TeQY
O'Connor
Head Coach
Hometown: Hyde Park, N.Y.
Date of Birth: April 27, 194 7
Alma Mater: Niagara, 1969
Season: Third
In accessing the Fairfield fortunes
for the upcoming season, one pre­season
magazine called it "The four
freshmen, second year."
Actually there are six freshmen,
but the point is well taken. Fairfield
goes into the 1983-84 season with
another strong freshman class, Terry
O'Connor's second outstanding re­cruiting
effort. That is two-for-two
for the 36-year-old O'Connor, who
is well on his way to molding his own
team at Fairfield.
O'Connor, who is in his third sea­son
with the Stags, now has 10 of his
own recruits among the 13 players
on the Fairfield roster.
The results in O'Connor's first two
seasons are encouraging, especially
the 1982-83 season when O'Connor's
first recruiting class contributed
enormously. Four new players were
introduced to the program, two be­came
starters (Tony George and Pat
Verina) and the other two became
the first two players off the bench
(Tim O'Toole and Jay Byrne.)
O'Connor got theStagsofftotheir
best start in ten years when they
won their first four games, including
an always cherished victory over the
University of Connecticut.
At one point, O'Connor had the
Stags ranked second to Boston Col­lege
in New England and also receiv­ing
votes in the Widmer Poll of east­ern
college teams.
The Stags, however, finished with
a 13-15 mark after a February slump.
But with a few breaks in the closing
month of the season, when the team
dropped three games in overtime, a
.500 record or better was well within
reach.
O'Connor saw lack of depth as the
main reason for the late season
slump, a problem only solved by
more recruiting.
So the staff went out and brought
in six new players. All will help, with
the chances of having two more
freshmen in the starting lineup a defi­nite
possibility.
Since his first day as head coach
at Fairfield, O'Connor promised an
expanded recruiting effort. He has
kept that promise. Last year's fresh­man
class had players from Califor­nia
and Ohio. This year's freshman
class has another California recruit,
two from Wisconsin and one from
Illinois.
The new players, and O'Connor's
personal enthusiasm, have rekindled
the basketball spirit at Fairfield.
Student support is as strong as ever
and the Stag Booster Club is operat­ing
at a pace surpassing even the
Fairfield NIT years.
O'Connor, the seventh basketball
coach in the Stags' 35-year history.
is a 1969 Niagara University gradu­ate.
He earned his MS in physical
education from Syracuse University
in 1971 and it was while a graduate
student that O'Connor launched his
coaching career.
While a grad student, O'Connor
coached both the freshman and later
the junior varsity teams at Bishop
Grimes High School in Syr.acuse. In
1972 he became the head coach at
Phoenix (NY) Central High School,
leading the team to a 20-1 record
and the Oswego County League and
playoff titles. He was named the
league's Coach of the Year.
The following season he took over
as the head coach at Cayuga County
Community College in Auburn, N.Y.
O'Connor served in that capacity for
five years. After a 5-17 record his
first year, the team improved to 14-9
his second year and then to 18-7 his
third season. That year, and for the
next two years, Cayuga went to the
NJCAA regional tournament.
In 1977. O'Connor was named the
assistant coach at Harvard U niver­sity.
At Harvard he joined the staff of
Frank Mclaughlin and he spent four
seasons with the Crimson program.
During that time, Harvard enjoyed
some of its finest basketball ever.
The 1980-81 season, O'Connor's last
at Harvard, produced a 16-win sea­son.
the most wins for a Harvard
team since the mid 1940's.
O'Connor also has some inter­national
coaching experience. He
directed the Jamaican National
Basketball team in 197 4 and then the
following year he took his Cayuga
team on a tour of Jamaica.
While at Harvard, O'Connor toured
with the team on a trip to China,
including a game in Peking.

... Coaching Staff
ED JANKA Assistant Coach
The number one man on Terry O'Connor's staff, Ed Janka has been involved in college
basketball coaching for 15 years.
The Chicago native, a loyal Cub fan, played college basketball at Marquette under
legendary coach AI McGuire. As a senior. Janka worked for McGuire as an assistant coach.
That was during the 1968 season and the Warriors came up with a record of 23-6 and were
ranked in the top ten in both wire service polls.
After graduation from Marquette in 1968, Janka began coaching on the high school level.
After two years as the head coach at Weber High School in Chicago, Janka returned to
Marquette as an assistant to McGuire for the 1972-73 season. That was also a good one for the Warriors as the
team went 25-4 and were ranked among the nation's top five.
Janka got the head coaching position at John Carroll University in 1973, and in 1977 he left to coach in the
Italian pro league. He returned for a one-year stint at Oberlin before coming to Fairfield with O'Connor in 1981.
JOE DeSANTIS Assistant Coach
One of the greatest players in Fairfield basketball history, Joe DeSantis is now in his
second season as a full-time assistant coach.
Joe came to Fairfield from Tolentine High School in the Bronx and made an immediate
impact on the program. He averaged better than 16 points a game as a freshman, tops in
New England and was named the UPI Rookie of the Year.
By his senior season he was a first team All-East, AII-ECAC and honorable mention
All-America. During his senior year DeSantis was named the MVP in three tournaments. He ,
walked off with that honor in the New Orleans Classic, the Providence Industrial National
Classic and the Boys' Club Classic at Fairfield.
DeSantis holds five Stag scoring records. He is the school's all time leading scorer with 1 ,916 points in addition
to holding the career record for field goals and field goal attempts.
Joe was one of the top foul shooters in the nation as a junior when he made 116 of 130 for a .892 percentage, a
Fairfield single season record. He also holds the career free throw-percentage record of .849.
DeSantis was a second round pick in the 1979 NBA draft by the Washington Bullets. He passed up the NBA
camp and played professional basketball in Italy after graduation. He later played a season in the Continental
League before joining the Stag coaching staff.
JI.MKISH Part-time Assistant Coach
As a part- time coach, Jim Kish lends very valuable assistance in practices and games. He
spends a lot of time after practice has officially ended, working with individual players on
special problem areas.
Coach Kish, who is the Supervisor of Physical Education in the City of Bridgeport school
system, had a remarkable record as a high school coach.
He directed the Harding High School team for ten seasons and closed his career with a
record of 174-48. His Harding team twice claimed the Connecticut State championship and
two other times reached the finals before losing. Over his last six seasons as head coach,
Harding posted a record of 123-23, a winning percentage of .848.
Two former players are now in the NBA. Wes Mathews is a member of the San Diego Clippers and John Bagley
plays for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Kish, a 1957 graduate of the University of Bridgeport, is now in his sixth year with the Fairfield basketball
progam.
RON ROSS Graduate Assistant
Ron Ross is a graduate student in education at Fairfield and a part-time basketball coach.
A native of Dennison, Ohio, Ross is a substituted teacher in the Bridgeport Public School
System. He was a scholastic cage standout at Tuscarawas Central Catholic High School
and played a year of varsity basketball at Lehigh.
He later transferred to and graduated from Dayton in 1980.
After graduation, Ross returned to Central Catholic as the junior varsity and assistant
varsity basketball coach before joining the Fairfield staff as a grad assistant in 1982.
L
C. Donald Cook
Athletic Director
Don Cook, the athletic director at Fairfield since
1971 , oversees the university's 12 intercollegiate
sports as well as the intramural programs and gen­eral
recreational activities of the Fairfield student
body.
The42-year-old native of Mount Vernon, N.Y. has
guided Fairfie•d's athletic program through a period
of growth that has seen the women's softball and
men's swimming teams become the most recent
additions to the intercollegiate ranks. There are
currently four women's intercollegiate sports. In
addition to softball, Fairfield fields varsity teams in
women's basketball, field hockey and tennis.
Men's varsity sports are basketball, baseball,
hockey, soccer, golf, tennis, cross country and
swimming.
The physical development of the facilities at Fair­field
has also been a major concern of the athletic
director. Among the projects Cook has supervised
are the renovation of Alumni Hall, home to Fairfield
basketball, the construction of the multipurpose
recreation complex (dedicated in 1979) and the
rebuilding of the baseball field, now one of the finest
collegiate facilities in the northeast.
Cook, a 1963 graduate of Fairfield, was recently
named to the Fairfield University Athletic Hall of
Fame. Cook was cited for his accomplishments as a
player, a coach, and an administrator.
Cook was one of the founders of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, and served as the
first president. Later he served as chairman of the expansion committee that last year added La
Salle and Holy Cross to the original group of six. Now Cook is the chairman of the MAAC
executive committee.
Within the ECAC, Cook has served in many capacities. He has worked on many tournament
selection committees, both in basketball and baseball. He is a past chairman of the ECAC
Baseball Committee, which designed selection procedures for post season tournaments. Cook
is also the ECAC representative to the U.S. Baseball Federation and president of the executive
committee of the ECAC baseball umpires bureau. Cook is now in his fourth season on the
ECAC eligibility committee.
Cook also finds time to be the head coach of the Fairfield baseball team, a post he has held for
17 seasons.
Annually playing one of the toughest schedules among Division I teams in the northeast,
Cook has directed the Stags to four ECAC post season regional playoffs in the last seven years.
A total of 11 former players have gone on to play professional baseball and last summer Cook
delighted in seeing one former player, Keefe Cato, reach the major leagues. Cato worked his
way through the Cincinnati chain and earned a spot in the majors last summer.
Cook enrolled at Fairfield as an undergraduate in 1959. He was a catcher on the baseball team
forth ree seasons. He was an AII-ECAC pick in 1962 and was the team's co-captain as a senior.
Cook won Fairfield's Senior Athlete Award.
He received a bachelor's degree in economics in 1963, a master's degree in guidance and
counseling in 1967 and, in 1977, an MA in communications from the university's Graduate
School of Corporate and Political Communications.
Don and wife Donna live in Fairfield. The couple have two children, Chris, 18, and Courtney, 12. 7

ALUMNI
HALL
Home for Fa.rfield
University basketball is
Alumni Hall, a 3.022-
seat facility near the
center of the Fairfie ld
campus. The building
opened in the late SO's
as a 1500-seat gym and
prior to the 1972-73
season the building was
renovated and I he seat­ing
improved to its
current capacity.
The Stags have tradi­tionally
been tough to
beat in their own build­ing.
The Stags were 8-
4 at home last year and
three of those four
losses were 1n overtime.
Since 1972 Fairfield is
119-33 at home and
during the 1976-77 sea­son
the team was a
perfect 13-0 at Alumni
Hall. Dunng the 1977-
78 season the Stags
were 17-1 at home.
At one po1nt during
that season the Stags
had a 26-game home
court w1nn1ng streak
going. which was at
the time the longest in
the country.
Recreatior:t Complex
Sports are so popular at Fairfield
that, in addition to its gymnasium,
the University has erected a new
Recreational Complex which is used
primarily for recreation and physical
conditioning as well as for competi­tive
sports. This facility features
a 25-meter swimming pool, weight
rooms, an indoor jogging area, and
four courts that can be used inter­changeably
for badminton, basket­ball,
tennis, and volleyball. There
are also racquetball courts, a multi­purpose
room, saunas, a whirlpool,
and locker rooms.
The intramural program, which is
operated by the Recplex staff, offers
a wide variety of individual and team
sports. Students, staff and alumni
take part in activities ranging from
tennis, racquetball, golf and jogging
to flag football, volleyball, softball,
basketball and water polo. Leagues
are organized to accommodate the
needs of both the highly competitive
and recreational player.

Looking Back At 1982-83
Young Stags Fall Short of .500 Season
The Stags got out of the gate
quickly in 1982, winning their first
four games, the best start by a Fai r­field
team in ten years. Included in
that four-game stretch was a 98-81
victory over the University of Con­necticut,
the first win over UConn
since the 1977-78 season.
By mid season the Stags were still
standing at 10-5, having overcome a
stretch of that saw Fairf ield on the
roadfornineof11 games in December
and early January. In New England,
only Boston College was ranked
higher by the UPI coaches poll.
This remarkable start for coach
Terry O'Connor and company came
with just one senior on the team and
two freshmen in the start ing lineup
since opening day.
As the season wore on, however,
the Stags' lack of depth became a
serious problem. Not only in terms
of the season, but in individual games
as well.
In the first half of the season, Fair­field
played in and won three over­time
games. Over the second half of
the season, the Stags were in three
more overtime contests, but lost all
three, all at home, and all in the
conference.
An overtime loss to St. Peter's by
the score of 69-661aunched a seven­game
losing streak and dropped the
Stags from 12-6 to 12-13.
The season ended in the opening
round of the MAAC playoffs. But the
Stags did not go down without a
fight, battling the Peacocks of St.
Peter's down to the wire before bow­ing,
70-67.
There were several stars for the
Stags a year ago, the brightest being
Pete DeBisschop, the team captain
and its only senior.
Pete DeBisschop goes up for an
easy basket.
DeBisschop was later drafted in
the fifth round by the Seattle Super­Sonics
and played very well in the
NBA exhibition season in an effort
to become the first Fai rfield eager to
earn a spot on an NBA roster.
The 6-foot-11 native of Cheshire,
who earned his degree in econom­ics
last spring, was named for many
honors after his senior season. Pete
was picked by the U.S. Basketball
Writers as a first team District I All­America,
he was an All-East selec­tion
by Basketball Weekly, an All­Metro
Atlantic Athletic Conference
pick for the second year in a row.
a second team All-Met New York by
the Met Basketball Writers, and an
honorable mention AP All-America.
Pete had an outstanding year sta­tistically,
getting 19.4 points and 8.5
rebounds a game and shooting .627
from the floor. He finished the sea­son
as the seventh all-time leading
scorer at Fairfield. In 110 games he
scored 1 ,219 points with a career
field goal percentage of .578.
Other players had their sh ining
moments as well. Jerry Johnson,
this year's captain, led the team in
scoring four times, highlighted by a
22-point, 14-rebound effort in a loss
at Navy.
Tony George and Pat Yerina
stepped into the starting lineup on
opening day and remained starters
for the entire season. George had
some remarkable games, including
a 31-point effort against St. Joseph's,
setting a record for points scored by
a freshman in a varsity game. Yerina
had a team high 22 against Maine.
Also, freshmen Tim O'Toole and
Jay Byrne became the first two play­ers
off the bench and provided some
excellent backup help for Coach
O'Connor.
For a club with just one senior, the
final record of 13-15, along with a
fine recruiting year, made a promise
of better things to come.
11
Outlook for 1983-84 Season
If depth was the problem a year
ago, Coach O'Connor and staff have
taken the steps to solve that prob­lem.
There are six newcomers to the
Fairfield lineup for the 1983-84 sea­son,
a couple of whom could earn
spots in the starting lineup on Nov.
25 when the Stags face Western
Michigan at Michigan State's Tour­nament.
Others could provide the
bench strength needed to compete
on the difficult Fairfield schedule.
Those six newcomers will join a
solid core of veterans, including three
returning starters and three key
reserves.
Still, with just two seniors and one
junior on the roster. the Stags are a
young club, but one which could
develop quickly and prove to be a
difficult foe for its Metro Atlant ic
Athletic Conference opponents.
The starters who are gone are
center Pete DeBisschop, a fifth round
draft pick of the Seattle SuperSon­ics.

forwards Jerry Johnson and Pat Ver­ina.
and guard Tony George.
George was the team's second
leading scorer last season with a 14
point per game average. There are
several players on hand this season
to join George in the backcourt.
Tim O'Toole returns for his second
season and if his freshman season is
any indication, he is in line for an
outstanding career at Fairfield.
O'Toole was the first guard eft the
bench a year ago and he always
sparked the club with his hustling
style. That style also earned him the
Pat Burke Award for hustle and extra
effort.
T1No backcourt newcomers are A.J.
Wynder. a transfer from UMass who
has been granted a full four years of
eligibi lity with the Stags, and Ed
Golden.
Wynder is lightning quick and
can play either guard spot, as the
shooter or the ball handler. Golden
is basically a point guard, very intel­ligent
and a strong ball handler.
With Wynder and Golden joining
George and O'Toole, the Stags appear
to be very solid in the backcourt.
At forward. the Stags are also
deeper and bigger. In addition
to veterans Johnson, Verina and
sophomore Jay Byrne, there is some
good size in the freshman forwards.
Jeff Gromos. 6-foot-8. and Eric
Portmann, 6-foot-7, will both see
a lot of pl::1ying time and Portmann
could emerge as the team's defen­sive
center. Chip Simenz and John
Leonard will help out at small
forward, and play a little guard as
well.
On offense. the Stags will have a
hard time replacing DeBisschop and
may go with three forwards. Kevin
Mcleod, a 6-foot-11 center from
San Diego is not projected as a star­ter
and is not being asked to fill
DeBisschop's shoes. Mcleod, how­ever,
does have the potential of
eventually developing into a valua­ble
player at Fairfield.
" Last season," said O'Connor. "we
·were too thin, we just did not have
enough players to cope with our
schedule. We were going with just
seven players and four of them were
freshmen.
"With a good recruiting year. we
will be in better shape this year. Now
we have 11 or 12 guys who can play.
not seven. You can't play our sche­dule
with seven.
"We will be looking to run more
and press more. We think the fresh­men
will help right away, if they
don't. we could be in trouble.
"We would like to see Jerry John­son
have another fine year. perhaps
improve on his rebounding stats.
Also we want Pat Verina to play the
way he did the first 10-12 games last
year, scoring and going to the boards.
and we expect Tony George to
improve his scoring as he gets his
confidence back.
" I think the conference is going to
be very tough, with lona sti ll the
favorite. La Salle and Holy Cross will
be up there. Fordham is young like
us. and St. Peter's is very good.
Everyone will be better."

Kevin Mcleod
6-foot-11 , 225 pounds, freshman center, San Diego, Calif.
5 3Kevin comes to Fairfield without a great
deal of playing experience on the high
school level. He is not under any pressure
to become an immediate contributor to the program
and is not being asked to fill the shoes of the
graduated Pete DeBisschop.
Mcleod began playing organized basketball as a
sophomore at James Madison High School in San
Diego, where he also played two years of varsity
football as a tight end.
His last two seasons of varsity basketball were
both interrupted. His junior year the family moved to
Indiana and then after moving back to San Diego,
Kevin had an injury that put him on the sidelines as a
senior.
In preseason drills at Fairfield, Kevin has shown
some rebounding ability and has been working hard
to improve his stamina and strength. Such hard
work and improvement is what the coach ing staff is
looking for, with the hope that a few seasons from
now, Mcleod will be ready to play a more prominent
role with the Stags.
Kevin, whose father, at 6-foot-9, played at Dayton,

Eric Portmann
6-foot-7, 205 pounds, freshman, forward, Sheboygan, WI
30 Half of the Stags' Sheboygan connection,
Portmann figures to see a lot of playing
time as a freshman .
Last season at North High School, Portmann
averaged 17 points and 11 rebounds as he teamed
with Chip Simenz to lead coach Tom Desotel l's
team to an 18-3 record.
Portmann, an aggresive player who is willing to
work down low around the basket, was the all -time
leading rebounder at North High School, and the
second all -time leading scorer, second only to
Simenz. He was a two-time All-Fox River Confer­ence
selection and an honorable mention all-state
pick.
Eric could emerge as the Stags' defensive center
as he did play some high post in high school. He is a
good shooter from the high post area.
Portmann also competed in track while in high
school. He ran both the half mile and 800 meters for
three seasons. He ran in a 10 kilometer road race in
Fairfield in the fall along with the rest of the basket­ball
players and the only player to finish in front of
him was Tim O'Toole.

Port mann lifted North from the ranks of the alsorans
to a record of 24-4 in its conference the last two
seasons, and the school's first conference title in 38
years.
Simenz is a playersimilarto the Stags' sophomore
Pat Verina. He is a guard, but also big enough at 6-5
to play some at the small forward spot. He plays
extremely hard, and is not shy about diving for loose
balls and taking a charge.
Chip was also an outstanding scholastic tennis
player, winning a conference title and finishing
fourth in the state as a senior.

University, Fordham University, I on a Col­lege,
Manhattan College and St. Peter's
College.
Holy Cross College and La Salle College,
two schools with long and proud traditions of
academic and athletic success, became MAAC
members in July, 1983.
The MAAC has achieved much on and off
court success in its first years of existence. The
Conference men's basketball tournament
champion will be eligible for consideration to
the 1984 NCAA tournament. The MAAC has
fulfilled the two year waiting period required
for such consideration.
For the third consecutive year, the MAAC
men's basketball tournament semifinals and
finals will be held at the Byrne Meadowlands
Arena, home of the NBA's New Jersey Nets.
This year, for the first time, the opening round
games of the tournament wil l be held at the
New Haven Coliseum, an outstanding arena.
The women's basketball championship game
wil l be held at the Byrne Meadowlands Arena
for the second straight year. Opening rounds
of the MAAC women's tournament will be
played at campus sites.
Six MAAC teams have reached post-season
play during the past two years. lona College
(MAAC tournament champion). St. Peter's
College (regular season champion) and Ford­ham
University participated in the 1982 NIT.
Fordham (MAAC tournament champion) and
lona (regular season champion) returned to
compete in the 1983 NIT.
St. Peter's, the MAAC women's basketball
champion for two consecutive years, repres­ented
the Conference in the 1982 Women's
NCAA championship tournament.
Over the years, MAAC schools have written a
proud basketball history. The eight MAAC
teams have made a combined total 21 NCAA
and 63 NIT appearances. During the last two
years, victories have come over teams repres­enting
the Pac 10, the Sun Belt, the Big East,
the Big Ten and the Atlantic 10.
The MAAC, which receives a great deal of
media attention in the powerful Northeast cor­ridor,
has allied itself with two outstanding
arenas and one of the world's most prestigious
tennis facilities (the West Side Tennis Club in
Forest Hills, N.Y.) .
The Conference is also associated with some
of the finest corporations in the world. The
MAAC, in a relatively short period of time, has
become a respected and recognized member
of the collegiate athletic world.

The Scouting Report
The season will get under way
with a meeting of the Mac's. The
Stags of the Metro Atlantic Athletic
Conference (the MAAC) will take on
Western Michigan of theM id-A me rica
Conference (the MAC). That. will be
in the Spartan Cutlass Classic at
Michigan State, the opening round
of which will be played Nov. 25.
Joining the Stags and the Bron­cos
will be the host Spartans and the
Chippewas of Central Michigan, also
of the MAC.
After that tournament appearance,
the Stags have a slate of non- league
games that is indeed attractive. The
Hawks of St. Joseph's University,
Navy, Connecticut and Northeast­ern
are among the December rivals,
with the game against Connecticut
slated at the New Haven Coliseum.
The first home game will be the
Dec. 3 meeting with St. Joseph, one
of the teams considered a favorite in
the Atlantic 10 this season.
Two of the reasons why are 6-
foot-7 forward Bob Lojewski and 6-
foot-6 swing man Lonnie McFarland.
Both threw in 25 points last year
when the Hawks beat the Stags,
110-83.
Another interesting home game
will occur the following Saturday
when Navy makes its first appear­ance
ever in Alumni Hall. The Mid­dies
and the Stags played a barn
burner last year at Navy, with the
Mids taking a 110-103 decision.
Navy is an early season favorite in
the ECAC South Conference along
with James Madison and William
and Mary. Stag fans will get a close
look at sharp shooting guard Bob
A maine, who had 37 (15 of 19 from
the floor) against Fairfield last year.
Navy also has a talented sophomore
forward in 6-foot-7 Vernon Butler.
Conference play gets under way
on January 8 when the Stags travel
32
to Holy Cross, one of two new teams
in the MAAC this year. The second
conference game is against the other
newcomer, La Salle.
The conference looks quite strong
this year, with lona again pegged as
the team to beat. Coach Pat Ken­nedy's
Gaels have the devastating
twosome of guard Steve Burtt and
forward Gary Springer back for their
senior seasons. In fact the Gaels
have everyone back from a team that
posted a 22-9 record last year and
went to the NIT.
La Salle has one of the finest play­ers
in the country in 6-foot-3 junior
guard Steve Black. Black came back
from an injury last season to spark
the Explorers to the East Coast Con­ference
championship and a trip to
the NCAA tournament.
Along with Black, the Explorers of
coach Lefty Ervin have powerful 6-
foot-9 Albert "Truck" Butts, a 12
point, nine rebound performer a year
ago.
Defending champion Fordham has
lost a lot to graduation but Coach
Tom Penders has some talented
freshmen to go along with such
veterans as Tony Mel ntosh and Jerry
Hobbie.
Holy Cross won 17 games last
year and narrowly missed getting an
NCAA spot when it bowed to Boston
University by one point in the ECAC
regional. Pat Elzie, Darren Maloney,
Jim Runcie and 6-9 Ernie Floyd will
team to make the Crusaders of
Coach George Blaney an MAAC
contender.
Then there is St. Peter's, with its
top two scorers returning from a
team that went 22-51ast year. Return­ing
for Coach Bob Dukiet are Shel­ton
Gibbs, one of the premier play­ers
in the conference, and Tommy
Best.
Army proved to be the surprise
team in the conference last year as
the Cadets, under rookie Coach Les
Wothke won 11 games. including an
upset over Manhattan in the open­ing
round of the MAAC playoffs. The
Cadets have three starters back
including AII-MAAC pick Randy
Cozzens.
Manhattan continued its improve­ment
last year, finishing above .500
at 15-13. But the Jaspers of Gordie
Chiesa have just one starter returning.
Pat Verina looks for an open man.
