THE COLLEGE'S HISTORY
The beginnings of the college were laid in 1857, over one
hundred years ago, when a band of Scotch-Irish farmers grouped
together and founded a private normal school at Edinboro by
popular subscription to train teachers.
In 1861 it was cha3>
tered by the Commonwealth as Pennsylvania’s second Normal
School and developed and grew through service to the Common
wealth.
A great forward stride was taken in 1914> when the Com
monwealth purchased Edinboro Normal School.
In 1926, alerted
to the need for better educated teachers for its schools,
Pennsylvania made Edinboro a Teachers College offering a fouryear curriculum leading to degrees of Bachelor of Science in
Secondary, Elementary, and Art Education, and Library Science.
In I960 the name of the college was changed to
State College.
Edinboro
Beginning in September of 1957, the college was empowered
to grant degrees of Master of Education in Elementary Educa
tion.
In September 1961, graduate study in secondaiy educa
tion was added to the graduate program.
In 1962 the liberal arts degree program was begun.
Stu
dents may prepare for various vocations as an arts and science
major in the Humanities, Social Sciences or Natural Sciences
and may receive a Bachelor of Arts degree.
The control of the College is vested in the Board of
Trustees, composed of nine members appointed by the Governor
of Pennsylvania.
The Board of Trustees in turn elects the
President of the College who is responsible for its adminis
tration. The State Superintendent of Public Instruction is an
ex-officio member of the Board of Trustees.
The College is accredited by the National Council for Ac
creditation of Teacher Education, the Middle States Associa
tion of Colleges and Secondary Schools, and the Anerican Medi
cal Association.
In addition, its curriculums are registered
by the New York State Department of Education.
The College stresses friendly relations among students
and faculty and informal student counseling and guidance. The
faculty is keenly aware of professional interests and self
growth.
High qualitative and quantitative standards distin
guish the graduates of this college.
The preparation of
better educated citizens has been an Edinboro tradition for
over a century.

PRESIDENT
Dr. Chester T. McNemey became
president of Edinboro State College
in September, 1966.

EDINBORO STATE COLLEGE'S ATHLETIC PROGRAM
Intercollegiate athletics play an important role in the
total educational program of Edinboro State College. The pro
gram is so conducted as to assure wholesome use of leisure
time, a healthy focal point for the experience and the expres
sion of group spirit, and a laboratory experience for pros
pective coaches.
Edinboro's athletic program includes intercollegiate con>petition in football, basketball, wrestling, golf, track, ten
nis, baseball, soccer, and cross country.
The finest of
facilities are readily being made available to accommodate
these sports.
The most recent addition to Edinboro's athletic plant is
Sox Harrison Stadium and Athletic Field. The stadium provides
seating for 4OOO persons for football contests along with com
plete track facilities. Recently completed is a baseball dia
mond of major league specifications situated near the stadium.
The field covers six acres with a selected clay base infield
and specially seeded playing area.
Scheduled for construction in the near future is a new
fieldhouse.
The structure will include an intercollegiate
basketball court, three intramural basketball courts, an AAUsized swimming pool, wrestling and handball rooms, a steam
room, a corrective gym, medical suite, and rifle range. Seat
ing capacity of the sports arena will be approximately 4>500
with provisions for later expansion to 7,000 provided.
The continuing growth of Edinboro* s athletic program is
rapidly establishing the College as a respected collegiate
competitor.

TALENTED FRONT LINERS LEAD SCOT DIAMONIMEN
Although Edinboro State's baseball roster is studded with
many first-year performers, the Scots appear to be ready for
the 1969 season with talented starters at all positions. Sev
en veteran returnees along with a crop of outstanding sopho
mores will guide Coach Jim Christopher's diamond fortunes as
the Highlanders embark upon their fourth year of intercolle
giate competition.
Bolstering the Clan's firepower on the mound are 6-5 sen
ior righthander Rod Herron (Jackson Center) and junior south
paw Jim Sullivan (Lockport, N. Y.).
Herron, an overpowering
fastballer, twirled 4 wins in 8 outings last year while post
ing a 2.73 ERA. Sullivan, who completes the Scots' 1-2 punch,
tossed his way to a 2-2 slate and chalked up an ERA of 2.09.
Larry Parsing (Pittsfield), the Clan's second leading
hitter last spring with a .326 average, is also expected to
see plenty of hurling action on the hill.
Others scheduled to be tested for pitching duty include:
Greg Westhoff (Bethel Park), Darrell Gettys (Pittsburgh), Joe
Espey (Baden),
Larry Connelly (Cheswick),
Mel Dainty (West
Newton) and Vince Racculia (Pittsburgh).
Top prospects in the Clan's defensive-minded infield are
Ron Young (New Kensington), a 2-year letter winner at first
base, Wayne Bair (Pitcairn), a third-year veteran at second,
Jim Colangelo (Conneaut, 0.), a 3-year award winner at third
base and sophomore Dick Astor (Milltown, N. J.) at shortstop.
Battling Scot co-captain, Ron Young, for first base hon
ors is sophomore Jamie Ferrare (Erie). Ferrare was an All-City
selection in both his junior and senior years while perfonning
for Strong Vincent High School where he played 4 years of base
ball.
Young returns to the Highlander lineup after a year's
absence. He hit .290 the last time out as a sophomore.
Wayne Bair has been the Clan's regular second sacker for
the past 3 years and has been chosen as the squad's MVP for
the last two seasons. He led the Scots' sticks as a sophomore
when he slapped out a .409 average and repeated again as a
junior by connecting 21 times in 56 appearances at the plate
for a .374 batting mark.
Jim Colangelo has been the Clan's regular third sacker
for the past three campaigns.
He led the team in RBI's last
year by sending home 12 of his teammates for Edinboro tallies.
Dick Astor, a sophomore newcomer with plenty of creden
tials, will anchor the infield at shortstop. A standout player
at New Brunswick High, Astor was drafted by the Washington
Senators 2 years ago.
While performing at third base he was
named to the All-State Team by the Newark News and placed on
the New York Daily News' All Star Team. Astor not only posses
ses a fine arm and glove, but is also an excellent hitter.
The backstop chores will be handled by sophomore Bob King
(Wilkes-Barre),
another top prospect who has been scouted by
the pros.
The outfield positions will most likely be manned by an
all-sophomore contingent.
Looking impressive in early drills
have been Burk Krohe (Northbrook, 111.) in center, Ray Over
holt (Brookfield, 111.) in left and Jim Mowbray (Erie) in
right field.
Other sophs pressing hard who could easily be
found in the outfield on opening day are Dennis Dombrowski
(Harborcreek), Jim Winch (Pittsburgh) and A1 Scaggs (Aliquippa).
The Highlander nine will open season play when they host
Westminster at 3:00 p.m., April 15. The Clan will be striving
for a repeat of last year's opening game win over the Titans.
The contest will mark Edinboro State's first home base
ball game as the Scots inaugurate play on their new field.

TENNIS COACH
Coach Hanio "Hank” Mariotti is
in his fifth season as head varsity
tennis mentor of Edinboro State Col
lege.
Mariotti began tennis coach^
ing duties in March I964.
After graduating from West Lib
erty College, Mr. Mariotti taught
and coached for fifteen years on the
high school staff of the Allegheny
Valley Joint Schools in Springdale,
Pennsylvania. During his time there,
he served as head baseball coach,
assistant football coach and head
trainer.
Hanio "Hank" Mariotti
Mr. Mariotti joined the Edin
boro State College faculty in September of 1962. Erom 1962 to
1966 he has served as assistant football coach, trainer, ten
nis coach, intramural director, acting director of athletics
and teacher of health education via closed circuit educational
television.
Under Mr. Mariotti’s past guidance, as athletic director,
freshmen schedules in track, tennis and wrestling have been
incorporated in the total athletic program.
The addition of
baseball as a collegiate sport at Edinboro became a reality
through his efforts.
RACKET MEN POST WINNING SLATE IN ' 68
The Fighting Scot netmen spurted to an early 5-2 record
before consecutive losses to Buffalo State, Fredonia and Gan
non left the court men -with an even slate.
A 5-4 victory in
the season finale, however, put the Highlanders on the plus
side of the ledger for a fine season showing.
Edinboro racket men Ted Robison and Frank Bova paved the
way on the clay courts liy posting identical 8-3 season marks
in matches while court mate Tom Smith followed closely with a
7-4 slate.
Leading in doubles play at the close of the campaign was
the duo of Tom Moore and Tom Smith who smacked their way to 7
wins and only 3 defeats.
A fifth-place finish in the state tournament, which in
cluded 11 of the 13 state colleges this past year, capped team
play for the season.
-1>
Both Robison and Bova traveled to Kansas City, Mo., where
they competed in the NAIA tennis tourney. The sophomore hope
fuls were eliminated in the early matches, but gained valuable
experience on the courts to provide plenty of depth for the
Scots in 1969.
Coach Hanio Mariotti's Fighting Scot netmen captured the
runnerup trophy by garnering second place in the first annual
Edinboro State College fall tennis tournament.
The invitational contest, sponsored October 11-12, marked
a historical first in the Highlander athletic record books
Since the Scots never before hosted a tennis tournament on its
hardcourts.
The Highlanders earned their second place finish with a
tally of 12 winning points.
California State College was the
winner of the quadrangular tourney with 20^ points. Mansfield
State College placed third with 10 points and Slippery Rock
State followed with 9^ markers.
Edinboro State's Ted Robison was named the winner of the
Outstanding Singles Player trophy by the participating coaches.
Robison, a jimior from Oil City, emerged undefeated in three
singles division matches.
Robison and Frank Bova combined their tennis abilities to
win the Outstanding Doubles Team trophy for Edinboro State.
Bova is a junior from Erie.

SCOT NETTERS FACE UPHILL BATTLE
Edinboro State’s Fighting Scot netmen will pin the hopes
of the 1969 season on the rackets of lettermen Ted Robison
(Oil City), Erank Bova (Erie), Tom Snith (Erie) and Bob Campadel (Clairton).
Robison and Bova paved the way to a 6-5 slate for the
Clan last season on the courts by posting identical 8-3 season
marks while teammate Tom Smith followed closely with a 7-4
slate.
Letteman Bob Campadel will give the Scots
enced representative in the fourth position.
an
experi
Joe McNaul (Clearfield), Dalph McNeil (Brookville) and
Lou Vitelli (Erie) are battling for the fifth-place slot.
The Clan should have some outstanding individual efforts
in the hardcourts this spring but the squad doesn’t have the
depth exhibited last season.
Coach Hank Mariotti feels his
team is one year away from its top potential.
"We have out
standing underclassmen performing for us and have freslmien who
will be starting for us next year," stated the coach.
An enlarged schedule of 13 dual matches against such
strong schools as Buffalo State, California, Youngstown and
Gannon will add to Scot racketers’ challenges.
A trip to Mansfield State on April 12 will mark the open
ing of net play for the Highlander hopefuls.

•68 SCOT INDIVI DUALS SHINE ON CINDERS
Although recording a dismal 2-6 overall record, Edinboro
State’s future seems enhanced by stray performances from un
derclassmen and an undefeated freshman cinder team.
Three firsts were recorded by the Highlander thinclads.
Dale Seifert stepped over the 440 intermediate hurdles in a
record time of 58.5 to post a new ESC mark while the 440 relay
team of Sage, Figert, Walters, and Hess raced to a new time of
45*4 around the oval. Senior Ron Wiser paced the Scots in in
dividual scoring as he continually captured top spots in the
mile, 2-mile and the pole vault.
Edinboro’s thinclads edged Indiana University of Pa.,
*73-71 > to give the Scots their first-ever win over the Big In
dians in track.
Freshman John Gillette flipped the discus 133’7" to es
tablish another Highlander mark in the field events.
The
Clan’s yearling squad sped its way to an unblemished 7-0 slate
to become the first undefeated freshman cinder team at Edin
boro.

RETURNEES AND OUTSTANDING NEWCOMERS
BRIGHTEN CINDER SEASON PROSPECTS
Outstanding individual efforts have been a tradition that
Edinboro track coach Dave O’Dessa has always welcomed. For the
past 2 years, however, the Highlander thinclads have had no
depth to back their top performers.
The outlook is much
brighter in the Fighting Scot camp this spring.
A core of 16 lettermen bolster the Clan's cinder charges.
The addition of top prospects from a freshman squad that ran
to an undefeated season last year with 7 consecutive wins also
point to a strengthening of the ranks.
Paving the way for the Scots are Edinboro tri-captains
George Cincala (Natrona Heights),
Jack Horton (Cambridge
Springs) and Gary Pierotti (Allison Park).
Cincala flips the
discus while Horton is the Clan's leader in the 440 and Pierotti competes in the long jump.
The thinclads appear strongest in sprints behind the
spikes of letter winners Bill Hamilton (Erie), Ron Hess (Mc
Keesport),
Paul Reed (Erie),
Mike Sage (Ambridge) and Rick
Walters (Edinboro). Also pushing for starting positions in the
blocks will be junior "Smokey" Santillo along with sophomores
Doug Shevchik (Aliquippa) and Dave Zuchelli (Ridgeway) who
paced the frosh dash men.
Letterman Dale Seifert (North East) will lead the field
over the timbers. The speedy junior set a new Edinboro record
in the 440 intermediate hurdles last spring with a :58.5
clocking. Backing his efforts against the barriers are sopho
mores Eric Schwartz(North East) and George Simko (Bethel Park).
Veterans Norm Eaton (Springdale) and Jack Horton fonn the
440 contingent while Bob Gomy (Pittsburgh) and Joe Robb (Tur
bo tville) will carry the Highlanders' hopes in the 880.
The mile and 2-mile runs will be anchored by junior Cliff
Kirschner (N. Versailles) with newcomers Rich Kaleida (Conneautville) and John Plakidas (Pittsburgh) teaming up to as
sault the oval.
John Gillette, a sophomore from Albion who set a new Ed
inboro discus mark last year with a heave of 133'7", has con
tinued to improve and should prove to be an outstanding per
former in a varsity uniform. Gillette and tri-captain Cincala
could give the Clan a strong 1-2 combination in the platter
spinning event.

THE COLLEGE'S HISTORY
The beginnings of the college were laid in 1857, over one
hundred years ago, when a band of Scotch-Irish farmers grouped
together and founded a private normal school at Edinboro by
popular subscription to train teachers.
In 1861 it was cha3>
tered by the Commonwealth as Pennsylvania’s second Normal
School and developed and grew through service to the Common
wealth.
A great forward stride was taken in 1914> when the Com
monwealth purchased Edinboro Normal School.
In 1926, alerted
to the need for better educated teachers for its schools,
Pennsylvania made Edinboro a Teachers College offering a fouryear curriculum leading to degrees of Bachelor of Science in
Secondary, Elementary, and Art Education, and Library Science.
In I960 the name of the college was changed to
State College.
Edinboro
Beginning in September of 1957, the college was empowered
to grant degrees of Master of Education in Elementary Educa
tion.
In September 1961, graduate study in secondaiy educa
tion was added to the graduate program.
In 1962 the liberal arts degree program was begun.
Stu
dents may prepare for various vocations as an arts and science
major in the Humanities, Social Sciences or Natural Sciences
and may receive a Bachelor of Arts degree.
The control of the College is vested in the Board of
Trustees, composed of nine members appointed by the Governor
of Pennsylvania.
The Board of Trustees in turn elects the
President of the College who is responsible for its adminis
tration. The State Superintendent of Public Instruction is an
ex-officio member of the Board of Trustees.
The College is accredited by the National Council for Ac
creditation of Teacher Education, the Middle States Associa
tion of Colleges and Secondary Schools, and the Anerican Medi
cal Association.
In addition, its curriculums are registered
by the New York State Department of Education.
The College stresses friendly relations among students
and faculty and informal student counseling and guidance. The
faculty is keenly aware of professional interests and self
growth.
High qualitative and quantitative standards distin
guish the graduates of this college.
The preparation of
better educated citizens has been an Edinboro tradition for
over a century.

PRESIDENT
Dr. Chester T. McNemey became
president of Edinboro State College
in September, 1966.
His formal in
auguration, honoring him as Edinbords thirteenth president, followed
on April 22, 1967.
Dr. Chester T. McNerney
Ed?. McNemey came to Edinboro
from the University of Akron, where
he was Dean of the College of Educa
tion and was highly instrumental in
the development of numerous educa
tional innovations. He was cited as
the motivating force behind the Uni
versity of Akron Classrooms Around
the World,
and recognized for his
scholarly studies
of comparative
education abroad.
Dr. McNemey’s primary areas of interest deal with the
improvement of the curriculum, the program for educational su
pervision and administration, and the improvement of inter
personal relationships among the various members of working
groups.
His concern in this area has led to his writing of
several books, lecturing and conducting various workshops.
He is a man dedicated to the academic life, a tireless
advocate of personal involvement in the religious and civic
affairs of one’s community, and an educator who visibly be
lieves in and practices total individual professional commit
ment.
ATHLETIC DIRECTOR
Mr. Allan W. Hall of Akron Uni
versity was appointed last year to
the newly created post of full-time
Director of Athletics at the College.

country teams for 12 years
and
guided his harriers to three
Ohio
Conferences and three All-Ohio chant-2X
pionships.
His 1963 squad held the distinction of being runnerup to national champion Baporia State in the NCAA meet.
Along vdth his cross country duties he also served as assist
ant track coach at A.U. for 12 years.
Hall's keen interest in all phases of sports is reflected
by his past accomplishments in the field of athletics.
In
1962 he was selected Meet Director of the National AAU Swim
ming Championships. He was highly instrumental in making Akron
University the site of the Mideast Regional NCAA Basketball
Tournaments in 1964, 1965, and 1966.
Hall is also credited
with the inception of the Junior Olympics program in the city
of Alcron.
He served as the University* s ^orts Information
Director during 1958 and 1959.
EDINBORO STATE COLLEGE'S ATHLETIC PROGRAM
Intercollegiate athletics play an important role in the
total educational program of Edinboro State College. The pro
gram is so conducted as to assure wholesome use of leisure
time, a healthy focal point for the experience and the expres
sion of group spirit, and a laboratory experience for pros
pective coaches.
Edinboro's athletic program includes intercollegiate con>petition in football, basketball, wrestling, golf, track, ten
nis, baseball, soccer, and cross country.
The finest of
facilities are readily being made available to accommodate
these sports.
The most recent addition to Edinboro's athletic plant is
Sox Harrison Stadium and Athletic Field. The stadium provides
seating for 4OOO persons for football contests along with com
plete track facilities. Recently completed is a baseball dia
mond of major league specifications situated near the stadium.
The field covers six acres with a selected clay base infield
and specially seeded playing area.
Scheduled for construction in the near future is a new
fieldhouse.
The structure will include an intercollegiate
basketball court, three intramural basketball courts, an AAUsized swimming pool, wrestling and handball rooms, a steam
room, a corrective gym, medical suite, and rifle range. Seat
ing capacity of the sports arena will be approximately 4>500
with provisions for later expansion to 7,000 provided.
The continuing growth of Edinboro* s athletic program is
rapidly establishing the College as a respected collegiate
competitor.

TALENTED FRONT LINERS LEAD SCOT DIAMONIMEN
Although Edinboro State's baseball roster is studded with
many first-year performers, the Scots appear to be ready for
the 1969 season with talented starters at all positions. Sev
en veteran returnees along with a crop of outstanding sopho
mores will guide Coach Jim Christopher's diamond fortunes as
the Highlanders embark upon their fourth year of intercolle
giate competition.
Bolstering the Clan's firepower on the mound are 6-5 sen
ior righthander Rod Herron (Jackson Center) and junior south
paw Jim Sullivan (Lockport, N. Y.).
Herron, an overpowering
fastballer, twirled 4 wins in 8 outings last year while post
ing a 2.73 ERA. Sullivan, who completes the Scots' 1-2 punch,
tossed his way to a 2-2 slate and chalked up an ERA of 2.09.
Larry Parsing (Pittsfield), the Clan's second leading
hitter last spring with a .326 average, is also expected to
see plenty of hurling action on the hill.
Others scheduled to be tested for pitching duty include:
Greg Westhoff (Bethel Park), Darrell Gettys (Pittsburgh), Joe
Espey (Baden),
Larry Connelly (Cheswick),
Mel Dainty (West
Newton) and Vince Racculia (Pittsburgh).
Top prospects in the Clan's defensive-minded infield are
Ron Young (New Kensington), a 2-year letter winner at first
base, Wayne Bair (Pitcairn), a third-year veteran at second,
Jim Colangelo (Conneaut, 0.), a 3-year award winner at third
base and sophomore Dick Astor (Milltown, N. J.) at shortstop.
Battling Scot co-captain, Ron Young, for first base hon
ors is sophomore Jamie Ferrare (Erie). Ferrare was an All-City
selection in both his junior and senior years while perfonning
for Strong Vincent High School where he played 4 years of base
ball.
Young returns to the Highlander lineup after a year's
absence. He hit .290 the last time out as a sophomore.
Wayne Bair has been the Clan's regular second sacker for
the past 3 years and has been chosen as the squad's MVP for
the last two seasons. He led the Scots' sticks as a sophomore
when he slapped out a .409 average and repeated again as a
junior by connecting 21 times in 56 appearances at the plate
for a .374 batting mark.
Jim Colangelo has been the Clan's regular third sacker
for the past three campaigns.
He led the team in RBI's last
year by sending home 12 of his teammates for Edinboro tallies.
Dick Astor, a sophomore newcomer with plenty of creden
tials, will anchor the infield at shortstop. A standout player
at New Brunswick High, Astor was drafted by the Washington
Senators 2 years ago.
While performing at third base he was
named to the All-State Team by the Newark News and placed on
the New York Daily News' All Star Team. Astor not only posses
ses a fine arm and glove, but is also an excellent hitter.
The backstop chores will be handled by sophomore Bob King
(Wilkes-Barre),
another top prospect who has been scouted by
the pros.
The outfield positions will most likely be manned by an
all-sophomore contingent.
Looking impressive in early drills
have been Burk Krohe (Northbrook, 111.) in center, Ray Over
holt (Brookfield, 111.) in left and Jim Mowbray (Erie) in
right field.
Other sophs pressing hard who could easily be
found in the outfield on opening day are Dennis Dombrowski
(Harborcreek), Jim Winch (Pittsburgh) and A1 Scaggs (Aliquippa).
The Highlander nine will open season play when they host
Westminster at 3:00 p.m., April 15. The Clan will be striving
for a repeat of last year's opening game win over the Titans.
The contest will mark Edinboro State's first home base
ball game as the Scots inaugurate play on their new field.

TENNIS COACH
Coach Hanio "Hank” Mariotti is
in his fifth season as head varsity
tennis mentor of Edinboro State Col
lege.
Mariotti began tennis coach^
ing duties in March I964.
After graduating from West Lib
erty College, Mr. Mariotti taught
and coached for fifteen years on the
high school staff of the Allegheny
Valley Joint Schools in Springdale,
Pennsylvania. During his time there,
he served as head baseball coach,
assistant football coach and head
trainer.
Hanio "Hank" Mariotti
Mr. Mariotti joined the Edin
boro State College faculty in September of 1962. Erom 1962 to
1966 he has served as assistant football coach, trainer, ten
nis coach, intramural director, acting director of athletics
and teacher of health education via closed circuit educational
television.
Under Mr. Mariotti’s past guidance, as athletic director,
freshmen schedules in track, tennis and wrestling have been
incorporated in the total athletic program.
The addition of
baseball as a collegiate sport at Edinboro became a reality
through his efforts.
RACKET MEN POST WINNING SLATE IN ' 68
The Fighting Scot netmen spurted to an early 5-2 record
before consecutive losses to Buffalo State, Fredonia and Gan
non left the court men -with an even slate.
A 5-4 victory in
the season finale, however, put the Highlanders on the plus
side of the ledger for a fine season showing.
Edinboro racket men Ted Robison and Frank Bova paved the
way on the clay courts liy posting identical 8-3 season marks
in matches while court mate Tom Smith followed closely with a
7-4 slate.
Leading in doubles play at the close of the campaign was
the duo of Tom Moore and Tom Smith who smacked their way to 7
wins and only 3 defeats.
A fifth-place finish in the state tournament, which in
cluded 11 of the 13 state colleges this past year, capped team
play for the season.
-1>
Both Robison and Bova traveled to Kansas City, Mo., where
they competed in the NAIA tennis tourney. The sophomore hope
fuls were eliminated in the early matches, but gained valuable
experience on the courts to provide plenty of depth for the
Scots in 1969.
Coach Hanio Mariotti's Fighting Scot netmen captured the
runnerup trophy by garnering second place in the first annual
Edinboro State College fall tennis tournament.
The invitational contest, sponsored October 11-12, marked
a historical first in the Highlander athletic record books
Since the Scots never before hosted a tennis tournament on its
hardcourts.
The Highlanders earned their second place finish with a
tally of 12 winning points.
California State College was the
winner of the quadrangular tourney with 20^ points. Mansfield
State College placed third with 10 points and Slippery Rock
State followed with 9^ markers.
Edinboro State's Ted Robison was named the winner of the
Outstanding Singles Player trophy by the participating coaches.
Robison, a jimior from Oil City, emerged undefeated in three
singles division matches.
Robison and Frank Bova combined their tennis abilities to
win the Outstanding Doubles Team trophy for Edinboro State.
Bova is a junior from Erie.

SCOT NETTERS FACE UPHILL BATTLE
Edinboro State’s Fighting Scot netmen will pin the hopes
of the 1969 season on the rackets of lettermen Ted Robison
(Oil City), Erank Bova (Erie), Tom Snith (Erie) and Bob Campadel (Clairton).
Robison and Bova paved the way to a 6-5 slate for the
Clan last season on the courts by posting identical 8-3 season
marks while teammate Tom Smith followed closely with a 7-4
slate.
Letteman Bob Campadel will give the Scots
enced representative in the fourth position.
an
experi
Joe McNaul (Clearfield), Dalph McNeil (Brookville) and
Lou Vitelli (Erie) are battling for the fifth-place slot.
The Clan should have some outstanding individual efforts
in the hardcourts this spring but the squad doesn’t have the
depth exhibited last season.
Coach Hank Mariotti feels his
team is one year away from its top potential.
"We have out
standing underclassmen performing for us and have freslmien who
will be starting for us next year," stated the coach.
An enlarged schedule of 13 dual matches against such
strong schools as Buffalo State, California, Youngstown and
Gannon will add to Scot racketers’ challenges.
A trip to Mansfield State on April 12 will mark the open
ing of net play for the Highlander hopefuls.

•68 SCOT INDIVI DUALS SHINE ON CINDERS
Although recording a dismal 2-6 overall record, Edinboro
State’s future seems enhanced by stray performances from un
derclassmen and an undefeated freshman cinder team.
Three firsts were recorded by the Highlander thinclads.
Dale Seifert stepped over the 440 intermediate hurdles in a
record time of 58.5 to post a new ESC mark while the 440 relay
team of Sage, Figert, Walters, and Hess raced to a new time of
45*4 around the oval. Senior Ron Wiser paced the Scots in in
dividual scoring as he continually captured top spots in the
mile, 2-mile and the pole vault.
Edinboro’s thinclads edged Indiana University of Pa.,
*73-71 > to give the Scots their first-ever win over the Big In
dians in track.
Freshman John Gillette flipped the discus 133’7" to es
tablish another Highlander mark in the field events.
The
Clan’s yearling squad sped its way to an unblemished 7-0 slate
to become the first undefeated freshman cinder team at Edin
boro.

RETURNEES AND OUTSTANDING NEWCOMERS
BRIGHTEN CINDER SEASON PROSPECTS
Outstanding individual efforts have been a tradition that
Edinboro track coach Dave O’Dessa has always welcomed. For the
past 2 years, however, the Highlander thinclads have had no
depth to back their top performers.
The outlook is much
brighter in the Fighting Scot camp this spring.
A core of 16 lettermen bolster the Clan's cinder charges.
The addition of top prospects from a freshman squad that ran
to an undefeated season last year with 7 consecutive wins also
point to a strengthening of the ranks.
Paving the way for the Scots are Edinboro tri-captains
George Cincala (Natrona Heights),
Jack Horton (Cambridge
Springs) and Gary Pierotti (Allison Park).
Cincala flips the
discus while Horton is the Clan's leader in the 440 and Pierotti competes in the long jump.
The thinclads appear strongest in sprints behind the
spikes of letter winners Bill Hamilton (Erie), Ron Hess (Mc
Keesport),
Paul Reed (Erie),
Mike Sage (Ambridge) and Rick
Walters (Edinboro). Also pushing for starting positions in the
blocks will be junior "Smokey" Santillo along with sophomores
Doug Shevchik (Aliquippa) and Dave Zuchelli (Ridgeway) who
paced the frosh dash men.
Letterman Dale Seifert (North East) will lead the field
over the timbers. The speedy junior set a new Edinboro record
in the 440 intermediate hurdles last spring with a :58.5
clocking. Backing his efforts against the barriers are sopho
mores Eric Schwartz(North East) and George Simko (Bethel Park).
Veterans Norm Eaton (Springdale) and Jack Horton fonn the
440 contingent while Bob Gomy (Pittsburgh) and Joe Robb (Tur
bo tville) will carry the Highlanders' hopes in the 880.
The mile and 2-mile runs will be anchored by junior Cliff
Kirschner (N. Versailles) with newcomers Rich Kaleida (Conneautville) and John Plakidas (Pittsburgh) teaming up to as
sault the oval.
John Gillette, a sophomore from Albion who set a new Ed
inboro discus mark last year with a heave of 133'7", has con
tinued to improve and should prove to be an outstanding per
former in a varsity uniform. Gillette and tri-captain Cincala
could give the Clan a strong 1-2 combination in the platter
spinning event.
-20-
other returners to watch include;
Dennis Como (Houston).
in the jumping events, Ron PaJ.yo (Greenville) in the shot put,
Ron Demar (Union City) in the pole vault and Mike B^tfalvi
(Coraopolis) in the hurdles. Sophomore Mike Hauser (Aliquippa)
will combine his efforts with Demar in the pole vault compe
tition.
The jumping events should be strengthened with the ad
dition of Joe Booker (Leechburg) and Larry Mathis (Washington)
who are both sophomores.
Mathis shined for the Highlander
frosh last spring in the long jump.
Edinboro opens its cinder season in a triangular meet
against Geneva and St. Francis at Geneva on April 15.
The
Scots then travel to Slippery Rock on April 19 to compete against the Rockets and Grove City in a battle of powerhouses.
Grove. City has finished undefeated for the past 3 years while
riding a 28-meet winning streak and Slippery Rock captured the
1968 Pennsylvania State Colleges championship.
