Scots Host Fairmont State
THE GAME:
THE OFFENSES:
The Scots host Fairmont State College with Pizza Hut
serving as the game sponsor. At half time Pizza Hut will hold
an "All You Can Eat Pizza Contest" for the fraternities and
sororities.
Jody Dickerson (98-182-1,313-7 td-13 int) directs the
offense and looks for Wrentie Martin (39-607-3 td), Lateef
Walters (21-434-1 td), Paul Stone (8-107) and tight end Brian
Heebsh (12-141-2 td).
Derrick Russell (58-300-3 td) got the call against lUP and
responded with 102 yards and a pair of scores. The status of
Lester Frye (128-637-11 td) and Derrick Lewis (57-282-2 td) is
questionable following a game suspension. Freshman Larry
Jackson (24-156-1 td) is another threat. Blocking up front
continues to be Gordy Hitchcock, Wally Spisak, Curtis Rose,
Mike Kegarise and Scott Nickel.
The Falcons counter with the running of tailback Irwin
Hastings (222-1,080-8 td), a transfer from Kent State. He
averages over 120 yards per game.
FSC is expect^ to start Aramis Rgueora (40-92-496-2 td-6
int) over center. Hastings (12-92-1 td) can also catch the ball
out of the backfield while Bryan Wilson (12-141-2 td) and Eric
Ritz (11-196) are solid wideouts. Ritz is questionable after
missing the Shepherd game with injury.
The Falcons love to run the ball evidence of their 201
yards per game average on the ground.
THE RECORDS:
The Boro looks to recover from 20-17 setback from lUP.
This was the first time that the Plaid lost at home to a Division
II school under Tom Hollman. Edinboro has dropped three of
their last four games.
Edinboro opened with a loss at I-AA YSU 24-0 then
rebounded with wins over Northwood (25-14), Southern
Connecticut (35-16), Bloomsburg (23-21), Clarion (17-9), and
Lock Haven (28-12). The Plaid fell at Shippensburg (45-7) then
drilled California (45-10) before suffering their second shutout
of the season at the Rock (7-0).
Fairmont owns a forfeit win over West Virginia Tech and a
tie with West Liberty (10-10) and stand at 1-7-1. They have
fallen to Clarion (24-21), Slippery Rock (32-7), WV Wesleyan
(3-0), Concord (21-16), Glenville (44-34), WV State (27-25) and
most recently Shepherd (33-16).
THE DEFENSES:
THE SERIES:
The Boro looks to contain the ground game with the play
of All-American tackle John Messura (62 tackles-14 for loss-6
sacks), linemate Russell Cray (39) and ends Delvin Pickett (619 for loss-6 sacks) and Anthony Mariani (38).
The linebacking crew has been strong as of late with Jason
Perkins (122-7 for loss-4 sacks-2 int), Joel Marratta (81-4 for
loss-4 sacks), Mike Barnes (77) and Steve Russell (41-2 sacks-2
int).
The secondary has improved spearheaded by Georj Lewis
(45-2 rec) who will start his 34th consecutive game at the
corner. Wade Smith (67) is at free safety while Mario Houston
(68-1 int) is at the other back spot.
FSC has picked 18 enemy passes and is a threat to
Dickerson. SS Derek Judd (54 stops) owns 5 interceptions
while CB Vashon Page (75) has 3 and 12 deflections. MLB Matt
Joseph (128-2 int-2 rec-3 sacks-2 blk kicks) is outstanding. Up
front, end Deion Frazier (68-3 rec-8 blk passes) and Allon
Sansom (60) are both active.
This will be the second time that both teams have ended
the regular season against one another. Fairmont holds a 6-3-2
record over the Scots. The series started with a 0-0 tie back in
73. In 7 of the 11 battles, games have been decided by 9 points
or less. In the series, the Scots have tallied 160 points to the
Falcons 169.
THE COACHES:
Hollman stands at 28-14-1 including an impressive 18-5-1
slate against western foes. Hollman's overall head coaching
slate of 52-25-2 (.658%) ranks high among active Division II
coaches. The Scots have been 5-4-1, 8-3, 9-3 and currently 6-4
under Hollman.
Veteran coach Wally Hood directs the Falcons. His eightyear slate with FSU is 41-35-4. Hood's overall slate in 17 years
of collegiate coach is 90-74-7.

academics, athletics, and special programs,
and proud to support the 1991-92 football
season.
President Foster F. Diebold
Since his appointment as president of Edinboro University of Pennsylvania
on August 1, 1979, Foster R Diebold has initiated a wide variety of policies and
programs designed to complement his desire for an increased level of excel
lence and quality in higher education.
The Orange, New Jersey, native is a graduate of Monmouth College and
also holds a master of arts in educational administration from Seton Hall Uni
versity. He has met coursework requirements for a doctorate in education at
Rutgers University and is currently completing the dissertation requirement for
the Ph.D. program in higher education at the University of Pittsburgh.
Prior to his presidency of Edinboro University, President Diebold was pres
ident of the University of Alaska and the director of development and planning
at Kean College in New Jersey. He has also served as an assistant superinten
dent of the Neptune Township (New Jersey) Public Schools.
Recognized for his extensive experience in the field of educational manage
ment, President Diebold's principal professional interests include ethics in high
er education, budget development and fiscal control, legislative affairs,
international education, personnel management and collective bargaining, and
institutional advancement.
Foster F. Diebold
His scholarly achievements in the discipline of applied ethics in higher edu
cation deserves special mention. The model statement he authored for the
American Association of State Colleges and Universities, "Ethical Practices for
College Presidents," was unanimously adopted by that professional organiza
tion and published as policy for the chief executives of its nearly 400 member
institutions nationwide. It has also been adopted by the Pennsylvania State Sys
tem of Higher Education Board of Governors as a guiding statement for presi
dents of those institutions.
A staunch advocate of a statewide system of public universities in Pennsyl
vania, President Diebold supported the enabling legislation for the State System
of Higher Education (Act 188 of 1982) and saw the State System come to exis
tence in 1983 as a member of the transition team. He currently serves on the
System's Executive Council of Presidents and on the boards of the Pennsylvania
Academy for the Profession of Teaching, the Pennsylvania State Athletic Con
ference, and the University Center at Harrisburg.
For his leadership and scholarly achievement on an international scale and
for his many contributions to advancements of higher education and enrich
ment of an emerging culture in Pakistan, President Diebold was decorated with
prestigious gold medals from three Pakistani universities. The awards for edu
cational eminence were presented during visits to the Edinboro campus by offi
cial Pakistani delegations. Active in the community, he serves on the Board of
Directors of the Erie Conference on Community Development, the United Way
of Erie County, the Board of Corporators of both St. Vincent Health Center and
Hamot Medical Center, and on the Executive Committee of the French Creek
Council of the Boy Scouts of America. He is also a member of the Marine Bank
Advisory Board, the Advisory Board of the McMannis Educational Trust Fund,
and the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Corporation Scholarship Review Committee.
President Diebold resides in Edinboro with his wife, Patricia, and daugh
ters, Jessica and Stacey.

Athletic Director James K. 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.
Through his efforts more than $4 million has been raised during the
past ten 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 sixteen intercollegiate sports.
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.
Jim McDonald
Fifty-six camps were sponsored by the Fighting Scots Booster Club this
past summer on the University's campus. Sox Harrison Stadium is the site of
the Cleveland Browns vs. the Buffalo Bills annual rookie scrimmage, which has
been a nrdd-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 (1962-1975) 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 Confer
ence 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.

West Virginia Wesleyan College and he also holds a master's degree in health
from the University of Buffalo.
As an undergraduate, he set nine school records at Wesleyan and was

ond 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 All-Tournament Team in 1959 and 1960.

The Edinboro University Fighting
Scot football team, under the direction of
four-year coach Tom Hollman, will look
to remain among the NCAA Division II
elite in 1991 as they set their sights on a
third consecutive trip to the national
playoffs.
Hollman, a 1968 graduate of Ohio
Northern University, has earned high
marks as the Scot mentor, leading Edin
boro to a 22-10-1 overall mark and con
secutive appearances in the NCAA
playoffs. Even more impressive is his 152-1 slate in the Pennsylvania State Athlet
ic Conference Western Division.
Hollman's overall coaching mark of 4621-2 (.681%) ranks 11th among active
Division II coaches.
The 1991 Scots return 14 starters and
40 lettermen from their 9-3 squad and
will once again battle for PSAC West
supremacy. The Scots captured the west
ern crown two years ago and took second
in 1990. Edinboro won their first ever
Division II playoff game last November
with a 38-14 win over Virginia Union
then fell to arch-rival lUP 14-7 in the
NCAA quarterfinals.
The Scots will once again face a
rugged schedule in 1991 as they open at
Division I-AA power Youngstown State
on September 7. It is on the road again in
week two at North wood Institute (MI) - a
squad that downed NAIA power West
minster in 1990. Edinboro returns home
for weeks three and four hosting South
ern Connecticut and Bloomsburg (Home
coming) on September 21 and 28.
Edinboro then faces consecutive
western division tests at Clarion, Lock
Haven and Shippensburg before return
ing home for a battle with California in
late October. Playing five of their first
seven games on the road will pose a great
challenge for Hollman and the Scots.
After a trip to Slippery Rock in week
nine, Edinboro hosts the showdown with
lUP on November 9. Rugged Fairmont
State follows at home to conclude the reg
ular season.

Skill Positions
The Scots will have to somehow find
a way to replace the record setting pass
ing combination of quarterback Hal
Galupi and All-American Ernest Priester.
All-American tailback Lester Frye
returns and once again carries a huge
offensive load. With his record 317 carries
last fall, Frye broke the all-time PSAC
mark with 1,630 yards rushing. Frye
rushed for 234 yards, including 203 in the
first half, in the Scots' playoff win against
Virginia Union.
Joining Frye will be returnees Der
rick Russell (656 yards, 6.8 YPC avg., 6
TDs) and fullbacks Tom Tedder (192
yards, 1 TD) and Matt Koehle. At receiv
er, replacing Priester is impossible but the
Plaid does boast Wrentie Martin (26
catches, 285 yards, 1 TD), Paul Stone (21,
270, 1 TD) and tight end Brian Heebsh
(13, 238) to make up a strong receiving
trio.
The quarterback spot is wide open
with freshman red shirt Eric Kuhn and
returnee Sean Seibert, who led the Scots
to their playoff win, expected to battle for
the #1 spot. Kuhn has never taken a snap
for the Plaid while Seibert is nursing a
wrist injury suffered in the spring.
Offensive Line
First team All-American Curtis Rose
(OG) anchors the line at 6-3, 278 pounds.
Named to numerous 1991 pre-season AllAmerica teams. Rose has spearheaded the
ground attack over the past three years.
AU-PSAC second team pick Wally Spisak
returns at tackle while starters Scott Nick
el and Mike Kegarise give the squad great
strength up front. The latter two perform
ers were first-year players in 1990 and
also had great years for the Scots. Frank
Gibson is expected to fill the void left by
All-Conference pick Brad Powell.
Defensive Line
Here again, some holes to fill with
the graduation of All-American Jeff
Jacobs and Matt Miller. All-Conference
choice John Messura (80 tackles, 10 for
loss) can also rush the quarterback from
his tackle spot. His nine sacks were sec
ond only to Miller in 1990. End Delvin
Pickett (67 stops, 2 fumble recoveries
including a score) is quietly effective on
the outside. The Scots could get help as
linebacker Anthony Ross (team high 115
tackles) is expected to move to the down
position.
11
Linebackers
With Ross moving to the defensive
end spot, returnee Jason Perkins (83 tack
les) will carry a heavy load of responsibil
ity on the inside. His 55 solo stops were
second best for the Scots last fall.
Also returning on the inside will be
Joel Marratta (72 tackles) who was a key
man in the defensive success a year ago.
Marratta was also the Boro's top special
teams performer for 1990 as voted on by
the players. Mike Gentile, Anthony Mari
an! and Steve Nagy have also seen game
action in the past. This is a key position
for the defense and the Scots will also
look for someone to replace veteran AllPSAC performer A1 Donahue.
Secondary
Possibly the strength of the 1990
squad, the defensive backfield will return
in full. Pre-season All-American Wade
Smith, a first-team PSAC pick last fall,
will call the shots from his free safety
spot. His 81 stops and four interceptions
were among the team leaders in 1990.
Smith's 12 interceptions is tied for second
on the all-time Edinboro list.
Cornerbacks Mario Houston and
Georj Lewis will be in the starting lineup
while strong safety/outside linebacker
Mike Barnes also returns. Houston was
the PSAC West "Rookie of the Year" for
1990 and led the Scots with five intercep
tions. He was also in on 63 tackles. Lewis
begins his third season in the secondary
and has started every game since his
freshman year. Lewis totaled 68 tackles
with a pair of interceptions last year.
Barnes was in on 63 stops and was tied
with Smith for the team-lead in fumble
recoveries with three.
Kicking Game
The place-kicking duties will be up
for grabs during the fall season as the
Scots must fill a void here. The punting
chores will be secured by sophomore
Gary Lhotsky who did a very solid job for
the Plaid last fall. His 34.6 yards per punt
mark on 40 tries was excellent for a firstyear player.

Head Coach Tom Hollman
In January 1988, Edinboro University hired Tom Hollman, Athens, Ohio, as
its eleventh head football coach in the school's history Hollman came to Edin
boro from Ohio University, where he was the defensive coordinator,
Hollman, beginning his fourth year, has turned the Scot program around.
With the Scots he has earned 22 wins against just ten losses and one tie and
owns an impressive 15-2-1 slate against the PSAC West.
In 1989, he was named the top coach in the East Region by the National
Football Coaches Association and also tabbed the top coach in the PSAC West.
Last season, he guided the Scots to their first-ever NCAA II playoff win as
Edinboro routed Virginia Union and advanced to the national quarterfinals.
"Edinboro has been a great experience, and I like the direction of the pro
gram," Hollman said.
"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 appeal
ing 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 players 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.
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 Uni
versity 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 intercep
tions 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 Greenville High School in Ohio where he became head coach from
1971-73. 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 champ in '74, unbeaten at 90-1.
In '76, Hollman moved on to the collegiate ranks where he was the defen
sive 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).
In 1981, Hollman took an assistant coaching spot with Ball State University
which he held through the '84 campaign. Then, beginning in 1985 Hollman held
the defensive coordinator position at Ohio University.
"It has been a very comfortable transition for me," Hollman added. "I have
found the community to be supportive arid the administration is giving me
every opportunity to be successful here at Edinboro," he concluded.

minimum of at least one downfield block,”

that can mean the difference in the game.”
“I remember a game a few years ago
when we beat Alabama on a long run in

team, and our plays develop slowly. That
forces us to keep our backside linernen in
to block on the line of scrimmage.”
Wide receivers hardly have the image of
devastating blockers. Selling them on the
job is a coach’s top priority.
“Ninety-five percent of downfield block
ing is simply wanting to,” Fulmer says.
“We tell a guy that he can play (at wide
receiver) here if he’ll go out and throw his
body around. He may not play on thirdand-long, but he’ll play on other downs.”
“Nowhere in the rule book does it say
that wide receivers can’t be physical,” says
Cordelli. “They’re supposed to be pretty
boys who never get knocked down...well,
we don’t look at it like that around here.
“The more things a receiver can do, the
more valuable he is. There are pride fac
tors involved. One guy will say, T got four
knockdowns last game.’ Another will say.
‘Yeah, I got five.’ We have a board set up
that we call our winner’s chart. Among
other things, we keep up with how many
knockdowns each receiver gets in a game.
“If a guy stays here three years and
doesn’t understand the importance of
downfield blocking, I guarantee you he
won’t be playing. But it takes awhile for
them to understand the importance of it.
“Downfield blocking is a mindset, a
mental state of mind. They have to realize
that an offense is 11 guys working in uni
son, not 9 or 10. They have to know that if
they’re not catching the football on a par
ticular play, then they’d better be blocking
for the guy who has the ball.
“And what really sells them on it is when
they make a big block and the guy breaks
it for a touchdown. They say, ‘Hey, my
block did that.’”
“We always make as big a deal as we can
about a great downfield block,” Fulmer
says. “We want them to know how impor
tant (the coaches) think it is.”
The importance is obvious at practice.
“We usually work on it every day,”
Fulmer says. “If not every day, then cer
tainly every other day.”
“We work on it 15 minutes every day,”
Cordelli says. “Crossfield, downfield...we
stress it all.”
If desire to get the Job done is the key,
then proper technique is key 1-A. And
blocking downfield correctly is much
tougher than it may appear.
“Everybody says the toughest thing in
football is making an open-field tackle,”
Cordelli says. “Wrong. The toughest thing is
an open field block because the offensive
guy can’t grab, can’t hold. You’re on an
island out there. It’s just you and the defen

grab, you’ve got to be agile enough, tough
enough, and keep your eyes open so that
you can react to what the defensive back
does.
“A defensive back should never miss a
tackle in the open field because he can
grab the blocker and throw him out of the
way. And it’s hard for the offensive guy
not to grab, especially if the defensive guy
gets around him. We emphasize in practice
not grabbing the guy. If it happens, the
player runs extra. There’s nothing worse
than having a long run, then seeing a yel
low flag on the ground because a receiver
reached out and grabbed somebody.”
A recent rule change has allowed downfield blockers to extend their hands but not
grab.
“It’s made a big difference,” Fulmer
says. “It’s helped in shielding the guy, but
you have to be careful that it doesn’t take
away from the aggressiveness of the
blocker.”
Still, the downfield blocking technique is
a tough one to master.
“...We make as
big a deal over
a good block
as we do a
touchdown.”
The truth about the National Guard
will blow you away:
Pete Cordelli
“The key, of course, is intensity,”
Cordelli says. “But another big key is
knowing the proper angle to take to the
defender so that you don’t clip. It doesn’t
matter how hard or fast you go if you don’t
take the proper angle.
“Let’s say a play is going away from
you, the receiver. You should step first
with your inside foot, the one towards the
football, at a 45-degree angle, and work up
the field. What you want to do is put your
body between the defender and the ball.
It’s just like playing defense in basketball.
You’re not asking somebody to go out and
kill the defender. It’s a shield sort of block.
“And you must work on the upfield
shoulder. What do I mean? Let’s say you’re
the receiver and your right hand is to the
ball. The shoulder you have to work with is
your right shoulder, the one to the ball. If
you blocked him with your left shoulder,
you’d be knocking him into the play. ■
“One thing Coach (Lou) Holtz always
emphasizes is that the hole runs from the
line to the goal line. Whether the goal line
is 99 yards or 12 yards away, as soon as
the back breaks the line, he heads straight
to the goal line. That allows the receiver to
know the proper blocking angle to take.
“Now there comes a point where a cut by
the running back is involved. The advan
tage the defender has is that he can see
where the runner is going. If they’re in
zone coverage—if they’re in man coverage
it’s no problem because you simply run
him off—you teach the blocker to react to
the defender’s eyes. The defender will look
right through the blocker to the runner, and
those eyes will tell you where he’s headed.”
Practicing downfield blocking is difficult
and risky. When asked how Tennessee
goes about it, Fulmer answered: “Carefully.
Too many times you get a guy’s shoulder
hurt if you’re not careful.
“We used to do the old Burma Road cut
drill, hash mark to hash mark. But we’re
more careful now. How? Well, I don’t
TOUCHDOWN ILLUSTRATED
want to give away any secrets.”
Says Cordelli: “We work from a frame of
mind that if you’re in a proper football
position—staying low, under pads, have a
good base—you cannot be injured. Sure,
we used dummies for a lot of our practices,
but there are days when we go live.”
Cordelli says past success has helped
build a pride factor about blocking among
his receivers.
“Remember Tim Brown?” Cordelli says.
“He was a great, great blocker. I can’t tell
you how many big plays he sprung for us.
Another guy we have right now. Rocket
Ismail, is a great blocker. He hit a guy last
year right under the chin, and our entire
sideline heard it.
“That sort of thing disrupts a defensive
back’s concentration. And anything we can
do to take away from his concentration, we
want to do it. Be in his face. Knock that
sucker down.”
We live next door to you.
We work with you. We teach your children. Build your
homes. Pilot and maintain commercial airlines. Even repair
your automobiles.
We’re from all walks of life. And while we’re really no
different from you, something very important sets us apart.
We’re America’s citizen-soldiers. Dedicated to coming to
your aid at a moment’s notice. To protect your home. And
defend our homeland. Yet, most Americans are unaware of just
how many ways they depend on us.
On the frontline in Operation Desert Storm. On the frontline
in the War on Drugs. On the frontline in local and state emergen
cies. On the frontline in nation-building efforts around the world.
The Guard is there, defending the National interest, protecting
our citizens and adding value to our states and nation.
The truth is that almost half the Army’s combat units
belong to the Army National Guard. You’ll find us using the
latest technology and equipment. From state of the art artillery
units in Desert Storm to engineering and medical units helping
our international neighbors.
And the Air National Guard? Today, we’re a major
contributor in all Air Force missions. From frontline fighter
aircraft, medical evacuation and engineering units, to tactical
and strategic airlift, and aerial refueling aircraft. We were
airborne in the first hours of Desert Shield and Desert Storm.
We face other enemies, too. Fighting alongside the U.S.
Border Patrol and U.S. Customs Service, we help keep millions
of dollars worth of illegal drugs from ever reaching our children.
The National Guard was formed to protect our colonies
over 350 years ago. Close to 186,000 Guardsmen were killed
or wounded overseas during World War n. Almost the same
number were called to action during the Korean War. In Vietnam,
Guardsmen received over 1,700 medals for bravery. In Operation
Desert Storm, 72,000 Guardsmen were called to duty with over
40,000 serving in the Gulf.
Unlike other branches of the Armed Forces, the National
Guard’s charge is two-fold. Times of disaster, strife and need
find the National Guard always ready to lend a hand—whether
it’s halfway around the world or right in our own backyard.
The National Guard is the finest men and women of your
hometovm. We’re skilled. Capable. Intelli
gent. We’re Americans at their best.
And that’s the truth.
Americans At Their Best.

“YEEEEAHF’
Meet a couple of feuds,
outside of Division I
no less, that would make
the Hatfields and
McCoys proud.
TOUCHDOWN ILLUSTRATED
Knox College hadn’t defeated Monmouth
in 10 years when the two renewed their
battle for the comically-named, yet highlycoveted, Bronze Turkey Trophy in
November, 1976. In a rivalry as intense as
this central Illinois classic, a decade-long
victory drought can lead to some pretty
heavy abuse. The two schools are 15 miles
apart, so staying clear of enemy slings and
arrows during the off-season is nearly
impossible.
\^en Monmouth recovered a Knox fum
ble on the opening kickoff, Knox faithful
probably started plotting ways to lay low
for another year. But senior free safety
Rodney Swan averted tragedy when he
made a spectacular leaping interception to
thwart the Monmouth drive. There was still
hope for happiness during the next year.
Swan’s play revived the Siwash, who
ended their frustration with a '31-28 win.
But when he tried to join in the wild cele
bration, Swan found that hi^' leg wouldn’t
allow it. He had landed hard after that early
interception, and exulting—not to mention
walking—had become difficult.
“He came up to me and said, ‘Coach, I
think I’m going to need some help,”’ said
Knox Athletic Director Harley Knosher,
then the school’s defensive backfield
coach. “I couldn’t understand what he
meant, because he had played so well.
“But after we got him off the field, we
found that he had played the whole game
with a broken leg suffered on the intercep
tion.”
For small colleges throughout the coun
try, the heroics of Rodney Swan and the
like comprise the fabric of spirited rivalries
with colorful histories and valiant efforts
of every kind.
The whole country may tune in to see
Michigan
Ohio State play for a bowl
berth and national ranking, but only the
residents of Galesburg and Monmouth get
worked into a froth about the annual
Bronze Turkey game. Ditto for other sto
ried rivalries like Wabash-DePauw or
Lehigh-Lafayette. The annual blue blood
letting between Yale and Harvard attracts a
somewhat wider audience, due mostly to
large alumni bases and the schools’ roles in
the history of college football.
All four rivalries have the components of
their more fabled Division I-A counter
parts—tradition, anecdotes, campus
hijinks, heroes, goats, brags and boasts,
winners and losers—without the hype or
dollar signs. The games are played by non
scholarship student-athletes for pride and
accomplishment, not bowl revenues and
professional contracts. And while no
national networks vie for the broadcast
rights to these annual battles, their spirit
and intensity are equal to that of rivalries

on any other level.
“The intensity of the game between
Wabash and DePauw caught me by sur
prise,” admitted Tommy Mont, former
coach and athletic director at DePauw and
a former head coach at the University of
Maryland. “As the game progressed, I
began to realize that this is what college
football is meant to be.
“The people playing love the game.
There is no incentive for them other than
desire.”
THE BRONZE TURKEY
For two consecutive seasons during the
1960s, Knox and Monmouth both appeared
on Look magazine’s weekly college foot
ball “Bottom Ten” ranking of the nation’s
worst teams. The first year, Knox whipped
Monmouth. The next, Monmouth defeated
Knox.
“It was bad enough being on the list,”
Knosher said. “But if you could beat
Monmouth, everything was okay. If you
lost, it was unbearable.”
Throughout the 101 years of the battle for
the Bronze Turkey, the Division 111 teams
have experienced the unbearable and the
unbelievable. Monmouth’s 19-14 win in
1990 gave it a 46-45-10 advantage, its
first-ever lead in the series. Knox won the
inaugural game in 1884, 22-4.
The game used to be played on
Thanksgiving (it is now played in early
November)—thus the genesis of the
Bronze Turkey prize. In 1928, a Knox
player named Bill Collins decided the
game should be played for some award—a
la Big Ten prizes like the Old Oaken
Bucket or Little Brown Jug. He persuaded
two local newspapers to contribute $40
apiece and bought the trophy from a local
jeweler. That year, Monmouth won the ini
tial battle for the bird, 2-0.
Since that time, the Bronze Turkey has
been the target of several pranks and thefts.
In late 1942, the gobbler disappeared from
the Monmouth trophy case and wasn’t
returned until 1947. Legend has it that the
bird had been buried in the basement of the
school’s gymnasium.
In 1965, two Knox students, posing as
journalists from a Peoria paper, asked that
the trophy be removed from its case at
Monmouth so that they could photograph it
without glare. When no one was looking,
the “reporters” dashed off with the prize.
“I don’t think the rivalry is as bitter as it
was in my day,” said Bobby Woll, who
played at Monmouth from 1931-33 and
was the school’s athletic director for 25
years. “When I was A.D., we had to stand
guard to make sure they wouldn’t burn a
‘K’ into our field.”
127 GAMES AND COUNTING: Lehigh and Lafayette have been battling it out
since 1884.
Monmouth named its football field after
Woll, the school’s famous “Mighty Mite”
who helped the Scots to a 30-6 win in 1933
with an 87-yard touchdown run.
The 129-pound Woll would not have
been able to run wild had he played in
1972. That year, Knox came to Monmouth
with a fleet team but found the Scots’ field
a quagmire, despite no rain having fallen in
days. The larger Scots prevailed, 7-6, and
Knox supporters were irate.
“Their coach told us that the guy in
charge of watering the field fell asleep,”
Knosher recalled with a chuckle.
You can tell Knosher respects Monmouth
for its “strategy” in that game. He realizes
incidents like that preserve the tradition of
such a storied rivalry.
“We get kids pretty fired up around here
for a Knox-Monmouth golf match,” he
said.
And they’re not even playing for a
turkey.
FAMILIARITY
BREEDS RESPECT
During the usual, pre-Super Bowl massmedia circus in 1982, a reporter stuck a
microphone in the face of Cincinnati
Bengals’ wide receiver Steve Kreider and
asked his opinion of the world’s biggest
football game.
“It’s not Lehigh-Lafayette, but it will
do,” Kreider said.
There are older and even more-storied
rivalries, but no two teams have played as
often as Lehigh University and Lafayette
College. The two schools, located in the
neighboring northeast Pennsylvania towns
of Bethlehem (Lehigh) and Easton, have
played 126jtfiries since their initial contest
in 1884, tHfanks in part to multiple meet
ings during the game’s early years.
Lafayette won the opener, 50-0, while
Lehigh took last season’s contest, 35-14,
closing Lafayette’s series lead to 69-52-5.
The two schools share similar education
al missions and joined the Patriot League
because of its commitment to the Ivy ideal
of academics first. Yet even the stodgiest
bookworms find it easy to get excited
about the big game.
“Everything builds toward the game,”
said Joe Whritenour, who served as sports
information director at Lehigh from 196584. “The coaches are judged by their per
formance in that game. It’s a second,
one-game season, and it’s a long time until
next year, especially if you have to keep
explaining why you got licked.”
Like any spirited rivalry, LehighLafayette has had its share of pranks and
practical jokes.
In the early 1980s, some students from
Lafayette sneaked into Lehigh’s Taylor
Stadium three weeks prior to the game and

used a weed killer to spell out a vulgar
phrase on the field. The grass died two
days before kickoff, revealing the message.
“That called for some quick mowing and
coloring,” Whritenour said.
In the 1930s and ’40s, Lafayette had a
live leopard on campus as a mascot that
was a frequent target of would-be Lehigh
thieves. Another time, two Lafayette stu
dents slept in a van outside the field where
Lehigh’s pre-game bonfire was to be held
and lit the blaze a day ahead of schedule.
These days, guards are posted on both
campuses during game week to protect
against pranksters. Those unfortunate
enough to be caught in the act generally
get an impromptu trip to the barber.
The off-field shenanigans are generally
overshadowed by the games themselves.
The 1940 Lafayette team entered the sea
son-ending matchup with the Engineers
undefeated, and Leopard coach Hook
Mylin was afraid his team may be overcon
fident. It took one half of play to allay his
fears.
“We got out to a 33-0 halftime lead, and
Hook came in and said, ‘What can I say?”’
said James T. Farrell, a halfback on that
team. “We ended up winning 46-0.”
The 1977 Lehigh team won the Division
II national title and got some unexpected
support.
“Lafayette was rooting for us throughout
the playoffs,” Whritenour said. “It’s an
intense rivalry, but both teams respect each
other.”
“It’s not LehighLafayette, but it

Greencastle campus. DePauw students
refer to their Wabash rivals as “Cavemen,”
while Wabash men respond with cries of
“Sissies” to the Dannies, as DePauw stu
dents are known.
“Wabash likes to play up its image as
cavemen,” said former DePauw coach and
A.D. Tommy Mont. “But the truth is that
some of the co-eds from DePauw date
Wabash men.”
Mont’s role in the history of the DePauwWabash clash is clearly defined. He is as
revered for his decision to leave Division I
Maryland for the serenity and charm of
Division III life as he is for his 13-5 record
against Wabash. His legend is enhanced by
his actions in 1960, his second year at
DePauw and the first year the two-point con
version was instituted in NCAA football.
The Dannies scored a last-minute touch
down to pull within 13-12 of their archri
vals, and Mont had to decide whether to try
for two points and the win or one and a tie.
He chose to accept the consensus. He
asked the DePauw crowd. They screamed
“Go!” He did, and DePauw won, 14-13.
“We tried to downplay the rivalry when I
was coaching and try to make it as relaxed
as possible for the kids the week before the
game,” Mont said. “One of the things we
did in the summer was get ready for
Wabash, so when the week of the game
came, we had our basic game plan in
already.”
It’s never too early to start planning for
the big game.
THE GAME
Yale Coach T.A.D. Davis stood before
his players in mid-1920s and told them,
“Gentlemen, you are about to play football
for Yale against Harvard. Never in your
lives will you do something so important.”
To some Yalies, that is not hyperbole.
Among football rivalries on any level,
none can match the history and legacy of
Harvard-Yale.
Harvard is not even Yale’s longest-stand
ing opponent. That distinction goes to
Princeton, which has played the Bulldogs
since 1873, the NCAA’s oldest current
rivalry. Together, those three schools domi-

Wabash College Athletic Director Max
Servies cranked up his calculator last win
ter and came up with a remarkable statistic.
In the 124 years Wabash has played
DePauw University in athletic events of
every kind, a scant one game separated the
two teams.
Heading into the spring 1991 season,
Wabash led its heated rival 325-324-14.
“This is the greatest rivalry in Division
III,” said Servies, who’s not at all biased
by his 31 years as a coach and A.D. at
Wabash. “The intensity in the general
rivalry in academics and athletics is
tremendous.”
DePauw leads on the football field, 4544-8, thanks to a 20-13 win last season, its
fourth straight over Wabash. The win
meant DePauw maintained custody of the
coveted Monon Bell trophy, a 350-pound
railroad bell donated by the Monon
Railroad Company to the schools in 1932.

nated college football during its formidable
years. And though today’s Harvard-Yale
games have little significance in the tem
poral gridiron world—thanks to the
schools’ move to Division I-AA—each
time the game is renewed, football is a lit
tle richer.
“The nature of the game hasn’t really
changed,’’ said Vic Gatto, a Harvard half
back from 1966-68 and now the finance
director of the Massachusetts Republican
Party. “It was then and continues to be a
really good barometer of what it means to
play amateur football.”
In Gatto’s senior season, 1968, the two
teams entered the game undefeated and
played what is possibly the most exciting
game in the entire, 115-year series (Yale
leads, 58-41-8). Gatto helped lift the
Crimson from a 29-13 deficit to a 29-29 tie
in the game’s final 42 seconds, prompting
the Harvard Crimson to run a headline
reading, “Harvard beats Yale, 29-29.”
“About 50,000 people filled Harvard
Stadium for that game, but because things
were so discouraging after three-and-a-half

quarters, most of them had left to beat the
Boston traffic,” Gatto said. “Of course,
about 250,000 now say they were there at
the end.”
Yale’s quarterback that day was Brian
Dowling, since immortalized in the comic
strip “Doonesbury” as the helmeted “B.D.”
He remembers the frustration of watching
from the sidelines as Harvard came back
from the big deficit, yet he understands the
rally’s significance in the rivalry’s storied
history.
“The Game brings together two of the
oldest and most reputable universities in
the country,” Dowling said. “And the sig
nificance of the rivalry doesn’t hit you
until after you’ve played. What happened
in the final game when Vic and I played
just adds to it.”
So do the extracurricular activities sur
rounding the game. Alumni come from all
over the country to participate in some of
the country’s most elaborate tailgating par
ties. “I’m sure all sorts of deals are rrlade,
stocks exchanged and real estate sold out
side the stadiums,” Gatto said.
Students from MIT even get involved in
the fun. Last year, a balloon came out of
the ground and floated across the field at
Harvard Stadium with a message about
MIT.
“The two teams have a totally different
perspective on football,” said Gatto. “It’s a
good one.”

The final score was 222-0; 63-0 after the
first quarter, but George Allen,
Cumberland University’s coach, hardly
noticed. He was too busy trying to keep his
players on the field to face the behemoths
from Georgia Tech. Two players had
already deserted, only to be discovered
when a frightened halfback ran off the field
to avoid an army of Tech tacklers. Not
feeling safe enough just being out of
bounds, he jumped the fence surrounding
the field and landed in the laps of his
AWOL teammates.
Another Cumberland player refused to
leave the safety of the Georgia Tech bench.
When Coach Allen looked down at his
own bench, his players quickly grabbed a
limb and grimaced in pain. Allen even
thought about putting himself into the
game, but he didn’t work up the courage
until the third quarter, when he went in as a
punter. His kick was deadly accurate, strik
ing his own center squarely in the back of
the head.
The year was 1916, the date was October 7,
and the event was the most absurdly lopsided
game ever played in college football. Its gen
esis is difficult to pinpoint. Maybe it was
when in 1904, when John Heisman, the inno
vative and celebrated college coach, was
lured away from Clemson to Georgia Tech.

Maryland and a frequent contributor to
sports publications.
While powerful

Heisman was happy with the powerhouse
he had built at Clemson and even the bloat
ed salary of $3,000 could not entice him to
go farther south. But a little research did.
Georgia Tech’s search committee discov
ered that the dictatorial coach was a frustrat
ed Shakespearean actor. Though he was
given to occasional outbursts of “Block, you
flaming jackasses,’’ he more often pleaded
with his players to “Block with courage and
determination so we shall win the day.”
When the coach was asked if he knew
that Atlanta had the best theaters in the
South, he replied with something like,
“Gentlemen, where shall I affix my signa
ture so that I may serve you faithfully as
your football coach?”
Heisman’s theatrics did not stop with his
language. A year earlier, on the day before
Clemson played Georgia Tech, he sent
ahead an out-of-shape group of students to
masquerade as the football team. The wel
coming committee in Atlanta directed
them to nearby saloons where the “play
ers” stayed most of the night. The next day,
the Georgia Tech team was confident of
beating their hung over opponents until the
real players, whom Heisman had
TOUCHDOWN ILLUSTRATED
sequestered in^a hotel outside of Atlanta,
ran out to meet them. In the stands were
the bleary-eyed stand-ins, the school’s
cheerleading squad. Clemson won 73-0.
Predictably, Heisman brought Georgia
Tech to national prominence while introduc
ing the center snap, the command of “hike,”
a scoreboard, formations that resemble
today’s T and I, and the hidden ball trick.
But a national championship eluded him
because the polls were based principally on
points scored. Heisman thought it ridiculous,
but if Heisman was anything, he was practi
cal. Consequently, the 1916 game with
Cumberland University, a small school (now
a college) in Lebanon, Tennessee, whose
football glory days were 10 years past. The
deal was clinched with a $500 guarantee, or,
as it would turn out, just over $2 a point.
And Allen, a law student fascinated by
coaching sports, but not participating in
them, was greedy. Though Cumberland
had dropped football the year before, he
was determined to resurrect the sport with
the battle cry of “Remember $500.”
Like Heisman, Allen had a theatrical incli

But therein lies the “Theysaid-it-couldn’t-be-done” stolyline. For Yale, led by Calvin

dominated the game, leading
29-13 late in the fourth period.
That’s when a second-string
Harvard quarterback named
Frank Champi decided to
show the crowd that it was he
and not Dowling who was the

What are the early warning signs oi losing hair?
Everyone loses a little hair. Fifty to 80 hairs a day is
normal. If you’re losing more than 100 hairs a day without
normal replacement, the first sign will often be thinning of the

first notice it, because this small bald spot can grow larger
over time.

prescription medication proved effective for the long-term treatment ot male pattern baldness of the crown.
ROGAINE is the only topical solution ot minoxidil. Minoxidil In tablet form has been used since 1980 to lower blood pressure.
The use of minoxidil tablets is limited to treatment of patients with severe high blood pressure. When a high enough dosage in
tablet form is used to lower blood pressure, certain effects that merit your attention may occur. These eftects appear to be dose
related.
Persons who use ROGAINE Topical Solution have a low level ot absorption ot minoxidil, much lower than that of persons
being freafed with minoxidil tablets for high blood pressure. Therefore, the likelihood that a person using ROGAINE Topical

If you have very little hair and respond to treatment, your first hair growth may be soft, downy, colorless hair that is barely
visible. After further treatment the new hair should be the same color and thickness as the other hair on your scalp. It you start
with substantial hair, the new hair should be of the same color and thickness as the rest of your hair.

obtain the most satisfactory results. More frequent applications or use of larger doses (more than one ml twice a day) have not
been shown to speed up the process ol hair growth and may increase the possibility of side eftects.

Studies of patients using ROGAINE have shown that the most common adverse effects directly attributable to ROGAINE
Topical Solution were itching and other skin irritations of the treated area ot the scalp. About SS of patients had these
complaints.
Other side effects, including light-headedness, dizziness, and headaches were reported by patients using ROGAINE or
placebo (a similar solution without the active medication).

The frequency of side effects listed below was similar, except for dermatologic reactions, in the ROGAINE and placebo
groups. Respiratory (bronchitis, upper respiratory inlection, sinusitis); Dermatologic (irritant or allergic contact dermatitis,
eczema, hypertrichosis, local erythema, pruritus, dry skin/scalp flaking, exacerbation of hair loss, alopecia): Gastrointestinal

Individuals who are hypersensitive to minoxidil, propylene glycol, or ethanol must not use ROGAINE.
ROGAINE Topical Solution contains alcohol, which could cause burning or Irritation of the eyes, mucous membranes, or
sensitive skin areas. If ROGAINE accidentally gets into these areas, bathe the area with large amounts ol cool tap water. Contact
your doctor if irritation persists.

Although serious side effects have not been attributed to ROGAINE in clinical studies, there is a possibility that they could
occur because the active ingredient in ROGAINE Topical Solution is the same as in minoxidil tablels.
Minoxidil tablels are used to treat high blood pressure. Minoxidil tablels Iqwer blood pressure by relaxing the arteries, an
effect called vasodilation. VOsodilation leads to retention ot fluid and increased heart rale. The following effects have occurred
in some patients taking minoxidil tablels for high blood pressure:
Increased hear! rate—some patients have reported that their resting heart rale increased by more than 20 beats per minute:
Rapid weight gain of more than S pounds or swelling (edema) of the face, hands, ankles, or stomach area: Difficulty in
breathing, especially when lying down, a result of an increase in body fluids or fluid around the heart: worsening ol, or new
onset of, angina peeforis.
When ROGAINE Topical Solution is used on normal skin, very little minoxidil is absorbed and the possible effects attributed
to minoxidil tablets are not expected with the use of ROGAINE. If, however, you experience any of the possible side effects
listed, discontinue use of ROGAINE and consult your doctor. Presumably, such effects would be most likely If greater
absorption occurred, e.g., because ROGAINE was used on damaged or inflamed skin or in greater than recommended
amounts.
In animal studies, minoxidil, in doses higher than would be obtained Irom topical use In people, has caused important heart
structure damage. This kind of damage has not been seen in humans given minoxidil tablets for high blood pressure at effective
doses.
■hat laetora soy lociooso tho risk of oorlaas sMo effects with RNNMNCT
Individuals with known or suspected underlying coronary artery disease or the presence of or predisposition to heart failure
would be at particular risk if sysfemic effects (that is. increased heart rate or fluid retenfion) of minoxidil were to occur.
Physicians, and patients with these kinds of underlying diseases, should be conscious of the potential risk of treatment it they
choose to use ROGAINE.
ROGAINE should be applied only to the scalp and should not be used on other parts ot the body, because absorption of
minoxidil may be increased and the risk of side effects may become greater. You should not use ROGAINE if your scalp becomes
irritated or is sunburned, and you should not use it along with other topical treatment medication on your scalp.
Coo awa atttk high Maori pressore aoo RMMKT
Individuals with hypertension, including those under treatment with antihypertensive agents, can use ROGAINE but should
be monitored closely by their doctor. Patients taking guanethidlne lor high blood pressure should not use ROGAINE.
IhoaM aay pncaoUaos ka MIoworiT
Individuals using ROGAINE should be monitored by their physician one month after starting ROGAINE and at least every six
months afterward. Discontinue ROGAINE if systemic effects occur.
Oo not use it in conjunction with other topical agents such as corticosteroids, retinoids and petroiatum or agents that
enhance percutaneous absorption. ROGAINE is for topical use only. Each ml contains 20 mg minoxidil and accidental ingestion
could cause adverse systemic effects.
No carcinogenicity was found with topical applicalion. ROGAINE should not be used by pregnant women or by nursing
mothers. The effects on labor and delivery are not known. Pediatric use: Safely and effectiveness has not been established

knowing about it. So he formed a choir, which sang badly off key
until the administrators went home. Then the singers dropped their
songbooks and headed for the practice field. Allen’s ruse worked well
enough, but his coaching expertise was limited. Cumberland’s first
game against Sewanee was a warm-up for Georgia Tech in an unex
pected way. The Bullddgs lost 107-0.
Many of Allen’s recruits promptly quit. Some people, it seemed,
just couldn’t appreciate the value of $500. But a lot of people could
appreciate $3,000. A few weeks before the scheduled game with
Georgia Tech, a Cumberland law student dug up a contract signed
by the former coach—back when his school had a legitimate
team—which required Cumberland to pay Georgia Tech $3,000 if
it forfeited. The nascent law school might be the first fiscal casual
ty if the small college was set back by that amount of money.
“Good God,’’ the law school dean said, “you students get out
there and play!”
Unprepared and overconfident, 24 Cumberland students left by
train on October 6 to meet one of the best college teams in the
country. Allen arranged for a stop in Nashville in an unsuccessful
attempt to persuade Vanderbilt’s coach to lend him a few players.
When he returned to the train, all of his players were gone; Most of
them were at a nearby bar. However, three made the wis6 decision
to abandon ship entirely.
Would Allen have felt guilty using Vanderbilt players? Not at all.
As the baseball coach the previous spring, he suited up professional
players from Nashville to deal with Georgia Tech’s powerful squad.
The Cumberland players sat in the stands and watched themselves
become heroes while Georgia Tech got thrashed 22-0. The opposing
coach, John Heisman, was not amused.
So the cast of characters for college football’s biggest laugher
was set. On one side was a highly disciplined Georgia Tech team
with a coach steaming over the previous spring’s humiliation and
livid with the sports writers’ polls. On the other side was a hapless
bunch of coerced players from a school that was not even supposed
to have a football team.
“The only way to look at it is as a comedy,” says Bob Keys, an
independent producer who started filming a movie about the game
in Vancouver last spring. By today’s standards of college football
competition, it certainly was a joke, but neither Heisman nor his
players were laughing.
Yet a few minutes into the game, most of the 1,000 spectators at
Tech’s Grant Field were. The Cumberland players gave them no
choice. First downs, what were they? Cumberland never made one
and Georgia Tech never needed to. Jo pile up 63 points in the first
quarter, the Yellow Jackets couldn’t waste the time.
Graciously, Georgia Tech elected to kick off despite winning the
pre-game toss. After all, what difference would it make? Within a
minute, Cumberland received the ball, gained nothing, had their
first string quarterback knocked cold for the first of three times,
fumbled, punted, and gave up two touchdowns.
On the sidelines. Coach Allen was pleading with his players to
remember the Bulldog pride, or at least the $500. But his strategy
didn’t match his enthusiasm. After Tech’s fourth touchdown, he
decided to kick off (the rules allowed the scored upon team the
option of kicking or receiving) in order to put Tech deep in its own
territory. However, a Tech player returned the kickoff 70 yards,
which led to a touchdown on the next play.
But Allen was slow to catch on. Once again he had his players kick
off and the results were predictable. And in the second quarter, Allen
outdid himself. Behind 70-0, the Bulldogs were facing a third down
with only one yard to gain for a first down. At that point, a first down
would have brought the crowd to its feet. Instead, it remained seated
and laughed unashamedly. Allen ordered his troops to punt.
With the game sewn up so early, the Tech players decided to pro
vide a little humor of their own. Canty Alexander, a senior tackle
who had never scored a touchdown, was shifted to halfback when

offense had
little trouble
getting past
Cumberland’s
‘down linemen.’
Tech had the ball on Cumberland’s 1-yard line. The Tech players
knew they could score at will, so to make Alexander earn his
honor, they dropped to the ground when the ball was snapped. Not
to be outdone, the Cumberland players joined their opponents on
the ground. Alexander trotted into the end zone untouched.
But don’t get the impression that the Cumberland Bulldogs did not
know how to hit. A second quarter play corrects that notion. While
one Bulldog was running to avoid tacklers, another was running to
avoid any possibility of having to block. Allegedly, the collision
produced an echo that could be heard all the way back in Tennessee.
During the halftime intermission. Coach Allen mapped out the
only sensible strategy for a team down 126-0: He asked Heisman to
shorten the last two quarters. Heisman agreed to go from 15 min
utes to 12 minutes, but he was suspicious. He told his players not to
let up.
“You never know what those Cumberland players have up their
sleeves,” he said. “ So, in the second half, hit ’em clean and hit ’em
hard.”
For the most part, his players obeyed. Wary of a comeback, they
piled on 54 points in the third quarter and 42 points in the fourth.
In a game where the remarkable was routine, three incidents
stand out. Unbelievably, two Georgia Tech players were injured.
The first was kicker Jim Preas. His golden toes were so overused
for kickoffs and extra points—18 in a row, an NCAA record—that
they spent the second half in an ice bucket. The other was an ankle
bite caused by a set of Bulldog teeth strong enough to cut through
shoe leather.
Cumberland’s major contribution to the ill-fated matchup was the
most memorable on-field, live-ball conversation ever in the annals
of football on any level. Late in the fourth quarter, with every
Cumberland player urging the clock forward. Bulldog halfback
Eddie Edwards fumbled and the ball rolled towards B.F. Paty, one
of several Cumberland players who would go on to a successful
career in law.
“Pick it up,” Edwards urged Paty. Paty thought about it for a
moment, but a phalanx of onrushing Tech beefs changed his mind.
“Pick it up yourself,” Paty shouted back. “You dropped it.”
Meanwhile, a Tech player took advantage of the argument and
recovered the ball.
When the clock mercifully ran out, Heisman walked across the
field with a $5(X) check to meet with Allen, who would live down
the disaster and become director of the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation and a Commissioner of the District of Columbia.
The Tech players were so untested that Heisman put them through an
intense scrimmage immediately after the game, which, by the way,
motivated the Cumberland refugee to return to his teammates.
Meanwhile, the Bulldogs got off the field as quickly as possible.
They were all looking forward to sp>ending their bounty while see
ing the sights of Atlanta—though through swollen eyes.

THc JUE-Ngw BonnG^UG,
If you've always believed the only way to get an
agile, aero-styled, high-performance sedan was to
buy small, you're in for a big surprise. It's time to
forget the past, and introduce yourself to the all-new
1992 Pontiac Bonneville."
By its engineering specifications alone, the new
Bonneville shatters that myth convincingly. Under its
beautifully redesigned shape lurks a potent 170
horsepower EH23EZ232C3
sequential fuel injection locked onto an advanced
electronic 4-speed automatic. Available
and a precisionengineered, road-gripping sport suspension for
outstanding control, stopping or steering. Available
advanced ESS32SE3ISIIZH2 fo'"
superb power application on slippery
for additional
Cfjr#
safety assurance.
That's the technical side. But to really get the
feel of the new Bonneville, you've got to get behind
the wheel. Notice how the solid-feeling controls
react smoothly to the touch. How the full comple
ment of analog gauges are well-defined for quick,
decisive reads. How the whole cockpit is driveroriented. and designed for performance.
And by the way, the new Bonneville is a fullfledged. EZ2ZSSSS ^our-door that can
easily carry six adults. Just thought we’d remind you.
The all-new 1992 Bonneville. Climb in and throttle
one up. Just be prepared for an attitude adjustment
to take place. Very,
very quickly.

TIPS ON SHOOTING SPORTfi
Imagine this. There's less than two
minutes left in the game. Buffalo Bills
quarterback Jim Kelly goes into a no
huddle offense. He’s working out of the
shotgun, taking one-step drops and fir
ing 10-yard passes to star wide receiver
Andre Reed. The L.A. Raiders are
caught off balance. Kelly remains cool.
In just a few quick plays, the Bills have
marched 50 yards down the field, deep
into Raiders territory. The Raiders
defense has no time to get set.
And neither do you. Not if you’re the
photographer. With this kind of fast,
unpredictable action you’ve got to be
ready to catch it the instant it happens.
Today’s sophisticated SLR equipment
can get us into the game like never
before. Autofocusing lets us cover all
the angles, while fast film and fast
lenses offer more action-stopping
potential than ever. But now, there’s
even more. Another breakthrough in
photo history.
Just recently, the photographic com
pany that pioneered autofocusing in
SLR cameras introduced a camera that
operated in an entirely new way. With
the use of an intelligence system featur
ing fuzzy logic control, they created a
camera that actually thinks!
Programmed with the experience of
professional photographers, this revolu
tionary new decision-making 35mm
SLR can make up to a million calcula
tions per second and distinguish
between sports action, closeups, por
traits, landscapes, and even romantic
low-light scenes. All in the blink of an
eye. Since the camera thinks along with
you, it can react instantly to any situa
tion at any time.
This sophisticated new SLR can
respond to the most subtle changes in
movement, lighting or contrast within
the scene being photographed. It dis
cerns the main subject and sets the
best exposure program for that subject

and condition. Autofocusing is lightningfast, continuous, and omni-directional. It
tracks even quick, erratic subject move
ment in any direction with ease.
But what about the unpredictable?
Those split-second expressions, ges
tures, or moments that can be missed in
the time it takes to zoom the lens and
compose the shot. Two exclusjve new
features called eye-start operation and
autozoom provide the solution. When
you pick up the camera/and look
through the viewfinder, special sensors
in the grip and eyepiece activate all its
functions. So the camera is always
ready when you are.
And then an amazing thing happens.
The lens automatically zooms to com
pose your shot, and you don’t have to
touch a single button! The camera does
all the work. It instantly gives you an
ideal subject magnification, saving pre
cious seconds so you can capture that
once-in-a-lifetime shot.
This is the first of a new breed of SLR
cameras born for action. It gives you ulti
mate performance while keeping you in
the creative driver’s seat. With a unique
transparent graphic display viewfinder,
you can monitor camera functions and
select shutter-priority, aperture-priority,
expert program, or metered manual
exposure control.
And if you'want unlimited creative
potential^^check out today’s optional
SLR accfessories like the tiny software
cards that program the camera for spe
cialized functions. One such card tells
the camera to select the highest shutter
speeds possible—to freeze sports and
other fast action without a blur.
So, to catch fast sports action as fast
as it happens, tap into today’s advanced
technology. All you have to do is look
through the viewfinder, and the camera
does the rest. Just press the shutter but
ton when you want to take the picture.
And if the action gets really hot, hold that
shutter button down and the camera will
shoot high-speed action-stopping
sequences at four frames per second,
ALL IN PERFECT FOCUS.
Fuzzy logic control, eye-start opera
tion, autozoom, and camera software
cards. Incredible advancements in pho
tographic technology created for just
one purpose—to give you expert results
that were at one time limited only to pro
fessionals. Imagine what it can do for
you. Good luck and good shooting!

BY DAVID LEON MOORE
A boy named Mike grows up in Oregon
and decides the two things he values most
in his young life are his family and sports.
So, he sets his goal early and never wavers:
a college athletic scholarship, which will
further his dream of playing professional
sports and help out his family financially.
Many dream this dream, of course, and
some succeed. Like Mike, who becomes a
model student and a talented, multi-sport
athlete who attracts college recruiters and,
one day, is awarded a football scholarship
at UCLA.
Nothing particularly unusual about
Mike’s story. Nothing except the fact that
his given name is actually Huy Hung
Nguyen and he was born in Saigon in
1972, which makes Mike Nguyen (pro
nounced M7>j), an otherwise typical redshirt
freshman striving for playing time at a bigtime football power, the first person born
in Vietnam to play college football.
It also makes whatever difficulties he
might face on a football field this fall
against Stanford or USC trivial by compar
ison to what his family has already been
through.
“Everything I know about Vietnam is
second-hand,” he says in perfect English.
“I was very young, and I don’t really
remember. I know this, though. We’re real
ly lucky to be alive.”
Mike does not remember the dangers his

family faced in Vietnam. He wasn’t yet 3
years old when his mother carried him
through the chaotic streets of Saigon the
night of April 29, 1975, just hours before
North Vietnamese troops captured the city.
He doesn’t remember the nightmarish
scene at the South Vietnamese naval base,
where families fought each other, even shot
each other, for spots on a boat that would
carry them to God only knew where.
When the boat appeared ready to leave
Mike’s mother on the dock, his father, an
electrician in the South Vietnamese navy,
cut the ship’s power until Mike’s mother
could board. Left behind to face the wrath
of a vengeful enemy were Mike’s grand
parents and aunts and uncles, whom he has
never seen since.
“It’s been hard to have any contact with
them,” says Mike. “My mom sends letters,
but a lot of them don’t get through.”
Having escaped Saigon, the fam
ily—father Hung Nguyen, mother Hoang
Tran, Mike and his infant sister—headed
for the Philippines, then to Guam, then to
Camp Pendleton in California. Within a
year, they were sponsored for residency in
a small town in Oregon, where Hung was
employed as a gardener and Hoang as a
maid. Their total compensation: $150 a
month and use of a one-bedroom house.
But when Hoang became pregnant, the
family was kicked out of the house and
ended up in Roseburg, Ore., aided by a
Lutheran minister who sought donations
for them and helped them find a house.
“Our living conditions were very, very
difficult,” says Mike’s mother, Hoang. “We
had difficulty learning English, and my
husband and I both went to school, which
meant we didn’t have as much time with
the kids as we wanted.”
Their goal was to blend in. They had no

choice.
Mike remembers little of that period.
As he grew up, he began hearing stories
of who he was and where he came from.
The details would fade from memory until,
one night, the story would be retold, and it
was like a new story all over again.
“My mom doesn’t always remember
what she’s told me,” he says. “It seems like
sometimes I’ll hear a new story, and I’ll be
shocked.”
Like the story about his father, before
Mike was born, riding in a jeep with three
other sailors and striking a land mine. His
father was the only one who survived the
explosion.
“I’ve never been back to Vietnam,” says
Mike. “Someday, I’d like to. But growing
up, I didn’t feel Vietnamese, really. I didn’t
know anything about the war. I was
becoming very Americanized. You have to
be, whether you want to or not, because of
the interaction with the other kids. You
have to fit in.”
What Mike remembers, mostly, is sports.
“I started when I was 8 years old,” says
Mike. “A friend of mine at school was on a
baseball team. I’d go watch his practices. I
never really had any intention of playing,
but one day they were short a man. I went
in, and I guess I liked it. From there, I
started playing baseball.”
One thing led to another, and pretty soon
young Mike was excelling in just about
everything: baseball, football, basketball,
track.
Meanwhile, Mike’s father had earned his
electrician’s license and the family had
moved to Portland, with the American
dream clearly in sight.
Then, in 1982, his father was seriously
injured in a motorcycle accident. For two
and a half years, he was paralyzed, unable
to move or speak, and he died in 1985 at
age 39.
Says Mike: “It was really hard, something
you can’t explain unless you go through it.
I was at an age that I just wanted to know
why. It was a really sad time, something we
all had to deal with. I knew that I had to go
see him, yet I dreaded it, and then I felt bad
for not wanting to see him.”
After her husband’s death, Hoang started
her own business, helping southeast Asian
refugees with a wide range of services,
such as taxes, language skills and referrals.
She also now owns an Oriental gift and
flower shop.
“She’s very independent,” says Mike.
“She had to be.”
Despite the demands of her business and
coping with being a single parent in an
adopted country, her children blossomed.
All three, Mike and daughters Susan and
Melissa, have excelled in the classroom.
Mike left Portland’s Franklin High School
as one of four recipients of the school’s out
standing citizenship award, and his 3.9 GPA
placed him in the National Honor Society.
On Franklin’s playing fields, Mike was
similarly special. He routinely set records
and won honors. He lettered in baseball,
basketball and track, but it was in football,^
where he was a team captain for three*
years, that he attracted the most attention.
As a senior wide receiver and defensive
back, he caught 53 passes for 745 yards
and 10 touchdowns, and intercepted four
passes. He was first team All-State and on
various All-America lists.
“His concentration and his motivation
were just incredible,” says his football
coach, Frank Geske.
At 6-2, 180, he is unusually tall for a
Vietnamese man. His father was 5-9. His
mother, barely 5 feet, says there are tall
men in the family back in Vietnam. Says
Mike: “It’s really strange. 1 have stretch
marks on my body for no reason. On my
shoulders and on my back. I really don’t
know how I got so tall.”
He is playing wide receiver at UCLA,
where he figures to see plenty of action
with quarterback Tommy Maddox direct
ing offensive coordinator Homer Smith’s
wide-open attack.
Although Mike was a good enough cen
ter fielder to attract some baseball scouts,
football was always his first choice.
“Football was the most exciting of all the
sports I played,” says Mike. “The feeling
you get playing a football game doesn’t
compare to anything. It’s kind of hard to
explain. It just seems there’s so much more
work that goes into it, and it’s a lot more
rewarding.”
And they give you a free education if
you’re good enough at it. For a boy who,
when his family was struggling financially,
promised his mother he was going to get a
college scholarship, that meant a lot.
“He’s my son, and I’m proud of him no
matter what he accomplishes, but 1 have to
say that he has been like a dream come true
for me,” says Hoang, who recently remar
ried.
Not that she doesn’t get a kick out of
Mike’s sports.
“At first, she didn’t really know much
about football,” says Mike. “She used to
think it was just a whole bunch of people
out there just beating each other up for the
ball. But the last couple of years, she
doesn’t miss a game. She really loves foot
ball now, and she understands it. It’s gotten
to the point where if I’m not around or not
playing in a game and there’s a game on
TV, she’ll sit down and watch it. It think
that’s really neat.”
Mike has very few feelings about
America’s involvement in Vietnam or of
the war. In that sense, he’s not too different

“Most of the people 1 interact with are

He sometimes sees discrimination

“It’s something that people bring up a
lot,” he says. “It’s strange, because the way
1 see myself is just like any other football
player. I don’t see myself as different.”
His mother does.
“I’m very proud that he’s the first,” she

but all of us in the Asian community.”
She points out that, the stereotype notwith
standing, not all Vietnamese refugees are
mathematical geniuses headed for Harvard
or Cal Tech. Some have gravitated toward
street gangs for a sense of identity.
“We’ve had some problems with Asian
children and gotten a lot of bad publicity,”
she says. “Hopefully, Mike can help show

hard to get somewhere. He wanted to get a

It’s doubtful Hollywood could have
produced a more unbelievable long dis
tance ending than the one that
occurred at Cal-Berkeley’s Memorial
Stadium on Nov. 20,1982.
Actually, fans got two fantastic finish
es for the price of one.
Stanford quarterback John Elway had
just directed a thrilling 87-yard scoring
drive—including a successful fourth-and17 pass play—to set up a Mark Harmon
field goal with :04 remaining.
TTie kick seemingly lifted the Cardinal
to a 20-19 win over its Pac-10 rival.
Dramatic? Sure. On most days,
enough to warrant small headlines
across the country’s sports sections.
By the end of this game, the contest
was destined for the network news, and a
place in college football history.
Stanford, in an attempt to secure a
triumph, opted for a squibbed kick.
Bear cornerback Kevin Moen fielded
the ball at the Cal 44, and advanced
three yards.
He then pitched backward—although
Stanford faithful insist forward—across
the field to cornerback Richard
Rodgers, who forged ahead a couple of
yards before lateraling to running back
Dwight Garner, who was at the Cal 43.
Garner ran to midfield, where he was
met by four Cardinal defenders. In the pro
cess of going down. Garner pitched the ball
back to Rodgers, who was at the Bear 47.
That’s when the fun really began.
The Stanford band, thinking that
Garner had been tackled, marched onto
the field to celebrate the Cardinal win.
Rodgers, meanwhile, took the ball to
the Stanford 45, from where he pitched
back a yard to vride receiver Mariet Ford,
who ran to the Stanford 25.
About to be hit by three defenders.
Ford heaved the ball over his head... and
the pigskin landed in the hands of Moen,
who scampered 25 yards down the right
side of field—and through the band, level
ling a trombone player as he crossed the
goal line.
But was it a Cal victory? Was it a
Stanford victory? Would they run the
play over?
The officials huddled near midfield
before ruling: ‘Touchdown!”
Other aspects of the five-lateral play
have been talked about since:
• There was a penalty flag—but it was
against Stanford, so the penalty was
declined.
• Replays showed California didn’t
have enough players on the front line
for the play.
• With the exception of Ford, all the
Bear ball carriers on the final play had
practiced lateral plays as members of
the Cal rugby team.
Try to equal that, Hollywood!

Don’t be so sure.
BY JACK CLARY
Back in 1923, Stanford All-America
Ernie Nevers needed two hands
to hold the portly pigskin.
What is the one thing that makes football
such a unique game?... You guessed it, the
football.
Or more specifically, the fact that some
wise old rule-makers back in 1896 ruled
that the football must be a “prolate
spheroid.” And a “prolate spheroid” it has
been ever since—the one being used in
today’s game being the great, great grand
son of what came off their drawing board;
and like all great, great grand-progeny, it is
slightly different in appearance and better
built to fit the times.
Those bewhiskered gridiron legislators of
1896 couldn’t have realized the eventual
impact of their geometric ruling, but the
selection of a “prolate spheroid” really
gave the game its most distinctive feature
because of what can occur every time the
football hits the ground and begins to
bounce around. Unlike sports played with
round balls where bounces are truer, when
a football is loose, it can go in a lot of
crazy directions—and so can a game—
before someone finally gets a grip on it.
Just as important in a tactical sense, they
also started an inevitable process whereby
some of the “foot” eventually was taken
out of football, paving the way for a ball
capable of being gripped with one hand
and thrown to all parts of the field with
amazing accuracy.
Let’s face it, for young American ath
letes, life is just one ball after another,
most of them round—baseballs, basket
balls, soccer balls, volleyballs. Only in
football, however, must they master some
thing completely different. It wasn’t
always that way. The first official intercol
legiate game, played between Rutgers and
Princeton in 1869, really was an English

football— meaning soccer—game because
the ball was a round soccer ball of that
time.
American football didn’t change until
the rugby team from McGill University in
Montreal ventured to Boston a few years
later and played Harvard. The Harvards
liked the running and contact of the rugby
game and began to popularize it at colleges
throughout the East. Since Harvard led the
way for all innovations in the sport at that
time, the American game of football began
to take a different form—and so did its
ball.
The “prolate spheroid” shaped ball had
been used for five years before it was offi
cially sanctioned by the rule-makers in
1896, but it still looked more like a mis
shapen basketjball than the recognizable
football of/today. Spalding’s Official
Guide thabyear advertised it as “officially
adopted by the intercollegiate Foot Ball
Association for 1896... the fifth year of its
adoption. . .and the only football used in
match games between the large colleges.”
It sold for $5, including a “polished brass
football inflator.”
In 70 years, there has been just a quarterinch difference in the end-to-end circum
ference and just 3/4 to 1 3/4 of an inch at
its middle. In 1982, the Rules Committee
decreed that the colleges adopt their own
“official” ball in the dimensions just
described, maintaining “a pebbled sur
face” and its weight of “slightly less than a
pound.”
Unlike professional football where the
NFL’s ball is made by just one manufactur
er and its dimensions do not vary, the col
lege’s football is manufactured by several
firms as long as its dimensions fall within
the stipulated measurements. Each team
can use the ball of its choice whenever it is
on offense. Thus, two different brands of
footballs often are used in a game.

Oakland Athletics, introduced a new type
of football in 1990, that the football has
undergone any startling change. Finley,
you may recall, once proposed that major
league baseball use an orange fluorescent
ball to make it easier to follow, and he
made a similar proposal for a fluorescent
hockey puck when he owned a team in the
National Hockey League. That caused the
venerable Lords of Baseball and Hockey to
recoil in horror at the mere suggestion that
they change something.
Finley developed what he calls the
“Double Grip” football—a ball whose sur
face, while still “pebbled,” is different than
other footballs because there are no bumps.
Instead, the ball’s cover really is turned
inside out and those “bumps” have become
dimples, much like the cratered surface of
a golf ball. The idea resulted when Finley’s
dream of becoming a quarterback in high
school failed because he couldn’t hold the
ball. Instead, he became a guard, depriving
himself of what he always believed he
could do best—tell his team what to do.
Still, he never gave up the idea of devel
oping a ball that might be easier for other
young players to grasp, and a couple of
years ago his idea came alive in the form
of a new football, which was presented for
the NCAA’s Football Rules Committee
approval.
His real targets were the high schools
where other young “Charley Finleys” were
experiencing the same difficulties.
However, when he encountered Bo
Schembechler, president of the Detroit
Tigers and former Michigan athletic director
and head coach, at the 1990 Major League
All-Star game, he talked of its merits.
Schembechler was intrigued and suggested
that Finley send several of them to John
Falk, the Wolverines equipment manager.
Falk gave them to coach Gary Moeller
and quarterback Elvis Grbac, who also
liked it. The Wolverines were set to use it
in their 1990 season-opening game against
Notre Dame, but they didn’t get approval
until mid-season, against Illinois.
“We were struggling a bit at that time,
but Gary decided to let Grbac use it since
he liked it so much,” Falk said. “It was
somewhat of a courageous decision but it
worked because we began to win and
wound up with a victory in the Gator
Bowl.”
Falk then told friends who were equip
ment managers at the University of
Washington and the Air Force Academy
whose teams also used the ball. This sea
son, more teams will use the ball, which is
manufactured by both Wilson and
Rawlings, the two major suppliers of foot
balls.
“There is a difference,” said Falk,
“because with other balls, we had to
unpack them, wet them down, rub them up
and treat them often with a leather condi
tioner. With the Double Grips, we just
unpack them and give them a little condi
tioner and they’re ready to go. The grip is
the key because they are not as slippery
and don’t need the constant treatment.
“I don’t see any big difference between
dimples and bumps,” Falk added, “nor do
they seem to fly farther, faster or with
greater accuracy. But our quarterbacks like
them, and they started to win when we
used them.”
“Quarterbacks are like kickers some
times,” noted Dave Nelson, the secretary
of the NCAA Rules Committee. “They get
their minds set on something and you can’t
budge them. If a quarterback says a ball
feels better, and you don’t allow him to use
it, suddenly his passes start flying all over
the place because he just doesn’t feel com
fortable. It’s mostly mental but any smart
coach tries anything within reason that will
make his quarterback perform better.”
The key to this new ball is in the manu
facturing process, which is a specialized
craft regardless of the type of ball. It
begins with four pieces of cowhide (forget
the pigskin deal; that was centuries ago
when “soccer” players tired of kicking
hard skulls and switched instead to the
bladders of pigs and cows), each of which
is lined to give the ball its shape. Two
pieces are sewn together and those two are
sewn to another two, something that takes
up to a half year to learn, two years to
become an expert. Valve-type bladders are
then inserted. For the non-Double Grips,
the bladders are inserted after the ball is
turned inside out in a process developed in
the mid-1920s whereby a worker sticks
one end of the football on a steel bar and
tugs down. He does it with the other end
until the leather is on the outside.
The ball is then pre-laced with heavy
linen thread and cold-molded by being
inflated up to 80 pounds of pressure to
stretch out the linings and leather, straight
en out the seams and catch any potential
problems. They are then partially deflated
and laced on the top. The process ends
with some rough and fine buffing to bring
the natural tackiness of the leather to the
surface.
What happens then is up to those who
use the ball of their choice—which is fre
quently unpredictable. What more could
you ask of a “prolate spheroid?”

ball fever is heating up in Bolivar, Mo.,
and the Bearcats are the reason why. Last
year. Baptist advanced to the Division II
quarterfinals before bowing out of the tour
nament, and despite losing five players
from last year’s squad, the cupboard is
anything but bare for the ‘Cats this season.
Key returning players are 6-4 forward
Glenn Stanley, who averaged 14 ppg and
7.4 rpg during last season’s 29-3 run, and
Brad Johnson, a 6-6 guard/forward who
should improve on his nine ppg average,
especially if he fires up more treys, which
he hit 44 percent of the time last season.
Adding more fuel to the optimistic fires
is the arrival of Darrell Barnett, a 6-1 trans
fer from Temple; Hensley Parks, a 6-7 for
ward from Kilgore (Texas) Junior College
who played his high school ball at wellrespected Dunbar High in Baltimore, Md.;
and Brent Blevins, a 6-2 guard from
Forsyth, Mo., High.
Cal State Bakersfield: Two years ago,
the Roadrunners finished second in the
Division II tourney; last season, they fin
ished fourth. Will Cal State break that very
slight spiral and return to the title game?
Chances are good that the Roadrunners
will “beep-beep” their way at least to the
Final Four—and perhaps to a champi
onship.
One point is virtually certain: Coach Pat
Douglass’ team will make its eighth con
secutive trip to the NCAA Division II tour
ney. Yes, gone is Ray Burris, who averaged
10.6 ppg a year ago and departs as the
team’s best-ever free-throw shooter. But
returning is senior Beau Redstone, who set
a record for best field-goal shooting per
centage (65.2) and is on track to become
the team’s most prolific rebounder. With a

year of experience under his belt, sopho
more Kenny Warren, whose 54 treys last
year set yet another mark for the college,
should improve on his 11.1 ppg average.
His 138 assists of a year ago, when com
bined with the passing prowess of his backcourt mate, Fred Eckles (130 assists), gives
the Roadrunners a dynamic guard tandem.
And Russ Jarvis, the team’s leading scorer
last year (14.2 ppg) will be expected to pro
duce more offensively this year.
Douglass brings a 96-32 mark at Cal State
Bakersfield into the ‘91-’92 campaign.
Most certainly, he’ll get his 100th win as
the Roadrunner coach—and, quite possibly
a return trip to the championship game.
University of North Alabama: Only
two starters return from coach Gary
Elliott’s Division II champions, but that’s
not really a consideration under the coach’s
system. During the team’s championship
season, six players averaged in double fig
ures, and, on any given night, virtually any
player was capable of stepping forward
and dominating a game. For example, in
Elite Eight play, three different players
each led the team in scoring in those three
final games of the season—with more than
30 points each time.
The most likely player to dominate this
year, however, is Tony Dorsey, who aver
aged 14.2 ppg and 7.8 rpg—both team
leading numbers—off the bench. He’ll be
helped by the presence of Ricky Johnson,
the 6-7 center who hauled in 7.1 rpg while
scoring at a 12.1 clip. Kevin Simmons, a 62 guard, averaged 12.6 ppg, and should
improve on that figure, as should Dorsey
and Johnson, this year.
Returning, too, are Eric Smith and
Darrell Hardy, both of whom played as
many minutes as did some of the starters.
So, the cupboard is anything but bare for
Elliott, who’s 65-23 in his three years as
coach of the Lions. Certainly, he has
enough returning talent to make a run at
the tourney again. Whether or not the
chemistry—or the depth—is there for a
successful title defense remains to be seen.
University of Bridgeport: Answer:
Lambert Shell. Question: Why do the
Knights have as good a shot as any other
team to win the Division II title?
A year ago. Shell was almost enough.
But Bridgeport lost the title game to North
Alabama, which has to consider the
Knights as something of a good-luck
charm in the Final Four: in 1979, the
Lions had to defeat Bridgeport in the semi
finals before winning the national title.
Shell returns—again—and is a shoo-in to
repeat as All-America. Last year, he was
named outstanding player of the Division
II tourney and, on the season, averaged
23.8 ppg. This season, with some addition
al help from his supporting cast. Shell may
be able to bring a Division II crown to
Connecticut, matching the feat of nearby
Sacred Heart University in 1987. One bad
omen for shell and his Knight teammates,
however, would be facing North Alabama
in the Final Four.
Shaw: Yes, this team is a longshot, but it
has two of the marquis players in Division
II returning for their senior years. Terry
McCoy averaged 23.7 ppg a year ago, and
there’s no reason to believe he’ll light up
the scoreboard for any less this year—par
ticularly when you figure in his four treys
made per game of a year ago. Also expect
ed to improve on already-gaudy statistics is
Curtis Reed, whose 10.8 rpg made him the
lOth-best rebounder in Division II.
Combine him with the division’s leading
rebounder a season ago, Shaw’s Sheldon
Owens (12.0 rpg), and you begin to realize
why this team may go places.
With players the caliber of Owens, Reed
(who last year hit two of every three shots
from the field) and McCoy, a team such as
Shaw can catch fire in a short-term situa
tion such as a tournament, and make a
legitimate run for an Elite Eight berth.
BEST OF THE REST
Slippery Rock returns Donald Burnett,
but loses four starters from last year’s Elite
Eight team. Still, Burnett is enough of a
talent to make the Rock a late-season con
tender... Chaminade earned headlines
years ago by upsetting Georgetown’s
Hoyas. This year, the team boasts the lead
ing returning Division II scorer in George
Gilmore (28.3 ppg) and may make waves
in Division II. Gilmore is also the leading
returning three-point shooter (along with
McCoy) in the Division. Last season, he
averaged four treys per game.
DIVISION III
Otterbein: The Cards led the division in
shooting last year with 59.3 percent accu
racy from the floor en route to a 30-3 mark
and a third-place finish in the country. Is
there a better season in the Cards this year?
Much of that depends on how well coach
Dick Reynolds (career: 335-179) replaces
all-everything Jim Bradley, who led
Otterbein in scoring (26.1) and rebounding
(5.3) during last year’s superlative season.
Four other seniors are lost from that team,
but the Cards are still well-stacked.
The best of the returnees includes Jerry
Dennis, a 6-1 guard who will most defi
nitely improve on his 13.8 ppg average of a
year ago, now that the long shadow of
Bradley is gone. It’s obvious he can shoot;
Dennis hit more than 60 percent of his
shots last year. Ditto for his backcourt mate
and fellow co-captain Larry Laisure, who
hit almost half of his three-point attempts

and whose 9.8 average will likely double.
Sophomore Nick Gutman didn’t start a
game last year but still averaged 10.5 ppg
and hit 40 percent of his three-point
attempts. This is another full deck for these
Cards in ‘91-’92.
Calvin College: For the past two sea
sons, the Knights have been a member of
the Division’s Elite Eight. Last season,
Calvin was denied a second straight trip to
the Final Four by Otterbein, which downed
the Knights, 75-73.
This season, however, Calvin may not be
content with just a third straight trip to the
Elite Eight. The only loss from last year’s
squad is guard Todd Hennink, who once
tied a Division III single-game record for
three-pointers, making 12 in just 14
attempts. But ready to pick up the slack is
Steve Hondqrd^ an extremely viable AllAmerica cqtiter candidate. Last season, the
6-7 Honderd hit 65.6 percent of his shots
from the field and was the team’s leading
scorer with a 20.6 ppg average. He again
should be the top rebounder for the
Knights, and is expected to improve on his
7.1 rpg of a season ago. He’ll be helped in
scoring and rebounding by Tom Broene, a
6-5 forward who hit half of his shots en
route to averaging 11.6 ppg and 3.6 rpg.
Also returning is Matt Harrison, a mercuri
al guard who holds the college record for
assists (185). He’ll be joined by Matt
Rottman, who hit half of his treys and
should pick up where the departed
Hennink left off.
Coach Ed Douma is a sterling 145-41 in
seven seasons with his alma mater. Don’t
expect this season’s mark to lower that
impressive winning percentage of
.780—and don’t be surprised if the Knights
are crowned kings of Division III.

HOOP PREVIEW
Scott Browning - Secondary
Moving to the defensive side of the ball, from the offensive backfield, Scott
brings a wealth of coaching experience in his sixth year at the 'Boro. Under his guidance
the Scot defense has intercepted 56 passes the past three seasons. He has guided the for
tunes of Boro All-American Wade Smith and PSAC Rookie of the Year Mario Houston.
Scott came to Edinboro from Ohio State University, where he coached receivers
and runningbacks including Keith Byers. Prior to his start at OSU, Browning coached at
Worthington and Dayton-Fairview High Schools in Ohio, from 1979-81. Then, as a grad
uate assistant, he coached the defensive secondary at New Mexico State in 1982.
In 1983, he mentored the receivers at Idaho State University which advanced to
the Division I-AA playoffs.
Browning earned a master's degree in education administration from New Mexi
co State in 1983, and a BS in education from Ohio State in 1981. Earlier, before transfer
ring to OSU, Scott attended Capital University where he played football for one season.
Browning was a four-year letterman in four sports at Loudenville High School (OH)
prior to his collegiate days. Scott recently married the former Lynn Hook and resides in
Edinboro.
Dan Gierlak - Running Backs
Dan Gierlak enters his fifth season as a full-time coach with his responsibilities
concerning the running backs. He is also the head women's softball coach for the Scots
and led the squad to the PSAC playoffs in 1990.
Gierlak came to the 'Boro from Thiel College (Pa.) where he coached the defen
sive secondary for the 1984 season. Dan, a starter and three-year letterwinner for the
Plaid in the secondary, moved on to the semi-pro ranks with the Chicago Cowboys. Dur
ing his short stint with the Cowboys, Gierlak's squad gained national championship
honors in 1984 and runner up nationally in the 1985 season. Gierlak brings both playing
and coaching experience to the staff, giving the Scot players an added plus on the offen
sive side of the ball. As backfield coach, he has guided former Harlon Hill finalist Elbert
Cole and current Boro All-American Lester Frye.
Originally from Buffalo, New York, Dan graduated from Edinboro with a degree
in health and physical education. He and his wife, the former Amy Adams and new
born daughter, Alexandria Alicia, reside in Edinboro.
Mark Niswonger - Defensive Coordinator/Linebackers
Franklin & Marshall’s Will Lasky heads up the best backcourt in Division III.
XTf
game) of a team that went 28-3 and lost to
Wisconsin-Platteville, 81-74 in the finals
of the Division III tournament? The
favorite.
To further strengthen their claim as the
pre-season choice to win it all, the
Diplomats include among their returnees
two All-America selections in guards Chris
Finch and Will Lasky, arguably the best
backcourt in Division III. Lasky averaged
18.3 ppg and his colleague, Finch, 14.1,
while leading the team in rebounding (6.1).
Toss in the three-point shooting of Tom
Nicholson, who hit 47 percent of those
shots last year, and the scoring of Mark
Maggioncalda (13.8 ppg) and that’s all the
offense this team needs.
Ever-improving Dave Wilding is the
team’s 6-7 center who played superlatively
in the Final Four and made its all-tourna
ment team, setting a host of tourney shoot
ing records along the way.
Topping it all off is Glenn Robinson,
entering his 21st season as the F«&M coach,
with a career mark of 377-163. Robinson,
who has led his team to the tourney in 11
of the past 17 years, has never grabbed the
elusive brass ring. This year, his hand is
outstretched and the championship just
may be within his grasp.
University of Rochester: Last year, the
Yellowjackets came just a basket away
from earning a berth in the Division III
Final Four and the chance to defend the
national title they won in 1989-90. Such an
accomplishment may be a stretch this year,
but you have to remember this team is a
combined 50-12 over the past two seasons,
including an incredible 9-1 mark in post
tourney play. So, don’t put anything past
coach Mike Neer and his U of R squad. In
fact, in some ways, the ‘91-’92 season may
be easier for Neer. First of all, his team
won’t play 15 of its last 17 games away
from home, as the Yellowjackets did a year
ago. In fact, they may have as many as 17
home games this season.
Secondly, Chris Fite, the team’s 6-8 cen
ter, is bound to get better—-and he’s
already earned first team All-America hon
ors. Last year, he averaged 20.4 ppg, 10.2
rpg, shot 55.1 percent from the field and
was second on the team in assists with 114,
in blocks with 36 and in steals with 41.
Even though the Yellowjackets lose three
starters from last year’s squad, Fite’s
imposing presence in the middle will make
up for a host of shortcomings. He’ll be
helped by Michael Coleman, a 6-7 forward
who averaged 12.7 ppg and 7.3 rpg a year
ago, and who is the other returning starter.
The backcourt isn’t as unsettled as it may
appear at first blush. Jim Jordan, a junior,
should be fully recovered from anterior
cruciate ligament surgery and will improve
his under-three ppg average. Soph Kyle
Meeker will likely start at shooting guard,
and Neer will count on him to hit the trey
for the ‘Jackets this season.
Wisconsin-Platteville: Are the defend
ing Division III champs rebuilding or sim
ply reloading? Coach Bo Ryan loses six
seniors from last year’s 28-3 squad, but 10
players saw a ton of minutes last year, and
four of those players return.
That group is led by T.J. Van Wie, a 6-0
junior point guard who averaged 11 ppg
while hitting 51 percent of his shots from
the field. He also dished out five assists per
game and led the team in minutes
played—not an insignificant accomplish
ment under Ryan’s system, where two of
last year’s three leading scorers came off
the bench.
Van Wie will be joined at guard by fellow
veteran Carlton Jeter, a 6-2 senior who start
ed last year. The middle is deep with return
ing starter Brian Gilmore, a 6-5 senior, and
Mark Macomber, a 7-foot senior.
Additionally, Ryan has a corps of redshirt players who practiced against the
national champions all last season. That
experience—and the talent left over from
last year’s squad—just may be enough to
prompt the Pioneers to explore for another
title.
BEST OF THE REST
Hamilton posted a 26-1 mark last year,
and returns Mike Smith, who led the divi
sion with 16.1 rpg...Potsdam State is a
perennial power that may be ready to
threaten for the title again...Andre
Foreman, who topped all Division III scor
ers with a 31.5 ppg average, makes
Salisbury State a threat to win any ballgame. *■*
Mark Niswonger, a veteran of the coaching ranks for 18 years, begins his fourth
year with the Plaid as defensive coordinator and linebacker coach. Former imderstudy of
head coach Tom Hollman at Greenville High School, Mark brings extensive experience
both on and off the field to the Scot coaching staff. He has helped mold the Scot defense
into one of the toughest in the country over the past two years.
His coaching stint began back while attending Findlay when he was the head
scout for Arlington High School. His first job after college was as defensive coordinator
for Bryan High School (OH) where the team earned a 9-1 record. The next two seasons,
Niswonger was the defensive coordinator at West Carrollton High School (OH) where
his squad posted an impressive 17-1-2 slate.
After West Carrollton, he then returned to graduate school at Ball State Universi
ty where he helped coach the tight ends and offensive linemen.
From 1981-84, Niswonger was the head coach at Franklin City Schools and was
named "coach of the year" in 1982 when his squad won its first league championship in
18 years. He then moved on to the collegiate ranks in 1984 at Manchester College as
defensive coordinator and then back to his alma mater from 85-87 as their secondary
coach.
Niswonger's education includes an undergraduate degree in physical education
and political science from Findlay and a MA in physical education from Ball State. Mark
and his wife Patty and new-born daughter, Megan Marie, reside in Edinboro.

Gene Smith- Defensive Line
Player Profiles

Ed Stults - Offensive Line
Ed Stults enters his third year directing the Scot offensive line. In his initial year
with Edinboro, Stults organized an offensive fi*ont that was one of the best in the coun
try. He directed the fortunes of three All-Americans including Scot first-teamer Curtis
Rose and numerous All-Conference players. He has had an immediate impact on the
Scot offense.
He brings over ten years of coaching experience to the Scot linemen. He began
his coaching career at his alma mater, Blufton College, in 1981 directing the linebackers.
Later on in his coaching stint he turned his attention to the offensive line. He played
linebacker at Blufton from 1976-79 and he graduated in 1980 with a BA in education.
After his coaching tenure at Blufton that spanned 1981-87, Stults took the offen
sive line duties at the University of Cincinnati in 1988. Last season he joined the Fighing

When Edinboro University packed its bags for Christmas
vacation a year ago, there were several questions left unan
swered. Could a struggling team with three early season road
losses compete in the PSAC? What the Scots did was more
than merely compete.
The Fighting Scots showed that a team with early set
backs could pull together. "Our guys did a great job of com
ing together," said third year coach Greg Walcavich. "They
never doubted each other. We came back in January and start
ed all over."
Walcavich's club may not be so fortunate this year to be
able to catch a second wind in January. This is due to a very
strong first half schedule that features Bloomsburg (last year's
top finisher in the PSAC East) along with two of the best
teams in the West Virginia Conference (Salem-Teikyo and
West Virginia Tech) in the Edinboro tournament. The road
will not get any easier for Walcavich's club. "We have a rigor
ous schedule," commented Walcavich. "We could have an
outstanding basketball team and not win 18 games. We may
be competing for a league playoff spot with a lackluster
record."
The Plaid finished the 1990-91 campaign at 18-10 overall
and 8-4 in the PSAC with no less than six league games
decided at the buzzer. "We won a number of close games (last
year)," Walcavich noted. "Out of twelve league games, six
were decided on the last shot. We hit four of them, we were
four shots away from being 4-8 or 10-2."
Edinboro will have some big shoes to fill in the '91-92
season. The Scots will be without the services of 6-5 forward
Sterling Washington, last year's leading scorer and rebounder
(17.1 ppg, 8.5 rpg); 5-11 guard Mark Murdock (12.6 ppg) and
6-8 power forward John Mohre (6.9 ppg), all due to gradua
tion. If those losses weren't tough enough for the Scots' men
tor, things got worse with the news that Sean Gibson, this
year's leading returning scorer at 14.4 ppg, will not return to
school.
Derek Walton, a 5-9 senior guard will be the nucleus to
build around in the backcourt for Walcavich. Walton aver
aged 12.6 points and 4.4 assists per game a year ago. "We will
certainly look forward to a good year from Derek," comment
ed Walcavich. "He did a real nice job for us last year."
The team leader for the 1991-92 campaign will be 6-5
senior forward Aaron Brown, the PSAC "Rookie of the Year"
in 1988-89 who averaged 9.7 points per game last year. Brown
will likely end his career on the top 15 all-time scorers list at
Edinboro. He needs just 194 points to reach the milestone.
"Aaron was here before me," noted Walcavich. "I anticipate
him being one of the best players we'll have this year, he'll
really do well."
Also returning from last year's squad are sophomore for
ward Torry Rollins, junior forward Sam Dickerson, junior
guard Greg Fox, and sophomore guards Ron Santiago and
Carlos Peterson.
Rollins played in 24 games for the Scots last year, aver
aged 5.3 points and 3.6 rebounds. He shot 49.6 percent from
the floor while making 72 percent of his free throws.
Dickerson played in 23 games, averaging 4.3 points and
2.5 rebounds per game last year as a sophomore, including 8
rebounds in a win at Lock Haven,
Santiago only averaged 2.5 points per game but did play
in 26 games last year as a freshman.
33
Fox played in 20 games last
year and connected on 8 of his
18 field goal attempts.
Newcomers for the upcom
ing year will include forwards
Keith Perry, Price Williams,
Marc Pope and Exavier Zolliooffer.
Perry, a 6-4 forward, aver
aged 22.5 points, 12 rebounds
and 2 blocks per game for
Wilbur Trosch at West Mifflin
High School. He scored over
1,200 points in his high school
career.
Williams is a 6-4,185 pound
junior college transfer from
Prince George's Community
College in the Washington, D.C.,
area and was a junior college
All-American on the nation's
number four ranked JC squad.
Pope, a 6-6, 205 pound
transfer from Cuyahoga Com
munity College, averaged 10
points and 11 rebounds per
game. He was a three-year letterman for Doc Daugherty at
Euclid High School, averaging
15 points and 10 rebounds per
outing.
Zollicoffer, a 6-3, 210 pound
sophomore, played at Canton
McKinley (OH) Senior High
School where he led his team to
a state championship with a 271 record.
Junior Simpson, a 6-9, 215
pound forward was a redshirt
last year and should see action
at the forward/center position.
Simpson gives the Scots a solid defensive performer on the
inside, something the squad has needed for years.
Adam Cheek, a 6-2 junior and Walter Reap, a 6-1 junior
are the newcomers at the guard spot.
Cheek averaged 12.5 points and 5.2 rebounds per game
at Ballard High School in Louisville, KY. He also dished out
2.5 assists and had 2.3 steals per game for the Bruins.
Reap is a transfer from Cuyahoga Community College
where he received All-Conference honors in both years. He is
from Atlanta, GA, and played under Coach Mark Osina at C.
E. Ellison High School in Texas, where he averaged 20 points
and 6 assists per game. He was named to the All-District and
All-Central Texas teams as a senior.
The Scots will begin their annual tournament in McComb
Fieldhouse on November 22. In this year's tournament the
Plaid will battle Bloomsburg, West \^rginia Tech and SalemTeikyo for the title.

Battle of Edinboro
On Thursday, November 7, the Fighting Scots did
battle with the Rolling Scots in a wheelchair football
game. The game was played as part of Disability
Awareness Week.
Both teams were psyched up for the game. The
Fighting Scots won the opening coin toss and elected to
receive the ball. They were held in check by the
tenacious defense of the Rolling Scots who have held
their opponents to just 23 points in 5 games. The first
score of the game came from a punt return for a
touchdown by the Rolling Scots. The Rolling Scots went
on to add 30 more points in their 37-0 win over their
able bodied counterparts. Jim Valvo led all scorers with
21 points and he also intercepted the Fighting Scots
twice. Ken Kisiel led the potent offense of the Rolling
Scots with 6 completions out of 9 attempts, 3
touchdowns, and only 1 interception.
Although the Fighting Scots didn't get on the
scoreboard, they started moving the ball toward the end
of the game. They should be commended for their heart
and sportsmanship that they displayed during the
game. And most of all, they should be applauded for
their participation which helped in making Disability
Awareness Week a big success.

Scots Host Fairmont State
THE GAME:
THE OFFENSES:
The Scots host Fairmont State College with Pizza Hut
serving as the game sponsor. At half time Pizza Hut will hold
an "All You Can Eat Pizza Contest" for the fraternities and
sororities.
Jody Dickerson (98-182-1,313-7 td-13 int) directs the
offense and looks for Wrentie Martin (39-607-3 td), Lateef
Walters (21-434-1 td), Paul Stone (8-107) and tight end Brian
Heebsh (12-141-2 td).
Derrick Russell (58-300-3 td) got the call against lUP and
responded with 102 yards and a pair of scores. The status of
Lester Frye (128-637-11 td) and Derrick Lewis (57-282-2 td) is
questionable following a game suspension. Freshman Larry
Jackson (24-156-1 td) is another threat. Blocking up front
continues to be Gordy Hitchcock, Wally Spisak, Curtis Rose,
Mike Kegarise and Scott Nickel.
The Falcons counter with the running of tailback Irwin
Hastings (222-1,080-8 td), a transfer from Kent State. He
averages over 120 yards per game.
FSC is expect^ to start Aramis Rgueora (40-92-496-2 td-6
int) over center. Hastings (12-92-1 td) can also catch the ball
out of the backfield while Bryan Wilson (12-141-2 td) and Eric
Ritz (11-196) are solid wideouts. Ritz is questionable after
missing the Shepherd game with injury.
The Falcons love to run the ball evidence of their 201
yards per game average on the ground.
THE RECORDS:
The Boro looks to recover from 20-17 setback from lUP.
This was the first time that the Plaid lost at home to a Division
II school under Tom Hollman. Edinboro has dropped three of
their last four games.
Edinboro opened with a loss at I-AA YSU 24-0 then
rebounded with wins over Northwood (25-14), Southern
Connecticut (35-16), Bloomsburg (23-21), Clarion (17-9), and
Lock Haven (28-12). The Plaid fell at Shippensburg (45-7) then
drilled California (45-10) before suffering their second shutout
of the season at the Rock (7-0).
Fairmont owns a forfeit win over West Virginia Tech and a
tie with West Liberty (10-10) and stand at 1-7-1. They have
fallen to Clarion (24-21), Slippery Rock (32-7), WV Wesleyan
(3-0), Concord (21-16), Glenville (44-34), WV State (27-25) and
most recently Shepherd (33-16).
THE DEFENSES:
THE SERIES:
The Boro looks to contain the ground game with the play
of All-American tackle John Messura (62 tackles-14 for loss-6
sacks), linemate Russell Cray (39) and ends Delvin Pickett (619 for loss-6 sacks) and Anthony Mariani (38).
The linebacking crew has been strong as of late with Jason
Perkins (122-7 for loss-4 sacks-2 int), Joel Marratta (81-4 for
loss-4 sacks), Mike Barnes (77) and Steve Russell (41-2 sacks-2
int).
The secondary has improved spearheaded by Georj Lewis
(45-2 rec) who will start his 34th consecutive game at the
corner. Wade Smith (67) is at free safety while Mario Houston
(68-1 int) is at the other back spot.
FSC has picked 18 enemy passes and is a threat to
Dickerson. SS Derek Judd (54 stops) owns 5 interceptions
while CB Vashon Page (75) has 3 and 12 deflections. MLB Matt
Joseph (128-2 int-2 rec-3 sacks-2 blk kicks) is outstanding. Up
front, end Deion Frazier (68-3 rec-8 blk passes) and Allon
Sansom (60) are both active.
This will be the second time that both teams have ended
the regular season against one another. Fairmont holds a 6-3-2
record over the Scots. The series started with a 0-0 tie back in
73. In 7 of the 11 battles, games have been decided by 9 points
or less. In the series, the Scots have tallied 160 points to the
Falcons 169.
THE COACHES:
Hollman stands at 28-14-1 including an impressive 18-5-1
slate against western foes. Hollman's overall head coaching
slate of 52-25-2 (.658%) ranks high among active Division II
coaches. The Scots have been 5-4-1, 8-3, 9-3 and currently 6-4
under Hollman.
Veteran coach Wally Hood directs the Falcons. His eightyear slate with FSU is 41-35-4. Hood's overall slate in 17 years
of collegiate coach is 90-74-7.

His scholarly achievements in the discipline of applied ethics in higher edu
cation deserves special mention. The model statement he authored for the
American Association of State Colleges and Universities, "Ethical Practices for
College Presidents," was unanimously adopted by that professional organiza
tion and published as policy for the chief executives of its nearly 400 member
institutions nationwide. It has also been adopted by the Pennsylvania State Sys
tem of Higher Education Board of Governors as a guiding statement for presi
dents of those institutions.
A staunch advocate of a statewide system of public universities in Pennsyl
vania, President Diebold supported the enabling legislation for the State System
of Higher Education (Act 188 of 1982) and saw the State System come to exis
tence in 1983 as a member of the transition team. He currently serves on the
System's Executive Council of Presidents and on the boards of the Pennsylvania
Academy for the Profession of Teaching, the Pennsylvania State Athletic Con
ference, and the University Center at Harrisburg.
For his leadership and scholarly achievement on an international scale and
for his many contributions to advancements of higher education and enrich
ment of an emerging culture in Pakistan, President Diebold was decorated with
prestigious gold medals from three Pakistani universities. The awards for edu
cational eminence were presented during visits to the Edinboro campus by offi
cial Pakistani delegations. Active in the community, he serves on the Board of
Directors of the Erie Conference on Community Development, the United Way
of Erie County, the Board of Corporators of both St. Vincent Health Center and
Hamot Medical Center, and on the Executive Committee of the French Creek
Council of the Boy Scouts of America. He is also a member of the Marine Bank
Advisory Board, the Advisory Board of the McMannis Educational Trust Fund,
and the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Corporation Scholarship Review Committee.
President Diebold resides in Edinboro with his wife, Patricia, and daugh
ters, Jessica and Stacey.

Athletic Director James K. 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.
Through his efforts more than $4 million has been raised during the
past ten 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 sixteen intercollegiate sports.
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.
Jim McDonald
Fifty-six camps were sponsored by the Fighting Scots Booster Club this
past summer on the University's campus. Sox Harrison Stadium is the site of
the Cleveland Browns vs. the Buffalo Bills annual rookie scrimmage, which has
been a nrdd-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 (1962-1975) 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 Confer
ence 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 assis
tant 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.
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 sec
ond 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 All-Tournament Team in 1959 and 1960.
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-Ume College Basketball Team and member
ship in the West Virginia Sports Hall of Fame.
As a resident of Edinboro, McDonald has a record of extensive commu
nity 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.

The Edinboro University Fighting
Scot football team, under the direction of
four-year coach Tom Hollman, will look
to remain among the NCAA Division II
elite in 1991 as they set their sights on a
third consecutive trip to the national
playoffs.
Hollman, a 1968 graduate of Ohio
Northern University, has earned high
marks as the Scot mentor, leading Edin
boro to a 22-10-1 overall mark and con
secutive appearances in the NCAA
playoffs. Even more impressive is his 152-1 slate in the Pennsylvania State Athlet
ic Conference Western Division.
Hollman's overall coaching mark of 4621-2 (.681%) ranks 11th among active
Division II coaches.
The 1991 Scots return 14 starters and
40 lettermen from their 9-3 squad and
will once again battle for PSAC West
supremacy. The Scots captured the west
ern crown two years ago and took second
in 1990. Edinboro won their first ever
Division II playoff game last November
with a 38-14 win over Virginia Union
then fell to arch-rival lUP 14-7 in the
NCAA quarterfinals.
The Scots will once again face a
rugged schedule in 1991 as they open at
Division I-AA power Youngstown State
on September 7. It is on the road again in
week two at North wood Institute (MI) - a
squad that downed NAIA power West
minster in 1990. Edinboro returns home
for weeks three and four hosting South
ern Connecticut and Bloomsburg (Home
coming) on September 21 and 28.
Edinboro then faces consecutive
western division tests at Clarion, Lock
Haven and Shippensburg before return
ing home for a battle with California in
late October. Playing five of their first
seven games on the road will pose a great
challenge for Hollman and the Scots.
After a trip to Slippery Rock in week
nine, Edinboro hosts the showdown with
lUP on November 9. Rugged Fairmont
State follows at home to conclude the reg
ular season.

Skill Positions
The Scots will have to somehow find
a way to replace the record setting pass
ing combination of quarterback Hal
Galupi and All-American Ernest Priester.
All-American tailback Lester Frye
returns and once again carries a huge
offensive load. With his record 317 carries
last fall, Frye broke the all-time PSAC
mark with 1,630 yards rushing. Frye
rushed for 234 yards, including 203 in the
first half, in the Scots' playoff win against
Virginia Union.
Joining Frye will be returnees Der
rick Russell (656 yards, 6.8 YPC avg., 6
TDs) and fullbacks Tom Tedder (192
yards, 1 TD) and Matt Koehle. At receiv
er, replacing Priester is impossible but the
Plaid does boast Wrentie Martin (26
catches, 285 yards, 1 TD), Paul Stone (21,
270, 1 TD) and tight end Brian Heebsh
(13, 238) to make up a strong receiving
trio.
The quarterback spot is wide open
with freshman red shirt Eric Kuhn and
returnee Sean Seibert, who led the Scots
to their playoff win, expected to battle for
the #1 spot. Kuhn has never taken a snap
for the Plaid while Seibert is nursing a
wrist injury suffered in the spring.
Offensive Line
First team All-American Curtis Rose
(OG) anchors the line at 6-3, 278 pounds.
Named to numerous 1991 pre-season AllAmerica teams. Rose has spearheaded the
ground attack over the past three years.
AU-PSAC second team pick Wally Spisak
returns at tackle while starters Scott Nick
el and Mike Kegarise give the squad great
strength up front. The latter two perform
ers were first-year players in 1990 and
also had great years for the Scots. Frank
Gibson is expected to fill the void left by
All-Conference pick Brad Powell.
Defensive Line
Here again, some holes to fill with
the graduation of All-American Jeff
Jacobs and Matt Miller. All-Conference
choice John Messura (80 tackles, 10 for
loss) can also rush the quarterback from
his tackle spot. His nine sacks were sec
ond only to Miller in 1990. End Delvin
Pickett (67 stops, 2 fumble recoveries
including a score) is quietly effective on
the outside. The Scots could get help as
linebacker Anthony Ross (team high 115
tackles) is expected to move to the down
position.
11
Linebackers
With Ross moving to the defensive
end spot, returnee Jason Perkins (83 tack
les) will carry a heavy load of responsibil
ity on the inside. His 55 solo stops were
second best for the Scots last fall.
Also returning on the inside will be
Joel Marratta (72 tackles) who was a key
man in the defensive success a year ago.
Marratta was also the Boro's top special
teams performer for 1990 as voted on by
the players. Mike Gentile, Anthony Mari
an! and Steve Nagy have also seen game
action in the past. This is a key position
for the defense and the Scots will also
look for someone to replace veteran AllPSAC performer A1 Donahue.
Secondary
Possibly the strength of the 1990
squad, the defensive backfield will return
in full. Pre-season All-American Wade
Smith, a first-team PSAC pick last fall,
will call the shots from his free safety
spot. His 81 stops and four interceptions
were among the team leaders in 1990.
Smith's 12 interceptions is tied for second
on the all-time Edinboro list.
Cornerbacks Mario Houston and
Georj Lewis will be in the starting lineup
while strong safety/outside linebacker
Mike Barnes also returns. Houston was
the PSAC West "Rookie of the Year" for
1990 and led the Scots with five intercep
tions. He was also in on 63 tackles. Lewis
begins his third season in the secondary
and has started every game since his
freshman year. Lewis totaled 68 tackles
with a pair of interceptions last year.
Barnes was in on 63 stops and was tied
with Smith for the team-lead in fumble
recoveries with three.
Kicking Game
The place-kicking duties will be up
for grabs during the fall season as the
Scots must fill a void here. The punting
chores will be secured by sophomore
Gary Lhotsky who did a very solid job for
the Plaid last fall. His 34.6 yards per punt
mark on 40 tries was excellent for a firstyear player.

Head Coach Tom Hollman
In January 1988, Edinboro University hired Tom Hollman, Athens, Ohio, as
its eleventh head football coach in the school's history Hollman came to Edin
boro from Ohio University, where he was the defensive coordinator,
Hollman, beginning his fourth year, has turned the Scot program around.
With the Scots he has earned 22 wins against just ten losses and one tie and
owns an impressive 15-2-1 slate against the PSAC West.
In 1989, he was named the top coach in the East Region by the National
Football Coaches Association and also tabbed the top coach in the PSAC West.
Last season, he guided the Scots to their first-ever NCAA II playoff win as
Edinboro routed Virginia Union and advanced to the national quarterfinals.
"Edinboro has been a great experience, and I like the direction of the pro
gram," Hollman said.
"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 appeal
ing 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 players 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.
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 Uni
versity 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 intercep
tions 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 Greenville High School in Ohio where he became head coach from
1971-73. 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 champ in '74, unbeaten at 90-1.
In '76, Hollman moved on to the collegiate ranks where he was the defen
sive 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).
In 1981, Hollman took an assistant coaching spot with Ball State University
which he held through the '84 campaign. Then, beginning in 1985 Hollman held
the defensive coordinator position at Ohio University.
"It has been a very comfortable transition for me," Hollman added. "I have
found the community to be supportive arid the administration is giving me
every opportunity to be successful here at Edinboro," he concluded.
'Tom resides in Edinboro with his wife, Kandi, and four children, Mari, Jon,
Hm and Denise.

Coaches will tell you that big plays—
long gainers that earn momentum, field
position and sometimes even
points—are the keys to football games.
Coaches also will tell you that
downfield blocking is the key to big
plays.
“Good downfield blocking is
the difference in a 10- or 12yard run and a 60- or 80-yard
run,” says Phillip Fulmer, offen
sive coordinator at Tennessee.
On just about every long run or a short
pass that turns into a long gainer, there is a
minimum of at least one downfield block,”
says Pete Cordelli, receivers coach at Notre
Dame. “We shoot for four downfield

team, and our plays develop slowly. That
forces us to keep our backside linernen in
to block on the line of scrimmage.”
Wide receivers hardly have the image of
devastating blockers. Selling them on the
job is a coach’s top priority.
“Ninety-five percent of downfield block
ing is simply wanting to,” Fulmer says.
“We tell a guy that he can play (at wide
receiver) here if he’ll go out and throw his
body around. He may not play on thirdand-long, but he’ll play on other downs.”
“Nowhere in the rule book does it say
that wide receivers can’t be physical,” says
Cordelli. “They’re supposed to be pretty
boys who never get knocked down...well,
we don’t look at it like that around here.
“The more things a receiver can do, the
more valuable he is. There are pride fac
tors involved. One guy will say, T got four
knockdowns last game.’ Another will say.
‘Yeah, I got five.’ We have a board set up
that we call our winner’s chart. Among
other things, we keep up with how many
knockdowns each receiver gets in a game.
“If a guy stays here three years and
doesn’t understand the importance of
downfield blocking, I guarantee you he
won’t be playing. But it takes awhile for
them to understand the importance of it.
“Downfield blocking is a mindset, a
mental state of mind. They have to realize
that an offense is 11 guys working in uni
son, not 9 or 10. They have to know that if
they’re not catching the football on a par
ticular play, then they’d better be blocking
for the guy who has the ball.
“And what really sells them on it is when
they make a big block and the guy breaks
it for a touchdown. They say, ‘Hey, my
block did that.’”
“We always make as big a deal as we can
about a great downfield block,” Fulmer
says. “We want them to know how impor
tant (the coaches) think it is.”
The importance is obvious at practice.
“We usually work on it every day,”
Fulmer says. “If not every day, then cer

“We work on it 15 minutes every day,”
Cordelli says. “Crossfield, downfield...we
stress it all.”
If desire to get the Job done is the key,
then proper technique is key 1-A. And
blocking downfield correctly is much
tougher than it may appear.
“Everybody says the toughest thing in
football is making an open-field tackle,”
Cordelli says. “Wrong. The toughest thing is

grab, you’ve got to be agile enough, tough
enough, and keep your eyes open so that
you can react to what the defensive back
does.
“A defensive back should never miss a
tackle in the open field because he can
grab the blocker and throw him out of the
way. And it’s hard for the offensive guy
not to grab, especially if the defensive guy
gets around him. We emphasize in practice
not grabbing the guy. If it happens, the
player runs extra. There’s nothing worse
than having a long run, then seeing a yel
low flag on the ground because a receiver
reached out and grabbed somebody.”
A recent rule change has allowed downfield blockers to extend their hands but not
grab.
“It’s made a big difference,” Fulmer
says. “It’s helped in shielding the guy, but
you have to be careful that it doesn’t take
away from the aggressiveness of the
blocker.”
Still, the downfield blocking technique is
a tough one to master.
“...We make as
big a deal over
a good block
as we do a
touchdown.”
The truth about the National Guard
will blow you away:
Pete Cordelli
“The key, of course, is intensity,”
Cordelli says. “But another big key is
knowing the proper angle to take to the
defender so that you don’t clip. It doesn’t
matter how hard or fast you go if you don’t
take the proper angle.
“Let’s say a play is going away from
you, the receiver. You should step first
with your inside foot, the one towards the
football, at a 45-degree angle, and work up
the field. What you want to do is put your
body between the defender and the ball.
It’s just like playing defense in basketball.
You’re not asking somebody to go out and
kill the defender. It’s a shield sort of block.
“And you must work on the upfield
shoulder. What do I mean? Let’s say you’re
the receiver and your right hand is to the
ball. The shoulder you have to work with is
your right shoulder, the one to the ball. If
you blocked him with your left shoulder,
you’d be knocking him into the play. ■
“One thing Coach (Lou) Holtz always
emphasizes is that the hole runs from the
line to the goal line. Whether the goal line
is 99 yards or 12 yards away, as soon as
the back breaks the line, he heads straight
to the goal line. That allows the receiver to
know the proper blocking angle to take.
“Now there comes a point where a cut by
the running back is involved. The advan
tage the defender has is that he can see
where the runner is going. If they’re in
zone coverage—if they’re in man coverage
it’s no problem because you simply run
him off—you teach the blocker to react to
the defender’s eyes. The defender will look
right through the blocker to the runner, and
those eyes will tell you where he’s headed.”
Practicing downfield blocking is difficult
and risky. When asked how Tennessee
goes about it, Fulmer answered: “Carefully.
Too many times you get a guy’s shoulder
hurt if you’re not careful.
“We used to do the old Burma Road cut
drill, hash mark to hash mark. But we’re
more careful now. How? Well, I don’t

want to give away any secrets.”
Says Cordelli: “We work from a frame of
mind that if you’re in a proper football
position—staying low, under pads, have a
good base—you cannot be injured. Sure,
we used dummies for a lot of our practices,
but there are days when we go live.”
Cordelli says past success has helped
build a pride factor about blocking among
his receivers.
“Remember Tim Brown?” Cordelli says.
“He was a great, great blocker. I can’t tell
you how many big plays he sprung for us.
Another guy we have right now. Rocket
Ismail, is a great blocker. He hit a guy last
year right under the chin, and our entire
sideline heard it.
“That sort of thing disrupts a defensive
back’s concentration. And anything we can
do to take away from his concentration, we
want to do it. Be in his face. Knock that
sucker down.”
We live next door to you.
We work with you. We teach your children. Build your
homes. Pilot and maintain commercial airlines. Even repair
your automobiles.
We’re from all walks of life. And while we’re really no
different from you, something very important sets us apart.
We’re America’s citizen-soldiers. Dedicated to coming to
your aid at a moment’s notice. To protect your home. And
defend our homeland. Yet, most Americans are unaware of just
how many ways they depend on us.
On the frontline in Operation Desert Storm. On the frontline
in the War on Drugs. On the frontline in local and state emergen
cies. On the frontline in nation-building efforts around the world.
The Guard is there, defending the National interest, protecting
our citizens and adding value to our states and nation.
The truth is that almost half the Army’s combat units
belong to the Army National Guard. You’ll find us using the
latest technology and equipment. From state of the art artillery
units in Desert Storm to engineering and medical units helping
our international neighbors.
And the Air National Guard? Today, we’re a major
contributor in all Air Force missions. From frontline fighter
aircraft, medical evacuation and engineering units, to tactical
and strategic airlift, and aerial refueling aircraft. We were
airborne in the first hours of Desert Shield and Desert Storm.
We face other enemies, too. Fighting alongside the U.S.
Border Patrol and U.S. Customs Service, we help keep millions
of dollars worth of illegal drugs from ever reaching our children.
The National Guard was formed to protect our colonies
over 350 years ago. Close to 186,000 Guardsmen were killed
or wounded overseas during World War n. Almost the same
number were called to action during the Korean War. In Vietnam,
Guardsmen received over 1,700 medals for bravery. In Operation
Desert Storm, 72,000 Guardsmen were called to duty with over
40,000 serving in the Gulf.
Unlike other branches of the Armed Forces, the National
Guard’s charge is two-fold. Times of disaster, strife and need
find the National Guard always ready to lend a hand—whether
it’s halfway around the world or right in our own backyard.
The National Guard is the finest men and women of your
hometovm. We’re skilled. Capable. Intelli
gent. We’re Americans at their best.
And that’s the truth.
Americans At Their Best.

TOUCHDOWN ILLUSTRATED
Knox College hadn’t defeated Monmouth
in 10 years when the two renewed their
battle for the comically-named, yet highlycoveted, Bronze Turkey Trophy in
November, 1976. In a rivalry as intense as
this central Illinois classic, a decade-long
victory drought can lead to some pretty
heavy abuse. The two schools are 15 miles
apart, so staying clear of enemy slings and
arrows during the off-season is nearly
impossible.
\^en Monmouth recovered a Knox fum
ble on the opening kickoff, Knox faithful
probably started plotting ways to lay low
for another year. But senior free safety
Rodney Swan averted tragedy when he
made a spectacular leaping interception to
thwart the Monmouth drive. There was still
hope for happiness during the next year.
Swan’s play revived the Siwash, who
ended their frustration with a '31-28 win.
But when he tried to join in the wild cele
bration, Swan found that hi^' leg wouldn’t
allow it. He had landed hard after that early
interception, and exulting—not to mention
walking—had become difficult.
“He came up to me and said, ‘Coach, I
think I’m going to need some help,”’ said
Knox Athletic Director Harley Knosher,
then the school’s defensive backfield
coach. “I couldn’t understand what he
meant, because he had played so well.
“But after we got him off the field, we
found that he had played the whole game
with a broken leg suffered on the intercep
tion.”
For small colleges throughout the coun
try, the heroics of Rodney Swan and the
like comprise the fabric of spirited rivalries
with colorful histories and valiant efforts
of every kind.
The whole country may tune in to see
Michigan
Ohio State play for a bowl
berth and national ranking, but only the
residents of Galesburg and Monmouth get
worked into a froth about the annual
Bronze Turkey game. Ditto for other sto
ried rivalries like Wabash-DePauw or
Lehigh-Lafayette. The annual blue blood
letting between Yale and Harvard attracts a
somewhat wider audience, due mostly to
large alumni bases and the schools’ roles in
the history of college football.
All four rivalries have the components of
their more fabled Division I-A counter
parts—tradition, anecdotes, campus
hijinks, heroes, goats, brags and boasts,
winners and losers—without the hype or
dollar signs. The games are played by non
scholarship student-athletes for pride and
accomplishment, not bowl revenues and
professional contracts. And while no
national networks vie for the broadcast
rights to these annual battles, their spirit
and intensity are equal to that of rivalries

on any other level.
“The intensity of the game between
Wabash and DePauw caught me by sur
prise,” admitted Tommy Mont, former
coach and athletic director at DePauw and
a former head coach at the University of
Maryland. “As the game progressed, I
began to realize that this is what college
football is meant to be.
“The people playing love the game.
There is no incentive for them other than
desire.”
THE BRONZE TURKEY
For two consecutive seasons during the
1960s, Knox and Monmouth both appeared
on Look magazine’s weekly college foot
ball “Bottom Ten” ranking of the nation’s
worst teams. The first year, Knox whipped
Monmouth. The next, Monmouth defeated
Knox.
“It was bad enough being on the list,”
Knosher said. “But if you could beat
Monmouth, everything was okay. If you
lost, it was unbearable.”
Throughout the 101 years of the battle for
the Bronze Turkey, the Division 111 teams
have experienced the unbearable and the
unbelievable. Monmouth’s 19-14 win in
1990 gave it a 46-45-10 advantage, its
first-ever lead in the series. Knox won the
inaugural game in 1884, 22-4.
The game used to be played on
Thanksgiving (it is now played in early
November)—thus the genesis of the
Bronze Turkey prize. In 1928, a Knox
player named Bill Collins decided the
game should be played for some award—a
la Big Ten prizes like the Old Oaken
Bucket or Little Brown Jug. He persuaded
two local newspapers to contribute $40
apiece and bought the trophy from a local
jeweler. That year, Monmouth won the ini
tial battle for the bird, 2-0.
Since that time, the Bronze Turkey has
been the target of several pranks and thefts.
In late 1942, the gobbler disappeared from
the Monmouth trophy case and wasn’t
returned until 1947. Legend has it that the
bird had been buried in the basement of the
school’s gymnasium.
In 1965, two Knox students, posing as
journalists from a Peoria paper, asked that
the trophy be removed from its case at
Monmouth so that they could photograph it
without glare. When no one was looking,
the “reporters” dashed off with the prize.
“I don’t think the rivalry is as bitter as it
was in my day,” said Bobby Woll, who
played at Monmouth from 1931-33 and
was the school’s athletic director for 25
years. “When I was A.D., we had to stand
guard to make sure they wouldn’t burn a
‘K’ into our field.”
127 GAMES AND COUNTING: Lehigh and Lafayette have been battling it out
since 1884.
Monmouth named its football field after
Woll, the school’s famous “Mighty Mite”
who helped the Scots to a 30-6 win in 1933
with an 87-yard touchdown run.
The 129-pound Woll would not have
been able to run wild had he played in
1972. That year, Knox came to Monmouth
with a fleet team but found the Scots’ field
a quagmire, despite no rain having fallen in
days. The larger Scots prevailed, 7-6, and
Knox supporters were irate.
“Their coach told us that the guy in
charge of watering the field fell asleep,”
Knosher recalled with a chuckle.
You can tell Knosher respects Monmouth
for its “strategy” in that game. He realizes
incidents like that preserve the tradition of
such a storied rivalry.
“We get kids pretty fired up around here
for a Knox-Monmouth golf match,” he
said.
And they’re not even playing for a
turkey.
FAMILIARITY
BREEDS RESPECT
During the usual, pre-Super Bowl massmedia circus in 1982, a reporter stuck a
microphone in the face of Cincinnati
Bengals’ wide receiver Steve Kreider and
asked his opinion of the world’s biggest
football game.
“It’s not Lehigh-Lafayette, but it will
do,” Kreider said.
There are older and even more-storied
rivalries, but no two teams have played as
often as Lehigh University and Lafayette
College. The two schools, located in the
neighboring northeast Pennsylvania towns
of Bethlehem (Lehigh) and Easton, have
played 126jtfiries since their initial contest
in 1884, tHfanks in part to multiple meet
ings during the game’s early years.
Lafayette won the opener, 50-0, while
Lehigh took last season’s contest, 35-14,
closing Lafayette’s series lead to 69-52-5.
The two schools share similar education
al missions and joined the Patriot League
because of its commitment to the Ivy ideal
of academics first. Yet even the stodgiest
bookworms find it easy to get excited
about the big game.
“Everything builds toward the game,”
said Joe Whritenour, who served as sports
information director at Lehigh from 196584. “The coaches are judged by their per
formance in that game. It’s a second,
one-game season, and it’s a long time until
next year, especially if you have to keep
explaining why you got licked.”
Like any spirited rivalry, LehighLafayette has had its share of pranks and
practical jokes.
In the early 1980s, some students from
Lafayette sneaked into Lehigh’s Taylor
Stadium three weeks prior to the game and

used a weed killer to spell out a vulgar
phrase on the field. The grass died two
days before kickoff, revealing the message.
“That called for some quick mowing and
coloring,” Whritenour said.
In the 1930s and ’40s, Lafayette had a
live leopard on campus as a mascot that
was a frequent target of would-be Lehigh
thieves. Another time, two Lafayette stu
dents slept in a van outside the field where
Lehigh’s pre-game bonfire was to be held
and lit the blaze a day ahead of schedule.
These days, guards are posted on both
campuses during game week to protect
against pranksters. Those unfortunate
enough to be caught in the act generally
get an impromptu trip to the barber.
The off-field shenanigans are generally
overshadowed by the games themselves.
The 1940 Lafayette team entered the sea
son-ending matchup with the Engineers
undefeated, and Leopard coach Hook
Mylin was afraid his team may be overcon
fident. It took one half of play to allay his
fears.
“We got out to a 33-0 halftime lead, and
Hook came in and said, ‘What can I say?”’
said James T. Farrell, a halfback on that
team. “We ended up winning 46-0.”
The 1977 Lehigh team won the Division
II national title and got some unexpected
support.
“Lafayette was rooting for us throughout
the playoffs,” Whritenour said. “It’s an
intense rivalry, but both teams respect each
other.”
“It’s not LehighLafayette, but it

Greencastle campus. DePauw students
refer to their Wabash rivals as “Cavemen,”
while Wabash men respond with cries of
“Sissies” to the Dannies, as DePauw stu
dents are known.
“Wabash likes to play up its image as
cavemen,” said former DePauw coach and
A.D. Tommy Mont. “But the truth is that
some of the co-eds from DePauw date
Wabash men.”
Mont’s role in the history of the DePauwWabash clash is clearly defined. He is as
revered for his decision to leave Division I
Maryland for the serenity and charm of
Division III life as he is for his 13-5 record
against Wabash. His legend is enhanced by
his actions in 1960, his second year at
DePauw and the first year the two-point con
version was instituted in NCAA football.
The Dannies scored a last-minute touch
down to pull within 13-12 of their archri
vals, and Mont had to decide whether to try
for two points and the win or one and a tie.
He chose to accept the consensus. He
asked the DePauw crowd. They screamed
“Go!” He did, and DePauw won, 14-13.
“We tried to downplay the rivalry when I
was coaching and try to make it as relaxed
as possible for the kids the week before the
game,” Mont said. “One of the things we
did in the summer was get ready for
Wabash, so when the week of the game
came, we had our basic game plan in
already.”
It’s never too early to start planning for
the big game.
THE GAME
Yale Coach T.A.D. Davis stood before
his players in mid-1920s and told them,
“Gentlemen, you are about to play football
for Yale against Harvard. Never in your
lives will you do something so important.”
To some Yalies, that is not hyperbole.
Among football rivalries on any level,
none can match the history and legacy of
Harvard-Yale.
Harvard is not even Yale’s longest-stand
ing opponent. That distinction goes to
Princeton, which has played the Bulldogs
since 1873, the NCAA’s oldest current
rivalry. Together, those three schools domi-

Wabash College Athletic Director Max
Servies cranked up his calculator last win
ter and came up with a remarkable statistic.
In the 124 years Wabash has played
DePauw University in athletic events of
every kind, a scant one game separated the
two teams.
Heading into the spring 1991 season,
Wabash led its heated rival 325-324-14.
“This is the greatest rivalry in Division
III,” said Servies, who’s not at all biased
by his 31 years as a coach and A.D. at
Wabash. “The intensity in the general
rivalry in academics and athletics is
tremendous.”
DePauw leads on the football field, 4544-8, thanks to a 20-13 win last season, its
fourth straight over Wabash. The win
meant DePauw maintained custody of the
coveted Monon Bell trophy, a 350-pound
railroad bell donated by the Monon

nated college football during its formidable
years. And though today’s Harvard-Yale
games have little significance in the tem
poral gridiron world—thanks to the
schools’ move to Division I-AA—each
time the game is renewed, football is a lit
tle richer.
“The nature of the game hasn’t really
changed,’’ said Vic Gatto, a Harvard half
back from 1966-68 and now the finance
director of the Massachusetts Republican
Party. “It was then and continues to be a
really good barometer of what it means to
play amateur football.”
In Gatto’s senior season, 1968, the two
teams entered the game undefeated and
played what is possibly the most exciting
game in the entire, 115-year series (Yale
leads, 58-41-8). Gatto helped lift the
Crimson from a 29-13 deficit to a 29-29 tie
in the game’s final 42 seconds, prompting
the Harvard Crimson to run a headline
reading, “Harvard beats Yale, 29-29.”
“About 50,000 people filled Harvard
Stadium for that game, but because things
were so discouraging after three-and-a-half

quarters, most of them had left to beat the
Boston traffic,” Gatto said. “Of course,
about 250,000 now say they were there at
the end.”
Yale’s quarterback that day was Brian
Dowling, since immortalized in the comic
strip “Doonesbury” as the helmeted “B.D.”
He remembers the frustration of watching
from the sidelines as Harvard came back
from the big deficit, yet he understands the
rally’s significance in the rivalry’s storied
history.
“The Game brings together two of the
oldest and most reputable universities in
the country,” Dowling said. “And the sig
nificance of the rivalry doesn’t hit you
until after you’ve played. What happened
in the final game when Vic and I played
just adds to it.”
So do the extracurricular activities sur

over the country to participate in some of
the country’s most elaborate tailgating par
ties. “I’m sure all sorts of deals are rrlade,
stocks exchanged and real estate sold out
side the stadiums,” Gatto said.
Students from MIT even get involved in
the fun. Last year, a balloon came out of
the ground and floated across the field at
Harvard Stadium with a message about
MIT.
“The two teams have a totally different
perspective on football,” said Gatto. “It’s a
good one.”

The final score was 222-0; 63-0 after the
first quarter, but George Allen,
Cumberland University’s coach, hardly
noticed. He was too busy trying to keep his
players on the field to face the behemoths
from Georgia Tech. Two players had
already deserted, only to be discovered
when a frightened halfback ran off the field
to avoid an army of Tech tacklers. Not
feeling safe enough just being out of
bounds, he jumped the fence surrounding
the field and landed in the laps of his
AWOL teammates.
Another Cumberland player refused to
leave the safety of the Georgia Tech bench.
When Coach Allen looked down at his
own bench, his players quickly grabbed a
limb and grimaced in pain. Allen even
thought about putting himself into the
game, but he didn’t work up the courage
until the third quarter, when he went in as a
punter. His kick was deadly accurate, strik
ing his own center squarely in the back of
the head.
The year was 1916, the date was October 7,
and the event was the most absurdly lopsided
game ever played in college football. Its gen
esis is difficult to pinpoint. Maybe it was
when in 1904, when John Heisman, the inno
vative and celebrated college coach, was
lured away from Clemson to Georgia Tech.

Maryland and a frequent contributor to
sports publications.

Heisman was happy with the powerhouse
he had built at Clemson and even the bloat
ed salary of $3,000 could not entice him to
go farther south. But a little research did.
Georgia Tech’s search committee discov
ered that the dictatorial coach was a frustrat
ed Shakespearean actor. Though he was
given to occasional outbursts of “Block, you
flaming jackasses,’’ he more often pleaded
with his players to “Block with courage and
determination so we shall win the day.”
When the coach was asked if he knew
that Atlanta had the best theaters in the
South, he replied with something like,
“Gentlemen, where shall I affix my signa
ture so that I may serve you faithfully as
your football coach?”
Heisman’s theatrics did not stop with his
language. A year earlier, on the day before
Clemson played Georgia Tech, he sent
ahead an out-of-shape group of students to
masquerade as the football team. The wel
coming committee in Atlanta directed
them to nearby saloons where the “play
ers” stayed most of the night. The next day,
the Georgia Tech team was confident of
beating their hung over opponents until the
real players, whom Heisman had
TOUCHDOWN ILLUSTRATED
sequestered in^a hotel outside of Atlanta,
ran out to meet them. In the stands were
the bleary-eyed stand-ins, the school’s
cheerleading squad. Clemson won 73-0.
Predictably, Heisman brought Georgia
Tech to national prominence while introduc
ing the center snap, the command of “hike,”
a scoreboard, formations that resemble
today’s T and I, and the hidden ball trick.
But a national championship eluded him
because the polls were based principally on
points scored. Heisman thought it ridiculous,
but if Heisman was anything, he was practi
cal. Consequently, the 1916 game with
Cumberland University, a small school (now
a college) in Lebanon, Tennessee, whose
football glory days were 10 years past. The
deal was clinched with a $500 guarantee, or,
as it would turn out, just over $2 a point.
And Allen, a law student fascinated by
coaching sports, but not participating in
them, was greedy. Though Cumberland
had dropped football the year before, he
was determined to resurrect the sport with
the battle cry of “Remember $500.”
Like Heisman, Allen had a theatrical incli

But therein lies the “Theysaid-it-couldn’t-be-done” stolyline. For Yale, led by Calvin

That’s when a second-string
Harvard quarterback named
Frank Champi decided to
show the crowd that it was he

After attempting two “Hail

Champi surprised everyone
and called a trap, which

there was time for only one

studies show that using it at the first signs of hair loss gives
you the best chance that it will grow hair for you.
What are the early warning signs oi losing hair?
Everyone loses a little hair. Fifty to 80 hairs a day is
normal. If you’re losing more than 100 hairs a day without
normal replacement, the first sign will often be thinning of the
“crown” at the top of your scalp. See your doctor when you
first notice it, because this small bald spot can grow larger
over time.

tests conducted by dermatologists at
27 medical centers nationwide, vir

ROGAINE Topical Solution, discovered and made by The Upjohn Company, is a standardized topical (for use only on the skin)
prescription medication proved effective for the long-term treatment ot male pattern baldness of the crown.
ROGAINE is the only topical solution ot minoxidil. Minoxidil In tablet form has been used since 1980 to lower blood pressure.
The use of minoxidil tablets is limited to treatment of patients with severe high blood pressure. When a high enough dosage in
tablet form is used to lower blood pressure, certain effects that merit your attention may occur. These eftects appear to be dose
related.
Persons who use ROGAINE Topical Solution have a low level ot absorption ot minoxidil, much lower than that of persons
being freafed with minoxidil tablets for high blood pressure. Therefore, the likelihood that a person using ROGAINE Topical
Solution will develop the effects associated with minoxidil tablets is very small. In fact, none of these effects has been directly
attributed to ROGAINE in clinical studies.

Studies have shown that the response to treatment with ROGAINE may vary widely.
Some men receiving ROGAINE may see faster results than others: others may respond with a slower rate of hair growth. Ybu

If you have very little hair and respond to treatment, your first hair growth may be soft, downy, colorless hair that is barely
visible. After further treatment the new hair should be the same color and thickness as the other hair on your scalp. It you start
with substantial hair, the new hair should be of the same color and thickness as the rest of your hair.

If you respond to treatment, you will need to continue using ROGAINE to maintain or

Although serious side effects have not been attributed to ROGAINE in clinical studies, there is a possibility that they could
occur because the active ingredient in ROGAINE Topical Solution is the same as in minoxidil tablels.
Minoxidil tablels are used to treat high blood pressure. Minoxidil tablels Iqwer blood pressure by relaxing the arteries, an
effect called vasodilation. VOsodilation leads to retention ot fluid and increased heart rale. The following effects have occurred
in some patients taking minoxidil tablels for high blood pressure:
Increased hear! rate—some patients have reported that their resting heart rale increased by more than 20 beats per minute:
Rapid weight gain of more than S pounds or swelling (edema) of the face, hands, ankles, or stomach area: Difficulty in
breathing, especially when lying down, a result of an increase in body fluids or fluid around the heart: worsening ol, or new
onset of, angina peeforis.
When ROGAINE Topical Solution is used on normal skin, very little minoxidil is absorbed and the possible effects attributed
to minoxidil tablets are not expected with the use of ROGAINE. If, however, you experience any of the possible side effects
listed, discontinue use of ROGAINE and consult your doctor. Presumably, such effects would be most likely If greater
absorption occurred, e.g., because ROGAINE was used on damaged or inflamed skin or in greater than recommended
amounts.
In animal studies, minoxidil, in doses higher than would be obtained Irom topical use In people, has caused important heart
structure damage. This kind of damage has not been seen in humans given minoxidil tablets for high blood pressure at effective
doses.

Individuals with known or suspected underlying coronary artery disease or the presence of or predisposition to heart failure
would be at particular risk if sysfemic effects (that is. increased heart rate or fluid retenfion) of minoxidil were to occur.
Physicians, and patients with these kinds of underlying diseases, should be conscious of the potential risk of treatment it they
choose to use ROGAINE.
ROGAINE should be applied only to the scalp and should not be used on other parts ot the body, because absorption of
minoxidil may be increased and the risk of side effects may become greater. You should not use ROGAINE if your scalp becomes
irritated or is sunburned, and you should not use it along with other topical treatment medication on your scalp.

knowing about it. So he formed a choir, which sang badly off key
until the administrators went home. Then the singers dropped their
songbooks and headed for the practice field. Allen’s ruse worked well
enough, but his coaching expertise was limited. Cumberland’s first
game against Sewanee was a warm-up for Georgia Tech in an unex
pected way. The Bullddgs lost 107-0.
Many of Allen’s recruits promptly quit. Some people, it seemed,
just couldn’t appreciate the value of $500. But a lot of people could
appreciate $3,000. A few weeks before the scheduled game with
Georgia Tech, a Cumberland law student dug up a contract signed
by the former coach—back when his school had a legitimate
team—which required Cumberland to pay Georgia Tech $3,000 if
it forfeited. The nascent law school might be the first fiscal casual
ty if the small college was set back by that amount of money.
“Good God,’’ the law school dean said, “you students get out
there and play!”
Unprepared and overconfident, 24 Cumberland students left by
train on October 6 to meet one of the best college teams in the
country. Allen arranged for a stop in Nashville in an unsuccessful
attempt to persuade Vanderbilt’s coach to lend him a few players.
When he returned to the train, all of his players were gone; Most of
them were at a nearby bar. However, three made the wis6 decision
to abandon ship entirely.
Would Allen have felt guilty using Vanderbilt players? Not at all.
As the baseball coach the previous spring, he suited up professional
players from Nashville to deal with Georgia Tech’s powerful squad.
The Cumberland players sat in the stands and watched themselves
become heroes while Georgia Tech got thrashed 22-0. The opposing
coach, John Heisman, was not amused.
So the cast of characters for college football’s biggest laugher
was set. On one side was a highly disciplined Georgia Tech team
with a coach steaming over the previous spring’s humiliation and
livid with the sports writers’ polls. On the other side was a hapless
bunch of coerced players from a school that was not even supposed
to have a football team.
“The only way to look at it is as a comedy,” says Bob Keys, an
independent producer who started filming a movie about the game
in Vancouver last spring. By today’s standards of college football
competition, it certainly was a joke, but neither Heisman nor his
players were laughing.
Yet a few minutes into the game, most of the 1,000 spectators at
Tech’s Grant Field were. The Cumberland players gave them no
choice. First downs, what were they? Cumberland never made one
and Georgia Tech never needed to. Jo pile up 63 points in the first
quarter, the Yellow Jackets couldn’t waste the time.
Graciously, Georgia Tech elected to kick off despite winning the
pre-game toss. After all, what difference would it make? Within a
minute, Cumberland received the ball, gained nothing, had their
first string quarterback knocked cold for the first of three times,
fumbled, punted, and gave up two touchdowns.
On the sidelines. Coach Allen was pleading with his players to
remember the Bulldog pride, or at least the $500. But his strategy
didn’t match his enthusiasm. After Tech’s fourth touchdown, he
decided to kick off (the rules allowed the scored upon team the
option of kicking or receiving) in order to put Tech deep in its own
territory. However, a Tech player returned the kickoff 70 yards,
which led to a touchdown on the next play.
But Allen was slow to catch on. Once again he had his players kick
off and the results were predictable. And in the second quarter, Allen
outdid himself. Behind 70-0, the Bulldogs were facing a third down
with only one yard to gain for a first down. At that point, a first down
would have brought the crowd to its feet. Instead, it remained seated
and laughed unashamedly. Allen ordered his troops to punt.
With the game sewn up so early, the Tech players decided to pro
vide a little humor of their own. Canty Alexander, a senior tackle
who had never scored a touchdown, was shifted to halfback when

offense had
little trouble
getting past
Cumberland’s
‘down linemen.’
Tech had the ball on Cumberland’s 1-yard line. The Tech players
knew they could score at will, so to make Alexander earn his
honor, they dropped to the ground when the ball was snapped. Not
to be outdone, the Cumberland players joined their opponents on
the ground. Alexander trotted into the end zone untouched.
But don’t get the impression that the Cumberland Bulldogs did not
know how to hit. A second quarter play corrects that notion. While
one Bulldog was running to avoid tacklers, another was running to
avoid any possibility of having to block. Allegedly, the collision
produced an echo that could be heard all the way back in Tennessee.
During the halftime intermission. Coach Allen mapped out the
only sensible strategy for a team down 126-0: He asked Heisman to
shorten the last two quarters. Heisman agreed to go from 15 min
utes to 12 minutes, but he was suspicious. He told his players not to
let up.
“You never know what those Cumberland players have up their
sleeves,” he said. “ So, in the second half, hit ’em clean and hit ’em
hard.”
For the most part, his players obeyed. Wary of a comeback, they
piled on 54 points in the third quarter and 42 points in the fourth.
In a game where the remarkable was routine, three incidents
stand out. Unbelievably, two Georgia Tech players were injured.
The first was kicker Jim Preas. His golden toes were so overused
for kickoffs and extra points—18 in a row, an NCAA record—that
they spent the second half in an ice bucket. The other was an ankle
bite caused by a set of Bulldog teeth strong enough to cut through
shoe leather.
Cumberland’s major contribution to the ill-fated matchup was the
most memorable on-field, live-ball conversation ever in the annals
of football on any level. Late in the fourth quarter, with every
Cumberland player urging the clock forward. Bulldog halfback
Eddie Edwards fumbled and the ball rolled towards B.F. Paty, one
of several Cumberland players who would go on to a successful
career in law.
“Pick it up,” Edwards urged Paty. Paty thought about it for a
moment, but a phalanx of onrushing Tech beefs changed his mind.
“Pick it up yourself,” Paty shouted back. “You dropped it.”
Meanwhile, a Tech player took advantage of the argument and
recovered the ball.
When the clock mercifully ran out, Heisman walked across the
field with a $5(X) check to meet with Allen, who would live down
the disaster and become director of the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation and a Commissioner of the District of Columbia.
The Tech players were so untested that Heisman put them through an
intense scrimmage immediately after the game, which, by the way,
motivated the Cumberland refugee to return to his teammates.
Meanwhile, the Bulldogs got off the field as quickly as possible.
They were all looking forward to sp>ending their bounty while see
ing the sights of Atlanta—though through swollen eyes.

TIPS ON SHOOTING SPORTfi
Imagine this. There's less than two
minutes left in the game. Buffalo Bills
quarterback Jim Kelly goes into a no
huddle offense. He’s working out of the
shotgun, taking one-step drops and fir
ing 10-yard passes to star wide receiver
Andre Reed. The L.A. Raiders are
caught off balance. Kelly remains cool.
In just a few quick plays, the Bills have
marched 50 yards down the field, deep
into Raiders territory. The Raiders
defense has no time to get set.
And neither do you. Not if you’re the
photographer. With this kind of fast,
unpredictable action you’ve got to be
ready to catch it the instant it happens.
Today’s sophisticated SLR equipment
can get us into the game like never
before. Autofocusing lets us cover all
the angles, while fast film and fast
lenses offer more action-stopping
potential than ever. But now, there’s
even more. Another breakthrough in
photo history.
Just recently, the photographic com
pany that pioneered autofocusing in
SLR cameras introduced a camera that
operated in an entirely new way. With
the use of an intelligence system featur
ing fuzzy logic control, they created a
camera that actually thinks!
Programmed with the experience of
professional photographers, this revolu
tionary new decision-making 35mm
SLR can make up to a million calcula
tions per second and distinguish
between sports action, closeups, por
traits, landscapes, and even romantic
low-light scenes. All in the blink of an
eye. Since the camera thinks along with
you, it can react instantly to any situa
tion at any time.
This sophisticated new SLR can
respond to the most subtle changes in
movement, lighting or contrast within
the scene being photographed. It dis
cerns the main subject and sets the
best exposure program for that subject

and condition. Autofocusing is lightningfast, continuous, and omni-directional. It
tracks even quick, erratic subject move
ment in any direction with ease.
But what about the unpredictable?
Those split-second expressions, ges
tures, or moments that can be missed in
the time it takes to zoom the lens and
compose the shot. Two exclusjve new
features called eye-start operation and
autozoom provide the solution. When
you pick up the camera/and look
through the viewfinder, special sensors
in the grip and eyepiece activate all its
functions. So the camera is always
ready when you are.
And then an amazing thing happens.
The lens automatically zooms to com
pose your shot, and you don’t have to
touch a single button! The camera does
all the work. It instantly gives you an
ideal subject magnification, saving pre
cious seconds so you can capture that
once-in-a-lifetime shot.
This is the first of a new breed of SLR
cameras born for action. It gives you ulti
mate performance while keeping you in
the creative driver’s seat. With a unique
transparent graphic display viewfinder,
you can monitor camera functions and
select shutter-priority, aperture-priority,
expert program, or metered manual
exposure control.
And if you'want unlimited creative
potential^^check out today’s optional
SLR accfessories like the tiny software
cards that program the camera for spe
cialized functions. One such card tells
the camera to select the highest shutter
speeds possible—to freeze sports and
other fast action without a blur.
So, to catch fast sports action as fast
as it happens, tap into today’s advanced
technology. All you have to do is look
through the viewfinder, and the camera
does the rest. Just press the shutter but
ton when you want to take the picture.
And if the action gets really hot, hold that
shutter button down and the camera will
shoot high-speed action-stopping
sequences at four frames per second,
ALL IN PERFECT FOCUS.
Fuzzy logic control, eye-start opera
tion, autozoom, and camera software
cards. Incredible advancements in pho
tographic technology created for just
one purpose—to give you expert results
that were at one time limited only to pro
fessionals. Imagine what it can do for
you. Good luck and good shooting!

BY DAVID LEON MOORE
A boy named Mike grows up in Oregon
and decides the two things he values most
in his young life are his family and sports.
So, he sets his goal early and never wavers:
a college athletic scholarship, which will
further his dream of playing professional
sports and help out his family financially.
Many dream this dream, of course, and
some succeed. Like Mike, who becomes a
model student and a talented, multi-sport
athlete who attracts college recruiters and,
one day, is awarded a football scholarship
at UCLA.
Nothing particularly unusual about
Mike’s story. Nothing except the fact that
his given name is actually Huy Hung
Nguyen and he was born in Saigon in
1972, which makes Mike Nguyen (pro
nounced M7>j), an otherwise typical redshirt
freshman striving for playing time at a bigtime football power, the first person born
in Vietnam to play college football.
It also makes whatever difficulties he
might face on a football field this fall
against Stanford or USC trivial by compar
ison to what his family has already been
through.
“Everything I know about Vietnam is
second-hand,” he says in perfect English.
“I was very young, and I don’t really
remember. I know this, though. We’re real
ly lucky to be alive.”
Mike does not remember the dangers his

family faced in Vietnam. He wasn’t yet 3
years old when his mother carried him
through the chaotic streets of Saigon the
night of April 29, 1975, just hours before
North Vietnamese troops captured the city.
He doesn’t remember the nightmarish
scene at the South Vietnamese naval base,
where families fought each other, even shot
each other, for spots on a boat that would
carry them to God only knew where.
When the boat appeared ready to leave
Mike’s mother on the dock, his father, an
electrician in the South Vietnamese navy,
cut the ship’s power until Mike’s mother
could board. Left behind to face the wrath
of a vengeful enemy were Mike’s grand
parents and aunts and uncles, whom he has
never seen since.
“It’s been hard to have any contact with
them,” says Mike. “My mom sends letters,
but a lot of them don’t get through.”
Having escaped Saigon, the fam
ily—father Hung Nguyen, mother Hoang
Tran, Mike and his infant sister—headed
for the Philippines, then to Guam, then to
Camp Pendleton in California. Within a
year, they were sponsored for residency in
a small town in Oregon, where Hung was
employed as a gardener and Hoang as a
maid. Their total compensation: $150 a
month and use of a one-bedroom house.
But when Hoang became pregnant, the
family was kicked out of the house and
ended up in Roseburg, Ore., aided by a
Lutheran minister who sought donations
for them and helped them find a house.
“Our living conditions were very, very
difficult,” says Mike’s mother, Hoang. “We
had difficulty learning English, and my
husband and I both went to school, which
meant we didn’t have as much time with
the kids as we wanted.”
Their goal was to blend in. They had no

choice.
Mike remembers little of that period.
As he grew up, he began hearing stories
of who he was and where he came from.
The details would fade from memory until,
one night, the story would be retold, and it
was like a new story all over again.
“My mom doesn’t always remember
what she’s told me,” he says. “It seems like
sometimes I’ll hear a new story, and I’ll be
shocked.”
Like the story about his father, before
Mike was born, riding in a jeep with three
other sailors and striking a land mine. His
father was the only one who survived the
explosion.
“I’ve never been back to Vietnam,” says
Mike. “Someday, I’d like to. But growing
up, I didn’t feel Vietnamese, really. I didn’t
know anything about the war. I was
becoming very Americanized. You have to
be, whether you want to or not, because of
the interaction with the other kids. You
have to fit in.”
What Mike remembers, mostly, is sports.
“I started when I was 8 years old,” says
Mike. “A friend of mine at school was on a
baseball team. I’d go watch his practices. I
never really had any intention of playing,
but one day they were short a man. I went
in, and I guess I liked it. From there, I
started playing baseball.”
One thing led to another, and pretty soon
young Mike was excelling in just about
everything: baseball, football, basketball,
track.
Meanwhile, Mike’s father had earned his
electrician’s license and the family had
moved to Portland, with the American
dream clearly in sight.
Then, in 1982, his father was seriously
injured in a motorcycle accident. For two
and a half years, he was paralyzed, unable
to move or speak, and he died in 1985 at
age 39.
Says Mike: “It was really hard, something
you can’t explain unless you go through it.
I was at an age that I just wanted to know
why. It was a really sad time, something we
all had to deal with. I knew that I had to go
see him, yet I dreaded it, and then I felt bad
for not wanting to see him.”
After her husband’s death, Hoang started
her own business, helping southeast Asian
refugees with a wide range of services,
such as taxes, language skills and referrals.
She also now owns an Oriental gift and
flower shop.
“She’s very independent,” says Mike.
“She had to be.”
Despite the demands of her business and
coping with being a single parent in an
adopted country, her children blossomed.
All three, Mike and daughters Susan and
Melissa, have excelled in the classroom.
Mike left Portland’s Franklin High School
as one of four recipients of the school’s out
standing citizenship award, and his 3.9 GPA
placed him in the National Honor Society.
On Franklin’s playing fields, Mike was
similarly special. He routinely set records
and won honors. He lettered in baseball,
basketball and track, but it was in football,^
where he was a team captain for three*
years, that he attracted the most attention.
As a senior wide receiver and defensive
back, he caught 53 passes for 745 yards
and 10 touchdowns, and intercepted four
passes. He was first team All-State and on
various All-America lists.
“His concentration and his motivation
were just incredible,” says his football
coach, Frank Geske.
At 6-2, 180, he is unusually tall for a
Vietnamese man. His father was 5-9. His
mother, barely 5 feet, says there are tall
men in the family back in Vietnam. Says
Mike: “It’s really strange. 1 have stretch
marks on my body for no reason. On my
shoulders and on my back. I really don’t
know how I got so tall.”
He is playing wide receiver at UCLA,
where he figures to see plenty of action
with quarterback Tommy Maddox direct
ing offensive coordinator Homer Smith’s
wide-open attack.
Although Mike was a good enough cen
ter fielder to attract some baseball scouts,
football was always his first choice.
“Football was the most exciting of all the
sports I played,” says Mike. “The feeling
you get playing a football game doesn’t
compare to anything. It’s kind of hard to
explain. It just seems there’s so much more
work that goes into it, and it’s a lot more
rewarding.”
And they give you a free education if
you’re good enough at it. For a boy who,
when his family was struggling financially,
promised his mother he was going to get a
college scholarship, that meant a lot.
“He’s my son, and I’m proud of him no
matter what he accomplishes, but 1 have to
say that he has been like a dream come true
for me,” says Hoang, who recently remar
ried.
Not that she doesn’t get a kick out of
Mike’s sports.
“At first, she didn’t really know much
about football,” says Mike. “She used to
think it was just a whole bunch of people
out there just beating each other up for the
ball. But the last couple of years, she
doesn’t miss a game. She really loves foot
ball now, and she understands it. It’s gotten
to the point where if I’m not around or not
playing in a game and there’s a game on
TV, she’ll sit down and watch it. It think
that’s really neat.”
Mike has very few feelings about
America’s involvement in Vietnam or of
the war. In that sense, he’s not too different
Nguyen is expected to see plenty
of action this season at UCLA
after redshirting in his freshman year.
from most Americans of his generation.
“Most of the people 1 interact with are
my age,” he says. “They were the same age
I was when the war was going on. They
really don’t comprehend it as much as
older people would.”
He sometimes sees discrimination
against Vietnamese, though, “and that real
ly ticks me off. Most people who discrimi
nate don’t really understand that for most
of the Vietnamese people that are in this
country, it wasn’t their idea to come here.
The communists took over...”
As he
growing up, he didn’t delve
into the rAany books and movies about
Vietnam. He didn’t see Platoon or
Apocalypse Now.
But he understands the attention he’ll
receive as the first Vietnamese-born col
lege football player.
“It’s something that people bring up a
lot,” he says. “It’s strange, because the way
1 see myself is just like any other football
player. I don’t see myself as different.”
His mother does.
“I’m very proud that he’s the first,” she
saysr“We live in America now. What Mike
has accomplished, it’s not only helped him,
but all of us in the Asian community.”
She points out that, the stereotype notwith
standing, not all Vietnamese refugees are
mathematical geniuses headed for Harvard
or Cal Tech. Some have gravitated toward
street gangs for a sense of identity.
“We’ve had some problems with Asian
children and gotten a lot of bad publicity,”
she says. “Hopefully, Mike can help show
people that there are Asians who work very
hard to get somewhere. He wanted to get a
scholarship and play sports, he worked
hard and he’s accomplished his goals.” *■*

produced a more unbelievable long dis
tance ending than the one that
occurred at Cal-Berkeley’s Memorial
Stadium on Nov. 20,1982.
Actually, fans got two fantastic finish
es for the price of one.
Stanford quarterback John Elway had
just directed a thrilling 87-yard scoring
drive—including a successful fourth-and17 pass play—to set up a Mark Harmon
field goal with :04 remaining.
TTie kick seemingly lifted the Cardinal
to a 20-19 win over its Pac-10 rival.
Dramatic? Sure. On most days,
enough to warrant small headlines
across the country’s sports sections.
By the end of this game, the contest
was destined for the network news, and a
place in college football history.
Stanford, in an attempt to secure a
triumph, opted for a squibbed kick.
Bear cornerback Kevin Moen fielded
the ball at the Cal 44, and advanced
three yards.
He then pitched backward—although
Stanford faithful insist forward—across
the field to cornerback Richard
Rodgers, who forged ahead a couple of
yards before lateraling to running back
Dwight Garner, who was at the Cal 43.
Garner ran to midfield, where he was
met by four Cardinal defenders. In the pro
cess of going down. Garner pitched the ball
back to Rodgers, who was at the Bear 47.
That’s when the fun really began.
The Stanford band, thinking that
Garner had been tackled, marched onto
the field to celebrate the Cardinal win.
Rodgers, meanwhile, took the ball to
the Stanford 45, from where he pitched
back a yard to vride receiver Mariet Ford,
who ran to the Stanford 25.
About to be hit by three defenders.
Ford heaved the ball over his head... and
the pigskin landed in the hands of Moen,
who scampered 25 yards down the right
side of field—and through the band, level
ling a trombone player as he crossed the
goal line.
But was it a Cal victory? Was it a
Stanford victory? Would they run the
play over?
The officials huddled near midfield
before ruling: ‘Touchdown!”
Other aspects of the five-lateral play
have been talked about since:
• There was a penalty flag—but it was
against Stanford, so the penalty was
declined.
• Replays showed California didn’t
have enough players on the front line
for the play.
• With the exception of Ford, all the
Bear ball carriers on the final play had
practiced lateral plays as members of
the Cal rugby team.
Try to equal that, Hollywood!

never will change?
Don’t be so sure.
BY JACK CLARY
Back in 1923, Stanford All-America
Ernie Nevers needed two hands
to hold the portly pigskin.
What is the one thing that makes football
such a unique game?... You guessed it, the
football.
Or more specifically, the fact that some
wise old rule-makers back in 1896 ruled
that the football must be a “prolate
spheroid.” And a “prolate spheroid” it has
been ever since—the one being used in
today’s game being the great, great grand
son of what came off their drawing board;
and like all great, great grand-progeny, it is
slightly different in appearance and better
built to fit the times.
Those bewhiskered gridiron legislators of
1896 couldn’t have realized the eventual
impact of their geometric ruling, but the
selection of a “prolate spheroid” really
gave the game its most distinctive feature
because of what can occur every time the
football hits the ground and begins to
bounce around. Unlike sports played with
round balls where bounces are truer, when
a football is loose, it can go in a lot of
crazy directions—and so can a game—
before someone finally gets a grip on it.
Just as important in a tactical sense, they
also started an inevitable process whereby
some of the “foot” eventually was taken
out of football, paving the way for a ball
capable of being gripped with one hand
and thrown to all parts of the field with
amazing accuracy.
Let’s face it, for young American ath
letes, life is just one ball after another,
most of them round—baseballs, basket
balls, soccer balls, volleyballs. Only in
football, however, must they master some
thing completely different. It wasn’t
always that way. The first official intercol
legiate game, played between Rutgers and
Princeton in 1869, really was an English

football— meaning soccer—game because
the ball was a round soccer ball of that
time.
American football didn’t change until
the rugby team from McGill University in
Montreal ventured to Boston a few years
later and played Harvard. The Harvards
liked the running and contact of the rugby
game and began to popularize it at colleges
throughout the East. Since Harvard led the
way for all innovations in the sport at that
time, the American game of football began
to take a different form—and so did its
ball.
The “prolate spheroid” shaped ball had
been used for five years before it was offi
cially sanctioned by the rule-makers in
1896, but it still looked more like a mis
shapen basketjball than the recognizable
football of/today. Spalding’s Official
Guide thabyear advertised it as “officially
adopted by the intercollegiate Foot Ball
Association for 1896... the fifth year of its
adoption. . .and the only football used in
match games between the large colleges.”
It sold for $5, including a “polished brass
football inflator.”
In 70 years, there has been just a quarterinch difference in the end-to-end circum
ference and just 3/4 to 1 3/4 of an inch at
its middle. In 1982, the Rules Committee
decreed that the colleges adopt their own
“official” ball in the dimensions just
described, maintaining “a pebbled sur
face” and its weight of “slightly less than a
pound.”
Unlike professional football where the
NFL’s ball is made by just one manufactur
er and its dimensions do not vary, the col
lege’s football is manufactured by several
firms as long as its dimensions fall within
the stipulated measurements. Each team
can use the ball of its choice whenever it is
on offense. Thus, two different brands of
footballs often are used in a game.

Oakland Athletics, introduced a new type
of football in 1990, that the football has
undergone any startling change. Finley,
you may recall, once proposed that major
league baseball use an orange fluorescent
ball to make it easier to follow, and he
made a similar proposal for a fluorescent
hockey puck when he owned a team in the
National Hockey League. That caused the
venerable Lords of Baseball and Hockey to
recoil in horror at the mere suggestion that
they change something.
Finley developed what he calls the
“Double Grip” football—a ball whose sur
face, while still “pebbled,” is different than
other footballs because there are no bumps.
Instead, the ball’s cover really is turned
inside out and those “bumps” have become
dimples, much like the cratered surface of
a golf ball. The idea resulted when Finley’s
dream of becoming a quarterback in high
school failed because he couldn’t hold the
ball. Instead, he became a guard, depriving
himself of what he always believed he
could do best—tell his team what to do.
Still, he never gave up the idea of devel
oping a ball that might be easier for other
young players to grasp, and a couple of
years ago his idea came alive in the form
of a new football, which was presented for
the NCAA’s Football Rules Committee
approval.
His real targets were the high schools
where other young “Charley Finleys” were
experiencing the same difficulties.
However, when he encountered Bo
Schembechler, president of the Detroit
Tigers and former Michigan athletic director
and head coach, at the 1990 Major League
All-Star game, he talked of its merits.
Schembechler was intrigued and suggested
that Finley send several of them to John
Falk, the Wolverines equipment manager.
Falk gave them to coach Gary Moeller
and quarterback Elvis Grbac, who also
liked it. The Wolverines were set to use it
in their 1990 season-opening game against
Notre Dame, but they didn’t get approval
until mid-season, against Illinois.
“We were struggling a bit at that time,
but Gary decided to let Grbac use it since
he liked it so much,” Falk said. “It was
somewhat of a courageous decision but it
worked because we began to win and
wound up with a victory in the Gator
Bowl.”
Falk then told friends who were equip
ment managers at the University of
Washington and the Air Force Academy
whose teams also used the ball. This sea
son, more teams will use the ball, which is
manufactured by both Wilson and
Rawlings, the two major suppliers of foot
balls.
“There is a difference,” said Falk,
“because with other balls, we had to
unpack them, wet them down, rub them up
and treat them often with a leather condi
tioner. With the Double Grips, we just
unpack them and give them a little condi
tioner and they’re ready to go. The grip is
the key because they are not as slippery
and don’t need the constant treatment.
“I don’t see any big difference between
dimples and bumps,” Falk added, “nor do
they seem to fly farther, faster or with
greater accuracy. But our quarterbacks like
them, and they started to win when we
used them.”
“Quarterbacks are like kickers some
times,” noted Dave Nelson, the secretary
of the NCAA Rules Committee. “They get
their minds set on something and you can’t
budge them. If a quarterback says a ball
feels better, and you don’t allow him to use
it, suddenly his passes start flying all over
the place because he just doesn’t feel com
fortable. It’s mostly mental but any smart
coach tries anything within reason that will
make his quarterback perform better.”
The key to this new ball is in the manu
facturing process, which is a specialized
craft regardless of the type of ball. It
begins with four pieces of cowhide (forget
the pigskin deal; that was centuries ago
when “soccer” players tired of kicking
hard skulls and switched instead to the
bladders of pigs and cows), each of which
is lined to give the ball its shape. Two
pieces are sewn together and those two are
sewn to another two, something that takes
up to a half year to learn, two years to
become an expert. Valve-type bladders are
then inserted. For the non-Double Grips,
the bladders are inserted after the ball is
turned inside out in a process developed in
the mid-1920s whereby a worker sticks
one end of the football on a steel bar and
tugs down. He does it with the other end
until the leather is on the outside.
The ball is then pre-laced with heavy
linen thread and cold-molded by being
inflated up to 80 pounds of pressure to
stretch out the linings and leather, straight
en out the seams and catch any potential
problems. They are then partially deflated
and laced on the top. The process ends
with some rough and fine buffing to bring
the natural tackiness of the leather to the
surface.
What happens then is up to those who
use the ball of their choice—which is fre
quently unpredictable. What more could
you ask of a “prolate spheroid?”

ball fever is heating up in Bolivar, Mo.,
and the Bearcats are the reason why. Last
year. Baptist advanced to the Division II
quarterfinals before bowing out of the tour
nament, and despite losing five players
from last year’s squad, the cupboard is
anything but bare for the ‘Cats this season.
Key returning players are 6-4 forward
Glenn Stanley, who averaged 14 ppg and
7.4 rpg during last season’s 29-3 run, and
Brad Johnson, a 6-6 guard/forward who
should improve on his nine ppg average,
especially if he fires up more treys, which
he hit 44 percent of the time last season.
Adding more fuel to the optimistic fires
is the arrival of Darrell Barnett, a 6-1 trans
fer from Temple; Hensley Parks, a 6-7 for
ward from Kilgore (Texas) Junior College
who played his high school ball at wellrespected Dunbar High in Baltimore, Md.;
and Brent Blevins, a 6-2 guard from
Forsyth, Mo., High.
Cal State Bakersfield: Two years ago,
the Roadrunners finished second in the
Division II tourney; last season, they fin
ished fourth. Will Cal State break that very
slight spiral and return to the title game?
Chances are good that the Roadrunners
will “beep-beep” their way at least to the
Final Four—and perhaps to a champi
onship.
One point is virtually certain: Coach Pat
Douglass’ team will make its eighth con
secutive trip to the NCAA Division II tour
ney. Yes, gone is Ray Burris, who averaged
10.6 ppg a year ago and departs as the
team’s best-ever free-throw shooter. But
returning is senior Beau Redstone, who set
a record for best field-goal shooting per
centage (65.2) and is on track to become
the team’s most prolific rebounder. With a

year of experience under his belt, sopho
more Kenny Warren, whose 54 treys last
year set yet another mark for the college,
should improve on his 11.1 ppg average.
His 138 assists of a year ago, when com
bined with the passing prowess of his backcourt mate, Fred Eckles (130 assists), gives
the Roadrunners a dynamic guard tandem.
And Russ Jarvis, the team’s leading scorer
last year (14.2 ppg) will be expected to pro
duce more offensively this year.
Douglass brings a 96-32 mark at Cal State
Bakersfield into the ‘91-’92 campaign.
Most certainly, he’ll get his 100th win as
the Roadrunner coach—and, quite possibly
a return trip to the championship game.
University of North Alabama: Only
two starters return from coach Gary
Elliott’s Division II champions, but that’s
not really a consideration under the coach’s
system. During the team’s championship
season, six players averaged in double fig
ures, and, on any given night, virtually any
player was capable of stepping forward
and dominating a game. For example, in
Elite Eight play, three different players
each led the team in scoring in those three
final games of the season—with more than
30 points each time.
The most likely player to dominate this
year, however, is Tony Dorsey, who aver
aged 14.2 ppg and 7.8 rpg—both team
leading numbers—off the bench. He’ll be
helped by the presence of Ricky Johnson,
the 6-7 center who hauled in 7.1 rpg while
scoring at a 12.1 clip. Kevin Simmons, a 62 guard, averaged 12.6 ppg, and should
improve on that figure, as should Dorsey
and Johnson, this year.
Returning, too, are Eric Smith and
Darrell Hardy, both of whom played as
many minutes as did some of the starters.
So, the cupboard is anything but bare for
Elliott, who’s 65-23 in his three years as
coach of the Lions. Certainly, he has
enough returning talent to make a run at
the tourney again. Whether or not the
chemistry—or the depth—is there for a
successful title defense remains to be seen.
University of Bridgeport: Answer:
Lambert Shell. Question: Why do the
Knights have as good a shot as any other
team to win the Division II title?
A year ago. Shell was almost enough.
But Bridgeport lost the title game to North
Alabama, which has to consider the
Knights as something of a good-luck
charm in the Final Four: in 1979, the
Lions had to defeat Bridgeport in the semi
finals before winning the national title.
Shell returns—again—and is a shoo-in to
repeat as All-America. Last year, he was
named outstanding player of the Division
II tourney and, on the season, averaged
23.8 ppg. This season, with some addition
al help from his supporting cast. Shell may
be able to bring a Division II crown to
Connecticut, matching the feat of nearby
Sacred Heart University in 1987. One bad
omen for shell and his Knight teammates,
however, would be facing North Alabama
in the Final Four.
Shaw: Yes, this team is a longshot, but it
has two of the marquis players in Division
II returning for their senior years. Terry
McCoy averaged 23.7 ppg a year ago, and
there’s no reason to believe he’ll light up
the scoreboard for any less this year—par
ticularly when you figure in his four treys
made per game of a year ago. Also expect
ed to improve on already-gaudy statistics is
Curtis Reed, whose 10.8 rpg made him the
lOth-best rebounder in Division II.
Combine him with the division’s leading
rebounder a season ago, Shaw’s Sheldon
Owens (12.0 rpg), and you begin to realize
why this team may go places.
With players the caliber of Owens, Reed
(who last year hit two of every three shots
from the field) and McCoy, a team such as
Shaw can catch fire in a short-term situa
tion such as a tournament, and make a
legitimate run for an Elite Eight berth.
BEST OF THE REST
Slippery Rock returns Donald Burnett,
but loses four starters from last year’s Elite
Eight team. Still, Burnett is enough of a
talent to make the Rock a late-season con
tender... Chaminade earned headlines
years ago by upsetting Georgetown’s
Hoyas. This year, the team boasts the lead
ing returning Division II scorer in George
Gilmore (28.3 ppg) and may make waves
in Division II. Gilmore is also the leading
returning three-point shooter (along with
McCoy) in the Division. Last season, he
averaged four treys per game.
DIVISION III
Otterbein: The Cards led the division in
shooting last year with 59.3 percent accu
racy from the floor en route to a 30-3 mark
and a third-place finish in the country. Is
there a better season in the Cards this year?
Much of that depends on how well coach
Dick Reynolds (career: 335-179) replaces
all-everything Jim Bradley, who led
Otterbein in scoring (26.1) and rebounding
(5.3) during last year’s superlative season.
Four other seniors are lost from that team,
but the Cards are still well-stacked.
The best of the returnees includes Jerry
Dennis, a 6-1 guard who will most defi
nitely improve on his 13.8 ppg average of a
year ago, now that the long shadow of
Bradley is gone. It’s obvious he can shoot;
Dennis hit more than 60 percent of his
shots last year. Ditto for his backcourt mate
and fellow co-captain Larry Laisure, who
hit almost half of his three-point attempts

and whose 9.8 average will likely double.
Sophomore Nick Gutman didn’t start a
game last year but still averaged 10.5 ppg
and hit 40 percent of his three-point
attempts. This is another full deck for these
Cards in ‘91-’92.
Calvin College: For the past two sea
sons, the Knights have been a member of
the Division’s Elite Eight. Last season,
Calvin was denied a second straight trip to
the Final Four by Otterbein, which downed
the Knights, 75-73.
This season, however, Calvin may not be
content with just a third straight trip to the
Elite Eight. The only loss from last year’s
squad is guard Todd Hennink, who once
tied a Division III single-game record for
three-pointers, making 12 in just 14
attempts. But ready to pick up the slack is
Steve Hondqrd^ an extremely viable AllAmerica cqtiter candidate. Last season, the
6-7 Honderd hit 65.6 percent of his shots
from the field and was the team’s leading
scorer with a 20.6 ppg average. He again
should be the top rebounder for the
Knights, and is expected to improve on his
7.1 rpg of a season ago. He’ll be helped in
scoring and rebounding by Tom Broene, a
6-5 forward who hit half of his shots en
route to averaging 11.6 ppg and 3.6 rpg.
Also returning is Matt Harrison, a mercuri
al guard who holds the college record for
assists (185). He’ll be joined by Matt
Rottman, who hit half of his treys and
should pick up where the departed
Hennink left off.
Coach Ed Douma is a sterling 145-41 in
seven seasons with his alma mater. Don’t
expect this season’s mark to lower that
impressive winning percentage of
.780—and don’t be surprised if the Knights
are crowned kings of Division III.

Assistant Coaches
HOOP PREVIEW
Scott Browning - Secondary
Moving to the defensive side of the ball, from the offensive backfield, Scott
brings a wealth of coaching experience in his sixth year at the 'Boro. Under his guidance
the Scot defense has intercepted 56 passes the past three seasons. He has guided the for
tunes of Boro All-American Wade Smith and PSAC Rookie of the Year Mario Houston.
Scott came to Edinboro from Ohio State University, where he coached receivers
and runningbacks including Keith Byers. Prior to his start at OSU, Browning coached at
Worthington and Dayton-Fairview High Schools in Ohio, from 1979-81. Then, as a grad
uate assistant, he coached the defensive secondary at New Mexico State in 1982.
In 1983, he mentored the receivers at Idaho State University which advanced to
the Division I-AA playoffs.
Browning earned a master's degree in education administration from New Mexi
co State in 1983, and a BS in education from Ohio State in 1981. Earlier, before transfer
ring to OSU, Scott attended Capital University where he played football for one season.
Browning was a four-year letterman in four sports at Loudenville High School (OH)
prior to his collegiate days. Scott recently married the former Lynn Hook and resides in
Edinboro.
Dan Gierlak - Running Backs
Dan Gierlak enters his fifth season as a full-time coach with his responsibilities
concerning the running backs. He is also the head women's softball coach for the Scots
and led the squad to the PSAC playoffs in 1990.
Gierlak came to the 'Boro from Thiel College (Pa.) where he coached the defen
sive secondary for the 1984 season. Dan, a starter and three-year letterwinner for the
Plaid in the secondary, moved on to the semi-pro ranks with the Chicago Cowboys. Dur
ing his short stint with the Cowboys, Gierlak's squad gained national championship
honors in 1984 and runner up nationally in the 1985 season. Gierlak brings both playing
and coaching experience to the staff, giving the Scot players an added plus on the offen
sive side of the ball. As backfield coach, he has guided former Harlon Hill finalist Elbert
Cole and current Boro All-American Lester Frye.
Originally from Buffalo, New York, Dan graduated from Edinboro with a degree
in health and physical education. He and his wife, the former Amy Adams and new
born daughter, Alexandria Alicia, reside in Edinboro.
Mark Niswonger - Defensive Coordinator/Linebackers
Franklin & Marshall’s Will Lasky heads up the best backcourt in Division III.
XTf
game) of a team that went 28-3 and lost to
Wisconsin-Platteville, 81-74 in the finals
of the Division III tournament? The
favorite.
To further strengthen their claim as the
pre-season choice to win it all, the
Diplomats include among their returnees
two All-America selections in guards Chris
Finch and Will Lasky, arguably the best
backcourt in Division III. Lasky averaged
18.3 ppg and his colleague, Finch, 14.1,
while leading the team in rebounding (6.1).
Toss in the three-point shooting of Tom
Nicholson, who hit 47 percent of those
shots last year, and the scoring of Mark
Maggioncalda (13.8 ppg) and that’s all the
offense this team needs.
Ever-improving Dave Wilding is the
team’s 6-7 center who played superlatively
in the Final Four and made its all-tourna
ment team, setting a host of tourney shoot
ing records along the way.
Topping it all off is Glenn Robinson,
entering his 21st season as the F«&M coach,
with a career mark of 377-163. Robinson,
who has led his team to the tourney in 11
of the past 17 years, has never grabbed the
elusive brass ring. This year, his hand is
outstretched and the championship just
may be within his grasp.
University of Rochester: Last year, the
Yellowjackets came just a basket away
from earning a berth in the Division III
Final Four and the chance to defend the
national title they won in 1989-90. Such an
accomplishment may be a stretch this year,
but you have to remember this team is a
combined 50-12 over the past two seasons,
including an incredible 9-1 mark in post
tourney play. So, don’t put anything past
coach Mike Neer and his U of R squad. In
fact, in some ways, the ‘91-’92 season may
be easier for Neer. First of all, his team
won’t play 15 of its last 17 games away
from home, as the Yellowjackets did a year
ago. In fact, they may have as many as 17
home games this season.
Secondly, Chris Fite, the team’s 6-8 cen
ter, is bound to get better—-and he’s
already earned first team All-America hon
ors. Last year, he averaged 20.4 ppg, 10.2
rpg, shot 55.1 percent from the field and
was second on the team in assists with 114,
in blocks with 36 and in steals with 41.
Even though the Yellowjackets lose three
starters from last year’s squad, Fite’s
imposing presence in the middle will make
up for a host of shortcomings. He’ll be
helped by Michael Coleman, a 6-7 forward
who averaged 12.7 ppg and 7.3 rpg a year
ago, and who is the other returning starter.
The backcourt isn’t as unsettled as it may
appear at first blush. Jim Jordan, a junior,
should be fully recovered from anterior
cruciate ligament surgery and will improve
his under-three ppg average. Soph Kyle
Meeker will likely start at shooting guard,
and Neer will count on him to hit the trey
for the ‘Jackets this season.
Wisconsin-Platteville: Are the defend
ing Division III champs rebuilding or sim
ply reloading? Coach Bo Ryan loses six
seniors from last year’s 28-3 squad, but 10
players saw a ton of minutes last year, and
four of those players return.
That group is led by T.J. Van Wie, a 6-0
junior point guard who averaged 11 ppg
while hitting 51 percent of his shots from
the field. He also dished out five assists per
game and led the team in minutes
played—not an insignificant accomplish
ment under Ryan’s system, where two of
last year’s three leading scorers came off
the bench.
Van Wie will be joined at guard by fellow
veteran Carlton Jeter, a 6-2 senior who start
ed last year. The middle is deep with return
ing starter Brian Gilmore, a 6-5 senior, and
Mark Macomber, a 7-foot senior.
Additionally, Ryan has a corps of redshirt players who practiced against the
national champions all last season. That
experience—and the talent left over from
last year’s squad—just may be enough to
prompt the Pioneers to explore for another
title.
BEST OF THE REST
Hamilton posted a 26-1 mark last year,
and returns Mike Smith, who led the divi
sion with 16.1 rpg...Potsdam State is a
perennial power that may be ready to
threaten for the title again...Andre
Foreman, who topped all Division III scor
ers with a 31.5 ppg average, makes
Salisbury State a threat to win any ballgame. *■*
Mark Niswonger, a veteran of the coaching ranks for 18 years, begins his fourth
year with the Plaid as defensive coordinator and linebacker coach. Former imderstudy of
head coach Tom Hollman at Greenville High School, Mark brings extensive experience
both on and off the field to the Scot coaching staff. He has helped mold the Scot defense
into one of the toughest in the country over the past two years.
His coaching stint began back while attending Findlay when he was the head
scout for Arlington High School. His first job after college was as defensive coordinator
for Bryan High School (OH) where the team earned a 9-1 record. The next two seasons,
Niswonger was the defensive coordinator at West Carrollton High School (OH) where
his squad posted an impressive 17-1-2 slate.
After West Carrollton, he then returned to graduate school at Ball State Universi
ty where he helped coach the tight ends and offensive linemen.
From 1981-84, Niswonger was the head coach at Franklin City Schools and was
named "coach of the year" in 1982 when his squad won its first league championship in
18 years. He then moved on to the collegiate ranks in 1984 at Manchester College as
defensive coordinator and then back to his alma mater from 85-87 as their secondary
coach.
Niswonger's education includes an undergraduate degree in physical education
and political science from Findlay and a MA in physical education from Ball State. Mark
and his wife Patty and new-born daughter, Megan Marie, reside in Edinboro.

When Edinboro University packed its bags for Christmas
vacation a year ago, there were several questions left unan
swered. Could a struggling team with three early season road
losses compete in the PSAC? What the Scots did was more
than merely compete.
The Fighting Scots showed that a team with early set
backs could pull together. "Our guys did a great job of com
ing together," said third year coach Greg Walcavich. "They
never doubted each other. We came back in January and start
ed all over."
Walcavich's club may not be so fortunate this year to be
able to catch a second wind in January. This is due to a very
strong first half schedule that features Bloomsburg (last year's
top finisher in the PSAC East) along with two of the best
teams in the West Virginia Conference (Salem-Teikyo and
West Virginia Tech) in the Edinboro tournament. The road
will not get any easier for Walcavich's club. "We have a rigor
ous schedule," commented Walcavich. "We could have an
outstanding basketball team and not win 18 games. We may
be competing for a league playoff spot with a lackluster
record."
The Plaid finished the 1990-91 campaign at 18-10 overall
and 8-4 in the PSAC with no less than six league games
decided at the buzzer. "We won a number of close games (last
year)," Walcavich noted. "Out of twelve league games, six
were decided on the last shot. We hit four of them, we were
four shots away from being 4-8 or 10-2."
Edinboro will have some big shoes to fill in the '91-92
season. The Scots will be without the services of 6-5 forward
Sterling Washington, last year's leading scorer and rebounder
(17.1 ppg, 8.5 rpg); 5-11 guard Mark Murdock (12.6 ppg) and
6-8 power forward John Mohre (6.9 ppg), all due to gradua
tion. If those losses weren't tough enough for the Scots' men
tor, things got worse with the news that Sean Gibson, this
year's leading returning scorer at 14.4 ppg, will not return to
school.
Derek Walton, a 5-9 senior guard will be the nucleus to
build around in the backcourt for Walcavich. Walton aver
aged 12.6 points and 4.4 assists per game a year ago. "We will
certainly look forward to a good year from Derek," comment
ed Walcavich. "He did a real nice job for us last year."
The team leader for the 1991-92 campaign will be 6-5
senior forward Aaron Brown, the PSAC "Rookie of the Year"
in 1988-89 who averaged 9.7 points per game last year. Brown
will likely end his career on the top 15 all-time scorers list at
Edinboro. He needs just 194 points to reach the milestone.
"Aaron was here before me," noted Walcavich. "I anticipate
him being one of the best players we'll have this year, he'll
really do well."
Also returning from last year's squad are sophomore for
ward Torry Rollins, junior forward Sam Dickerson, junior
guard Greg Fox, and sophomore guards Ron Santiago and
Carlos Peterson.
Rollins played in 24 games for the Scots last year, aver
aged 5.3 points and 3.6 rebounds. He shot 49.6 percent from
the floor while making 72 percent of his free throws.
Dickerson played in 23 games, averaging 4.3 points and
2.5 rebounds per game last year as a sophomore, including 8
rebounds in a win at Lock Haven,
Santiago only averaged 2.5 points per game but did play
in 26 games last year as a freshman.
33
Fox played in 20 games last
year and connected on 8 of his
18 field goal attempts.
Newcomers for the upcom
ing year will include forwards
Keith Perry, Price Williams,
Marc Pope and Exavier Zolliooffer.
Perry, a 6-4 forward, aver
aged 22.5 points, 12 rebounds
and 2 blocks per game for
Wilbur Trosch at West Mifflin
High School. He scored over
1,200 points in his high school
career.
Williams is a 6-4,185 pound
junior college transfer from
Prince George's Community
College in the Washington, D.C.,
area and was a junior college
All-American on the nation's
number four ranked JC squad.
Pope, a 6-6, 205 pound
transfer from Cuyahoga Com
munity College, averaged 10
points and 11 rebounds per
game. He was a three-year letterman for Doc Daugherty at
Euclid High School, averaging
15 points and 10 rebounds per
outing.
Zollicoffer, a 6-3, 210 pound
sophomore, played at Canton
McKinley (OH) Senior High
School where he led his team to
a state championship with a 271 record.
Junior Simpson, a 6-9, 215
pound forward was a redshirt
last year and should see action
at the forward/center position.
Simpson gives the Scots a solid defensive performer on the
inside, something the squad has needed for years.
Adam Cheek, a 6-2 junior and Walter Reap, a 6-1 junior
are the newcomers at the guard spot.
Cheek averaged 12.5 points and 5.2 rebounds per game
at Ballard High School in Louisville, KY. He also dished out
2.5 assists and had 2.3 steals per game for the Bruins.
Reap is a transfer from Cuyahoga Community College
where he received All-Conference honors in both years. He is
from Atlanta, GA, and played under Coach Mark Osina at C.
E. Ellison High School in Texas, where he averaged 20 points
and 6 assists per game. He was named to the All-District and
All-Central Texas teams as a senior.
The Scots will begin their annual tournament in McComb
Fieldhouse on November 22. In this year's tournament the
Plaid will battle Bloomsburg, West \^rginia Tech and SalemTeikyo for the title.

Battle of Edinboro
On Thursday, November 7, the Fighting Scots did
battle with the Rolling Scots in a wheelchair football
game. The game was played as part of Disability
Awareness Week.
Both teams were psyched up for the game. The
Fighting Scots won the opening coin toss and elected to
receive the ball. They were held in check by the
tenacious defense of the Rolling Scots who have held
their opponents to just 23 points in 5 games. The first
score of the game came from a punt return for a
touchdown by the Rolling Scots. The Rolling Scots went
on to add 30 more points in their 37-0 win over their
able bodied counterparts. Jim Valvo led all scorers with
21 points and he also intercepted the Fighting Scots
twice. Ken Kisiel led the potent offense of the Rolling
Scots with 6 completions out of 9 attempts, 3
touchdowns, and only 1 interception.
Although the Fighting Scots didn't get on the
scoreboard, they started moving the ball toward the end
of the game. They should be commended for their heart
and sportsmanship that they displayed during the
game. And most of all, they should be applauded for
their participation which helped in making Disability
Awareness Week a big success.

What athletes fear most
is what we treat best

a sudden injury that puts you out
of action.
It’s what athletes fear most.
It’s what we treat best.
The staff at the Hamot Sports Medicine
Center is skilled in all aspects of
athletic care—from prevention and
treatment to rehabilitation.
We’re specialized in areas such as
orthopedics, rehabilitative surgery,
neurology and physical therapy.

you stay healthy; we even provide
certified trainers to athletic programs
of all types.
