Coach Dave Gates has had a group of promising track and field athletes working out whenever when-ever weather conditions would perir.it, and will give the men their first test of the season in a dual meet with the Dixie College Rebels early in April. The track and field meet, schedule will be similar to that et loimei years with dual meets with other Jaycee teams, parti-! cipation in the B Y U invitational meet and the If AC meet to again be held at Westminster college in Salt Lake City. Meet by Proxy However, one other meet is planned, an innovation in track and field competition. This is to be a meet by "Proxy" in which the two competing teams perform in their home fields with places determined by telephone exchange ex-change of records of the performers. per-formers. The "proxy" meet will probably be arranged with the College of Eastern Arizona, Coach Gates says. Lettcrmcn returning from last year's squad include Derald Evans, Don Keeney, Garth Fish- J er, CJurdon Sargent and Glade Wilks. However, Wilks will probably prob-ably not be ready for early season sea-son meets because of a shoulder injury.

N. Webster. Coach Cleo Fetty is hopeful of developing a strong baseball team at the college this spring, and has his squad members working out as regularly as weather wea-ther and field conditions will permit. He has three lettermen from last year's strong squad on hand again this year, including Sherm Lee, Monroe; Gordon Sargent, Sar-gent, Cedar City, first base, and Ray Callister, Delta, infielder.

Shipp pitched the South Sevier High School Rams to the class B state championship cham-pionship last year and was rated the best of the class B pitchers in the state. Shipp and Lee should provide Coach Tetty with a top battery for this year's Bronco squad.
