After just one year at UPS (1939-40), Harry Werbisky was destined to become one of the University's greatest athletes, but died suddenly from an infection early in his sophomore year. During his brief career, he served as basketball team captain and was an All-Northwest Conference selection, leading the Loggers to their first Northwest Conference Championship in school history. This award was dedicated in his memory shortly after his death.
