}}Earl Craven (November 24, 1922 – July 27, 2000) was an American football player, coach, and college athletics administrator in the United States. He was president of the NAIA Coaches Association from 1957 through 1959.[1] He also initiated a nationwide appeal to cease marketing efforts of alcoholic beverages at college sports events and campuses.[2]

Playing career

Craven entered Pacific College (now called George Fox University) in Newberg, Oregon during the fall of 1941. His time in college was interrupted by military service in World War II from 1943 to 1946, but he returned to Pacific and was awarded letters in basketball, baseball and football. Craven earned a degree in psychology and education in 1949.

Coaching career

Taylor University

Craven was named the head coach at Taylor University in Upland, Indiana beginning with the 1955 season.[3]

William Penn

In 1958 Craven was hired as the 29th football coach[4] and athletic director of William Penn in Oskaloosa, Iowa. William Penn athletics had been in a major slump for 20 years. Craven worked to boost attendance and improve the program. Craven's first football team at William Penn recorded the most wins in a single season to date and ended with a record of 7–2, including the program's first win over Central in 20 years.[5] His record at the school was 26–18–2.[6]
