Show Lorenzo Carter Lynn Corbridge Dave Erickson Bert Hammond Dick Motta Coach Wildcats Beat Lewis 80-69 Weber's basketball team quieted any qualms anxious fans could have had about its court prowess as a four-year institution by running up an outstanding record against full-fledged four-year teams. The Wildcats, playing their first season in the new Weber field house and as a senior college, won all their home games and dropped only four on the road to finish with a 22-4 win-loss record. This feat, accomplished with sophomores and juniors who will be returning next year, was enough to rank Weber as high as fifth among the nation's small colleges. As a result of his outstanding ball play for Weber Wildcats, Jim Lyon was named All-American. Local fans seemed to enjoy his performances, as well as the team's winning habit. Some regarded Lyon as the best college basketball player in the state. Utes, Aggies, and Cougars expressed their eagerness to test the Wildcats when schedules can be met. In fact, Hy Hunsaker of Utah State University stated this year that Weber undoubtedly has ". . . one of the finest basketball teams in the West this season." When the Wildcats do open play with Utah, BYU, and Utah State, they will attract stand-up attendance. Weber 89 ................. Alameda State 55 Weber 74 ...............
