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 19t,4, the Hilltopper style of basketball has re­ mruned in the national spotlight and has greatly added • rIO ..9 (linte jiuit. ~O\!I1U ~1l"1r 'Wolldri .. to the national popularity of the game. Western is recognized nationally and internation­ QIax loorc ~{\lrllbr9 jiern ~llirt. ally for its basketball All-Americans, its champion­ ships, its victories, and its coaches. QIorhi .. 1lrrnlUotn, Q!n .. trrbur\! ~Jdl. It all started 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 (irst collegiate basketball game, Diddle witnessed a start­ ling 103-7 victory which set the pattern (or future fame and recognition. After Western played 149 games in the original "LiUle Red Barn". the HiJJtoppers moved into the Physical Education Building (now the Margie Helm Library) where Western was to win 336 of 374 home Lta, lnc. games in 32 seasons. "men's traditional clothier" During the 1933-34 season, Diddle's Toppers 11Sf ColI.-g. 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 sea on to Diddle. In Diddle's first 21 years of coaching. Western captured 11 Kentl.lcky Intercollegiate Athletic Con­ ference championships and seven Southern Intercol­ legiate Athletic Association titles in addition to placing over 20 players on All-KIAC and AII-SIAA squads. USE By the fourth decade o( the 20th century, the 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 U. Following the war, Western added two more KlAC crowns in 1947 and 1948 in addition to winning the SlAC title in 1947. In 1948, Western became a charter member o( the newly-formed Ohio Valley Conference. Under coach Diddle. the Hilltoppers won ten OVC season championships and four conference DAIRY PRODUCTS tourneys. The Hilltoppers reeled off 67 straight home vic­ tories from Feb. 5, 194.9 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 (or a lifetime basketball coaching per­ centage of 71.5. Head coach John Oldham and assistants Gene Rhodes 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 HUitoppers posted The HiJI'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, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, has constantly retained its national prestige.
