Show THE SIGNPOST THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1 94 f Dependable Reserves Give Football Hope School Shows Fine Record Football practice starts Sept. 10 for the Weber Wildcats, in accordance with the conference rules. Last year's conference is now split up, so that Weber plays only Utah schools and the Mesa junior college of Colorado. "The prospects for this year look fair," stated Coach Bob Davis, "even though we have fewer regulars returning this year than any other year since I have been here. However, we will have many dependable reserves," he added. Weber has built up a splendid football record in the past four years. In 1937 the Wildcats were champs and lost but one conference game. It was the same in 1938. In 1939 they held second place and lost two conference games. Again last year they were among the top few with a tie for second place and the loss of but two conference games. In the last four years Weber's football teams have won 18 games, lost eight and tied five. They scored 332 points against the opponents' total of 181. As yet no assistant coach has been chosen to replace Milt Mecham of last year. Mecham, who proved to be a great help to Coach Davis and Weber, was called into the army last August. He is now serving as a first lieutenant at FortOrd, Calif. While Davis concentrated on building a line, Mecham strengthened the backfield. The new coach may or may not be the dormitory supervisor as well. A football captain for 1941-42 will be chosen Sept. 20. Some of Weber's seasoned Iettermen who will return are as follows. Bob Sneddon, all-conference regular fullback; Rodney Dunn, regular halfback; Bob Dixon, guard; Joe Peterson, end; Bert Ure, tackle; Dar- YOUNG MAN If You're Going Back to School We're Ready With a Smart Line of CLOTHINGSPORTSWEARSLACKS HATS SHOES Come In and See Our Grand New Selection WATSON and TANNER FRESHMEN!

Halfback . RODNEY DUNN rell Pitt, guard; Emil Henich, tackle; Lloyd Norseth, guard, and Clyde Wiley, guard. Blair Johnston, end, would have been active, but a recent appendix operation will undoubtedly cost him the whole season. Wayne Hill, guard, and Grant Hodgson, tackle, who were both regulars alst year, were married this summer and so probably will not return. Again this year Weber's squad lacks a practice field. It was expected that trees would be cleared from a section of Lester park for this purpose, but such has not happened. Consequently the team must share the municipal stadium with a junior high school. Recognizing the interference of 'football practice with lab classes, Coach Davis has shiften the time of practice from 3:00 to 5:00 p. m. to 4:00 to 6:00 p. m. in order to reduce the conflicts. Track Star of Last Year Will Captain '42 Squad Willie Thomas, Weber college track star, has been elected captain of the 1941-42 cinder squad. He was captain of last year's track team, which has been described by many as the best yet produced by Weber. At the conference meet last spring. Thomas took 18 points. He gained a first in the high hurdles, a first in the low hurdles, a first in the 100 yard dash, and a third in the discus throw. His performances and leadership qualities' rated him outstanding man of the squad. Swenson Outdoes Corrigan How? Publicity Stunting Coach Reed Swenson had more publicity this summer than a quiet, modest fellow like him usually gets at his wedding. The cause of it all was his car. It rolled down a steep hill at the Pineview reservoir on the day of the regatta. All by itself. So Mr. Swenson made the local daily with nine inches of type and a two-column headline. According to the Standard, the coach caught sight of the auto doing barrel roHs and cried out, "Look! Some poor devil's car is gone." Then he blinked and yelled, "Hey, it's mine!" Which was no lie. At the next Kiwanis meeting Mr. Swenson was presented with a toy wrecker. Two weeks later, when the news had had time to seep around a bit, he competed on the radio with Germany's invasion of Russia. Just to make his listeners feel that the world was not too bad after all, the KSL newscaster finished up his report with a comical analysis of Mr. Swenson's misfortune. Girls' Coach Back From Study Miss Ida Stewart, women's ath letic instructor, will resume her physical education classes. She has been studying physicial education and dancing at the New York university on a leave of ab sence during last year's spring quarter and this summer. Two-day Party Goes to Stake Camp Mfc. Ogden Stake Camp was the scene of much activity Wednesday and Thursday of last week as Chanodo club of Weber college entertained fifty college girls at their second rush party of the season. As the rushees arrived the Chanodo members dressed in their club colors greeted each girl and showed her to her room. From nine until midnight the large front room was turned into a casino where the girls could engage In many different games. On the stroke of midnight the doors of the dining room were opened to reveal a large supper table decorated in the club colors green and beige and with the club flower, the gardenia. Before retir ing for the night the rushees gathered before the huge fireplace to listen to the legend of Chanodo. Breakfast was served early the next morning after which the girls enjoyed swimming, hiking, tennis and badminton. Miss Marian Read, advisor, Mary Lou Foutz, Catherine Woolley, Shirley Spackman, Elaine McGuire, Marjorie Vowles, Gayle Neilsen, Dorothy Meyer, Shirley Chamberlain, Helen Farrell," Jean Kapple, Margaret Thinnes, Beverly Nicholas, Gwen Ward and Isabelle Dal-ton, club members, were the hostesses.Mardi Gras Again Frenisti Fete In Eastern Schools Weber's annual Mardi Gras is the social success it is due to the careful and persistent planning of the Frenisti club. "The Mardi Gras will go over just as well this year as It has other years," state John Walker, president. Rush parties and numerous other functions are being planned to enable the selection of a group of outstanding, clean, fun-loving fellows to join the group, according to Walker. Frenistians believe that social events along with classwork are necessary if a person wishes to secure a well-rounded education. Football Schedule Sept. 26 Westminster at Ogden (night).

Whips Whip Up Even More Pep for Weber In her first news release of the year Itha Russell, president, takes this chance to inform new coeds and remind the old that Whip Club is the women's contribution of organized pep and enthusiasm to Weber college. The club's sole purpose is to serve Weber and support the activities which the school sponsors; and since this is its aim, its activities are numerous and varied. From the distasteful task of selling the green caps to unworldly freshmen to the more enjoyable job of entertaining visiting football players, Whip is doing its part, Miss Russell says. The members seek no remuneration and yet each considers herself fortunate beyond measure at having the honor of serving. The Whip Club of 1941-42 considers itself, without benefit of false modesty, the best club that has ever been assembled at Weber. It is determined that long before school is out every member of the student body will agree to this claim. It has wholeheartedly resolved to be the peppiest, most enthusiastic group of girls conceiv able. They pledge themselves to boost Weber doggedly. Miss Russell has been heard to say on the subject of Whip, "The Whip Club this year will whip up so much enthusiasm that our opponents wilt be beaten by the student body spirit before they ever reach the field of battle." Bell Ringing Club Has Annual Party at Lagoon Wildcat club, whisker-licking custodian of Weber's victory bell, recently held its annual summer party at Lagoon. Activities for the coming year were discussed. Problem of the past has been when not to ring the bell. The tradition is to ring it whenever there is a victory, but the temptation to dong it a few times even when there has been no game has occurred.Intimations at the meeting were that the club should iinake further efforts to glorify the bell and preserve it in the ether of tradition. The bell was secured from the razed city hall and brought to the college through the efforts of this organization. All who are familiar with the story know that the task was difficult and that even after the bell was brought here it threatened to become merely a white ele-phone instead of a symbol ofvictory.

Barnard Explains A. M.S. Aims, Welcomes Men Ralph Barnard, president, announced last week for the benefit of prospective students that the Associated Men Students of We ber college automatically includes all male members enrolled. He wished it known that this organization is concerned with fostering all interests of the men of Weber and has as its goal the education, guidance, and entertainment of all men students included therein. It is the purpose of the organization to develop and support activities that will promote student life, fellowship, and demo cratic understanding among mem bers. Although this organization was not begun at Weber until the au tumn of 1937, it has made great strides and is one of the most im portant and popular parts of the student's stay at college. Among the year's activities the following functions are included Men's outing in the canyon, five assemblies, two dances, and the annual beard growing contest, and roller skating parties. This year a winter carnival and ice skating has been tentatively planned. Current officers include: Presi dent, Ralph Barnard; vice-presi dent, Jack Dalton; secretary, Fred Tingey.

Swimmers Place in Tough Races Wayne Christensen, captain of Weber's 1941 swimming team, took second place in both the Pineview and the Block Rock swimming meets this summer. Orson Spencer of Salt Lake City took first place, and Perry Leavitt, captain of Weber's swimmin gteam two years ago, took third place in both meets. They are admittedly the toughest ones held in this region. Both swims were under the Na tional Amateur Athletic Union direction and hence any amateur swimmer in the country was eligible. Ten contestants entered the two-mile Pineview contest, held July 20 and sponsored by the Ogden Kiwanis club. All the con testants finished with Spencer in front and Chirstensen a matter of seconds behind. Only six contestants entered the 8.2 mile salt water swim from An telope island to Black Rock island on Aug. 3. This swim doesn't re ceive the entry which it merits, be cause of the difficulties encoun tered in such water. Water goggles must be worn to protect the eyes and great care must be taken that water does not enter the mouth or nose. However this nearly always happens, causing strangulation and a sickness which usually forces the contestant to give up the race. Whereas a small boat accompanied each contestant in the Pineview race, there were just three 60-foot launches for all the contestants in the Black Rock race. Contestants dropped out at different intervals after the first mile so that there was soon a boat for each remaining swimmer. But when the wind blew up such a spray that the observers on the boats could see the swimmers only once in a while, they decided it was time to quit. Spencer was the only one to finish, making the slowest time on record: 5 hours, 7 minutes, 22 seconds. Christensen swam all but the last mile, and Leavitt swam all but the last two miles. Devi Jja to Come on Lyceum Series (Continued from page One) six or seven new, additional entertainments avilable to students in the college auditorium. Among them Mr, Hurst lists Reginald and Gladys Laubin, noted Indian dancers; Dr. Jesse Kellems, with lecture illustrated by colored films; the Ritz Trumpeteers; and Dr. Harlan Tarbell, said to be the world's greatest mental scientist. ftfcflaW8...We , I ' J ; i !

We present a full-length play each quarter in a typical year, and we present as many one-acts each season as conditions permit. "Yes, we need student assistants, many of them; and in many kinds of work. We want people interested not merely in icting, but am bitious and capable people for all phases of stage craft costume and makeup assistants; business and publicity aids; stage managers; book holders, "props," scene shifters, others. "We have three half-tuition scholarships for the right people. In terested students who can qualify should see me early during regis tration dates. We shall be able, also, to give one or two tuition paying jobs to qualified stage workers. Ambition, a little aptitude on stage, and a little previous experience these are the qualifications necessary." Your reporter looked over his notes and said, "Radio broadcasts, speech contests, plays looks like a busy year, Mr. Allred." "That's right," Mr. Allred responded, "busier than ever and we hope our best year, to date."
