The arrival of Hugh Latham altered the fortunes of a basketball program that had experienced only four winning seasons in the previous 15 years Oregon had fielded a team. Doubling as a fullback on the school’s football squad, the three-sport letterman played a major role in the team’s unprecedented success in 1921, ’23 and ’24 as it accumulated a 45-20 record. Perhaps more telling of his talents were the fortunes of the “Lemon-Yellows” in his absence. Oregon slumped to 7-24 during the 1921-22 season without the Oregon native, who missed the season due to his commitment to the school’s football team. Upon the return of the all-Northwest honoree, the two-time team captain proceeded to earn all-Northern Division and all-Pacific Coast Conference acclaim his final two seasons. A teammate of Oregon’s future legendary basketball coach, Howard Hobson, Latham would conclude his senior year by becoming only the second first-team All-American in the history of the program.
