Show Page 4 THE SIGNPOST Frank Francis Plays Host To Journalism Class Mr Frank Francis of the Standard lOxaiiiincr was a gracious host to the journalism class la3t week. He directed them through the plant and explained the machinery minutely. His affability provided several informative interviews with technicians and reporters around the plant and with other notables that dropped in. Mr. W. E. Traughber, connected with the Salt Lake Tribune for eighteen years, declared that his experience in the newspaper racket made him believe that it is a mire that yields nothing but hard work and very little, if any, remuneration. He felt, further, that three yeai'3' work in the field would yield a highly profitable knowledge of human nature and the business world but that more would merely make the writer a captive. Mr. Francis, on the other hand, was optimistic about the future open to students of journalism, both men and women, provided they practice until they are at least slightly above the usual run of writers. Old-Time Basketball Captivates Audience Thrills, spills, rough stuff, pile-ups, old-time togs and old time rules all were present in an unusual preliminary basketball game Monday night. The two teams of nine men each, made up of Weber students attired in basketball togs of 1892, spared no effort in playing up to, or down to, the rules of that by-gone day. Long-sleeved jerseys,knee-padded trunks, long, striped wool socks, together with old derby hats and little black mustaches, made up a colorful aggregation. Glen Miller's team finally won, after the game had progressed into an overtime period to break the deadlock at four-all to which the teams had battled whentime-keepers, scorers, and umpire Losee, sounded the whistle. Bert Anderson captained the other squad. Coach Davis, all but unrecognizable in a derby jammed over his ears and a curly black "something" under his nose, was the referee. He also had the privilege of using a stepladder to get the ball out of the peach basket after a goal had been made. The inimitable "Dutch" Dale-bout was the most conspicuous player of the evening. Although slightly groggy at times, and battered and bruised, he was in the midst of every play. When the referee untangled tthe maze of arms and legs resulting from a held ball, invariably Dutch was found at the bottom of the pile. Players were thrown left and right as he charged down the floor after the ball. Even the spectators took a hand and helped with the play when the ball happened to go out of bounds. Some of the unusual rules under which the game was played follow: If one makes three consecutive fouls, the other team shall automatically be awarded a goal. If a player commits two fouls, he is forced to retire until the next goal is made, when he may return to play. When the ball goes out of bounds, the player touching it first shall have the privilege of throwing it into play. Each goal shall count one point. No dribbling pivoting or running with the ball shall be allowed. The player must throw the ball from the spot where it is caught.
