Coach
(Tom) Gola, everybody's All American who led La Salle's
to its greatest heights in the mid-1950s, makes his
team
collegiate coaching debut at his alma mater during the 1968-69 season.
For the 35-year-old Gola, who has established himself as a genuine
Philadelphia folk hero, it is expected to be another niche in a brilliant
career that has included stardom in the National Basketball Association,
success as a Pennsylvania State legislator and a sound insurance and
real estate business in nearby Fort Washington, Pa.
Perhaps the finest all-around schoolboy star in Philadelphia's history,
Gola scored 2,222 points at La Salle High under coach Charlie (O'Bie)
O'Brien, who called him "the greatest player since the end of the
center jump." He was everybody's All American three years at La Salle
College under coach Ken Loeffler. He helped lead the Explorers to the

1954 and the NCAA runnerup slot to San Francisco and Bill
1955. La Salle won 102 games and lost only 19 during Tom's
in
career.
Gola's collegiate scoring and rebounding feats as an Explorer will
probably never be surpassed. He finished with 2,461 points (20.8 ppg.)
and 2,201 rebounds and grabbed just about every honor available at
some point or another during his brilliant 121 game career that has
gone down in La Salle's history as the Glorious Gola era.
As a freshman, Tom was co-MVP of the NIT with teammate Norm

All American honorable mention at
end, and when he came to La Salle
in 1930 he was named line coach,
then head coach in 1940 and 1941. In 1961 he was president of the
Eastern Intercollegiate Football Officials Association, and he officiated
many of the nation's top grid contests for some 25 years before
retiring after the 1964 Army-Navy Game.
Football, however, is only part of the story of Jim Henry, for he is a
man devoted not merely to a single sport, but to athletics and what
college athletics stand for. In his 38 years at La Salle— 34 of which
have been spent as Athletic Director— he has given of his time and
energy equally for all sports. He coached the 1931 Explorer basketball
team to a 15-4 record and helped organize La Salle's crew, the first
Catholic College crew in the nation. A total of nine varsity sports bring
national recognition to the college through his guidance.
Mr. Henry has served on many committees including the Eligibility
Committee of the Middle Atlantic Conference and Holiday Tournament
Selection Committee of the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference. He
is
also vice president of the Pennsylvania Hall of Fame, Maxwell
Memorial Football Club and the Middle Atlantic States Collegiate
Athletic Conference.
A Professor of Finance on La Salle's faculty, Henry received the
honorary degree of doctor of law from the college in 1955. He and his
wife have three adult children.

CURTIS

FROMAL
Freshman Basketball Coach
Curt Fromal, leading scorer on La
1964-65 NIT basketteam, was appointed freshman
basketball coach and varsity assistant coach of the Explorers, in August.
Fromal replaces Bill Wilson, who
resigned to become head basketball
coach and a member of the faculty
at Lourdes Central Catholic High
School, Cleveland.
Fromal, a peppery 5-9 playmaker,
scored 411 points and made the
UPI "Little" All America first team his senior year as the Explorers
gained an NIT berth against Detroit and finished with a 15-7 record
under coach Bob Walters.
Curt also made the Big Five and Middle Atlantic Conference first
teams. He is perhaps best remembered for his fantastic second half
performance against arch-rival St. Joseph's, in 1965, when he scored
a career high of 34 points and helped bring the Explorers back from a
20 point deficit to a near-upset of the third-ranked Hawks.
Fromal, 27, has been teaching in the Chichester School District the
past two years. The former Ridley Township High star is a resident of

LAFAYETTE COLLEGE
Wednesday, February
5,
8:00 P.M. (EST), at Easton, Pa.
SERIES RECORD:
LA SALLE 17, LAFAYETTE 5
OUTLOOK: Leopards lost ten games by six
points or less, last year; figure to be much
better since only 6-5 Bob Clements has graduated. 6-6 Ken Skillman, 6-2 Mike Miller and
6-2 Bob Waller, all starters for second half of
season, should form nucleus. Guards George
Lefkowski and Vic Caola are experienced. 6-5
center Bob Cole played well at times. 6-5 Ron
Moyer (19.4 ppg. for frosh) appears to be best
newcomer; 6-8 soph Ed Skuchas also could help.

Melchionni and George May. 6-8 Howard Porter,

in history, should give team a big lift offensively. Guards Joe Walters and John Fox and
forwards Hal Watson and Clarence Smith add
depth.

DUQUESNE
OUTLOOK: 6-9 Gary Major, 6-8 Phil Washington
(13.4 ppg.), 6-4 Moe Barr (15.2) and 6-2 Billy
Zopf, (13.8) return as starters. 6-10 twins Garry
and Barry Nelson, 6-5 Jarrett Durham and
guards Steve McHugh and Tim Bradley come up
from unbeaten freshman team, so Dukes should
be even stronger, especially in the height department. Graduated were leading scorer Ron
Guziak and "sixth man" Rich Carlberg (20 and
17
vs.
LSC, respectively,
last
year).

SERIES RECORD:
DETROIT 1, LA SALLE
OUTLOOK: The addition of 6-8 U.S. Olympic
team star center Spencer Haywood, a transfer
from Trinidad JC, should make the Titans much
stronger. 6-8 Al Peake heads a banner crop of
sophomores who will add speed and depth.
The team lost top scorer Bruce Rowdan among
eight graduated seniors, but veterans like 6-6
Jerry Swartzfager and 6-4 Vyto Abramavicius
should have good years.

REVIEW
La Salle's 1967-68 Explorers finished with the school's best record
(20-8) and first NCAA Tournament team in 13 years, thanks to a devastating fast-break, a vastly-improved defense and fine all-around play of
high-scoring forward Larry Cannon.
The Middle Atlantic Conference champions finished the season by
losing to Columbia, 83-69, in the first round of the NCAA at College
Park, Md. But La Salle still had its best record since the glory days of
Tom
Gola when the Explorers won the NCAA title in 1954 and finished
runnerup to San Francisco the following year with a 26-5 mark.
"This club ran the fast-break as well as anyone I've ever seen," said
Coach Jim Harding. "I was proud of them. They never gave up."
Besides adapting remarkably to Harding's single-post offense, the
Explorers improved almost 13 points a game on defense compared to
1966-67. La Salle's 68.7 ppg. allowed was the school's best defensive
showing since Ken Loeffler's great 1954-55 club allowed only 63.7 ppg.
Cannon, who was elected the club's "Most Valuable Player" by his
teammates at the end of the season, led the Explorers in scoring (19.5
ppg.) and assists (134) and finished second in rebounds (278). The 6-5
junior scored 546 points, the sixth highest single-season total in La
Salle's
history.

highs for the year with 32 points against Creighton and 20

a 6-0 transfer from Dodge City (Kans.) Jr. College, finished

by hitting 37 of 52 field goal attempts (71.2%).
The Explorers had winning streaks
of six and five games and never lost
more than two in a row during the
year. Impressive victories came over
Temple and Syracuse (twice each),
West Virginia, St. Joseph's, North
Carolina State, Miami (Fla.), Morehead State and Duquesne, among
others. La Salle won for the first
time in Miami in six years and first
time in Pittsburgh in eight years.
Cannon made the Middle Atlantic Conference and Big Five All Star
teams and was named co-MVP of the MAC as well as being named to
three weekly ECAC All East squads, the Boston Garden All Tourney
team and All State squad. Williams was named to the MAC squad,
received one weekly ECAC award and also made the ECAC Holiday
Festival team.
Cannon and Ervin were also elected official 1967-68 co-captains by
their Explorer teammates at the end of the season. La Salle used
game captains during the campaign.

THE LA SALLE
STORY
La Salle College celebrated its Centennial Year in 1963 and now is
well into its second century of service to higher education and the
community of Philadelphia.
The College was founded March 20, 1863 by the Brothers
Christian Schools and derives its
name from
of
the
the founder of the Christian
Brothers, St. John Baptist de La Salle. By 1929, having outgrown three
previous locations in Philadelphia, the campus was moved to its present
site at 20th st. and Olney ave., in the East Germantown section
The Evening Division was inaugurated in 1946 in response
to the needs of industry throughout the metropolitan area.
Since 1945, La Salle has experienced the most dramatic period of
expansion in its history. Present enrollment in both Day and Evening
Divisions is over 6,400 students as compared to the 1940 enrollment of
about 400. In the last 16 years, twelve new buildings have been added
to the campus. Both the Day and Evening Divisions offer degree programs in Arts and Sciences and Business Administration.
Eight modern residence halls accommodate over 800 out of town
students. A $2 million, three story College Union Building, completed
in 1959, includes a Little Theatre as well as dining halls, assembly
rooms, ballroom and other student facilities. The $2.5 million Science
Center, which houses modern lecture rooms and laboratory facilities for
study and research in Biology, Chemistry, Geology, Physics and Psychology opened in 1960. New dormitories to accommodate 200 students
opened last year. Under construction are an athletic activities
building and a new classroom building.
Additional educational areas are located on a 52 acre campus in
Elkins Park and on an 80 acre area in Springfield Township. The Army
30 acre
of the city.
Artillery
ROTC program was
initiated
in
1950 and now numbers more
than 1,000 cadets.
