MEMBERS OF CHAMPIONSHIP
TEAM AND COACH MACMILLAN
ENTERTAINED BY CHAMBER.

Coach David Macmillan, Idaho's
basketball coach for the past three
years, members of the dual conference
championship basketball team this
past season, and Coach R. L. Mathews,
head of the university athletic de-
partment, were the guests OF honor
at the regular weekly chamber OF
commerce luncheon this noon. Coach
Macmillan gave a brief review of the
season and introduced seven of the
Vandals present at the luncheon.
In the past two years the Idaho
basketball team has won four cham
pionships, two championships year.
With Idaho a member of both the
Pacific Coast and Northwest confer
ences the Vandals have been success
full in winning the championship in
both conferences for the past two
years. Coach David Macmillan in his
three years at Idaho has built two
teams that have won four champion
ships for the University of Idaho.
Win so Out OF 81.
The Idaho team has not lost a game
on the home floor for three successive
years. In the three seasons the VAN
dals have played 81 games and have
won 80 of them. In 81 conference
games in three seasons Idaho has won
As and lost only eight. Four of these
games were lost by a single point
and the worst defeat administered
Idaho in the three years was a 20
to II defeat at the hands of Wash
ington State college this season at
Pullman.
The record of the Idaho team with
other colleges of the Pacific coast and
the northwest shows that Idaho has
won three out of the four games
played with the Oregon Agricultural
college; Idaho has won three out OF
the five games played with the Uni
versity of Oregon; four out of the five
games played with the University of
Washington; all of the eight games

with Willamette university; nine out
of the II games with Washington
State college; all of the six games
with GOnzaga; all three of the games
with the Multnomah Athletic club OF
Portland; and all of the two games
with the University of California.

1t is interesting to note that the
first athletic contests between the
University OF IdanO ana Cne UHlVer-
sity of California were won by Idaho.
