Weber Jaysee, outgained both in rushing and passing, crossed pay dirt twice and added an extra point to score a victory a shutout over the four-year college, 13 to 0.

W. A. A. Girls Show in Intramurals By ALHRA HESLOF The Women's Athletic association of the college is now in full swing, as you might say, with intramurals being run off every day. The close of this month will see the end of the volley ball tournament. All the clubs participate and seem really to enjoy this form of competition. It's a wonderful form builder. The unaffiliated members are invited to join teams. I am authorized to say that it is never too late to get in and enjoy the fun of it all. Next tournament will start on October 25. If the service ball is returned, the next sport will be with that equipment. The round robin tournament which is now in progress is the result of careful figuring and planning by the W. A. A. officers. The results of this appear on the bulletin board. You realize how troublesome it would be for me to put results down here. I favor easy-chair reporting. Unfortunately the phone on my desk is out of order and I haven't a desk. It's the W. A. A. bulletin board. That's where you can find the results. It's upstairs somewhere in the gym, I believe. These games are interesting and persons wishing to join the teams should contact the officers at the earliest possible time. It is a very pretty sight to see the girls playing at some athletic game, jumping and running grace-1 fully now here now there. Miss Ida Stewart is no small attraction in this although she is the director. "Anything that helps the figure helps the nation," Miss Stewart said yesterday to your reporter while both were eyeing the bulletin board. Miss Stewart charmingly went on to remark what a difficult time D. R. T. and F. D. R. are having with politics and the budget. But she had lost me somewhere. I didn't follow. But anyway check with the bulletin board. The Merchants Who Advertise In This Paper Make the Sign Post Possible PATRONIZE YOUR SIGN POST ADVERTISERS REMEMBER THE MIDNIGHT SHOW FRIDAY Swimming Captain Has High Hopes For Approaching Season Wayne Christensen, powerfull breastroke champion on Weber's forces, was chosen captain of the swimming squad for this coming year, Coach Ferron Losee announced yesterday. "Chris" has taken many honors in swimming events in the past year. Entering competition in distance swimming, he placed second at the first Pine View lake swim held last August in Pine View lake. He also placed fourth in the fourth national open water Antelope island to Black Rock meet held July 21 in Great Salt lake. This is Chris's second year at Weber. His home is in Brigham City, Utah, but he is staying in the dormitory while attending school. Chris is a C. A. A. student and recently received his student pilot's license. "We have a strong group of swimmers this year," said Chris when interviewed. "We ought to have a very successful year. "The team has good prospects for the championship, this year. The season will be extremely interesting, because we are limiting our competition to senior college events." The team is already preparing for the season, which will include a week tour through either Colorado or southern California. Another important event on the schedule is the Junior A. A. U. Championship meet to be held here at Weber this autumn. "Many of last year's star swimmers have returned and there is a strong group of freshmen that have reinforced the team. The team is already in good condition and we ought to make one of our best records this year," Chris concluded. LOCAL SCHOOL INCREASES STAFF (Continued from Page One) he broke and still holds the Iowa conference indoor and outdoor rec ords for the two-mile run, and he was tried out in the steeple chase for the Olympic team. Lewis Junior In 1938 he received an M. S. degree from the University of Southern California. From 1936 to 1938 he taught at the Lewis junior high school in Ogden. He taught at the Alhambra high school in California from 1938 to 1940. Mr. Epsy is a member of three national fraternities. He belongs to the social fraternity Sigma Phi Epsilon, to the professional educational fraternity Phi Delta Kappa, and to the honorary fraternity for leadership and scholarship Blue Key. Mr. William Z. Terry is not exactly a new teacher, but this is the first he has taught here in 17 years. Mr. Terry graduated from the Brigham Young college in Logan in 1895. This was a four-year church college which was discontinued. He was active in baseball and track at this school. In 1895 he came to Weber, which was then a preparatory school. After teaching here for & year, he went to Europe for three years. When he returned in 1900 he served as principal of the Carbon county high school for one year. From 1905-1913 he was principal of the Summit State academy. Then he came back to Weber, where he taught until 1923. At this time Mr. Terry became a certified public accountant. In 1918 he was graduated from the University of Utah. Since 1923 he has had his own public accountant office and has done well. This year, however, a few days before school opened, President Dixon asked him if he would like to teach a class of college algebra. Mr. Terry replied that nothing would please him more. So now, Mr. Terry is once again a member of the faculty. Defense Instructor Mr. Glen H. Scott is an engineer in aeronautics teaching in conjunction with the defense program and specializing in tool designing. He took post graduate work at the Davis county high school and assisted in physics and chemistry laboratory work. For two and one-half years he was engaged in the music profession as a pianist. In 1937 he began working in the Douglas aircraft factory in California. For four months he attended the trade school. Santa Monica JOHN M. KLENKE, JR. DOROTHY M. KLENKE For the BEST In HARDWARE COME TO 350 Twenty-Fourth St, (Bill Warnick) Introducing Our Athletes By COACH LOSEE This column will Attempt each two weeks to bring Weber college students a brief introduction of the outstanding athletes of the school. Two or three will be Introduced each issue. Delbert Nye, captain ot our toot-ball team, stands out as one of the best leaders Weber college squads have had despite the many outstanding men who have captained our teams. Deb played guard at Ogden high school and has held down that position at Weber for the past two years. His talents are not confined to the gridiron for he has appeared before the student body a number of times as a member of the Glee club. His poise, his sportsmanship, his football abality, and his qualities of leadership make him an outstanding captain. Allan Bader has distinguished himself as one of Webers great athletes because of his contributions in football, basketball, and track. Bader attended Ogden high school and was captain of their football squad. He was the only four-year letterman that has attended Ogden high school. Upon his graduation from Ogden high, he attended the University of Maryland and participated in football and track at that institution. He discovered last year that Weber offered the courses he desired and returned to Ogden. Weber has found Hook Bader to be a tower of strength on the football field, a skilled basketball man, and one of the finest high jumpers and pole vaulters in the conference. Many of you have noticed that he has one crippled leg, resulting from infantile paralysis. This handicap assailed him at the age of four, but despite the fact that his one leg was carried in a cast for six months, he insisted on using it. By constant activity he has de veloped strength and agility in the once useless limb. Anyone who plays opposite Hook on the foot ball field or watches him partici pate in other athletic activities will testify that he has completely over come his handicap. Tech, at night and worked in the factory during the day. After 16 months of training he secured a good job at the Douglas Aircraft, Inc., where he worked until coming here for the defense training program.Mr. Henry W. Leavitt is the instructor in electricity in conjunction with the defense training program. Mr. Leavitt is a graduate of the National Radio Institute and Television and of the New York Institute of Motion Picture Photography.He had 11 years of practical electrical work with the Redfield Electric company. During the first World war he served in the 207th Signal Corps battalion. For the last 10 or more years he has been employed by the Utah Power & Light company serving in the service department, as industrial superintendent, and as head of rural electrification. He has spent some time free lancing motion picture news for M. G. M. and International News and Way Films, Curiosity Pictures and Electrical Pictures. Mr. Leavitt is much interested in geology and geo-physics; he has a patent on a multi-colored floodlight projection device. Mr. Earl E. Lee is the machine shop instructor in conjunction with the defense program. From 1916 to 1920 he served an apprenticeship in the Southern Pacific shops, one year during this period being spent on the United States destroyer, U. S. S. Boggs, as machinist's mate, first class. Mr. Lee was then employed by the Southern Pacific railroad as a machinist until 1925, when he became shop draftsman. Between 1936 and 1929 he was machine shop foreman at the Ogden ordnance depot for the constructing quartermaster, from 1939 to 1940 he held the same position at Hill field. Mr. Lee is bishop of the Ogden L. D. S. Fifteenth ward. Mr. Theodore Allen is welding instructor. He served an apprenticeship on the Southern Pacific railroad from 1926 to 1930. From 1930 to 1933 he worked at various welding jobs in California mines and oil fields. Returning to Ogden, he worked at the Ogden Iron works until 1936, when he spent a year at the Ogden arsenal as shop foreman. Until 1938 he worked in the Southern Pacific general shops in Los Angeles, California. Returning to Ogden once more, he worked at the Arsenal until employed for the defense training program. Hunting, fishing, sports, and more welding are Mr. Allen's hobbies. Mr. Richard Vandenburg, who has had 21 years of shop experience, is spray gun painting instructor. Mr. Vandenburg attended the Weber Academy for one year in 1917 and worked as manager of the McLaughlin-Storey company in Ogden from 1918 to 1921. After spending two years on a mission to The Netherlands, he opened his own business, the Vandenburg Auto Painting company. In 1936 he went to work at the Browning Motor Car company in charge of the paint shop and left there this year to instruct in the defense training program. Mr. Vandenburg is especially interested in airplane work, fine furniture finishings, and sports. Mr. L. LeRoy Hains, Jr. has charge of the motorized equipment instruction. Mr. Hains has 26 years of practical experience as a mechanic.From 1914 to 1938 he was employed by the Ogden Motor Car company, where he rose from grease-monkey to assistant general manager. During these years he had experience with all types of cars, trucks, and tractors. In 1938 he was employed by the Forestry Service, where he worked with heavy duty equipment and was made foreman of the CCC truck division. Gridder Returns Allan Bader, football star, will again Mesa Welcome Criticized Thursday and Friday, October 3 and 4, Weber college had visitors. The Mesa -junior college football team from Grand Junction, Colorado paid us a that kept everybody indoors, college student body or faculty was on hand to greet tnem. How different a welcome Mesa got compared to the recep tion Weber got when they journeyed to Grand Junction last year. Team members who made the trip in '39 can truthfully tell you how well they were treated by the Mesa students. When Weber arrived the Mesa coaching staff immediately took charge. Lockers were secured for all team members and the lighted football field was put at Weber's disposal. The squad went through a lighted workout and Mesa paid the bill. This vear it was Weber's The student body officers and coaches alike failed to respond in any manner. Mesa stole quietly into Ogden and were con-spicious at our assembly by their absence. The night of the game Mesa was refused entrance to our locker rooms and were forced to dress at their hotel. Weber failed to provide a place for Mesa to relax during the half at the stadium and as a result we had to give up the dressing room and talk things over in a bus. Following the game Mesa returned to their hotel and took turns showering in bathtubs. After this lovely evening that Weber had so graciously planned, Mesa quietly left town. One Mesa player summed up the sentiment of the whole Mesa team by the following statement: "We thought Weber college was a school noted for its hospitality, if this is a sample of it we don't want any more. Students will admit that a different feeling was in the air when Riverside junior college invaded Weber. Special care was taken to make the Californians feel welcome. Mesa was our guest too, but they were given no special attention by our coach and student body officers. Mesa evidently disliked their brief stay in "Fair Zion." At any rate Weber college didn't do much that made their stay a pleasant one. To add a final ungentlemanly act on an already well-done job, Weber's well drilled team kicked the daylights out of their squad. Weber sent Mesa's wild mavericks home just a bunch of well tamed plow horses. Basketball Prospects for Coming Year Indicate Strength in Pre-Season Sports Summary Football has just begun but already Coach Swenson is looking forward to the basketball season. With a host of promising freshmen making their presence known, it is evident that there will be a class fight for positions on this year's team. These freshmen, along with a number of returning lettermen, give Swenson rosy dreams of a conference championship; an honor that proved itself to be too elusive for last year's Wildcats. Gone are two all-conference men, Captain Norris Nelson, center and Eldon Gardner sharpshooting forward. For the past two seasons, Nelson was the backbone of the team. His position will be extremely difficult to fill. Gardner and Nelson were the big guns of the Wildcats offensive. Gone too are several capable reserves. Allan Christiansen, "might mite" of last season's squad has enrolled at Western States Teachers' college. Jay Porter, capable guard has dropped school entirely. The absence of these fellows will be felt by coach and team alike. Regardless of these losses Swenson can smile when he looks over his "gold plated" frosh and his large group of returning squads-men. The "gold-dust twins," Bat Clark and Bones Childs, lanky forward and guard are back for another whirl at their positions. Les Gardner, husky guard, a regular from last year is also back. These three form the nucleus of a pennant contender. The squad men are all well experienced and are familiar with Swenson's style of ball. Bob Bell and Alan Bader, Attention, Hunters We buy, sell, trade and rent guns. Join our big deer contest. Get particulars at store. KAMMEYER'3 (Wayne Christensen) 318 24th St, fight for the Wildcats. visit. Perhaps it was the rain but no member of the Weber turn to play the host to Mesa reserve guards, Sherl Holmes and Clark Johnson, forwards, and Ty Little, center, are returning reserves. Husky Bob Bell is expected to give Gardner and Clark a fight for a starting position. Sherl Holmes, the Idaho Flash, may fit in at the empty forward position. The incoming freshmen give Swenson a great deal of pleasure. Three regulars from Ogden high's state champions are enrolled at W. C. All-state center Jay Hancey and Gene Green are expected to be in the thick of things in the scrap for regular positions. Hancey may be the answer to the empty center post. This chap has plenty of class and ability on the basketball floor. Green has his work cut out for him if he is to replace either Clark or Gardner at the guard posts. Carl Buehler is the other Ogden enrollee. He will give strength to the reserve ranks.

"The Home of the Big Pencil" 2362 Washington Blvd. Phone 4042 Intramurals Set Schedule for Annual Jousts BY GLEN CHERRY Coach Lossee's appeal invited participation as follows: "Intramurals have started. The faculty plays Thursday at noon. Will you please be there? I personally feel the faculty should participate with the students outside of the class room, and m- tra-murals activity is certainly conducive to better teacher-student attitudes. The boys enjoy these activities with the faculty and I am sure with half an effort you will receive the same enjoyment." After such an appeal the faculty could do nothing less than sparkle. They showed up at the game with ten men and two substitutes. They played a very good offensive brand of ball and turned back the Vick-ings with the score of 21 to 10. The faculty is now staging practices for their next game. The other two games were played between T. I. C. and the Yoemen, and Sigma Delta Pi versus the En gineers, with Sigma Delta and T. I. C. winning. All intra-mural games are free to the student body. Other activities that are very near are swiming meet and water baseball. Activities now under way are tennis and Softball. The intramural committee includes Mr. Losee, Glen Cherry, Intramural manager; Ray Freeman and Jack Barton, assistant managers, and Dale Anderson, secretary. The rules for intramural participation are as follows: 1. Competitive units will be major groups, social clubs, and any other group that may care to organize.2.

Forfeits, minus five points per man, per team. Gila-W. C. Game Is Cancelled Even the football season is feeling the effects of the defense program.Gila college, Thatcher, Arizona, has been forced to cancel its football game with Weber college, scheduled for Friday at Ogden city stadium, because too many members of the squad have been called for national guard duty. ber county high sends us Keith Walhquist, a clever guard who will make things interesting. Although it is a long time until football uniforms are stored away, many fellows are already taking advantage of the gym and are practicing daily in hope of making the basketball squad. With a large group of lettermen and a horde of classy freshmen Swenson is sure to mould out a worthy representative of the Purple and White. Mens' Outing Scores Canyon Success All of the fellows arrived approximately at the same time at the Ogden Stake camp, and spent a very enjoyable afternoon. Six teams were chosen by selected captains. The winning teams engaged in battle to determine the most outstanding one of the day. A group of about 75 fellows decided to mix in a friendly game of touch football. The results were not so friendly after all. This great congregation disputed each others words as to what was the correct score and we saw a quiet little game of not footbfll, but wrestling and fisticuffs. After the slaughtering had been done, there was a race to the dinner table which was on the opposite side of the river. In the scampering to reach there before any one else, such an abundant cloud of dust was created that it settled aver most of the meat loaf and beans. The cooks took time out to shovel off the debris and lunching began. Popsicles were to be issued after everyone had finished eating. This developed into a problem of how to give out only one ice cream stick to each individual; the problem was solved by a mad scramble. The herd took over. Some fellows, if we should call them that, gorged them selves on popsicles. Many others had less than a smell. All in all, everybody had a swell time and anticipate the next outing with pleasure.

Max-ine Shurtz, vice president; Marjorie Vowles, publicity manager; Mary Alpin, assistant intramural manager; sports managers, Jean Wol- thius, and Chloe Yates; and presidents of the dancing club, Ruth Roghar and Frances Mary Strat ford. Sophomore officers are: presi dent, Berniece MacEntire; secretary, Mary Dyer; intramural manager, Marion Sander; sports man agers, Michie Sato, Ruth Webb, and Melba Martin; fencing club, Ruth Tomilson; and swimming club, Elaine Williams. Tomorrow is the last day of volley ball. Next week the series of service ball will begin. The schedule for the series will be posted on the bulletin board Wednesday of next week. Michie Sato, chairman of the event, said today: "Service ball is a comparatively new sport at Weber college. The W. A. A. officials feel sure that the girls will enjoy the sport of they come out." Miss Ida Stewart of the faculty is sponsor of the organization. Weberites Leave For Hills Unusual enthusiasm among those stalwart outdoor men of Weber college point toward a regular slaughter of the deer in Utah this year. The college hunters have been preparing weeks ahead of time for the hunting season which opens Saturday. Perhaps you have noticed a bright red plaid shirt on the campus now and then. The wearer of such a garment is undoubtedly just getting familiar with the colors which will be so predominant in the mountains for the next few days. Mr. Farrell Collett is one of the faculty members who will persue the wary game. He is going to the mountains north of Logan to bag his catch he hopes. Glen Cherry is sure he knows just where to get a nice buck up near Coalville. Jay Bachman has a deer located up in Eden right in his back yard. Lloyd Norseth will seek his deer in South Fork near Magpie. Norval Benson has probably the best offer of all. His uncle is going to furnish him the car, food and gun. All he has to do is sit on the fender and the deer will be driven down to him. A few of the many others who will leave for the hills are Ray Wright, Jerry Young, Rod Dunn, Delmar Stone, Ray Crockett and Keith Wilcox who says his deai-will be preferably blonde.
