Show The Tournament THE greatest of all athletic events during this school year was the Junior College Basketball Tournament. It was held in the Weber gymnasium commencing March 3 and terminating March 6. Six teams were entered, three from the northern division and three from the southern division. The south was represented by Snow College, Branch Agricultural College and Dixie College. The north was represented by Weber, Albion and L. D. S. The first night Weber and Dixie, Albion and B. A. C, and Snow and L. D. S. played. Weber, Snow and Albion emerged winners. The second round of the tournament these pairings were made: Weber and B. A. C, Albion and Snow, and Dixie and L. D. S. The winning teams were Weber, Snow and Dixie. The final night found Weber and Snow undefeated. At this time Albion was pitted against the Dixie "Flyers," B. A. C. against the Saints, and Weber against Snow. Albion and B. A. C. were victors, and in the culminating contest Snow defeated the fast- Weber team 28 to 14, thereby winning the tournament championship. The committee which handled the tournament consisted of Wayne B. Hales, chairman, and A. Leon Winsor, M. L. Stevenson, Dilworth Walker, George T. Blanch, and Lester Young, committeemen. The all-star team chosen from among the outstanding players was as follows: Irvine (Weber) and Frie (Dixie), forwards; Jensen (Snow), center; and Tuttle and R. Magleby (Snow), guards. R. Magleby was adjudged the best all-round player and was presented with a watch and a gold medal. Junior College Basketball League (Northern Division) W. L. Pet.

Those who appeared at the consequent meet made a very creditable showing and, incidentally, helped to boost the name of Weber. "Steve" took the cinder artists in charge and after three weeks of hard, consistent labor developed some of the best speed and field men that have ever represented this institution. No Junior College meets were scheduled, but there was one event in which Junior Colleges could compete. This was the Provo Invitational Meet sponsored by the B. Y. U., and thence the Weber College athletes journeyed. Rulon Budge, star speedster of the school, captured two first places in the sprints. He won the 100-yard dash from a fast field and then showed his heels to the rest of the contestants in the 220-yard dash. "Pug" Mouritson, running against seasoned vets, finished third in the half-mile, and Lee Newman placed second in the shot put. The members of the squad who made the jaunt to Provo with Athletic Director Stevenson were Rulon Budge, James Platt, Elmer Randall, Ray Price, Frank Mouritson, and Lee Newman. |
