C New Stadium to Improve Football Play for Weber in '53 if Ready If the new stadium is available for the 1953 football season, one major hindrance to Wildcat football success this season will be removed.Weber has been at a disadvantage because of the sandy condition of the playing field at City stadium, where rodeos have chopped the ground into a mulch that hinders fast, tricky footwork. The Weber team has been smaller than its opponents and has relied upon speed and deception to win, since such light, fast men as Gary Loosli do not have weight to hit the defense for yardage. This situation, described as 'terrible" by officials, "has really put us at a disadvantage," admitted Coach Milt Mecham. In this connection Ricks college served notice at the close of the recent game that it refuses to oppose Weber again if the contest is to be at the same location, Coach Mecham, however, expressed some hope that the new Phone 3-7988 Star Printing & Litho Co. 327 -23rd Street Ogden, Utah BE ARE ANV ) T f BLUNDERS Wmdup Schedule 1952-53 WHERE PLAYED Klamath tails, Oregon Klamath Falls, Oregon Portland, Oregon Aberdeen, Washington Bremmerton, Washington Hill Field Ogden, Utah Ogden, Utah Ogden, Utah Salt Lake City, Utah Rexburg, Idaho U.

On a yardage basis they pushed the highly rated Buffalos of Eoulder, Colorado, all over the fie'd. Accidents gave the count to Colorado, however, 20 to 14. Laughing Chuck, who was a Wildcat star for two years, has not had much publicity since last year except an early season note that he had not qualified scholas-tically, later rescinded. Last year's conference championship was credited to Kalani because of at least one successful field kick through the uprights and consistent booting for extra points. By the time these remarks see daylight, Charlie will have been a Season Montana's Carroll college, located in the center of the big state at Helena, the capital, is entertaining the Weber Wildcat football team in its next to last appearance of the season today. Except that the Cats would like two wins now after suffering several defeats, a number of them by narrow margins, the issue is of no importance in the conference standings. The other possibility of a victory at the season end will come Nov. 22 at Grand Junction. Colo., against Mesa college. Boise Junior college, Boise, Ida., finished the Intermountain Collegiate Conference play last weekend against Ricks college, Rexburg, Ida., by taking another championship in clockwork order. This season Boise had to play only three conference games to take the league, since no other teams were at all interested in playing the big, fast organization. Boise spanked Weber 33 to 14, and Westminster 47 to 7. Ricks Was lambasted 57 to 0 In the title final at Boise. The last Weber home game was a spirited scrap Nov. 7 against a star-studded Mountain Home Air Base team in which the Cats squandered a first period lead and lost 19 to 13. Jack Andrews, quarterback, got the first Weber touchdown in the first period. Ron Lowder converted. In the second quarter the Flyers got two touchdowns when Bennett Isebell and Norman Wynn went across, making: it 12 to 7. After marching downfield from the 20, Weber got a score from Gary Loosli from the 15. Wynn of Mountain Home went across from the five in the fourth period, and that totaled the score. George Taylor fingered a possible tying pass into the end zone after getting it on his fingertips from Sonny Freston. But George still had some Hebe Jacobs service station grease under his nails, and that made the difference. He let it slide away. mainstay in the week-end session with Colorado A. and M. Coaching the Fort Collins Aggies is another old Weber college man, Bob Davis, who is likewise a former Ute player. Bob coached football for the Wildcats for a number of years before going to the Rams. His work was always marked by crafty play, although the Cats were not markedly successful in the conference. Now Bob opposes his alma mater for the Skyline championships since both teams were unbeaten in conference play at this writing. Around Weber Davis was a general good fellow and was frequently host to faculty members and athletes at his dude ranch In the Uintas. Another Ogden man who stars this year with the Utes is Orville Nellestein, who stopped ball carriers for losses several times during the Utah home event. Playing end, "Nellie taught the Buffs to work the other side and then at times flashed over thataway too to plaster the carrier. He received the Standard - Examiner go 1 d watch for outstanding athlete at Ogden high. Derald Monson, son of Leland H. Monson of the faculty? is back in town and planning to continue his schooling after serving his second stretch in military service. While serving with the air force in 1948 he was a boxing sensation in the welterweight section. In Ogden city schools he was an outstanding runner. This year in France, again with the air force, he won the two-mile race in the all U. S. army competition in France.
