Show Pag Four THE SIGNPOST Thursday, February 15, 1940. Wildcats to In Rose Bow During 1940 Grid Season A vindictive pack of Pasadena Buldogs wil have their teeth sharpened next fall in preparation for the scheduled game with the Weber Wildcats. The grid contest will be held in the Rose Bowl in Pasadena November 29th of this year. that the Californians will have to get even with the Utahns for the stinging defeat that they were handed last fall when they invaded the junction city stronghold thus breaking their eighteen game winning streak. Played In Rose Bowl The game will be played in the Rose Bowl and should draw at least 25,000 fans. This number is but one-fourth of the stadium's capacity. The P- J- C. grid team draws an average crowd of 22,000 to its games and the Weber affair should not be an uninteresting affair for the jaysee fans of the southland. The ga mewill be played at night and the day after Thanksgiving. These factors should aid in drawing a larger than average crowd. Are Largest Schools When the two teams meet, it will be the meeting of teams from the two largest junior colleges in their respective areas- Weber college with an annual enrollment of about 1200 is the largest junior college in the Rocky mountain area. Pasadena junior college is not only the largest Pacific coast jaysee but is also the world's largest junior college. The crown city school boasts an annual enrollment of over 7800 students. This figure is larger than the enrollment figures of most of the larger state universities.Other Games The Weber 1940 football schedule will be one of the finest if not the finest in the local school's history. Coach Bob Davis has arranged home games with Gila junior college of Thatcher, Arizona; Riverside J. C. of Riverside, California, and University of Idaho Southern branch of Pocatello. In addition to these home games the two stronger competing teams from our own conference will be on the schedule. Both Mesa and Albion will play on the local field. Besides Pasadena, the Weberies will play away from home the Western State Teachers at Guni-son, Colorado. The Coloradans eked out a 9-7 decision over the Wildcats last fall by a sensational last minute touchdown. In addition, two other games will be played away from home. Westminster and U. S. A. C, southern branch in all probability will be hosts to the Weber boys in these affairs. Transparent salmon are being shipped from the Far East for cultivation in Russia.

The Weber contingent under the direction of Miss Ida Stewart, met the more experienced fencers from the University of Utah, Friday, February 9. The men's team from Weber was defeated by a score of 7-2, while the women's team lost by an 8-1 count. The contest was held in the Central gym. Future matches are being arranged with Utah State and a return match with Utah. Negotiations are under way for matches with Idaho schools. Members of the team are: Cook, Green, Fronk, and Mclntyre of the men's division. The women's team includes Tippets, Manning, Dickens and Jones. Finn Relief Play Tests Guild (Continued from Page 1) Smiley tried hard and he does have ability but hardly anyone really felt that he was Tecumseh left behind after the wars. And Stanley Mansfield did not go far. Mansfield was cast as the youthful Dutch hero of the piece. A plain honest fellow; a sterling role. Mansfield was easy to look at, and his voice was audible and musical although slightly affected. But in such a role, this interpretation took on the look of pewter, because he is by nature and appearance, even by the quality of his voice, designed to enact more sophisticated parts. Learned A Thing And even the more experienced players from the city learned a thing or two aibout their powers and their imitations. Mrs. Sydney Cole Bader did well, as usual. Her voice may at times have been lost in the remoteness of the balcony, but she was attractive and convincing in the difficult role of the nostalgic Dutch maid. Consequently from the point of view that a director should draw out the individual styles of his regimen allowing no expression save his own, "High Tor" continues the attractive precedent set by "The Star Wagon," Weber college play of the fall quarter. Phoenix Bowlers Defeat Skull Accepting a bowling challenge from the Skulls club, Phoenix defeated them in two games by a margin of 10 points. This contest was held at the Ogden Bowling Center, February 9, 1940 at 2:00. Those competing were as follows: Phoenix Curtis, B. Pell, Foulger, Ekins and Mann; Skulls Ketehie, Yates, Clayton, Darling and Baumunk. Phoenix is open for a challenge with any other club. Vikings Elect Three Commitfees Three new service committees were elected at the Viking club meeting Wednesday, February 8. They are.

Fads Prove Life of College Society Remember last quarter when you saw saddle shoes everywhere you turned the campus was a regular sea of brown and white buckskin. Maybe you wondered aibout it and inquired. The general response: "Oh, just another fad!" No one takes any special notice of fads, but college life would be quite empty without them. The rage for saddle shoes was about the most substantial fad ever established, lasting from '37 to its climaxing exit in '39. Weber showed special recognition to this important fad by staging a dirty saddle shoes contest. Knee-length sox haven't effected Weber much as yet. A few daring souls have ventured out in a pair, but I don't think the students are in favor of them. I know the boys aren't, and the male vote has a big influence in any locality. Fellows have had a lot of fads which are not quite as pronounced as the girls'. Their loud shirts and sox, 'bow ties and pullover sweaters are always acceptable. In ladies' fashions too, certain fads become so useful that they just can't be replaced. No average college girl could get along without a bright scarf of some kind to tie around her head when the weather is damp. Snoods are handy, at times, but not quite so adaptable to every purpose as scarves. Stiff white collars, page boy bobs, and charm bracelets all had their sway for a time; they came and went. No one knows exactly how a fad originates. Sometimes an unsuspecting co-ed is the cause. Sometimes fashion magazines give a certain article a big "build up." At any rate fads have a lot to do with making Sheaffer's Pen and Pencil Sets All Kinds of School Supplies (Willsrd Draper) Kent S. Bramwell Eugene T.

I WOMEN IN The Sports "Fencing probably began in the cave man days," Miss Ida Stewart told the assembly in the Weber college auditorium last Friday. Miss Stewart was in charge of an exhibition of fencing and she explained how the art of fencing might have started. "One cave man more than likely got mad at his neighbor and decided to pick up a club and hit him, but the neighbor didn't think this was such a good idea so he picked up a club and warded off the blow. This was probably the first parry." Miss Stewart then went on to explain how swords and saJbres came to be used and then the development of the foil Which is now used in fencing. Fencing used to be strictly a man's sport (used paramonthly in duels to the death) but as women have entered almost every other sport, fencing is no exception and in Weber college it seems that the women have the field. Only two of the male sex are taking fencing this quarter while about ten W. C. co-eds are enjoying this sport. Since fencing takes graceful, quick movements and alert thinking it is very adaptable to feminine ability. This point was demonstrated very aptly by Miss Ida Stewart, (instructor), Miss Beryl Dickens, Miss Marie Manning and Miss Norma Jones. Miss Manning and Miss Dickens gave us a sample fencing duel demonstrating the alertness and the albility of the feminine sex. Women are gaining in the sporting world. Tme JaiL (Continued from, Page 1) make news? What's he ever done?" I asked. The person at my side sneered, "What's he ever done, you ask? Don't you read Scribulus? Wait, I'll be back in a minute." In a short time he was back, carrying the last autumn Scribulus. He threw the magazine before me and opened to page twenty. I saw this written there: "I, Made Woman" By Michael Creagor "I plucked two stars from out the skies And gathered up the blue. I molded these into the eyes And then the eyebrows drew. "I gathered up the dancing waves From out the murmuring sea. I placed these in her hair as slaves For all the world to see. "I took the petals from the rose, Then crushed the juice into her cheeks. With sculptor's skill it formed a nose Above the lips with which she speaks. "Above the stars I took the art And with the Gods of old I made therein a perfect heart From out the purest gold. "Then with the best of everything And with the utmost care I made a very precious thing So fickle, so faithful, so fair." "Very interesting," I commented, "So he fears the feminine element . . . very interesting." "Ah," came a satisfied response from my unknown companion, "I see I haven't wasted my time." And life interesting. The present one seems to be sloppy Joe sweaters. Though, they've been here for some time, I think we can expect to see quite a bit of them from now on. PATRONIZE SIGNPOST ADVERTISERS I'M Telling You By DON ROCSH The Weber college 1940 football schedule will be one of the best in the local school's history. Not only are the leading intermountain jaysees going to be played but also some of the leading jaysees of the west. The outstanding away from home game will be with Pasadena junior College of Pasadena, California. It is indeed gratifying to know that Webers athletic relations are in creasing with the "big time" junior colleges. The game with Idaho Southern is also good news to this writer. At last Weber and the southern branch have got next to themselves and are beginning to ncrease their athletic relations with each other. Coach Bob Davis is to be congratulated upon his fine piece of work in arranging the 1940 football schedule. Real Competition The sports prognogsticators sure hit it right in their pickings for the 1940 jaysee basketball race. Weher, Mesa, and Snow were picked to be the teams that would make the playoff. Well they did. Weber should have some real competition from now on in league playing. Both Mesa and Snow have good cage teams. The Wildcats are due for plenty of trouble when they meet with these teams. Competition before now has been comparitiverly easy for the Weber-ites.It appears that fencing will make a go of it at Weber after all. Sad is the fact that the fencing team was so soundly trounced by the "U" last weekend. However, it musn't be forgotten that Utah is a four-year school while Weber is just a junior college. Anyway, a match has been scheduled with the Aggies ana a return match with the Utes. Better luck next time fencers! Tid Bits Utah and Utah State renew their rivalry this weekend in the Ute's fieldhouse. The Aggies will be favored to win but I'm picking tne utes. They will be too good for the States in their own stronghold. . . The University of Califor nia was rather sarcastic about their recent cage loss to the Utah Aggies. You should read what they had to say about it last week in Student Life, U. S. A. C student paper. . . . Paul Ohristman, all-American Missouri grid player, is one of the standout players in the intramural league at Mizou this year. He is on the Kappa Sigma fraternity team. . . . Harland Packham, former Excelsiorite, is a first stringer on the S. A. E. intramural cage team at Utah State. That is all readers, (if I have any.) See you next issue. (Continued from Page 1) 4.

Upsets have occurred, games have gone into extra periods, and defaults still seem to reign. Fellows, this is your league! Intramural basketball is for your enjoyment! Any orgenization either a social, work or unaffiliated should be able to get five players on the floor and be ready to play at game time. Let's get behind Darrell Deis and deminish these defaults and forfeits and put Intramural basketball on the map. Upsets The most surprising upset of the week was the fact that the faculty won a game. They defeated the Engineers 32-30 in an "A" league encounter. Dave Trevithick of the faculty put the game on ice, when he tossed in two free throws with out a "flutter." Another upset occurred when the Lettermen defeated the strong Skull five in another A league tussle. This event had to be de cided by an extra period. Glen Freeman of the Lettermen took the scoring honors and the blunt of the attack with twelve points Although defeated, the Skulls along with E x c e 1 s io r has the strongest team in the "A league When these two teams clash, the result will be a close one. Both teams have lost only one encounter. Excelsior lost by default. In the "B" league the Ghosts are invincible. This club always wins by a wide margin despite the keen competition among the other teams of this division. Vandals Defeat The Vandals came through beau tifully in the last period to defeat the Lettermens B " team 17 to 18. This even started slow but ended in a mad scramble way of its own In the "A" league the Faculty provided the scoring thrills by defeating T. I.

GIFT CARD This Ad Entitles You to a Complimentary SCALP TREATMENT AND TONIC RUB (Helen Reberg) SUPERIOR BEAUTY SCHOOL 2S84 Washington (Corner 24th) Phone 161 Tonight at ei jht o'clock in the Weber gym, the Wildcats of Weber meet Mesa of Grand Junction in an interdivisional playoff to gain the right to meet Snow college of Eph-riam for the 1940 league title. The Mavericks of Mesa blew through the easte 'n division with little trouble and are in top form for the one game series tonight. Coached by Pete Carlson, the Mavericks have rounded into a fast breaking and fast passing basketball machine, led by such capable ball-rustlers and hot-shots as Simmons, Brown and Scillicorn. This game will be the deciding factor for both teams, to see which one gets a crack at Snow college for the jaycee title. The winner of the game will enter a three game series with Snow. Each team will play a game on their own home floor and the other game will be played on a neutral floor. This series will take place Feb. 22, 23 and 24. The one game series between Mesa and Weber tonight, will pull both teams into fighting quintets because it must be won, or hopes of winning the jaycee crown will be blown to pieces. Teams Equal Simmons, Brown and Scillicorn are the men to watch from the Mesa five. The Wildcats will have a tough time holding these men in check. The Mavericks, however, will undoubtedly find their time occupied keeping down the Wildcat scoring punch, produced by Nelson, Eldon Gardner and Childs. On defense, Les Gardner and Bob Clarke are two tough men to break through, and every point tallied by the Mesa quintet will be a well earned bucket. "Les," however, has been handicapped with a sprained ankle acquired from the two game series won from the Panthers of AVbion in Idaho, last week. In case Gardner is not up to his usual form, big Bob Bell will be ready for action. Harold Little and Jay Porter are other men who fill in with a showing of ho handicap to the team.

The Wildcats have been drilling hard for this game and are pointing to topple the Mavericks. The Grand Junction men have also been, putting in their extra overtime, and are waiting for the payoff which Weber does not intend to give them when they tangle tonight.Swensonmen Ready This will be, by far, the most thrill packed casaba contest seen this year in the Wildcat lair. Due to the handicap of the one game series either time may have an off. night and their chances will be gone for the title. With Coach Reed Swenson's drilling, however, the Wildcats will carry no ragged edges into the fray.
