Show 4 WEBER COLLEGE SIGNPOST THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1944 Intramural Gonfalon Goes to Faculty Crew Both Sides Sports; Increase Spirt of Friendliness at Weber (Sports note: This article on the recent big three-game Intramural cries Ik not written up just like It should be, but in these times you got to take what you can get. Try to think of it like a column, but the writer doesn't want his name used as a bye-line.) In ;i thrilling three-game hoop aeries duringmid-quarter, the teachers of Weber college clearly outclassed the students though it is only fair to say that the students tried very hard and did their very best. The first two games were with tho vaunted Wildcats club but some of the more observing girls in the audience said they are not wildcats, they are kittens. Ha. Ha. Ralph Kofoed did very well as always, as did the others as each one of them tried to do what he could. They substituted very rapidly from time to time but could not find the proper substitutes. Hoys Miffed Then the boys would become quite angry and get in the way of the faculty so that the game at times became rougher than it would have been If the Wildcats had known more of the regulations. But when the instructors saw that the boys were losing out in the first game, they kindly slowed up. But even then the boys did not sense a kind deed. They jumped in and struck right and lift, even clawing sometimes. Dr. Dixon was seriously scratched on his head and fouled. He was taken out of the game at once, as he Is too important a man to risk when the other team fails to observe the rules. Play Was Clean In the second game, the play was cleaner and it was noticeable from tho start that the Wildcats knew that they were lost and so played more in accordance with well brought up conduct. However, all in all, Wildcat club added much to school spirit by suggesting the fun of these two games. The faculty were very gracious in accepting because hardly a one of them has been in the gymnasium since the war started in earnest. Then right off, they played not only two games but three. Weber should be proud of having such a fine faculty. They contribute much to our fine spirit here, which is brought about by the teachers and students mixing together fraternally.Both games were taken by the faculty. They brought home the bacon. Dazzling Plays Of the third game with the regular college team, one can only praise both sides. The college team showed they would not give up from first to last. Yet at the time the game unofficially ended, the teams were in practically a tie. One team cannot be said to have had much advantage over the other though both Mr. Davis and Mr. Swenson were forced to be way from the game and thus could not work out some more dazzling plays for the pedagogues, like the ones used against the boys' club previously. Both Hatch and I felt this to be a handicap for the instructors. Yet the game was really a tie because the referee could not stay until the finish and practically quit the floor about five minutes early. This kept tho players in clinches and struggling for the ball when there should have been toss-ups to put the ball back in play. The score was thought to be about 29-26 for the regulars.

Embittered Ball Player Calls For Fair Replay Charles Miller, forward for the former varsity, which played the faculty team recently, wishes to register a "beef" and also a challenge to the faculty team. Certain unsatisfactory conditions, ho feels, prevented a decisive contest at the last meeting. Miller wishes anyone that is in the way of what he is trying to say here to take offense at is. But when It comes to writing he feels certain limitations. Now if it was talking... Dear Editor: The term "gopher" is of course a pen-name for "varsity." I am writing this letter concerning that body mangling epic of twelve o'clock noon Tuesday. February fifteenth, Nineteen Hundred and Forty Four. I have heard several comments since that time as to the sportsmanship of the faculty for exposing themselves to the ruthless methods of the so-called varsity. As you know the outcome of the game was definitely in favor of the varsity, but through no fault of the gophers, for if they had accomplished this mission for that day, the opposition would have been the first to occupy the new wing of the Dee hospital. As to the name of the opposition, "The Gophers," I do not know if this Is self-inflicted or not, but in my opinion it most certainly does not fit, or even resemble the character of that supposed team. Gopher as defined by Webster is, "a burrowing rodent the size of a large rat." You may draw your own conclusions from this definition. That outfit was definitely not of burrowing nature with the exception of one, who spent most of his time crawling around on his frontal portion, evidently looking for some place to burrow. As to the second part of this definition I will say nothing. In conclusion I wish to say that I was greatly disappointed with the game, if you will permit to call it that, because of the way in which Is was played. I am sure that I express the wishes of the entire varsity team when I say we would like to play again in the near future and with a suitable referee and umpire. This Is no reflection upon George Bowman, who did the very best anyone could have done under the adverse conditions. Charles C. Miller "Gopher Forward. Nova Scores Early Mit Triumph LOS ANGELES, Feb. 23 (UP) Ringwise Lou Nova proved a year's layoff hadn't hurt him last night by pounding out a seventh round technical knockout over big Ben Moroz, the seven-foot giant from Philadelphia, last night at Olympic auditorium. The Alameda, Cal., ex-contender battered his 289-pound opponent from the opening bell until 2:48 of the seventh when the bout was halted. Moroz, groggy and staggering under a lightning barrage of body and head blows, was unable to land a telling punch. Nova was unable to flatten Moroz during the one-sided bout, but took every round. Nova weighed 209. In a dull six-round semi-final, Eddie Dyer, 160, Tulsa, Okla., traded blows with Roscoe Smith, 153, Los Angeles, for a draw.

Shelton Sees Big Sports Boom SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 23 (AP) Ev Shelton, coach of the 1943 national champion Wyoming university basketball team, sees a postwar athletic boom in the nation's colleges. Predicting that most of the men who left college to join the armed services will return to school after the war, he said: "Why, some of the little kids I had at Wyoming last year have grown up over the six-foot marker and now scale 200 pounds. Give me some of those kids back and I'll really have a team." Shelton, with Wyoming university abandoning intercollegiate competition for the duration, now is tutoring the Dow Chemical team of Detroit, currently on a basketball tour of Utah.

Don Hutson to Fill New Post CHICAGO, Feb. 23 (UP) Don Hutson, who will serve as coach for the Green Bay Packers next season instead of regular end, is due to make news in 1944 because he won't be the National football league's scoring champion. Under the "man bites dog" definition of news, it was nothing unusual today when official league statistics showed that Hutson once again had copped the scoring crown for the fourth consecutive year with 117 points in 10 games. Hutson is the only professional gridder ever to score more than 100 points in a season and the only lineman to win the honor. His 36 conversions and three field goals gave him a 45-point margin over Bill Paschal, the New York Giants' rookie fullback, who won ground-gaining honors Both Hutson' and Paschal had 12 touchdowns. McSpaden Back in Golf Circulation PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 23 (AP) Harold (Jug) McSpaden, hottest golfer in the winter circuit, hit the tournament trail again today, rejected for military service because of acute asthma. The 34 - year - old Philadelphia Country club pro was classified 4-F after an army induction center examination yesterday and left immediately to compete in a tournament in New Orleans. McSpaden's draft board called him back from his triumphant western tour several days ago. Chicago Is Tops In Attendance CHICAGO, Feb. 23 (AP) Chicago's Blackhawks haven't been able to keep in the National hockey league first division, but they're tops in attendance this season. President Bill Tobin says the Hawks, with six more home games, will have played before 350,000 fans, a record. In 19 home games, the atendance was 263.606. He also said indications were that the league's total attendance record of 1.564.999 set in 1941-42 would be broken this season. Ski Meet Set JACKSON HOLE.

Navy Cadet Team Win Casaba Game by Route Weber Navy Cadets, reorganized several times during the basketball season, have played a number of games since sports were last reported. Against Bennett's the score was "4 to 44 for the cadets. Kil-patrick threw in 19 of the winning points. In a second game, this time with the Bank Smokery, the score for the cadets was 58 to 28. Provost netted 16 points. Coach of this flashy aggregation is Reed K. Swenson, varsity coach. These games were part of the local service league competition. In the first half the cadets lost a few games. So far in the second half they have lost once, to Clearfield Navy. They dropped the game by five points. Score was 39-34. Cadets Crack Up In Armstrong Preliminary Go In the service league preliminary Monday evening for the Dow-Ecker game at Ogden high, the Weber naval cadet courtmen suffered a setback at the hands of the strong Armstrong team, 66 to 35. The victory was easy for the tall Armstrong team, who completely overcame their smaller rivals. The past few weeks the cadets have suffered because of a lack of regular practice and workouts. Their pace was permanently impaired some weeks ago when several players who had been worked into the combination and were in top condition were transferred. This loss occurred prior to the game with the Logan Collegians. Since then Coach Reed Swenson has done little with the organization.Provo Hoopsters To Oppose Chemis PROVO, Utah, Feb. 23 (UP) The Provo Steelers, one of the ranking teams of the Utah Service league, will exhibit their wares to night against the high-scoring Dow Chemical quintet from Michigan, one of the leading contenders for national A.

He has failed in every sport he has tried. He has thirty-one failures to his credit. But there is another exceptionally poor athlete who has tried Rollo's record and Rollo has decided to put him out of the race. One night last week, while wear- ing his thumb slowly to the bone pushing a nickel plunger on a (race horse machine) music box, he noticed a peculiar game where pins were set up and then knocked down with a big black ball. And as is now quite customary for Rollo it looked quite simple. Rollo asked the proprietor if he might try it. The proprietor, with much foresight, cleared three lanes and put Rollo in the center one. He also had foresight enough to equip the coloredpin-setter-upper with a complete baseball catching outfit, and after putting bars on the insides of the windows, heavy screening over the light bulbs and clearing the balcony of spectators, he thought it reasonably safe for Rollo to begin. Rollo laughed to himself and stuck his big thumb in a small hole of the heaviest ball on the rack, backed up against the wall and began running towards the pins with the good intentions of stopping at the foul line. With a terrific lunge his arm shot out. At that instant he tried extricating his thumb, but that was as far as he got, the ball had gained the momentum of a cannon ball and Rollo was forced to follow the ball at an amazing speed down the alley. About half way down he landed and was dragged into ten ten-pins. Thepin-setter-upper couldn't stand the sight and had turned his back. This was a foolish move because it left him unprotected. The ball hit him square and broke both of his big toes. A stray pin caught the proprietor right on the head (they say they are still feeding him through a tube, no teeth). But Rollo rose defiantly and chuckled, "Well, here is one sport I'm no failure in. I knocked them all down." Lou Boudreau Back in I -A CHICAGO, Feb. 23 (UP) Lou Boudreau, 26, manager of the Cleveland Indians, said today he had been reclassified into 1-A by his Harvey, 111., draft board, but had received no notice when to report for his physical examination.Boudreau, the father of two children, will be the first major league manager accepted for military service if he passes his physical examination.

Wings Off on Cage Jaunt SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 23 (AP) The Salt Lake Airbase Wings, beaten only once in 24 starts, leave tonight for an invasion of the eastern slope of the Rockies with indications their high-scoring ace, Ed Ehlers, may be out of the lineup. Ehlers, one-time star for Purdue university, injured his back and was out of the Wings' game with the Salt Lake Sheriffs Monday night, a contest which the airbase quintet managed to win by the slender margin of 54 to 52. Ehlers spent yesterday in the airbase hospital undergoing heat treatments and he expected to make the eastern trip with the squad but may be able to see little action. The Wings play twice In Denver, against Buckley Field Thursday night and Lowry Field Friday night, and will clash with the top-rated Fort Warren team at Cheyenne, Wyo., Saturday night. Only Ecker Studio of Salt Lake City has been able to trim the Wings, winning 51 to 43 in a. Utah Service league encounter. The Wings earlier had beaten Eckers 61 to 40. Numbered among the Wings' victims is the University of Utah which last week accepted an invitation to play in the national Metropolitan tournament at Madison Square Garden, New York City, next month. Sundra Ready for Army Induction ATLANTIC CITY, N.

Idaho Scares Huskies Fixe SEATTLE, Feb. 23 (AP) University of Idaho almost put an end to Washington's string of 17 straight conference victories last night, but the Huskies came from behind in the second half to defeat the Vandals, 69-55.
