'FUMBLEITIS' Weber Fumbles Blamed For Homecoming Loss Fumbles paved the way for all three of the Fullerton touchdowns last Friday night at the Ogden stadium. Victory nodded the hornet's way under the 20-8 score caused by a case of fumbleitis, a rare disease that seldom comes to a wildcat squad. The Weber bovs fumbled nine times during the battle and Fuller-ton recovered eight of these. In the first period of play, quarterback Steward, fumbled the wildcat kick-off, and Ray Rhead recovered for the Weberites. First Down Backs Vance Bitton and Bill Kessler parried the ball down to the Fullerton 16-yard line, from where DeMello passed to Gardner for a first down on the eight. The wildcats fumbled the ball on the next play and the hornets recovered on their own seven. Hodge of Fullerton ran the ball from their own 45 to the Weber 18 and then lost posession of the leather on downs. Fullerton Recovers Bill Kessler fumbled for Weber on the opening play and Fullerton recovered on the-os. rernvpred on the wildcat 17. Three successive plays carried the coast team to the Weber one and Steward scored from there on a quarterback sneak The conversion was made by Osborne on a place kick. Hornet Touchdown A few plays after the kickoff, Bitton fumbled on the Weber 23 and the hornets recovered. Weber gained possession of the ball on downs on their own 35. Milt DeMello passed once again but the pigskin was intercepted on the 50 and ran down to the wildcat 17. From here, Cunningham passed to Keith's Korner By Keith Hunt Boaz for a touchdown. The placement was good. The score now read 14-0. After an exchange of kicks, the Weber boys had hold of the ball on their own 18-yard line. Marv Felt fumbled at this point and the hornets recovered again. A pass to Boaz gave the f ullerton gnaaers their last score. The extra kick was blocked. Weber Comeback Weber came back with blood in their eyes in the last half and captured a safety for two points. A pass from DeMello to Felt gave thp wildcats six more points, and the Weberites began to roll. Miya-sato's kick for the extra, however, was blocked. Jimmy Miyasato got even for the hlnnked kick when he intercepted a Fullerton pass and raced down to the hornet 35. A great thrill was provided the fans when Bill Kessler caught a DeMello pass on tne t ui-lerton 23 and sprinted to the one-foot line, where he was finally knocked out of bounds. On the next play the wildcats fumbled and Ful lerton recovered. The gun went off with the hornets in possession of the leather.

What is the matter with the Weber student body? Where is the life, the enthusiasm, the all-out interest that should be present at any college function but have been so noticeablyl absent from any of our football games thus far this year? Our Homecoming game last Fri-Hciv whpn student suDDort of the s-;imp. should have been at a peak, was a shining example of just how little interest and enthusiasm can hp shown hv a student crouo as a nhnlp rinp disgusted male Weber student was overheard to remark Hint our cheerinc section had about as much life as the Rose Rooms crew on a Sunday morning, fit. is hevnnd me how a WC stu dent could acquire information to make such a comparison.; One out-of-town visitor, a dele gate at the J. C. convention here last week commented on the great interest shown in social clubs at Weber. At Friday's game he was given greater proot. At tne top or the stands two unidentified men's social units, one with their white hats, the other with their jug, were carrying on their own little yen contest, completely ignoring the efforts of the cheerleaders down on the field. Strung out on the fringes of the crowd were other men's proiins. evidentlv oblivious of the fact that they are a part of the Weber student body. It seems as though our social units revel in their independence and shun parti cipating as a part of the student body. Annthpr "snnr" hnnneninff at the last game occured when, during the thiT-ri iinrt fourth nnarters. mere took place a mass migration of our students, from the stands, on out through the stadium gates. Those "few" loyal students ana tne alumni who remained will recall that these hist few moments contained the Jensen Floral Co. Say It With Flowers PigskinTitle Annexed by Sigma Team Handing the gym class its first defeat of the year, Sigma took the first half intramural championship by virtue of a close, 7-6 victory. Coming from behind, Sigma took the opening kickoff of the second half and drove straight to a touchdown without giving up possession of the ball. Sensational Catch T'l-ie ririvp was canned bv a sen- sational driving catch of one of Lloyd Neville's passes by Keith Bringhurst. This catch was gooa for six points ana tiea tne game nn fnr fiicma (!vm scored in the "0 second period when Jack Spencer intercepted a Sigma pass ana ran 20 yards to score. The game went into overtime but Sigma left little doubt as to who was going to win as .Neville intercepted a gym pass on first down. He then proceedea to nit uick Mitchell with passes twice in a row to place the ball on the gym 19-irnrH Hnp which left Sisrma more than enough yardage to win the game. Dorm Bests Alpha is.no The nnwerfnl Dorm team tinned Alpha Rho 6-0 to win the consolation championship.

It was evidenced that our team didn't give up, and one can imag- ne how the coaches, the team, ana our alumni members, must have felt ns thpv witnessed the students themselves "throwiner in the towel that second half.

I suggest that we at least o-ive thpm the oDDortunitv to "try" and inject some lire into our pre viously inert rectums lnrnl hnvs hack is the fact that Compton is twice the size of Weber. Strength in Numbers If you will recall LACC was also much larger than our Ogden school, and what a shellacing our boys gave them. Thus, the saying, "strength in numbers" is not always a determining factor, and the wildcats would enjoy handing the coast team a defeat. Also in the game last year, held in Ogden, the Weber boys graDbea the ball, and in the first five min utes of nlav sweet the field to score and convert with the extra point. This was the nrst time in two Compton seasons that they had been scored on first by any team. Two Touchdowns Compton came back in the second quarter with an aggressive and spirited squad. They proceeded to roll up two touchdowns and almost had one more when the gun went riff ending the first half. The tartars beeran to show their fine action in the last even more imnressivelv as thev rolled into Weber territory so often that the wildcats really felt at home on their own side of the field. Compton Favored The Compton club will be the favorites due to the fact that the Ogden boys will have traveled a long way and are not used to the coast climate. Although with every other evident consideration, the lo cal mentory are expected to sparkle. Glendale contest. Nov. 11, will ac a little more in favor of Weber. provided that the wildcats do not sustain anv miunes in the game with Compton. They will have had a brief rest and enough time to consider new plays to be used. In short thev will be readv tor any thing Glendale may happen to turn loose. Band Supports Much suDDort will be given the team by the well organized and capable band, under Delmar UieK- son's direction. The AMb-AWS smoker held last week was a de termining factor in the success of the team's jaunt to the coast, be cause of the money that it provided for the band. VETAS Confectionery 28th & Wash.
