A fitting tribute to two great coaches-on the shoulders of the team they left the field. Dr. McIntosh congratulated Coach Caccia as the RMC champion's- victory parade prepared to do the town.

Bengal ager The Idaho State College basketball squad con- tinued to make this the year of champions. Following in the footsteps of ISC's champion- ship football team, Coach Steve Belko's cagemen remained undefeated throughout Rocky Mountain play and ran away with the conference crown two weeks before the season actually ended. With the majority of the team mostly Freshmen and Sophomores, the Bengals gave Idaho State College fans a preview of things to come. No Seniors and only three Juniors were on the squad. This seemed to many like an inexperienced team, but the boys from ISC made up in hustle what they lacked in experience and the results speak for themselves. The Bengal's record of 18 wins and 6 losses may not seem impressive to many, but the Bengals when they lost, lost only to some of the best teams in the West. Such powers as Brigham Young and Utah State were able to gain early season victories over the then, yet green Bengals. As the year progressed, however, Idaho State won 12 straight games without a setback.
