Show December 14, 1932 THE WEBER HERALD Page Five Basketball Tryouts Begin With Intra - Mural Tournament Championship Quint Looms With Return of Four Veterans and Abundance of New Material. Sheffield In Charge During Absence of Steve. Forget that Weber dropped her tenth consecutive grid championship to Ricks by a one-point margin and prepare to see the Purple and Whit6 hoisted to the highest for the first time in the 1933 basketball race. If an abundance of high-class materia can be taken as a fair indication, nothing this side of North Punahou can stop the Wildcats from clawing to the front of the J. C. court parade. Returning from the sensational freshman varsity five of last season are three regulars, Joe Chandler, center; West Lindsay, forward; and Sid Stewart, guard. Hansen, forward, and Killian, guard, the other regulars of '32, are not in school, but Tad Sorenson, first substitute forward, is back. Dixon Kapple, Coach of the state-champion Ogden High Tigers and Mark Baliff, mentor of the state runner-up Weber High Warriors, decided to keep talent in the old home town by each sending to W. C. a pair of their last year's stars. Joe Fowler, All-State guard, and Harm Williams, sub-guard, are the O. H. S. contribution while Ed Wade, second team AU-Statecenter-guard, and Glen Grcenwell, guarding team mate of Wade, are the county school's donation.

Al Warden Al Warden, Ogden Standard-Examiner Sports Editor, in a letter to President Tracy . . . "Ogden and the state of Utah can be proud of the Weber football team of 1932. They surely demonstrated a world of intestinal fortitude in battling one of the strong teams of the coast to a standstill in two periods of play, finally bowing 20 to 0. It was a marvelous comeback one of the greatest I have ever witnessed in 16 years of news-. peper work. Members of the team i and Coach Merlon Scvenson de- j serve a world of credit for repre- senting Utah in such a fitting manner on the coast." Dud DeGroot Dud DeGroot, San Jose State Coach, in a San Jose Mercury-Herald article sent to President Tracy by the secretary of the California Pal's Club . . . "In my opinion the Weber College football team gave the finest exhibition of intestinal fortitude and courage that a San Jose crowd will ever witness on the gridiron." "The Weber team and band left Ogden, Utah, Monday night by bus for California, every member of the party in the very best of health and spirits. Either in Reno or somewhere between there and California the dread "flu" germ was picked up and by the time the party reached Santa Rosa more than half of the party had contracted the epidemic. Ten of the first team stayed in bed during the Santa Rosa game leaving the second and third string the difficult task of carrying on. Immediately following the game most of the party came on to San Jose where our team physician, Dr. Trel-fall, immediately got on the job and by persistent treatment accomplished such wonderful results that every first string man but one vas able to safely start the game against the Spartans. But of course it was not safe for them to play through a complete game of football after such a harrowing and strength taking experience." Joe Bonacina Joseph A. Ronacina, Sports Editor of the San lose Murcury-Herald. . . .
