Show f Page 4 WEBER COLLEGE SIGNPOST Friday, March 7, 1947 W. C. Wi Confe Title ins rence Spring Sports Activity Starts With New Quarter; Competition Set In Track, Tennis, Golf, Football With the haskethall season athletes are looking forward to program. Golf, tennis, track a spotlight with the heginning of Baseball has not been on the budget of the athletic department, and will not be played this season. However, Coach Milt Mecham recently expressed the opinion that the diamond sport will be included in the new budget to be drawn up next year. There is increased demand for baseball from diamond aspirants. Coach Mecham will direct the trackmen in drills from 3 p. m. to 4:30 p. m., then will take the spring drills of the football squad from 4:30 until 6 p. m. The golf and tennis teams will be coached by Athletic Director Reed K. Swenson. The golfers will practice from 11 a. m. until 1 p. m. Plenty Hurdlers Weber is loaded with stars for these spring sports. Coach Mecham is especially expectant of a great corps of hurdlers for the track team. Such performers as Dale Shaw, and Keith Dickson from Weber high and Wayne Hansen, Marv Felt, Don Flinders, Owen Koch, Lloyd Thompson, all timber topping greats from Ogden high in recent years should make the Wildcat cinder team a powerful aggregation in that department. Other great track performeds are at Webor also. Felt is not only a hurdler but also holds the state high school record in the javelin throw, a mark he set in 1945 while a junior at Ogden high. Had he not left school to enter the navy most observers believe he would have extended his record the next year. BuroheU Takes Shot Harry Burchell, gridiron star, was .regional champion in the shot put last year for Ogden high, and will probably be addling points in meets for Weber this year, as will undoubtedly many other performers.Spring football will be an extra session to drill a little extra football knowledge into the Wildcat gridders. It is expected that nearly all of last year's team will be taking workouts and that many new performers will be on the job, giving promise of a team for next fall even more powerful than last season's aggregation. Kenney Leads Netters Leading the tennis parade will be Joe Kenney, star guard on the basketball team, who was a tennis mainstay last year. Newcomers who will add much are Charles Fron-berg, recently returned from service and two female performers who ran roughshod over the girls' competition and much of the boys' last year performing for Ogden. Diane Hunsaker had the distinction of being the first girl to win a regional tennis championship in state high school competition, winning over boys to take the title. Miss Hunsaker teams with Geor-geanne Hedges to make a strong doubles team. Both are attending Weber this year. In golf too there are a number of top flight performers. Bill Johnston won the olub championship of the El Monte club last summer. Pierre Hualde and Duggan Felt are also leading contenders in the links game. All in all there is promise of plenty of sports activity spring quarter, with Weber holding her own in all sports. tucked away in mothballs, Weber the opening of the spring sports nd spring football will take the spring quarter. James Cagney "13 Rue Madeleine," the new hit, finds James Cagney fighting mad and on the road to the "most sinister address in history." Cagney portrays a two-fisted counterespionage instructor who, when a "leak" develops in his own department, is thrown into one of the most astounding adventures ever filmed. The picture opens today at the Egyptian Theatre. And in This Corner . . . By Jolly Roger Coach Guy Wellman has left Weber to return to his baseball career. The popular football and basketball assistant left last week for Tampa, Fla., to go into spring training with the Cincinnati Reds. Coach Wellman was behind the plate for the Ogden Reds in the Pioneer league the latter part of last season, and he was selected to act as assistant on the Weber coaching staff " when Bob Davis left Weber to go to Denver university last fall and Milt Mecham stepped up the position of head grid coach. He made himself extremely popular with his athletes and other students, and they all wish him the best success with the baseball big time. But most of them wish that he had elected to stay on as a member of the W. C. coaching staff instead of leaving. There is a possibility of his returning next year. Swimming Over Intercollegiate swimming is all over for this season. It seemed that the Weber team was only getting started when all the competition was gone. After having dual meets with Utah State Agricultural college, University of Utah and Bear River high the Weber team expected to complete the season with a series of triangular meets with the U. of U. and Utah State, but the plans fell through, so now Coach Don Brenneman finds himself with a team that has just got rounded into shape and no one to compete ;with. The swimmers are still working out, though, in preparation for a couple of AAU meets later in the year, one of which will be held in the Weber pool, according to Brenneman. The first of the meets will be about April 1. Hoosier Brenneman, who has coached the swim team, is just a youngster, hut he has come in for plenty of praise on his coaching ability. He molded the Weber, team into a strong pool aggregation in spite of the fact that he had very few college swimmers. Most of the members of the team are Ogden high school students. Has Prep Champs Don coached these high school fellows to the state high school championship, using them on the college team, then splitting them for the high school meet. His boys, Pete Lafon, Larry Raty, the Nilsson boys, Dick and Jerry, Ralph Koepple, Dean Weaver and Larry Moss racked up 53 points to grab the prep honors last Saturday in the Weber gym pool. Inasmuch as he is a student at Weber, teaching only a few swimming classes, Don is also eligible to swim for the team he coaches, and he has led the college paddlers in the meets. When the state legislature voted on the Weber college expansion question Monday, the first affirmative vote was cast by former coach Bob Davis' father-in-law, Representative Horace L. Atlred of Duchesne county. Sports activity is a little slow at Weber right now. With basketball over except for the Compton tourney, information about which is unavailable for publication m the Signpost, and spring sports still in the more distant future, there isn't much doing in inter - collegiate sports affairs. But there is plenty of sports activity going on just for fun. Many people believe that skiing at Snow Basin has been better this year than ever before, and the great numbers of people who have patronized the great winter sports haven 1 'Sportsman's Holiday' Bacchus is the God of Wine; his followers are referred to as good sports, hence, the placement of this poem on the sports page of our self-declared "liberal policy" paper. Perhaps some of you know this tale only too well but this is no doubt the first time it has appeared in this paper in comical poetry. If you enjoy this poem, you would probably enjoy meeting the fellow who wrote it, lived it and is characterized by it. This is not the first time he has contributed to the editorial section of this paper. He is not a student at Weber. Indeed, he has had his B.A. for quite a few years. He was first string end on one of the Big Ten football teams. So, you see, his work does rate the sports page even if only in a round-about way. Lament Last night in modest Ogden Possessed of unfilled hours I sought my old love Bacchunal In new and quiet bowers. Apothecary's shop I found Hospitable within. "What have you?" said I, looking dry, And came reply, "Good gin." "Yes, sir," he added, "Stuff like this you don't see everywhere The good old Gordon label Now that will drown your care." "You said that once before," said I, In selling me some wine And when I woke in Brigham, Hot horses trod my spine." " 'Twas my mistake," said he, "But here, this stuff is not that sort. Why here is the label on the stuff." Ah, well, I took a quart. Oh, who is there in Ogden Who does not know me now, Who has not heard my voice raised high In fevered song and row. Who is this maid to whom I sang, Who is this man I hit Whow come I in the Kaysville jail With clothes that do not fit. Oh, brother, heed no dealer's word, Nor trust the Gordon seal. This story is no day-dream, Indeed, it's very real. THEODORE. Bowling and Squash Intramurals To Begin Next Week, Manager Says Bowling and squash are coming events on the intramural sports calendar commencing next week, according to Lloyd Thompson, intramural sports manager. Each of the men's clubs will have a bowling team entered, and play will be held in the Paramount Bowl, at 5 p. m. every afternoon, with each organization paying its alley fees. Two doubles and two singles games will be played at noon each day, commencing Monday March 10, in an attempt to play off the squash tournament during the winter quarter, if possible. No athletic events will be held during finals week. Swimming and water polo head the list of sports for the Spring quarter, and all the clubs are expected to participate in the single intramural meet. Basketball's double elimination tournament ended with the Sigma-Faculty contest last Wednesday, followed yesterday by the game for runner-up, in which Vikings and would seem to bear that out Weber's skiing class at the basin has been one of the most popular classes ever offered at the school. After all, where else can you have so much fun and get credit?

The Weber college Wildcats copped the basketball crown for the second consecutive year in the Intermountain Junior College conferenc rac. Weber's star-studded aggregation turned in a brilliant record of conference play, winning nine games while losing only one and scored more total points than any other col lege in the standings. The purple and white clad Wildcats played their last two games of league competition on the road. Weber powerhoused their way over Dixie junior college, winning by a large margin, but thefast-stepping Weberltes tasted defeat for the first time this year In league play at the hands of Branch Agriculture college to the tune of 46-41. Ken Berrett garnered 17 points which placed him as the top scorer of the circuit for the year. At the present time, Weber's champions are giving their "everything" in the tournament at Compton, California. The Wildcats have their eye on bringing another championship back to Ogden. Last season the Wildcats were eliminated by Pasadena junior college in the semi-final round of play in the tourney at ' Compton. Don Jespersen, star Weber forward, was named to the all-star team of the tournament. In the final game of the Intermountain jaycee league play.

The Branch Aggies won second place In loop standings with their win over the championship Wildcats In the season finale. Both the Broncos and the Dixie college cagers are entered in the meet at Compton along with Weber. Weber led not only league standings but also had the best offensive and defensive averages for the season of any team in the league, scoring more points per game and holding opponents to fewer points per game than any of the other teams. Center Kenny Berrett was the leading scorer of the Jeague and Don Jespersen, last year's Jaycee scoring champ, was third high man. Frankie Hazen was also among the top fifteen basket makers of the league. Quality Dry Cleaning Co. VERNON S. POULSEN CLARA W.
