Show Basketball Squad Gets Small End In Southern Tour Promises Revenge in Return Tilt With Mesa's Maverick's, Saturday By BOB BELL Weber's fighting Wildcats were downed in two nip and tuck battles during a recent invasion of eastern Utah and southern Colorado. The Wildcat basketballers first dropped a 37 to 32 decision to Carbon junior college at Price, Utah, on Friday, January 9. The riext evening they engaged in a four period thriller with Mesa of Grand Junction, Colorado. Although Mesa was favored to win, the Utah athletes were determined Coach Losee Directs Swim Meet Coach Ferron Losee will be in charge of the annual In-termountain A. A. U. junior swimming championship meet to be held at the Weber gymnasium pool February 11 and 12. Swimmers from the Deseret gym, University of Utah, Utah State Agricultural college, Logan, Granite, Bear River, Box Elder, and Ogden high schools, and from Weber college and the Weber gymnasium will participate. Medals will be awarded to first, second, and third place winners. First Places Last year, O'Dell Sanford, Albert Hobson, Wayne Christenson, and Clair Whitley won first place awards for Weber.

Ralph Barnard and Floyd Champneys will compete in the backstroke division and, according to Coach Losee, will have a good chance of breaking the ten year old record for this style of swimming. Earl Francis will represent Weber in the diving competition. Others are training- daily and many may take points in the meet. Yates Gets W. A. A. Presidential Post At a recent meeting of the W. A. A. council, Chloe Yates was appointed to fill the office of president which was left vacant by the failure of Mary Olpin to return to school this quarter.

Despite this attitude and alter naving oeen ahead several times and tieing the game up 12 times, the Wilcats were repelled in the closing minutes and lost the game 54 to 62. Hancey, Jensen, and Misaka played good basketball for Weber, while Westly, Strain, and Morris were the outstanding players for Mesa. Saturday night, January 17, the team is determined to avenge Mesa's triumph. The Mavericks will bring 10 men to Ogden in an attempt to hold the leadership in the junior college conference. The Weber team, however, will be try ing to elevate themselves from the cellar spot and will shoot the works in what promises to be an interesting and thrill packed contest. Wildcats Defeat Alumni in Two Contests Basketeers of Weber college unleashed their big guns to defeat the college alumni team in preseason holiday games. The collegians ran rough shod over their victims in the first fray to gain an easy 55 to 43 victory. In the second battle, however, the former Wildcat players led by Rawson "Bones" Childs and Jack Thomas displayed basketball equal to that of the college quintet, and were only outplayed in the closing minutes of the game. The final score read Weber 49, Alumni 45. Hancey, Jenson, Misaka, Bell and Johnston were the big cogs for the Wildcat machine.

With the addition of a few more entrants in the lighter weight divisions, Coach Bob Davis is assured of a well rounded and formidable team for the season. John Nakano, weighing 118 pounds, and William Torabayashi, 128 pounds, are the only lettermen back this year. To obtain their letters they had to attend practice regularly and win at least two of their bouts. Eric Anderson, 135 pounds; Albert Lolotai and Kendall Sedgiosck, heavies; Vincent Moore and Egidio Fontana, 155 pounds; Jack Faulkner, 165 pounds; Wayne Crouch, 145 pounds, and Paul Larson and Ken Grantham, 175 pounds, are others who are attending practice regularly. These wrestlers will compete against Mesa junior college, the University of Utah, and the Utah State Agricultural college reserves. The main event of the season the conference meet to be held at Salt Lake City late in March. Coach Davis invites anyone who wishes to participate to attend practice daily at 3 p. m. Tracy Relives Weber's Past Humor, Wisdom (Continued from Page One) dramatic contests. Using as an example two foregoing copies of the Acorn, he urged students to preserve present volumes for the pleasant memories to be found in them in days to come. He expressed the hope that Weber would continue to grow and to safely pass the dark days in the immediate future. President Dixon supplemented Mr. Tracy's words and gave to the students a message of the future. Instrumental and vocal numbers were presented by the music department. In keeping with the theme the entire audience expressed its patriotism by singing "America the Beautiful." Fountain Pen Headquarters Steve's Office Supply Faculty Team Fails In Casaba Test By IVAN WATTS Weber faculty's basketball team, after being pushed back and forth in Industrial league standings, finally decided they needed a rest, and retired safely and securely in fourth place at the end of the first half of the league's schedule. Disillusioned collegians marked down 50 per cent in the score book, as there was a possibility of the faculty finishing in eighth position, and wearily searched their brains for some way to install a little pep and ability to stand up under fire in their disappointing superiors. Someone suggested that the pres ent members be replaced by more experienced instructors, but his idea was stranded by the perplexing question, "Who?" and all ideas of reforming the team were temporarily forgotten. Collegian's Solution Some time later, a brilliant student, even though his misguided instructors had placed a complete row of C's on his report card, suggested another solution. He declared that actual illustration of how to do a thing greatly increases the speed at which the learner can master the subject and that the team members would profit by an illustration of how to play basketball. This was accepted as reasonable by the majority of students. To Cooperate Therefore, all faculty team members are requested to observe Mr. Orlo Childs in the next game. By some mysterious phenomena, Mr. Childs led all scorers in the league. Although the playing style of Collet, Sparks, Losee, Asay, Riley and Nilsson is greatly appreciated, the collegians feel that their scoring ability will increase if they observe him carefully, or even if they develop a longer reach. Having solved the problem of how to develop an invincible faculty team, Weber has regained confidence in its distinguished basketeers and eagerly awaits the beginning of the second half competition on January 15. Budget Cuts Continue On Most 'Fronts' (Continued rrom Page One) unfinished business are in the air, such as the apportionment of the 10 per cent cut given the three publications. That is, how much should each be cut individually? Should the cut be an even 10 per cent, or otherwise? Will Demur Mr. C. M. Nilsson, adviser of Signpost, said that he would 'demur" if undue advantage were taken of that publication's willingness to cooperate. Mr. Charles Espy on the other hand has asserted that in the very nature of things the yearbook cannot be cut. This is Mr. Espy's first year as yearbook adviser. Scribulus has its difficulties also, for paper has been ordered for three issues. Mr. Ray West, adviser to the magazine, pointed out too that if there is to be a cut at all it had just as well be one complete issue. This reduction would amount to more than 10 per cent. The board of control passed a motion that Scribulus should hereafter be sold for 10 cents a copy. Still another item hanging In midair is the varsity play, annual dramatic production done by the students "on their own." The board pased a motion endorsing the varsity play if it could pay its own expenses. A study of this possibility is being made.

Men of Weber college, alumni and present students are helping to avenge the tragedy at Pearl Harbor by serving in the armed forces. Letters, cards, and gifts to men in the service will help in national defense morale building. Mrs. Clarisse Hall, dean of women, when asked what she thought of girls corresponding with fellows they know in the service, gave this comment: "Girls can give encouragement and happiness to the men in the service through correspondence with them."

WEBER vs. MESA Saturday January 17 8 p. m. WEBER GYM Marian Teachers Risk Lead In Intramurals Vikings won the first water baseball game scheduled under the intramural program by default from the faculty last Thursday. Although they were leading in points earned during the year with a total of 497, not one faculty member showed up to face their opponents. This eliminated them from further competition in this sport and cut down their lead over the other teams. Bracket Winners Sigma Delta Pi, victors over Skulls by default last Tuesday. earned a game with the Vikings on January 22. The winner of this match will meet the survivor of the lower bracket composed of Ex celsior, Alpha Rho Omega, Phoenix, and Frenisti for the championship on January 29. The rules for water baseball are similar to those observed in base ball. The team is composed of nine men: a pitcher, catcher, first baseman, second baseman, and five fielders. There are two bases. The ball is pitched overhead and the runner or base must be touched for the out. The touch must be made with the ball and a fly ball caught is an out. The players can not interfere with the runner and three innings complete a game. Following the faculty in order of points are: Sigma Delta Pi with 319. Excelsior and Vikings with 244 each, and Phoenix with 231 Intramural competition will con tinue through the year, however and the struggle for top honors may result in the triumph of any of the participating teams. Dormitory Boys Organize Casaba Squad Red Onions, the dormitory boys1 basketball squad, were defeated, 27 to 23, in a close game with the Women Haters, another newly or ganized team, recently. The Women Haters, composed of Nelson Moku, Lyle Scott, George Johnson and Ralph Hunt, for wards, and Albert Lolotai and Bill Williams, guards, gained a lead of 9 to 5 in the first quarter and, al though they were threatened again and again, maintained their lead throughout the game. Red Onions teammates Mr. Bert Asay and Cliff Mickleson, centers Fay Jacobson and Paul Larson guards, and Eric Anderson, Ken Granthem and Kenneth Snow, for wards promise to avenge this de feat in their next game.

Weber, led by newly elected co-captains, Jay Hancey and Bob Bell, is represented players. Jay Hancey, co-captain, towering around six feet three inches in height, plays center or forward. Jay is a potential scoring threat to rivals, specializing ;'n a one-handed push shot from tne corner. Jay gained his early experience at Ogden high, where he led them to a state championship. Bob Bell, co-captain, stands around six feet, one inch in height. Bob plays center or guard. Bob specializes in shots from far out where he excels. He is a smooth player and is the only one on the squad that can hold a ball in both hands. All-State Max Jensen is a freshman from Ogden high. Max is a regular forward for Weber's team. He gained all-state recognition while at Og den high. Max is dangerous under the basket where, amid a mixup of players, Max emerges with the ball and usually' a basket. Gene Green is one of Weber's better known athletes, being an all-around performer. Gene plays guard or center, directing the team along with Bob or Ike on the guard line. His passing, both on the gridiron and the basketball court, is very good. Fighter Blair Johnston hails from Hooper where he resides with his family. His early experience was gained while playing for Weber high. He is a sophomore and plays good Dan while in there for the Reed Swen-son machine. Although "Ike" does not lead the scorers, he is m the fight from, start to finish. He is noted for his smooth working floor play. Wat Misaka is the sparkplug of the team and is not handicapped by his small stature. Wat plays forward and his shooting from near the foul line is excellent. Well known by the students, Wat is an "A" student. Norman Fox hails from Poca-tello, Idaho, and Ogden high, where he starred as a guard for the Orange Streaks. Norman is a freshman and has shown plenty of class so far. His ability to control the backboard is a deciding factor for Norman. Nelson Moku hails from Hawaii where he learned to play at an early age. He is a forward and has shown the coordination necessary for basketball. Being very elusive, Nelson breaks away for many setups. From Middle West Willie Thomas comes to us as a gift from Kansas. Willie plays center and has the ability to out-jump anybody on the team. He has shown that his play will aid the team materially during its drive for the pennant. Don Andrews is an elongated player who comes from Logan where he played ball. Don's height is a big factor in the playing success he has enjoyed. He should develop into a standout next year. Junior "Goldie" Crase comes to Weber from Ogden high. Junior plays forward or guard as the coach sees fit, and is calm under mi J . 7, VV 'V 1 HERE'S the answer to FOR. TUNE'S popularity!

Worthy Noel Neilson, small diminutive forward from Cyprus, is good at bombarding the hoop. Noel is on the traveling squad and has shown his worth in the first two games. Louis Slagowski, a newcomer to Weber college basketball, has shown promise of developing into a good player. Louis plays forward and helps to drive the other players on with his playing. Ed Rose and Bob Rees, guapis, and Bill Bacon and Reed Page, forwards, complete the list of squad members and add to Weber's chances of winning the title in 1942. Ski Enthusiasts Plan for Promising Year Plans for intramural and Inter- school ski competition are being formulated by Weber's growing ski club. Miss Ida Stewart, club advisor, predicts a successful season as soon as the skiers become better or organized. Although John Piers is the only club member who entered the meet at Gunnison last year, many good skiers are participating in regular practice held every Friday afternoon.The outstanding mee,t of the year will be the intermountain junior sports tournament to be held later in the year and club members are desirous of capturing tbeir share of the awards. Plans are in progress to hold a short meeting promptly after Friday's assembly to further plans for club activities. All those interested are urged to attend. Men From Spokane Study At Weber Dr. Robert Clarke issued information today concerning the transfer of a number of young men from Spokane, Washington, to Weber college. The boys are participating in the mechanics learner program, for Which they receive $75 pay per month while studying this defense trade. Lack of facilities in Spokane has forced the government to transfer them to Ogden. Upon completion of their training they will be employed in Spokane. Mapleway jm Alleys mM Are JJ the IS?
