A veteran of three wars (WW II, Korea and Vietnam), Conboy served on the ROTC staff at La Salle from 1960-64. Conboy was a member of St. Joseph's Prep's last city championship football team in 1939. After three years of World War II service in Europe, Conboy enrolled at Georgetown where he played football for two years before transferring to La Salle. He was assistant football coach at St. Joseph's Prep from 1948 to 1950. He also coached Army football and basketball teams in Europe and Hawaii and organized a triathlon team at La Salle which produced three former members of the U.S. Army modern pentathlon team- Don Walheim, Bill Conroy and Gary McNulty.

During the latter period, O'Donnell coached the school's soccer squad and was cred- ited with developing 28 All-Catholic players, four of whom achieved All-Scholastic honors, and one All- American status. In 1970-71 O'Donnell moved to a full-time position with the City of Philadelphia as recreation leader at the Jardel Center. He was a member of the Department of Recreation Soccer Committee, and also assisted BiN Wilkinson with the 1970 Explorer soccer team which posted the first winning season in the college's history. O'Donnell, 30, and his wife, Marie, reside in northeast Philadelphia. Charles M. Loughran Equipment Manager MEET THE EXPLORER COACHING STAFF PAUL W. WESTHEAD Head Basketball Coach La Salle College basketball coach Paul W. Westhead, 35, has rapidly established himself as one of the better young strategists in the game. In 1974- 75, he was named District 2 "Coach of the Year" by the National Association of Basketball Coaches. Westhead has a career won-lost record of 81-53 (.604). His 1974-75 squad dropped its final game, an 87—83 overtime heartbreaker to Syracuse in NCAA first round action, but still enjoyea one of the most satis- fying campaigns in La Salle's history with a 22—7 record and four major championships. Westhead guided a predominately young club (only one senior) to 11 straight victories at one point and wins in 16 of its first 17 games. At mid-season the Explorers were seventh in the Associated Press national rankings. They won the Dayton Invitational, the Sugar Bow! Classic, Philadelphia's prestigious Big Five title, and the East Coast Conference Championship. Westhead made his Explorer debut in 1970-71 by capturing and Villanova, and participating in the NIT. Westhead began his career at Cheltenham High in 1964, gradu- ally building a winning tradition, which culminated in the subur- ban Philadelphia school's first appearance ever in the P. I. A. A. state finals in 1968. From 1968 to 1970, Westhead served as assistant athletic freshmen to an unparalleled 21—2 season. The Explorer coach added some additional credits during the summer of 1972 when he coached the Santurce team of the Puerto Rican "Superior" league to a first place regular season finish.
