Show Page 4 THE SIGNPOST Wildcats certain of Idaho School Charlie tjcrM By THEO Weber's willing ball bouncers returned from Ricks last Saturday winners and losers. In spite of the noble aid rendered by the Whip girls the Ricks boys succeeded in finding the basket about 3 times too often. In about the last two minutes of the first game some uncouth Rickster dropped the ball through the hoop to make the score 52 to 48. Revel was hitting the basket from any angle and was high man for Weber making 27 points in all. Nelson made, by the way, he didn't get that cut playing, not basketball anyway. As I was saying he made about 17 points. Thomas found the hoop for 13 points and was in so many places at one time the Ref thought we had six players. The boys came back the second night with the usual Weber spirit and made the Ricks boys look sillywith a score of 61, Weber; 33, Ricks. Gardner and Childs did themselves honors in both games, Peterson and Clark worked hard and were largely responsible lor our iinai outcome.Swenson's smooth coaching and the boy's good response still keep us in the running though. The chances to retain the championship are vague. SWIMMING While our aquatic stars are recuperating from the A. A. U. (and they need to), Leavitt and Foulger are riding on their laurel that they so richly deserve. Leavitt daces first in the 220, while Foulger splashed in for a second in the breast stroke. Other than this Weber was completely submerged. Before this is printed (such conceit) Weber will have met Granite in our pool and though I hate to say it Granite should leave here Thursday with another victory. If I'm wrong may I inherit a watery grave. MINOR SPORTS It has been the policy of this column to be free from scandal (take note Marge). Those bits of relished bits that have been herein contained do truly belong, likewise does the recent trip of our purple and white maidens. If you don't think 22 girls sort-- ing dates from 75 boys isn't sport, ask Rassie, she got Charlie Horses from running away. Irene ' Coombs' heart has a Charlie Horse from over work and she has changed her belief about love at first sight. Bob "Flash" Peterson, who photographed the event said he didn't realize girls were so athletic till he rode home with the load of them. Congratulations to the gals on their drill and pep. I'm told they were tops. New Scribulus to Be Issued By its originality and beauty, Scribulus created a sensation among intermountain publications when it came smoking off the press last autumn quarter. Articles shining with a freshness of style were accentuated and set off by a skilled job of printing. Articles were designed to run the reader through a gantlet of emotions. Students prize their copies and give them a frequent re-reading. The winter quarter magazine will contain a variety of pictures, poems, prose, and miscellaneous bits from student and faculty members. The outdoor motif will succeed feminine pulchritude in this issue for the pictures will feature scenes rather than glamour girls. Subjects for pictures are taken from the cultural division and the vocational arts division. DOKOS 2522 Washing-ton Blvd. We Meet at . . , JOHN'S SWEET SHOP FOR THE BEST 406 25th Street Weber Swimmer Outstanding Weber swimming ace Perry Leavitt, gained another victory when he took the championship of the 200 yard free style at the recent A. A. U. swimming meet. Other Weber swimmers turn-ad in remarkable performances even though they were unable to :ake any first events. Virginia Nelson, a student of Central Junior high school, div-ng for Weber, proved her ability by capturing first place in the women's fancy diving. Lane Fowler, Deseret gym, vas the only participant to 'oreak a record. In the 500 yard free style his time of 6:28 sliced ;wo seconds off the record established by Dan Thorsen in 1934. Coach Ferron Losee, director, stated that the meet was very successful. Each night the gym was packed with a near capacity crowd.

Its immediate cause of birth was: more' work was needed for our industrious Journalists. However its more worthy claims for being are: it may advertise the activities of the school when they happen and may make it possible to have a weekly paper next year. A proven success as attested by the crowds of readers, the -.implement is a permanent fixture for this year. Speaker to Receive Cup Mr. Thatcher Allred announces that the Ogden Junior Chamber will award a cup to the best orator on Americanization next Tuesday morning at eleven in assembly. The winner will have his name engraved upon the trophy, but otherwise the award is not a permanent possession, Mr. Kent ! Bramwell, president of the Jun- I ior Chamber, says. Phi Rho Pi Takes In New Members The Alpha Chapter, Weber college's unit of the National Phi Rho Pi Debating Fraternity, again prepares itself for the heavy debate program that lies before.

Merle Allen, vice president, and Melvin Manfull, secretary, will also assist with theprogram. Weber Swimmers Lose By Close Margin Weber's clash with Granite Thursday night ended in a close victory for Granite. Granite, the league leaders, has yet to see defeat by any other swimming team. ( This event was acclaimed one of the best ever held at Weber. Each winner won only by a small margin. Evans, Granite, and Foulger, Weber, fought a close race in the breast stroke. The 220 free style ended in Leavitt's close victory over Tapsfield, Granite. Fernelius, Weber, won by a narrow margin over Smith, Granite, in the backstroke. The 40 yard clash between Taylor of Weber and Searle of Granite proved to be very exsiting for Granite. The final score of the meet was 41 to 25 for Granite.

Unsentimental and Hard Mainly, Dreiser's treatment was unsentimental and hard. Whenever he could, he used the unglorifying word. He used such profanity as "darn" and "damn!" At times he went a little stronger than that. "Baloney" was a favorite word, but then so was "noble." Usually he used "noble" in some ironic application. His attitude was chiefly cynical, but the listener was apt to feel that the man's point-of-view was reasoned, inevitable. Dreiser himself would be apt to scout the word "reasoned," but warm to the word "inevitable." Naturally, one received the impression that complexes and tragedy had stalked this man. It was hard for him to smile. He looked better when he made no attempt to look pleasant. But in part that may have been because of the way his face is made. It is easier for him to maintain a sober look, or to grimace, than it is to smile. Oases of Sentiment Yet there are oases of sentiment in his life that, one could tell, are immeasureably precious to him. First, his brother Paul was his boyhood hero, and still brings memories. Dreiser prid-fully and pardonably reminded the house that Paul wrote "On the Banks of the Wabash." Then there was the mother. "Bless her tired hands," LOVELAND'S STUDIO 480 24th Street MEET ON LOCAL BASKETBALL FLOOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY Quarter Ending Sophomores who wish to graduate must register early in order to get the classes necessary for the' completion of their credits. The pre-registration for sophmores was terminated Monday and pre-registration of freshmen is now being taken care of. The final registration day is Monday, March 13. Although the average number of credits being carried is much 'ower, there will be very little decrease in the number registering, says Mrs. Hall, official registrar. With spring on its way, more time will be spent on park-ology than in the previous quarters.On the heels of registration comes "exam week." The fatal days will be Maarch 8, 9, 10. The 14th of March heralds in the new quarter. Marriage Education Is Offered For the first time, the Sociology department of Weber is offering a course in "Marriage and the Family." The course is being offered as a result of a survey made last year by the Sociology club and a series of successful lectures given on this subject. Mr. Neville, who will teach the course said, "Signs of divorce, juvenile delinquency, mental disease, and personality defects are symptoms that proper training has not been given in marriage and the family. In as much as nature fails to take care of this situation, the logical remedy is proper education." Designed as a practical study, the course will be open to both freshmen and sophomores. he writes. Again, there is the piteous way in which his father a hard religious man mourns his wife after her deaath. And finally, the beautifulnineteen-year-old girl who taught him as an unpromising, unprepossessing boy in public school was his first love. She remade him, the audience gathered. She still lives and says in her letters to him that he justifies her well. Just here he said, "I don't believe it." But his laugh showed that he is pleased with his old teacher's faith. Realism was Genuine To those who know his works, his realism was genuine. It is reflected in "Sister Carrie" and "The Financier." But his sentiment is just as real. It shows here and there in these longer writings, but it comes out most tenderly, most sweetly, in works like "My Brother Paul," and "The Lost Phoebe." Sums up to This The whole evening sums up to this. The speech was delivered in an offhand manner, with a satirical undertow that made people laugh. But in the undertow was the tragically significant story of a man and his parents. The house aopeared to sense this.

For the Newest Releases Victor and Bluebird Only 35c f League Leaders Are Yet to be Rated Victory looms for the Weber Wildcats when they meet Albion here Friday and Saturday night at 8 o'clock. The Wildcats have been im-Droving with each game; and iiave sharpened their defense. Albion is buried deep in the dregs of the league cellar. If the Wildcats do not carry the policy of splitting their series too far, they should win handily.The Weber Courtiers oozed class in their series with Ricks. The Wildcats lost the first game in a last minute spurt by Ricks. The narrow court caused frequent fouling. Captain Nelson, Childs, Christiansen went out on personals. In the second game the Wildcats came back to humiliate the Vikings by a 61-33 score. In this game Phil Revell was red hot as he raced up 27 points, a new conference scoring record. Rawson Childs celebrated his return to the basketball wars with an 18 point scoring spree in the last game. He will be bidding for his original starting posv at forward in the Albion series. W. L. Ricks 7 3 Weber 6 4 Snow 6 2 B. A. C 5 3 Dixie 4 4 Westminster 4 4 Albion 1 7 By splitting its series with Snow and Ricks, Weber practically lost its last chance for the league flag. Weber is now in third place with Ricks leading the pack and Snow in the second seat. In order to tie for first place the Wildcats would have to sweep its series with Albion, with Ricks losing two of its four games with Dixie and B. A. C. and Snow losing two to Westminster. Although basketball critics look for Ricks to lose one and while Westminster has a good chance to scorch Snow it is very unlikely that Snow and Ricks Will be obliging enough to share top honors with the Wildcats. The best that Weber can look for is another meeting with these teams in the coming A. A. U. meet. The preliminary parries will get under way at 7:00. Friday's preliminary will feature the 145th Infantry against the 11th Ward. In Saturday's preliminary Utah Power and Light will be pitted against the 17th Ward. Between halves in the Saturday night feature game, the Ogden high tumblers will put on an exhibition. without movement and listened to Dreiser bare his life and make conclusions based upon those sixty-eight full years Phone 18!) of Popular ani Standard V, Phonograph Records and 75c " 1 j P |
