Show Wednesday, November 22, If3? Page 4 THE SIGNPOST Cats Leave for Decisive Three Game Series By OLE ZUNDEL Cat griddcrs left Thursday on what the local press called a "suicide" tour. They were to play three games in eight days while on this trip. And this is considered most dangerous to Weber's chances in the league. But the term may turn out to be a misnomer, for the injury list in the Cat hideout has been diminishing. And barring injuries in the California set-to, the Davismen will be in reasonably fair condition for the Dixie battle, which since the week-end defeats of Albion and Dixie has taken on a degree of importance that it may not have held for Coach Davis before the team's departure. A week and a half ago, about -the only worth-while thing left for the W. C. team was. just what it now has a trip to California. Now the team may tie for second place. The greatest honor, of course, is the chance to win over the probable league winners, Dixie. That school is still unbeaten in league play. Past First Hazard The first risk has been passed in safety. The 'Cats Saturday met Gila college at Thatcher, Arizona, in a tie game. The field was slimy and the playing was slowed up by this element so that no injuries were suffered by Weber players. Backfielder Joe DeCorse of Gila was laid out after only a few minutes of play, however, and had to leave the field supported by teammates. Sunday the boys left Thatcher on the second leg of their tour, for Riverside, California. Tomorrow, after two days' rest, they meet the Riverside bashers in a turkey day contest. Aside from the weariness of consecutive battles and the stiffness induced by travel, this game is the only danger before the last lap of the tour returns the boys to St. George for the blood-letting between the Cats and Dixie. That will take place next Saturday. Able Reinforcements But whatever the condition of the team when it returns to St. George after the California junket, it must be kept in mind that able reinforcements will be awaiting the team there. Keith "Cactus" Petersen, Don "Blackout" Mc-Clenaha n, Jack "Wheelhorse" Thomas, Ace "Dogfight" Bedsaul, Sid "Slippery" Foulger. William "Willie" Young, and Norris "Plink" Nelson, who have all been held at Ogden because of studies and employment problems, will roll into the south Utah center like an avalanche. And they ought to make the game a knock-down drag-out affair. Of course, Dixie has been beaten only once and the local toughs named above will not have had a good practice for a week or more. Plink in Backfield But nevertheless Cactus will go in at tackle. Thomas will resume work at center. And Plink will be in the backfield. Other changes will no doubt be made. Although a freshman, Dogfight is notable for his gameness, and Foulger and Young, it seems probably, will also have to get in and do their share. And, of course, these two gridders are looking for just such a chance, to put Weber in a tie for second place. A university that must ask itself what will the students think, what will the alumni think, what will other institutions think, what will people say, has sold its birthright. . . .Robert Hutchins in Satevpost.

His ability to snag passes from any angle has stamped him as a strong bidder for an all conference title. Childs has been in every game, and his ruggedness and stamina are surprising for one so long and bony.

Bye, honey. Editor. Ladies every Sunday 10 a. m. Tank Squad Ready For Tough Season Weber's swimming team in its third week of training, is making fine progress. Three work outs a week is getting the team in fine shape, although the first meet is still a long ways off. Norman Chatfield has been elected captain in place of Perry Lea-vitt, last year's captain, who is not attending school this quarter. Leavitt was an ace swimmer last year and his absence is conspicuous. Despite this fact, coach Losee is building a strong team from the rest of last year's squad and the addition of many good frosh swimmers.planting one of them in the eye of an opposing player. Child's career as an athlete began in junior high, where he starred in basketball and football. He was elected captain of the basketball team and played end on the football team at Weber high. Last year he came to Weber college and played both football and basketball in his freshman year. He was a regular on the' basketball team and helped lead the Wildcats to the intermountain A. A. U. championship in spite of injuries in mid-season. Upsets Seen In J. C. Grid League Old man upset kicked over the dope bucket again last week, aiding the Weber Wildcats to gain a top spot in the J. C. gridiron race. Saturday a strong crew from Mesa, Colorado, upset awould-be-strong State Normal college at Albion Idaho, 19-0, in the main upset of the week. In the nori-conference game at Cedar City, Coach Tuff Linford's Branch Agricultural college eleven marred the Dixie Flyers' perfect record with a close score of 7-6. This does not however, have any effect on Dixie's league standing so they are still in top spot with three perfect wins. Hswever, they still have to meet Albion, Mesa, and Weber, the three strongest teams in the league. A win for Weber this coming Saturday, November 25, over the Dixie Flyers will give her a chance to tie for top spot. A loss to any of these teams will throw the league into a tie. Whip Club Ready For Dixie Trip (Continued from Page One) night is still undetermined. But Rolene says there will definitely be "entertainment." Sunday the residents of the city of St. George will joyfully wave farewell to the Whip club. There are rumors afloat that the Wildcats are going to accompany Whip. But they are only rumors.

Jewelers 382 25th St Phone 3B0 Weber Ties With ila Eleven VC7 A strong Wildcat football team stormed into Thatcher, Arizona, Saturday, November 18, to battle thet tough, speedy GGila J. C. to a scoreless tie. The two teams were handicapped by the muddy turf. The Wildcats found plenty of grief trying to handle the wet pigskin. Their passes, which are a good half of their offense, slipped out of the receiver's fingers most of the time, even from the hands of that little left-handed juggler, Alan Christiansen.Both teams drove within the shadows of the goal posts, but neither could find the extra scoring punch in their drives. In the third period Weber pushed to the Gila twelve-yard line only to be held for downs. The Gila outfit put the ball over the stripe in the opening canto after a short bullet pass from Martinez to Layton. Layton was ruled to have stepped out of bounds before crossing the goal line, and the ball was called back. Weber held for downs. Statistically the Gilas had the edge, with 223 yards from running plays to 108 for Weber. They marked eleven first downs to four for Weber. The playing of Glenn Clarke, Childs, Lawson and Freeman was outstanding for the Wildcats. Water Sports Begin In Intramurals Water sports in intramurals begin next week, according to Dar-rell Dies, secretary of intramurals. These include water baseball and the swimming meet. The swimming meet will come Friday probably, and baseball will start Monday. These two competitions are open to all organizations that have been competing in intramurals and to any unaffiliated groups or individuals that desire to compete. Events listed for the meet, Which overshadows the baseball, are: elementary back stroke, plunge for distance, underwater glide, forty yard dash, 100 yard free style, 100 yard back stroke, medley relay, four-man relay, diving. So far, according to Coach Fer-ron Losee, the contesting clubs are rating about even, in intramurals. Last year's swimming meet was taken by Skulls. Retail Trade Assembly Topic (Continued from Page One) serve what is being worn, and what their teachers and friends wear. Clerks should watch all personnel in the store for pointers and likes and dislikes, from the janitor up. In answer to a question by Mr. Morrell Clark, teacher, Miss Tate pointed out that the ever-present blind alley fear mentioned by Mr. Clark need not be a probability if the employee has "pep." Mr. Simmons said that if the retailer gets the employer's viewpoint, he is on the way to the top. Miss Austin settled the argument by saying that if one has the ability plus responsibility, there is no limit to what he may do. There are many persons in every organization, she implied, who have the ability but somehow can never be depended upon to take over a job and do it. Direct Selling; Nail Polish Mr. Simmons, in speaking of "Direct Selling," declared that it is called direct because the salesman reverses the more usual system and carries the business to the customer. Direct selling is a major field in retailing. It has to do with such principal businesses as the selling of cars and real estate. It is far more difficult than the kind in which .the customer comes to the counter. But the necessity for superior selling technique and greater activity brings the salesman to life and makes him an energetic, cheerful, atrtactive person. . . . Prospective salesmen should be cautioned against too much grooming when geting a job and when working on the job after it has been secured. Selling is service; it is not a matter of how one wears his fingernail polish. The Intermountain Knitting Mills personalizes is selling in an effort to give this service. Its salesmen have an affection for their customers. . . . Students can be legitimately encouraged to enter selling as he did, said Mr. Simmons, for at one time he auditorium just puzzled aa they.

I've got talent and people have told me I should go on the stage, so I'm goin', ma!" It was here that Bertha's mother began to weep. Oh, why was her daughter so frivolous! But no matter how hard ma coaxed it did no good. Bertha went out the keyhole with her belongings stringing behind. Mrs. Bertha (Bertha's mother) grew sad to think her daughter was so frivolous. (Oh, I said that once before, didn't I?) Well, anyway Mrs. Bertha was sad. To show how bad she felt, she adorned a dressof black. Life had been very bitter to her. First it had been her husband. How sadily she remembered that hugry impulse. She had gobbled him to bits when the pension failed to tome. Now it was Bertha, her oniy pride. What misery, what a life; That, folks, was how Mrs. Bertha became known as the Black Widow. Now back to Bertha. She was following up her urge to appear on the stage. Then too, she wanted a roper of a cowboy. There was no alternative. What did Bertha do but climb aboard the ship of faith and turn the clock back to 1800. She applied her saved coinage on the ticket to go "out west" on the stage coach.Yes, for her first aim was to be on the stage; therefore, stage coach. For days she rode the wagon. Then one nigth it happened. A woo tick came ticking around; so she and he went and done it. That is why you see so many ticks jumping around. Aren't you ticklish? Anyway, they went and did it. Later she became known as Bur- pin' Bertha. How did she get that way? Well, this tick was a big game hunter. He was a tick, and he lived on blood from humans. Well, together they lived and together they made their whoopee. For they drank so much they became drunkards and Bertha was one who would rather burp and hear the same than to hold it and bear the pain. That is how she as Burpin' Bertha. became known So ends the story of a girl who did make a name for herself even if it was through a burp. backing the hearse up to the door.

Large Number Try For Varsity Basketball Squad With a swish of the ball through the strings of the basket, many lads are again trying for a post on the Wildcat varsity squad. In view of the long standing reputation of Weber as a deadly team, they have a hard job ahead of them. Weber last year won the A. A. U. title of Utah then proceeded to give a good account of themselves in the national A. A. U. joust. And since Coach Swenson lost only two of his mainstays in league competition last year, it is quite certain that he can again turn out a winning team. Phil Revell and Jack Thomas will not see action with the purple streaks this year. But Norris Nelson, the outstanding player last year; Eldon Gardner, speedy forward, Alan Christiansen, another small but speedy forward; Rawson Childs, who promises to be the outstanding forward of the league barring accidents; Bob Clark, tall, rangy guard; and Grant Reese, sturdy guard, will be formidable competition for any who are trying to make the varsity team. Those who made the varsity last year were Phil Revell, forward; Rawson Childs, forward; Jack Thomas, guard; Norris Nelson, center-captain; Clifford Johnson, guard; Alan Christiansen, forward; Keith Petersen, guard; Mel Manful, forward; Bob Clark, guard; Eldon Gardner, forward; Grant Reese, guard; and Jack Wecker, forward. Naturally, Coach Swenson is looking forward to a great year, and is eager to get all the fellows out to see just what material he has. Plenty of freshmen hoopsters will attempt to make posts on the squad, Mr. Swenson says, and he welcomes them. Many rangy "hoopmen of the hardwood" have come from Davis, Ogden, Weber, Box Elder and other schools. They all have ability and will make tough competition for Wildcat opponents. Too many people mistake the discomforts of democracy for defects and are ready to burn down the barn to get rid of the rats. Dr. George T. Hunt, history department chainman, Cleveland college.I've always been opposed to too much leniency. Life in prison is not sufficiently different from life outside. Gov. Luren Dickinson of Michigan. Probable lineup for the Riverside game will be: Alan Bader, center; Milt Berg-lund and Del Nye, guards; Bob Sneddon and Frank Berglund, tackles; Bob Clark and Rawson Childs, ends; in the backfield, Alan Christiansen, quarterback; Glen Clarke, fullback; Tim Dyer, halfback; and Grant Reese in the remaining backfield position.

A familiar sound that will be heard all over the campus when we bring ole man turkey to the block. This year willbe a boon to the turkey that has 'a pain in his neck.

Grisly, eh wot? Like Lou's hamburgers. Take it from me, the team should take some of Lou's burgers with them; put them in their helmets, or the opponents' football. The effect would be like kicking an old hat on April Fool's Day drop that knife! I didn't mean it, Lou. Speaking of knives, I think Sherm French is carrying a knife for me.

While I was at theWeber-Westminster game, I managed to walk over on our opponents' side and watch the game for a while. As I looked at the heads of the Weber student body, I got much the same effect as that received at a tennis match. If you have ever watched an audience at a tennis game, you will see what I mean. Thank heaven they changed sides at the helf. My neck was getting so stiff watching one touchdown after another made on the same goal that it was hard to change at the half. I talked to one of the players after the game and he said it wasn't the playing in the game that made him tired but the walking back and forth from Westminster's goal post.

C. game in this city, watched the Wildcats strike' pay dirt for tbe first time three minutes after the contest started, and then stayed to see them keep on rolling for the remaining fifty- , seven minutes of the encounter. Four touchdowns, two in the first period and two in the second period, gave the Weberites a 27 to 6 half-time lead. The visitors gaining a counter in the second frame. Weber crossed the golden stripe once in each of the last two periods to send a badly beaten Westmin ster team from the field when the game was called. The entire Parson team sehed to lack stamina to put up a fight 4 equal to the Wildcats'. Among the local players, each man played on a par with his mates. To give one or two Wildcats any special tribute would be an injustice to the rest of the squad. The entire team saw action in the game, and from the last substitute to the starting lineup there was the same dogfight spirit and brilliant ball playing.Carl Worden, who tried out a new knee-wrap taught the coaches " by a professional football trainer, was again injured and was forced to give up all hopes of again playing football.
