m.i:. ecUc caa When the pastoral staff, so long held in the hands of His Eminence Cardinal Dougherty, was gently and approvingly rennoved by the Angel of Death, the call to shepherd our spiritual destinies came to you, beloved Archbishop O ' hiara. The great Catholic heart of Philadelphia throbbed in the dominant note of exultant joy when the news of your appointment reached us, but to Catholic youth especially was the announcement truly welcome, for your name, Most Reverend Archbishop, has long been identi- fied with every wholesome movement for the welfare of young men. We know that a whole nation of virile Catholic men gladly hold your name and your priestly effort in grateful benediction. God alone can tell the num- ber of men who were influenced for good by the inspiring messages that came from your active pen when you held the exalted position of Prefect of Religion at Notre Dame. Later as President of this great institution you earned a reputation for leadership and genius In construction that will not fade with time. May God reward you abundantly! The Senior Class of La Salle College, truly mindful of the kindness of Almighty God in sending you to rule over us, extends a hearty welcome and wishes you a long and happy reign as our Archbishop. We pray that your humility and charity will be exemplified in our lives and be the guiding light In the paths we shall follow. We promise, too, in fulfillment of the lessons imparted in this school and sustained by your prayers, to lead lives that will always be your joy and consolation. In these sentiments of profound esteem we beg you to both regard us as willing and loyal sheep of your flock, and permit us to dedicate the La Salle Explorer of 1952 to you. MOST REVEREND JOHN F. O ' HARA, C.S.C, D.D. Archbishop of Philadelphia aint foijn Paptisit ©e Ha alle (165M719) Founder of the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools, Patron of All Teachers, Patron of La Salle College. The central theme of Catholic life must be an ever-constant awareness of the existence of God and our allegiance to hiim. As Christian lives are dominated by the spiritual, so should this profession have an external manifestation. It is in the chapel that we worship, thank, and beseech the Supreme Being upon Whom we are eternally dependent and to Whom we owe so much. On the extreme southeast corner of the quadrangle is situated the grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes. Kneeling before Our Lady is the humble Bernadette, awestruck with fascination at the beautiful sight which she has been privi- leged to behold. May we too be permitted to vision as did Bernadette. May we too possess the simplicity of this holy child of Mary. Located in the center of the quadrangle, and facing the Brothers ' House is the statue of the Sacred hleart, its ex- tended arms imparting peace to all who revere it. Before it, and resting above a plaque upon which is inscribed the names of La Salle men who have made the supreme sacri- fice, is a flickering candlelight, a constant reminder of the omnipresence of the Almighty. Perhaps the most familiar site on campus is the main entrance at Nineteenth Street and Oiney Avenue. The plaques offered by the various graduating classes can be seen in the lower left and right-hand corners of this beautiful Gothic edifice, which is constructed of La Salle brick. Above: College Hall as seen from the east portion of the campus. Right: College Hall viewed from Twentieth and OIney Avenues. Above: Students streaming from College Hall past the Brothers ' House. The Spire can be seen in the upper background.

First on the list of its achievements was the Blood Donor Drive which netted over two hundred pints of blood for the Korean campaign. Following this, a campaign for used clothing was conducted, also culminating in success. Appreciative of the victorious efforts of the basketball team in the National Invita- tion Tournament, Council sponsored three magnificent rallies and twice led the stu- dents in colorful motorcades throughout the city. lO-l Begins uperu— BeniWe 103 in S :rv Mo. 1951 ton lo ani m oards. urged a score anuary ther de- intend to lUTSUing a en a Selec- •narked not en are post- junior April - ® f starch ° ' ' ' . i not be a --- . atislactory ° ' ' .t a s udent are either a satis . _ :erment as a Qualification Test .. service Collpyg g jreshman ci ; (upper three! the sophomoij for admissioii A in the uPP : on the ter ' g deferred iatory foi ' ' t - yea ' Pfur ' ' here issue. 7 ' n fu ' ■gay i-ea °r .V - .r ' e,, ;, ' pre •Wous ' ' s ai i, J„ of ,V, ' for ' ' ' afe gi-ea ffnglexpi ' -- fsh- cluhs and o.- ol suppo ' t tne i tVie may contribute u .tUed fposedUnd to be retur SlSnS - ...... become Me da J the ilUair Iman. ;OStS 1 year ' J wW remain patrons will s and $100 r.

Aca- demic credit is given for participa- tion while a spirit of fellowship pre- vails at all times. Under the direc- tion of Father William Sailer, re- nowned for his choral work, the Glee Club in three short years has become one.bf the most active organizations on the campus. The Club greatly benefited this year by the untiring efforts of its moderator, Brother M. Robert. Throughout the academic year the group performed before many and varied audiences, including benefit organizations, local high schools, and through the media of radio and tele- vision. An annual tour was made outside of the Philadelphia area and the scholastic season was brought to a close with the Annual Spring Con- cert. A Double Quartet added to the variety of the performances. A tavorite rendition is presented by the club at Its first annual Winterlude Whirl in the college auditorium. John Daly R.chard Clancy, Benjamin Tumolo, and Robert Bolsover of the double quartet respond to the energetic TrtPl W V ' ' : t5° ld Berkhelmer, John Mallon, Frednck Wozmalc, and Frank Barrett await the cue to loin In Kudy Kremer accompanies. Striving to attain the position it held in former years as one of the most active clubs on campus, the Ac- counting Association this year embarked upon an am- bitious program of dinners, lectures, and socials. Under the guidance of Mr. Kaiser, moderator, and Thomas Hallinan, president, the Association held its first dinner before the La Salle-Eastern Kentucky bas- ketball game. The varied socials following this affair produced an amazing innovation. Ordinarily a club which prefers its events stag, the accountants broke precedent by holding a number of mixed dinner rallies. Academic aims were realized through the inaugura- tion of a series of lectures on basic accounting princi- ples presented to underclassmen by senior majors. The program, though it met with only fair success due to poor attendance, nonetheless afforded the members an opportunity to apply practically the principles acquired in classroom study. Club ofFIcers: Thomas Hallinan, Michael Sassi, James Brooks, and seated, Thomas Blessington, IK v. Initiating the social season at La Salle, the nineteenth annual Harvest Dance, one of the most successful of the series, took place at the Broadwood hlotel on Novem- ber second. Approximately three hundred and fifty students and their guests danced to the syncopated stylings of Tom Dar- lington and his Music of the Years. The dance marked the first time that the Eve- ning Division officially participated in a joint student activity, with a large group representing that section of the college In attendance. As is customary, proceeds from the informal went to the Christian Brothers ' motherhouse at Ammendale, Maryland. Hard working committee members James Gibbons, David Rumsey Kalozi, William Metiler, and Dominic lannetoni take time out to poi to one of the many colorful posters advertising the dance. Out - aumcn To those sfudents who do not reside in the immediate Philadelphia area, the Out- of-Towners Club affords a medium through which they may cultivate new friendships in a strange environment. The purposes of the club are purely social. Traditionally, the organization has been the envy of those whose proximity to the campus has made them ineligible for membership. It has grown famous for its lavish parties and stags as well as for the binding sense of fellowship characteristic of its members. Indirectly, the fame and fortune cap- tured by all of La Salle ' s teams can be attributed to the managers of the various sports. James O ' Connor, President of the Praefectus Club, has endeavored to inau- gurate a system whereby no team, at any time, will remain without the valuable serv- ices of a manager. This club has been formed to give recognition to those stu- dents, who whole-heartedly contribute their time and energy as varsity managers, by awarding to each deserving member a blazer, symbolic of his unheralded labors. 7 ' P% c ectcu lcc6 S( clet€f t ;4cU i utcemc t 7fl Z(€€H i eme ttt Mainly through fhe efforts of its president, Jo- seph McCarty, the Society for the Advancement of Management, this year, more than fulfilled the aims for which it was founded. Throughout the year, lecturers noted in their particular fields graced the platform at the many S.A.M. meetings. Field trips were conducted for the purpose of acclimat- ing members with actual plant conditions. The Society ' s busy program culminated with a career conference held in early April. Members of the S.A.M. executive council: Edward Guertin, Gerald Monaghan, Gerald Porter, Leo Dooley, John Lins, Thomas Feeney, Richard Kloos, Edward Hurley, and President Joseph McCarty. 7 u Probably no other campus organization reaps for its members the benefits which are offered by the Gavel. The demands which it places upon their resources engender in them the confidence charac- teristic of seasoned orators. The many hours of neces- sary research were fruitful to this year ' s team as they concluded a victorious season with triumphs in over eighty per cent of their meets. The schedule Included such forensic luminaries as Loyola, Johns hlopklns. Navy, Georgetown, and Pennsylvania University. President Joseph Walsh compliments the club at the completion of a successful trip. l( 7 S fri ' f ' . RUDOLPH KALOZI— Editor-in-Chief Rudy co-ordinated the production of the entire annual, alloting to each section the proper amount of space, and deter- mining an orderly sequence for the va- rious divisions of the book, hlis contri- bution cannot be limited to any one section of the book, since his aid proved invaluable to each of the subordinate editors. EDWARD GRAHAM— Art Editor A good deal of the yearbook ' s rareness is to be credited to Ed ' s fine artistic prowess. The outside cover design, as well as all of the humorous divider pages throughout, attest to Ed ' s outstanding ability at the drawing board. ANDREW BERTUCCI— Activities Editor Give Andy a pair of scissors, a pen, and a bottle of ink, and the result will prove to be an outstanding layout. The en- tire activities section is representative of Andy ' s unique creative ability and artistic talent. JOHN McMENAMIN— Associate Editor It was John who undertook the unen- viable task of rostering the schedule for senior portraits in such a manner that no one was put to inconvenience. Much of the copy throughout is also repre- sentative of Mac ' s lavish mastery over words. .L ' JOHN DUGAN— Business Manager Besides the full-time job of manipulating the finances of the annual, John also found time to assist in the production of practically every other section of the book. Without his indispensable help, it is doubtful that the annual could have ever met its deadline. JOHN Dl SANGRO— Sports Editor Probably no other La Salle man is bet- ter acquainted with the fortunes of La Salle athletic .representatives than John Di Sangro. hlis intimate contact with the members of the various teams served him in good stead in composing the sports section. This has got to go, says Andy Bertucci, talented Activities Editor, as Rudy Kalozi, in the interest of art, resignedly accepts the loss of one more friend. The aim of the 1952 Explorer staff was to provide the graduating class with a yearbook both extensive in coverage and unique in form. The staff hopes that any inadequacies which may appear will be more than compensated for by the many outstanding features of the annual. The Explorer extends its sincere gratitude to the many students who aided the staff in acc omplishing its work, ana in particular to Jo- seph Gavin, Collegian Editor, who compiled the Class His- tory, and Brother Clementian, moderator, without whose valuable guidance the publication of the annual would not have been possible. Art Editor Edward Graham puts the finishing touches on the Blue and Gold layout as staff member Leo Dooley offers advice. The financial Brain Trust of the Explorer, John Dugan and Tom Blessington, appear concerned over an arising business transaction. There is no doubt that John Di Sangro is relating to John McMenamin one of the humorous tales about the N.I.T. 7 odccMt Saciet4f This year a unique change in the policy of the Podium Society here at La Salle was effected. Along with its weekly recorded concerts consisting of excerpts from operas and symphonies, as well as the presentation of data concerning the works and lives of the great com- posers, the membership this year also treated itself to the more progressive music of the modern era. In addition, a number of evening programs were held at which members and their guests enjoyed the varied recorded interludes derived from the Society ' s large collection of recorded music. Due principally to the efforts of its president, Ernest Gunn, the Society, one of the oldest on the campus, rose from the relative inactivity of the past few years to a position of prominence at La Salle. Society members enjoy one of the many recorded concerts held during the course of the year. 7 e l aUia h ®. A r The Radio Club is an academic organization ex- isting primarily for the benefit of those interested in the mechanical, electronic, and other technical aspects of radio. During the past year, instructions on radio fundamentals, electronic equipment, and the Morse Code were given by members of the club and by the physics, department. Although formal meetings were seldom held, the members met regularly to demonstrate the apparatus they had built, to discuss common problems, and to provide assistance to the other members in their construction and repair work. As a means of gain- ing personal skill in the art of electronics, certain members undertook the task of building technical equipment for the various laboratories on the campus. Thomas Truman and James Bacon visuaiiie the suc- cess of the Radio Club ' s work in the completed television tube which pictures Brother Gerardian Joseph puzzled over the experiment of Thomas Miller and Paul Moser. 1 ' ' TH i t etm ;4 ci c(M. Chartered in June of 1951, the Mar- keting Association, though a compara- tive newcomer to student activities, nonetheless was able to boast a mem- bership of over sixty students. The two- fold purpose of the club is: first, to fos- ter an interest in the field of marketing, itself, and second, to promote high ethical standards within the field. Mainly academic in nature, the club nevertheless offered a varied program of social activities. Interspersed among the regular weekly business meetings were assemblages at which noted au- thorities in the field of sales addressed the club, as well as those at which the more convivial atmosphere of good fel- lowship prevailed. In its initial year, the club proved a successful medium through which mar- keting majors could jointly undertake common social and academic activities. Its continued success in the future ap- pears assured. President Richard Emerson and Moderator Mr. John Maclntyre discuss policy measures tor the outhful organization. 7 lenient S. TOd Saccetcf The Herbert S. Weber Society, organized for the discussion of English, inaugurated a policy this year of holding informal meetings in the homes of instructors and students. At these gatherings, stu- dents and teachers met in an atmosphere of friendly ease to thrash out problems in literature, writing, and related fields. A number of distinguished guests joined the members at these meetings. In this manner, the group was able to touch upon a great variety of topics. Scholarship, for example, was represented by Dr. Morse Peckham of the University of Penn- sylvania; short story writing by Joseph Coogan of Immaculata College; and painting by Joseph Mint- zer, water color artist. A number of other special- ists talked on the relationship between literature and the various arts and sciences. Members seated, Charles Fulforth, Henry Largay, Hugh Smith, Donald Gates. Standing, Charles Day, Alfred Brennan, James Forrest, John Keenan, Richard O ' Brien, Michael Sikorski, Wally King, and James Sullivan. 7 Slue cuul 0 lcl S€M at La Salle, the Blue and Gold Ball this year was held at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel, January eighteenth. Over three hundred students and their guests danced to the continuous entertain- ment of hloward Lanin ' s society orchestra. A unique feature of the dance was the distribution, as favors, of miniature multi-colored mugs em- blazoned with the college seal. Kieser deserve much of the credit for making the formal the obvious social success it was. Ably assisting this duo were other committee heads: Paul Curcio, Program; Francis Conaty, Anthony Polcino, and Francis Hodgson, Band; Joseph Kriz, and Gerald Corkery, Tickets. Stan- ton Shelton was treasurer. Co-Chairmen William Kieser and Joseph Walsh and their guests with dance moderator, Brother George Thomas. sde ( e tde ( iaccdd Le Cercle Claudel, organized to bring together students interested in French language and culture, has the reputation of being one of the most stable organizations on the campus. Named in honor of the exemplary French Catholic poet, Paul Claudel, the Cercle, under the direction of Doctor John Guishard, moderator, and David Anthony, presi- dent, has succeeded in bringing to its many mem- bers a greater appreciation of French society.

Among the many social events sponsored by the frat, were the Annual Thanksgiving Dance, proceeds from which went to St. John ' s Orphanage in West Phila- delphia, traditional beneficiary of fraternity activi- ties, and the Toy Dance, the admission price of which was a toy to be used at the Annual Christmas Party held for the benefit of the orphans._ Much of the Chapter ' s work consisted in the ros- tering of an intramural football league at the Or- phanage, and in the presentation of awards to those youngsters who excelled in individual events.

Its pri- mary aims are to promote friendship among the cadets and to encourage and maintain a high standard of military edu- cation in the college. Membership in the club is limited to outstanding students in the second year basic course and the ad- vanced course. Among the numerous so- cial and academic functions in v hich it participated, the club sponsored the Annual Military Ball, which this year attracted over two hundred cadets and their guests. The outstanding feature of the dance is that each cadet is required to come attired in full dress uniform. The R.O.T.C. Rifle Team.

Since its inception in April 1950, the Pennsylvania Chapter of the Alpha Epsilon Delta has been one of the most active societies on the La Salle cannpus. Its principal aim is to encourage excellence in pre- medical scholarship through the promotion of closer student-educator cooperation. Monthly meetings are held at which films, distinguished speakers, and research papers are presented to broaden the student ' s background. In addition to these, the Chapter sponsors the Eastern Pennsylvania Pre-Medical Conference to enable interested students to become better acquainted with the various medical schools of the area. Among the other activities sponsored by the Pennsylvania Delta Chapter this year, was the student chest X-ray program underta ken with the aid of the Philadelphia Tuberculosis and Health Association. Over six hundred La Salle men took advantage of this service dur- ing the first week of school. 7 pa tieia So iettf h s.

It is primarily a discussion club. Members are called upon to prepare topics of general scientific interest and to present them before the Society for discussion. The subjects chosen usually deal with new inventions and theories which are of such a nature as to be conducive to argumentation. Some of the subjects discussed this year were Guided Missiles, the Proximity Fuse, Pathology in fHumans, and Sensi- tive Flames. The Society does not exist for what may be termed lofty motives. It exists because its members derive pleasure from flexing their intellectual mus- cles. Its meetings provide an atmosphere in which friendly arguments are encouraged. In effect, the Society accepts the advice of Francis Bacon: Reading maketh a full man; conference, a ready man. The activities of the Newtonian Society were not limited to discussions, however. Occasionally, lectures were given by faculty members and invited guests. Visits to government and industrial laboratories, scientific demon- strations, lectures, and exhibits were included in the Society ' s agenda. Mem- bers were encouraged to work on scientific projects and to give demonstra- tions of their handiwork. and Andrew Saggiomo. vuit f ( lu6 Open only to men who have earned var- sity awards, the Varsity Club is primarily a social organization.

Notable among these were the presentation of a trophy case to the school and the inauguration of an annual Letterman ' s Day at which ath- letes of former years were feted.

Their ability to make a success of any function, whether large or small, attests to both their interest and their tremen- dous talent for organizing. Not only heeding the wishes of the Senior Class as expressed through the Ad- visory Board, the officers were most efficacious in integrating the activi- ties of the various campus organi- zations.

The Senior Advisory Board serves two useful functions. First, it ex- presses opinion which enables the Class Officers to decide which proj- ects should be undertaken, and sec- ond, it carries official policy decisions to completion through personal con- tact with class members. The success of the yearbook is due in no small measure to the activity of this group, which undertook the bur- densome task of collecting subscrip- tions. Seniors are well familiar with the red receipt book which haunted them throughout the year and with the Board members whose relentless efforts contributed so greatly to the su ' ccess of the annual. SfoontA 17 ■ 0 SdA t Cl- Occt i tiet 4mtwe% n4f La Salle College ' s entry into intercollegiate basketball occurred in 1902, and succeeding years have witnessed the ascendance of her teams from the depths of relative obscur- ity to the apex of national prominence. The name La Salle has been worn on the jerseys of such fine performers as Clem and Joe Meehan, Charlie Mosicant, Ray Bahr, Frank Hoerst, Ed Krupa, and Charley McGlone, and in more recent times by other groups of outstanding athletes. Construction of La Salle ' s contemporary basketball em- pire was inaugurated in 1946-47, when a 19-5 record was posted under the captaincy of Bob Walters, an All-City selection and Pennsylvania State scoring leader. This year also marked the initial appearances of later-day stars Larry Foust, Frank Comerford, and Ace McCann, who, collaborat- ing with Captain Fred Bernhardt and Joe Greenberg, led the Olney Heights quintet in 1948 to a 19-4 season which was rewarded with a bid to the National Invitation Tour- nament, the first such offer in the College ' s history. Opti- Stu Tompkins who contributed brilliantly to the then-greatest season in Blue and Gold annals. Captain Jim Phelan led his teammates to a commendable season in 1950-51, and on the basis of their sparkling per- formances they were selected for the third time to appear in the N.I.T. But the same story again prevailed — the wrong team on the wrong night — as a hot-handed St. Louis combine won going away in a torrid exhibition of second half shooting. The Golden Jubilee season opened auspiciously but still afforded no inkling of the great things to come. Despite the loss of army bound Jack George, the La Salle five nevertheless proceeded on its conquering way, vanquishing opponents — some highly regarded, some unfavorably re- garded. An inconsistent season was brightened by victor- ies over Western Kentucky, Eastern Kentucky, Murray State, and Pennsylvania, but marred by losses to St. Louis, Du- quesne, Youngstown, and Georgetown. Immediately pre- mism was soon dispelled when a top-seeded Western Ken- tucky five handed the game Explorers a 68-61 setback in the tourney ' s opening round. Late season losses to Manhattan and North Carolina State ruined La Salle ' s chances of winning a berth in the 1949 N.I.T. hlowever, the Explorers were selected to compete in the Cincinnati Invitation Tournament held in that year, only to lose in the finals to the host whom they had previously defeated in the Ohio city during regular season play. The classy 1949-50 squad compiled an enviable 20-3 rec- ord and was awarded for its efforts the school ' s second bid to participate in the N.I.T. After subduing a fast-breaking Arizona team in their first tourney start, they fell, 49-47, before the powerful Duquesne Dukes in an exciting but dis- appointing quarter-final fracas. This encounter was the final appearance in La Salle uniform for Captain Frank Comerford, Larry Foust, Ace McCann, Inky Gallagher, and ceding the annual Manhattan game at New York, it was announced that La Salle had been included among the 1952 N.I.T. participants. The events that followed are glorious history, too numerous to be considered here, but presently to be related. During the years, fortune has smiled approvingly on the Olney hieights quintets, but upon none so benevolently as on this most recent team. We, the student body, have been privileged to attend La Salle in this, the year of her most fabulous athletic achievement. Constantly aware of the magnificence which its stars have displayed and ever thankful for the presence of such excellent performers — led by playmaking Buddy Donnelly, driving Newt Jones, fiery Norm Grekin, sharpshooting Fred lehle, rebounding Jack Moore, and irrepressible Tom Gola, we now take tremendous pride in presenting Ou Oum f952 TOM GOLA % . 7. KfU(M ED ALTIERI BILL KATHEDER FRANK O ' HARA JOHN FRENCH JOE GILSON JIM WARRINGTON m-? JAMES HENRY, Our Athletic Director Much of the success of the present day Explorers in Intercollegiate sports can be attributed to our Director of Athletics, Jinn Henry. Mr. Henry ' s job, among other things, is to arrange an attractive schedule, plan trips for the team and see that the team and coach are well equipped. We are sure that the great improvement that has existed in sports in the past twenty years at La Salle is no mere coincidence, but can be attributed to the untiring, unselfish efforts that have been so capably carried out by our Director of Athletics. There is no question that when one mentions the name of La Salle it would not be complete without adding the name of Jim Henry. KEN LOEFFLER, Coach of the Year During his three year tenure at La Salle, the colorful little red-faced man in the brown suit (he also has a gray one), led his charges to a 68-18 record for an impres- sive .790 average. In this period, La Salle won three City Championship titles and was thrice selected to compete in the National Invitation Tournament. The culmina- tion of his efforts was the victorious surge of the Explorers in the 1952 N.I.T., a deserv- ing reward for an excellent coach. I ' fr Ou% Ofim f952 The Opener Pre-season predictions ranked the Explorer Hoop- sters seventeenth. Coach Ken Loeffler considered that too high a rating, for a team that had but four men with any considerable game-time expe- rience and several substitutes who hadn ' t proven that they could play 40 minutes of top-notch ball. But even before the Golden Anniversary at La Salle College had begun its season, lightning struck. Jack George, our All-American Candidate, was in- ducted Into the Armed Service on the opening day of the campaign, leaving Coach Loeffler with an empty position. The Explorers opened their season against their traditional rival, Loyola, with a starting lineup com- posed of Tom Gola, Freshman; Norm Grekin, Jun- ior; Jack Moore, Soph; and Bud Donnelly and Newt Jones, the only two seniors on the squad. The Loefflermen breezed through the zone-minded Greyhounds, but not before they were given a first- half scare. Fred lehle was inserted at the start of the second half and he decided the game in the Explorers favor, an incident that was to take place often throughout the season. Frosh Tom Gola did not let the fans down as he matriculated his college career with a sterling all-around performance. Everybody stops and takes notice as Fred lehle uncorks a jump shot against West Chester. The Rams, like many of the other Fieldhouse opponents, extended the Loefflermen before bowing 85-55. Six Straight Jack Moore shows his perfect form as he goes up in air for one of his famous jump shots. _ Fred lehle is ready to garner in possible rebound if Jack misses. La Salle ' s first trip turned out to be fruitful as the Explorers beat a very good Niagara squad 85- 74, with Tom Gola being acclaimed as one of the best players to be seen in Buffalo in many a day. The Niagara victory was followed by four more sterling victories over semi-top notch competition in Millersville, West Chester, Lafayette and Al- bright. These victories were sparked by the shoot- ing of lehle and the all-around play of Norm Grekin, Tom Gola, Jack Moore, and Buddy Don- nelly. By this time Tom Gola and Jack Moore had established themselves as two of the most feared rebound men in the country. Also Fred lehle had capably taken over the offensive burden left by departing Jack George. The Explorers were now ready to entrain on the rugged part of the schedule. In their first appear- ance on the local doubleheader at St. Joseph Field- house, the Blue and Gold ran Delaware right through the boards as they upended the Mudhens 85-44. Three nights later, La Salle encountered their major test to that time in Western Kentucky and success- fully kept their eight game winning streak intact as they played superbly and defeated the hfilltoppers 67-58. Even the referee got excited on this one as nimble Norm Grekin finds a new way to swish the nets. Wacky O ' Hara is ready if needed. iA1 Tricky Norm Greltin fooled them on this one.

First L OSS Disaster struck when the Explorers traveled to St. Louis, as the Billikens dealt La Salle its first loss of the season 62-46. The game was closer than the score indicates, and were it not for some erratic calls by the referees, the Explorers would have emerged with their ninth straight victory. Coach Loeffler ' s proteges got back on the right path as La Salle swamped Temple 75-59, and highly- touted Eastern Kentucky 77-56, In games which fea- tured the great play of Tom Gola and Norm Grekin. Gola was chosen the Philadelphia Sports- writers ' Player of the Week Award for his sensa- tional play against Eastern Kentucky. A 92-55 an- nihilation of Scranton marked the final contest of the season at the College Field House. La Salle ' s freshman whiz Tom Sola lets go on one of his favorite shots as he soars high above the defenders to con- nect again. Fred lehle and Bud Donnelly seem confident that their help will not be needed on this shot. High scores prevailed as the Explorers continued to function in high gear as they dealt Muhlenberg a 95-77 shellacking and Loyola, in their second nneeting of the year, 90-65. The Explorers were dealt their second reversal of the year and by far the most humiliating as St. Joseph ' s upset the Loefflermen 54-53. This proved later on in the season to be the upset of the year. Newt Jones leads the pack as he is the first one down court and succeeds in registering a double decker as the others reach him a little too late. Because of his great speed, Jones was a big help to the Blue and Gold hHoopsters. Fred lehle adds another two points to his vast collection for the night as the Leopard ' s defenders fail to reach lehle in time to block the shot. Fred ' s great second half shooting was the deciding factor in this victory. Frosh Jim Warrington illustrates Explorer scoring power in registering the 105th point in the Murray State game.

Even shots of this nature couldn ' t help the Loefflermen as they were upset by the Hoyas 70-68. Finishins Fast The bout is between La Salle ' s Norm Grekin and Manhat- tan ' s Junius Kellog. Norm, with his Explorer teammates, collaborated to give La Salle a quick knockout over the Jaspers in a pre-tourney showing of La Salle in the Garden. After the defeat at the hands of St. Joseph, La Salle ' s basketeers pulled themselves together mo- mentarily and defeated another inter-city rival. Tem- ple, for the second time of the season 65-50, but on the between semester vacation, entrained on a disastrous road trip. Playing Duquesne, Coach Loeffler decided to use a zone, and it backfired as the Dukes were having an on night and easily beat the Explorers 71-60. The next night, the Loeffler- men, disgusted at the performance in the Duquesne game, just couldn ' t get started and consequently a great blow was dealt to the tourney hopes as Youngstown University upset them 68-57. Playing for the third time in three nights, the Blue and Sold hloopsters finally broke out of their lethargy, and soundly trounced Geneva by the astronomical score of 103-74. The courtmen con- tinued to play superb offensive ball against Murray State, and for the second game in a row passed the century mark, winning 105-82. The next game will not soon be forgotten, for it was one of the most publicized games in the city in a long time, the battle between Tom Gola and Penn ' s sensation, Ernie Beck. Before the game was three-quarters over Tom Gola had proved to every witness present and maybe even to Ernie Beck that there is no equal to Gola. With a tourney berth not far out of their reach, the Explorers played St. Joseph in the second game of their series. The Explorers more than made up for their previous defeat by soundly trouncing the fabulous Hawks 68-50. Tom Gola was given the Player of the Week Award for the second time this season for his all-around play against Penn and St. Joe. Georgetown, a hot and cold team all season, just about dumped any hopes that La Salle might have had about going to any post-season tourna- ment when they upset the Explorers 70-68 in a slop- pily played game. Even after this defeat, La Salle was mentioned by the N.I.T. committee as a pos- sible participant if they beat Manhattan and Muh- lenberg in their two remaining encounters. This must have set a spark off in the Explorers, for when they took the floor at Madison Square Garden against Manhattan, they already had been invited and it seemed like a thank you to the com- mittee, for they played like true champions that night and handily defeated the Jaspers 77-55. In their remaining game against Muhlenberg, the hoopsters continued their inspirational play and trounced Muhlenberg ,92-77. With the regular season ended, the Explorers began practicing for the N.I.T., and something new could be seen in the Loefflermen; what it was no one knows, but they encountered Seton hiall in the first game and: ind Stn C ' 7itle Bob Geasy, promoter of Convention Hall Doubleheader Programs, presents the City Title Trophy to Coach Ken Loeffler.

The combined efforts of La Salle and Seton Hall, with both teams at their best, made for an extraordinarily well-played contest with the Blue and Gold finishing on top, 80-76. Before the game. Ken Loeffler, the sage of La Salle, kept saying, If we get Dukes out, we ' ll give them a real battle. He was so right. It was up to La Salle ' s tall trio, Tom Gola, Norm Grekin, and Jack Moore to handle 6 ' 11 Walter, with the ultimate intention of getting him to watch the game from the bench. Gola drew most of the fouls, and Grekin and Moore, together with the frosh sensation, took care of the rebounds. Offensively, Gola and Fred lehle gave a sensa- tional two-man show as their 30 and 25 points respec- tively amazed the fans, lehle really put the damper on the Pirates with seven straight goals in the second half. With this victory tucked away, an air of ex- treme confidence was felt among the Explorers. Now they knew they had It and St. John ' s was next. Fred lehle, as hot as a blast furnace against Seton Hall, sneaks by a Pirate defender to drop one of his — shall we say numerous? — field goals. Fred, together with Tom Gola, accounted for a mere 55 of the total 80 markers registered against the South Orange aggregation. Exhibiting his tremendous spring, Tom Gola Jars the ball lose from Seton Hall ' s 6 ' II star, Wally Dukes.

The Pirates came back with a two pointer before the end. Ticket Sale Boom Tom Sola bulls his way around St. John ' s right flank for a twin pointer in the Explorers ' 71-62 victory over the favored Red men. Against St. John ' s, the Explorers could not reach the pitch that they exhibited against Seton hiall, but still had plenty in the clutch and won out, 51- 45, over the New York darlings. In all truth, the Redmen were also suffering from an off night, but La Salle still had a definite overall edge. Norm Grekin, Jack Moore, Fred lehle, and Buddy Donnelly were superb despite anemic shoot- ing averages. Tom Sola ' s shots were always close but not close enough, which proves that even he misses once in a while. Tom was nevertheless sen- sational, giving an excellent defensive job on Bob Zawoluk. In this game, Grekin had a real workout at the foul line, setting a tournament record of thirteen converted free throws. Jack Moore was little short of sensational off the boards, and also garnered important points at the right time. Buddy Don- nelly did a great job, as always, of commanding La Salle ' s floor game. All-in-all, it was a tremendous team victory. Following this win, even the critics conceded that La Salle might go all the way, something the Blue and Gold fans were convinced of by now. K Fred lehle misses drop kick as Tom Gola and Norm Grekin battle St. John ' s Ronnie McGilvary and Jack McMahon for possession as Zeke Zawoluk watches the action. Teammates Jack Moore and Norm Grekin fight St. John ' s Jim Davies for possession of the ball under the Explorer basket but to no avail as the ball is batted out of bounds. Although having an off night in their shooting, the Blue and Gold had enough to come out victorious, 51-45. Norm Grekin tried to block this shot by the Dukes ' Dick Ricketts but some of the evil teammates of Ricketts threw the old football block on Grekin. Norm more than made up for this as he went on to do a tremendous rebounding job against the vaunted Dukes. The victory by the Explorers avenged an early season defeat. Sweet Revenge In the semi-finals, the Loeffiermen were pitted against a tall Duquesne outfit, a team by which they had been previously trounced, 71-60, during regular season play. Also, the Dukes were the tourney ' s top-seeded five, and were given the go-ahead to extinguish the Explorer fire and take top honors. But instead, in one of the easiest thumpings ever administered In tourney play, the Dukes were hu- miliated 59-46 before an over capacity Garden crowd. The Explorers wasted little time, taking the lead at the outset and increasing it as the game pro- gressed. In viewing this game, the starting five must be cited together as outstanding. The re- bounding of Moore and Gola was terrific and the shooting of lehle and Grekin torrid, while the ball- handling of Captain Buddy Donnelly completely captivated the G ' arden fans. The final score shows the great defensive game played by the La Salle hoopsters, who held the Dukes ' Gold Dust Twins, Jim Tucker and Dick Ricketts, to a combined total of eighteen points. Now there was little question as to which was the best team in the world. Only Dayton stood as an obstacle of proving the contrary. Before BEFORE.

With everyone behind them, the Loef- flermen exhibited a basketball classic, the likes of which is rarely seen, and as if to thank New York for the extended invitation, they proceeded with con- summate ease to display their greatness. The Blue and Gold led at times by as much as fifteen points and the only question remaining was how great would be the final margin of victory. Toward the game ' s end, the starting five departed amid deserving ear-shattering accolades, and the reserves entered to finish the contest in commenda- ble fashion. La Salle ' s victories were team victories. This can be seen by the fact that three of the Explorers were named on the all N.I.T. first team and one on the second. Also the Most Valuable Player Trophy was shared for the first time. From the La Salle stand- point, five such trophies should have been awarded. As a prize for winning the N.I.T., the Explorers were invited to play in the Olympic Tryouts. In the semi-finals the Blue and Gold were pitted against St. John ' s, the runnerup of the N.C.A.A. Tourney. The Explorers easily defeated the Redmen in the Olympic semi-finals 71-62, and were opposed by Kansas in the finals. The Midwesterners had Clyde Lovelette and he was simply too much for the Ex- plorers that night as he scored 40 points. The final score was 70-65, but the Blue and Gold even in defeat proved to everyone in New York that La Salle has the best team in the world. As a former alumnus put it, I think you not only have the greatest team, but the greatest College in the country. This is fun, Buddy Donnelly tells himself as he drives past Dayton ' s Jim Norris for a twin pointer. This was only one of the many times that Bud accomplished the feat against the Flyers. At the whistle Donnelly had 1 1 points. He also had the highest number of assists with six. Nice going. Bud. One sharer of the Most Valuable Trophy passes to his co- winner In a scoring maneuver that turned out to be success- ful for the Explorers. Tom Sola adds an assist to his night ' s scoring total of 22 points with a nifty pass to Norm Greltln, who scooted around the defender to drop one in for La Salle. Harry Paxton and Charlie Grigsby of Dayton stood no chance of holding down these two. Thanks For A Job Well Done This picture speaks for itself. The Explorers ' victory was heralded throughout the nation as one of the greatest spectacles in the history of tourney play. We can only add as so many have already: CONGRATULATIONS, CHAMPS. Well Earned Reward Tom Gola and Norm Grekin are overjoyed after being presented with the Most Valuable Player Trophy of the N.I.T.

Bud Donnelly Newt Jones There is no question as to the value of the two graduating seniors, Captain Buddy Donnelly and fleet footed Newt Jones. These two gentlemen, who for the last three years have served La Salle nobly and well in her basketball endeavors are cer- tainly deserving of praise and recognition. Bud and Newt will be graduating in June but nnany more basketball seasons will pass before the deeds of these seniors have slipped completely from memory. Justice prevailed as these two have participated In the N.I.T. in each of their three seasons of var- sity bail. It seems to be something of a reward for them. It would take a volume to express on paper what we think of Buddy Donnelly. But then, we do not ■have to write a word about him. hHis actions on the hardwood speak for themselves, and it Is doubt- ful ' f the Explorers could have attained such heights without his efforts. His dazzling dribbling, which he so talently exhibited in the N.I.T., and his playmaking were supreme. One of the most outstanding and underrated backcourt men in the country, his deft- ness in passing and defense is equalled only by his inspirational leadership and keen competitive spirit. We wish Bud continued success in his life-long endeavors. To Newt Jones can be given a large degree of credit for the speed which La Salle teams have possessed in recent years. Newt is probably as fast as any ballplayer in college ranks, and the mid- dle name of hustle could easily be applied to him. While at La Salle he has shown that he does not know the meaning of quit. To him, the game is over only when the final buzzer sounds. It is next to impossible to prevent him from driving hoopward as he hurtles through space. In addition to his hustle. Newt is a fine backcourt man, excelling in passing and defense, and is also a top performer in the clutch. With such deter- mination and will to win. Newt cannot help but succeed. Scid ft tui 1951-52 EXPLORER VARSITY SWIMMING TEAM Standing, 1. to r.: Ed Burns |Mgr.), John MIsura, Bruce DeForrest, George Hag- gerty, John Connolly, Allen Lee, Tom Kean, John Gereghty, Tom Lunney, Head Coach Joe Kirk and Asst. Coach Dick Lumsden. Seated: Joe Summers, Bob Lennox, Chick McLaughlin, Joe McKenna, Co-Captains Jack Ricks and Bob Fitzgerald, Bob Hafey, Jim Pickford and Chuck Mohacey. Despite the loss of Pat Kennedy, an Olympic hopeful, to the Marines, before the season got underway, the Blue and Gold Swimnners ended the 1951-52 swim season as one of the most successful in the history of the sport at La Salle College. Starting out rather shakily and consequently losing their first two meets, the natators took hold of themselves and splashed past the next six rivals in grand fashion but came up against the best in the country in the last meets and were beaten, but not before they gave two national powerhouses. North Carolina and Yale, a run for their money. With a dominantly green squad, Joe Kirk ' s proteges began with successive losses to Delaware 43-41, and a star- studded squad at Bainbridge Naval Training Center 50-35. After the two losses, the Explorers showed an amazing ex- hibition of power, downing the University of Pennsylvania by the one-sided score of 62-22. The Kirkmen took a total of nine first places in this meet, with Bob Fitzgerald participat- ing in two of them. The first home meet, held at the Germantown Y.M.C.A., found the Explorers coming out on top for the second straight time, with Loyola of Baltimore the victim by the same lopsided score that had beaten Penn, 62-22. The meet was highlighted by the diving performances of Bob Lennox and Bob Hafey. Lafayette was next to feel the claws of our upsurging natators as they were dealt a 60-24 shellacking. Frank Griffin set a pool record in this meet in the backstroke with a time of 2.26.7. Temple became the fourth straight victim of the prolific Explorers as they were dunked by the ever-improving Kirk- men, and again by the fantastic score of 67-17. Coach Joe Kirk then used his substitute mermen in most of the events against West Chester, and they came through in impressive style to whip the Teachers 59-24. With Jim Pickford establishing a new pool record for the backstroke, formerly held by his teammate, Frank Griffin, the Explorers made it six in a row as they swam past Franklin and Marshall 51-32. The Explorers ' win-streak was abruptly ended at six by a veteran North Carolina squad by a 53-31 count. The Southerners had too many guns for the Explorer tankmen that night and only Bruce DeForrest and Bob Fitzgerald could make any headway against the Tarheels. Still burning from the defeat at the hands of North Caro- lina, the Blue and Gold took their annual trip to New hiaven to oppose Yale, perennially the best in the country, and almost came through with one of the greatest upsets in modern swim history, but the Bulldogs with their great re- serve strength had enough to pull it out of the fire and finally won 49-35. Jim Pickford, the Explorers ' ace baekstroker, churning through the water toward another victory In his specialty. Jim was one of the most consistent members on the team this past year and was one of the main reasons why the swim season was so successful. Captain Bob Fitzgerald seems to be extending his arms in a V for Victory motion as he comes home a victor In the breaststroke event. Bob set a good example for his team- mates as he finished first In at least one event every meet. For his great accomplishments in the water, Fitzgerald has been a member of the All-Amerlcan Swim Team for the past three years. This being the last meet of the year, Joe Kirk lost five j members of his successful swim team. The seniors were Bob ] Fitzgerald, Jack Ricks, Jim Pickford, Frank Griffin and Bob i Hafey. BOB FITZGERALD, co-captain of the ' 52 squad, has been a constant example of condition and ability and a reflection of good coaching. Bob hit his peak as early as the Delaware meet when he set a pool record and he went on to register at least one first place in every meet thereafter in either the 150-yard individual medley or the 200-yard breaststroke. JACK RICKS, co-captain of the ' 52 squad, and, as such, this freestyler had the job of helping steady the younger and greener members of the squad. Jack also came through when needed with valuable points in the 220-yard and 440- yard freestyle events and was a great of the heart of the team along with Fitzgerald. JIM PICKFORD, a backstroker, was the smile (understate- ment of the year) of the club. Whenever pressure appeared, everyone looked to Jim, and his antics relieved the tension. Jungle Jim hit his peak against Franklin and Marshall when he came through in never-to-be-forgotten fashion to catch and nip teammate Frank Griffin in the last 50 yards in record time. FRANK GRIFFIN, a big, classy performer never stopped coming through in the backstroke event. Griff set two marks during the campaign in the 200-yard backstroke, one against Temple and the other at home against Lafayette. BOB hHAFEY, a top diver who performed well all season and improved with each meet. He picked up the slack when Bob Lennox left and hit his stride with first places against Franklin and Marshall and Lafayette. Bruce DeForrest seems confident, and has reason to be, as he scores another Impressive victory. This time Temple Is the victim. Bruce was one of the reasons the Explorers came very close In gaining a history-making upset over Yale. Here we find Coach Joe Kirk discussing the team ' s possibilities with his Co- Captains, Jack Ricks (center) and Bob Fitzgerald (right), and by expressions on their faces we say that an air of confidence existed. Diver Bob Hafey, one of Joe Kirk ' s mainstays for the past three years, gets ready to execute an- other fancy dive. Bob thrilled the crowd In meet after meet with his breath-taking fancy dives. The Explorers ' 220-yard medley relay team, com- posed of seniors Jim Pickford and Bob Fitzgerald and freshman Joe Summers get ready to take to the water. This group was one of the main point producers for the mermen all season. A The more the merrier as Fred Gelter, Joe Merkins, George Dulces, Charlie Harmon and Bob Smith take a com- manding lead in their dual meet match against West Chester. Fred Geiter sets the pace and the other Explorers follow his good example as he comes up the hill for the last time just a few seconds before he crosses the finish line. Other La Salle men are Earl Eldridge, George Dukes, Fuiz Harmon and Bob Smith. FRANK WETZLER Track Coach GEORGE DUKES Captain r ■ m ' h rr r i m n ■T -i- = Just one more step, seems to be the expres- sion on the faces of Charlie Harmon, Joe Mer- kins and Earl Eldridge as they finish in a sen- sational three-way tie for first place against Penn. 010 ( CMt They ' re off, as La Salle and St. Joe ' s get on their way on the La Salle course. La Salle ' s big three are well ahead of their nearest oppo- nents as they seem to be taking it easy. Earl Eldridge, Joe Merltins and Charlie Harmon were Frank Wetzler ' s big point getters all season. La Salle ' s Cross-Country team, dominated by underclassmen, enjoyed one of fhe most successful seasons since the sport was inaugurated at the school. They lost but one dual meet, while win- ning five, and showed to excellent advantage in the IC4A and Middle Atlantic Cross-Country Cham- pionships. The team, which was composed of only one sen- ior, Jack McKay, showed improvement with every meet and with such outstanding freshmen as Joe Merkins and Earl Eldridge, Coach Frank Wetzler ' s Cross-Country fortunes should considerably improve within the next few years. The Explorers opened their season by traveling to New York to take on Manhattan and St. John ' s in a triangular meet on the rough Dexter Park Course and weren ' t given a homely welcome as the Big City boys ended up one-two ahead of the Ex- plorers. The Blue and Gold cindermen got on their winning stride in their home opener as they defeated Temple 23-34. This victory was followed by a defeat at the hands of St. Joe ' s by a 23-33 count. The Hawks were by far the best team in the Middle Atlantic Conference, so such a narrow defeat wasn ' t con- sidered too damaging. The Explorers really got hold of themselves after this defeat and went on to defeat Lafayette 18-41, West Chester 15-50, Pennsylvania 20-35, and power-packed Georgetown 23-36. The regular season ended after the Georgetown meet and the cindermen began preparing for the Middle Atlantic Championships with the intention of ousting St. Joe. The meet was run at Muhlen- berg and the Explorers came within an eyelash of winning but were nipped by the hHawks at the finish. Since the season was highly successful, individual standouts proved to be many; Earl Eldridge, the frosh whiz, proved by far to be the best individual performer for the cindermen. Behind him, the Ex- plorers had Joe Merkins, another frosh who shows great promise. The others who made this season such a success were Charlie (Fuzz) hiarmon, Fred Geiter, Capt. George Dukes, Jack McKay, hiarry Agnew, Don Sharpe, Fred Dransfield and Bob Smith. )U ' ■i ' ' ' ' : m ' ' - Z WI Wait for me, Earl, Charlie Harmon seems to be saying as Eldridge and a St. Joe man run neck and neck on the Wister Park Course. The Hawks went on to win the meet. Capt. George Dukes clings to his lead as St. Joe ' s John Cunningham fights desperately to overtake him in a dual meet against the Hawks. -. -t B HP ' P ' P VPV B till • Start nothing; that is a finish.

In retrospect, the Explorer booters, under mentor Joe Smith and co-captains hlerb Schweitzer and Ed Verdeur, failed to come up to pre-season expec- tations. Sporting an array of returning senior let- termen, the 20th and OIney kickers entered into a rugged, and in many cases, muddy season since more than half of the games played were on soggy fields. Included in the schedule were West Chester and Temple, bright stars in the soccer galaxy. The initial game at La Salle ' s home field was the stage for the Explorers ' first defeat. West Chester, second best in the East, manifested their super- status as a soccer potent by overpowering the home team 3-0. Traveling to Muhlenberg, La Salle was not af- fected by a strange field, and showed their su- periority, presenting the Mules with a 3-1 defeat, and marking a successful attempt in their first road trip. The itinerant kickers were guests of Pennsylvania, playing at the university ' s River Field. In a game played in the rain and on a soggy field, Penn punched in four quick goals in the first period to clinch the contest. Throughout the game, La Salle never threatened. Final score, 6-0. Returning home, we played host to Drexel. How- ever, we were too mannerly, showing a poor of- fense, with many plays not working, while Drexel exhibited a strong defense, thwarting our efforts to score, and goaling two in their 2-0 triumph. Joe Smith ' s charges journeyed to Temple Sta- dium, but the game was postponed due to inclement weather and poor playing conditions. In the later meeting. Temple, National Collegiate Soccer Cham- pions, defeated La Salle 4-0 in a very rough game that resulted in many injuries for both sides. Continuing their rambles, the OIneyites played away at Western Maryland. Although La Salle constantly threatened. Western Maryland put up a strong defense, and managed to score the only goal of the game, winning by this margin. In a return to the green pastures of their home field. La Salle lost a 1-0 heartbreaker to Lafayette when the goalie and fullback crossed signals, and an opponent wingman footed the decisive score into the net. The final encounter was played away, at Dela- ware, under the worst conditions (a driving rain, and water-immersed field). Delaware, in a first period blitzkrieg, booted in three goals and scored two more later in the game for a 5-0 victory. One of the brighter aspects bestowed upon the soccer men was the receiving of major letters. Prior to this year all soccer letters were minor letters. Also deserving mention are the departing seniors who expended their efforts in a very trying season. These were: co-captains hlerb Schweitzer and Ed Verdeur, Jack McKay, Sam McKay, Joe Schmidt, and Joe Woods. Smooth kicking, fellas!

Back row, I. to r.: Tom Lucia, Herb McLaughlin, Bernie Stutski, Bill DePace, Joe Toth, Lou Griffin, and Jim Covello. Winners of last year ' s Middle Atlantic Confer- ence Tourney Championship, the La Salle baseball team enters this season very optimistically. There would be considerably more optimism, but the loss of Jack George to the Army has dampened this somewhat. Also, via the graduation route. Coach Bill hlaeffner lost such capable performers as Cap- tain Moe Rudden, Jack Molnar, Moe Morehead and Frank Grannahan. Early season performances by the baseballers haven ' t been what was expected, mainly because of the lack of hitting that was anticipated this season, but Coach hlaeffner has been using different com- binations in order to find his best team and we are confident that he will find it and do as good or even better than last year ' s fine record of 13-5. This year. Coach hlaeffner is in the process of a rebuilding job, so that he can give La Salle as good a season as last year. So far this season the Explorers have dropped decisions to Pennsylvania, St. John ' s and Lafayette, while being victorious over Temple, 10-5, in a free scoring game. The Explorers will start with an infield composed of Paul Curcio at the initial sack. Junior Tom Sottile at the keystone, Frosh Gene O ' Donnell at shortstop and Senior Joe Torrence at the hot corner. The Coach Bill Haeffner and Captain Frank Murdock seem pleased with what they see as they discuss the team ' s chances before the St. Joe game. Frank is one of Coach Haeffner ' s mainstays from last season ' s M.A.C. Champs. ou+field will be composed of Captain Frank Mur- dock In left, Joe Gallegher, a .400 hitter last sea- son, In center, and Senior Carl Kolanko In right. The backstop position will be held down by Bernie Stutskl. Probably the nucleus of the Explorer nine is In Its pitching. The Blue and Gold has its entire squad back from last yea_r and in the early season games have shown to great advantage. The staff Is headed by Jim Covello, a seven game winner last year. Hie also defeated Lehigh in the opener of the M.A.C. tourney. Coach hiaeffner Is looking to Covello to take home a majority of the Explorer victories. Behind Covello are hierb McLaughlin, another one of the Explorers ' mainstays. A starter for the past two seasons, hIerb has pitched some fine ball for the Explorers and great things are expected from him this season. The other starter is expected to be Joe Gal- legher, another veteran of last year, who helped Immensely In the Explorers ' quest to the M.A.C. title. The rest of the mound crew are underclass- men. Such men as Bill De Pace, Lou Griffin, Bill Drake and Jim Lucia will be looked for to come through with relief roles when called upon. This picture shows the Explorers ' mound ace, Jim Covello, warming up before one of La Salle ' s big games. Jim was one of the main reasons why the Haeffnermen went on to become co-champs of the M.A.C. last season. Besides his mound chores, Covello is a pretty fair country hitter, batting an astronomical .442 last season. Before us we have the graduating seniors, a loss which will be greatly feit by the Explorer nine next year. They are: pitcher Herb McLaughlin, first baseman Paul Curcio, third baseman Joe Torrence, left fielder Frank Murdock, right fielder Carl Kolanko, pitcher Jim Covello and pitcher Joe Gallegher. 1 f ■ i I 173 1952 BASEBALL SCHEDULE March Sat. 2V University of Penna Home April Wed. 2 Temple Away Mon. 7 Lafayette Away Sat. 12 St. John ' s Away Wed. 16 Swarthmore Away Fri. 18 St. Joseph ' s Home Mon. 21 Haverford Home Wed. 23 West Chester Away Sat. 26 Lebanon Valley Home Wed. 30 Muhlenberg Home May Sat. 3 St. Joseph ' s Away Wed. 7 West Chester Home Sat. 10 Haverford Away Men. 12 Albright Home Wed. 14 Ursinus Home Sat. 17 Georgetown Away Wed. 21 Scranton Away Sat. 24 Drexel Away These three are looked to this eason to carry the brunt of the scoring attack for the Explorer nine.

They are, I. to r.: Jim Covello, Bill Drake, Tom Lucia, Lou Giffin, Herb McLaugh- lin, Joe Gallegher, and Bill DePace. %ac Coach Wetzler, standing in front of his nnile relay team, tells each nnan his time in completing each individual part of the mile. The boys, John Manning, Fred Geiter, Joe Walker and Joe Fricker, seem pleased with the results. This year ' s Explorer Track Team will have more power and reserve strength than any other Ex- plorer squad that has stamped the cinders for the Blue and Gold. Their early season times have been unbelievably fast — the mile relay team is no doubt one of the best in the East, and for the first time in many years the Explorers will have men who can garner points for them in the field events. Besides this, such outstanding individual perform- ers as Joe Walker and Jim Webb should add more glory to the Wetzlermen. Both are Olympic as- pirants and if they can keep up the work that they nave shown in their early season performances, they are sure to become representatives of the U. S. come this summer. The Explorers, this year, will face the fastest and best competition in the country. They are entered in the Seton hiall Relays, the Penn Relays and the Middle Atlantic Conference Championships at the end of the season. Of these, the Explorers would like most to take home first honors In the Middle Altantic Championship.

The whizzers are Joe Morrison, whose specialty is the 100 and 220, and Joe Friclter, who does his best in the 440 and 880. They are both members of the mile relay team. Joe Walker jogs around the track after completing another one of his famous quarter miles. Joe, who endangers rec- ords every time he runs, is counted upon heavily to make this season the best in school history. Two of Coach F rank Wetzler ' s hurdlers take their practice jumps over the low hurdles as they are in the process of trying to better their times before the season gets under way. The two hurdlers are Tom Patterson and Tom Gallegher. Showing the form that won him the I.C.4A. title, Jim Webb goes over the bar in another perfect high jump. Jim was elected Captain this year by his teammates because of his qualities of leadership and courage. Reasons For 1952 Success Anchor man Joe Fricker comes home in first place to win for La Salle the Middle Atlantic Mile Relay Crown, which it has defended for the past two seasons. The runners were handicapped in their time by mud and driving rain. Other members of the cracic relay team are Fred Geiter, Charlie Peoples, and Joe Walker. Bill Gaynor displays his perfect form as he puts the shot in the meet against St. John ' s. This toss garnered second place for Bill and contributed to La Salle ' s victory margin over the powerful Redmen. ' . ' . ' . M Explorer sprint man Joe Morrison grimaces as he lunges at the tape to win the 100 yard dash in La Salle ' s impressive conquest of St. John ' s. Morrison, running against the wind, won in 10.4 to beat out teammate Turk Maben . The La Salle College Varsity Eight takes time out for a picture as they are in the process of practicing for the Southern Florida Meet. The practice session paid off since the Explorers went on to establish a new mark on the Florida waters. Starting the season in grand fashion, the La Salle College Varsity Crew is destined this year to better its terrific performance of a season ago. Last sea- son the Explorers were crowned champions of small college crews by virtue of winning the Dad Vail Regatta. So far this season, the Explorers have shown tre- mendous power in defeating American Interna- tional, Southern Florida, by a record breaking per- formance, and a terrific upset over highly favored Dartmouth. The victory over Dartmouth has defi- nitely established the Blue and Gold crew as one of the strongest in the East. The success of this year ' s Explorer crew squad is due to the fine work of its new coach, Tom Curran. Under his tutelage, the crew has improved with each of its pre-season practice sessions and with three victories in four starts, great things can be expected before the season comes to a conclusion. Coach Tom Curran, along with Captain Dick O ' Brien, stand on the dock and discuss the coming meet. Their strategy must have been sound because the Explorers ended the meet with a record breaking victc-y. April CREW SCHEDULE Thurs. 3 American International Thurs. Sat. Sat. Sat. May Sat. Sat. Sat.

Al Can+ello Joe Walker MIDDLE ATLANTIC CHAMPIONS DAD VAIL ROWING CHAMPIONS Se(€ca% ' i to i It was a heterogeneous group of hopeful stu- dents who matriculated to the La Salle cannpus nearly four years ago on Septennber 20, 1948, seek- ing the goals of a liberal and Catholic education. Ted Harris was elected president of the National Student Association and Joe Verdeur attained the highest accolade possible in the sports world with an Olympic victory in the 200-meter breaststroke. The enrollment, boosted by the five hundred and twenty members of our incoming class, eclipsed the two thousand mark for the first and only time in the school ' s history. The school ' s facilities and activities Increased in proportion to the enrollment. Benilde hiall with its nine additional classrooms and six offices was dedi- cated a week before our arrival. Also on the con- struction side, over forty thousand dollars was spent on maintenance and repair that summer. The changing of the Collegian from a bi-weekly to a weekly publication, the shifting of the hiarvest Dance off campus to the more accommoda ' ting Broadwood hlotel and the entry of twenty-five teams in the intramural football league were major extra-curricular results of the record-breaking stu- dent body. Sports, politics, and the arts occupied our initial Interest in school affairs during those first indoc- trinating months. Verdeur became the toast of the school when the entire student body gathered in McCarthy Stadium in a gala Welcome t ome celebration. Joe proved his mettle to us early, smashing thirty records that year including his own world record in the breaststroke. Brother G. Thomas, Dean of Freshmen, delivers the speech of welcome at the outset of our first year. Also on stage are Father Gorman, College Chap- lain; Brother G. Paul, President, and Brother E. Stanislaus, Dean. Joe Verdeur is greeted at the Philadelphia Airport greeted by his mother and by Mayor Bernard Samuel after his arrival from London where he won the 200-meter Olympic breaststroke champion- ship. Bill Metzler was elected to the first of his four terms as president prior to the Thanksgiving recess. The other offices were filled by Compton hiarris, vice-president; Thomas Dolan, secretary; and Ed- mund Altleri, treasurer. During the vacation period, the hoopsters of Charley McGlone went on their merry way and ran their undefeated skein to seven before San Francisco, eventual N.I.T. champs, stopped the Explorers. After upsetting N.C.A.A. champion hloly Cross, a large pep rally was held in the auditorium on the eve of the Temple game but to no avail as the Broad Streeters pulled off the biggest local upset of the season to the tune of 54-36. The Owls won out with the aid of a modified zone, a nemesis which cropped up several times before the court season was over. La Salle ' s sports rating failed to drop, however, as Joe Verdeur successfully defended his A.A.U. title and was voted Swimmer of the Year and Larry Foust became the first Philadelphia player to pass the 1 ,000 point mark. hlonorable John J. Sullivan received the Slgnum Fidel Medal from the alumni and Ed Sullivan was chosen for the Collegian ' s first Public Service in Journalism award. The Blue and Gold with Buddy Williams acting as maestro was a big success with over one thou- sand in attendance at the Bellevue-Stratford hlotel. After the Blue and Gold, we forgot about extra- curricular activities, temporarily at least, to prepare for our first fling with final examinations. We went to the Cincinnati Tourney only to be beaten by Cincinnati U., 50-49 in the opening round. A consolation victory over William and Mary boost- ed the final season log to 21-7. As the basketball season ended, the spring sports came to the fore. Two new eight-oared shells, the G. Paul and Emilian J., were christened to inaugu- rate the crew season while the baseball team scored a 4-1 victory over Loyola to open a seventeen game schedule. The Purchase Card System, another function of the N.S.A., was inaugurated. Over thirty local •merchants cooperated by offering discounts rang- ing from five to thirty per cent to the student members. The first local meeting of the National Federa- tion of Catholic College Students was held at St. Joseph ' s College. Brother G. Paul delivered the main address to the three hundred student dele- gates. Ken Loeffler, fresh from the professional Provi- dence Steamrollers and boasting twenty-five years ' experience in basketball, was given a three year contract as basketball coach to succeed Charley McGlone who had succeeded in putting La Salle on the basketball map. Frank Duffy was judged the best debater in the Benjamin Franklin Tournament held the same month. The Theatre combined with the Glee Club to present H.M.S. Pinafore to close out an active program for both groups. The Evening Division, now boasting five hundred students, voted almost unanimously in favor of a representative Student Congress. Brother Paul and Brother Joseph look at the archi- tect ' s drawing of the new library while Phil Knut- len watches from the power shovel prior to be- ginning the excavation work. Members of the Freshnnan Formal Committee lis- ten to Bill Metzler, dance chairman, explain plans for our first social function. Our first year was nearing its end and the fresh formal held at the Cedarbrook Country Club summed up the experiences which were ours and proved to be the most fitting climax io our intro- duction to college life and La Salle. The Podium Society again led off the activities in our second year with a Gaite Parisienne dance. Mr. Donald Masser was appointed plant engi- neer and .plans were announced for the rebuilding of the baseball diamond and the erection of baseball stands. All of these were accomplished before the year was over. Rain ruined the first soccer match In the school ' s history scheduled with Muhlenberg. West Chester drew the honors a week later and tripped the charges of Frank Wiechec by a 6-0 score. Mean- while the cross-country team was losing its first three meets. November and its accompanying Harvest Dance seemed to come fast that year. Clarence Fuhrman and his Orchestra provided the musical strains for the dance which honored Brother E. Felix who re- tired from teaching the year previous. Brother Felix was always willing to lend a helping art brush for any extra-curricular activity. The Theatre made its bow with the world pre- miere of Ambition Should Be Made. The Glee Club was reorganized and Father Wil- liam J. Sailer named as director. The appointment bore fruit quickly as the Glee Club became firmly established after experiencing several ups-and- downs in the previous years of its establishment. The soccermen closed their first year with a rec- ord of three wins, four losses and a tie and high hopes of seeing soccer take on greater importance in succeeding years. The first week of December that year was one long to be remembered. The choir of Xavier Uni- versity entertained the student body with an hour- long recital. The following night, we traveled to the Ashbourne Country Club where we met one hundred and fifty of our classmates on hand for the Soph Cotillion and the music of Bob Fredericks. Ken Loeffler was the only new face as La Salle took the measure of the alumni in the hoop opener. The game was followed by a dance sponsored by the Varsity Club. The soph class began a move for greater student attendance at morning Mass and asked other classes and clubs to follow through. The idea caught on and soon the chapel was filled every morning. The Glee Club opened its first Christmas tour with a concert for the student body and the Gavel participated in fourteen debates in one week at the University of Pittsburgh Tournament. The post-Christmas games again saw the end of the basketball winning streak. UCLA pulled off a 62-57 upset and San Francisco duplicated, the feat of a year before three nights later. The pre-season basketball illusions were ready to burst wide open at this point but the squad rallied to defeat Temple, Western Kentucky and Bowling Green before a week of the new year had passed. Mr. William Brophy, the caretaker who supplied us with so much Irish humor, passed away during the holidays. The gay quips for which he became a tradition on campus were sorely missed during our remaining days. The swimmers, loaded with potential greatness, got off quickly with impressive victories over Penn and Virginia. Joe Verdeur, now in his last year, was again the kingpin. Joe was again unanimous choice for swimmer of the year and placed second in the balloting for the Sullivan Cup, one notch better than the previous year. It was Blue and Gold time again, hloward Lanin and his Orchestra played to the record-breaking crowd. Another cause for joy was the passing of the vet bonus bill. Over 1500 students flooded the book- Miss Joan McCafferty is crowned Queen of Junior Week by Leo Dooley at the Junior Prom which climaxed the weelc. Dooley was chairman of the Prom committee.

The class of ' 52 purchased the flag, which will be handed down from class to class in future years. store to receive applications and have them notar- ized. The basketballers soared to their greatest heights as they walloped North Carolina State in the iatter ' s own backyard by a fifteen point margin — an unprec- edented feat. The Explorers then copped the city title by scoring their second victories over Temple and St. Joe ' s. Toledo halted an impressive winning streak but an N.I.T. bid was early in coming. We were the fourth team picked. Mr. John hiall Pacton of the State Department recounted his experiences with the Communists to the I.R.C. A student council recommendation to set up a St. La Salle Auxiliary for deceased relatives of stu- dents was adopted. The Glee Club quartet made its debut at the Intercollegiate Quartette Tourna- ment. The Theatre presented The Tidings Brought to Mary as its Lenten selection and followed with a one-act play, The Lost Silk hiat, In Chestnut hlill ' s one-act play competition. We scored our first victory in the N.I.T. defeat- ing Arizona, 72-66 and entered the quarter-finals against Duquesne only to lose a heartbreaker, 49- 47, after leading all the way. Bishop J. Carrol McCormIck presided over cere- monies commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the canonization of St. John Baptist de La Salle. Bishop McCormIck also presided over ground- breaking ceremonies for the new library which were held on the same day. The track team, after early losses to powerful Georgetown and Lincoln, upset the dope by taking the Mid-Atlantic crown. The cindermen finished on top of co-favored St. Joe ' s and Lafayette. Jim Webb was a double winner in the championship meet. The victory was the highlight of the sports year, being the first team championship ever won by a La Salle athletic squad. With just one month to go in the year, we held Junior ' Week. The seven days of social activity culminated with the Junior Prom and the most suc- cessful Junior Week since its return to campus after the war. A Booster Day raised funds for a Junior Week Flag which was raised immediately following the Mass on Sunday. Monsignor John E. Boyle opened the week with an address on the missions at the Communion breakfast. An informal dance was held that same evening. Joan McCafferty was selected as Queen of Junior Week and coronation ceremonies were held at the Junior Prom. During the week, a stag, Barn Dance and Baby Diaper Contest were held with particular success. Junior Week failed to close out the year, however, as the Glee Club presented its second annual con- cert and the following week the Theatre presented the highly entertaining Mikado. The baseball team tied for first in the Mid-Atlan- tic championships while the track team lost first laurels to Lafayette. The crew brought home a full- fledged championship with a victory in the Dad Vail Regatta, symbolic of small college supremacy. Frank Conaty was elected Student Council presi- dent in the largest voting ever for that office. Ex- aminations closed the year in early June but most of us returned in mid-June to take the Selective Service Deferment Test. Seniors now, we returned in September to find many changes. Brother Christopher replaced Brother Stanislaus as Dean; the library began to take shape; John Bear Curran was named crew coach; Brother Cyril took over the registration duties of Dr. McCloskey; a government loan paved the way for the construction of dormitories. The Harvest Dance once more officially opened the social season. Tom Darlington, ' 40, was the musical attraction to the seven hundred who at- tended. Members of the English Department inaugurated a series on WFJL-TV ' s University of the Air. A Collegian poll predicted Joseph Clark and cohorts would malce a clean sweep in the Philadelphia elections. The Theatre opened its season with the popular comedy, hiarvey. The Varsity Club began to climb back to its former position of prominence on campus with a social at the Boathouse and the Evening Division held its first stag night. Student Council conducted a successful clothing drive in conjunction with the Philadelphia drive for Clothes for Korea. The Glee Club gave several renditions of the holi- day carols throughout the city along with their annual recital before the student body. Student Council secured 180 pints of blood for the Korean veterans when the Armed Forces Blood- mobile Unit visited the campus on a bleak day in January. Howard Lanin was brought back for our final Blue and Gold Ball at the Bellevue. Red Sm.ith received the annual Collegian award. The basketball team, hitherto beaten only by St. Louis, went into a tailspin with losses to St. Joe, Duquesne and unheralded Youngstown. A later upset to Georgetown apparently knocked us out of the N.I.T. but we received a surprise bid to the tourney prior to walloping a Manhattan five. From this low ebb rose the greatest thrill that most of us have experienced and certainly the great- est that La Salle has had in the field of sports. Despite our underdog role, fifteen hundred trav- eled to New York to the opening and what proved to be the deciding tilt with Seton Hall. From that point on, the spirit of the team and the size of the crowd increased until the N.I.T. championship was ours. The eight days which were needed to complete the tournament were completely dominated by basketball on the campus. Two inspiring rallies were the chief outlets for the over-bubbling en- thusiasm. Reverend Joseph L. King was the retreat master for our Holy Week retreat which was held prior to our Easter hojidays. The Society for the Advancem ent of Management took advantage of the recess to conduct an educa- tional Business Forum on erpployment opportunities. Capitalizing on the success of the Mikado from the year before, the Theatre presented another mu- sical, Watch the Curtain, which enjoyed a suc- cessful five-day run. The Glee Club held its annual concert in May again and Evening Division fostered another suc- cessful Spring Dance. We finished our final exams early and then en- tered into Senior Week, easily the most memorable days of our four years. It was not just the events, a Communion Breakfast, picnic stag and Dinner Dance, that accounted for this feeling, although each was a success in itself and a credit to President Bill Metzler and his assistants, who conducted and planned our many social get-togethers. Rather, the constant realization that this was our final week of college, and for many, of school en- tirely, brought back the thoughts of our triumphs and failures and with them both joy and sadness. But joy was easily the foremost emotion within us. Not one of us could leave that week without knowing and believing that we were better — better scholars, better men, better citizens and better Christians — none of us could leave without the joy of fulfillment that we had attained in these four years and were now ready to give satisfaction to our- selves, our families, our friends and to the world.

Studea t ouf€cil Organized by such stalwarts as Hugh Carroll, its first president, and continuing to perfection through the efforts of its present officers headed by John Quinlan, the Student Congress can be justifiably proud of its record. Few organizations can boast of the rapid progress which the Student Congress has made since its inception. From all indica- tions it would seem that the heights of achievement have been reached with the present administration, however, the under- graduates in the succeeding years will probably surpass the achievements of this group as the records urge them on to greater undertakings.

This was clearly indi- cated to the officials of the Evening Divi- sion and thus in September 1951, the Eve- ning staff of the Collegian came into being. Beginning with a few columns, the division soon graduated to its own page entitled La Salle After Dark. The Collegian staff of the Evening Division can be justi- fiably proud of the tremendously success- ful job they have accomplished in provid- ing a channel for dissemination of all news to the students.

' P imc ci6 One of the newest organizations on the Evening Division campus is the French Club. Its formal title, however, is Les Chevaliers de La Salle. In its short history the club has increased its membership to approximately twenty-five from a beginning of nine members. Dr. John A. Guischard, Moder- ator, founded the group and has encouraged its continued growth. Throughout the college grounds it has promoted and advanced French culture. It has done this by sponsoring trips to various f laces of interest in the city tha- ave some degree of French artis- tic design in their surroundings. The new year should see an even better program advanced by this group to aid it in its promotion of French culture.

All indica- tions predict that this group will progress to greater honors in the not too distant future. JOHN A. Dl MASCIO Treasurer ALBERT PETERS Vice President Among the many organizations which had their beginning in the school year 1950-51, the Account- ing Association stands out as an example of the desire of the Eve- ning student to participate in extra-curricular activities. The as- sociation was organized for keep- ing the members of the Account- ing classes posted on current news and modern practices in the field of Accounting. Its past undertak- ings and future plans are a dicatlve of a successful group and the charter members deserve much praise for their untiring effort to continue up the ladder of success. m Organized in the fall term of the school year 1951-52, S.A.M. has fulfilled the need for an organ- ization which will provide the an- swers to many problems which our future alumni will meet in their path to becoming successful busi- ness men.
