Torn Harvey's Predictions Continue;
Scans American Football Conference
by Tom Harvey
Collegian Sports writer
After last week's revue of the
National Football Conference, I
thought it would be only fair to
give equal time to the A.F.C. So
here are my fearless predictions
on the 1971 football season.
AFC East
1. Baltimore Don- McCaf
ferty, head coach. The Colts
appear to be the team to beat in
the AFC_ The offense is sound
whether led by Earl Morrall or
John Unitas. Bulaich and Matte
lead the rushing crew, while
Hinton and Perkins head the
receivers. A bruising defense led
by the linebacking corps of
Curtis, May and Hendricks, and
the strong pass rush of Smith is
one of the toughest in the circuit.
The Colts should have no
problems in the East and will
probably be the AFC entry in the
Super. Bowl.
2. Miami Don Shula, head
coach. The offense is centered
around the rushes of Kiick and
Csonka and QB Griese has a fine
fleet of receivers headed by
Warfield that he can fire to. The
defense is young and maturing
with old pro Buoniconti leading
the youngsters. The young
Dolphins ha - ve improved from
last year and will give Baltimore
a battle for the top spot.
3. New York Weeb Ewbank
head coach. The offense is
respectable with Woodall - at QB
throwing to Maynard and Caster.
The rushing game has depth led
by Boozer, Snell, and Riggins.
The line is well schooled in the
protection of their QB. The
defense is rugged led by Philbin
and Grantham. The pre-mature
retirement of Sauer and
Thompson has hurt the Jets but
not as much as the loss of
Namath. The Jets offensive
thrust depends on Joe and this
year the won't be available until
it's too late.
4. Buffalo Harvey Johnson
head coach.. The offense is very
explosive with Shaw handing off
to Simpson or firing passes to a
fine fleet of pass catchers led by
Briscoe and Moses. The defense
is in the middle of a long needed
overhaul. Only strength is the
experience of linebackers
Stratton .and Guidry. The Bills
are in desperate need of defen
ders and won't pose a threat to
the Colts until these defenders
are acquired.
5. New England John Mazur
head coach. Super rookie Jim
Plunkett leids the offense and
has a top flight receiver in
Sellers. The running game is
sound with Nance and Garrett to

do most of the ball toting. The
defense is-weak but improving
with the addition of ex-Raider
Lassiter. The team has changed
location and name but the results
will remain the same.
1. Cleveland Nick Skorich
head coach. Nelson heads an
experienced_ and explosive of
fense. Kelly and Scott form a
potent 1 - 2 punch at running
back. Old pro Collins and tight
end Morin head the receiving
corps. The line is experienced
and tested led by Hickerson and
Schafrath. Led by Jones,
Johnson, Gregory and rookie
Scott, the defense holds the key to
Brown title hopes. The AFC
Central will be a dog fight and the
Browns' old hands will make the
difference.
2. Cincinnati Paul Brown
head coach. Offense is adequate
with Carter at QB. Rushing
game strong with Robinson and
Phillips*. Receivers led by
Trumpy and Thomas. Defense
strong point of Bengals game.
Front four led by Reid and
linebackers spearheaded by
Bergey. The Bengals are young
and hungry and could very easily
be in the top spot at season's end.
3. Pittsburgh Chuck Noll
head coach. Bradshaw heads the
offensive cast supported by
Fuqua, Pearson and Shanklin.
Defense main strength of
Steelers' game as led by Greene,
Russell and ex-PSU star Ham.
The young Steelers (11 out of 40
are rooks) will challenge for
central supremacy but outcome
hinges on performance of of
fense.
4. HoustOn Ed Hughes head
coach. Johnson and two rookies
(Pastorini and Dickey) fight for
QB shot. Rushing game sound
with Campbell and Dawkins.
Receivers led by Joiner. Defense
is sound especially when Webster
is healthy but more help is
needed. Houston seems to be
destined for the cellar.
1. Oakland John Madden
head coach. Offense potent and•
explosive with a cast led by
Lamonica. Biletnikoff and
Chester. Offensive line is best in
either league with Otto and
Upshaw leading the way.
Defense excellent with one of the
finest secondaries in the
business. Brown, Tatum,
Davidson and Connors head
defensive bruisers. With George
Blanda on the Raiders' side, how
can they lose?
2. Kansas City Hank Stram
head coach. Offense sputtered

last season, so Dawson may have
to work to explosive Otis Taylor
more often. Holmes and Podolak
lead the rushers behind a big and
talented line. Defensive unit
ranks as one of the best. Brown,
Culp, Buchanan form formidable
line backed by Lanier and Bell.
Chiefs will battle Oakland for
crown and have outside shot at
playoffs with best number 2
record.
3. San Diego Sid Gilliam
head coach. Hadl and Garrison
form nucleus of a fine pitch and
catch combination. Running
game strong with Garrett and
line improved from last year.
Defense needs shoring in line
with linebackers and secondary
more than adequate. Chargers
need a few miracles to go with
talent to grab titic..
4. Denver Lou Saban head
coach. Offense led by running of
Little and Anderson. Offensive

Behrend Booters
Evens Slate 2-2
by Tony Alo
Collegian Ass't Sports Editor
The Behrend Campus soccer
team broke even in its two
matches on the road last week.
Last Tuesday the Cub boosters
invaded Fredonia State for a
contest against the State junior
varsity and found themselves on
the short end of a 2-1 score. It was
Joe Ingrassia's goal with 4
minutes left that made the dif
ference and dropped the Cubs to a
1-2 score. It was Joe Ingrassia's
goal with 4 minutes left that
made the difference and dropped
the Cubs to a 1-2 mark for the
season. Hastings and Sanders
also hit for the winners with
Sanders collecting an assist. The
New Yorkers zipped 27 shots at
the Behrend goal while the Cubs
managed 18. John Hoge, assisted
by Bob Jeffery, collected the lone
BC hit after Fredonia scored
first. This lasted until Ingrassia
'connected. Ed Moore had 17
saves in another fine per
formance.
Saturday, the Cubs visited
conference rival - Altoona and
blanked the down-starters 3-0.
Jim Channus, Mike Marsh, and
Bob Jeffery each hit for Behrend
line strong at opening holes for
rushers. QB spot problem with
ex-Packer Horn learning new
system and to double woes, he
has no front line receiver.
Defense Bronco strong suit.. Led
by. Jackson and Duranko front
four as good as any in division.
Broncos need a passing game to
pose any threat to the Raiders.

and Bill Hildenbrand had two
assists as the Cubs peppered the
Altoona goal with 28 shots. Ed
Moore saved 13 enemy shots. The
article which appeared in the
Sunday Erie Times News tabbed
the 3-0 victory as Behrend's first
shutout in history. However, this
was incorrect, as Behrend
recorded its first shutout 3 years
ago against Dubois.
The Cubs have 2 home contests
against McKeesport Campus on
Saturday, October 16, and
Lorrain Community College on
Wednesday, October 20.
Captain Jim Channus currently
leads the team in scoring after 4
games with 3 goals, while Bob
Jeffery has 2. Jeffery leads in
assists with 4, while Bill
Hildenbrand and John Hoge each
have 2. Behrend has scored 9
goals after 4 games for a 2.25
average and the opposition has
scored 10 goals for a 2.5 average.
Ed Moore has recorded 55 saves
against 49 for the opposing
goalies.
