Pennsylvania With an expansion of the city of Philadelphia, there was an increasing need for a Catholic college. Its charter granted in 1863, La Salle was begun in a parish church. By 1929 the institution had outgrown three locations. In the fall of 1929, classes were held in the present College Hall for the first time. As the school grew further, McCarthy Stadium was built in 1937, followed by McShain Hall in 1940, Leonard Hall in 1947 and Benilde Hall in 1948. Recent plans call for additional structures to be erected about the twenty acre campus to meet the needs of the ever growing student body. k the need increased . . . With the outbreak of the war in the early forties, all activity at La Salle College was drastically reduced. Enrollment dropped and the work of the college almost ceased. With the cessation of hostilities, the students returned. The administra- tion further developed its program for the education and training of Catholic men. As the needs of the students arose, whether in courses of study or places to study, the school met their needs. The faculty was increased and more space was provided. New and varied courses were placed on the curriculum until now the students ' needs are met in every possible way. The spirit of the prewar stu- dent body began to stage a return. The result of this development was a La Salle College that was to place high in the minds of educators in the city and whose reputation was to grow gradually throughout the nation. Dedication Blessed Brother Solomon, educated by the Christian Brothers, entered the noviate at the age of twenty-seven after an interim in the commercial world. He rose rapidly to the position of Secretary General to Brother Agathon. The upheaval accompanying the hectic days of the French Revolution in 1789 added tremen- dous personal obligation upon Blessed Brother Solomon. Despite the dangers and hardships surrounding the educators in Paris at this time, he maintained organi- zation and close contact within the Institute of the Christian Brothers. Blessed Brother Solomon, through his courageous example, showed his comrades the proper course of action. His refusal to take the schismatic oath of fidelity to the Civil Constitution of the Clergy, imposed by the States-General under Louis XVI, led to his imprisonment. On September 2, 1792, Blessed Brother Solomon was brutally massacred. In view of his heroic life and his devotion to principle we dedicate this edition of the Explorer to Blessed Brother Solomon. Tr-i ' ' ' 9 r. Through expanded facilities Leonard Hall Leonard Hall, the first of the new buildings to reflect the needs of the expanding college, was dedicated dur- ing the week of August 24, 1947. The recreational facilities and a modern cafeteria indicated an administrative concern for more than academic subjects. Benilde Hall Due to the congestion in the main building, Benilde Hall, dedicated on September 19, 1948, provided 10.000 square feet of additional floor space. The building contains nine modern classrooms, six faculty offices and a student reading room. . . . We have grown in personal stature . . . No man can retain an eminent standing in the undergraduate environ, ment without assimilating the values of its teachings, the degree depending on his application and his utilization of those facilities available. In his pursuit of scholarship, the student will cultivate the rudiments of learning as applicable to success as he steps into the millrace of the professional world. with able leadership Officers of the College Brother G. Paul President of the College To fulfill the office of the chief administrator of a large itistitution requires, at all times, a capable man. In a growing college, the need for wise leadership becomes more evident. We were fortunate to have completed a college education under the competent leadership of Brother Paul. • Brother G. Lewis Vice-President of the College To assist the President in his duties and to manage the myriad details of administration demands unique ability. Brother Lewis has exhibited this ability as Vice President, a role which is oiten difficult in its apparent obscurity. Brother E. Stanislaus Dean of the College Maintaining the personal touch in daily contacts with a large number of men entails a keen student of human nature. Brother Stanislaus, philosopher as well as dean, has shown us that we were regarded as men before we became alumni. Brother G. Joseph Registrar The record-breaking classes have placed added burden on the office of the Registrar. The compilation of grades, preparation of transcripts and computation of averages have magnified the importance of La Salle ' s academic recorder. Brother E. John Bursar The endless task of financial record keeping has been performed with consistent efficiency by Brother John. Through pleasantness and humor he has lent a warmth to otherwise cold and impersonal business relations. and capable Administration During our tenuie at La Salle College student enrollment had grown steadih and ivith this growth the problems of administration increased. To the passing student the internal -(vorkings of an institution of this size can easily remain in the backgrotnicl, especialh when the administrators are as considerate and con- genial as aie those at La Salle. In e er stage of our college career their aid has helped immeasurably in allowing us more time to de ote to our studies. Brother G. Thomas, F.S.C. Dean of Freshmen John J. Kelly Director of Public Relations Joseph ]. Sprissler Comptroller Rev. Edward J. Curran College Historian Reverend Charles Gorman Chaplain of the College Margaret M. Kiely Assistant Registrar Dr. Thomas F. McTear College Physician John A. Stinson Plant Engineer under erndite guidance, The rising student enrollment necessitated a commensurate increase in the cmricula and in professional guidance. Included in the additions to the liberal arts curriculum were ad anced philosoph) ' courses, heralding the arrival of Brother Vincent, Dr. Blanchard and Dr. Keleher. The language department was augmented by conversational courses in the newly opened Phonetics Studio under the direction of Dr. John Guischard. The Drama department formed under Mr. VVillard Walsh offered courses in acting and directing and formed a solid basis for the future growth of the art of the theatre at La Salle College. As a corollary to a liberal education, advanced sociological studies, including a marriage preparation course by Father Gonnan, College Chaplain, and a comprehensive study of the history of social thought by Brother .Augustine -ere offered to interested students. The Department of History extended its scope to include courses in the History of Asia Minor and of Russia under the instruction of Doctor McCloskey and Mr. Donini. . Political Science course, including International Relations and World Politics with an inclusive study of national and local government, was initiated with Messrs. Courtney and Cleary as instructors. The Business Course was subdivided into General Business, ,-Vccounting, Economics, Industry and Marketing, supplemented by a diversified study plan including Statistics, Federal and State Taxes, Contemporary Economic Systems, Field Work in Industry, and Industrial Psychology. Under the expert guidance of Brother F. Azarias, co-worker of Brother Felix, F.S.C., professor emeritus of the La Salle Education Department, the department attained national recognition as a leader in the field in the training of Catholic young men in their chosen career. Brother . zarias was elected Secretary of the National Catholic Educational Association. The Department of Natural Sciences was extended to encompass the areas of Preparation for Medicine and for Dentistry, Chemistry, Physics. Mathematics and Biology, super ' ised by Brother F.

The class of 1949 . . . The majority of us entered La Salle with technical knowledge as our dominant goal. With our graduation, we sense an accumulation of more than a mere theo- retical knowledge of a science or of the arts. We have realized the importance of the disciplines that are not correlated to earning power. Without a proper store of moral values, our efforts in the professional fields would be for naught. We carry with us an extrinsic ability to share in the world ' s goods and an intrinsic sense of sharing our portion of the world ' s goods with others. c f- T . - ' First row, left to light: JOHN QUINCV ADAMS B.s. accounting 1707 E.

Traditional societies struggled to regain their previous status, while fledgling groups attempted to capture their share of attention. Class Officers Man is a social animal. Education can never proclaim the absolute autonomy of his intel- lectual powers to the detriment of the social facets of his composite nature. To educate a man is to educate the whole man; to develop one faculty of man, ignoring the further demands of his nature, is to develop half a man. The Administration and student bod) of La Salle College, jointly recognizing and pro- claiming this basic principle of true education, saw fit to establish a student government. For what is student government but a recognition of man ' s natural destiny to exist in a political com- munity. Student government is nothing more than the actualization of an inherent tendency in hmnan nature. It is a replica in miniature ()[ the politically organized state with which each student must share his existence. If the educated man is unable to intelligently adapt himself to political life, to assume his share of the political burden, he is not truly educated. There is some flaw in the educational machinery which sent forth this defective pro- duct. That flaw was the lack of social priming for his political life. What more efficacious device could be evolved to nurture man in his political setting than that of student government? If the future participant in political life could be schooled in the funda- mental piinciples of democratic government, and given the opportunity to apply them to his student life, then his enlightened ci ic participa- tion would be assiued. The basic principles of democratic govern- ment do not change. The social bodies to which they apply may differ, but the structural fabric is grounded on immutable principles. The citi- zen has the same rights and obligations to his civic government as the student has to his stu- dent government. FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS Left to right: Thomas M.

The leaders of the civic community ha e the same responsibility to the citizenr that the student leaders have to the student body. De- tails of organization differ but principles remain unchanged. .Student go ernment is not a whimsical fancy of immature students to be tolerated by the benevolent administration; neither is it a face- tious mask to be ridiculed by luithinking stu- dents. It merits the name of education just as deservedly as does the intellectual disciplines in their formal veneer. To deny the educational merit of student government is to dissect human nature, ignoring the very imity which charac- terizes the human being. If student government is given its rightfid position in the educational process, and alloweil to function in its proper sphere, then education is that much more complete. A vital need is furnished the student community when each student, as an individual, is assured of his im- portance and benefit to the community to which he belongs. He is nurtured in a democratic philosophy that will per ade his future life, establishing him as a dynamic citizen in an enlightened democracy. La Salle College has witnessed the growth of student government through its first year of tr - ing infancy. As the rough edges are hewn, the splendor of the gem appears ever so dimly. The beauty of the ideal of student government which lies hidden beneath the virgin crust of diffi- culties and disappointments is slowly being uncovered. The rebukes and scoffs of the impatient masses often conceal even the glimmerings which occa- sionally filter through. Yet the impediments of growth and the awkwardness of motion will one day disappear, and our ideal ' will be achieved. Student government may be awkwaid in its growth, but it will be brilliant in its matinity. The Maspe The Masque opened the school )eai by wel- coming a new moderator and full-time director, Mr. Willard G. Walsh. Elections were held and Thomas Fairbrother became President; Walter Kanigowski, Vice-President; William Snyder, Secretary, James Connor, Treasurer; and James Conboy, Assistant Director of Production. The organization went into high gear imme- diately when Mr. Walsh announced his plans for the production of four plays during the year, a new high in Masque activity. The first play was Moliere ' s The Doctor in Spite of Himself, starring John Burns in the title rol e. In January a brilliantly lighted and costumed Romeo and Juliet was presented with the aid of Chestnut Hill College and Immaculata College girls, and starring Gerald Nugent and Eileen O ' Connor. The Masque went to Chestnut Hill College in February for an evening of one-act plays, followed by a social. Life With Father, with William Graham and Gere McNutt was the April offering and met with a great success. H.M.S. Pinafore was produced in May with the substantial aid of the La Salle Glee Club and the Chestnut Hill College Glee Club. Joseph McDonald, Humbert Sweeney and James McCrane carried the principal roles ably. The Masque was fortunate in securing the services of Frank Scully as set designer and Thomas Quaid as musical director for the year.

The post war re ival of Junior Week began with the exercises of a Day of Recollection held at the college on Sunday, May 2, and ended with the Junior Prom, a gala affair, held on the following Friday evening. The retreat, conducted by Rev. Doctor John Donnelly, Chaplain o£ the Newman Club, Uni- versity of Pennsylvania, assisted by Father Gor- man, College Chaplain, emphasized the evil of secularism and branded it as the chief menace to the Catholic life of this time. The attendance at all exercises was both large and edifying. Two hundred and fifty couples attended the Jimior Prom held at the Cedarbrook Country Club. The music was furnished by Johnny Paige and his Melody Makers. A special featiue of the evening was the crowning, as honorary queen, of Miss Eileen Margaret O ' Connor, the two-weeks ' old daughter of Mr. Robert O ' Con- nor, Class of 1949. Miss Sylvia Shapranas, guest of Mr. Louis ' Viggiano, was crowned with a gar- land of white carnations as the symbol of her selection as Queen of the Prom. Later in the evening. Brother Stanislaus, Dean, assisted by Miss Shapranas, presented bronze keys to the Juniors in fitting remembrance of an enjoyable e ening. Other events of the week included in the pro- gram were a bowling tournament directed by Tom Quinlan and won by Bill Blankfield, and a successful stag night held at the Shanahan A. C. under the direction of John Biehl. And, last but by no means least, a Barn Dance and Weenie Roast ably supervised by Dave Lawrence and Charley Walker.

The Harvest Dance The traditional affair that initiated the Autiiiiin social season at La Salle was a magni- ficent spectacle. Under the capable guidance of Chairman Ed Grady, the committee arranged a splendid pro- gram. The result was the best attended, the most financially remunerative, and the most socially successful dance in the history of the college. The sweet and slow tempo of Jolmo) ' McGee and his orchestra was enthusiastically received by six hundred couples in the spacious Crystal Room of the Broadwood Hotel. The Harvest theme added to the decor of the ballroom. The dance was held off-campus because renovations to the field house were in progress at the time. r1 Top left: Brother George Thomas and the welcoming committee greet guests at the door.

Its aim is to foster better rela- tions among Accounting students by acquainting the students with opportunities existing in the accounting field. By having competent members of the profession address club members at meet- ings, it will promote greater interest in the voca- tion in which its members expect to earn their livelihood. Toms are conducted through the accounting departments of many large firms in the city, and thus, the students are afforded the opportunity of seeing in practice the theory of their textbooks.

The vital necessity of a national community of students is no longer debated, and the efforts of the committee are primarily concerned with practical campus projects. That college students may have a voice in the affairs of our society, and that united efforts can solve problems and inaugurate programs that would be impossible singularly were the under- hing beliefs that stimulated N. S. A. growth. As a distinguished La Salle graduate is the National President of this group, our campus connnittee has been in the limelight and the ability, energy, and leadership of the members have been a constant source of amazement. A credit card system has been installed for student discounts on many consumer products. A student loan fund has been initiated.

The Pie-Medical Society was established in 1933. Its purposes are to form strong bonds o£ fraternity, to further the common interests of its members, and to provide information per- tinent to their studies in professional or grad- uate schools. Although the Society was inactive duiing the war years, it is once again pursuing its objectives by inviting as guest speakers, at its monthly forums, men who are prominent in the various branches of the field of natural sci- ence—general practitioners, professional and graduate school professors, internes, and medical students. At its bi-weekly meetings, student members present papers in an attempt to make intelligible much that is obscure to the pre- professional or undergraduate student.

Radio Workshop In the sLinimer of 19-17, the Radio Vorkshop uiitiated its acti ities with the presentation, on campus, of a mock broadcast, written and pro- duced by the members. During the last two seasons, it has produced sixteen programs with the WIBG Student Workshop Series and has gained a reputation for its progressiveness, the high quality of material and presentation of its selections. The variety of scripts produced has ranged from Shakespeare through mystery and contemporary comedy, and has provided its members with an opportunit) ' to acquaint them- selves with the fundamentals of radio acting, participation and skills. In addition, it has pro- vided the Department of English with a file of electrical transcriptions of its broadcasts to be used in classroom instruction. S. IS. K.

Amongst its members are those who wish to augment their appreciation of the Fine Arts by partaking in them. Thus, the La Salle College Glee Club opens this opportunity to those who like to sing and who want to experience the emotion and love with which a certahi piece of music is endowed. As Poetry might be called a Static Art, Music on the other hand is a Restless Art. Its mo e- ment is felt in the sweeping rhythmic phrases. and ' the counter-balance of voices. This is what the La Salle Glee Club wants to aid the studeni to appreciate.

Instructions and practical demonstrations in the art of photograph) were gi ' en by mem- bers of the societ), including exhibitions of color slides by the members, lectures in darkroom pro- cedures, filters, lighting and the use of film and chloro-bromide paper. Members also partic- ipated in a field excursion to catch interesting scenes and to award recognition to the better photographs. Eeonoiiiics Hub The Economics Club w ' hich was brought back to the campus last year displayed an unusually aggressi e growing power this year. The club, under the guidance of its faculty moderator, Dr. Flubacher, was one of the most active academic organizations on the campus. The club is dedi- cated to the study of both the practical and the theoretical problems in economics arising in our system. The organization was able to bring to the campus several outstanding economists and through the medium of field trips enabled many of our students to observe some of oiu- major economic institutions at work.

On the evening of December b, 1948, a group of students of La Salle College met at the liome of Dr. Joseph F. McCloskey to organize a society known as the Historical Society of La Salle College. A constitution was drawn up by Raymond Reinl, Frank Leahy, and David Lawrence, and piesented to the group to be ratified. The ob- jects of the society are to unite those students interested in history, to stimulate an interest in history, and to act as a medium for the inter- change of knowledge and ideas concerning history. Ihis year has seen a continued expansion of the activities of THE GAVEL, the collegiate debating society of La Salle College. With the jiriniary puipose of de eloping the student ' s self reliance and confidence, the society has watched many of its novices develop into poised and confident speakers. The season featured paiticipation in se ' eral tournaments, including the Benjamin Franklin Debate Conference toiunament at Ursinus College, the Debating . ssociation of Pennsyhania Colleges tourna- ment at Allegheny College, and The U. S. . rmy National Tournament Region Seven elimina- tion rounds. Front row: W. Sheehan, L. Jackson, J. Q. Harty. Mr. Barrett (Moderator). D. Vig- giano, J. C. Smith, J. Duffy. Standing: W. Graham, R.

Members of the Philosophy Club dis- cuss Machiavelli ' s The Prince at a meeting in Benilde Hall. Philosupliy (]liib noi riienbiirg Socidj The La Salle Philosophy Club is a new organ- ization on the campus investigating the concepts o£ great thinkers ot all time. In weekly informal discussions of philosophic writings its members have developed a deeper appreciation of the significant factors of life, devoid of superliciality. It is dedicated to the proposition that Plato, Aristotle, Saint Thomas Aquinas. Saint Augus- tine, and the other lovers of wisdom solved their problems with a fundamental logic that is of valtie in solving the problems of the modern world. The Doernenburg Society was first founded in 1937, and was named in honor of Emil Doernenburg, Pli.D., Professor of German. In- cluded in the curriculum, in order that a better appreciation and imderstanding of German cid- ture might be achieved, is a ])rogram which includes such features as German movies, cap- tured German films, speakers, and social affairs. The Society has also established friendly rela- tions with other colleges and universities in the area, as well as with Federal, State, and Private Institiuions and Organizations con- cerned with German liistory, culture, and art.

The Out-of-Towners is a social club, the mem- bership of which is limited to those students in La Salle whose homes are not in Philadelphia and who live more or less on campus in houses immediately around the College. The Club was first organized in 1947 and has since aided the growing number of boarding students to ac- quaint themselves with recreational opportun- ities and has itself provided those opportunities in an atmosphere of Catholic college life. The Club is devoted to the principle that through provision of necessary facilities the College may attract high caliber men from many states which will be of advantage to them, to La Salle, and to the students from the Philadelphia area.

Varsity Club The Varsity Club is an organization of the Lettermen of La Salle College directed by offi- cers selected from the senior class with the full cooperation of the Athletic Department. At its reorganization meeting, Athletic Director James Henry reiterated the purpose of the Club by stressing the inrportance of studies correlated with athletic prowess. A leading organization on the campus during the period between 1931-1941, its reorganization indicates its return to a predominant position in campus activities. Newtonian Society The Newtonian Society, organized in 1946 by Brother Didymus John, is devoted entirely to the physical sciences. Its members volunteer to give weekly seminars on technical subjects, but an effort is alwa)s made to simplify the subject matter for the understanding of all. In addition to this, the Society has undertaken arious projects including the construction of a six inch telescope, a pyrolysis tube for making plastics, and a PH meter for determining the acidity of solutions.

In addition to the many rollicking afternoons in the saddle, the innovation of moonlight hayrides and hot dog roasts attracted new members to their con i ial gatherings. Left to right: J. Evans, B.

Basketball La Salle, in its 48th year of basketball, has what appears to be one o£ the greatest teams in its history. To test this squad, which has eight returning lettermen and six sophomores, is a 26 game schedule that includes teams from e er section of the country, and each a leader from its respective section. The Explorers, after accepting an in itati( n to the National Championship Tournament last year held at Madison .Square Garden, met tlie fast-moving and hard-fighting Western Ken- tuck) team that handed La Salle the defeat which eliminated them from further participa- lion in the lournament. La Salle ])layed a line game against Western Kentuck); ho-i ' e er, the Kentuckians pulled ahead dining the second half to gain the victory by a score of (i8-61. Yet. La Salle ' s splendid record of 20 wins and 3 losses dining the regular season remains as one of the best in the countrv. The 1948-49 squad of foui teen players con- tinues to maintain that fast pace which had gained them such great recognition during the previous season. Besides 6 foot 9 inch Larry Foust, there are also equally as dangerous men such as Captain Jo; Greenberg, Bob McCann, Frank Comerford, and Inky Gallagher, all of ■svhom are regulars from last year ' s squad. Not only is Coach McGlone able to start his games with those mentioned abo e. but he has a wealth of replacements that arc in no wav a hindrance to the team while in aciio-i. He has used Dirk . dair. ho can alternate with Foust, or anv other of the starting fi e, most successfully as a utility man. Others who have contributed miuh to the present accomplishments of the s-uiad are the sophomores who have been aptly nicknamed the Reindeers because of their inexhaustible speed and aggression, as well as great (lelensi c strength. A wild scramble during the annual Alumni game which the varsity won 74-42. Picture from left to right: Capt. Joe Grcenberg, Bobby Walters (10), Johnny Gillespie (15). behind him Fred Bernhardt, Lou Hilf (5), Ed Masterson (8), and Larry Foust. Bob McCann registers two points after successfully evad- ing Brigham Young ' s ace Randy Clark. McCann ' s 11 points sparked the Explorers ' 76-54 triumph in their first Convention Hall appearance of the season. The Reindeers include Matt Fanning, Jim Phelan, folm Gillespie, Jack Haggerty, and John Byrne. These men are directly responsible for La Salle ' s victories over Millersville and Louis- ville University fives. McGlone used them stiategically in both of these games, with the aim of running down the other team until La Salle was within sight of certain victory, then he would pull them out for a well-rested starting five. When these players work together or with other members of the squad they perform won- derfully and have certainly bolstered the Blue and Gold squad. After troimcing the Aliinnii, the La Salle squad met Lock Haven State Teachers, to offi- cially open the season and soundly walloped the visitors 67-38. Stealing the attention of the spec- tators during that game was John Gillespie, a 6 foot 3 inch sophomore, whose brilliant exhibi- tion of shooting, backboard work, and floor play plus his 1 1 points, gained him single honors. After they had travelled to Loyola and there, making more than fifty percent of their shots, downed the Greyhounds 78-57, with scoring hon- ors going to Larry Foust with his 29 points for the night, the Explorers made their first appear- ance of the season at Convention Hall where the) met the highly-rated Brigham Young Uni- versity. The Blue and Gold treated the Hall spectators to a game of smooth passing and fast- breaking offensive which completely bewildered the Brigham Young team and ended in a 76-54 victory for La Salle. With this victory behind them LaSalle had brought its winning streak to three games and then went on to extend it to five by defeating Millersville and Albright. In their second appearance at the Hall the Ex- plorers were victorious over the strong southern five from Georgia Tech. Then, in what proved to be one of the best games at Convention Hall all season, the Explorers and the Louisville University five had the spectators in a constant uproar for forty minutes in a game which in- cluded a bit of fisticuffs on the part of both Walt Colman, Larry Foust (14) and Dick Adair (6) gang up to take the ball from Louisville ' s Jack Coleman as Ken Reeves (21) heads down court. Explorers won Convention Hall thriller, 76-71. La Salle ' s Frank Comerford (17) gets inside under two Ramblin ' Wrecks, Bill Serneheim (11) and Dave Lupton, to score two points in Explorers ' 67-59 triumph. Number 5 is Tech ' s 6:09 center Jim Nolan. Inky Gallagher captures rebound despite efforts of Frisco ' s John Bennington (17), Don Giesen and Joe McNamec (16) as Larry Foust moves in to lend a hand. Frisco handed the Explorers their first reversal, 51-45 at Convention Hall. La Salle ' s Walt Coleman has his shot partially blocked by Jim McGee of Muhlenberg. The Explorers downed the Mules 73-56 at the Pa- lestra. teams. La Salle finally won by a 7(5-71 score. After the smoke had cleared and everyone settled back to relax, a few Convention Hall records had been broken. Louisville had com- mitted thirty-four fouls to break the old mark of twenty-six held jointly by La Salle and St. Joseph ' s, while the Explorers wrote in two others. One was for the most foul tries, forty- one, and the other for the most foul conversions, thirty. Temple held the two latter records, thirty-seven fouls tried and twenty-eight con- versions. The seven game winning streak of the Ex- plorers was snapped by the ball-grabbing and the highly defensive team from the Unive rsity of San Francisco in a tightly contested battle which resulted in a 51-45 loss for La Salle. During the month of January, the Explorers had to face some of the country ' s best teams. The Explorers were on the road foi most of the time, a strain which had telling effects. In rapid suc- cession the Explorers defeated Muhlenberg, Holy Cross, Loyola, Toledo; a test to any team even with sufficient rest between games. The effects of scheduling games with highly rated teams one night after another, showed when the Baldwin-Wallace five scored an upset over La Salle 52-49. When the Explorers re- turned to Philadelphia Temple greeted them with another upset. The Owls employed a tight zone defense that made it necessary for the Explorers to resort to a set shot offensive. The Blue and Gold five could not find the range all night and walked off the floor stunned by the amazing defeat of 54-36. The La Salle squad, travelling to Canisius College, regained their stride by promptly clowning their hosts 59-43. La Salle returned to Philadelphia long enough to take two more wins; one from Muhlenberg and the other from St. Joseph ' s. It was in this last game that Larry Foust scored 39 points to establish a new Hall record. Once again the Explorers packed up and travelled west to meet two very strong Ohio teams. In the first game of the trip the Explorers were edged out in the final quarter to drop a holly contested game to Bowling Green; the ioUowing night the Ex- plorers regained their winning ways by turning back Cincinnati, one ol the country ' s highest scoring teams, 42-36. In the game with the Manhattan Jaspers, played at Convention Hall, La Salle virtually outclassed the New York team in registering a decisive victory by a score of 76-46. Following up this splendid triumph the La Salle team in- vaded the University of Pennsylvania Palestra where, led by the tremendous offensive opera- tions of Dick Adair who scored 21 points, the Blue and Gold surged ahead in the quest for a toinnament bid, by defeating the Quakers 64-44 before the largest crowd to witness a Penn game this year. Resting upon the final games of the season was the possibility of an invitation to the Na- tional Tournament. The Explorers, imdcr great pressure, defeated Georgetown, Lafayette, and Gettysburg, but fell in defeat to Man- hattan and Nortli Carolina State in tire pay-off games. Tliese two losses v ere enough to spoil La Salle ' s toinnament chances. However, La Salle played in a post-season toinnament at Cincinnati, were they advanced to the finals only to be defeated in that game by the Uni- versity of Cincinnati. 1948-1949 VARSITY SCHEDULE NOVEMBER 30 Alumni Home DECEMBER 2 Lock Haven State Teachers Home 6 Loyola (Baft.)

A motorcade of twenty cars, preceded by the Philadelphia Police and Firemans Band, escorted Verdeiu from Broad and Lindley Streets to the stadiimi. Mayor Bernard Samuel had officially pro- claimed it Joe Verdeur Day because of Ver- deur ' s contribution to the world of sports and in consideration of the world-wide recognition our city had recei cd as a result of his diligent training ami spectacular achievements in aquatic sports. Sjx;akers introduced by Jesse Cain ' 50, who acted as master of ceremonies, were: Monsignor Emmett Monahan. an uncle of Verdeur; William Merriman, Chairman of the College Coaches Swinuiiing Association; Father John McFadden, Pastor of Verdem ' s home parish, St. Anne ' s; James Henry, director of athletics; Brother G. Paul, college president; Joseph Kirk, coach of swimming; and John Mclntyre ' 50 an Olympic coxswain. Verdeur, isibly touched by the acclaim ac- corded him by his fellow students, stated that although he had been honored by many groups since his return from the Olympics, I have never had the privilege of being honored by such a fine group of men as those at La Salle College. 9$ Over 2500 students and guests assembled in McCarthy Stadium to officially welcome home Joe Verdeur on Joe Vcrdeur Day , the day designated by Mayor Samuels to honor Joe ' s Olympic achievements.

The Kirkmen opened the season against one of its toughest rivals and turned back the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania 41-34. At this nreet two of the sophomores paced the field by turn- ing in two firsts apiece. Both Bob Regan and Farrell Devlin exhibited more than average form by splashing to double victories. At this meet Ed Richards and Captain Joe Verdeur took first place in their events. The Explorers, after travelling to Yale and losing to one of the best collegiate teams of the country 48-27 in which the Blue and Gold took only two firsts, Verdeur ' s 200 yard breast- stroke, and the 400 yard freestyle relay with Allan Rhodes, Farrell Devlin, Bob Regan and Joe Verdeur turning the tide, next met the highly-rated North Carolina State team. Agains t North Carolina State the Explorers fascinated the Raleigh spectators by outscoring the Staters 41-34. Again Verdeur and Devlin set new pool records; in the 220 yard breaststroke Verdeur turned in the time of 2:21.3, and Devlin splashed to victory in 2:17 in the 220 yard freestyle. Other firsts were turned in by Bob Regan in the 50 and 100 yard freestyles, and the 300 yard medley relay team of Ed Richards, Joe Verdeur, and Allan Rhodes. After winning three of the first four meets, beating Penn, Williams College, and North Carolina State and losing to Yale, the Exploiters ■(vere dunked by the University of North Carolina before the largest crowd ever to witness a swimming meet in the South by the score 45-30, despite the fact that Verdeur chopped 12.8 sec- onds off the pool record while turning in a 2:16.1 triumph in the 220 yard breaststroke. The 300 yard relay team set a pool record of 2:57.1 for that event, and Bob Regan, sensational sophomore captured his seventh straight first place of the season in the 50 yard freestyle. However, greater depth gained the swimmers from Chapel Hill their 39th consecutive dual meet victory. The Explorers took a westward trip during the Mid-Term Holidays, to meet the University of Michigan and Michigan State. In these two meets the La Salle swimmers could not quite equal the opposition. In the meet with Michigan State both Joe Verdeur and Bob Regan took first place in their events. The University of Michigan, another of the better teams in the country, handed La Salle its last defeat of the season by the score of 45-28. Despite our losses at the hands of the best in the country, the swimmers, under the coaching of Joe Kirk, maintained a noteworthy record of seven victories in eleven starts.

Temple and West Chester, two of the stronger teams in the district, also defeated the Explorer nine to bring the record to five victories as against thiee defeats at the half way mark. The La Salle squad regained its winning stride by dumping the University of Baltimore. The Hawks of St. Joseph ' s College thumped the Ex- plorers in one of the worst defeats in the three year history of the game at La Salle, 1.5-4. Still stunned by this lopsided defeat, they also fell be- fore the Drexel l ragons 8-7. The Haeffnermen finished out their season by splitting their last four games, lopping Scranton twice and losing to Drexel and St. Joseph ' s. With the entire squad returning, the Explorers are working diligently to attain the peak of con- dition in an efiort to improve their season record. They will be bolstered by a number of prom- ising Sophomores, among them basketball player Johnny Bryne. The new ball field is being readied for u.se this season, it was a large scale operation in- volving the inqjorting of many truckloads of earth and sod. The new diamond was made necessary because of the narrow confines of the field at 21st and Nedro Ave. The complicated ground rules concerning the short right and left field fences worked a real hardship on the pitchers. Many pokes that would normally have been loud outs sailed over the wall for auto- matic doubles, while occasionally a ball that was really tagged went for a double where, on other fields, it might have been good for the circuit. The Explorer nine will be bolstered at the end of the basketball season when six foot five inch Dick Adair will switch unifoinis and start lim- bering up his pitching ami. Adair had one of the best earned run averages on the staff last year and Coach Haeffner is counting heavily on him to come through again this year. Dick Bahney, Lebanon Valley, stretches to take the throw and retire Tom Dougherty in a game won by La Salle by a 5-3 score on the Explorers ' home field.

Track Track at La Salle has been steadily on the upswing since the end of the war. But, it was during the ' 48 season that the cindermen, by their hard work and constant striving to better themselves, established La Salle as one of the more promising teams in the East. Under Coach Bill Devlin and Advisory Coach Frank Wetzler, the Explorers succeeded in bolstering the weak- nesses of the previous season. Opening the ' 48 season the Explorers exhi- bited their strength on both the field and track by defeating Drexel 90i 4 to 351 4. La Salle took ten of the fourteen events. Tom Powell, Bill Fielder, Tim Callahan, Frisby Euell, Gus Con- stant, and Jim Tuppeny all took firsts in their events. After out-pacing the Drexel team, the Explorers next saw action in the Annual Penn Relay Carnival. During the two days of action the Explorers placed second in the Middle Atlantic States Championship mile relay on the first day and took first place in the class mile Appearing as though he was floating over the cross-bar, Jim Tuppeny, stellar pole-vaulter, begins his descent after clearing the bar in a meet at La Salle ' s McCarthy Stadium.

The team composed ()[ Bernard Rafferty, John Kelly, Clarence Har- ris, and Frisby Euell, turned in die time of 3:29.9 on the first day and the same team ran a 3:29.2 mile on the following day. The 440 yard relay team composed of Jim Tuppeny, Bill Fielder, Bill Fitzgerald, and Tom Powell placed third in their event. In a triangular meet held at .Swarthmore, La Salle placed second to Swarthmore and P.M.C. placed third. La Salle was paced by Bill Fitzgerald who took two first places, both in the hindles. Other winners were Bill Fielder, Jim Tuppeny, Clarence Harris, and Frisby Euell. La Salle scored 61 1 points to Swarth- more ' s VUi and P.M.C. ' s 21S . The Explorers exhibited superior form in the three-sided meet with Muhlenberg and Temple, in which they gained a sjalendid victory by scoring 661 2 points against Muhlenberg ' s 6O1 2 and Temple ' s 26. During this meet John Kelly established a new La Salle College record for the 880 yard run by turning in the time of 2:04.4; and Clarence Harris set a new La Salle College mark for the 440 yard run with his time of 50.6. In the other big meet of the season La Salle ran fifth in a field of sixteen teams in the Middle Atlantic States Championships. John Kelly again lowered the La Salle College mark in the 880 yard event with the time 1:59.5. La Salle ' s cross-country team was victorious in three of its six meets. The Explorers defeated Scranton, Lincoln, and took a three-way meet by defeating Albright and Lafayette; while losing to Pennsylvania, ' West Chester, and Georgetown. La Salle placed sixth in the Middle Atlantic States Championships. The Indoor Track team was very acti e; the team has made representative showings in the Inquirer Invita tion Meet, and other meets in Vashin ton and Ne v York. rii reiiiiis ii 1 t t , I ' ll i-H -A I SL.

Bill McH.ile, Joe Foster, Charles Smith, and Jack Maguire. With nine returning lettermen, the LaSalle Tennis team, toatheti b Dan Gallagher, looks to this season optimistic alh. Last season the Ex- plorers loiincl the opposition quite sliong and they (lid not Tare as well as ihe luul expected. I ' he stjiiad, in being edged out in nianx oi the matches, ended the season Avith a record that was l elow axerage. A lew ol the teams which the E |j| )rers tie- leated were Loyola, Lebanon ' alle , Linioln, and Ursinus. Leading the ' Lennis team this ear xvill be Captain Jack Magiiire who, vith (he other returning lettermen, will be siriving to o ercome the lopsided season leiord ol last year. 1 his season ' s line-up ot teams includes the Uni- versities ot Pennsylvania and Temple, Drexel Institute, Swarthmore College, West Chester State Teachers College and oilier teams Irom I he Middle . tlantic Stales. Preparing lor the third season as a permanent sports activity at LaSalle, the Golf Team, coached by Robert Courtney, will again be meet- ing strong opponents from this area and other teams from the Middle Atlantic States, During the previous season the Explorers ' record was marred by defeats handed them by Albright, Temple, Drexel, Pennsylvania, and the Naval Academy Plebes, while on the win side of the colunm the Blue and Gold was not so for- tunate. On the whole their record was below average. Coach Courtney feels, ho wever, that if the team is able to practice more often dining the season it will give them that extra boost that is needed. At the present time the Explorers have no home links at which they may carry on organized practice rounds. Despite the obstacles in the path of the team they again will face the University of Pennsyl- vania, Swarthmore College, Haverford College, West Chester State Teachers College and other formidable squads. Pictured below from left to right are Bill Groetsch, John Moore, and Franny Gannon, three of the returning lettermen of the LaSalle College Golf Team. Other lettermen not available for photograph are Lance Law- rence and Jim Finnegan. Cri ' w Members of the Varsity Crew pictured are as follows from left to right: Coach Jack Bratten, Bob Bond, Jim Dougherty, Don Conlin. Jack Lawn. John Winkler, Ted Simendinger, Frank Cosgrove, Dick Mooney, Jim Con- boy, Manager, and in front coxswain Bones McDonnell. Coach jack BratLcu vill be leaning heavily on his returning letterraen to carry the Blue and Gold to a successful crew season. In the early autumn outing Coach Bratten was pleased with the manner in which the varsity eight went through its paces on the Schuylkill River. How- ever, Coach Bratten was aware of the need of more depth in his squad and felt that in the Spring he would ha e a better turnout ol candi- dates. As a nucleus for the varsity crew Coach Bratten will call upon his returning lettermen Dick Mooney, Bob Bond, Jack Lawn, Dan Conlin, Jolni Winkler, Jim Dougherty, Ted Simendinger, Bob Wieman, and Coxswain, Bones MacDonell. Also Coach Bratten vill ha e the added aid of John Mclntyre, a junior, who coxswained the pair-oared Vesper Boat Club shell to victory in the National Championships and later in the Olympic trials, where they set a ne v record for the 2000 meter course. McInt re was the second LaSalle athlete to compete in the Ohmpics dur- ing the suinmer at London. This year the Explorer squad will be using two brand new shells which have been purchased from the same manufactiner who made the shells used by the United States Crews in the Olympics. Frosli Basketball Once again the Freshman Basketball team at La Salle has turned in a representative record. Coach Cliff Anderson ' s fine handling of this squad is an inrportant feature in its success. The squad is headed by such outstanding players as Captain Franny McMenamin, a former Roman Catholic High stellar performer; Bud Donnelly, a fine play-maker from La .Salle High, the Cath- olic League champs of 1948: John Grauer, a 6 ' 6 center fronr the sa me championship team; Newt Jones, a brilliant team player from North- east Public High; Ed Burton, a product from California who played on the same team with Bob McCann while in the Navy; and Ed Altiere, from Southern High. With these men as the nucleus and other able men to replace them, it is no wonder the Frosh has continued to uphold the fine record that the previous freshmen had established. Franny McMenamin, rosh captain, gains altitude and registers another field goal on his way to registering a new floor record of 41 points against Fort Dix. Jack Brier (9), and Charlie Wynne (14) are the interested onlookers.

Frosh Swimming Coach Joe Kirk of the La Salle Varsity and Freshman Swimming teams has voiced his pleasure in having a superior squad of freshmen swimmers. Last season ' s freshmen are making wonderful success with the varsity, while this year ' s freshmen appear to have the makings of one of the finest groups of swimmers in collegiate circles. Kirk is fortunate in having such swim- mers as Bill Doisch, from Roman Catholic High, a backstroker; Mickey McCarthy, West Reading High; Pat Kennedy, Amherst High, both divers; and Frank Staunton, a breaststroker, all of whom have received scholastic All-American ratings. Highlighting the Frosh season were their vic- tories over the strong University of Pennsylvania Freshmen and Girard College. In the meeting with Penn Frosh the Explorers turned in a very impressive 41-25 victory. Charles Keller, Bob Fitzgerald, and Jack Ricks were winners in the 50, 100, and 200 yard free- styles respectively. Jim Norman triumphed in the 100 yard breaststroke, and Bill Dorsch in the 100 yard backstroke. The diving honors went to Pat Kennedy; while the trio of Bill Griffin, Frank Staunton, and Jack Blewett won the 150 yard medley relay. Against Girard Col- lege, the Frosh took five firsts and then weakened in the relays to net them a 43-23 victory. In another of the season ' s meets the Explorers splashed second to a strong Yale University Frosh in a very close ineet in which the Eli ' s edged out a 36-30 victory.

Dining the ' 48 summer session the Softball League was packed with thrills and hard play- ing. The entire summer was spent in playing tlie regular scheduled games which found the two top teams, the Hornets and the Exploiters, meeting on September 7 for the final game of the jjlay-offs, Avith the Hornets emerging vic- torious. The meeting of these two teams, the Hornets, the first half champions, and the Exploiters, the Bill Coyle of the Hornets, takes a healthy swing at the ball in the final game of the Softball play-offs, in which the Hornets defeated the Exploiters 9-2. li. v Discussing a disputed point during one of the softball games, the three umpires pictured are from left to right, Harry Brunner, Jack Norpel, and Hank Taddei.

In the three games, the first went to the Exploiters 12-9, while in the second game the Hornets were too tough for the Ex- ploiters as they took a wild ten-inning game by a one run margin, 16-15. In the final game which held for the winners the championship and the much-coveted jackets awarded to the ictors, the Hornets displayed the form and consistency that go to make a championship team and routed the Exploiters 9-2. The Touch Football League under the co- ditectors Joe Kirk and Charlie McGlone, saw the season start with fifteen teams. At the sea- son ' s end two very strong six-man teams were ready to compete for the championship. The Ramblers and the Neural Impulses met on a cold December afternoon in a rough and bruis- ing defensive battle in which the Ramblers Action during the Intratnural Touch Footb.ill ka jur shows the going a little tough.
