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 point 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.
