Show John Benson Will Enter AAU Meet Saturday In S.L. John Benson, all-around athlete ath-lete at Union High School whose latest achievement was placing second in the 440-yard dash in the Utah High School track meet held May 16, will enter the A.A.U. track and field meet next Saturday in the University of Utah stadium, is a report issued is-sued by Coach Glen Allred. According to Coach Allred, who said he expressed the views of the greater per cent of the fans at the state meet, Benson was the rightful winner in the 440, had the young athlete who was declared the winner by the width of. a grey hair, been penalized pen-alized for crossing into John's lane. "I'm still convinced Benson Ben-son is the fastest 440 man in Utah's high schools, which is the reason we all want to see him get one more chance before fading from the high school limelight into some college," Coach Allred said. Following the Saturday meet John will leave for Colorado, where he will be employed this summer. He has fond hopes of entering the Brigham Young University next fall, his coach said. |
