Lauren Laddie Gale signed AUTO 8x10 photo Basketball HOF Oregon Deceased LOA

Description

A leading figure in the development of West Coast basketball, Laddie Gale (d 1996) revolutionized the game by using a one-handed shot. This technique made the clever 6-foot-5 forward a valuable member of Hall of Fame coach Howard Hobson's University of Oregon Ducks. A star player for the "Tall Firs," Gale led Oregon to the first official NCAA Championship in 1939 and brought credibility relatively unknown to basketball in the Pacific Northwest. The superb-shooting Gale scored 815 points over two college seasons and was named a Helms Foundation All-America in 1939. He was selected to the All-Pacific Coast Conference First-Team in 1938 and 1939, the same years he led the conference in scoring. His 408 points as a senior surpassed the Pacific Coast Conference record previously held by Hall of Famer Hank Luisetti. He was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1977.
We offer a signed and personalized 8x10 photo issued by the Basketball HOF which is super rare in this format.
