The Smelterites are shooting for their third state championship and theft' eighth regional If this impressive title reign is to continue some green material will have to shoot mighty fast. ' Coach Allan Davis greeted five veteran performers and nine top sophomores this spring. He lost Joe Kennedy to South High and Art Hurzeler by graduation, two of the top point winners in state competition in 1948. The veterans he has returning however are good and with some help from the neophytes, Murray might make the grade. First Showing In its only appearance on the cinders this year, in a- dual meet with state defending Class A champion South High, Murray was held up strictly by the veterans. Out of 14 events, Jerry Nelson, hurdler; Dick Wirthlin, sprinter; Bob Johansen; Iniler, all veterans, and newcomer Branger won two events and placed in five others. Much of Murray's fortunes ride He won on Nelson's flying-Tee- t. the high hurdles against Soutth in creditable time of 111.5 and finished second in thç low hurdles and thir in the broadjump. Wirthlin will be one oi Murray's most potent as his performance has shown to date. He was and 220- second in the yard dashes against South. Last year he won the state title in the 100 in 10.2, and ran on the wing ning 880 relay team. Johansen, a veteran miler, won his specialty against South in 5:01.5,which is fair time but a long ways from the state winning time last year. Branger wu the onlyother man to break into the point column for Murray against South and he was second in the run. Dean AusUn, a top sprinter last year on the winning state 880-ya-rd relay and winner of dash, should Region 2's develop into a steady point-gett- er against this year. Reed Tranter, second in the state 880 yard event last year will come along for his share of digits also. Dale (Mender in the 440, another lettermen, completes the roster of Murray veteran strength.-- - There are 'certain manners of action of the Utah High that we can't quite understand.

It would seem that the UHSAA is in competition with the program. It just doesn't , add up to us and here's why. The pentathlon, conducted rightwithin the schools them. selves by their own teachers, their own directors, their own as a program for those young athletes principals,' who cannot make the prep teams. It is a system of competition that takes into consideration age, height and other handicaps or advantages and gives the little guy a break with the big one. ' The UHSAA has nothing comparable nor does it have anything for the little feller who can't win a post in the state or regional track and field meets. , All in Season , , It quite definitely isn't an sport. The five events are high jump, broad jump, ball toss with special five. pound leathered ball, basketball toss for accuracy and the short sprints, 50 yards for juniors and 75 for seniors, The basketball toss is the only thing that could be out of season and if you think this is out go around and see what the kids in the high schools and colleges are doing right now- -they're on the basketball court whether the UHSAA says it is nice or not. - , The Deseret News brought the pentathlon back because of its worth to young athletes. It is not a brainstorm, but a careand studied plan for simple competition. fully thought-u- p The finalists will be brought to Salt Lake City to see the Western DiviVon college track meet and will be given awards and medals for their honors. All this is being done under the of their own coaches. , ..tutorship The coaches have begged for this program. For the UHSAA to come Out and walk way down the road to rule against It is a disservice to its constituent schools. It's sidestepping its responsibility to its own youth. - --- .
