Show Page 4 THE SIGNPOST Charlie (JcrJe by Ted Collins Weber's House of David journeyed to parts south last week to indulge in a few victorious basketball games. Revell, Nelson and Thomas were stars in the majority of games. I shall expose more of the facts of their tete-a-tetes when these gallant knights once more join our educating crusaders (in other words when they get back, which should have been last Wednesday, unless they were snowed in.) The boys upset many a conscience a week from last Friday and Saturday when they threw Westminster for a loss. The Saturday game became so exciting during the last half that Mr. Nielson swallowed his uppers. Good thing he had a spare pair. Some excited little gal in the Westminster audience had completely exhausted herself by the second quarter. She had more pep than three Whip girls. I understand the Whip gals have to forfeit a fine every time they don't honor us with their presence at some school event. I hope our players appreciate this professional loyalty. Speaking of loyalty no doubt some of you loyal students are still suffering from charlie horses sustained at the snow carnival. My many able reporters inform me that a good time was had by all except for the accident of Doc Anderson. Too bad people have to suffer for such loyalty. We certainly hope for a speedy recovery. Local theatres had a boom Friday when some of the purple and white student pansies of Weber ditched the snow carnival. I hope they all saw as bad a show as I did. Swimming Our swimming team has met with a major catastrophe in the form of Val Goddard's brain child. You said it, the beards. They increase friction 31.8 per cent, which retards speed enough to lose a meet. The boys beat the swim meet a week from last Wednesday when they were beardless, but the A. C. took advantage of our plight and managed to throw foam in our boys' faces. Perry Leavitt squinted through a microscope for three days trying to teach his beard to act as cilia and add to his swimming ability. 'Twas of no avail. I guess the bacteria are just smarter. Anyway he shaved off his beard. Roy Clark, the pride of Roy Clark, finds his beard an asset in keeping him suspended in his dives while he takes the bows in mid-air. Bill Smeding, that bashful frosh you see assailing everyone in the halls, has bathed his face in hair restorer for days but the only thing that grew was his imagination. He can't swim any faster, either. The boys have given it up as a bad thing, so clean shaven they downed A. C. yesterday (I hope). If they did, please consider me a prophet for this was in Tuesday to meet the deadline. If they didn't, please don't consider me. Football Weber's gridiron heroes dawned Jersey's shoulder pads and whatever else they wear to engage in a little joust with the camera. The camera won by points innumerable. Doc Miner and Hugh Garner, by kicks, blocks and puns that would put the Four Horsemen to shame, finally succeeded in closing the shutter on all the boys.

Diehl, Associate General Manager AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER Read the Standard-Examiner THE NEWSPAPER WHICH SUPPORTS WEBER COLLEGE Basketball Beard Contest Ends Tonight Contestants in the beard growing contest, which has now been in full swing for two weeks, will be judged tonight at the Sweater and Slack dance, sponsored by the Associated Men Students. Many women students seem to be fearful that the beards will become an obsession with the men. Perhaps, if their face were covered with an itching mat of hair, they would have no fears. Many of the bearded beauties have remarked that a tiny electric shaver will be unable to dent the beard's growth. Judging from some of the beards, this statement might have its good points. On the other hand, all that some of the contestants need is a wet towel. In any event, when the razor meets up with the winning beard, it is going to have a tough fight. Ping Pong Tournament Ends Today Eight contestants remain in the battle for the intra-mural pin-pong title. It is expected that the final games will be played today. The contenders are : Kenny Read, Paul Cawley, Ferron Los- see, Spense Baggs, Joe Bengo-schea, Noble de Hart, Dean Clay ton and Jake weese. Squash games will be run off next week. Granite Tops Weber Swimmers Granite Has Best Team in History Weber and Granite paddlers churned the water to a froth at Granite Thursday, January 19. When the water settled, three new state records had been established and Granite had walked off with a 50 to 22 victory. Granite broke their old medley relay record of 2:07.9 with a time of 1:53.2 for 160 yards. A Granite breast stroke ace, turned in -1:19, chopping 1.8 second from the old record of 1:20.8 for 200-yard breast stroke and turned in a remarkable performance by being clocked at 1:32.2. This time is 10.4 seconds under the former record of "1:23.6 in the 100-yard backstroke. Fernelius, Weber's backstroke artist, turned in a remarkable performance when he was clocked at 1:32.2. This time is 10.4 seconds under the former record of 1:23.6 in 100-yard backstroke. From all indications Granite is the team to beat in the drive for the championship. In a non-conference meet, Weber was edged out by the Agricultural college at Logan on January 12. The final score was 38-30. The A. C. took five first places while Weber took four. The Congden brothers. Bud and Ellsworth, combined to give the A. C. most of their points. The Wildcat swimmers met Logan here Wednesday, January 25.

I Team Splits on Southern Trek Attention, All Master Minds! "If you have a better mouse trap the world will beat a path to your door." Paul Limberg and Mr. Neville, recognizing the truth of that old maxim, send out an invitation to those who wish to spend their leisure moments in the greatest of recreational games. This game originated in a bygone day when mankind was so bewildered by his incessant fight against animals, darkness, ignorance, cold, drafty caves, ugly women, and stupid children, that, in an effort guided by the faintest glimmerings of intelligence, he invented a game which needed such intellectualpre-oc-cupation that he forgot all ulterior problems and situations to become proficient in olaying it. Races came and races went (according to Darwin) but this game has gone on forever. From its initial crude aspects it has attained poise, hauteur and a forbidding mien. Forbidding because only those with the highest intellect and cunning are able to master its intricacies. The game is chess. All wishing to play chess see Paul Limberg or Mr. Neville at once. Why has Evelyn Smith moved out of Sterling Fuller's locker? Weber College Swimmers Make Three New Records During the past few weeks Weber "Wildcats" have been doing some fancy ancTfast swimming. Three new records have been established so far this year compared with those of last year. In the medley class, the new record established this year is 1:53.2, compared with last year's 2:07.9. This record was established by Fernelius, Foulger, and Levitt, three outstanding performers on Weber's team. Foulger alone has established two new records compared with last year. He broke the old breast stroke record of last year,' 1:20.8 by 1:19, and an all new record at Weber college of 1:32.2. Weber is still in close with the leading class of swimmers of other schools, as the following record shows: Won Lost Granite 2 0 Box Elder 2 0 Weber 1 1 Logan 0 2 Bear River 0 2 Girl's in Basketball Tournament Four teams have entered the girls' basketball tournament. In the games played on January 13, Iota Tau Kappa defeated Oty-okwa, and La Dianaeda defeated an unaffiliated team. Games will be played this afternoon at three o'clock and on every other open Friday afternoon. - NOW SHOWING - The Most Exciting Picture You Have Ever Seen! tt . . As I M SlJ&l 1 ." Let's Mention the Signpost When Buying Junior A. A. U. Champion Swim Meet Held at Weber The junior A. A. U. championship swim meet will be held in Ogden, February 15 and 16. This is the first time that this meet has been held outside of Salt Lake City. The Ogden Junior Chamber of Commerce is responsible for this change. The committee in charge of making this meet a success is Ferron Lossee, chairman; Ralph M. Fuller, publicity manager; Bill Burdett, Harry Smith, Phil Ogden, and Dix Jones, college treasurer. Weber college owes much to the Junior Chamber for its fine support in helping Weber. "This swimnVng meet," according to Mr. Lossee, "is open to all amateur swimmers, who may enter by simply sending their application to me at the Weber gym." This championship swimming event will be one of the biggest events on Weber's athletic calendar. Entries have come from A. C, U. of U., Logan high, Bear River high, Box Elder, Granite, Deseret gym, and Weber college, and invitations are being sent to Southern Branch, Idaho, Provo and Richfield. The first night, Wednesday, -reoruary t, line up is: 400-yard relay. Diving (women). 220-yard breast stroke. 220-yard free style. 100-yard backstroke (women). 300-yard medley relay.

Ralph Hancock threatens to cut off his'n because every day he gets to looking more and more like Brigham Young. The women are beginning to be a serious problem. Jack Edwards says he will never win the contest because his beard's got so long that it has curled back up again. Herm Markus looks as if he had washed his face with coal tar and then polished his whiskers with axle grease to give them that natural lustre. All in all, we feel that the fellows have made a fine showing. We estimate that if all of Weber's crops of whiskers were put end to end (in a straight line, mind you), they would reach from the hall fountain to the hall fountain.

Blvd. Basketball Tour Ends in Split Bag Friday, January 20, Weber's basketball team went on a tour in southern Utah to play four games. The colleges played were Branch Agriculture college and Dixie. A game was lost to each of these schools, giving Weber a score of 50 per cent. Because of this, Weber is now in a very close race with the other junior colleges for the basketball title. The last game was played Tuesday night and the team arrived home Wednesday afternoon. Because of the arduous trip, the team suffered a big handicap which makes their record very commendable. Morris Nelson was easily the outstanding player on the trip. Other players who scintellated were Phil Revell and Jack Thomas. B. Y. U. Organized Brigham Young university graduates attended a meeting Monday at eight o'clock p. m. in the lounge of the Weber college gymnasium, and organized a Weber County Chapter of the B. Y. U. alumni. J. Smith Jacobs, class of 1930, and sponsor of the meeting, said there were about 300 men and women in the county eligible for membership. An Ogden chapter of the university alumni has been inactive for about three years, Jacobs added. Neil Peterson, B. Y. U. alumni secretary, was present and assisted in the organization. Rolls of the Weber county chapter, Jacobs said, will be open not only to graduates but all persons who have been in attendance at the university one full term. Purpose of the chapter is to promote interests of the university through Webei? county, and extend the fellowship of its graduates.Wine is the mother, the sperm mother, of all the arts. It was wine, wedded to a lustful life giving sun, that gave birth to dancing, singing, painting, and God-worship. All great poetry and all great songs were first impassioned, conceived, and brought to fruit upon the crimson couch of the torn grape. Wine is at once the coward's courage, the lover's hope, and the laggard's solace. Delicious Lunches Fine Candies MODERN FOUNTAIN At The College Inn Ogden, Utah Phone 4240 |
