Show THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1941 THE SIGNPOST Weber Tank Scene of Annual Swimming Meet Swimming Coach Feron Losee an-ing for either gold, silver or bronze meuais wmcn win aaiuou iu first, second, and third places respectively," Coach Losee explains. Because of the number of participants in these swimming events, it will be necessary to hold trial heats for each event. These heats will be held at five p. m. each day and the same events will be held at night. In addition to the regular running of events each evening there will be a demonstration of comic diving and a well trained group of Weber "menmaids" will give several demonstrations of aquatic formations. The advantage of this meet over all senior meets is that the entries are given more of a chance to show themselves while in the senior meets there are too many swimmers eliminated. During the last two years Weber's team has taken over its share in points. This year coach Losee expects his team to make it a triple occasion. The prices for the meet will be 10 cents for students and 15 cents for adults for the trial heats each afternoon. The evening prices will :be 15 cents for students and 25 cents for adults each night. nounces tnat tne most ouibtauuuiB swimming meet of the year in the intermountain area will be held in the Weber college pool during the days and nights of February 12 and 13. This is the Junior A. A. U. championship swimming meet wherein over 200 men and women will participate." There will be contestants from all the intermountain universities, junior colleges, and some high schools. Last year Weber college was successful in having two men gain championships. Claire W h i t e 1 y maintained his high standard of ability by "diving away" with the diving championship. The second championship Weber came through with was the 220 free-style sprint which was captured by Perry Lea-vitt.This year Coach Losee expects to enter an even stronger team in the meet. With Whitely taking over the diving chances are even greater. Not only the men will have the "finns" but also the women of Weber will be well represented. "The finest swimmers in the intermountain area will be participat- Faculty and Sigs Enter In Shoot Faculty and Sigma Delta were the only clubs to enter in the "Bunny Shoot" Sigma was victorious on the drive by bagging 125 rabbits. The Sigma fellows said they had loads of fun and are planning another shoot in the near future. They stated that the rabbits were so plentiful that they took pitty on the young rabbits and only shot the old ones. The Sigma boys are determined to overtake the faculty in intramurals. The faculty still holds quite an edge over any other teaim in intramurals. They boosted their score up by bagging 409 rabbits. A little side bet took place in the faculty drive between Bob Davis and Feron Losee. Bob Davis challenged Feron Losee, who was very eager to accept. The score between these two men was close, but there was a difference. Bob Davis shot 8V2 rabbits while Feron Losee bagged 9 rabits. The half ralbbits came into the score when neither of them could prove who shot it. But all in all everyone who went had a fine day of pleasure or at least Sigma did. The intramural standings are as follows: Name Standing Pts. Faculty 1st 759 Sigma Delta 2nd 669 Excelsior 3rd 485 Lettermen 4th 435 Skulls 5th 271 Engineers 6th 227 Frenisti 7th 223 Phoenix 8th 188 Vikings 9th 141 Dorm 10th 60 Faculty Reopposes Lettermen Five Reeking with revenge, the faculty have challenged the Lettermen to a return duel on the polished Weber gym floor, preceding the Snow-Weber game. Mr. Losee said: "The professors will have strenuous workouts in the preparation of putting the finishing touches to the over-confident Lettermen." It is rumored that the school boy teachers are still steaming from a one-point beating by what they claimed were ineligible Let termen. So, now, with a team picked by the faculty and positively eligible, the students will still be triumphant. The teachers who believe them selves to be equal to the Harlem Globe Trotters, will provide tricks galore to all who will be interested enough to stay and see the battle. "Unless a large enough crowd ap pears, we will not pull any razzle dazzle," stated Feron Losee. The senior team, built around elongated Orlo Childs, former University of Utah star, will be artist Farrell Collett and engineer Wally Baddey, forwards, and Coach Losee, teamed with Robert Taylor Trevi- thick, guards. The other capable men will be Davis, Buss, isiilsson. and Markham. The students, confident of an other victory, are composed of West Belnap, Clyde Willey, Ray Wright Sherl Holmes, Paul Blood, Bob Dixon, and "Knifer" Norseth. Each one is looking forward to this affair with eagerness. "The victors will undoubtedly go down in Weber college history, we hope, said the lettermen. Wildcats Trim B. A. C. At Cedar City Weber Wildcats featuring a fast breaking offense and an air-tight defense defeated the Branch Agriculture college of Cedar City by the score of 53-30 in the Wildcats lair Friday night. Weber got off to a flying .start and had scored 11 points before the Branch Aggies realized they were in a ball game tallied a score. The second quarter, to the spectator point of view was the best part of the game. During the second quarter Weber scored nine points to the Aggies' six. Score at half time read Weber 20, B. A. C. 6. During the final periods both coaches substituted freely. Coach Swenson used every man on the bench but the manager. Gardner, Childs and Sneddon led the scoring for the Wildcats. Lar son of B. A. C was the main spark plug for the losers, scoring 12 points. By this victory Weber clinches to the third spot in the league standing. In the preliminary game Mt.

When was the last time you told or heard a shady joke? Remember how smudgy you felt? Any little chick knows that corn is better for him than dirt. All right, then, let's feed them corn! Feed E'm Corn Do you use your friends as a dumping ground for your troubles? That's not fair unless you let them weep on your shoulder, too. And what fun is it hearing about other peoples' appendectomies ($.75 word, no less,) or reasons why love isn't wonderful anymore, or persecutions of family and professors? You've all heard it: "Ah I boined up! Women is fiends! The noive of her out wid another guy las' night, an' me sit-tin' home coolin' me heels and holdin' da torch for 'er. An' furder-more, me mudder don' unnerstan' me. An' me Chem prof sez he's gonna flunk me for cuttin' classes. De noive of some guys! An' da corn on me little right toe hoits every time I sit down. Ain't I got da troubles, though?" A few more points on which you might question yourself: Do you have a cheerful, sunny, sparkling disposition? Come on now, smile (or grin if you have a front tooth out and freckles on your nose.) Don't be a picklepuss. Do you avoid being bold and nervy? Isn't it hard to keep from slugging someone who comes strid ing up to you, slaps your back with about 65 pounds of pressure, flips out your tie if you're wearing one and chucks you under the chin if you aren't, and well, you know the type, no doubt. It is hard though, isn't it? Are Yds? Are you straightforward and not hypocritical under any circum stances? I betcha people like you better when youre the real you than when you're an imitation somebody else. Are you honest with yourself? You wouldn't let anyone else cheat you why let yourself? Admit that you need to perk up, if you've been sliding along. Note to Gals: Its smarter to count to 12 nowadays than it is to swear. And about making up in public: It's a fact that 89 per cent of the college girls wear lipstick during school hours, but don't smear it around. (I'm afraid that no one will recognize that for the pun that it is. At least I think it's a pun.) Let's do our making up privately. Note to Guys: Do you want to make a fool of yourself? If you do, well then- Yawn and whistle while in the presence of others. ("Whoeeeeeee. Some class! Look at that dame!") Call teachers by their first names. ("Hiya, Orson Whit, ol' man. Howya doin'?") Be boistrous in assembly. (Me-thinks this needs no illustration.) Walk out of assembly after it has begun and before it is ended. (O. K., so you're thirsty, or you have to see a girl about an elephant.) You don't want to make a fool of yourself? Well, you know what to do! Losee Presents Alan Christiansoni BY COACH LOSEE Alan Christianson has made one of the finest all around athletic contributions to Weber any athlete ever made to any school. He comes from Weber county high school, where he starred in football, basketball and track. Chris is without question one of the most alert quarterbacks that have directed Weber teams. He is a shifty, fast ball carrier and has enough hard fighting determination to make him outstanding despite his small stature. He has established a reputation as the spark plug of the basketball squad, and has cheerfully served as a substitute for two years. Few people realize the value of a substitute of Chris' calibre is to any team. Often such a person serv ing as a reserve is more valuable than regulars because of the spark they inject into the team as they enter the game. Alan, like many other track men at Weber, made an outstanding record in that sport, yet received no recognition either from the student body or the community. He placed second in the conference, twice in the low hurdles, last year losing by Inches to his teammate Willie Thomas, who placed first. He placed two years in the broad jump and last year teamed with Gardner, Freeman and Thomas to win the half mile relay and establish a new conference record. Chris weighs only 135 pounds, but despite this fact has made a remarkable record m the three major sports at Weber. His modest energetic personality makes him a natural leader among his friends. He has potentialities which will carry him far when he finally selects his work. Track Team Begins Spring Workout At the break of the sun and the sight of the turf Coach Losee is putting his traok men through light workouts. The 1941 track season appear to be one of the best in the history of our school. The mayor of our city has indicated that the track in the Ogden stadium will be fixed by the NYA students and be ready for use when desired. We have six meets lined up for the coming season. They are as follows: The B. Y. U. invitational meet held in Provo, the junior college meet held at Salt Lake City; a meet with southern branch of Idaho at Pocatello, then we have the invitational A. A. U. meet held in Pocatello, Idaho. If Coach Losee can arrange it we will have two meets at home. Probably the best meet of the year will be the trip to Denver to enter the national junior college track meet. The returning lettermen from last year are as follows: Captain Willie Thomas, Ray Freemen, Lamar Green, Jerry Young, Glen Cherry, Howard Page, Blair Evans, and George Stewart. The men that will complete our team and make it victorious are: Bob Allen, Arnold Roe, Pat Feeney, Morris Ludden, Leon Bartlet, Doug Eldridge, Bob James, and Vernal Jensen. "Bull Pen" Proves Trying Job For Cage Keeper You have heard of the ancient lament "I'm in the dog house," but maybe you have not heard about the bull pen. Glen Cherry, who this quarter has taken up a job in the checking cage of the men's dressing room, actually finds himself in the bull pen now. He says: "The fellows all call you cagey and start bossing you around as if you were someone getting a monthly salary of $200. "Of course there is some good points to the bull pen, such as a radio, funny books, Look, Life, and Pic magazines. Then there is the social end of it, but the fellows you talk to remind you of the 'gimmy gang,' always saying, gim my a towl, how about a bar of soap, what time is it, gimmy a bell, ya got any ping pong balls? "You also have to be a doctor at some times and administer first aid to someone who dove in the wrong end of the pool, or who was playing football on the basketball court." Cherry, who claims to be just "ordinary smart," summarized his troubles with the plaint, "Instead of being just another student of the institution, you have to be a genius." Sports Review Assembly Held One of the most interesting and unusual assemblies of the year was held last Tuesday in the gym nasium. It was sponsored by the physical education department under the capable leaders of the various fields. In this sports review the aim was to acquaint the students with the many activities offered by the college. There was no delay between acts and an explanation of each one was given over the "mike." In each demonstration the fundamentals were shown and explained in detail. The first exhibition was given by some members of Miss Stewart's fencing class. This was very well given and held the attention of the entire student, body. The demonstration following was in charge of Mr. Losee, and had a splendid show of the finer points of archery. Volleyball was in the spotlight next under the super vision of Mr. Swenson. Another highlight in the review was Miss Stewart's presentation of the modernistic dance. This also was pleasingly done. Our newest addi tion to the sports department, Mr. Mecham, was next with his bad minton exhibitions, which was in deed very interesting. The manly sport, wrestling was the direction of Mr. Davis and demonstrated by some of his best pupils in this art. One of America's most popular activities, basketball, was nevt headed by Coach Swenson with a Boys Train for Wrestling Meet Dancers Preparing I W. A. A. Swimmers Annual Review i Slate Track Meet t Admittedly the outstanding com bination of college art of the year, the annual dance review is now being whipped into its final perfection under the direction of Miss Ida Stewart. Weber's music department is as sisting to make the evnt a school- wide affair. The orchestra win accompany one number and the chorus will furnish vocal accompaniment for another. Several co-eds are now preparing for solo parts in different numbers. Members of the Dancing club, and the modern dancing class are participating. "We are urging .11 girls who took dancing last year and those who just started the course this year to participate," said Miss Stewart in a recent interview. "Students are now submitting their suggestions for costumes. "This review is one of the largest opportunities for student expression and participation o fthe year," she concluded. Grapplers of Weber college are working out daily, under the able direction of Coach Mecham, in preparation for the coming meets. "The wrestling roster has not been completely drawn up, but a meet has been scheduled with Idaho Southern branch for the near future, and they are gunning for the J. C. wrestling tournament to be held in the Salt Lake City field house sometime in March," stated Coach Mecham. The only returning lettermen from last year are captain Tom Lawson, Darrell Pitt, and Jonky Nakamo. Due to their experience and ability they will be the main cogs in the grapplers point-getting machine. Supplied with a host of hard working greenies, the squad will be well represented in every divi sion. The newcomers vieing for honors in the various weight divi sions include: Marice Cagier, Wayne Hill, Arlo Adams, Reed Frandsen, Don Buswell, Royal Wilde, William Tora, and Clyde Willey. Faculty Tops Point Wins In Intramurals The faculty still holds first five top honors in individual points for intramurals. The tabulation includes Softball, waterball, swimming, tennis, ping pong, and rabbit hunting. Ferron C. Losee from the faculty is the high point man with a score of 92 points. Mr. Losee in the last tabulation held fourth place. Farrell Collett, also a faculty member is in second place with a score of 80 points. In the last tabulation Mr. Collett held first place. Nile Harbertson is in third place with 71 points. He had second place in the last tabulation. Orlo Childs, faculty member, can well hold down fourth place with 65 points. Mr. Childs held third place in the last tabulation. Cross country swim is now In vogue. The Swimming club meets every Monday night at seven and is a scene of violent activity. The swim includes 600 laps. Starts at San Francisco and ends at New York City a distance of 300 laps. What goes up must come down so the girls must swim 300 more to return home. Right now 14 valiant swimmers are lost somewhere between San Quentin and Otoe Nebraska. Mary Olpin, freshman from Nephi leads the swim. She rests at Oshkosh, Nebraska, for her second wind, a distance of 151 laps. Her closest competitor, Betty Whit-aker, struggles between Beu Lah Colorado and the Nebraska state line at 141 laps. The third mermaid in close competition is Marjorie Andeline who is treding water at Meeteers. Colorado, 133 laps distance. The remaining 11 swimmers hover in California and Oregon near the shore. Competition is picking up at a rapid pace and more girls are expected to enter the race in future meeting. The winner of the Cross country swim is to be awarded a loving cup with her name engraved on it. In addition to the honor points given each girl for each attendance. wonderful exhibit of the cage sport Members of the school squad helped Coach Swenson demonstrate the basic principles of basketball. ft.
