Conference Plans its Annual Contest Schedule "Boise stays in the conference" was the big news of the annual winter meeting of the Intermoun-tain Collegiate Athletic Conference in Ogden this month. The Broncs, who usually overpower conference football foes, had trouble getting enough teams to play them in 1952 when they had only three league games. But next year they will not have so much trouble, since Weber, Westminster and Ricks agreed to play them, and the Branch Aggies and Carbon may play them if their schedules permit. Anyway, the conference officials voted to let Boise win the championship again, if she is able, on the basis of only three league contests.Weber will host the second annual ski tournament again this winter. No definite date can be set until officials of the Intermoun-tain Ski Association are consulted. A combined wrestling and boxing tourney will be held at Branch Aggies in Cedar City some time in February. Then on May 8 Westminster will host the annual track and field meet. Tennis will also be played at that time. The 1953 baseball schedule will be announced at a later date. Wishing You A Merry Christmas And A Successful New Year S9 24 2305 Washington Boulevard 't Snow College Game Is First ICAC Contest Snow college Badgers will be the Wildcats' opponents in the first Ogden basketball game of the I. C. A. C. on the local floor Dec. 30. The game should attract considerable interest because it will bring together two leading teams of the conference who have just followed out different schemes in conditioning themselves for the season. Snow conditioned itself by competing in the fiery Branch Agricultural college tournament last week and placed sixth and lost the consolation prize to Westminster Parsons, 61 to 48. Mightiest team in the conference last year, the host Branch Aggies, ended up in third place behind Compton of California, first place winner, and Chaffey, second place. Meanwhile Weber tried the road trip plan of honing up aconference-winning edge. A run of games against finest casaba teams of the Northwest resulted mostly in losses, chiefly by relatively narrow margins. These defeats, however, can be taken philosophically by the home fans since road trips are known to be the hardest type of competition for the traveling basketball-ers. At any rate, the main hope of the trip was to get a line-up on a winning Weber combination for more serious play and to get the boys into hard physical condition. In a game with Oregon Tech, the Tech team needed a second-half rally to up-end Weber 75 to 67. Ron Lowder garnered 13 points. Weber took the second Kalani Named For Hula Bowl By ED ST. CLAIR That talented ex-Weber man, Charles Kalani, left Saturday to play in the Hula Bowl at Honolulu. Kalani, who is also an excellent boxer, has had four contracts offered him in professional pigskin circles. But he will not do anything about them until after the Hula Bowl. This writer is sorta peeved at the I. C. A. C. It seems that certain panty-waists were afraid that Boise's football team might win too many games. There was talk of Boise being asked to withdraw from the conference. This kind of chatter is an injustice to a great football team, and furthermore it is bad sportsmanship on the part of certain persons connected with the conference. If a team is good enough to win, let it win without stigma being attached.I say more power to the standouts of the I. C. A. C. Weber returned from the Northwest basketball wars a tired but more experienced team.

The Wildcats moved to Portland State and were tamed 58 to 46. Bob Nish and Lew Wright led Weber scoring with eight points apiece. The next night the weary Weber crew was drubbed by Grays Harbor college of Washing ton 63 to 43, with Paul Furlong hitting the boards for nine points for Weber. Olympic college stalled the last four minutes to edge the Weber boys 68 to 65. Lowder paced Weber with 25 points. The next night the story went the same way, only more so, when Olympic took the game 72 to 60, with Lowder again leading the locals with 16 points.

It gave Dr. Swenson a chance to see his players in action under conditions more severe than any they are likely to meet during the remainder of the season's play. It will be remembered that Weber was at a great disadvantage during the trip.
