Coach Paul Westhead's having a very good year' by the in This past season La Salle registered 18 victories, a win-total topped by only three other Explorer teams in the past 15 years. La Salle's ultimate quest for the Middle Atlantic Conference title fell short by only five points, a 76-71 loss to St. Joseph's. They missed the coveted Big Five championship by four points, an 84-82 defeat by Penn, and a 75-73 loss to St. Joe's. The Explorers lost at Western Kentucky and Duquesne, but so did Providence, the East's best team. La Salle did finish a strong third St. Petersburg, Florida's Big A sampling of Western Kentucky, Sun in both New York's ECAC Holiday Festival and Invitational. '73-74 victims is impressive! Rutgers, Stanford, Princeton, Niagara, Holy Cross, American, Temple and Villanova were each their defeated by the Explorers. And in the process, La Salle's Bill Taylor emerged as one of the East's premiere players. The 6-5 junior from Tuskegee, Alabama, notched 551 points this year, the eighth best single season-total in Explorer history. Taylor's 19.7 ppg. scoring average was the highest in both the MAC and the Big Five. 'B.T.' was over 20 points on 11 different occasions, highlighted by a 39 point explosion vs. American University, when he canned 18 of 22 field goal attempts. In other outstanding efforts, Taylor scored 28 points vs. St. Joseph's and Lafayette, 27 points vs. Wake Forest, 26 points vs. Holy Cross, and 25 points vs. Notre Dame and Princeton. The debut of Philadelphia's 6-10 soph Joe Bryant proved to be almost as explosive. 'J.B.' scored 486 points and pulled down 282 rebounds in a rookie performance topped by only one previous La Salle player (Tom Gola had 504 points and 497 rebounds as a frosh in '51-52). Bryant's 18.7 ppg. gave him second place and his 10.8 rpg. showing off the boards second best. in the Big Five and MAC scoring races, the Big Five and was the MAC's led Joe's high '73-74 outputs were 37 points against Rider and in the MAC playoffs. 17 rebounds against Delaware Bryant on the frontline was 6-6 senior Joe DiCocco, a hardnosed boardman from Upper Darby, Pa., who started all 78 games in his varsity career. Joe's three year totals of 847 points and 741 rebounds attest to his steady and solid play. For '73-74, he averaged 10.5 ppg. and 9.4 rpg., with best efforts of 21 points vs. Stanford, and 16 rebounds vs. Syracuse. Joining Taylor and The Explorer backcourt featured all kinds of depth. While sophomores Glenn Collier and Charlie Wise got the starting nods, seniors Steve Baruffi and Frank Moffatt saw plenty of action. The 6-2 Collier from Philadelphia emerged as a smooth playmaker with a soft touch, averaging 7.3 ppg., passing off for 97 assists and hitting a career-high 18 points vs. Lafayette. Known for his defensive prowess, 6 'Sweet Charlie' Wise from Cape May, New was the eighth best scorer in the Big Five with 11.9 ppg., and finished second assists with 110. Wise got a career high 19 points vs. Stanford, Western Kentucky Jersey, in and Delaware. 1 flash from Vineland, New Jersey, proved to be a regularly spectacular a solid 5.8 ppg. off the bench throughout 1973 74. Called upon the absence of the injured Joe Bryant, Steve burned American University with a first class 20 point outburst. Baruffi, a 6 sixth to man, adding start in Moffatt, the 5 10 mighty mite' from Cherry Hill, New Jersey, was the proof posi that the little man still has a place in collegiate basketball. Frank frequently gave Wise and Collier a breather, running the attack with precision and cleverness, and throwing the key pass. Moffatt averaged 3.1 ppg., topped by 11 points vs. Notre Dame, and fed 48 assists in his spot duty five And the list of contributors goes on! Seniors Frank Cat' Doyle and Joe Rabbi' Rapczynski, honored by the Philadelphia sportswriters as La Salle's unsung heroes', junior Kevin McBain, sophomore Varick Cutler, and freshmen Donn Wilber and Barry Brodzinski, added time and talent to the success of the Explorer unit In summation, 1973-74 La Salle basketball was exciting, competitive and repre sentative It was not a very good year', because the Explorers did not win the NCAA berth!

In 1929, having outgrown three previous Philadelphia locations, the at 20th and Olney Avenue in the campus was moved to its present site East Germantown section of the city. Since 1945, La Salle has experienced dramatic growth. Before the closing days of the war, the college had an enrollment of less than 500 attending classes in plant facilities valued at only $1.5 million. Today, 6300 day and evening division students attend classes on La Salle's 40-acre campus, appraised at $30 million. Olney Hall, a $4.4 million, 100,000-square-foot complex opened in September, 1971, contains 39 classrooms, 15 student seminar and study rooms, and 107 faculty offices as well as such special-purpose areas as a planetarium, an amphitheatre, language laboratories and audio-visual rooms. It houses the liberal arts area departments of English, Education, History, Languages, Political Science and Sociology. HAYMAN 60 HALL Hayman Hall, the college's new $4 million physical recreation center which opened this past September, contains the Joseph Kirk Memorial Natatorium with separate swimming and diving facilities, an underwater observation deck, and seats for 1700 spectators. Three regulation-size basketball courts, a one-twelfth mile indoor suspended track, and areas for fencing, wrestling, squash, handball, gymnastics and general exercise are the other features of the complex. Ten modern residence halls accommodate 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, ball- room and other student facilities. The $2.5 million Holroyd Science Center, opened in 1960, houses lecture rooms and laboratories for study and research in Biology, Chemistry, Geology, Physics and Psychology. The David Leo Lawrence Memorial Library, built in 1952, contains 175,000 volumes and periodical files for some 700 journals, and a library annex in the former Wister Hall gymnasium opened last year, increasing library space by 50%. The Army ROTC program, initiated in 1950, is available to freshmen, who may apply for ROTC scholarships for advance studies. La Salle's day and evening divisions offer degree programs in Arts and Sciences and Business Administration. The 350-member faculty is composed of Christian Brothers, priests and lay professors. The college has been co-educational in the evening division since February, 1967 and in its day school since September, 1970. Students at La Salle come from some 200 public and private schools in 21 States, most of them located in the northeastern part of the United States. Fourteen countries are also represented in the student body. Over 75 per cent of them plan graduate work and about 1.000 degrees are conferred annually on day and evening division seniors.
