Show Page 4 SIGNPOST October 28, 1960 Slau Weber Worst Defeat ahfers Rebels For In Three Years Weber College, displayed its most potent attack in many years, scored on the first play of the game and then went on to whip the Rebels of Dixie College at St. George last week, 47-12. This score was the highest piled up by a Weber team in many seasons and the most ever compiled during the Wally Nalder-coached year. Ground Game The Wildcats stayed mainly on the ground as they ran through, over and around the Rebels. Coach Nalder used mostly reserves from the middle of the second period on, and the reserves also had a hand in the rout with two second half touchdowns. The victory evened Weber's record for the season at 3-3 and their ICAC mark at 1-1. The Wildcat's were stopped only by penalties. In all, Weber was penalized 89 yards, while two other Boise Story Three years ago the wire service printed a story about the Boise School's board members were up in the air as to what to do about finding tougher competition. It was talking about upgrading the college to a four-year school and also downgrading its football club. One board member said "Unless stiffer competition was scheduled there would have to be a leveling off of the team." When asked to elaborate on what he meant by leveling off, the board member added, "We feel that we either have to get better competition .or not have a good team. Boise has too good a team for the type competition we have been getting. Possibly we have been building too strong a team for the clubs we are playing." The year after this statement was made, the Broncos went on to win the National Junior College Championship. Then last year it appeared as though the word had been passed along for the Broncos to De-emphasize the fall sport. For during the 1959 season the Broncos lost two games, tied one and missed its first ICAC football championship since the conference was formed. But after watching the 1960 Broncos in action, it is evident that the de-emphasis talk didn't materialize. The Broncos have come up with another powerhouse and appear to be on their way to another ICAC footballchampionship. penalties totaling 20 yards were refused. The Rebels were penalized 35 yards, 30 of those coming in the final minutes of the contest. Statistics In statistics, Weber totaled 15 first downs compared to 11 for the home club. The Wildcat's completed three of nine passes for 82 yards, while Dixie hit on three of eight, good for only 19 yards. In net rushing from scrimmage, Weber gained more than twice as many yards 309 to 147. Weber scored on the first scrimmage play of the game. After taking over after the kickoff on the. Weber 40, Lynn Smith hit speedy halfback Ken Cullar.s straight down the middle with a long pass and Cullars took the ball on the Dixie 25 to score standing up Quarterback Smith then kicked the extra point to give the Wildcats a quick 7-0 lead, from which they were never deterred. The second Weber Touchdown came with the game less than three minutes old. On Dixie's first play from scrimmage, Darl Smith, who played a brilliant defensive 'fame, scooped up a Dixie fumble, on the Rebel's 30 and nan it back to the 18. Terry VanVleet and Dennis Kanter carried it to the one where VanVleet carried for the TD. A bad pass from center resulted in a failure on the try for point. Then Dixie appeared as though it was going to make a game of it as they scored with two minutes remaining in the first quarter. A pass interception gave the Southern Utah boys the ball on the Weber 46. Pour first downs moved the ball to the Weber one yard line where Quarterback Max Jones sneaked over. The conversion attempt was blocked. Cullars Sensational Cullars then turned in another sensational play as he took the Dixie kickoff on the 10, hesitated, then broke to his left and down the sidelines behind some excellent blocking for 90 yards and the third Weber touchdown. Smith's kick was again good as the first quarter ended with the Wildcat's holding a 20-6 lead. The fourth touchdown followed a 67-yard drive with VanVleet, Lynn Corbridge, and Smith carrying most of the load. Smith sneaked over from the two, then converted to increase the lead to 27-6. With time running out in the first half, Dixie took to the air in a desperate effort to get back in the ball game. But Dennis Kanter picked off a Rebel aerial on the Dixie 37 and ran it back for a Wildcat score. The try for point was again successful as the Wild cats took a 34-7 halftime lead.

This time the attempted conversion was blocked for a score of 40-7. In the fourth quarter, the reserve backfield combination of Dennis Wood, Curtis Wilker, Earl Blonquist and Kent Phillips teamed up for a 76-yard scoring drive which was climaxed as Blonquist plowed oyer from the one. The conversion was good to close out the Wildcat's scoring and make the score 47-6. With Weber's third defensive unit in the ball game, Dixie scored with loss than two minutes remaining on a drive covering 65 yards. Ken Shulsen scored from the one. Worst Defeat The Dixie defeat was the worst orf a Rebel team since they lost to Boise three years ago by a whopping score of 72-6. The defeat also knocked the Rebels out of second place in the ICAC standings.Score by quarters: Weber 20 14 6 7 47 Dixie 6 0 0 6 12 Scoring: Weber Cullars 60 yd. pass from Smith (Smith kick).

BOC Discusses Statue's New Hue The weekly meeting of the Board of Control was side-tracked from normal issues by the change in color of Louis F. Moench. The statue was painted a dull red over the weekend. Although the situation was humorous to many, it will cost a large sum of money to have Moench looking like himself again. The Board expressed its disapproval and hoped that this was not the work of a I college student. Weber Looks For Second ICAC Win After their most impressive victory in several seasons last week, the Weber College Wildcats resumed practice Monday for tomorrow's game with Ricks Viking of Rexburg, Idaho. The Wildcats scored almost at will at St. George last week as the steam-rolled to a 47-12 nout over the Dixie College Rebels. Weber now has a 1-1 mark in ICAC play and a 3-3 record for the over-all season play. Little Hope The Wildcats, with little hope of winning a second straight conference crown, have their sight set on a second place finish. After the Ricks game this week, they will have to play Snow College of Southern Utah, and Carbon, all league games. They will be on the road for the Snow and Carbon contests. Ricks, although it doesn't have an impressive record, is always at its best for Weber. Last year the Wildcats went to Rexburg a heavy favorite and were pressed to the limit in edging the Vikings, 14-7. Ricks showed it can win on the road as it went into its game with Snow last week at Ephriam and pulled out a victory with a touchdown on the final play of the game. No Injuries Weber came out of the Dixie game with no injuries. Two players who missed the game quarterback Mike Burke and end Brent Brown should be ready for Ricks. Both suited up at St. George, but were not used. Brown is suffering from a hip bruse while Burke sprained an ankle during workout last week. College of Southern Utah appears to be the only team with a chance of stopping Boise in conference play. The Southern eleven host the Broncos at Cedar City this week. CSU looked good last week as it soundly whipped Snow, 25-6, at Ephriam and should be fired up for an upset in the Boise game. I'd Like To See . . . Casey Stengle get the job to manage the Giants next year. Then win the National League pennant. Have the Yankees win the American League pennant. And see Casey cop the series! College football go "sudden death". The pros are taking over. Colleges need a shot in the arm Eliminating ties might be the answer. Another Rocky Marciano. Another fullback like Doc Blan-chard.Another horse like Native Dancer And another pair of "green" sunglasses. |
