Show EACH spring Coach Stevenson digs up the old lead shot and the running shoes and all of the other accoutrements of track, puts on that old smile of his, and goes out to build a track team. Track at Weber is coming into its own as football and basketball have done. The increase in the number of men who were carried on the squad and also the increase in the amount of equipment provided, is indicative of the interest which track has at Weber. The College has always endeavored to maintain a high standard in this spring activity, and the earnestness with which the boys went to work showed a desire to preserve that standard. Increased interest in track was manifested this year not only in Weber, but also in other Junior Colleges. At the Provo Invitational Meet, held April 24th, three additional schools were present, bringing the total of Junior College athletes who entered this sport, up to sixty. At the Utah-Idaho League Meet, held in Logan May 7, even greater interest was shown by the schools of this section. Weber again managed to pull away with a very creditable showing. The men who compose the track team are: Don Stewart, discus and javelin; "Pete" Couch, shot-put, pole vault, discus, javelin; "Star" Nelson, shot-put, discus, broad-jump, high-jump; "Monk" Halliday, sprint, broad-jump; "Pug" Mouritsen, javelin, distance runs; Golden Smedley, sprints; Clifford Smith, sprints; William Beazer, distance runs; William Miller, discus, distance runs; Alva Ritchie, distance runs; Grant Ellis, distance runs, pole vault; Rigby Jacobs, distance runs; Ray Price, shot-put, discus; Ted McGregor, distance runs; Laurence Taylor, pole vault; Delton Bramwell, sprints; Rulon Doxey, pole vault.
