Show THE SIGNPOST THURSDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1941 B.A.C., Weber Clash In First League Game Stiff Tilt Is Expected Because Of Past Years' See-saw Record BY BERT STRAND Weber will play its first conference football the day after tomorrow, when the team meets the Branch Aggies in the Ogden stadium in an afternoon game. This should prove to be a game worth seeing and a game that will have the spectators standing on the benches. In the past the Wildcats have seemed to carry a slight edge on the hard fighting Aggies from Cedar City, but all the battles between these two teams have been hotly contested and full of thrills. Both teams have performed several walk-a-way games in the past four years. In 1937 the fighting Wildcats proved to be a far superior ball team by coming away with a 25-0 victory. The Aggies were back last year with a sparkling team and rang up a 17-7 lead over the alma mater gridiron huskies. But in the year preceding this, 1939, Weber chalked up another victory with a score of 14-0. Going back three more years to 1938, both teams came out of an honestly fought scrap in a blistering snowstorm to end a smashing game with an 0-0 tie. Injuries Hit Team Weber's ball team has lost 12 men due to injury and dropping out of school, leaving a squad of only 18 men. The Aggies this year will have a squad of 37 men, of which there will be seven returning regulars and several new men who were outstanding prep stars. Fifty per cent of the Aggies' team is made up of short, sturdy men. They are rated as a fine collection of football material and have possibilities of capturing the title for this year. Mark Bradshaw is captain of the B. A. C. team. Their heaviest man is said to weigh around 250 pounds, and their lightest man hits the scales at 185 pounds. Weber's coach, Bob Davis, stated that "The team is improving immensely in practice and scrimmage games. Fighting spirit is up. We are ready for this reputedly strong team from Cedar City." Meets Mesa Mesa of Grand Junction, Colorado, will be the scene of the second intermountain jaycee football game on Weber's schedule. The game will be played on Halloween day, before the revenge-seeking fans of the Mesa student body. Last year Weber stepped right into the Weber-Mesa game and passed them a 16-0 defeat. The game this year will be a rough and tumble one if Weber expects to win, according to Coach Bob Davis."Mesa has already played four conference games and as yet stands undefeated. The morale of their team is mighty high, and that's hard to beat," stated Mr. Davis. Weber Whip girls have been scraping up money to accompany the team on the trip through sales of various kinds. They are going along to represent school spirit and help the team play a better game. Weber has not played any jaycee conference games and therefore Football Jamboree and Official Queen Contest EGYPTIAN THEATRE, FRIDAY, 1 1:30 P. M.

Half Day Canyon Trip Exercises He Men Students Tired bodies drooped around the campus last Thursday after the collected he men of the college returned from a strenuous day at camp in South Fork canyon. Occasion was the Associated Men's outing, which takes place every year about this time. The estimated 100 boys present were divided into groups according to the games they wished to play. Some played horseshoe, others played soccer, soft ball, football and volley ball, while still others preferred to hike. Several faculty members went fishing. The games continued hotly until five p. m., when the pangs of thirst and hunger overtook everyone. Inquiries about food began when Rex Mclntire, in charge of provisions, drove up with a car loaded with eats. There was plenty for all. Hot roasted potatoes with lots of butter, two bottles of pop apiece, hot meat loaf, pie and popsicles were passed out. The same day the Weber coeds also let their hair down and left their worries at home when they went to South Fork canyon for their annual outing at Magpit. Volley ball, service ball, hit pin and soft ball were the featured events. W. A. A. officers organized the girls into teams and then spirited competition began. The games continued until 4:30 p .m., when everyone stopped to eat their lunch. Each girl took her own lunch, but soda pop was served by the A. W.

OK, Come Monday Rub-A-Dub-Dub, three girls in a tub. . , , Beg pardon. But anyhow, wait. Here is a new trick In plain and fancy competition in the water. At least it was new until, last year. It is the cross-country swim, competitive for all the girls. Every Monday night the girls are allowed an hour in which to swim as many lengths of the pool as they can. Then the number of lengths are added up and according to a scale each length counts for a definite number of miles. At the end of the autumn quarter the girl who has managed to swim across the United States is declared the winner. At the award banquet she receives a cup. Last year Mary Olpin won it. Coach Bob Davis announced Tuesday that competition had got under way in both the autumn tennis and golf tournaments. Those competing for the golf championship are Dan Downs, Sid Malan, Ingalls Baker, Vern Ober-hansley, William Geertson, Darrel Cramer, Wayne Jacobs, Don Berry, Ted Boyle, and Jay Hancey. Members trying for tennis championships are as follows: Jim Sco-ville, Jerry Young, Mac Johnson, George Shimizu, Paul Blood, John Piers, Jay Hancey, and Ted Boyle. Mr. Davis said that this tournament helps to point out the best players in the school for tennis and golf team material in the spring. Miss Avis Wood has recently been appointed swimming club president by the W. A. A. When interviewed, Miss Wood stated that she expected nice cooperation for an interesting program had been planned. A number of girls went to Salt Lake to attend the Women's Physical Education section of the U. E. A. last week. The girls demonstrated various new games which are played with racquets. Those who attended were Miss Ida Stewart, physical education instructor, June Neil, Mary Olpin, Virginia Nelson, and Maxine Whittaker.

BY JUNE ROSE If you have been awakened from your daze by something that seemed like a wee bit of spring tripping by in the halls, it was probably Mildred Tag-gart.When we think of someone with personality plus, we usually think of the person not only as being popular, but also well liked by everyone. "Tag" fits this description perfectly. In the year 1922 at Morgan, Utah, Mom and Pop Tag-gart thought that something wonderful had come to their house. Let's see, that makes Tag 19, doesn't it? From the beginning she showed admirable traits of character. We know how important beginnings are and it appears that Mildred had this as her motto. After making an enviable record at Morgan high school as editor of the Trojan Trumpet Junior, she said goodbye to Morgan and moved to Ogden. From then on she has continued to climb to fame. At Ogden high school she was president of the Girls' associa tion. Last year at Weber she was vice president of the. freshman class. This year she has gained added glory as president of A. W. S. Her success is due to her dependability, qualities as a fine leader, beauty plus brains, and above all her friendly word and smile. "Tag" typifies the friendly spirit of this school, and is an example of what makes the school a pleasant place to study and work. short-term defense training for a single job is so attractive?" "How can the schools and the youth-serving agencies be better coordinated in their practices, purposes and organization so that each can contribute its utmost to youth and to society with a minimum cost?" "What system of adult education and extension services must Utah establish, better to round out and balance the education of the trainees, who are leaving the schools by the hundreds after the completion of short vocational courses?" "Before concluding this report it becomes necessary for me to supplement it by calling your attention to changes that will result from two important announcements received this morning. The first one is that Governor Maw appropriated adequate funds to match the Smith-Hughes and George-Deen money and thereby saved not only these programs but also the defense training programs and the short courses given by the schools for the CCC and the NYA. His appropriation also makes provision for scholarships for boys in the standard program, which means they will not desert it for the tuition free short courses." "The second announcement comes from Administrator Paul McNutt. It follows: 'Solicitation of youth for enrollment in the CCC or for employment in NYA will be limited to those eligible youth who without solicitation apply for such work. Solicitation of youth in person, by mail, or otherwise, and the use of radio, sound trucks, posters, newspapers and other releases and all methods of publicizing employ-men t opportunities with other agencies are prohibited.' These announcements solve part of the problems mentioned above but by no means all of them." WEBER BEAT j B- A C.

Yes, it is here, I mean deer season of course, so rent yourselves a rifle and hit for the timberline with me. Before I started my hunt last week. I thought it would be wise to talk with someone on the cam pus who had already got his deer this fall. I met Joe College walking down the path from the Moench building to the gym. "Say, Joe." I shouted, "I hear you shot your deer, did you?" "That's sort of personal, ain't it?" he returned. "Oh, that's not the way I mean it, Joe boy, I'm talking about shooting deer." "Yes, I got mine the first day," he said, the smarty. "What's it to you freshman?" First Hunt "Well, you see," I explained, "I haven't been deer hunting before, and I want you to give me some pointers." He stuck me with a pin and said. "Get it?" (sophomore humor, I guess.) "So you're a freshman and you want me to tell you about hunting? Mm-m-m," he pondered, "how interesting. "Well, the place I got my deer is a pip; there is deer galore every place you look, just waiting to be kilt. Here's how you get there. Go through Ogden canyon to Liberty, and take the road to the mouth of North Fork. You know where it is dontcha?" "I guess." "Right in the mouth of the canyon is the place I got mine. The catch is that you gotta be there before it gets light in the morning. The deer comes down out of the mountains early in the morning to drink from the stream. Get there about five o'clock and wait until you can barely see the outlines of the things. Shoot when you see something the shape of a deer move. Don't wait till dawn or they will be gone." The Kill I followed Joe's instructions to the "T" the morning I started my first deer hunting trip. I arrived at the mouth of the canyon, or what I figured was the near vicinity about 10 minutes before dawn. When it began to grow light, I strained my eyes toward the creek. Something moved; yes, it was a deer. Bang! Bang! it fell; I ran to the spot. My, what a fine monstrous buck it seemed to be; and yet it was only a two-pointer. I sat on the animal to figure out a way to move it toward my car, when a farmer rushed upon me with a double-barrel shotgun in his hand and curses on his lips. Bum Steer "You get off that critter, It belongs to me," he shouted. "Belongs to you, oh yeah! He's mine; I shotted him." "That's my steer and I'll sue you!" "Your deer, ha, how could you shoot a deer with a double barrel shotgun?" "I waren't aimin' to shoot '1m." "Well, how can you be so brassy as to claim him then?" Dawn came. I found I was sitting on the farmer's steer, and not my deer.

This is the worst beating the Wildcats have taken for many years, and it is the biggest victory in Albion's history. The Panthers got a red-hot start by shooting over two touchdowns in the first frame, taking the Weberites by surprise. The bad breaks started on Weber's first attempt to put the ball in play after the kick-off when a Wildcat man fumbled and Albion recovered on the Weber 22 yard line. Weber held fast in the second frame until a fumble on its own six yard line gave the ball to Albion. The Wildcats threw the Panthers for a 10-yard loss, but Sanders of Albion went 16 yards to score. Two touchdowns were scored in the final frame. One when a pass intended for Page of Weber was intercepted by Clute and carried to Weber's one-yard mark. It was carried over in the next play for a score by Engkelen. Another intercepted pass was carried over the Weber goal by Johnson.
