Reed Swenson Carl Belliston Lynn Foley Stanley Watts Carl Taylor ATHLETICS Reed Swenson, director of athletics at Weber College, is more than just a coach. He is devoted to the interests of the college and to all of its activities. He delights in the personal relationship that exists between him and his athletes, and between him and the student body generally. He is interested not only in scores and victories but in college youth. Coach Swenson is ably assisted by Carl Belliston, who is coach of swimming, track and field, and general trainer of all major sports. Coach Belliston is also director of intramural athletics. Under his direction an extensive program has been drawn up and carried out to the satisfaction of every- one. Lynn Foley, stellar 160-pound end, captained the Wildcats through the 1934 football season. Lynn was a good end, both offensively and defensively, and it was his work and experience that helped mold a football team out of the many inexperienced players who reported for practice. Much credit for the success of the 1935 basketball season can rightfully be given to likeable and capable Captain Stanley Watts. Stan was second high-point man in the conference and was selected on the all-conference first team. Carl Taylor, a former participant in athletics at Weber College, was chosen athletic manager to act as business representative of the school in sports matters.

FOOTBALL SEASON During the 1934 football season, the Wildcats engaged in five practice games and two league games. Forty-one players of Utah, Idaho, Nevada, Wyoming, and Oregon turned out for football practice. Weber played the first game of the season October 2, at the Ogden Stadium, when the Wildcats met the Alumni. The Alumni had two chances to score during the contest, and the varsity one. Each team, however, lacked the punch necessary to carry the ball across the goal line, and the game ended in a scoreless tie. On October 13 the University of Idaho, Southern Branch, came to Ogden to play Weber. The game started well for Weber, the Wildcats carrying the ball deep into Idaho territory before being checked in their goalward drive. The Idaho team then started a drive that ended in a touchdown. At this point, the Wildcat defense stiffened and neither team was able to score, the half ending 6 to 0 for Idaho. Soon after the second half started, Weber's team, weakened by injuries and substitutions, gave way before the onslaught of the heavier and more experienced Southern Idaho eleven, who, led by McKrola, scored 39 points in the last half to win by a score of 45 to 0.
