Show Page 4 SIGXPOST November 25, 1953 Homecoming Cats Weber College came from behind to tie Utah State frosh at Weber's Saturday homecoming game, 27 to 27. Early in the first period, before a small crowd, the Aggies took a punt on the Weber 40 yard line andWent all the way behind beautiful blocking. The try for the extra point was no good, and the Aggies took an early lead of 6-0. Roger Cook intercepted an Aggie pass and ran it back to the mid-field. Tom Musgrave then passed to Sid Wyatt and the quarter ended with the Cats on the visitors' 20. On the next play a pass to Dale Young, interference was ruled and Weber had a first down on the four yard line. Tom Musgrave then passed to Gary Belnap for the score. Tarro split the uprights and the Wildcats had a 7 6 lead. After recovering a fumble, Weber scored again as Musgrave tossed to Wyatt for a total of 40 yards and a score. Mat Kaonai then passed to Young who was all alone' but couldn't hold it, and Weber led 13-6. With only 40 seconds remaining in the half, Kerns tried to punt from the end zone. A bad pass from center forced him to run and he was downed on the seven where the Aggies took over. After two passes were no good they ran it to the one yard line and from there Sobaski plunged over. The extra point was good, remaining the score 13-13 tie at the half. The second half opened with the Aggies recovering a Wildcat fumble and driving for 83 yards and another score. This score was featured by an aerial circus, with Zigler, the frosh quarterback completing six out of seven passes. The extra point was again good and the Aggies took over the lead again. Soon after the third quarter opened, Hunsaker took a handoff and galloped 70 yards for the fourth touchdown of the day for the blue and white. The extra point split even, and the Aggies had a commanding lead of 27-13. On the first play from scrimmage after the kickoff, Musgrave started the show going by hitting Doyle Huber on the visitors' 30. Tom Musgrave kept the ball on the quarterback sneak and scored for Weber. Tarro kicked for 2 and AC led by a touchdown. Dale Young then recovered an Aggie fumble on the Aggie 30 yard line. This put' Weber back in the game. Jim Swenson hit Cook with a running pass on the five yard line, who then went to the one yard line. Mat Kaonoai plunged over for the final touchdown of the game. The all important extra point was booted by Kerns and the game ended in a tie.

In the November issue of the NJCAA Bulletin, Weber's Reed K.

Swenson Heads Twentieth Weber College Team by Vance One of the most familiar faces around the campus is that of Dr. Reed K. Swenson. Coach Swenson is heading his twentieth basketball team on the Weber campus. Dr. Swenson obtained his B. S. degree from the BYU. He went to Southern California for his Master's, and then to University of Utah for his Doctor's degree. In the twenty years he has been at Weber, Coach Swenson has sent three teams to the National Junior College tournament at Hutchison, Kansas. The Region is divided into two divisions, Northern and Southern. Weber, Ricks, Boise and West minister comprise the Northern division. Each team plays the other four times during the season, and the winners of the divi sion play for the pennant. Teams going to the NJCAA tournament is decided by a playoff at Snow College. Conch Swenson has trained a lot of boys who have gone on to four year schools and really made names for themselves. Ken Ber-rett, Darrell Tucker and Bill Hull are only a few who are typical of this group. Dr. Swenson has trained Cluff Snow, who is coaching at Ogden High; Lynn Wilcox, coach at Davis; and Don Jesperson who is coaching at East High. Coach Swenson has high hopes for this year's basketball team. He believes that they will do better than last year's Wildcats. He has six lettermen returning and some fine material from the high schools.
