JOHN J. CONBOY

Athletic Director

John J. (Jack) Conboy was named La Salle Athletic Director on January

3, 1969, succeeding James J. Henry, who retired January 1 after 35 years as Explorer A.D.

Conboy, 46, graduated from La Salle in 1950. He recently retired from the U.S. Army, after 20 years service, with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. A veteran of three wars

(World War II, Korea and Vietnam), Conboy served on the ROTC staff at La Salle from 1960 to 1964.

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.

Conboy, who holds an MBA degree in Industrial Management from , resides in Drexel Hill with his wife, Anne, and four children. PAUL W. WESTHEAD Head Basketball Coach

Paul W. Westhead, now in his sec- ond year as head coach at La Salle, directed last year's Explorers to twenty victories in twenty-seven games. Westhead's 1970-71 five won ten consecutive contests during the season, upset NCAA semifinalist Western Kentucky and NCAA finalist Villanova, and participated in the National Invitational Tournament.

A great defensive player at St. Joseph's College, Westhead was of- ten matched with success against an opponent's top scorer by his coach, Dr. . He returned to his alma mater in 1968 as assistant athletic director and coach of St. Joseph's '69-70 freshman team which compiled a 21-2 record, best in the school's history.

Previously, Westhead had established himself as one of the finest young coaches in the area at Cheltenham High School. In four years (1964-68) at the suburban Philadelphia school, Paul gradually built a winning tradition. In 1968, he took his squad to the P.I.A.A. playoffs for the first time in the school's history and advanced all the way to the state finals.

Westhead received his bachelor's degree from St. Joseph's in 1961, and a master's degree in English from Villanova, in 1963.

He has done work towards his Ph.D. at Temple University, has served on the English faculty both at Cheltenham and St. Joseph's, and has taught English at La Salle.

Westhead, 32, his wife, Catherine, and three children live in suburban Drexel Hill, Pa. JOSEPH C. O'CONNOR Assistant Basketball Coach

Joseph C. O'Connor, who had coached Bishop Eustace Prep's bas- ketball teams to a fantastic 69-6 record over his last three seasons, made a successful debut as Paul Westhead's assistant in 1970-71, and guided the Explorer frosh to a fine 14-8 season. The 30-year-old coach, who puts great stress on fundamentals, had been on the staff at suburban New Jersey's Bishop Eustace for seven years, the last four as head coach. In 1968-69, Eustace went all the way to win the New Jersey State Championship. Joe's overall won-loss record as head coach was 78-17.

O'Connor, a resident of Upper Darby, is a 1963 graduate of St. Joseph's College with a bachelor's degree in history.

PAUL GALLAGHER Assistant Basketball Coach

Paul Gallagher, a former member of the Explorer varsity and later head coach at Monsignor Bonner High School, returns as a La Salle assistant under Paul Westhead

in 1971-72.

The 1964 La Salle graduate was a re- serve on the Explorer varsity for two I years. He served as assistant coach at \^ ^S M Bonner before becoming head coach at p- St. James High, in Chester in 1966-67.

'^^ ^^ Gallagher returned to Bonner as head coach the following year. His three year won-loss record of 57-19 included a fine 24-6 mark in 1969-70. The Bonner quintet finished first in the Catholic League's southern division and third in the playoffs last year, capping the season by winning the Alhambra Catholic Invitational, in Cumberland, Md.

Gallagher, 28, was co-captain of Bonner's city championship court team in 1960.

Paul will continue to maintain a securities business with the Equity Funding Corp. He, his wife, Sue, and their two children live in sub- urban Havertown, Pa.

Dr. Eugene Gallagher Charles M Loughran Team Physician Equipment Manager DAVID A. (LEFTY) ERVIN Assistant Basketball Coach

David A. (Lefty) Ervin is in his fourth season as assistant basket-

ball coach.

While a student at La Salle, Lefty

was a two-sport standout and co-

captain of the Explorer basketball

and baseball teams in his senior year.

the Joseph Schmitz Jr. Award as the senior who best exemplified the

high traditions of La Salle College in loyalty, sportsmanship and courage.

A starter on the basketball varsity as a sophomore, Ervin spent most of the next two years as the Explorers' sixth man and gained a reputa- tion as one of the outstanding substitutes in the nation. He scored a total of 756 points for his career.

Ervin played baseball and basketball at Abington High School before graduating in 1963. In addition to his duties at La Salle, Ervin also

THE ATHLETE

The young man who accepts the exciting challenge of representing

the Explorers on basketball courts throughout the nation will be one

who recognizes that he is supplementing his classroom experience

with athletic participation. He will learn to discipline himself toward

achieving a goal; to work in close association with other men, and

to acquire judgment and responsibility. As such a student athlete,

he will be, above all, a gentleman. Explorer sophs (from left) Steve Baruffi, Frank Doyle, Jim Haggarty, Joe DiCocco, Frank Moffatt, and Joe Rapczynski gather 'round coach Paul Westhead (with ball).

PROSPECTS FOR THE 1971-72 SEASON

By Coach Paul Westhead

Sophomore talent will have a major role in our plans for the coming season since seven seniors, including 6-7 All-America Ken Durrett (27.0 ppg.-11.9 rpg.) and 6-3 Bob Fields (22.4 ppg.) have been graduated from our highly successful 70-71 squad. I have every confidence that our sophomores have the ability to do well and help us win, but it may take some time for our untested varsity members to jell.

Of course, we'll look to 6-4 Jim Crawford, our most experienced returnee. Jim was one of the Big Five's outstanding sophs last year, averaging over 12 ppg. and 8 rpg. In addition, 6-7 junior John Maull, who picked up some valuable playing time in a reserve role last season, will be another key figure. Two juniors, 6-0 Tom Fuhs, leading scorer on the '69-70 frosh team, and 6-2 Bill Fox, a good shooter, round out our returning lettermen.

We're hoping that two soph guards, 6-4 swingman Frank Doyle (16.8 ppg.—frosh) and 6-3 Jim Haggarty (16.3 ppg.—frosh) will resupply some of our graduated firepower. Under the boards, two strong and steady forwards, 6-6 Joe DiCocco (12.3 ppg.-14.1 rpg.— frosh) and 6-5 Joe Rapczynski (10.1 ppg.—frosh), will see plenty of action.

Our defense rated 19th in the nation a year ago, and since we feel this was one of our success factors, we'll again put great stress on man defense.

With the 'Husker Classic and the Quaker City Tourney on our Decem- ber schedule, our young team will have to mature quickly. Throughout the season, we'll be aiming to surprise some of our nationally-ranked opponents. 6-0 junior Tom Fuhs (no. 14) demonstrates perfect jump shot form during Palestra battle with Duquesne last season.

Jim Crawford (no. 23) makes good use of well-set pick by 6-7 junior John Maull (no. 31) in 74-53 romp over Loyola of New Orleans at the Palestra. MEET THE EXPLORERS (*) Returning Lettermen

Steven J. Baruffi

Sophomore 19 6-1 170 Vineland, N.J.

Steve is a determined competitor who

saw considerable action for the frosh in a reserve role last year. Quick and aggressive, Steve, whose best effort was a 12-point performance against the Mercer County Community College, could press for playing time as a guard this season. At Vineland High, Steve was a standout cross-country and baseball team member, besides playing some steady basketball for coach Joe Rich-

ards before graduating in 1970. Biology major.

*James S. Crawford (Captain)

Junior 20 6-4 180 Haddonfield, N.J.

Jim established himself as one of the

Big Five's outstanding sophs in 70-71, giv- ing the Explorers a consistent 12 points and 8 rebounds per game. The "Skyman," who has developed all phases of his game, had super efforts against Miami (20 points, 11 rebounds), Pennsylvania (18 points, 13 rebounds), Creighton (19 points, 13 re- bounds), and Duquesne (24 points, career high). An all-around athlete at Bishop Eustace prep, Jim captained his school's

1969 New Jersey State basketball champions (coach Joe O'Connor) in his senior year. Business major.

Year Games Field Goals Foul Goals Rebounds Points 1970-71 27 108 114 233 330

Joseph S. DiCocco Sophomore 19 6-6 190 Upper Darby, Pa.

Despite missing the last five games due to an injury, Joe led the La Salle yearlings

in rebounding (239, 14.1 rpg.), while aver- aging over 12 ppg. His talent was most evident against the Villanova frosh (20 points, 18 rebounds), Mercer County Com- munity College (19 points, 18 rebounds), and the West Chester frosh (14 points, 20 rebounds). A rugged board man, Joe played basketball under coach Paul Gallagher at Monsignor Bonner, and made second team All-Catholic in his sen lor year (1970). Business major. Frank J. Doyle

Sophomore 19 6-4 190 Glenolden, Pa.

Possessor of that unique combination of size and skill, Frank led the 70-71 frosh in scoring (16.8 ppg.), hitting over 50% from the floor and 80% from the charity stripe. His top games were 29 points against the Rider frosh, 25 points against the Drexel frosh, and 20 points against Maryland's highly-rated frosh. He was also named

MVP of the St. Edmund's Tourney (Wil- mington, Del.), which was won by the La

Salle frosh. Frank played for coach Jim

Purcell at Cardinal O'Hara, captaining the 1970 quintet in his senior year, and being selected a second team All Catholic. Accounting major.

Edward G. Forrest Junior 20 6-3 190 Willow Grove, Pa.

An outstanding southpaw pitcher for coach Gene McDonnell's Explorer nine over the

past two seasons, Ed will taste his varsity

basketball action this year. The 6-3 bullish

guard, who averaged 16.1 ppg. for the

'69-70 frosh, is a potential swingman. At

Upper Moreland High, Ed complemented a

fine baseball career by captaining coach

Cecil Mosenson's five, and making All-Sub-

urban in his senior year (1969). Business major.

*William D. Fox

Junior 20 6 2 162 Philadelphia, Pa.

An excellent long-range shooter, Bill saw only limited duty for the varsity last year,

but he's a definite offensive threat. Bill exhibited some fine floor play for the '69-70

frosh, and his attitude and hard work have

solidified his game. A relentless scrapper,

Bill played at La Salle High (coach Obie

O'Brien) before graduating in 1969. Busi- ness major.

10 *Thomas J. Fuhs

Junior 20 6-0 170 Drexel Hill, Pa.

A hustling guard, Tom took a back seat

to three senior backcourtmen a year ago, but the 1969-70 frosh scoring leader (16.2

ppg.) will be heard from this season. Al- though he took only ten shots from the

field all last season, Tom canned nine of them. The 1969 Monsignor Bonner graduate captained both the basketball (coach Paul

Gallagher) and the baseball teams in his senior year, and was honored by the Mark- ward Club as the Catholic League's "unsung basketball hero." Accounting major.

James B. Haggarty

Sophomore 19 6-3 160 Drexel Hill, Pa.

Jim is an exceptional guard who averaged over 16 ppg. for the frosh, and contributed 58 assists (second highest). A devastating shooter, Jim scored 33 points against the Textile frosh, and 24 points on two occa- sions against the Penn frosh. A 1970 grad- uate of Monsignor Bonner, Jim was a first team All-Catholic selection (coach Paul Gal- lagher) in addition to being named MVP of the 1970 Alhambra Catholic Invitational in Maryland. English major.

Kenneth E. Kennedy

Junior 20 6-1 165 Glassboro, N.J.

Although he did not log any playing time

last year, Ken was a late season addition

to the La Salle varsity. His basketball in-

stinct and desire make him a definite asset

to the Explorers' guard corps. A smooth

floor general, Ken led his Glassboro High

team (coach (John Aveni) to the Olympic

Conference title, before graduating in 1969. Liberal Arts major.

11 *John W. Maull

Junior 20 6-7 185 Runnemede, N.J.

Despite a lack of high school playing experience, John was in the thick of action for the La Salle five a year ago as a reserve . John is an excellent shooter for a big man, and his career high of 12 points against Lafayette launched his teammates into the MAC finals last season. A 1969 graduate of St. Joseph's High in Camden, he also tabbed 9 points against Rider, and 8 points against Canisius. Business Admin- istration major.

Frank X. Moffatt

Sophomore 19 5-10 145 Cherry Hill, NJ.

Frank was a pleasant surprise to last

year's frosh, averaging over 9 ppg., and

leading the team in assists (68). A clever ballhandler, Frank thrives on pressure shooting an amazing 92.9% from the free

throw line (78 for 84) last year. He also distinguished himself with 20 points against the American frosh, 17 points against the Textile frosh, and 16 points against the

Penn frosh. A track star at Bishop Eustace prep, Frank played his basketball for coach

Joe O'Connor before graduat ng in 1970. Business major.

Joseph M. Rapczynski

Sophomore 19 6-5 205 Philadelphia, Pa.

Nicknamed "Rabbi," Joe is a powerful forward who averaged 10 ppg. and 7 rpg. for the 70-71 frosh. He is quite mobile, and complements his offensive thrust with tough defense. Joe's highlights were 18 points against the Temple frosh, and 16 points and 14 rebounds against the Penn frosh. An All-Catholic selection in his senior year, Joe captained the 1970 North Catholic five under coach Frank Dougherty. Liberal Arts major.

Key re- turnees include 6-5 forward Jerry Dunn (15.4 ppg. -8. 7 rpg.), and 6-4 Jerome Perry (14.9 ppg.- 8.2 rpg., '69-70), if he can come back from a September knee operation. 6-6 transfer from Tulsa Granville Bunton and 6-9, 235-lb. soph Ray Bowerman (14.6 ppg. -13. 2 rpg. —frosh) will restore lost board strength. A rebuilding year, but color Western dangerous. Coach Jim Richards (First Year)

SERIES RECORD:

LA SALLE 7, LOYOLA 1

OUTLOOK: Wolfpack has five lettermen, but last year's two top scorers, 7-0 Ty Marioneaux and 6-3 Bob Bissant, have been graduated. Forward looks to be the strongest position with juniors 6-4 John Kardzionak (11.3 ppg.) and 6-7 Ernie Losch (10.5 ppg.) returning. 6-8 senior Charles Jones (7.0 ppg.) will be at center, with 6-2 se- nior Tim Schneider and 5-9 junior Skip Brechtel (2.5 ppg.) in the backcourt. Strictly a rebuilding year. Coach Bob Luksta (W-33, L-43)

OUTLOOK: The Eagles return seven lettermen and four starters headed by 6-8 junior All- America candidate (18.6 ppg.- 20.5 rpg.), second leading rebounder in the na- tion as a soph. Although both starting guards return, Steve Garrett, a 6-1 transfer from UNC, and 6-0 soph Johnny Lloyd (24.4 ppg— frosh) are likely to run the backcourt. At forward, 6-5 Lloyd Mayes (10.9 ppg), a senior, and 6-5 ju- nior Tom Rowe (5.7 ppg.) could be pushed by 6-5 soph Pete DeHaven (20.9 ppg— frosh). A Coach Tom Young vastly improved team with a promising picture. (W-24, L-24)

Wednesday, January 26, 1972, 8:45 P.M. (EST), at the Palestra, Philadelphia, Pa.

SERIES RECORD: LA SALLE 11, PENN 13

OUTLOOK: Nine lettermen and an outstanding senior nucleus of 6-8 sharpshooter Bob Morse (15.4 ppg.-8.4 rpg.) and versatile 6-7 (10.1 ppg.-8.6 rpg.) will make the Quakers formidable. The biggest problem will be filling the vacuum created by the graduation of All-Ivy guards Steve Bilsky and Dave Wohl. Likely candidates are seniors 6-5 Al Cotler (3.9 ppg.) and 6-0 Bill Walters (1.4 ppg.), 6-0 junior Steve Batory (1.4 ppg.), and 5-11 soph Whity Varga (12.5 ppg.— frosh). In the frontcourt, 6-5 senior Ron Billingslea (3.6 ppg.), juniors 6-8 ooach (9.2 ppg.) and 6-6 Craig Little- (First Year) page (2.6 ppg.), and 6-8 soph John Jablonski (15.1 ppg. -10. 8 rpg.—frosh) provide a wealth of depth. Look for Penn to continue its winning ways.

SERIES RECORD: LA SALLE 11, CANISIUS 4

OUTLOOK: 6-6 senior Gary Stewart (17.5 ppg.- 10.0 rpg.), returning after a year of illness, 6-5 junior Mike Macaluso (14.5 ppg.), 6-7 senior Clyde Alexander (9.6 ppg. -9. 3 rpg.), and 6-7 junior Gary Lawrence (5.6 ppg.) will give the Griffins a solid frontcourt. Two sophs, 6-3 Chris Eleam (21.2 ppg— frosh) and 6-7 Dave Wessel (18.7 ppg. — frosh) add even more depth. The big question, however, is the backcourt where 6-2 Aaron Covington (9.6 ppg.) and 6-3 Mike Norwood (5.7 ppg.) are the key holdovers. With the abundance of good big men, success is in Coach Bob MacKinnon the hands of the guards. (W-128, L-148)

In addition, 6-7 Lee Tress (9.6 ppg.) and juniors 6-4 Mike Jones (7.0 ppg.) and 6-3 Tim Ferhle (6.8 ppg.) are capable vets. Soph talent is in abundance in guards 6-1 John Kneib (18.6 ppg. —frosh) and 5-11 Rick Trudeau (18.3 ppg. — frosh), and big men, 6-8 Dan Kash- mer, 6-6 Mike Arace, 6-7 George Bower and 6-3 Joe Rymal.

The starting backcourt is intact in 5-10 juniors Jerry Glick (14.1 ppg.) and Mike Fee (6.2 ppg.), but 6-2 soph Dave Williams (10.8 ppg. — frosh) or 6-3 transfer Greg Newman could push for starting spots. Improved fire- power will come from 6-4 holdover Vince Mor- rison (12.1 ppg.) and 6-2 Jamie Hart (13.4 Coach Ray Haesler ppg. — frosh). Guarded optimism on the Drexel (First Year) campus.

6-7 All-America Ken Durrett (no. 33) lefthands two of his 45 points which sparked La Salle's 91-76 rout of Western Kentucky and set new Palestra and Explorers' standards. Durrett, MAC and Big Five MVP, finished his career with 1679 points, second highest total in La Salle history. Ken's career per-game average of 23.6 is the school's best ever. \ 2_ '•^x

MAC and Big Five All-Star Bobby Fields (with ball) springs for two of his 27 counters in the Explorers' 64 61 conquest of Creighton at the Palestra. Fields registered an amazing 1,016 points in only a two-season career at La Salle, and his '70-71 output of 605 points is the fifth highest one-year total at the rvX^ THE EXPLORERS' 1970-71 SEASON IN REVIEW

Dedication, desire, hustle and pride were the characteristics of the 1970-71 La Salle College varsity basketball team whose achievement of twenty magic victories can be attributed to the great first year coaching of Paul Westhead, and thirteen athletes who adopted "playing to exhaustion" as a way of life.

A unanimous preseason pick for last in the Big Five, the Explorers shocked the "experts" by streaking through fifteen of their first sixteen contests. When Westhead's five captured the Charlotte Invitational Tourney in late December some eyebrows were raised, but a victory at Tulsa, a massacre of powerful Western Kentucky, and a rare victory at Niagara Falls, convinced observers that this La Salle club was for real.

Then in the first half of a rout of Canisius, 6-7 All-America Ken Durrett sprained his right knee, and the prophets who originally forecast a disastrous season for the Explorers had their second chance. But this La Salle team was not about to fold; they showed their greatness, their heart, which is unsurpassed in the history of athletics at the 109-year-old Christian Brothers' institution.

"Win for the Big Guy" became the inspirational force behind superhuman team efforts that shocked bitter rival Villanova (73-69) and rugged Creighton (64-61). The Explorers had battled their way into the National Invitation Tourney, and established themselves as one of the all-time great teams at La Salle.

Above all this past season stood 6-7 senior captain Ken Durrett, everyone's All-America and the Middle Atlantic Conference Most Valuable Player. Ken established himself as the greatest per-game scorer in the history of La Salle College with 1679 points in 71 games for a 23.6 ppg. career average. He had 40 point outbursts against Miami, Niagara and Lafayette and wrote a new La Salle and Palestra scoring mark with 45 points against Western Kentucky in one of the greatest performances ever witnessed in Philadelphia. Coach Westhead found Ken's leadership quality and splendid personality off the court equally impressive.

Bobby Fields, great all-around guard, gave the Explorers a consistent twenty points per game and solid defense. In the absence of the injured Durrett, Bob destroyed Villanova with a 30-point, 12-rebound performance, and added 39 points (career high) against Rider, and 33 points against St. Joseph's. In two seasons, he scored 1016 points, and entered the 1000-point club in the NIT.

Durrett and Fields, however, each of whom entered the pro ranks, were far from the entire La Salle show. 6-0 senior Greg Cannon ran the Explorers' patterned offense with precision and cleverness, while leading his team in "unsung" categories of steals and assists. Ronny Kennedy, 6-5 senior defensive ace, confronted opponents' big men such as LIU's Walter Jones, Western Kentucky's 7-0 Jim McDaniels, Tulsa's 6-10 Dana Lewis, and Villanova's 6-8 Howard Porter with unbelievable success. Jimmy Crawford, La SaMe's 6-4 "sky man," averaged over 12 ppg. and added a solid 8 rpg. as one of the Big Five's super sophs.

Unheralded 6-3 senior Bobby Walsh gained the nickname "Hondo" with crucial points in key situations as the Explorers' sixth man early in the year, but when Durrett was injured he stepped into a starting guard role like a veteran. Bob scored 147 points, mostly as a reserve, after totaling 20 points in two previous seasons.

Solid backup performance through the year came from 6-7 soph John Maull, a fine shooter, 5-11 hustler Tom Fuhs, and 6-2 senior Bill Michuda, who missed the first half of the season due to a knee operation.

Spirited 6-5 senior Jorge Garayta, 6-5 junior Jeff Piccone, and a pair of 6-2 sophs, Bill Fox and Ken Kennedy, also contributed their strength and talent in substitute roles.

For the seven Explorers' seniors there was a feeling of accomplishment, a sense of fulfillment, in their 1970-71 happening, and for La Salle College, there was the realization of the Westhead era, spirited, competitive and exciting basketball, win or lose.

36 Ken Durrett (no. 33) was ready for this rebound, but Ron Kennedy (center) bagged this short jump shot in La Salle's 63-58 victory over Temple. Kennedy, the Explorers' 6-5 defensive stopper, completed a fine two-season career.

Playmaker Greg Cannon (no. 22) is about to feed Bobby Walsh (no. 11) for an uncontested lay-up as the Durrettless La Salle five upset Creighton. The 6-0 Cannon and the 6-3 Walsh came out of nowhere to have great senior seasons for the Olneyites.

THE LA SALLE STORY

Salle College is now in its 109th year of service to higher educa- and the Philadelphia community. Ihe college has been coeduca- tional in the evening division since February, 1967, and in its day school since September, 19/0. La Salle 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 Philadelphia locations, the campus was moved to its present site at 20th Street and Olney Avenue in the East Germantown Section of the city. Since 1945, La Salle has experienced dramatic growth. Before the closing days of the war, La Salle had an enrollment of less than 500 attending only day classes in two original buildings. Today, a total of 6,600 Day and Evening Division students attend La Salle. Plant facilities, valued at only $1.5 million in 1946, have today reached nearly $20 million. There are 24 buildings on the 40-acre campus and further expansion is well under way in the form of a new classroom building and an athletic facilities structure. Ten modern residence halls accommodate 800 out-of-town students. A $2 million, three-story College Union Building, completed in 1959, includes a Little Theater as well as dining halls, assembly rooms, ball- room and other student facilities. The $2.5 million Holroyd Science Center, opened in 1960, houses lecture rooms and laboratory facilities for study and research in Biology, Chemistry, Geology, Physics and Psychology. The David Leo Lawrence Memorial Library, built in 1952, contains 168,000 volumes and periodical files of some 700 journals, and a new library is being planned. Additional educational areas are located on a 52-acre campus in Elkins Park and on an 80-acre site in Springfield Township. The Army

ROTC program, initiated in 1950, is available to freshmen, who may apply for ROTC scholarships for advance studies. Nearly 350 students, including those in advanced courses, are enrolled in the program. La Salle's Day and Evening Division offer degree programs in Arts and Sciences and Business Administration. The 350-member La Salle faculty

is composed of Christian Brothers, priest and lay professors.
