Tonight the University of Idaho will provide Oregon with
its first league competition of the 1945 basketball season. Tra
ditionally the doormat of the Northern division, Idaho last year
knocked .over.-Washington State four straight times and de
feated Washington in their final game to hand the champion
ship Huskies their only loss of the season. They finished in a
tmrd place HQ wipn yregyn otaie
with 5 wins and 11 losses.
This year Coach “Babe” Brown
has turned out a team that he ex
pects to provide t plenty of upsets
before the curtain rings down on
the league in March. The first on
his hope list are our Oregon Ducks
who are riding a victory streak
with 16 wins out of 22 in their pre
season schedule.
Three returning lettermen, led
by Leonard Pyne, form the nucleus
of this year’s Vandal squad. Pyne
ranked sixth among the Northern
division scorers last year, with 147
points.
Besides Pyne, who is a two-year
letter winner, Bill Carbaugh and
Dick Morse are back for another
season of hoop action. Added to his
veterans, Brown has a flock of
freshman candidates. Froshs Bob
O'Conner, John Taylor, Jaff Over
holser, Max Call, and Bob Smith
will all see plenty of action when
play gets under way. O’Conner,
Taylor, Call, and Smith all tower
over the six-foot mark.
J. A. (Babe) Brown is head
mentor of the Vandal squad for
his third straight year. Last year
he pulled Idaho out of the league
basement for the first time since
1938. Whether he will be able to
keep them out again this year is
doubtful since the other four teams
show themselves as power-laden.
“Babe" is one of the cheerful
coaches who is a credit to the Nor
thern division, and to basketball
as a whole. Without the wealth of
material to work with that most of
the other schools have, it puts a
feather in his cap every time Idaho
knocks over one of the big boys.
An alumnus of the University of
Idaho, he was fullback of the foot
ball team for three years starting
back in 1920. He played some ama
teur football after he graduated
ana tnen went into coacnmg in an
Idaho high school. Brown joined
the Idaho coaching staff as fresh
man football and basketball coach
i ntho fall of 1941. He was promot
ed to head man two years ago and
since then has taken the whole of
war-time sports at Idaho on his
shoulders.
So much for the sketch of Idaho
Coach “Babe" Blown. Watch for
him when he brings his Vandals to
Eugene for a two-game series Feb
ruary 20th. The Vandals may be

undermanned but with Brown »as
coach they’ll be a fighting team.
To get back to the Ducks, "who
ever made up this season's sched
ule must have had a grudge against
the Webfeet. First they have the
Inland Empire trip (which they
are on now) which features four
games in fight nights against Ida
ho and Washington State. They
will get back to Eugene next
Thursday, and then have only one
day to prepare for a Saturday
game with Oregon State at Cor
vallis.
That’s tough enough to make
any coach stop and scratch his
head, but Warren and the Ducks
seem to feel that nothing could be
as rough as their Canadian barn
storming trip last term. Let’s hope
they’re right and bring back five
scalps when they return to Mc
Arthur court.
