Mountaineers Brace for Long Winter With Uncertain WVU Gridiron Outlook
West Virginia University alumni rise to raise funds for overcoats for Art Lewis and staff as WVU enters a lean, young 1959 season. Lewis calls the squad the lightest and most inexperienced of his tenure, with 17 of 51 varsity candidates over 200 pounds and 19 lettermen from last year’s 4-5-1 team. Sophomores predominate (29), and the opener at Maryland looms large for confidence building. The backfield appears solid with Tom Huston, Danny Williams, Dale Evans, Ray Peterson, Dave Rider and Johnny Marra, while the line needs ends tackles and guards. WVU carries a 28-game Southern Conference win streak into a tough schedule starting at Maryland and ending near Virginia Tech, with the potential to end the streak if sophomores don’t develop.
