Show Wrestling Marv Hess, aggressive Ute wrestling coach, was faced this year with the problem of building a conference contender out of a handful of top matmen. Marv built around returning point winners, Paul Tanner and Bob Lee, a courageous and agile squad. To this nucleus, Coach Hess added Glen Payne, Richard Winzenreid, Norm Tachiki, George Brinkerhoff, and Gary Francis to complete the mat team. Though the Utes failed to win a dual meet, Tanner and Lee led the matmen to a fifth place in the conference meet in Laramie, Wyoming. The prospects for next year's mat team are excellent, for only Tanner is lost to graduation and in addition, Coach Hess will have one of Utah's finest frosh squads to bolster the varsity returnees.
