Saturday, October 25, 1975
University Field 1:30 p.m.

Running back Orin Griffin (No. 25) looks for a way around Brockport’s Neil Sabine in the Danes’ 45-9 win
over the Golden Eagles on September 27. The speedy Griffin, from Schenectady, N.Y., shattered three
school records set last year by teammate Tom DeBlois (No. 33) when he rushed for the most yards in a
game, 235-yards in 11 carries; the longest run from scrimmage, a 94-yard touchdown sprint, and the average
yards per carry in a game with 21.4. Griffin’s performance earned him co-player of the week honors in the

Eastern College Athletic Conference.

THE UNIVERSITY AT ALBANY

State University at Albany is the oldest of the more than 70 units within the State University of New York (SUNY) educational
system. Established in 1844 by the New York State Legislature, the school opened in a depot formerly owned by the Mohawk and
Hudson Railroad with a student body numbering 34 and five instructors.

The university was moved to its present (and fifth location) in the mid-1960’s while the campus, designed by Edward Durell
Stone, was still under construction. The final facility, Mohawk Tower, was completed in 1972. The campus is located on 505 acres
at the western edge of the city of Albany at the junction of the New York State Thruway (Route 90) and the Northway (Route
87). It features four 23 story resident towers and the academic podium, a complex of 13 academic and administrative buildings
connected by a common roof and subterranean cor~idors.

As one of four university centers in the SUNY system, Albany offers more than 60 programs leading to a BS or BA degree; more
than 50 to a master’s; more than 30 to a doctorate and seven to a Specialist Certificate.

Football is one of 11 men’s varsity sports. The others are baseball, basketball, cross-country, golf, lacrosse, soccer, swimming,
tennis, track and field, and wrestling. The women’s sports includes varsity competition in tennis, track and field, swimming,
softball, gymnastics, and basketball.

Athletic facilities, located on the south side of the campus, include the physical education building. This structure houses three
basketball courts, a swimming pool, wrestling room, two auxiliary gyms, handball and squash courts, and a weight training room.
Outdoor areas include 24 tennis courts, an all-weather track, cross country course, and fields for football, soccer, lacrosse, and back
to back baseball diamonds.

The University at Albany is affiliated with the National Collegiate Athletic Association, Division III, Eastern College Athletic
Conference, Division III, State University of New York Athletic Conference, and the IC4A.


THE COACHES

COACH FORD

Dr. Robert M. Ford is the first and only coach to have guided the
Great Dane football team. He was appointed in 1970 to build a football
program from scratch, with no recruiting, no equipment, and very few
players.

Beginning his sixth year as head football coach he can look back on
the past five years with a sense of accomplishment. Since becoming a
varsity team in the fall of 1973 the Great Danes have compiled a
won-lost record of 16-2. In the fall of 1974, playing the first full varsity
‘schedule, Albany became the first varsity college football team in the
Albany area in 60 years to achieve a perfect record, nine wins, no
losses, and no ties.

In addition, the Danes attained the number one ranking in the
National Collegiate Athletic Association’s Division III in rushing
offense. The potent wishbone attack rolled up 3,254 yards in 536
carries for an average of 361.6 yards per game. Albany also finished
fourth in total offense in the nation in Division III with a 484.2 yards
per game average, and third in scoring with an average of 40.8 points
per contest.

In Lambert Bowl competition, the symbol of small college football
supremacy, Albany, in its first year in contention, finished seventh.

Ford, a native of Worcester, Mass., received his BS from Springfield
College, Springfield, Mass. in 1959. As an undergraduate he played
varsity football for the Chiefs for four years.

Following his graduation, he attended St. Lawrence University,
Canton, N.Y., where he earned his master’s degree and coached the freshman football team to a 4-1 record.

From 1961-64 he coached the offensive backfield at Albright College, Reading, Pa., which at that time had the longest winning i}
streak in the nation. i}

In 1965 he became the youngest head football coach in the nation when he was appointed to lead the Larries of St. Lawrence
University. Under Ford’s guidance, St. Lawrence won the Independent College Athletic Conference, and in 1967 he was named one
of the nation’s Outstanding Young Men by the Junior Chamber of Commerce.

In 1969 he returned to Springfield College where he earned his doctorate and was also defensive coordinator for the Chiefs
football team.

State University at Albany had decided in 1969, following an 18 month study by an ad hoc committee appointed by the
university president to institute football at the university at the earliest possible date. An additional position in the Physical
Education Department was approved in 1970. |

Over 40 applicants for the newly formed coaching position were received. On April 12, 1970, it was announced that Dr. Robert
M. Ford had been selected to guide Albany’s fledgling football team. The rest, as they say, is history.

COACH AXMAN

Steve Axman begins his first year as the only full-time member of
Bob Ford’s football staff. The native of Huntington, N.Y., coaches the
offensive line and in the spring is the varsity lacrosse coach.

Axman came to Albany from East Stroudsburg State College in
Pennsylvania where he was defensive line coach for the Warriors.

He received his BA degree in history from C.W. Post in 1969. As an
undergraduate he played varsity lacrosse on an athletic scholarship. A
knee injury cut short his football career.

He received his master’s degree in education in 1972 from Long
Island University. While studying for his master’s Axman coached
football and lacrosse at Freeport and Bethpage High Schools.

In 1973 he was voted North Short Coach of the Year for leading
General Douglas MacArthur High School to a 7-2 record, the first
winning season in the school’s 14 year history.

He joined the staff at East Stroudsburg State in 1974.

1975 GREAT DANES

THE CO-CAPTAINS

Seniors Arnie Will (standing) and John Bertuzzi share
co-captain honors for the second consecutive year. Will, a
5°10” 185 pound defensive cornerback from Troy, N.Y., has
been co-captain for the Great Dane football team each year in
his four year career. Will, a business major, received honorable
mention in the Eastern College Athletic Conference last year
for his work against Alfred University in the Danes’ 7-6 win.
Bertuzzi, a mathematics major from Oneonta, N.Y., has
piloted the Albany wishbone attack since his freshman year.
The 5°9” 165 pounder was named to the ECAC All-East team
last year when he led the Danes to a 33-7 victory over Hofstra.

NORWICH SCOUTING REPORT
|

By Robert Ford

The Cadets of Norwich University have a sub-par record
coming into this afternoon’s contest. They have been riddled
with injuries, however, since the start of the football season.
Starting quarterback Walt Houghtaling suffered a broken ankle
in one of the initial outings and fullback Joe Lusardi has
undergone knee surgery. When Norwich is healthy, they can be
a very competitive team. Their game against Tuffs two weeks

The Cadets run from the wishbone offense. They have two
very fine running backs in Sam Pizzimenti (No. 42) and Don
Brown (No. 37). Both have very good size, Pizzimenti is 5’11”’,
195 pounds, and Brown is 6’ 200 pounds, and speed, which
gives Norwich an excellent inside and outside running game.
At the controls will be quarterback Nick Bonvino (No. 11), a
5'11", 185 pound senior who possesses a very good passing
arm.

THE NORWICH DEFENSE

Norwich plays a very aggressive 4-4 defense. The line iis
anchored by 6’2’", 210 pounder Vince Arduini (No. 71), and
Bob Moylen (No. 79) 5’9’’, 190 pounds, a touch duo against
the run. The linebackers are extremely suitable for the 4-4.
They plug very well against the run. On the outside are John
Eburn (No. 55), 61’, 210 pounds and Kevin Earl (No. 43),
5'11’", 170 pounds. Inside the Danes will be facing No. 50 Bob
Sylva, 5’11"7, 190 pounds and Mark Berthold (No. 27), a 5°10”
195 pound senior.

The biggest asset for the defense is their aggressive,
hard-nosed brand of play.

In order for us to win, we must be able to establish
ourselves inside to make our outside game effective. To make
it on the inside is dependent on our ability to control the
defensive tackles.

Defensively, we will have to cut off the power running of
Pizzimenti and Brown and make sure quarterback Bonvino
does not have time to hit his receivers.

The job for the Danes will not be easy.

THE NORWICH OFFENSE

INSIDE ALBANY FOOTBALL

The Special Teams By Robert Ford

The advent of two platoon football precipitated ‘special
teams.’’ Many professional teams place so much emphasis on
these units that they even hire a ‘‘special teams’’ coach. What
are these teams? Who plays on them? What is their
contribution to a team’s success?

The teams usually consist of eight-different units. They can
be totally separate units, or a combination of starters and
substitutes.

Special teams are composed of the kick off return, kick off,
field goal and extra point, the punt and punt return, the goal
line and possibly the extra point defensive unit. Each team
needs different qualities to be successful.

KICK OFF RETURN TEAM

(54) Berndt (72) Russell (67) Abramovich (71) Roncone (84) Fousek

(36) Ruggles (24) Duprey (34) Brunelle (83) O'Neil

(25) Griffin
The kick off return unit consists of five front people

selected for their blocking ability; speed and agility is also a
consideration. The second line consists of four people who are
good blockers and adequate runners. The last two on the
kickoff return team are selected primarily for their running
ability.

KICKOFF TEAM

(12) Scurry

(41) Matroni (32) Allison (86) Thompson (70) Paeglow (26) C. Smith (57) Shields (43) McDonough (60) Jordan

(14) Hemierly (55) Will

(7) Martin (K)

The kick off unit has a kicker who is an expert in the place
kick, two safeties who are sure tacklers in addition to
possessing speed. The other eight members of the team are
hitters who have speed.

PUNT TEAM

(22) Baxter (70) Paegiow (67) Abramovich (67) Sheuchenko (72) Russell (71) Ronco. (40) Pollard

(36) Ruggles (34) Brunelle (16) Ahonen

(25) Griffin
The punt team has two specialists, a center who can snap

the ball the 13-yards in 8/10ths of a second accurately and a
punter who can get the ball away in 1.2 seconds or less and
can get a four second hang on a 35-yard kick. The front six are
selected for their blocking ability, speed and _ tackling
proficiency. The wedge is selected for physical toughness.

PUNT RETURN TEAM

(32) Allison (82) Adamson (80) Dignan (87) Vidot (76) Joiner (84) Fousek (60) Jordan (41) Matroni

(13) Gay (12) Scurry
The punt return unit has a specialist or two to go deep to
catch the punt. Sure hands, plus clear thinking are assets back
there. The other members of the unit are selected for speed
plus blocking ability.

(21) Brown

Who plays on these teams besides the specialists? Whenever
possible non-starters man these positions. Does this mean these
units are unimportant? Just the opposite is true — they are
very important — in fact in close games they are always the
deciding factor. It is helpful to get fresh people in on these
units, because in most cases they involve a lot of running.
Second, the special team membey takes pride in what he is
doing and works hard to perfect the ‘init he is on. Because he
knows he will play, he works harder during the week and
hopefully becomes a better football player.

The special teams see a great deal of action. They probably
are involved in one-quarter of the total game action.

We are proud of the jobs that our special teams do for us.
They have contributed greatly to our past successes.

The extra point and field goal unit has three specialists: the
center, the holder, and the kicker. All three are skilled
performers and difficult to find and develop. The other eight
unit members are selected for size and physical toughness.

NORWICH UNIVERSITY

Norwich University, the oldest private military college in
the country, was founded in 1819 by Captain Alden Partridge,
who was educated at Dartmouth College and the U.S. Military
Academy and served as superintendent of the Academy during
his years of active duty in the Army.

A progressive educator, Captain Partridge introduced the
citizen-soldier concept to the nation’s campuses in establishing
the first private military college to include in its curriculum
military training for civilian students. His was also the first
college in America to offer courses in engineering to civilians.

Academic programs at Norwich are still carried out in a
military environment. All male students are members of the
N.U. Corps of Cadets for the full four-year undergraduate
program. Membership in the Corps is also open to women on a
voluntary basis.

Freshmen and sophomores are required to take the basic
Army or Air Force ROTC courses. Students, male or female,
who successfully complete the advanced course in ROTC
receive commissions as Army or Air Force officers.

While maintaining its military tradition, Norwich offers
four-year undergraduate programs to both men and women in
a number of disciplines. This fall there are approximately 950
men and 100 women in residence on the Norwich campus in
Northfield, Vermont.

At the University’s Vermont College in nearby Montpelier,
two-year programs leading to associate degrees are offered to
resident and day students in such areas as child study, criminal
justice, human services, liberal arts, nursing, and secretarial
science. There are about 370 men and women at V.C. this fall.

Barry Mynter (center) is in his first year as head
coach of football at Norwich University. He had been
defensive coordinator for the Cadets for ten years
prior to his present appointment. He is an assistant
professor of physical education and coached the
Norwich ski team to three consecutive EISA Division
I championships prior to assuming his head coaching
duties this fall.

With Mynter are Cadet co-captains Pat Murray (No.
41), a senior from Randolph, Mass. and Joe Lusardi, a
senior fullback from Rockaway, N.J., who has been
lost for the season due to a knee injury.

BICENTENNIAL ALLIANCE

The National Bicentennial Sports Alliance probably sounds,
at first earful, like 1) another attempt to create a bureaucracy
aimed at overseeing the world of amateur athletics, or 2) a
nightmare for the guy who writes newspaper headlines.

A headline nightmare it may be. A bureaucracy it is not.

The NBSA, sponsored by the American Revolution
Bicentennial Administration (ARBA), represents the avenue
through which national sports and athletic organizations can
provide invaluable assistance toward furthering the objectives
of the nation’s Bicentennial celebration which is already in
progress.

The NCAA was approved as a charter member of NBSA in
July and John Warner, administrator of ARBA, said, “The
success of the Bicentennial will be judged on the number of
participants, not spectators, and the Sports Alliance has the
potential of involving millions of Americans directly in the
commemoration.”

The purpose of the Sports Alliance is to promote active
participation in the celebration of the nation’s 200th birthday.

“The NBSA is the umbrella concept that will permit every
NCAA member institution to play a key role in the
Bicentennial,” said Jack DeGange, sports information director
at Dartmouth College and chairman of the NCAA Bicentennial
Committee.

“It means, DeGange added, ‘‘that any college can use the
national Bicentennial symbol in conjunction with athletic
events and display the Bicentennial flag at these events.”

Two important ways in which the Bicentennial already is
receiving stadium exposure this fall is through projects
involving the International Paper Company and the Chevrolet
Motor Division.

The official 1975 Bicentennial Medal has been donated to
each NCAA college by International Paper for use in pre-game
coin toss ceremonies. The donation of the medals (which are
available to the public) is designed to help raise funds
throughout the country for local, state, national and
international Bicentennial projects.

Through cooperation with Chevrolet, the official
Bicentennial Flags have been purchased for display at stadiums
of NCAA member institutions which will appear on television
as part of the ABC-TV college football series this fall.

The goal of the NCAA is to encourage colleges to work
actively in promoting the Bicentennial celebration (through
their own events and in cooperation with local, state, regional,
and national activities) during the current football season and
through the 1976 season.

“The objective is to use the exposure opportunities available
through college athletics to make a significant contribution to
the Bicentennial,”” said DeGange. ‘’Colleges are encouraged to
work independently and in conjunction with other institutions
and organizations.”

Four NCAA championship events scheduled in Philadelphia
next spring (basketball, fencing, gymnastics and outdoor track
and field) will be designated as Bicentennial events.

“The most important thing is to ‘Think Bicentennial’,” said
DeGange. “While there are a number of projects scheduled
that have national dimension, the flexibility available through
work with local and state Bicentennial agencies gives every
college a chance to develop valuable exposure for the nation’s
200th birthday.”
