This in no new asignment for the speedy Wallace as he served as captain of the championship Weber High squad of 1948. Weber Remains Undefeated, Tests Ricks Tonite Coach Reed K. Swenson's Weber Wildcats get the acid test in their games with Ricks college at Rex-burg tonight and tomorrow. Weber is currently top man on the totem pole with four conference victories in as many starts, and a double victory over the Vikings would place them in a favorable position. While the Rexburg crew has only one win in four starts, the defending champs could be upsetters. Weber has rolled over the Boise Broncos and the Southern Idaho of Education in league tilts thus far, and have established themselves as co-favorites along with Boise. Ricks, on the other hand, was slow getting started and dropped two straight to the Broncos before their machine started to function. Coach Swenson will take a traveling squad of fifteen players on the Idaho trip while Coach "Andy" Anderson will take his crew to the Ute Field House in Salt Lake to test the Utah Freshmen as a preliminary to the Utah-Wyoming Skyline conference headliner. On Monday night, the Wildcats will travel to Logan to play the preliminary tilt with the Aggie frosh preceeding the B. L. U., Utah State battle. Coach Swenson expects to take his entire squad of twenty-two men for the game with the greenhands. Snow, Swensonment Dampen Albion Cagers Despit a delay in game time be cause of heavy snow storms, the Weber Wildcats defeated Southern Idaho of Education 62-47 before a sparse crowd. The Weberites were forced to pour on the coal in the second half in order to smother a desperate third quarter rally by the Albion cagers. Rangy Laurence Stone led the Ogden hoopermen with 18 tallies, Keith Sewell split the strings for 14 and Guard Darrel Tucker hit for 10 decimals. Ken Wallace, Albien forward sank five goals from the field and three of four charity throws for 13 markers to lead the home team. The game was delayed an hour and a half because of poor road conditions and the heavy snow storm which kept the Weber team from reaching Albion from Burley. The players cars were finally escorted to the game and back again by a snow plow. Photographers VALENTINE PORTRAITS 2443 Wash.

Weber Gladiators Capture Titles In Junior AAU Boxing Tourney When you'r holding four aces in a poker hand it's hard to beat. The same goes for the four men Weber College entered in the Junior A. A. U. Boxing championships, who all came out on the long end of the deal. Charlie Kalani chilled two op-ponants in a matter of 36 seconds to gain the Senior Division heavyweight championship, and along with it the reputation of being the hardest puncher in the ranks. Glen Clary, former Weber high beak buster, stood toe to toe with Grant Lloyd of Snow college for three hard-fought rounds to capture the 175-pound Senior Division light-heavy weight crown. For three nights Merlin Sprouse felled opponants with hard punches from either hand, and on the last night, TKO'd Ted Wilson of the state school in 50 seconds of the first round to win with ease the Junior Division 160-pound title. Last, but not least, is little Gene Walker, winner of the Senior Division 126-pound disdom by virture of his knockout over Vernon Dim-ick, of Snow college in 1:03 of the first round. Walker had no breather bout preceeding the title match, as he was pitted against a splendily trained Don Ernsten, of Salt Lake, who gave Gene three rounds of fistic trouble no end, before Walker was awarded the decision. These same four fistic marvels will be entered in the annual Ogden Golden Gloves to be held Feb. 5, 6 and 7 at the Ogden high school gymnasium. Summary: Weber S. I. C. E.

Robert A. Taft. Ogden Billiards "PENTHOUSE" For Billiard Recreation 2408 Wash. Blvd. (UPSTAIRS) Ccsfs Maul Drones In Heated Battles The Weber Wildcats dumped the Branch Agricultural college Bronc-as twice, to the tune of 61-49, and 64-61 victories, to run their winning streak to seven games. In the first encounter, hucky Jerry Downs caught fire and sent field goals and two for five charity tosses through the nets for a total of 14 counters. Stone, Weber forward, was good for 11 tallies, followed by Sewell and Madsen with 8 points apiece. Sorenson, the Bronco captain, swished 11 points in to lead his mates in scoring. Big Max Bond sank eight points and did a hangup backboarding job. The second game proved to be a much more thrilling encounter, as the Wildcats saw a strong lead of 64-48 margin dwindle with just three minutes remaining. The dogged Broncos fought back and speared the' nets for 13 tallies to pull within three points of the favored Weber team before time ran out. Jerry Downs was again top man in the scoring department for Weber with 16 tallies. Veteran Keith Sewell once again trailed close behind with 13 decimals. For the Aggies, it was Earl Reese who hogged scoring honors for the evening with 19 points.

Wallace is majoring in engineering at Weber, and he is an "A" student in most of his classes, which is no easy tack when you consider the time spent on the hardwoods.

Boise college's six-foot seven-inch center, Hubbinger, is leading scorer with a 13.5 average in six games to date. Tucker, this is also no new experience. Tucker, who also hails from Weber High, was captain of the 1949 Weber team that placed third in the State-meet. The long, lean Tucker, gained top scoring honors in the state tourney and was all-state guard in every-ones lineup. Darrel also plays baseball, besides being a demon on the courts. He performed at third base for the Vets of Foreign Wars in the Ogden Semi-pro league, and guarded the hot corner for South Ogden in the Farm Bureau circuit. Besides doing this double duty job in hardball, he roamed the outfield for the Ogden Business college in the Metropolitan Softball league. Darrel has two pet hobbies, one is eating and the other is sleeping. He is a member of the old school of men who say "gentlemen prefer blondes." The Signpost sports department wish these two fine cagers good luck in the future, and offer them our congratulations.
