Show 1uTrackONE ALWAYS leaves off one season with prognostications of what's going to take place a year hence. After Utah captured the 1928 football bunting, a thousand and one fans augured forth with opinions of this, that, and the other nature. Some picked Utah to repeat in 1929; others touted 1928 underdogs as likely contenders for the next season; others still said that the next race will be anybodys. The same fans who doped the running in football turned their eyes to the track and field realm and ventured forth with ideas as to the chances of each and every team.After the 1928 season, the concensus of opinion gave Utah a liberal chance to place with the best this year, especially if Jackie Burton should go strong. Towards the middle of the winter quarter, Utah's chances were advanced a notch when Bill Cox, a star of years back, registered at school. Cox, a sure 10-point man, and Burton, worth at least \\}i tallies. Right thereâ€"over 20 markersâ€"outside of the remainder of the squad which would return, along with the new-coming faces.Burton dropped out of school, Cox, already carrying a diploma, took to the business world, and a few other likely performers, such as Dale Briggs, stayed ou' and erased enough points from the scoring column to guarantee an even chance with the best in the conference. Of course, this was all on paper.With such a predicament, Coach Ike Armstrong began to shuffle the cards and look over the high spots. Shuffling, or no shuffling, Ike had Buck Grant and Nate Long. But he did have to shuffle in order to bring Nate to the front in the 440. Wilton Ivie loomed as almost a certain point getter, also.CANNON MileJ[rUT \ItUxfBARKER HalfCLARKHurdles and High JumpVIA*mffi•^&^^'&^!^ffm^^^^i^^0C^^i3^^ :c^^o^c^^^c^^^^^S(S3^€a^s^^41'TOne hundred forty |
