Show Pago TlSSt WOMBN IN The Sports By ELINOR CLARK Last Thursday afternoon the women of Weber' college held a swimming meet The two types of events entered in were form and speed. The events judged by form were: the elementary back stroke, in which Valois Burnett came out first; the side stroke, in which Elaine Williamson got number one place; the crawl in which Betty Mae Nelson excelled: and the breast stroke in which Betty Lou Balch received honors. In the speed event there were four competitions: the crawl, the breast stroke, and the three stroke relay, consisting of one crawl, one breast and one side stroke. Margaret Feeny of Chanodo came out first in the crawl; Betty Lou Balch of Otyokwa won first in the back stroke and Jeanne Johnson of Chanodo was victor in the backstroke. Otyokwa came out first in the three stroke relay. The swimming meet was won by Otvokwa with a score of thirty four, Chanodo coming second with twenty two and Iota Tau Kappa placing third with eighteen points. The girls who entered this swimming meet got a lot of enjoyment out of it and agree that it is a good idea to have more swimming meets for the women. Weberites Defeat Logan Swimmers The Weber tanksters defeated Logn high school at their own pool by a narrow margin. They won the last relay to put them safely ahead. In the meet with Box Elder, Weber was pressed but managed to win the relays to give them a safe lead and ultimately the meet. Granite took the measure of Weber swimmers at a meet in their own pool. The meet was very closely contested and Granite won only in the last relay by a very narrow margin. Reader's bri-jtAt Continued From Page One) side has wearily quit his post.

SCRIBULUS FEATURES NEW WRITERS (Continued from Page 1) Mr. Ira Markham in composition represent the faculty. If this reader were asked how many merits each of these writers should have, he would be in a dilemma. The fact that they have written something acceptable to a praiseworthy undergraduate magazine like Scribulus is encouraging. Their writings are for the most part on a plane. Here and there in their compositions are passages promising excellent things for the future. To reach such a goal they must work for that charm of ex pression and material excluding reader disinterest. This particular reader feels that it is better policy for beginners to write upon subjects that have actually occurred and have prac tical interest connected with them This suggestion applies mainly to articles, but has some pertinence to stories. Mr. Douglas Bement, author of "Weaving the Short Story, said at the Colorado Writ ers' conference last summer that the best amateur stories he was receiving had come out of some one's personal experience. Thus, Glen Wade's "Playing Notes and Thinking is one of the better writings. Wade, as he tells in his essay, plays in a professional orchestra. One approves also of President Rolfe Peterson s "Soup to Nuts . . ," and assumes that Peterson has often smuggled both soup and nuts into the theatre. With variations, Miss Edna Miller's plot in "Do Not Be Lonely" has been going the rounds of Salt Lake City and Ogden bridge tables. It was something worth putting down, and she did it capably. Mr. Ira Markham's piece, "It Could Happen Anywhere," also shows the value of writer knowledge.The writer realizes that he has made a suggestion open to exception, but he believes that it is worthwhile, especially for amateurs.Art and format of this issue have a strong appeal for those who like the conservative beauty of Black and white. Robert Peterson s photography and the art work reproduce well in those contrasting shades. Editor Stanley Johnson and Adviser David Trevithick deserve recognition for their work. And they are receiving it. Each week universities write In and inquire how Scribulus is done and how much it Ekins) Charlie Herte HERE AND THERE By DON ROl'SH Last Friday evening over 4000 fans saw the Utah Aggies play the Utah I'tes. The first half of the game was rather dull but the second half was anything hut that. But even if the game had not been a good one, it was worth one's time and money just to see the colorful rivalry enacted between the two schools. The rivalry between the two is indeed interesting to watch especially during athletic contests and it is only propel that the state university and state agricultural college should develop such traditional rivalry in Utah. It not only makes a good game better but also makes one (eel that colleges are worth while after all. When the administrative officers of Utah schools decided to build field houses it was indeed a wise step. It has not only increased the popularity of basketball in the state but has made our Utah schools more "big time" in nature. Rushing Don "Three Letterman" Hatch and Dee Whitesides seem to be rather popular with Big Seven coaches nowadays. Dick Romney of Utah State has shown them all sorts of hospitality. Eddie Kimball of B. Y. U. has invited them down to Provo for tea when tests are over. The U. of U. has also started rushing these boys though I don't know just to what extent. Norris Nelson has also been shown favors lately by the Aggie coach and it is rumored that Eldon Gardner may be the next Weberite to receive such kind attention. Alan Bader will probably return to the University of Maryland next year. After a successful year in freshman athletics at the College Park school one could hardly blame the boy for returning. Rumor has it that he may take some other Og- denites along with him. Intramurals Intramurals are steadily increasing in popularity around this school. As high as four men from each team have been reported to show up for a game. With even less than half the games defaulted, defaults are gradually growing fewer in number. Well, anyway, intramural Managers Darrell Deis and Ray Freeman are to be congratulated on their fine piece of work. The basketball program has been very successful this year compared to other years of our short intramural history. The chief trouble now is to get certain clubs to cooperate (a hint). Here and There That's some flare up they're having over at Boulder. They tell me the Silver and Gold, student newspaper, is taking the lead. It just goes to show you that student newspapers are of some value after all . . . Rumor has it that the Ricks grapplers are afraid of the Weber wrestlers .. . Tsk, tsk ...

Good Coach Baddey has coached and produced a high spirited and sharp shooting basketball machine this year composed of: Louis Kjar, Jack Hazen, Kay Crockett, Farrell, Stringfellow, Compton and Heyer. Crockett and Hazen now are attending Weber college and Farrell is a Weber alumnus.To Wally, Saturday night's win was a dream come true. Baddley was even doubtful of winning the first game of the series, but Saturday night showed what a coach can do with psychology and the production of a spirit in a basketball aggregation. Replace Fourth The Eighteenth warders replace the Ogden Fourth, champions of last year, to head this division. Sat urday night the Eighteenth, pitted against a tough Sixth ward crew, went into the ball game as the underdogs. No one probably, with the expection of Badley, expected the Eighteenth to even play for the championship or compete with the Sixth warders, but when the final gun sounded a true champion ship basketball quintet was crown ed. Two of Baddey's team placed on the first honor team, selected by tournament officials. They were: Louis Kjar at forward and Jack Hazen placed on the guard line. Interest in Game Wally has shown his interest in basketball by playing on the school faculty intramural team. He plays forward position and is a huge factor in the reason of the faculty's success as a fighting andnever-say-die basketball quintet. It takes a much smarter man, however, to coach a basketball team than to play on one. Wally has proven he knows his basketball by producing a championship team. The Eighteenth warders show the spirit that is prevalent into the Baddley style of basketball and some say it was this spirit that pulled the Eighteeners through tough seasonal competition to enter this contest, which only well coached and spirited teams will be able to enter the fracas. The Eighteenth ward coached by Baddley is expected to do big things in Salt Lake this year. They have proven they have the stuff and are well in shape. If they keep up the spirit they will be a tough quintet to beat. Badley Complimented Baddley should be complimented on his production of a fine team to cop the Ogden division championship this year. It shows that Wally is not only a splendid superintendent around Weber but is also a master in other lines as well. Spring Registration Ends Monday Monday, March 18, marks the end of four weeks of registration for spring quarter. Starting on February 19, the process of enrolling for spring classes has gone on at its customary pass till at the present date there remain only a few stragglers and a few new students who are having trouble finding the exact classes in which they wish to enroll. As is customary, the first two weeks were dedicated to sophomores who, according to rank and difficulties encountered in graduating, are allowed a slight advantage over the more thickly populous freshmen. With the exception of Vincent Moore, who is from Westwood, New Jersey, the enrollment of students from out of state has been slightly less than usual.

This event is being run in a smooth manner, and the unaffiliated fellows should be congratulated on their interest and sportsmanship in playing off their matches. In doubles play Byron Wood and Mark Woodland lead the pack by a wide margin They have defeated Wecker and Boyle. Coray and Mc-Entyre, Wood and Kelsior. In singles play Bob Clark has had a slide through his competition. Bob's only competition has been Grant Parry, whom he defeated quite effectively. However, the winner of the Child and Wright event should prove to be worth watching. Friday, March 15, will mark the end of the unaffiliated ping pong tournament, and all scheduled matches should be played by then. Basketball Still In Limelight Basketbal hasn't taken a back seat despite the ping pong tournament. Altfiough handicapped by the "M" Men's tournament, the two leagues have been functioning in style.

Ghosts Defeated The biggest upset of the season came when the Kaps defeated the Ghosts 21 to 20 in a "B" league encounter! Although not up to their high standard of play, the Ghosts almost emerged victorious, and the game was undecided all the way until the final sound of the gun. In the "A" league Sigma Delta Pi and the Engineers tangled in the game of the week, when Sigma Delta Pi won 27 to 28. This event took an extra period to determine the winner and the star was Tom Toyn of Sigma Delta. This chap tossed in the three winning points. Today at 3:00 p.m. in the Weber gym, the basketball championship of the "A" league will be determined. The Skulls meet Excelsior.

After gaining a 10-10 tie with Weber, the Rexburg boys seem to be a little uncertain of their ability and have continually postponed meeting Weber's team. "If they refuse to meet us on the next chosen dats they must forfeit," quoted Coach Bob Davi.s He also stated that he is confident that the Weber team could win over the Vikings now that many improvements have been made. The Wildcats will travel to Grand Junction, Colorado, next week to try to avenge their previous defeat by the Mesa college team. This match will decide the Inter-mountain Junior college conference championship. 22 50 SHOES 2305 Wash. Blvd. |
