Born in New York City, December 21,1888. Graduated from the Towsend Harris Hall, New York City, 1906. Took his undergraduate work at the City College of New York and the Engineering School at New York University , 1908 through 1911, and later took graduate courses in the New York University School of Education. While in high school, Al played football, lacrosse, and ran on the track team, winning awards in all sports. In college, Al continued his work in football, track, and lacrosse, winning many awards during his college days. After leaving college competition, Al played on several different club teams scattered throughout the NewYork area and continued playing until the 1942 season. Al's athletic interest did not wane and has not until this present time. He coached at the following institutions: Stevens Institute, 1918-1920, at which time Stevens was twice the Northern Champion. He moved to Rutgers University in 1921 and was their first coach of lacrosse and coached there through the 1925 season. Then to New York University where he coached from 1926-1933. Then out of college coaching for fifteen years, but very active in coaching the different boys' clubs in the New York area, and in the box lacrosse leagues that were active during this period of time. Back into college coaching in 1949, he was the first coach at Hofstra College and then again this year, he became the first coach at Post College. Al's officiating history included 26 years through 1926-1951. Al has not only been active n the coaching and officiating of lacrosse but has been extremely active writing articles and lecturing on the game throughout his entire career. In 1934, Al was one of the founders of the Long Island Lacrosse Association and president of this group from 1935-1953. Also, a founder and past president of the Metropolitan Sunday Lacrosse League. The committees on which Al has served in regard to intercollegiate lacrosse have been numerous and the one he is most noted for has been that of Editor of the Lacrosse Guide from 1938 and is still its editor, and doing a very tough job in a most excellent manner.

Besides all of Al's work in the sports field, he has been extremely active starting off working for the New York Central Railroad, the New York State Public Service and the New York City Fire Department before moving into the educational field in 1925, where he was extremely active as a teacher and administrator and Dean of Boys until his retirement in 1958.

Al was married in 1913 to Frances Marie McClory. They have three children, Albert, Jr., Robert and Edna; eight grandsons and one granddaughter.

From the above incomplete record of Al's active life, you can see that he is certainly well-deserving of this highest honor that lacrosse can bestow upon him, and it, therefore, gives me the greatest pleasure to present him with this certificate of entrance into the Lacrosse Hall of Fame.
