Neither college tries to compete with the big-time football foundries in recruiting high-school stars; neither pampers its athletes with snap courses or "laundry money." "We give no outright scholarships at all," says Westminster Coach Harold Burry, who also coaches golf and swimming, besides teaching statistics. Says Waynesburg's athletic director, Clayton Ketterling: "We just pick up what's left over when the big schools get through...
