Show WEBER COLLEGE SIGNPOST. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1943 Utes Bewilder Wildcats In Second Game Of Basketball Season Cadets and Regulars Lose Doubleheader To Utah Quintets Weber college bowed down before the storm of a vastly superior Utah university "B" team Saturday night last, on the tail end of a 63 to 25 score. It was to be expected that Utah would display a stronger team, but their well coordinated passing, coupled with a deadly shooting accuracy kept the purple and white lads completely confounded throughout the game. The Weberitcs were caught with palms down, as it were, and left flat-footed and empty-handed innumerable times. Faulty passing, indecisive movements and inability to hit the basket was responsible for the Wildcats being left in Utah's tail wind. Of course, all things being considered, It must be remembered that Utah has the advantage in available manpower for basketball material.Soelberg and (Jail Score Verl Soelberg and Gait played fair ball for Weber, Soelberg getting 7 points and Gait shooting 9. Wat Misaka, a last year Weber basketball star .sparked the Utes with 13 points. Shruin also tallied 13, and Nance shot 10 points for Ut'al. The Wcbnr naval cadets also wilted before the dynamic hurricane of a Utah "A" team 60 to 25. Except for target shooting, the cadets are fairly good, but just aren't In the same class with the Utah quintet. The first half of the game was fairly close, although the Utes led all the way. The Utes passing combination broke through tho cadets defense a good deal of the first half. The second half, Utah moved into Weber ground and remained firmly entrenched, hitting the basket at will, to roll up a terrific lead. Weakest Point The cadets' weakest point appears to be their bad shooting. They just couldn't hit the basket the boys mised the points which would have kept them in the game. Zoller, Teel and Lutter played a fast game for Weber, totaling 16 points among them. Arnold Ferrin, last year Ogden High -star, and Sheffield sparked the Utah attack, Sheffield getting 14 points, and Arnold Ferrin shooting 12. Wilkenson and Condie also looked good fo Utah. Lads Recuperate From Strain Of Gym Ordeals Autumn quarter has finally reached a close and the men's gym classes breath a sigh of volcanic proportions and prepare to recuperate, during the Christmas vacation, from the tremendous strain they have been under the past weeks developing a well proportioned body. They have one prayer in their hearts, however, and it is that the local draft board may whisk them away into the armed forces to give the ma well-earned vacation from the strenuous ardors of this quarter.

BROS. Competition Runs High Among WAA Enthusiasts Competition between the various social clubs of Weber college aroused the interests of feminine the volleyball tournament spon-athletes to a "fever" point during sored by the women , athletic association.The tournament will be completed in two weeks which means that each club will have played all the other clubs. The first round was played November 12 among inexperienced teams with the following outcome: Chanodo versus Otyokwa with the squaws on the winning end of a slow game. La Dianaeda versus Tiki Kapa Kapa. La Dianaeda's manager placed a ring of goddesses around the sparkling Betty Lou Lamoreaux and with very good team-work they pushed T. K. K. out of the race. Sophvita versus Lota Tau Kappa. Sophvita is well known for the manv athletes she has, but they were overcome by the skill of Iota's girls. November 19 was the date the second round took place. Apparently the clubs had practiced some, for the scores were more even and the playing much smoother. Chando met up with the well-polished team of La Dianaeda and were defeated in two short games. The powerful Iota Tau Kappa team gave the squaws a spanking to push themselves onward to the championship playoffs while the girls of Sophvita made a grand come-back in defeating Tiki Kapa Kapa. When La Dianaeda defeated Otyokwa, the echoes resounded through the halls of Weber. On December 3 the goddesses trampled over the squaws. After three hard games the squaws weakened under the powerful machine. A slower game went on the other court between Chanodo and Sophvita. The maids of Chanqdo lack that something it takes to win and they lost after two quick games to the robust sea nymphs. W. A. A. has been doing a very successful job so far this year inasmuch as the girls are participating with much enthusiasm in all tournament. Ping pong, although not as strenuous as volleyball, has just as many participants. The outcomes of the ping pong tourney are Janice McKay of Iota defeating Donna Rae Jones, Chanodo. McKay won with scores of 21-13, 21-16, 21-14. Bernice Raw-lings, Otyokwa, defeated Jean Marshall of La Dianaeda. Marilyn Taylor, Tiki Kapa Kapa, lost to Blanche Chamberlain of Sophvita. exercises to accomplish as a final test in the gym classes. If this year's tests prove to be as vigorous as those of last year and the same source informs us they will be the boys will need all their surplus energy to come through with flying colors. The tests are to determine whether or not the boys are up to taking on next quarter's grueling labors, or if they should be spared the forthcoming ordeals. 4.73 55e to s 3.45 90c to s 300 MUSIC CO. Women Enter British Track LONDON, Dec. 8 (AP) Great Britain's 1943 racing season shortest of the war hit the finish line in a whirl of booming bloodstock prices that coincided with fears this home of the thoroughbred would face the competitive postwar period short of quality stock. At the same time, the buying crowds at racing sales mirrored optimism for another banner season in 1944. Women, making heavy inroads on yet another industry, fared so well on the track in 1943 that two of them may be the principal rivals for the 1944 classics. They are the Hon. Dorothy Paget, who has poured more money into racing than any oth$r Briton on record, and Mrs. Betty Lavington, a newcomer. Running 16 horses, Miss Paget's thoroughbreds won 26 races that enriched her stables at Elsenham, Essex, by $59,152. Mrs. Lavington finished her inaugural season as an owner by winning nearly $14,000. Ski Enthusiasts Prepare for Exalting Thrills Skiing enthusiasts will be interested in knowing that Alta, a local skiing center about 25 miles above Salt Lake City, is awaiting them with promises of thrills and excitement. The roads are paved and in good condition. There are chair lifts operating on city and perivian hills at a cost of $2.50 for both hills or $1.50 per hill. The dormitories are open and cost $1.50 per night. The cafe and lodge are open with Swiss dances held in the evening in front of a cheerful fireplace.Snow basin, 18 miles above Ogden, has not yet received enough snow. There is, however, a .sufficient amount at the head of Wildcat run, just behind Mt. Ogden for the more ambitious who enjoy a short hike along with their skiing. The lifts on city and Engin hills ha vbeeen fully reconditioned for future use. The lift on Wildcat has not yet bten completed but the ski shelter will be open.

Twin Hoop Bill Set At Field Reed Swenson, Weber college cage mentor, will pit his double crew of hoop charges against a set of Hill field casaba artists in the airbase gym, Friday night. The double feature will get under way when the Wildcats tangle with the officers' aggregation at eight o'clock and the Naval Cadets will meet the Bomber five in the good-night tilt, scheduled to get under way at nine o'clock. The junior college outfits got off to a bad start Saturday night when they received a twin drubbing at the hands of the first string and reserve crew from the University of Utah. The Wildcats were handed a 63-25 trimming at the hands of the regulars and the cadets went down to a 60-25 defeat by the reserves.

Center of attraction is Kimberly, where Idaho's only woman basketball coach, Pretty Jean Parsons, will show her handiwork on the home court Friday against invading Filer. Coach Parsons, who played on two state champion girls' teams while at Hagerman high and later completed at Albion normal, succeeded Rex Engleman, now at American Falls-She has three veterans on her team, while the Filer five is inexperienced.In the Upper Snake River valley, a brace of Class A teams gets under way today, with Madison of Rexburg traveling to Iona, a class B school, and Rigby taking on Roberts, also a class B five, at Rigby. Idaho Falls, returning this year as a non-official member of the Big Six, takes a brace of neighboring class B schools in a Thursday doubleheader on its home court.

Advance Rating Expected by Lt. Ralph Jensen Ralph Jenson, former faculty members of Weber college is now at Quonset Point, Rhode Island, engaged in naval officer training. He is at present a lieutenant (j. g ) and he will receive another promotion on December 23, 1943. Mr. Jenson's wife and family are now residing at 1024 23rd street. Mrs. Jenson states that her husband's letters about his "very vigorous" training are interesting and amusing. According to Mrs. Jenson, Lieuntenant Jenson is out of bed at six o'clock every morning-He must make his own bed, launder his own clothes, and keep his own shoes shined. Another daily occurance which reminds Lieutenant Jenson of his days at Weber college is the examinations that he assures us are very " "stiff." After putting in a strenuous day of physical exercises and class work, the men retire at ten p. m. Jenson writes that he finds the training interesting, but he doesn't care for the coolness of Rhode Island's climate. Ralph Jenson was the seventh member of the Weber college faculty to leave for the armedservices. . . Obstacle Course Develops Speed In Weber Men The obstacle course was invented for the purpose of developing men in the armed forces. It is a test of speed, skill and endurance. "The course at Weber is a good test." states Coach Davis, "it takes skill, endurance and speed to make any time at all." The Weber, cadets have the record time this year- It was established by M. S. Lewis. The time was 2:19fi. Cadet Lewis made this time on August 4, while here -at Weber. The civilian gym classes also have access to the obstacle course and have made some good time-The best civilian time was made by Bob Croft of Coach Swenson's class just after being ill. He covered the course in 2:33, a new civilian record at Weber. Coach Swenson said, "If Croft had been in good form he might have established a new record." The six highest scores of the Davis class are Jim Allen, 2:35; Stanley Stephenson, 2:40; Rolland Book, 2:44; Davy Day, 2:45; Lew Cook, 2:47; Gene Karchner, . 2:59. The six highest of Swenson's class are Bob Croft, 2:33; Bob Cooney, 2:45; Verl Soelberg, 2:49; Kay Thompson, 2:59; Sherman Hansen, 3:00; Dean Peterson, 3:03. Davis' class has an eight second higher average than the fellows of Swenson's class. "There have been several cadets who. have made better time than 2:20," says Lieutenant Adams, cadet physical instructor. Weber Traditions 1943-44 Cagers The Weber college basketball squad, in spite of a lack of experienced manpower, displays the traditional fighting spirit of the purple and white lads. Weber has a fairly good team this year, in consideration of the fact that only a few fellows went out for basketball this season. Weber will definitely improve as they gain actual game experience. The 1943-44 basketball roster as reported by Coach Reed Swenson is as follows: Dean Taggart, forward, from Ogden high; Shumchi Kobayashi, forward, West High, Salt Lake City; Randall Grow, guard, Weber High; Lewis Weathers, guard, Davis High; Charles Miller, forward, Ogden High; Bob Dunbar, forward.

Moscow, Dec. 8 With the first of the pre-season games safely chalked up in the victory column, Idaho basketball fans can draw a long breath and face the approach of the conference season with some right to hope for a creditable record.Only Letterman The crew that won a 53-43 decision over a tough set of sailors from Lewiston Normal consists, like most college outfits in the territory, mostly of men who are new to college basketball. Tom Collins of Boise is the only letter-man on the squad. "Babe" Brown, Idaho coach, is using Tom at guard this year. Last year he was forward and ranked well up among Idaho hoopsters in scoring. Four men who have played freshman ball at Idaho are also on the squad, and eight freshmen brings the total to 13. Originally, Babe had cut his squad to only 14, but Jack LaRue, Portland center, withdrew to join the marines. Outstanding Forwards Outstanding forwards on the roster are Tom Callan, Lewiston freshman who was high with 13 points in the first game and Paul Olson and Jay Gano, from Pierce and Moscow, respectively, both juniors who played basketball as freshmen but not last year. Starting center will be Bob Stewart, Moscow. Stewart is a freshman with fine ability who won all-district honors in high school. He's 6 feet 3 inches tall. Besides Collins, Brown has Leonard Pyne and Dale Ablin as probable first string guards. Both of the pair were on last year's freshman squad, which was undefeated. Coach Brown was pleased with the skill in shooting displayed in the first game. Field goals were made in a large percentage of the attempts, and all nine free throws were good. But defensively, says Babe, much work is needed. Barring too many injuries, Idaho should win its share, he feels against the kind of competition to be expected m a war year.

Iran Resurrects Rollo to Supply Janitorial Need By Iran Watts The cold snappy breeze that brings color to the cheeks and sends a pleasant chill through the body is bringing the jovial old man winter back to life. And with winter there is. and always will be, sleighs, skis, snow and snowballs. This might be ahe case: A good sleigh, warm blankets, soft hay and a nice girl combined with crisp air and white snow equal an un-forgetable day. The cold of the day settles into the snow and all that is left of the sun is the reflection of white among the deepening shadows- A cabin, perhaps, with hot drinks, a warm fire and a phonograph. What could be more glorious. Or this might be the story: A long steep incline that drops through the pines, a skier racing down the slopes send the thrill of outdoor sports through the blood. On top of just such a hill stands Rollo standing on his new pair of skis for the first time. He thinks to himself what a beautiful sight. He pictures himself gliding down those icy slopes cutting in and out pines, hurtling small crevices. Everything is so white. To Rollo it all appears so very simple- What possible difficulty could there be to skiing? With a violent shove he buries his poles in the snow and is off. Suddenly he finds himself moving with amazing rapidity. In-steady of in and out he is going straight straight down. Then as he passes over a small eight-foot jump he salaams into a dive, landing on his head. His ski boots being loosely tied, both skis glide smoothly toward the bottom of the hill. Rollo digs himself out of the snow and glances mournfully down the hill after his disappearing skis. The cool feeling of snow melting and running down his back adds to Rollo's agitation. Much to his discomfort he trods down the hill through the snow banks in stocking feet. He ignores his two skis he he passed them. Years later when Rollo becomes chief janitor of Hopsville high school, he will move to Florida at the first sign of a cold breeze and loll in warm sands of the sunny SBUth. Texas Owners Still "Hot" DALLAS, Dec. 8 (AP) Reports that Texas league club owners had "cooled off" toward reopening next season were without foundation, said J. Alvin Gardner, president of the circuit, upon his return from New York, where the national baseball convention was held. Gardner said none of the Texas league representatives and all clubs except Beaumont and Fort Worth had delegates at the meeting had indicated they were "cooling off." "I still think we, will have a Texas league race next year," said Gardner. The Weber college basketball team started off with a quiet bang last week by trouncing the Utah ASF depot, 23 to 7. It is evident, however, that their game leaves much to be desired. The Weber boys were apparently highly "fan-shy" and just couldn't seem to settle down and play good ball. Tlicir game was marked with an exceptional number of bad passes and misplays. Neither team, however, could find the basket, although shots were plentiful on both sides. The college boys overshot each other, and the basket, with a consistency that was unusual, displaying a remarkable hick of coordi nation. The Weber boys, however, had two good points in their favor throughout the game the Depot lads' inability to hit the basket also, and allowing the purple nnd white quintet to constantly draw them out of position which allowed for plenty of tosses at the bucket. The college men played a little better game while on the defensive. This fact, coupled with the depot lads' poor shooting ability, stopped the ASF team from reaching scoring ground time after time. With the development of a better passing combination and actual g t. m c experience, Weber stands to have a fair team this year, although it is not quite up to last year's aggregation. This is to be expected, however, for Weber does not boast a single letterman from last year to spark the attack. McGregor and Grow led the Weber attack; McGregor accounting for 9 of Weber's points and Grow tossing several long shots to score 6 more. In the Weber college naval cadets versus the 321st military police unit, the cadets displayed some keen talent and the game proved to be one of the evening's best tilts, with the cadets winning in handsome style, 30 to 21. The navy blue rolled forward with a nice offensive, infiltrating through the M. P. defense time and again to hit the target with deadly accuracy. Teel and .Wilson split high point honors with 6 points each. Kilpatrick, Lutter and Bradford also played a fine game for the naval cadets. The policemen could not penetrate the cudets' defense during the ifrst half and tried several long shots which didn't click. The second half, however, saw them slipping past the middies and pitching enough tallies to make the game fairly close. Tennis Prexy Favors Tourney NEW YORK, Dec. 8. (UP) Hol-combe Ward, president of the United States lawn tennis association, told members of the tennis writers' association yesterday that he favored holding the national championship tournament again next year. Ward said, however, that he was voicing only his own views and that the matter of the 1944 tourney would be decided by the U. S. L. T. A. at its January meeting. More Tennis Balls NEW YORK, Dec. 8 (AP) The outlook is for more and better tennis balls to be manufactured in 1944, Holcombe Ward, president of the U. S. Lawn Tennis association, said last night. He explained a new ball made of synthetic rubber has met all specifications. YOU NEED A BELT UICKOK Belts are a civilian necessity . . . and Hickok combines good looks with durability. $1 up Fred M.
