Show Thursday, February 29, 1940 THE SIGNPOST Page Four Charlie Herte POOR SPORTS By DONALD ROUSH Snow college not only won the ball game by points last Saturday night but in sportsmanship as well. A plague on you Weber fans who resorted to such childish practices as booing at the game officials in the last quarter. Whether Snow had the better team or not is not to be decided here and probably as little as can be said about the unsportsmanlike attitude of some Weberites the better. But one couldn't help admire the Snow fans for cheering for Weber even when they were being booed at by the Weberites themselves. We feel mortified letting a litle school one-fifth our size show us up! And in all things, sportsmanship! Fact This goes to remind me, Weber is by far the largest college in the Jaycee conference. Ricks, Snow, Carbon, Dixie, Westminster, and Albion all have enrollments of less than 300 college students. Mesa and B. A. C, I'm told, have only 400 or 500. Weber, with 1100 is the "giant" of the intermountain Jaycee conference. This factor undoubtedly gives Weber the advantage over the smaller schools of the conference. Our teams have been consistently good. But there is no getting around the fact that the Ephraim school's team was the better of the two Saturday evening. From all indications, the biggest part of the Weber varsity team will be playing for ye olde purple and white again next year. Bell, Porter, Sneddon and Les Gardner, all freshmen, will probably return. Rumor also has it that Rawson Child and Bob Clark will spend another year in "Graduate study here. Alan Christiansen, Norris Nelson and Eldon Gardner will probably go to a senior college next year. Just which one, I don't know. But none of them could go wrong if they chose a Utah school for their future alma mater. Utah university is most prominently mentioned as their likely choice, although I understand Western States Teachers' college would like to import a few of the Wildcats over there next year. Grapplers Lose to Mesa Invaders Coach Robert Davis' grapplers lost a hairline decision to Mesa J. C. by a score of 1114 to 12 last weekend. In spite of this defeat the Wildcat bone-crushers still have a good chance of taking the conference championship. With one more match at both Ricks and Mesa, the Weber chances are still high. By taking both matches the title will rest at Weber. In previous matches, Weber tied Ricks and lost by one point to Mesa. Many improvements have already been made in the team and more are expected. Coach Davis has ordered Darrell Pitt, present heavyweight, to train down to 175 pounds as Don Hatch who has been wearing a cast on his leg for the past month is expected to be ready to take over his heavyweight position in the next matches. Dee Whitesides, who has come up the hard way to prove himself a champion, will also add strength to the team. Whitesides won a fall from Mesa in Vk minutes. Tom Lawson and Ralph Mattson have been improving with time also. With a little more coaching and some rough spots ironed out Coach Davis has his eye on the title. Other members of the team are: Lark-in Patterson, John Nakomo, Willy Torabayashia. Meet Your Friends in UTAH'S Finest Ballroom Chas.

GOOD LUCK TO WEBER'S TEAM IN THE (Jay Pile 'Em Up, Wildcats As the camera interprets the championship games, played on the local tloor. Kawson Bones hilds fight for the ball; Teammates Rolfe Peterson and Noris Nelson, and four Snow players study the situation. Wildcats Bow to Snow Jr. College Cagers Sweeping themselves into the intermountain' junior college title by two wins over Weber in a three-game series, the Snow college Badgers made their visit to the junction city a profitable one. Snow cagers defeated the Weberites Thursday in Ephraim and Saturday in Ogden. Wildcats were victorious in the Friday night battle staged in the Weber gymnasium. The results were,: Snow college became holders of the intermountain junior college basketball championship, and Weber took second place. The first game between the two teams put on a rough, tough battle that found each team doing a fair share of its point making from the charity line. At one time the Ogdenites held a 14-1 lead, but the Badgers through the classy playing of Ross Park, speedy guard, tied it 23 all at half time.

The Wild cats held the upper hand all dur ing the game. At half-time they held a 13-point lead. But the Bad gers came back the second half and the game ended with a 9-point lead for the Weberites, 48-39. Saturday saw a tired group of A. A. U. Roe) Weber boys playing a ragged game against the more clever ball handling of the Snow teamsters. The Badgers led by a substantial margin throughout the game. An attempted second half rally proved futile for the Wildcats, for the score ended 41-34 with Ephraimites on the long end. the Weber Triumphs In Mesa Game Reed Swenson's Weberites trounc ed Mesa of Grand Junction, Colorado, 58 to 34, in a one-game playoff for the right to meet Snow at the Weber gymnasium. Mesa gained the eastern division crown while Weber ran wild in the northern division. With Child and Nelson each hit ting the hoop for 18 points the Weberites moved into a command ing lead in the very first periods and was never headed. The Wildcats moved ahead 13 to 6 at the first quarter and led 30 to 16 at the rest period. The Swensonmen held a 40 to 23 advantage as the final period opened. In this frame the Weber mentor rushed in practically all of his reserves. Weber's defense proved a stumbling block to the Grand Junction five. The Wildcats player super-ball both on offense and defense and the club is stamped as one of the best of all time at Weber. Bordigan and Simmons were the only Mesa players to hit the hoop consistently. Bordigan scored 13 points to lead the Colorado scoring attack. Fourteen Weber players saw ac tion in the championship game.

This will be the final week of competition, and the strongest teams are to meet and fight for first and second places. When Excelsior meets the Skulls and later the Skulls tangle with Sigma Delta Pi, the powder keg will be on fire in the A league. The Skulls and Excelsior event will probably decide the championship in the A division. Of course each team has other game sto play and there are plenty chances for de feat. One of these is the coming Sigma Delta Pi and Skull game. The game to watch will be the play-off between the championship teams of the A and B leagues, when they clash in a play-off series From the A league, either Skulls or Excelsior will take the labors. In the B division, without a doubt the Ghosts will be the quintet to defend the honors of their division The Ghosts will be heavy favor ites and are picked to repeat again this year.
