Western's Jim McDaniels scored the I,aOOth point of his vars ity career on Jan. 17 in a 102-80 win over LaSalle. He reached that coveted plateau at an earlier point in his career than any other player in the his~ory of Hilltopper basketball, in his 39th varsity game. Prior to McDaniels ' feat, Western's 1966 -67 All-Ame rica, Clem Haskins (now a star for the ChiC830 Bulls of the NBA), had been the quickest Hilltopper in scoring I, 000 points. He passed that mark in his 45th varsity perfonnance. Haskins went on to score a total of 1, 680 iJOints in his Western career. the highest number ever for a three -year var sity player. The only two players who scored more, Ralph Crosthwaite (2 , 076 in 1955 -58) and Tom MarslnIl (1,909 in 1951-54), both played four years of varsity basketball. Haskins also holds the Western record for highest career scoring average, 22. 1 points. McDaniels entered NCAA Tournament play this year with a total of 1,331 points, making him already the seventh highest scorer in Hilltopper history. He entered the Tournament with a 28. 6 average for the 1969 -70 season and a 26.6 average for his career to this point.

PRESIDENT DE RO G. DOVINING FORMER HILL W PPER STAR

Among \.'estern 's most devoted fans is the University's president, Dero G. Downing. And rightly so··-he was an outstanding guard on some of the finest teams in Western history, including the first two Hilltopper qu intets to go to the NIT in 1942 and 1943. He was also a top-notch cOllegiate tennis player.

ONLY HILLWPPERS OWN PERFECT O. V. C. RECORDS

When Western I(entucky finished the 1969-70 season with a perfect 14-0 mark in Ohio Valley Conference play, it was only the third time in the 22-year his tory of the league that a team was able to compile an undefeated season. On all three occas ions, the team to turn the trick was Western Kentucky. The two previous unbeaten league se3.S0ns were put together by the Hilltoppers in 1949-50 (8-0) and 1965-66 (14-0). :-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

DIDDLE'S MEMORABLE RECORD: 159 WINS , 30Z1:0S~ES IN 42 SEASONS

Western Kentucky University lost its finest rooster and one of the g reateRl w skelulJ ll coaches of aU time on Jan. 2. when former Hilltopper He:1d Coach Ed Diddle passed away. In the 42 seasons from 1922 until his retirement in 1964. Diddle's Western teams won 75 9 games and lost only 302. They won 32 championships in the j(enrncky Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. the Southe rn Intercollegiate Athletic Aseociation. and the Ohio Valley Conference. His teams won 20 or more games in 18 different seasons, including a string of 10 straight from 1934 to 1943. His teams played in the NCAA Tournament three times and in the National Invitation Tournament eight times. He will live forever in the hearts of Hilltopper boosters and basketball fans everywhere. Ylha will r emember his famed antics with his ever·present red towel, his warm smile, and his enthusiastic devotion to the game he loved so we ll.

OLDHAM'S RECORD AT ' ·[ESTERN: 122 VIINS , 34 LOSSES

In six years as head coach at Western Kentucky, Jolmny Oldham has compiled one of the finest r ecords in the nation. Going into this year's NCAA play, his Hilltopper teams have won 122 games and los t only 34. Including his nine-year stint as coach at Tennessee Tech, Oldham has a lifetime collegiate won-lost record of 230 victories and 117 losses. His Western teams , in only s ix seasons, have also accomplished the following:

*THREE REGULAR SEASON O. V.C. TITLES, ONE SECOND- PLACE FINISH, AND ONE THIRD-PLACE FINISH;

*FOUR HOLIDAY WURNAMENT CHAMPIONSHIPS;

*FOUR TRIPS TO NATIONAL FOST-SEASON WURNAMENTS. :-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= THREE N.C. A. A. "FIRSTS" FOR HILLWPPERS

In each of the last three occasions when Western Kentucky has played in the NCAA Tournament. the Hilltoppers have been the firs t team in the nation to qualify for a tourney berth. In 1965 -66 the 'Toppers clinched the Ohio Valley Conference tifle and its accompanying NCAA bid on Feb. 21 with a 72-67 victory over arch- L-Ival Eas tern Kentucky. In 1966-67 Western entered the tournament wi th a 11-62 win, again over Eastern Kentucky. This year the Hilltoppers qualified for the tourney earlier than any other team in the country by whacking cross-state rival Morehead State 98-74 on Feb. 21. -8- 1969-70 'TOPPE R!: EE3T SHOOTE RS EVER?

nus season's Hilltopper contingent could wind up as the best field goal shooters the school has ever had. They enter the NCAA Tournament with a . 477 average on field goal attem pts. The best previous team of shooters was the 1965·66 outfit headed by Clem Haskins and the late Dwight Smith. They had a .458 average. This current band of Hilltoppers could also be the top shooters in Ohio Valley Conference annals, since the league record for field goal accuracy is .470, compiled by Eastern Kentucky in 1964·65.
