Show g LTHOUGH the wrestlers of the University of Utah did not capture any particular honors as a team, in fact, finishing third in the state meet, several outstanding performers were developed under the tutelage of Coach Frank Crosby, and prospects for future Crimson teams seem bright. Perhaps the lad who showed the greatest ability in the mat sport was Dean Detton, husky youngster who threw his opponents right and left throughout the year. Detton captured the championship for the state in his class, and met and defeated the best men that Brigham Young and the Aggies could produce on several occasions. Captain Bill Christensen, the only letterman in the Crimson camp, was the only other Utah wrestler able to take a championship in the state trials, the big fellow walking off with the 175-pound crown after a terrifically fought match with Nuffer of the U. A. C. Several other men who worked hard throughout the season include, Orin Hobbs, Martin Dunn, Phil Baker, Steve Lauris, and Harry Metos, all of whom represented the Crimson in the divisional meet. Among the men who will return next year are Captain Christensen, Detton, and Baker. M. "Bill" Christensen, Captain. Frank Crosby, Coach. ,6. |
