Show Acorn WifJiiiliCMCQJ j Vol. 8 No. 10 FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1923 FOUR PAGES WEBER GOLLEGE TEAM TAKES LAST GAME OF SEASON Pres. Tracy Home From Cleveland HAS NEW SCHOOL PLAN PROPOSED BY DR. JUDD President Tracy returned Tuesday from the National Educational Association Convention which met in Cleveland, Ohio. In addition to attending the meetings of the N. E. A., he attended the Convention of the American Association of Junior Colleges held at the same place. Both going and coming, he visited places of interest, among which were the Training School and the church seminary of the University of Chicago, the theological seminary of the Northwestern University, and the Kirtland Temple (the famous historic monument of the Mormon people). He reports that the greatest contribution offered in the interest of economy, in the national educational system, was suggested by Dr. Judd at the meeting of the Junior College Convention. In Dr. Judd's remarks, he explained the place of the junior college and in so doing showed how great economy may be had by the elimination of the seventh and eighth grades from our educational system. He stated that each child may receive a complete education through the course of five psychological periods; the first period being the 1st, 2nd and 3d years of school life: the second period, the 4th, 5th, College Celebrate Friday the college celebrated, and necessarily so the team won a game. The day was started with an assembly where many secrets were divulged by different members of the team. Later everyone "Played" in the park. At noon a hot-dog eating-contest was held. Some ate four dogs, salted them down with a glass of milk and garnished the whole with (?) toothpicks. In the afternoon a dance was held and some games were played. After it was all over the basketball team trailed down to a dime picture show, ending today with their well known hilaritv. BIG SEND-OFF FOR TEAM The student body activities for last Tuesday and Wednesday were mainly centered on the team's send-off to the tournament. A special assembly was called Tuesday. Xan Emmett, who presided, reminded the students that this assembly would be the last one held as a rally before a Weber High School basketball game. The school song was sung first, led by Professor Manning, after which several I I snappy talks were given on ap-; propriate subjects. Wealtha ; Bramwell, Ruth Folkman ami and 6th years; the third period, what is now the 9th, 10th, and 11th years; the fourth period, the 12th, 13th, and 14th years; and the fifth period, the 15th and 16th years. The first two . periods would complete the elementary education ; the third period, the high school; the 4th period the junior college; and the 5th period the senior college. By this scheme the individual student saves two years of his educational life and the taxpayer is relieved of the burden of educating each child for a period of two years, which would mean the saving of thousands of dollars. President Tracy feels that this system will be eventually adopted in the State of Utah and also in our own community and if so it will add to the Weber College what is known now as the senior year of the high school work. While at Chicago, Mr. Tracy visited the Logan Square Branch of the Church and enjoyed a meeting of the eighteen Elders in which they made a report of their week's work. The message that the missionaries send back to the students of the school is that they better prepare themselves for missionary work and make a thorough study of the Bible. SENIORS HONORED GUESTS SENIORS! SENIORS! SENIORS! Weber's ticketchampions.- So what did the aspiring sophomores, confident juniors, dignified and proud college have to do? Suffer the humiliation of treating the seniors as honored guests at a dance and serve them at a banquet. (If it could be called such, jawbreakers and all-day suckers). Poor things. What would become of them if they had served any more. They already went over twenty dollars in debt, so that eliminates one class party out of the schedule of each class, excluding the seniors. Well anyway the Seniors had a good time at the expense of the other three classes. Brother Blaylock, spoke briefly. Brother Taylor gave an excellent speech and lastly, Coach Stevenson told one of his "fables" which had a fine moral. Wednesday the school met in assembly and marched to the depot to see the team off. The whole school was present and sent the team off with spirit galore. Bachelors Claude Helm and number llalverson arc taking over the Martha Society according to the latest report from the College. American Gov't vs Parliamentary, March 16 Whether or not the Parliamentary system of Government would be better than the Presidential for the United States is the question which will be debated in the Weber Auditorium Friday, March 16th, between Weber and the Brigham Young College of Logan. Weber will up-holdd the affirmative side of the question (advocating the Parliamentary system, while the B. Y. C. debators will contend that our present government is the better. The same night, our college negative debators will meet, in intelectual combat at Rexburg, Idaho,, the team representing Ricks College. They will discuss the same subject. The Weber affirmative, which meets the B. Y. C, will be represented by Hugh MoyeS and Junius Tribe. The negative team, debating Ricks College, is composed of Edwin Nelson and Raymond Poulter. These debates will be the regular Northern Triangle debates for 1923 between Ricks College, Brigham Young College and Weber College: On the same night the L.'D.'S. U., Snow and Dixie Colleges will compete for the championship of the Southern Triangle. The winners of both Triangles will then battle for the Junior College championship. "We are not boasting of victory" seems to be the attitude of our coaches, "but our representatives are going to do justice to the school and themselves. De- ( Continued on Page 4).

This was by far the worst defeat our boys have taken this year. They cannot be blamed however, as they played their best throughout the game ; they were merely matched with a superior team. ; The game was the best played in the tournament yesterday, in the opinion of most of the fans.

Score 17-20 "Merely Mary Ann" an Artistic Triumph The annual school play, "Merely Mary Ann," which was presented at the Orpheum February 13th and 14th, was one of the best Weber has given. Israel Zangwill's noted play is an ambitious vehicle for students to attempt in that the theme is subjective rather than dealing with tangible events, and that the functioning of the play depends more upon good characterization than upon the evolving of a story. It is noteworthy that young students, without sufficient scenic rehearsal, were able to hold the audience during pantomine and (Continued on Page 2) BIG DANCE WHERE? Weber Auditorium. WHEN?

NAMEN Both Take COLLEGE DEFEAT L. D. S.; HIGH TAKES BRIGHAM GAME The Thrill That Came Once in This School Year. Al Warden's Famous Sheet Upset. Dope On March 1st, the L. D. S. College basketball team met defeat at the hands of the Weber College team in a fast game on the local floor, to the tune of 25 to 22. This was the first game in which the local boys were successful enough to come out at the long end of the score. One of the big surprises of the day was the loyal support given by the College girls. Their number was limited, but with the help of "Brownie" and Bro. Manning (Continued on Page 2) Ephriam, a Town of True Sports The college basketball team has just completed trips totaling 650 miles. The trips were made to Evanston, Wyoming, Logan, Salt Lake and Ephraim. If the team were asked which of all the places they would prefer to go to again they would all say, "Ephraim." You will wonder why they would say that when they were beaten more there than at any one of the other places. If you had been there you would know the reason why. A town and school of better sportsmanship than that of Ephraim and Snow Normal College can't be found. They met the team at the depot with their very evcellent band. They gave the team a yell, took their picture, played them some tunes and even carried their baggage up to the hotel. It was at the game that the town's people showed their real sportsmanship. They did not jeer the fellows, before, during, or after the game. In fact they gave some yells for the Weber team even when Weber was ahead. After the game the fellows were taken over to the dance by some of the members of the Snow team and introduced to some very nice young ladies. All of the team enjoyed the dances very much. Coach Stevensen and Coach Watson also enjoyed the stay in Ephraim. Coach Stevensen said, "I have never been to a school or town where such true sportsmanship was shown." The team hope they will have a chance of meeting this school next year. They have found some friends that they will always remember. Claude Helm, Ath. Mgr. Weber Teams Games THE BEES GET STUNG Weber took the lead in the Ogden Division Race Friday, February 16, by defeating the "Bees." The game was played before a large crowd (of Brigham people). Weber Crackers were either held outside or scattered around the hall. A couple here and a couple there, this made it hard for Weber to yell. The Box Elder five took the lead at the start, and held it for the first quarter. At the end of the first half the score was tied, 11 all. In the third period Weber took the lead, and was never headed from then on. Halliday was taken out on fouls in the last 30 seconds of play and replaced by Doxy. The defeat of Box Elder at Brigham makes two defeats handed her on her own floor. The playing of Price and Anderson was commendable for Weber. Facer and Burt played the leading roll for the Bees. PRES. TRACY AT PRESIDENTS' CONVENTION Pres. Tracy left February 20 for Cleveland, Ohio, where he attended a junior college convention. He was accompanied by Pres. Wilson of the L. D. S. U., and Supt. Child of the state commission of education. Several other notables in educational work represented Utah at the Cleveland meeting. The convention was held February twenty-sixth and twenty-seventh. Representatives from every junior college in the United States as well as leaders in various branches of education were present. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss problems , connected with the rise, growth, and success of the junior college movement. Great strides have already been made to supply the needs of institutions to improve the unsatisfactory congested condition of freshmen and sophomore classes in senior colleges. Weber College is a step in this direction. It has become a member of the Junior College League. Weber's development next year will undoubtedly be assisted by the ideas brought home by Pres. Tracv from the conference. WEBER DEFEATED OGDEN IN THE LAST GAME February 9, the Weber High School five won from Ogden Tigers, in the fastest game ever to be played between the two schools, by a score of 31 to 22.
