Show First Row: Armstrong, Summerhays. Kerr, Marshall Second Row: Maw, Anderson, Peterson ATHLETIC COUNCIL Through the efforts of the Athletic Council the program of athletic expansion has been carried forward far in advance of what many think a reasonable limit. The stadium, three enlarged athletic fields, and the installation of up-to-date sports equipment and apparatus are monuments to the spirit and venturesomeness of men who have caught the vision and magnitude of athletics as an integral part of college life, and who have abided by their judgment despite a growing policy hinting at retrenchment. The scheduling of conference and intersection g a m e s rests wit h the body. Next year's clash with Washington was sanc-t i o n e d by the board as the best w a y to publicize Utah football. Walter A. Kerr Chairman Delegates from the council are sent to the regional schedule conclaves twice a year. T h e presentation o f a scholarship award to the best scholar-athlete in the major sports is a coinage of the council at the suggestion of Prof. Walter A. Kerr. This new move has done much to stimulate scholastic proficiency among the burlies of the campus, and it has greatly allayed the suspicion that athletics act as a deterrent to the real purpose of college. Those who have served on the Council along with Chairman Kerr are: Dr. H. L. Marshall, Dean Maw, Thomas Hull, Thornton Morris, Wesley H. Anderson, Preston Summerhays, Ike Armstrong, Vadal Peterson, and *?"* Stanley Murphy. Stanley Murphy Graduate Manager 201 |
