ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT STAFF

JOHN J. CONBOYAthletic Director

John J. (Jack) Conboy was namedLa 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.

Temple University, resides in Drexel Hill with his wife, Anne, and four

children.

PAUL W. WESTHEADHead 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 wonten 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. Jack Ramsay. He returned to his alma mater in 1968 as assistant

athletic director and coach of St. Joseph's '69-70 freshman teamwhich 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'CONNORAssistant 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 NewJersey'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 GALLAGHERAssistant 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.

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.

In 1968, he was honored with

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.

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.

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 someof 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 mandefense.

With the 'Husker Classic and the Quaker City Tourney on our Decem-ber schedule, our young team will have to mature quickly. Throughoutthe 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.

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

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

year, and being selected a second team All

1970 quintet in his senior

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.

Junior

*William D. Fox

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.

*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.


1970-71 23 9 5 8 23

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. KennedyJunior 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

center. 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

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.

OUTLOOK: The Eagles return seven lettermenand four starters headed by 6-8 junior All-

America candidate Kermit Washington (18.6 ppg.-20.5 rpg.), second leading rebounder in the na-

tion as a soph. Although both starting guardsreturn, 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, 6-5Lloyd Mayes (10.9 ppg), a senior, and 6-5 ju-

nior Tom Rowe (5.7 ppg.) could be pushed by6-5 soph Pete DeHaven (20.9 ppg— frosh). Avastly improved team with a promising picture.

OUTLOOK: Nine lettermen and an outstandingsenior nucleus of 6-8 sharpshooter Bob Morse(15.4 ppg.-8.4 rpg.) and versatile 6-7 CorkyCalhoun (10.1 ppg.-8.6 rpg.) will make theQuakers formidable. The biggest problem will

be filling the vacuum created by the graduationof 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 juniorSteve Batory (1.4 ppg.), and 5-11 soph WhityVarga (12.5 ppg.—frosh). In the frontcourt, 6-5senior Ron Billingslea (3.6 ppg.), juniors 6-8Phil Hankinson (9.2 ppg.) and 6-6 Craig Little-

page (2.6 ppg.), and 6-8 soph John Jablonski(15.1 ppg. -10. 8 rpg.—frosh) provide a wealthof depth. Look for Penn to continue its winningways.

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. Thebig question, however, is the backcourt where6-2 Aaron Covington (9.6 ppg.) and 6-3 MikeNorwood (5.7 ppg.) are the key holdovers. Withthe abundance of good big men, success is in

the hands of the guards.

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 magicvictories 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 teamwas 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 superhumanteam 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 newLa Salle and Palestra scoring mark with 45 points against Western Kentucky

in one of the greatest performances ever witnessed in Philadelphia. CoachWesthead 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, Bobdestroyed Villanova with a 30-point, 12-rebound performance, and added 39

points (career high) against Rider, and 33 points against St. Joseph's. In twoseasons, 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, WesternKentucky'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 missedthe 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 andexciting 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 anuncontested lay-up as the Durrettless La Salle five upset Creighton. The 6-0Cannon and the 6-3 Walsh came out of nowhere to have great senior seasonsfor 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 $20million. 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 ArmyROTC program, initiated in 1950, is available to freshmen, who mayapply 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.
