It is said that good football teams win games they
should not have. Thus was the case a week ago for the Edinboro University football squad. But do not tell that to Fighting
Scot Coach Tom Hollman.
"It is a win and it puts us in the drivers seat in the
conference race. Clarion was a tough, physical football team
and I knew we were in for a battle," Hollman stated.
"Give credit to Clarion but also to our kids for mak­
ing the big play when they had to. Our defense turned in a
great effort against a very good squad."
The Scots are back in action today as they host the
Bald Eagles of Lock Haven University. Edinboro (4-1, 2-0)
currently stands in first place in the PSAC western division
while Lock Haven enters the game with an 0-6,0-3 slate.
Edinboro opened the '89 season with a 51-27 setback
at the hands of still unbeaten Liberty University but have
rebounded to score consecutive wins over New Haven (4613), lUP (37-0), Kutztown (42-21) and Clarion.
'The Bald Eagles have lost to Tennessee Tech (38-17),
lUP (44-0), Bloomsburg (24-7), California, Pa. (10-0), Slip­
pery Rock (27-16) and most recently to Division I-AA power
Maine, 56-0.
"I do not expect anything different from Lock
Haven," Hollman adds. "When you look at the conference
teams they have played, they have played people tough. We
need to put everything back on track this week. Lock Haven
poses as the next challenge for our team. We are in for another
tough opponent."
Leading the Scot attack this week will be the big play
combination of tailback Elbert Cole and wide receiver Ernest
Priester. The twosome have combined for 17 of the teams' 24
touchdowns through five games. The Scots' offense enters
today's game averaging 33 points per game and 392 yards
total offense.
Cole, the school's all-time record holder for career
attempts, has surpassed the 100-yard mark five straight weeks
and leads the Plaid with 742 yards on 114 carries. His 9 touch­
downs and 148 yards per game rushing are tops in the PSAC.
Priester, the Scots' threat on the outside, continues to
baffle opposing secondaries. On the year, he has caught 19
passes for 396 yards (20.8 ypc) and 8 touchdowns. He turned
in a very solid performance in Clarion, catching 6 passes for
74 yards and a first quarter touchdown.
Calling the shots again this week will be junior quar­
terback Hal Galupi. Leading the Plaid to their quick start,
Galupi has connected on 54 of 106 (51%) passes for 715 yards
and 8 touchdowns, all to Priester.
Joining Cole and Galupi in the Scot backfield will be
the fullback tandem of Steve Clare and Matt Koehle. The two­
some have combined for 197 yards on 55 carries and a pair of
touchdowns.
Besides Priester wide out Wrentie Martin (7 catches,
84 yards) and tight end Randy Mcllwain (4, 34) round out the
receiving corps for the Scots. Clearing the way will be center
Dave Pinkerton, guards Joe Brooks and Curtis Rose and tack­
les Ron Hainsey and Wally Spisak.
Defensively, Lock Haven enters the game yielding
225 yards per game on the ground and 154 through the air.
Leading the defensive charge for the Bald Eagles will
be linebackers Larry Walker and Todd Stuter. In '89, Walker
leads the squad with 79 tackles, 2 sacks and 1 pass intercep­

tion. Stuter ranks behind Walker with 50 tackles and also has
an interception.
' Up front the Bald Eagles are led by veteran defensive
tackle Scott Govern who has been credited with 44 stops and
one sack this season.
In the secondary, LH is anchored by the play of free
safety Dwayne Tooles and strong safety Dave Lauderman.
Tooles leads the squad with 3 interceptions and also has added
35 tackles while Lauderman, a three-year letterwinner, ranks
behind the two linebackers on the team with 47 total stops.
Taking a look at the Bald Eagle offense shows a team
centering around the option game. Entering the contest, the
LH offense is averaging 119.2 yards per game rushing and
65.5 ypg in the air.
Directing the offensive attack will be quarterback
Jimmy Broadway. The sophomore from Miami, FL, has con­
nected on 30 of 65 passes for 355 yards and 2 touchdowns
while also rushing for a net of 150 yards on 49 carries and a
pair of scores.
The key to the running game continues to be half­
back Guy Wade, who sat out the Maine battle but is expected
back against the Scots. In five games, he has rushed for 416
yards on 107 attempts and 2 touchdowns. He has also caught
4 passes for 40 yards.
The Bald Eagles top receiver has been speedster
Jesse Cleare. His 13 catches for 135 yards is best for the Bald
Eagles. In all, the Scot defense will look to contain the wide
open option offense, a look they have not seen yet this season.
Leading the hit parade for Edinboro continues to be
All-American Michael Willis. Through 6 games, Willis has
been credited with a team-high 53 tackles.
Also playing well in the Scot secondary has been
sophomores Wade Smith and Mark Anderson and freshman
GeorJ Lewis. Smith, a comerback, totals 38 tackles, 1 inter­
ception, 1 fumble recovery (on the goal line at Clarion), and a
team-high of 7 pass breakups. Anderson, at strong s^ety, is
sixth on the squad with 35 tackles while Lewis (23 stops, 4
breakups) continues to mature at the other comerback spot.
The Scots linebacking crew continues to be anchored
by seniors John Williams and Michael Wayne and junior A1
Donahue. Williams recorded 16 tackles against Clarion and
has 47 on the year while Wayne ranks just behind with 46
tackles. The pair of linebackers have combined for 4 intercep­
tions and 6 breakups in '89.
Donahue, playing extremely well as of late, has
chipped in with 38 tackles, 1 interception, 1 fumble recovery
and 1 sack.
Up front, the Scots continue to get very good play
out of tackles Matt Miller and Chip Conrad and ends Jeff
Jacobs and Brian Keaton. Miller has contributed 33 tackles
and a team high 6 sacks for the Scots while Conrad has added
24 tackles and a pair of sacks. Jacobs (24 total stops) played a
great game at Clarion last week while Keaton (24 stops, 4 for
loss, 2 sacks) continues to make the big play for the Scots.
The kicking duties continue to be secured by placekicker Darren Weber and punter Bill Burford. Weber has con­
nected on 14 of 18 extra points while Burford has upped his
average to 37.2 yards per punt on 19 kicks.
Next up for the Plaid is a trek over the state to battle
nationally ranked Shippensburg on the 21st of October.

WJETTV@)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

COMMUNITY RELATIONS DAY 1989

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR JIM McDONALD
vs. 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 ToumamenL 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 physi­
cal education from West Virginia Wesleyan College and he
also holds a master's degree in health from the University of
Buffalo.

Jim McDonald

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

Edinboro Community Relations Day is the special day each year when Edinboro University salutes the spirit of community, trust and confidence that has
existed between the University and the people of Edinboro for more than 132
years. By special tribute on this day, and in recognition of the Council for
Advancement and Support of Education's "National Higher Education Week" of
October 8-14, Edinboro Community Relations Day 1989 also recognizes our
local partners in education, the teachers and administrators of the General
McLane School District and the professional staff of the Northwest Tri-County
Intermediate Unit.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

HEAD COACH TOM HOLLMAN
UCR & UIDEO

Hollman's educational background begins with a
high school diploma from Memorial High School in St.
Mary's, Ohio, followed by his undergraduate degree in educa­
tion from Ohio Northern University in 1968. Three years later
Hollman received his master of science degree in education
from Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio.
While at Ohio Northern, Hollman was a three-year
starter for the football team and a two-way performer as a
defensive back and offensive end during his junior and senior
years. He holds the school record with 13 career interceptions
and earned All-American and All-District honors during the
1966 and 1967 seasons. Hollman also lettered in baseball for
three years during his stay at Ohio Northern.
A chronological look at Hollman's coaching career
begins in 1968 as an assistant coach at Sidney High School in
Sidney, Ohio. From there, Hollman moved on to Granville
High School in Ohio where he became head coach from 197173. His Greenville squads posted an impressive 26-2-2 mark
during his three-year stay.
Hollman 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 9-0-1.

Tom Hollman

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

In '76, Hollman moved on to the collegiate ranks
where he was the defensive coordinator for his alma mater at
Ohio Northern University.
The following year, Hollman accepted the head
coach position at Wooster College (OH) and guided his squad
to the best four-year record in the school's history (24-11-1).

"Last season was a very exciting one and we are sim­
ply looking to improve each year," Hollman stated after his
initial term. Hollman led the Scots to a 5-4-1 mark, becoming
only the second head coach in Edinboro football history to
post a winning season his first year.

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

"As a staff and team we are looking forward to an
excellent season. We finished just a half game out of the divi­
sion crown last year so that should give us the extra incentive
we need in 1989."

Coach Hollman resides in Edinboro with his wife,
Candi, and their four children, Mari (17), Jon (14), Tim (13),
and Denise (11).

The Scots finished 4-1-1 in the PS AC West, finishing
in third place, just one half game behind' Shippensburg and
lUP. The Plaid defeated Shipp 19-10 during their ten-game
slate last year.

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

Angela McCullum is beginning her second year as the
secretary and receptionist to the Edinboro University football
staff.
In her position, she has a number of responsibilities,
ranging from typing of correspondence to other coaches and
recruits, to coordination of student workers and the distribu­
tion of tasks.
McCullum also has the duty of h^dling the correspon­
dence for Edinboro's wrestling and women's softball programs.
Handling incoming phone calls and greeting visitors, Angela is
often the person who gives visitors to Edinboro their first
impression of Fighting Scot football.
Angela is engaged to be married on October 7 of this
year.

t almost goes without saying that the
days of all-brawn, no-brains football
are long gone, if in fact they ever
existed. Football has become a think­
ing man's game in many respects, par­
ticularly for the quarterback, who
these days must be able to do far more
than throw a ball. In just a matter of sec­
onds he must be able to recognize—or
"read"—a defensive scheme, determine its
weaknesses and then attack it.
"The hardest part of a quarterback's job
is reading, no question about it," said BYU
quarterback coach Norm Chow. "You've
got to have a person who can make a deci­
sion, who can think fast."
With the proliferation of complicated,
ever-changing defenses—which, in turn,
were responses to complicated, everchanging offenses—the reading of defens­
es has become common at the collegiate
level in the last couple of decades. It was,
no doubt, further necessitated by the emer­
gence of the passing game.
Now there is a game within a game out
there on the football field, a gridiron chess

REQUIRED READING

for fans is that they see a big play but
rarely recognize the plotting and thinking
that led to it, or why it worked.
Here are some things fans can watch for
from the stands to get an idea of how a
quarterback reads a defense—what it is
he's looking for out there—and the strate­
gy behind it.
The first stage of the reading process is
the pre-snap look, or the PSL. It's just what
it says. Before the snap of the ball the quar­
terback studies the defensive alignment,
trying to determine what type of defense it
will play. The first thing a quarterback
must determine is whether the defense will
play man-to-man pass coverage or zone
coverage—^this will decide who his prima­
ry and secondary receivers are, at least at
this stage of the process—and what, if any,
additional pressure he will get from pass
rushers. To read a defense at the line of
scrimmage the quarterback checks the
alignment of certain key defensive players,
most commonly the defensive backs, and
particularly the safeties.
As the quarterback lines up, put your­
self in his shoes and see if you can spot
defensive tendencies.

■Some tip-offs for man-to-man cover­
age: (1) the defensive backs are aligned
more tightly with (closer to) the receivers;
(2) the cornerbacks are aligned on the
inside of the wide receiver, closer to the
middle of the field, using the sideline to
their advantage; (3) the strong safety is
aligned directly in front of the tight end.
If it is a man-to-man defense, then the
quarterback will try to determine which
type it is. Man across the board? Or is the
free safety free to roam? If the free safety
has a man-to-man assignment, he will
have to leave the middle of the field to get
closer to his assigned receiver.
■Some tip-offs for zone coverage: (1)
the defensive backs are usually deeper; (2)
the defensive backs tend to look in at the
quarterback (in man-to-man they tend to
look at the receiver they're assigned to
cover); (3) the strong safety is generally
aligned about four yards outside of, and
five yards up the field from, the tight end.
If it is a zone defense, what kind of zone
is it? Is it a two-deep, with two defensive
backs aligned on the hash marks, or is it a
three-deep, with the free safety in the mid­
dle of the field?

TOUCHDOWN ILLUSTRATED

■Some tip-offs for blitz pressure: (1) Is
the free safety in the middle of the field?
If the strong safety, who normally covers
the tight end, is about to blitz, the free
safety will cheat over a few yards to the
strong side so he can be in position to
cover the tight end for his teammate. (2)
If the defense runs a zone, chances are
there won't be a blitz because the
linebackers and defensive backs are need­
ed for pass coverage. If it's man-to-man,
there will probably be extra pressure,
because with only five eligible receivers
there are more defenders free to pursue
the quarterback. (3) Is there an overload?
"Most blocking schemes are set up so that
there are three blockers on either side of
the center," said Utah quarterback coach
Jack Riley. "If there is a fourth rusher [on
one side], it must be recognized." (4)
There are some subtler indications, as
well. Riley tells his quarterbacks to watch
the eyes of the safeties and linebackers
and their movement.
"If he [the defender] has a menacing
look in his eyes, or if he's hedging up to
the line, he's probably coming [after the
quarterback]," said Riley. "If he looks pas­
sive, if he's back on his feet, he's probably
going to play zone."
The pre-snap look can provide any
number of the above clues, but there is one
big problem for the offense to consider: A
good defense won't show the quarterback
what it really plans to do. In fact, it will
disguise its defensive scheme, that is, give
the quarterback one look at the line of
scrimmage, and then do something else
after the snap of the ball.
Said Riley, "The defense will do any­
thing to con^se the quarterback—fake
blitzes, stemming [movement], show zone
but play man. It makes it really tough."
There are some things the quarterback
can do before the snap of the ball to force
a defense to show its true intentions. He
can, for instance, put a receiver in motion.
If a defensive back follows him across the
field, that indicates a man-to-man defense.
Use of motion can also force a defense to
settle into position.
Sometimes a quarterback, to counter a
defense that is shifting and changing posi­
tions to confuse his reads, will "set" a
defense early by putting his hands under
the center quickly or by going on a quick
snap count. On the other hand, some teams
will go on a late snap count, hoping to
learn something about where the defense
is going by its movement.
"Every team is different," said Boston
College receiver coach Barry Gallup. "We

Once the quarterback has decided what
the defense will do, based on the PSL and
the movement keys, the next step, of
course, is to exploit it. Here are a few ways
in which a quarterback can utilize his reads
in response to a particular defense.
Zone Defense: Keep in mind that there
are basically five underneath (short)
zones and three deep zones. This means
that if a team uses four players on the
pass rush, there is one open zone—if only
a quarterback can find it. Each zone
defense has an area of vulnerability. Thus,
the key point is, if it's a zone defense, the
type of zone determines primary and sec­
ondary receivers.
For example, if the quarterback Recog­
nizes a two-deep zone, he realizes the
defense is taking away the underneath
(short) passing game by covering the five
underneath zones with an equal number of
defenders. Since the defense is trying to

instance, like to call—or package—two
plays in the huddle, based on what they
think the opponent will do in a particular
situation (the down, distance and yard
line), say, a draw play for the blitz or a
long pass for a two-deep zone. The quarterback will decide, based on what he sees
at the line of scrimmage, which of the two
plays to use and he will signal it orally to
his teammates.
Automatics (or sight adjustments) are a
variation of packaging. They are
"either/or" options built into the called
play, based on the reaction of the defense
after the snap. The choices are simplified
for the quarterback and receivers: "Go
here if the defense goes there; go there if
the defense goes here." One common
automatic for the blitz, for example, is
the "hot" receiver. If a blitz is detected,
either at the line of scrimmage or after
the snap, the called play usually has a
built-in response. Instead of blocking the
blitzing player, the offense will leave the
quarterback to deal with him on his own,
hoping he can unload the ball quickly to
the designated "hot" receiver—usually
the slotback—who, having spotted the
blitz, automatically alters his route and
races to the spot vacated by the blitzing
defender. There are two things to consid­
er here: Both the quarterback and the
receiver must recognize the blitz, and, as
Sweeney said, "The quarterback will
probably get hit." Nevertheless, Sweeney
said, "Hot receivers are built into most
modem pass pjjays."
Sometimes the quarterback has free
reign and can completely alter or change
the play at the line of scrimmage by using
audibles. "You have a scouting report so
you know what the defense likes to do in
certain situations," explained Sweeney.
"You set up certain responses to those ten­
dencies with automatics and packages. But
if they do something you didn't expect,
that wasn't in your game plan, then you
use audibles to get out of trouble."
Audibles can also be used to get into
a play that takes better advantage of a
defensive weakness, but quarterbacks are
cautious about using audibles. "It's a
question of recognizing the defense," said
Chow. And so goes the game within
the game.

Every football fan knows that the score doesn't always give a good picture of a game. A few statistics, like those that can
be kept on this page can make the picture clearer, show what the Individual stars contribute and help to win post-game
"debates." Besides, It can be fun to second guess the official scorers whose statistics will appear in tomorrow's papers. But
before you start, here are some pointers on being a statistician:
1. Keep cumuiative totals to be informed "up to the minute" and to simplify your figuring of team totals. Example: Jones
gaines 3,6,9,2 yards and you write 3. 9,18,20 on his line.
2. On plays Involving penalties measured from the point of the foul, credit the rusher or pass receiver with yardage only to
the point of the Infraction.
3. Charge gains and losses on fumbles to the player who. In your judgment, contributed most to the error.
4. Don't score two-point conversion attempts after touchdowns as rushing or passing plays.

1989 is Chalmers "Bump" Elliott, who starred at Purdue
and Michigan and is now athletic director at the
University of Iowa, and four coaches—Joe Aillet, Sid Gillman,
Frank James Howard and Warren Woodson.
Formal induction ceremonies will be held at the 32nd annual
Hall of Fame Awards Banquet on Dec. 5 at the Waldorf-Astoria
in New York City. The Hall of Fame is located in Kings
Island, Ohio, near Cincinnati.
Other players who will be inducted are Donny Anderson, Paul
Cleary, John Green, Matt Hazeltine, Bob Johnson, Ted Kwalick,
Edgar "Eggs" Manske, Bob Schloredt and Aurelius Thomas.
Larry Csonka, a native of Stow, Ohio, broke all of Syracuse's
rushing records while sparking Ben Schwartzwalder's Orangemen
in the mid-'60s. The 6-3,220-pound
fullback rumbled for 216 yards
against West Virginia, and he
almost single-handedly knocked off
California, gaining 204 yards and
scoring all three touchdowns in a

In 1942, after serving as co-captain at
Santa Ana Junior College, the top-ranked
JC team in the nation that year, Paul Cleary
served in the infantry for 39 months dur­
ing World War II, including duty in the
Pacific theater and the occupation of Japan
as a first lieutenant.
In 1946 he returned to college, choosing
use. As a Trojan he twice won national
lineman-of-the-week honors and was
named to the All-Opponent team by Notre
Dame, Ohio State and Michigan. The co­
captain of use's 1948 Rose Bowl team,
the 6-1 195-pounder later played pro foot­
ball with the New York Yankees.
Cleary is active in the National Football
Foundation's Orange County chapter and
is chairman of the board of the R.J. Noble
Construction Company. He is also active
in civic and church affairs.
John Green, a native of Shelbyville, Ky.,
lettered three years at Army and twice
won All-America acclaim. The 5-11 190pounder played one season at ’fulane
before his appointment to West Point.
After graduating in 1946 Green
remained on Col. Earl "Red" Blaik's
Army staff for six years and then went on
active duty, eventually resigning with the
rank of captain to become an assistant
coach at Tulane and then Florida. He later
took over the head coaching reins at
Vanderbilt for four years. After retiring
from coaching Green joined the AVCO
Corporation in Nashville, Tenn., and
remained with the company until his
death. He was honored by the Middle
Tennessee Chapter of the National
Football Foundation and Hall of Fame
prior to his death.

Matt Hazeltine was a two-time AllAmerica at California, where he played
for legendary coach Pappy Waldorf.
Hazeltine continued the "H" tradition at
Cal, following All-America centers Babe
Horrell and Bob Herwig. The 6-2 201pounder went on to play 14 seasons with
the San Francisco 49ers and one year with
the New York Giants. Between seasons in
his NFL career, Hazeltine developed an
insurance agency in Los Altos, Calif.
He died in 1987 at the age of 53 of amy­
otrophic lateral sclerosis, known as Lou
Gehrig's disease. He was one of three for­
mer 49ers stricken with the illness.
Bab Jahnsan, Tennessee's All-America

in the Bluebonnet Bowl and Syracuse in
the Gator Bowl in Johnson's sophomore
and junior seasons, respectively.
In 1968 the 6-4, 232-pound native of
Cleveland, Tenn., became the first player

Avrelius Thomas, Ohio State's ace 202pound lineman, played both ways for the
Buckeyes, winning All-America honors in
1957. He was a three-year starter on two
championship teams, including one that
went to the Rose Bowl. The 6-1 native of
Muskogee, Okla., grew up in Columbus,
Ohio, where he was a high school standout
before moving across town to enroll at
Ohio State.
Thomas has been in the insurance field
since his graduation in 1958.
Joe Aillet, who died in 1971, was head
coach and athletic director at Louisiana
Tech from 1940-70. An orphan, Aillet
was raised by a Catholic priest in
Louisiana. He graduated from the
University of Southwestern Louisiana in
1927 and coached high school football in
Haynesville, La., for nine years. After
four years as an assistant to Bemie Moore
at LSU, Aillet was offered the top job at
Louisiana Tech.
The Bulldogs won eight of the first 12
Gulf States Conference championships
under Aillet’s leadership. Among his
recruits was quarterback Terry Bradshaw,
who later went on to star for the Pittsburgh

Steelers. Aillet retired with a record of
151-86-8.
Louisiana Tech has named its stadium
and a scholastic fund in Aillet's honor.
Sid Gillmon coached in college and the
NFL for 35 years, and he once received
perhaps the ultimate compliment from the
legendary Paul "Bear" Bryant, whom
Gillman coached against when he was at
Cincinnati and Bryant was at Kentucky:
"He has the best football mind I've ever
met," Bryant said, although he added, "but
I don't think he ever beat me."
Gillman beat quite a few of his coach­
ing foes, though—en route to a 79-18-2
career record—at Miami (Ohio), where he
went 30-6-1, and at Cincinnati (49-12-1).
He left the collegiate ranks in 1955 for 31
years in the pros, with the Los Angeles
Rams, San Diego Chargers, Houston
Oilers, Dallas Cowboys, Chicago Bears
and Philadelphia Eagles. He also coached
the Oklahoma Outlaws in the United
States Football League. Among the high­
lights of his pro career were four AFC
Western Division titles for the Chargers,
including three straight (1963-65), and
two conference championships.
Gillman, who is also a member of the
Pro Football Hall of Fame, played college
football at Ohio State and was co-captain
of the 1933 Buckeyes.
Frank James Howord has long been
regarded as one of college football's most
colorful coaches. He spent his youth on an
Alabama farm playing cow-pasture base­
ball, and that rural background left its
imprint. But he was deadly serious about
football, a game he played or coached for
most of his adult life.

After playing for three years at Alabama
(1928-30), Howard became the offensive
line coach at Clemson, a job he held until
1940, when he inherited the head coaching
job from fellow Hall of Famer Jess Neely.
He guided the Tigers for 30 years, compil­
ing a 161-118-2 record. During that time
Clemson went to six bowl games—the
1949 and '52 Gator, the 1951 and '57

Forget that outside linebackers
have become glamour players, that
inside linebackers make most of the
tackles and that defensive backs carry
menacing monikers such as "Assassin"
and "Hit Man."
Football—real football—is played in
"The Pit," otherwise known as the line of
scrimmage. On every snap the line
becomes a maelstrom of bodies ready to
swallow up the player who makes the
first mistake. For every action there must
be an immediate and forceful reaction, or
someone will gain an edge. A series of
split-second decisions must be made,
which requires incredible concentration
and intensity. Not only is line play men­
tally demanding, it is the most violent
facet of football.
"Backs might get hammered, but not
on every play," said Nebraska defensive
line coach Charlie McBride. "On the line,
it's got to be done with everything you've
got on every play. You have to have men-

tal and physical toughness and not submit
to anything."
Given the choice, most college coaches
want to win with defense. Good defense
begins with good defensive-line play. Not
only are linemen the first with a chance to
stop the run, but also the first with a
chance to stop the pass. If they make
things difficult for the quarterback, the
secondary doesn't have to make a play.

Defensive linemen also make the
supreme sacrifice. More often than not,
their assignment is to occupy as many
offensive linemen as possible. That way
the linebackers, with better vision and the
mobility to see and chase the ball, remain
free. It's no coincidence that linebackers
almost always lead a team in tackles.
"We like to create a double-team situa­
tion whenever possible," said UCLA line

coach Mike Waufle of a lineman's job.
"It's kind of like a K-mart blue-light spe­
cial—two for the price of one."
An athlete must be a special breed in
order to play the defensive line.
"One thing I look for is competitive­
ness, a real never-give-up type of kid,"
said McBride. "I look for a kid who sacri­
fices. The great ones I've been around are
the ones who do more than their share off
the field."
"You have to have a defensive tempera­
ment," added Georgia defensive line coach
Steve Greer. "I look for a player who's got
a full motor. He's going to be around the
ball, wherever it is. It's not always the
biggest and strongest who are the good
linemen. You've got to find the ball.'''
Finding the right mental approach is one
thing. Finding the right mental approach
plus speed, quickness and a 6-6, 275-pound
frame is something else. As bilking rules
change to help offenses, defensive linemen
are evolving into sleek, sculptured athletes.
"You see more good defensive linemen as
streamlined athletic types now," said
McBride. Offensive linemen, however, can
be 290-pound fireplugs who sit back and
use their hands to make defensive linemen
fight their way around them.
According to Tulane line coach Bill
Shaw, a lineman needs three attributes:
"Speed, speed and speed. You can devel­
op toughness, but speed, quickness and
reaction ability are things that the great
ones have."
And Shaw knows something about great
linemen. While at Tennessee he coached
Reggie White, now an all-pro for the
Philadelphia Eagles.
Normally coacjhes want their tackles to
be tall, mainly to create vision problems
for the quarterback and to knock down
passes. Sometimes consistently disrupting
a quarterback's passing lanes is more
effective than a handful of sacks.
Noseguards are smaller, stockier, quicker
players who can take on blocks. They are
double-teamed for probably 90 percent of
every game.
"We look for an explosive guy who can
disrupt the center's block," said McBride.
"Danny Noonan [a former Nebraska AllAmerica] had tremendous leg explosion.
Tackles are the speed and finesse guys."
Defensive linemen may come in all
shapes and sizes, but defensive lines come
in either odd or even alignments. Even
fronts are generally known as "gapcontrol" defenses, meaning that each play­
er is responsible for a specific gap (the
lane between offensive players). In odd

LIFE IN THE PIT
fronts players line up directly opposite an
offensive player.
Although many teams currently deploy
multiple fronts—shifting back and forth
from odd to even, depending on the game
situation and the offensive alignment—

Georgia used the Split-60 for most of its
25 years under Vince Dooley, but is using
a true 3-4 this season under new head
coach Ray Goff.
"You can play a smaller, quicker defen­
sive line in the Split-60," said Georgia's

most college teams use a five-man or a
three-man front. They are essentially the
same, though some schools designate
"ends" in a 5-2 formation, while others
designate "outside linebackers" in a 3-4.
The responsibilities are often similar.
The down linemen are a noseguard and
two tackles. Usually the defense's best
tackle lines up on the left side. Most
offenses are right-handed and will run to
the defense's left more often.
Even-front teams deploy four down
linemen, set symmetrically on either side
of the ball. The inside players are called
guards or tackles, depending on a team's
terminology. The outside linemen are
called tackles or ends. Names for these
defenses run from Wide-Tackle Six to
Split-60.
"Our Wide-Tackle Six gives us a lot of
flexibility, with offenses becoming more
wide open and using one-back sets," said
Tulane's Shaw. "The ability to adapt is eas­
ier in an even front because of the dis­
placement of your personnel."

"We attack, feel the block and play what
we see," said Greer.
"Our philosophy is that every play is a
pass," said Nebraska's McBride. "That
way we come off the ball and we're on
the move."
Defensive lines can further disrupt the
offense by utilizing a variety of "stunts,"
which are veritable defensive plays. In a
common odd-front stunt, the three down
linemen will slant toward a particular side
of the ball in coordination with the
linebackers. In an even front the two
inside players may crisscross. Stunts and
blitzes—where linebackers shoot into
specific gaps—are used in passing situa­
tions, though some teams, like South
Carolina last year, used them to effectively

ond step," said Shaw, "he'll block you.
That's why quickness and reaction are
so important."
No matter what the front, the operative
word in defensive line play is "hands."
Linemen must use their hands to gain con­
trol of the offensive player. They use their
hands to attack the blocker and then to
shed him.
"We teach inside control of the blocker,"
said UCLA's Waufle. "The idea is to get
your hands inside of his hands, gain lever­
age and control him."
Added McBride, "Hand strength and
wrist strength are imperative. When you
take on a blocker from the side, you use
your forearm, but when you take him on
from the front, you use your hands."

Stopping the Pass

to supply pressure. This is where speed
becomes so important. Offensive linemen
are so big nowadays that running through
them is next to impossible. Defensive
linemen will employ a variety of head and
hip fakes, as well as liberal use of their
hands, to throw the offensive player out of
the way. "You have to be explosive,
destroy a lineman's center of gravity, be
relentless and work away from pressure,"
said McBride.
To be their most effective, linemen must
still work in unison, staying in their desig­
nated lanes and not giving the quarterback
room to escape.
Outside linemen, particularly in odd
fronts, are so-called "rush-contain" players.
Their responsibility is to rush the passer
while at the same time containing the out­
side, not allowing the quarterback to escape.

injuries for the entire season. Necks and
shoulders are the most susceptible. But
the advent of knee braces and a change in
blocking rules have helped to reduce the
number of knee injuries.
One given in every game is holding. An
offensive lineman holds on practically
every play. With so much commotion in the
middle, it's virtually impossible for an offi­
cial to make a clear call. Besides, the poten­
tial is there for a penalty on every snap.
Defenses can counter by wearing extratight jerseys that make it more difficult to
be grabbed, or even by taking karate train­
ing to promote hand strength and quick­
ness. In a way, every confrontatipn is
hand-to-hand combat.
"We don't let players gripe about hold­
ing," said Waufle.
"It's a part of the game,".'asserted
McBride. "I don't complain about it unless
they flat tackle us."

Letter Jackets, the traditional symbols of school spirit and of the commitment and sacrifice shared by teammates, are enjoying a revival in popularity.

etter jackets are back. They are hip.
You know this because Eddie
Murphy is wearing them in the
movies. You know this because
sales are up.

You know this because you are in
London, far across the sea, and you
come upon a teenage, punk girl with twotone hair—and she is wearing the letter
jacket from the University of Cincinnati.
"Uh, excuse me," you say. "Are you
from Ohio?"
"Naaow," says the girl with two-tone
hair. "I picked the jacket up in a second­
hand shop. I thought it was just ratty."
Just "ratty"? Fine. Just ratty. Hot or hip,
or just ratty. Pick your own adjectiye. But
know this: Letter sweaters and letter jack­
ets, which have been with us almost since
the opening kickoff of college football, will
not be punted into oblivion anytime soon.
Think about it. Letter sweaters have sur­
vived all sorts of chuckholes and derail­
ments along the fashion trail. They have
survived high-button collars and bellbottom trousers. They have survived rag­
time and the Beatles. They haven't always
been the hippest thing to wear—during the
late '60s and the '70s they went into a
major slump—^but they never approached
extinction. People have always worn them.
And when people are done wearing
them, they store them in their personal
archives (translation: the attic) as if they

As sales of letter jackets
and sweaters indicate,
it's still cool to be
true to your school.
were precious metal. With the exception of
a rogue jacket or two that may show up on
the punk streets of England, you simply
don't see any letter jackets or letter
sweaters in the Salvation Army stores of
America. Do you?
Of course not. The sweaters and jackets
are too valuable for that. Go ahead. Ask
their owners. Jesse Jackson still has his
blue and gold letter jacket from North
Carolina A&T. Burt Reynolds has his gar­
net and gold monogram from Florida
State. You can check it out.
Call up Larry Kelley, the 1936 Heisman
Trophy winner from Yale. He still has his
blue sweater with the big white Y stitched
on the front. Kelley has stashed it away for
safekeeping at his Florida home.
"It's a little moth-eaten, but it's in the
closet," Kelley said. "I get it out and hang
it on the wall now and then."
"When was the last time you tried it on?"

"About 65 pounds ago," Kelley said
with a laugh.
Call up Archie Griffin, the two-time
Heisman winner from Ohio State. He has
an even better story about his jacket.
"My dad has it," Griffin said. "I wore it
my freshman year, then left it at my par­
ents' house. One day I saw my dad wear­
ing my jacket and told him just to keep it.
He's had it ever since. In fact, he still
wears it now and then."
The question is, why do people grow so
attached to these blessed things? What
does it all mean? According to Dr.
Thomas Tutko, a sports psychologist from
San Jose State, the answer lies in our
innermost desires.
"It has to do with identity," said Tutko.
"Most of us want to identify with some­
thing. Oh, there isa small handful of peo­
ple who don't want to be identified with
anybody or anything. They want to be
hermits—loners. But the vast majority of
us want to identify, want to feel committed
to something.
"And there's one other thing," Tutko
explained. "The greater the degree of sac­
rifice, the greater the degree of commit­
ment. Guys on a football team share a
special experience. They sacrifice, they
win, they lose. A letter sweater is tied to a
whole series of those memories. And it
allows people to proclaim their identity to
the world."

Tutko's theories coincide, more or less,
with the views of those other well-known
American psychologists, the Beach Boys.
You may recall that in their 1963 treatise,
"Be True to Your School," the boys
offered their own views on the phe­
nomenon by singing, "I've got the letter on
my sweater, with the letter in front ... I
like to wear it now, when I cruise around
the other parts of town."
Indeed, those cruising days of the '50s
and '60s may have been the salad days of
letter jackets and sweaters—although the
concept of letter sweaters predates the con­
cept of cruising by more than six decades.
No conclusive proof exists, but legend
has it that letter sweaters were invented at
Yale University in 1872. Members of the
Yale football team began wearing a Y
monogram on their uniforms. Then it
became a tradition for the team's captain to
have his picture taken in front of a wall on
campus while wearing a formal blue
sweater with a T on the front. Soon, other
schools began to follow Yale's lead. This,
at least, is the version accepted by histori­
ans at the College Football Hall of Fame,
as well as by Jim Campbell, a former his­
torian at the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
"It's one of those deals that nobody kept
records on because nobody realized the
historical significance of it," said
Campbell, who is now the alumni director
at Susquehanna University.
"I do know one thing for a fact,"
Campbell said. "The first lettermen's club
was organized by Amos Alonzo Stagg at
the University of Chicago in 1905. He
once wrote that when he was attending
Yale in 1888, there was a letter system in
place, although there was no official cere­
mony involved. Therefore, when Stagg
became the coach at Chicago, he orga­
nized the Order of the C, and held an
annual dinner to honor the lettermen.'.'
From there the idea spread across the
nation like some giant chenille chain letter.
Across the nation schools began honoring
athletes with monogranuned A's (Arkansas,
Amherst) and monogranuned FCs (Kansas,
Kentucky) and even monogrammed Q's
(Queens, Quincy).
In the years before World War II,
sweaters were the preferred means for dis­
playing the letters. The now-familiar pile
jackets with leather sleeves did not become
popular until the '50s. And once those
leather-sleeved jackets became popular,
nothing could stop them. They became the
symbol of an era. Guys wore them to pick
up girls. Girls wore their boyfriends' jack­
ets to show their romantic devotion. This

The longest streak in campus wear, Yale's letter
sweater tradition remains strong after 100 years.
lasted until the mid-'60s, when the political
times suddenly made letter jackets a posi­
tively square proposition.
Pat Mclnally, a Harvard wide receiver
from 1972-74, remembers receiving his
letter sweater and immediately sticking it
into his chest of drawers, where it stayed.
"I never even put it on," said Mclnally,
who went on to an 11-year pro career. "It
just didn't seem like the cool thing to do,
you know, wearing it around campus, even
though it was a great-looking sweater."
The pendulum began to swing back in
the late '70s, spurred by the popularity of
television's "Happy Days" series, which
was peppered with letter jackets.
It became socially acceptable to wear
your school loyalty on your sleeve again,
especially at universities in the Midwest.
Not everywhere, though. At the University
of Miami, the country's most tropical
Division I school, neither sweaters nor
jackets are awarded. The reason is obvi­
ous: Palm trees and wool don't mix.
One day an art gallery will wise up and
organize a display of letter sweaters and
jackets for the world to enjoy. It could
include the classics (Michigan's maize and
blue) and the new wave (Idaho's silver and
gold) and the environmentally sound
(Tulane's olive green and sky blue).
Examples of fine design, every one.

But. . . well, let's be frank. There have
been some bone-ugly jackets over the
years, too.
Not that you'd ever get Jerry Thoreson
to admit it. He's the president of Centralia
Knitting Mills in Centralia, Wash., one of
the nation's largest manufacturers of award
jackets. Thoreson's company cranks out up
to 20,(XK) of them a year, and he's never
met a color combination he doesn't like.
"You've never had an order that struck
you as strange?" he was asked.
"Never," Thoreson answered. "Well,
one time this school—I'd rather not tell
you the name—^wanted a royal blue jacket
with black and kelly green stripes. It
doesn't sound so good, does it? But I'll tell
you, it turned out to be kind of pretty once
we got it done."
Thoreson has worked for Centralia, his
family's company, since 1946. As he has
watched sweaters and jackets roll off his
assembly line, has he thought of all the
great athletes who might wear them? Not
actually, he said. Instead, he thinks about
their timelessness.
"Right now," Thoreson said over the
phone, "I've got an old letter sweater here,
draped over a chair in my office. It's from
1943, I think, from the University of
Washington. The cuffs are worn out and
really frayed. But someone brought it in
here to have it repaired because he's got a
class reunion pretty soon, and he wants to
wear the sweater. Isn't that something?"
Meanwhile, he believes the jacket rack­
et has an extremely bright future.
"They're bigger than ever," Thoreson
said. "We ha^^ 20 percent increase in
jacket sales Idst year. I think female ath­
letes are really starting to buy them, which
has helped. But I also think sweaters are
making a comeback. They started going
downhill at the end of the '40s, when those
jackets with the leather sleeves got big. To
counteract that, my dad started making
sweaters with leather sleeves. But they
didn't take hold."
Thank goodness.
"So it's been jackets for the last 30
years," said Thoreson. "But now it seems
to be switching back. The last few years
we've been making a lot more sweaters. A
lot more. I think it's kind of nice."
Kind of nice? Just ratty is more like it.

Honoring men from more than 100
schools, the Hall of Fame salutes the per­
formers from the largest schools in the
nation and some of the smaller—Hobart,
Centre and the University of the South, to
name a few. Schools ranging from Alabama
to Yale have contributed names to the
shrine, which includes the likes of Hickman,
a star Tennessee lineman who later coached
at Yale and became famous for quoting
lengthy Shakespearean sonnets and scenes.

immortality by scoring five touchdowns

Heston, later a judge, were known as the
"Point-a-Minute" squads for their prolific
scoring. Michigan won the first Rose
Bowl, 49-0, in 1902.
Frankie Albert of Stanford, the superb
left-handed passing quarterback of the era
just before World War II, and Albie Booth,
Yale's little "watch-fob" quarterback of a
decade earlier, are there.
Films of famous games, primitive early
equipment and a computer loaded with
facts about the game's history are also part
of the Hall of Fame. Another useful fea­
ture is a research library that offers not
only books, but programs and artifacts
from the game's formative years.
Opened in 1978, the Hall of Fame is the
culmination of many years of effort by the
National Football Foundation and Hall of
Fame to develop a suitable facility to
honor the history of college football.
Originally, it was hoped that the Hall
of Fame could be located in New
Brunswick, N.J., where the game general­
ly acknowledged to be the first in college
football took place in 1869, matching
Rutgers and Princeton.
However, financial and other difficul­
ties made that location impossible, and
Kings Island came forth with a site locat­
ed just off Interstate 71 in a rural setting
near a variety of other family entertain­
ment facilities, including a Jack Nicklaus
golfing complex.
Its convenient location brings thousands
of visitors annually. One of the more inter­
esting guests, in the summer of 1986, was
the oldest living member of the hall itself,
Hamilton Fish, the captain of Harvard's
1909 squad. Fish, a U.S. congressman for
26 years who represented upstate New
York, is now 101 years old.
More than 500 players and 100 coaches
are enshrined, including those Four
Horsemen. (Who were the Four Horsemen,
you ask? They were Notre Dame's 1924
backfield of Harry Stuhldreyer, Don
Miller, Elmer Layden and Jim Crowley.)
These four men and the many stars from
other eras help make College Football's
Hall of Fame one of the more complete
and interesting halls of its type. It is well
worth a visit.

was amazing."
Nelson's work with the Army-Navy
game had begun even earlier. As soon as
he joined NBC in 1952, the budding, 33year-old sportscaster had the privilege of
meeting President Harry S. Truman prior
to the kickoff at Philadelphia.
"One of my duties was to deliver a
handful of programs to President Truman,"
Nelson told a Philadelphia reporter years
later. "Nowadays you look back and won­
der why the heck I had to.do that.
"I mean, I was going on the air in an
hour, and there I was out in the brush
behind the stadium waiting for Truman's
train to come in from Washington. Like I
didn't have better things to do on my first
Army-Navy broadcast."
Nelson even has fond memories of the
stadium, later named after John F.
Kennedy, despite working conditions that

weren t pleasant. The press box was far
rom the field, and announcers had to
work directly behind the photo booth.
’’You were slanted so far back from the
field you were practically in Camden
IN.J.J, he mused. "You didn't have any
height, and the place was constructed
with the photo deck in front of the
announcers' booth.
"I'll never forget a newsreel cameraman
who was about 6-8 and 275 pounds. That
guy stood in front of me three or four
years, and I couldn't see a damn thing
from the 20-yard line on down. I hope it
never showed, what I couldn't see."
Nelson s link with the Army-Navy game
was also not without historical signifi­
cance. The 1963 clash featured junior
Navy quarterback Roger Staubach, who
later won Heisman Trophy honors.
The game marked the advent of the
instant replay, a fact that Nelson discov­ Beginning in 1952 Nelson did the radio on NBC’s

Nelson remembered.
"He said, 'I don't know if we'll use it or you re going to have to explain it to the au­

was the way I should describe a game."
Nelson's lack of personal involvement
was a benefit during the early years of the
woeful Mets, whose game he broadcast
for 17 years. He actually enjoyed the
losses as much as the victories because of
one man.
"I'm associated more with football," he
noted, "but my favorite character in sports
will always be Casey Stengel. Those days
with him and the early Mets were an
incredible experience."
When he switched from the Mets to the
Giants in 1979, Nelson moved to San
Francisco and cut back on his other broad­
casting work. He was with the Giants only
three years, but sidekick Hank Greenwald
remembers those days fondly.
"Lindsey was the least affected bigname guy I'd ever been around," Green­
wald said. "He had so many outside
interests, so he wasn't strictly into sports.
What 1 remember most about him, though,
is that he always conducted himself as
a gentleman.
"I recall Lindsey telling me a broadcast­
er shouldn't get caught up in wins and

"He says, 'It's a camera with the capabil­
ity of playing back right away what you
just saw on the screen. We don't have to
rewind or anything. We just play it back.'
Early in the game, Rollie Stichweh, the
Army quarterback, rolled out and dove for
a touchdown from the two.
"Suddenly, I hear Tony: 'OK, here it
comes, Linz. You've got to explain it
now.' So I'm practically screaming: 'This
is not another touchdown, folks. This is
what you just saw. We're going to show it
to you again.'
"So it runs, he dives in, and after it's
over I'm thinking, 'Well, whaddya know?'
I was amazed," Nelson concluded.
The affable announcer was frequently
amazed during a spectacular career of cov­
ering virtually every major sporting event,
yet he was unemotional and careful not to
be part of the excitement. He merely want­
ed to report it.
"Gen. Neyland tried to give me advice
when I began broadcasting Tennessee

you'll start sounding as bad as they are. I
guess he learned that from his Mets days."
Following his departure from the Giants
in 1981, Nelson went into semi-retirement
as a broadcaster, but he kept active by
writing his memoirs and by joining the
University of Tennessee faculty in 1986 as
adjunct professor of broadcasting, con­
ducting seminars and workshops.
Nelson, who lives not far from the
Tennessee campus, will always be
remembered for the indelible imprint he's
left on sports broadcasting. But he will
also be known for a sharp sense of humor,
as evidenced by his three rules of life:
"Never play poker with a man named
'Ace'; never eat at a place called 'Mom's';
and never invest in anything that eats or
that needs paint." *■*

reality, was intended to rep­

In theory, the proposal

colleges—such as Michigan
State or Notre Dame—vote
as a unit on legislation re­

cumbered by votes from
colleges that, by criteria
articulated in the legislation,
did not have comparable

teams such as those in the
Ivy League, the great­
grandfather of college foot­

Division I-AA status, and
thus would not be able to
vote on matters pertaining
to Division I football.
Actually, however, the
intent was much deeper than
that. When the NCAAmember colleges considered
whether to carve Division I

The actual separation of

Of the 144 colleges play­

the actual separation took
place), 79 met those criteria.
Although the concept of
forming Division I-AA was

20 of the division's records, including
most catches (301), most reception yards
(4,693), most TD receptions (50) and most
catches per game (7.3).
Another shining Division I-AA alumnus
is Neil Lomax, the first selection of the St.
Louis Cardinals in the 1981 draft, who has
been named all-pro on several occasions.
Lomax still holds the division's record
for most passes attempted in a game (77
vs. Northern Colorado); he completed 44.
He also holds the mark for career attempts
(1,606), career completions (938) and
career yards passing (13,220).
Additionally, he holds records, ih several
total-offense (rushing plus passing) cate­
gories. He set the standard for most plays
in a season (611) and in a career (13,345),
and for most yards gained in three years
(11,647 in 1978-80) and in four years
(13,345 in 1977-80).
Perhaps the most well-known Division
I-AA player of recent years, however, is
Gordie Lockbaum, who captured the atten­
tion of the nation by being a standout twoway player for Holy Cross. Lockbaum's
play, in fact, was so well-noted that he
became a serious candidate for the Heisman
Trophy in both his junior and senior years.
In 1986 Lockbaum had the fifth-best
all-purpose yardage total in I-AA history.
He rushed for 827 yards, caught passes for
860 yards, returned two interceptions for
34 yards, and had 452 yards on kickoff
returns for 2,173 net yards. Both that year
and the following season he finished sec­
ond in the all-purpose net yards race,
behind Division I-AA All-America run­
ning back Ke;fny Gamble of Colgate.
Ironically,* much of the attention focused
on Lockbaum occurred because he was
considered a throwback to earlier, more
innocent times in college football—a time
when the term "student-athlete" was not
considered by some to be a contradiction
in terms, when "drug testing" and
"steroids" weren't household phrases, and
when athletes were expected—and want­
ed—to play both offense and defense. A
two-way player in this day and age was
both refreshing and reminiscent of an ear­
lier, less complicated era. And just such a
player flourished in Division I-AA—not
an inferior division, just different.

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

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 use them to
achieve dramatic effects... like stack­
ing the Bears’ defense to make it look
even more imposing than 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, a telephoto, zoom or single
length, is virtually a necessity. In such a
location, you won’t be able to get physi­
cally clo^e’enough to the action to get
any kirjd 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 under the 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.

'The Golien Greek'
shined brightly for
Boston University's football
team and for pro
baseball's Red Sox, but
he died tragically
at age 25.
arry Agganis' nickname was
"The Golden Greek" and no
sobriquet could have fit better.
The seventh and last child of firstgeneration Greek parents, Agganis
had a golden touch right out of
Greek mythology.
Put a football, basketball or baseball in
his hands and Agganis would produce
golden memories for anyone who watched
him. Yet he remained modest and unas­
suming while the world around pro­
claimed his greamess.
But Agganis’ life story would also have
the classic ending of a Greek tragedy.
During his second season with the Boston
Red Sox, Agganis—despite having the
body of an Adonis—died at the age of 25
from a pulmonary embolism.
There had been early indications that
this native of West Lynn, Mass., was
something special. At age 13, the 6-0,190pound Agganis was selected to represent
his home state in baseball at the Esquire
Games in Chicago.
While attending Lynn Classical High
School Agganis was probably the most
publicized schoolboy athlete in the coun­
try. He was outstanding in football, basket­
ball and baseball.
In his three years as Classical’s starting
quarterback, Agganis threw for 4,149

H

Harry Agganis was recruited by Notre Dame, but he
chose Boston University, a school closer to home.

TOUCHDOWN ILLUSTRATED

Bowl stadium in Miami, Ha., against
Grandy, Va. Agganis’ hand was
stepped on in the first quarter of the
game, swelling to the size of a
grapefruit. He was limited to just
three passing attempts in the contest,
but all three went for touchdowns
and Classical won.
In Agganis' senior year in
high school he gave a leg­
endary performance in a game
against Gloucester, in which
he completed an amazing 27
passes in a row.
When the colleges came
recruiting in 1948, Agganis
was a hot item. Notre Dame
coach Frank Leahy desperately
wanted the southpaw quarterback,
but family devotion kept Agganis
close to home, at Boston University.
"It was devotion to his widowed mother
that prevented him from going far
away to college," said Harold Zimman,
an assistant football coach at Classical
during Agganis' career there. "I think
there were something like 75 colleges
interested in Harry."
So Agganis landed at BU, and
Terrier fans couldn’t wait until he
stepped behind center for a varsity
game. In the days before freshman
eligibility, 19,000 fans showed up at
Fitton Field in Worcester for a frosh
game between BU and Holy Cross.
BU fans finally got their wish in
1949—^and Agganis didn’t let them down.
In eight varsity games he threw 15 touch­
down passes, a Terrier record until recent­
ly. He rushed for an average of 5.4 yards
per carry, had a punting average of 46.5,
kicked off, often kicked points-after and
was a demon in the secondary at safety.
Bob Whelan, a retired teacher and
coach from Natick, Mass., played halfback
for one year at BU while Agganis was the
quarterback. "There are so many things
that I remember about Harry Agganis,"
Whelan said. "He was self-assured, almost
cocky, on the field, but not in a bad way.
He had great speed and could really throw

the ball. He was the complete quarterback.
Harry always knew where he was on the
field. In that way he was very similar to
Doug Flutie."
Dick Fecteau, who was two years older
than Agganis, had grown up in the same
West Lynn neighborhood, just two streets
from the Agganis household. Fecteau was
a reserve guard at BU and played one sea­
son with Agganis. "Harry got more publi­
city than anyone I've ever seen," Fecteau
said. "He handled it just right. He almost
seemed amused by all the fiiss. Harry was
smart enough to just smile and keep his
mouth shut. He was a great guy and a
great player."
George Winkler, who played end at BU,
was on the receiving end of many of
Agganis' passes. "Harry was the type of
guy who made you play better," said
Winkler. "And he was an outstanding lead­
er on and off the field. My first impression
was that he could throw Ae ball. He knew
when to throw it hard or soft, and he could
do both well. He took complete command
of the huddle. Even as a sophomore he
was in complete charge."
BU coach Aldo "Buff" Donelli was
plarming for Agganis to have an outstand­
ing year in 1950. He wasn't planning on
the Korean conflict taking his quarterback
away. Agganis probably could have got­
ten a deferment because of his widowed
mother, but instead he went into the
Marine reserves and spent a year at
Camp Lejeune.
In September 1951 Agganis returned,
playing against William & Mary just two
days later in a 34-25 Terrier loss. He
ended up passing for 1,402 yards and 14
touchdowns that season. On defense he
grabbed 15 interceptions. He won the

Bulger Lowe Award that year as New
England's outstanding football player.
Following his junior year at BU Agganis
was drafted No. 1 by the Cleveland
Browns because his class had already grad­
uated. Owner Paul Brown, who had called
Agganis "the most complete football play­
er in the country," had a grand design for
replacing aging veteran Otto Graham with
"The Golden Greek." But once again fami­
ly devotion won out and Agganis returned
to BU for his final year.

throw touchdown passes, and the effec­
tiveness of his passes. I don't think any­
one in the country came close to him in
fewest interceptions. And in three years of
varsity football, I don't think he was
sacked four times."
Archie Cataldi, head football coach at
Clinton (Mass.) High School, played for
three years at BU with Agganis. More than
37 years later Cataldi is still in awe of his
former teammate. "Harry was a great,
great football player as well as being a

Harry Agganis was a star on the football and bnebril fields for Boston University, but, at his mother’s urging,
he chose the less-haardous baseball as his profes^on. In 1954 he signed to play with the Boston Bed Sox.
Injuries slowed him down somewhat in
1952, but there were still some memorable
moments. He tossed four touchdown pass­
es that year against William & Mary,
including three in one quarter. He pass^
for 264 yards against Syracuse, a game in
which he completed 23 passes.
Donelli stood in awe of his quarterback
after seeing him perform at the varsity
level for three seasons. "Agganis was a

like a 40-34 score. Harry was involved in
almost every single play. It was one of the
most outstanding individual performances
I've ever seen."
Agganis had been an All-New England
performer in baseball at BU in 1949 and
1952. When it came time to decide
between a professional baseball or foot­
ball career, Agganis bent to his mother's

ALL-AMERICAN RUNNING BACK ELBERT COLE
freshman. Cole gained 290 yards on 52 attempts and 1 touch­
down. His yard per carry mark of 5.6 was second only to
Faulkner's 6.5 ypc. On the receiving end he grabbed 11 passes
for 170 yards and 3 scores.
In '87, Cole stepped into the starting role when
Faulkner went down with an ankle injury and has solidified
the tailback position to date. As a sophomore, he led the Plaid
with 635 yards on the ground and 8 touchdowns. He was also
the squad's top receiver with 24 catches covering 251 yards
and a score.
For his efforts as a soph. Cole was tabbed first team
PSAC-West in a season where he began the year as the num­
ber two tailback on the team's depth chart.
Last year. Cole came into his own being named Hon­
orable Mention All-American by the Associated Press as well
as first team PSAC-West once again. He led the Plaid in rush­
ing (909 yards), touchdowns (10), and scoring (88 points) in
'88.
This season, he has gone over 100 yards in each of
the first five weeks and still has half the season remaining to
reach his goal of 1,000 yards. "It is more the goal of my offen­
sive line," Cole said. "They deserve the credit for the num­
bers. But more importantly, we are in the thick of the race for
the national playoffs.
Clearing the way for Cole this season has been the
solid play of centers Dave Pinkerton, Tom Izydorczak; guards
Joe Brooks, Brad Powell, Dean Gallagher, and John Dickman;
and tackles Ron Hainsey, Wally Spisak, and Curtis Rose. "It is
important that they have their names mentioned. They are
doing a great job up front," smiled Cole.
With all of Cole's accomplishments on the gridiron,
one would think his name would frequent the EU record
books. This is not the case. Cole will likely only hold the
career attempt mark after this season but is making a strong
run at the season total of 1,358 set by Raines in 1971. To
break the record he would have to average over 124 yards per
game on the ground. To date. Cole has 518 carries totalling
2,576 yards and 27 touchdowns on the ground for the Boro.
He is hoping that the squad has more than five games
remaining. "It would be a great way to go out. We have a long
way to go but it is a great thought," he added.
Cole is helping to "carry" the Scots into contention
for the national playoffs. He is leading the PS AC in rushing
and is among the best in the nation.
Not bad for a walk on.

He has saved his
best for last.
Edinboro Universi­
ty Fighting Scot running
back Elbert Cole is in his
final season of collegiate
football and the Rochester,
NY, native is going out in
grand style.
Playing in the shad­
ow of past greats. Cole has
quietly emerged as one of
the best running backs in
Edinboro history. The
numbers speak for them­
selves, but there is a whole
lot more to the Elbert Cole
success story.
Originally a walkon player for the Scots in 1986, Cole immediately made an
impact on the Scot football program in his initial game as a
freshman. The little-known tailback grabbed the game-win­
ning touchdown against Wayne State on the game's final play,
to boost the Plaid to a 27-24 win.
Going into the sixth game of the 1989 season this
week. Cole has carried the football more times than any other
running back in Edinboro history. He has simply earned the
record through hard work and an intense desire to excel.
When he carried the ball for the 14th time last week
in a 12-7 win over Clarion University, Cole passed former
great A1 Raines (1969-71) for most career attempts. Through
33 games he totals 518 carries.
For a man just 5-9, you might think he would be vul­
nerable to injury. "First of all, I try not to take a big hit from
the defense," commented Cole. "I try to be elusive. If you
want to carry the ball, you have to stay healthy. I also have
been very fortunate to have good offensive lines blocking in
front of me. This season, they are just clearing the way and I
run to the openings."
Cole also stresses an intense weight training and con­
ditioning program in the off-season.
Entering week six. Cole posts stats that rank him as
one of the best in the country on tihe Division II level. In '89,
he totals 742 yards rushing on 114 carries and 9 touchdowns.
He is averaging 148.4 yards per game and nets 6.5 yards per
attempt. His per game mark puts him in the top five national­
ly.
Even more impressive is the fact that Cole has
accounted for 44% of the Fighting Scot offense and has 33%
of the teams' points. His 11.2 points per game average also
puts Cole in the Division II elite. He has been voted PSACWest Player of the Week twice already and was voted Divi­
sion II National Player of the Week for his effort against
Kutztown.
Fighting Scot head coach Tom Hollman has had the
pleasure of coaching Cole over the last two seasons. "I made
the statement at the beginning of the year that Elbert is as
good as anyone around," commented the Coach, "He is a
tough player who enjoys the challenge. He is an exceptional
athlete and an exceptional person."
Cole started his career at the Boro in the fall of 1986
playing behind the likes of All-PS AC performers Floyd
Faulkner and Ross Rankin. Playing in just seven games as a

The efforts of the young women and men who represent their univer­
sities deserve commendation. National champions, regional champions,
All-Americans, and top scholar athletes may be found throughout the
Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference. These students sacrifice in many
ways for the privilege of competing in intercollegiate sports. The blend­

applauded.
Recognition must also be given to the excellent coaching staffs. It is
their know-how and leadership which make this competition possible.

In 1988:

EDINBORO BLASTS LOCK HAVEN 45-7
5 times during the drive for 14 yards and caught 1 pass from
Galupi for 7 yards while Conway had 22 yards on 2 carries,
Weber went four for four and the Scots led 28-7.
The Clan scored once more in the third quarter, this
one following an interception by comerback Wade Smith that
gave Galupi and company the ball on the LH 23. Cole capped
off the short drive with a 1-yard run and Weber added the PAT,
Edinboro led 35-7 at the end of the third period.
Edinboro sparked early in the fourth when Scot
defender Jason Benham blocked an Eagle punt. Edinboro got
the ball on the LH 20-yard line. The Eagle defense made a
stand and Edinboro settled for a 30-yard field goal by Weber
to make the score 38-7,
The final score of the game came with only 2:28 left,
when Scot linebacker Jason Harmon intercepted an errant
Eagle pass and returned it 22 yards to the Lock Haven 15-yard
line. Following a 14-yard run by FB Clare, RB Scott Ander­
son carried the ball 3 times, finally crossing the goal line from
1 yard out. Weber's sixth PAT of the day made the final score
Edinboro 45, Lock Haven 7.
The win moved Edinboro's record to 34 overall and
2-1 in the PSAC. Lock Haven dropped to 1-5-1 ^ind 0-3-1 in
the PS AC.

Edinboro University traveled to Lock Haven Univer­
sity fresh off a 35-0 drubbing of Clarion and came away with
an impressive 45-7 victory.
The Scots blew it open early. Scot tailback Elbert
Cole opened the scoring midway through the first period with
a 1-yard touchdown run to cap off a 46-yard drive. Cole was
the catalyst in the drive, carrying the ball 6 times for 29 yards.
'Boro place-kicker Darren Weber's PAT was good, and Edin­
boro had an early 7-0 lead. Three minutes later, the Scots
struck again.
With the defense giving them good field position,
Edinboro started the drive on the Lock Haven 40. After a
short Cole run and a fumble that put Edinboro back on the LH
40-yard line, Scot signal caller Hal Galupi dropped back and
launched a rocket to wide receiver John Toomer that was good
for a 42-yard touchdown. With 3:00 left in the opening quar­
ter, Edinboro was up 14-0.
The second quarter was scoreless until the final half­
minute when Galupi connected with Toomer for a second TD
pass, this one a 16 yarder, Edinboro started the drive on the
LH 46, the Scot defense playing strong again. After three runs
by Cole, two by fullbacks Matt Koehle and Steve Clare,
Galupi capped off the drive with the Toomer TD pass and
Edinboro took a 21-0 lead into the half.
The opening kickoff of the third period saw lighting
strike for Lock Haven. 'Boro kicker Weber booted the ball
deep to LH returner Guy Wade. Wade took the ball on the
Scot 14 and proceeded to rumble 86 yards for a touchdown
and Lock Haven had cut the lead to 21-7. But that was to be
their only score of the day,
Edinboro answered right back on the next drive.
Gaining possession at their own 39, the Scots used the legs of
running backs Cole and Chris Conway to drive the ball down
to the LH 5-yard line. From there, Galupi connected for his
third touchdown pass of the day, this one a 5 yarder to the
Scots other star wide-out Cleveland Pratt. Cole carried the ball
