Looking to contain the potent Scot attack will be the
Flames of Liberty. Led by fifth-year head coach Morgan Hout
(12-26-1), Liberty brings some very talented defensive per­
sonnel into today's contest
The defense will be led by senior comerback Richard
Shelton and linebacker Mickey Paige. Shelton led last year's
team with six interceptions and was among the national lead­
ers in punt returns in Division II, averaging 14.1 yards per
return. Paige, an inside linebacker, did not play against the
Scots last season but still managed to lead the squad in tack­
les. Starting just seven games in '87, Paige was credited with a
school-record 150 tackles, including 64 solo stops.
Also leading the charge on the defense will be
linebacker Dwight Jones. Jones, a teammate of Paige since
high school, was fourth on the squad in tackles last season
credited with 83 tackles and a team-high two fumble recover­
ies. Led by Shelton, the strength of the Rames squad this sea­
son will be their secondary. Also returning will be comerback
Donald Smith. Fifth on the team with 78 tackles last season.
Smith also set a school record with five blocked kicks.
At free safety. Liberty returns an outstanding athlete
in senior Donald Lindsey. Second on the squad with 95 stops a
year ago, Lindsey led the team with 10 pass deflections.
The Rames are not lost for talent on the offensive
side of the ball. Look for quarterback Paul Johnson to lead the
team at Edinboro today. Johnson, beginning his third year as
the LU starter, has accumulated 3,751 yards through the air
during his career for 16 touchdowns and a 53.5 completion
percentage.
When the Rames are not throwing, look for ranningbacks Charles Dorsey and Charles McCray to get the call.
Dorsey was tough on the Scots last season mshing just three
times for 67 yards on the Rames' game-winning drive.
In the receiving ranks, the Rames will have to find a
replacement for wideout Scott Queen who has decided not to
return to school. Johnson's target will likely be tight end Eric
Green, who stands 6-6 and weighs over 260 pounds. Green
caught 19 passes for 229 yards and two touchdowns last sea­
son, including a 13-yard TD reception against the Fighting
Scots.
Defensively for the Plaid, plenty of changes have
taken place to start the 1988 season. Returning linebacker A1
Donahue (150 tackles) has moved to the outside spot from the
interior, while OLB John Williams (66 stops) replaces him in
the middle. Joining Williams inside will likely be freshman
Drew Hibbert (6-0,205) out of Clewiston, Rorida.
Up front for the Plaid, the Scots will return tackles
Mark Jozefov (69 stops) and Chip Conrad (57 tackles). Jozefov, just a freshman last year, led the squad with nine tackles
for loss and was tabbed on the second team of the PSAC
Western Division all star squad. The end positions will likely
be anchored by a pair of newcomers in Bill Corbett and Jeff
Jacobs. Corbett saw limited action a year ago and Jacobs is a
converted offensive lineman.
The Scot secondary will be anchored by free safety
Mike Willis. Willis, a strong All-American candidate, is com­
ing off a knee injury which sidelined him in the fourth game
last year. Willis was tabbed first-team all PSAC in his only
complete season with the squad in 1986.
The Scots will host Saginaw Valley State University
next Saturday.

The Fighting Scots of Edinboro University open their
1988 season today as they battle the Flames from Liberty Uni­
versity (VA). Liberty travels from Lynchburg, and is looking
to make it two in a row against the Plaid.
Last season, the names edged the Scots 13-8 on a
rain-slick field in Virginia. Today also marks the first game
that Liberty will play as a Division I-AA member of the
NCAA.
Edinboro is hoping to get off on the right foot in '88,
trying to rebound from their 3-8 slate of a year ago. Liberty
posted a 3-7 mark last season.
The Scots will be playing their initial contest under
the direction of first-year head coach Tom Hollman. Hollman
comes to Edinboro from Ohio University and is anxious to
start his days as a Fighting Scot.
"Playing a tough non-conference opponent like Lib­
erty today can only help us down the road in the PSAC (Penn­
sylvania State Athletic Conference,)" Hollman stated. "I am
very excited about getting the season under way. The squad
has worked very hard to get here, and it will be nice to play
and see how we measure up."
The Plaid will bring a different offensive look to the
'88 season, with the team set to show a variety of sets in
today's game. One thing is certain - the Scots will be handing
off to all-Conference runningback Elbert Cole and his backfield mate Chris Conway.
Cole led the Scots with 635 yards on the ground last
year and scored eight touchdowns. He was also the team's top
threat out of the backfield, catching 24 passes for 251 yards
and one score. Conway, just a sophomore, rushed for 185
yards last season and scored once on the ground while grab­
bing 14 passes for 140 yards and a pair of scores. Both backs
have big-play abilities.
The quarterbacking duties for the Scots have been
shared by junior Jim Ross and sophomore Hal Galupi. Ross
completed 147 passes last year for 1,903 yards and 12 scores,
while Galupi saw limited action. This season, the Plaid has the
pleasure of having two quarterbacks ready to play. Both are
expected to see action today.
Up front offensively, the Scots are likely to start
some familiar names from a year ago. Returnees Joe Brooks
(guard). Dean Gallagher (guard), Ron Hainsey (tackle) and
all-Conference performer Mark Courtney (tackle) are expect­
ed to get the nod. Dave Pinkerton has been working out at
center during pre-season camp and looks to have the edge
going into today's game. Guard Brad Powell will also see
plenty of action.
The receiving corp should be strong for the Scots
with tight end Brian Ferguson likely to get the start. Randy
Mcllwain has looked strong in pre-season and will see plenty
of time as well. The outside receiving spots are likely to be
held down by a pair of veterans in Cleveland Pratt and John
Toomer.
Pratt was fifth in the nation in kickoff returns last
season and has great speed at the split end spot. Pratt grabbed
20 passes for 245 yards and one score last year, while Toomer
latched on to 19 passes for 314 yards and a trio of scores.
Pratt, the 1(X) meter sprint champion in the PSAC last year,
gives the Scots the deep threat wWle Toomer is considered the
squad's possession receiver. Merrell Davis gives the team
great depth at the wide out spot

The Cosby
Show

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 continu^ 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.

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 initiated the University Honors Program to
provide challenging and enriched learning experiences for
academically gifted students. Undergraduate students 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.

Edinboro has the distinction of being the second normal
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 modem seven-story
stmcture which serves as a focal point for the spacious cam­
pus. Nearly 6,500 students representing almost every county
in the Commonwealth, as well as numerous states and foreign
countries attend Edinboro. Its tradition of educational service
and research is matched by a distinguished faculty, more than
two-thirds of whom have earned doctoral degrees.

Although the costs for attending Edinboro rank among
the lowest in the Commonwealth, over $12,000,000 in finan­
cial aid is available annually to eligible students.

The University now offers more than 100 undergraduate,
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,
Edinboro now makes contributions in the fields of education.

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.

SCOTS HAVE "HIT MAN" IN MIKE WILLIS
three passes broken up, and one interception. He was simply
all over the field. During his first year in '86, Willis called the
defensive coverages in the secondary, a great responsibility
for a first-year player.
"Sometimes you have to make a sight-adjustment
when the offense goes into a different formation, so I have to
change the coverage to better suit our defense," Willis com­
ments.
Last year, in '87, Willis returned for what looked like
a banner year for the free safety. Through three games last
year, the Scots were 2-1 and Willis had already been credited
with nearly 40 tackles. In game four, at Slippery Rock, the
Scots not only suffered a heart-breaking 36-35 loss, but they
also lost Willis for the year. "The knee again," Willis said. "I
didn't need surgery, but I was lost for the year. It Was pretty
tough to take."
How valuable? With WiUis in the lineup for the Scots
last season, the team gave up just 10 points per game, ^thout
him 31.6 ppg. He may not have been the sole reason for the
defensive decline, but it sure hurt to lose a leader like Willis.
In '88, the "leader" role is back with Willis. "I don't
really feel any added pressure," he states. "I am not the type to
lead by voice, but instead by my actions. If I go out and play
hard in practice and in games, the younger players will see the
results.
"As a team, we want to forget about last year, so it is
not discussed. Our coaching staff and players know that we
have a winning program, and we all plan on doing something
about it," Willis said. "This is a new beginning for our ball
club, and we are all looking forward to it. There is a challenge
ahead for this football team, and we are ready to meet that
challenge."
As a person, it is a pleasure to meet Mike Willis, but
as an opponent, it is an entirely different story. Listen closely,
the "hit man" will be heard from all year long.

Mike Willis

As an opposing back or wide receiver, you may not
see Mike Willis coming, but sometimes you hear him.
He has the perfect disposition for a free safety . . .
very aggressive. Mike Willis does not understand half speed
or a "thud" scrimmage in p-actice. He goes all day, the same
way, all out, one speed.
"I am a firm believer in the old saying 'you play like
you practice'," Willis said. "I know that everytime I go out on
the field, I have to play hard to keep my position. There is
nothing handed to you here at Edinboro, you have to work as
an athlete to earn your position," he added. "The coaching
staff told us, you have to pactice hard to prove that you can
play, and this is OK with me."
Willis, the Fighting Scots' free safety, is just a junior
and will be strong All-American candidate before he leaves
the 'Boro. To some, he may already be at that level now. "I
have only seen him on film during spring ball last year and
now during camp, and he may just be the finest defensive
back that I have ever seen," first-year head coach Tom Hollman said. "He has a great sense for the football and is a true
leader on the field. He hits like a linebacker and has excellent
coverage sense for a safety."
Willis came to Edinboro in 1985 from Orlando Edgewater High School in Maitland, Florida. What brought such a
great athlete so many miles to play football? "Edinboro's repu­
tation," said Willis. "There were a couple of players from my
hometown area who were very successful at Edinboro, and
that's where I want to play. I have no regrets about travelling
this far to go to school - I'm getting a good education and
playing for a good team."
How valuable is Mike Willis to the Fighting Scot
football program? The facts do not lie.
After a knee injury kept him out of action for the
entire '85 season, Willis was named first team Pennsylvania
Conference Western Division in '86 in his initial season with
the squad. The Plaid was 7-3, 5-1 in the I*C West, and Willis
was #2 on the squad in tackles with 77. He recorded 38 solo
stops, including one behind the line of scrimmage. He was
also credited with one fumble recovery, one fumble cause.

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR JIM McDONALD
the Buffalo Bills annual rookie scrimmage, which has been a
yearly mid-summer highlight.
The personable athletic director also introduced
Edinboro's Hall of Fame program which has evolved into an
annual year-ending event to honor present and past athletes.
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.
Prior to accepting his position at Edinboro, McDonald
served as assistant basketball coach in Erie, Pa. He is a 1956
graduate of Bridgeport High School in his home town of
Bridgeport, West Virginia.
In 1960 he received a degree in chemistry and physical
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 2.6 million dollars has
been raised during the past five 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 mem­
bership 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.
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.

In addition to maintaining Edinboro's respected winning
tradition in intercollegiate athletics, the former health and
physical education professor has vastly expanded the
University's summer activities.
Forty-four camps were sponsored by the Fighting Scots
Booster Club this past summer on the University's campus.

A LOOK AT THE 1988 SEASON
one score, while also caught 14 passes for 140 more and two
touchdowns.
The Plaid will also have great skill at the wide out posi­
tions. Seniors John Toomer and Cleveland Pratt return for
their final season. Toomer averaged 16.5 yards per catch last
season with three touchdowns, while Pratt caught 20 passes
for 245 yards and one score. Pratt, the PSAC champion in the
100 meter dash, will also return kickoffs for the squad. In '87,
Pratt was the fifth in the country in kickoff returns, averaging
26.9 ypr on 26 returns, inducing a 100-yard score against
Lock Haven.

The scenario is a familiar one for the Edinboro University
football team approaching the 1988 season. A new coach, new
offensive and defensive systems, and a squad dominated by
underclassmen will make a run at the Western Division title of
the rugged Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference.
A stiff challenge is ahead for first-year head coach Tom
Hollman and his Fighting Scot squad, but do not count them
out A host of skill people return on the offensive side of the
ball and the defense has added key personnel to try and fill the
holes.
"I understood the challenge when I took the head coach­
ing position." Hollman said. "This is an institution that has a
winning tradition in all sports and football has been very suc­
cessful. As for the '88 season, I feel that we had an excellent
spring session with a fine group of athletes and young men.
We accomplished what we had to, to prepare us for the fall
schedule.
"We play a strong non-conference schedule that should
prepare us well for the league play," Hollman added. "The
coaching staff, players and I, are well aware of what lies
ahead for Edinboro football. Traditionally this program has
been a winner and that is where we plan on keeping it."
The 1988 schedule is solid for the Scots, with early tests
coming from NCAA Division I-AA opponent Liberty
University (VA) in the home opener September 3, followed by
a visit from Saginaw Valley State University (MI) on
September 10 for Parents' Day.
The Scots will then travel to New Haven (CT) before
opening conference play against PSAC champ lUP in Indiana
on the 24th. Kutztown will then follow to conclude their non­
league play, before the Plaid plays five consecutive confer­
ence games to conclude their 10-game slate. Clarion
(homecoming), at Lock Haven, Shippensburg, at California
and home against Slippery Rock dot the '88 schedule.

OFFENSIVE LINE
The Plaid will have to make improvement here if they are
going to contend for the title. The Scots ran for just 123.2
yards per game last season, a total much lower than normal
for the run-oriented squad. All-conference selection Mark
Courtney will return at tackle to anchor the front, as will cen­
ter Joe Brooks, guard Dean Gallagher and tackle Ron Hainsey.
A year of playing together will likely help this group.
Tightend Brian Ferguson (11 catches for 164 yards, 1 TD) will
also return up front. Ferguson and Randy Mcllwain will hold
down the TE spot.
KICKING GAME: PLACEKICKING
Sophomore Darren Weber, from nearby Erie, PA, will
likely win the honors here. His 52-yard field goal last year
against lUP is a school-record and is tied for second on the
all-time PSAC list. For the year, Weber connected on 7-of-14
FG tries and 25-of-26 extra points for a 46 point total, second
best on the squad in '87.

Open 24 Hours

The Scots will have to find the personnel up front to con­
tain the running game. Last season the Plaid surrendered too
many yards on the ground to contend. Second team All-PSAC
selection Mark Jozefov will return at tackle to anchor the inte­
rior. Jozefov recorded 69 tackles last season as a freshman and
led the squad in tackles for loss with nine. Defensive end Bill
Clark, recovering from ankle surgery in the off season, will
also return to the front. Clark tallied 68 stops in '87.
DE Kurt Schmidhamer, who played in just seven games
last year as a frosh, could be the Scots' force up front this sea­
son. He recorded 33 stops and recovered a fumble in his limit­
ed action last season.

The Scots will be solid at quarterback with the constant
development of junior signal-caUer Jim Ross and sophomore
Hal Gdupi. Ross broke school records in attempts and yards
passing, while Galupi gained valuable experience down the
stretch of the '87 season and will likely push Ross for the top
spot.
Ross connected on 147-of-276 passes last season for
1,903 yards and 12 touchdowns. He threw for over 173 yards
per game and tossed 13 interceptions in the Scots 11-game
schedule. Galupi played in just two games, completing over
50% of his passes for 145 yards and one score.
At runningback, the Scots could be considered one of the
best in the league. First-team All-PSAC back Elbert Cole
returns for his junior year, and should be better than ever. Cole
rushed for 635 yards on 140 attempts last season, with eight
touchdowns and a 4.5 yard per-carry mark. He was also the
teams' leading pass receiver, grabbing 24 receptions for 251
yards and a score. The Plaid will obviously rely on Cole a

Could be the strong point for the Scots' defense in '88
with the return of second team All-Conference performer A1
Donahue. As a freshman last season Donahue was outstanding
for the Scot defense. He led the squad with 150 tackles,
including 79 solo stops. He had a pair of interceptions, two
sacks, seven tackles for loss, a fumble recovery and five pass­
es broken up to his credit. The Scot defensive plan may be to
move Donahue to the outside linebacking spot.
OLB John Williams, who has been in the Scot lineup
since his freshman year, will also return to the LB crew.

Williams registered 66 tackles in '87, including a pair of sacks.
He also was credited with one interception, four passes broken

The Scot coaching staff recruited this position very heavi­
ly for the upcoming season and should likely field another
quality freshman to fill the void. Veteran Larry Wanat, 14

SECONDARY
A major loss to the Plaid defense last season was the loss
of safety Mike Willis, when he went down with injury against
Slippery Rock. The Scot defense gave up an average of just
ten points per game with Willis in the lineup last season, as
compared to 31.6 ppg with him on the bench. A junior this
season, Willis was tabbed first-team All-PSAC in '86.
Seniors Mikel Green (42 tackles) and Claude Webb (18
tackles and two interceptions) will also return to the defensive
secondary. If there is a veteran area on the Fighting Scot squad
it is the secondary.

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 to Greenville High
School in Ohio where he became head coach from 1971-73.
His Greenville squads posted an impressive 26-2-2 mark dur­
ing his three-year stay.
HoUman then moved on to Fremont Ross High School as
head coach for the 1974 and 1975 seasons, where his squad
recorded 15 wins against three setbacks and two ties. Fremont
was the Buckeye Conference champs in '74, unbeaten at 9-01.

The following year, Hollman accepted / the head coach
position at Wooster CoUege (OH) and guided his squad to the
best four-year record in the school's history (24-11-1).
Tom HoUman

In 1981, Hollman took an assistant coaching spot with
Ball State University which he held through the '84 campaign.
Then, beginning in 1985 HoUman held the defensive coordi­
nator position at Ohio University.

In January, 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.

Looking ahead to the 1988 football campaign, the Scots
wiU return a wealth of talent at the skill positions, hoping to
improve on their 3-8 slate of a year ago.

"I am very excited to be here, ” Hollman commented. "I
have been very impressed with the people I have come in con­
tact with here at Edinboro University. I am looking forward to
having the opportunity to run a solid football program."

"It has been a very comfortable transition for me,"
HoUman added. "I have found the community to be supportive
and the administration is giving me every opportunity to be
successful here at Edinboro," he concluded.

"As a coach, I have been fortunate to coach at many dif­
ferent 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 feel one of the most important things about football on
the Division II level is to make it fun for the players involved.
My initial goal for this team is to make football an enjoyable
environment for the team and coaching staff," Hollman added.
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 education from
Ohio Northern University in 1968. Three years later Hollman
received his master of science degree in education from
Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Exceeds Supply

>y Nick Pugliese,
Tampa (Fla.) Tribune

Nebraska isn't the only school where de­
mand exceeds supply for college football
tickets year after year after year. Most of the
programs that lead the nation in attendance
annually have several things in common: a
long history of success, an ideal location and
stadiums with large seating capacities,
though the latter isn't always tme.
Take Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish
have been playing in the same 59,075-seat
stadium since long before "Touchdown
Jesus" signalled his first score.
To satisfy the "Subway Alumni" who
have made the private Catholic school
popular from coast to coast, the seasonticket base has been frozen at 32,000, its
1966 level. In a computerized lottery, the

remaining 27,000 home-game tickets are
made available to alumni who have con­
tributed at least $50 to the athletic pro­
gram, with each alum limited to two $20
tickets per game. The "success rate," ac­
cording to former Notre Dame ticket
manager Mike Bobinski, is 40 percent,
meaning that if you request tickets for five
home games, you might get to see two.
"Our constituency is nationwide,"
Bobinski said. "People can't really come to
every home game. It's not practical. So we
do give them this individual-game option."
Bobinski, who moved to another position
in the Notre Dame athletic department last
spring after serving as the ticket czar for

id you hear the one about the
continued
newlyweds who were spend­
ing their honeymoon in Lin­
coln, Neb., and wanted to at­
tend a Comhusker football
game? The groom wrote to the University
of Nebraska athletic department asking for
a pair of tickets—^but if two weren't avail­
able, he'd settle for one.
Or how about the story of the Ohio
State University football fan who tried to
pick up season tickets by using the name
of a man who had been dead for more than
20 years?
Then there's the tale of the Michigan fan
who insisted he had accidentally flushed
his tickets down the toilet of a jet while
flying into town for a football game. He
wondered if he could pick up another
pair—on the 50-yard line.
When it comes to college football, there
are tickets and then there are hot tickets.
While the national champion University of
Miami might have trouble filling the Or­
ange Bowl for a late-season game against
Notre Dame, the Fighting Irish have sold
out every home game for the last 21 years.
While certain schools are lucky to put
30,000 fans in their seats on autumn Satur­
days, Nebraska's Memorial Stadium be­
comes the third-largest city in the state on
football weekends.
"It is a tough ticket to get," said Nebraska
ticket manager Joe Selig. "We're very happy
to be in this situation, but we do have excess
demand. I guess we're lucky. We do not have
a lot of competition from pro teams and oth­
er Division I programs within the state.
When Oklahoma visits Lincoln to battle the Comhuskers, Memorial Stadium becomes Nebraska's

four years, said that being the man behind
the ticket booth often means taking more
heat than the man behind the center takes.
"There were certainly some days, like the
home opener, which is usually against
Michigan or Michigan State, when you went
crazy," he said. "You can't find a ticket for
that one. The same for Southern Cal. Even
when both schools were having mediocre
years, it still was the thing to do. The South­
ern Cal game is the one to come back to for
the alumni. If we fill 20,000 orders for that
one, we turn back that many. It's impossible
to fill the demand."
Speaking of mission impossible, how
would you like to be Ohio State ticket

manager Paul Krebs? The Buckeyes could
sell 150,000 tickets for 85,000-seat Ohio
Stadium, and Krebs has had to turn down
as many as 5,000 alumni for a home game,
never mind those who have no ties to the
Big Ten school but simply would like to
see "script Ohio" in person.
"If you're not associated with the uni­
versity in some capacity, unfortunately,
you can't get tickets," Krebs said. "I used
to be the ticket manager at Oklahoma.
There was a great demand there, but I
don't think it can compare to the demand
for tickets at Ohio State."
Krebs said approximately 32,000 season
tickets are sold to former football players,
university contributors and alumni who
have been buying them for many years.
Another 25,000 tickets are set aside for the
students. (That is believed to be the largest
student season-ticket sale in the country.)
^The rest are sold on a priority basis—duespaying alumni are allowed to purchase two
tickets for gne home game per year.
"We could sell out the entire place with
season-ticket holders, but we don't allow
that," Krebs said. "We could have 10,000,
15,000, even 20,(KX) on a waiting list, if

there was one."
The hardest ticket to get in Columbus,
Ohio, comes every other year, when
archrival Michigan rolls into town.
"The demand for that one is unbeliev­
able," Krebs said. "We get people from all
over the country and even out of the coun­
try calling us for tickets. It's a tremendous
college rivalry, but we stick with our nor­
mal policy and hope for the best."
Michigan has led the nation in atten­
dance during the past two decades. Fifteen
of the last 16 years Michigan Stadium—the
largest college-owned football stadium in
the country—has been filled, with more
than 101,000 fans per game.
Accordingly, Michigan paces college
football with 92,000 season tickets, which
includes about 21,000 student tickets. With

It's the last game of the year and you build
up to it for 11 weeks. Number two, it's
simply a great rivalry."
Of course the Midwest isn't the only re­
gion of the country with filled-to-the-90throw football stadiums. The South has its
share of hot tickets, with none harder to
come by than those at Tennessee's Neyland Stadium, where the Volunteers reguflarly play before 91,000 Rocky-Top
stomping fans.
"I've been here since 1970 and Tennessee
football has always had a big impact," said
UT ticket manager David Woodall. "We are
the only big university in the east Ten­
nessee area and we have the transportation
routes. Interstates 40, 75 and 81 all run
through town and that makes it convenient
to get here. It was when the interstates were
finished in the late 1960s that Tennessee
really started drawing big numbers and en­
larging the stadium."

the number of general admission tickets per

Notre Dame is visiting, that number may
fall as low as 1,000. You can bet the
scalpers are more zealous than one of
Coach Bo Schembechler's middle guards.
"As long as you're honest with people,
they understand," said A1 Renfrew, who
has been the ticket manager at Michigan
for 16 years. Renfrew also used to be the
school's hockey coach, and he wouldn't
say which job is more demanding.
"The reason we can't sell more tickets is
that we give so many to Ohio State or Notre
Dame or Michigan State when we play
them," Renfrew said. "When we play North­
western, they only want 1,(XX) tickets and we
have 5,000 to play with. We try to accom­
modate people and make them as happy as
we can. The fans are very fair up here."
If any game brings out the aspirin bottie, it's the Ohio State game. "Two things J

their public and another 14,500 to their
students. They have also been known to
sell as many as 10,000 tickets to visiting
teams, especially when those visiting
teams are Southeastern Conference rivals
Alabama or Auburn.
There is a 95 to 98 percent renewal rate
among season-ticket holders, and the wait­
ing list, numbering 800 to 1,200 names, has
to be updated every year, with those donat­
ing money to the school getting priority.
A marketing study will be conducted this
season on a proposal to enlarge Neyland Sta­
dium by 17,000 seats to bring its capacity to
108,000 by 1990 when Notre Dame, Alaba­
ma and Florida visit Knoxville.
Heated rivalries usually bring out the
scalpers, with ducats selling in the three-fig­
ure range.
Though it has been decades since either
of the service academies battled for the na­
tional championship, the Army-Navy
game always plays to a sellout crowd in
Philadelphia. The cavernous Los Angeles
Coliseum might be half empty for many of
use's regular-season games, but there are
always 90,000-plus when UCLA comes
calling, whether the Rose Bowl is on the
line or not.
The city of Jacksonville might not boast
a football-playing major university, but it's
normally standing room only at the Gator
Bowl when SEC rivals Florida and Geor­
gia tee up in early November in a game
that has been billed as "the world's largest
outdoor cocktail party." Florida and Geor­
gia alumni have been known to stand out­

side the 80,000-seat stadium before game
time, just waiting to offer as much as $500
to a student for a ticket.
When it comes to bowl games, the hot
tickets are the ones for the traditional New
Year's Day contests, or the ones for games
that decide the national championship.
The Rose Bowl always draws a capacity
crowd of 104,000, and as jhany as 80,000
have jammed the Orange Bowl not only to
witness a big football game, but also to
watch the halftime extravaganza. Those
two games never have trouble filling seats,
and tickets normally sell for two or three
times their value in Pasadena and Miami
on January 1.
"We've hosted the national champi­
onship game four of the last eight years
and you better believe that's the hottest
ticket in town," said Orange Bowl publici­
ty director Ed Goss. "When Clemson
played Nebraska for the national title, tick­
ets that had a $25 face value were going
for $400 and $500 apiece.
"It's not unusual for me or anybody else
in this office to get a phone call from
someone who says, 'I don't know if you re­
member me„ but I met you at a cocktail
party and^f really wish you could help me
out with* a couple of tickets.' Others will
go through the normal channels or go
through the schools and none are there, so
they'll call someone from the media and
try to buy their tickets."
And because these hot tickets are so dif­
ficult to come by, there are devious fans
lurking outside stadiums from Maine to
California who will do anything to get
their hands on them.
"I guess my first Ohio State game was a
lesson to me," said Michigan's Renfrew.
"A couple, and they were very welldressed, came up to me and said they were
robbed at their motel. They said they had
no ID, no money and their tickets had
been stolen. I told them I'd try to help
them. So I killed a couple of seats and told
them they could send me the money when
they got home. Well, I never heard from
them again.
"This job really makes a Christian out
of you in a hurry." Q

NCAA TOUGHENS
ACADEMIC STANDARDS
by Bob Hentzen,
Topeka (Kan.) Capital-Journal

f you've got athletic-minded
youngsters, an appropriate gift be­
fore they enter high school might
be a framed copy of ;he NCAA's
Bylaw 5-1-(j).
/
It's not necessarily easy reading. But
your kids might someday wind up thank­
ing you for it. And college coaches will
appreciate your foresight.
Bylaw 5-l-(j) might be foreign to you.
Proposition 48 might be more familiar. It
was a proposition before it became a bylaw.
What it does is spell out the academic
requirements a high school athlete must
meet to qualify for a scholarship and be el­
igible as a freshman.
It involves grade point averages in core
courses and standardized college entrance
tests, the SAT or ACT.
Academics, in many cases, is not much
of a priority for youngsters when they enter
high school. That's probably especially true
for those who excel in athletics.
As SyracusS University coach Dick
MacPhersoo observed, "There's a strong
correlation between good football players
and bad students."
That's why many coaches were wary, if
not downright hostile, when Bylaw 5-l-(j)
was enacted in 1983 to take effect in 1987.
Not that coaches are opposed to aca­
demics, but they imagined a horde of the
best prospects might not be able to play im­
mediately. Would they lose them to junior
colleges and NAIA schools? Should they
recruit them anyway, counting against
scholarship limits, even though they could­
n't play or practice for a year? Or maybe at
all? And was the bylaw fair to aretes
coming out of disadvantaged high
schools?
Although some reservations exist, the
coaching fraternity has swung toward be­
ing a strong supporter of the bylaw.
"The coaches have accepted it very
well, the second year more so than the
first," said Charlie McClendon, the for­
mer LSU coach who is now executive

STANDARDS
continued
director of the coaches' association, "Ev­
erybody understands it now. And the word
is getting out to the high school level.
Academics are going to be better."
That's the key—the word is getting out
to the kids that their high school academic
performance is important to their college
athletic future. It's up to them.
The NCAA sends out a pamphlet de­
scribing the requirements to the principal
and guidance counselor at every high
school in the nation.
LSU coach Mike Archer says that he is
sending out his own letter to the high schools
in his prime recruiting area—^Louisiana and
Texas. But he also says he is disappointed in
the results.
"Either they don't care or are not con­
cerned about athletes," he charged. "This
year 30 percent hadn't taken the test [SAT
or ACT] when we contacted them."
A high school student can take the test
as early as his junior year. It is possible to
take it five times, but not after graduation.
"Some kids think it [the bylaw] will be
abolished," said Archer, "but it's not going
to be abolished. In the long run, it is good
for college athletics when you look at it in
terms of athletes having the opportunity to
succeed in their lives."
Archer pointed out that the bylaw has
changed recruiting. "It used to be, 'Who is
the best player?'" he said. "Now we spend
as much time with the counselor as with
the head coach."
Oklahoma State coach Pat Jones agrees.
"You'd rather not take the risk on the guy
with the awful transcript," he said. "I think
everybody is doing that."
Texas-El Paso coach Bob Stull likes the
hylaw for two reasons: "The first is that it
makes high school kids take good courses;
they've got to take math, science and En­
glish," he said. It makes them prepare for
college work. And with satisfactory
progress [another rule], as long as they
stay eligible it's impossible not to graduate
in five years.
"The second is that I don't have the
temptation of looking at guys who can't
qualify. It makes it easier on us. We have a
better quality student-athlete to work with."
Syracuse's MacPherson is a firm sup­
porter of the message the bylaw delivers.
"The more you demand of a kid, the more
you can get out of him," he said. "This is
beautiful. Keep pushing it up [the academ­
ic standards]."
But MacPherson is one of many coaches
who question the fairness of the standardized
tests. 'Tm a firm believer in the core cur­
riculum," he said. "I have a real problem,
though, with the SAT. We've got to live with

it because I don't know the answer."
The early evidence is that the bylaw af­
fects minorities the most.
With 88 percent of the Division I
schools responding to an NCAA survey, it
was discovered that in the first year of the
bylaw 254 football players did not qualify.
By race, 205 were black, 33 white and 16
other.
The grade point average in core courses
disqualified 30 blacks, eight whites and
three other minorities. The standardized
test scores disqualified 144 blacks, 19
whites and nine other minorities. Failing
to meet both requirements were 31 blacks,
six whites and four other minorities.
"It's a good rule; it's forcing high school
students to be better students," said Ore­
gon coach Rich Brooks. "But it still has
problems in that the tests are racially bi­
ased. Hopefully, something can be worked
out to alleviate that."
The other questionable aspect of the by­
law is the provision that the athlete can't
practice with the team while establishing
eligibility.
"They should be able to practice," said
Oklahoma State's Jones. "You've got to al­
most work to keep them away. It's not easy
on the youngster at all."

But UTEP's Stull sees the other side of
the coin. "All they can do is concentrate
on lifting [weights] and studies," he said.
"They are getting bigger and stronger
without thq pressure of getting ready to
play. And ^ey've raised their grades."
The bylaw already has been tinkered
with. For instance, an athlete with a better
than 2.00 grade point average in the core
subjects has reduced minimums on the
standardized tests. And vice versa.
There could be other revisions. One
proposal is to allow the athlete to take part
in spring practice if his grades were in or­
der the first semester.
Most coaches who have signed non­
qualifying players are pleased with their
academic progress. "The first year we had
four," reported Oregon's Brooks. "One
flunked out and three are doing well, one
with a 3.0 GPA."
But with the bylaw still new, the results
are far from in on its long-range ramifica­
tions. (The NCAA's study will cover 10
years.)
The bottom line, though, is that the ba­
sics of Bylaw 5-l-(j) are here to stay. And
that's why a copy, framed or otherwise,
ought to be in every school and every
home with athletes. □

Ojficially Speaking

THE MEN IN THE
STRIPED SHIRTS
r

“T

t's a pity that college football
officials weren't around during
Shakespearean days. If they had
been, maybe Will would have
altered his "Let's kill all the
lawyers" line to include officials.
Let s face it, at some time during some
game, every college football fan has felt
like mshing onto the field and wringing the
neck of an official who has made a ques­
tionable call—particularly if the call has
been unfavorable to the fan's team. And
even more particularly if the outcome of
the game has hinged upon that call.
The tmth is, we don't even think about
officials until we disagree with them. What
a lousy job—tromping up and down a
muddy field through rain and snow and
sleet. A job that sets up the poor suckers
for the likelihood of being ridiculed, cursed
at, spat upon or smacked in the head with a
fiisbee, a football—or even worse, a stray
or not-so-stray elbow of a gargantuan
tackle. Who in his right mind would
willingly expose himself to such torture?
Lots of folks, that's who. According to
administrators for many of the country's
largest college football organizations,
conferences are repeatedly swamped with

I

applications for their precious few offici­
ating positions. The Big Ten, for instance,
averages 5,000 applications per season for
43 positions.
Once selected, an official must endure a
grueling training program, during which he
becomes a walking encyclopedia of football
procedures—cramming his cerebrum with
738 rules and 47 hand signals.
Seven officials rule every major college
football game: a referee, an umpire, a
linesman, a line judge, a side judge, a
field judge and a back judge. "In my opin­
ion, the football referee is the most
knowledgeable of all sports officials,"
said David Nelson, secretary/editor of the
football rules committee for the NCAA.
"There's so much going on out there on
the field, it's hard to fathom. There are
just so many complexities in this game."
Expertise is only part of the allure of
officiating.
"I don't think there's any question why
people want these jobs," said Gene Cal­
houn, supervisor of football officials for the
Big Ten. "There's just no feeling that's equal
to standing on the field before a game like
the Rose Bowl and hearing 'God Bless
America.' And during the game, making the

correct calls gives one such a tremendous
sense of challenge and accomplishment. It's
such a strange crossover, struggling for
achievement and struggling for anonymity.
Overall, I tljilik there's no more exhilarating
high in the World."
Calhoun claims the world of college
football officiating is still unchartered ter­
ritory for females. "I would be the first to
encourage women to enter the field, but it
just hasn't happened yet," explained Cal­
houn. "So far, women just don't have the
necessary experience. They need to come
up through the ranks. And they have to be
ready to rough the conditions on the field.
An official must be incredibly tough. He
could get killed out there—literally.
"Officials have also got to be able to
keep cool under great pressure," Calhoun
said. "For example, if the game is on the
line in the last few minutes, you've got to
be able to make the correct call, even if
everyone hates you. At that point, getting
off the field is the toughest thing you have
ever tried to do in your life."
Officials sure aren't in the business for
the money. An average salary for an offi­
cial is around $300 to $350 per game, plus

keeping real careers.
So remember, the next time you're tempted to toss beer on an of­
ficial, keep in mind that he may be as average as the guy next door.
Or maybe not...
Walt Wolf is the Marco Polo of college football officials. Wolf,
a Pac-10 official since 1972, has lead a life that rivals the most
audacious of adventurers.
The 48-year-old vice president of Rogers & Rogers Inc., an inter­
national construction firm, has enough stories to fill 10 books and a
few screenplays. His officiating work is merely a sideline.
Not that he doesn't love officiating. "It's a great thrill to be down
there on the field, with 85,000 people in the stands going nuts," said
Wolf, a resident of Spokane, Wash. "No matter what happens,
you've always got to have your senses about you."
Wolf has had a lot of practice keeping his senses. Since an early
age he had no choice but to become a fighter. When he was eight,
he was stricken with an undiagnosable condition that prevented his
legs from functioning, and was confined to the Shriner's Hospital in
Portland, Ore. for nearly a year.
After a full recovery and many years of outstanding athletic
accomplishments, he became an all-state football talent in Oregon,
and then attended the University of Oregon on a football scholar­
ship. In 1960, however, an auto accident left him with a concussion
and many broken bones, ending his football career.
He graduated in 1962 with a degree in business and decided to
take off for the "Land Down Under." "Four of my college buddies
and I thought we were going to set the world on fire," he said. "We
decided to do whatever it took—build hamburger stands, laundro­
mats ..."
The buddies backed out on him, so Wolf tackled Australia on his
own. "I had a one-way ticket and no money, so I was in no position
to start a business," he explained. "I got a job with an aluminum
company in its marketing research division."
After three years, his wanderlust overtook him, so he moved on
to India, and eventually to the Middle East, surviving financially by
selling his own blood, sheepskin Jackets and "anything legal." In Is­
tanbul he met a woman named Toby who had grown up in Seattle.
"I was going one way around the world, and she was going the
other," Wolf explained. They spent 11 days together and parted.
Wolf wandered on to Rome. On Easter Sunday in 1965, he at­
tended Mass at St. Peter's and was more than a bit surprised to find

Toby sitting eight rows behind
him. Each had no idea the other
would be there.
For a year they traveled to­
gether throughout the Middle
East, Yugoslavia and Spain.
Then they returned to the United
States, where they were married
in 1967. Their daughter, Sarah,
was bom the following year.
Since then, he and Toby have
formed two of their own interna­
tional trading companies.
Wolf says he stumbled into
football officiating because a
friend bet him $25 that he

were in cahoots, and I thought
officials were very responsible people. So I bet him that I could be­
come an official," said Wolf.
His friend's $25 loss is college football's gain.
"I want to put back into a game at least a bit of what the game
has given me," he said. "I know I'll never tire of the excitement of
the game."
So what does a man-on-the-go like Wolf do in his leisure time?
He golfs, plays tennis and handball, and enjoys white-water raft­
ing—in the Fiji Islands.
Doug Rhoads can't come to the phone because he's busy prepar­
ing documents for Congressional testimony. He's a supervisory spe­
cial agent for the FBI, in charge of a nationwide human resources
and recruitment program at FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C.
Rhoads has also served as a football official in the Atlantic Coast
Conference for 12 years.
He gushes over his avocation. "I love the college football scene,
pure and simple," he said. "It's a real rush going to a college foot­
ball town on a Saturday afternoon and being a part of the atmo­
sphere—the athletes, the college alumni, the students, the
community. Hey, it's fun."
Rhoads never planned on becoming an official. After graduating
from the University of Florida in 1966 with a degree in journalism,
he was sent to Vietnam for a three-year tour of duty in the Army.
In 1969 he started his career in Dallas as an FBI agent, and then
moved on to Lubbock, Texas; Charlottesville, N.C.; and finally to
Washington, D.C.
It was during his stay in Charlottesville that he kicked off his of­
ficiating work. He started by working scrimmages at the University
of Virginia before moving up to the ACC.
"I'm very proud of the accomplishment," Rhoads said. "The ACC
selects only a small group of officials. Thousands of people want to
do what I do."
Of course he takes a lot of ribbing about his real job. "If I make a
controversial call. I'll often hear comments like, 'Hey, Rhoads, it's too
bad you didn't get called out on special assignment today,'" he said.
"Officiating is a tremendous diversion for me. After putting up
with a week full of headaches at work, I enjoy getting into my game
mode. My whole mind-set changes."
Rhoads is a great believer that humor can alleviate much of a
game's stress. "Normal fans have a humorous acceptance of your
role as an official," he said. "I basically just tune out the screaming
maniacs. And coaches are usually no problem. The best thing I can
do is show them that I'm a real person, not some robot out there
making calls."
He does recall one unfavorable encounter with a coach. "I'm a

An official can be the average guy next
door—or he can be like Walt Wolf

back judge, so part of my job is to count
the number of players on the field," he ex­
plained. "Well, once I counted a team that
had 10 players out there. As the 11th man
was running onto the field, the opposing
coach went bonkers, screaming at me,
'That's the 12th man! You can't count!!'
He was really going crazy, but I kept my
cool. I bet him $10 that when he watched
the game film, he'd find out that I was
correct. A few days later, I got a note
from him saying, 'You were right; I was
wrong,' and a $10 bill."
Rhoads said his FBI job has helped out
his officiating from a physical standpoint.
"We have to take regular fitness tests at
work, and being in shape obviously helps
me on the field."
In his spare time, Rhoads plays tennis,
golfs, and goes boating with his three
children.
"Officiating has been beneficial to me
in many aspects of my life," he said.
"When you think about it, it's really not
that much different from the personal or
business world," Rhoads explained. "A
football game is just a microcosm of life."

Jim Kemerling knows all about the
pressures of the business world. As the

president and chief executive officer of
the Mosinee Paper Corporation in Mosinee, Wis., he manages 1,300 employees
and is responsible for $240 million in
sales.
Kemerling, 49, has officiated in the Big
Ten since 1979.
"Of course my career comes first, but
my college football officiating is certainly
a great release valve for me," he said. "I
find that I apply the same skills I've
learned as a business manager to the foot­
ball world.
"When I leave work on Friday after­
noon, I'm thinking football, not business.
It's such a different world from the aver­
age work day."
The upward mobility expert says he
never had a desire to move up to become
an NFL official. "Pro football is more like
a business," he said, "and I get enough of
that on a daily basis. But college football
involves amateurs. It's more fun.
"I get high just being around college
campuses. The cheerleaders, the alum­
ni—it's a great atmosphere."
Kemerling is no stranger to big-time
college sports. While working toward a
degree in economics at Michigan State
University, he was a catcher for the base­
ball team. When he moved on to earn an
M.B.A. from the same school, he decided
to earn some extra money ($20 per game)
by officiating at intramural football
games.
"I always understood the game," he ex­
plained, "but it's much different to really
understand the rules. Like most players, I
played football, but I didn't know the
rules. I've found that with each passing
year officiating grows easier."
Athletic prowess runs in the Kemerling
family. His son, Mark, was an all-state
football player and his twin daughters,
Karen and Kristen, are also athletic. His
wife of 26 years, Jan, supports all of
them, and often travels with Kemerling to
his football assignments.
"Officiating has really been an asset to
me in so many ways," he said. "It's really
a part of my life. And it's nothing but a
benefit for me in the business world," he
explained. "It certainly can't hurt when
customers, employees and suppliers say,
'Hey, Jim, I saw you on TV on Saturday.'"
It's difficult to detail all of Tom
Robinson’s jobs. He's a high school math
teacher. He's a basketball coach. He's the
business manager of his wife's
professional dance company. Oh, and he's
a college football official in the Western
Athletic Conference.

Robinson, 42, takes great pride in his
responsibilities. "Fairness and compe­
tence—that's what drives me," he said
"When I'm officiating, I really enjoy b-.
ing in control. I'm not on a power trip
That's not the attitude to have at all. But
it's a great feeling to stay cool out there
on the field and not get intimidated."
He's always had an analytical mind.
After graduating from Regis Jesuit High
School in Denver in 1964, Robinson at
tended Colorado State University, where
he was an outstanding all-round athlete.
When he graduated from college, one of
his former high school teachers called and
asked him to return to Regis Jesuit to
teach mathematics and to coach the bas­
ketball team.
"There's so much mote to coaching
than just knowing the X's and O's," said
Robinson. "The biggest part of the job is
carrying on a good rapport with the team.
A lot of coaches know the game, but
leave their coaching jobs because they
have a tough time dealing with the kids.
My coaching experience has helped me a
lot in my officiating work."
In the early '70s, he started his officiat­
ing career by working local youth league
games and eventually high school games.
Then he decided to move up to the col­
lege ranks.
"Looking back on those first few
games, I realize how much I didn't know,"
he admitted. "I thought I was good then,
but I now see that I was truly a novice."
He can only recall one rough incident
in his of^ciating career. "Two seasons
ago, I ijiade a call against a perennial
power," Robinson explained. "I was fortu­
nate to be in the correct position to call an
ineligible-receiver-downfield offense. I
threw a flag. The coach was furious. He
came after me at halftime. Two reporters
heard the whole argument. To my sur­
prise, the coach viewed the game film and
printed a retraction in the newspaper."
Robinson's coaching and officiating ex­
ploits also call attention to the Cleo Park­
er Robinson Dance Ensemble, a modem
repertory company that his wife founded
in 1971. The renowned troupe receives
funding from the National Endowment
for the Arts and has traveled to Hawaii,
Nigeria and Malaysia.
"Cleo was so involved with the compa­
ny, I wanted to find a way to help out, so I
volunteered to be the business manager,"
Robinson said. "I don't dance, but she
sure does. All I know is that I love move­
ment—dancing, basketball, football—I
just love movement." Q

TIPS ON SHOOTING SPORTS
LENSES
FOR SPORTS
PHOTOGRAPHY

Let’s assume, for the sake of argu­
ment, that you’re pretty serious about
sports photography. If that’s the case,
you’ll be using a 35mm single-lens re­
flex camera. In part, that’s because
SLRs are about the most sophisticated
amateur cameras available. And in part,
you’ll choose an SLR because then you
can use interchangeable lenses.
What’s the big benefit? Well, suppose
you’re sitting underneath the backboard of a Lakers-Celtics showdown.
The standard issue 50mm lens will do
just fine as Larry Bird and Company
cross the half-court line, but what do
you do when the action is hot and heavy
under the boards? If you’ve got a 28mm
wide-angle lens in your bag, two twists
of the wrist and a quick swap can put
everyone in the picture. Or suppose
you’re at the Super Bowl, sitting in the
TOUCHDOWN

stands. The 50mm lens will do a decent
job on the bands at halftime, but if you
want to fill a frame with a third-quarter
tackle, you’d better have a 300mm tele­
photo handy.
Besides bringing distant action up
close or cramming nearby action into a
frame, auxiliary lenses have other bene­
fits. Wide-angle lenses—24mm, 28mm,
and 35mm—have an unusually deep
depth of field. If you’re concerned
about getting the foreground and the
background both in focus, but the light
is bad and you need a fairly wide
aperture, a wide-angle lens can make
the shot possible. For the same reason,
you can “zone” focus (focus in the
middle of an area you want to be sharp)
and know that a good deal of what’s
before the focal point—and even more
that’s behind the focal point—will be

good and sharp.
Telephoto lenses, not surprisingly,
have a shallow depth of field, so you can
throw the background out of focus on a
bright day by using a 200mm lens. And
since telephotos also make objects look
closer together, you can usfe them to
achieve dramatic effects.. ’ like stack­
ing the Bears’ defense to,make it look
even more imposing th^h it really is.
One thing to remember about tele­
photos: they’re very susceptible to vi­
bration. If you’re shooting at less than
1/500, use a tripod, a monopod, or rest
the lens on something solid.
Zoom lenses offer the best of both
worlds. They’re now available in focal
lengths that range from wide-angle to
short telephoto (say 28mm-85mm), or
from short telephoto to very long
(100mm-300mm). You’ll sacrifice an
aperture stop or two compared to sin­
gle focal length lenses, but you’ll have
unparalleled convenience and you’ll
save some cash, too. And you’ll have
the opportunity to experiment with
zooming during exposure, which can
produce some dramatic sports shots.
If you’re going to be shooting from
the stands,^ telephoto, zoom or single
length, i^^virtually a necessity. In such a
locatiorU, you won’t be able to get physi­
cally close enough to the action to get
any kind of impact in your shots. I’d
suggest you have at least a 200mm lens
for such occasions ... a 300mm would
be even better. If you’re working in tight
quarters—like right behind the net in a
hockey game or underthe backboard at
a roundball event—on the other hand, a
wide-angle lens is worth its weight in
gold.
You usually have the option of buying
an accessory lens made by your cam­
era’s manufacturer, one that’s part of
your camera’s “system,” or buying a
less expensive lens from an aftermarket manufacturer. The system lens
is often optically better because it can
be optimized for your specific camera.
On the other hand, the aftermarket lens
usually costs less. The choice is up to
you, but my preference is the system
lens if you can afford it. Spread out over
the life of the lens, the price difference
isn’t that much. □

Pregame: Bear in mind that the antici­
pation is always greater than the realiza­
tion. So you do look forward to the game.
You do believe that the game you are go­
ing to see will be an exciting, actionpacked, big-play, nail-biting, heart-stop­
ping, mind-boggling, film-caliber thriller.
If your team is an underdog, you do con­
template an upset of historic proportions.
If your team is the favorite, you do expect
Touchdown

a sound stomping of its foes.
Whatever the case, whatever your ex­
pectations, you don’t want parking prob­
lems, not to mention traffic problems.
Reaching your seat—a do or a don't?
Your seat may be a perilous climb from
the entrance—up or down. If it is and you
fear heights or have vertigo, count your
seat location as a don’t. But if you don't,
it's a do—because quite frequently while

walking up or down to your seat, you'll see
someone you haven't seen in a long time.
That will be nice (a do), unless that some­
one you haven't seen in a long time is
someone you never want to see again.
(Pure don’t, with style points for a success­
ful avoidance.)
The Game: Everybody likes to see the
kickoff A definite do. A kickoff is excit­
ing because it usually precipitates a kick­
off return. And kickoff returns can be very
exciting, obviously more exciting than the
kickoff, and most certainly more exciting
than the coin flip that determines who will
kick off. Very few people come to a col­
lege football game just to see the coin flip.
Unless it's their coin.
Trick plays are something everybody
enjoys at a college footba/1 game. The
Statue of Liberty. The Flea Flicker. The
Lonesome End. The Gregarious Tackle.
The Hail Mary. Those plays. Even when
they don't work, they are dos. But if they
do work against your team, they are
don’ts. You will consider them cheap
tricks. You will perceive the other team as
devious, mean-spirited, ill-prepared to
compete with your team in fundamental
football. But if your team pulls off a trick
play, you will consider this an act of so­
phistication, a sign of good coaching, a
true do.
Some teams run the ball more than they
pass the ball. More of you like to see a
pass than a run. When a runner runs, only
two things can happen: he will run and be
tackled, or he will run and be tackled and
fumble. Most ^runs look alike. Most runs
are alike, ^dns eat up the clock, and your
mind. Metre than three consecutive runs
are a don’t, unless the fourth run is for a
touchdown, although your attention may
have drifted by then.
Fumbles can be enjoyable. If you can
see them. If there is a fumble and you can
see the fumble and your team recovers the
fumble, whether it was the team that fum­
bled or not, this is a do. It is an occasion to
stand up and high-five your seatmate.
Some people can enjoy a college football
game too much and pummel their partner.
Whether you are the pummelee or the
pummeler, this is a don't. Also, it hurts.
Many fans have been laid low by high
fives.
If you're an overt high-fiver, this makes
you unruly. Nothing ruins a college foot­
ball game more than a truly unruly fan.
You can recognize the unruly fan early on.
You may, in fact, have spotted unruly fans
before the game during the traffic problem
or parking problem. They gesture from the
tops of cars, they jaywalk, their vehicles

occupy multiple parking spaces. Many un­
ruly fons go shirtless so that they can show
you how their torsos are painted with in­
signia indicating their team preference.
The most unruly fan of all is the unruly
fan who brings a portable radio to the
game and turns on the broadcast of the
game at peak volume—within inches of
your ear. Telling the unruly fan that the ra­
dio is annoying you could precipitate a
fight. If it does, you too have joined the
ranks of the unruly. Here we have the
definitive don’t.
"Ruly" fans are all right. Really "ruly"
fans are sensational, cheering at all the
right moments and booing when applica­
ble. "Ruly" fans are a do.
Halftime: At last it's here. An inventive
halftime show, an apocalypse set to a
rhythm and blues medley perhaps, is a cer­
tain do. You will enjoy the blazes out of it.
But if 500 double-time marching souls are
down there stomping to the score from
"Cats," you've got a drippy don’t on your
hands. Best thing to do if the latter occurs
is head for the concession stands.
The wise fan, the one resplendent in do,
will head for the concession stand with
about five minutes left to play in the first
half. This strategic gesture gets the fan to a
concession stand line only 2,300 people
long, practically guaranteeing a purchase
by midway through the fourth quarter.
Concession stands usually have several
lines. Each line moves at a different speed,
depending upon who is serving that line.
You will want to stand in the line that ap­
pears to be moving the fastest on the as­
sumption that you will get to the food
sooner. Don't. (A don’t.) The moment you
stand in this seemingly speedy line, the
line next to you will move more quickly.
You will enjoy yourself in a college foot­
ball game concession stand line if you tell
yourself it doesn't matter which line you
wait in. You will always pick the wrong
line. (A don’t in do’s clothing.)
Second Half: Now it's time to enjoy
yourself by selecting the game's hero and
the goat. If they can do it on network tele­
vision, so can you. You may wish to give
the hero your car, or contribute $5,000 to
your alma mater in the hero's name. If the
game's goat is on your team, you may
wish to contribute him to the other
school's scholarship fund.
If the game is dragging, slogging along
in one-sided fashion against your team,
you can pass the second-half hours by
reading the program. (A do—but consider
the source.)

WHEN FAIRY
TALES COME TRUE

by Ron Kroichick,
The Sacramento (Calif.) Bee

n the fairy tale she is unappreciated, unwanted and treated
with scorn. With apprehension she goes to the royal ball to
dance "as if in a dream." Ultimately, her dream comes true
when her graceful foot slips ever so comfortably into
the glass slipper and she wins the hand of the prince.
In college football a Cinderella team is also unappreci- f,
ated and unrecognized, initially. Then good fortune com- U
bines with newfound confidence, the dream comes true ^

I

and success reaches unexpected heights.
Really, there is little magic in a college football team's
swift transformation from the forgotten stepsister to the
charming princess. Throw in a few new players, a few timely
breaks, maybe some new strategy, limit the number of injuries,
and in just one year a team can rise from the ashes to the elite.
It has happened. Stanford was 1-7-1 in 1939—10-0 and Rose
Bowl champions the next season. Purdue followed a 1-8 season in
1942 with a 9-0 record the next. Those teams own the greatest
turnarounds in college football history, according to NCAA records.
But Cinderella has worn other uniforms, too. Houston went 10-2
and won the Cotton Bowl in 1976, only a year after losing eight of
10 games. Indiana finished 1-8-1 in 1966, a year before the
Hoosiers posted a 9-2 record and made the school's only appearance
in the Rose Bowl. San Jose State followed a 2-8-1 season in 1985
with a 10-2 campaign, capped by a triumph in the California Bowl.
" 'Cinderella' sounds like magic," said San Jose State coach
Claude Gilbert. "But it's really a combination of hard work and
good luck."
Often the combination produces a thrilling ride from anonymity
to fame. At Stanford in 1940, attention centered on World War II
and certainly not on the dismal football team of the prior year. Then
Clark Shaughnessy replaced C.E. Thornhill as coach, introducing
the revolutionary T-formation. The innovation changed both Stan­
ford's fortunes and football's future.
continued
Syracuse quarterback Don McPherson was instrumental in the Orangemen’s
undefeated 1987 season.
After a dismal ’39 season, Stanford lined up well against its 1940foes.

"My first recollection of 1940 is how
surprised everyone connected with Stan­
ford football was at the time," said Frankie
Albert, the quarterback who engineered
Shaughnessy's attack. "It was like a breath
of fresh air."
Indiana's Harold Mauro, a center on the
Hoosiers' 1967 team and now an assistant
athletic director at the school, vividly re­
members his team's improbable rise.
"The skywriters didn't believe in us, be­
cause they picked us to finish eighth or
ninth in the conference," Mauro said.
"When we were about 5-0, we started
reading articles about ourselves. It was ex­
citing. Once we started winning, it all built
to a crescendo."
Several components make for such a re­
markable turnaround. Among them:

Sudden Health
Cinderella teams have great doctors. Or,
in many cases, doctors with plenty of time
to roam the fairways.
Teams that make quick and dramatic
turnarounds usually enjoy a relatively injury-free season. They achieve their sud­
den success with nary a visit to the train­
ing room.
Syracuse's Dick MacPherson went
through his storybook 1987 season with
only one offensive player missing one
game because of an injury. A year earlier
the Orangemen had won just five of 11
games. MacPherson hardly had confidence
in his reserves entering 1987, but good
health shaped Syracuse's 11-0-1 season.
"The only problem we could have had
was depth," MacPherson said. "We were
plain lucky to be injury-free. We were just
riding it out, enjoying every minute of it."
Similar good fortune visited other Cin­
derella teams. Miami of Ohio lost 14
starters to injury during a dismal 3-8 sea­
son in 1976, its first losing season in 34
years. The next year, with the same per­
sonnel healthy, Miami went 10-1.
At San Jose State in 1985, Gilbert lived
Murphy's Law throughout the Spartans'
season. As the players disappeared onto
the injured list, Gilbert's characteristic op­
timism faded. His team finished the year
in a distinctly perplexed state.
"That was a train wreck of a season,"
Gilbert said. "It was one of those years
when everything went sour. It was frustrat­
ing and confusing for all of us. We lost 17
players with injuries, and every time one
guy went down we thought that would be
the end of it. It wasn't. We lost both start­
ing offensive tackles a week apart early in
the season, so we should have known we
were in trouble."
But a funny thing happened to Gilbert
and his troops the following year. Sudden­

ly they looked more like royalty than ruf­
fians. They suffered only one major injury
all season in 1986, quarterback Mike
Perez's separated shoulder in the ninth
game. But backup Tony Locy filled in ad­
mirably for Perez, who recovered in time
to lead the Spartans to victory in the Cali­
fornia Bowl.
"You certainly can't minimize the talent
factor, but the injury factor is probably the
No. 1 thing," Gilbert said of his team's
turnaround. "You obviously have to have a
lot of good fortune."
Indiana's Mauro knows firsthand about
the delicate texture of a turnaround. He in­
jured his knee in the first game of the 1966
season and had surgery that kept him out
of action until the next year. Similarly,

‘'Teams
wouldn't play
us that hard.
No one expected
us to be that good. You
could see it in their eyes.
It wasn't until the third or
fourth quarter that they
realized we were
that good, and
by then it was
too late."
—Mike Perez

three of Mauro's teammates went down
against Michigan State in 1966. They all
returned for an improbable joyride in
1967, a season that has become legendary
in Hoosierland.
"I run into people on campus these
days," Mauro said, "and they say, 'Oh, I re­
member you from that Rose Bowl team.' It
was exciting."
Odd Doings
Mauro likes to talk of his team's brash­
ness, of its tendency to waver from Coach
John Pont's plans. Cinderella teams, after
all, rarely achieve greatness in convention­
al ways.
Once, Indiana quarterback Harry Gonso

In 1967 Indiana quarterback Harry Gonso
thrilled fans with surprise plays, and led the
Hoosiers to a 9-2 record.

faked a field goal—without telling even his
teammates. "We were all blocking, and sud­
denly there goes Gonso, running around
end," Mauro said, still flabbergasted.
The Hoosiers won several games in the
final minutes that year, inspiring the nick­
name, "The Cardiac Kids." They reveled
in the unlikely season of success. "The
guys had the gutsiness to take Coach
Pont's abuse when things were bad and to
take charge when things were good,"
Mauro said.
Other unusual circumstances have con­
tributed to quick turnarounds. Purdue re­
versed its fortunes with an assist from a
grim event. World War II. After a dismal
1942 season, the Boilermakers unexpect­
edly took on several players for just one
year. Guard Alex Agasi and fullback Tony
Butkovich were two stars who breezed in­
to West Lafayette for that one magical
year, 1943, when Purdue won all nine of
its games and shared the Big Ten title. The
next year, after Agasi, Butkovich and oth­
er players departed for war service, the
Boilermakers went 5-5.
Perhaps the most unique motivation for
a Cinderella team spurred Houston to its
turnaround in 1976. The 2-8 Cougars of
the previous year became the 10-2 South­
west Conference champion Cougars. They

literally had no chance to win the confer­
ence in 1975 because Houston then was
still an independent.
After many years of politicking, the
Cougars were finally voted into the SWC.
Coach Bill Yeoman used the event as a re­
cruiting tool, lured top players to Houston
and roared to a triumph over Maryland in
the Cotton Bowl. Along the way the
Cougars dumped Texas, 30-0, in Austin,
the worst defeat the Longhorns have ever
suffered to Houston.
Thirty-five years earlier, on a campus

renowned for its academic ingenuity, Stan­
ford gained football fame through Shaughnessy's coaching innovations. Albert had
his limitations as a quarterback, something
he concedes even today. "I was pretty
much a ball-handler," he said. "I couldn’t
run very well."
But Shaughnessy designed his offense
to emphasize Albert's abilities. Just one
year after a tumultuous, disappointing sea­
son, Stanford rolled to an undefeated sea­
son, topped off by a 21-13 triumph over
Nebraska in the Rose Bowl.
"It was strictly Clark Shaughnessy's Tformation, and the way he moved players
around," said Albert, now retired and liv­
ing in Palm Springs, Calif. "The man had
an uncanny ability to spot a boy and
place him where he would do the team
the most good."

Newfound Confidence
As the neglected stepsister, Cinderella
teams hesitate to assert themselves during
their down seasons. Then, something trig­
gers a sudden confidence, a bravado usual­
ly exhibited only by proven teams.
Indiana's 1967 players gathered mo­
mentum from their dramatic comeback
style. Three times the Hoosiers scored a
touchdown in the last two minutes of a
game to snatch an unlikely win. Thus, in­
spired plays such as Gonso's fake field
goal and halfback John Isenbarger's forays
from punt formation suddenly showed the
Hoosiers' guile; a year earlier, they would
have been called "undisciplined."
"We had that special type of confidence
that's hard to put into words," Mauro said.
Pont, now a high school athletic director
in Ohio, joined 57 players from that Indiana
team at a recent reunion. There, he was able
to relive some of the magical season. At the
time, his was a celebrated Cinderella story,
one that prompted Pont to quip at midsea­
son, "I wish there were a book on this, so I
could read the next chapter."
Indiana's 1967 book actually ended with
a sobering chapter on New Year's Day of
1968, when USC and a running back
named O.J. Simpson defeated the
Hoosiers, 14-3, in the Rose Bowl. That
squashed an Indiana party to which 20,000
Hoosier fans traveled. Yet even two
decades later, the confidence lingers. Mau­
ro looked back on that final game and
said, "We did an excellent job against
Southern Cal. We still remained close."
For the modern-day version of these ex­
ploits, we have MacPherson and his un­
heralded Syracuse team of a year ago.
Startlingly and constantly, the Orangemen
came up with the big plays that produced
victory. Even MacPherson was taken
aback by his players' resourcefulness, and
a confidence that rarely surfaced in the
mediocrity of the previous season.
"It wasn't a surprise in terms of how
good we were," MacPherson said of his
1987 team. "The surprising part was just
that we found a way to win so often."
Then there was the Penn State game, the
one that would put Syracuse's sudden con­
fidence against a stiff test of reality. No
one had really been able to break Penn
State's recent grip on Eastern football
supremacy, but the Nittany Lions had a
date at the Carrier Dome to challenge an
upstart group that thought it could conquer
the world. Quarterback and Heisman Tro­
phy runner-up Don McPherson completed
15 of 20 passes for a school record 336
yards and three touchdowns. Final score:
Syracuse 48, Penn State 21.

"We were 5-0 going into that game, and
I felt then we'd know who we were,"
MacPherson said. "And we had them 41-0
with six minutes to go. I couldn't believe
it. It was just amazing what the kids did."
By that time the Orangemen were no
longer a secret buried in central New
York. By contrast San Jose State’s Spar­
tans of a year earlier had anonymity in
their favor, playing in the Pacific Coast
Athletic Association and coming off that
disastrous 2-8-1 season in 1985. Theirs
was a newfound confidence that received
an assist from opponents' overconfidence.

A top freshman class, including linebacker
Wilber Marshall, turned Florida’s fortunes
completely around in 1980.

San Jose State lost two of its four non­
conference games against teams from the
bigger, more heralded Pac-10 Conference.
The Spartans did not lose again all year.
Perez, the quarterback who led the nation
in total offense that season, sensed his
team didn't get much respect.
"Teams wouldn't play us that hard,"
Perez said. "No one expected us to be that
good. You could see it in their eyes. It
wasn't until the third or fourth quarter that
they realized we were that good, and by
then it was too late."

Perez's right arm spurred the Spartans to a
magical game, a contest similar in effect to
Syracuse's victory over Penn State, but vast­
ly dissimilar in style. It was San Jose State's
first conference game of the year, matching
Perez against Fresno State and its own
record-setting quarterback, Kevin Sweeney.
The teams traded punches like mania­
cal boxers. Fresno State kicked a field
goal with 1:15 left to take a 41-31 lead,
and it looked like the Spartans were done
for. Then Perez led San Jose on a six-play
drive capped by a five-yard touchdown
pass to Guy Liggins. The Spartans tried,
and recovered, an onside kick. Perez
quickly drove his team down the field
and tossed another scoring pass, this time
a 26-yarder to Lafo Malauulu. San Jose
State won, 45-41.
"The game was incredible, without a
doubt the best football game I've been as­
sociated with," said Gilbert, a college head
coach for 11 years. "To come back when it
looked like we were finished was a most
incredible experience. That game probably
was the catalyst in our arriving as a team.
It tied us together."
Sometimes a turnaround revolves upon
the simplest of concepts: adding better
players. In 1979 Charley Pell's Florida
Gators were winless, showing only one tie
and 10 defeats for their efforts. A year lat­
er, the Gators capped an 8-4 season by
beating Maryland, 35-20, in the Tangerine
Bowl, thereby becoming one of the first
schools to win no games one season and
win a bowl game the next.
Florida's ascent turned mostly on a
tremendous freshman class, led by current
National Football League star Wilber Mar­
shall and quarterback Wayne Peace. Mar­
shall started his Florida career in 1980, a
career in which the linebacker twice
gained All-America honors. And Peace
played QB as a freshman, giving the
Gators a passer capable of getting the ball
to All-America wide receiver Cris
Collinsworth, who now prances into the
end zone for the Cincinnati Bengals.
Farther to the south, Miami staged a
dramatic turnaround of its own back in
1945. Boosted by swelling enrollment as
men returned from service in World War
II, the Hurricanes rebounded from a 1-7-1
season in 1944 to go 9-1-1 in '45, includ­
ing an Orange Bowl victory over Holy
Cross. Jack Harding, whose tenure as Mia­
mi head coach was interrupted in 1943 and
1944 because he, too, served in the war,
returned to guide the Hurricanes to their
improbable success of '45.
And the success ended on an even more
wildly implausible note. In the Orange
Bowl game, Miami and Holy Cross were

The Royal Waikoloan Resort
. ; on the
Big island of Hawaii
recreates a royal tradition
of hospitality

He was like a runaway train. Few could put the brakes on Choo Choo.

by Bob Gillespie,
The (Columbia, S.C.) State
i

everal years ago, when Sports Illustrated writer Frank
DeFord wrote "Everybody's All-American," his story
of a fictional football star who played at the University
of North Carolina in the late 1950s was considered a
blow for realism in sports journalism.
The book's hero, tailback Gavin Grey, aka "The Grey Ghost,"
was a curious mix of physical talent and human foibles: a hero on
the field, but a philandering, immature man-child off the field, who
never knew what to do with his life after the cheering stopped.
DeFord's novel received critical acclaim for its hard-bitten look at
the life of a disillusioned football star.
In Chapel Hill, N.C., though. North Carolina fans—including
the university president—reacted as angrily as if DeFord had
claimed Karl Marx were a Tar Heel graduate. Most felt DeFord's
character was lifted from the life of Charlie "Choo Choo" Justice,
and to besmirch the name of Choo Choo Justice in North
Carolina—well, you might as well go to Virginia and throw mud
at Robert E. Lee.
The man who might've been expected to be the most upset,
though, barely raised an eyebrow.

S

As far as Charlie Justice is concerned, the only similarities
between himself and DeFord's Grey Ghost are that both per­
formed in Kenan Stadium and wore Carolina Blue.
"I was married in Chapel Hill,-and I'm still married to the same
wife [Sara] 42 years later," said Justice, now 64 and owner of
Justice Insurance Agency in Cherryville, N.C., near Greensboro.
"I never drank until after my first heart attack, and I didn't smoke.
Heck, we never even went to dances.
"In 1947, we played Texas in Austin, and later a woman wrote
me a letter talking about 'our time together,' asking if she could
come to Chapel Hill. Sara saw it and said, 'What did you do in
Austin?' Later, a guy admitted he had been passing himself off as
me.
"When you're a public figure, people will say things about you.
My wife got upset [about DeFord's book], but I didn't worry
about it."
It's understandable that DeFord didn't make his character more
like the real Charlie Justice, though. For the average reader.
Justice's life might just be too all-American to believe.

By the time Choo Choo had chugged
downfield for the final time as a Tar Heel
in 1949, the rawboned Asheville, N.C.,
native was a statewide folk hero. Nearly
40 years later, several of his records
remain intact—notably his 4,883 yards
total offense in a career, and his 42.6-yard
punting average. In four years, he led the
Tar Heels to a 32-7-2 record and three
major bowl games; twice he finished as
runner-up for the Heisman Trophy. As a
kicker, he had two blocked in his first
game; Justice vowed it would never hap­
pen again, and it didn't.
But there is more to Justice's impact on
his fellow North Carolinians than just
numbers. "Charlie Justice was more than
just a great football player," it says in the
two-page section devoted to his exploits in
UNC's football media guide. "He was a
bona fide superstar, a hero, a legend in his
own time. He had an impact on his home
state as no other athlete has ever had
before... or since."
Charlotte (N.C.) Observer columnist
Ron Green wrote in October 1986:
"Justice is still the most recognizable,
most revered and most beloved athlete this
state has ever produced. . . . Wherever he
goes in this state, all these years after he
helped bring joy back to a nation just
emerged from World War II, Justice
endures as a hero of almost mystic quality.
"It has its sweetness and it has its bur­
dens, but neither has changed him.
Nobody ever wore the mantle of athletic
hero with more style and grace than
Charlie Justice."
Even Justice, after all this time, is still
amazed at his celebrity. "It's a puzzle to
me," he said. "Sometimes, it doesn't seem
like 40 years. I still get autograph requests
from people. It keeps me young.
"A fellow in California sent me four
magazines, [issues of] Life and Sports
Illustrated, that he found at a flea market
that had stories about me. He wanted me
to sign them." He laughed. "I don't
understand it, either."
But Justice has his theories about why a
young, lanky running back was able to
capture the imagination of Tar Heel fans
for four years.
"First off, I was small," said Justice,
who played at 170 pounds, tops. "We had
come back after the war, when things were
clamped down, no entertainment, and I
guess we gave it to them. I was in the right
place at the right time.
"North Carolina had never been a win­
ning team or a national power; they had
never even been to a bowl, and we went to
three. Here I was, a native son, a mountain

North Carolina.

versity and making good.
"And yeah, the nickname. Everybody
seemed to like that."
One of the most famous monikers in
college football history, though, was not
bestowed on Justice in college. After a
high school career in which he averaged
better than 10 yards per carry and scored
27 touchdowns, he joined the Navy in
1943, playing for a Bainbridge, Md.,
Naval Base team largely made up of pro­
fessional players.
"We were playing a game, and an officer
was sitting in the stands with Paul Minton,
the editor of the Baltimore Sun," Justice
said. "The officer said, 'Look at that guy
run. He looks like a runaway train. We

ought to call him Choo Choo.' Minton
picked it up and used it in the paper.
"That probably meant more to me, pub­
licity wise, than anything."
His Navy experience, plus his high
school statistics and a darting style honed
as a youngster, when he would run through
the woods and dodge trees, made Justice a
hot prospect in 1946. Duke, a perennial
power under Coach Wallace Wade, pursued
him, but North Carolina coach Carl
Snavely was almost indifferent when
Justice visited the Chapel Hill campus.
"Coach Snavely picked Sara and me up
in High Point, where her family was, and
took us to Winston-Salem for lunch,"

Justice said. "While we were eating, he
asked me, 'How much do you weigh?' and
I told him, '155 pounds.'
"He didn't say another word the rest of
, the trip to Chapel Hill. The next day, he
told me I could come by the football office
if I wanted to, but he wasn't even there. We
wound up taking a bus back to High Point."
Justice wanted to go to South Carolina
to play for Rex Enright. But the day sever­
al South Carolina alumni came to his
home to drive him to Columbia, S.C.,
Justice's older brother Jack took him into
the kitchen.
"He told me, 'I think you belong at
Chapel Hill, and I'll disown you if you go
to South Carolina,'" Justice said. "I wasn't
going to go against Jack. So they sneaked
me out the back door and took me to
Chapel Hill."
Justice was an instant star for the Tar
Heels, gaining 102 yards rushing (still the
best first game of any UNC player's
career) in a 14-14 tie with Virginia Tech.
He ran for 943 yards that season and
passed for 274, despite operating out of
Snavely's Single-Wing formation, which
rarely allowed him to run the ball more
than 20 times a game.
"I guess I'd have been better in the Tformation," he said, "because I didn't carry
the ball as much in the Single Wing."
North Carolina lost just one game that
season, 20-14, to powerhouse Tennessee,
but ironically, it was in that loss that
Justice cemented his reputation. Running
out of punt formation. Justice scampered
74 yards for a touchdown, a run consid­
ered one of the two best in his career.
"Being small, I could change directions
fast," Justice said. "I probably crossed the
field five times on that run." Tennessee's
Gen. Robert Neyland, one of the game's
most respected coaches, later proclaimed
it "the greatest run I've ever seen in my
lifetime, and ever expect to see."
It was a prophetic statement, but only
partially accurate. Justice's make-'em-miss
style produced other notable jaunts in his
career, including a 90-yard kickoff return
against Florida in 1946. Probably his best
day ever, though, came in 1948 against
Georgia, when he ran and passed for 304
yards total offense, then tacked on an 84yard punt return for a touchdown in
UNC's 21-14 win. Bulldog coach Wally
Butts called it "the greatest game ever
against Georgia."
For North Carolina fans, though, the
biggest game every year was against
Duke, and Justice was the major reason
the Tar Heels defeated Wallace Wade's
Blue Devils four straight years. Justice's

favorite memory from that series was a
20-0 win in 1948, the highlight of UNC's
9-0-1 Sugar Bowl team.
"Coach Wade was always saying I
wouldn't do this or that against them;
coaches said more about opponents then,"
Justice said. "That year he said I wouldn't
gain over 40 yards against them. So I got
120 yards rushing.
"There was one 43-yard run for a touch­
down where I must've made 75 yards in
cutbacks. As I was running past their
bench. Coach Wade threw up his hands
and yelled at me, 'You SOB!'"
It was North Carolina's 21-20 win over
Duke in 1949—called by one state sports
historian the greatest game ever in that
long series—that probably cost Justice his
best shot at winning the Heisman Trophy.
In a career laden with honors, his failure
to capture the Heisman remains, 40 years
later, a sore spot.
In 1947 and 1948, Justice was runnerup to Notre Dame's Johnny Lujack and
Doak Walker of Southern Methodist,
respectively. "I think if I was going to
win, it would've been in 1948," he said. "I
led the nation in total offense and punting,
was second in rushing, and we were third
in the country behind Notre Dame and
Oklahoma.
"Doak had a great year in 1947, but the
writers gave it to Lujack. I think they fig­
ured they'd give it to Doak in 1948, figur­
ing I'd win it in 1949."
But in 1949, North Carolina was 7-3 and
lost, 27-13, to Rice in the Cotton Bowl.
And Justice fell off tremendously from his
1,620 total yards (766 rushing), rushing for
just 377 yards and passing for 731. Despite
that, he might've had a shot at the
Heisman—if not for the Duke game.
Justice played much of that season with
a chipped bone in his ankle, shooting the
ankle with Novocain in order to play. But
when the Tar Heels traveled to New York

for a showdown with Notre Dame the
week before the Duke game, Snavely
decided to hold out his star back.
"I was sitting on the trainer's table before
the game, waiting to get my sjiot, when
Coach Snavely came in and said, 'What are
you doing?"' Justice said. "He said we
couldn't beat Notre Dame with or without
me, and he needed me the next week to
beat Duke. Back then, if you didn't beat
them, your days were numbered."
A newspaper photo caption read "Kept
Out, Justice Wept." The Irish won, 42-6,
and Notre Dame end Leon Hart wound up
capturing the Heisman.
"You needed the New Y6rk writers to
vote for you," Justice said.', "The thing is,
the guy who replaced mei got around the
comer on Notre Dame eight times. I felt
like I'd have scored at least a couple of
touchdowns.
"But the next week, I played against
Duke. Took eight needles of Novocain:
four before the game, four at halftime. But
that didn't hurt as much as missing that
Notre Dame game."
The years have eased Justice's disap­
pointment. His other awards were prodi­
gious: Associated Press, United Press,
Collier's magazine—he was, literally,
everybody's All-America. He went on to
play professionally for the Washington
Redskins. He may be the only college
player to ever have a song written in his
honor: "All The Way, Choo Choo." Said
Justice, "I thought the words were silly,
but the tune was good."
Todayf despite a 1974 heart attack and
two bypass operations since, he remains
active in North Carolina athletic circles, a
fixture at Kenan Stadium home games.
And there are some special memories.
"My favorite game was against N.C.
State in 1947," Justice said. "One play, I
made two blocks that helped [fullback]
Walt Pupa go 75 yards for a touchdown.
After that, my teammates congratulated
me and told me I was part of the team.
"Sometimes it takes a while for a player
with a big reputation to earn the respect of
the other players. Some guys never do.
When they told me that, I knew I was
accepted."
He remains a hero to the average North
Carolinian, but Justice most enjoys the
fact that his teammates, years later, still
think of him as "a team man."
"I like to hear that. If the other players
still like you when it's all over, you're O.K.
"I'd rather have that than all the AllAmerica awards or Heisman Trophies."
That may sound stranger than fiction.
But for Choo Choo Justice, it's a fact. □

If you think the best way to pay for college is to
put it off for a few years and join the military, you’re
half right.
Because with the New GI Bill, you can join the
Army National Guard and earn over $15,000 for
college.
But best of all, you serve part-time, as little as
two days a month and two weeks a year. Which means
you can go to school full-time. Right now. On us.
So the question you have to ask yourself is not,
can you afford to go to college.
The question is, can you afford to wait.

NEW SEASON PROMISES MORE GREAT MOMENTS
s another college football season begins—the
120th since a bunch of young kids from Rutgers
and Princeton got together for a bit of "rugger"
back in 1869—it is a pleasure to look back and
reflect upon some of die game's significant mo­
ments and milestones.
There is no better place to begin than with Amos Alonzo
Stagg, the Grand Old Man of college football. He did more to
build it into the game we know today than any other person in
its history. Everything from the layout of the field to the for­
ward pass was a product of Stagg's great mind, and until Bear
Bryant won his 315th game in 1982, no other coach in history
had ever been as successful.
It is also intriguing to look back on an updated version of the
original Rutgers-Princeton game. In 1948 Rutgers—always
considered "the other team"—^paid a long-overdue debt to their

A

fellow New Jersians, close by the site where football began.
In 1958 Ohio State and Iowa proved that there is nothing
more exciting than a back-and-forA game, as touchdowns came
on long runs and longer passes, and the clock suddenly became
the most important player in the stadium.
And 10 years later, O.J. Simpson, in his finest collegiate sea­
son, lead Southern Cal's "Cardiac Kids" through an incredible
year, and found himself on the podium of the Downtown Ath­
letic Club in New York City, receiving the Heisman Trophy.
Of course the game has had many other heroes—Eddie Lee
Ivery of Georgia Tech, for one. He fought off sickness and a
slick field to turn in one of the greatest rushing games in the
history of college football.
These moments give us much to remember and rejoice about
as yet another college football season begins.

Amos Alonzo Stagg did not have
a vindictive bone in his body.
But he certainly had his pride
and his great enthusiasm for coaching
football. So when the University of Chica­
go, where he had coached for 41 years,
told him they no longer wanted his skills
because he was too old to do his job, he
dutifully left and found a new career.
Stagg found that new career at the College
of the Pacific in Stockton, Calif., where in
1933 he became head football coach at the
age of 71. Life expectancy was just over 61
years when Stagg took on what really must
be considered a young man's job. It makes
the story all the more remaikable.
Stagg took great pride in his coaching,
which is why the moment was golden

team back to Chicago and on Chicago's
Homecoming Day scored a 32-0 victory
over the school that had dubbed him too
old to coach.
Never before had Stagg returned to his
old turf. During that trip he became part of
a gala celebration by scores of his former
Chicago players.
"The Order of Chicago, a group of old
Chicago football players, tossed a Home­
coming Day banquet the night before the
game and all of us were invited too," re­
called Bill Becker, a guard on Stagg's COP
squad in 1938. "We had been sort of blase
about this trip, even though it meant taking
a train more than halfway across the coun­
try. But when we saw some of the real gi­
ants of finance and industry in the Midwest
paying such honest tribute to this whitehaired old man, it really touched us.

spoke, everything came together for us.
We realized just how special he really was,
and that Just ignited us as a team the next
day. We played the game of our lives."
Everything was set for this encounter,
even to having Jay Berwanger, the first
Heisman Trophy winner, who had played
for Chicago (but not for Stagg), as the
game's referee.
"Clark Shaughnessy had succeeded
Stagg as Chicago's head coach, and he was
then one of the game's most influential
coaches," Becker said. "But the school had
gone down so far in.its football fortunes,
he really didn't have much of a chance. As
it was, that was Chicago's next-to-last sea­
son of major intercollegiate football, and
Shaughnessy, who was then helping

George Halas coach the Chicago Bears,
came out to the West Coast himself and
had his greatest seasons with Stanford."
Though COP had all the emotional edge
that day, they led only 7-0 at the half, on
Ray Cooper's six-yard run. But they ex­
ploded in the second half. The big play
came with Chicago at the COP six-yard
line and threatening to tie the score, when
Bobby Kientz picked off a pass by Sollie
Sherman at the one-yard line and ran 99
yards for a touchdown.
In the fourth quarter, a tackle, Irwin
Gruber, tipped another pass and Kientz ran
40 yards for another touchdown.
"We only had 27 players along on that
trip, and with the coaches and the athletic
director [he taped ankles], our party num­

bered just 31 persons," Becker recalled.
"But on the train ride home, you'd have
thought there were a million of us and
we'd just conquered the world. And no one
was happier than Mr. Stagg. He might
have been 76 at the time, but he danced a
victory jig on that train, and then he led us
in some rip-roaring singing."
Eighteen players from that time will
hold a 50th reunion at Pacific (now Uni­
versity of the Pacific) this year, and you'd
better believe that the prime topic of con­
versation will be Amos Alonzo Stagg,
who, though he passed away 23 years ago
at age 102, still is very much a part of their
lives—and of the game itself , /

Ru tgers-Princeton:
A Special Rivalry
Every year football fans should

■

stop and recall for a moment the
events of a brisk fall afternoon in
1869. That was when a feisty group of
lads from Rutgers University traveled 25
miles down the main road between New
York and Philadelphia and landed in
Princeton, where they engaged an equally
feisty group of lads in a spirited scrum that
has become hallowed as the first intercol­
legiate football game.
Somehow that game has always held a
special place in the hearts of those who are
devoted to this sport, and thus the rivalry

Hawkeyes in Classic
Bums also said that Rutgers' squad, like
so many others in those years, was swelled
by returning war veterans, so the caliber
of talent was higher than it had ever been.
"We had beaten Princeton at our stadi­
um the previous year, so we were not in
awe of them," he recalled. "We had a good
team, though we started off the season los­
ing to Columbia, which had its great team
with Lou Kusserow, Gene Rossides and
those fellows. After that we got on track."
If Rutgers felt a particular incentive to
play Princeton, the feeling was no less in­
tense on the other side. The Princetonians al­
so had to coexist with Rutgers, and any time
the perennial underdog has the last laugh,
life can become more than a bit miserable.
Thus, it is not surprising that when the
two teams played each other there were
seven turnovers. Three of them led to three
Rutgers touchdowns as the Scarlet Knights

won the game, 22-6.
"It was simply the biggest game on our
schedule, and that's how we played it,"
Bums said. "As players, we wanted to win
every game, but this was a bit more spe­
cial. For the alumni, beating Princeton
made the season more or less a success, so
we were aware of what all of this meant."
In Bums' mind the game's biggest play
was a 48-yard touchdown pass that Dick
Cramer grabbed off his shoetops in the
second quarter. "He caught the ball at
about Princeton's five-yard line, stumbling
and falling as he did so. Dick was a speedy
mnner, but not endowed as a receiver, so it
was a remarkable catch for him."
As remarkable as it was important, the
catch came after A1 Malekoff s fumble re­
covery and helped wipe out Princeton's 60 lead, fashioned on a one-yard TD mn by
John Powers in the first quarter.

When Bob Ochs grabbed another Prince­
ton fumble at the Tigers' 21-yard line on the
first play of the second half. Bums & Co.
went right to work, and Cramer polished
off that short drive with a four-yard sweep.
"We set it up for him beautifully, and Dick
did what he did best—he beat everyone
around the comer."
Rutgers' final score was by Leon Root,
subbing for Cramer, who ran 11 yards up the
middle with 43 seconds left in the game.
Bums also played linebacker. "Whoever
heard of a quarterback playing linebacker!
There weren't many as stupid as I was," he
said, laughing. He helped the Rutgers de­
fense shut down Coach Charlie Caldwell's
famed Single Wing attack.
"Games like those are so special to col­
lege football," he said recently. "After all,
how many players can say they are part of
the rivalry that began this sport?"

What constitutes a great game?
Try this one on for size: How
about a game with four ties in the
fost three quarters . . . never more than a
seven-point lead by the eventual winner until
the final two minutes ... and enough inspi­
ration to wash over one of college football's
great stadiums.
That's what took place on November 15,
1958, in Iowa City when Ohio State came
out to play the Hawkeyes. Iowa had won
the Big Ten title and a trip to the Rose
Bowl the previous week. Ironically, they
dethroned the Buckeyes, who had repre­
sented the conference in 1957.
"We had beaten Iowa [17-13] the year
before in Columbus and clinched our title
that day," recalled Dick LeBeau, a great
offensive and defensive back for the Buck­
eyes at that time. "As soon as we got to
Iowa City, we started to hear, 'We'll get

"But Coach Hayes, like all great coach­
es, always saved something for a big
game, and his pregame talk to us was one
of the best I ever heard. He told us about
his late brother, who had played for Iowa
State, and how much it meant for him to
beat Iowa when those two teams played
each other. The man had just died so it was
a very poignant moment, and it really set
the tone for us that day."
LeBeau believes to this day that Coach
Hayes' emotional pregame speech was a
huge factor early in the game. On Iowa's
first play after tfie kickoff, the Hawkeyes
lost the ball as linebacker Jim Houston just
exploded into rurming back Ray Jauch and
caused him to fumble. Two plays later
Don Clark sped 25 yards for a touchdown
and a 7-0 Ohio State lead.
"Clark was not your typical Ohio State

to our fullback. Bob White, who took a
moment to get up his head of steam and

"Bob was not only a power runner in
the mold of all Ohio State fullbacks, but
he was a great athlete," said LeBeau, now
defensive coordinator for the Cincinnati
Bengals. "He was Kentucky's state pole
vault champion in high school, and on a
football field he handed out some punish­
ment if anyone took him on head-on."
Duncan was indefatigable, and he
brought Iowa back to its second tie, this
time on Willie Fleming's one-yard run. But
White scored his second TD to untie the
game for the third time, only to see the
fourth touchdown in this wild and woolly
second quarter, on Duncan's three-yard
pass to Fleming, just seconds before the
end of the first half.
"We played this game the way we should
have played the entire season," LeBeau not­
ed. "We were predominantly a senior team,
and I believe we had an acute case of 'senioritis' after winning the Big Ten title and

continued

the Rose Bowl the year before.
"I also believe we showed just how
good we really could be because our No. 1
quarterback, Frank Kremblas, was out
with an injury and Jerry Fields ran the of­
fense that day."
Fields picked it up in the third quarter
just where he had left off in the second,
marching Ohio State to another touch­
down, this one on Clark's 27-yard run.
Then back came Duncan, who completed
23 of 33 for 249 yards that day, to get the
game's fourth tie with a third-quarter
march that ended on John Nocera's 21yard run.
But in the fourth quarter Ohio State fi­
nally got control. Hayes unleashed his

famed "three-yards-and-a-cloud-of-dust"
offense, a ball control, battering ram ap­
proach that wore defenses down. In this
instance he turned the ball over to White,
who carried on 11 plays in a 14-play, 61yard drive, finishing with a one-yard TD
for a 35-28 lead.
Of course, Iowa and Duncan felt they
could come back, but LeBeau ended those
dreams when he intercepted a pass at Ohio
State's 30-yard line.
"It was deja vu," LeBeau said, laughing.
"I had done the same thing the year before
to help clinch our victory."
This interception led to Dave Kilgore's
eight-yard field goal, as White & Co.
again crunched down the field and totally
dominated Iowa's defense at a time in the

on to head coach Pepper Rodgers.
"I told him I didn't care how many yards
Ivery had," Rodgers said later. "1 was wor­
ried about the score and Cormac Carney."
But then he had a chance to think about
it, and after an Air Force drive died on
Tech's eight-yard line, Rodgers told the
team to let Ivery run the ball until he got
the record. On his first carry he got 13
yards, on his next, another 13, leaving him
just 15 shy. OK, let's give Ivery a break for
a play and let Ray Friday carry the ball.
Friday did ... for 66 yards straight up
the middle for a touchdown. And that put
the game out of reach.
"Until Ray's touchdown, I was just wor­
ried about winning the game," Ivery said.
"After that, I had a chance to think of the
record. It was something I used tp dream
about as a kid. I mean 200 or 300 yards in
a kid's mind was incredible, (jut 1 knew
from watching O.J. Simpson Jhat it could
be done."

Except that his team needed the ball,
and there were only six minutes to play.
Linebaeker Henry Johnson took care of
that, intercepting a pass. Ivery had his
shot, and only because he was so close did
Rodgers even consider putting him back
in. "I told Bill Parcells [Air Force's coach]
that I wouldn't have done it if Eddie had
needed 200 yards."
On the first play Ivery ran a counter play
and split Air Force's defense for 21 yards.
He fumbled and lost the ball on the play,
but it didn't matter. The record was his.
Johnson, the linebacker, wanted more.
"He told me to go back in and get 44
more yards to make it an even 400," Ivery
said. "'If you pop a long one, just fall
down after 44,' he told me. But Don
Bessillieu saj,d, 'Don't do it. You never
know, you might lose some yards.'"
He hadtfost only three yards all day, but
Rodgers wrapped him up for the day. Iron­
ically, had he gone back in for just one
play and gained two or more yards, the
record still might be his. As it happened,
Rueben Mayes of Washington State broke
Ivery's record in 1984 with a 357-yard per­
formance against Oregon. □

BAUMGARTNER GOES FOR THE GOLD AGAIN
complacent The '88 Games are a great challenge
that lies ahead for me, and I have always realized
that I have to work very hard to meet that chal­
lenge," Baumgartner added. "I compete against
myself; I simply have to keep pushing."
The success story of this 6-2, 275pound athlete began at the collegiate level. Not
heavily recruited out of high school by the colle­
giate wrestling powers, Baumgartner chose Indi­
ana State University. While showing academic
excellence in the classroom (3.77 out of 4.0), he
posted an impressive 134-12 record as a colle­
giate. He was twice national runner up and con­
cluded his career with an unbeaten mark of 44-0
and a national championship title in 1982.
His classroom work also brought
Baumgartner plenty of accolades as he was grant­
ed an NCAA post-graduate scholarship for his
excellent grade point average and received his
masters degree at Oklahoma State while also serv­
ing as an assistant wrestling coach.
After capturing the gold medal in '84,
Baumgartner did not rest on his laurels. In '85 he won his sec­
ond World Cup and the prestigious World Super champi­
onships in Japan. In '86 he captured his third World Cup title,
then finally won the one title that had eluded him - the World
Championship - to become the first United States wrestler
ever to win the world heavyweight crown, and the first to
break the Soviet heavyweight reign since 1961.
As he prepares for the '88 Games, Baumgartner is
coming off a very successful 1987 during which he captured
the heavyweight title at the Pan-American Games in Indi­
anapolis, took third in the World Championships, and won his
eighth straight title at the Midlands Tournament.
The heavyweight wrestler set several records during
the '87 Midlands Tourney. His eight consecutive titles are two
ahead of the legendary Dan Gable and Ben Peterson who cap­
tured six straight. He has won 40 consecutive Midlands
matches, breaking Gable's old mark of 31, and his overall
slate of 43-2 gives him the most wins in Midlands history.
What lies ahead for Baumgartner? "I think he will go
at least through the 1989 World Championships," said his wife
Linda. "The loss to Khadartsev last year really inspired him to
win another championship."
Bruce then acknowledged with a grin, "She's pretty
smart about these things."
Win or lose come next month, Bruce Baumgartner
has made Edinboro University and the community down right
proud.

The word success has become synonymous with the
name Bruce Baumgartner.
An NCAA crown, countless Invitational titles, eight
Midlands Tournament championships. World Cup honors, the
World Championship title and ultimately, the gold me(M at
the 1987 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
It dl sounds very familiar to those fortunate enough
to know the "gentle giant.""
As assistant wrestling coach for the Edinboro Uni­
versity Fighting Scots, Baumgartner has experienced success
as a coach and as an athlete. Around here, he will never be
taken for granted.
"I am just thankful we have Bruce here right now,"
James McDonald, Edinboro athletic director said. "Edinboro
University - not just the Edinboro wrestling program - is a bet­
ter place because of Bruce Baumgartner."
A given fact in the world of athletics is that it is very
difficult to repeat This is the task that lies ahead for Baum­
gartner. The '84 games are still very fresh in everyone's mind,
but Baumgartner seemingly feels no pressure.
"I know who my stiffest competition will be; there
are no surprises ahead for Bruce Baumgartner," Bruce com­
mented. "Aslan Khadartsev of the Soviet Union will likely be
my main roadblock to the gold." Baumgartner lost to Khadart­
sev in the 1987 World Championships, but avenged the loss a
week later in dual meet competition. His mark against the
Soviet stands at 1-1. "The loss may have been good in a way,"
Bruce said. "When you get the taste of defeat, it only makes
you hungrier. But I will not take my other competition lightly.
When you are wrestling at this level, they are all world-class
wrestlers."
Baumgartner's schedule is now devoted to training.
He has been working out nearly five hours a day for the last
few months and recently returned from the Olympic training
site in Colorado Springs. The sport of wrestling is simply sac­
rifice and Baumgartner has no problem with that
"I have always made the statement that I do not wres­
tle for the recognition, it is the drive and competitiveness that
comes from within that keeps me going. I will not become

NOTE: The Olympic wrestling competition will take place
during the last week in September.

In 1987:

SCOTS FALL TO FLAMES IN OPENER 13-8
on the door. On third and two from the Flames' 8-yard line,
Ross could not connect with wide receiver Ernest Priester and
the Scots had to settle for another Weber field goal. The fresh­
man was true from 24 yards away and the Scots led 8-7 with
9:02 left in the third period.
Following another exchange of punts the Flames put
together a 90-yard scoring drive on just eight plays to seal the
win. Runningback Charles Dorsey rushed three times on the
drive for 67 yards, including a 52-yard scamper to set up the
TD. A pass interference call against the Scots put the ball on
the one-yard line where back Willie Larkins carried it in for
the score.
For the day, Larkins rushed 19 times for 100 yards
while quarterback Paul Johnson connected on 6 of 10 passes
for 51 yards and one score.
Defensively for the Scots, linebackers Scott Brown
and A1 Donahue, and safety Mike Willis led the charge.
Brown registered a fumble recovery and 11 tackles, while
safety Willis was credited with a dozen tacjdes. Donahue,
playing in his first game as a Fighting Scot, led the team with
13 stops.

To open the 1987 season, the Fighting Scots traveled
to Lynchburg, Virginia, to battle the Flames from Liberty. The
game was played in a constant rain which hindered the offense
of both squads.
Although Edinboro's Floyd Faulkner rushed for 121
yards on 26 attempts, the Scots fell in the opener by the score
of 13-8. On the day, Faulkner also caught a team-high six
passes for 29 yards. Other bright spots for the Plaid included
149 yards passing by sophomore quarterback Jim Ross and 78
yards receiving by runningback Elbert Cole.
Edinboro got on the scoreboard first as freshman
placekicker Darren Weber connected from 34 yards away for
the 3-0 edge. The kick was good at the 9:02 mark of the first
quarter. Key plays in the drive, were a 52-yard completion
from Ross to Cole and a 10-yard pass play from Ross to tightend Brian Ferguson to set up the Weber field goal.
As the second quarter got underway, the Flames' spe­
cial teams played a key roll in the game's decision. Liberty's
