CO-CAPTAIN BRUCE STEWART

Senior Forward

Bruce has been a starter since his sophomore year. The 6-3 graduate of Mackin High in Washington, D.C. was the Indians' number-two man in both total points and total rebounds last season.

His 336 points last year gave him a varsity career total of 620. If he can duplicate last year's average of better than 12 points per game he will join the select Bryant "1,000 point" club before the end of the season.

CO-CAPTAIN RAY DEPELTEAU

Senior Forward

Ray is one of the leading college division players in the East. Last season he received recognition on both the Associated Press and the United Press International's All New England teams in addition to being named to two ECAC weekly All-East Teams, the Naismith Con­ference All-Star team, and the Bryant Holiday Tourna­ment All-Tourney team.

He led the Indians in just about every department including total points, scoring average and rebounding despite a midseason injury which limited his playing time in several games.

In two years of varsity competition he has tallied 670 points and should become the fifth member of the Bryant "1000 point" club sometime this season.

He's a teacher and a student at the same time. He needs to be a master psychologist trying to

mold 10 to 12 young, free-thinking spirits into a single cohesive playing unit.

He could qualify as a travel agent for the American Automobile Club after having visited every small town from Nowhere, N.Y. to Everyplace, N.J.

His lengthy working hours, his erratic eating habits and the continual suspense surrounding his job makes him a prime candidate for a stomach ulcer.

Who is he? He's a college basketball coach; that special breed

of man who's life revolves around the game of basketball. There arc thousands of collegiate basketball coach­

es in the country and each shares a common bond, love of basketball.

Bryant's Tom Folliard is one of that special breed. Each year from October to March he spends between five to eight hours a day, seven days a week, either coach­ing or studying basketball. That of course is in addition to his regular duties as Bryant Athletic Director.

Then there's the traveling. Each season Tom trav­els over 5,000 miles in his combined scouting and re­cruiting effort. Then there's the 3,000 miles the team logged for its 12 away games last season.

Of course when the season ends in March a good part of Tom's work is still ahead of him. He must visit several of the outstanding high school players around the east coast area which often takes him into towns few of us ever realized were on the map. Then there's the coaching clinics, conferences and conventions that keep him on the move almost until the end of the summer; just in time to get ready for the start of another season.

"It 's an architect's dream" That's how one noted Rhode Island professor of archi­

tecture described the new Bryant College campus upon its of­ficial dedication last spring.

And although it's true the campus is built in a dream setting; the new home of the Bryant Indians is very real. Over 200 acres of reality in fact, complete with ponds, views of val­leys and hills and some of the most modern architectural struc­tures in the country.

The hub of the new campus is the ultra-modern "Uni­structure". This space-age building provides a place for maxi­mum student interaction under its central glass dome. Includ­ed in this single building are 55 classrooms, science labs, lec­ture halls, an auditorium seating 500, faculty offices for 88, an administrative wing, three-story library planned to ac­comodate 100,000 volumes and 400 reading stations, dormi­tory dining room for 800, faculty dining room for 250, snack bar for 300, indoor swimming pool with locker rooms and sauna baths, game rooms, bowling alleys, the college book­store, barbershop, beauty parlor, a bank, the College post of­fice and many other student services.

In addition to the "Unistructure" there is an ultra-mod­ern dormitory village containing 13 dormitories for approxi­mately 1150 resident students.

Of course to the sports enthusiast the most important feature of the new campus is the more than 25 acres of ath­letic facilities. The center of the athletic complex is a 1.2 million-dollar tartan-surfaced gymnasium complete with sauna baths, men's and women's exercise rooms, weight rooms, three basketball courts, and athletic department offices.

However the gymnasium is only part of the athletic fa­cilities available to the nearly 4,000 full and part-time Bryant students. Other athletic features include a six-lane all-weather running track, six tennis courts, newly constructed baseball and soccer fields, a five-mile cross country course and several softball and football fields for intramural activities.

Last year as a junior Ray Depelteau was Bryant's leading scorer and re-bounder, was named the "Outstanding College-Division Player" in Rhode Is­land, was selected to two E.C.A.C. weekly All-East teams, was named to both the Naismith Conference Ail-Star team and the Bryant Holiday All-Tourney team and received recogni­tion on both the Associated Press and United Press International All New Eng­land teams.

Most college basketball players would consider that an extremely suc­cessful season and be content to dupli­cate that effort in their senior year.

But not RAY DEPELTEAU. "I didn't shoot enough last year"

the Indians' 1972-73 co-captain rela­ted. "If I had more confidence in my shot I could have scored more points last season. But this year coach Folli­ard has me shooting more. He has giv­en me the confidence I needed and I expect this season to be a lot better than last year."

Despite the fact there's not many new honors the 6-4 forward could har­vest this season except a possible col­lege All-American berth; If Ray Depel­teau says he's going to improve than he undoubtedly will.

"Ray has improved 100 percent since he came to Bryant three years ago" says Bryant head coach Tom Fol­liard. "He never stops working and I think his play last year, especially dur­ing the second half of the season showed he is one of the top collegiate players in New England."

"The fact Ray is now a shooter and a good shooter is a tribute to his wil­lingness to work at something."

As Ray puts it "When I came to Bryant in 1969 I was strictly a defen­sive player. I was the "garbage man" on my high school team. Just about all of my points came on rebounds. They didn't look to me to do the scoring."

Despite being the so-called "gar­bage man" at Immaculate High in Dan­bury, Conn, Ray still managed to aver­age 20 points per game in his senior year. He passed up several offers from local Connecticut colleges for a chance to play at Bryant. "I was all set to at­tend the University of New Haven" Ray reminisced." until one day I visited Bryant. I was so impressed with the students and the coaches I decided this was where I wanted to go."

It was during his freshman year that Ray started becoming offensive mind­ed. "Coach Stein, (the Indians former freshman coach Bill Stein now an as-sistent at Georgetown University), start­ed working with me on my shot. He'd spend hours with me after practice showing me how to shoot."

But it wasn't just coaching that turned Ray into a good shooter. There were a lot of long lonely hours spent working on that shot. "I figure I spent three to four hours every day during the summer of 70 just working on my shot", Ray relates.

The dividends of that labor began appearing in his sophomore year. Short­ly after the start of the season he earned a starting berth and by the end of the season he had set a new Bryant all-time field goal average with a .518 percen­tage. In addition he finished third on the team in scoring and second in re­bounding.

But that was only the start of a great varsity career. Last season he averaged 16 points and 13 rebounds per game despite an injury that limited his play in several games.

During the second half of the season Ray was especially effective. He aver­aged close to 20 points and 15 re­bounds per game in the stretch drive that led the Indians to a Naismith Con­ference co-championship and a berth in the N.A.I.A. regional playoffs.

But it isn't just Ray's point pro­duction that makes him one of the best collegiate players in the area. Coach Folliard is one of the first to acclaim Ray for his unselfish, complete game. "Besides being our leading scorer last season Ray was our leading rebounder, one of the top men in assists and one of the best men on the press. He's an all-around player, the type a coach loves to have on his team."

NED BOHAN

Sophomore Guard

Ned was the top playmaker on last year's team. An ex­cellent ballhandler he combined with Brian Ahem and Frank McCormack to give the Indians one of the top backcourt groups in New England last season. This year Ned, Ahem, McCormack and freshman Bob Hammel are expected to share the backcourt duties.

In addition to setting up the plays the former La Salle Academy star averaged over seven points per game as a freshman last season.

The 1972 Bryant Holiday Tournament

will be the third edition of what has become

one of the top collegiate holiday tournaments

in New England. Initiated in 1970 by Bryant

Athletic Director Tom Folliard the tourney

has attracted some of New England's top col­

legiate teams in its comparatively short exis-

tance.

All three of the visiting teams in this year's

tournament, Bentley, Clark and St. Michael's

will be making their first appearance in the two-

day event. Some of the other well-known New

England quintets which have participated in

previous tournaments are Stonehill, the 1970

champion, Middlebury, Colby and Merrimack.

The prospect for future tournaments looks

even brighter. Joining the host Bryant Indian

in next year's four-team field will be Spring­

field College, Hartwich College of Oneonta,

N.Y. and A. I. C.

GEORGE YATES 1966 - 70

George was one of the most naturally tal­ented men to ever play for the Indians. He came to Bryant in 1966 after superb inter-scholastic career at Rogers High in Newport, R.I. During his four-year varsity career he reg­istered 1,170 points which places him third on the all-time Bryant scoring list.

TOM SMILE 1963 - 67

Tom still holds six Bryant basketball records including the all-time career scoring mark. In his four years of varsity competition Tom tallied an amassing total of 2,489 points. His top effort came during the 1966 - 67 season when he registered 629 points in leading the Indians to 22-2 record. That 629 points still is the Indians top season scoring record. In ad­dition to his career and season scoring records Tom also holds the single game scoring rec­ord, 52 points, the records for most field goals in a season, 235, most field goals in a single game 23 and most free throws in a season, 136.

being only 5 '8" the Newport, R.I. native re­

corded acareer total of 1,206 points during his

four years of varsity play. He accomplished

this feat despite missing over half of the 68-69

Bob was only the second player to reach the 1,000 point mark in two years. Bobby started at Bryant in 1968 after spending two years at Northwest Community College. In only two seasons of competition he tallied 1,107 points as he led the Indians to two consecutive N.A.I.A. regional tournament berths.

HENRY GONZALEZ BOB MOLL

Senior Forward Sophomore Center

Henry registered the second highest rebounding aver­age on the team last season. He moved up from the junior varsity at the start of the season and by mid-season he was one of the top players on the squad.

He averaged almost 10 points and over 10 rebounds per game during the second half of the season. His aggressive style of play also makes him one of the top defensive players on the team.

Bob could be a vital cog in the Indians attack this season. The 6-6 sophomore gained valuable varsity experience last season and coach Tom Folliard is looking for a big year from the Fairfield, Conn, na­tive. He is expected to battle senior Richard Lense and freshmen Charlie Armstrong and Dave Sorafine for the starting center spot.

Senior Center

Richard is one of the leading rebounders on this year's squad. Last season he saw action in over half of the Indians' 23 games. At 6-6 he is one of the big­gest men on the team and his rebounding ability on both the offensive and defensive boards should strengthen the Indians attack.

Dave was the premier big man in the Rhode Island schoolboy ranks last season. He averaged over 20 points per game in leading North Providence High to the state Class B semifinals. An excellent outside shoot­er for a big man he possesses the talent to be a top collegiate player within a few years.

A top athlete and student Tommy was named both the outstanding basketball player and the scholar-athlete in the city of Waterbury last year. He is an ex­cellent ballhandler and could add some valuable depth to the Indians backcourt this season.

JOE COONEY

Joe is an extremely aggressive play­er that should develop into a top collegiate player with a few years of experience. At 6-6 and 210 pounds he will be the biggest man on this year'sjV squad and should prove to be a valuable asset under the boards.

Paul gained a year of valuable ex­perience last season on theJV team. He showed steady improvement throughout the year and should pro­vide coach Joe Fowlkes with some much needed depth.

Joe was a standout performer at Cranston East High before he came to Bryant last season. The 6-3 for­ward was one of the leading re-bounders on last year's junior var­sity team and is expected to be one of the top men in that area once again this season.
