THE 1962-63 SEASON Athletics Staff James J. Henry Director of Athletics It might be considered somewhat ironic that James J. Henry should be Director of Athletics at La Salle College, a school that has not had a football team since 1941, for football has played a great part in Jim ^^^M ^^^^ I & ^H I ^H ^B ^H I ^^^M MR ^^^^m jSjtt Henry's life. Before being graduated from Villanova in 1930, Henry received Ail-American honorable mention as an end, and when he came to La Salle in 1930, he was soon named line coach, then head football coach in 1940 and 1941. In 1961 he was the president of the Eastern Intercollegiate Football Officials Association, an<j s |j|| officiates many of the nation's top Navy-Notre Dame, Princeton-Harvard, Army-Navy. Football, however, is only part of the story of Jim Henry, for he is a man devoted not merely to a single sport, but to athletics and what college athletics stand for. In his 32 years at La Salle, he has given of his time and energy equally for all sports; he coached the 1931 Explorer basketball team to a 15-4 record and started grid contests, i.e., La Salle's crew, the first Catholic college crew in the nation.

PROSPECTS FOR THE SEASON By Coach Dudey Moore Seldom has a college basketball team had more quesmarks than my predominantly young 1962-63 Explorer squad. The condition of co-captain Billy Raftery, the development of our untested sophomores, and the improvement shown by our veteran starters, will all determine La tion Salle's success this season. Of course, the major "if" concerns Raftery, the fine 6-4 guard who had a real good sophomore year (17.8 average) and then was sidelined last season after undergoing a back operation. At the present time, it remains to be seen whether Billy's back is strong enough to withstand the punishment of a full season. He is such a fine all-around player, that his physical condition definitely holds the key to the situation. look for our three veteran starters, guard and cocaptain Tony Abbott, forward Frank Corace and 6-8 center Walt Sampson, to become more consistent and take up the scoring slack left by the graduation of guard Bob McAteer, who led the team in scoring with 543 points. Abbott did a good job in Raftery's back-court spot last year, developing into a real sparkplug. I With added experience and confidence, Corace should be one of our chief offensive threats as well as a dependable rebounder. He was second in both departments a year ago, averaging over 15 points a game. Sampson came along well toward the end of last season ana we are hoping that he can pick up where he left off, especially in the rebounding department. our inexperienced sophomores, who comprise over half the squad. Either 6-7 center George Sutor or 6-4 forward Al Tezsla may move into the starting lineup. Sutor could develop into a real good collegiate performer with experience. Tezsla is exceptionally strong under the boards, but needs a little more work on his shooting. Guards Joe Cunnane and John Hart will, probably, be our chief backcourt reserves, and one of them could start if anything happens to Abbott or Raftery. Cunnane didn't score too much as a freshman, but possibly has more potential than any of our young guards. Much depends on Other reserves include forwards Harry Carpenter, Gene Jim Flavin and Joe Lynch and guards Paul Gallagher and Tim Daly. Carpenter has been a pleasant surprise so Park, especially with his rebounding. Park, a senior, hustles every minute and can get that ball for you frequently. far, summary, the sophomores should give us a little more more rebounding strength. But we must improve our defense and become more consistent before any major success can be achieved. In height, a stronger bench and 6 Meet The {*) ANTHONY A.

Possessor of the coolest head and hottest hand on any court when he's physically fit, Bill hopes to write Philadelphia's "Comeback Story of the Year" this season. His basketball career (and La Salle's tourney hopes) suffered a cruel setback last year when he painfully hobbled through four early games before undergoing a serious operation to remove a ruptured disc in his back. Touted as another Tom Gola before he ever played a varsity game, Bill's initial season was a slight "disappointment" to some people, despite the fact that he did everything well and took team scoring honors with 392 points and a 17.8 average. Only Gola did better for a sophomore at La Salle. Equally adept anywhere on the court, Bill's value cannot be measured by statistics alone. He is the ideal team player whose "steadying" influence on teammates is immeasurable. His collegiate high is 31 points scored against Muhlenberg two years ago. Last season, his best was 10 in less than a half of action against Niagara. Everyone's Scholastic All American choice at St. Cecelia's High, Bill broke three New Jersey Schoolboy scoring marks.
