BASKETBALL 1962-63 „ A N D B O O K THE LA SALLE STORY

1863 Centennial Year 1963

La Salle College celebrates its Centennial Year, mark- ing 100 years of service to higher education and the Com- munity of Phi ladelphia, during the 1962-63 Academic Year.

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. In the last 15 years, ten new buildings have been added to the campus. Both the Day and Evening Divisions offer degree programs in Arts and Sciences and Business Administra- tion.

Six modern residence halls accommodate over 400 out of town students. The fifth and sixth units opened in September, 1962. 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 hous es modern lecture rooms and labora tory facilities for study and re search in Biology, Chemistry Geology, Physics and Psychology was opened in 1960. Now on the drawing boards are a new class- room building, a chapel and an athletic activities building.

Additional educational areas are located on the Elkins Park 52 acre campus and on an 80 acre area in Springfield Township. In 1950, the Army Artillery ROTC pro- gram was initiated and now numbers more than 1400 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 Villanova in 1930, Henry received Ail-American honorable mention as an end, and when he came to La ^^^M ^^^^ Salle in 1930, he was soon named line coach, I then head football coach in 1940 and 1941. ^H & ^H I In 1961 he was the president of the Eastern ^B jSjtt ^H I Intercollegiate Football Officials Association,

^^^M MR ^^^^m an

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 32 years at La Salle, 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. He also serves on the executive committee of the Middle Atlantic States Athletic Conference. La Salle's athletic director since 1934, Henry received the honorary degree of doctor of law from the college in 1955 and is now professor of Finance on the faculty. He and his wife have four adult children, one of whom is a member of the Brothers of the Christian Schools, the teaching order that conducts La Salle.

Donald W. (Dudey) Moore Head Basketball Coach IFifth Season)

This year beginning his fifteenth year of outstanding collegiate coaching, "Dudey" has long been ranked among the top coaches in college basketball, with a reputa- tion as one of the best defensive strategists in the game. In four seasons as head basketball coach at La Salle College and ten campaigns as Duquesne's court mentor, "Dudey" has com- piled a 254 won, 99 lost lifetime college record — an amazing .719 percentage that places him among the top twenty major college basketball coaches. In his initial four seasons at La Salle, "Dudey" has posted an impressive 63 won, 29 lost record. "Dudey" became head coach at Duquesne during the 1948-49 season. In a decade, his Dukes rolled to 191 wins against only 70 defeats and participated in post-season tournaments in seven of the ten seasons. His teams were near the top in national rankings in eight of the years, and "Dudey" took the Dukes into six National Invitation

Tournaments, winning the NIT title in 1955. "Dudey" is the only coach whose teams reached the semi-finals of the NIT four consecu- five times. He developed three Duquesne All-Americans—Chuck Cooper, Sihugo Green, and Dick Ricketts, and led the Dukes to ECAC Holiday Festival titles in 1953 and 1954. A star guard on Duquesne's legendary "Iron Dukes" quintet of 1930-34, "Dudey" was a "work-horse"—missing only one game in four years—and a key member of the Chick Davies squad that com- piled a 23-game victory skein in 1933-34. Twice (1952 and 1954) named College Coach of the Year by United Press International, "Dudey" has had only one losing season in 26 years of high school and college coaching. He coached at famed Sharon (Pa.) High before returning to his alma mater as head basketball coach. "Dudey" was named Coach of the Year by the New York Basketball Writers in 1952 and won the same accolade from Philadelphia's scribes in 1955. During the summer of 1961, he coached the victorious U.S. court entry in Israel's Maccabiah Games at Tel Aviv. Coach Moore and his wife, Bernice, have two children and live in suburban Meadowbrook, Pa. His son, Donald, a 1962 La Salle

graduate, is a 2nd Lieutenant in the U.S. Army.

Charles F. [Buddy) Donnelly Freshman Basketball Coach IFirst Season)

^^^^^t Charles P. (Buddy) Donnelly, one of the ^^ most colorful backcourt stars ever to play for the Explorers, captained La Salle's 1952 Jr&} ^^ National Invitation Tournament Champion- \ 1 . ship team. I * - An excellent playmaker, Donnelly led the ^^J^. ^. team in assists during his senior year as the ^^K^^ ^^^^ Explorers upset Dayton for the NIT title, V -M V /-lJ I reached the semifinals of the Olympic Trials fi. JH I and finished with a 25-7 record. In all, he ^Afs^H I played three years of varsity ball under ^Ul I Ken Loeffler. After graduation Donnelly entered the Army and captained the Fort Belvoir basketball team that won the All-Army Tournament. In 1954, he started his coaching career, guiding Belvoir to the Military District of Washing- ton Championship and a third place finish in the All-Army Tourney. Teammates included former Duke All American and current Pittsburgh shortstop, Dick Groat, and former La Salle and Warriors' star, Jack George. For the past eight years Donnelly has been head basketball coach at Philadelphia's Father Judge High School. He guided Judge to the Catholic League playoffs four times in seven attempts and reached the finals twice. His overall league record was 63-36. Present collegiate stars developed by Donnelly include La Salle's sophomore center, George Sutor, and Notre Dame captain, John Andreoli. Donnelly, 32, lives in Northeast Philadelphia with his wife, Alice, and three children. LA SALLE COLLEGE ATHLETIC COMMITTEE Ch airman Dr. Robert Courtney, Assoc iate Professor, Political Science

TEZSLA ... TEZZ'-la PROSPECTS FOR THE SEASON By Coach Dudey Moore

Seldom has a college basketball team had more ques- tion marks than my predominantly young 1962-63 Explorer squad. The condition of co-captain Billy Raftery, the de- velopment of our untested sophomores, and the improvement shown by our veteran starters, will all determine La Salle's success this season.

Of course, the major "if" concerns Raftery, the fine 6-4 guard who had a real good sophomore year (17.8 average) and then was sidelined last season after undergoing a back operation. At the present time, it remains to be seen whether Billy's back is strong enough to withstand the punishment of a full season. He is such a fine all-around player, that his physical condition definitely holds the key to the situation.

I look for our three veteran starters, guard and co- captain Tony Abbott, forward Frank Corace and 6-8 center Walt Sampson, to become more consistent and take up the scoring slack left by the graduation of guard Bob McAteer, who led the team in scoring with 543 points. Abbott did a good job in Raftery's back-court spot last year, developing into a real sparkplug. With added experience and confidence, Corace should be one of our chief offensive threats as well as a depend- able rebounder. He was second in both departments a year ago, averaging over 15 points a game. Sampson came along well toward the end of last season ana we are hoping that he can pick up where he left off, especially in the rebounding department. Much depends on our inexperienced sophomores, who comprise over half the squad. Either 6-7 center George Sutor or 6-4 forward Al Tezsla may move into the starting lineup. Sutor could develop into a real good collegiate performer with experience. Tezsla is exceptionally strong under the boards, but needs a little more work on his shooting. Guards Joe Cunnane and John Hart will, probably, be our chief backcourt reserves, and one of them could start if anything happens to Abbott or Raftery. Cunnane didn't score too much as a freshman, but possibly has more potential than any of our young guards.

Other reserves include forwards Harry Carpenter, Gene Park, Jim Flavin and Joe Lynch and guards Paul Gallagher and Tim Daly. Carpenter has been a pleasant surprise so far, especially with his rebounding. Park, a senior, hustles every minute and can get that ball for you frequently.

In summary, the sophomores should give us a little more height, a stronger bench and more rebounding strength. But we must improve our defense and become more consistent before any major success can be achieved. 6

ANTHONY A. (TONY) ABBOTT —Sr.—21—5'10"—165—Chester. Pa. Co-captain this season and team's "unsung hero" according to coach Moore, Tony became one of the most improved players in the city with his flashy play in the backcourt. Known as "Mr. Hustle," his main fault — if it can be labeled as such — is that he has a tendency to try too hard. Top Explorer in assists two years running, he sparked the team season. with a 43.7 field goal percentage last The sparkplug of La Salle's fast break, and loves to La Salle's third leading scorer, he high drive around those big men.

- HARRY J. CARPENTER , Pa. —Soph.—20— 5"— 1 85— Philadelphia, The most pleasant surprise in practice to date, Harry should be quite an asset up front this season, especially under the offensive boards. He needs a little more work on his shooting, but is always hustling. Played center for present Villanova coach Jack Kraft at Philadelphia's Bishop Neumann High. Didn't compete last year, but averaged 6.5 points in 12 freshman games during 1960-61 season. He's majoring in Industrial Management. 6'6"— FRANK C. CORACE—Jr.—20— 195— Drexel Hill. Pa. A former All American Prep star at suburban Philly's Monsignor Bonner High, Frank emerged as one of the nation's top sophomores last year. He's an "explosive" type ballplayer, has a devastating jump shot, rebounds well (second only to the 6-8 Samp- son) and could be one of the nation's weakness greatest if he improves on his major — defense. The team's second leading scorer finish in with a 15.4 average, Frank failed to double figures only three times in 24 games during his sophomore year and was named team. His best game was to the Middle Atlantic Conference second Muhlenberg, but he won t ««ilY a 22 point performance against performance against Manhattan forget his Madison Square Garden after being blanked when he erupted for 21 points in the second half scoring average ot 26.8 is for the first 20 minutes.

JOSEPH T. CUNNANE — Soph. — 19 — 6'0" — 165 — Phita., Pa. Could be one of the top backcourt replacements this season. Joe led the freshmen in assists last year and averaged 9 points a game. He's a good playmaker and seems to learn quickly. Possibly has more potential than any other soph guard, according to coach Moore. Co-captained La Salle High School's 1960-61 varsity. He's an Accounting major.

TIMOTHY DALY—Soph.—19— , 0"—175— Silver Spring, Md.

Speedy backcourt reserve prospect, Tir

emphasizes ball-control and playmaking. He I

must sharpen his passing, however, and curb I

his over-anxiousness. Averaged 5.6 points for f the freshman last season. Captained basketball team and was All Prep grid star at St.

John's (D. C.) High. He is majoring in Biology.

JAMES J. FLAVIN— Jr. — 20 — 66"— 215— Philadelphia, Pa. Strong as a rampaging bull -under the boards. His best games last year included a 12 point performance in a losing cause to

Lafayette and an I I point night against Millersville. He's deadly from the free throw line, having missed only once in 14 attempts last season. Jim averaged 22.3 points a game as a freshman after a brilliant career at Philadelphia's West Catholic High where he captained team and made All Catholic twice. An Accounting major.

PAUL J. GALLAGHER—Jr.—20—5'9"—160— Drexel Hill,

Provides added depth in the backcourt. Best example was last year's one point victory over St. Joseph's when he was rushed into action midway through the first half when La Salle's starting backcourt ran into foul trouble. He didn't score a point but, one local writer put it: "Sifted St. Joseph's zone press smoothly and responded with accurate scoring passes to his bigger teammates." He teamed with Corace to captain Monsignor Bonner High's city cham-

pionship quintet. Paul is a History-Education major. Year Games Field Goals Foul Goals Rebounds 1961-62 16 2 14 20

JOHN (YAZU) HART—Soph.—19— , 0"—170—Hudson, N. Y. A former All State selection at Hudson's (N.Y.) St. Mary's Academy, John looms as one of the team's brightest soph backcourt prospects. He averaged 15 points a game for the freshmen last season, climaxing the campaign with a team high of 31 (26 in one half) against Lafayette. Most important was

his shooting percentage from the fi eld — a phenomenal .50.4 John also lettered in tennis and baseball in high school; is majoring in Accounting at La Salle. 6'2"— JOSEPH F. LYNCH—Soph.— 1 9— 1 85— Philadelphia. Pa. Another product of La Salle High where he co-captained team with Joe Cunnane and made All Catholic in senior year, Joe is slated for reserve duty in frontcourt this season. He came on with a rush for the freshmen last year, scoring 25 and 26 in final games against Penn and Lafayette, and finished with a 12 point average. In high school he played both guard and forward. Third best rebounder for yearlings, with 116 in 13 games. He's an English major.

*EUGENE J. (GENE) PARK Sr.—21—6'3"—192— Fort Washington, Pa.

An all out hustler, Gene makes it an annual habit to emerge from virtual annonymity and star in a crucial Big Five game. Two years ago, he chose a late-season upset win over Villanova to come off the bench and grab 17 rebounds. Last year he emerged early, scor-

ing I I points in the last eight minutes of a victory over Penn. Moreover, he did a tremendous job of ball-handling against the Quakers' full-court press. Gene's best game of the season was a 13 point night against Duquesne. A great jumper for his siie, he co-captained La Salle High's quintet four years ago. An Accounting major.

'WILLIAM J. (BILL) RAFTERY Sr.—21—6'4"—190— Kearny. N. J. Co-captain. Possessor of the coolest head and hottest hand on any court when he's physically fit, Bill hopes to write Philadelphia's "Comeback Story of the Year" this season. His basketball career (and La Salle's tourney hopes) suffered a cruel setback last year when he painfully hobbled through four early games before undergoing a serious operation to remove a ruptured disc in his back. Touted as another Tom Gola before he ever played a varsity game, Bill's initial season was a slight "disappointment" to some people, despite the fact that he did everything well and took team scoring honors with 392 points and a 17.8 average. Only Gola did better for a sophomore at La Salle. Equally adept anywhere on the court, Bill's value cannot be measured by statistics alone. He is the ideal team player whose "steadying" influence on teammates is immeasurable.

His collegiate high is 31 points scored against Muhlenberg two years ago. Last season, his best was 10 in less than a half of action against Niagara. Everyone's Scholastic All American choice at St. Cecelia's High, Bill broke three New Jersey Schoolboy scoring marks. He also earned All State recognition in soccer and baseball. At the moment,

Bill is probably the biggest "if" in La Salle history, although he did come back with 17 points during a 20 minute stint in last spring's Varsity-1952 N.I.T. Champions' Alumni Game. The President of his

Senior class, and an above average student, Bill is majoring in Social Studies. Year Games Field Goals Foul Goals Rebounds Points 1960-61 22 143 106 194 392 1961-62 4 8 2 17 18 WALTER LEE (GOOSE) SAMPSON 6'8" Jr.—22— —205—Houston, Texas

Off to an extremely slow start early last year, Walt didn't come to life until the Penn game when he grabbed 16 rebounds and scored 10 points. After that, he gradually developed into a steady performer around the pivot, gained more confidence in his shooting and finished as the team's top rebounder. He improved enough to make the MA.C.'s second team. Walt seemed to "rise to the occasion" and do his best against the bigger men (e.g. Miami's 7-1 Mike McCoy, etc.) and stronger teams such as Cincinnati, St. Joseph's, Villanova and Western Ken- tucky. His best all-around game came against Dayton in the Holiday Festival when he scored 20 points and grabbed

14 rebounds. Walt is a transfer student from Pan American College, Edinboro, Texas, where he averaged 24 points and 21 rebounds a game and was named to the Conference All Star team. Doesn't fancy the Eastern winter weather. He's majoring in Business Administration.

GEORGE SUTOR— Soph.—20—67"—225— Philadelphia, Pa.

One of the brightest (and biggest) court I prospects in recent La Salle history. George needs only to overcome academic difficulties and inconsistency to become one of the

area's best "Big Men." Coach Moore says I that he has more "natural" athletic potential than he has ever handled. While at anyone | Philly's Father Judge High, George led the Catholic League in scoring (304 points), made all the local "All" teams and was selected on the third team Scholastic All American squad. A solid pivotman, he was leading the freshmen with 20.6 points and 16.5 rebounds a game before being sidelined by ineligibility after 10 games last year. His best performance was 31 against St. Joseph's. A Liberal Arts major.

ALEXANDER (AD TEZSLA —Soph.—19—6' A"—200—Trenton, N. J.

A bull under the backboards, Al wasted no time last year asserting his tremendous strength up front. He's a good bet for a starting role on the basis of his freshman record that includes 14.5 rebounds and 13.8 points a game. An All Delaware Valley selection at Trenton Catholic where he played center, Al was moved up front by frosh coach Charlie Greenberg last year and responded well enough to be tabbed, by many, as the

finest all around player on the Yearlings. His shooting eye could stand improvement. An Economics major.
