Back Gover ABOUT GEORGE FOX COLLEGE George Fox College is the outgrowth of a desire by early Willamette Valley Quaker settlers who established Pacific Academy in 1885 for the Christian education of their children. The college division was organized in 1891 to provide more advanced instruction for students. In 1949, because of the many colleges in the Northwest with "Pacific" in their name, the college was renamed George Fox in honor of the founder of the Friends (Quaker) Church. The college is governed by a 42-member Board of Trustees elected by Northwest Yearly Meeting of Friends Church, which comprises more than 8,000 mem bers in 57 churches in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. Today the 60-acre rural, tree-shaded campus a half hour drive from Portland is undergoing a major expansion with the construction of two new buildings underway, including a new $2.2 million sports complex and an $850,000 academic center. A new residence hall also is scheduled for construction during the year. Enrollment is currently at a record 627, George Fox this year being one of Oregon's fastest growing colleges with a 13 percent enroll ment increase. Accredited by the Northwest Association of Secondary and Higher Schools, the college offers 24 majors in six divisions: Education, Fine and Applied Arts, Language Arts, Natural Science, Religion, and Social Science. George Fox is one of 14 members of the national Chris tian College Consortium. GFC has a student-faculty ratio of 1 : 16, with more than 65 percent of faculty mem bers having doctorates. George Fox students come from 20 states and 4 foreign countries. Nearly 40 religious denominations are represented on the Newberg campus. Alumni of George Fox are primarily in service-oriented vocations of Christian ministries, education, social work, and medical fields. The college's most prominent alumnus is the late President Herbert Hoover, who attended Pacific Academy. GFC ATHLETICS Intercollegiate athletics is an integral part of the overall education program at George Fox. Varsity athletic teams represent the college in baseball, basketball, track, soccer, and cross-country. George Fox College competes as an independent on the varsity level. Its schedules are coordinated with both the Evergreen Conference and the Northwest Conference and with other independents in the Northwest. George Fox is a member of the National Association of Inter collegiate Athletics (NAIA), District 2. Women students compete in field hockey, volleyball, basketball, tennis, track, and softball. The college is a mem ber of the Women's Conference of Independent Colleges and the Northwest College Women's Sports Association. For students not participating in the varsity program, GFC has a complete intramural program including flag football, basketball, volleyball, and softball. Athletic facilities include Hester Gym, which seats 1,100 and has facilities for wrestling and weight training; Colcord Field, which includes a football-soccer field and track; a baseball field; and tennis courts. Under construction with completion expected spring term is the new $2.2 million Coleman Wheeler Sports Center, which will contain three basketball courts in the Miller Gymnasium and seating for up to 2,500, multi purpose rooms, classrooms, faculty and staff offices, and space for saunas and handball courts. THE BRUIN NICKNAME George Fox College is represented by the nickname and mascot "Bruin." But it's not always been so, even though it should have been. The nickname comes from a real live bear captured in 1887 just two years after Pacific Academy (the college's predecessor) was established. The small cub was captured in the coast range foothills west of Carlton when its mother was shot. The young cub was brought to campus by a student and later lived with a faculty member. When it grew to adulthood it was kept in a pit in what is now known as Hess Creek Canyon south of the campus. It escaped one too many times and was turned into steak for the dining table and the hide preserved on a frame and displayed in an early campus museum. When it deterio rated several years later, it was taken to a campus furnace room to be destroyed, but the framework proved a prob lem in dismantling, so it was left sitting in a corner. Stu dents found the old Bruin skin later and began skirmishes over ownership, a tradition that continues today 87 years later. "Bruin Junior," under a set of guidelines passed down for years, is to be fought over periodically in class competition with the class able to physically drag the Bruin replica off pampus declared the rightful owner until it is next "flashed." Even with the Bruin tradition, somewhere along the line, the "Quaker" tag to athletic teams came into popular ity with sportswriters because of the college's church affilia tion, and that nickname was used, along with a mascot "Foxy George," a little fox with a Quaker hat. Both gained acceptance for a period in the 1950s and 1960s until a vote of faculty, studeats, and administration in 1970 reinstated the Bruin nickname to its rightful place. 2 Bruin Outlook: HOW IT LOOKS FOR 1976-77 Sam Willard calls it a "building season." But that designation may be deceptive. "Building" in this case does not mean struggling through a year for experience, trying to develop a future team, but "improving" on a base already established. And what a base: four starters back from a team that went 19-8, the best in the school's 11 years of NAJA competition, and a mark that was the best regular season finish among the district's 13 teams last season. Willard, stepping in for Lorin Miller who established that strong base over six years, knows he has the pressure on him to keep up the winning tradition. He says he's ready. "I'm not wanting to just maintain where we are but to have a building season-to use last year as the start of bigger and better things," Willard says. He says he's "excited about what I'm seeing" among his players and notes a strong team unity because of the large carry-over of players. The winning George Fox tradition as the top indepen dent, and in the district playoffs five of the last six years is a challenge, but Willard says he's also going to concen trate on the development of personnel. "I'm not concerned just about winning, but how well we're doing things I want done-the accomplishment; I want us to play the best we can." If it's like last year, it should be super. Besides a new coach there will be other differences. The Bruins should be much quicker. And there is greater depth to go along with the four returning starters. Quick ness will come from some good recruits, but also from the Willard emphasis. He says the new look will not be a fast break as such "but getting to the other end of the court with the ball." Emphasis will come on quickness in defense (a Bruin tradition) as much or more than offense. The Bruins will keep their established deliberate ball methods, with a control-type game, and now a motion-type offense. The Bruins will be definitely team goal-oriented. In addition to the overall season effort, a set of internal offensive and defensive goals for the Bruins and opponents has been set. The Bruins, as an understatement, have a good nucleus. They need only to replace Steve Strutz in the Bruin machine. But that will be a difficult job. The big key to Bruin fortunes is sensational Paul Cozens. Accolades are already coming to the 6-6 forward, even with two years of college ball to go. He's already earned the highest area honors possible: An aU-district choice both as a freshman and sophomore, and last year the only Oregon pick for the Little All-Northwest College squad chosen by coaches and sportswriters. This summer he continued to play, chosen to the 10-member Seattle AAU Junior Olympic All-Star team playing in the national tournament in Cincinnati, Ohio. But Cozens is not alone; also returning are the number two, three, and four scorers: Tim Hardie, Dave Adrian, and Tom Hewitt, respectively. Together they provided more than 53 points a game. To that is being added the talents of two transfers and three freshmen to bolster the other six returning players. 3 COACH SAM WILLARD It's a new area for the George Fox Bruins as a new coach takes over the helm. Sam J. Willard has the role of keeping the Bruins at the top of the NAIA District 2 standings. Named in May to replace Lorin Miller, Willard officially became head basketball coach and athletic director Aug. 15. The dual role is not unfamiliar to Willard: he's held similar duties at Big Bend Community College in Moses Lake, Wash., for the last seven years. Willard's selection in itself is a measure of his qualities: he was the top choice for the post after a screening com mittee considered dozens of candidates from across the nation. Maintaining a winning tradition was a strong factor, but equally important were the personal attributes and characteristics reflecting the George Fox objectives. Coaching has been Willard's background for the last 16 years. It's been impressive, with an overall coaching record of 275 wins and 161 losses. In 1966 the new Bruin mentor was Coach of the Year on the prep level in Idaho while he coached at Caldwell High. Willard guided basket ball at Middleton from 1960 through 1965, then spent four years, until 1969, at Caldwell. His teams were in the state tournaments seven of those nine years, placing at least third each year. He coached his team to the state championship title twice, one year with an undefeated 27-0 mark. Willard, 49, has his own personal basketball mark too. A graduate of Northwest Nazarene College in 1959 Wil lard, in a guard slot, helped the Crusaders to the NAJA national championship playoffs in 1957. A "preacher's kid," Willard played high school ball in Williston, North Dakota, where he was an All-State guard. With a real concern for the individual as a person as well as a player, Willard, basically a quiet person, says he has only "total excitement and optimism" about the Bruin program. "I hope not to just continue the program but to expand it further," Willard says of the task he inherits. Last season his predecessor, Lorin Miller, led the Bruins to a 19-8 finish, the best in George Fox's NAJA history and the best regular-season finish in the district. "That's a real challenge," Willard says, "and I would not want to settle for less." Academically, Willard holds a master's degree from Central Washington State following summer sessions at Oregon State and Arizona State. That knowledge is used now as an associate professor of physical education on the GFC faculty. For the last five summers Willard has been assistant director and athletic director for a Youth Conser vation Camp in Moses Lake. Willard also has coached summer basketball camps and clinics in Washington and California. Willard is an active Kiwanian and a member of the Nazarene Church. He and his wife Myrna, a Newberg kindergarten teacher, have four children: Sherelyn, 13; Samantha, 10; Buntly, 9 ; and Whitney, 8.
4 COACHING STAFF CRAIG TAYLOR is in his sixth year under Coach Sam Willard, but this season with a new per spective. Taylor, 25, played basketball for five years with Willard as his coach: three years at Caldwell High School in Idaho, then followed him to Big Bend Community College for another two years. Now they're """'"" back together again with Taylor - ~ ,::.._; as the chief assistant for the Bruin effort. A 1974 George Fox graduate, earning both Outstand ing Man in Teacher Education and Outstanding PE Major honors, Taylor adds the new coaching role to his other assignments as a physical education instructor, Bruin base ball boss (10-10 last spring) and residence hall director. It's not a new role entirely, however, just renewed em phasis. For the last two seasons Taylor has served as a graduate assistant to Lorin Miller. Taylor was a member and captain of GFC's national contending 1972-73 basketball squad in the NAIA cham pionships. For the Bruins he averaged 10 points a game, among the best among all-time Bruin NAIA scorers. He averaged 4.96 rebounds a game on his way to both district tip-off and all-district honors as a senior. Under Willard at Big Bend, Taylor, a 6-6 forward, was the leading scorer and rebounder for two years, earning honors as team captain and art All-Northwest Community College League pick. He was an all-conference and All State basketball star in Idaho under Willard. Taylor completed a master's degree in education in May, and this year was named to Outstanding Young Men of America.
NICK SWEENEY ran out his playing eligibility last season, but he's still a Bruin, this year as a graduate assistant to Taylor and Willard. One of the most aggressive players ever in the Bruin fold, Sweeney will have scouting as one of his main duties. But he'll also help out as a player obser ver, using his talents as a per sonnel evaluator. Sweeney also will be another carry-over in the head coaching change, helping smooth the transition be tween returning players (and his playing partners last year) and the new staff lineup. Using his "buffalo style" ball inside as a forward, Sweeney in two years as a Bruin averaged 3.72 rebounds a game and 6.4 points. Another product of the West Seattle-Highline Community College pipeline, Sweeney at Highline averaged 19 points a game along with 13 rebound grabs and was named Most Inspirational and team captain. A spring GFC graduate in 1976, Sweeney is now a substitute public school teacher in the Newberg area. 5 THE BRUINS-AS INDIVIDUALS DAVE ADRIAN is one of the quickest 6-4 players around. A smooth and poised player with great intensity, Adrian, a for ward, is expected to take a lead ing role, especially spiritually. As a freshman last year Adrian played in every contest and was third in scoring with an 11.5 average. His credentials are im pressive: He was one of Ore gon's most sought-after prep stars as he captained the 1975 state high school championship team, Sunset High. He was a Metro-Area All-Star, and is now a liberal arts major. ' SCOTT AUDISS has a J'ob J : · ahead this year. As the Bruins' only "true center" he has to carry the load in a power-type game. At 6-7 he's the tallest team member (along with Shep herd) and will be needed on the boards. He's back for his second year. Last year Audiss averaged just under five points a game. A senior psychology major, Audiss came to the Bruins via Concordia Junior College in Portland, where he captained his team to a spot in the Small College West Coast Nationals. BRIAN BARKDULL is a fresh man basketball standout from Boise, Idaho, where last year he won Most Valuable honors at Borah High, averaging 12 points a game with a 52 percent field goal accuracy. Also named "Mr. Defense," Barkdull, a 6-4 forward, averaged 10 rebounds a contest as a senior. A leaper with quickness and good poten tial, Barkdull is "every bit as fine a player as we've had," Willard says. He is a 6-5 high jumper in track and is a business economics major. KIRK BURGESS is expected to "own the middle" as an aggres sive 6-4 forward new to the team. A transfer from state runner-up champion, Spokane Community College, where he averaged 7.2 rebounds a game and 4.8 points, and was named Most Improved, Burgess also has a strong high school back ground as an all-league pick from Eastmont in Wenatchee. Burgess is "as aggressive as refs will allow." He is an English/ education rna jor.
6 - - ~ GARY CHENAULT, one of I the top ten scorers in the history of Washington Community Col lege basketball, joins the Bruins as a sophomore transfer from Big Bend Community, where he averaged 22.4 points a game, set a school season record of 540 points, led the Vikings in assists and free throws, and served as captain. Chenault, 5-9, will be one of the quickest Bruins and one of the best passers. Chen- ault, from Indianapolis, is an honors student in business. PAUL COZENS is the Bruins' "Mr. Everything." With pro-ball potential, Cozens, a 6-6 forward, is rewriting George Fox record books. His 17.65 scoring aver age in two years (it was 19.6 last season when he was MVP) is the highest ever. He's the team's best shooter (.527 ac curacy) and top rebounder (10.4 a game). His free throw accu racy of .882 percent last season was ninth in the nation. For two years he's been an All-District choice and last season was the only Oregon pick for the Little AU-Northwest College squad. He is an interdisciplinary major. GREGG GRIFFIN is best at defense and he is fast on the floor, taking some of that speed from his track career, where he has a 9.6 clocking in the 100. A sophomore, Griffin has a good attitude for basketball and will fill in in the guard position. Last season he saw limited action in 16 games with a 1.2 scoring average. Another Seattle prod uct, Griffin, 5-10, captained his Queen Anne High School team, was All-City honorable mention and is now a PE major. TIM HARDIE is expected to repeat as an important point producer and to assume the senior leadership role in the front line. Last season the Kelso, Wash., product put through points at the rate of 13.3 points a game with a .495 percent ac curacy, topped only by Cozens, and was second in rebounds. A "swing man" in either the guard or forward position, Hardie, 6-4, came to the Bruins a year ago via Highline Community (Seattle), where he was an All-Conference coastal division pick. He is a PE major and the only married player.
7 IRSIE HENRY, the youngest member of this year's team ( 17), is a 6-4 forward from Crenshaw High School in Los Angeles, where he earned the designation Most Improved his senior year. He averaged 10.1 points and 8.1 rebounds a game for his squad and in a city championship game was named the top defensive player. De scribed as "a fine looking fresh man" by Willard, Henry shoots well and is quick. He is a social services major. TOM HEWITT is expected to be "Mr. D" for the Bruins as he comes back for his fourth year after a summer of playing ball in South America with Sports Ambassadors. One of the Bruin mainstays, he's expected to take over the leadership role and be a leading playmaker. Last sea son the 6-0 guard led the team in assists with a school record breaking pace of 5.1 a game, while adding 9.3 points a game himself. Hewitt has a background that includes West Seattle High and a position as a ball boy for the Seattle Super Sonics. He is a history major. BOB LAUGHLAND is back and better. Named Most Im proved on last year's team, Laughland has more confidence to go along with his determina tion and hard work. A 6-2 sophomore guard - forward, Laughland saw action in about two thirds of the Bruin games last year in a reserve role scor ing two points a game. Laugh •dl1'\!) ' land's experience also includes a guard role on his El Dorado High School (Placentia, Calif.) team that won the Cali fornia. I~tersc~o~ast.ic Federation AA championship. He is a Chnshan mm1stnes major. GORDON SHEPHERD, along with Audiss, is the tallest mem ber of this year's squad, but now is 20 pounds lighter (210), which has resulted in more quickness for his second year with the Bruins in the post posi tion. Shepherd saw limited ac tion last year in a reserve role when he played in 12 games. A senior this year Shepherd trans ferred a year ago from Central Arizona Junior College. He is a social science and recreation major.
8 JON STRUTZ has a name that is familiar, following in the shadow of older brother Steve, who graduated last year with some of the most impressive credentials ever. A 6-4 forward, Jon is back for his second sea son, hoping for more action than the two games last year. A "100 percent player who goes at it with everything he has," Strutz is a native of Billings, Mont., where he averaged seven points a game and five rebounds as a senior at Billings Senior High. Strutz is a liberal arts major. ERNIE STURZINGER, a walk on for the Bruins, has clawed his way onto the roster. "If de sire does it, he'll do it," Willard says. A 5-9 guard, Sturzinger prepped at Salem Academy, where his 13 .8 scoring average helped him win all - league honors as a senior, when he also cocaptained his team. A good V \£; ~ }u!: passer, unselfish, and smart on • -11.-- J the floor, Sturzinger is full of potential in basketball and also will play baseball for the Bruins. He is a physical educa tion major.
MARK VERNON is one of the team leaders. A scrappy 5-10 guard, Vernon is good on de fense, a sharp passer, and has "the greatest intensity to succeed of any of the players." Back for his second year with the Bruins, Vernon last year stepped into the lineup 24 games, with a 1.6 scoring average, but keeping the ball moving when needed. A physical education major, Ver non is a senior from Seattle, where he played one year at Highline Community College, receiving both Best Defense and Hustle awards.
9 ASSISTANTS FRANK KYTE is a "pro" in his own area. Back for his fifth year as Bruin trainer, Kyte this year will complete a sports medicine program on the mas ter's degree level at Portland State and also will become an Athletic Certified Trainer. Now a Newberg resident, Kyte is a native of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and is a 1975 GFC graduate in physical education. His duties, in addition to a strong role of moral support, include keeping the Bruins together physically, with professional taping and quick first aid for injuries.
MIKE WIRTA is the team stat istician, heading a crew of stu dent assistants. A member of the college's custodial staff, Wirta is a 1974 GFC graduate and perhaps one of the most loyal Bruin fans-complete with the only BRUIN license plate in the state. A Newberg native, Wirta devotes many volunteer hours compiling facts and figures on the players and team, for both home and away games. He holds down the statistician role for the sixth year.
·------~ STEVE BEESON is back for his second year as basketball mana ger and for his third as equip ment manager for all sports. A junior from Meridian, Idaho, Beeson is a biology major who hopes to work in environmental research. Beeson has the assign ment of seeing that the "back room" is in order to keep those out in front going, including assurance that uniforms and equipment are ready and arrive intact and on time for all games.
10 BRUIN HOSTESSES Six campus coeds have been selected from dozens volunteering to become 1976-77 Bruin Hostesses.
