JOSEPH'S of the 1984-85 Bryant basketball team, is Debbie Mowry, 1984 Saturday 23 SPRINGFIELD 7:30 Miss Rhode Island Universe and a former Bryant basketball cheerleader. A 1983 Bryant grad, Debbie was a member of the basketball cheerleading squad in both 1982 and 1983. She currently is a full-time member of a certified public accounting firm while also carrying out modeling assignments throughout New England. 1984-85 Outlook BIGGER & BETTER Bryant basketball fans are hoping bigger also means better in 1985. The 1984-85 Indians basketball forces will be one of the big­ gest squads in Bryant history and coach Leon Drury hopes the extra size can put the Indians back on the road to success after two consecutive losing seasons. "Our fans will see a different type of team this year," Drury said. "In the past few years, we have had problems under the boards. So last year we set size as our recruiting priority." The search for some added muscle brought three freshmen to Smithfield who have an average height of 6-foot, 6-inches and an average weight of 240 pounds. The biggest newcomer will be Dave Ewing, a 7-foot, 1/4 inch freshman center from Katonah, New York. "Dave will be the biggest player to ever wear a Bryant uniform," Drury offered. "He only started playing basketball a few years ago so he needs some experience. But, in time, we feel he can become an outstanding college player" Experience, however, isn't the problem for the two other new big men, Michael Reed and Art Whitehead. Reed is a 6-6, 222-pound forward from Classical High in Pro­ vidence, R. I. A two-time, first-team All-State selection, last year Michael gave Classical the R.I. state Class A championship by scoring the winning basket in a one-point victory in the champ­ ionship game. In addition to outstanding rebounding ability, Reed also possesses an excellent shooting touch from the 10-15 foot range. Whitehead is a 235-pound forward from Terryville High in Con­ necticut, where he specialized in intimidating boardwork. Despite the addition of these talented newcomers, Drury ex­ pects his biggest offensive punch will be one of the six lettermen on the squad, junior forward Gregg Cooper. Cooper, a 6-6, 200-pounder from Augusta, Maine has been one of the Indians top scorers in each of the past two years. In his two-year college career, he has scored 589 points, averag­ ing 9.6 as a freshman two years ago and 13.8 last year. Cooper is the only returning letterman who averaged in double figures last year. With some added help inside this year, we think Gregg will be able to take full advantage of his shooting talents," Drury offered. "We expect great things from him this season" « Joining Cooper, Reed, Whitehead and Ewing in the frontcourt will be two other tested veterans, Rich Lombardi, a 6-6, 218-pound senior forward and Bob Brown, a 6-8, 206-pound junior center. Lombardi and Brown were the No. 2 and No. 3 rebounders respectively on last year's team with a combined Virtually all of the Conference's other seven teams are veteran average of 10 rebounds per game. laden units compared to Bryant's young team. In a pre-season Another veteran Drury hopes will reach his full potential this poll of Conference coaches Bryant was ranked last. year is sophomore guard Manny Barrows. Barrows, another American International, the regular season champion the past former Providence Classical star, earned a spot in the starting two years, appears to be the team to beat once agan this year. lineup midway through last season and averaged close to 10 Coach Jim Powell has virtually the same lineup this season that points per game over the final 10 games of the season. posted a 23-8 mark last year.

Under Drury's direction, the Bryant varsity sports program has increased from 11 to its present 16 teams. In addition, nearly 90 percent of the College's 3,000 students take part in the 16-sport intramural program. Since he assumed the position of athletic director in 1978, Drury has spearheaded a drive that has seen the College's on- campus athletic facilities nearly double in the past four years with the addition of the Multi-purpose activities center in 1980 and the opening of 10 acres of new varsity and intramural athletic fields two years ago. The new athletic fields and activities center gives Bryant students nearly 30 acres of athletic facilities. One of the moving forces behind the creation of the Northeast 8 athletic conference, he has diligently worked to promote the Conference image throughout the country.

During his tenure as assistant coach he was responsible for the recruitment of two of Bryant's three All-American basketball players - Ernie DeWitt and Paul Seymour. Drury came to Bryant in 1973, following a three-year tenure as Brown University's freshmen basketball coach. In 1971-72, his third year as Brown freshmen coach, the Brown Cubs posted the best record in Brown freshmen basketball history with an 18-2 slate. Many of those freshmen players went on to give Brown its most successful basketball era in history from 1972-75. In the spring of 1972 he left Brown for Bryant. The 110-52 record the Indians basketball forces posted during his tenure As both an administrator and coach, Leon Drury's name is as assistant coach and his recruiting accomplishments led to synonymous with success.
