Weber entered the Ricks invitational at Brigham Young University April 28. Weber and Westminster clashed a second time Westminster on May 9. (Scores were not available at the time of this writing). Bowling and tennis rounded out Weber's competitive athletics. Bowling gained great popularity with the eight new lanes in the Union Building. Tennis was in the launching stage when the Acorn went to press. The court men covered a lot of concrete during spring encounters. They were coached by Ray Rhead. As spring sports got under way, Weber's athletic program was given the green light to expand into four-year competition. With the Skyline Conference breaking up, Weber faces new opportunities of joining a highly competitive league. Weber is working on an independent schedule for next year that will include the institutions that would logically be in with Weber to form the new conference. BOWLING TEAM.
