HENRY ^r Director of Athletics m It might be considered somewhat ironic that James J. Henry should be rk ^j^ Director of Athletics at La Salle I ^^ ^^ College, a school that has not had a football team since 1941, for ^^ football has played a great part in ^~ "* ^^ Jim Henry's life. ^^1^^^ Before being graduated from ^k^^ Villanova in 1930, Henry received * All American honorable mention at ^^B^^' /* end, and when he came to La Salle in 1930 he was named line coach, then head coach in 1940 and 1941. In 1961 he was president of the Eastern Intercollegiate Football Officials Association, and he officiated many of the nation's top grid contests for some 25 years before retiring after the 1964 Army-Navy Game. Football, however, is only part of the story of Jim Henry, for he is a man devoted not merely to a single sport, but to athletics and what college athletics stand for. In his 35 years at La Salle—31 of which have been spent as Athletic Director—he has given of his time and energy equally for all sports. He coached the 1931 Explorer basketball team to a 15-4 record and helped organize La Salle's crew, the first Catholic College crew in the nation. A total .of nine varsity sports bring national recognition to the college through his guidance. Mr. Henry has served on many committees including the Eligibility Committee of the Middle Atlantic Conference and Holiday Tournament Selection Committee of the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference. He is also vice president of the Pennsylvania Hall of Fame and Maxwell Memorial Football Club. A Professor of Finance on La Salle's faculty, Henry received the honorary degree of doctor of law from the college in 1955. He and his wife have three adult children,- one of whom is a member of the Brothers of Christian Schools, the teaching order that conducts La Salle. ROBERT W. WALTERS Head Basketball Coach (Third Season) When Bob Walters was named head coach of the Explorers i April 8, 1963, he became the first alumnus to assume this position since Charles McGlone's three-year term ended at the end of the 1948-49 campaign. Now in his third season, Walters celebrated his return to the school by guiding the Explorers to their finest campaign in a decade in ' 1963-64. La Salle finished with a 16-9 record, its first Big Five title and the ECAC Quaker City Holiday Tournament Championship. Last year, the Explorers finished with a 15-8 record and appeared in the National Invitation Tourney. Walters, 39, carries an outstanding portfolio of previous basketball experience, including a brilliant career as a player, a tenure as assistant to the highly-regarded Ken Loeffler at La Salle, and a five year term as a high school coach. "One of the happiest and most enlightening years I've spent was under Ken," explains Walters, referring to the 1952-53 campaign when he was Loeffler's assistant. Because of the death of his father, Walters was forced to resign this position at the end of the season to devote full attention to his family's prosperous plumbing and air-conditioning contracting business. As a player, Walters was known for his great shooting, especially from the outside. He led the Explorers in scoring all four years of his varsity career (1943-47), finishing with a total of 1,193 points, which made him the all-time La Salle scoring leader until Larry Foust surpassed him three years later. In the 1945-46 season, Walters, a 5'10 guard, scored 367 points, then a Pennsylvania state scoring record. A two-time captain of the Explorers, Walters had the distinction of being the captain of La Salle's first post-season tournament team in 1947, when the Explorers finished runnerup in the Middle Atlantic Conference tourney. Walters was named to Philadelphia's All-City team three times and received All-State and honorable mention All-American recognition in his senior year.

    IAVA Recipient: Secretary Mattis Letter: Greetings, First, thank you for your service and sacrifice and for your incredible leadership that so many in the military and veteran community have experienced and respect. As you know, more than 1.5 million veterans have have educated themselves with the Post-9/11 GI Bill, and almost 70% of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) members have used or transferred this benefit to a dependent. It could very well be the most transformative federal benefit created. The new restriction on Post-9/11 GI Bill transferability to only those with less than 16 years of service is a completely unnecessary reduction of this critical benefit, and it will ultimately hurt our military recruitment and readiness. In a time of war, it remains enormously important to recruit and retain qualified servicemembers, especially with an ever-decreasing pool of eligible recruits. For years, IAVA has been at the forefront of this fight. We led the effort to establish this benefit in 2008 and we have successfully defended it in recent years. We cannot allow our GI Bill to be dismantled or abused. This is why I am standing with my fellow IAVA members to respectfully request that you reverse this counterproductive policy change that creates barriers to access to these transformative benefits. The GI Bill has been earned by millions of men and women on the battlefield and around the world and it should not be subjected to arbitrary restrictions that limit its use. Again, thank you for your leadership and I ask that you take action now to reverse this decision.

  • The First Question Any Social Enterprise Should Be Asking
    JERR’S JOURNAL July 17, 2014 The first question any social enterprise should be asking . I once spent three days working with The Shreveport-Bossier Rescue Mission, a safe haven for indigent men who needed a place to stay and nourishing food for up to seven days. The CEO asked me to meet with his entire Board and staff, help them understand social enterprise, and then facilitate a closing discussion about the shelter’s strategic direction. The first question I asked during the discussion came right from Peter Drucker’s playbook. In his seminal work The Practice of Management , he wrote that because the question “is so rarely asked – at least in a clear and sharp form -- and (is) so rarely given adequate study and thought, (it) is perhaps the most important single cause of business failure.” The question? “What business are you in?” Shouldn’t be that hard to answer, should it? Well . * * * * * Does anybody here remember Jack McKinney? During the summer of 1979, the Los Angeles Lakers hired an obscure, 44-year-old assistant coach from Portland to coach a team that featured Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the five-time NBA MVP, and a rookie point guard named Magic Johnson. Now, I grew up worshipping the (then) Minneapolis Lakers, even played in an abbreviated grade school game against one of our hated enemies during halftime of a Lakers game at the Minneapolis Auditorium. Those were the George Mikan, Jim Pollard, Vern Mikkelsen Lakers -- the original Big Three -- who won five NBA titles in six seasons from 1949 through 1954.

George Mikan, the 6'10" center of the Minneapolis Lakers died on Thursday at the age of 80. He was the first big man in professional basketball, the first in college basketball, and he was a key reason the NBA succeeded when other leagues had failed. Leonard Koppett in his history of the NBA called the first eight years of league existence the "The Mikan Era." That is certainly how I remember those years as a boy in Minneapolis. George Mikan led the Minneapolis Lakers to championship level play from 1947 through 1954, with a curtain call a bit later.
