Why Panther;

The Panther (felis concolor) was adopted as
the University of Pittsburgh’s mascot at a meet-
ing of student and alumni leaders in the early

J ,9.‘  autumn of 1909. According to George M. P.
' 5 ,_-J, J) Baird, ’09, who made the suggestion, it was
_  chosen for the following reasons: (1) the Panther

/   W ._ was the most formidable creature once indige-
,-’, / fit: ' "* nous to the’ Pittsburgh region; (2) it had ancient,

« 7», ‘’fi, ‘ \ heraldic standing as a noble animal; (3) the hap-
( ‘ll 1,‘ ll ’ py accident of alliteration; (4) the close approxi-
l\‘\, mation of its hue to the old gold of the Uni-
\\ . versity’s colors (old gold and blue), hence its

 “ ‘— .,__..,j easy adaptability in decoration; and (5) the fact

“" -9' ‘ that no other college or university then employed

it as a symbol.

l 970 Outlook:

The Pitt Panther Is Back

Last season was a year of regaining
football respectability for Pitt after five
disastrous years. 1970 could be a year
of winning—perhaps big.

Carl DePasqua, in his first season as a
head coach at Pitt, resurrected a phrase
long missing from this tradition rich school
—pride. Taking a club that had gone 3-27
in the previous three years, DePasqua
guided the 1969 team to a 4-6 mark and
more importantly, instilled a winning atti-
tude.

Without question, Pitt could have one of
the East’s top teams in 1970. Last year
the Panthers topped Syracuse, Army and
Navy in the East, with the only loss to an
Eastern team coming against nationally
second-ranked Penn State. This season,
Pitt returns 30 lettermen, including 13
starters, to go along with what DePasqua
expects to be continued improvement and
“a good carry-over” in the basic funda-
mentals of his system.

“We’ll have a good football team,” De-
Pasqua says in what for him is a rare,
optimistic statement. He quickly adds a
mild warning, though, that “there are too

ll

. . . we'll have a good football
team . . . let's just say we're
hopeful of bettering last year’s
record and let everyone
deduct from that what
they want."

many intangibles to predict'how many
games we’re going to win or lose. Let’s
just say that we’re hopeful of bettering
last year’s record and let everyone deduct
from that what they want.”

Receiving ace Steve Moyer is back.

There’s little question that Pitt has the

potential for its best season since 1963
when the Panthers went 9-1 and were #3

in the country. There’s also little question
that there are weaknesses on the team
that will have to be solved before the
opener Sept. 19th against UCLA.

Chief among the question marks is the
quarterback spot where the first three
signal callers last year have graduated.
A two-way battle for the job developed
during spring drills and DePasqua says the
position is still a “toss up” between junior
injury redshirt Dave Havern and sopho-
more John Hogan. DePasqua also has
some reservations about the defensive
backfield where two regulars are gone,
and the offensive line which has plenty of
potential but is unproven.

On the plus side, Pitt is loaded with a
bevy of big, fast running backs, and has a
burly veteran defensive unit returning
nearly entact. The offensive backs were so
impressive during spring drills that De-

Pitt’s best ground gainer since 1952, Tony
Esposito, also returns.

Pasqua was able to install the triple option
to go along with Pitt’s basis offensive for-
mation—the flanker set. Defensively, Pitt
will be both big and experienced, and led
by All-American candidates Ralph Cindrich
at linebacker and Lloyd Weston at tackle.

Pitt could have its most explosive offen-
sive team since 1963. The Panther running

. . . the quarterback job is still
a toss-up, there are some
reservations about the
defensive backfield, and the
offensive line is unproven.

backs are excellent, the receivers are
good, and the quarterbacking situation is
not nearly as dire as it looks on paper.
During spring drills the offensive team
moved the football consistently against the
defense—something that has not happened
at Pitt in the last four or five years.

Quarterbacks Havern and Hogan both
sparkled during the spring, running the
triple option offense like veterans. Havern,
perhaps, is the better runner, while Hogan
appears to have a slight edge in the throw-
ing department. “They both have quick
feet and good skills,” DePasqua noted.

Havern can’t really be classed as a new-
comer. Although he sat out all last season
with mononucelous, the 5-9 mini-quarter-
back was a regular two years ago setting
three school passing records and throwing
for-1810 yards (15th in the NCAA). Hogan
was one of DePasqua’s prize recruiting
catches a year ago and he appeared to
live up to his clippings during the spring.

Behind the quarterback, DePasqua will
have six strong running backs to pick
from—Tony Esposito, Phil Sgrignoli and
Lou Julian at fullback, and Dennis Ferris,
Dave Garnett and John Moss at halfback.
Esposito and Ferris are both two-year reg-
ulars and will probably get the call again
this year. Esposito, a burly 6-1, 230-pound-
er, gained 743 yards last season, the most
for a Pitt back since 1952. Ferris, who has
great outside speed, tacked on 459 yards.
They could well be the best one-two run-
ning punch in the East.

Sgrignoli (5-11, 220) and Julian (6-0,
212) give Pitt tank-like replacements at full-
back,.while speedsters Garnett (6-2, 215)
and Moss (6-4, 224) will be fighting for
Ferris’ spot. There is a strong possibility
that either Garnett or Moss could be
switched to the flanker position in order
to get them into the lineup at the same
time as Ferris. During spring drills, sopho-
more Jim Parros (6-2, 185) held down the
flanker job.

On the offensive line, Pitt doesn’t have
a lot of. experience but DePasqua was
pleased with what he saw at the end of
spring drills. The probable lineup here
shows: Bob Kuziel (Jr., 6-4, 227) at cen-
ter; John Simpson (Jr. 6-1, 240) and Dan
Lynn (Jr., 6-1, 215) at guard; Bruce Harkie-
wicz (Sr., 6-2, 230) and Ernie Webster (So.,
6-4, 235) at tackle; Joel Klimek (Jr., 6-2,
215) at tight end, and Steve Moyer (Jr.,
6-0, 190) at split end. Also slated to see

plenty of action are Bill Beinecke (Sr., 6-3,
242) and Tom Porreca (Sr., 6-3, 235) at
tackle; Joe Baranick (Jr., 5-11, 218), Rick
Lozier (So., 6-1, 235) and Brad Bekampis
(Jr., 6-0, 224) at guard; Bill Pilconis (Sr.,
6-6, 207) at tight end, and Doug Ginden
(Jr., 6-5, 210) at split end.

". . . Cindrich is the soul of
our defense . . . a great
football player.”

The receivers appear to be excellent.
Moyer hauled in 48 passes last year, only
two short of the school record, and could
end up Pitt’s all-time top receiver. Pil-
conis is a two-year regular, while Klimek
and Ginden both had good springs.

Defensively, Pitt is solid. Seven regulars
return from a good defensive team last
year, led by All-American candidates Cind-
rich (Jr., 6-1, 220) and Weston (Sr., 6-1,
235). Cindrich, who led Pitt in tackles
eight out of ten games last season, has
been called by DePasqua as the best line-
backer at Pitt since Joe Schmidt. “He's a

great football player,” DePasqua says, “the
soul of our defense.” Weston anchors
the front-four with superb quickness and
strength. He ranks as one of P-itt’s best
defensive tackles in a number of years.

In addition to Cindrich and Weston,
other returning regulars are John Stevens
(Sr., 6-2, 250) at tackle; Jack Dykes (Jr.,
6-1, 230) at end; Joe Carroll (Jr., 6-1,
218) at linebacker; and Charlie Hall (Sr.,
6-1, 200) and Bryant Salter (Sr., 6-4, 193)
at defensive back.

Hank Alford, a 6-6, 240-pound junior
who saw considerable action last season,
and sophomore Richard Oldshue (6-5, 235)
are battling for the other defensive end
spot. Hardhitting senior Bob Baierl (6-1,
205) and sometimes regular Dave McGrath
(Sr., 6-2, 225) will probably join Cindrich
and Carroll at the linebacking corps. In
addition to Hall and Salter in the defensive
backfield, DePasqua can pick from among
Mike Bannan (Sr., 6-0, 195), J. D. Lewis
(Sr., 6-2, 192), Bill Ramos (Sr., 5-11, 200)
or Andy Mollura (Jr., 5-11, 205).

All in all, there is an enthusiasm at Pitt
this year that appears to be justified for
the first time since 1963. The long lost
Pitt Panther should be back.

 

All-American candidate, Ralph Cindrich, will anchor the defensive charge.

Spring Game

Due to injuries to the quarterbacks, Carl DePasqua played an offensive
vs. defense type of game with no one permitted to tackle the quarterback.
The offense was given the ball on 17 different series and scored four
touchdowns. Quarterback Dave Havern led the first-unit offense by hitting
on 15-25 passes for 179 yards. Tom Hasbach completed 6-12 tosses for
67 yards, while John Hogan did not play because of a shoulder injury.
Fullback Tony Esposilto and halfback John Moss were the top two ground-
gainers with Esposito rambling for 68 yards in 11 carries and Moss adding
59 yards in 11 tries. Esposito had the game’s longest run, a 47-yard burst
up the middle. Split end Doug Ginden was the top receiver with six
catches for 61 yards. A crowd of over 4,000 watched under sunny skies
as touchdowns were scored by Esposito, Dennis Ferris, Dave Garnett and
Cleveland Edwards.

DR. WESLEY W. POSVAR
Chancellor

In three short years since his appointment as chancellor
of the University on June 1, 1967, Dr. Wesley W. Posvar
has properly gained the reputation as Pitt’s Number One
sports fan.

A former athlete himself and a firm believer in inter-
collegiate sports within the framework of the academic
structure, Dr. Posvar has attended all but one Pitt football
game in three years and is a frequent visitor to practice
and other athletic functions. He is also a believer in
winning, and has pledged to give Pitt a solid athletic
program.

“Academically,” Dr. Posvar told a group of sportswriters on one away trip last year,
“Pitt is one of the finest universities in the country. That's a fact and we mean to keep
it that way. But let me tell you something—we’re going to have sports teams to match,
and that goes for every sport, starting with football and working down the line. That’s a
pledge.”

His sincere efforts to build a winning football program at Pitt have not gone unnoticed
by the football players themselves. Last season following Pitt’s 46-19 victory over Navy,
the players presented the game ball to him in a noisy locker room celebration. He con-
siders it one of his prized possessions.

A former Rhodes Scholar and Chairman of the Social Sciences Division at the Air
Force Academy, Dr. Posvar is Pitt’s 15th chancellor. A holder of five academic degrees,
his scholarly achievements have gained him national attention.

Dr. Posvar graduated first in his class from West Point in 1946, achieving one of the
highest grades in the Academy’s history. He subsequently was a Rhodes Scholar at
Oxford University from 1948-51, receiving both his B.A. and M.A. in Philosophy, Politics
and Economics. He also earned the Master of Public Administration and the Ph.D. in
political science from Harvard in 1964.

CASIMIR J. MYSLINSKI
Athletic Director

It didn’t take long for Casimir Myslinski to live up to
his word.

At his first press conference after being named Athletic
Director at Pitt on Dec. 24, 1968, Myslinski made one
lasting impression. He intended to win.

“My entire aim is to bring the athletic program back to
the heights it deserves,” Myslinski told the assembled
sports media representatives. “And, I don't just mean
football; I mean all sports. There's no doubt about it, Pitt
athletics belong on top. We intend to be major league,
and we intend to win.”

in his first full year as AD, Myslinski fulfilled his pledge. This past sports year Pitt
completed its best athletic season in the last 11 years, and its first winning year since
1962-63. The Panthers compiled a mark of 81-63-2 in 13 sports, a winning percentage
of .563, the best at Pitt since 1958-59.

Following graduation from West Point, he entered the Air Force. In 1952 he returned
to West Point as Deputy Head of the Department of Physical Education, and moved from
there in 1956 to Head of the Department of Physical Education at the United States Air
Force Academy in Colorado.

A former All-American football player at Army under coach Earl (Red) Blaik, Myslinski
has a long and distinguished career in athletics as a player, coach and administrator.
Following graduation from high school, he enrolled at the U.S. Military Academy where
the famous Earl Blaik was turning out some of the best college football teams in the nation.

Myslinski captained the 1943 Army team and was named to every first team All-American
squad at center. He graduated from Army in 1944 with a B.S. in engineering and subse-
quently earned a Masters in Education from Teachers’ College, Columbia University.

Born on March 6, 1920, in Steubenville, Ohio, Myslinski and his wife, Eleanor, have four
children—Linda, 20; Patricia, 19; Michael, 16, and Dorothy, 14.

CARL A.

DePASQUA

Head
Football Coach

 

It is hard to imagine any
football coach who took a job
under more difficult circum-
stances. A national sports
magazine had headlined the
story, “Doesn’t Anybody Here
Want This Football Job?”

Pitt, once a power in major
college football circles, had
reached an all-time low. in
three years, the once-proud
Panthers had lost 27 of 30
football games, most of them
by unbelievably large margins.
in one game alone, the op-
ponent had secretly agreed to
let the clock run in the second
half to hold down the score
which had reached 49-0 by
halftime.

The search for a new coach
began, but the troubles piled
up even deeper. One national-
ly prominent coach took the
job, and five days later backed
out of the contract. Then un-
der the glare of television
lights and a big buildup, two
more “big name” coaches
were flown to Pittsburgh-
only to turn thumbs down and
leave Pitt with two more black
eyes.

“What’s wrong with Carl DePasqua?” an angry alumnus kept asking people at the
annual NCAA coaches convention which was being held simultaneously to the Pitt coach-
ing “parade.” It was a question hundreds of Pitt alumni had been asking. They couldn't
understand why Pitt was looking elsewhere for a coach when a Pitt man had all the
qualifications.

11

Neither could this particular alumnus.
His name was Carl DePasqua.

New Athletic Director Casimir Mys|in-
ski, who had just taken over the job of
hiring a new coach, agreed that DePasqua
was a natural. It was a choice that he
hasn’t since regretted.

With squad morale at rock-bottom and
a number of athletes threatening to leave
school, DePasqua began preparations for
spring drills. He assembled his team for
the first time in a lecture room and told
them one thing-——“We are going to win.
I've been with winners. My staff’s been
with winners. We all know what it is to
w_in. That’s precisely what we’re going to
do here.”

It didn’t take the players long to find
out what DePasqua meant. In fact, it took
about one week of spring drills. There
were no emotional outbursts, no yelling,
no slapping and no swearing. The order
of the day was just plain, old basic funda-
mental football.

“We’re going to play fundamentally
sound footba|l—Western Pennsylvania
style,” DePasqua announced. ‘‘I won’t
make any predictions but I promise you
this. We'll know how to block and tackle.
We’ll do our talking on the field.”

Slowly, but ever so surely, a change
took place. The players were taught how
to block and tackle, then they began be-

". . . We are going to win,"
DePasqua said at the first
squad meeting. "We're going
to play fundamentally sound
footba||—Western
Pennsylvania style"

lieving in the coaches, and finally they
believed in themselves. Spring practice
had been successful.

Then came the fall, and Pitt fans and
opponents could see the change right
away. Here was a Pitt team of old—hard
hitting, strong and fundamentally sound.
The 4-6 record could just as easily been
5-5, but more importantly, Pitt was com-
petitive in every game.

In one short year, DePasqua had per-
formed a minor miracle.

Pitt’s 26th head coach has been a prom-
inent name in the Tri-State coaching cir-
cles since he joined the Pitt staff as a
defensive backfield coach in 1958. A man
familiar with the area and the University,
he is regarded as an astute observer of
the game and a sound, fundamental coach.

DePasqua is the seventh former Panther
player to return to his alma mater as the
head coach. An outstanding Pitt back
from 1946-49, he played under Wes Fesler
(1946) and Mike Milligan. Coming to Pitt
from Williamsport High School where he
captained both the football and basketball
teams to brilliant records, DePasqua was a

. . . his players refer to him
fondly as the ‘Pizza King’.

starting quarterback as a freshman, a half-
back as a sophomore, and then a fullback
on two winning teams as a junior and a
senior. All this while weighing only 160
pounds. ’

Following graduation from Pitt in 1950,
DePasqua spent two years in the Army and
then returned to Pitt to earn a Master’s. de-
gree and coach part-time. He coached in
Canada in 1955, went into the pizza busi-

, ness in Pittsburgh for two years, and then

12

joined John Michelosen’s Pitt staff in 1958.
(His players now sometimes fondly refer
to him as the ‘Pizza King’!)

After eight years as a defensive special-
ist on the Pitt staff, DePasqua was named
head coach at Waynesburg (Pa.) College
in 1966, where he produced two of the
finest small college teams in the nation.
In two years his teams lost just once
(17-1) while winning the NAIA champion-
ship his first year and losing 7-0 to the
eventual national champions his second
season. His clubs at Waynesburg broke
nearly all the school records on the books.

From Waynesburg, DePasqua gained
valuable experience on the professional
level by joining the Pittsburgh Steeler
staff in 1968 as the defensive line coach.

A resident of Pittsburgh, he and his
wife, Catherine, have two children-—Dana,
13, and John 5. DePasqua was born
October 28, 1927. .

Lou 'BIMBO' ceccom
Offensive Coordinator

The first man Carl DePasqua named to his staff was
Lou ‘Bimbo’ Cecconi, a former great Pitt player and a
Panther coach for eight years. He played in the same
Panther backfield as DePasqua from 1946-49. He is 41.

A 1946 graduate of Donora High (Pa.), Cecconi was one
of the top all-around athletes in the school’s history. He
won 11 letters in football, basketball, baseball and track,
and was named all-WPIAL in both football and basketball.
As a quarterback he led his team to an undefeated season
and the WPIAL championship, and in basketball to the

 

State finals.

From Donora he moved to Pitt where he starred, winning eight letters in football and
basketball. A four-year regular in football as a quarterback and halfback, he captained
the Panthers his senior year. He was named an All-East halfback his senior year, and
played in the North-South game. In addition, he won the Dapper Dan Outstanding Player
Award in 1948 and 1949.

A 1950 Pitt graduate, he began his coaching career immediately following graduation as
an assistant coach at Donora High. Following two years in the Army, he was named head
football, basketball and baseball coach at Sharpsburg High where his grid team compiled
a 27-10-10 mark in five years.

in 1958 he was named an assistant coach at Pitt and he served John Michelosen’s staff
as freshman coach, backfield coach and offensive coach from 1958-65. For three years
he served as offensive coach at Indiana State of Terre Haute (|nd.) where his offense
averaged over 30 points per game last year.

Married, he and his wife, Vilma, have five children——Louis, 18; Anne, 16; Paula, 15,
Mary 13; and Virginia 12. Lou is a freshman football player at Pitt.

SERAFINO 'FOGE' FAZIO
Defensive Line

A former outstanding Pitt player, Serafino ‘Foge’ Fazio
adds a fine blend of youth and experience to the Panther
coaching staff. He is 31.

A native of nearby Coraopolis, Fazio was an all-WPIAL
center and linebacker at Coraopolis High School. Moving
to Pitt, he was the Panther’s starting center in 1958 and
1959, winning the MVP Award his senior year in addition
to being named to the All-East squad and honorable
mention All-American. He also was chosen to play in the
North-South Game and the All-American Bowl.

A fifth-round draft choice of the Boston Patriots, he
decided on coaching instead of playing and started his career as an assistant coach at
Coraopolis High in 1962. He left Coraopolis for two years to take the job as defensive
coordinator at Ambridge High School (Pa.), but returned in 1965 as head coach. in two
years at his alma mater his teams compiled a 13-4-1 record while winning the Ohio Valley
Conference championship.

In 1967 Fazio moved to the college coaching ranks as offensive line coach and head
freshman coach at Boston University. His Boston frosh were 5-1.

In 1968 Fazio was the defensive line coach at Harvard, a team that tied for the ivy
League Championship with an 8-0-1 mark. Defensively, the team ranked third in the nation
against scoring, and 13th in the country in total defense.

Married, he and his wife, Norma, have one girl—Kristen, 2.

TOM FLETCHER
Defensive Coordinator

"Long associated with winning football on the collegiate
level, Torn Fletcher brings to the Panther defense an out-
standing reputation and background. He is 44.

A top back at Arizona State, he was named an All-
Conference defensive back before graduating in 1954.
Drafted in the 11th round by the San Francisco 49ers, an
ankle injury ended his pro playing career during his first
yeah

He started his coaching career as defensive backfield
coach at Arizona State, and during his four years on the
staff, Arizona State compiled a 33-7-1 record. When Dan
Devine was named head coach at Missouri in 1958, he asked Fletcher to join him as back-
field coach. In eight years at Missouri, Fletcher coached both the offensive and defensvie
backfields as the Tigers compiled a 58-20-6 mark and seven times ranked in the Top 20
en route to four major bowl appearances.

 

In 1966 Fletcher joined Bill Austin’s staff of the Pittsburgh Steelers as defensive back-
field coach where he spent three years.

Married, he and his wife, Fran, have two girls—Susan, 9; and Sandra, 8.

ERNIE HEFFERLE
Offensive Line

Ernie Hefferle, an assistant football coach at Pitt for 12
years, and for the past four years offensive line coach of
the Miami Dolphins, was named offensive line coach at
Pitt this past spring.

Hefferle, who has the reputation of turning out the finest
ends in Pitt history, brings to Pitt a wide range of expe-
rience on both the collegiate and professional level. A
former Duquesne University end, Hefferle holds the Orange
Bowl record for the longest pass reception when he beat
Mississippi State in 1937 with a 69-yard pass catch. He
began his coaching career at South Huntingdon Twp. (Pa.)
where he had a four year record of 25-10-4, and then moved on to Tarentum High School
for two seasons.

Hefferle began his association with Pitt in 1951 when he was named freshman coach.
The next season he moved to the varsity staff as end coach where he produced such
All-Americans as Joe Walton, Mike Ditka and ‘Mean’ John Paluck.

years and then returned to Pitt as offensive line coach from 1962-64.

Hefferle jumped into the pro ranks, joining the Pittsburgh Steelers as offensive line
coach in 1965. He was named offensive line coach of the Miami Dolphins in 1966 and
served there through the 1968 season.

A Brief Look at Pitt's

LLOYD WESTON

6-1, 235-pound senior tackle

Pitt’s best defensive tackle in a num-
ber of years, Weston has got to rate as
one of the top defensive tackle pros-
pects in the country. Possessed of cat-
like quickness, he also has tremendous
strength and an excellent ‘nose’ for the
football. Named last year to the ECAC
All-East first-team, and to a number of
All-Opponent squads. Weston came to
Pitt highly heraled as the finest school-
boy lineman ever to come out of the city
~’ of Pittsburgh. At Westinghouse High

W School he won every honor there was to
win including first-team Scholastic Mag-
azine All-American. Possibly the most
sought-after high school lineman in the
nation his senior year, he was called by
one Big Ten coach “the finest high
school lineman we’ve seen in the last
15 years.” Along with Cindrich, had an
outstanding freshman year at Pitt, and
big things were expected of him as a
sophomore. Early in his sophomore
year, Lloyd sustained a bad knee injury
and then two games later he injured the
other knee. Hobbled by these injuries,
and switched from linebacker to defen-
sive end, he did not have the kind of
year people were expecting of him. Last
season was a different story, though.
Placed at defensive tackle and free of
injuries, Weston anchored the left side
of Pitt’s defensive front superbly. Had
his best game against Notre Dame when
he made 16 tackles, 6 of them unas-
sisted from the defensive tackle posi-
tion . . . Married, he and his wife Yvonne
have two children . . . Majoring in sociol-
ogy, Lloyd plans to be a doctor some

day.
18

All-American Candidates

RALPH CINDRICH

6-1, 220-pound junior linebacker

Considered Pitt’s best linebacker
since the days of All-American Joe
Schmidt, now coach of the Detroit Lions.
Led Pitt in tackles in eight of ten games,
while drawing raves from opposing
coaches and fans. Named to Foot-
ball New’s Sophomore All-American
first team, AP All-East first team
and a flood of All-Opponent teams. Pre-
Season selected to Football New’s All-
American first team and is slated to be
selected to a number of other pre-sea-
son All-American squads. Had his best
games last year against Pitt’s toughest
foes with 18 or more tackles against
UCLA, Oklahoma, Penn State and Notre
Dame. Says coach Carl DePasqua:
“l’ve been coaching in major college
football for 17 years and l’ve seen many
top athletes, but in all my years of coach-
ing l’ve never used the term ‘great’ in
defining any of them. However, with
Ralph Cindrich, l have no reservations
whatsoever in using the word ‘great’
There's no question in my mind he re-
sembles and typifies one of the great
Pitt linebackers of all time, Joe Schmidt.
He was the soul of our defense last year,
leading us in tackles, leadership and
consistent performance game after
game.” Came from a small class B
school (Avella), so he never made the
All-State team in high school. However,
he was selected to the famous Pa. Big
33 team, and after the game with the
Texas All-Stars, coach Bobby Layne
called him the “best player on the field.”
Had a tremendous freshman year at Pitt,
and was pre-season picked by Sports
illustrated as one of the top five sopho-
mores in the country. Opened the sea-
son by making 17 tackles against UCLA
but was injured in the game and missed
the rest of the year. Came back from the
leg injury to win the Eastern heavyweight
wrestling championship and finish fourth
in the nationals as a sophomore. Re-
ceived a football injury red-shirt, and
performed last year as a sophomore.
Said one coach after watching Cindrich,
“there isn’t a better linebacker in the
country. If he doesn’t make All-American
nobody should” . . . This past summer,
Ralph worked in a law firm in Down-
town Pittsburgh . . . A top student, he
twice has neen named to the Dean's List
as an English major . . . Hobbies are
hunting, fishing and gun collecting . . .

Panthers Have Varied Interests

Pitt has always been extremely proud of the records its athletes have attained following gradua-
tion. Pitt players on the 1970 squad are planning an interesting variety of careers as evidenced by
the wide range of curricula majors. And, many of them are excellent students,-too.

Game Notes: UCLA will be seeking its sixth straight win over Pitt, most of them by lop-
sided scores . . . Last year’s score, however, was very misleading. UCLA exploited three
Pitt opening game mistakes for long bombs and the big score . . . In that game,, qb
Dennis Dummit, who returns this year, completed 11-16 passes for 258 yards and 3 TDs.
. . . Pitt halfback Dennis Ferris rushed for 48 yards on 7 carries before being injured

early in the second quarter . . . In five seasons at UCLA, Tom Prothro has had only one
losing year.

Game Notes: Dave Puddington led Kent State to a 5-5 record year in his second season
of rebuilding the Golden Flashes’ program . . . Kent State is led by two All—Mid-American
choices last season, fullback Don Nottingham and center Fred Blosser . . . Nottingham
rushed for 990 yards in just eight games last season . . . This marks the 50th season
of football at Kent State, but the first that includes Pitt on the schedule . . . Says
Puddington, “We are swinging into the new decade on a positive, upswing note. We
feel we can be a contender in the most challenging schedule facing us. We will be
strong up the middle like baseball, at center, quarterback, fullback and tailback. We
have more skill this season and more athletes.”

Game Notes: Although Miami has won the last three games, the Hurricanes lead the

series by only a 7-6-1 edge . . . The Hurricanes were 4-6 last year, but are expecting
bigger things this season . . . In the 1968 game Miami pasted Pitt 48-0, limiting Pitt
to just 149 yards total offense while gaining 488 themselves . . . In that game, Dave
Garnett, who returns this season, rushed for 51 yards in 11 carries to lead Pitt's rushing
attack . . . This game marks the close of the present series between the two schools.

Pitt Stadium, with a seating capacity of
57,331, is generally considered one of the
finest football stadiums, spectator-wise, in
the East. Every seat in the oval shaped
stadium is a good one for viewing football.

Opened in 1925 at a cost of $2,125,000,
the stadium originally seated 67,000. Vari-
ous seats were later taken out to provide
better access to all of the seats. The sta-
dium plant itself encompasses 10 acres
with an outer circumference of one-half
mile. Besides the football field, facilities
include a band room, a 440-yard track and

Pit tacliurn  Horne of the Panther

dressing rooms.

The first game was played in 1925 when
Pitt defeated Washington & Lee, 28-0. Dur-
ing the next four seasons, the Panthers
played 30 of their 34 games in the Stadium.
The single-game attendance record was set
in 1938 when 68,918 fans jammed every
corner of the Stadium to see Pitt top Ford-
ham, 24-13. The one-season attendance
record was set in 1956 when 239,718 peo-
ple watched the Panthers in five games.
The average game attendance of 47,944 is
also a Stadium record.

Eighty Years of Panthers

Pitt football began when the Uni-
versity was known as the Western
University of Pennsylvania in 1890,
but the Panthers did not begin their
march into the front line powers for
another decade.

In 1904 the Western University of
Pennsylvania eleven, had its first
winning streak. Sparking this team
was Joe Thompson, World War I
fame.

He took over as coach after his

graduation, and in 1910 turned out

an undefeated, untied, and un-
scored on eleven.

In 1914 under Joe Duff, brother
of the former U.S. Senator, the Pan-
thers prepared for the event of Pop
Warner, by losing only one game.

Not until mid-1919 did the Blue
and Gold bow in intercollegiate
competition. Thirty-two consecutive
victories were recorded.

The 1916 Pitt team turned up with
an innovation, for which millions of
football fans have since given
thanks. In addition to being unde-
feated, the Panthers, under Warner,
were the first to wear numbers.

During this period the first All-
American appeared. Bob Peck in
1915 and 1916, and rated as one of
the great All-Time All-Americans at
center, Tom Davies, at halfback and
Leonard Hilty at tackle in 1918 were
some of the stars of the era.

Famous then, and more famous
later, players were a big Scotch
guard by the name of Jock Suther-
land; the 1917 captain and end, now
Dr. H. C. Carlson, for 31 years head
coach of basketball at his alma
mater; and Tiny Thornhill, who went
on to coach Stanford's Rose Bowl
teams.

Perfect seasons were out after
1919, but they still were winning
years. Herb Stein, a center, joined
the list of All-Americas, and Harvey
Harmon played a lot of tackle.

52

In 1924, Jock Sutherland began a
15 year regime, which started slow-
ly but ended with the Panthers en-
sconced among the mighty.

Only 20 games were lost during
this period, and another 11 were
tied. Eastern titles came in 1925,
1927, 1929, 1931, 1932, 1934 and
1937. Four times the Panthers
showed in the Rose Bowl, winning
the final game in 1937 against
Washington.

All-Americas during the period
were Ralph Chase in 1925 at tackle,
Gibby Welch at halfback in 1927,
Mike Getto at tackle in 1928, Ray
Montgomery at guard and Joe Don-
chess at end in 1929, Jess Quatse
at tackle in 1931, Warren Heller at
halfback in 1932, Joe Skladany at
end in 1933, Doc Hartwig at guard
and George Shotwell at center in
1934, Averell Daniell at tackle in
1936, Marshall Goldberg at half-
back and Tony Matisi at tackle in
1937, and Goldberg and Bill Daddio
at end in 1938.

On the All-America rolls since
Sutherland were Ralph Fife in 1941,
Bernie Barkouskie, in 1949, and Joe
Schmidt, in 1952, all guards; Eldred
Kraemer, a tackle in 1952, Joe Wal-
ton, a unanimous choice at end in
1956, guard John Guzik in 1958 and
end Mike Ditka in 1960.

Sutherland left in 1938 and the
Pitt power fell off for the next ten
years. Charley Bowser was suc-
ceeded by Clark Shaughnessy who
held sway during World War II. Wes
Fesler brightened the picture in
1946, and was followed by Mike
Milligan who turned in the first win-
ning teams of a decade in both
1948 and 1949.

When Milligan resigned in 1950,
Len Casanova came in to take over
for that year, but left the following
summer. In 1951 Athletic Director

Pitt Hall of Fame Awarclees

Thus far the University of Pittsburgh has had five players and one coach elected to
the National Hall of Fame. Jock Sutherland, a great guard from 1914 through 1917, and
Pitt’s brilliantly successful coach from 1924 through 1938, was elected in 1953 being
among the first coaches named.

In 1954 Bob Peck, Pitt’s first All-American (center in 1915 and 1916), was elected as
the first Pitt player to have his name placed on the honor roll.

in 1958, Marshall Goldberg, an All-American halfback in 1937 and an All-America full-
back in 1938, was elected.

In 1965, George McLaren, an All-America fullback in 1917 and 1918, was elected.

in 1967, Herb Stein, an All-America center in 1921, was elected.

in 1970, Tom Davies, an All-America halfback in 1918 and 1920, was elected.

Jock Sui-hefland Americas were turned out with regularity
during this period.

wing attack which Warner was then per-
fecting.

After his graduation he moved to Culver
Military Academy where he was athletic
director and head coach until his sudden
death in 1934.

Marshall Goldberg

Marshall Goldberg came to Pitt from
Elkins, West Virginia, and for the three
years of his varsity career was the most
highly publicized and popular back in Pitt
history. These three years, coincidental
with Jock Sutherland’s last three as Pitt’s
head coach, saw the Panthers win a na-
tional title, a Rose Bowl game, and two
eastern championships.

In two years as the regular left halfback
Goldberg was the leading scorer and lead-
ing ground gainer, and then, moving to full-
back with the famous Dream Backfield of
1938, he became a terrific blocker and
power back, despite his relative lack of
weight (185). He was a defensive expert
during his three years and starred at this
phase when he went into pro ball.

On campus he was a member of Phi
Epsilon Pi, national social fraternity, and
ODK, national honorary leadership society.

Upon graduation he played pro ball and
was in the insurance business in Chicago,
served nearly four years as a line officer in
the Navy, and then finished his pro career
with the Chicago Cardinals when they won
their first title. He is vice president of the
Emmerman Machinery Company in Chi-
cago.

George McLaren

George McLaren, who came to Pitt from
Peabody High School, is considered the
greatest fullback in the school’s history.

He played four ' years, 1915-1918, and
during this period, the Panthers compiled
a 29-0 record. McLaren was captain of the
1918 team. McLaren scored 13 touchdowns

in 1917, a school record, and also holds
the one-season rushing mark by a Pitt full-
back with 782 yards. He also holds the
longest run from scrimmage, 92 yards in
1917. He was never stopped without mak-
ing a gain during his intercollegiate career.

McLaren also was a member of the bas-
ketball team for two years and a performer
on the track squad for two campaigns.

McLaren now resides in Baltimore, Mary-
land, and is retired.

Herb Stein

Herb Stein came to Pitt from Warren,
Ohio, and for four years was one of the
greatest offensive and defensive centers in
Panther history.

A member of the great “Pop” Warner
teams in 1918-21, he was named as a first-
team All-American in 1921. During his four
years, Pitt won 21, lost five and tied four.
His brother, Russ, was also an All-American
tackle at Washington & Jefferson.

Now a highly successful business execu-
tive, Stein owns and operates nine corpora-
tions. He resides in Cleveland, Ohio.

Tom Davies

A two-time All-American halfback, Tom
Davies ranks as one of Pitt’s greatest
backs. After prepping at Kiski, Davies
entered Pitt in 1918 and was named on
the late Walter Camp’s All-America team
as a freshman under Glenn Scobie (Pop)
Warner. Davies was a regular for four
seasons and was again named All-America
in 1920. He holds three Pitt punt return
records and ranks second in the all-time
total yards gained department with 3,931
yards.

Following graduation from Pitt, Tom
spent 25 years as a coach at Penn, Geneva,
Allegheny, Rochester, Kiski, Scranton and
Western Reserve.

A retired insurance executive, he keeps
his interest in the gridiron sport by serving
as treasurer of the Curbstone Coaches in
Pittsburgh.

Voice of the Panthers

A three-man broadcasting crew that is nationally known, yet Pittsburgh
oriented, will handle all the Pitt football games this Fall over WTAE Radio (1250).

 
 
 

The games will also be carried throughout the State on
a 20-station network with WTAE acting as the parent
station.

Ed Conway, recently named the Outstanding TV
Sportscaster in Pittsburgh and the Sports Director of
WTAE-TV, will begin his first year as p|ay—by—play man.
He will be assisted by Bill Hillgrove, WTAE music and
sports personality, and Myron Cope, well-known both
nationally and locally as author and radio-TV commen-
tator. Hillgrove will aid Conway as the color commen-
tator, while Cope will handle halftime commentaries.

Conway, who has been sports director of WTAE-TV
since 1961, is one of the most popular and most famil-
ialr sports-casters. in the Tri-State area. A native of
Baltimore, Md., Ed began his career in 1953 as sports
director of WORK, York, Pa. Since joining WTAE he
has done play-by—play on Pittsburgh Penguin hockey
broadcasts, the annual PIAA state basketball cham-
pionships, and has produced several award-winning
sports specials on the Pirates, Steelers and annual
PGA golf tournaments.

Hillgrove will be starting his first season on the foot-
ball broadcasts after handling the play-by—play of all
Pitt basketball games last season. He has parlayed an
extensive knowledge of sports and several years of
broadcast experience into a highly successful music/
sports program heard daily from 4 to 7 p.m. He holds
a bachelor’s degree in» radio/TV journalism from Du-
quesne University.

A life—|ong Pittsburgh resident, Cope is well known
both nationally and locally. in addition to being sports
director of WTAE Radio, Cope is one of Sports Illus-
traded’s six-man team of special contributors. He is
the author of three books—Jim Brown’s “Off My
Chest,” “Broken Cigars” and “The Game That Was.”
A 1929 Pitt graduate, he worked in newspapers and as
a free-lance writer before entering the radio/TV field
in 1968. His “Myron Cope on Sports” show is heard
three times daily on radio, and he does an additional
three TV commentaries per week. Among numerous
profession-al awards, Myron holds the 1964 E. P. Dutton
Prize for “Best Magazine Sportswriting” in the nation.

Stadium Gets Asl'roTu rf

It will be a ‘New Look’ Pitt Stadium this
Fall. Work was completed in August on
the installation of AstroTurf playing sur-
face and a 440-yard all-weather Tartan
track.

Pitt thus joins about 40 other schools
who have chosen AstroTurf to cover play-
ing fields. The deep green AstroTurf con-
trasts sharply with the brick-red Tartan
track to give Pitt Stadium an eye-catching
appearance.

68

Fall Camp

Pitt will open Fall drills on August 25th
at Allegheny College in Meadville, Pa. The
players will report to the Pitt campus on
Aug. 23rd for physicals, spend the 24th
clearing registration, and then depart for
camp that evening. One session will be
held on the 25th, and will be followed by
double sessions through the 31st. The
players will return to the Pitt campus on
September 1. Practice sessions on the
Pitt campus will be held in Pitt Stadium.

Memo to Press-Rodio- TV

This brochure has been prepared for the gentlemen of the working press, radio and
television who have so ably covered the Pitt athletic scene in the past years. We are ap-
preciative of their interest and attention, and it is hoped this brochure will assist them in
their coverage of the Pitt football team.

Contents of this booklet and changes in personnel and plans will be supplemented
before and during the season by the Sports Information Office. If you desire additional
information, services, or material, contact:

DEAN BILLICK
Sports Information Director
University of Pittsburgh
P.O. Box 7436
Pittsburgh, Pa. 15213

Office Telephone: 683-2800 (Code 412)
683-2805 (after 5 p.m.)

Home Telephone: 531-7701 (Code 412)

PRESS BOX: Due to lack of space, accommodations in
the press box will be furnished only to representatives
of Pittsburgh district papers, and from metropolitan
papers filing for Sunday editions, press services, Pitts-
burgh radio and TV sports commentators, and scouts
from schools playing either Pitt or its opponent. Requests should be made in advance,
indicating whether or not Western Union services will be needed during or after the game.
Those coming to the press box should have cabs take them to Gate #23, to avoid climbing
hills. This is located behind Pennsylvania Hall of the School of Medicine.

 

PHOTOGRAPHERS: Sideline passes will be issued to Pittsburgh papers, news services,
daily papers normally covering the opposing team, and student publications of the two
schools. Photographers may not work in front of the bench and must stay behind the line
and obey the instructions of the officer detailed to the area. Space in the photographers
stand is reserved for newspapers in the same manner as field passes, and also for news-
reel and game movie cameramen. This space must be requested in advance to insure
adequate space. Field photographers should enter Gate #3. Photographers covering
from the stand should use Gate #9.
