JOSEPH'S 3 Mikan ‘Held' to 24 points by St. Joseph’s in De Paul’s last visit to Hall Court G EO R G E MIKAN, the best of De Paul's basketball products and recognized as the court star of all times, has appeared on the Convention Hall boards a number of times as a pro star with the Minneapolis Lakers, but his college career included but one visit to the Hall. Opposing St. Joseph's back in the early part of the 1943-44 campaign, ''Mr. Basketball," racked up 24 points (10 goals, 4 fouls) as De Paul took over the Hawks, 64-56. That game, incidentally, was the Blue Demons' last appear­ ance on this court. De Paul has, however, played here seven times before, losing but once. St. Joseph's put over a 52-43 triumph in 1942. Incidentally, in that Mikan-led win for De Paul in 1943, Harry Litwack, present Temple coach, was one of the officials. The other was Warren Weiler, who is a spectator tonight. Temple and De Paul are meeting for the first time on the court. Ron Feiereisel, captain of the Windy City aggregation, led the charge for his team in the first tilt with La Salle this winter at Madison Square Garden, the Demons' leader banking 26 points. He was a standout against the Ex­ plorers in the return match at Chicago—also a victory for De Paul—but Ken Loeffler, La Salle mentor, figured that smallish Jim Lamkin was the fellow who turned the tide in the second game. Ray Meyer, who has been coaching—and very successfully, too—De Paul since the 1942-43 season, is a Notre Dame graduate and was a standout bas- eteer for the Irish in the late 1930's when the late George Keogan tutored Notre Dame. During his more than 10 seasons at the De Paul helm, Meyer has seen his basketeers win at a better than .700 rate. Four times Meyer-coached De Paul quintets have gone to either the NCAA or National Invitational tournaments. St. Joseph's will have to upset La Salle tonight in order to remain in the running for the mythical city championship.

With 12 NCAA Tournament berths in the last 14 seasons, seven Sweet Sixteen appearances, a pair of consecutive Final Four showings, and the 2002 national championship – the first of its kind in Maryland basketball history – Williams and his staff have literally forged what is now more than a decade of dominance in college basketball’s most storied and competitive conference. Now, with 378 victories as Maryland’s head coach, Williams is the school’s Terrapins all-time winningest head coach, eclipsing the mark of former Terp mentor Charles “Lefty” Driesell, who amassed 348 victories in 17 seasons from 1969-70 to 1985-86. The Terrapins have averaged 23.0 wins per year since the 1994-95 season. With 585 career victories in 29 seasons overall, Williams is the seventh-winningest active head coach in NCAA Division I men’s basketball. Williams was heralded as the national and ACC Coach of the Year during the Terps’ 2002 championship run. He is one of just 12 active coaches in America to boast a national title and one of only three in the conference. He has become the third-winningest coach in ACC history after transforming the Maryland program into one of the nation’s most formidable, and building a Baltimore-D.C.

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.

    “Gola Goal !”: A Tribute to Tom Gola Brother Joseph Grabenstein, FSC La Salle University Archivist St. Albert the Great Catholic Church Huntingdon Valley, PA Thursday, January 30, 2014 Monsignor Dougherty and Reverend Fathers. Caroline. Gola Family. And friends. A wise person once said that “Gratitude is the memory of the heart.” Well, every single person in this church today is so very thankful for one singular life, with lots and lots of memories of a man who touched countless lives and countless hearts. Tom, you were a man of strength, tempered with an unassuming personality and blessed with a touch of humility. A man of great accomplishment, but so very approachable. Winston Churchill once stated that we make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. Today, we remember you as a man who gave….and gave….and kept giving. And you gave the utmost respect and assistance to everyone… To your classmates and teammates both at La Salle High School and at La Salle College To your Army buddies To your teammates on the Philadelphia Warriors and the New York Knicks To your Explorer players and fans of the Blue and Gold at old Convention Hall and at the Palestra, and even—if anyone can remember—that old creaky court in Wister Hall. To your colleagues at City Hall and in Harrisburg, and countless constituents. Tom, you were a real “people-person.” If one word comes close to summarizing your 81 years, it might be the word genuine. How many times, Tom, did you dish off the ball to a teammate and let him drive to the basket, instead of yourself? You always were an unselfish ballplayer.

The Col lege was founded March 20, 1863 by the Brothers of the Christian Schools. By 1929, having outgrown three previous locations in Philadelphia, the campus was moved to its present 30 acre site at 20th Street and Olney Avenue, in the Olney section of the city. The Evening Division was inaugurated in 1946 in response to the needs of Indus- try 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 nearly 5000 students, as compared to 1940 enrollment of about 400.
