Show rage 4 THE SIGNPOST WEBER WILDCATS UPSET REGIS RANGERS SiMctmlimd Johnson, Reed Star By TED COLLINS Weber's gallant gridiron gallopers knocked the mud from their cleats, and climbed aboard the bus at noon last week bound for Denver.Twenty-two lucky boys were out to have a good time; course they will play a little football on the side. As I predicted, the hoys did win the Denver game, 19 to 17, thanks largely to I!ob Pell. It seems no one could stop Denver's Jerry Peterson, but finally when Pell did well - - - forgive me, dear readers (both of you), for not going into the details, but I do not wish cluttering up this jewel of literature with the gory facts. Kenny Reed made some fine runs. .Sometimes be had the ball; sometimes he didn't. If Weber's boys could pilfer towels like Denver did the ball, we would all enjoy free towel service here at Weber. Peed ran 20 yards once before he knew he bad been robbed of the ball. The trip was much the same as the last one, except Professor Gray wasn't drowned with itch powder last time. I tell you this to prevent wrong impressions, should you see him scratching. It shall be the policy of this column, to at all times, maintain bigh standards and in no case to tear down or scandalize persons about the campus. The dust in the Dixie game was loo thick; the Dixie boys ran up banks to snag passes. Benjamin Hudson, that red beaded G-dile you see about the halls, blocked out a man for ten minutes before he discovered it was a gust of wind. In spite of the weather, lousy jokes, and food that was cooked once or twice, the fellows enjoyed a swell tri). Cactus Peterson hog-t'ed Ins steak to cat it. Monk "Rhodes Scholar" Jensen, the boy with the w inning ' smile, made good mileage on borrowed food, and was the only fellow displaying decent table manners. Speaking of manners, imagine bow chagrined our boys felt when tin y applauded Dixie's school hymn an 1 found every one else standing in reverence waiting for prayer. Yeah, it really happened, course there are many freshmen on our team. Dixie rallied snappily. however; they didn't know Weber's school song so they substituted that popular and filling melody, "I'm From the City." In the IS. A. C. game Joe Adams ran up against tough opposition and injured a kidney. Surely tough to get busted up in game but then 1: fork over the dough for the doctor I call that love for the game, 'er sumpin. Don Match stuck his finger in some guy's eye and dislocated it (the finger). The doc no sooner bad the splints on than Hatch was back ag;ain to play a bang-up game. Wonder what kind of a school we would have if all students fought as hard for the Alma Mater. The B. A. C. game w'as surely a over into Cedar City and then it rained and rained. "All American" Whitesides ran at least 57 yards every time be got the ball but it was so muddy he ran in the same place. The players certainly appreciated the telegram the Whip club sent. They said it reminded them they liad something to fight for. I wonder if the ships got enough from this "On To Denver Drive" to finance a ten word telegram to Denver. Our boys needed some strong encouragement to push through "those two-hundred-pound Dcnvei-ites. Don't forget the pigskin scramble Friday night, October 10. This is one of the big games of the year, and every true student will shout his lungs out, to the dislike of allmusicians.

Yes? you joined W. A. A. Very smart gals, I siiould say. If the association isn't even more successful this year than it has been in the past, it won't be because the officers didn't try. Everything is being done to stir the girls to action, and when I say action, I mean action. Now if you doubt the enthusiasm in the work just follow Helen Blood or Marie Chevers about for a day. You'll agree with me that they are really going places in trying to i'ousc the girls to "get athletic." These two worthy "sisters of the society" have edited and published a W. A. A. handbook (gratis). If by any chance you haven't yet been exposed to a "sales tag" you'd better borrow a handbook from your sister student and read all about it.

You act the part most naturaljy. After ja century and a half you still respond to the winsome impeccability of Beau Briimmel." The professor laughed apologetically. "You young women, I believe, . Lllu 11 a yen, a yen tor beautiful habiliments." Then he proceeded to throw out to what was left of Lois' bunch another couple of coils of line about this Brummel pot of pansies. "The celebrated Brummel had more than clothes alone out of which to spin the filaments that hold aloft his imperishable name. His beauty of figure had such perfection that, to the feminine world of titled fashion, even his broken nose appeared patrician. The fastidious female heart of London pulsated more rapidly when word came that his laces had been glimpsed bowing their way down St. lames. "In contrast with him, it is said, at a grand affair other guests looked mousey or else like red and white leopards. His own clothes, you understand, made a harmonious unit; no one garment, no one color dominated the symphony of his wardrobe. By comparison, we are told, some who w:cre there looked 'positively dirty.' Such an asseveration is not unnatural, for Beau Brummel cleaned his teeth with red root and changed his linen three times daily and plucked out hairs with a silver tweezer. He performed these rites meticulously even when towards the end he had spent the last of his thirty thousand pounds and his friends would lend no more. "Bv that time he had withdrawn gracefully to Calais. Yet even there, using only the dregs of his former art and among yokels, he concocted for himself the popular title, Le Roi de Calais." "What were his achievements?" It was the enthralled voice of Lois Markey. It sounded small and faraway now, like an echo out of the past. "Whom did he marry?" For a second the professor halted in the smooth flow of his lecture. It was just as if some football hero, fagged from the Regis game, had released a gusty snore. Not near at hand, no, but back in the fourth row. "What were his . . .! Why, Lois, I . . . But you don't want . . .?" Now, the professor had not heard the second phase of Lois' question. Indeed, the word "achievements" upon her lovely lips, theoretically innocent of polysyllabics, unmanned The pix at left appeared in the Standard - Examiner, May 1 i 1!!!!

It's my guess that the spectators (and there will be plenty) will stretch their necks permanently when they sit up and take notice of the trim little uniforms we hope they won't overlook what's in the uniforms. After the game when excitement is running at fever pitch, it's not time to go home it's not time to let your spirit ebb away it's time to attend the big victory dance at We ber's ballroom. We call it a victory dance because if Weber wins, what a glorious victory it will be, and if Mesa wins well, it will still be a victory. Get it? (Thanks, Mr. Childs and Aurline). Bring all your pep and spirits I mean spirit with you to the dance and have a swell time. Have a time that vou'll never forget. Probably all the students will be voiceless after leaving their lungs at the stadium but then, you won't have to worry about the conversation. Dancing will begin around ten o'clock and will last-a-a-er-well, a little later than usual. Then it will be time to go home if you get what I mean. I hope this little pep talk will inspire all to give their support and loyalty to these big occasions Friday. You know, maybe with a little encouragement the freshmen boys could win that tug of war. Fellows, if you haven't got dates yet, get them. It re illy isn't fair to leave a girl behind after she's cheered you through thattug-of-war. Besides, eating peanuts at a football game and watching the other fellows dance isn't any fun. Let's make this day a big success. his understanding. Yet a pale flush of pedagogic happiness soon lit his scholar's brow. "Very well. Lois," be agreed, "you're a sweet girl, and I will list them. "First, before the evening ended, he would ask you if yoil really were Lady Lois of that far-off time to marry him and by the look in his strange gray eyes not even you, Lady Lois, could believe he meant it. "Second, he wrote 'The Butterfly's Funeral.' Yes. yes. I am aware you didn't know butterflies had funerals."Third, Lord Byron, in his more, gigolo-ish moments, always pronounced the name of Brummel with a mingled emotion of respect and jc.alousy. "Fourth, while the battle of Waterloo was making sausage meat of gallant Fnglishmen, dear girl, his nice judgment discovered the perfect knot for a neckcloth." "How good of you to tell me," smiled Lois with her most charming smile for persons over forty. "But what could have happened to Marvella and the rest? I've simply-got to see her. She was going to find Bob Baglev for me, vou know." Mesa Stiff Team, Says Davis Friday at 8 p. m. in Ogden stadium, the Wildcats meet a new-rival. Mesa of Grand Juncton, Colo., has just this year been admitted to the junior college league and they look like trouble ahead for Weber. In their last game Mesa tied with Westminster 6 to 6. Coach Davis says: "I expect still opposition and will use nothing but the regular team; I can only put in my best players and hope for the best." Then with a worried frown he added, "Winning against Mesa seems doubtful. I saw them work out the other day and they are plenty good." Joe Adams and perhaps Dcl-bert Nye will be out of the game because of injuries. As this is a game played on home soil, school officers expect Weber students to give the team their moral support by going out to the stadium Friday and yelling loudly enough to be heard in Grand Junction. Students are lucky ; John Public will pay 40c to see this game. Men Select Officers Men's association officers for the year who were elected last week arc : Val Goddard. president; Nick-Sweeny, vice president ; Tom Toyn, secretary. These in turn chose the following students for the Men's association council: Dean Williams, president of Excelsior; Harold Benson, president of Phoenix; Glen Brewer, freshman; Eugene Erough, freshman. These men will constitute the Men's association council lifter they have been approved by the board of control. A constitution will be drawn up by the council, which will be the controling body of the association. This will make for equal representation of all men students. One company reported that . . . 2 per cent of drivers looked both ways before driving upon the tracks; 17 per cent looked in one direction only; and 81 per cent looked neither to right nor to left. THE COLLEGE Features SCHOOL SUPPLIES and A pair of neatly executed forward passes, resulting in gains of 57 and 42 yards, spelled victory for the Weber Wildcats against Regis college, Denver, last Saturday in the only college game held in Colorado.Weber, trailing 7-0 at the end of the first quarter, rallied in the second quarter. Twenty-five hundred spectators rose in unison as "Boner" Johnson, husky end, leaped high in the air to receive Allen Christiansen's bullet pass and race -10 yards for a touchdown. Chuck Pell tried for conversion but his kick went wide and the half ended 7-6, with the Regis Rangers holding the slight edge. Third quarter, with the same setting but with a different cast of characters, the Wildcats agjain took to the air. These tactics resulted in their second touchdown. This time it was Kenneth Reed. 1-10 pound back, who took the ball, faded, and shot a 17-yard pass to wing back Dee Whiteside. Whiteside galloped 30 yards before be was caught on the five yard line by a Regis halfback sce upper photo). On bis third attempt, Glen Clark plunged over the center of the line for the Wildcats, second touchdown. The try for extra point was blocked. A bad kick by Distel, Regis' back which went out of bounds on the Regis 12-yard line, paved the way for another Weber score. After losing two yards around end, the Weber aggregation handed the ball to big Glen Clark. He crashed over the weak side of the line for the Wildcats' third touchdown. He then completed the scoring for the day by booting a placement. The Regis Rangers made their only touchdown late in the first quarter when their quarterback faked an end run, then leaped into the air to throw a pass diagonally across the field to McGee, Regis' end, who tucked the oval away and trotted across the stripe into the promised land. Once in the second quarter and again in the fourth the Rangers were in scoring distance, but lacked the drive to push the ball over. When Ralph Gray pulled the trigger to end the game, the score rend Weber 19, Regis 7. Again the Wildcats emerge victorious. Yet the bovs grant you that it was fight, fight, fight, every second of the game. Delbcrt Nye, who is playing bis first year for the Wildcats, Boner Johnson and J'ack Thomas. Weber captain, stood out on the line. Chuck Pell and Reed were sensational in the back field.
