Show Page 4 THE SIGNPOST Wildcats Headed For Utah - Idaho Jaysee Title A We au Jft By D. Joven WESTMINSTER DROPS CONTEST TO WEBER WILDCATS Minor sports here at Weber show a great improvement over other years. Bring to mind the disastrous swimming season of 1936-37, when our swimmers won only one of seven meets. Since Weber splashers compete only with high schools, such a record 13 not worth remembering. A new swimming instructor has much better material than last year's and Weber is making a name in one more activity. Of course you all know how good the football team was, and you all have seen the mammoth scores crushing opposition in basketball, but not many of you have given more than a thought about the boy3 who spend hours splashing the school along. Now, we are not claiming that this year's swimming team is phenomenal, nor do we pick it to override all opposition, but when we compare it with last year's team, the improvement is Brob-dingnagian. More power to Ferron Losee! Students who paticipate a bit in sports have shown more enthusiasm about boxing also. Except for the squared circle, the gloves, and Truman Carver, boxing was a dead sport last year. But when the Utah division of the Golden Gloves was held in Ogden recently, the gym resounded with the rat-a-tat-tat of the bag, the shuffling ofrope-skippers, and the happy crunch of leather against skin. The abnormity was that all this clatter was not made by outsiders using the gym as a training camp. Fact is, quite a few of the Weberites climbed into the ring to show their ability. Probably the noblest gossoon of them all was Darrell Peterson. He could take it. Yes, Bob Davis, boxing made a gain this year. After having made a great bid for prominence its first year, fencing took a tail-spin. Last year was worse than mediocre. But those interested in 3words were not willing to live on an unhappy past. They wanted to be stuck right now. Last year the coach had to ask each member individually if he would please come to practice that evening, then escort the conscript from the Mo-ench building to the gym to make sure. The return of last year's wrestling, squad was cheering, and additional arrivals made good chances look better. A little jaunt 'into the past will bring to mind the fact that the 1937 championship was won by the local boys. Now it's not every school that can sport a wrestling championship, and as for walking away with top honors two years in a row, well, it is believed that Weber can do just that. Pre-publication note: All this looks like hooey now. Even when one of our boys does get on top, the referee is so confused and embarrassed by the unusual arrangement that he gives the nod to the man on the bottom. Also, why does the referee always slap our man? Fact is, he put so much zing into it that he hurts the spectators' eardrums. We don't like it! Helen, this is a punk column. Why can't he put some life into it? Give it a slice of Wonder Bread. Thanks. When Weber's team ran wild over the Westminister hoopsters in a two-day encounter in Salt Lake, Feb. 18 and 19, to defeat the Parsons 64-39 and 70-41, the Jaysee Championship became almost a surety. In the first night thriller, the Ogden boys, with Floyd and Clyde Morris as the sparks of the machine, galloped over their opponents. The Weber players were able to score at will, but the Parsons were unable to break down the Wildcats' defense. In the second night encounter, the Wildcats took the lead at the start and held it throughout the game. The Morris twins again went to work on their opponents to ring up 3 3 of the Weberites' 7 0 points. The fast, clever playing of the Weber team was too much for the Westminister boys who could neither cope with the Wildcats' smooth passing attack nor its strong defense. Hurst and Seerones, Westminister forward and guard, were high point men for their team with 15 counters apiece. Weber C. Morris, rf 7 1 1 15 Bingham, If 4 5 2 10 F.

C. in their last two home games of the season, to put them directly in line for the Utah-Idaho league basketball championship.Lead by the fast passing attack and consistent scoring of Bingham and the Morris brothers, the Weberites 'tickled the strings' time and again to hang up a victory that made the score board look like the national war debt. Although a little ragged, the Wildcats held the lead from the start and gradually walked away from their opponents to end the first game 79-43. In the second game, held Feb. 8, B. A. C. started off with a bang by looping through two field goals in rapid succession, but were soon stopped by the Weber team who took matters into their own hands and gradually drew away from their opponents. With the Morris twins sinking the leather from all angles, the Weberites took the Aggies to the cleaners to the tune of 68-44.

The tobogganing races were marred by an accident in which one of the contestants was injured when the toboggan overturned. The race, however, was won by a team made up of our faculty, even if they did lose two men on the way down. The winners made the run in 28.8 seconds. Their nearest rival was Slater's team who took the same run in 30.9 seconds.
