You'd think wrestlers would have hairier chests. Hatch has a little shrubbery, but he probably did it with fertilizer. Hair or not, nevertheless, the wrestling element has more muscle per square inch than any other group in school. Their talents range from the tiger-like speed of Preshaw to the irresistible power of Hatch and Pitt. They make up a rangy, fast-thinking team of which Coach Bob Davis can do plenty of justifiable bragging. Their season has been a successful one, seeing many victories and enough defeats to build some character. Since wrestling is still one of the minor sports, the grunt-and-groan artists don't get half the glory they deserve; but they get a big kick-occasionally in the teeth-out of what they're doing in the second picture. That stuff isn't as humorous as Larkin's smile would indicate, but it's the rough, competitive kind of recreation that men instinctively enjoy. Ferron Losee coached the Weber College swimmers through their most strenuous campaign this year. The Wildcats competed in the combined high school and junior college league and also participated in meets with the University of Utah, Utah State Agricultural College, University of Colorado, and Colorado College. 1940 Weber College Swimming Team Clair Whiteley The strenuous game of water-polo was initiated into tank competition this year by Weber's natators.
