Some top caliber opposition, such as the University of Utah, helped the young Rebels into the progress that will enable them to compete on that level in future years. Junior Bob Cummins led the team and captured several placings amongst stiff competition. Other members of the squad included Senior Bruce Heskett, and frosh Robert Lloyd, Kent Lang, Jim Roberts, and Jim Smith. 203
