4 The Gold/Bug, Dec. 12. 1958 SPORTS VIEWS ..... Western Maryland Athletic Stars by JOHN WEAGLY Receive Recognition At Assembly A Tribute to Mr'l.Uhrig The Awards Assembly last Munday was the -scene of a moving trib-. ute to one of Western Maryland's finest products, Mr. Philip E. Uhrig, coach of the WMC soccer team. When Bruce Lee, co-captain of the soc- cer team, spoke on behalf of the team, he was speaking not only for team members, but the entire student body. The display of gratitude ex, pressed by the students through their applause will have difficulty in being equaled. The engraving on the cup presented to Mr. Uhrig amply expressed the regard of the students for him by using the word "great- est" in his description. Mr. Uhrig is a member of the Western Maryland ColJege,Public Re- lations Office, a graduate of the college (Class of '52), and a member of the Alumni Association. It is not for his fine work in these departments that he was honored, however. Mr. Uhrig is moot widely known for his position as coach of the Green Terror soccer team. It is in this capacity that he has gained added recognition from the student body. Mr. Uhrig has been associated with the soccer team for nine years, both as a player and a coach. He has always produced good teams; in- cluding a championship in 1955. The 1956 team lost claim to the cham- pionship on the last day of the season, losing by one goal to Hopkins. Not only has he produced creditable soccer teams consistently, he has developed soccer players of topflight caliber. Several of the men coached and taught by Mr. Uhrig have received All-American recogrri- tlon. Some of his pupils never played soccer prior to coming to WMC. 1.
