Swimfest Contest With Cougars Proves Close, but Diastrous to Weber Last Fifteen Seconds Bring the Impossible As BYU Reserve Raises Score From Tie to 53-51 By IRAN WATTS The Brigham Young university game with Weber college proved to be one of the fastest and most interesting games of the year. During the warm-up both teams were really pouring the "old ball" through the hoop. The whistle blew, and the ball seemed to bounce into everyone's hands, and yet no one could get hold of it. The B. Y. U. reserves made the first basket, which was soon followed by Weber's dropping in a beauty. Weber was really in fighting with Fox at the helm, and it seemed as though Weber was in for a success. Wat Misaka sparked Weber into a real game by playing "hide and go seek" with the B. Y. U. fellows. Max Jensen was definitely in the game, with his low, smooth, sweeping baskets. On the first time out Weber was leading with a score of 12 to 11, and the crowd was enjoying the game immensely. The two teams were playing a "pickup" type of game, and some of the players really needed to be nipUorl lin 4 Carl Buehler made his quota of fouls for the evening early and was replaced by Bob Peterson, who put his heart in the game. All through the game both teams took turns making baskets, and neither of them could get a lead. With the score reading 24 to 23 for Weber, Peterson was replaced by Jack Adamson, and soon after Eldon Malmrose replaced Wat Misaka and put in his share of baskets with his looping left hand shot. The whistle blew and another replacement ran out onto the floor. This time Rodger Edens replaced Max Jensen and played a worthwhile game as his substitute. Weber Leads at Half At the half Weber was leading the game by one hard earned point, 29 to 28, and really gave Weber's band something to play about. The whistle blew for the second half to begin, and B. Y. U. reservists were determined to sink a bask- Tumblers Put Their Hearts Into Their Work, With Startling Results By LA VAR WOOD The tumbling team of Weber college has soared to new heights. At the call of Coach Reed K. Swenson, twenty "boys from various gym classes were mustered together, and after but three weeks of intensive training, a coordinated body of men came forth to bring honor and fame to Weber. This group has spent an average of two hours a day in the Central gym, learning the tactful art of effective skill of self defense, and bringing entertainment to various organizations in this vicinitv. 2 The boys begin the days workout with a few head, shoulder and backrolls. Then the apprata are rolled ount and the real work begins. They work with two leather rummy horses, parallel bars, large iron rolling wheel, two spring boards and two safety belts, used to help the boys learn the proper technique. Harold Thompson, Ken Tucker, and Rio Yamineto are the three men who do the breath taking parallel bar work, and when performing they really keep the crowd guessing. The boys are forever seeking something new, and with a little persuasion they succeed in accomplishing many things that seem impossible to the layman.The team's debut was at the Bushnell hospital, in Brigham City, and proved to be a hilarious success. The soldiers were held spellbound for half an hour by the exhibitions. With one success chalked up to their credit, the team indulged in more arduous training RODEO CAFE for "SIZZLING STEAKS" PAUL GOVERN Prop.

Just a Family Affair The Peterson brothers were in the game, opposing each other, and brotherly love really prevailed. Just as big brother, Rolfe Peterson, attempted to bring the score up for B. Y. U. reservists, little brother Bob Peterson intercepted the ball and turned the tables. Soon following, big brother took his turn warming the bench. Things Happen With fifteen seconds left to play, the score was tied- 51 to 51, and it was still anybody's game. But again one of those things that don't happen happened. Number eight of the B. Y. U. reservists dropped the ball through the hoop from the middle of the floor, leaving the final score 51 to 53. The B. Y. U. reservists were the winners by a real fight. and were soon called on again to perform. This time the team was invited to Roy for a dinner with the Lakeview state Aaronic Priesthood convention. After thoroughly Oh, The Irony of It WE FIGURED a outline for this little number was unnecessary. The boys in the commando classes know only too well what the pose means. ESTABLISHED 167 Men Schedule Squash as Next Event Phoenix Leads Intramural Competition With Total of 477 Points With the completion of basketball the next event in men's intramurals is to be squash. Both doubles and singles will be played. Each club is to select what they believe to be their three best squash players and enter two of them in the doubles bracket and the other in the singles.There should be some fine competition in the squash tournament. John Vernieu of Excelsior is an outstanding performer at the game and should be a favorite in singles, or if teamed with another played he should give any other team plenty of hot competition. It seems that Vernieu has been practicing during his free periods of geology and psychology and is in really fine condition for a good fast game of squash. Although his opponents have not been the best in the world, Vernieu feels that he can wear a blister on most of the players in the running. Mr. Charles Osmond and Mr. M. L. Stevenson of the faculty are two of the finest players in Ogden city and will undoubtedly play for the faculty. Phoenix Leads The standings thus far in events show Phoenix in the lead with 477 points and Vikings second with 410 points. Vikings had an outstanding vol leyball team, and came out with the championship; Phoenix finished in second place. In basketball Phoe nix collected the most points and Vikings fell below par; thus Phoe nix is able to lead forth in intra murals. The standings at present are as follows: Phoenix, 477. Vikings, 410. Alpha Kho, 388. Faculty, 326. Excelsior, 309. Sigma, 223. Frenlsti, 140. Skulls, 84. stuffing themselves with food at an excellent dinner, they gave their tumbling exhibition. With groans and creaking muscles the team re tired to the dressing room, and returned clad in their colorful at tire, full of pep and vigor and ready to give the crowd a real perform ance. They ran through their act smoothly and the crowd expressed hearty appreciation and sincere thanks. The next morning the boys per formed for the Weber college stu- dent body. The program began with rope climbing and a parallel bar and weight lifhting act in which Fred Roland, Ken Tucker, Harold Thompson, James Clifford Blair Jr. Dee Anderson, and Rio Yamamoto were participants. Next the turn biers came rolling out on the mats to give a side-splitting performance. There were a few mistakes. but it was hard to tell whether they were just acting or really trying. The students seemed to enjoy the acts and applauded for more. All Tense Moment in B. ATTA BOY, MAX!

Outstanding Anyway Despite the draft the 1943 joust for the championship of the intermountain region will offer one of the most outstanding junior college tournaments ever to be held in the state.

Those selected include: Carl Buehler, Norman Fox, Wat Misaka, Max Jensen, Eldon Malm-rose, Rod Edens, Bob Peterson, Bob Carney, Jack Adamson, Ray Noorda, and Vern Smith.
