Paul helped us find Gallagher Center,
the athletic facility where we found
Frank Layden ('53) and Calvin Murphy ('70)
on the wall and on the Athletic Hall of Fame list |
Hubie Brown ('55) is also on the Hall of Fame list and became renowned as a sports analyst for television (his picture is at the top right corner of the wall photo).

On the left, the retired number of Calvin Murphy
(Frank Layden's number is also retired) |
Calvin Murphy had a prolific collegiate career at Niagara, where he averaged 33.1 points per game over his three years. He played with the NBA Houston Rockets 1970-1983. At 5' 9", Murphy has the distinction of being the shortest NBA player inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Before basketball, Murphy was a world-class baton twirler, and in 1963 when in eighth grade he won the national championship.
