Show I THE SIGNPOST THURSDAY, JANUARY 30, 1941 Weber Hoopsters Leave for Two GameTourof South BY RAY WRIGHT Hoopsters for the Purple and White will leave Friday morning for competition with Dixie college at St. George, Utah and the Branch Agriculture college at Cedar City. Coach Swenson's team has put in a season of precision playing and are in excellent condition for tomorrow's contest. Co-captains Sneddon and Childs-t- are two examples of the trim type of players who rule the Weber basketball kingdom. Three lanky gentlemen, Gardiner, Johnson, and Clark provide the team some close guards. Gardiner is 5'11" and a product of Weber county high. Johnson hits an even six feet and names Box Elder high as his old stamping grounds. Clark strikes the atmosphere at 6'2". He attended Weber last year. Jim Larsen and Ken DeVries are rivals for center position. With little difference in height DeVries is 5'11" and Larsen an even 6' they clear the higher altitudes after that ball with skill that catches the attention of the "basket" fans. Exceptional, though still a youngster, is thf forward, Jay Hancey. Making his basketball debut on the Weber floor, Hancey. has proven the possessor of a long hidden talent. Hancey is 6'3" from Ogden high and definitely an asset as a forward. Weber fans have kept a hopeful eye on these players. A successful trip is predicted for this coming weekend.

He was captain of the basketball squad and even dabbled into a bit of debating. His talent for debating was demonstrated in a recent speech given in Mr. Allred's class, in which he startled everyone, including the instructor, by his poise and eloquent delivery. Gardner is fast developing into a splendid basketball guard. Because of a well conditioned body, he is tireless, rugged, and fast. He is well liked by his team mates, and has no desire to be singled out as outstanding, but a strong desire to do his part for the success of the team. Odell Sanford, a freshman from Box Elder High school, is destined to break into prominence as one of Weber's outstanding swimmers. He is j tall, strong, and loves the water; such a combination cannot fail. To keep Sanford away from a swimming pool would be like taking milk from a baby. During his short time at Weber he has developed from a mediocre performer to one of the fastest free-stylers to represent our institution. Weber has never had a swimmer do a hundred yards in less than a minute. Sanford hopes to attain this goal before the season closes. From all indications this ambition is near realization. Weber college students should become acquainted with this long drink of water because he is one of the most dependable and likable personalities to represent our school in any field of athletics. WC Teachers Vote Increased Chest Assessment Setting an unusual example, Weber teachers' association, Tuesday voted that its Community Chest assessment for this year be raised from $240.00 to $300.00. The motion was put through at the suggestion of Mr. Robert Davis, football coach, and Mr. Thatcher Allred, dramatics and speech instructor. Mr. L. H. Monson, association president, was in charge of the meeting. Eat With Your Team AT THE ROOST HOT PLATE LUNCHES (Ted Toone) 432 Twenty-fifth Street SOMETHING NEW!

Weber survived the idea of two captains for the basketball team and all injuries sustained on the gym floor were purely acicdental and no intentions were to kick anyone living or dead. There was heard the distant rumble of approaching spring, recently while two daredevils on roller skates rattled around the campus walks. So Glen Shannon got an appointment to Annapolis. The sport's page will suffer a loss there. And then there is that swimmer who didn't train during the Xmas holidays. Coach times him with a calendar now instead of a stop watch. There was a certain player who went out for basketball last year. He worked out every day, showered, brushed his teeth, drank milk and even let his friend take his girl to the midnight show. At the end of the year he had warmed five benches and acquired an extensive vocabulary. He loaned us these few examples: . . .Captain . . . the fellow who walks in on you the first time you break training. Guards . . . first job out of college. Forward . . . the guy who took your girl home from the game. Foul . . . term descriptive of ancient gym shoes. Photographer . . . the determining factor of which side of the floor to play on. By the way at the end of the year that dillusioned player had the flue when the team had it's party. Can't neglect the women. The reason she's never home any more is . . . because . . . she's practicing for the dance drama. And we have a budding young wrestling team. That ought to make things interesting . . . ought it not? Well, all good things must end . . . and bad ones too . . . fortunately . . . Pip! Pip! Cheerio . . . Weber Pool Training Site For A. A. U. Meet BY BOB SNEDDON Weber's pool is the scene of persistent training now with the A. A. U. Open Swimming meet coming up on February 7 and 8 at the Wasatch Plunge in Salt Lake City. For the first time in the history of Intermountain A. A. U. competition, the meet will be held at the Wasatch plunge. Similar to the meet held January j and 6 of this year, the new tournament offers competition with the best swimmers in the intermountain district. Captained by stalwart plunger Wayne Christenson, the team is now polishing the stroke and kick of their most talented specimens. Albert Hobson, who putted along like an ouboard motor in the January meet to cop off a silver medal in the 220 yard dash, will again ente" in the freestyle competition. Weber's "Lone Ranger," Claire Whitely, will dive again for the Purple and White. Whitely walked away with one of those little silver gadgets, too. Ralph A. Barnard is Weber's lone hope for the backstrokecompetition. an Odell Sanford is Coach Losee's young hopeful for the freestyle 100 yard dash. Sanford was hitting the peak of his slump when the other meet came up. He is completely out of it now and really churning the water. Willard Jensen, A. C. Cook, and Allan Shupe are back in circulation for the crawl. Shupe was placed on the mantle last year with a bum leg in the middle of his training. In the distance swim, Bill Taps-field promises to be this year's Perry Leavitt. His endurance is worth watching and that's just what the coach is doing. Not neglecting the feminine element, Weber has two coed tank-sters. Kathleen Davis took third in the 100 yard backstroke and the 100 yard freestyle. Mary Olpin, a promising youngster will enter in the 100 yard freestyle. Olpin has rs strong a kick as an energetic jackrabbit and ought to go places with it. Gold, silver and bronze medals will be given to first second and third place winners. 321 24th Street Phone 854 I $iitiSxKxXlXriCV Drama Department Names Play Casts The casts for three one-act plays which will highlight the winter quarter in the dramatic field were named today.

Using three men that are out for the school team made it possible for the lettermen to win a moral victory. This victory doesn't count in the intramural standings, because of the use of three ineligible players. Both teams fought hard to win and it was a close battle right to the finish. Faculty was ahead 24 to 15 at the half, but was overtaken by the lettermen in the crucial period. High point men for the winning team were Bob Reese leading their team with 15 points, and Ray Wright with six points to his credit. The outstanding player of the entire game was Orlo Childs. He bagged a total of 20 points scoring 18 of them in the first half. Losee played an outstanding defense game for the faculty aggregation.

"On February 3, 1941, the Weber college lettermen will hold their quarterly banquet at the Hotel Ben Lomond," said Mr. Tom Lawson, president of the club. Mr. Lawson has been most active since he was put in leadership of the "W" club. He is assisted by Vice President Sherl Homes, Clyde Willey as the presiding treasurer and secretary, and Cyrel Wright, who acts as the intramural manager. These fellows have planned an extensive program for their party and ask that all members and pledges be present. "The pledges," said Lawson, "will fulfill their initiation by taking the club's oath of allegiance." Mr. Law-son will be the entertaining host of approximately 50 lettermen, also the four coaches of Weber college, Davis, Losee, Swenson, and the latest Mr. Mecham. The fellows will be honored in having Coach Ike Armstrong from the University of Utah who will show some attractive football pictures of his Utah team in action. Tom Lawson said that other speakers would be present to furnish entertainment for the fellows. Sport Togs Motif Of Ski Ball A mountain scene with ski togs and other sport outfits was the novel decoration theme used by Vikings in their "Ski Ball." A huge embdlem of target and "V" in the club colors of green and cream was opened to show a novel revolving stage on which beautifully dressed models were pre sented. Club members and their partners held a party after the dance to celebrate the successful conclusion of the Ski ball.

(Bob Behling wante to call it Utanian Hall, but he was over-ruled.) Supervise Mr. Milt Mecham (I guess you could call Mrs. Mecharrl housemother,) 100 fellows keep the place alive. Where once were prisoners of the county, today the strong steel walls and doors of the cells have been replaced by beds and lockers. In the offices and former courtrooms, groups of three and four fellows room. In the kitchen student cooks experiment with new dishes. f The dorm is the home of about 100 fellows who are working their way through vocational courses at Weber. The fellows work 80 hours a month and spend 20 hours each week in school. For their labors, they are paid $30 a month. Their board and room at the dormitory costs $18 per month, and the remainder of th money goes to pay their tuitionJ But the fellows like it (or at, they seem to). Most of them be idle if they were not attea Weber. The fellows are supposed to be in at ten-thirty p. m. therefore, every night at ten-thirty Mech dashes to the front door and calls the boys in. If any of you girls want a date, just call 4312. Or better still just stand out in front of the dorm. In just about two shakes, two heads will hang from every window; and then you can have your pick. That is al except the third story corner window on the right. If you don't believe it, then just try and find out for yourself.
