Jennie Lossee, LeM High School Sports RoModnap Lehi Pioneers pressed ever onward in extending the Purple and Whites fame during 1952 as they participated in football, basketball, track, baseball and tennis. Something new in the way of sports was introduced this year when girls physical education classes were seen running football plays with the finesse of near But more about professionals. that later. Football Lehi began the 1952 season under veteran mentor Dean Prior with a lot of enthusism but little in the way of experience. Last years starting team to a man graduated leaving a nucleus of semiregulars around which to , build the 1952 team. Led by Max Scott and Suburo Okumura Lehi finished season play with a creditable 3 won 2 lost 2 tied record. The Pioneers won plaudits for their outstanding defensive play as a green line showed unexpected power. The backfield was hamstrung by injuries most of the season with the starting backfield of Tony Peck, Max Scott, Bert Carlson and Knollin Haws taking turns on the sidelines nursing injuries. Potentially one of the strongest ball packing crews in the state, the Pioneers excelled against odds. Lehi scared B. Y. High before in the final game yielding 13-1- 2 of the season as the highly-toute- d Wildcats for the State Class "B" title, only to lose by a single point. Max Scott, Gary Holmes, Suburo Okumura and John Jolley serated mention in lections. At the annual fotball banquet Carl Hadfield and Gordon Smith were elected for next year. The scheduling of night games was a pleasing development this year with two early season contests played under the lights. Girls' Football "It'll be an smash on 2, Mable." "All right, Gertrude, watch that left hand though; she's been messing up our line plays off the weak side." Open mouthed Lehi sports fans watched girls physical education classes run intricate through single wing, and modified double wing formations in touch football scrimmages. Introduced by physical education Instructor Helen Chapman for the purpose pf acquainting the weaker sex with the fundamentals of football that they might enjoy the games more, the girls mixed skull practice with exercise and gave evidence of a pretty fair knowledge of the game. Basketball Under Coach L. K. Peterson Lehi's basketball team caught the fancy of the whole region early in 1952 as they racked up four straight league wins to take first half honors hands down. Hustle and conditioning were vital in the Pioneers' surprising showing as overflow crowds packed the Lehi gym. Pioneers hit The a snag in the form of a severe leg injury to Norman Sims, team . playmaker and sparkplug, as the second got under way. Missing sorely the loss of the team's high scorer who saw limited action in but two games, the Purple and White passed out of the title picture in losing four league tilts.

Some 20 years ago Lehi's teams were the scourge of the county. Baseball play resumed in 1949 under the direction of Coach Earl Holmstead when Lehi became known as the "homeless waifs." Forced to practice at either Camp Williams or. a convenient pasture because of the lack of a local field, the Pioneers played all their "home" games at American Fork. Baseball faithfuls were given encouragement this year with' the news that the American Legion planned to spearhead a drive to field west construct a first-clas- s of town. Preliminary work got under way before the weatherman intervened. Under the direction of Coach Prior last year's squad helped clear an area near the city dump that provided Lehi with a temporary home field. Despite difficulties mentioned, the Pioneers posted a better than average record for the season. Tennis Perennially strong in tennis, Lehi High netters under the sup ervision of Coach Joseph S. Robi-so- n again notched an enviable achievement when Betty Smith captured first place in girls junior high singles in the Dixie Invitational Meet in St. George with Diana Robison nabbing second place in the senior high girls singles. In Alpine Day play Diana won the senior high girls singles with Betty duplicating her efforts the junior division. The Lehi netters also took second place, in doubles in senior high competition. While the girls won the lion'F share of tennis awards this year, the boys were not without honor as they ran second in Alpine Division play, and qualified men for all classes of competition in regional competition. is Webb, Mrs. Edith Singleton, Mrs. Byron Whipple, Mrs. Frank W.
