SELINSGROVE, Pa., Oct. 8 — Junior running back Dave Paveletz (Warrior Run, Pa,/Hanover Area) rushed 29 times for 122 yards and two touchdowns in Susquehanna University's dramatic 37–35 win on Homecoming night on Oct. 4 to earn the title of Gus Weber Crusader Football Player of the Week.

Paveletz will accept the Player of the Week honor at Susquehanna's weekly Quarterback Club luncheon on Oct. 10.

The luncheon takes place Fridays from 12–1 p.m. during Susquehanna University football season in the Apple Community Room of the university's James W. Garrett Sports Complex in Selinsgrove, Pa. An exception will be Oct. 24 this year because Susquehanna does not play on Oct. 25. Otherwise, the event will happen every Friday during the season whether the team is playing at home or away.

For the first time this season, no guest speaker will be present.

Susquehanna head football coach Steve Briggs and his staff will speak at the luncheon, show a highlight film and introduce Paveletz, who will also speak. SU's director of athletics communications Robert Healy, III will act as emcee and will give a synopsis of the past week in Crusaders athletics.

The weekly cost for admission and lunch at the event is $8.50. A yearly membership to the club is $40, which does not include the weekly fee for lunch. QB Club members receive season tickets in a special seating section and admission to the club's annual postseason awards banquet.

Jeff Edmunds, attorney-at-law, and the law firm Carpenter & Carpenter present $100 each week to the Player of the Week's favorite charity. Paveletz is donating the money to the Central PA Multiple Sclerosis Society.

The Crusader Football Player of the Week award is named in honor of the late Gustave Weber, who was Susquehanna's president from 1959 to 1977.
