Hilltopper Basketball Now In 48th Season

Western Kentucky University is fielding its 48th basketball team this season. Since its innauguration in 191.4, the Hilltopper style 01 basketball has re­mained in the national spotlight and has greatly added to the national popularity of the game.

Western is recognized nationally and internation­ally for its basketball AII.Americans, its champion. ships, its victories, and its coaches.

It aU started in 1914 when Western deleated 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 01 E. A. Diddle as head basketball coach. For 43 seasons, Diddle's name became synony­mous with winning basketball. Coaching his lirst collegiate basketball game, Diddle witnessed a start­ling 103-7 victory which set the pattern for future fame and recognition.

Alter 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 336 of 374 home games in 32 seasons.

During the 1933-34 season, Diddle's Toppers posted the first of 18 seasons with 20-or·more vic· tories-it was the first of ten straight seasons with 20 wins or more. Wes tern won 30 01 33 games in 1937-38, which also was Ted Hornback's first season to assist 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 A11-KlAC and AII·SlAA squads.

By the fourth decade 01 the 20th century, the center jump had becn eliminated and the jump shot became popular. Basketball was moving into a prom· ising era--only to be thwarted brielly by World War II.

Following the war, Western added two more KJAC 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 tou.rneys.

The Hilltoppers reeled 011 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 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 Hilltoppers posted The Hill's best basketball record since 1954 en route to competing in the NCAA Tournament lor the fourth time.

And so it is that Western, which has played 148 colleges and universities in addition to teams from Havana, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, has constantly retained its national prestige.
