Show SKI TEAM HELD BACK BY INJURIESThe University Ski Team began its 1961 ski season this year by taking third place in the 14th annual Intercollegiate Christmas Meet held at Aspen, Colorado, during the Christmas holidays. The team sustained several injuries during the meet, including the team's star skier, Jim Gaddis, who pulled several muscles. Because of the injuries the Redskins were slowed down and made a poor finish. The loss of Gaddis, defending NCAA Champion, plagued the team for over two months, but despite the loss, the Utes participated in the Denver University Winter Carnival at Winter Park, Colorado and finished in sixth place. In the University of Nevada's Winter Carnival the Utes placed second. As a result of the Rocky Mountain Championship Tournament the Utes will host the 1962 NCAA meet at Solitude.SKI TEAM - Left to Right: Bob Irvine, Brad Smith, Jim Gaddis, Alan En gen, Bob Nelson, Jerry Morris, Pres Summerhays, Coach. |
