WESTERN VS. M U RRA Y FEBRUARY 6, 1967 E. A. DIDDLE ARENA Electees To The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame

The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame was conceived as a memorial to Dr. , who created the game, and to the thousands upon thousands of athletes, coaches, schools, fans, clubs, youngsters and oldsters, and sports lovers who have made basketball the pre-eminent sport throughout the world.

Dr. James 'akmlth The institution is designed as an educational facility and mu­ seum in which will be housed all the literature of the sport, films of important games, records, trophies, and all available memorabilia of the sport and in which the heroes of the game will be enshrined. Separate areas will be provided for each category of basket­ ball participants so that the Hall of Fame will truly represent the sport- wherever it is played.

Standing at the historic Springfield (Mass.) College, where the founder himself asked that it be placed, the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame is the showcase for bas­ ketball. At this educational and museum is evidence of the vital contribution which all groups, fans, coaches and officials have made to the thrilling sport of basket­ ball. A beautiful Court of Honors tiisplays the plaques struck for those honored men elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame.

Dr. Naismith was an athletic instructor at the School for Christian Workers (now Springfield College) when he created the game of basketball over seventy-five years ago. Since that first game, basketball has spread around the globe. It is now played on an organized basis in over 130 countries and is by far the most popular sport in the world.

The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, honoring the founder, will pay con­ tinuing tribute to all those heroes of the sport who have built and continue to build this great game.

There are currently sixty-two individuals and four teams already enshrined in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. There are seventy-three colleges and uni­ versities and twenty-nine other organizations holding institutional membership in the Hall of Fame.

Western Kentucky University 3 Hilltopper Basketball Now In 48th Season Western Kentucky University is fielding its 48th basketball team this season. Since its innauguration in 1914, the Hilltopper style of basketball has re­ mained in the national spotlight and has greatly added rnll~ ~lIt. 5tllit ~ ~O 11111 1=vmo 'Woiltlrir. to the national popularity of the game. Western is recognized nationally and internation­ Olax c!'ROOrt ,sfll,,"trro fjorD fol!irt. ally for its basketball All-Americans, its champion­ ships, its victories, and its coaches. O!orbill (Lroll."ro Q:/lI1trrburu ~rlt. It all slarted in 1914 when Western defeated Bethel (Ky.) College 38-21, under head coach J. L. Arthur. Basketball was discontinued from 1917 to 1922 when coach L. T. Smith guided the Toppers against 13 opponents. The real history of Western basketball began with the appointment of E. A. Diddle as head basketball coach. For 43 seasons, Diddle's name became synony­ mous with winning basketball. Coaching his first collegiate basketball game, Diddle witnessed a start­ ling 103-7 victory which set the pattern for future fame and recognition. After Western played 149 games in the original "Little Red Barn", the Hilltoppers moved into the Physical Education Building (now the Margie Helm Library) where Western was to win Z36 of 374 home Lta, Jnc. games in 32 seasons. "men's traditional clothier" During the 1933-34 season, Diddle's Toppers 11l' College St. posted the first of 18 seasons with 20-or-more vic­ tories-it was the first of ten straight seasons with Pres. Pete Morris 20 wins or more. Western won 30 of 33 games in 1937-38, which also was Ted Hornback's first season to Diddle. In Diddle's first 21 years of coaching, Western captured 11 Kentucky Intercollegiate Athletic Con­ ference championships and seven Southern Intercol­ legiate Athletic Association titles in addition to placing over 20 players on All-KIAC and All-SlAA squads. USE By the fourth decade of the 20th century, the center jump had been eliminated and the jump shot became popular. Basketball was moving into a prom­ ising era-only to be thwarted briefly by World War Il. Following the war, Western added two more KIAC crowns in 1947 and 1948 in addition to winning the SlAC title in 1947. In 1948, Western became a charter member of the newly-formed Ohio Valley Conference. Under coach Diddle, the Hilltoppers won ten OVC season championships and four conference DAIRY PRODUCTS tou_rneys. The Hilltoppers reeled off 67 straight home vic­ tories from Feb. 5, 1949 to Jan. 6, 1955. Coach Diddle retired from the hardwood battles following the 1963-64 season played in the Diddle Arena. In 43 seasons, Diddle won 759 games and lost only 302 for a lifetime basketball coaching per­ centage of 71.5. Head coach John Oldham and assistants and Buck Sydnor took the helm in 1964-65 and guided the Toppers to their ninth appearance in the National Invitational Tournament. And last sea­ son, the Hilltoppers posted The Hill's best basketball record since 1954 en route to competing in the NCAA Tournament for the fourth time. And so it is that Western, which has played 148 Bowling Green, Kentucky colleges and universities in addition to teams from Havana, HawaH, and Puerto Rico, has constantly retained its national prestige.
