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 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 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 36 years at La Salle—32 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, Maxwell Memorial Football Club and the Middle Atlantic States Collegiate Athletic Conference. 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.

JOSEPH W. HEYER Head Basketball Coach (Second Season)

Joe Heyer, one of the finest all- around guards in La Salle's history, celebrated his first season as head coach of the Explorers with a sur- prisingly good 10-15 won-lost record in 1965-66. Heyer, who replaced Bob Walters on Nov. 30—the eve of La Salle's opener, guided a small, inexperi- enced club to victories over such N.I.T. teams as Louisville, Temple, and Villanova, as well as the eventual tourney champion, Brigham Young. Joe previously had been Explorers freshman coach for two seasons. His 1963-64 squad shared the Big Five frosh championship. After graduating from La Salle in 1960, Heyer enjoyed a highly successful coaching tenure at Philadelphia's Cardinal Dougherty High. He guided the Cardinals to the final game of the Catholic League playoffs all three years of his coaching reign and finished with an overall won-lost record of 54-20. Heyer also coached baseball and taught history and gym at Cardinal Dougherty High. He is still on the faculty of that school and recently completed work towards a Master's degree in Education at St. Joseph's. A 28-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's history to go over the 400 mark in single-season scoring, finishing 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.

ANTHONY A. ABBOTT Freshman Basketball Coach (First Season) Tony Abbott, co-captain of La Salle College's 1962-63 N.I.T. basketball

team, is starting his first season as the Explorers' freshman basketball coach. Abbott, 25, was head basketball coach at St. James (Chester, Pa.) High School the past two years. He also taught in that school's Busi- ness Department, a position he will continue to hold while coaching at La Salle. Abbott's 1965-66 St. James squad was the only team to beat Chester High (68-67) before Chester lost in the state Championship game. The 5'10" Abbott started in La Salle's backcourt for three years before graduating in 1963. He averaged 13.1 ppg. and led the regulars in and percentage, in his senior year, as the Explorers finished with a 16-8 record including a 62-61 loss to St. Louis in the opening round of the N.I.T. Abbott, who played for coach Donald (Dudey) Moore, helped spark the Explorers to a ten game winning streak that year. During the streak, Tony went on a 94 point scoring spree in four games, including a career high of 28 against Muhlenberg. Tony graduated from St. James in 1959. He resides in Parkside, Pa., with his wife, Carole, and young son, Anthony A., Jr.

By Coach Joe Heyer

Although we won't be sure until we've played some games, it looks like our two main problems of a year ago—a lack of height and experience—seem to have been alleviated. We have six lettermen back and a crop of highly promising sophomores coming up. Our entire starting team returns, headed by two of the finest co-captains you could ask for, Hubie Marshall and George Paull.

Such veterans as All American candidate Marshall, Paull and forward Dave Ervin should have fine years since there won't be as much pressure on them. There are some guards who are bigger and stronger than Marshall, but I don't think there are any who are better. I can't think of any player in the nation I'd rather have. Not just because Hubie broke a host of scoring records, but because he is the complete, unselfish, all-around player.

Paull is probably one of the most under-rated players around, but you won't find anyone who battles harder. Since he will have some help under the boards this year, I look for George to have the finest year of his career. Ervin, of course, was the surprise of the East. We didn't know too much about him when he came out for practice last year, but found out quickly. He was the team's second best scorer and rebounder and had good shooting nights in all but two games.

We were out-rebounded in all but two games last year, once by 44 rebounds. This shouldn't happen again with such sophomores as 6-8 Fran Scott, 6-6 Stan Wlodarczyk, and 6-6 Joe Markmann available. Perhaps the best sophomore prospects may be 6-3 guard Bernie Williams and 6-5 guard-forward Larry Cannon, a pair of former scholastic All Americans. Williams has the potential to be one of the nation's finest guards before he graduates. Cannon, the greatest Philadelphia scholastic scorer since , is a smooth performer who should be able to fit anywhere on the court.

Chuck Storm and Bill Ring, who started iast year in the back and frontcourt, respectively, will be definite assets with their added experience. Storm is one of the best defensive players in the area. Eddie Burke, who did a good job as a backcourt reserve last year, will help as will sophomore guards Mike Osborne and Curt Marshall.

Although our 10-15 record of a year ago wasn't the most impressive

in the world, I will never get more satisfaction from any team. They battled every minute and that's the only reason they were able to pick up four of the year's biggest upsets over NIT champion Brigham Young, Louisville, Villanova and Temple. Twice they faced teams leading the nation in scoring (Brigham Young and Syracuse). They had a murderous road trip to the West Coast. But only once were they out- classed early (At Western Kentucky).

I look for the same spirit to prevail this year with veterans leading

the way. We will need it since our schedule is equally as challenging.

It includes two tournaments in December (Vanderbilt and Quaker City), the traditional Big Five rivals and such powers as Western Kentucky, Louisville, Syracuse, Oklahoma City and Creighton, among others. More-

over, five of our first eight games are on the road. If we come out of

the month of December in good shape, it should be an interesting year. —

MEET THE EXPLORERS

(*) Returning Lettermen

Hubert (Hubie) Marshall Senior 22 6'0 170 Coatesville, Pa.

Co-captain, All American candidate and most prolific single-season scorer in La Salle's history. "A team in himself," accord- ing to veteran Louisville coach Bernard "Peck" Hickman after Hubie had matched his career high of 42 points—the most ever scored against a Cardinal team. Besides tying the school single game record of 42 twice, Marshall set a new Explorer scoring average record (26.9 ppg.), a new mark for points in one half (33 against Albright) and broke Tom Gola's one season field goal record with 277. He scored 674 points; only Gola has scored more in one year. Equipped with one of the most devastating jump shots in , Hubie finished

13th in the nation in scoring and 17th in free throw pet. (120 for 142 84%). His career total of 1,027 points makes him the only Explorer other than Gola to pass the 1,000 circle in two years. Hubie improved tremendously in every phase of the game last year. It was his defensive play (blocking shots, stealing passes, etc.) that played major role in upsets over Temple and Villanova. He was at his best down the stretch, averaging better than 30 ppg. and shooting 54% from the field in the last six games. He went over the 40 point mark three times; over 30 six times and over 20 in 11 games. Virtually every defense was tried to curb his shooting. Georgetown had three men on him, including a 6'8 , but Marshall scored 31 against the Hoyas. Only Seattle's Plummer Lott had any luck on defense: he held Hubie to 11, including one field goal in the second half. Completely unselfish as a player, Hubie twice passed up scoring opportunities against American U. when he had 40 points and a shot at the school record. 1965-66 honors

included first team All ECAC Quaker City Tourney; ECAC All East, All Middle Atlantic Conference and Big Five (Philadelphia) as well as

numerous All Opponent squads. An All State star for two years at Coatesville High (coach Ross Kershey), Marshall scored 1,231 points as a schoolboy including 50 against Pottstown. Hubie was La Salle's second leading scorer as a sophomore with a 15.3 ppg. average. He was responsible for La Salle's most dramatic win that year when he hit on a desperation 40 foot jumper at the buzzer to send the Niagara game into overtime. Married. Business major.

Co-captain. One of the most under-rated players in the nation, George needs only to match his 1965-66 scoring output (362 points) to become La Salle's tenth 1,000 point career scorer. It may not be noticed though, because George often finds his feats overshadowed by a more spectacular teammate. His team-leading 8.8 rebounding average doesn't sound impressive until you realize that he was out-sized by almost every opponent and virtually carried La Salle's rebounding load last year. George hit his career high of 30 last year against Niagara on the strength of 22 points in the second half including one stretch of seven in a row. His top rebounding effort, 14 against Seattle, was a team high for the year. George's main problem, which should be alleviated since he won't have to wage a one man battle against opposing forwards, was a tendency to run into personal foul trouble. He fouled out nine times. Other good games included 22 points against Duquesne; 23 points (11 for 16) against Gettysburg and 18 points against Canisius after going scoreless for the first 14 minutes. A "battler," in the strictest sense of the word, George suffered a gash under his right eye that required three stitches against Syracuse. Seven minutes later he was back in the game. All MAC, 2nd team selection. As a soph, George averaged 12 ppg. and led the team in field goal pet. (50.2%). He played the major part of that campaign with a toe injury that was corrected by a post-season operation. He was an All Catholic performer in both basketball and baseball, under his present coach Joe Heyer, at Cardinal Dougherty High. He was a first baseman on La Salle's baseball team last year until suffering a thumb injury. Liberal Arts major.

Michael E. Osborne

Sophomore 19 6'2 180 Philadelphia, Pa.

Mike made the transition from high school forward to college guard quite smoothly last year and should see consid- erable action as a backcourt reserve. How- ever, he missed the opening of practice ^^J^- Jjj due to knee surgery. A "steady" ballplayer with good moves, he averaged 5.4 for ^^^H £t MM ppg. ^ St the freshmen. He started the Seton Hall I AJBjH S ame and scored his seasonal high of 18 Hi VHBPS points. At La Salle High (coach Obie O'Brien), where he was vice president of the Student Council, Mike made first team All Catholic. His father,

Jim, is the well-known former collegiate basketball official. Pre-Law major.

8 * David A. (Lefty) Ervin Junior 21 6'3 195 Roslyn, Pa.

Dave was the surprise of the East last year. A relatively unknown transfer student from Salem (W. Va.) College, he battled his way into the starting lineup by the third <-^> game of the year and finished as the team's second leading scorer (14.6 ppg.) and rebounder (6.5). Only three other players

have scored more in their first year at La Salle. Moreover, he led the team in both field goal (51%) and free throw (89%) accuracy and handed off an unusually high kfe number of assists (87) for a forward. Dave has a good jumper but often resorts to some of the most unorthodox moves in the game for his

scores. His career high is 31 against Syracuse (15 for 21 from the field), but his most memorable performance came against Brigham Young when he led team with 20 points and eight rebounds. Right-

handed all the way despite his nickname, Lefty had only two poor shooting nights all year. He had streaks of 7 for 11 against Bucknell, 9 straight against Syracuse, 8 for 11 against Utah State and 9 for 12 against Louisville. He also helped spark the big upsets over Temple and Villanova with 23 and 22 points, respectively, and made honorable mention All Middle Atlantic Conference. Dave pitched on La Salle's baseball varsity last year and tied the school record for most appear- ances in one year, 12. He had a 3-2 record 2.13 era. He was co-captain

of Abington High's team (coach Sam Russell) and made All Suburban I as a senior, in 1962-63. Business major.

*Charles L (Chuck) Storm

Senior 21 6'2 185 Philadelphia, Pa.

Despite being hampered all season by J. m ^Pn W^ a mysterious shoulder injury, Chuck started almost every game in the backcourt last year. He averaged 8.4 ppg. but scored well into double figures down the stretch. His

career high is 14 against Georgetown, but

he had 13 and 12, respectively, against Syracuse and American U. He came off the bench for his best clutch effort of the year against Temple, 10 points and four re-

bounds in the second half. The toughest

defensive player on the team, Chuck has fouled out only once in 42

college games (at Syracuse as a soph). Defensively, he held high scoring

Canisius star John Morrison to four points in the first half. As a soph, he averaged 2.6 ppg. in 17 games, some of them as a forward. Chuck lettered for three years at Roman Catholic High (coach Fran McMena- min) where he made the Scholastic All Catholic All American squad his senior year. He was also an excellent baseball prospect until the shoulder injury curtailed activity in that sport last year. Marketing major.

Senior 21 5'11 170 Philadelphia, Pa.

Long noted for his fine shooting poten-

tial from the outside, Eddie's torrid shoot- ing played a major role in La Salle's six game winning streak last year. He came

off the bench to connect on 11 of 12 field

goal attempts in successive games against Lafayette and Villanova and registered his career high of 16 against the Wildcats by hitting his last six shots. Eddie was equally as effective from the foul line as

he made his first 15 attempts and finished with 26 of 32. Defensively, he held St. Joseph's Bill Oakes scoreless and helped contain Villanova's great . Against Canisius, he came off the bench with the Explorers down by 10, hit five straight shots for a total of 11 in 13 minutes and helped La Salle take a 43-38 halftime lead. A good ball-handler, Eddie has a "tremendous basketball mind," according to his coaches and will be a valuable asset again this year. He missed the first month of practice, though, because of torn knee ligaments. As a sophomore, he averaged 2.5 ppg in 13 appearances, but he suffered a serious illness during the summer and missed the first two weeks of practice last year. He captained St. Joseph's High 1962-63 Catholic league champions under coach John

(Jocko) Collins, presently a member of La Salle's basketball staff. French major.

Lawrence T. (Larry) Cannon Sophomore 19 6'5 195 Philadelphia, Pa.

One of the most highly-regarded schol- astic stars in Philadelphia's history, Larry has the potential to be a great college player. He has very good moves, passes and shoots well under pressure and can play anywhere although most of his action will probably be up front. He led the freshmen in scoring with 251 points (20.9

ppg.) and had the best individual game on the team, 39 at Seton Hall. Larry made Scholastic All American while leading Lincoln High to the Public League championship (coach Harry Silcox). He scored 493 points as a senior, the second highest total in the city's history, surpassed only by Wilt Chamberlain's 566 at Overbrook High,

in 1955. Twice he scored 49 points in one game. He was MVP of the

scholastic all star game at the New York World's Fair, in 1965. General Business major.

10 Francis M. (Fran) Scott Sophomore 20 6'8 218 Roebling, N.J.

The tallest player on the varsity, Fran adds some much needed height to the Explorer attack. He came to La Salle after a brilliant career at Holy Cross (Riverside) High (coach Don Solinsky) where he scored a career record total of 1,037 points and made the Burlington County All Stars three straight years. As a senior, he averaged 19.5 ppg. and 21 rebounds a game, made first team All State and honorable mention

Scholastic All American. Playing as a re- serve on the frosh, last year, Fran averaged close to seven points and rebounds a game with a seasonal high of 19 points against Albright. Twin brother Jim, a 6'4 forward, was a teammate. General Business major.

Bernard (Bernie) Williams

Sophomore 20 6'3 175 Washington, D.C.

If Bernie's potential is any indication,

La Salle could have its hottest-shooting

backcourt in history. He seems to have

all the tools to become a great college ballplayer. Last year, he led the frosh with a 21.8 ppg. scoring average. His best indi- vidual game was a 37 point effort against Lafayette. Bernie hits the long jumper with amazing consistency, has good moves and reflexes and rebounds well for his

size. He made Scholastic All American and led DeMatha (Hyattesville, Md.) High to an 82-7 record in three years. Most of the time he played up front. DeMatha (coach Morgan Wooten) was the only team to beat Lew Alcindor's Power Memorial (N.Y.) squad two years ago, before 13,000 at the U. of Maryland. Alcindor was held to 16 that day; Williams had 13 points and 14 rebounds in the low- scoring (46-43) game. Bernie was MVP of the post-season Dapper Dan

All Star Game, in Pittsburgh, that year. Business Administration major.

Stanley J. (Stan) Wlodarczyk

Sophomore 6'6 190 Mahanoy City, Pa.

Stan is expected to help solve La Salle's rebounding problem. He averaged close to 13 rebounds a game for the frosh. Although he averaged only 8.4 ppg., he improved his shooting and moves around the basket considerably toward the end of the year.

His best games were 14 points against St.

Joseph's and Penn. He is very strong, has good reach and will be a tremendous defensive asset. Stan played at Mahanoy Area (coach Dave Linkchorst) and was the

first Schuylkill County League player to make All State in both wire

service polls. He also made honorable mention Scholastic All American after averaging 23 points and 26 rebounds that year. Team finished

with 24-2 record including loss to Steelton in Eastern State Finals. His career high was 35 against Pottsville (twice). History major.

11 Joseph M. Markmann

Soph. 19 6'6 208 Huntingdon Valley, Pa.

Although he was overshadowed by some of his more publicized teammates last year, Joe appears slated for plenty of action as a frontcourt reserve. He averaged 5.7 re- bounds and 5.0 ppg. as a sub last year before being sidelined with a broken left wrist. His best game was a 16 point, 11 effort against Temple's yearlings. At La Salle High (coach Obie O'Brien) Joe

made second team All Catholic in basket-

ball and first team in baseball as a first-

baseman. His father, Joseph G., a C.P.A., is associate professor of Accounting at La Salle. Mathematics major.

William E. (Bill) Ring

Junior 20 6'6 190 Washington, D.C.

Bill was La Salle's regular pivotman last year. Although he didn't match his fresh- man performance (21 points and 14 re- bounds a game), he contributed to several key triumphs. Against Brigham Young, he clinched the big upset with seven points

in the final 2:51 including five in 26 sec-

onds. Bill seemed to do his best against hometown teams: 14 points against George- town and 15 against American U., the latter his career high. He suffered a dM severely bruised right hip against St. Joseph's but came off the bench four days later to hit on six of seven shots for 13 points against Penn. His best frosh efforts were 28 points against Albright and 19 rebounds

against Temple. He played scholastic basketball at St. John's High (coach Joe Gallagher), making All Catholic and honorable mention All Metro. General Business major.

Curtis A. Marshall

Sophomore 19 5'6 142 Coatesville, Pa.

With Curt joining his more celebrated

brother Hubie, La Salle has its first brother-

backcourt combination in history. A solid playmaker and good defensive ball-hawk, Curt didn't have much of an opportunity to score for the frosh.

Depth is uncertain but 6'8 jr. college transfer Mike Kvasnok should help. Tough team again. *k Coach Bruce Hale (W-205, L-101)

OUTLOOK: Team loses All American and all league playmaker Keith Thomas but has speedy returnees who should be tough on de- fense. 6'7 senior Ken Gibbs will replace Lee with 6'8 soph Bob Bundy backing up. 6'4 vet Bo Wyenandt (12.7) will direct offense. Jerry Southward returns at guard. 6'3 soph Tom Hagan is promising newcomer. Probably won't repeat 2d place finish in SEC.

OUTLOOK: Excellent if JC transfers come through. Four starters return, including top scorers, guards Ed Clark and Paul Gloden.

OUTLOOK: Bright. Team figures to be long on experience (4 starters), scoring power and height; short on speed. 6'8 Walt Piatkowski should pace offense again. 6'9 center Al Dixon and 6'10 transfer Phil Benedict will make Falcons one of tallest teams in nation. Vet Rich Hendrix and soph Dick Rudgers form classy backcourt combo. 6'4 reserve Carl Assenheimer will help.

Friday, February 10, 8:45 P.M. (EST), at the Palestra

SERIES RECORD: FIRST MEETING

OUTLOOK: Not quite as bright as last year since mighty trio of Wells, Ware and Hunter (63.3 ppg. and 1,109 rebounds) are gone. Two starters return: Gary Gray, a great outside shooter, and Henry Koper. Good, but untested, size provided by such transfers as 6'8 Houston Thomas, 6'7 Ardell England and 6'9 . Soph Rick Travis should score frequently. Depth much improved.

Wednesday, February 15, 1966, 7:00 P.M. (EST), at the Palestra

SERIES RECORD: DUQUESNE 10, LA SALLE 7

OUTLOOK: Success depends on such sophs as 6'9 Gary Major, 6'6 Larry Abraham, 6'6 Bill Reid and 6'4 Tom Barr, last year's top frosh scorer. Team loses leading scorers Jim Smith and Frank Miniotas (56 vs. LSC), but 3 starters return: 6'8 Phil Washington, 6'6 Ron Guziak and 6'4 Rich Carlberg. Dukes will be bigger, but slower. No seniors on squad.

SERIES RECORD: VILLANOVA 9, LA SALLE 8

OUTLOOK: Young club with great potential. Despite losing high-scoring Bill Melchionni, team should have more height, depth and offensive balance. Forward Joe Crews (10.7) may be only Vet starter since center Frank Gaidjunas faces stiff competition from sophs. Best newcomers: forwards Johnny Jones and George May, 6'7 Jim Mcintosh, 5'10 Frank Gillen.

OUTLOOK: Much improved. High scoring guard John Morrison (24.9), 6'5 Warren Plant, the team's top rebounder, and 6'1 Andy Anderson (15.9) return. Two outstanding sophs should complete lineup: Tony Masiello (22.5 as fresh- man( and 6'6 center Tom Pasternak. Other sophs lend adequate depth.

29 1965-66 IN REVIEW

La Salle College's All American candidate Hubie Marshall not only led the Explorers in scoring during the 1965-66 season, but broke or tied a host of all-time school records while establishing himself as the most prolific scorer in the Explorers' colorful court history. Marshall's overall brilliance combined with a fantastic, season-long display of team hustle by the undersized and out-manned Explorers enabled first-year coach Joe Heyer to register an impressive 10-15 won loss record. Four of the triumphs came over N.I.T. participants, Louisville, Brigham Young, Temple and Villanova. Four of the defeats were by a total of six points and two others came in overtime. Marshall set a new La Salle one season scoring average of 26.9 ppg. while scoring 674 points—the third highest single season total in Explorer history. He went over the 1,000 point career mark in La Salle's final game in Miami (Florida) and became only the second Explorer in history to pass the magic circle in his first two years of varsity play. Gola was the other. Hubie tied Bob McAteer's one game Explorer scoring record twice with games of 42 in his first and final Palestra appearances of the season against Albright and Louisville. He also tied coach Heyer's Palestra-Big Five player field goal record of 17 against Albright and broke Gola's one-season field goal mark with 277. Forward Dave (Lefty) Ervin, the surprising sophomore from Roslyn, Pa., led the team in field goal percentage (51%) and free-throw accuracy (89.0) and took second in the scoring department with a 14.6 ppg. average. Forward George Paull, a 6-4 junior from Philadel- phia, led the Explorers in rebounding with 220 and was the only other double figure scorer (14.5 ppg.). La Salle's only problem last year was a lack of height and rebounding strength. The Explorers beat only two clubs all year under the boards (Albright and Temple) and were out-rebounded by such totals as 44 by St. Joseph's, 32 by Utah State and 31 by Creighton. Saddled with a 3-13 won-lost record and a nine game losing streak on Feb. 1, the Explorers rallied for victories in seven of their last eight games. La Salle won only two of ten rugged road games that carried them over 10,000 miles from coast to coast. Only one Explorer graduated. He was captain Jerry Marano, a front- court reserve, who played all year with an injured right knee. It finally collapsed with seven minutes to go in the Miami game after a courage- ous season-long effort by the Dean's List Chemistry major.

LA SALLE'S NATIONAL RANKINGS

(Final Season Finish)

1949-50— 10th 1951-52— 17th 1952-53— 6th 1952-53— 4th 1953-54— 2nd 1953-54— 11th 1954-55— 3rd 1954.55— 3rd

According to the combined AP and UPI polls for the 1950s, La Salle was the 11th best "team of the decade." Since then, however, the Explorers have not finished in the top twenty of either poll through thy did hop into the rankings for a few weeks during the 1959-60 season and again in 1964-65. La Salle has never finished first for the season in either poll, but the Explorers did occupy the top rung for a lengthy period during the 1954-55 campaign.

HOW TO BECOME AN EXPLORER

La Salle College's athletic teams have been nicknamed the "Explorers" for about 20 years now, and it's all the result of a misunderstanding by a local sportswriter around the time when La Salle was dedicating McCarthy Stadium with a football game against Catholic University, in 1937.

The sportswriter thought La Salle was named after the noted French explorer, La Salle, instead of the famed educator of the same name, St. John Bautist de La Salle, founder of the Brother of the Christian Schools, the order that conducts the college today. The nickname was a good one, though, and caught on right away.

Incidentally, La Salle dropped football in 1941 after a decade of gridiron competition.

1 in now is La Salle College celebrated its Centennial Year 1963 and 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 6,000 students as compared 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 pro- grams in Arts and Sciences and Business Administration. Eight modern residence halls accommodate over 800 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 Psy- chology opened in 1960. New dormitories to accommodate 200 students opened this September. On the drawing boards are an athletic activities building and a new classroom building. 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.
