^^^^^^^B THE LA SALLE STORY

La Salle College celebrated it£ Centennial Year in 1963 and now is well into its second century of service to higher education and the community of Philadelphia. The College was founded March 20, 1863 by the Brothers of the Christian Schools and derives its name from the founder of the Christian Brothers, St. John Baptist de La Salle. By 1929, having outgrown three previous locations in Philadelphia, the campus was moved to its present 30 acre site at 20th st. and Olney ave., in the East Germantown section of the city. The Evening Division was inaugurated in 1946 in response to the needs of industry throughout the metropolitan area. Since 1945, La Salle has experienced the most dramatic period of expansion in its history. Present enrollment in both Day and Evening Divisions is over 5,800 students as com- pared to the 1940 enrollment of about 400. In the last 16 years, twelve new buildings have been added to the campus. Both the Day and Evening Divisions offer degree programs in Arts and Sciences and Business Administration. Seven modern residence halls accommodate over 600 out of town students. A $2 million, three story College Union Building, completed in 1959, includes a Little Theatre as well as dining halls, assembly rooms, ballroom and other student facilities. The $2.5 million Science Center, which houses modern lecture rooms and laboratory facilities for study and research in Biology, Chemistry, Geology, Physics and Psychology opened in 1960. Now on the drawing boards are new dormitories, an athletic activities building, class- room building and chapel. Additional educational areas are located on a 52 acre campus in Elkins Park and on an 80 acre area in Springfield Township. The Army Artillery ROTC program was initiated in 1950 and now numbers more than 1500 cadets.

ATHLETICS STAFF

JAMES J. HENRY

Director of Athletics

It might be considered somewhat ironic that James J. Henry should be Director of Athletics at La Salle College, a school that has not had a football team since 1941, for football has played a great part in Jim Henry's life.

Before being graduated from Vil- lanova in 1930, Henry received All American honorable mention at 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 still offici- ates many of the nation's top grid contests, i.e., Navy-Notre Dame, Princeton-Harvard, Army-Navy.

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 34 years at La Salle—30 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 started 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 is a member of 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 (Second Season)

When Bob Walters was named head coach of the Explorers on 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.

He celebrated his return to the school by guiding the Explorers to their finest campaign in a decade during the 1963-64 season. La Salle finished with a 16-9 record and its first Big Five and ECAC Quaker City Holiday Tournament Cham- pionships.

Walters. 38, 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 sur- passed 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.

A native of Philadelphia, Walters attended St. Joseph's Prep. After graduating from La Salle College, he was head coach at Philadelphia's Roman Catholic High School for five seasons. Opposing coaches in the Catholic League at the time were Jack Kraft, of Villanova, and Jack Ramsay, of St. Joseph's.

Walters is a former president of La Salle's Endowment Foundation and present co-chairman of the college's special Gifts Committee. A resident of suburban Meadowbrook, Pa., he and his wife, Frances, have four children: Susan, 19; Robert W., Jr., 15; William, 14, and Chris- topher, 12.

JOSEPH W. HEYER

Freshman Basketball Coach (Second Season)

Joseph W. Heyer, one of the finest all-around guards in La Salle College history, returned to the Ex- plorers for his collegiate coaching debut and compiled a fine 12-1 record last year, after a highly suc- cessful tenure at Philadelphia's Cardinal Dougherty High.

After graduating from La Salle in 1960, Heyer guided the Cardinals to the final game of the Catholic League Playoffs all three years of his coaching reign. His overall record was 54-20.

Heyer also coached baseball and taught history and gym at Cardinal Dougherty. He plans to continue his teaching duties while working for a Masters degree in Education at Temple University, besides coaching the Explorer yearlings.

A 26 year-old native of Philadelphia, Heyer scored a total of 928 points during his varsity career at La Salle from 1957 to 1960. During the 1958-59 campaign, he became only the fourth junior in La Salle history to go over the 400 point mark in single-season scoring, finish ing with 402.

Heyer was named to the Middle Atlantic Conference First team in his junior year, and Philadelphia's All Big Five team, the following campaign.

TEZSLA . . . TEZZ' -la PROSPECTS FOR THE SEASON

By Coach Bob Walfers

Sophomores will probably determine the destiny of La Salle this year against another extremely tough schedule. We have five talented lettermen back, but lose two-thirds of our big frontline (Frank Corace and Walt Sampson) who combined for almost half of our total offense and 60% of our rebounding.

Corace, of course, is the type of ballplayer who cannot be replaced overnight. Frank was indispensable, not only as a scorer but a rebounding threat and team-leader, as well. He finished his career as the third leading scorer in the school's

history and it will probably be a while before we have such a fine shooter again. Rebounding leader George Sutor, who occasionally has looked like one of the best forwards in the East, and playmaker Curt Fromal, who did a terrific job of playmaking last year, appear to be the only lettermen with starting jobs secure. Sutor, of course, is still recovering from his foot injury, but he must give a consistent effort in the pivot for La Salle to be a winner.

As for the other veterans, starting guard Joe Cunnane, a defensive standout and adequate ball-handler, might have rough competition from the sophs unless he improves his shooting eye. Forwards Al Tezsla and Harry Carpenter are both excellent rebounders who have started occasionally in the past and could return to the top five with a little more offensive polish. We missed Harry's tremendous hustle quite a bit last year when he was sidelined for a month with that shoulder separation.

Otherwise, it's up to the sophomores. If they develop as expected, we should have a stronger defense, and more speed. We won't score as much this year, perhaps, but better defense should make this a stronger all-around club — IF the sophs come through. Chief newcomers include forward George Paull, who led the frosh in scoring and rebounding; guard Hubie Marshall, and guard-forward Chuck Storm. Paull and Marshall have been very impressive in pre-season drills and appear headed for starting berths. Storm, who can play well anywhere, should also make a great college performer. Another good prospect, especially in rebounding, is Bill Snow, who has tremendous leaping ability but needs more offensive polish.

All the boys mentioned above, as well as guards Bill Magarity and Ed Burke, showed great hustle and spirit for last year's (12-1) freshmen. They should be welcome fix- tures on the varsity. Rounding out the squad is junior Jerry Marano, who should fill in well as a front-court reserve.

Unfortunately, the sophomores must mature in a hurry against our competition which is some of the toughest in the nation. In December alone, we must face Miami, Niagara, Seattle, Penn and St. John's in the Holiday Festival —a tough challenge for even the most experienced team. In all, 10 of our 22 opponents participated in post-season tournaments last year. MEET THE EXPLORERS

(*) Returning Lettermen

Edward J. Burke Soph. 18 6'0" 172 Philadelphia The fourth leading scorer on last year's freshman team (12.7 ppg). Eddie has the savvy to become one of the top backcourt reserves. A good playmaker with an adequate set shot, his best game was 23 points against Temple's yearlings. He captained St. Joseph's Prep's 1962-63 varsity under coach John (Jocko) Collins, presently a member of La Salle's court staff, and regards winning the previous year's Catho- lic League basketball title his greatest thrill in sports. Has three brothers and one sister. A French-Education major who plans teaching as a career.

*Harry J. Carpenter

Sr. 23 6'5" 200 Philadelphia An inspirational type ballplayer who gives the Explorers a tremendous lift with his hustle and deter- mination. Harry hopes to regain the starting frontcourt position which he lost because of a shoulder separation suffered in the final minute of the Quaker City championship triumph over St. Bonaventure. He suffered another jolt in the Spring when he was forced to withdraw from school due to an attack of mononucleosis, but is now physically fit arud ready to go. A tireless re bounder, particularly under the defensive boards. Harry earned his starting shot early last year by coming off the bench against Lehigh and hitting 6 of 8 shots from the field for a career scoring high of 15 points. His rebounding high of 17 came against Lehigh as a sophomore He's led the Explorers in both field goal percentage and free throw accuracy for two years in a row, thereby dispelling the myth that he couldn't shoot consistently. He played center for present Villanova coach Jack Kraft at Bishop Neumann High, and helped beat his old coach last year with two last minute free throws that clinched the big, 63-59, upset over the Wildcats— his greatest thrill in sports. Has a younger brother and sister. An Industrial Management major who plans career in sales or management.

Not a great scorer (5.4 ppg), he won quite a few games with outstanding defense. Playing as the "chaser" in coach Walters' "box and one" type defense, he held Georgetown's Jim Christy to only one field goal after the Hoya sharpshooter had scored 30 points against Loyola's defending NCAA champs the night before. He held Syracuse's Dave Bing to eight and Manhattan's Matt Link to four in the second half after the latter riddled La Salle's zone in the first half for 18 points. Offensively, he hit a career high of 10 points against Miami (Fla.) and Temple. His greatest thrill in sports, however, came from a crucial last-minute steal against St. Bonaventure that preserved an 83-80 win for the Quaker City title. Joe lettered at La Salle High for three years and captained Little Explorers in senior year. Has four brothers. Accounting Major who plans to become a CPA.

*Curtis E. Fromal Sr. 21 5'9" 148 Folsom, Pa. Curt emerged as one of the most improved players in the city last year and clinched La Salle's playmaking duties with some flashy ballhandling, clutch scoring and dazzling fast-break maneuvers. He finished as La Salle's third leading scorer with a 12.7 average. Perhaps his greatest game was against Canisius when he scored his career high of 25 including 6 for 11 from the field, hit 13 straight from the free throw line and handed off nine assists. He had 22 against Bucknell, Georgetown and Manhattan and thrilled Madison Square Garden fans in the latter game with some spectacular second-half playmaking which helped the Explorers overcome a 13 point deficit. He also hit 13 straight free throws in the second half to help upset Utah State. Such perform- ances earned the blond speedster a first team berth on the ECAC "All East" team and honorable mention on other "All East," "All State" and "All Middle Atlantic Conference" squads. Before last year, Curt had been able to play only one varsity season (1961-62). Academic difficul- ties forced him to drop out of school after averaging 21 ppg. for La Salle's 1959-60 freshmen. Then after returning for a year, he had to withdraw again due to the tragic death of his father and subsequent ill- ness of his mother. Curt lettered in cross country and basketball for three years at Ridley Township High, captained the court squad in his senior year and made All County, All State and honorable mention Scholastic All American. His greatest thrill in sports was scoring 35 points, including winning goal in final seconds, to beat powerful scholastic arch-rival Chester High, in 1959. Has three brothers and two sisters. A Pre-Law major who plans teaching career.

An All State basketball star for two straight years at Coatesville High, Hubie has an excellent chance of breaking into La Salle's starting backcourt. He's a highly-poised playmaker who improved his shooting considerably last year as his 16 ppg. average indicates. His best game was 23 against Seton Hall during a come-from-behind Explorer triumph. Moreover, he led the team in free throw accuracy (78.6%) and finished second in field goal percentage (45.7). Hubie set a host of scholastic and Ches-Mont League records including a career total of 1,231 points and a single game high of 50 in his final home game against Pottstown, the latter, his greatest thrill in sports. His team went unbeaten in 55 league games during that span but was eliminated by the eventual state champion, Plymouth-Whitemarsh, in the District II playoffs, in his senior year. Hubie played both guard and forward in high school. He has four brothers and one sister. A marketing major who plans sales as a career.

George S. Paull Soph. 19 6'4" 190 Philadelphia

George appears slated for a starting frontcourt position after a brilliant freshman campaign in which he led the Explorer yearlings in scoring (210), rebounding (166) and field goal percentage (46.1). He averaged 19.1 points and 15.1 rebounds a game with highs of 32 points against St. Joseph's and 30 rebounds against Temple. Extremely tough under the boards, George has the potential to be an outstanding college star. He set a single season scoring record of 265 points at Cardinal Dougherty High where he made All Catholic in his senior year, captained team, and starred in baseball—another sport in which he will represent the Explorers. He followed his high school coacn Joe Heyer to La Salle and helped the Explorer yearlings share the Big Five title with a 12-1 record, last year. He has two brothers and a sister and is majoring in Liberal Arts.

William J. (Bill) Magarity

Soph. 19 5'10" 160 Phila.

Bill became the top backcourt reserve for the Explorer yearlings last year after recovering from a broken leg suffered the first week of practice. He averaged 6.2 ppg., but scored his high of 24 to spark the big upset over St. Joseph's prev- iously unbeaten freshmen, and reg ister his greatest thrill in sports. His peppery floor leadership and play making ability should make him a valuable backcourt reserve, especially if he improves his shooting percentage. Magarity's father, Bill, played football for La Salle and his cousin, Dan McDyre, captained the Explorers' track team and won the Penn Relays' javelin title In 1963. Bill lettered in football (quarterback) and basketball at La Salle High twice, co captained the court squad and made honorable mention All Catholic his senior year. Has five brothers and two sisters. A Fmi.hu a major who plans a business career. Gerald A. (Jerry) Marano Junior 20 6'5" 195 Lafayette Hill, Pa. Jerry didn't see too much action in the frontcourt until after last year's halfway mark, but did some creditable work against Lafayette and Western Kentucky. Not a pro- lific scorer, he does his best work under the boards. He appears to be much stronger, physically, this year. Career highs are four points and same number of rebounds against Western Kentucky. Lettered in track and captained basketball team at La Salle High. Has one sister. Plans to enter Chemistry field, his major, after graduation.

Year Games Field Goals Foul Goals Rebounds Points PPG. 1963-64 10 4 2 19 10 1.0

William H. (Bill) Snow Soph. 19 6'3" 187 Philadelphia

A tremendous leaper, Bill could become a top frontcourt reserve with a little more game experience. He worked his way into the starting freshman lineup at mid-season at center last year and responded with some great rebounding, and clutch scoring. His highs were 23 points and 15 rebounds against Villanova, but he missed the last three games of the year due to academic deficiencies. He still finished as the second top rebounder on the team. An outstanding track star, Bill was the Catholic League high jump champion in his junior year at Roman Catholic High and hurdles champ as a senior. His greatest thrill was scoring I2V2 points to lead Roman to League Team Track title in 1962. He's majoring in Sociology and plans a career in social work.

Charles L (Chuck) Storm Soph. 19 6'2" 182 Philadelphia Considered by many to have the best overall potential on last year's freshman team. Chuck's only blem- ish on an otherwise brilliant campaign was his academic problems which caused him to miss the last three games. Now academically healthy, he should fit well into coach Walters' hustling offensive and defensive tactics. He scores consistently, (14.0 ppg. last year), can play anywhere, has tremendous moves both with and without the ball and plays excellent defense. His best game was a 25 point performance against Penn. Chuck lettered for three years at Roman Catholic High where he averaged 20 points and 15 rebounds and made the Scholastic All Catholic All American squad his senior year. He also excelled in baseball (short- stop) at Roman. Has three sisters and one brother. He's majoring in Marketing and plans a career in advertising or sales.

10 *George J. Sutor

Sr. 22 67" 215 Philadelphia The team's top rebounder for two straight years, George has been switched from forward to center this season and is expected to carry much of the Explorers' scoring burden. He was second in that category last year with a 14.1 average and third in scoring as a soph. Although he failed to match individual career highs (26 points vs. Gettysburg and 23 rebounds vs. Brigham Young) set as a sophomore, George's overall game improved considerably last year. Reporting 20 pounds lighter than a year ago, he improved his offensive moves and defensive re- actions quite a bit, and at times looked like one of the best big men in the East. Perhaps his best all-around games came in victories over St. Joseph's and Villanova when he had 17 points and 10 rebounds in the former and 18 points and 12 rebounds in the latter. His main problem seems to be inconsistency, especially on defense—something that the Explorers cannot afford with George being the only big man in the lineup this year. He was a third team scholastic All American center at Father Judge High and also starred in track. Last spring, he finished second in the shotput in the Middle Atlantic Conference track championships with a distance of 52'6". Has six brothers. He is majoring in Liberal Arts.

Alexander D. (Al) Tezsla

Sr. 21 6'4" 200 Trenton, N.J. Strong as an ox under the boards, Al's hustle and rebounding ability might result in a starting berth after two years of reserve duty. An occa- sional starter in the past, he finally asserted himself in the second half

of the campaign last year. It started against Manhattan when he came off the bench and scored eight points and grabbed the same number of rebounds in a ten minute span. For the rest of the year he contmu ally gave the Explorers a lift when one of their big men got into trouble and played the best game of his career against Utah State with nine clutch points and eight rebounds in the final minutes. His career highs are 13 points last year against Albright and 12 rebounds as a soph against Miami. He was hampered by numerous ankle sprains through out his first varsity campaign. He was an All Delaware Valley selection and teammate of Seton Hall's great Nick Werkman at Trenton Catholic High. Has one sister. Majoring in Economics.

1. ALBRIGHT COLLEGE

Wednesday, December 2, 8:30 P.M. (EST), at Reading, Pa.

(Series Record: La Salle 19, Albright 2)

Location: Reading, Pa. Nickname: Lions Enrollment: 900 Colors: Cardinal & White Conference: Middle Atlantic 1963-64 Record: 14-12

(College) Letterman: Returning 6, Lost 2 Coach: Wilbur Renken Co-Captains: Tom Davis and (W-122, L-114) Rich Kaufman Publicity: Paul Lucas Outlook: Loses only one starter (guard Jim McNeill) and should improve. Forward Dick Kaufman and guard Mike Klahr carry most of the scoring burden and had 16 and 13 points respectively, against La Salle last year. Tough small college squad always poised to spring the big upset. Lacks height but impresses with speed and defense.

L-121) Lettermen: Returning 5, Lost 4 Publicity: John M. Morris Captain: Mike Osowski Outlook: Prospects for winner grim. Four starters graduated, and no player returns with scoring average higher than guard Gerry Gallucio's 5.7 or rebound average better than Mike Osowski's 3.5. Guard Ed Szczerba (4.3 ppg.) is the only other experienced returnee. Help must come from mediocre frosh squad or second-liners. But Hens are always tough at home.

18 ......

Outlook: All American Rick Barry (32.1 ppg. and 16.6 ppg) will assure another big winner despite tougher schedule. Three other starters return but only veteran guard John Dampier (19.3 ppg.) and forward Wayne Beckner (12.1 ppg) appear set. Sophs Junior Gee. supposedly best playmaker ever at Miami, and Ed Spriggs (center) should start. Team might have best depth in history.

Saturday, December 12, 9:00 P.M. (EST), Niagara Falls, N.Y.

Outlook: Team is experienced, but doesn't expect to do much better than break even due to the toughest schedule in years. Eagles have fair height, speed and scoring ability, but lack "big man" and solid backcourt. Keep your eye on 6'3" forwards Joe White and Art Coleman and 6'6" center George Phillips.

Outlook: Despite losing two of top three leading scorers, team expects to be much stronger thanks to four hot-scorers from finest frosh team in school's history. Guard Charlie Williams (16.3 ppg ) should be even better and sophs 6'6" Tom Workman (23.4 ppg.) and Malkin Strong are both great prospects. Team is deeper and stronger both or offense and defense; should be one of nation's best.

19 . .

Outlook: Will improve thanks to such talented and experienced stars as All-Ivy Leaguers Jeff Neuman and Stan Pawlak, and good-shooting sophs. Rebounding is main problem; could be solved by improvement from 6'8" center John Hellings. Only playmaker Ray Carazo graduated from starting ranks, so Quakers should have solid bench.

Outlook: Team has everything but good "big man" and could be best in East. Won 9 of last 11 in 1963-64 and loses only one starter, captain- playmaker Dan Waddleton. Brothers Ken and Bob Mclntyre averaged 15.9 and 14.9 ppg.; should improve. Sophs up from 21-1 frosh campaign include 6'7" Lloyd Dove (19.9 ppg.) and Ed Hill and could make this the greatest team in school's history.

Outlook: Will not improve last year's record unless defense improves and sophs develop. Often-injured 6'8" center Ron Krick appears headed for banner year, though, and 6'6" Gene Smith should carry rebounding load. Sophs Mike Rolf, who broke several Oscar Robertson frosh marks, and Ken Calloway, both 6'6", should make frontcourt extremely tough.

Outlook: Will improve since six lettermen, including top three scorers and rebounders, return. They are Preston Denby (18.2), Dan Kristoff (17.0) and Dave Brown (12.2). Denby, at 6'4", is not enough to alleviate the height problem, however, and a mediocre frosh squad promises little help. Still, team will be tough, especially at home.

Outlook: The nation's third toughest defensive club last year could be even better if sophs Ray Faczan and Steve Satir come through. George Strouse (755 pts. in 2 years) is key to offense that will be further strengthened if Bob Morris recovers from injuries that sidelined him much of last year.
