TRACK Coach Ray Rhead The Weber runners, throwers, and jumpers competed among a very much more competitive group of athletes from the conference than a team from Weber had done before. With good weather behind them most of the way, the thinclads from Weber finally had a good weather season in which to compete at their best. And they did. The "Winged Wildcats" equalled several records and bettered many others in running up a colorful season on the cinder paths. The Wildcat men placed exceptionally high in the Brigham Young University Invitational Track Meet, and for the second straight year, won their class in this competition. The lions' share of the dual contests were also won by the talented group of tracksters. The team this year was led by an exceptional group of milers in Steve Burns, Heber Fuller and Ted Amsler. This trio led the "Winged Wildcats" to their outstanding year on the oval track, and provided the needed spark when the meet appeared critical. Little Lynn Corbridge often proved to be another spark on the field, as he worked hard at the high jump, often jumping several inches over his head. Sportsmanship marked this fine bunch of athletes more than any other attribute, and thus the ideal of fine conduct was carried to the satisfaction of everyone. Front row: Ron Peterson, Dan Hinkley, Boyd Heslop, Glenn Maughan, Lynn Corbridge, Marshall Rutherford. Rear row: Vernon Parker, Jack Carter, Merlin Hanson, Brent Luthy, Ted Amsler, Don Bryant, Coach Rhead. BASEBALL With one of the best infields in the hisotry of Weber College baseball teams, Weber College's Wildcat nine played the conference as defending champions. The team again came through with an outstanding season. Against stiff competition from local four-year colleges and universities, the Wildcats proved superior both in sportsmanship and baseball skill. This wonder unit piled up fifteen victories, a total seldom equaled by larger schools. Most of these victories came on the overall team play, anchored by the double-play combination of Clair Howes and Jerry Richardson, both of whom were everyone's all-conference selections at second base and shortstop respectively. With the Wildcat hurlers providing the spark when the game was critical, the baseballers of Weber College had a very successful season. Coach Bill Mann, first time coach of the Weber baseball team, was satisfied with the play of his defensive unit especially. He feels that with the expansion of the college, Weber can move into a more competitive league, and will have to become even better than the teams in the past although they won many conference crowns.
