TED WILSON GYMNASIUM
Ted Wilson Gym bears the name of the man who coached the Linfield basketball team longer and to more wins than any individual in school history. In 20 seasons, Wilson directed the Wildcats in over 500 games, compiling a 324-213 record. Riley Gym was nicknamed the “House of Hustle” out of respect for Wilson’s high-scoring teams, which averaged a school-record 96.5 points a game during the 1977-78 season. Ted Wilson Gym is decorated with 18 Northwest Conference championship banners, 16 of which were won by Wilson between 1961 and 1981. Wilson Gym, with 1,924 seats, is contained within Linfield’s 112,000-squarefoot Health, Physical Education and Recreation Complex which opened in 1989.

GAME TIME
The new structure was dramatic a departure from cramped Riley Gym. The state-of-the-art facility contains locker rooms, offices and classrooms, a fully equipped athletic training room along with display areas that house the trophies and recognitions of past Linfield teams and athletes. In 1920, Riley Gym was built adjacent to historic Pioneer Hall at a cost of just over $25,000. Riley Gym served as the basketball home of the Wildcats for 67 seasons. A granddaddy of small college gyms, Riley played host to its first game in December, 1921, and its last game in February, 1989. Linfield’s first on-campus basketball court was located on the north end of campus in the building now known as Newby

Hall. The floor was miniature by today’s standards and there were no boundary lines. The surrounding walls prevented players from leaving the playing area. As a game was about to start, someone would check that all the doors were closed tight, the ball would be tipped off at center court, and it was every player for himself. Up until 1907, Newby Hall, nicknamed the “Chem Shack,” was illuminated by candles with tin reflectors. Many of the gyms the Wildcats played in were smaller and even more primitive than the one on the Linfield campus. Around 1900, Linfield played its home games in the old pavilion in the city park. Following practices and games, players heated their own shower water using a woodburning boiler.

HEALTH AND SAFETY PROTOCOLS COVID cases are declining in Oregon, however, we still need to continue to ensure that all members of our community remain as healthy as possible during the COVID pandemic. Therefore, Linfield Athletics is adjusting our current athletic contest spectator policy to the following: For our remaining home-based basketball games, all Linfield students/staff/faculty must provide their Linfield Photo ID at the door and admission will be free. All other SPECTATORS (5 and older) MUST provide proof of full vaccination AND a photo ID at the door. Proof of a booster is not required yet. Vaccination information will be checked before spectators are admitted to purchase their tickets. Admission will be $10.00 for adults (18 and over) and $5.00 for nonLinfield college or university students, seniors, and
children 6-17. Linfield University policy requires everyone to wear an appropriate mask that covers the nose and mouth while inside our buildings. All participants, coaches, spectators and operations personnel must comply with mask use while inside our facilities (except players or officials during active competition and practice). This means wearing the mask over your mouth & nose at all times. There will be no band attendance. Concessions will not be sold until further notice. Food is not allowed in our venues, but non-alcoholic drinks may be consumed during events as long as proper masking is taking place between actively taking a drink. These adjustments are still temporary and will be reevaluated regularly.
Your health means everything. Now is the time to make the most of it. It’s time to address those concerns, large or small, that you’ve been putting off. We’re here to help, with a range of quality healthcare services - from routine screenings, to surgeries, to emergency care. Don’t make your health wait. Get the care you need now.

WILDCATS IN THE NEWS
Linfield Cheer and Stunt team places among top 10 squads at national competition The Linfield University Cheer and Stunt squad on Friday placed ninth in the finals of the 2022 College Cheerleading and Dance Team National Championship at Walt Disney Resort in Orlando, Fla. The UCA National Championships spotlight dozens of college and university cheer squads from both large and small colleges and universities. The event marks Linfield’s first foray into a large-scale
cheerleading and stunt competition. In the Small Co-Ed Division, Linfield earned ninth placed among 19 teams during Friday’s competition. Among the Wildcats’ seven NCAA Division I competitors were the University of Delaware, Hofstra University, Northern Kentucky University and Northern Arizona University. The Wildcats performed the “On With Linfield” fight song, followed by a cheer, then ended with a “timeout” style routine.
WOMEN’S SPORTS HISTORY SOUGHT Did you participate in women’s sports while at Linfield? Dr. Laura Kenow, professor in Health, Human Performance, and Athletics, is heading efforts to create a more complete historical record of women’s sports at Linfield. Help is needed from those who participated prior to 1990, but all stories are welcome. Please complete this short survey to share your Linfield women’s sport experiences and help build our historical knowledge. Throughout the spring and fall of ’22 there will be a variety of events celebrating Linfield Women’s Athletics as part of the 50th anniversary of the passing of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. If you have questions about the survey, sharing your story, or the upcoming events, please contact alumni@linfield.edu.
