Although the Mavericks ol Mesa eaptnred the HVU1 title, Weber gridders gained the taney and adjaiiratlon of rival players and eoaehes. As compared with Mesa's three nll-eonterenee men. Weber gained the distraction Of placing four. FtaWSOn Chllds, Weber end missed the hrst team berth bv a very narrow margin, placing on the second learn. lA'ank Eterghmd was a choice for the first team tackle post. Jack Thomas Rained the pivot post, and- h result of polling the most votes of any single player, was named eaptain of the all-star team. Alan Christiansen and Glen Clark, quarterback and fullback respectively, were given posts In the baekfield. Ray Freeman wns given quarterback position on the second team. With the placing of four men on the annual all eonference team and two on the second team along with whipping two of the nation's best J. C. football teams, the Wildcats bring to a close an enviable football season. The Wildcats started the season by playing a thriller with Western States College Teachers. Weber men outplayed and outfought the heavier, more rugged W. S. team until the last 50 seconds of the game when Western States pulled a trick pass that brought to them the six precious points needed for a victory. To aid in putting the game on ice they place kicked the extra point to take a 9 to 7 lead and the game. National Recognition The following week the Purple and White machine achieved a somewhat impossible task by trouncing the invincible Pasadena Bulldogs. A feat 18 consecutive teams had failed to accomplish. This game alone gave W. C. gridders national recognition. he equally divided among the entire squad. Those who gained individual honors were Capt. Jack Thomas, Glen Clarke, Allen Chrlstensen, Frank Berglund, Ray Freeman, and Rawson Childs. It was Captain Jack Thomas that gavo Weber six points against ras.ulena by pouncing on tho free ball in tho end zone. He aided materially in many other scores. Glen Clarke, our big, kicking fullback, added several extra points that spelled victory for his teammates in several games. Ray Freeman and Alan Christiansen passed and run their opponents dizzy behind the timely blocking of Berglund and Childs. Wrestlers Join Jaysee League This year the wrestling team is again in the Jaysee league. Two years ago Weber was the league champion Coach Davis says, "The fellows are really going into training 'tooth and nail'." Training started Monday with sixteen participants turning out. This is the equivalent of two teams. There are several trips planned, FIRST TEAM Po s. SECOND TEAM Bill Simmons, Mesa e . . .

Then came the only letdown of the entire season when two weeks later an over-confident Wildcat team fell before a comparatively inferior Rexburg eleven. After recovering their wits the team traveled to Grand Junction, Colo., to hand the final conference championship winner, Mesa, a 6 to 0 setback. The Davis men now on their feet were never halted again. In succession they downed B. A. C, Westminstter and Dixie in games that appeared more like track meets than a grid battle. The gridders left the Albion Panthers feeling very well off to have gained a 6-6 tie in a very hard-fought battle. Suicide Jaunt The last leg of the season's schedule was a so-called suicide jaunt playing three games in eight days and traveling through three states. The first game of the series was played on a muddy gridiron at Thatcher, Ariz., where the Cats fought the heavier Gila Monsters to a scoreless tie. Suicide Jaunt After a three-day rest the Wildcats again lashed their cvlaws to bring down another much touted clan of gridders, this one being one of the nation's best, Riverside, Calif., J. C. After an exhibition of razzle dazzle football the Davis team finally bowled over the Cali-fornianites 21-19. To end the season and the trip our pride of the gridiron stopped at St. George long enough to turn the second half of the game with the Dixie Fliers into a track meet, in handing them a sound trouncing.The real success of our team can emong which are trips to Mesa, Westminster, and Southern Branch. Coach Davis is putting out a general call for the smaller fellows. "They are just as important as the big bruisers." Four lettermen are returning to fight for Weber. Bob Preshaw, 123 pounds, went to the semi-finals in the A. A. U. last year. Peter Kranenberg, 175 pounds, won his letter. Don Hatch won the A. A. U. championship in the unlimited heavyweight group. Tom Lawson. 145 pounds, won his letter last year. A lasting peace cannot be established except by reparation of the injustices which force has imposed on Austria, Czechoslovakia, and Poland. President Albert Lebrun of France.
