SPORT V t ? 1 COLLEGE SPORTS PAGE WESTMINSTER A round the sports arena t r 1 V c ' .'7'$ . , U.'aJ t ,t '"C f by Keith Waggoner With the football season officially closed for the Parsons, basketball goes into full swing. The Parsons face what I feel is probably the toughest season in the history of the school. The gallant five lead off the season with a visit to Northwest Nazar-en- e at Nampa, then return to Westminster for a pair against Ricks, on Monday and Tuesday of next week. The Parsons will finish out the week with two against Western Montana. This is just the beginning, for what looks like a fine season. Around the first of the year the home town boys will meet one of the top teams in the nation when they travel to Colorado for a battle against Regis in Denver. Went out to see the team work out and from my point of view the team looks in good shape, but, and of course there must always be a but in sports it looks like the Parsons will need the tall man they havent got. They have plenty of speed and a lot of hustle, but the fact that they have no tall man could hurt. I hope that the student body will give the basketball team as much support as they did the football team, so lets all get out and see the gallant five in action. I see in the Salt Lake Tribune where Dean W. O. Watkins took a ride to Montana to talk over the possibility of the Parsons joining the Montana conference. I for one would like to see the school shop around a little before joining any conference.. That way we might get a real bargain in competition, that the Montana league doesnt offer. One more little lift from : the Salt Lake Tribune. The paper gave a list of unbeaten football teams in the United States, listed among them was a team called the Parsons? I thought we were the only team in the country that used the nickname Parsons, and thats it from the sports arena for this time.

One was produced on a 72 yard sprint down the middle of Jhe field on the first play of the third period, and a short time later Drew intercepted a pass and ran 40 yards for the score.

The Coyotes scored from the 21 on a pass to finish the scoring. The Parsons now have a 2 record. One of the best that they have had for many years. They have learned a great deal, from this game.

Shifty 4 A full meeting of the Ski Club was held on the third of November for yearly elections. The meeting started off with a movie of the 1952 winter Olympics at Oslo, Norway. The new officers elected were: Sam Miller, president; Steve Donnell, vice president; and Donnie Edmonson, secretary - treasurer. This very capable group will take over the leadership of the fast growing organization from the former officers, Frank Slater, Joe Juhan and June Slater. The club has already taken its position in the Intermountain Ski Association as a totally independent club. This is a long step forward for the club as it saves the members from having to join other clubs to gain classification privileges for racing and other activities of organized skiing. More movies are ordered for future meetings. Future x activities are being planned that will include the entire student body as well as the club members. The first actively sponsored by. the club was a hayride held on Oct. 8. This was open to the entire student body and almost all campus organiaztions were represented. Jim Patton led the songs5 during thq hayride, Bill Holman and his ukelele were also in perfect tune and these 2 fellows assured an entertaining evening throughout. Coffee was brewed by Frank Slater and Don Farnsworth in traditional western style.
