White was a quiet contributor on the floor and outstanding athlete in the 1940s. Playing in the early years for Joe Lapchick, White set the standard as a “go-to-guy” when scoring was at a premium and averaged 9.4 points per game in his three varsity seasons. In 1939-40, White averaged 8.7 points to lead the team to a 15-5 mark. The following campaign he improved to 10.2 points, and in 1941-42 poured in 200 points for a 9.5 average.
