", 'Xi Jim News-Views These Men Give True Sport Values By Jim Every team, whether it be the varsity football squad or the hopscotch crew, has its different char acters. First, there is the athlete who appears to be a pillar of strength, c h a r a cter and ability. Many lines of print have been devot ed to this particular character and it is assumed to be him who leads his team to victory after victory. Another athlete you can find on any team is the one who doesn't have the press clipping that the aforementioned boy has but still almost everyone knows he is a member of the team. This chap works out daily and is seldom caught loafing. He tries, sometimes succeeds, but usually doesn't live up to his dreams. Tracksters Show Well at Nampa, BYU and Ricks Garnering points in five track and field events, Wildcat thinclads copped fourth place in the Nampa Invitational Track Meet held last week. Ron Smith racked up a first for Weber with a leap of 20 feet 10 inches in the broad jump. Other Weberites scoring were Eldon Marshall, second in both the pole vault and javelin. Russ Whit-taker took fourth in the low hurdles; Reese Quayle, fourth place in high hurdles, and Kent Jones ran fourth in the 880 run. Featuring teams from Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Utah, the meet attracted six ofur-year colleges, with Boise, the only two-year school other than Weber, finishing a dismal eighth. Whitman College of Walla Walla, Washington, took blue ribbon honors in the tourney, breaking many of the meet records in the process, reported "Doc" Anderson. At BYU, all above athletes placed except Smith and Jones, and Jerry Thompson captured second place honors in the half-mile. Weber tracksters also showed well at Ricks. Less Than Half Athletes Get Scholarships How many athletes are attending Weber College on athletic scholarships? Though it is generally believed to be a large number in comparison to others given in other fields at Weber College, the facts show that while more than 100 men participate in competitive athletics at Weber of this number less than half are awarded tuition Johnston WIN Freston Then there is that guy who fulfills the original purpose of athletics recreational enjoyment. He makes the work seem like play, and in general, makes a success of any sports reason though losing it may be. Things said and done by this character during practice sessions and especially during road trips are enough to leave lifelong impressions and pleasant memories of the close association and good times spent together instead of the fierce compe-tion and bitter defeats. This happy-go-lucky guy isn't the proverbial "goldbricker". He does his work like anyone else and he seldom is missing at practice time. It takes several hundred miles of road trips before you realize the great hidden values of the Hopfenbecks, Dawsons and Mus-graves. Not many lines of glorified print have been devoted to this type of athlete, but it is easy to realize that athletics would hardly be worthwhile without one of these guys around. Ball Crew Looks Great Weber's high-powered ball team is living up to all advance notices by clobbering everything in sight. Hapless Ricks was the last squad to test our cagey Cats and the now sore Vikings were clawed 27 times while registering only 5 tallies of their own. grants for their time and labor spent. Weber College will award approximately 190 scholarships next year. Of this number 40 athletic awards will be given. In the same category with athletics, talent awards totaling 47 will be given thus, bringing the combined talent awards to about half of the total scholarships given. The state legislature gave their approval to introduce 30 education scholarships in addition to the approximate total awards of previous years, boosting the number of awards to 190. Including awards in foreign language, 87 awards will be given for talents, 73 awards in scholarship and 30 for education will be given. CONGRATS TO . . . Watson Tanner's Student of the Week BILLY BELL V x i t Weber's highly touted baseball team, riding atop the league standings, will clash with Mesa Junior College Mavericks of Grand Junction, Colo., in a three-game inter-sectional series at Grand Junction Friday and Saturday.By virtue of Weber's convincing victories over Westminster and Ricks, the Cats will definitely be favored to capture at least two of the games and possibly all three. In blasting the Parsons, Weber scored an amazing total of 36 runs while the helpless Salt Lakers could manage only five tallies during the three-game set. There were 16 safeties blasted by Wildcats in the first game and 21 in the remaining tilts. Parsons were nearly hitless in the first two games as iron-man Jim Johnston kindled no-hit games until the final innings of the first tilt when he was knicked for one safety while winning, 11-1, and in the second game when he gave up a mere pair of hits. Weber's spectacular hitting was led by Bill Bell and Larry Jensen in the first game, played Friday, as each blasted out three base blows. The Neilson brothers, Reed and Vern, poled long homers in Monday's games at the Cats captured the double header 20-0 and 5-4, at Ricks, big Jim Johnston pitched 13 innings Friday to win both games 13-0 and 4-2. In the double header, the Cats featured their usual plate power as long base blows were recorded by many team members. Baty Morrison gained recogni' tion as another great Weber pitcher as he limited the Vikings to five scattered hits while winning, 10-3.
