Show THE SIGNPOST THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1942 4 Wildcat Gridders Take It On The Chin Twice However, in Third Start Team Cleans Up On Air Corps Eleven Three teams, all boasting heavy and experienced men, have been the opponents of the Wildcat eleven during their first three weeks of school. Bob Davis' purple and white machine took the first two encounters on the chin, but thoroughly trounced their third opponent. Fort Douglas and Hill field are the service teams boasting the greater portion of the weight and experience that the Wildcats have encountered. Weight and experience are two factors that are hard to find on the gridiron at the present time, therefore it was rather expected that the Weberites would have a struggle. Th game with Fort Douglas was a one-sided affair for the limit of the game with scoring on the part of the Fort Douglas machine in all four periods. The nearest the Weber men came to a scoring position was when they battled their way to their opponent's 20-yard line. The 1000 fans that witnessed this game watched the Weber eleven downed under the onslaught of the Soldiers with a score of 45 to 0. Weber's second encounter came when the Bengals from Idaho Southern Branch invaded the Wildcat lair on the evening of October 9. No scoring took place the first quarter but fake passes on the part of the Bengal full back, McCain, resulted in the first blood drawn during the second quarter. During the third quarter Hubburt, substituting for McCain, made a brilliant run of 55 yards to pay dirt bringing the score to 13 for the Bengals and 0 for Weber. No score was made during the fourth quarter. The Wildcats struggled to within one foot of the line of scoring but were repelled by the stronger Bengal team. Final score was, Southern Branch 13, Weber 0. In their third contest the Wildcats came through with flying colors by defeating the Hill field air corp eleven. This was Hill fields' first defeat of their first season. Gene Green and Bob Sneddon were outstanding for Weber with their clever receiving and packing of the pigskin. The purple and white machine drove home their first touchdown with a pass from Green to Sneddon. Two more scores were added in the fourth quarter to make the final score. Weber 19, Hill field 0.

Breezing around the campus at Weber college, I find that a great number of students and faculty members, have been deer hunting. The first student I asked was Q. Rich, football player at the college. Que was talking to his prize dear at the moment, but answered in a pleasing manner such as: "Yah, I got a doe!" "How much did it weigh?" I said smoothly. He was stumped on this question as he couldn't remember or didn't have it weighed. I made sure he had a doe license. In my German class I was asking this same question and two fellows came over and told me how they had bagged their deer. The one fellow, McClure Wilson, said he had been up to Cottonwood; used only three shells, and brought back a two-pointer. This other fellow, sitting kitty-corner from me, declared he had shot a buck weighing close to 200 pounds. Melvin McAllister, a sophomore, was his name. Johnson Gets Three After this class, I was through with school for the day and decided to inquire from a few more sources, so down the hall I went asking every person passing me if they had been deer hunting. Finally as I was passing through the rear doors of the Moench building a fellow by the name of Ernest McKay told me, and about a dozen other students, that he had been hunting and his award was a 180-pound buck. Boy, was he proud! Before I could realize it, I was back in the Moench building talking to faculty member Clair Johnson. He had heard my question and stated that he had shot one buck and two does. He said that the buck was the largest deer he had ever bagged, and weighed close to 250 pounds. My next stop was at the gym, where Harry and I began discussing who had been deer hunting. Harry said that Reed Swenson, Wallace Badley, George Hyde and Clyde Decker, had gone out and had brought back three. Harry didn't know which one hadn't shot UNLBSS VOL) MAU 'EM NOW lUtah State Roller Skating Champion . . Miss Betty Empy, of Ogden, is practicing hard every week to defend the Utah State Championship title which she holds this season. Through careful instruction and-- management, rollerskating in Ogden has been built up to a new high standard. Results of which were shown in both state and national championships. In the Utah state championships, local skaters carried off top honors in practically all events. In the national contests, held at Philadelphia, Bobby Shewell, of Ogden, won third place Girl Athletes Contemplate Enlarged Intramurals For Coming School Year Freshman Vote to Name Vice Prexy, Assistant Manager of Program - one so you readers may draw j your own conclusions.

It weighed almost as much as Doug's football frame. John Dixon, captain of the football team, informed me that he and the president had been deer hunting and had brought back one. "Dad did a great deal of shooting but realized that his aim was not up to par as it could not down a prize like the buck I got." Well, this is enough, so I'm stoppin' askin.' Fish? And How! Isaac Waltons on the faculty managed a few week-ends and "days-off" during the summer, despite the pressure of war labor and campus activities. President Dixon in particular was reported to have stalked the streams of Utah and Wyoming in search of the wily rainbow. But more important than the fish caught are the stories that fishermen bring back concerning those that "just barely got away." President Dixon's best "tale" concerns the stream in Utah county where he threw away his rod and just waded into the water. "The fish were so thick," he said, "that you just bent over and gathered them up by the armsful." We are now waiting for that story to be bettered by Whit Young. Reed Swenson, Dr. Miner, Harold Handley and others who have been "hexed" by the good Saint Isaac. CLEANING, PRESSING, REPAIRING POlJLSENELLISOr DISTINCTIVE DRY CLEANING in his field. There were sixteen skaters, from the Berthana roller rink, made the trip to the national meet in April. The Berthana roller rink has exceptionally fine facilities for parties, with instructors on hand for helping the beginner. Parties, either at the regular session or held privately, receive special rates. The rink is open every night from eight to ten-thirty. The "ping" of tennis balls and the sight of shapely legs outside the English classroom windows in the Moench building will soon serve to inaugurate the unsuspecting freshman into the mysteries of the Women's Athletic association in addition, tnere will be managers for each intramural sport, as well as a vice president and an intramural assistant to be selected from members of the freshman class. Activities to be sponsored by the W. A. A. this year include tennis, volleyball, service ball, basketball, swimming, soft ball, badminton, table tennis, squash, dancing, and fencing. Girls will compete according to club affiliation, as has been the practice in the past, and the winners will gain temporary possession of the trophy now in the possession of Sophvita, last year's victors. A faculty sponsor of the program, to assist Miss Nelson, will be chosen from the women's physical education staff. Game Saturday The Weber Wildcat team will test the mettle of the Logan Marine gridders this Saturday at eight p. m. in the Ogden stadium. Both Weber and the Marines have recently been defeated in encounters with the Fort Douglas eleven, Weber taking the beating with a score of 45 to 0 and the Marines being defeated 13 to 0. The Weber team has seen a great deal of action on the gridiron since thepre-sea-son encounter with the Fort Douglas soldiers and undoubtedly will have a slight advantage over the Marine eleven. This game with the Wildcats will be the third encounter of the season for the Marines, but despite their lack of action they expect to have the situation well in hand before the game is very far gone. Wildcat Record of Past Season Shows Good Work Last Year's Record Presents Challenge To New Swim Squad Paddlers on the 1942-43 Weber college swimming team are faced with a real challenge in the record set up by their predecessors of last year. The 1942 squad, under the direction of Ferron Losee, coach, and Floyd Champncys and Ralph Barnard, co-captains, swept aside all competition to trim such Big Seven schools as Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah State, to swim off with the laurels in the Intermoun-tain Junior A. A. U. meet, and to garner the lion's share of honors in practically every meet held in Utah last season. This year's chances for inter-school victories appear somewhat slimmer, due to uncertainties developed by giving a maximum of effort to war labor and particularly due to the loss of Coach Losee, but the athletic department announces that swimming is still slated for a prominent position on the Weber college athletic program. "The aquatic sport is recognized as a great body builder, and with the excellent facilities offered by the Weber pool, there will undoubtedly be a great deal of splashing and paddling in intramural as well as team activity before the year is out," Coach Swenson states. "Every encouragement will be given to those students who wish to swim. Also, we hope to announce a successor to Mr. Losee within the near future." Physical Education Classes to Stress Football, Says Davis Classes in football are being taught at Weber college this fall, according to Robert Davis, football coach. Every able-bodied college man is encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to learn something about playing football. Two or three classes are taught from one to five in the afternoon by Coach Davis. "Teams will be developed from those who enroll, and competition among the class teams will be held, just as in any other physical education class," explained Mr. Davis. Uniforms and equipment are furnished by the school, and the practices are held in Lester park, park. "This is something new for Weber and I hope for the best of results," stated the coach. Teammates Elect Dixon Captain John Dixon, capable performer of the Weber Wildcats, has drawn the assignment to captain the 1942 football team. This honor was given to Dixon by his teammates early in October. Dixon was with Weber college in '41 and has a reputation of being an exceptionally hard hitter. Dixon replaces Albert Lolotai, who drifted back to Hawaii to do his share in the war effort. Utes Don't Take Ball From Aggies LOGAN, Utah, Oct. 21 (AP) Usually the winner of the football game between Utah university and Utat State Agricultural college keeps the ball used in the contest. But when Utah won, Utah State refused to surrender the ball. "Gotta keep it," a student manager explained. "Can't buy footballs anymore." SWING THAT SCOOP KEEP TH' BOILER HOT.,. n S AM UPHILL RAG...

C. athletic conference in most departments last year, there was no dearth of victories or of glory on the part of the Wildcat Warriors in any sport. Beginning with football, Coach Bob Davis was confronted with fewer players than had ever turned out for a try at the pigskin sport. Yet with a small, green squad, the Wilflcats managed to finish the league play with a 50-50 record, including a stunning upset over the Farmers of B. A. C, who had one of their strongest and largest squads in years. (The score, remember? 20-0,) as well as hold the championship Mesa Mavericks to a slim 7-6 victory. Coach Swenson's casaba artists started out at a snail's pace, dropping their first two contests to Carbon and Mesa, only to ride the crest of the wave to a thrilling victory in the post-season tournament held at the Ogden high school. In the regular league play, the Wildcats finished second to Mesa in one of the closest races seen in years. The top four teams par ticipated in the tournament, which saw the final league standing almost reversed with Mesa, the champions in league play, going down to defeat on two successive nights. Mesa again was pacemaker in track and field competition, Weber second. However, Willie Thomas, the great little colored speedster, carried the purple and white to enough victories to be acclaimed No. 1 man of the conference. Thomas, Jay Heslop, and John Piers garnered first places in the meet and were sent- to Pasadena to compete in the national junior college events. Perhaps the outstanding performances of any Weber athletic aggregation were turned in by the swimming team, under the direction of Coach Ferron Losee. Weber swimmers took two meets from their elders of Utah State by top-heavy scores, following this up by a grand-slam (they won every place in every event) against Wyoming U., and a hard-fought victory from the Big Seven champion Colorado U. aggregation at Boulder, Colo. Following the Colorado meet, the sports editor of the Denver "Rocky Mountain News" wrote that the Wildcats should be classed along with Michigan and Yale as one of the three foremost swimming teams in the United States. Tennis players were handicapped by lack of funds and competition, yet they succeeded in swamping Westminster college in their only duel meet of the season, while Donald Shaub and McLean Johnson garnered first place in the conference meet at Logan just before the close of school. Wildcat Is Best On Tossing End EVANSTON, 111., Oct. 21 (AP) Northwestern's Otto Graham currently holds the honors for the year's best single-game passing performance, but the dark-browed junior halfback only laughs when terms like "slingshot wing" and "rubber arm" are used to describe his ability. I just throw, he said today. "Some days I feel hot and other days I can't hit a thing. Against Michigan I just felt good." In the Michigan game last Saturday which the Wolverines won, 34-16, Graham completed 20 of 29 passes and gained 295 yards. He won wide fame last year for a season's mark of 36 completions in 75 tries but in four 1942 games he has hit the target 37 out of 73, Graham's "hot day" against the SMALLEY BROTHERS INC.

These Gridders Are Jitterbugs STORRS, Conn., Oct. 21 (AP) From now on, the University of Connecticut football team is going to try to jitterbug its way to victory.Coach J. Orleans Christian has long been concerned because the weekly military science drill has prevented him from getting his squad onto the practice field on Mondays when, he felt, it was im portant for the players to loosen up any muscle kinks that might have developed from the game the previous Saturday. Then he hit upon the jitterbug idea and, he said today, it worked to perfection. Monday night he engaged the Storrs community house, enlisted the aid of a student orchestra and told his 40 football players to round up their favorite co-eds and truck on down. They did for two solid hours, and the coach said it would be a regular Monday night feature until the season ends. Wolverines ran his passing total for the season to 482 yards. Only four of his throws have been intercepted.Lynn Waldorf, Northwestern's coach, thinks Graham is the best passer he's had since he took over the Wildcats. "He has big hands and a good arm, and a swell sense of timing," Waldorf beamed. "He's great with a wet ball, too." The smartest brogue of any year! Here's style that stands up under winter's harsh treatment The moment you slip them on you'll discover their friendliness of fit . . . try on a pair of Jarman "Brogadiers" today let the shoe horn be the judgel $f85 to $J5Q LASTS! MICHIGAN GETS OFFENSE PRAISE CHICAGO, Oct. 21 (AP) Michigan, becoming the most talked-of football team in the Western conference, has received its best verbal pat on the back from Lynn Waldorf, Northwestern coach. "Offensively, Michigan is the finest team I have seen in the conference in eight years," he observed. "That 34 to 16 defeat they pinned on us last Saturday was the worst beating I've taken in 18 years of coaching. "You hear a lot about Tom Kuz-ma, but the public is neglecting Captain George Ceithaml, Forest Evashevski's 1940 understudy. This Ceithaml at quarterback is one of the finest blockers in the game and an excellent field general." "However, it's the line that makes Michigan an outstanding team," Waldorf emphasized. "Mervin Pre-gulman is doing a good job at his new center position. Julius Franks is a great guard. And take this tackle, Al Wistert he's the best offensive lineman in the midwest. When he cuts a man down there's nothing left but the stump." PIONEER LEAGUE HIGH IN CHARITY SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 21 (AP) Only teams in class AA or A leagues exceeded the contribution made by the Pioneer baseball league to war charities during the 1942 season, a report of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues showed today. The Pioneer league turned over $2545.45 from its benefit all-star game at Salt Lake City last August 6. No other league of class C rating or lower made such a contribution, the report said. The Pocatello-Fort Douglas exhibition game at Pocatello produced an additional $500 for war charities. 8o6tn. Btolj rs 490 25th Street Ogden, Utah The College Book Store |
