Show Page 4 SIGNPOST February 19, 1954 Snow College Hosts Region IV NJCAA Tourney Next Week The region IV N.J.C.A.A. basketball tournament will be held in Ephraim, Utah with Snow college acting as host, on February 25, 26 and 27. Because the I.C.A.C. ended in a mess this year, it isn't known for sure just who will play who in the tournament. Ricks, winner of the Northern half is ineligable because it is a four year school as is Westminster. That leaves Boise and Weber in the Northern half. Boise and Westminster play their last two games tonight and tomorrow, and on the outcome of these two games depends whether or not Boise or Weber is in the first or second bracket. Disaster Strikes Wildcats lose 2 As Season Ends Coach Reed Swenson's quintet was the victim of two upsets handed out by the Boise Jr. College Broncos last Friday and Saturday nights in the Weber college gym. Friday night's game was a nip and tuck game with Boise coming out on the long end of a 70 to 67 score. Boise came back strong again Saturday night and left the floor with a score of '72-65 in its favor. The big guns for Friday night's game were Nish for Weber with 14 points and Hill for Boise who hit for 15. Hill also took high scoring honors for Saturday night as he hit the bucket for 25 points. Close behind him was Weber's Lew Wright who hustled 23 points through the hoop. The previous week, Weber split two games with Westminster. The Parsons won Friday, 84 to 56. The Wildcats returned the complement Saturday, 78 to 61. THIS IS MAGIC? Tell you what we've got something that will amaze you without the legerdemain. It's that new Ampro Tape Recorder that gives you complete High Fidelity reproduction of the finest music . . . picked up from Radio or T-V ... or right from the concert itself. Play it back a year or ten years from now and you'll still get the thrill of standing right next to the conductor! Trebles, deep basses . . . all tones faithfully and fully yours! Another thing you can record up to two full hours of music on it . . .then keep it forever. How much can you save over buying the records? Great gadget for recording speeches, practising diction, testing your lines in a play . . . useful in many ways. Just come in and see it . . . sell yourself on how much it will do for you. Buy it at Camera-land on terms so low it's almost larceny. Man . . this is cool. Get with it! 2504 Wash. Phone 6214 John D. Eecles Merrett Smith In the Southern half, Snow and Dixie tied.

Sporti ng About the USA By Ed Not much N.J.C.A.A. stuff this month . . . (I had hoped to use it for filler material . . . ) Remember the guy who advertised his team as being for sale. (See last issue), Anyway, Dick Voris, the coach of Hartnell J. C. signed with the Los Angles Rams . . . Wonder what happened to his high ideals concerning his team . . .Huh? With regional tournaments approaching, it is always interesting to look over last year's records . . . F'ristence, Hannibal LaGrange J.C. scored 115 points against Cen-ralia. Howard J.C. scored 99 against Sayre. Tyler had 98 against Schreiner Institute . . . And these are supposed to be the best teams in each region? Denver" Bracken center for East Central (Don't ask me where, it didn't say) scored 108 points in three games . . . Two other fellows came pretty close . . . Dick Keller, center for Lees McRae scored 80 . . . Bill Kohler of Fort Scott, another postman scored 79 . . . (Bored yet? Well I'm filling space.) Some regular season stuff now . . . . Chipola, from (if you will pardon some slang) Florida, had a 91.0 average in 27 games. Montgomery, in Maryland had 88.4 in 19 games . . . East Central, Missis sippi (now I've found it.) scored the most points, 3854 in 47 games . . . They also played the most games. Lon Morris, in (I hate to print it, just too many cuss words tor this California lad) Texas, scored 3451 . . . Ain't seed nothin' about Weber nowhere. (Mr. All-red, you weren't supposed to read that last line.) . . . While not leading anything, in fact it is in 4th place, this just had to go in . . Arkansas, Kansas (?????) had a 37.2 average. See you next time .... Ed.

The SIGNPOST intelligence department has intercepted a letter from Comrade Burtyanovich Molotovski to his party cell block in Moscow, Russia. Molotovski was sent to the United States to spy on American recreation. We are going to print excerpts from his letter. "... My first report on American Capitalistic recreation has to do with the sport called baseball. I was a witness at several of these brutal games. One notable game that I saw was called the World Series . . . This is pure PROPAGANDA, no team outside of the U. S. A. was allowed to participate . . . The United States sponsored a team called the "Yankees." They must be native born Americans because they are in the "American League" . . . Their opponents were not real Americans because they are in the "National League." All the people called them "Bums," but they were not bums, but real well dressed Capitalists . . . That the Yankees would win was well known; the high-up Capitalists had bet on them . . . All that this shows is that the oppressed American voters are led to believe that they are the best nation in the world . . . These poor workers had to stop their work (and lose money) to go and see this game . . . and they had to pay much of their hard earned rubles to see it. After standing in line several hours we were admitted inside the ball park. The park is a beautiful green field, but the people couldn't go and sit on the grass. They had to sit in a fenced-in grandstand on hard wooden benches . . . Baseball really is a most brutal game. A player called the pitcher stands on a little mound in the middle of the field and throws a hard round stone called a ball at a man on the other team who is called the batter. The batter has to defend himself from being hurt by fending off the stone with a small stick. If the batter is successful in hitting the ball, he has to flee for his life to one of four sanctuaries that are situated about the field. These sanctuaries are called bases. While the batter flees for his life, the pitcher's associates charge after the ball, pick it up, and fling it at the batter in an attempt to knock him out .... There are four vampires dressed in blue who officiate at the game. The head vampire must be horrible to look at . . . No one sees his face . . . He wears a heavy mask at all times. The object of the game must be to kill . . . The head vampire always raises his right arm in a gesture of defiance and bellows,, "Strike, strike, strike!!" Meanwhile the people in the stands holler out "Kill the vampire!" The vampires really rule with an iron hand . . . Several times when players protested something the vampires said, they were ordered banished . . . The poor banished players must have been led to their deaths. These unfortunate men were led to one of two dark pits on the sidelines, and they were never seen again. The American people must be starving . . . Several times during the game the people around me bought little sandwiches called "Hot-dogs." Only a starving people would eat the meat from Collies, Dachshunds, Fox Terriers, Spaniels, etc. ... As a closing note I would like to indicate that the Capitalists are losing control in the U.S.A. The workers are on the verge of revolution . . . because when the "Bums" beat the "Yankees" all the people in the stands stood up and cheered .... (The Idea for this article was taken from a similar article that appeared two years ago In the AMERICAN MAGAZINE.) (courtesy. OHS Tiger Highlights) Men's, Women's Intramurals Phoenix Leads In Fall Sports After points have been added for fall quarter intramurals, it is found the Phoenix is leading the list of nine entries. The Sisters have a total of 657 points. Excelsior is in second place, exactly 50 points behind with 607. Sigma is third with 496. The rest of the entries are at least 100 points further on down the line. Alpha Rho is fourth, followed by Faculty, L.D.S., Skull A. M.S., and Independents. The sport engaged in during the fall quarter were ping-pong, paddle ball, and two halves of football and volleyball. The Faculty teams took first place in ping-pong and first- half volleyball. Excelsior took first in paddle-ball and first- half football. Second half football went to Sigma. Phoenix garned first in second-half volleyball. Winter quarter activities are underway now. There is a basket-league of 16 teams in two halves which finished regular play yester day. At the time the page went to press, we were only able to include Monday's games. Next week the two top teams of each half will play for first place in the league. Monday, there were three teams in each half in contention. In League 1, Phoenix 2 lead with6 wins. Excelsior 2 and Alpha Rho 1 each had 5 wins. In League II Excelsior 1 led with 6 wins, the Cashites and Sigma 2 each had 5 wins. League I Phoenix 2, 6 wins Alpha Rho 1, 5 wins Excelsior 2, 5 wins Ex Alumnus, 4 wins A. M.S. 2, 3 wins Sigma 1, 2 wins Skull, 1 win Fallis Boys, 0 wins League II Excelsior 1, 6 wins Cashites, 5 wins Sigma 2, 5 wins Alpha Rho 2, 3 wins L.D.S., 3 wins Phoenix 1, 1 win 1 tie Keppners, 1 win A. M.S. 1, 1 tie By Ed WAA ACTIVITIES GOING STRONG Chanodo, Otyokwa Win February 5th was a great day for the"Squaws" as they garnered both individual and team honors in the foul pitch contest. The "Squaws'' had a point total of 49, with Joe Ann Butters and Kaye McDonald trying for first place individual honors. Chanodo, with six points less, took second place, with L. D. running a mlose third. Sharmea, Iota, and independents followed in that order. The ping-pong tournament ended last week with the two top positions going to Chanodo and Otyokwa. Joyce Parry, representing Chanodo, liver up to expectations as she cornered first place for the second year in a row. (word has it that the freshmen girls who participated hope -that Joyce will make the grade and graduate this spring. Marilyn Arnold who represented L.D., says she is forming an Anti-Parry Club. Anyone interested is to notify her at one.) Editor's comment, "Oh, my!!" Otyokwa took undisputed control of second place with Iota taking third. Tied for fourth were the three remaining teams, Independents, Sharmea, and L. D. Girls' basketball intramurals will go into its second round today with Otyokwa, L. D., and Chanodo Sporting first round victories. By far the most interesting game last Friday was L. D. vs Sharmea. The score was nip and tuck all the way until Marilyn Arnold and Noma Allen began to hit and then L. D. pulled steadily away to a 27-16 victory. Otyokwa, showing its best team in many a moon, ran wide and far over Independents, winning 41-21; Chanodo was unmercifully trouncing Iota's much taller team.
