C A After three days of racing the Westminster Ski Team brought home a third place victory won at the Intercollegiate meet sponsored by Brigham Young University. The meet was held at Timp Haven Ski Area, February and 11 and was the first intercollegiate race tne newiy formed Westminster Ski Team has participated in. Five schools were represented. They - were the University of Utah, Brigham Young University, Westminster College, Ricks CoUege and Snow College. The University of Utah took an early lead Thursday in the long and very rough Giant Slalom set by Junior Bounous, then followed B. Y. U. with Westminster close behind. Ricks College who has had a strong team for many 10 9, years followed Westminster after Thursdays race by only a few seconds. Friday's race was afastdown-hi- U where skiers reached speeds up to 60 mph. At the beginning of this race it looked as though Westminster might overtake the strong Brigham Young team; however a few bad falls put the Parsons back into third place with the University of Utah finishing first. Saturdays contest was the Slalom. Junior Bounous, Timp Havens Ski School director set two slalom courses of over (50) fifty gates each on T bar Timp Havens steep hill. After the first slalom, the University of Utah was leading. Westminster and B. Y. U. were very close and both teams fought for second place in the second slalom. During the second slalom several Parsons were disqualified due to missed gates and B. Y. U. held onto the second R place. This race was won individually by Paul Beesley of Ricks The College who had two runs. won the of Utah race, University D e. team-wis- Late Saturday afternoon B.Y.U. officials announced that the Un- N 616 So.

All in all, seven or eight people have been getting most of the credit by the papers. People never hear about the most important part of the team; the bench. These are the feUows who go to practice every day and work hard to keep the team as a whole in good shape, and to keep the team sharp. They dont get to play in games a great deal, but they get to be part of the team. They sit on the bench and share the same feelings as those who are playing. They feel defeat in the same way as the players who have put out their .whole effort in order for the team to win. When someone fouls out in the last five minutes of a tight game, they become silent. They wonder, Who will the coach put in? Will it be me? They wait in anxious anticipation half hoping they will be called to service, and half hoping the coach wiU rely on someone else. The big fear is that, The coach will call my name. He will peel off the warm up clothes, check in at the desk, and clumsily walk onto the floor with the clapping of the fans ringing in his ears. He looks confident but feels as though he is going up before a firing squad. The terrible thing is, he has to wait for the foul shots to be taken before he gets a chance to play. As soon as the game resumes, B.Y.U. second, Westminster College third, Ricks College fourth, and Snow College last. Westminster College can and should be proud of this ski team victory. Not only was this their first intercollegiate meet but they were competing with varsity teams of more experience from much larger schools and even so the competition was tough and close right up to the very end. Special notice goes to Dick Robinson, who finished in first place of the Westminster team in all three events, Dave Sam CoUett, Bob Mark-osia- n, Tom McNamara and Bob Nowles. Ron-ning- er, the feeling of nervousness is forgotten. He also forgets about making a fool of himself, and he' plays ball. His closest watchers are those who are stiU on the bench and havent played. They watch every move and wonder, What and how would I be doing if the coach had called my name instead of his? Would I look as confident as he does or would I be left feet and thumbs? The bench watches because he is one of their boys. He is one who also wears out the seat of his pants and hollers at the team. The Joe College is the bench warmer. He loves the game, and to him, the game usually consists' of practice every day, going on trips, and warm up before the , start of each game. Imagine what kind of a team there would be if everyone thought, What the heck, I never get to play unless someone fouls out or unless we are either so far ahead or behind that I cant make any difference. These are the fellows who really make the team. They are the ones who can make a good or a bad season. Everyone playing has to feel the influence of The Team. My high school coach, Al Glanders graduated from Westminster, and he said, It takes a lot of guts to ride the bench. If you have the guts to do this, then I know I can depend on you in a game. Hang tough bench, you and Coach Stenkie have made a great team this year and you have my admiration and that of the rest of the school.
