Show THE SIGNPOST THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1940 Students, Faculty Down Many Big, Big Bucks BY RAY WRIGHT Faculty members of Weber college proved last week end that they are the best deer hunters of the school. There were two students to every teacher who went hunting. But, on the average, the faculty brought deer back one hundred per cent while he students averaged about fifty per cent. Our largest man on the campus, Mr. Orlo Childs, deserves the most credit for his outstanding accomplishment o killing and carrying to camp his limit of ninety-five pounds on his shoulders. His limit was a spike which was just a little bit slower than a bullet which entered its heart as it was running down a canyon. Mr. Lorenzo Peterson and Mr. Harold Handly, teachers from the vocational building, went to Parker's ranch in the south part of Sevier county, where each of them bagged a buck. Mr. Peterson's buck weighed two hundred pounds and had four points. Mr. Handley stated that his deer wasn't as big but it will be more tender when served on the dinner table. Both teachers were well pleased with their hunting results. Dixon, Stevenson Another group of faculty members who went deer hunting and made good was President H. A. Dixon, Mr. Merlon Stevenson, and Mr. Ralph Gray party. They journeyed to Cove Mountain, west of Fish Lake, where each one was successful in getting a deer. Mr. Stevenson stated that the only reason he shot a. deer was the fact that it was charging directly towards him and he had to either shoot it or get run over. President Dixon's prize wasn't quite as fierce. It was a doe. In our school we have two modest teachers. They are Mr. Ira Markham and Mr. Guy Hurst. They traveled all the way to Cove Mountain near Fish lake, shot a deer apiece, and then came back to Og-den to try and hide the fact that they are very good hunters. Mr. Clair Johnson and Mr. Walter Neville each went in different parties to do their hunting. Mr. Johnson bagged a three-point buck in Mayfield canyon in southern Utah. Mr. Neville also got his deer in the south. He seemed quite pleased with the results of his hunting trip. Tim's Bear Although Tim Dyer, football player, didn't get a deer, he did get a thrill by shooting a brown bear. He was hunting deer at Monte Cristo when all of a sudden he heard the shouts of his companion, Bill Steele. He rushed to his companion and saw a bear chasing him up the mountain. Tim raised his trusty rifle and to his amazement the bear fell dead. Glen Cherry had to shoot two shells' at his deer to stop it permanently. He knocked it down once and was just going to cut its throat when it arose and ran away. He chased it about a block before he could get another good shot. His second shot was through the deer's had. It was a three-point, one-hundred pound buck. Ken Hall, of the vocational buld-ing bagged one of the largest deer that was brought to Ogden. It was a six-point, two-hundred pound deer. He shot it in a canyon near Richfield, Utah. Joe Peterson, end on the football team, got a nice two-point buck in Devel's Slide canyon. His shot was spectacular considering GRIDIRON CLUB Before the whistle blows for action look around the stadium and you'll see the best dressed men wearing this new University style by Berg.., $3.95 Fred M.

Ted Toone went to Beaver and got a three-point deer. He left for Beaver the day before the deer sea son opened. He stated that he had it already to kill by the time the season did open. Eliot Berlin traveled to Lost Creek where he tramped the mountain all day. Finally, in the closing hours of the day, he got a shot and made good. the deer was a block away, on the run, going up a mountain. Joe, congratulations.I-argest Buck Albert Hobson got a large four-point, two-hundred pound deer in the southern part of Sevier county. This was one of the largest deer shot. Sid manning and Sherm (P&G) Evans went near their homes to do their hunting. Sherm shot a spike and Sid shot a three-point, one-hundred pound buck. They stated that hunting was good in the valley.Carl Hill went to Logan canyon and got a three-point buck which weighed about one-hundred and eighty pounds. Fred Simons, who blocks well and apparently shoots just as well, got a three-point deer. Fred says, "It was tender and juicy too." His deer came from upper Cottonwood canyon. 'Milt Berglund went to Monte Cristo and got his deer just as easy as rolling off a log. Some students tramped all day and didn't even see a deer. W.A.A. Volley Ball Tournament Closes A vicious battle brought the Volley ball tournament to a triumphant close last Friday. After a series of furious combats between affiliated and unaffiliated flowers of womanhood, the W. A. A. officers retired to their corner to decide the verdict. Iota Tau Kappa emerged from the debris unscathed and unbeaten, thereby winning two-fold honors. The first being 100 points for winning the tournament, the second 380 points for having the largest number in attendance. Melba Martin's team took second place honors and received 60 points for losing only one out of the six games. Otydkwa came in second, winning 330 points for attendance. Tommy's Midgets and Tiki Kapa Kapa tied for the third place, 40 points for having won four and lost two of their games. Each girl receives 10 points each time she participates and the team to receive the most points for participation wins the traveling trophy. This trophy becomes the permanent property of a team after they win it for three consecutive years. The individual points given out counted for the team but are also considered in the giving of the block W's given to girls for outstanding participation in intra-murals.This Friday sees the opening of a new tournament called Service Ball. Once again all feminine beauties are urged and commanded, if they are pledges, to participate. The time and teams are listed on the W. A. A. bulletin board and the teams are requested to start on schedule or lose the game by default.W. A. A. activities are for the alluringly slim and pleasingly plump alike, come to the games to trim your figure or keep your figure in trim as your individual case requires. These 'games are expertly supervised by the officers and a feeling of friendly good nature prevails.Each Friday at three-five the gym becomes the center of feminine screams and flying figures. All girls should participate but for those who fail to feel the thrill of combat, spectators are not excluded. Aggies' Weber Club Active Aggies' Weber club is again active this year. In the 1940-41 election, Nobel Dehart was retained as president, Roline Pitt was elected vice president, and Dick Hinchcliff was chosen secretary and treasurer. Appointed as intramurals manager was Glen Fuller and as club scribe, Wilmer Perry. Upon conclusion of the business session, games were introduced by June Tracy, and refreshments were served. Thirty-five members were present and indications are that this club will be increased to 60 members.Membership of this club is limited to former Weber students. The purpose is social and intramural activity. A constitution has been adopted to conform to club requirements of the school. Weber club's first intramurals activity was a game of touch football played with Studentville, the Trailerites. Weber won by a score of 9-0. Buswell) $2000-2250 Guess Who . .

Wildcats Resume Practice After Week of Rest Determined that they are going to make things tough for other teams in the Jaycee league, the Wildcats returned to practice Monday after relaxing a week. The Weber team has won its only league game so far this season. It has also won a non-league game with Western State and tied one with Riverside Junior college. Five games remain on the Wildcats' schedule and three are with teams that will be scrambling for the conference title. Idaho State Normal is first on the list after a non-league skirmish with Idaho Southern Branch on November 2. Albion comes to Ogden on November 11, and Coaches Bob Davis and Milton Meacham are losing no time in drilling the team for this encounter. All of the Wildcats came through the Western States game without serious injuries. Although Ray Freeman was ill in the last game and was in a slump, he is now gaining back his old fire very rapidly. Wayne Hill, freshman, is also showing loads of stuff in his new position as guard. Wayne and Ray will both see plenty of service in the rest of the games. Davis will work his charges hard all this week getting them set for five tough weeks to come. After the Idaho Southern Branch and the Albion games, there remain three games. The first is with Westminster at Salt Lake City. The second is with Branch Aggies at Cedar City, Utah, and the third is with Pasadena Junior college at the Rose bowl. TOUCHDOWN! Don't Miss the Game Saturday EBER-IDAHO SOUTH "USE YOUR STUDENT CARDS" . Guess What . . Know Your Athlete Losee Reviews Childs and Hodson By Ferron Losee Weber County high school has sent Weber college a number of outstanding athletes. Probably one of the best has been R a w s o n "Bones" Childs. Childs' record at Weber County high includes participation in basketball and football. He was captain of the basketball squad in his senior year and was second choice center on the all-state team. He played end on the football team. A series of injuries and accidents hampered his first year at Weber college. During that year he was in an accident in which his father was killed, and Rawson was seriously injured. After recovering sufficiently from this accident, he suffered a broken finger in his second basketball game; thus he was kept on the sidelines for most of the year. Last year, however, "Bones" came through with outstanding performances in both football and basketball. Although he graduated last year and received tempting offers from the Utah senior colleges, he changed his major and returned for one more year at Weber. Childs is going out as a machinist under the national defense set-up. Childs receives a great thrill from athletic competition. When the going gets hard, "Bones" begins to enjoy the game. During a contest last year he was injured, and when the trainer went out on the field to investigate his condition, "Bones" looked up and remarked, "Boy, am I having fun!" Grant Hodson, another Weber County high school man, has been one good reason for Weber college's success thus far in our 1940 football campaign. His high school record is full accomplishments, including president of the Seminary class, president of the Who's Who and Alpha Theta clubs. He was a member of the honor roll throughout his high school career and won the gold watch for the best scholar-athlete at that institution. He was offered an engineering scholarship to the A. C. but declined it. His athletic record includes football, basketball, and baseball. In his last year at Weber County high school, he captained both the football and the basketball teams. Grant laid out one year after graduating but continued his athletics in M Men competition for the Marriott ward, participating in all M Men sports. The college has found Grant to be one of the finest personalities to represent her in athletics. Although he talks little, one is constantly aware of strength and power in his character. Every member the left is Dean Merlon Stevenson, dson . . . Officials Raise Golf Finances Weber's golf team, nearly forgotten in former years, was justly rewarded this year. Coach Bob Davis, who was instrumental in starting a combined high school and junior college golf league, was allotted a handsome sum to finance the golfers at Weber this year. Last spring a trip to Colorado was called off because of injuries and the lack of funds. With ample finances in sight this year plans are being made for a large golf schedule.Weber's team will be greatly weakened with the loss of Russ Croft who is now in the U. S. Naval Academy and Bud Hulmston who left school. On the brighter side is the return of Mark Austad and Glenn Shannon, regulars of the past two seasons. With Corky Cntchlow and Bob Bell available W. C. has a potentially strong team. Bob Brown, a transfer from Arizona, should prove to be a valuable man. With these men, adequate finance, and Coach Davis, Weber is assured of a successful golfing campaign. of the football squad recognizes his worth to the team. In talking with us this year, every opposing player and coach has mentioned the performance of Hodson, and all have agreed that yardage cannot be gained over him. Within the next few months, he intends to leave for an L. D. S. mission. With him will go the best wishes of Weber college's student body and especially of Ruth Green-well, who has definite interest in him. Have Your at (Joyce He ru I H BERTHANA ROLLER RINK j 8:00 to 10:00 Including Sunday Phone 854 Sports Gossip Touches Up Romance, Bets By GLENN SHANNON Following the downfall of the faculty softball team to the Excelsior club, Coach Losee suggested a new intramural activity. In a formal statement Losee told athletic managers of the prospects of a woo-pitching tournament. Losee is confident that the faculty can show the collegians a few things about this popular campus activity, I wonder . . . Those very popular and worried looking gentlemen of last week, Delbert Nye and Dick Toscan, are almost normal again. It seems that two Grand Junction, Colorado, girls have quite a crush on our blushing heroes. Deb had a lot of explaining to do for somebody's benefit about those telegrams. By the way, Deb, is it true that Alice wants to correspond steady with you? My, such popularity . . . Headache Speaking of football, here is a headache for you, coaches. That Idaho Southern team you run up against Saturday took Albion into camp last week to the tune of 30-26. It is rumored that Albion's team is as tough as scrap iron and four or five times nastier, if that's true Weber is in for a very bruising tussle . . . More foqtball: The mighty Pasadena J. C. Bulldogs were defeated last week 14-13 by the underrated San Mateo J. C.'ers of California. Weber men feel crestfallen over that fact. They remember that 7-6 defeat they handed to P. J. C. last season that broke an 18-game winning streak of the Bulldogs. Weber had harbored rosy dreams of being the only team to turn the trick this year in Pasadena's huge Rose bowl. Dave Handy, that busy betting man you all became acquainted with during the recent world series, is loose again. Dave says he has a system worked out and he can't see a single way how he can miss winning $500 in the Salt Lake City Tribune's football guessing contest. Is that system a secret, or do you plan on letting a few friends in on the deal, Dave? For Swenson Coach Swenson should peek in the gym some afternoon and cast his optics on "Stinkey" Manning. Manning has been playing basket ball daily for the last two weeks and he is showing plenty of class. Sid should fill that big gap left by Eldon Gardner, who is in the army this year. Manning is a former all-state forward from Lehi. Speaking of basketball, "Lefty" Bob Sneddon is still at Weber and will be in evidence when team trials begin. Sneddon was overlooked in our last Signpost. Spies of the Signpost staff have dug up information concerning that Mesa quarterback who walked off the field in Weber's last home game. In a letter sent from Grand Junction, we have word that the members of the team presented him with a gold-plated watch case and Coach Carlston gave him the works . . .

The Cougars have the honor of being the first teari to score more than one touchdown on the Wildcats this year either in practice or league games. Scooter Skousen, atom quarterback from B. Y. U., started the scoring in the first quarter by power driving from the 40-yard line to the Weber's goal line. He converted for the extra point. The next two touchdowns for the Cougars were due to passing and receiving combination of Skousen and end, Gardner. These touchdowns came in the second period. Weber's lone tally came in the fourth period when Ray Freeman ran around left end 20 yards for the touchdown. N. Y. A. Program Explained By Director Mr. R. L. Davis, chairman of the National Youth Administration at Weber college, states the following about the National Youth Administration:1. The N. Y. A. was instigated in 1936 for the purpose of aiding col lege students who otherwise would be unable to attend, because of limited finances. At the present time there are approximately 200 students receiving this aid at Weber college. These students are required to carry 12 credit hours each quarter. 2. In 1939, an additional project was started in which students could work on outside projects and attend college at the same time. The reconstruction of the old county court house into a boys' dormitory is one such a project. 3. Not included in either of these two groups are the laboratory assistants and janitorial staff who receive their work through Student Aid. The Student's Aid project is not affiliated with the N. Y. A. but is sponsored solely by the college.Coed Injured A broken ankle and a consequent vacation from school were the results of Neva Huggin's attempted banister glide in the Moench building the other day. Stoutly insisting that her begrimed saddle oxfords had "nothing at all to do with it," Neva. slipped on the stairway and was rushed to medical aid, where it was discovered that what hat at first appeared to be only a sprain was actually a fracture. next issue.

AND THEY ARE BSrSAYSi'M.THE BEST DRESSED, -f A snarling band of Bengals from the University of Idaho Southern Branch will invade Ogden Saturday. The Bengals, fresh from a victory over the strong Albion team, will be out to hand Weber her first defeat of the 1940 pigskin season. Coach Guy Wicks will bring his entire squad to Ogden for the non-conference skirmish. The Bengals come to Ogden with a fine record. Outstanding game of their season was the recent 30-26 victory they gained over the Idaho State Normal team. U. I. S. B. boasts one of their finest teams in history this year. Coach Wicks has a big, tough, and mobile line. Behind this line a corps of lightning-fast ball carriers deploy. Bob Goodnight, rugged guard, leads the fast charging line. The central positions are bly filled by Goodnight, Lowell at center and Bill Weidoff, guard. Weidoff is, incidentally, the jitterbug king of the Southern Branch campus. The backficld composed of Owens at quarter, Gallagher at fullback, Dykeman at half and Erickson at the other half, is fast and well experienced. The line plunging of Gallagher and the all round play of Dykeman, stamp them as to me, to watch. Erickson is a different problem for the Wildcats to cipe with. The passing attack of the Bengals is built around Erickson and a rangy end, Atkinson. Southern Branch comes to town with a fine team and they are determined to hand Weber a slap in the face in the form of a Bengal victory. Weber began preparation for the Bengals on Monday, following a layoff of one week. This layoff has helped the injured men of the squad to regain their old-time form and Saturday should find the entire Weber squad In first class condition.The members of the squad suspect that this will be one of the toughest games they have played this season and are determined to outscare the touted Southern Idaho team. Ray Freeman ia expected to be ready to go by Saturday and should cause the Bengals some very worried minutes in Saturday's clash. Stub Dixon has looked good in the blocking back position in recent practice sessions and may be in the starting lineup. Big Bob Sneddon is ready and with the big Weber forward wall in first class shape the Wildcats should bring home a Weber victory, Saturday.
