Show Page 4 THE SIGNPOST November 3, 1939, Charlie HwM DUCKING SEASON BY KEITH HAWKINS Duck season is now on, especially since the sophs got their ducks at South Fork last week. However, there has been some commotion in the halls lately. It seems that the frosh just can't limit themselves to ordinary clothes. Well, anyway they arc still wearing their green lids; and if they stop wearing those, they'll have Rolfe to speak to. It seems as though everybody gets the ducks at Weber. (Figure it out.) Now that's over, let's duck out and see what we can find in the way of sports. FOOTBALL After the excellent play the fellows showed in the last two games, I think it is safe to hold up the "poiple and white" again. To all you outside readers pardon me . reader ... we did get one subscription from a very kind gentleman a'way down south. The scores on the last two games were: W. C. 600. Mesa 0; W. C. 1400, B. A. C. 6. Who can blame the Wildcats for going out and celebrating. If you don't believe they did, see Sherm French. He has a play by play description. They were having a good time anyway, and that is what we like to see. If we beat Albion tomorrow, everyone can go out and celebrate. So far Albion has not lost a conference game. Their team is tougher than nails and four times as nasty. Popular Collitrh Sport Swishing over to the Inn for a quickie or maybe a gander at the dolls and frails . . . giving Lou a line of bull about a check coming in . . . watching Betty McCune give herself the once over . . . WOW! Speaking of swishing, have you seen Stone and Cherry throw the Softball around? The last game in which they pitched proved very embarrassing to the opposite team. Final score 22-0. DEAR SPORT If any of you lads ever want some of the finer points on deer hunting, go see Jay Rohmer at the Troc. He was out three days and didn't see either kind. A fair warning. If, and whenever, you see Forsha with his bow and arrow going out for deer . . . hide. The poem, "He shot an arrow into the sky, and where it lit he knew not where," would apply here very well. Why, that guy couldn't hit a cow at five paces, no matter how small. I was going deer hunting myself, but I couldn't get any salt bullets. You see, the last time I went out hunting, :he deer I shot was so far away it spoiled before I could get to it. (Anyone doubting the truth of this story, please keep his skepticism to himself. Someone might make me out to be a liar.) If you think that's a good story see Glen Stamos. He claims he shot his deer in the leg, I quote Glen, "The only thing left to do was chase the deer down and cut tx throat." This is getting too deep for me I think I'll leave. On Touckdown Road . . . Wildcats Stop Mesa Eleven In a close, bitterly fought contest at Grand Junction, Colorado, the Weber Wildcats, led by quarterback Ray Freeman, speedy dusky boy from U. of U. last year, trounced the touted Mesa J. C. team 6 to 0. The game was fought on even terms until Freeman, substitute for Alan (Sammy Baugh) Christiansen, knifed through a hole in his own weak side and behind superb blocking scampered 68 yards for the Wildcats' score. Not satisfied with this, Freeman continued to show the Mesa boys his heels for the remainder of the game, but was unable to counter again. Weber narrowly missed adding to their lead when Glen Clarke's place kick went wild. The line, led by Jack Thomas, Del Nye, and Milt Berglund. had the Mesa backs stopped from any angle. The whole Weber eleven showed marked improvement over the let-down of the week before against Ricks. Ghosts Capture Softball Pennant The Ghosts captured first place in the intramural Softball tournament by defeating the Lettermen in an easy contest which terminated after three innings with a score of 16 to 0. The Lettermen came into tie-off position by defeating the Skulls in a close contest. "Frenisti and Vikings also made a good showing," Alan Christiansen said. The number of points alloted to each club is not yet determined because a few difficulties have arisen which must first be settled. Further competetive events will be determined by the weather. If it stays clear and warm, contests in horseshoes, golf, and tennis will be staged. If bad weather intervenes, water-baseball will be substituted as the next event. Look close! Rawson Childs thumbs ride off B. A. C. ball lugger. Collett Bemoans Lack of Deer Farrell Collett tells the hard luck hunting story of the faculty deer season. It seems that Mr. Collett did not get his deer this year. In his own words. "I went hunting four different days to four different places, and didn't even see a buck." One of his many trips was to Round valley, where he spent 23 futile hours. Lorenzo Petersen probably has the faculty record for speed in getting his deer. He got his the first day out at six a.m. W. Baddley runs a close second. His record stands at eight-twenty a.m. Dr. Dixon, Mr. Gray, and Mr. Stevenson got a buck and a doe apiece, nobody says how. Mr. Markham shot two, one for himself, and one for his wife. Mr. Nilsson got his by marriage. His father-in-law, an Ephraim dentist, shoots the flies off Bald mountain from his office window, using a telescope sight. George Hyde got one buck and onq doe, too much for his refrigerator.Bob Davis knocked one down, 250 pounds. It escaped in the dark. Ida Stewart made promises she did not keep. She said that she was going to hunt deer with her bow and arrow. Now she reports blithely, "I didn't go. Changed my mind." Students Hunt Glen Fuller went up Middle Fork and shot three deer in three days. All were bucks and were two, three, and four pointers. Rodney Dunn, "Sook" Madsen, and Chick Call went up to Logan. Failed to get deer. Eldon Gardner and Tal Wardle went up Wild mountain on Colorado border and got one deer, a seven pointer weighing 250 pounds. how to make a v pully in 6 easy lessons i spent too days Iookin' fer a peece of iron.

Miss Stewart has some fine material, with Bob Peterson and Ernest Cook, experienced fencers from last year. The class is open to both sexes. Two meets will be held with each of our opponents, the A. C, U. of U and the B. Y. U. Three weapons will be used. These are the saber, the epee, and the foil. Each weapon has its own individual use; and Miss Stewart, with the aid of a local Ogden attorney, Paul Thatcher, is trying to turn out qualified material to use each weapon. The fencers are working hard to prepare themselves for their coming matches.

She really has a handsome home. It is sort of a girls' paradise, what with all the Gables running around the house. She also has a beautiful daughter named Ginger. Ginger is quite ill-tempered, however. So much so that I often think to myself, "How is Ginger-bred?" Ginger is just another glamour girl, though; always glamouring for this and then that. She is just like her mother. When my poor uncle comes home pie-eyed, she always goes through his pockets to see if there is any dough left. If there isn't, then they fight and everything goes into action even the bread boxes. There is a sort of a frigid-aire about the place until he apologizes. Well as I was saying, I dropped in for a little. I never wear out my welcome; I'm good to the last drop. (Just like a parachute.) I was greeted with open arms and an empty larder, but they offered to share everything with me. Aunty had her pan on the stove as usual and, with a burnt-out expression on her face, asked me to join them, offering to share a table leg with me. I accepted, and we surrounded the table. What a repast. Long hours went by filled with, "Peas pass the bread if you carrot all for me," or else "I'll be eating with the angels," "Don't turnip your nose at the meat," etc. Finally, with enough arch under my belt to make me an archbishop, I begged leaf to leaf. They wouldn't hear of it but I told them, "Avacado go, I goota go." So I left, leaving poor uncle holding his well-filled gunny.

There will be an inexperienced team this year, and there will be an initiation of water polo for the first time. The schedule of meets is asfollows: January 3, Logan at Granite Weber at Bear River Box Elder Box Elder January 10, Logan at Weber Box Elder at Bear River Granite January 17, Bear River at Logan Granite at Box Elder Weber January 24, Box Elder at Logan Granite at Weber Bear River January 31, Granite at Bear River Weber at Box Elder Logan February 7, Granite at Logan Bear River at Weber Box Elder February 14, Weber at Logan Bear River at Box Elder Granite February 21, Logan at Bear River Box Elder at Granite Weber February 28, Logan at Box Elder Weber at Granite Bear River March 7, Bear River at Granite Box Elder at Weber Logan In addition to the regular schedule Weber has the Aggie meet on January 17. The University of Idaho will compete with Weber at Moscow. Although the senior A. A. U. meet will be held at Salt Lake City, the Junior A. A. U. meet will be held here at Weber. On a checkup of league records, It is found that Weber holds four out of the seven. They are as follows:40 yard dash, holder's name unavailable, time 21 seconds flat; 220 yard swim, held by Perry Leavitt time 2:40 7-10 seconds; 100 yard swim, held by Byrne Fernelius, time 1:13 seconds; 160 yard swim, held by a team composed of Row-ett, Moss, Wilcox, and Christoffer-son, time 1:26.6 seconds. Weber lost two outstanding swimmers and record holders in Byrne Fernelius and Perry Leavitt. Among the lettermen who will be back in suits this year, are: Norman Chatfield, Bill Taylor, Gale Keyes, Roy Clark, Wayne Christen-sen, Fred Robinson, and Emmett Clayton. Coach Lossee will probably fill the vacancies left last year with freshmen. He hopes to develop another winning team. RETRACTION J. Clair Whitely wishes to state that he has been severely chastized regarding a statement made in the girls' assembly. Quote: "A lot of gins naven t boy friends." quote. Dunderheads like him nr. ways walkine on their tnncnps; To restate the quotation: "The versatility of the Weber coeds astounds me.

Carl Worden, who received a severely wrenened knee m the second play of the game, will probably never play his favorite game again. At least he has been advised against any more action this year. Carl started his football career at Lewis junior high, where he played tackle and end on the first string. Retires . . . Carl Worden He was not the best gridder to leave the school but even at that time a very dependable man that always held his own. "Wimpy" moved from Lewis to Ogden High, where he put his energy into end position, leaving tackle to his mates. In his last year at high school, Carl was named on the all division team in Region One. From Ogden high he entered our own college. Here at Weber Carl went to work at the end position again, and his first year he split the playing time with Captain Charles Clarke. He received honorable mention that year. In Carl's second year with the Wildcats he again held down end position. He proved to be a stalwart player, causing his opponents many headaches with his smashing defense and his pass-snatching ability. Carl was placed on the all conference second team his second year. Carl also added the nickname "playboy" to his former "Wimpy." Because he was going into business, "Wimpy" decided to end his schooling with another quarter of football at Weber. But after playing a brilliant game with Western States and starting against Pasadena, he was stopped, possibly never to start again. Germany shipped over 10,000 tons of soap to other countries last year. multitude of the opposite sex, but one male by himself receives no special attention.

This will be an official junior college contest. It promises to be one of the toughest battles in the race for the intermountain junior college championship. Albion has not forgotten the- stinging defeat handed to them last year by the Wildcats in a hard fought battle. It was played on Weber's Homecoming Day. It was a tough game for Albion to lose. Glen Clarke kicked a field goal in the last few minutes of play to ,put the game on ice for Weber. Final score: 3-0. The Panthers have not lost a game this year. With the advantage of weight they will expect to take the Wildcats into camp. On the other hand, Weber cannot afford to lose this game. The Davismen should be in the proper frame of mind when they meet the Panther aggregation. If they lose this game, the Wildcats' chances for a junior college championship will be blasted. Chic Call, who played a brilliant game last Saturday against B. A. C. has been confined to the bench with a hip injury. Chic was taken from the game Saturday, but the seriousness of the injury was not realized until Monday practice. Tim Dyer, whom Call replaced, is also on the bench with a shoulder injury, suffered in the Mesa game at Grand Junction. Coach Davis has now placed the burden of blocking upon the shoulders of "Stub" Dixon. In the line, Del Nye is suffering a knee injury. It is hoped that he will be recovered enough by game time tomorrow. Milt Berglund is reporting to practice, favoring a bad ankle. Jack Thomas is still suffering from a bad leg injury, but the Weber regular center will not be kept out of the game. Weber loses one of its finest players in Carl Worden; the Wildcats' flashy right end is out for the year with a knee injury. Coach Davis, however, boasts a strong line of reserves, and if injuries continue to dog the trail of the Wildcat first string, the reserves will be called on to take over the regular vacancies. Every team Weber has met this year has outweighed the Wildcats. Coach Davis reports that a good, big, fast man is always better than a good, fast, but small man. Weber teams without something "giving way." The Panthers have not been defeated in league competition this year. Weber, however, expects to halt the highly touted Albion crew in their march towards the junior college championship. At the same time Weber will feel a lot better and rest a lot easier with the Panther hide in the Wildcat camp. The probable starting line-up for. Weber will include: Alan Christiansen, Q.B.; Norris Nelson, H.B.; "Stub" Dixon, H.B.; with Glen Clarke holding down the fullback position. Dixon is the only change in the backfield line-up. Me will have a tough time filling the shoes of big Tim Dyer and Chic Call. In the forward wall Rawson Childs will be at L.E. and Bob Clarke, at R.E.; Frank Berglund and Keith Petersen will get the call for the tackle positions. Jack Thomas will again hold down the pivot post. "Del" Nye and "Milt" Berglund, including injuries, will be in as guards. Ray Freeman, the fastest man in Wildcat football togs, is expected to see plenty of action. Ray is hitting his stride now and can make it tough enough to give any opposing line man a headache. This should be a most colorful contest. The Wildcats are expecting their toughest game of the grid season, but with plenty of confidence and determination the Davis-men will crack down on the Panther lair to push over a victory. W. A. A. Intramural Off to Good Start W. A. A. intramurals started last Friday with a thunder clap which turned over all the poor dead campaigns of the past and shook the sleep out of the contests scheduled for the 39-40 season.

The game was packed with an exhibition of straight football from beginning to end. Very few penal- ties and few injuries helped to speed the game up to an interesting point. The farmers, who were out to drop Weber, put up a stiff fight-from beginning to end and kept our boys fighting all the way. The B. A. C. men drove to their lone touchdown in the third period. Their final threat, a passing attack late in the fourth canto, was stopped by Tom Lawson, who snatched the ball from a farmer's hands, thus giving Weber the ball for the rest of the game. With a slight change in the' lineup, the Wildcat lair has ironed out many wrinkles in their pass de fense. This helped considerably in winning the game. The playing of Captain Jack Thomas, Rawson Childs, Frank Berglund, "Hook" Bader, and Nor-is Nelson stood out for the Weber team.
