Clifford on a "jump "'I think we won" After a slow pre-season start, this year's hoop squad" pushed into high gear, ending the 1955 campaign in a tie for first place in the ICAC with Ricks and College of Southern Utah. In posting a 13-9 overall record, the Purple and White scored 1575 points holding the opposition to 1587. On this basis Weber should have done no better than a 500 percentage; however, the Swenson men won some really tight ones. The point spread here could be attributed to the five road games which the cats dropped before a working combination began to jell. In ICAC competition Weber - now rolling in high - copped 10 and dropped 4. Reed "Knute" Swenson, venerable basketball mentor, had his "type of club" this year-a race-horse outfit that averaged over 70 points per game. Other than an early set-back from Hill Field, Weber maintained a spotless home court record for regular season play. However, in the final tilt against Boise for the NIJCAA, Region IV tourney championship, Weber was tipped losing an opportunity to journey to Hutchinson, Kansas, for the National Junior College finals. Bob Subic, team captain, salvaged a measure of consolation for Weber by gaining a berth on the all Region IV first team and honorable mention for the NJCAA squad. Subic led Wildcat scorers with 398 points in 21 contests for an average of over 19 per game. Further laurels should be accorded Bob for his 32 counters against Ricks at Rexburg, the highest individual performances for the Purple and White in '55. Subic's stablemate and co-captain, Don Nish, sparkled throughout the season garnering 119 field goals and 81 charity throws for 311 points and a 14-point average. The big center cavorted in the key feeding off to his mates and was a demon on the boards if the situation so prevailed. Loss of Roy Hassell early in the campaign crippled Swenson's offense considerably and forced the veteran coach to revamp the starting five before the start of the ICAC race. Clifford again on a "lay up" Juluson vs. Ricks Not enough praise can be heaped upon the other heretofore unheralded members of the team. When Reese Quayle stretched those long arms skyward he either came down with the ball or splinters from the backboard under his fingernails. The backcourt ball handling of Clifford, Stokes, Campbell, Juluson, and Jensen broke Subic loose for frequent "ducks" or "cherry lay-ups." Without a doubt the Westminster game here at Ogden provided basketball fans with the stopper of the year. Trailing by six points and less than a minute to play. Weber pulled up into a 70 to 70 tie with the Parsons, winning 72 to 70 on a last-second bucket at this instant a spasmodic convulsion shook the gymnasium erupting in full force as the fans converged on the team and Coach Swenson. All in all it was a successful year, a tribute to the masterminding of Reed Swenson who has yet to come up with a really poor cage team. Stoking the furnace for two more What'll I do now.'
