The Game
9fe
The Scots main receiving weapons are Lateef Walters (39
receptions, 675 yds., 8 TDs), who has missed the past two games
with an ahkle injury and is still questionable, and Corey Keyes
(16, 432, 27.0 ypc, 3 TDs). Tight end Todd Henne (14, 153, 1 TD)
and Jackson (17,237) are also capable pass catchers.
Clarion answers with a high scoring attack featuring quar
terback Craig Ray, wide out Marlon Worthy and running backs
Steve Witte and Art Gregory. Ray has established a school record
with his 2,346 yards passing this season, connecting on 191 of 332
tries and 11 touchdowns. Worthy, also setting a school standard
for receptions, has grabbed 66 passes for 848 yards and five
scores. His 94.2 yards per game receiving mark is among the best
in the PSAC. Witte has scored 16 times, 11 on the ground and five
through the air, earning over 1,000 yards combined rushing and
receiving. Gregory, a three-year starter, has logged 475 yards on
the ground and six scores. Wide out Chris Skultety (36 catches,
488 yards) is also a threat.
Edinboro Uruversity's quest for its third consecutive NCAA
n playoff berth continues today as the Fighting Scots play host to
Clarion University in their 1994 regular season finale.

The Scots, 7-2 overall and 4-1 in the Pennsylvania State Ath
letic Conference Western Division, opened the year beating Hills
dale, 31-28, then dropped a decision to Mansfield, 31-26.
Consecutive wins followed against Elizabeth City, 28-0, Lock
Haven, 33-16, Shippensburg, 31-17, California, 67-6 and Slippery
Rock, 59-39, before a 21-7 loss to lUP. Last Saturday, the Scots
stormed American International, 65-25.
Clarion, a deceiving 3-6 and 1-4, dropped a tough sevenpoint decision to West Chester, 37-30, in its opener, then beat
Fairmont State, 29-19. A win over NAIA powerhouse Westmin
ster, 32-28, followed in week three, then a loss to Millersville, 4027. The Golden Eagles have dropped four of five recently,
downing Lock Haven 41-20, but have fallen in straight games to
Shippensburg, 31-21, California, 41-31, Slippery Rock, 34-31, and
lUP, 44-17.
The Defenses
Today marks a great test for a pair of defensive squads
which have improved greatly since the opener. Edinboro looks to
linebackers Michael Sims (team high 107 stops, 4 for loss, 1 INT,
1 forced fumble), Michael Edwards (92, 5 for loss, 1 INT, 2 recov
ery) and Rahshahn Alston (58, 1 INT, 6 deflections, one blocked
field goal) to make most of the plays on defense. Along the front,
the Boro features tackles Matt Gentile (40, 5 for loss and 2 sacks),
A1 Bass (23, 1 INT, 1 recovery) and Otha Davidson (18, 2 sacks,
one force) matched with ends Pat Schuster (52, 8 for loss, team
high 10 sacks, one recovery) and Bryan Lambert (64, 6 sacks, 3
for loss).
The Edinboro secondary is anchored by All-American safety
Steve Russell, the school's all-time interception leader with 19.
He has five picks in six games played in 1994, after not suiting
up until week four due to injury. Russell has also added 33 tack
les and four breakups. Keith Cushenberry (31, 1 INT), Jermaine
Carswell (16, team high 9 deflections), Marty Williams (56,1 INT,
6 deflections) and Ron Allen (41, 1 INT, 4 breakups, 1 recovery)
all see plenty of time in the Scot backfield.
Clarion, who held lUP in check in the first half, features
linebacker Clint Terza (99 stops, 4 sacks, 2 INTs) and free safety
Sean Spencer (92, 2 INTs, 3 breakups) in its defensive scheme.
Cornerback Eldridge Ponder leads the team with 13 passes
defended and has also registered 44 tackles, while safety Kim
Niedblal has a team leading three interceptions. Linebackers
Thomas Williams (87 hits) and Alim Kamara (team high 5 sacks)
are also solid, whereas end Brent Lehman (57, 8 for loss) leads
the charge across the interior.
The Series
The Golden Eagles hold a 33-29-2 edge over the Scots in a
series dating back to 1926. Edinboro has won the last six games,
including a 28-0 shutout on the road last season. The last Clarion
victory was 48-24 in 1987 at Memorial Stadium.
The Coaches
Edinboro features seventh-year coach Tom Hollman while
Clarion counters with first-year head coach, and former Edin
boro assistant (1981-83), Malen Luke. Hollman, the 1989 Kodak
East Region and PSAC Coach of the Year, boasts an impressive
52-21-2 mark including a 31-8-2 record in the PSAC West. His 11year collegiate mark of 76-32-3 includes a 24-11-1 stint at Woost
er, Ohio. He has led the Boro to four NCAA II playoff
appearances, including a quarterfinalist showing in 1990.
Malen Luke was hired as Clarion University's 10th head
football coach this past December, following the coaching retire
ment of long-time mentor Gene Sobolewski. Luke came to the
Golden Eagle program after a very successful run at Defiance
College, Ohio, where he led the Yellow Jackets to a 33-7 mark
over his final four seasons.
The Offenses
Edinboro features great balance with the legs of Larry Jackson and the arm of Jody Dickerson. Jackson recently became just
the third player in PSAC history to eclipse the 4,000 yard barrier
for a career. Currently with 4,114 rushing yards, Jackson contin
ues to lead the conference with his 1,537 yards on 250 carries and
14 touchdowns. He has gone over the 100 yard mark in 15 con
secutive games, while his 238 all-purpose yards per game stan
dard is second on the Division II level.
Dickerson, coming off a 278 yard effort in the win over AIC,
continues to rewrite the Edinboro record books. Starting since his
freshman campaign, Dickerson has established school records in
yards (7,145), touchdown passes (60), completions (471) and
attempts (889). In 1994, he has connected on 109 of 188 passes for
1,719 yards and 15 scores. Getting his 42nd career start today, he
has led the Scots to an overall slate of 30-10-1, including a pair of
NCAA playoff appearances. Fullbacks Chris Snyder (29 att., 136
yds., 4 TDs) and Saul Harrison (32,170, 7 TDs) split duties while,
up front, center Det Betti, guards Chadd Wallick and Chris Bar
ney and tackles Tom Lavis and Jeremy O'Day get the starting
call.
Kicking Game/Specialties
The Scots look to Scott Rupert (5-7 fg, L 32, 30-40 PATs, 16
punts, 37.8 ypp) to handle both kicking jobs while the Golden
Eagles answer with kicker Paul Cramer (9-17 fg, 24-25 PATs) and
punter Keith O'Connor (46 punts, 34.0 ypp).
Jackson (24.7 ypr) and Russell (26.0) are threats returning
kicks for the Scots while Clarion has Worthy back on kickoffs
(30.4) and punts (9.4). Russell and Keyes are deep on punts for
the Boro.
Turnover Ratio
The Boro has improved to +6 with the Scots losing nine fum
bles and throwing nine interceptions (-18), while recovering ten
enemy miscues and grabbing 14 interceptions (+24). Clarion has
lost 20 turnovers (11 fumbles, 9 INTs) while gaining 22 errors (13
recoveries, 9 INTs) to also stand on the plus side at +2.

Now in his fifteenth year as pres
ident of Edinboro University of Penn
sylvania, Foster F. Diebold is the
fourteenth chief executive officer of
the institution of higher learning that
has come to acclaim in the last
decade as one of Pennsylvania's and
the nation's finest. He has brought a
vigorous educational and moral lead
ership, a strengthening of the spirit of
community, a clear sense of direction
and purpose, and a dimension of
multicultural pluralism and diversity.
Alaska from 1977 to 1979. Before that,
he was executive secretary to the
Board of Regents and special assis
tant to the president of the University
of Alaska Statewide System. From
1969 to 1976, he was director of
Development and Planning at Kean
College in New Jersey and a member

Much has been accomplished
during President Diebold's tenure.
The University has returned to finan
cial health. Significant facilities and
grounds improvements have been
achieved, with several of the historic
structures on campus restored to
their original splendor. Academic
programs have been emphasized and
improved, with more than 100 degree
offerings now available. Enrollment
gains have been unprecedented in
both numbers and academic quality.

al other countries, and Edinboro Uni
versity's program for students with

colleges and universities in the Unit
ed States. Widely recognized as a
leader in education both here and
abroad. President Diebold has posi
tioned Edinboro University to meet
the challenges that will face public
higher education in the 21st century.
Recognized for his extensive
experience in the field of education
management. President Diebold's
scholarly achievements in the disci
pline of applied ethics in higher edu
cation deserve special mention. The
model statement he authored for the
American Association of State Col
leges and Universities, "Ethical Prac
tices for College Presidents," was
unanimously adopted by that profes
sional organization and published as
policy for the chief executives of its
nearly 400 member institutions
nationwide. It is the first formally
adopted ethical practices and policy
statement for higher education presi
dents.
The Orange, New Jersey, native is

ored by the Government of Pakistan
with the awarding of the degree of
Doctor of Laws (honoris causa), pre
sented at the Government House in
the City of Karachi. The ceremony
was attended by the presidents of the
several Pakistani universities holding
linkage agreements with Edinboro
University, as well as many highranking officials of the Government
7
Foster F. Diebold
of Pakistan and U.S. diplomatic offi
cials.
A staunch advocate of a
statewide system of public universi
ties in Pennsylvania, President
Diebold supported the enabling legis
lation for the State System of Higher
Education (Act 188 of 1982) and saw
the State System come to existence in
1983 as a member of the transition
team. He currently serves on the Sys
tem's Executive Council of Presidents
and on the boards of the Pennsylva
nia Academy for the Profession of
Teaching, the Pennsylvania State Ath
letic Conference, and the Dixon Uni
versity Center at Harrisburg.
President Diebold's stature in
American higher education has been
recognized by several high-level
appointments. He was named to the
National Committee on U.S.-China
Relations, the leading national orga
nization devoted to building con
structive relationships between the
two countries. He was also appointed
to the Leadership Council of the
Northeast-Midwest Institute, a
regional component of the Center for
Regional Policy, and to the Pennsyl
vania Humanities Council, the pri
vate, non-profit group promoting
statewide public understanding of
the humanities.
Edinboro Honors Nine Seniors Today
First and foremost, today's game
against Clarion University is quite signifi
cant to the Scots and their 1994 national
playoff aspirations.
What can't be overlooked though, is
the profound impact nine student-ath
letes, playing in their final game at Sox
Harrison Stadium, have had on the Scot
program since 1991. Over the span, this
group can boast about a pair of Division
II playoff appearances and a won/loss
mark of 30-11-1.
Among the participants recognized
today are Edinboro's all-time leaders in
yards rushing and passing and the
school's career interception leader. Not
ing that records and results date back to
the 1920s, these three players before you
today may be considered among Edin
boro's best ever. In addition to record
holding, All-Americans Larry Jackson
(RB), Jody Dickerson (QB) and Steve
Russell (FS), Otha Davidson (OT/DT),
Michael Edwards (LB), Jeff Macintosh
(WR), Scott Rupert (PK/P), Chris Snyder
(FB) and Lateef Walters (WR) will dis
play their skills before the partisan crowd
for the last time today.
Jackson,
the PSAC West
Player of the
Year in 1992,
recently
became just the
third player in
PSAC history
to eclipse the
4,000-yard bar
rier and cur
rently stands
with 4,114 career yards. Announced as
one of 23 players in the running for
national player of the year honors this
season, Jackson currently leads Division
II in yards per game rushing (170+) and
has totaled 40 rushing touchdowns.
Dickerson
has
started
every game
except
one
(Mansfield '94)
since 1991 and
is the Scots
record holder
in yards pass
ing
(7,145),
touchdowns (60), total offense (7,509) and
completions (470). With him under center,
Edinboro has won 17 of 24 games (17-6-1)
in the rugged PSAC Western Division.
Russell,
having already
earned
his
undergraduate
degree,
returned to the
program this
season to con
tinue his stellar
career. Entering
today's contest,
he has set the
Edinboro standard with 19 interceptions
including a team high five this season. He
was a first-team choice, along with Jackson and Dickerson, to the western divi
sion all-star squad a year ago.
Davidson,
currently along
the defensive
line, has been a
versatile line
man playing
offensive guard
and defensive
tackle. He has
been in on 18
tackles in 1994
and is tied for
third on the team with two quarterback
sacks.
Edwards, a
three-year
starter, is cur
rently second
on the team
with 92 tackles.
An all PSAC
West performer
a year ago, he is
the
school's
11th all-time
leading tackier
with 305 career
stops.
Macintosh
has turned in a
solid
1994,
catching six
passes for 76
yards and one
score.
His
touchdown
grab and 31yard reception
setting up the
go-ahead
touchdown, were very instrumental in
the 'Boro's wild win over the Rock.
Rupert,
ranked third on
the
all-time
kick scoring
charts with 169
points, is cur
rently third on
the team with
45 tallies on 5 of
7 field goals
and 30 extra
points.
The
1994 PSAC Player of the Year in baseball,
he set nine school records for the western
division champion Scots last spring.
Snyder,
from nearby
Seneca High,
has been the
starting full
back since 1993.
He is currently
third in yards
rushing (136)^
and
toucl^*
downs (4). He,
along with Saul
Harrison, has helped clear the way for
Division IPs top rusher this season.
Wa 1 ter s,
recovering from
an ankle injury,
is on pace to
establish
a
school record
for catches in a
season (50). He
currently owns
39 grabs for 675
yards and eight
scores. His 19.5
yard per catch mark is second best in
school history, following 1990 Harlon Hill
runner up Ernest Priester.

Scot Success in the Classroom
Under the direction of Tom Hollman,
the Scots have not only excelled on the
field but in the classroom.
Last year the football team had 28
different student-athletes earn semester
grade point averages over the 3.0 mark,
up one from a year ago. Furthermore, the
Scots also increased the number of play
ers who eclipsed the same standard on a
cumulative basis.
Among the 'Boro's standouts were
1994 graduates Scott Mikowicz and Dave
Ashton. Mikowicz displayed outstanding
work in the classroom, finishing his aca
demic career with an impressive 3.40
QPA. The height of his studies was exem
plified with his representation of Edin
boro University as an NCAA
post-graduate scholarship nominee. Also
the starting tight end on the football
team, Mikowicz caught 25 passes for 365
yards and four touchdowns. Ashton
earned honors as a national scholar-ath
lete and as a three-time Edinboro Univer
sity scholar-athlete, maintaining a 3.22
QPA during his four years at the 'Boro.
He was a starting wide receiver in 1993,
catching 26 passes for 334 yards and three
touchdowns.
Several 1993 graduates earned lau
rels on and off the field during their
careers at Edinboro. Sean Seibert and
Brian Heebsh were both recognized as
national scholar-athletes by College Foot
ball Preview magazine a year ago, while
All-Americans Georj Lewis and Mike
Barnes were nominated for NCAA
minority post-graduate scholarships.

Before the arrival of Tom Hollman in
1988, the Fighting Scots knew that their
football program needed a lift. What they
didn't know was that under Hollman's
direction, their lift would quickly become
a significant elevation.
Edinboro has taken its program to
national prominence, and in 1994 will
aim to reach the NCAA II playoffs for the
fifth time in the past six seasons. Last
year, the Scots earned their second
straight post-season appearance while
posting another eight-win (8-3) season.
With all three hard fought losses coming
at the hands of nationally-ranked oppo
nents, the Boro was strong enough to fin
ish the year ranked #14 among the
Division II elite.
This upcoming season should be a
good measure of just how successful the
Edinboro tradition has become. Gradua
tion took 11 starters, many of whom
spent multiple seasons at the top of the
depth chart. And while the good fortune
has been enjoyed, it has not gone unno
ticed. The Scots will have to carry on the
tradition without both former offensive
line coach Ed Stults, who assumed the
head coaching duties at Defiance College
(OH), and former defensive line
coach/recruiting coordinator Gene Smith,
who now works as an NFL BLESTO
scout.
The quest for a third straight post
season berth in 1994 will not be easy with
another rugged 10-game schedule. The
PSAC West slate is more balanced than
ever, while, furthermore, the Scots face
formidable non-conference foes in Hills
dale (MI), Elizabeth City and American
International, and Mansfield.
The Plaid will host five games and
play five on the road in 1994, including
the visitors role in two straight contests to
begin the year. In a strange twist of for
tunes, the Boro has been a terror away
from home the past two years. Since the
start of the 1992 campaign, Edinboro has
gone 10 straight regular season road
games without a loss while posting seven
wins and three setbacks at Sox Harrison
Stadium.

campaign in which he set single season
standards for yards (2,209), touchdowns
(25), and attempts (277). The Scots have
compiled an impressive 23-9-1, record
during his string of 33 consecutive starts.
Larry Jackson, one of the best tail
backs in Edinboro history, also returns for
his senior season. The 1992 PSAC West
Player of the Year returned from early
season injuries to amass 1,171 yards and
eight touchdowns in 1993. Jackson's 2,577
career rushing yards puts him within 823
yards of the Boro's all-time mark. Full
back Chris Snyder, both a tough runner
and punishing blocker, will solidify the
Plaid backfield.
When the Scots go to the air, they'll
look in the direction of wide out Lateef
Walters (23 receptions, 550 yds., 6 TDs)
who gives them plenty of big-play experi
ence.
Offensive Line
The Boro is strong up the middle,
with returning guards Det Betti and Jere
my O'Day. Betti may be asked to play
center to make room for either Chadd
Wallick or Otha Davidson, both of whom
have started in big games during their
careers. On the outside, they must some
how replace former All-PSAC tackles
Mike Kegarise and Tony Tighe. Todd
Herme caught four touchdowns last sea
son and could get the nod at tight end.
Defensive Line
With only one returnee from last
year's squad, ^e defensive front could be
a big question mark. All-Northeast
Region defensive end Pat Schuster looks
to duplicate a spectacular 1993 campaign
in which he had 76 stops and 11 sacks.
Playing opposite Schuster could be con
verted linebacker and special teams
standout Bryan Lambert (59 tackles).
The main concern is plugging up the
middle with the departure of All-Ameri
can tackle Russell Cray and linemate Rob
Harmer. Matt Gentile played well last
year when injuries put him into a starting
role. The other tackle spot will be up for
grabs when the fall practice sessions get
underway.
Skill Positions
Linebackers
Quarterback Jody Dickerson will
head the offense for the fourth straight
season. On pace to break several Edin
boro career passing records, the PSAC
West first-teamer, and honorable mention
All-American, returns after a stellar 1993
Michael Edwards will spearhead a
linebacking crew who all return as former
starters. The two year backer recorded
127 tackles and six break-ups en route to
a PSAC West Second Team selection a
11
year ago. Another great season from
Edwards could vault him into the Boro's
top ten in career tackles. Michael Sims, a
1993 redshirt, will be asked to fill the big
shoes of three-time All-American middle
linebacker Jason Perkins. Sims had an
impressive freshman season two years
ago in which he had 84 stops at one of the
outside positions. Rahshahn Alston will
be expected to round out an excellent core
of linebackers in 1994. Only a freshman
last year, Alston gained experience as a
starter, totaling 69 tackles from the out
side.
Secondary
The Boro returns three-fourths of a
defensive backfield that terrorized quar
terbacks for 22 interceptions last season.
All-American safety Steve Russell will
lead the talented unit. One of the best ath
letes on the team, Russell is a school
record holder with 14 interceptions. Last
season the All-American and PSAC West
first teamer stole seven aerials and regis
tered 68 tackles. Also feared for his hit
ting ability, Russell has forced six fumbles
over his stellar career.
Marty Williams and Rick Walker also
return after starting all eleven games last
season. Walker accounted for 46 tackles,
five break-ups, and one interception from
his free safety position while Williams, a
comerback, recorded 61 tackles, 10 break
ups, two interceptions and a blocked
pimt. Both returnees caused two fumbles
and recovered another in 1993. Corners
David Harris and Ron Allen both saw
action throughout the past season and are
expected to compete for more playing
time this year.
Specialties
Place-kicker Scott Rupert, a Boro
mainstay the past two years, returns to
handle the kicking chores for yet another
season. In 1993 Rupert set an Edinboro
single season record by connecting on 43
of 45 PAT tries. Five of his 11 field goal
attempts were also true, including a
career best 44 yarder.
The Boro will have a new punter in
1994 for the first time in four years due to
the graduation of All-American Gary
Lhotsky. The vacancy remains up for
grabs as camp starts in August.
Walters is likely to be the Scots' top
punt return threat while Russell averaged
over 24 yards per kickoff return last sea
son, including a 92-yarder for a score at
Slippery Rock.

a great season I

Head Coach Tom Hollman
In January 1988, Edinboro Uni
versity hired Tom Hollman, Athens,
Ohio, as its eleventh head football
coach in the school's history. Hollman
came to Edinboro from Ohio Univer
sity, where he was the defensive coor
dinator.
Hollman, beginning his seventh
year, has the Scot program back in
the national spotlight. At Edinboro,
he has earned 45 wins against just 19
losses and two ties and owns an
impressive 27-7-2 slate against the
PSAC Western Division. The Scots
have advanced to post-season play
four of the past five years.
Tom Hollman
In 1989, he was named the top
coach in the East Region by the
National Football Coaches Associa
tion and also tabbed the top coach in
the PSAC West. In 1990, he guided
the Scots to their first-ever NCAA II
playoff win as Edinboro routed Vir
ginia Union and advanced to the
national quarterfinals.
"Edinboro has been a great expe
rience, and I like the direction of the
program," Hollman said.
"As a coach, I have been fortu
nate to coach at many different levels,
from high school to Division I. The
Division II level here at Edinboro is
very appealing to me in relation to
my career goals. It is a great feeling to
be a head coach at this level."
Hollman's educational back
ground begins with a high school
diploma from Memorial High School
in St. Mary's, Ohio, followed by his
undergraduate degree in education
from Ohio Northern University in
1968. Three years later Hollman
received his master of science degree
in education from Xavier University
in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Tom Hollman
sive end during his junior and senior
years. He holds the school record
with 13 career interceptions and
earned All-American and All-District
honors during the 1966 and 1967 sea
sons. Hollman also lettered in base
ball for three years during his stay at
Ohio Northern.
A chronological look at Holl
man'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 impres
sive 26-2-2 mark during his threeyear stay.
Hollman then moved/on to Fre
mont 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 1974, unbeaten at 9-0-1.
In 1976, Hollman moved on to
the collegiate ranks where he was the
defensive coordinator for his alma
mater at Ohio Northern University.
The following year, Hollman
accepted the head coach position at
Wooster College (OH) and guided his
squad to tho'best four-year record in
the school history (24-11-1).
In 1981, Hollman took an assis
tant coaching spot with Ball State
University which he held through the
1984 campaign. Then, beginning in
1985 Hollman held the defensive
coordinator position at Ohio Univer
sity.
Tom resides in Edinboro with his
wife, Kandi, and four children, Mari,
Jon, Tim and Denise.
While at Ohio Northern, Holl
man was a three-year starter for the
football team and a two-year per
former as a defensive back and offen

The Hollman Era Continues 1988-1994
1994 Returning All-Americans
"I like the shape of our program. Our goal was to
establish a winning program and have fun in the pro
cess. I feel we have done that. We continue to improve
on the field and in the classroom - we want to contin
ue to bring a special type of student-athlete to Edinboro University. It is time to take the next step and
take our program to the elite level among Division II
schools. Each year, we feel that we can play with any
team in the country."

Moving to the offensive side of the
ball, from the defensive backfield, Scott
brings a wealth of coaching experience in
his ninth year at the 'Boro. Under his
guidance the Scot defense has intercepted
78 passes the past six seasons. He has
guided the fortunes of All-Americans
Steve Russell, Michael Willis, Wade
Smith, Georj Lewis, and Mike Barnes, and
PSAC Rookie of the Year Mario Houston.
Offensively, he coached former greats
Elbert Cole, Floyd Faulkner and Ross
Rankin.
Scott came to Edinboro from Ohio
State University, where he coached
receivers and running backs. Prior to his
start at OSU, Browning coached at Wor
thington and Dayton-Fairview high
schools in Ohio, from 1979-81. Then, as a
graduate assistant, he coached the defen
sive 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
Mexico State in 1983, and a BS in educa
tion from Ohio State in 1981. Earlier,
before transferring to OSU, Scott attended
Capital University where he played foot
ball for one season. Browning was a fouryear letterman in four sports at
Loudonville High School (OH) prior to
his collegiate days. Scott is married to the
former Lynn Hook, and has a son,
Andrew Scott. The Brownings reside in
Edinboro.
Dan Gierlak - Running Backs
Dan Gierlak enters his eighth season
as a full-time coach with his responsibili
ties concerning the running backs. He
was formerly 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 Cow
boys. During his short stint with the
Cowboys, Gierlak's squad gained nation
al championship honors in 1984 and run-
ner up nationally in the 1985 season. Gier
lak brings both playing and coaching
experience to the staff, giving the Scot
players an added plus on the offensive
side of the ball. As backfield coach, he has
guided former Harlon Hill finalist Elbert
Cole and Boro All-Americans Lester Frye
and Larry Jackson.
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,
three-year-old daughter, Alexandria Ali
cia, and 9-month-old son, Daniel "Joey"
Jr., reside in Edinboro.
Tony Elliott - Secondary
Hamot
Tony Elliott, a defensive back with
the Green Bay Packers from 1986-88,
begins his first season coaching the Fight
ing Scot secondary. His professional play
ing experience should be beneficial to an
already strong Edinboro secondary.
"Tony has a fine football mind, and has
been successful as a player and coach. He
comes strongly recommended from oth
ers in the profession and will be an excel
lent role model for our players," head
coach Tom Hollman said.
Elliott comes to Edinboro from
Wayne State (Michigan), where he served
as the defensive coordinator and sec
ondary coach last year. He started at WSU
in 1992 as defensive coordinator and
linebacker coach. He began his coaching
career at Alma College in 1990-91, before
coaching at Grand Valley University in
1991-92. His main duties at those two
schools were recruiting and teaching on
the defensive side of the ball.
Elliott is a graduate of Central Michi
gan University where he majored in
sports studies with a minor concentration
in interpersonal communications. He was
a four-year letterman for the Chippewas
of CMU. Originally from Detroit, Elliott
played at Finney High School from 197982 where he was an All-State performer.

Mark Niswonger, a veteran of the
coaching ranks for 21 years, begins his
seventh year with the Plaid as defensive
coordinator and linebacker coach. Former
understudy 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 most respected squads in the country
on the Division II level.
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 coordi
nator for Bryan High School (OH) where
the team earned a 9-1 record. The next
two seasons, Niswonger was the defen
sive 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
University 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 coor
dinator and then back to his alma mater
from 85-87 as their secondary coach.
Niswonger's education includes an
imdergraduate degree in physical educa
tion and political science from Findlay
and a MA in physical education from Ball
State. Mark and his wife Patty and threeyear-old daughter, Megan Marie, and
eighteen-month-old son, Joushua Jay,
reside in Edinboro.

Collegiate Athletic Association may confer on an individual. It
is presented annually to a distinguished citizen of national reputation
and outstanding accomplishment who has earned a varsity athletics
award in college. That individual must have shown continuing inter
est and concern for physical fitness and competitive sport, and exem
plified by personal example most clearly and forcefully the ideals
and purposes to which college athletics programs and amateur sports
competition are dedicated. The award is presented annually at the
honors dinner at the Association’s Convention.
The 1994 “Teddy” recipient and 28th honoree is businessman and
civic leader Rafer Johnson.
Johnson is president of Rafer Johnson Enterprises, which works
with companies that are involved with providing activities for youth.
In addition, he serves as the chairman of the board of directors for the
California Special Olympics.
He was on the board of directors of the Los Angeles Olympic
Organizing Committee (LAOOC) and a member of its 22-member
Executive Committee. Johnson was honored for his many athletics
achievements by being selected as the torch-bearer for the 1984
Summer Olympic Games.'
He currently serves on the board of directors of the Amateur
Foundation, the organization that distributes surplus money earned
by the LAOOC during the 1984 Olympics.
Johnson competed in two Olympic Games, winning a silver medal
in the decathlon at the 1956 Games in Melbourne, Australia, and a
gold medal at the 1960 Games in Rome. As a student-athlete at UCLA
in 1958, he was named Sportsman of the Year by Sports Illustrated and
also won recognition as North American athlete of the year.
In 1960, Johnson won the Sullivan Award, given to the outstand
ing amateur athlete in the United States. He also was named The
Associated Press male athlete of the year, and was the flag-bearer and
team captain for the 1960 U.S. Olympic Team.
Johnson has been involved with the President’s Council on
Physical Fitness, the President’s Commission on Olympic Sports, the
International Olympic Academy Committee of the United States
Olympic Committee, the Advisory Committee of the World’s Sport
Foundation and the athletics advisory panel for the Department of
State.
Johnson lettered in track and basketball while earning a bachelor
of arts degree in physical education from UCLA. He was the AAU
decathlon champion in 1956 and 1958 (the NCAA did not include the
decathlon in its championships until 1970).
Theodore Roosevelt, president of the United States from 19011909, for whom the award is named, sununed up the creed of ama
teur athletics this way:
“In the battle of life, it is not the critic who counts; not the man
who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of
deeds could have done better.
“The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose
face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly;
who errs and comes short again and again, because there is no effort
without shortcoming; who does actually strive to do the deeds; who
knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotion, spends himself in a
worthy cause; who at best knows in the end the triumph of high
achievement; and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring
greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid
souls who have tasted neither victory nor defeat.”

The state universities spent the
first 100 years of existence train
ing teachers for Pennsylvania's
schools. The Normal School Act
of 1857 established regional
teacher training institutions
throughout the Commonwealth.
The School Code of 1911 called
for the state purchase of all nor
mal schools, and by 1921 the pre
sent configuration of 14
state-owned universities was
established. The 14 normal
schools evolved from state nor
mal schools, to state teachers col
leges, to state colleges. On
November 12, 1982, Act 188 was
signed into law establishing on
July 1, 1993 the Pennsylvania
State System of Higher Educa
tion. Thus, the 13 former state
colleges joined with Indiana Uni
versity of Pennsylvania to
achieve university status. The
universities have a cumulative
history of 1,600 years.
/
Several study abroad programs
are available in System universi
ties.
/
All the universities support life
long learning programs through
out the academic year. Many
feature Elderhostel.
/
Most universities have honors
programs, student counseling
and career planning, cooperative
education, and internship pro
grams.
/
/
The universities in the State Sys
tem of Higher Education are fully
accredited by the Middle States
Association of Colleges and Sec
ondary Schools, the National
Council for Accreditation of
Teacher Education, and several
appropriate national professional
organizations.
/
System graduates living in the
Commonwealth number over
296,000.
There are 14 universities in the
State System of Higher Education
with four branch campuses and
the McKeever Environmental
Center.
The total student population
among the System universities is
95,000. While 89% of students are
from Pennsylvania, they repre
sent many other states and for
eign countries.
The total university campus has
over 4,000 acres in 19 Pennsylva
nia counties. Buildings for class
rooms,
residences,
administration and student sup
port number 719.
/
Collectively the 14 universities
offer 217 undergraduate and 107
graduate degree programs, led
by 5,500 full-time faculty mem
bers.
/
An average 75% of undergradu
ate students receive some form of
financial assistance to help meet
costs.
System library holdings total
more than 5.5 million volumes
and 13 million periodicals, micro
forms, and audio materials.

The Game
9fe
The Scots main receiving weapons are Lateef Walters (39
receptions, 675 yds., 8 TDs), who has missed the past two games
with an ahkle injury and is still questionable, and Corey Keyes
(16, 432, 27.0 ypc, 3 TDs). Tight end Todd Henne (14, 153, 1 TD)
and Jackson (17,237) are also capable pass catchers.
Clarion answers with a high scoring attack featuring quar
terback Craig Ray, wide out Marlon Worthy and running backs
Steve Witte and Art Gregory. Ray has established a school record
with his 2,346 yards passing this season, connecting on 191 of 332
tries and 11 touchdowns. Worthy, also setting a school standard
for receptions, has grabbed 66 passes for 848 yards and five
scores. His 94.2 yards per game receiving mark is among the best
in the PSAC. Witte has scored 16 times, 11 on the ground and five
through the air, earning over 1,000 yards combined rushing and
receiving. Gregory, a three-year starter, has logged 475 yards on
the ground and six scores. Wide out Chris Skultety (36 catches,
488 yards) is also a threat.
Edinboro Uruversity's quest for its third consecutive NCAA
n playoff berth continues today as the Fighting Scots play host to
Clarion University in their 1994 regular season finale.

The Scots, 7-2 overall and 4-1 in the Pennsylvania State Ath
letic Conference Western Division, opened the year beating Hills
dale, 31-28, then dropped a decision to Mansfield, 31-26.
Consecutive wins followed against Elizabeth City, 28-0, Lock
Haven, 33-16, Shippensburg, 31-17, California, 67-6 and Slippery
Rock, 59-39, before a 21-7 loss to lUP. Last Saturday, the Scots
stormed American International, 65-25.
Clarion, a deceiving 3-6 and 1-4, dropped a tough sevenpoint decision to West Chester, 37-30, in its opener, then beat
Fairmont State, 29-19. A win over NAIA powerhouse Westmin
ster, 32-28, followed in week three, then a loss to Millersville, 4027. The Golden Eagles have dropped four of five recently,
downing Lock Haven 41-20, but have fallen in straight games to
Shippensburg, 31-21, California, 41-31, Slippery Rock, 34-31, and
lUP, 44-17.
The Defenses
Today marks a great test for a pair of defensive squads
which have improved greatly since the opener. Edinboro looks to
linebackers Michael Sims (team high 107 stops, 4 for loss, 1 INT,
1 forced fumble), Michael Edwards (92, 5 for loss, 1 INT, 2 recov
ery) and Rahshahn Alston (58, 1 INT, 6 deflections, one blocked
field goal) to make most of the plays on defense. Along the front,
the Boro features tackles Matt Gentile (40, 5 for loss and 2 sacks),
A1 Bass (23, 1 INT, 1 recovery) and Otha Davidson (18, 2 sacks,
one force) matched with ends Pat Schuster (52, 8 for loss, team
high 10 sacks, one recovery) and Bryan Lambert (64, 6 sacks, 3
for loss).
The Edinboro secondary is anchored by All-American safety
Steve Russell, the school's all-time interception leader with 19.
He has five picks in six games played in 1994, after not suiting
up until week four due to injury. Russell has also added 33 tack
les and four breakups. Keith Cushenberry (31, 1 INT), Jermaine
Carswell (16, team high 9 deflections), Marty Williams (56,1 INT,
6 deflections) and Ron Allen (41, 1 INT, 4 breakups, 1 recovery)
all see plenty of time in the Scot backfield.
Clarion, who held lUP in check in the first half, features
linebacker Clint Terza (99 stops, 4 sacks, 2 INTs) and free safety
Sean Spencer (92, 2 INTs, 3 breakups) in its defensive scheme.
Cornerback Eldridge Ponder leads the team with 13 passes
defended and has also registered 44 tackles, while safety Kim
Niedblal has a team leading three interceptions. Linebackers
Thomas Williams (87 hits) and Alim Kamara (team high 5 sacks)
are also solid, whereas end Brent Lehman (57, 8 for loss) leads
the charge across the interior.
The Series
The Golden Eagles hold a 33-29-2 edge over the Scots in a
series dating back to 1926. Edinboro has won the last six games,
including a 28-0 shutout on the road last season. The last Clarion
victory was 48-24 in 1987 at Memorial Stadium.
The Coaches
Edinboro features seventh-year coach Tom Hollman while
Clarion counters with first-year head coach, and former Edin
boro assistant (1981-83), Malen Luke. Hollman, the 1989 Kodak
East Region and PSAC Coach of the Year, boasts an impressive
52-21-2 mark including a 31-8-2 record in the PSAC West. His 11year collegiate mark of 76-32-3 includes a 24-11-1 stint at Woost
er, Ohio. He has led the Boro to four NCAA II playoff
appearances, including a quarterfinalist showing in 1990.
Malen Luke was hired as Clarion University's 10th head
football coach this past December, following the coaching retire
ment of long-time mentor Gene Sobolewski. Luke came to the
Golden Eagle program after a very successful run at Defiance
College, Ohio, where he led the Yellow Jackets to a 33-7 mark
over his final four seasons.
The Offenses
Edinboro features great balance with the legs of Larry Jackson and the arm of Jody Dickerson. Jackson recently became just
the third player in PSAC history to eclipse the 4,000 yard barrier
for a career. Currently with 4,114 rushing yards, Jackson contin
ues to lead the conference with his 1,537 yards on 250 carries and
14 touchdowns. He has gone over the 100 yard mark in 15 con
secutive games, while his 238 all-purpose yards per game stan
dard is second on the Division II level.
Dickerson, coming off a 278 yard effort in the win over AIC,
continues to rewrite the Edinboro record books. Starting since his
freshman campaign, Dickerson has established school records in
yards (7,145), touchdown passes (60), completions (471) and
attempts (889). In 1994, he has connected on 109 of 188 passes for
1,719 yards and 15 scores. Getting his 42nd career start today, he
has led the Scots to an overall slate of 30-10-1, including a pair of
NCAA playoff appearances. Fullbacks Chris Snyder (29 att., 136
yds., 4 TDs) and Saul Harrison (32,170, 7 TDs) split duties while,
up front, center Det Betti, guards Chadd Wallick and Chris Bar
ney and tackles Tom Lavis and Jeremy O'Day get the starting
call.
Kicking Game/Specialties
The Scots look to Scott Rupert (5-7 fg, L 32, 30-40 PATs, 16
punts, 37.8 ypp) to handle both kicking jobs while the Golden
Eagles answer with kicker Paul Cramer (9-17 fg, 24-25 PATs) and
punter Keith O'Connor (46 punts, 34.0 ypp).
Jackson (24.7 ypr) and Russell (26.0) are threats returning
kicks for the Scots while Clarion has Worthy back on kickoffs
(30.4) and punts (9.4). Russell and Keyes are deep on punts for
the Boro.
Turnover Ratio
The Boro has improved to +6 with the Scots losing nine fum
bles and throwing nine interceptions (-18), while recovering ten
enemy miscues and grabbing 14 interceptions (+24). Clarion has
lost 20 turnovers (11 fumbles, 9 INTs) while gaining 22 errors (13
recoveries, 9 INTs) to also stand on the plus side at +2.

Now in his fifteenth year as pres
ident of Edinboro University of Penn
sylvania, Foster F. Diebold is the
fourteenth chief executive officer of
the institution of higher learning that
has come to acclaim in the last
decade as one of Pennsylvania's and
the nation's finest. He has brought a
vigorous educational and moral lead
ership, a strengthening of the spirit of
community, a clear sense of direction
and purpose, and a dimension of
multicultural pluralism and diversity.
Alaska from 1977 to 1979. Before that,
he was executive secretary to the
Board of Regents and special assis
tant to the president of the University
of Alaska Statewide System. From
1969 to 1976, he was director of
Development and Planning at Kean
College in New Jersey and a member
of the graduate faculty at that institu
tion; and from 1965 to 1969, he was
assistant superintendent of the Nep
tune Township (New Jersey) Public
Schools.
Much has been accomplished
during President Diebold's tenure.
The University has returned to finan
cial health. Significant facilities and
grounds improvements have been
achieved, with several of the historic
structures on campus restored to
their original splendor. Academic
programs have been emphasized and
improved, with more than 100 degree
offerings now available. Enrollment
gains have been unprecedented in
both numbers and academic quality.
International linkages have been
established with institutions in sever
al other countries, and Edinboro Uni
versity's program for students with
disabilities continues to garner
acclaim as one of the finest among all
colleges and universities in the Unit
ed States. Widely recognized as a
leader in education both here and
abroad. President Diebold has posi
tioned Edinboro University to meet
the challenges that will face public
higher education in the 21st century.
Recognized for his extensive
experience in the field of education
management. President Diebold's
scholarly achievements in the disci
pline of applied ethics in higher edu
cation deserve special mention. The
model statement he authored for the
American Association of State Col
leges and Universities, "Ethical Prac
tices for College Presidents," was
unanimously adopted by that profes
sional organization and published as
policy for the chief executives of its
nearly 400 member institutions
nationwide. It is the first formally
adopted ethical practices and policy
statement for higher education presi
dents.
The Orange, New Jersey, native is
a graduate of Monmouth College and
also holds a master of arts in educa
tional administration from Seton Hall
University. He has met coursework
requirements for a doctorate in edu
cation 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 Edin
boro University, President Diebold
was president of the University of

For his leadership on an interna
tional scale and for his many contri
butions to the advancement of higher
education and enrichment of an
emerging culture in Pakistan, Presi
dent Diebold was decorated with
prestigious gold medals from three
Pakistani universities. The awards for
educational eminence were presented
during visits to the Edinboro campus
by official Pakistani delegations.
President Diebold was also hon
ored by the Government of Pakistan
with the awarding of the degree of
Doctor of Laws (honoris causa), pre
sented at the Government House in
the City of Karachi. The ceremony
was attended by the presidents of the
several Pakistani universities holding
linkage agreements with Edinboro
University, as well as many highranking officials of the Government
7
Foster F. Diebold
of Pakistan and U.S. diplomatic offi
cials.
A staunch advocate of a
statewide system of public universi
ties in Pennsylvania, President
Diebold supported the enabling legis
lation for the State System of Higher
Education (Act 188 of 1982) and saw
the State System come to existence in
1983 as a member of the transition
team. He currently serves on the Sys
tem's Executive Council of Presidents
and on the boards of the Pennsylva
nia Academy for the Profession of
Teaching, the Pennsylvania State Ath
letic Conference, and the Dixon Uni
versity Center at Harrisburg.
President Diebold's stature in
American higher education has been
recognized by several high-level
appointments. He was named to the
National Committee on U.S.-China
Relations, the leading national orga
nization devoted to building con
structive relationships between the
two countries. He was also appointed
to the Leadership Council of the
Northeast-Midwest Institute, a
regional component of the Center for
Regional Policy, and to the Pennsyl
vania Humanities Council, the pri
vate, non-profit group promoting
statewide public understanding of
the humanities.
Edinboro Honors Nine Seniors Today
First and foremost, today's game
against Clarion University is quite signifi
cant to the Scots and their 1994 national
playoff aspirations.
What can't be overlooked though, is
the profound impact nine student-ath
letes, playing in their final game at Sox
Harrison Stadium, have had on the Scot
program since 1991. Over the span, this
group can boast about a pair of Division
II playoff appearances and a won/loss
mark of 30-11-1.
Among the participants recognized
today are Edinboro's all-time leaders in
yards rushing and passing and the
school's career interception leader. Not
ing that records and results date back to
the 1920s, these three players before you
today may be considered among Edin
boro's best ever. In addition to record
holding, All-Americans Larry Jackson
(RB), Jody Dickerson (QB) and Steve
Russell (FS), Otha Davidson (OT/DT),
Michael Edwards (LB), Jeff Macintosh
(WR), Scott Rupert (PK/P), Chris Snyder
(FB) and Lateef Walters (WR) will dis
play their skills before the partisan crowd
for the last time today.
Jackson,
the PSAC West
Player of the
Year in 1992,
recently
became just the
third player in
PSAC history
to eclipse the
4,000-yard bar
rier and cur
rently stands
with 4,114 career yards. Announced as
one of 23 players in the running for
national player of the year honors this
season, Jackson currently leads Division
II in yards per game rushing (170+) and
has totaled 40 rushing touchdowns.
Dickerson
has
started
every game
except
one
(Mansfield '94)
since 1991 and
is the Scots
record holder
in yards pass
ing
(7,145),
touchdowns (60), total offense (7,509) and
completions (470). With him under center,
Edinboro has won 17 of 24 games (17-6-1)
in the rugged PSAC Western Division.
Russell,
having already
earned
his
undergraduate
degree,
returned to the
program this
season to con
tinue his stellar
career. Entering
today's contest,
he has set the
Edinboro standard with 19 interceptions
including a team high five this season. He
was a first-team choice, along with Jackson and Dickerson, to the western divi
sion all-star squad a year ago.
Davidson,
currently along
the defensive
line, has been a
versatile line
man playing
offensive guard
and defensive
tackle. He has
been in on 18
tackles in 1994
and is tied for
third on the team with two quarterback
sacks.
Edwards, a
three-year
starter, is cur
rently second
on the team
with 92 tackles.
An all PSAC
West performer
a year ago, he is
the
school's
11th all-time
leading tackier
with 305 career
stops.
Macintosh
has turned in a
solid
1994,
catching six
passes for 76
yards and one
score.
His
touchdown
grab and 31yard reception
setting up the
go-ahead
touchdown, were very instrumental in
the 'Boro's wild win over the Rock.
Rupert,
ranked third on
the
all-time
kick scoring
charts with 169
points, is cur
rently third on
the team with
45 tallies on 5 of
7 field goals
and 30 extra
points.
The
1994 PSAC Player of the Year in baseball,
he set nine school records for the western
division champion Scots last spring.
Snyder,
from nearby
Seneca High,
has been the
starting full
back since 1993.
He is currently
third in yards
rushing (136)^
and
toucl^*
downs (4). He,
along with Saul
Harrison, has helped clear the way for
Division IPs top rusher this season.
Wa 1 ter s,
recovering from
an ankle injury,
is on pace to
establish
a
school record
for catches in a
season (50). He
currently owns
39 grabs for 675
yards and eight
scores. His 19.5
yard per catch mark is second best in
school history, following 1990 Harlon Hill
runner up Ernest Priester.

Scot Success in the Classroom
Under the direction of Tom Hollman,
the Scots have not only excelled on the
field but in the classroom.
Last year the football team had 28
different student-athletes earn semester
grade point averages over the 3.0 mark,
up one from a year ago. Furthermore, the
Scots also increased the number of play
ers who eclipsed the same standard on a
cumulative basis.
Among the 'Boro's standouts were
1994 graduates Scott Mikowicz and Dave
Ashton. Mikowicz displayed outstanding
work in the classroom, finishing his aca
demic career with an impressive 3.40
QPA. The height of his studies was exem
plified with his representation of Edin
boro University as an NCAA
post-graduate scholarship nominee. Also
the starting tight end on the football
team, Mikowicz caught 25 passes for 365
yards and four touchdowns. Ashton
earned honors as a national scholar-ath
lete and as a three-time Edinboro Univer
sity scholar-athlete, maintaining a 3.22
QPA during his four years at the 'Boro.
He was a starting wide receiver in 1993,
catching 26 passes for 334 yards and three
touchdowns.
Several 1993 graduates earned lau
rels on and off the field during their
careers at Edinboro. Sean Seibert and
Brian Heebsh were both recognized as
national scholar-athletes by College Foot
ball Preview magazine a year ago, while
All-Americans Georj Lewis and Mike
Barnes were nominated for NCAA
minority post-graduate scholarships.

O
Before the arrival of Tom Hollman in
1988, the Fighting Scots knew that their
football program needed a lift. What they
didn't know was that under Hollman's
direction, their lift would quickly become
a significant elevation.
Edinboro has taken its program to
national prominence, and in 1994 will
aim to reach the NCAA II playoffs for the
fifth time in the past six seasons. Last
year, the Scots earned their second
straight post-season appearance while
posting another eight-win (8-3) season.
With all three hard fought losses coming
at the hands of nationally-ranked oppo
nents, the Boro was strong enough to fin
ish the year ranked #14 among the
Division II elite.
This upcoming season should be a
good measure of just how successful the
Edinboro tradition has become. Gradua
tion took 11 starters, many of whom
spent multiple seasons at the top of the
depth chart. And while the good fortune
has been enjoyed, it has not gone unno
ticed. The Scots will have to carry on the
tradition without both former offensive
line coach Ed Stults, who assumed the
head coaching duties at Defiance College
(OH), and former defensive line
coach/recruiting coordinator Gene Smith,
who now works as an NFL BLESTO
scout.
The quest for a third straight post
season berth in 1994 will not be easy with
another rugged 10-game schedule. The
PSAC West slate is more balanced than
ever, while, furthermore, the Scots face
formidable non-conference foes in Hills
dale (MI), Elizabeth City and American
International, and Mansfield.
The Plaid will host five games and
play five on the road in 1994, including
the visitors role in two straight contests to
begin the year. In a strange twist of for
tunes, the Boro has been a terror away
from home the past two years. Since the
start of the 1992 campaign, Edinboro has
gone 10 straight regular season road
games without a loss while posting seven
wins and three setbacks at Sox Harrison
Stadium.

campaign in which he set single season
standards for yards (2,209), touchdowns
(25), and attempts (277). The Scots have
compiled an impressive 23-9-1, record
during his string of 33 consecutive starts.
Larry Jackson, one of the best tail
backs in Edinboro history, also returns for
his senior season. The 1992 PSAC West
Player of the Year returned from early
season injuries to amass 1,171 yards and
eight touchdowns in 1993. Jackson's 2,577
career rushing yards puts him within 823
yards of the Boro's all-time mark. Full
back Chris Snyder, both a tough runner
and punishing blocker, will solidify the
Plaid backfield.
When the Scots go to the air, they'll
look in the direction of wide out Lateef
Walters (23 receptions, 550 yds., 6 TDs)
who gives them plenty of big-play experi
ence.
Offensive Line
The Boro is strong up the middle,
with returning guards Det Betti and Jere
my O'Day. Betti may be asked to play
center to make room for either Chadd
Wallick or Otha Davidson, both of whom
have started in big games during their
careers. On the outside, they must some
how replace former All-PSAC tackles
Mike Kegarise and Tony Tighe. Todd
Herme caught four touchdowns last sea
son and could get the nod at tight end.
Defensive Line
With only one returnee from last
year's squad, ^e defensive front could be
a big question mark. All-Northeast
Region defensive end Pat Schuster looks
to duplicate a spectacular 1993 campaign
in which he had 76 stops and 11 sacks.
Playing opposite Schuster could be con
verted linebacker and special teams
standout Bryan Lambert (59 tackles).
The main concern is plugging up the
middle with the departure of All-Ameri
can tackle Russell Cray and linemate Rob
Harmer. Matt Gentile played well last
year when injuries put him into a starting
role. The other tackle spot will be up for
grabs when the fall practice sessions get
underway.
Skill Positions
Linebackers
Quarterback Jody Dickerson will
head the offense for the fourth straight
season. On pace to break several Edin
boro career passing records, the PSAC
West first-teamer, and honorable mention
All-American, returns after a stellar 1993
Michael Edwards will spearhead a
linebacking crew who all return as former
starters. The two year backer recorded
127 tackles and six break-ups en route to
a PSAC West Second Team selection a
11
year ago. Another great season from
Edwards could vault him into the Boro's
top ten in career tackles. Michael Sims, a
1993 redshirt, will be asked to fill the big
shoes of three-time All-American middle
linebacker Jason Perkins. Sims had an
impressive freshman season two years
ago in which he had 84 stops at one of the
outside positions. Rahshahn Alston will
be expected to round out an excellent core
of linebackers in 1994. Only a freshman
last year, Alston gained experience as a
starter, totaling 69 tackles from the out
side.
Secondary
The Boro returns three-fourths of a
defensive backfield that terrorized quar
terbacks for 22 interceptions last season.
All-American safety Steve Russell will
lead the talented unit. One of the best ath
letes on the team, Russell is a school
record holder with 14 interceptions. Last
season the All-American and PSAC West
first teamer stole seven aerials and regis
tered 68 tackles. Also feared for his hit
ting ability, Russell has forced six fumbles
over his stellar career.
Marty Williams and Rick Walker also
return after starting all eleven games last
season. Walker accounted for 46 tackles,
five break-ups, and one interception from
his free safety position while Williams, a
comerback, recorded 61 tackles, 10 break
ups, two interceptions and a blocked
pimt. Both returnees caused two fumbles
and recovered another in 1993. Corners
David Harris and Ron Allen both saw
action throughout the past season and are
expected to compete for more playing
time this year.
Specialties
Place-kicker Scott Rupert, a Boro
mainstay the past two years, returns to
handle the kicking chores for yet another
season. In 1993 Rupert set an Edinboro
single season record by connecting on 43
of 45 PAT tries. Five of his 11 field goal
attempts were also true, including a
career best 44 yarder.
The Boro will have a new punter in
1994 for the first time in four years due to
the graduation of All-American Gary
Lhotsky. The vacancy remains up for
grabs as camp starts in August.
Walters is likely to be the Scots' top
punt return threat while Russell averaged
over 24 yards per kickoff return last sea
son, including a 92-yarder for a score at
Slippery Rock.

Head Coach Tom Hollman
In January 1988, Edinboro Uni
versity hired Tom Hollman, Athens,
Ohio, as its eleventh head football
coach in the school's history. Hollman
came to Edinboro from Ohio Univer
sity, where he was the defensive coor
dinator.
Hollman, beginning his seventh
year, has the Scot program back in
the national spotlight. At Edinboro,
he has earned 45 wins against just 19
losses and two ties and owns an
impressive 27-7-2 slate against the
PSAC Western Division. The Scots
have advanced to post-season play
four of the past five years.
Tom Hollman
In 1989, he was named the top
coach in the East Region by the
National Football Coaches Associa
tion and also tabbed the top coach in
the PSAC West. In 1990, he guided
the Scots to their first-ever NCAA II
playoff win as Edinboro routed Vir
ginia Union and advanced to the
national quarterfinals.
"Edinboro has been a great expe
rience, and I like the direction of the
program," Hollman said.
"As a coach, I have been fortu
nate to coach at many different levels,
from high school to Division I. The
Division II level here at Edinboro is
very appealing to me in relation to
my career goals. It is a great feeling to
be a head coach at this level."
Hollman's educational back

establish a winning program and have fun in the pro
cess. I feel we have done that. We continue to improve
on the field and in the classroom - we want to contin

take our program to the elite level among Division II
schools. Each year, we feel that we can play with any
team in the country."

Moving to the offensive side of the
ball, from the defensive backfield, Scott
brings a wealth of coaching experience in
his ninth year at the 'Boro. Under his
guidance the Scot defense has intercepted
78 passes the past six seasons. He has
guided the fortunes of All-Americans
Steve Russell, Michael Willis, Wade
Smith, Georj Lewis, and Mike Barnes, and
PSAC Rookie of the Year Mario Houston.
Offensively, he coached former greats
Elbert Cole, Floyd Faulkner and Ross
Rankin.
Scott came to Edinboro from Ohio
State University, where he coached
receivers and running backs. Prior to his
start at OSU, Browning coached at Wor
thington and Dayton-Fairview high
schools in Ohio, from 1979-81. Then, as a
graduate assistant, he coached the defen
sive 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
Mexico State in 1983, and a BS in educa
tion from Ohio State in 1981. Earlier,
before transferring to OSU, Scott attended
Capital University where he played foot
ball for one season. Browning was a fouryear letterman in four sports at
Loudonville High School (OH) prior to
his collegiate days. Scott is married to the
former Lynn Hook, and has a son,
Andrew Scott. The Brownings reside in
Edinboro.
Dan Gierlak - Running Backs
Dan Gierlak enters his eighth season
as a full-time coach with his responsibili
ties concerning the running backs. He
was formerly 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 Cow
boys. During his short stint with the
Cowboys, Gierlak's squad gained nation
al championship honors in 1984 and run-
ner up nationally in the 1985 season. Gier
lak brings both playing and coaching
experience to the staff, giving the Scot
players an added plus on the offensive
side of the ball. As backfield coach, he has
guided former Harlon Hill finalist Elbert
Cole and Boro All-Americans Lester Frye
and Larry Jackson.
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,
three-year-old daughter, Alexandria Ali
cia, and 9-month-old son, Daniel "Joey"
Jr., reside in Edinboro.
Tony Elliott - Secondary
Hamot
Tony Elliott, a defensive back with
the Green Bay Packers from 1986-88,
begins his first season coaching the Fight
ing Scot secondary. His professional play
ing experience should be beneficial to an
already strong Edinboro secondary.
"Tony has a fine football mind, and has
been successful as a player and coach. He
comes strongly recommended from oth
ers in the profession and will be an excel
lent role model for our players," head
coach Tom Hollman said.
Elliott comes to Edinboro from
Wayne State (Michigan), where he served
as the defensive coordinator and sec
ondary coach last year. He started at WSU
in 1992 as defensive coordinator and
linebacker coach. He began his coaching
career at Alma College in 1990-91, before
coaching at Grand Valley University in
1991-92. His main duties at those two
schools were recruiting and teaching on
the defensive side of the ball.
Elliott is a graduate of Central Michi
gan University where he majored in
sports studies with a minor concentration
in interpersonal communications. He was
a four-year letterman for the Chippewas
of CMU. Originally from Detroit, Elliott
played at Finney High School from 197982 where he was an All-State performer.

Mark Niswonger, a veteran of the
coaching ranks for 21 years, begins his
seventh year with the Plaid as defensive
coordinator and linebacker coach. Former
understudy 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 most respected squads in the country
on the Division II level.
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 coordi
nator for Bryan High School (OH) where
the team earned a 9-1 record. The next
two seasons, Niswonger was the defen
sive 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
University 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 coor
dinator and then back to his alma mater
from 85-87 as their secondary coach.
Niswonger's education includes an
imdergraduate degree in physical educa
tion and political science from Findlay
and a MA in physical education from Ball
State. Mark and his wife Patty and threeyear-old daughter, Megan Marie, and
eighteen-month-old son, Joushua Jay,
reside in Edinboro.

Collegiate Athletic Association may confer on an individual. It
is presented annually to a distinguished citizen of national reputation
and outstanding accomplishment who has earned a varsity athletics
award in college. That individual must have shown continuing inter
est and concern for physical fitness and competitive sport, and exem
plified by personal example most clearly and forcefully the ideals
and purposes to which college athletics programs and amateur sports
competition are dedicated. The award is presented annually at the
honors dinner at the Association’s Convention.
The 1994 “Teddy” recipient and 28th honoree is businessman and
civic leader Rafer Johnson.
Johnson is president of Rafer Johnson Enterprises, which works
with companies that are involved with providing activities for youth.
In addition, he serves as the chairman of the board of directors for the
California Special Olympics.
He was on the board of directors of the Los Angeles Olympic
Organizing Committee (LAOOC) and a member of its 22-member
Executive Committee. Johnson was honored for his many athletics
achievements by being selected as the torch-bearer for the 1984
Summer Olympic Games.'
He currently serves on the board of directors of the Amateur
Foundation, the organization that distributes surplus money earned
by the LAOOC during the 1984 Olympics.
Johnson competed in two Olympic Games, winning a silver medal
in the decathlon at the 1956 Games in Melbourne, Australia, and a
gold medal at the 1960 Games in Rome. As a student-athlete at UCLA
in 1958, he was named Sportsman of the Year by Sports Illustrated and
also won recognition as North American athlete of the year.
In 1960, Johnson won the Sullivan Award, given to the outstand
ing amateur athlete in the United States. He also was named The
Associated Press male athlete of the year, and was the flag-bearer and
team captain for the 1960 U.S. Olympic Team.
Johnson has been involved with the President’s Council on
Physical Fitness, the President’s Commission on Olympic Sports, the
International Olympic Academy Committee of the United States
Olympic Committee, the Advisory Committee of the World’s Sport
Foundation and the athletics advisory panel for the Department of
State.
Johnson lettered in track and basketball while earning a bachelor
of arts degree in physical education from UCLA. He was the AAU
decathlon champion in 1956 and 1958 (the NCAA did not include the
decathlon in its championships until 1970).
Theodore Roosevelt, president of the United States from 19011909, for whom the award is named, sununed up the creed of ama
teur athletics this way:
“In the battle of life, it is not the critic who counts; not the man
who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of
deeds could have done better.
“The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose
face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly;
who errs and comes short again and again, because there is no effort
without shortcoming; who does actually strive to do the deeds; who
knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotion, spends himself in a
worthy cause; who at best knows in the end the triumph of high
achievement; and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring
greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid
souls who have tasted neither victory nor defeat.”

The state universities spent the
first 100 years of existence train
ing teachers for Pennsylvania's
schools. The Normal School Act
of 1857 established regional
teacher training institutions
throughout the Commonwealth.
The School Code of 1911 called
for the state purchase of all nor
mal schools, and by 1921 the pre
sent configuration of 14
state-owned universities was
established. The 14 normal
schools evolved from state nor
mal schools, to state teachers col
leges, to state colleges. On
November 12, 1982, Act 188 was
signed into law establishing on
July 1, 1993 the Pennsylvania
State System of Higher Educa
tion. Thus, the 13 former state
colleges joined with Indiana Uni
versity of Pennsylvania to
achieve university status. The
universities have a cumulative
history of 1,600 years.
/
Several study abroad programs
are available in System universi
ties.
/
All the universities support life
long learning programs through
out the academic year. Many
feature Elderhostel.
/
Most universities have honors
programs, student counseling
and career planning, cooperative
education, and internship pro
grams.
/
/
The universities in the State Sys
tem of Higher Education are fully
accredited by the Middle States
Association of Colleges and Sec
ondary Schools, the National
Council for Accreditation of
Teacher Education, and several
appropriate national professional
organizations.
/
System graduates living in the
Commonwealth number over
296,000.
There are 14 universities in the
State System of Higher Education
with four branch campuses and
the McKeever Environmental
Center.
The total student population
among the System universities is
95,000. While 89% of students are
from Pennsylvania, they repre
sent many other states and for
eign countries.
The total university campus has
over 4,000 acres in 19 Pennsylva
nia counties. Buildings for class
rooms,
residences,
administration and student sup
port number 719.
/
Collectively the 14 universities
offer 217 undergraduate and 107
graduate degree programs, led
by 5,500 full-time faculty mem
bers.
/
An average 75% of undergradu
ate students receive some form of
financial assistance to help meet
costs.
System library holdings total
more than 5.5 million volumes
and 13 million periodicals, micro
forms, and audio materials.
