Weber College had a good team with a good likeable guy for a coach. This coach and Weber College were the defending conference champs. There were a few lettermen returning to bolster the rest of the freshmen. Cliff Lee, pitcher; Wyman Cash, pitcher; Jim Dawson, first base, Ted Favero,. first base and pitcher; Neil Flinders, second base, and Lew Wright, outfield. - Unfortunately Weber's first three games were at Boise where the temperatures were in the 30's and the gale blowing at about 30 m.p.h. This is not ideal baseball weather. Boise took all three games because of being used to the weather. Boise played good ball and Newman, a Boise chucker, had Weber batsmen in the second game blowing up a breeze of their own. He fanned 17 men' in a seven-inning game. The first game was won by the lopsided score of 20 to 1. Cliff Lee threw for Weber but lacked support behind him. "Ironman" Johnson threw the second game, but ran into trouble in the fourth inning and had to have help. Boise won this one also. Cliff started the third game but was relieved after hurting his arm, after the second pitch. Typical new campus excitement and linseed oil. i r"" ill . 1 Art ready, here comes the pitch. Ted Favero replaced Cliff and hurled the next five innings. Ted then hurt his arm and was replaced by Wayman Cash. Weber led by one run but Boise in the seventh inning came back with one out to score two runs and win. Weber then came home to play in good weather. Jim Johnson won Weber's first game at Westminster but needed help from Cliff Lee in doing so. Ricks then came to town and Weber snagged three of the three game wins. Jim Johnson winning two of them. In the first game, Cliff won by the fancy score of 25 to 2. Johnson then pitched the first game of a double-header, allowing no hits and only two men reached first base, and struck out 16 others. The score was 5 to 0. The final game was started by Ted Favero but was in turn re- hS: A. as group doll's it up with brushes "' ' ' ' Iff Still excited are Sharmea's Thilda Moor and Sharon Slater over their intramural goal. lieved by Wyman Cash and Jim Johnson. Ricks was leadinng 7 to 2 when Johnson took over, and Weber staged a comeback and won, 8 to 7, in a close well-played game. The Cats then traveled to Westminster again and Cliff pitched to a victory of 9. to 1. Weber ended up in second place with a 5-win and 3-loss record. Boise Junior College took the championship at Westminster after beating Westminster and C.S.U. in three games. Our congratulations got to Boise because of how they did. Just one week before they played Westminster, five of the regulars were injured in an auto accident. They were traveling from a game and were in a head-on collision near Boise. One boy had to have 45 stitches in his face after being thrown through the window. Another received a brain concussion, while the other two received cuts and sprained ankles. One other boy had his chest crushed and received internal injuries. Playing a game after this took guts. A team like that deserves to win. Finishing Touch A fellow was pretty sick and the doctor ordered him to take a long vacation in Arizona. He went there and at the end of two months he died. They brought the corpse back to Los Angeles and his wife and her brother were viewing the remains. She said, "Oh, Joe, doesn't he look nice?" And Joe replied, "He sure does. Those two months is Arizona did his a lot of good." Trophy Owner as Phoenix Take Baseball Excelsior is leading the intra-mural pack by so many points that it will be impossible for second-place Phoenix to ovvertake them. Excels has a 412-point lead. At the beginning of Spring quarter Excelsior had a total of 1516 points. Phoenix was second with 1104. Sigma, with 873 is third, and Alpha Rho with 777 stands in fourth. The faculty, LDS, and AMS are in fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth, respectively. Phoenix II has captured first j place in softball with six victories fore Pnoemx could retire the side, against no defeats. "Joltin' " Joe i two runs had scored. When Phoe-Ward's speedy pitching and Gary ! nlx came to bat in the bottom of Peterson's powerful hitting in the pinches has contributed much to the victories of this club. Phoenix I defeated Excels I, 4-3 in the season's closer. This loss drops the "E" men to third place with a 5-2 win-loss record. The game that brought the most attention was between Phoenix II and Alpha Rho. The game went into four extra innings before Phoenix triumphed 9 to 8. Big Darwin VanDeGraff started on the mound for Phoenix, but Alpha Rho 's hard-hitting brought Ward in as relief as the contenders picked up three runs. Gary Peterson started off the inning for Phoenix with one of his notable four-baggers. Parker held the Phoenix men down until the last inning when Alpha Rho led 5 to 3. In their half of the last inning, Phoenix managed to push two runs across to tie up the ball game. Alpha Rho collected a tally in the top of the next frame, but Phoenix again tied up the score when they came to bat. It looked like Alpha Rho's game in the sixth inning. They loaded the sacks with onen down, and be- OT Takes First By Defeating LD, Shanodo Second Otyokwa wound up baseball by defeating LD, .5-1 and took the championship honors in a well-fought game. Tucker got one way out for L.D. which gave them their only score. The Independents suffered a loss at the hand of Chanado 33-4 in a two-inning runaway. Lois McDon-ough led out in the hitting department with two homers and a single for three time at bat. L. D. Sharmea and the Independents are tied for third, each with one win, and three losses. Squash and tennis championships are stil to be decided. Joyce Parry, Chanodo, Madge Curran, Sharmea and'Tootsie White are fighting extra hard for the Squash title. ! Star Printing & Litho.

Phoenix was able to load the sacks in the seventh, but they were unable to push any across. In the eighth, Phoenix again loaded the bases. With two down, Ray Lewis came to bat and popped one high into the air right in front of home plate. The ball came right out of the sun, and Alpha Rho was unable to find it until the winning run. had scored. Softball Standings: W. L. Pet.

After the Cats had led most of the way, Ricks came back in the last two events with the assistance of Boise to claim the No. 1 title. Third followed Boise, then College of Southern Utah. Anderson had his team trained to a tapers' end and had entrants in every feat. The Wildcats took more first places than any other contender, but just didn't make the final ballot. The Cats are looking forward to their new field which will assist greatly in the preparation and traininng of the new squad. It will be that meets will be scheduled at home where Weber will be able to take an interest next year. The track team will be hurt greatly at the loss of Dick White, who has earned a scholarship to the Utah State College at Logan. Dick has starred in the javelin, low and high hurdles, and ran in the various relays and has been a great asset for points to the cinder fleet this year. Dick is one of the three four-letter two-year men. THE URGE TO KILL Did you hear about the' reporter who called up Mr. Upjohn in the middle of the night and asked "are you up John?" |
