Swenson Shapes Basketball Team SWENSON Wildcats Play Senior Schools That Weber should have a first class basketball team has become traditional since Mr. Swen-son's arrival. This season also shows the makings of championship material in the junior college field. B. Y. U. reserve team was defeated by the Wildcats, December 9, 47-36. U. of U. regulars defeated the Weber floormen, December 8, 47-26. The audience, however, had the feeling that if the coach had played his best material the score would have been more even on this second game. But these preseason games are played chiefly to try out all talent. Outstanding hoopsters appear at present to be Norris Nelson, Jack Thomas, Rawson Childs, Del Hays, Melvin Manfull, Jack Wecker. One faculty basketball fan with hoop experience says, however, that he feels there were no players who stood above the others except Nelson and Childs. But whatever the showing now, community, school, and state attention is bound to be centered upon Weber college during this season because of previous records. Preshaw in Golden Gloves Finals Bob Preshaw, 126 pounds, was the only Weber boxer to reach finals in the recently completed Golden Gloves. Darrell Peterson, last year sensation, made a misstep and was clipped behind the ear for a knockout during his first fight, by Royal Sessions of Davis high, 135 pounds. Cleon Williams of Malad defeated Preshaw. Williams was given the decision upon the basis of superior science. At Weber Faculty Women's faculty party last night for the kids, Walter Neville received "Bank Robbers Aweigh," and Charles Osmond was amazed by "The Rocket Boys." 19 38 1938 MEWS Have You Tried the College Inn Special 3Iade With Farr's Better Ice Cream?

First scoring was done early in the first half when a pass was completed from Naylor of Weber to Warden, who trudged 15 yards for the first six points. The conversion was good. One minute before the half ended, the Carbon boys completed a pass which netted them six points. The half ended 7-6 in favor of Weber. Neither team was able to score in the third quarter, but late in the last stanza Whitesides blocked a Carbon kick and Warden recovered on the one yard line. Whitesides plunged over for Weber's second touchdown. The attempt for conversion was blocked. The money from this game went to buy glasses for the needy students in Carbon high and grade schools.

Zundel The books of the students were dusted off and the night before exams study was begun in earnest. Fuller, the brush salesman One of the more spectacular exams was given in English 6 when the journalism class was unleashed to get a newspaper full of news in two hours. "Use the principles of good news writing and come back before the deadline," were the teacher's instructions, given with a ring in his voice which indicated no holds were barred. Inauguration of this new type of exam should lead to instead of all-wet facts bacteriology students looking for bacteria, botany students hunting for plants and students of secretarial technique using their technique. Rogerson At the end of examination period, freshmen had been introduced to practically all the trials of college life. Helen Jugler, freshman With a white handkerchief tied -just below his eyes, one hand in his bulging pocket, and his voice disguised Deyond recognition, Mr. Young came to class to review the students before their final exams. All students were impressed; not with the review only, but with the courage, the stamina, the never say-die attitude of their noble instructor. Bush Of course it was a great benefit to both parties concerned. The teachers learned horn effective their lectures had been and how readily the students had assimilated the knowledge thrust at them. Students discovered undreamed of capabilities. Though the steady stream of tests left them slightly frayed, they were grateful. But some students would have preferred a spanking. S. Johnson, freshman Ho had been ill from chicken pox for nearly three weeks and when it became apparent that he would be unable to conduct exams personally, he rounded up some "good men Friday," got hold of a telephone, burned up the wires with instructions, and as a result, Doc's pupils were still among the working class exam week.

Charlie HctAe By TED COLLIN'S Before we rub the charlle horses out of the football players, let's cork the alcohol rubbing, of course and bare our over-worked skulls and stand in reverence for the boys who did or died for the alma mater. Not only did the boys of brawn cop the conference title, but they placed four men on the all state team. "Carnegie" Clark kicked, bit, and smiled his way into an all-state backfield position. Del-bert "Amateur Gent" Nye glided gracefully into a guard position, and Captain Thomas did himself honors by plucking an all-state center position. Eugene "Boner" Johnson blundered very intentionally into a second-string end place. There you have them the four horsemen of W. C. These four boys deserve added respect. You that have already bared your skulls, now pull off your toupees and shiver with respect for these heroes of Weber college. Speaking of over - worked "beans," have you noticed Clark's lately. If the material inside was knowledge, Weber could easily boast another Einstein. Remember the words of this great prophet, "The moisture of glory doth cause the wooden skull to swell." (Original proverb by Charlie Horse.) Basketball As football seeps into the past, and we put the suits in moth balls, deflate a few egos and a couple of footballs, the Wildcats don shirts and trunks in preparation for repeating past basketball history. Coach Swenson should be able to mold a championship team out of the material that has turned out to practice. Such star substitutes of last year as Man-full, Thomas, Packham, and Anderson are back this year ready to pepper the hoops with telling shots. Did I say Packham? He will be ready as soon as he gets used to his wooden leg. It's quite hard to imagine that White City dancing is so dangerous, isn't it, Harl? Freshmen Christianson, Childs, and Peterson have swapped their football suits for the lighter basketball outfits, and if I know physics, this means that the boys should burn up the court. Del Hayes, part xf the championship material from Davis High, is with Weber and ready to show the same fight he was known for at Davis. Another candidate who will bear watching is Lew Allen, star of last year's sensational Bear River team. With these experienced players and the many other unmen-tioned but nevertheless capable players, Weber can justifiably look towards anotherall-conference team. Whether you know it or not, Weber is becoming known for the fine athletes it is producing. When we cop the basketball title, it will give us a two-year standing as conference champs, in football and basketball. We are fortunate this year, in really having a chance to appreciate our championship material, for the boys have knocked knees with teams in pre-season games from the U. and B. Y. They will meet A. C. presently. Our boys stack up well with these four-year boys. Romance has invaded this worldly column.
