Bain) The best in the West ith a new coach and a new passing offense, the W football team leap ed from the conference cellar into the national playoffs. Although Idaho lost to Eastern Kentucky, the eventual national champion, the team’s 9-4 finish was the best in the school’s history. The winning didn’t stop after the football turf was rolled- up and the basketball court was laid down. The women hoopsters overpowered their first six opponents before suffering their first defeat at the Wahina Classic. Mean- while, at the Far West Classic, the men convinced even the most doubtful basketball fans that the Vandals were indeed the best in the West. With more class than flash, Idaho battled its way into the final round, upset Oregon State in a double-overtime heart-stopper and claimed its second Far West title in as many years.
