This could be the beginning of another homer for the Wildcats. Weber College looked to another fine season on the baseball diamond. The Wildcats played a lot of baseball in the typically short season. A thirty-game schedule was developed, including both senior and junior college ball clubs. At the time of this writing the Wildcats had posted a 2-3 record. They split a double header with the University of Utah, lost both ends of a double-header to the Utah State Aggies, and easily downed Snow College. Top assets to the team appeared to be an unusually strong turnout of Frosh players who made good names in high school; a strong core of lettermen, and an able pitching staff. Heading the list of returnees were infielders Jon O'Dell, Roger Bambrough, and Jack Owens, along with outfielder Brent Belnap. The moundsmen were Dave Gray, a great pitcher from Ogden High, and three from Weber High who were on the state championship team, Dennis Anderson, Ken Jensen, and Bob Taylor. The coaching duties were held down by Dick Williams. Coach Williams, an Ogden native, is in his first year as a member of Weber's coaching staff. He attended Weber College, Utah State University, and the University of Utah, from which he graduated. |
