Show Page 8 THE SIGNPOST Weber Downs U. A. C. Seconds In Basketball Opener WILDCAT FIVE WINS 53 TO 52 PRESEASON THRILLER A We au j)t I'ing pong under the present conditions here at Weber is an o ercrowded sport. The one tuble in the hoys' locker room is insufficient to give all the desirous students a chance to play within a reasonable lenglh of time. Even when doubles is lining played four or five other players are waiting their turn. As a general rule, the playing of singles is impossible because of the number of students who wish to participate. We believe there are other players in the college who would play if they thought there wouldn't he a long wait or fighting over turns. Another fault with l'ing Pong in the boy's gym is the age of the paddles used. Two are ot' the vintage of the summer of '36 and they certainly show that their usefulness is at an end. The other three are reconditioned, makeshift paddles, and only a bit better. Four new paddles could easily be used, and the buying of them would increase popularity of the celluloid sport. But we players are not a complaining lot, as a general thing. The installation of a new net was gratefully received. It is a decided improvement over the old, taped one. Maybe those in charge of the gym could bring another table into use as they did last year. And if they would buy four new paddles everything would be swell. As the requests of various organizations in the college no further intramural events will be held this quarter. It was felt that the closing of the quarter and its .increasing work would be too much for the players. So handball and ping pong will be held at the first of the Winter quarter. A great deal of attention was bestowed upon the last intramural events. This was as it should be .... The first varsity game, i 5.1 to 52 victory over the A. C. Reserves, brought before the general public the fact that Weber has a basketball team. And when we say a basketball team we mean just that. It is felt that the use of adjectives at this point would be useless tney could not bring about the desired effect. We can only sit and watch .... Capt. "Dutch" Jacohsen and Harold Stoker of last year's Weber varsity put in an appearance on the A. C. reserves .... The Christmas vacation gives a rest to all but the basketball players. They continue to practice. Oh, well, we need a rest. Now we are going to make ourselves obnoxious by picking another Ail-American football team. We got this idea when the Ail-American Football Board left "Whi.zer" White off their team. So this is what we think: First Team Daddio.

EVERSHARP PARKER WATERMAN Fountain Pens at STEVE'S Office Supplies 2414 Washington Blvd. The Weber Wildcats won their first pre-season basketball game from the U. S. A. C. Tuesday, December 7, by a score of 53 to 52. The Wildcats were in mid-season form. The capers of C. Morris, center, and Bus Bingham, diminutive forward, were outstanding.. The Wildcats led 3 0 to 2 3 at I the half, but the A. C. gained consistently in the waning minutes of play. The Aggies jumped to a 5 2 to 51 lead and at this point it looked as if Weber's goose was cooked. However, C. Morris pulled the game out of the fire by tipping one in just before the final whistle. Towards the end of the tussle a freak goal was made by Charlie Clark, guard, on an attempted pass to F. Morris, Weber forward. The ball sailed directly into the hoop. Jacobsen and Stoker, stars of the last year's Weber varsity, played on the Aggie squad. Scoring: Weber College G. T. F. P. F.

The classes are very enjoyable as well as instructive, for they have games of various types in addition to the regular swimming practice. Already the girls are looking forward to and planning a swimming contest, which will take place sometime during the spring quarter. Worthwhile prizes will be awarded to the winners in the different events. Exact plans have not yet been formulated. Students will be given more exact details soon. The members of the club extend an invitation to any girl who is interested in swimming to come and join in the fun. Snowball Dance Tonight John Kk-nke, Jr. Dorothy Klenke Klenke's Hardware Phone 559 350 24ih St. Grapplers Prepare For Banner Season Carrigan, Brown, Other Veterans Return Prospects are for a hum drum battle for positions on tne wrestling squad, said Coach Davis today. The call for men to report for the mat sport was issued last week; however, Davis expects more stalwarts to report for the competitive wrestling class next quarter. The periods have been arranged so that a man may participate in wrestling even though he has a class until five. Davis will meet with and instruct those men that report from three until five daily and Vern Oberhansley from Weber County high school will handle those that have labs, and are not able to arrive until after five. The wrestling budget has been doubled this year and so men reporting will have the opportunity to make more trips and be better equipped than those of last year's squad. 'We have arranged a colorful program of matches for the squad this year," Davis said. "The intramural wrestling and boxing contest next quarter will be one of the first opportunities the boys will have to show their wares. We have also scheduled matches with the Weber Alumni, the University of Utah, B. Y. U., the U. S. A. C. and Westminster. All these contests will be conducted on the home and home series basis. The first intercollegiate match will be with the U. of U. January 12," he concluded. The Wildcat squad will be at top strength if the veterans of last year's team improve as much this year as they did last and if the new prospects show plenty of fight. Towering over the varsity men of last year are Ted Carrigan and Jack Brown who fight in 155 and 165 weights, respectively. Other men back are Glen Ellis at 12 6, Truman Carver at 13 5, Dutch Dalebout at 145, who will form the nucleus of the Wildcat squad.
