Spearheaded by the brilliant pass- ing of sophomore quarterback Jim-ray Miyasato and his glue-fingered receivers the Wildcats scored in every period of the run-away contest completing a total of 12 passes in 23 attempts for a total of 157 yards. Pollard Scores Weber scored early in the first quarter of the game on a sustained drive starting on their 32-yard line. With a first down on Mesa's 30, flanker and co-captain Ray Rhead gained five around end, and on the following play Miyasato set up the touchdown by completing a pass to fullback Claude Mills on the two. Scatback Rod Pollard bucked over from there. The conversion by guard Charles Kalani split the uprights to put the Ogdenites ahead 7-0. At the beginning of the second period the Wildcats were threatening again with a first down on Mesa's 29-yard line. Miyasato completed a pass to end Dale Gardner on the 13, and Rhead scored on an end around on the following play. Marvin Peterson's kick for the extra point was wide. Mavericks March Near the close of the first half the Mavericks made their strongest bid for pay dirt with an uninterrupted march beginning on their own 30, but the attack bogged down dismally after reaching the Weber 43. The score at halftime remained 13-0 for Coach Mecham's eleven. A punt by Mesa's quarterback Marvin Sawyer in the third stanza was taken on the Weber 20 by Pollard who returned to the Wildcats' 37. On the first play from scrimmage Pollard gained six, and on third down Miyasato passed to Pollard on the Mesa 41 for a Weber first down.

Moments later Miyasato smashed over on a quarterback sneak, and Kala-ni's kick again split the uprights to make the count 20-0. Worton Scores On the kickoff following the touchdown, Gardener's boot sailed into the end zone for an automatic touchback giving the Mavericks a first down on their 20. Frank Marshall gained six on the first play, but a fumble on second down was recovered by the Weberites on the 25. A clipping penalty put the Wildcats on the 40, but Miyasato passed to Sam Vicchrelli for a first down on the 10. Bobby LaMadrid scored on the next play, but the touchdown was nullified by a clipping penalty, and the ball was returned to the 25. Miyasato then flipped an aerial to Ken Worton who scored standing up. The conversion was good by Gardner. In the opening minutes of the final quarter, Weber recovered a Mesa fumble on the Mavericks' 34. Several plays later Miyasato passed to Ralph Del Quado for the fifth Weber touchdown. The try for the point after touchdown by Miyasato was good. The final trip to pay dirt by the Wildcats began on their 30-yard line late in the waning minutes of the contest. In five plays Weber drove from deep within their own territory to the Mesa 21, and on the following play Miyasato rifled a touchdown pass to Rhead. Kalani added the extra point. Mesa Outclassed Thoroughly outclassed in every department throughout the contest Coach Jay Tolman's Mavericks gained only two first downs as compared to the Wildcats' 20. The heavy Weber forward wall offered superb blocking on the offense and charged devastatingly on defense to bottle up the Coloradoians completely. As for Weber's backfield they showed mid-season polish much of the time and gained a total of 275 yards rushing. Lineups: Weber Wildcats Ends Rhead, Young, Nelson, Adams, D. Gardner, S.

Squad Elects Gramberg, Rhead Co-Captains for Coming Grid Season At the first skull session of the season the entire Weber squad met in room 104 of the Moench building to preview the Mesa college game and also to elect the co-captains for the coming football season. Each player was handed a yel " ' " ' ' low slip of pa- per and was told by head Coach Milt Mecham to vote for the men of their choice. Coach Clair Anderson ,. , , tabulated the votes while members of the team were shown a motion picture entitled, "Football Thrills of '47." After the show Coach Mecham announced that Ray Rhead and Henry Gramberg were to be Weber's co-captains for the 1949 football season. A spot of tea, with a little spice from Coach Mecham, was then served and the meeting was adjourned. Ray "Sexer" Rhead somehow found his way into this world in Morgan county. Attending Morgan high he was a member of the football team for three years and was also an excellent basketball player. After high school Ray decided to attend college. He chose football as his major and has been playing the same ever since. Ray, a halfback in high school, first went to the Utah State Agricultural college where Head Coach Dick Romney switched him from the. backfield to an end. After a successful freshman year at Logan, Ray decided to attend Weber college, because he heard there were more women per man at Weber than at the AC. He ended up as all good ends should, being one of the outstanding flankers in the conference. Rhead was selected on the Southern Idaho College of L - j Education all-opponant team as an outstanding end last year. Ray's hobby is girls and from all reports would like some beautiful gal who likes being aroundco-captains to teach him to dance.
