Utah 5, BYU 9. 238 After starting the season with disastrous losses, the University of Uath baseball team romped over its opponents on the western side of the conference with comparative ease. Coach Pres Summerhays led the baseballers to victory after victory following five straight defeats to Arizona in practice games in Tucson. The 1955 team boasted an excellent infield led by Dale Bain, Dale Simons, Harvey Francis, Don Geis, and Curtis Jenson, who let few grounders slip into the outfield. Slide Jim Dokos led the hurlers throughout the campaign. With his steady arm and variety of pitches, he out-guessed the opposition during most of the Skyline battles. Neil Astle, Max Reddman, and Bill Workman were the other pitching mainstays of the squad with Geis sometimes coming off his infield post to help. Dave Germann was the top Ute catcher, using his strong throws to cut down steal attempts at second. Carl Hohner, Jack Raynor, and George Tamura made up the rest of the backstop troupe. Roaming the outfield of the Ute diamond were dependable Lou Mele, Pete Dow, Cal Drecksel, Dave Hamilton, Gordon Jensen and Larry Miller. Curtis Jensen in a mid-air catch guarded infield area. "" fe |
