A Major Change in PITT FOOTBALL JOE AVEZZANO Offensive Line Johnny Majors has called Joe Avezzano one of the best offensive line coaches on the collegiate level at teaching pass protection. Although only 29, Avezzano has the background and knowledge to back up that statement. Born in Yonkers, N.Y., he graduated from Miami Jackson (Fla.) in 1961 with 11 letters in football, base ball and basketball. He was All-City in three sports, in addition to being class president and a member of the I honor society. In college, Joe lettered three years as a guard at Florida State, starting in the 36-19 Gator Bowl win over Oklahoma in 1965. Following graduation he played center for the Boston Patriots in 1966. He began his coaching career at Massillon High School in 1967, and moved from there to Florida State as a graduate assistant in charge of the freshman offense. In 1969 he was named freshman coach at Iowa State and moved to the varsity staff as offensive line coach in 1970. He served as the offensive line coach of the North team in the 1971 North-South game in Miami. Single, he resides in the Mt. Washington area of Pittsburgh. JIM DYAR Defensive Line Tough, yet enthusiastic and likeable, Jim Dyar is on his way to becoming an outstanding defensive line coach. Dyar quickly gained the respect of the Pitt squad this past spring with his ability to communicate with his players coupled with his knowledge of defen sive line play in the'trenches.' Born in Enterprise, Ala., he graduated from Enter prise High School in 1962 with 11 letters in football, basketball, track and baseball. He moved to the Uni versity of Houston where he lettered twice for Bill Yeomans at quard and tackle. Following graduation he was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons and played for the Falcons' farm team at Huntsville, Ala. There he was named the most valuable offensive player for Huntsville and was All-League as a guard. He began his coaching career as a student defensive assistant at Houston for one year. He joined Johnny Majors' staff at Iowa State in 1970 as defensive line coach. Married, he and his wife, Nancy, have two sons - David, 8, and Wade, 6. 8 LARRY HOLTON Defense A former player at Iowa State under Johnny Majors, Larry Holton begins his first year on the Pitt staff. Holton, 26, will assist with the defensive secondary and also help in other defensive areas. An All-State tailback at Keokuk High School in Iowa, he entered Iowa State in 1965. He was a threeyear starter for the Cyclones as a defensive halfback, his senior year under Coach Majors. Following graduation from Iowa State in 1970, Holton began his coaching career as a graduate assistant under Majors for two years. In March, 1972, he was named an assistant defensive backfield coach at Florida State where he tutored James Thomas, the Pittsburgh Steelers #1 draft pick this past season. "Larry is one of the most outstanding young men I've had the pleasure to coach," Majors says. "He was one of the young men who helped establish pride in the program at Iowa State, and I'm confident he'll fit in perfectly in our program at Pitt." Holton is single. HARRY JONES Offensive Backs One of the finest running backs in the history of the Southwest Conference, Harry Jones brings to the Pitt staff an outstanding background on both the collegiate - and professional level. Jones, 27, is in charge of the running backs. An All-State quarterback at Enid High School (Okla.), Jones entered Arkansas in 1963. His career there was nothing less than spectacular. As a sopho more he was the starting defensive safety on Arkansas' Sundefeated National championship team in 1964. His defensive backfield coach that year, incidentally, was Johnny Majors. His junior and senior years he was switched to running back where he was named All-Southwest Conference and first-team All-American in 1965 and'66. Jones led the nation in average per rush (7.7) in 1965, and also holds the single game record of 293 yards against Oklahoma State. During his three years Arkansas compiled a 29-3 record, won the National title in 1964, and played in two Cotton Bowl games. Harry was named to the Hula Bowl all-star squad, and was selected as the #1 draft choice of the Philadelphia Eagles. Jones spent five years with the Eagles as a running back and receiver but his career was shortened by injuries. He entered the coaching circles in 1971 as a graduate assistant at Oklahoma, and last year served as assistant freshman coach at Arkansas. Married, he and his wife, Marilyn, have one boy - Griff, 4. 9 BOB LEAHY Freshman Coach Shortly after his arrival at Pitt, Johnny Majors made a move that didn't surprise people in the Pittsburgh area. Majors added former Pittsburgh Steeler quarter back, Bob Leahy, to his staff as freshman coach. Known with the Steelers as a Coach-on-the-Field, Leahy was considered to possess an outstanding foot ball mind. Steeler coaches tried in vain for two years to stump Leahy in their weekly quizes on the X and Os. So it was a surprise to no one when Leahy decided to enter the coaching field. At Pitt, Leahy will start his career coaching the Panther freshmen and working with the young quarterbacks. At Lindenhurst High School in Lindenhurst, Long Island, Bob was an All-County and All-Long Island quarterback. He moved to Kansas State Teachers College where he was All-Conference for two years and honorable mention Little All-American. He was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers and spent two seasons in professional football. In the off-season, Leahy earned his Masters Degree. He and his wife, Susan, live in the Allison Park area of Pittsburgh. Leahy is 25. JOE MADDEN Defensive Secondary joI Johnny Majors says flatly that Joe Madden is the finest defensive secondary coach on the collegiate level. One of the older'veterans' on the staff at 38, Madden brings to Pitt a rich background of coaching experience. Madden lettered in football, boxing and baseball at St. John's High School in Washington, D.C. From there he entered Maryland where he lettered in boxing. Following graduation from Maryland in 1957 he began his long coaching career. It began as high school coach at Gonzaga High in Washington, D.C. From 1959-61 Madden served as backfield coach at Father Lopez High School in Daytona Beach, Fla. Madden moved to the collegiate level in 1962 as scout squad coach at Mississippi State. He was named offensive backfield coach at Morehead State (Ky.) in 1963 and then went to Wake Forest as secondary coach from 1964-67. Johnny Majors hired him as defensive secondary coach at Iowa State in 1968 where he remained for four seasons before being named defensive coordinator at Kansas State last season. Married, he and his wife, Janis, have four children - Kerry, 11; Duffy, 10; Casey, 6; and Keely, 5. 10 Page missing from original text Page missing from original text 1973 Outlook: A MAJOR Change Don't look for miracles, but do expect a MAJOR change in Pitt football this fall. Johnny Majors, that is. Expect enthusiasm. Expect difference. Expect pride. Expect change. But don't expect someone to appear walking on water. "If we're lucky, we could win 4-5 games," Majors told reporters after the completion of his first spring drills at Pitt. "But if we're unlucky, we could win one." If there's one thing Johnny Majors has made clear, it is that he's not a miracle man. "I'm not going to promise you pie-inthe-sky," he says. "We've got some good football players here, but not enough. We need some help." Majors has preached pride and enthusiasm since his arrival on the Pitt campus, and it was evident in his players during spring drills. He put the Panthers through an emotional, enthusiastic 20 days of drills - complete with plenty of running, quickness drills and hitting. Majors will build his first Pitt team around 30 returning lettermen, including 16 starters from last year. Pitt would appear to be stronger defensively than offensively with quality in the lines but a number of questionmarks in the skilled positions. Majors and his young staff had a bumper recruiting season and a number of the new faces are expected to help Pitt this season. Including junior college play ers and freshmen, the Panther boss says 15-20 of the new players could make the traveling squad. Going to fall camp, the picture looks like this: DEFENSIVELY: If Pitt is to win this fall, this is where it will be done. The Panthers used a 4-4 defense during the spring, and the drills showed Pitt should be tough up front with one of its best defensive lines in recent years. The front four could show: All American candidate Jim Buckmon (Sr., 6-3, 230) and Tom Perko (So., 6-4, 215) at end, All-East Glenn Hyde (Sr., 6-3, 235) and Dave Jancisin (Jr., 6-5, 240) at tackle, Junior College All-American Gary Burley (Jr., 6-2, 250) will also be fight ing for a starting job. Behind them at linebacker the top candidates appear to be Kelcy Daviston (So., 6-3, 220), Rod Kirby (Sr., 6-1, 202), Dan Smith (Jr., 6-1, 180), Ken Paieski in Pitt Football (Sr., 6-1, 205), Mike Shaffer (So., 6-1, 205) and Jim Smith (So., 6-0, 195). Mike Bulino (Jr., 6-0, 190), Pitt's top defensive back last season, appears to have the monster position sewed up. The defensive secondary was considered a weak position before the start of spring drills but the addition of several newcomers and the improvement of veterans helped ease the worries at this spot. Right now the three starters appear to be speedsters David Spates (Jr., 6-1, 170) and Jeff Hartin (So., 5-11, 170) and Dennis Moorehead (So., 6-1, 190). OFFENSIVELY: Offensively, Majors is concerned. The Panthers do not have the speed that he would like, and the'big-play' ability was missing during spring drills. Pitt does return nine of its 11 regulars from last season, but spring drills left a number of questions unanswered. Up front regulars return at both tackle spots (Dave Wannstedt and Dave Blandino), at one guard spot (Reynold Stoner), and at center (Mike Carey). Stan Ostrowski, last season's leading rusher, was switched to tight end during spring drills and he made an impressive showing. Seniors John Robb (part-time starter at defensive tackle last season) and part-time starter Ray Olsen will battle for the other guard spot. Todd Toerper, a regular last season, and junior speedster, Bruce Murphy, nailed down starting spots at the wide receiver positions. The offensive backfield will depend on the attack Majors settles on. In the spring, Pitt used mainly an I setup but the Panthers could switch to split backs this fall, eliminating the fullback. Dave Janasek was impressive at fullback in the spring, but if the switch is made he could go to linebacker. At the halfback spots, a battle shapes up between Mike Mehalik, Bill Englert, Lou Cecconi, and Clair Wilson. Senior Bob Medwid has the number one lock on quarterback due to a strong showing in spring. Medwid, however, had a knee operation over the summer and there will be considerable interest in his physical condition during the early fall drills. How many games is Pitt going to win? Nobody is even remotely sure. You can bet, though, that it will be interesting and different. 13 Pitt Personnel Data "*Indicates number of letters won CAPS indicate offensive or defensive starter in 1972 Lettermen LOST from 1972 Squad: 18 (6 starters) Ends (3) **John Moss, **ERIC KNISLEY, **Lance Wall Tackles (1) *Paul Mariano Guards (3) **ERNIE WEBSTER, **Rick Lozier, ***Joe Kovacic Centers (1) *Tony Kuzneski Linebackers (3) ***George Feher, ***Gary Patterson, *Bill Mercer Middle Guard (2) **ART VENZIN, *Mike Hieber Quarterbacks (1) ***JOHN HOGAN Halfbacks (0) Fullbacks (0) Defensive Backs (3) ***REGGIE FRYE, **Joe Herndon, **ED MAR STELLAR Specialists (1) **Tim Hornish Lettermen RETURNING from 1972 Squad: 30 (16 starters) Ends (6) **LES BLOCK, *TODD TOERPER, **JIM BUCKMON, *Rod Kirby, *Tom Perko, *Rod Huth Tackles (5) **GLENN HYDE, *DAVE JANCISIN, **DAVE WANN STEDT, **DAVE BLANDINO, **John Robb Guards (2) *REYNOLD STONER, *Ray Olsen Centers (1) *MIKE CAREY Linebackers (2) *KEN PAIESKI, *CARLOS HAMLIN Middle Guard (0) Quarterbacks (2) **Bob Medwid, *Bill Daniels Halfbacks (5) **STAN OSTROWSKI, **BILL ENGLERT, **Lou Cecconi, "*Bruce Murphy, *Clair Wilson Fullbacks (3) *DAVE JANASEK, *Paul Felinczak, *Dan Smith Defensive Backs (4) *MIKE BULINO, **DAN RULLO, *Bill Adams, "*Glenn Hodge Lettermen Changing Positions for 1973: (9) Stan Ostrowski from halfback to tight end, Bruce Murphy from halfback to split receiver, Mike Bulino from defensive back to linebacker, John Robb from defensive tackle to offensive guard, Dan Smith from fullback to linebacker, Carlos Hamlin from linebacker to defensive end, Rod Kirby from defensive end to linebacker, Rod Huth from tight end to linebacker, and Dan Rullo from defensive back to split receiver.

Why Panthers 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 autumn of 1909. According to George M. P. Baird,'09, who made the suggestion, it was chosen for the following reasons: (1) the Panther was the most formidable creature once indige-nous to the Pittsburgh region; (2) it had ancient, 'heraldic standing as a noble animal; (3) the hap*py accident of alliteration; (4) the close approxi\mation of its hue to the old gold of the University's colors (old gold and blue), hence its easy adaptability in decoration; and (5) the fact that no other college or university then employed it as a symbol.

Sessions are scheduled for 8:30 in the morning and 4:00 in the afternoon. The varsity and freshmen will drill separately in the morning and then combine for the afternoon session. A New Home Pitt players will gather this fall in an all-new locker room in Pitt Stadium. The locker room, one of the finest in the country, features 147 wooden open-air lockers, wall-to-wall carpeting, all-new weight room, a sauna bath, reception room for players and their families, and a teari meeting room. It is all part of the 'Major Change in Pitt Football.' Some Sports Trivia Most of you can answer the question as to who was the runner-up to Paul Horning for the Heisman Trophy balloting in 1956. The answer, of course, is Johnny Majors. But can you name the consensus AllAmerican backfield from that year? Don't start with Horning. He didn't make it. The 1956 All-American backfield was Jim Brown of Syracuse, Tommy McDonaid of Oklahoma, John Brodie of Stanford, and Johnny Majors of Tennessee. Some company! Incidentally, Brown and Majors were the only two unanimous selections. Also on that team as one of the ends was Joe Walton of Pitt. The Johnny Majors Show Johnny Majors will tell the Pitt Panther football story this fall, both on radio and TV. Majors will have two 15-minute radio shows over WTAE (1250) in Pittsburgh. The first will be a pre-game show to be carried over the 20-station Pitt football network. The second will be.a postgame locker room show to be carried at 5:45 p.m. each Saturday over WTAE. The Johnny Majors Show on WTAE-TV, Channel 4 in Pittsburgh, is scheduled for 7-7:30 p.m. each Sunday during the football season. It will feature highlights from Saturday's game, comments from the head coach and appearances by Pitt players. In addition, the Athletic Department's 20-minute, color film - A MAJOR Change in Pitt Football - will be carried over WTAE-TV at 9:30 p.m., Friday, Sept. 14th. That incidentally, is on the eve of the opening game with Georgia. Brochure For Sale This 1973 football brochure is available to the public for $1.50.

From the day they enter Pitt to the day they gradu ate, Panther athletes receive the care and treatment benefitting an out standing Medical School. Dr. James McMaster, assistant pro fessor of orthopedic surgery at Uni r. James McMaster versity of Pittsburgh School of Medi- Dr. Russell Leslie Head Team Physician cine, heads a team of physicians and Orthopedic Consultant trainers who operate Pitt's Department of Sports Medicine. Dr. viciviaster, wno is ble head team physician, is ably assisted by Dr. Russell Leslie, clinical associate professor of orthopedics. The two doctors team with a staff of two full-time trainers at Pitt, in addition to approximately 35 other doctors who work on a consultant basis as specialists in all areas of medicine. Treatment clinics are conducted by the doctors five days a week for the entire school year, and also on Sunday during the football season. Roger McGill Head Trainer Roger McGill's association with Pitt goes back to 1946, both as a student and trainer. He graduated from Pitt in 1950 and upon graduation joined the faculty as an assistant trainer, but continued his education and received his Masters in Education in 1951. During the next 12 years he studied corrective and adaptive therapy, logged more than 500 clinical hours, and established the first adaptive course at Pitt. In 1963 he moved to professional sports, becoming head trainer for the Pittsburgh Steelers, attending to the Pittsburgh Pirates in spring practice, and handling a number of pro basketball teams when they visited Pittsburgh. Roger returned to Pitt in 1968 as Associate Trainer and supervisor of equipment. Last summer he served as trainer for the United States baseball entry in the Pan American Olympic Games in Cali, Colombia. Married, he and his wife, Ethel, have four children - Roger Roger McGill Jr., Keith Alan, Michele, and Brian Douglas. Head Trainer 1110 111 Thomas Kerin Football Trainer Tim Kerin Football Trainer Thomas Kerin begins his second year on the Pitt staff this fall. Kerin is a 1965 graduate of Westinghouse Memorial High in Wilmerding, Pa., where he served two years as the head student trainer. He then spent four years as head student trainer at Indiana University (of Pa.) before graduating in 1969. For three years he served as head trainer at Penn Hills High School in Pittsburgh. He received his Masters Degree from Indiana University a year ago. This past winter, he assumed the duties of football trainer at Pitt. He and his wife, Mary Lou, reside in Pittsburgh. 33 Voice of the Panthers A two-man broadcasting team of Ed Conway and Bill Hillgrove will beam all the Pitt football games this fall over WTAE Radio (1250). The games will also be carried throughout the State on a 15-20 station network with WTAE acting as the parent station in Pittsburgh. Ed Conway will call the play-by-play, while Bill Hillgrove of WTAE Radio, will supply color commentary and half-time shows. Both will be in their fourth year as the Pitt broad casting team. Conway is one of the most popular and most competent sportscasters 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 Pitts burgh Penguin hockey, the annual PIAA state basketball cham pionships, and has produced several award-winning specials on Ed Conway the Pirates, Steelers and annual PGA golf tournaments. ii: Hillgrove is quickly gaining a reputation as one of the most knowledgable sportscasters in the State. In addition to Pitt football, he has handled the play-by-play of Panther basketball games for the past three years. He has parlayed an extensive knowledge of sports and several years of broadcast experience into a highly successful music-sports program heard nightly from 8 to midnight. He holds a bachelor's degree in radio-TV journalism from Duquesne University. WTAE Radio was named last year as the outstanding sports Bill Hillgrove station in the State of Pennsylvania.

POSVAR Chancellor In six 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. This image has spread throughout the city of Pittsburgh and Dr. Posvar was honored as "Sportsman of the Year" by the Alle gheny County Civic Sportsmen's Association two years ago. A former athlete and a firm believer in intercollegiate sports within the framework of the academic structure, Dr. Posvar has attended all but one Pitt football game in six 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, "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. Following Pitt's 1969 46-19 victory over Navy, the players presented the game ball to him in a noisy locker room celebration. He considers it one of his prized possessions, and displays it in his office at the Cathedral of Learning. 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 December 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." Myslinski has more than fulfilled that pledge. In his first full year as AD, Pitt completed its best athletic season in 11 years (81-63-2) and its first winning year since 1962-63. And Pitt athletic teams have been winning ever since, achieving four straight overall winning marks. Under his direction, Pitt withdrew from the so-called Eastern'Big 4,' and then landed as its coach, Johnny Majors. Showing a strong concern for all students, Myslinski has greatly expanded Pitt's athletic facilities and intra-mural program, and made an all out effort to improve student attendance at all athletic events. The results of his labors include Astro-Turf in The Stadium which can be used for intra-murals, band practice, ROTC, or simply sunbathing by the entire university community, and shuttle buses to take students to and from all athletic events. 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 subsequently earned a Masters in Education from Teachers' College, Columbia University. Following graduation from West Point in 1944, 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. Born on March 6, 1920 in Steubenville, Ohio, Myslinski and his wife, Sandy, have four children - Linda, 22; Patricia, 21; Michael, 18; and Dorothy, 16. 2 1973 Numerical Roster No. Name Pos.

Baylor coach Grant Teaff turned in one of the finest coaching jobs in the country last season... Taking over a school that had fallen on hard times, Teaff guided the Bears to a 5-6 record. More importantly, Baylor was in every game but one... Baylor returns 25 lettermen from that team, and it appears Teaff has turned around the program...

The Green Wave has had big success in the recruiting wars with home-state rival LSU, and last season the results began to appear on the scoreboard... Pitt has yet to beat Tulane in this series which just began in 1969... In last year's game Tulane took a 17-0 halftime lead, and Pitt was never really in the contest. Pitt QB John Hogan completed 9-12 passes for 154 yards and 1 TD but it wasn't nearly enough... Tulane has been picked in the Top Twenty in a number of pre-season polls.

Although West Virginia has won 10 of the last 15 games, Pitt still leads in the overall series by a sizeable 43-21-1 margin... Speed and big-play potential are the key words for the Moun taineers... Leading the charge will be sprinter Danny (Lightning) Buggs who averaged 19.5 yards every time he touched the ball last season. Buggs ran a 9.5 hundred this past spring during track... In last year's game, Buggs caught five passes for 115 yards... For Pitt, halfback Bill Englert rushed for 114 yards on 17 carries. Pitt-West Virginia Series in Brief Pitt W.Va. Pitt W.Va. Pitt W.Va.

Welsh is a former great Navy quarterback who has spent recent seasons coaching the quarter backs at Penn State. This is his first head coaching job on a collegiate level... In last year's Pitt-Navy game, the Midshipmen took a 21-0 lead into the fourth quarter and really never were in serious trouble... In that game, Cleveland Cooper, who returns today, rushed for 158 yards on 29 carries... For Pitt, Stan Ostrowski was high with 62 yards on 15 tries.

He is a living legend in his own time and the third winningest active coach in the country. He was 4-5 in his first year in 1949, and then produced 22 straight non-losing seasons before posting a 5-6 mark last fall...

Syracuse has never led in this series which began in 1916... Schwartz walder will take a 11-7 record into his final game against Pitt...

A strong point for the Army will be its passing attack with Kings ley Fink at quarterback... Fink, in fact, engineered the last-minute touchdown drive that defeated Pitt, 17-14, in 1971...

In recent years, however, it has been a one-sided affair with Penn State winning the last seven games - most of them by huge scores... Pitt still holds a 35-34-3 edge in the series which dates back to 1893... Pitt's last win was in 1965, and the last victory at Beaver Stadium came in 1955... Penn State has again been tabbed as the pre-season choice for the top team in the East and among the nation's Top Twenty... In last year's game, Penn State roared to a 42-0 lead before Pitt got on the scoreboard... Panther quarterback John Hogan threw for four TDs in the fourth quarter to tie a school record.

In 1904 the Western University of Pennsylvania eleven, had its first winning streak. Sparking this team was Joe Thompson, of World War I fame. He took over as coach after his gradua tion, and in 1910 turned out an unde feated, untied, and unscored on eleven. In 1914 under Joe Duff, brother of the former U.S. Senator, the Panthers 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. In 1916 Pitt team turned up with an innovation, for which millions of football fans have since given thanks. In addition to being undefeated, the Panthers, under Warner, were the first to wear numbers. During this period the first AllAmerican 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, were a big Scotch guard by the name of Jock Sutherland; the 1917 captain and end, 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 AllAmericans, and Harvey Harmon played a lot of tackle. In 1924, Jock Sutherland began a 15 year regime, which started slowly but ended with the Panthers ensconced 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-Americans during the period were Ralph Chase in 1925 at tackle, Gibby Welch at halfback in 1927, Mike Betto at tackle in 1928, Ray Montgomery at guard and Joe Donchess 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 Gold berg at halfback and Tony Matisi at tackle in 1937, and Goldberg and Bill Daddio at end in 1938. On the All-American 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 Walton, 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 succeeded by Clark Shaughnessy who held sway during World War II. Wes Fesler brightened the picture in 1946, and was followed by Mike Milli gan who turned in the first winning 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 Tom Hamilton took over as head coach, and then in January of 1952 Lowell Dawson was named. Dawson won six including Notre Dame, Army, Ohio, Indiana and Iowa among the victims, and lost three. In 1954 ill health caused him to give up football coaching in mid-season, and Tom Hamilton took over as head coach and put the team on a winning basis. After the season he stepped down to turn the team over to Johnny Michelosen. A 7-3 record, featuring decisive upset wins over Duke at Durham and over West Virginia before a capacity crowd in Pittsburgh, brought a Sugar Bowl invitation, and a close defeat by Georgia Tech at New Orleans that didn't hurt the Panther's national ranking. The Panthers went to the Gator Bowl in 1956, after a 7-2-1 season, and again lost to Georgia Tech 21-14. In 1957, Pitt was 4-6, in 1958, 5-4-1, in 1959 finished with a 6-4 record and had a 4-3-3 record in 1960. In 1961, Pitt was 3-7, the most disastrous record since 1951. In 1962, the record was 5-5. In 1963, Pitt finished with a 9-1 mark and was ranked third in the country. After losing seasons in 1964, 3-5-2, and 1965, 3-7, Michelosen was succeeded by Dave Hart. Hart undertook an extensive recruiting campiagn and quickly gained the reputation as one of the finest recruiters in Pitt history. Unfortunately, the squads did not perform well on the field, and he resigned after three years and a 3-27 record. He was replaced in 1969 by former Pitt player and assistant coach, Carl DePasqua. In four years, DePasqua brought the Panthers respectability but was unable to establish a winner. He was released after a 1-10 record in 1972, giving him an overall mark of 13-29. The losing trend caused the University to take a hard look at its football program, and a number of changes were instituted. First, Pitt withdrew from the so-called Eastern'Big 4' which had severely limited recruiting and prohibited legitimate forms of redshirting. Most importantly, however, the University hired perhaps the finest young coach in America, Johnny Majors. It all marked "A MAJOR Change in Pitt Football." ALL-TIME TEAM FROM 1910-1968 ENDS: J.

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-American fullback 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. In 1971, Joe Thompson, outstanding player-coach from 1904-1912, was elected. In 1973, Hube Wagner, brilliant end and running back from 1910-1913, and Herb McCracken, back and lineman from 1918-20, were elected. Jock Sutherland Dr. John Bain (Jock) Sutherland was a great player and coach at Pitt. Entering Pitt within a few years after he left his native Scotland he was a regu lar guard on the great Pitt teams of 1914-1917, teams that lost but one game during the entire period. Upon graduation, with a dental degree in 1918, he went into the service, coached the Camp Greenleaf Team with the AEF, then came back to the coaching job at Lafayette. Four years later, in 1924, he replaced Pop Warner at Pitt, and after getting the foundation laid, put the Panthers back into the first line again. There were national titles in 1927, 1929, and 1937; eastern honors in 1925, 1927, 1929, 1931, 1932, 1934, 1936, and 1937. Rose Bowl appearances in 1928, 1930 and 1933, climaxed with a win in 1937. All-Americans were turned out with regularity during this period Leaving Pitt in 1939, he coached Brooklyn in 1940 and 1941, then went into the Navy. Upon his return he took over the Pittsburgh Steelers, giving them their greatest days until his very sudden death in the spring of 1948. Bob Peck Bob Peck was Pitt's initial first team All-America, being selected by Walter Camp in 1915 and 1916. In both of these years Pitt was undefeated, and in his sophomore year, 1914, the Panthers lost only one game. He was captain of the 1916 Pitt team that is rated among the greatest of all _6 time, both at Pitt and in the nation. Playing under Pop Warner, Pitt's coach during his last two years, he was a terrific roving center of the old variety, and an accurate passing center who could lead the speedy Pitt backs on the famous single and double wing attack which Warner was then perfecting. 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, coinciden'tal with Jock Sutherland's last three as Pitt's head coach, saw the Panthers win a national title, a Rose Bowl game, and two eastern championships. In two years as the regular left half back Goldberg was the leading scorer and leading ground gainer, and then, moving to fullback with the famous Dream Back field of 1938, he became a terrific blocker and power back, despite his rela tive 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 president of the Goldberg-Emmerman Corp. in Elk Grove Village, Ill. 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 fullback with 782 yards. He also holds the longest run from scrimmage, 92 yards in 1917. He was never stopped without making a gain during his intercollegiate career. McLaren also was a member of the basketball team for two years and a performer on the track squad for two campaigns. McLaren now resides in Baltimore, Maryland, 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 executive, Stein owns and operates nine corporations. 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. Davies died this past year. Joe Thompson The late Joe Thompson, outstanding player-coach at Pitt from 1904-1912, was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1971. A native of Beaver Falls, Pa., Thompson came to Pitt in 1904 (after attending Geneva) and led the Panthers to their first undefeated season. In compiling a 10-0 record, Pitt gave up only five points to opponents. He captained the team in 1905 and in his three years the Panthers achieved an excellent 26-6 mark. After taking over the coaching chores in 1908, Thompson compiled a four-year record of 30-14-2. His 1910 team was not only undefeated (9-0) but also unscored upon. Hube Wagner Hube Wagner came to Pitt from Monaca High School in 1910 and immediately became a member of the gjreat Panther team which went undefeated, untied and unscored upon. While primarily an end, he filled in at every other position except quarterback because of his great versatility. When old timers talk of all-time Pitt greats Wagner's name always comes early in the conversations. Competing against such opponents as Notre Dame, Penn State, the famous Carlisle Indians, Navy, Cornell, West Virginia, Bucknell, etc., he was sensational because of wild tackling and his powerful ball carrying. He never, however, made the Walter Camp AllAmerican team because that famous selector did not see Pitt play until 1915. Since graudation, he has become an outstanding surgeon and for 12 years was a member of the University Board of Trustees. He was also elected a Varsity Letterman of Distinction. Herb McCracken Herb McCracken, a native of Sewickley, was one of the most versatile and also one of the lightest football players in Pitt history. He made up in football instinct and desire for any lack of size, and those same attributes made him a successful coach. He was a varsity player under Pop Warner from 1918-20, participating at halfback, fullback, guard, end and center. He also played three years of basketball, captaining the team his senior year. He went on to achieve outstanding coaching records at Allegheny College and Lafayette. Herb left coaching in 1935 to co-found Scholastic Magazine, Inc. He has served as a trustee of both Pitt and Lafayette. He is a Varsity Letterman of Distinction. 57 Pitt's new football coach, Johnny Majors with his wife, Mary Lynn. 4 All-Time Coaching Records Name and Alma Mater At Pitt W L No Coach 1890-1892 7 9 Anson F.

Cantankerous. Agonizing. Dreadful. Wonderful. These are all adjectives used to describe that holiest of grails in college football - the search for No. 1. To settle countless arguments Sports Illustrated in 1970 researched the first and only complete and wholly accurate list ever compiled of college football's mythical national champions. Every recognized authority that ever presumed to name a No. 1 is included. They include Parke H. Davis Ratings (1889-1935), the Helms Athletic Foundation (1889-1970), the Dickinson System (1924-1940), the Illustrated Football Annual (1924-1941), The Football Theasaurus (1927-1958), the Dunkel System (1929-1970), the Litkenhous System (1934-1970), the Williamson System (1932-1963), the Associated Press (1936-1970), the United Press International (1950-1970), the Football Writers Association of America (1954-1970), and the National Football Hall of Fame (1959-1970). In all of college football, only 42 different schools have claimed a national championship, and only 28 have managed to win two national titles. As shown below the University of Pittsburgh is 5th to properly rank as one of the nation's all time great football names. No. 1 Champsionships 1. Notre Dame 14 2. Yale 13 3. Princeton 12 4. USC 9 5.

He wanted the man many football experts consider the finest young coach in America. A knowledgable man. A coach of'impact' with the public. Someone who can relate to today's youth. And a man who has proven he can win against the best competition in the country. That man was Johnny Majors. Since Dec. 19th when he was hired as Pitt's 27th head coach, Johnny Majors has given Cas Myslinski all this - and much, much more. He has excited Pitt fans like nothing before him, and he has generated an enthusiasm among his players that long has been missing. Since taking the Pitt job Majors has worked 12-18 hours a day to get the program turned around. He conducted one of the school's most extensive and successful recruiting programs. He's made hundreds of speeches and appearances at banquets, alumni affairs and luncheons. He's visited high school after high school, and conducted a clinic for area high school coaches, in addition to an instructional summer camp for high school athletes. In between all this he directed spring drills, the part of the program he likes by far the best. Johnny Majors is highly motivated. He's enthusiastic. He wants things done yesterday. He can recruit. He's tireless. He can communicate. He's got a magic about him. He's got charisma. And, most importantly of all, he's proven he can coach. Perhaps a pre-season football book this Summer summed it up best. Said the book, "Like King Midas of old, Johnny Majors turns everything he touches to gold." Pitt fans would settle for something less than gold. Since 1960 Pitt has posted only one winning team (9-1 in 1963) and the past nine years the Panthers have sloshed to an incredibly poor 22-68-2 record. Following last season's 1-10 record, the worst in Pitt's history, school officials decided it was time for a change. The University made a Major commitment to winning football. First, Pitt withdrew from the so-called Eastern'Big Four' which severely limited recruiting and prohibited legitimate forms of redshirting. Then, and most importantly, the Panthers landed Johnny Majors. Who is this man who has been asked to turn around a losing program and restore Pitt's tarnished gridiron image? For Pitt fans, Majors represents more than just hope or a commitment. He represents a dynamic young man who has proven he can turn around a losing program, and he did it in the strongest football conference in the country - the Big Eight. Majors, perhaps, put it as well as anyone. He told Post-Gazette Sports Editor Al Abrams shortly after his arrival in Pittsburgh, "When they got me, they weren't getting any virgin." Five years ago Majors took over an Iowa State job that seemed hopeless. Far, far more hopeless than the Pitt situation. The Cyclones had one of the worst football reputations in the country and had never in their long history been invited to a Bowl game. (continued) 5 Pitt Seasonal Records (con't.)

Three years ago the University completed the installation of an Astro-Turf playing surface and a 440-yard all-weather Tartan track. In addition, the inside wall was trimmed in Pitt's Blue and Gold colors, and seating was expanded. The deep green Astro-Turf contrasts sharply with the brick red Tartan track to give Pitt Stadium an eye-catching appearance. This investment in artificial turf is amortizing itself in reduced maintenance costs, and will improve and extend the utility of Pitt Stadium many times over. With a seating capacity of 56,500, Pitt Stadium is generally considered one of the finest spectator viewing stadiums 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. Various seats were taken out to provide better access to all of the seats. The stadium plant itself encompasses 10 acres with an outer circumference of onehalf mile. Besides the football field, facilities include a band room, a 440-yard track and dressing rooms. The first game was played in 1925 when Pitt defeated Washington & Lee, 28-0. During 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 Fordham, 24-13. The oneseason attendance record was set in 1956 when 239,718 people watched the Panthers in five games. The average game attendance of 47,944 is also a Stadium record. 71 Opp. 25 55 20 35 33 40 21 56 17 55 31 388 This Is The University of Pittsburgh Almost a decade after the American Revolution, a few men met in a log house near the confluence of the Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio Rivers to plan a school which would teach "more than just the first elements." That school, the Pittsburgh Academy, was the forerunner of the University of Pittsburgh. It was chartered on February 28, 1787-within months of the drafting of the U.S. Constitution-and its founding principal was Judge Hugh Henry Brackenridge. The earliest written record of the curriculum dates from 1789 and lists "the Learned Languages, English and the mathematicks." Pittsburgh had a population of some 400 people when this first school of higher learning west of the Alleghenies was established. It was housed in a log cabin located in what is today's downtown Pittsburgh. Over the years, Pitt became heavily oriented to its own backyard and to the education of great numbers of commuting students. "Trolley College" sprang up and stuck as a nickname for the school that welcomed droves of students who descended from orange, and later red trolley cars. With Edward Litchfield in 1955, came a concerted effort to discard the nickname in an across-the-board pursuit of academic excellence that would project Pitt into a position of prominence among the great institutions in the nation and world. Litchfield upgraded student standards, sought and won large numbers of distinguished faculty, doubled salaries and, after five years, doubled the size of the faculty. He introduced an international dimension, and encouraged a cosmopolitan mix in the student body for he felt the university would best serve its region by adopting a world view. He launched a massive building program, acquired jealously guarded urban property, established interdisciplinary centers and enriched the university's programs to the point where many of them not only challenged but also bettered those offered in the world's top universities. In 1965, after suffering a minor heart attack, and under fire for a financial crisis, he resigned. Under the leaderships of two interim chancellors-Stanton Crawford, who died in office, and David Kurtzman-Pitt en tered into private-public partnership for financial support and became state-rela ted. This increased the measure of state support and provided a tuition supplement to enable Pennsylvania students to attend the university for a low out-of-pocket out lay. 72 In June of 1967, Wesley Posvar became the 15th chancellor. Of the financial difficulties that had preceeded him and of solution, he said: "... (they) may someday be regarded less as deviations than as forerunners of financial trends elsewhere in American higher education." Today Pitt is a complex of 14 schools, 87 departments, and 10 special centers. It is private, state-related, and non-sectarian. It has some 35,000 students on the Oakland campus and four regional campuses; it employs a total of nearly 6,000 full-time persons, including 1,900 full-time faculty members; it is the second largest employer in the city limits of Pittsburgh; it has 486 part-time faculty and more than 1,465 part-time technical and professional personnel. Each year, the faculty teaches more than 550,000 credit hours and carries out nearly $24 million worth of sponsored research. (In recent years the university has been the site of three significant scientific accomplishments: the Salk polio vaccine, developed and tested at Pitt by Dr. Jonas Salk in 1953; the synthesizing of ACTH by Dr. Klaus Hofman, in 1961; and the discovery of synthetic insulin by Dr. Panayotis Katsoyannis in 1964.) Current construction projects on the Oakland campus alone are valued in excess of $30 million. In his inaugural address on March 27, 1968, Dr. Posvar pointed to the future: "The university, because it is more stable and more independent than governments and corporations, will become the creative eye for the new societyfor its communications systems, its social patterns, and its political and economic structures." "This I submit to you, is the keynote of the next major stage of advancement of the University of Pittsburgh."

His first two squads were 3-7, but that was an improvement and the Cyclones were getting beat by respectable scores. The following year he was 5-6, with one of the victories coming over a strong Missouri team and one of the losses a 29-28 heartbreaker to Oklahoma. Then came the payoff. The biggest crowds in Iowa State history flocked to Ames to watch Majors' team roll to an 8-3 record and a Sun Bowl invitation, the school's first bowl appearance in history. For this he was named Big Eight Coach-of-the-Year by both wire services. Gridiron Magazine selected him national Coach-of-the-Year and he was selected head coach of the North team in the North-South Shrine game in Miami. (Pitt's Ralph Cindrich played on Majors' North team.) Last season Majors made it two in a row by taking his Iowa State squad to the Liberty Bowl against Georgia Tech. Iowa State jumped to a 5-2-1 record early in the year, including a 23-23 tie with mighty Nebraska. But injuries took their toll and the Cyclones finished with a 5-6-1 record. Still, Majors had directed Iowa State to its only two bowl appearances since the school began playing football in 1892. Pitt's new head coach comes from the most famous football family in the State of Tennessee - and, for that matter, perhaps the whole country. His father, Shirley, was highly successful in high school and has been even more successful at the University of the South. Two of John's younger brothers, Bill and Bobby, were great football stars at Tennessee. Johnny, though, was the biggest star. An All-American tailback at Tennessee, he led the Vols in 1956 to a 10-0 regular season record (Sugar Bowl) and finished second to Paul Hornung in the Heisman Trophy balloting. He was twice named MVP in the Southeast Conference, and still holds a number of Vol all-time records. For this he is a charter honoree in the Tennessee Hall of Fame. Following graduation from Tennessee, Majors began his coaching career as an assistant at his alma mater. From there he moved to Mississippi State and then in 1963 joined Frank Broyles' staff at Arkansas as defensive backfield coach. In 1968 he accepted the Iowa State position. Majors is married to the former Mary Lynn Barnwell of Chattanooga, Tenn. He and his wife have two children - John Ireland, 8, and Mary Elizabeth, 6. Majors, 38, resides in the Fox Chapel area of Pittsburgh. Some Major Quotes "We've got to be realistic here. This isn't going to be easy." * * * * * "It's the program that's most important. Just bringing in a new face isn't going to change it around. There are more good programs around the country than there are good coaches." "Our players are not going to learn how to lose. Before you can win, it's essential not to learn how to lose." "I just hope the people are patient with us. More patient than I'll probably be myself." "We sure didn't come here to lose." "The most important factor of the game is recruiting. I know at Iowa State we were much better coaches after four years than we were the first two because we had better people." "Pittsburgh used to be a city of losers. Now, it's a city of winners and that's the kind of attitude I hope to have at Pitt." 6 JACKIE SHERRILL Assistant Head Coach Defensive Coordinator Johnny Majors has called his staff "the finest young coaching staff in America," and dynamic, young Jackie Sherrill is the man who heads it. Promoted to the posi tion of assistant head coach and defensive coordinator in 1970 at Iowa State, Sherrill is the coordinator on the staff and Majors' right-hand man. Although only 29, Sherrill has a rich background of winning football. In fact, he has seen nothing but suc cess. He has played on two'bowl' teams in high school, been a member of two National championship teams in college, played on three bowl teams in college, and coached three college bowl teams. It all started at Biloxi High School (Miss.) where Jackie was honorable mention All-American and All-State as he led his team to two post-season bowl appearances.
