Show r Sports -Seeing With Dean t4 J! By Sportcaster Dean Bennett The interest of other schools In the new Western Athletic Conference is beginning to intensify in-tensify now that the new league lea-gue is about to become a reality. real-ity. Some schools are simply standing by and making loud noises about joining the league, lea-gue, why aren't we included, how come we were left out, and so forth. Others are going go-ing about it in a subtler, more convincing way, like scheduling schedul-ing games with all the new league members possible, exchanging ex-changing dates with member schools In as many sports as possible, flooding the sports writers and reporters with background information on the school's athletic tearms, etc. What are the chances of the league's expansion in the near future? Not much, as far as w ! can find out. Utah State, somewhat indignant in-dignant at being left out when they are natural area associates associ-ates of Utah and BYU, and New Mexico State at Las Cruces are probably the most likely entrants in case the Northwest schools, Oregon, Oregon State and Washington State don't come in. But others. . . Sam Jose State University of Pacific to name Just a couple, are distinct possibilities. pos-sibilities. We don't think the Northwest North-west schools will join the WAC, despite the strong movement underway for just such a thing. We're in favor . others both in the Mountain country and in the Northwest are in favor ... but there Is too big a split in the Oregon groups to swing the movement toward the WAC. Some die-hards die-hards are still singing the strains of reconciliation with the old PCC members, and right now, that has just about as much chance of coming around as the WAC affiliation. Look for the WAC to swing Into gear in July with it's WORLD'S LARGEST MOST TRUSTED MOVERS BAILEY MOVING and STORAGE .Repreitntmjr ..ALLIED VAN LINES- Ph. AC 5-4545 1580 South State, Orem present 6 members. And only after one or two years of experimentation ex-perimentation will expansion become a serious subject with present league members. The hottest track team in the past 7 years. . . yet, in four tries this season, the BYU Cougars haven't won a meet yet But never fear, they're still the team to beat for this last skyline conference crown. The Cougars have lost three meets to their annual springtime spring-time opponents, Arizona, Arizona Ari-zona State and New Mexico, and one to newcomer to the schedule, Oregon. The fact that the Arizona losses were extremely ex-tremely close gives rise to the hope that some of our spring sports won't be so far out of balance in the new league as at first thought. Baseball. . . tennis. . . . track and field. .. all have looked to be mediocre in past competition com-petition with the southern clubs But you have to stop and realize that the warm weather, year around, Arizona and New Mexico gives them the natural opportunity of getting two or three extra months of early spring sport training which makes quite a difference differ-ence when your team is in it's first outing of the year and the opposition in it's 10th or 20th. Utah's tennis, baseball and track fared only fair in competition com-petition with the Arizona schools. BYTTs track did much better, their baseball somewhat some-what better. Now, with 4 losses loss-es behind them, the Cougar thinclads are ready to enter league competition this weekend week-end against Montana. Watcn for the Cats to start winning after their early season training train-ing is out of the way. Just ove a week ago, BYU handed out it's annual awards in athletics. And the biggest, most sought after award went not to a BYU athlete, but to one of the greats from one ot their most competitive opponents. op-ponents. . . Merlin Olsen of Utah State. The Dale Rex Award for the person doing most to further athletics in the state of Utah during the past year is truly an award to seek after. Though no one actually goes out to win the award for himself him-self in the beginning. Merlin was a natural. An outstanding All - American athlete. . . top student in his classes (A grade, a gentlemen in every way. He was very humble in receiving this award and in accepting the congratulations of many that followed. He probably has done as, much as anyone in the past year for Utah athletics with his fine representation repre-sentation of USU as a football player. Out congratulations are in order too. Others who were honored were Bruce Burton in BYU Basketball, Eldon Fortie In football and Guy DeHart a the top BYU Athlete-Scholar. DeHart came from the track sauad where he is a crack middle-distance runner. Spring Sports Carnival at 'Y Begins April 26 All the extensive preparations prepar-ations necessary for hosting more than 2,000 contestants in a spring sports carnival were underway at BYU this week as officials went to work on advanced ad-vanced phases of the annual Invitational meet. Earlier this month invitations invit-ations to the 49th annual Invitational In-vitational Track and Field Meet were mailed to schools within a 400-mile radius of Provo. Junior high, high school and junior college performers will be mailed official entry blanks this week. A little less than two weeks remain before the first of over 120 events Is scheduled to be-ggin be-ggin In Provo. The huge meet will get underway April 2a with the start of tennis competition com-petition for junior high school contestants. The three-day meet is set for April 26, 27, and 28. Besides Be-sides the usual track and fieia events, there will be competition competi-tion in golf, tennis, plus a special marching demonstration demonstr-ation by pep units from visiting visit-ing schools. Slowed by three straight years of poor weather, the forthcoming meet should produce pro-duce some record performances performan-ces by the contestants. Unfavorable Un-favorable weather conditions have hurt the performances of some of the West's finest athletes ath-letes in recent years. While countless numbers of medals and trophies will be awarded during the three days the meet is in operation, tne most sought-after award will be In the all-around event. This two-day event for high school entrants will send contestants con-testants through 10 events. The performer with the best marks and times will be crown ed all-around champion. Spring Football In Full Swing Now at Y Stadium Brigham Young University's football team, nine days deep in the current spring practice, is progressing according to schedule with a normal attrition at-trition rate for off-season training. Such was the report Friday Fri-day by head coach Hal Mitchell Mit-chell and his staff as they neared the half-way mark In gridiron drills which began two weeks ago. Of the 100 players in uni form on the opening day of practice, about 70 are still going go-ing strong.'. There are enough varsity candidates to organize organ-ize six complete units, plus a few extra players to spare. At this stage of the game, Mitchell Is still somewhat noncommittal about the. pros-' pects for this year's squad, although al-though he indicated the outlook out-look was much better than It was in 1961. "There are some positions, of course, which are stronger than others," noted Mitchell, "but It appears we will have much better depth than we had last year." Under the present practice system the players have been placed in one of two daily practice sessions. One group reports at 2:45 and a second one at 4:20. On certain days, however, they meet together' Ptcm-QcHCva Times By DICK WOLFF Marine anglers are digging (literally) out the tackle from the debris of their homes with high hopes for a good season. Why not? If a storm produces good surf fishing a tidal wave such as recently hit the Atlantic Atlan-tic coast should really do the trick. Another tidal wave is sweeping: Congress, too. Surf clubs and anglers from twenty coastal states may finally get some recognition recogni-tion by way of a national salt water fish research program. Appeals to the House and Senate appro priations committees w put up 15 cents for every dollar dol-lar authorized in 1959, may get some attention this year. The hope for results will Include work on coastal coast-al pollution and protection of some coastal marshlands to save an already diminishing dimin-ishing fish population. A new lure by Garcia makes sense. The Abu Hl-Lo comes with an adjustable lip that holds six depth control positions from surface to very deep. It come3 in four colors and can replace half a dozen individual plugs to save tackle box room and cash. It sells for under a deuce. . Fishing deep Is the word for the April opening of the nation's trout streams, if you read the Farmer's Almanac A slow spring is predicted. That means cool waters with the fish hug-Sing hug-Sing the bottom. Bass fish ermen can expect a long or delayed spawning period. If you're in the market for a new reel to open the season, take a . look at the new Abu 505 "Auto-Spin". A below the rod reel, it requires no lifting of line and has no bail. A touch control iisc lets you concentrate concen-trate on sport fishing without worries of line release and timing. Inland fishing may be in for a big push by the Interior In-terior Department. New hatcheries, bigger stocking programs, more reallstio conservation policies, and new right-of-ways to lakes and streams are all part of the Outdoor Recreation and Resources Review Commission's Commis-sion's report to the Pres-' ident. The report cites "improved "im-proved fishing" as one of its major objectives. Interior Inter-ior will be given the job of making it work. And, Secretary Udall is an angler an-gler and outdoor sportsman. for practice scrimmage. Players are still fighting for positions on the various units.

Thacker's r e c o rd-breaking rd-breaking broad jump at the Snow College Invitational track meet featured a week of Orem High sports activities. Although the baseball team suffered a somewhat humilia ting defeat, the tennis and track teams had a very good week as the spring sports got into full swing. Thacker's record broad jump was 21 feet, 8 and one half inches, and although it was illegal il-legal (It was very evident 'that he was flying, not jumping), it will nevertheless, be recorded as a record. The powerful Orem track team, backed up Thacker as they took second place among the Class A schools and tied for second overall. In tennis, Orem came up with a second place in both the doubles and the singles at the meet. Alan Grofe worked his way up to the final round where he met up with a guy named Mike Martines, who is rapidly becoming famous for his amazing tennis skills.
