"Over the Fence" says Larry Jensen to Neil Flinders. BASEBALL Ah, Spring-when a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of baseball. That's what a young man named Milt Mecham was thinking about. Weber College's baseball team had plenty on the ball this year. Milt has taken three consecutive championships in the last three years. The winner of the northern division will play the winner of the southern division in a post-season playoff. Sophomore members of the squad who have played two years include: LEW WRIGHT, left hand hitter, always dangerous, plays right field. CLIFF LEE, right handed pitcher who established a new strike out record fanning 23 batters in one game. TED FAVERO, left hand pitcher, plays in the outfield and at first base always in the game because of his fine hitting ability. WAYMAN CASH, right handed pitcher, always available for duty and responds extremely well. JIM DAWSON, always dangerous at the plate, generally hitting for extra bases or a home run, plays first base. The team had a successful season. Bill Bell chuckles as Neil Flinders gets his clean white suit all dusty. 1st Row: Roger Blair, Judge Hawks, Ray Fields, Paul Blomquist, Larry Radle, Lowell Mecham. 2nd Row: Dick White, Coach Anderson, Garth Heiner, Ken Hull, Duane Kent, Gordon Mortenson. TRACK Weber track men saw action this year at several track meets. At Nampa, the competition was with nine schools, We-ber placed fifth. Our cindermen won a dual meet at Westminster, but lost a thriller to the U. of U. Frosh. Ricks College was host to a four-way track meet where Weber speedsters make a good showing. Another four school meet at Westminster showed Weber on top with 74 points, with closest score 48 by W. M. BRUCE ERICKSON, 5 ft. 11 in., holds high jump record when he jumped 6 ft. 2 in. DICK WHITE was an outstanding track man, excelling in high hurdles and javelin. JUDGE HAWKS was a good man with the discus, a good artist too. LOWELL MECHAM showed special talent in the 440 where he won every race he started in. At the conference meet Weber placed second. Ricks were top favorites. "Supersonic speed men," Lowell Mecham, Garth Heiner, Ken Hull. Bruce Erickson makes high jumping look easy. |
