La Salle University Athletics

Coached by the legendary "Bear" Curran in the 1950's, La Salle's heavyweight eights dominated the Schuykill. Robert Morro '58 is one of only two men to have rowed on three Dad Vail Champions in his career. Sitting in the seventh seat three years in a row, Morro helped La Salle to the championships in 1956-58. Tom Conville '53, inducted to the Hall in 1973, was the other Explorer who had such success at the Dad Vail Regatta.
