As we stand with nude caraniums caressed by balmy breezes and absorb thoughts of love and stuff, the basketball suits are swapping B. O. for M. B. O. (moth ball odor). Basketball is a thing of the past and it's best no mention be made of the Denver trip. I'd get my Charlie Horsed if I made it known that the boys participated in inebriating practices. Anyway the boys had a good time. Speaking of good times, that little blond that just started school . . . 'tis spring la la. Revell has acclaimed himself the best player in these parts and few coaches have backed him up. He has been confronted with numerous offers but as yet his mind is still blank. Hatch overcame a case of spring fever and grappled his way to heavy weight champ of the A. A. U. last Saturday. He was so tired when the bout was over that he couldn't well, he just couldn't. Shirley said she lost three pounds worrying about the outcome. This is just a hint to some of you gals. Course it wouldn't do for you all to worry about Don. Track In the spring a young man's fancy gently turns to thoughts of track. At least about 20 fellows figure that way. Eldon Gardiner,ex-basketball-er, is out and looks plenty good in the 440, and on the jumps. Frank "Bashful" Berglund has been carrying such a load this last quarter that the coach expects great things from him in the weight throwing division. He shows promise in sprinting also. Carl Anderson of Weber high is here this year working hard on the javelin; he really gets it out. He contributes his genius to practice with bottles (milk) when he was younger. George Stewart flies through the air with the greatest of ease and is sure to go places in the jumps. Cactus Peterson bulldogged steers all summer on foot and still has enough speed to go places in the half mile. If the coach would rig up a steer like they do rabbits for racing dogs, Pete would make Glen Cunningham look silly, anyway some one would look silly. Maurice Marshall, not to be confused with any movie star, is fighting for Weber this year, ready to better his record of second place in the state meet last year. He does, his job in the half mile. There are others out but as yet they haven't broken any records (or paid for any publicity) so they remain unnamed, but not for long for they look good also. Swimming The swimming team is all washed up for another year with the exception of Perry Leavitt and Virginia Nelson. These two expect to represent Weber in the Senior division of the National A. A. U. Virginia said she wasn't getting any place working up, so took up diving to prove the idea is all wrong.

KNIGHT ORCHESTA WEDNESDAY & SATURDAY WEBER OUTSTANDING Weber Swimmers Finish Second Granite paddlers captured the league swimming title with Weber holding down second place. Coach Losee began the season with but three regulars, Leavitt, Foulger, and Fernelius, and a group of willing but inexperienced freshmen. He molded his material into championship contenders. The Weber team was defeated only by Granite. W L Pet.

Next year's team will be built around Clark, Leavitt, Chatfield, Chris-tensen, Taylor, Campbell, Keyes, Robinson. Wynn, Fredberg, Bergland, and Stamos. The newly-formed league celebrated a successful season by revamping the record sheets. Every record except the forty yard dash and the one hundred and sixty yard relay was shattered by the new crop of swimmers. Weber holds four of the records, Granite five. The league records are.

Get Along, Little "Pony," Get Along About cheating, one of the faculty confides: This college is growing amazingly fast. It may easily become national . . . the junior college, even. And so our school will be known more and more by the grads' ability to "take it." To carry the school's colors with pride, we need to crawl through the ropes without a towel in our hands. Right now it isn't fashionable to punch it out with a test and have nothing but our bare hands. Or is it? You say. elected captain of next year's swim team. He has been in the water so long he calls every molecule by name. Nice going, Virginia and Perry. Here's hoping vou sink them. Speaking of sinks the S. O. P. S.

At Intramural Track Meet Planned Intramural clubs will be given a chance to gain the leadership held by the Excelsior club when they participate in the spring track tournament to be held Friday, March 31. More points can be gained in this meet than in any of the other events held during the past two quarters. The racing events will be the 100, 200, 440, 880, mile, 220, low hurdle, 120 high hurdle, half mile relay, and mile relay. The jumps will feature the pole vault, high jump, and broad jump. Other events are the javelin throw, the shot put, and the dicsus throw. Each man will be allowed to enter two events and a relay. Weber Netters Open Tennis Season Coach Bob Davis gave the call for the Weber netters this week. The tennis aspirants have to be contented with a late start this year; last season the players were rounding into form at this time. Coach Davis has only three let-termen, Vern Stromberg, Jacob Weese, and Melvin Manfull returning; but he has some fine freshmen material in Glen Free man, Charles Ketchie, Glen Clark, and Blaine Felt. An ambitious schedule has been drawn up. Davis will start his ladder tournament immediately. The men who work up the ladder to the first ten places will comprise the ten man squad. These ten men will meet Westminster in two matches, one to be held here and one at Salt Lake City. In addition to the Westminster matches, three men will compete in the B. Y. U. invitational meet to be held on April 28 at Provo, and the Jaysee conference meet in Salt Lake City starting May 6. Tentative matches have been arranged with Branch Agricultural college and Utah State Agricultural college. Radio Work Open By ROSS EKINS Here's your chance, all you would be Garbos and Gables.

IN DENVER Ogden Wrestlers Gain Championships Two Ogden men proved themselves formidable wrestlers when they gained championships in the intermountain A. A. U. Wrestling meet held at the American Legion Chateau One Weber college wrestler captured a first place. Don Hatch was the winner of the heavy weight division. Charley Waite took second in the 123 pound division. These grapplers defeated all of the outstanding material presented by the senior colleges. Waite's only defeat was administered by Merrill Croft who won the National A. A. U. meet held at Boston last year in the 123 pound division. Jack Elder representing the Weber gym was victor in the 191 pound division. Hatch and Elder were awarded gold medals. Waite received a silver medal. . The entries for the meet included Branch Agricultural college, Weber college, University of Utah, Brigham Young university, Agricultural college, Weber gym, and the Deseret gym. The Outside World (Continued from Page 2) tardy efforts of Great Britain and France to gain his friendship indicates that he will play a -rather important part in European affairs in the immediate future. Whether he will align himself with otherdictator-nations is giving the Democracies of Europe considerable anxiety. Franco's Course The course that Franco takes will be difficult. Monarchy and republics have failed in Spain. Such conditions do not leave him many alternatives. To effect some sort of government that would give the people of Spain some comfort and stability would be a feather in Franco's hat. For the past four hundred years we have been witnessing the decline of Spain from a position of the most formidable power in Europe to one of the weakest. If Franco and his associates prove to be judicious leaders we might witness the beginning of the rebuilding of that nation. Tme Oaib (Continued from Page 1) danced and played golf.

TOURNEY H 11ULUIO 11LIU111 1 1U1U Colorado Meet A highly-rated Wildcat team returned from the A. A. U. championship basketball tourney at Denver, Thursday 16, leaving behind them a defeated team from Southwestern Teachers College of Oklahoma and a tired, shaken Olympic club team. the Wildcats met the Oklahoma Teachers on Monday. After trailing in the early stages of the game, the Weber team took the lead midway in the first half and from that point steadily drew away. The final score was 46 to 30. Weber moved into the second round to play the Olympic club of San Francisco. This game in the smoke-filled civic auditorium was the most exciting contest in the first three days of the tournament. There were no impartial observers everyone was yelling for his choice. First the Wildcats ran up a ten point lead of 11 to 1; the Olympic club came back to race up a ten point lead of 39-29 in the waning minutes of the game. Then the fire works Weber knotted the score at 39 all with four minutes to play; the lead alternated until it was tied at 4a all with less than a minute to play. Garcia, Olympic clubber, decided the game with a fast drive-in for a set-up, his only basket of the game. The Olympics took the game 47-45 as Nelson's frantic shot from the middle of the floor rang off the hoop. It would be hard to pick a star for either game, since all the players turned in beautiful performances. Nelson and Revell were the heaviest scorers but they were pushed hard by Thomas and Clark. Nuggets Win Tourney The Denver Nuggets ran true to form when they won the tournament by defeating the Battle-ville Oilers 25-22 in the finals. The star-crammed Nugget team extended the reign of the Missouri Valley League over the tournament to fourteen straight years. A college team has not entered the finals for four years since the Golden Bobcats of Montana played on the final night. gertips. "Imagine my doing anything like that.
