Pre-Conference Basketball
Finleymen Win Ten, Drop Six During Pre-Conference Play Seven straight victories were chalked up by the Idaho quintet in pre-conference play before the AAU Phillips Oilers throtlled the streak, 87-51. From this point, the Vandals found extracurricular activity less enviable, as they could garner but three wins in the next nine contests. Included in the trio of wins, however, was a 5846 trouncing of Wyoming's Cowboys, Skyline conference winners, in the Oklahoma City tournament.
