can play either middle or outside linebacker for
the Browns and hopes to get a starting shot this season.

Scots Boast Talented Starters, But Lack Depth
Edinboro Coach Bill McDonald must feel like a
Hollywood film director when he checks his company of
1974 Fighting Scot gridders. Plenty of talented stars
are on hand for the leading roles, but the supporting
cast is lined with unknown performers.

(6-314, 210, so.) and Ron Nietupski (6-0, 192, jr ).
Veterans Rod Jones (6-2, 185, jr.) and Paul Snell give
the Scots additional threats in the receiving ranks.
Top faces along the offensive line are juniors
Andre Wachenheimer (6-2, 225, G), Rick Vornadore
(6-2, 219, T), and sophomores Doug Goodman (6-1,
205, C) and Lou Provenzano (6-0, 220, G).

Although the ESC mentor has 26 lettermen
returning, McDonald is not anxious to tackle the Scots'
challenging nine-game schedule.

Co-captains Jim McClure (6-0, 220, sr.) and John
Bayer (6-2, 215, sr.) lead a Scots' defensive unit that
lost only four starters. McClure operates at linebacker,
while Bayer holds down the left defensive end slot.

"We're still a young team and we don't have
enough athletes on hand to solve our depth problem,"
summarized the Scot pilot who enters his sixth season.
"We should, of course, be better, but so will everybody
else in our conference," McDonald continued.

Complementing Bayer at the other terminal position
is junior Jim Barto (6-2, 195) with Don DIugos (6-3,
240, jr.) and Jeff Shaw (6-2, 220, so.) manning the
inside tackles.
Battling the two interior linemen for a starting
role is 6-4, 255-pound transfer. Rich Radzavich, who
could move into one of the tackle posts. Also in tap
up front is end Jan Gefert (6-1, 205, jr.).
Although two starters are gone from the secondary,
both Dave Seigh (5-11, 185, jr.) and George Miller
(5-11, 170, so.) should provide leadership to a crop of
talented newcomers that could prove to be just as
capable as the missing vets. Two of the top faces here
are Jim Terry (6-0, 183, so.), who logged enough
varsity time as a frosh last year to garner an ESC letter,
and junior Dan Smith.
Adding strength to the second line of defense is
senior Mike Schnirel (6-0, 200), the second leading
tackier on the squad with 92 stops to his credit.
McClure led the list as he piled up 104 hits through
the campaign.
A major cure could be in the offing with the
addition of linebacker Kevin Erickson, (6-1, 210, so)
and freshman middle guard Ron Gooden, (6-4, 250).

A glance at the Edinboro roster supports Coach
McDonald's concern. Only four seniors can be found
on the list which includes 13 junior letter winners and
10 players who earned varsity awards as freshmen
last year.
Most of the top returnees bolster the Scots'
offensive alignment. Edinboro's entire backfield returns
intact paced by passing leader Jude Basile. Basile
pitched for a record 838 yards and seven scoring
strikes last year to augment the Scots' traditionally
ground-oriented attack.
Junior tailback Melvin Morrisette is expected to
provide the speed in the ESC backfield along with
sophomore jet Bob Glaser. Morrisette piled up 484
yards last fall and tallied five TD's to lead the team in
both rushing and scoring. The shifty-footed Glaser
totaled 322 yards to finish second best among the
ground gainers and sported the highest per carry
average (4.9).
Awaiting Basile's aerials is Edinboro's most talented
group of receivers ever in split ends Howard Hackley
and Wes Bain, as well as tight ends Steve Larson

Tuning Up with the "Band of Scots”

STEELERS-BENGALS TO BE TREATED

screened prior to the selection. The Scots will present
their rendition of "A Fiesta South of the Border" for
halftime entertainment.
In addition to the appearance at the Steeler game,
the Scot band will perform at home and away ESC
football games this season. On September 14 the
Edinboro State Band will host its annual Band Day
Contest when numerous high school bands will be
vying for honors.
The featured twirler for the "Marching Scots" is
Pittsburgh's Karianne Baklarz. A junior at ESC, Karianne
has won numerous twirling titles. Featured on the list
are Miss Tri-State Majorette, Miss World Fancy Strut
Champion, Miss Great Lakes Solo Champion, Miss St.
Lawrence Seaways and Miss Western Pennsylvania
Majorette Queen.

Tuning up for the 1974 season along with
Edinboro State's gridders is the "Marching Scots Band."
Under the direction of Richard Lemke and Lester Monts,
the Edinboro State band will have one of their busiest
schedules in Edinboro's band history.
The "Marching Scots Band" includes 181
members among which are 150 instrumentalists, 20
Tam O'Shanters, 8 majorettes and 3 bagpipers.
Topping the list of scheduled performances is a
stop in Three Rivers Stadium on December 14 where
the "Marching Scots" will provide the pre-game and
halftime entertainment for the Pittsburgh Steelers—
Cincinnati Bengals game. The invitation is quite an
honor since the applications of over 300 bands were

All-Americans Lead EISC’s Greatest Year

JOHN WALKER
Sr., Rochester, N.Y.

SCOTS’ SHATTER VICTORY RECORD
WIN 3 OUT OF EVERY 4 CONTESTS . . .

Hank Mariotti's netmen just missed an unblemished
mark with a 10-1 ledger and kept championship form
by winning their first ever Pennsylvania Conference
crown.
Coach Jim McDonald's divot-diggers fired their
way to Edinboro's best golf record in history when
they went through the spring with a 16-3 card to
register an impressive .842 percentage.

Not even the nation's fast rising inflationary forces
can seem to keep pace with Edinboro State's rapidly
rising winning percentage mark in athletics. Fighting
Scot athletes in twelve varsity sports shattered the
school's winning percentage mark for the fifth straight
year as they produced 112 wins against only 34 losses
and 4 ties to claim a recordbreaking .752 percentage
for the 1973-74 year.

Hitting an even .800 mark were Vern Vogel's
keglers who bowled their way to a 12-3-1 finish.

While Edinboro State athletes were winning 3 out
of every 4 intercollegiate contests in which they
competed, they also set an ESC record for the most
wins in a single season with their 112 successes.

With the top five Scot varsity sports hitting at an
.800 or better clip, another quintet of ESC varsity
teams continued the hot pace with .700 or better
season records. Included in the group were Gus
Miller's judo squad, 7-2-0 (.778); Jim McDonald's
cagers, 18-6-0 (.750); Coach Ed Erdos' swimmers,
9-3-0 (.750); John Furcron's soccer team, 8-3-1
(.727); and Fred Caro's grapplers, 10-4-1 (.714).

Highlighting the assault with perfect season cards
were Coach Doug Watts' cross country and track
teams. Watts' distance men completed their season
unbeaten, 10-0, while running to a third place national
finish and claiming both the Pennsylvania Conference
and the NAIA District championships enroute to their
best finish ever. His tracksters went throt/gh their dual
meet schedule unscathed at 5-0 and, likewise, annexed
the Pennsylvania Conference and District crowns.

The soccer team's first ever District championship
headlined the laurels reaped by the five different
sports while the basketball team garnered additional
honors with its runner-up spot in the District finals.

Wave at the Folks, Catch the Ball, Run
by TOM McEWEN, Tampa Tribune Sports Editor
President, Football Writers of America
This year the receiver of a punt in
college football may shade his eyes
from the sun, or scratch his neck,
catch the oncoming ball, and then
run with it.
Last year he couldn’t. In fact, if
he shaded his eyes, or scratched his
neck, or both, caught the ball, and
ran with it, the ball wasn’t just re­
turned to the spot of his reception.
It was returned there, and then the
receiver and his team were penalized
for his illegal fair catch.

William Webb Ellis, playing for Old
Bigside Prep School in Rugby, Eng­
land, violated the rules of rugby
when after signalling for a fair
catch, instead of legally kicking it
back, he ran with it! It wasn’t just
a rule violation and very unsports­
manlike deed, it was an act that sug­
gested the modern game of football.
On Nov. 23, 1876, the first rules
committee met at the Messasoit
House in Springfield, Mass. Sixtyone rules were passed at that first
conference. Rule No. 28 read: A Fair

Rule was that a Fair Catch Signal
meant waving the upraised hand, and
arm, back and forth above the head.
Any other act with the hand and arm
above the receiver’s waist wasn’t just
a no Fair Catch signal, it was an
illegal, invalid Fair Catch signal,
punishable in yards.

Catch is a catch made direct from a
kick or a throw forward, or a knock
on by one of the opposite side, or
from a punt-out or a punt-on, pro­
vided the catcher makes a mark with
his heel, at the spot where he made
the catch and no other of his side
touch the ball.

Last January, John Waldorf’s
NCAA Football Rules Committee
figured it was unjust to prevent the
shading of eyes (some safetymen re­
sorted to visors), and made a change
in College Football Rule 2, Section 7,
titled “Fair Catch.” The hand (not
arm) must still be waved above the
head and clearly, but a receiver with
a sudden itch above the waist may
scratch it, or he may shade his eyes,
catch the ball and hot-foot it towards
the enemy goal. Specifically, the in­
terpretation now is:

Yes, the early signal for faircatching was heel-marking. Later,
he’d have to raise his hand, and heelmark.
Why not eliminate the rule com­
pletely and have no Fair Catch?
Well, that was tried too. It hap­
pened in 1954. It lasted one year
when cries of outrage arose at the
abuse safety men were taking. The
step-child rule went back on the
books in 1955.
Some of the previous changes:
Oct. 14, 1884—First penalty was
put in for interference with a Fair
Catch.
May 10, 1890 — If a fair catcher
after making his mark be deliber­
ately thrown to the ground, he shall
be given five yards unless this would
carry the ball across the goal line,
in which case one-half of the remain­
ing difference shall be given.

A valid fair catch signal or any
other waving signal deprives the re­
ceiver of the opportunity to advance
the hall and the hall is declared dead
at the spot of the catch. If the re­
ceiver shades his eyes, or makes any
signal other than a waving signal and
catches the ball, the ball is live and
may be advanced.

Why Get Excited?
Why all this attention to what ap­
pears to be a yawner of a rule
change?
Because that change represented
the 65th alteration in the “Fair
Catch” Rule in the 99 years there
have been college football rules of
any kind. No other single part of the
game, a part so seemingly insignifi­
cant, has required so much attention,
if it can be called insignificant be­
cause the truth is that just maybe
football as we know it probably was
born out of a violation of the Fair
Catch rule.

It was 150 years ago when one

above his head and does not take
more than two steps after catching
the ball.

Alfonse and Gaston
March, 1907—Opportunity to make
a Fair Catch is where the player is
in such a position it would be pos­
sible for him to reach the ball before
it touches the ground ... In case a
signal is made for a Fair Catch by
any player who has the opportunity
for a fair catch and another player
of his side who had not signalled for
a Fair Catch, catches the ball, no
run shall be made, nor shall a Fair
Catch be allowed.
And so it went, even to last Janu­
ary, when the committee, essentially,
made these five changes: (1) Waving
the hand (not arm) above the head
from side to side more than once is
a legal Fair Catch signal; (2) There
will no longer be a penalty for an
Invalid Fair Catch signal; (3) A play­
er may shade his eyes, catch the ball,
and run with it; (4) Any fair catch
signal behind the line of scrimmage
is ignored; (5) On a Fair Catch, only
the player who has given a Fair
Catch signal is given Fair Catch pro­
tection.
It seems clear that the only thing
certain about the Fair Catch Rule is
that it will be changed again, and
again, and again.
And while we’re on the subject.
I’d like to suggest one alteration.
The name—Fair Catch—is mis­
leading.
Ought to be Free Catch.

May 8, 1894—A Fair Catch is a
catch made direct from a kick by
one of the opponents, or a punt-out
by one of the same side, provided the
man intending to make the catch
indicates that intention by holding
up his hand when rimning for the
ball and also makes mark with his
heel upon catching it.
March 31, 1895—The player mak­
ing a Fair Catch need not signal with
his hand, but must mark with his
heel. If he makes no mark, he may
run with the ball.
Jan. 12, 1906—A Fair Catch con­
sists in catching the ball, provided
the player while advancing towards
the ball signals his intention of mak­
ing a Fair Catch, by raising his hand

Goalie Mike Radakovich anchors ESC defense

Returning from a sabbatical leave and finding nine
of eleven starters missing via the diploma route
certainly doesn't paint a very bright picture for a
returning coach. Nonetheless, Edinboro State soccer
mentor George Shimpeno is not one to bear on the
gloomy side of what appear seemingly impossible
situations.
"There's no doubt that we lost a lot of important
people," reflects Shimpeno, "but we have the found­
ation for a very competitive team."
Shimpeno will have to build his squad around a
pair of seniors in Mike Radakovich and Mike Zafirovski.
The pair proved to be standout performers as the Scots
posted their best ever soccer season last year with an
8-3-1 record and brought home the school's first
NAIA District 18 soccer championship.
Radakovich piled up a record 131 saves to be
listed as the second leading shot-blocker in the Western
Division of the Pennsylvania Conference. Zafirovski
provided the offensive punch as he followed the Scots'
Jim Kirk in the scoring department with nine goals.
Both received post season honors in the Western
Pennsylvania Intercollegiate Soccer Conference.
"Of course, we'll have to build our defense around
Radakovich," says Shimpeno, "and we can put two
fairly experience people in front of him in Doug Boyer
and Mike Pandurevic." Boyer was a consistent fresh­
man performer at left fullback, while Pandurevic helped
out at center fullback.
After a year's absence from the sport. Gene Valicenti
returns to add depth to the defense and support to the
scoring. His experience from summer competition, along
with that of Francis Bonk, could prove to be just what
Shimpeno needs in the way of veteran players.
Also adding defensive strength as a returnee is
sophomore left winger Jack Swope who proved to be a

smooth performer throughout his frosh campaign.
However, the key to the entire season will be the play
of a crop of talented freshmen who will fill starting
varsity positions.
Shimpeno is depending heavily on Amilcar Flores
and Roberto Serrano, a pair of promising newcomers
from Honduras, along with Ron Skalski. Both Flores
and Serrano will have to provide scoring punch and
help with the ball handling, while Skalski, an AllWPIAL selection, should help fill some of the holes
in the defense.
"Overall, we're not too concerned about the
defense," claims Shimpeno, "our problem will be one
of adjustment with new people playing together and
trying to score goals."
Also staring Shimpeno's youngsters in the face is
a rugged schedule which pits the Scots against such
Conference standouts as Lock Haven and Slippery
Rock, along with the University of Pittsburgh.
