The Kutz­
town secondary is
anchored by cornerbacks Shawn Jones
(12 tackles, 3 passes
broken up) and Brett
Cooper (16 stops, 2
interceptions).
In
three
games, the Bear
defense is surrender­
ing 189.3 yards per
game on the ground
and 186.0 ypg by way
of the air.
Calling the
signals for the Bears
will be quarterbacks
Fred Seifert and Andy
Breault. Seifert has
completed 53 of 90
All-American RB Elbert Cole
passes for 494 yards,
2 TDs and 4 interceptions this season, while Breault has con­
nected on 14 of 26 for 126 yards and a pair of scores.
The quarterbacks' main receivers include tight end
Dave Cullen and running backs Mark Steinmeyer and Joe
Svede. Cullen has latched on to 17 passes for 144 yards and 1
touchdown while the running back duo of Steinmeyer and
Svede have combined for 35 catches for 298 yards and 2
scores.
Steinmeyer (40 carries, 143 yards, 2 TDs) and Svede
(49, 191) also anchor the Bear running attack. The Kutztown
offense averages 90 yards per game rushing and 206 ypg in
the air.
Leading the Edinboro defense is All-American free
safety Michael Willis and linebackers John Williams, Michael
Wayne and A1 Donahue. Willis leads the squad with 26 tack­
les and the trio of linebackers follows with 25,24 and 20 tack­
les respectively. Williams leads the squad with two
interceptions.
Up front the Scots have been very solid, led by tack­
les Matt Miller and Chip Conrad and ends Jeff Jacobs and
Brian Keaton.
Miller has totaled 16 stops on the year and leads the
team with four tackles for loss and three quarterback sacks.
Conrad, continuing to get the double-team block, has been
credited with six stops on the year, including a pair of sacks
against lUP.
Jacobs (14 tackles, 1 sack) and Keaton (11 stops, 1
sack) continue to anchor the end spots.
Joining Willis in the Scot final line of defense will be
strong safety Mark Anderson (18 stops, 1 for loss) and comerbacks Wade Smith (17 stops, 1 INT) and Georj Lewis (10
tackles, 2 breakups).
The Scot kicking chores will once again be handled
by locals Darren Weber (McDowell High School) and Bill
Burford (Harborcreek). Weber has connected on 10 of 12
extra points on the year while Burford has averaged 35.4
yards per punt on 13 kicks.
Next up for the Scots will be a trip to Clarion on
October 7 followed by a return home to battle Lock Haven on
the 14th.

In Edinboro’s first big test of 1989, the Fighting
Scots passed with flying colors.
But it doesn’t get any easier in the rugged Pennsylva­
nia State Athletic Conference as the Scots face another tough
challenge from Kutztown University. Kickoff is set for 2:00 in
the Homecoming contest sponsored by Walker Brothers
Buick-Chevrolet.
The Scots are set to battle nemesis Kutztown with
last year's 34-22 loss fresh in their memories.
"My concern this week is keeping this team 'locked
in' mentally," said head coach Tom Hollman. "Our season is
far from over, but the win over lUP puts us in the driver's
The Bears (1-2 overall and 1-0 in the PS AC East)
lost six straight to end the '88 season and opened '89 with con­
secutive losses to Lafayette (44-14) and Shippensburg (18-7)
before a 24-20 win over Bloomsburg last week.
The Scots, 2-1 (1-0 PSAC West), enter the non-divisional matchup coming off one of the biggest wins in Edinboro football history. They opened '89 with a 51-27 loss at
Liberty before rebounding for consecutive wins over two
Division II powers in New Haven (46-13) and lUP (37-0).
Once again, the Scots will look for offensive leader­
ship from their potent one-two punch of tailback Elbert Cole
and quarterback Hal Galupi.
Cole, a returning Associated Press All-American was
named PSAC West "Player of the Week" for his efforts against
lUP (136 yards and 3 touchdowns). On the year, he has gained
392 yards on 63 attempts (6.2 yards per carry) and six touch­
downs. He is also the teams' leading receiver with 12 catches
for 76 yards.
For his career. Cole has rushed for 2,226 yards on
467 carries and 24 touchdowns in 31 games to date. He has
also caught 73 passes for 729 markers and 5 scores. Combined
with his career mark of 130 yards returning punts, the
Rochester, New York, native has accumulated 3,085 all-pur­
pose yards for the Plaid.
For the year, Galupi has completed 34 of 67 passes
for 448 yards with 4 touchdowns and 4 interceptions. The
junior quarterback totals 158.7 yards per game total offense.
Joining Galupi and Cole in the Scot backfield will
likely be the fullback tandem of Matt Koehle (11 carries, 38
yards) and Steve Clare (17,42,1 TD).
Galupi's main receiving weapon continues to be wide
out Ernest Priester. The Scot junior has caught 10 passes for
240 yards and 4 scores.
Wrentie Martin (4 catches, 42 yards) and tight end
Randy Mcllwain (2,22) round out the receivers for Edinboro.
Clearing the way up front will be center Dave
Pinkerton, guards Joe Brooks and John Dickman and tackles
Ron Hainsey and Wally Spisak. The five have fueled the Scot
offense to an average of 395 yards per game with 241 ypg
coming on the ground and 154 trough the air.
Leading the Bears will be linebackers Nick Pergine
and Tim Clancy. Pergine leads Kutztown with 51 tackles in
'89, including six for loss. He turned in a giant effort against
Bloomsburg last week, with 21 tackles in their four point win.
Clancy is not far behind in total stops, credited with 42 tackles
in the Bears' first three games.
Up front defensively, the Bears are led by tackles
Scott Agnew (15 tackles, 3 sacks) and Angelo Marrello (17
stops) and end Peter Merkel. Merkel has contributed 18 tack­
les and recovered two fumbles.

WJETTVlg)

After 125 years of service to the tri-state area,
Edinboro experienced its most significant change in history on
July 1, 1983, when the College became Edinboro University
of Pennsylvania. Founded as a private academy in 1857,
Edinboro University has continued its surge to the forefront as
one of the leading educational institutions in western
Pennsylvania. Situated on a sprawling 585-acre campus in the
scenic resort community of Edinboro, the University is within
100 miles of the educational and cultural centers of Buffalo,
Cleveland, and Pittsburgh. It is just 15 miles south of Erie, the
third largest city in Pennsylvania, and easily accessible from
all directions by interstates 79,80 and 90.

Edinboro now makes contributions in the fields of education,
government, environmental improvement, urban and rural
problems, crime prevention, and service to business and
industry. Recent program developments include those in the
high-demand areas of allied health, business administration,
communication, computer technology, nursing, and various
pre-professional offerings such as law, dentistry, medicine,
pharmacy and veterinary science. Numerous student intern­
ships provide additional examples of the University's efforts to
create a close working relationship with the people it serves
while, at the same time, offering students intellectual and
career opportunities.

Edinboro has the distinction of being the second nor­
mal school established in Pennsylvania and the 12th in the
United States. It has grown to more than forty buildings
including the 400,000 volume Baron-Fomess Library, a mod­
em seven-story stmcture which serves as a focal point for the
spacious campus. More than 7,500 students representing
almost every county in the Commonwealth, as well as numer­
ous states and foreign countries attend Edinboro. Its tradition
of educational service and research is matched by a distin­
guished faculty, more than two-thirds of whom have earned
doctoral degrees.

Edinboro has initiated the University Honors
Program to provide challenging and enriched learning experi­
ences for academically gifted students. Undergraduate stu­
dents are encouraged to strive for academic excellence both in
their major fields and in other disciplines. Honors students
pursue studies that are greater in depth and scope than those
required of other undergraduates.

The University now offers more than 100 undergrad­
uate, graduate, and associate degree programs, a diversity
unmatched by any other college or university in northwestern
Pennsylvania. While seeking to meet the educational needs of
its region from both a professional and cultural standpoint.

Students are admitted to the University in September
or January and are considered for admission on the basis of
their general scholarship, nature of secondary program, and
SAT or ACT scores.

Although the costs for attending Edinboro rank
among the lowest in the Commonwealth, over $14,000,000 in
financial aid is available annually to eligible students.

lence in academics, sports,
and special programs, and
proud to support the 1989
football season.

Go Fighting Scots!

Since his appointment as president of Edinboro
University of Pennsylvania on August 1, 1979, Foster F.
Diebold has initiated a wide variety of policies and programs
designed to complement his desire for an increased level of
excellence and quality in higher education.

Colleges and Universities' Committee on Governance,
President Diebold has emerged as a national and international
figure in the world of higher education. His special fields of
interest are ethics in education and intemationd programs. As
chairman of the National Committee on Governance, he pre­
sented a statement of ethics to the American Association of
State Colleges and Universities in November 1988. The state­
ment, "Ethical Practices for College Presidents," was unani­
mously adopted at the annual meeting of AASCU and has
been published and circulated as a policy statement by that
organization. It should be noted that this code of ethics is the
first ever to be officially adopted by a professional organiza­
tion and directed to the performance of college and university
presidents.

Noted for his extensive experience in the field of
education management. President Diebold previously served
as president of the University of Alaska Statewide System.
His principal fields of professional interest include ethical
issues in higher education, higher education management,
budget development and fiscal control, legislative affairs, per­
sonnel management and collective bargaining, and interna­
tional education.
A native of Orange, New Jersey, President Diebold
served as president of the University of Alaska from 1977 to
1979. Prior to that, he was executive secretary to the Board of
Regents and special assistant to the president of the University
of Alaska Statewide System. From 1969 to 1976, he was
director of the Division of College Development and Planning
at Kean College in New Jersey; and from 1965 to 1969, he
was assistant superintendent of the Neptune Township Public
Schools in New Jersey.

President Diebold also serves as chairperson of the
Advancement Committee of the Chancellor's Executive
Council (State System of Higher Education). He is a member
of the Western Pennsylvania Education Council and the
International Association of University Presidents.
Active in the community, the President, among other
activities, serves on the Board of Directors of the United Way
of Erie County, the Board of Corporators of the St. Vincent
Foundation for Health and Human Services, and the Advisory
Board of the McMannis Educational Trust Fund. President
Diebold is also a member of the Hamot Medical Center Board
of Corporators, the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Corporation
Scholarship Review Committee, and the Marine Bank
Advisory Board.

A graduate of Monmouth College, President Diebold
holds a bachelor of science in education and a master of arts in
educational administration from Seton Hall University. He has
met course requirements for his doctorate in education at
Rutgers University and is currently enrolled in the Ph.D. pro­
gram in higher education at the University of Pittsburgh.

President Diebold resides in Edinboro with his wife,
Patricia, and daughters, Jessica and Stacey.

BROS—

McDonald has been at Edinboro since 1962 and for
12 years served as the Fighting Scot basketball coach (19621975) and never experienced a losing season while his teams
compiled an impressive 181 wins against only 89 losses.
During that span, his cagers won four Western Division
Pennsylvania Conference crowns, the PC state championship
and two District 18 titles that netted trips to the NAIA
National Tournament His teams set 27 University records and
made 19 post-season appearances while four of his players
were named All-Americans.

CHEVROLET

Prior to accepting his position at Edinboro,
McDonald served as assistant basketball coach in Erie, Pa. He
is a 1956 paduate of Bridgeport High School in his home
town of Bridgeport, West Virginia.

Thank you, Bdinboro University
Walker Bros. Buick-Chevrolet has been in the automobile business in Edinboro since 1916 making us
one of the oldest dealers in the country. However, we are mere youngsters compared to Edinboro University.
Thru the decades our families have watched the school grow and mature into today's University. Not by acci­
dent, we have seen the town of Edinboro grow and mature at the same time, with much of that growth being
former Edinboro students who stayed and made homes here after graduating. For this we say, "thank you,
Edinboro University."
Edinboro University offers much more to the region than a fine education at a reasonable price.
Almost daily there is either a cultural or athletic event right here in our own bacl^ard providing great enter­
tainment. Besides the entertainment, many of us use the physical facilities of the University. For this we say,
"thank you, Edinboro University."
Finally, for those of us in business in the Edinboro area the University provides a great economic ben­
efit. Loyal patronage from University employees, students and all the spinoff employment created by the Uni­
versity is what makes us able to be a major sponsor of Edinboro athletics and today's Homecoming game. For
all of this we say, "thank you, Edinboro University."

Sincerely,
Richard H. Walker

Randy J. Walker
and all of our employees

In 1960 he received a degree in chemistry and physi­
cal education from West Virginia Wesleyan College and he
also holds a master's degree in health from the University of
Buffalo.

Jim McDonald

Edinboro University's athletic program was placed
under the talented and aggressive leadership of Jim McDonald
in July of 1981. Increased emphasis on fund raising to provide
a sound scholarship foundation has become his top priority
while numerous changes and innovations have also keyed the
Scots' athletic program under his direction.

As an undergraduate, he set nine school records at
Wesleyan and was twice voted both AP and UPI basketball
All-American. In 1960, he was the second leading scorer in
the United States, averaging slightly over 33 points a game,
and led his team to the national basketball tournament in
Kansas City, Missouri. He was named to the NAIA's AllTournament Team in 1959 and 1960.

Through his efforts more than $3 million has been
raised during the past seven years. The funds generated by the
energetic athletic director's efforts will be used to assist
Edinboro's men and women athletes who compete in the Scots
fifteen intercollegiate sports.

In 1966, McDonald was selected Area Eight Coach
of the Year by the eastern seaboard coaches and that same
year was honored as one of the top ten finalists in the Coach
of the Year national poll. McDonald's honors also include
selection to the West Virginia All-Time College Basketball
Team and membership in the West Virginia Sports Hall of
Fame. He served four years on the NAIA's All-American
selection committee and was chosen by the NAIA to coach an
All-American team of NBA-bound cagers who won the Gold
Medal in Israel's Hapoel Games.

"EUP has outstanding coaches
and facilities. With these ingredients,
there is no reason we could not be
competitive in the PSAC and Division
II."

In addition to his classroom and basketball coaching
duties, McDonald was Edinboro's golf coach for 17 years dur­
ing which his teams won over 40 tournaments and finished as
high as third place at the NCAA Division II National
Tournament.

In addition to maintaining Edinboro's respected win­
ning tradition in intercollegiate athletics, the former health and
physical education professor has vastly expanded the
University's summer activities.

As a resident of Edinboro, McDonald has a record of
extensive community involvement. He was Little League
Baseball director for four years and also held a four-year post
as a member of the General McLane School Board. He and
his wife, Mary Lou, have three sons - Mark, Mike and
Matthew.

Fifty-two camps were sponsored by the Fighting
Scots Booster Club this past summer on the University's cam­
pus. Sox Harrison Stadium is the site of the Cleveland Browns

holder for yards passing (1,903) and attempts (276) in one
season, set in 1987.
Koehle and Clare return to solidify the fullback spot.
Both freshmen a year ago, the twosome combined for 395
yards and three touchdowns on 96 carries.
Running back Chris Conway will also return to give
support to Cole and the Scot offense.
The receiving corps could be the biggest question
mark for the Scots this fall. Gone are All-Conference perform­
ers John Toomer and Cleveland Pratt. Between the two, they
caught 73 passes for 1,225 and nine TDs last season. The
Plaid will be without a proven deep threat to open camp and
will be looking to a number of roster players to fill the void.
Ernest Priester, one of the squad's top performers in 1986 and
87, is expected in camp this August after missing last season.
He led the Scot receivers in receptions (35) in '86 and in
touchdowns (4) in '87.

If the Edinboro University Fighting Scot football
team can make the same strides in 1989 that they made last
season, their goal of the Pennsylvania State Athletic
Conference championship is very realistic.
The Scots came within a victory of a share of the
Western Division crown a year ago, posting a 4-1-1 slate in
the west for a third place showing. Edinboro finished one half
game behind Shippensburg and Indiana.
Their overall mark of 5-4-1 in '88 was a major
turnaround from their sub .500 season in 1987. First-year head
coach Tom Hollman became just the second coach in
Edinboro's football history to post a winning record in his ini­
tial season.
"Expectations, coaches all have high hopes at the
beginning of the season. As a team, you have to set goals,
realistic goals, and try to achieve them," Hollman stated. "We
felt we had enough talent a year ago to contend and we made
a run at it. But we did not win the championship, just came
close. Hopefully the momentum and the hunger for the title
will be back this fall."
"Sure, I was happy with the progress in my first sea­
son but we have to keep making positive strides. We return
plenty of veteran players to keep us in the proper frame of
mind."
Edinboro opens its season against a NCAA Division
I-AA opponent and concludes with one as well.
On the 9th of September the Scots will once again
travel to Lynchburg, Va., to battle Liberty University. The
Flames are under the direction of former Cleveland Brown
head coach Sam Rutigliano. The following week, the Scots
open their home slate against New Haven.
On the 23rd the Indians of lUP will enter Sox
Harrison Stadium for the PSAC West opener. It will mark the
second consecutive year that the Scots will tangle with lUP in
their divisional opener. The 30th of the month will have
Edinboro playing its third straight game on home turf, enter­
taining the Bears of Kutztown on Homecoming.
On October 7th a trip to Clarion is on tap for the
Scots followed by Lock Haven back home on the 14th.
The remaining four weeks of the regular season will
be a rugged test for Hollman's clan, as the Scots play three of
four contests on the road. A trip across Pennsylvania to
Shippensburg greets the Scots on the 21st, followed by senior
day at Sox Harrison against California on the 28th. In week
number nine the Scots conclude their Western Division slate
on the 4th at Slippery Rock before closing out their season at
Youngstown State on the 11th.
1989 will mark the first time that Edinboro has
played two Division I-AA opponents in one season.

OFFENSIVE LINE
The strength of the Scot offense could be a veteran
offensive front. All-Conference picks Ron Hainsey (OT) and
Joe Brooks (OG) return for their senior year, as does two-year
starter Dean Gallagher. Guard Brad Powell and tackle Curtis
Rose also return as does backup center Dave Pinkerton and
tight end Randy Mcllwain. The returning seven average 6-3,
245 pounds. A pair of freshmen, Jeff Zilko and Mike Kegarise
gives the team depth here.
PLACEKICKING
The Scots return All-Conference placekicker Darren
Weber. A second-team selection in '88, Weber has connected
on 14-of-29 field goals and 47-of-52 extra points in his first
two seasons with the Scots. His 52-yard field goal against lUP
as a freshman in '87 remains the second longest in PSAC his­
tory. Weber has scored a two-year total of 89 points.
DEFENSIVE LINE
The Scots return nine starters on defense including
all of the defensive front All-Conference tackle Chip Conrad
heads the returnees. He was credited with 43 tackles, includ­
ing a team high five QB sacks. Jeff Jacobs, a second-team AllPSAC pick at end, also returns coming off a season where he
registered 44 tackles.
DTs Matt Miller (50 stops, three fumble recoveries)
and Mark Jozefov (32 tackles) also return up front.
Sophomore John Messura will give the squad depth. Coach
Gene Smith is also looking for help from freshman Troy
Marin, 6-2,275 lbs., from nearby Meadville High School.

OFFENSE: SKILL POSITIONS
The offensive backfield returns All-American run­
ning back Elbert Cole, quarterbacks Hal Galupi and Jim Ross
and fullbacks Matt Koehle and Steve Clare. Cole, a two-time
All-PSAC West selection, led the Scots in rushing (909), TDs
(10) and scoring (62 pts.) a year ago. He enters the year with
1,834 career yards on 404 carries.
Galupi secured the starting quarterback spot a year
ago, and threw for 1,473 yards and ten touchdowns with a
53% completion percentage. Ross remains the school record

LINEBACKERS
A plethora of great athletes makes the linebacking
position very solid for the Scots.
Second-team All-Conference middle linebacker
Michael Wayne (99 stops, three interceptions), '87 AllConference pick A1 Donahue (83 stops, three fumble recover­
ies) and three-year starter John Williams (198 career tackles)
all return. Anthony Ross, a transfer from Central State, Ohio,
should press the three for a starting spot

All-American Michael Willis returns at free safety
for his senior season to anchor the defensive secondary. A
two-time All-PS AC selection, he led the squad with 111 tack­
les a year ago. He also led with a dozen pass break-ups and
was second on the squad with four interceptions. Willis has
been credited with 229 tackles in just 25 games during his
career at Edinboro.
Sophomore Wade Smith will also return at one cornerback spot. He led the squad with five interceptions as a
freshman and he only started eight games. Smith was also
credited with 41 tackles and 11 pass break-ups.
At the other comer, the Plaid is looking to replace
Claude Webb. Sophomore James Ferguson (6 tackles) has the
inside track going into camp with plenty of quality recmits
pushing him for the starting position. The Scots will also have
to fill a void at the strong safety spot.

HEAD COACH TOM HOLLMAN
Hollman's educational background begins with a
high school diploma from Memorial High School in St.
Mary’s, Ohio, followed by his undergraduate degree in educa­
tion from Ohio Northern University in 1968. Three years later
Hollman received his master of science degree in education
from Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio.
While at Ohio Northern, Hollman was a three-year
starter for the football team and a two-way performer as a
defensive back and offensive end during his junior and senior
years. He holds the school record with 13 career interceptions
and earned All-American and All-District honors during the
1966 and 1967 seasons. Hollman also lettered in baseball for
three years during his stay at Ohio Northern.
A chronological look at Hollman's coaching career
begins in 1968 as an assistant coach at Sidney High School in
Sidney, Ohio. From there, Hollman moved on td Greenville
High School in Ohio where he became head coach from 197173. His Greenville squads posted an impressive 26-2-2 mark
during his three-year stay.

his squad recorded 15 wins against three setbacks and two
ties. Fremont was the Buckeye Conference champs in 74,
unbeaten at 9-0-1.

In January 1988, Edinboro University hired Tom
Hollman, Athens, Ohio, as its eleventh head football coach in
the school's history. Hollman comes to Edinboro from Ohio
University, where he was the defensive coordinator for the
past three seasons.

In '76, Hollman moved on to the collegiate ranks
where he was the defensive coordinator for his alma mater at
Ohio Northern University.

"Last season was a very exciting one and we are siniply looking to improve each year," Hollman stated after his
initial term. Hollman led the Scots to a 5-4-1 mark, becoming
only the second head coach in Edinboro football history to
post a winning season his first year.
"As a staff and team we are looking forward to an
excellent season. We finished just a half game out of the divi­
sion crown last year so that should give us the extra incentive
we need in 1989."
The Scots finished 4-1-1 in the PSAC West, finishing
in third place, just one half game behind Shippensburg and
lUP. The Plaid defeated Shipp 19-10 during their ten-game
slate last year.

The following year, Hollman accepted the head
coach position at Wooster College (OH) and guided his squad
to the best four-year record in the school's history (24-11-1).
In 1981, Hollman took an assistant coaching spot
with Ball State University which he held through the '84 cam­
paign. Then, beginning in 1985 Hollman held the defensive
coordinator position at Ohio University.
Coach Hollman resides in Edinboro with his wife,
Candi, and their four children, Mari (17), Jon (14), Tim (13),
and Denise (11).

"As a coach, I have been fortunate to coach at m^y
different levels, from high school to Division I. The Division
II level here at Edinboro is very appealing to me in relation to
my career goals. It is a great feeling to be a head coach at this
level."
"I still feel one of the most important things about
football on the Division II level is to make it fun for the play­
ers involved. My initial goal for this team when I got here was
to make football an enjoyable environment for the team and
coaching staff," Hollman added.

t is said that two heads are better than
one. And at certain times during a
football game, two bodies are better
than one. Double-teaming, as the prac­
tice of using players working in tan­
dem is known, has a place in every
coach's playbook.
On offense it can enhance the line's
effectiveness in putting up a wall for pass
protection or plowing open a hole for the
run. On defense it can blanket the most
dangerous of wide receivers. In both cases
it is a not-so-simple matter of getting two
players to work together in perfect harmo­
ny against one member of the opposition.
Double-teams used on the offensive line
vary according to thfe type of play being
run. The personnel and responsibilities
involved in pass blocking are very differ­
ent from those involved in run blocking.
And there can be other variations, depend­
ing on the defensive front.
"It's not always a case of singling out
the opposing team's best defensive line­
man and double-teaming him," said Mike
Maser, offensive line coach at Boston
College. "Line play involves a lot of dif­
ferent angles and intersections, where you
try to confuse the defense as much as you
possibly can with movement and then cre­
ate the scheme within a five-man situation.
And double-teaming is usually part of the
scheme. In fact, nine times out of 10, we
won't worry about double-teaming one
certain individual—unless we feel he's a
really great player."
H
Let's start with drop-back pass protecw tion. When an offensive line comes up
against an odd (or three-man) defensive
front, the center is face mask-to-face mask

DOUBLE TROUBLE

Double-teaming is a normal part of an offensive line's blocking scheme, but is sometimes used to control a
dominating defensive player. On the other side of the ball, a double-team can shut down a dangerous receiver.

with a noseguard, while each tackle usual­
ly has an end coming his way at an ^gle.
Therefore, the moment the ball is snapped,
the noseguard is the shortest distance from
the quarterback. So in an effort to give the
quarterback the deepest possible pocket in
which he can step up and throw, Ae center
and a designated guard will double-team
the nose man.
It works like this. After the ball is
snapped, the center pops up and tries to
get square with the noseguard, establishing
a first line of stoppage. The offensive
guard who is part of the double-team acts
like a shadow. He gets behind the center
but stays off to his left or right, according
to his normal position. He shouldn't be

directly behind the center because if the
initial block is missed the defender can
simply go around both of them. By staying
off to the left or right the offensive guard
can either force the noseguard to work in
the opp>osite direction to try to avoid tan­
gling with two blockers, or move freely to
the other side should the nose man beat the
center there.
The execution doesn't always go like
clockwork.
"They can trip over each other and fall,
and the noseguard comes free," Maser
said. "Or they can attack too soon. The
worst thing you can have is a guard who
really wants a piece of the nose man—so
much that he comes down real hard.

TOUCHDOWN ILLUSTRATED

knocks the center off the block and the
guy pops out between them like a water­
melon seed when you squeeze it between
your finger tips."
When an offensive line faces an even
(or four-man) front, the center has no one
in front of him and is free to help one of
the guards block the defensive tackle lined
up across from him. Which guard he helps
depends on the direction in which the
quarterback intends to throw. The center
will usually add protection to the quarter­
back's blind side and work with the guard,
much the same way the guard works with
him in double-teaming the noseguard.
The basic idea in double-team blocking
for the run is to attack a certain area—
over center, guard or tackle. Where and
when the attacks are waged are left to the
discretion of the coach in his game-plan
preparation, although power-rushing
teams tend to do much more double-team
blocking than teams that aren't as bold
with their running game. The center can
work with either guard or vice versa, the
guards can work with the tackles on their
side or vice versa, and the tight end can
help the tackle on his side.
With every double-team in run blocking
there is a "post" man and a "drive" man
(each varies according to the offensive
lineman involved in the double-team). The
post man is lined up across from the
defensive lineman who is going to be dou­
ble-teamed. The drive man is lined up out­
side or inside the post man, with no down
lineman over him. On the snap the post
man fires out of his stance and tries to stop
the defender's charge at the line of scrim­
mage. The driye 'man then shuffles over
until his hip twches against the near hip of
the post man, so the two form a kind of
extra-wide blocker and are able to push
the defender back or away from the point
of attack.
Double-team pass coverage involves
primarily a cornerback and a safety,
although there are times when linebackers
can be included. It is a blatant attempt to
take away a specific receiver or combina­
tion of receivers from an opponent. When
it is used it is based on tendencies discov­
ered through scouting—the favorite
receiver(s) a team will throw to in a cer­
tain down-and-distance situation or, per­
haps, in a particular part of the field.
"When you've got double coverage on
a receiver, in theory he can't catch the
pass," said Jim Lambright, assistant head
coach and defensive coordinator at the
University of Washington. "You're devot­
ing two people in your coverage strictly

For nearly five decades, from 18^76 until
his death in 1925, Camp was an innovative
leader in building and directing the
American game of football. In his days as
a coach at Yale in the early 1880s, Camp
was successful in changing many rules of
the game, allowing football to take its own
path away from its English ancestor,

wrong with you?"'
When a student runs into trouble, the
advisor contacts the student's professors to
determine the nature and the extent of the
problem. Said Davidson, "Lots of profes­
sors will call us before we call them and
say, 'So-and-so made an "F" on the first
test, and he needs to see a tutor.'" The advi­
sor can then alert the coach to the problem
and schedule more tutoring and study
hours. Students are also referred to other
support personnel on campus—for coun­
seling or career planning, or for help with
study and time-management techniques.
Whether these efforts are successful
depends mainly on the student—it is ulti­
mately his or her responsibility. But a
major role is also played by tfie coach,
according to Bradley. "No academic advi­
sor can do anything with a kjd unless the
coach expects it," he said. '^If the coach
says, 'You're going to do it or you're not
playing today,' it's going to happen."
Bradley speaks highly of Kentucky
football coach Jerry Claiborne's stance on
academics. "We had a kid who was the
number one offensive lineman out of high
school. He came in for Jerry, and he
thought all he had to do was play football.
But Coach Claiborne let him go. He went
to another school, and now he's playing
pro ball," Bradley said. "He was 6-7, 232
pounds as a sophomore, but Coach
Claiborne said, 'If you don't want to go to
class and take care of yourself, you don't
belong here.' After that, the rest of the
team fell right in line. They thought, 'Hey,
if they let him go....'"
Bradley acknowledges that not all teams
work that w^y*, but he hopes that in the
future mor^ coaches will realize they are
involved. "Academics is a coach's job," he
insisted. "I guarantee that the coach tells [a
recruit's] parents that he'll do everything
he can to help the kid graduate. I think he
has a responsibility to do that."
Even so, the coach has to think about
what's best for the team or for the individu­
al as an athlete, just as every professor has
the right to expect the individual to get the
most from his or her experience in the
classroom. It's up to the advisor to try to
balance those demands—and it's a difficult
balance. Often, Bradley explained, "You're
trying to do what's best for the kid and
you're making the coach and the professor
mad. The faculty says, 'You're just trying to
keep the kid eligible,' and the coach says,
'You do everything the faculty wants.'"
Bradley said that academic eligibility is
what's best for the student. "If the kid's
ineligible, he's going to leave school, and

Every football fan knows that the score doesn't always give a good picture of a game. A few statistics, like those that can

"debates." Besides, it can be fun to second guess the official scorers whose statistics will appear in tomorrow's papers. But
before you start, here are some pointers on being a statistician:
1. Keep cumulative totals to be informed "up to the minute" and to simplify your figuring of team totals. Example: Jones
gaines 3,6,9,2 yards and you write 3. 9,18,20 on his line.
2. On plays involving penalties measured from the point of the foui, credit the rusher or pass receiver with yardage only to
the point of the infraction.
3. Charge gains and losses on fumbles to the player who, in your judgment, contributed most to the error.
4. Don't score two-point conversion attempts after touchdowns as rushing or passing plays.

rying to find a

tween academics
and athletics concerns
not only the individual
student-athlete but
university adminis­
trators, faculty and
coaches, as well. That's why the NCAA
membership passed Proposition 48 in
1983. There was widespread concern
that many college freshman athletes
were unprepared to handle the rigors of
both higher education and athletics.
Prop 48 requires that all Division I
scholarship athletes must have graduat­
ed from high school, recorded a grade
of "C" or better in 11 core classes, and
scored a minimum of 700 on the SAT or
15 on the ACT college entrance exam.
If a student is a high school graduate
but fails to meet the core-curriculum
requirement and record the minimum
SAT or ACT test score, that student
X becomes a nonqualifier and may not
practice, play or receive athletically relat­
ed financial aid during his or her first
year in college. Further, a nonqualifier
has only three years of athletic eligibility.
A student who fails to satisfy the
core-curriculum requirement and/or the
minimum test score but has a 2.0 overall
high school GPA (the equivalent of a
"C" average) is considered a partial
qualifier. He or she is eligible for athlet­
ically related financial aid, but may not
practice or play during the first college
year and has only three years of eligibil­
ity thereafter.
A student-athlete who fails to meet
the Prop 48 standards must successfully
complete 24 units (two full semesters of
course work) for sophomore eligibility,
Proposition 42, passed at the 19^
NCAA Convention and due to become
effective in 1990, modifies Prop 48 by
eliminating the category of partial qual­
ifier, thus ruling out athletically related
financial aid for such a student.

T

The bottom line of
the Prop 48 and 42 leg­
islation is to improve
the academic caliber of
student-athletes.
"We're talking about
preparation,"
said
Charles Whitcomb, a
faculty representative and chairman of
the Department of Recreation and
Leisure Studies at San Jose State
University. "Is the student ready to
accept the challenge of the university?
We're an academic institution, not just
an athletic institution."
The debate arises over whether the
end justifies the means.
Temple University basketball coach
John Chaney, a leading opponent of the
legislation, is distressed over the use of
SAT scores as a measurement of aca­
demic ability and the repeal of athletic
financial aid to partial qualifiers.
Many feel that test scores, such as
those from the SAT, are not a good mea­
surement of academic skills and are
especially unfair to minorities because
cultural differences affect language,
speaking and writing patterns.
"The importance of sports is that
it gives a youngster a vehicle," Chaney
said. "It's no different than if you're a
musician, an actor or a scholar. Any
talent a young person has, he should
be able to use as a means of getting
a degree."
Steve Sloan, University of Alabama
athletic director, supports the legisla­
tion. "We felt [42] was an added process
from Proposition 48 and it would elimi­
nate the partial qualifier," Sloan said.
"Forty-eight was set up to set minimum
requirements so universities would be
getting better student-athletes from an
academic standpoint. It was implement­
ed to send a message to high schools to
educate athletes properly and advise
them on taking proper courses."

tribute to the world of work?"
Dandre DeSandies, Ph.D., an academic
advisor at Stanford University, under­
scores that point. "We've got to educate
people for life beyond football, life
beyond tennis," said DeSandies. "The uni­
versity's responsibility is to educate. It's
not just entertainment." But the student
has a responsibility as well. "You can't pin
all your hopes on one dream," he cau­
tioned. "Academic advisors are the hedge
against that bet."
Are academic advisors improving the
odds for athletes? Although there are no
overall statistics that analyze graduation
rates during the last 10 years, on a caseby-case basis there is some reason for
optimism. At Colorado, Gregory sees defi­
nite benefit in the intensive management
program for the five to 10 percent of ath­
letes who, he said, "are blowing it." With
the help of advisors and tutors, 90 to 95
percent of these problem cases will make
it, said Gregory, although there will always
be one or two who won't. Davidson at
Clemson and Bradley at Kentucky paint
similar pictures.
On an individual level, every academic
advisor can tell stories of students they
went to bat for, or pushed a little harder,
who went on to graduate and get good
jobs. Bradley tells of an athlete with whom
he worked particularly hard. "He wore me
out," Bradley said. "But he graduated with
a degree in business and now he's a
regional sales manager for Xerox." These
successes are the payoff for advisors' end­
less hours of reasoning, cajoling, negotiat­
ing, counseling 4nd trouble-shooting.
While it,4s unreasonable to expect a
major change in the percentage of athletes
who graduate—just as there will continue
to be a large number of nonathletes who
fail to graduate—college athletes of the
future may well be better educated. Ian
Davidson feels that policy changes,
including Proposition 48, are resulting in
better-prepared student-athletes. Said
Bradley, "The general awareness has
helped. Coaches, kids and parents are
more aware of what they have to do aca­
demically. Schools are hiring people to be
on kids' backs, and it's going to get
through to them." «■*

then you don't have him to work with any­
more." And he added, "Kids stay eligible
when they're working toward a degree."
Unfortunately, academic eligibility doesn't
always guarantee that an athlete is learn­
ing, just as graduation doesn't always indi­

came off the bench in the second half to
orchestrate the Terps' stunning turnaround.
Miami coach Jimmy Johnson watched
with growing horror as Reich passed for
three touchdowns, ran for one, and handed
off to Tommy Neal for another to put
Maryland ahead, 35-34, with 5:29 left in
the game.
Maryland added a sixth unanswered
touchdown after a Miami fumble to lead
42-34, and Miami, riding a five-game win­
ning streak, appeared to be dead and
buried. To that point, the Hurricanes had
played the second half like helpless deer in
the highway, stunned by the headlights of
an oncoming semi. Then in one final, des­
perate gasp, Miami's All-America quarter­
back Bemie Kosar connected with Eddie
Brown on a five-yard scoring pass. That
made it 42-40, with 50 seconds to play.
The Hurricanes had no choice but to go
for the two-point conversion. Kosar
lobbed a screen pass to fullback Melvin
Bratton that had "tie game" written all
over it. But up jumped Maryland comerback Keeta Covington to nail Bratton at
the three. The Terrapins had their miracle.
Since that black day against Maryland,
Miami has done its best to erase that mem­
ory with some spectacular comebacks of
its own.
In October 1987, No. 3-ranked Miami
traveled to Tallahassee to face No. 4
Florida State in a game that meant as
much to the national collegiate football
picture as it did to the Sunshine State. On
paper, both teams figured to contend for
the No. 1 ranking by the end of the season.
But it was Florida State that took all the
initiative, running up a 19-3 lead and tak­
ing it deep into the third quarter. A couple
of missed chip-shot field goals and a
blown point-after by Seminole kicker
Derek Schmidt kept the game from being
a complete runaway.
Late in the third quarter, however,
Miami caught fire as Florida State began
making costly mistakes. The Hurricanes ^
converted an interception into a 49-yard o
scoring pass from sophomore Steve Walsh ^
to Melvin Bratton, the same Melvin <

perfect time for the Hurricanes to emulate
their 1987 comeback against Florida State.
Steve Walsh, poised as ever, proceeded
to pepper the Wolverine defense with 18
consecutive passes, completing 11.
More important, two of them were for
touchdowns, making the score 30-28 with
just under three minutes to play.
Miami then turned to the toe of placekicker Carlos Huerta, who had played in
only one other college game. After recov­
ering Huerta's onside kick, Miami
worked its way to the Michigan 13. With
43 seconds on the clock, Huerta's 29-yard
field goal put Miami on top, 31-30, and
allowed the Hurricanes to retain their
No. 1 ranking.

There was nothing so lofty as No. 1 at
stake when Washington State played
Stanford at The Farm in October 1984.
Both teams were 3-4 and playing for
pride, totally unsuspecting of the wild
afternoon ahead.
Through two and a half quarters
Stanford could do no wrong. Kevin Scott's
running and two blocked punts helped The
Cardinal to leads of 35-7 and 42-14. Then
all heck broke loose.
Led by running back Reuben Mayes and
quarterback Mark Rypien, WSU scored 28
points in less than eight minutes. Mayes
ran five and 39 yards for touchdowns and
Rypien threw for two touchdowns, one of
them a 53-yard scoring flare to Mayes. A

wide-eyed Stanford crowd stared at their
scoreboard, once such a comforting sight
but now clearly out of control: 42-21, 4228,42-35 and then 42-42.
The coup de grace came with 5:35 left
in the game, when Mayes scored from 22
yards out, racking up his fifth touchdown
of the day. Stanford, battered and con­
fused, scrambled back for one last drive.
But it died on the WSU six-yard line. With
eight seconds left the Cougars ate the ball
and celebrated their 49-42 resurrection.

Four years later Washington State made
the most of a rare turn in the national spot­
light to stage another unlikely comeback.
Its victim this time was definitely high- .
rent. The Bruins of UCLA had risen to the
top of the national collegiate rankings with
a 7-0 record to open the 1988 season.
They were hot on the trail of their first
championship since 1954, when they
shared thei^^nly title with Ohio State. As
ABC's colfege game of the week, UCLA
vs. WSU figured to be little more than a
showcase for the talents of Bruin quarter­
back Troy Aikman and Coach Terry
Donahue's potent offense.
So it was, through the first half, as the
Bruins ran and passed at will, building up
a 20-6 lead. UCLA made the score 27-6
on its first possession of the third quarter
after a typically efficient 71-yard drive
engineered by Aikman. The Bruins were
cruising, anxious to be home and dry. The
alumni were planning their parties.
However, they did not reckon with the
tenacity of WSU quarterback Timm
Rosenbach, who entered the game as the
top-rated college passer in the nation. On
consecutive possessions in the third quar­
ter, Rosenbach threw for touchdowns of
15 and 81 yards and tailback Rich
Swinton scored from six yards, while the
Aikman offense sputtered and gasped. As

UCLA never really recovered. They
nudged ahead on a field goal to lead 30-27
with 11:39 remaining. But the Cougars,
full of confidence, answered with a timedevouring scoring drive that featured 13
straight running plays and a pair of gener­
ous UCLA personal fouls.
With the score 34-30, Aikman took the
Bruins to the WSU six-yard line, at which
point he had four downs and 44 seconds to
put things right. Alas, four straight passes
fell incomplete and the Washington State
comeback was history. Two days later the
Bruins plummeted to No. 6 in the polls.
Bowl games regularly provide a stage
for unforgettable comebacks.
The 1979 Cotton Bowl, pitting'Houston
and Notre Dame, marked Joe Montana's
final game for the Fighting Irish. It was
also his most dramatic. Conditions were
miserable. Gale-force winds knifed
through the players. Temperatures fell into
the low 20s.
Montana, his body wracked with chills
from the flu, took advantage of a strong
tailwind in the first quarter to put 12 unan­
swered points on the board. It was 12-7
when Houston got the wind, and 34-12
when they gave it back after a 27-0 blitz in
the second and third quarters.
Meanwhile, Montana had spent most of

the third quarter in the locker room, shiv­
ering and aching. The Irish had all but
given up ... and then Montana returned.
With less than eight minutes to play, the
Irish were down, 34-14, but not out. Notre
Dame's Steve Cichy ran back a blocked
punt 33 yards for a touchdown. Three min­
utes later Montana capped a drive with a
two-yard TD run and added a two-point
conversion on a pass to Kris Haines to cut
the margin to 34-28.
The final minute of play will live in
infamy at Houston for it not only cost a
victory but produced extensive secondguessing by Houston coach Bill Yeoman.
Slightly more than 40 seconds remained
when Houston was forced to punt, but the
Irish were offsides after the punt traveled
only to midfield against the stiff wind.
Yeoman decided to take the penalty to
move the ball within two feet of a first
down. Now, instead of punting again, he
chose to go for the first.
What happened is history. Emmett
King was stopped short. Notre Dame
took over at the UH 29 with 28 seconds
left and no timeouts remaining. Montana
scrambled for 11 yards out of bounds to
the 18. Eleven seconds remained. On the
next play he passed 10 yards to the UH
six. Six seconds left. Montana passed
incomplete to Haines. With time running
out, Montana zipped a pass to Haines,

who made the catch in the corner of the
end zone.
The clock showed 00:00 and only a few
dazed and frozen fans were left in the
Cotton Bowl when Notre Dame backup
kicker Joe Unis came on for the PAT. It
was good, but the Irish were flagged for
illegal procedure. Unis kept his cool and
split the sticks again. The Irish won, 3534, and celebrated with hot showers.
The weather was kinder in San Diego
for that 19(80 Holiday Bowl between
Brigham Voung University and Southern
Methodist. But the drama was every bit as
intense as in "The Montana Cotton Bowl."
The daunting BYU offense was led by
junior quarterback Jim McMahon, the
brash anti-hero whose audacity off the
field was matched only by his flamboy­
ance between the lines. BYU entered the
game 11-0, and they were determined to
make SMU victim No. 12.
But the Mustangs had other ideas.
Sparked by running backs Eric Dickerson
and Craig James, SMU shot out to a 19-0
lead in the first eight minutes. BYU tried to
catch up, but the score was 29-13 at the half.
The SMU offense was not through. With
just 4:07 left in the game, the Mustangs had
taken a commanding 45-25 lead. My friend
and his son weren't the only fans who made
for the exits. McMahon & Co. needed
nothing less than a miracle.

STORMING BACK!

Mayes scoring almost at will, the Cougars overcame
Cardinal leads of 35-7 and 42-14.

And they got several. Following a
McMahon TD pass at the end of a sevenplay drive, the Cougars recovered an
onside kick. Three plays later tailback
Scott Phillips took it in from the one to
make the score 45-39.
SMU still had the dwindling clock on
their side. They ran three plays and lined
up to punt, content to bury BYU deep in
its own territory as time dribbled away.
Enter BYU cornerback Bill Schoepflin,
who blocked the punt to give his team the
ball on the SMU 41.
Football is nondenominational, so it
was appropriate that McMahon toss up
two Hail Marys with the hope of divine
intervention.
They were incomplete. With three sec­
onds remaining McMahon lofted one last
pass high into the cool Pacific air.
Somehow BYU's Clay Brown gathered it
in while surrounded by Mustangs, and the
score was tied at 45-45. Kurt Gunther
added the PAT to complete the comeback
in the highest-scoring bowl game ever.
Finally, no tale of great comebacks

would be complete without a chapter on
the nail-biters between those fabled rivals,
Notre Dame and USC.
The 1931 season was a time of mourn­
ing for the Irish, whose legendary coach,
Knute Rockne, had been killed in a plane
crash the previous March. Still, when USC
came to South Bend that November, Notre
Dame was at the peak of its power,
unbeaten in its last 26 games.
The Irish took a 14-0 lead into the
fourth quarter, but after that they could no
longer hold the Trojans. Led by quarter­
back Orv Mohler and a phalanx of talented
ball handlers, USC scored 16 points in that
final quarter to take a 16-14 decision.
In 1964 another unbeaten Notre Dame
team traveled to Los Angeles for their tra­
ditional showdown in the Coliseum. They
were favored by 14 points and considered
a sure thing to sweep the Trojans under the
rug and claim the national championship
in the process. Even USC coach John
McKay mischievously admitted that his
cause was hopeless.
"I've decided that if we play our very
best and make no mistakes whatsoever
we will definitely make a first down,"
McKay wryly commented four days
before the game.
Notre Dame took a 17-0 lead at halftime
and appeared to have things comfortably
under control. Then, in the second half, the
USC attack of Mike Garrett on the ground
and Craig Fertig through the air began to
pay off. The Trojan offense scored twice,
while the defense (aided by a costly Irish
holding penalty) kept Notre Dame out of
the end zone.
Although it was still ahead, Notre Dame
seemed frozen in its tracks. With the score
at 17-13 and 1:43 left in the game, Fertig
hit halfback Rod Sherman with a 15-yard
touchdown pass that lifted USC to the lead
and the 20-17 victory.
No other comeback game, however, can
quite measure up to the USC backlash in
its 1974 victory over Notre Dame.
A Coliseum crowd of 83,552—all but a
tiny comer screaming for USC—watched
in helpless bewilderment as Notre Dame
ran up a 24-0 lead and took a 24-6 advan­
tage into the locker room at the half. The
use offense—led by Pat Haden, Anthony
Davis and Johnny McKay (the coach's
son)—was frustrated at every turn, while
the defense was systematically dismantled
by Irish quarterback Tom Clements and
his crew.
Then the roof caved in on Notre Dame.
Davis took the opening second-half
kickoff 102 yards for a touchdown.

TOUCHDOWN ILLUSTRATED

A Haden-to-McKay pass set up a sixyard Davis touchdown run on USC's next
possession.
USC took a 27-24 lead with two pin­
point passes from Haden and a four-yard
run on a pitchout to Davis.
The rout was on. USC racked up 35
points in that third quarter, the most ever
scored on a Notre Dame team in any quar­
ter of play. The Trojans added 14 more in
the final quarter to ice a 55-24 dream.
It was, perhaps, the most schizophrenic
college football game ever played, epito­
mizing the unexpected shifting of fortunes
that brings either joy or heartache . . .
depending, of course, upon which side of
the comeback you sit.

The 1899 University of the South footbaii team was ied by business manager Luke Lea (back row, third from left) and coach Herman Suter (back row, fourth from ieft). Key
players included team captain H.G. Seibels (front row, middle) and quarterback Warbler Wilson (front row, fourth from left).

As the consummate road
warriors, the University of the
South won five games in six
days late in the 1899 season,
a remarkable feat that will
probably never be repeatedor even attempted.

his is not an April Fools' Day story.
Believe it or not, these games really
happened:
Sewanee 12, University of Texas 0
Sewanee 10, Texas A&M 0
Sewanee 23, Tulane 0
Sewanee 34, LSU 0
Sewanee 12, Ole Miss 0
So what? So what, indeed! But think on
this: Those five games were played in a
six-day period.
Five football games in six days? Right,
and don't quit reading.

TOUCHDOWN ILLUSTRATED

Sewanee won them all on the road.
Furthermore, Princeton alumnus and
Sewanee coach Herman Suter used only
15 players from his 21-man squad on the
2,500-mile shutout victory swing, known
as "The Trip." And Suter's Purple Tigers
didn't travel by auto, bus or plane. They
traveled by train, in the days of the woodburning engine!
Remarkable story? Yes. The College
Football Hall of Fame near Cincinnati,
Ohio, ought to. play it big. It doesn't now.
Someday it will.

SEWANEE STREAK
No team can match that feat.
It all happened in 1899. William
McKinley was the president of the
United States, while in England Queen
Victoria was still doddering around
Buckingham Palace.
Sewanee was, and is, officially known
as The University of the South. Its 10,000
acres, abundant in ivy, are up the road
a piece from Chattanooga, if one
is headed northwest, toward
Nashville.
Football is still played there.
It's not de-emphasized football—
just football, by student scholars.
The late Shirley Majors, John's
dad, coached there with distinc­
tion for many years.
The NCAA knows about
Sewanee football. It has awarded
more of its postgraduate honors to
the school than to any other
Division III institution in the land.
Once upon a time, the Purple
Tigers were the perennial football
power. While Sewanee is proud of
its football tradition, it does not
boast of it from rooftops.
It wasn't a power by the time
the Southeastern Conference was
bom in 1933, but Sewanee was a
member. It resigned in 1940 with
a 0-37 SEC football record.
But from 1899 on, for 30-odd
seasons, Sewanee wasn't afraid to
challenge, anybody.
Its memorable team, that 1899
group ignored by history, set a
precedent. The five wins in six days came
late in a 12-0-0 season.
Sewanee archives credit Luke Lea, the
big-dreaming team business manager, with
assembling the players for 1899 and per­
suading Suter to coach them. Lea, who
later became a Nashville newspaper pub­
lisher and a U.S. senator, recmited men—
mostly players with college experience—
from several states.
Quarterback Warbler Wilson had been a
second-stringer at South Carolina. Team
captain H.G. Seibels of Birmingham, Ala.,
had been a lineman. Seibels, who was the
last surviving member of the team, died in
1969 as a College Football Hall of Famer.
Sewanee opened its '99 season by
defeating Georgia, 12-0, and Georgia
Tech, 32-0, in Atlanta on Oct. 21 and 23.
It routed Tennessee, 46-0, and South­
western, 54-0, at home within the next
11 days.
It finished the year by spanking
Cumberland, 71-0, on Nov. 20 at home;

Auburn, 11-10, in Montgomery on Nov. 30;
and North Carolina, 5-0, in Atlanta on
Dec. 2.
The final game should have been called
a "bowl." Although it predated the Rose
Bowl by only two years, it had all the ele­
ments to qualify as a major postseason
game. Sewanee had heard about North
Carolina claiming the Dixie champi­

nus waved a fistful of money to fellow
sidelining Texans, offering odds that Texas
wouldn't score then, or later.
Texans covered. Texans lost.
One Sewanee version of that gamble
claims that most of the winning money
represented an investment by Sewanee
players. Historians report that following
the game the Texans hosted the Sewanee
players at a dance.
Following a late-night trip to
Houston, Sewanee whipped the
Texas A«feM Aggies the next
afternoon, a Friday.
The 400 miles left to New
Orleans denied the Tigers a dance
in Houston. The players did attend
a theater performance (Mi Saturday
evening, however, after Tulane
had been trounced, 2^0.
In the final act ofythe play they
attended, "Rupert of Hentzan," the
dead hero was in state when Queen
Flavia rushed on stage dressed in
royal mourning clothes of purple.
That was Sewanee's color. The
players leaped up and rendered the
school yell. Actors and audience
were mystified. The dramatic spell
was lost, as Texas, Texas A&M
and Tulane had.
And LSU was to lose in Baton
Rouge on Monday, and Ole Miss
in Memphis on Tuesday.
On Sunday, break day, Sewanee
players toured a sugar plantation
on a detour to Baton Rouge. They
cheered for the purple cane.
LSU's color was purple also, and so were
their bruises. Qle Miss colors were red
and black, and so were their feelings
late Tuesday.
The 300 miles from Memphis to Sewa­
nee were uneventful for a team headed
home. The entire student b(xiy, it is written,
met the train. There was a triumphant halfmile parade up the mountain to the campus.
The students had rented a hack, which they
pulled by rope up the slope with 15-plus
celebrities aboard.
Six days, five football games, five vic­
tories—and a bid for history. On the
seventh day, as Sewanee recorded it,
"They rested."

Dut as the team left to play
the University of Texas, a crisis
developed on the special sleeper car,
only five miles down the railroad
from Sewanee. lea remembered that
he'd forgotten to load the new uniforms
off the station platform. He got the
conductor to wire a request that the
equipment he dispatched on another
train. The uniforms caught up with
the players a few minutes before
kickoff in Austin.
onship. So the Tigers challenged the boast,
and settled it by a field goal (which then
counted as five points).
But "The Trip" was for the ages. Lea
promoted that, too. He even talked the
school fathers into buying new uniforms
for the team—the custom back then had
players furnishing their own combat
wardrobe and shoes.

THE Rebound
hy Mary Schmitt

Bouncing back on Hie playing field may be the most painful part
of an injury-but it can also be just what the doctor ordered.
erry Mays remembers it as if it hap­
pened yesterday. But it didn't. It
happened Saturday, May 9,1987.
"It was a hot spring day," recalled
Mays, now a senior running back at
Georgia Tech. "We had two spring
games that year, and this was the
second one.
"It was late in the second quarter, and
I'd been playing every snap of the whole
game. At that particular point I was really
tired," he said.
"We ran a sweep play to the left, a little

toss sweep. I cut up a little crease, and a guy
hit me from the right. That made me plant
my left leg. My foot caught in the turf and
my knee buckled. I heard all these pops.
"When it first happened it was really
painful. But after I got up it felt better. It
felt good, actually. The pain went away.
But they had to help me off the field. On
the sideline I thought things were going
to be OK. Unfortunately, things turned
out differently."
Five days later Mays had surgery to
reconstruct his anterior cruciate ligament.

He missed the entire 1987 season.
Like many football players who suffer a
major injury. Mays fully expected to
return to football. And although some doc­
tors advise against playing again, with
determination, faith and plain old hard
work during rehabilitation, many athletes
do, in fact, make it back.
This is a story about athletes on the
rebound, players who have returned from
major injuries to play—and in some cases,
even star—again.
Take Mays, for example. Although he's

itation had to be put to sleep so doctors
could manipulate his leg so it would
regain its range of motion. "That little
statement made me want to go out and do
well. That was what drove me, what kept
pushing me to do well.
"People always look at my size as a dis­
advantage. And on top of that, I had a seri­
ous knee injury. I'm glad I was able to
show them otherwise through my actions.
My actions spoke for me."

only 5-8 and 166 pounds, he overcame
major problems in his rehabilitation and
came back last season to rush for a
career-high 942 yards, third in the
Atlantic Coast Conference. His rushing
total was the fourth-best single-season
total in Tech history.
Mays was also the fifth-leading pass
receiver in the ACC last year, making 46
receptions, the most made by a running
back in Tech history and the third-best

total ever for a Tech player.
In all. Mays accounted for 37 percent of
Tech's offensive production. For his coura­
geous performance. Mays won the Brian
Piccolo Award, which is presented to an
ACC football player who demonstrates
great courage in overcoming adversity.
"After I hurt my knee, all the rumors
said that I wouldn't be able to come back,
that I wouldn't be able to do it," said
Mays, who at one point during his rehabil­

TOUCHDOWN ILLUSTRATED

The dedication of Mays and others like
him speaks volumes.
There's Kurt Larson, a senior outside
linebacker at Michigan State last season,
who recovered from a knee injury and an
Achilles' tendon injury to lead the nation
in interceptions, with eight.
Defensive tackle Ken Hackemack of
Texas came back from surgery on both
knees and had 35 tackles and six sacks in
five games as a junior last season.
Outside linebacker Mike McGrann of
Cornell rebounded from an ankle injury
and was named defensive captain and a
member of the All-Ivy League team as a
senior last year. And now he's helping his
roommate, Dan Miller, also an outside
linebacker, cope in the aftermath of a seri­
ous knee injury. Miller, a senior last sea­
son, may be granted another year of
eligibility, but he's not sure if he'll play
even if he gets it.
But as for perseverance, all of these
players take a back seat to tailback Eric
Hawkins of San Jose State. Hawkins has
been through 11 surgeries—that's right,
nearly a dozen—on his left knee. And yet
last year, as a senior playing in his only
season, he was the third-leading rusher for
San Jose State with 152 yards and a 4.9yard average per carry.

ON THE REBOUND
Cornell's game against Colgate in 1987—
ironically, Cornell was playing Colgate
when McGrann was hurt in 1986—Miller
cut to make a tackle when his right foot
stuck on the AstroTurf and he snapped
the anterior cruciate ligament and tore
some cartilage.
Although one doctor told him never to
play football again, two other doctors told
him that not only would he be able to play
again but, because of the structure of the
joints in his knee, he might even be able to
get away without having surgery.
Buoyed by that. Miller started "rehabbing like a madman." Less than six weeks
later he went back on the football field to
test his knee, although his coaches dis­
suaded him, saying that playing would
jeopardize his chance of getting another
year of eligibility.
But ignoring the fact that his knee was
getting weaker and occasionally gave out.
Miller did play lacrosse in the spring of
1988. Four weeks into the season he was
hit hard from the left. His right knee shift­
ed and he tore a lot more cartilage.
This time there was no decision to be

made. He had surgery in April and missed
the 1988 season.
Now he finds himself mentally strug­
gling about his future—on and off the
field. "It has been almost a year, and it's
not going so great, to be honest," he said.
"I can feel [my knee] now. I feel it pretty
much all the time now. I'm starting to get
arthritis. Lately it's been bothering me
every day, just walking around.
"I'm also a lot more aware of what's
down the road, for the first time. When I
was younger, I didn't think about my future
much. Now I realize I'd like to be able to
play with my kids on this knee. I may be a
little more cautious now," he said.
"Also, I realize I may not be the player I
was in the past. Not to be able to do things
that I used to be able to do would drive me
crazy. That would be a tough cross to bear.
I'd hate to be in a situation where I'm like
85 percent. On top of that, if I'm like that,
my chance of injuring [my knee] again is
higher. And to do it again would be ugly."
All the injured players have experi­
enced the same feelings—all the doubts,
all the anxiety. Some players go through it

once, some twice. San Jose State's Haw­
kins went through it 11 times.
"I think people put a mark on a person
with a knee injury," said Hawkins, whose
surgeries—six open-knee surgeries and
five arthroscopic surgeries—were per­
formed to improve the range of motion for
the knee he originally hurt as a senior in
high school. "You're stamped 'rejected'—a
stamp of failure—bright off the bat. And I
think that's wrong.
"After all these surgeries I was still a
second-string tailback. That says to me I
would have been first-string if I wouldn't
have had this injury. Sure, I wanted to
show all those people who put that stamp
on me. But mostly I had to proyfe it
to myself." *■»

he first thing an injured player wants
to know is, "Will I ever play again?"
After an affirmative answer, his next
concern is when—and how well.
Before the advent of arthroscopic
surgery, the chance of playing competi­
tive football soon after knee surgery was
slight, despite the high level of dedication
and hard work put into rehabilitation.
Arthroscopic surgery enables thou­
sands of athletes to have damaged knees
repaired and to return to their activities
within two to four weeks—requiring
less recovery time and involving less
pain than following conventional openknee surgery.
The procedure is clean and relatively
simple. Using an arthroscope—^an instru­
ment that allows doctors to see directly
into the knee and to diagnose a prob­
lem—a magnified image of the knee
joint is projected into an eyepiece or
onto a television monitor.

several tiny incisions around the knee
and injects a sterile saline solution into
one of them. This causes the knee to puff
up, making it large enough to insert the
arthroscope with ease.
The arthroscopic shaft contains coated
glass fibers and a series of magnifying
lenses that beam an intense, cool light
into the joint, which provides a detailed
view of the cartilage and ligaments. This
allows the doctor to completely evaluate
the injury.
If the injury can be repaired with
arthroscopic surgery, the doctor will pro­
ceed, using the TV monitor as a guide.
Afterward, the small incisions will be
stitched or taped together and the knee
will be bandaged. The patient can usual­

ly leave the hospital, on crutches, that
sameday.
Although arthroscopic surgery has
done wonders in helping doctors to identify specific knee damage, it cannot be
used on all knee injuries, such as major
tears of ligaments.
A considerable amount of arthroscopic
surgery is performed on football players,
mainly because the high-speed contact of
the sport increases the possibility, and
thus the number, of knee injuries. But
many basketball players, baseball catchers, and jumpers suffer similar knee
problems later in life due to accumulated
wear and stress on the joint.
Recently doctors have begun to study
the use of arthroscopic surgery on other
joints, including the shoulder for the
repair of separations.
For now, though, the impact that
arthroscopic surgery has had on vulnera­
ble knees has football players and coach­
es jumping for joy.

the same approach with his wide
receivers. The idea is to take some of the
burden off the quarterback and force the
receivers to do their share of deciphering
the defense.
The key to the Run-and-Shoot is quick­

catch. Too much time spent on any aspect
destroys the timing and makes it suscepti­
ble to interceptions and incompletions.
Jenkins said he spends as much time
going over opposing defenses, and on how
to recognize them, as he spends on other
aspects of the game. Athleticism at quarter­
back is secondary. Ware, a 6-2, 190-pounder
with speed, is the ideal quarterback—
mobile, good arm, good head. But both
Pardee and Jenkins said a quarterback with
the attributes of Jim Kelly, the Buffalo Bills
quarterback who ran the Run-and-Shoot
with the Gamblers, is not necessary.
"Any discussion of offensive football is
useless unless you know the strengths and
weaknesses of fronts and coverages,"
Jenkins said. "There's nothing magical
about a design. It comes down to players
executing what you have for them."

A'#*' / 'f'"‘

Said Davis: "[The Run-and-Shoot] just
allows more opportunities for wide
receivers to convert their routes."
The result is multidimensional. A defen­
sive back never knows what his man will
do. Defensive coaches must also abandon
their ground-oriented, heavy-footed
linebackers and plug in nickel backs. And
when they do, the Run-and-Shoot lets the
superback do his occasional work.
Two players split Houston's S-back
duties. One, a 5-9, 205-pound bowling
ball, gained 1,004 yards rushing on 8.5
yards per carry, while the other caught 33
passes for 377 yards, mostly on short
shuttle passes.
Jenkins is a bigger fan of the shuttle
pass than Davis. But they are alike in their
approach to the offense. Davis said a few
teams will occasionally use Run-andShoot plays, but they will not use the phi­
losophy full-time. "It requires more
discipline to do what we do," he said. "It
requires practice."
Houston quarterbacks spend about two
hours of practice each day on passing.
They throw from 250 to 300 passes.

mm

Before practice even begins, each receiver
catches approximately 70 passes.
The secret to succeeding with the Runand-Shoot, all the coaches say, is to be
faithful to it. Stick with it when times are
bad. Use it even in goal-line situations.
Jenkins made it into his goal-line offense
with the Gamblers and scored 21 out of 26
times from inside the six.
Most important, the coaches say, is to
use it alone. "I've never seen anyone good
at anything when they split up time,"
said Pardee, who has also coached the
NFL's Washington Redskins and Chicago
Bears. "You don't get the repetitions that
are necessary."
■'
Repetitions they've got. Respect, no.
Not even from the players. "It reminds
me," Ware said, "of a bunch of guys play­
ing in the back yard." *■*

Sanders started the 1988 season
by returning the opening kickoff
100 yards for a touchdown.
And that was only the begin­
ning for the 5-8, 197-pound
Sanders, who finished his junior
season with 2,628 yards rushing (an
NCAA record), going for more than 300
yards four times. He capped off the year
with 222 yards in the Cowboys' 62-14
Holiday Bowl win over Wyoming.
For his efforts, Sanders was named
recipient of several major postseason
honors, including the Heisman Trophy
and the Maxwell Award, the latter pre­
sented annually by the Maxwell Club of
Philadelphia to the nation's outstanding
college football player.
Founded in 1937, the Maxwell Club
promotes football in the name of Robert
"Tiny" Maxwell, a man whose many qual­
ities as an All-America football player, a
respected football official and a noted
sports editor and humorist endeared hini to
football fans across the country.
The Maxwell Club's most important
function may be its financing, through
membership dues and donations, of a high
school and college awards program during
the football season. The weekly luncheons

The Maxwell Club annually organizes
numerous activities to help enhance the
safety of football players, including spon­
sorship of an athletic injury clinic for
Philadelphia-area coaches and trainers as
well as medical clinics at the University of
Pennsylvania and Temple University.
The selection of Maxwell Award win­
ners begins with a nominating ballot that
is sent to club members, media represen­
tatives and former Maxwell Award win­
ners. Each person nominates three
players, and the ballots are forwarded to
the Maxwell Club executive committee.
Using the players' season statistics and
accomplishments, the committee narrows
the field to three, four or five names. The
club's board of governors then makes the
final decision.
Among the 26 NCAA records Sanders
broke or tied last season were:

erched high above the roaring

chilling winds, the stadium press
box is the unassuming heart of a
football game. Besides housing all
the media who report on a game,
the press box serves as the VIP
lounge, reception center for the host
and a coach's best viewing point.
The press box wasn't always a prime
piece of real estate. Early football
reporters were lucky to have an umbrella

brisk autumn afternoon. But as the game
of football became more refined, so did

Today's college stadium press box looks
more like part of the school's computer
science lab than a football field. Modems,
computerized statistics sheets, video cam­

tools of the trade.
"The press box serves the media like an
office away from the office," said

University of Oregon assistant sports infor­
mation director Dave Williford. The press
box is definitely a work place. Guided by a
code of ethics, there is generally no cheer­
ing or other form of partisan behavior dur­
ing the game—at least among the media.
The University of California's press box
at Berkeley's Memorial Stadium is similar

programs, statistics, lineup flip cards and
media guides, as well as a piped-in playby-play account of the game, with
postgame quotes. Instant-replay screens,
telephones and areas for radio and televi­

And perhaps the best feature is a free
lunch, donated by the home team.

advantages of a press box, as visiting

we increased their number to eight rather than four—the most any
other picture tube maker uses.
What it all amounts to is a picture with 700 lines of reso­

NEWS ROOM

enjoy the game from luxury booths. But
some of the most important features of a
press box are the utility booths—^places for
the official timekeeper, public address
announcer and coaches, who use that van­
tage point to analyze the teams' perfor­
mance on the field and shoot important
game films.
Still, the main focus of the press box
reihains the press. Boston College kicked
off its 1988 football season with a new,
$25 million athletic complex that includes

a state-of-the-art press box that rivals pro­
fessional news studios, said Reid Oslin,
assistant athletic director for sports public­
ity. The two-tiered deck spans 50 yards
and seats more than 200 people. The
media center itself offers high-quality ser­
vices for all levels of sportscasting, includ­
ing space for 85 writers, four radio booths,
one network broadcast booth, two large
photo bays and smaller booths for statisti­
cians, the public address announcer and
the official timekeeper.

77te convenience and comfort of today’s press box can sometimes be offset by a longdistance view of the field.

Not all schools grade their press boxes
so highly. "I like to use the word
'antique,'" said University of Pittsburgh's
Larry Eldridge, assistant AD for public
relations, when describing the 12-year-old
"temporary" press box at Pitt Stadium.
The cramped quarters are too small for the
crush of the national media, but they still
offer all the phone lines, statistical reports
and player guides necessary to cover a
game, he said.
Eldridge said he feels that smaller, more
humble press boxes are better than larger,
more "sterile" ones. "They stir up more
camaraderie among the reporters, as in the
old days," he said. However, many of the
older press boxes are open-air, which
makes for a chilly afternoon's v^ork at
some of the colder-climate schools.
For sports columnist Monte'Poole of
The (Oakland) Tribune, the needs of a
reporter are simple: "A quick elevator
and a good view." He said that a slow ele­
vator down to the locker rooms can ham­
per a reporter's ability to talk with a
player or coach right after a game, when
the emotion is still running high. And a
good view of the action on the field is vital,
he explained.
The press box at the University of
Washington's Husky Stadium in Seattle
offers a great view—of the Cascade and
Olympic mountain ranges. But with the
field 165 feet below the press box,
reporters have to look almost directly
downward to see the game. Chip Lydum,
assistant SID, said that while the nearly
500-seat Husky press box is a good van­
tage point from which to diagram play for­
mations, its height and older structure can
cause frightening shakes and shudders
when the win^ blows or when the crowd
starts to clap mands and stomp feet. Poole
said he agrees. "You catch yourself rooting
for the other team, just so the Husky fans
don't get excited," he said.
Most Division I college press boxes are
plugged in to the high-tech needs of the
media. By using computerized statistics
sheets, instant-replay screens and pre­
pared pregame and postgame quotes, a
reporter may not need to even be at the
game. Are game-site press boxes soon to
be obsolete?
"Football isn't like golf," Poole said.
"As a reporter you need to feel the game,
as well as watch it."
Oslin perhaps best summed up the
importance of an on-site press box. "An
off-campus press box would need to have a
lot of electricity, but it could never replace
the electricity of the game itself." *■»

As Notre Dame fans held their breath, free safety Pat Terrell batted away Miami’s two-point conversion try in the waning moments at South Bend last year.

he stoic expression on Coach
Jimmy Johnson's face gave no hint
of the tragedy that was unfolding
just 50 yards away on the hallowed
turf of Notre Dame Stadium on
Oct. 15, 1988. But what Johnson
was feeling inside was a differ­
ent story.
He was witnessing the end of a 36-game
winning streak and with it the destruction
of a dream—the winning of a second suc­

onship for his Miami Hurricanes. His team
fell 31-30 on a failed two-point conversion
attempt 45 seconds before the final gun.
Quarterback Steve Walsh, who completed
31 of 50 passes for 424 yards and four
touchdowns, lofted the ball in the direction
of halfback Leonard Conley in the comer
of the end zone in an attempt to win the
game. Notre Dame free safety Pat Terrell
knocked it away.

lock with the Irish and still in control of
their destiny. As losers, they had to hope
that another team would defeat Notre
Dame and put the Hurricanes in position
to retain their national title. But that was
not to be.
Johnson—^who as the new head coach of
the NFL's Dallas Cowboys no longer has
to determine whether to go for one or two
points following a touchdown—^has no sec­
ond thoughts about the decision to go for
two. "We always play to win," he said.

"That's the way you play the game. There
is no consideration of anything else."
In the past the two-point conversion—
made a par^^of the game in 1958—was
good to the Hurricanes. It played a major
role in their No. 1 ranking in the 1983 and
1987 seasons.
Who will ever forget Nebraska misfir­
ing on a two-point pass attempt with 48
seconds remaining in the 1984 Orange
Bowl and losing the national title to
Miami in another 31-30 conflict?
Cornhusker coach Tom Osborne would
not have been criticized if he had gone for
the extra point. After all, Nebraska needed
only a tie to finish as the nation's lone
unbeaten team. Osborne, like Johnson in
1988, never wavered in going for the
deuce. He played his hand the only way he
knew how—by using every tactic avail­
able to try to win.
In 1987 the Hurricanes fell behind
Florida State, 19-3, then rallied to pull out

TOUCHDOWN ILLUSTRATED

TWO-POINT GAMBLE
unsuccessful try by the Seminoles. Miami
drew even at 19-19 with its two-pointers,
then went for one point after its final
touchdown for a 26-19 advantage. Florida
State scored with 42 seconds remaining,
then said no to playing for a tie and lost its
two-point conversion attempt—and the
game—on an incomplete pass.
The drama produced in the final sec­
onds of those games was exactly what the
NCAA Football Rules Committee had in
mind when it conceived the two-point play
31 years ago. Today there is little opposi­
tion to the two-point rule. In the begin­
ning, however, that was not the case.
The historic 1958 rules committee ses­
sion was held in a residential hotel in Fort
Lauderdale, Fla.—the Lago Mar. Mich­
igan athletic director Fritz Crisler, who
was chairman of the committee, had a
friend who owned the hotel. There were
no meeting rooms, so after the bar closed
at 2 a.m. some tables and chairs were
placed on the dance floor for the 8 a.m.
committee gathering.
"There was a feeling among committee
members that something had to be done
to spice up the game because there
weren't enough field goals and the extra
point was too simple a play," said Dave
Nelson, secretary-editor of the rules com­
mittee, who attended his first meeting in
1958, when he was coach at the Univer­
sity of Delaware.
One of the suggestions for adding some
excitement to the game was to move the
goal posts back to the goal line, but it was
rejected for reasons of safety. The next
proposal was to widen the goal posts. That
was also turned down. E.C. "Irish"
Krieger, the Big Ten technical advisor for
football, then mentioned that prior to
World War II a two-point conversion play
had been discussed.
"I was sitting next to Bud Wilkinson
[the Oklahoma coach] and we both
thought it was a good idea," said Nelson.
"After a while it came up for a vote. The
idea lost 12-2. That night former Alabama
and Duke head coach Wallace Wade [who
was representing the Southern Confer­
ence] said he thought the two-point con­
version would be good for football. He got
Illinois coach Ray Eliot, who had voted
against the original proposal, to bring it up
again the next day. After a lot of discus­
sion, the matter came to a final vote. Eliot
voted against it.
"Crisler said that because it was a con­
troversial rule change the committee
should have a unanimous vote," Nelson
recounted. "Eliot said if we moved the ball

back from the three-yard line to the fiveyard line he would vote for the change.
Crisler told him no. Eliot then lobbied to
put the ball on the four-yard line. Crisler
again said no, then asked Ray why he was
so upset. Eliot responded, 'Sir, let me tell
you. Sir, that in my league if we put the
ball on the three-yard line. Woody Hayes
[the Ohio State coach] will score two
points every time [his team] puts the ball
in play.'"

Tom Osborne’s choice to go for two in the 1984
Orange Bowl cost Nebraska a national champi­
onship—but he never second-guesses his decision.

But coaches throughout the country
were intrigued with the new rule. Many
thought it would be almost as easy to
score via the run or the pass as it would be
with a kick, so 51.4 percent of the extra­
point attempts in 1958 were for two
points. The success rate was 44.7 percent
compared with 68.6 percent for the kick.
In 1959 coaches began to see the light.
Only 40.2 percent of the PAT attempts
were two-point conversions. The success
rate dropped to 40.3 percent, while kick­
ers were successful with 75.4 percent of
their attempts.
At the same time there was a strong
movement to do away with the rule. The
leader of the opposition was Georgia Tech
coach Bobby Dodd. "I was coaching at
Delaware at the time and in 1958 we lost
8-7 to Lafayette and 7-6 to Lehigh, both
games revolving around the two-point
play," said Nelson. "Dodd sent me a tele­
gram. It contained the two scores and said,
'It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.'"
Not long after the two-point rule was
passed, Lou Little of Columbia was named

TOUCHDOWN ILLUSTRATED

chairman of the rules committee. He came
to the general meeting armed with a reso­
lution supporting the two-point rule and
widening of the goal posts. The opposition
quickly faded.
In 1960, the third year of the plan, the
percentage of PAT attempts for two points
dropped to 29.9. The low point was 1986,
when just .095 percent of the tries were for
two points. In 616 games last season, only
10.8 percent of the PATs were for two
points. The success rate was 43.5 percent.
"The rule has added a great deal of
interest to the game, but it doesn't compare
in importance with the free-substitution
rule," said Nelson. "That rule is the reason
we have so many field goals these days. It
permitted teams to have a specialist to
snap the ball, a specialist to hold the ball
and a specialist to kick the ball."'
A recent addition to the rute book has
given another new look to the extra point.
This change permits the defense to score
two points on a PAT attempt if they return
a blocked kick, an intercepted pass or a
fumble interception for a touchdown.
These things happened 19 times in about
2,500 games last season and involved all
levels of NCAA teams. "We made the
change because the thinking was that 'total
football' wasn't being played on the extra
point," said Nelson. "I think the rule will
have a greater impact this season. I heard
that one team is thinking of using a 6-10
basketball player to try to block kicks."
Coach John Mackovic of Illinois, who
also wears the athletic director hat, said he
believes that the number of two-point
attempts will increase this season. "With
the tee being tak^n away from the kickers,
the number oP long-range field goals will
not be so high," observed the coach.
"People will be looking for other ways to
score points, and I see them opting for the
two-point conversion."
Mackovic is very familiar with coach­
ing at a level where there was no twopoint option. "It is an exciting part of the
college game," said the Illini coach, for­
merly the number-one man with Kansas
City in the NFL. "I was never in favor of
the two-point rule in the NFL, but if it ever
comes to a vote at the college level. I'll
vote 'yes.'"

TIPS ON SHOOTING SPORTS
In all photography, light is the basic
element with which you work. It
determines what film you use, what
apertures and shutter speeds you
choose.. .even the lens you select.
Proper lighting can make a common
subject great: bad lighting can ruin
the best sports shot.
Films are rated according to their
sensitivity to light. Somewhere on the
film canister, you’ll see the letters ISO
and a number from, say, 25 to 1000.
That number is the film speed, and the
higher it is, the more sensitivethefilm
is to light. Generally, fast or highly
sensitive filmstocks are also more
grainy than their slower, less sensitive

The Basics
of Light
and Fiim

brothers. This characteristic can be
used for artistic ends, but most
photographers like the finer resolu­
tion of slower films.
Choosing the right filmstock de­
pends on a number of variables. If
you’re shooting dune buggies at noon
on the Mohave desert, an ISO 25or 64
film will do just fine. In fact, you might
have trouble using an ISO 160 or 400
film: it might be too sensitive to tight,
forcing you to use very small aper­
tures or very high shutter speeds. If
you’re going to be shooting a football
game on a dull grey afternoon in
December, though, you’ll need all the
speed you can get, especially if you
want to use the faster shutter speeds
to freeze action.
If you’re shooting black and white
film, you’ve got a good deal of flexibil­
ity. B&W has a great deal of latitude:
you can be off as much as two f-stops
from the correct exposure and still get
a decent negative. Color films, both
negative and slide, unfortunately
have less latitude. If you’re off by
more than about one-half of an f-stop,
you’ll begin to see a color shift

B&W has another advantage, too.
The film can be “forced,” or exposed
as if it had an ISO rating of two or
three times its actual number. Your
photo lab can compensate for the
forced underexposure by “push pro­
cessing,” or extending the developing
time. (Among the color flims, Kodak’s
Ektachrome slide film can be forced
and push processed.) If the sun hides
behind the clouds and you decide to
force a film, remember to expose the
entire roll at the forced ISO number.
Since the compensation is done in the
developing process, you can’t correct
partially forced rolls of film!
What do you do if you load a film
that’s too sensitive for the light
conditions? The best answer is to use
an inexpensive accessory called a
“neutral density” filter, which mounts
in front of your lens and reduces the
amount of light passing through to
the film. ND filters are available in
strengths that reduce exposure by
one to three f-stops.
While B&W film is versatile, most
photographers prefer to shoot color.
Color negative films, which produce
prints, are available in speeds up to
ISO 1000, and many have a latitude of
one f-stop with acceptable results.
Color positive film, used to make
slides, has less latitude, but there’s
one filmstock—Kodak’s P800/1600—
that’s designed to be forced and push
processed. You can actually shoot
this film at ISO 3200!
Sooner or later, though, you’re
going to be shooting indoors. If you
supplement inadequate indoor light­
ing with electronic flash, make sure
that you choose a color film that’s
balanced for daylight. (If you use day­
light film under tungsten lights in­
doors, you’ll notice a decided shift
toward the red in all the colors.) Use a
tungsten-balanced film for correct
color values when shooting indoors.
Fluorescent lighting is something of a
problem, but using daylight film with
an FL-D filter provides a pretty good
answer.

FIRST
GAME
WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI
t is not without just cause that football
players at Grinnell College are nick­
named the Pioneers.
The 140-year-old school in central
Iowa lists among its accomplish­
ments the granting of the first bache­
lor's degrees west of the Mississippi
River, a woman graduated by 1867, its
first black student in 1871, and formation
of the nation's original undergraduate
political science department while
Chester A. Arthur was president in the
early 1880s.
But Grinnell is equally proud of the fact
that it was where football first landed when
it jumped the Mississippi heading west.
On Nov. 16, 1889, Grinnell—then called
Iowa College—Ghosted and won a football
game against the University of Iowa.
The sport had been creeping across the

country for two decades since Rutgers
launched American college football by
beating Princeton, 6-4, in New Brunswick,
N.J., in 1869.
In that historic game there were 25 play­
ers on a side. Goals, worth one point each,
were scored by kicking or butting the ball
through posts at each end of the field.

By the time collegiate football received
its Iowa baptism some substantial changes
had been made.
It didn't resemble the national champi­
onship game Notre Dame and West
Virginia played at the 1989 Sunkist Fiesta
Bowl, but it was getting there . . . very
slowly.
Two halves of 45 minutes each were
played, rather than continuing the compe­
tition until one team or the other had
scored six goals.
The length of the playing field had been
standardized at 330 feet.
Runners, who by now could carry the
football—but by no means throw it—had
to shout "down" when stopped.
Touchdowns were four points, goals fol­
lowing touchdowns two points and goals
kicked at random from the field five points.

selves by exchanging
greetings. A Grinnell suc­

Good fortune for Drake
would bring a counter:
"Well, well, Grinnell, why
don't you yell?"
This, of course, was
great fun. But spectators
expected to see football
games, not hear them.
So as far as Drake and Grinnell were
concerned, they put night football away
for 27 years before tiying it again—and
liking what they saw.
After its baptismal defeat at Grinnell,
the University of Iowa stepped up ath­
letic efforts in general and football
enthusiasm in particular.
Arthur G. Smith played center for the
Hawkeyes in the 24-0 loss to the
Pioneers in 1889. He was elected cap­
tain of Iowa's 1890 team that held twohour practices each Tuesday, Thursday
and Saturday, and played two games.
There was a second loss to Grinnell,
14-6 this time, and a 91-0 victory over
Iowa Wesleyan on Thanksgiving.
Buoyed by that heady experience, the
team attracted both increasing numbers of
prospective players and contributions to
the program from excited townspeople.
Soon the Hawkeyes were invited to
join a football league. Nebraska, Kansas
and Missouri were starting what was to
become the Big Eight.
For reasons not stated, Iowa declined.
Instead, the Hawkeyes entered the Big

the history of hopping the Mississippi in

Quarterbacks received the center snap
on every play, but could not carry the foot­
ball themselves.
There was a good/bad element to offen­

by either gaining five yards or losing 20 in
three plays.
With those ground rules established,
there appeared in October of 1889 notices
in two Iowa City newspapers—the
Vidette Reporter and the State Register.
Through the press came this call to

action: "The State University football team
hereby challenges any college or other
team in the state to a game of football,
American Association rules."
Among the readers of the advertisement
were Lou Van Gieson and Frank Everest at
Grinnell. They had been introduced to
football at prep schools in the East, and
they welcomed the opportunity to knock
heads with university rivals.
Preceding the first game west of the
Mississippi came something else that
exists to this day. To host such a game,
Grinnell folks needed some expense
money. That's right, fund raising.

rinnell and Iowa went m
different directions after
that historic game of
1889.
For the Pioneers, who
passed the hat both during
and after the game, there
was $10 remaining after
game expenses were paid.
They bought jackets for
team members, and the
sport prospered.
So much so that by 1900 Grinnell
was the guest for the first football game
played outdoors under artificial lighting.
On Oct. 5 of that season, Grinnell and
Drake met at the Western League base­
ball park in Des Moines.
Football's historians have established
that the sport had been played under
lights as early as 1890. But that was
indoors at New York's original Madison
Square Garden.
In Des Moines in 1900 the game was
outdoors. Fifty arc lights lined the sideline, but the center of the field was still
in relative darkness, and punts disappeared in midflight. Drake won, 6-0.
The game drew 2,500 sf)ectators, making it a financial if not artistic success.
So it was tried again the next season.
This time Grinnell won, 6-5. Lights for
the 1901 game were strung on wires
that stretched to the stadium fences
from a tall pole that had been erected in
the center of the playing field.

FOOTBALL
FLOURISHES
AFTER
HISTORIC
GAME

TOUCHDOWN ILLUSTRATED

Students, professors, administrators and
what passed in that era for boosters
kicked in—a quarter from most, a buck
from a few.
And so the battle line was drawn.
Now, what to wear?
There were no such things as helmets
then, of course. Or shoulder pads. Or hip
pads. Or shoes adapted specifically to the
sport of football.
What developed in the way of uni­
forms followed somewhat traditional col­
legiate lines.
From Iowa City, the university team
was said to be anxious to "bag a few corn­
field canaries." Yes, an early urban-coun­
try confrontation, and the city boys looked
grand. Their new white canvas uniforms
were spotless. But not for long.
The Grinnell men dressed down for the
occasion. In fact, Everest, the tjeam's right
end, later said: "A more heterogeneous
collection of old clothes never disgraced
an iritercollegiate contest." Only two—
probably Everest and Van Gieson—had
what were termed regulation football
pants. Most of the hosts wore a type of
knickers used for bicycling. There was
even one pair of genuine blue jeans.
In this instance, for sure, clothes did not
make the man.
Grinnell put on the field a gigantic rush
line, said to average 170 pounds from
flank to flank. A century ago, that was
extremely good-sized. Or didn't you know
that Notre Dame's fabled Four Horsemen
truly were ponies by today's standards?
These Grinnell rushers, moreover,
"were all of them men who can run at an
eleven-second gait," said an editorial in
the Iowa ColL^ge newspaper. The Pulse.
So there diey were on the central cam­
pus green one blustery November after­
noon—big, fast and owning a world
record for the largest number of different
colored jerseys across a line of scrimmage.
Grinnell's finest soon became an early
football power in the western half of the
United States.
Those who traveled from Iowa City to
watch their heroes teach the country boys a
lesson or two quickly realized that the chal­
lenged soon would become the conquerors.
To Grinnell's Otto Savage went the dis­
tinction of scoring the first touchdown
west of the Mississippi. Harry Macomber
later scored twice and Theron Lyman and
Van Gieson once each. The Ijumpkins
won, 24-0.
The key to the winner's success was
powerful use of a battering-ram flying
wedge, later outlawed.

EDINBORO UNIVERSITY’S 1989 FOOTBALL COACHING STAFF: (Kneeling L-R) Claude
Webb, Head Coach Tom Hollman and John Toomer. (Standing L-R) Dan Gierlak, Mark Niswonger,
Ed Stults, Gene Smith and Scott Browing.

Of significance during the inaugural
western game was a brief battle between
James Allison, center for Grinnell's
Pioneers, and Frank Pierce, right end for
the university team.
Call it an altercation or a misunderstanding—that's what they did back
then—it was said by a reporter to have
marred the felicity of the occasion.
To Allison and Pierce, then, goes a nod
for carrying a tradition to the West that
has been testing football's felicity factor
to this day.

Perhaps Pierce was frustrated because
of a flaw that became readily evident in a
system of "signals" the university team
had developed for the game,
It was a very simple code.
When "look out" was called for an offensive play, it heralded a run around left end.
A signal of "ready" meant the run was
going to be attempted around right end.
"All right" called for a smash into the
center of Grinnell's defensive line,
There was really only one problem. The
huddle hadn't been invented yet.

So even a country bunch like the Pio­
neers could quickly break the code.
Depending upon what was shouted by
Iowa's quarterback. Bill Bremner, Grinnell
massed its defenders in the proper place.
Iowa never whispered, never changed
its calls, and never scored. «■*

BILL ENGH: EDINBORO'S SUPER BOOSTER
the second week of the football season, but the Enghs still
managed to make it for the opening kickoff of a game played
at Millersville.
"We arrived in New York City at six in the morning
on the day of the game and right away I rented a car to
Millersville," Engh related.
The players are also special people to Engh. He visits
with them during practice and in the locker room, and by the
time they are upperclassmen he knows most of them on a
first-name basis.
"We more or less adopted the Gierlak boys (Tom,
Dan and Dave) that played here," he says with a smile. Engh
is also one of the top financial supporters of the EUP athletic
scholarship fund.
Engh has many fond memories of the athletes on and
off the field. He said the most unusual thing he witnessed was
during the Waynesburg game in 1971 when quarterback Joe
Sanford and halfback A1 Raines both ran the same distance 91 yards - from scrimmage for touchdowns in the same quar­
ter.
Engh says the best two teams were the 1970-71 Edin­
boro clubs. One of his most satisfying wins was when Edin­
boro knocked off highly-regarded West Chester for its first
and only Pennsylvania Conference championship in 1970. But
one of the most disappointing losses occurred a week later
when Westminster defeated Edinboro on a muddy field in
New Castle to advance to the NAIA national finals.
"That was probably the biggest disappointment
because we had a chance to go to California," he said. "Jack
Bestwick (the Westminster quarterback who is now Fairview
High School's coach) had a hot day for them. The game was
supposed to be played at Three Rivers Stadium but Westmin­
ster's coach, who was a member of the NAIA committee,
helped to get it changed because he knew his team couldn't
stay with us on a dry field."
The years preceding 1970 were lean ones for the
Edinboro football program, but Engh refused to give up his
seat in the stands. Win or lose, he's always been a booster.
"Everyone likes to win, and at times it was discour­
aging, but I always said there was another Saturday. And a
win over Clarion, Indiana or Slippery Rock then made it all
worthwhile."
The big difference, he says, is that football players
are much larger today. "190 pounds was big in my days," says
Engh, who was a wingback for four years in high school but
was too small to play in college. His high school hero while
growing up in Illinois was the legendary Red Grange, and
Engh said he was in the stands for the memorable game in the
late 1920s when Grange galloped for four touchdowns in the
mini's big win over Michigan.
"Grange was a lot like Herschel Walker," Engh
recalls. "He was big, fast and shifty and ran like a deer."
Engh still roots for the Fighting Illini, but as long as
he lives in Edinboro they'll be his second favorite team. Engh,
who was inducted into Edinboro University's Athletic Hall of
Fame five years ago, plans to follow the Fighting Scots forev­
er.
"As long as the Lord will let me keep walking on my
feet. I'll be there," he says.

You've heard of the subway alumni; the term used to
describe those college sports fanatics around the country who
have close ties with schools they didn't graduate from. Well,
Edinboro University has a 'subway alumnus' in its own back­
yard who can rival any of these major-school sports support­
ers.
Edinboro's Super Booster is Bill Engh, who for the
past 43 years has been a faithful follower of the local universi­
ty's and high school's sports programs. Engh takes an interest
in all sports, but his favorite is football, especially Fighting
Scot style.
Engh loves watching the Scots play so much that he
has missed just two of their games - home and away - since he
moved to Edinboro in 1947. That's only two misses in 400
games, a remarkable achievement in any league.
"I love the game and I love Edinboro," says the 78year-old Engh from his home on Maple Drive. "Edinboro is
our home and even though we weren't alumni, we adopted
Edinboro as our team. I just took Edinboro under my wing as
an alma mater, that's all. I just enjoyed watching them play,
win or lose."
"I'd rather watch Edinboro play than pay $15 to see
the (Cleveland) Browns even though I am a Browns fan," he
continued.
Engh attends the games with his wife Gretchen, who
is Edinboro's second biggest booster. She has missed only
three of the games during the past 43 years. You could say it's
a marriage made for the gridiron.
"We're very compatible and anything I want to do
we'll do together," said Bill. "She didn't know anything about
football before she met me but now she knows as much as I
do. She enjoys the games, especially the halftime perfor­
mances."
One reason the Enghs follow the Scots wherever they
play is because they enjoy traveling. During the off season
they travel throughout the world by freighter. And it was
because of a freighter excursion that the Enghs missed one of
their games, the home opener in 1980. (Bill Engh missed his
first game sometime during the 1950s when he was bedridden
in the hospital.) The freighter trip nine years ago extended into

James H. McCormick
Chancellor

Greetings!
On behalf of the Board of Governors for the State System of Higher
Education and the Office of the Chancellor, I am pleased to welcome
you to this exciting athletic contest.
Athletics, as well as academic programs, play an important part in
reinforcing the skills and values needed to attain excellence. Commit­
ment, patience, and perseverance are requirements for success in the
classroom and the athletic arena.
The efforts of the young women and men who represent their univer­
sities deserve commendation. National champions, regional champions,
All-Americans, and top scholar athletes may be found throughout the
Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference. These students sacrifice in many
ways for the privilege of competing in intercollegiate sports. The blend­
ing of classes and competition as the foundation of the students’ educa­
tional experience requires special abilities. Their achievemenffs are
applauded.
Recognition must also be given to the excellent coaching staffs. It is
their know-how and leadership which make this competition possible.

In 1988:

KUTZTOWN DOWNS EDINBORO 34-22
lead. With a little over nine minutes left in the game, Kutz­
town closed the door on Edinboro when FB Joe Svede scored
on a 1-yard plunge to give the Bears a solid 34-16 lead,
Edinboro added a late-game touchdown when Galupi
tossed a 31-yard TD strike to the 'Boro's other WR, John
Toomer, That TD marked the last score of the game and the
final count was on the board, Kutztown 34, Edinboro 22,
Werley scored three of Kutztown's touchdowns, but
the offensive star for the Golden Bears was freshman Mark
Steinmeyer, The all-purpose back racked up 208 total yards in
numerous roles for KU, Steinmeyer carried the ball 13 times
for 56 yards, caught 5 passes for 69 yards, returned 2 punts for
33 yards, and had 3 kickoff returns for 50 yards, Werley fin­
ished the game with 92 yards on 18 carries and Bear QB Greg
Buchman was on the mark, completing 13 of 23 passes for
153 yards,
.
Edinboro was led by RB Elbert Cole, who gamed 68
yards on the ground and had 22 yards in punt returns, Cleve­
land Pratt was also a big gun for the Scots with 4 passes for 62
yards and an outstanding 189 yards in kick returns. Fellow
wideout John Toomer also caught 4 passes for 51 yards,
including the 31-yard TD, The win upped the Bears’ record to
2-2 as the Scots fell to 1-4,

Edinboro University's football team traveled to Kutztown in the fifth week of the season trying to stop the bleeding
after two consecutive losses. Playing without four defensive
starters, the game proved to be the low point of the season for
the Scots as they saw their record drop to 1-4 after a 34-22
loss to the Golden Bears, While it is difficult to label a loss as
a "turning point" in any season, the loss did prove to be the
impetus for better things to come for Edinboro as the Scots
went undefeated the rest of the season while Kutztown went
winless the rest of the way,
Kutztown started the scoring halfway through the
first period when defender Todd Hopkins recovered an Edin­
boro fumble in the end zone, taking advantage of an errant
'Boro screen pass to take a 7-0 lead. The Golden Bears upped
the margin to 13-0 after RB Eric Werley's 2-yard touchdown
run with just a minute left in the quarter.
However, kick returner Cleveland Pratt cut the lead
in half with an 87-yard return and Edinboro's initial score.
Still trailing 13-7 halfway through the second period,
Edinboro mounted a drive that would eventually see them take
the lead, Pratt, Edinboro’s starting wide r^eiver, caught a 15yard touchdown pass from QB Hal Galupi with 5:45 left in the
half, Scot kicker Darren Weber's PAT attempt was good and
the Clan led 14-13, But Kutztown was not down for long. The
Golden Bears drove the ball the length of the field on the next
drive, culminated by Werley's second TD run of the day. The
Bears were good on the two-point conversion attempt and
took a 21-14 lead,
Edinboro rounded out first half scoring when Scot
special teams standout Jason Benham blocked a Kutztown
punt out of the end zone for a safety. The score at halftime
was Kutztown 21, Edinboro 16,
Kutztown scored first in the second half with Wer­
ley's third TD of the game - another 2-yard run. The PAT
failed and the Bears led 27-16, For the next 15 minutes, the
game was played even as the Scots could not cut into the KU
