Hot Fists in Action Kalani. "Boxing's almost as rough as Judo." "Hirschi, bloody but dangerous." Fisticuff science reached its peak during 1950 for eight hard hitting men, who were crowned National Junior College Boxing Champions in the Weber Gymnasium on April 12th. Punching their way to vistory, and amassing a three night total of 19 points, Compton College barely checked out a determined Mc Neese group for top honors. For Weber, Charles Kalani, heavyweight, and Don Hirschi in the 145 lb. division, were rated as outstanding performers during the tournament, despite being decisioned in the finals. Hirschi, who began boxing for the first time this year, was barely outpointed during the second night by Jack Betterncourt of San Francisco in one of the evening's top battles. Kalani, exhibiting courage and agressiveness all the way, was defeated in the final test by Compton's huge Ed Sanders, who, though lacking skill, was just too big for his earnest Weber opponent. Two Comptonites in the 155 lb. division staged an exciting fracas as they smashed it out during the third night. Webb, a negro boy, surprised the crowd and, especially his opponent, Auggie Bustus, who had won both previous fights by knockouts, when he plainly won the Judges' nod for champ. National Champs. "Honors were well earned after three smashing nights of it." Swing with Spring Warner pitching. "Warner crooks his right left leg for added accuracy." Gardner and Carruth - "Baseball sure looks fun." Coach Mecham gives 'em the word. Winter grabbed more than its share this year. By the first week in May it was still throwing snow and sleet on Ogden and surrounding area, which aside from ruining the fruit crop, caused cancellation of several Weber College baseball games. Even so, to date Weber's baseball team is full of enthusiasm and what looks like lots of that necessary ability. Any one observing a few practice sessions would very likely agree with Coach Milt Mecham, who thinks Weber has a "good," hustling ball club, likely to give a real account of themselves the moment spring weather gains the upper hand." Games with S.I.C.E. on the 12th and 13th were postponed, but high hopes were held for a future tilt with Boise on the 18th and 19th. "No conference championship will be held this year," says Coach Mecham, "only a Southern and Northern division playoff."
