Show Page 4 THE SIGNPOST Charlie fJcfJe By SAM BURTON What happens to our football heroes now that the season is over? Perhaps they'll begin an orgy of study. Who knows? This we are sure of, however: that Glen Clark will no longer read the sport page, that Don Hatch and "Boner" will be nursing bad headaches for some time (maybe they got bumped in the last game), and that Jack Thomas won't be getting to bed by twelve now that training rules no longer exist. Blood-Spattered Exhibition In intramural boxing, Excelsior did it again. Not on their merits, you understand, fancy as their fancywork is, but by default. "Mutt" Wright won a decision, but there was no little dispute as to the referee's ability. Byrne Fernelius and Glen Chris-toperson, Lettermen, and George Johnson, unaffiliated, cleaned house with defaults. Except for these concessions, Excelsior put on a blood spattered exhibition with fighters who didn't show up. It was this way : the second man must observe the rules of intramural boxing and not show up. He ain't no gentleman if he don't. Bob Preshaw was no right guy, therefore. It's sad how soapy, backbones are becoming. But Excelsior, socialites though they say they are, had the raw guts to come to the party. You notice that I use the argot of the squared circle, well, that's for literary defect. Real Boxing Team at Weber What we need is a real boxing tram at Weber. It'd make men out'n us. I've seen pansies purty as pitchers reach un and knock the stickers off thistles ugly as oil paintings. In lots of nice refined schools they got boxing teams that bring in audiences that like the sound of a belly punch and spectators that guzzle up the sight of a split nose. It means dollars in the athletic budget and black eyes and peace and quiet in the dormitories. More'n that, if there's one thing I hate to see it's a big overgrown hulking college primrose with nothing in his orchid but brains back down from a little golden-rod from across the tracks, that travels with his briefcase empty except for a strong odor undei the armpits and an excavating left. Weber Basketeers Licked Eecause Kammeyer's licked the Weber basketeers by ten points, don't get the idea that Weber won't have a championship team. The boys weren't in the best of shape. By the way, watch this Nelson boy; he looks good. Week-end Winners Winners this week-end: Wyoming over Ulah, Colorado State over B. Y. U., Aggies over Idaho, Dixie over Westminster.

CLOTHES SHOP 350 25th Street Lettermen Lead Intramurals When an intramural sports contest was first conceived, it wasn't thought that it would turn into the hard fought struggle v.'hich has ensued this year. With but one event left basketball the Lettermen are in the lead by lengths. Excelsior is running second, with the Engineers coming in for a close third. Softball, water baseball, swimming, boxing and wrestling have been run off in the usual form; but basketball will be handled in two leagues. Each club will enter two teams, A and B. Each team will plav its own class of competition and thereby play a more evenly matched game. These games will be played in our own gym and no admission will be charged. (Continued from Page 1) Things they are thankful for: Darvi! (Tall, dark 'n' hand some) Wilcox for his 6 feet 2. You'd be surprised how people look up to him. Doc (Bugs) Anderson for bacteria. They're the cream in his coffee. In fact they're his pocketbook. Mr. Young for frogs. Frogs That there's only one Mr. Young. Ray (Pledge) Pierson for Excelsior. Being a pledge makes one feel soooooo superior. Nadine 'Gracie Allen) Madsen for apples. It's fun polishing them. Ralph (Mark Antony) Fuller for forensics.

Miles Standish speaks. "Listen, you lugs: the boss's orders is take the hell outa religion. But we can't do it in this here joint. Things is gettin' too hot for us Puritans, so we gotta blow town." "Where'll we go, Cap?" snorts John Alden, his bosom buddy. "Well, I was thinkin' about Hollywood I got a purty good Jookin' puss and I might get a screen test while I'm soap-boxin' the suckers." "Let's go to Peoria," cuts in Johnnie. "Okay, okay we'll hop the Mayposie first ting in the morn Ice Skating Rink May Open Soon Future Sonj.i Henies will be practicing this winter if W. A. A. plans are successful. Attempts are being made to have the graded field south ol the new Ogden high school flooded for a rink. At the present time Ogden lacks enough places to ice skate. If the rink is secured, then the next goal will be the erection of a floodlight to make night skating possible. An ice skating club will be formed for all girls interested whether they have skated before or not. VOLLEYBALL, Volleyball tournaments were completed Friday. Iota Tau Kappa took first place in the contest. To defeat the opposing team one club had to win two out of three games. The successful team will receive a number of points toward the traveling trophy. Also, each girl who participates will receive a point for her team. ing. Be sure to bring Priscilla." Time sails on. So do Johnnie and Miles. Scene II. The Muddle of the Ocean. The ship is in a fog. So are Johnnie and Miles. (So are we.) Scene III. Land ho! Big Cheese Massasoit greets the Mayflowers. "How," he grunts. Johnnie, gazing disgustedly at the bleak November atmosphere, mutters, "It isn't "how," it's "why." Prissy, the dope, takes out the Mayflower Compact and powders her pan. "Oh," she cries, "ain't he cute! I saw his head on a nickel once." Scene IV. Prissy's domicile. In walks John Alden (he knocked before the scene opened. "Hey, Pris," he says wistfully, "Cap Standish is a right guy and he thinks you're tops. You eot what it takes, see. He wants for you and him ta Turkey Trot down the aisle." "You mean, get hitched? Say listen, you tell that lamebrained dimwit that when I get so hard up for men that I have to marry him, I'll I'll I'll marry him. S'help me. Besides, you're not so bad. Why don't you speak for yourself, Johnnie!" Scene V. The Marriage. Preacher (to Johnnie) : I now pronounce you maimed for life! Scene VI. Johnnie is sitting on the floor with a table around his neck. He has a black eye. Big Cheese Massasoit enters. "How," he says. "My wife, you fool," yells Johnnie, his face purnle with a bottle of raspberry jam. Miles Standish comes in too. "Boy, oh boy," he chuckles, "that preacher sure said a mouthful. I'm mighty thankful she picked you instead of me." And that, friends, is the story of the first Thanksgiving.

Yet Mr. Swenson is not yet fully familiar with his talent, for practice is being conducted only two days a week and some abii-ity has not yet come in. Regular five-day practice will begin November 28. Last Year's Team Last year's players chiefly the Morris boys, Bingham and Clark, all now at the A. C. were a sensation in the history of Utah junior college ball. Swenson utilized their speed and height in under-basket formations that resulted in towering scores. Only prompt substitutions by Swenson kept the counts near the fifty mark. There were stiff games. The one loss was with Snow college, Ephraim, on a small floor and with other handicaps. But the season pyramided to a cinch j. c. championship for the Weber smoothies. The finals in the in-tei mountain commercial leagues likewise tumbled for them, though onetime university stars made up opposing strong teams. Good Men Return Good men from this record last year team are here again: Jack Thomas, guard; Sam Anderson, center; Harland Pack-ham, forward; Melvin Manfull, forward; Paul Drake, Weberite of two years ago, is back after playing with the marines in Honolulu for two years.
