Show Page 4 THE SIGNPOST Chatlie HwAe by Ted Collins While you are reading this column Weber's team will be heading for the Ricks stadium, prepared to chalk up another victory. From what I hear, perhaps the boys won't be alone on foreign soil this time. Some 20 or 30 of those vivacious misses you see running around the halls with purple and white military uniforms (never could quite associate the uniforms with any school feature) hope to be there cheering our boys on to victory. It seems as if the on to Denvevr drive brought in enough to finance a trip to Idaho. Oh well, Idaho" or Denver, what does 'it matter? They're both nice trips. The team and the girls should return with some interesting news about Saturday. Watch this column for those intimate facts. Whoever the crackpot was who wrote that song, "You've Got To Be a Football Hero," should have his "steak burned. Don't get me wrong ; football's great stuff and all the girls will admit they admire these boys of brawn. But on the tragedies of the game just ask Deb Nye. While he sat freezing on the bench in the Mesa game, the editor of this worldly rag played the old yet new Chinese game, Fling Woe, with Deb's girl friend. When the game was over, Deb went down to the train to see her off to a vacation in Cal. They tell me he shed - few tears. Why Delbert! It Deb doesn't convince you that football has its letdowns, ask Dee Whitesides, who just returned from a stay in the hospital. Aren't the nurses nice looking, Dee? Affectionate, too. Ruth "Skelly" Skelton, a Vebcr graduate now attending the U has sold her Alma Mater. She kept "Boner" Johnson out till nine o'clock p. m. Friday could she be responsible for that pass he missed in the Mesa game? Allen Christianson is going to die with a broken heart if Coach Davis isn't careful. Why? Permit me to go dramatic. Scene: Bench during Mesa game. Time: First quarter. Coach Davis: Christianson! Chris jumps up full of fight, tears off his jersey, grabs a helmet, starts warming up. Admirers: Yeah, Chris! Coach Davis: Christianson, c'mere ! Chris, panting, all excited: Y'eah, coach ! ! Coach: Go see how much time left in this quarter. Pause .... Coach : Handy, throw some water in Christianson's face, then set him on the bench. (Mr. Allred, I shall be glad to assist you should you wish to produce this.)

U. association will act as hostesses to delegates from all the colleges and universities in Utah. This year is the first time that the convention will be held in the fall. Last spring Weber's W. A. A. sponsored a highly successful convention at Camp Kiesel. 7iw Jaifo (Continued from Page 1) Flowers and confetti rain upon the big man. and his good-natured face throws off a light that might be taken for the glow of genius. Thus Caesar handed to Antony an all-conquering army, empire, a most attractive and brilliant woman. The drama must continue, and Antony will speak the lines of immortal Caesar. But anti-climax must forever stalk this new lead, wherever upon the boards he pauses to perform. For Antony took these gifts and threw them into the blue lake that joins Egypt to Rome. Cleo Said To Be Siren Yet even today the woman is held to be the siren of the piece. Olive-skinned, sloe-eyed, sensual, exotic, she is said to have led him down palm-shaded pisles of evil, lulled him with eastern perfumes, enervated him with the lingering touch of her body and the succulence of her lips. As a matter of recorded fact, however, she was descended from Alexander's General Ptolemy and therefore was not native Egyptian, and was probably a blonde. Reliable profiles of her head give her a slightly arching nose. Reliable history gives her the greatest feminine personality of antiquity. To salve the fact that she won over Rome at every turn, the historians of that city stigmatized her for all time as a harlot. Her fault was that she made Alexandria, on the Egyptian shore, seem more like home to these two emperors than was cold Rome. Here, Caesar and later Antony slipped out of their armor, put on their house slippers, called for wine and viands and mented on the fine game he played Friday. I don't think we show the bovs enough appreciation for the fine work they do; all of them deserve a pat on the back. I've been promised something else in the back from the boys. Nice fellows. But anvwav. you mugs do put a lot of umph into the old W. C. And do we like it!

Weber and TheStandard-Examiner have arranged for the leather pushers to use o.ur gym without charge provided they have signed up. Boxers will workout Monday through Friday each week starting November 1 between 5 and 7 p. m. On Saturday of each week workouts will be scheduled in the early afternoon. Joe Louis gives a trophy to the outstanding boxer of the tourney. The tournament itself will be held at the Ogden High gym December 5, 6, and 7. Boxers from Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming will compete. Possible entrants from Weber college are Mutt Wright, Pete Preshaw. and Darrel Peterson. wealth, ordered the servants about, and whiled the years away most happily. With Cleopatra, they watched their children grow more beautiful each month, frolicked with them and her, and for these unwitting youngsters blueprinted greatness they would never know. Antony's Last Bouquet Antony himself has received his last bouquet. Cast as the hero, he turns himself into a Polonius, a Macbeth, at best a Plamlet who blubbers and, when the stage business calls for graceful death, can hardly press the sword into his flesh. When he should have been winning support in Rome, Antony skylarked up back streets in Alexandria, tick-tacking windows in the dusk, thumping doors, overturning garbage. How startled the sober householder must have been to see that heavv torso lope away and hear abandoned laughter that sounded remarkably like their queen's ! Antony dallied again when he went pick-nicking against the venomous Par-thians, who barred him from Caesar's, Cleo's and his own dream of oriental empire. The finale came in the great regatta at Actium, 31 B. C, against Octavian and Agrippa. Antony turned sail before scarce a spear had been reddened, and left his fleet no choice but to go over to the enemy. Antony's Cue This is Antony's cue to take himself to his fathers. He hesitated for a year. Perhaps he honed for some unmerited encore to bring him fortune once again. But his stand-in was better gifted to walk before the world and at will call forth bravos as the maestro brings sweet strains from his violin. Octavian became Augustus Caesar and ruled during the benign era known as the Age of Augustus, 31 B. C. to 14 A. D. Cleo's Bow Cleo, proud baggage, takes her bow as did her Greek forefathers. She arranged her mundane affairs for the children's sakes, dressed in her most elegant apparel, and applied the asps. Legitimately Wed By Egyptian custom Cleopatra was in turn legitimately married to both Romans. It was so regarded in Alexandria. Perhaps some day humanity will show gallantry and justice, and say that by the concepts of her country Cleopatra's conduct was pellucid as the maiden reaches of the Nile. s h i rtc raft Shirts A new selection of smart patterns and colors with the famous Everfit collar. $1 35 $1 and 2305 Wash.

Two divisions instead of one are being planned for 1939. In the eastern division, Trinidad, Pueble, Mesa, all of Colorado, and northern New Mexico, will be represented. In the western division, members will be Ricks and Albion in Idaho, Weber, Westminister, Snow, Dixie and Branch Aggies in Utah. "It is very probable, that in the near future, there will be games between the winners of the two divisions," announces President Gray. All Conference Teams Another matter considered by the association was a new and better method of choosing all conference teams. It was decided that each coach would send in a list of his best players, and also a list of the players from opposing teams that were outstanding. This list from each coach will be sent to the publicity committee who will choose all conference teams. A track and field meet will be staged annually for junior colleges. Salt Lake City will probably land the 1939" event. The organization of a two division conference promises to make this league one of the finest in the United States. Committees The committees for the association are : Rules: Floward Linford, chairman; Reed Swenson, and Orville Hunt. Eligibility: Oswald Christensen, chairman ; Ralph Prator, Lee Hafen, and Ernest Miner, alternate. Schedules : Basketball, Eldon Brindley, chairman, and Howard Linford. Football, track, and tennis: Bob Davis, chairman, and Pete Carlson. Reorganization and membership: Ralph Prator, chairman, and Ralph Gray. Publicity: Ernest Miner, chairman : Eldon Brindley, and Clyde Packer. Awards and trophies : Lloyd Shields, chairman, and Ferron Losec. Football Outlook Calls For Tough Wildcatting By Fred Blakely Ricks footballers should go down without a pin to stand on this Saturday when the Wildcats take to the field at Rexburg. That's the forecast around the local gym, The students expect a marked victory. Westminster, Nov. 5, and Albion, Nov. 11, are different, according to Mesa barometer. Westminster eked out a six-six tie on Mesa's home field. That means something; the Wildcats took Mesa in, it is true, but only by five points on Weber's home field. Albion is really steerhide. It came along and drubbed Mesa 26 to 0, And the Mesas were big men. Of course, the game was in Albion's pasture. Coach Davis said that Mesa was the team to beat; now Westminster and Albion are the ones to bowl over. Students have gone peppy over the team this year and will stand by to hear favorable results. Read, Thomas, Burton, Nye, Hatch and others will make a rumpus of these two big games. Women's Intramurals Increase Scope Women's intramural program this year is increasing in its scope. It is the aim of those in charge to get every girl into some activity so that her college course may be well balanced. Matinee Dances Matinee dances are the latest addition to the intramural program. At each weekly dance Ida Stewart, head of the intramural program teaches a new dance. So far the Lambeth Walk, the Flat Foot Floosy, and the Polka have been taught. SPECIAL HALLOWE'EN ' MID-NITE FROLIC Horns, Hats, Noisemakers doors Feature open "OUR DAUGHTERS" 11:30 ORPHEUM- tteatntine By MARIE CHEVERS Well, gals, here we are on the hunt once more And it is "dear" season again. The most progressive intramural thus far has been the coed "coop'' matinee dance program, during which we can do our practice preaching on the boys. Oh, boy! A bit of unconventional tumbling should be confined to the gym proper, however. The W. A. A., or crier organization is most grateful for the manner in which you gals answered the appeal for participation in this column several weeks ago. Nice going. Of course a pep assembly and a party had their mild effect, too. The director. Miss Stewart, is so pleased that awards will be presented in the spring quarter in the form of block Ws. Y'ou can easily see that soon now your "catch" can proudly flaunt your block around instead of always having" it vice versa. Blocks aren't as easily lost as rings or pledge pins, are they, fellows? I have been wondering about the practicability of women's physical education for some time, but Phvllis J Garden solved my dilemma for me the other day. I was asking her 1 whether or not she was supporting the allure platform and she said: iou bet 1 am; I more fun last year playing basketball than ever before in my life. Yrott know, one day someone hit me on the head with the ball and I heard railroad trains for a week. No effort at all to avoid listening to the nrofessors." Well, figure it out for yourself; it saved mental strain from studv and look at the child's popularity. We had fears about the tennis tournament last week when Dame Nature two-timed her old man and went the rounds with Jack Frost a few days, but now that the estrangement between them has melted into spring love, I guess we can forget about skating and skiing for a little while. The Brigham Y'oung university is playing hostess to the annual Women's Athletic Association convention at Provo the end of this month. If any of you gals have hates, we will take them for a ride with us on the way down. We refuse return transportation, though. But a little more seriously, any one interested in the affair may see the officers. I am sure a profitable week-end will put the pep back into your youthful livers. "Good as new though nineteen," is the tip. Also, "Like seventeen at seventh." Clubs Several clubs have been formed. The dancing club which meets every Wednesday night is open to all interested in dancing; those with aquatic interests are invited to join the swimming club on Monday evenings; archers meet on Mondav afternoon.
