Although many of the new gridders have had very little or no football experience, prospects for an outstanding season are fairly bright, stated Coach Davis. Gene Green and John Dixon are the only returning regulars and Jack Faulkner, Wayne Grasier, and Bob Sneddon are returning subs. The roster for Weber's 1942 team is as follows: Bud Tolman, tackle, Davis high; Dil Young, fullback, Ogden high; John Hoover, end, Weber college; Mickey Treat, Carbon college, center; Walter Sorensen, center, Ogden high; John Dixon, quarterback, Weber college; Que Rich, guard, Ogden high; Ken Bearden, guard, Jordan; Floyd Champneys, guard, Weber college; Douglas Stringfellow.'lineman, Weber college; Bill Walker, tackle, East high, Salt Lake City; Curtis Hawley, end, Ogden high; Gene Green, halfback, Weber college; Jack Faulkner, guard, Weber college; Owen Manning, center, Ogden high; Bob Goodmundson, halfback, Weber college; Ray Hartman, end, Weber college; Melvin McAllister, Ogden high; Floyd Pickett, halfback, Ogden high; Nels Hansen, guard, Ogden high; Wayne Grasier, halfback, Weber college; Carl De Young, Ogden high; Harold Bearden, guard, Jordan; LeRoy White, guard, Park City high; Rus Thorne, back, Ogden high; Frank Williams, Ogden high; Mack Whitaker, back, Box Elder high; Reed Tolman, tackle, Davis; Bob Murray, Ogden high; Mario Zampedri, tackle, Ogden high; Pete Shupus, West high; Bob Repich, West high; Andy Katsanavous, West high; La Mar Mitchell, West high; Bob Sneddon, Weber college, and Bob Sneddon played football for Weber in 1940 and 1941. He was one of the most outstanding fullbacks in the history of the college. In 1940 he made more yardage than any other fullback in the conference. Sneddon is fighting for the purple and white again this season, but is inelligible to play only in non-conference games. Micky Treat from Price, Utah, was elected captain of the Carbon junior college gridiron team, but when Carbon college discontinued football for the duration he came to Weber. It is not certain if he will carry out his plan of attending Weber this fall, reports Coach Davis. Treat's father was just recently injured in a mine accident and Treat was called home. Cannon Parkinson, a lad from the U. S. A. C, may add sparkle to the Wildcat pigskin sport this fall if he can arrange to attend Weber. Parkinson was named an all-state football star In 1940 at North Cache high. Weber Gridders Seek Captain to Replace Lolotai Now in Hawaii When Albert Lolotai,all-conference grid star left school at the end of last winter's quarter to return to his native Hawaii, he took with him not only Nelson Moku, Weber's second all-conference selection, but the 1942 grid capataincy as well. Now the two Hawaiian boys who made such an impression on intermountain J. C. grid fans last fall are military police In their native land. "We won't be back this year, but you can look for us to return to Weber as soon as the Japs are pushed back into their own corner of the Pacific," or words to that effect, Albert wrote to Coach Bob Davis recently.

JOHN DIXON WAYNE GRASIER Attractive Gridiron Schedule Greets Weber Student Body Six of Nine Games Slated to Be Played On Home Field; Five Consecutive Games Offer Tasty Opening of 1942 Season It's been a long time since genial-f- Bob Davis, football mentor, has been able to offer as attractive a schedule of home games as are on the docket for this yearls crop of purple and white gridiron warriors. The season opens even before classwork gets underway with a game scheduled for the night of September 25. The opposition: A star-studded aggregation representing Fort Douglas, Utah. A game with Idaho Southern follows on October 2; then comes another soldier eleven, from Hill field, October 16; Dixie college, October 16; and Utah State's reserve eleven, October 23. All of the above games are slated for the Ogden stadium, supplying Weber college students with five consecutive weeks of home football. And that isn't all. Following a game with Mesa college and Grand Junction, Colo., October 31, the Wildcats return to meet Idaho Normal in Ogden on Armistice day, November 11. The final game will be against the blue-jerseyed boys from Branch A. C. in Cedar City, November 26. All in all, it looks like a good year for the home fans. Fullerton Game Cancelled by Coast Regulation This was the year that Weber college, under a home-and-home agreement with Fullerton J. C, was to have traveled to California for a return game with the Orangemen who defeated them in the curtain-raiser last season at Ogden. Dut to the "dim-out" regulations on the west coast, however, Coach Bob Davis 'has been informed that a game at Fullerton will not be possible.Coach Davis is still hoping that some arrangements can be made whereby the Fullerton team may be brought to Ogden perhaps to fill the open date on the schedule, November 20. Wartime regulations against travel make such a possibility doubtful, however. It appears now that the return game with Fullerton is just another "casualty." Thehome-and-home agreement will probably be fulfilled at a later date, probably not until after the cessation of hostilities. STARTS SAT. STARTS SAT.!

I..1IM DuvWior Oi''ed YbY Boris Wotros Hard, Experienced Players Will Pace Weber Wildcats By IRAN WATTS The pigskin pushers of Weber college, vintage 1942, face one of the most difficult yet interesting seasons in the school's history. Listed as opponents are all the old rivals including Mesa, Idaho Southern, B. A. O, and Albion. But to this list one must add such new and formidable sounding aggregations as Hill Field and Fort Douglas. These two service teams are composed of outstanding players from the entire nation. They will bring to Weber college fans a new and interesting type of football experience in that they will present older, more seasoned players with more finesse than the average college performer. When Weber meets these teams of size and ability it will be a clean case of the "old college try" versus superior force, and you know which we are hoping will win out. Able Players Back Returning from the squad of last year are three men: Gene Green, Wayne Grazier, and John Dixon. Green is adept at passing and ball handling and will add much toward the squad's success, but it is likely that he will become eligible for the USO very soon. Grazier is a hard-fighting back with sticky fingers when it comes to catching passes. Dixon, who played fullback last year, has been shifted to quarterback.The body of the team will be made up largely of freshmen. Early standouts include Que Rich, Dil Young, Bud Sorensen, and Mario Zampedri from Ogden high; Mac "Speedie" Whitaker from Box Elder high; five or six likely looking prospects from the Salt Lake high schools; cousins Reed and Bud Tolman from Davis high, and many other stalwarts. 180-Pound Line Taking everything into consid- Summary 1941-42 Football Football W.

The line will be very strong if capable men are found to fill the end and center posts. The backfield will be rather powerful with a strong passing attack. But football is like everything else today, you just can't be sure. There are approximately fifteen men out for football this year who have had little or no experience at the sport. This is in line with the new policy of "socialized sports" in which everyone participates. The coach has welcomed these men and is giving them special training to enable them to take part in his tseason's schedule. Fuzz Qualifies Coach Davis says that he'll issue a football suit to any man who wears a size 13 shirt or better, who has a small amount of fuzz on his chest, and who wishes to get in and have some real fun. So, fellows, Weber's Wildcats really face a tough schedule. We have some good looking prospects, but there's still plenty of room for hitherto undiscovered talent. Sports should concern the entire student body, and this year we intend to make the winning of a game a student body project if we have to have every man in a football suit to do it. Captain Arch M. Benson, '36 Weber college grad, is stationed in London as an attorney with the headquarters staff. Captain Benson attended the University of Utah, where he was enrolled in the law school for one year, and also went to law school in Washington, D. C. He is the son of Mr. John Benson, Weber psychology and education instructor. STUDENT PREXY! REMEMBER? Outstanding among memories of last year's football season is the scene in Ogden stadium just following the first kick-off in the homecoming game with Utah university reserves. Student Body President Jack Larsen had been delayed by farewell ceremonies at the Ben Lomond hotel, for he had just been notified that the United States army was sending him on foreign duty "somewhere in the Pacific." It will be a long time before Weber students and Weber grid fans will forget the sight of Jack arriving late for that game, nor will they forget the fight that he put up against Utah from his position at tackle on that day. He along with other members of the Weber student body who have joined the armed forces and are "somewhere in foreign service" will be an additional incentive to members of the football squad, and to all Weber students, to "get in and fight," if not on one of the foreign fronts, at least on the home front; if not on the football field, at least from the bleachers. School spirit was something Jack Larsen had plenty of. School spirit is necessary to a football victory, just as national spirit is necessary in time of war. Button-Down Oxfords No college man ever had enough of these. We have a large collection in white and several solid shades. Our size range is complete, too, which it an important item Cable Stitched sweaters are important in every back - to - school wardrobe. Perfect under a sport coat. Natural is the popular color, but we have this sweater in several other god-looking shades as well. eooc Repps and Knits That's the tie story for men going back to school. Our collection of repp stripes is something that university men have been known to positively drool over. And the new striped and solid color knits are so l-looking you II want to add at least half a dozen to your tie-rack. Narrow Brim Watch this hat trend. Most men in school have always favored this type of hat, but in the past several years hat brims have grown substantially wider. Now they're back to 2 inches again and we think this new model of ours is one of the best-looking styles in years. Expect to be in uniform eventually? Of course you do! And that makes your clothing problem today a serious one. We know that and we want to do everything we can to be of help as you put together your back-to-school wardrobe. The first thing we'd like to tell you is this . . . even though you may be pretty sure that your next suit may be a uniform don't let that affect the quality of the clothing you choose now for the months you'll still be active in civilian life. This is no time to take chances with low-priced merchandise ... for with the shortages of raw materials that have developed, now, more than ever, it will pay you to be very careful and insist on merchandise that carries a well-known label, such as Hart Schaffner & Marx and Varsity Town suits, Arrow shirts, Florsheim and Freeman shoes, Dobbs and Stylepark hats, Interwoven socks the labels that you'll find on the quality-right, styled-right, priced-right goods in this store. Side-Walls refers to shoes not tires (remember when you could buy em), men on campus aiscovereo how comfortable thesegood-looking shoes were, and as a result the popularity of side-walls has been constantly increasing among men in all walks of life (awful pun).
