Show Thinclads Hope For Championship Team Weber College is expected to move out of its usual spot as a second division team into a top contender for the I.C.A.C. track and field championship this spring. With four returning lettermen and four outstanding freshmen on the team, coach Ray Rhead expects the Wildcats to pick up top points in all the events. COACH RHEAD HAS four out of six of last year's top point getters back to see action this year. Heading the list is Wayne Olsen, an athlete who placed second in the national meet in the high jump and third in the pole vault. Wayne also placed in the 300-yard dash and broadjump at the I.C.A.C. meet last year. Ray Schlupp, the third best javelin thrower at the National Junior College meet last year, is expected to hold some intermountain records' at the close of this year's competition. LAM Alt ISRADSHAW, first in broadjump, and Charles Hislop, third in the mile and two mile at the I.C.A.C. meet last year, should be hard to beat in their respective events this year. Four of the Wildcats' outstanding newcomers are Newel Ajider-son, Abe Booker, Vic Durbano, and Carl Holmes. Anderson and Booker have been throwing the shot put and discus a country mile this spring. Durbano, one of Utah's best high school high jumper and hurdler, has looked excellent in his workouts thus far. Carl Holmes, having run the 880 in a flashy time of 2:04.5, will be one of the top point getters. He will also run the mile. OTHER POTENTIAL point getters are Gary Plyer, Allen Baczuk, Gary Peterson, and Steve Meacham, javelin; Toni Bair, and Ralph Fer-geson, 4 10-yard dash; Mark Price, pole valt; and Gary Jensen, broadjump.The track schedule is: April 33, Northwest Nazarene Invitational at Nampa, Idaho. April 20, BYU Invitational at Provo. April 20, Weber College Invitational at Ogden. May 10, I.C.A.C. Meet at Cedar City. May 17 and 18, N. J. C. Meet at Hutchinson, Kansas.

Swenson has stepped down as basketball coach to devote his time to directing details of the million dollar gymnasium it is a good time to dwell on some likely candidates for his job if they want it. NOTIFICATION TO UTAH COACHES of the Weber vacancy has been made through the newspapers, and letters have probably been sent out to likely prospects in other states who have friends on campus. Some of the local coaches and Weber alumni who will draw considerable thought if they apply for the post are Mark Ballif, Monte Bailey, Paul Salvo, Darrell Hughes, Don Jesperson, Darrel Tucker and a number ot others. MARK BALLIF has had marked success at Ogden High in the past two years and sporatic luck in years before that. In 1055 and 1950 two of his most successful years, Ballif has lost only one league game. Although his class "A" tourney record at Ogden High has been without a championship, Ballif has a college system. The Tigers shifting zone defense has worked amazingly well on the spacious Ogden floor and the Og-nffonso with its complicated shooting patterns is probably better suited to college ball. OUT AT WEBER HIGH, Paul Salvo, a relative newcomer to the Utah high school ranks, brought his team along all year and by the time the final gun sounded in the state tournament manyod-felt- Salvo's Weber team was second only to the champion South High (Jubs. weDer piayeu South off its feet m tne urst tournament game only to lose by a few points. Then the warriors came back to win the Consolation champ-innshin while the Cubs went on to win the championship. It was Salvo's first senior high school basketball team. MONTE BAILEY at Ben Lomond High has used a deflated basketball in practice to make his teams some of the best passing in the state. Gleaned of material last year, the Scots had a rough season but given a chance to proselyte, the smooth talking Ben Lomond coach could probably per- By Larry Tomlinson saude a lot of talent Weber's way. riarrell Fhifhes needs no intro ductions to Northern Utah basketball fans. The venerable Bear River coach has been in the state class "A" tournament practically every year. A hard work horse, Hughes might be the disciplinarian neeueu t the most out of the thinly manned Weber squads. ANOTHER PROSPECT is Don Jesperson coach at East High in Salt Lake and a former Weber College and Utah University basketball star. Down at Granite High Darrel Tucker is breaking in as a coach. He was another local boy who made good. Tucker was one of the AC's greatest scorers in his playing days. No matter who he is, Coach Swenson's replacement will have to go some to beat the record chalked up by Swenson over the past 24 years. In 1!: the "Coach" took over basketball chores at Weber. During that time Weber's enrollment has grown from 400 to 1,400. His teams have copped the conference . championship six times, the Intermountain AAU title twice and have won the Region IV Four- State Tournament three times. DURING the PAST two years while Weber teams have had rather mediocre seasons, the Wildcats have never failed to "put out" with 100 per cent eiiort. Never a bombastic leader, the Coach somehow managed to install q -Ko-Mintr snirit into his teams without the locker room pep talk or the screaming towel waving which goes on from the sidelines these days.
