It is a small, scrappy unit which could face major rebounding problems once the season gets under way. "That was our downfall last year," said Crawford.

"It will be our biggest problem this year. With Kevin McBain, (a raw talented 8-8 sophomore) swinging in and out of the lineup, though, we should be in pretty good shape. Tonight wil hold a lot of answers. "At least we have people this year who know what it's all about," said Westhead. three, you know.

Tom Pug-liese, the former assistant at Seton Hall, does have three starters back to ease the pain however. One of them, 6-8 senior Hank Wisniewski, caused La-Salle its biggest problems last year, scoring 12 points and grabbing 17 rebounds. This year, with Westhead starting 6-5 junior Joe Di Cocco in the high post, Wisniewski will be the biggest man on the floor, "That will probably be the only mismatch heightwise," admitted Westhead. "Joe has been confronted with situations like that before, though." Westhead has indicated that ing a long season with a 6-19 record. "Maybe that's why this December is so important to us," said Crawford.

"I think that will be a forecast of how our season will go." The curtain rises again at 8 o'clock tonight. Coach Paul Westhead's team will be in a little town of Bethlehem to play upset-minded Lehigh (0-1). Lehigh, if you recall, is the same team which started La-Salle on the road downhill. The slow, plodding Engineers overpowered the Explorers, 69-64, at the Palestra. Westhead went into the post-game locker room interview speechless.

This year, he appears a little better prepared for all eventualities. Westhead scouted Lehigh Monday night in their 65-60 loss to East Stroudsburg. Ironcially enough, he came away from the upset somewhat impressed. "I really can't explain how they lost," he said. "Objectively speaking, they had better personnel and they executed better.

They just couldn't seem to take advantage of opportunites, though. I kept expecting their lead to go from 6 to 16 at any minute. It never happened, thought." Maybe it was first game jitters, a new system or a new coach. Lehigh has all By DICK WEISS Courier-Post Stajf PHILADELPHIA Jimmy Crawford, LaSalie's quiet senior co-captain, can still remember the vivid details of the assassination which took place last December. "That was a brutal month for us," recalled the 6-4 forward from Bishop Eustace Prep.

"We lost our first four games last year and we never recovered our confidence after that." After the initial shock waves had worn off, LaSalie's young basketball team ebbed into a comatose state, finish sive guard, was named recipient of theTouchdown Club Trophy and junior defensive tackle Steve Allen of Passaic received the Dave Bender Trophy.

West WAYNE VANDENBURG gets the ax Track Coach Out In UTEP Shocker NEW BRUNSWICK, Len Boone, Rutgers juniordefen-sive halfback from Fieldsboro last night received the George C. Cronin Class of 1931 award as the Scarlet football team's "most improved player" for the 1972 season. Boone, a 5-10, 175 pound Political Science major from Bordentown High School played little as a sophomore, but won a starting position early this season.

He tied for the lead in pass interceptions with four. One of the team's fastest athletes, Boone also saw service on Rutgers' punt and kick-off return units. But, his greatest contribution came as a defender. He was cited as the outstanding defensive player in the 21-13 victory over Connecticut and consistently played a major role in the five-game win streak which closed the season. Rutgers finished with a 7-4 record.

Boone received his award at the annual New Brunswick Touchdown Club banquet honoring the Rutgers football team. The event was held at the Green Brier Restaurant. Jim "JJ" Jennings of Ho-lyoke, the record-setting junior tailback, and tight end Larry Christoff, a Northampton, senior, shared the Homer Hazel Trophy as the most valuable members of the squad. Senior co-captain Dave Rin-ehimer of Edison, an offen This winter start lire Foot on a EL PASO, Tex. (UPI) -The University of Texas at El Paso yesterday fired track coach Wayne Vandenburg, whose team finished third last season in the NCAA championships.

Members of the Miner track team, after a meeting with school officials, said they had requested that Vandenburg be rehired. They said they had decided against, at least for the time being, a suggestion that they quit the track team unless Vandenburg is reinstated. The reason for the school's action was not made public and Vandenburg himself said that while he would make a statement in the near future he would have no immediate comment. It is known, however, that there has been a clash in personalities between Vandenburg and Athletic Director George McCarty. Announcement of the action was made in a brief statement by McCarty.

"The administration, with the concurrence of the athletic council and the athletic department of Texas-El Paso, have terminated the services of Wayne Vandenburg as track coach," he said. "The university will immediately begin a search for a track coach to continue and enhance the track program." The Miners placed third in the NCAA meet last season behind UCLA and Southern California. They easily won the Western Athletic Conference track title. The indoor track season begins Jan. 12 for the Miners.
