Mi! i MUSIC CO. limn mitmmmmmmmmtmmm Broncos Invade Wildcat Lair For Grid Opener In the first inter-scholastic competition of the 1946 campaign, the Weber Wild Cats clash with their traditional rivals, the Broncs of Branch Agricultural college. The B. A. C. squad of this season is as yet untried. The Broncos have more weight and man power than ever before, but that is the rule rather than the exception in most schools this season. The squad has few Iettermen of last season, but has the usual sprinkling of prewar college and high school grid-ders who have seen pigskin play during their stay in the armed forces. Some colorful boys to turn up at B. A. C. are: Bob "Earthquake" MeDaly of Salt Lake City tackle former West higher and ex-marine big (220, 6 feet 3 inches) a political Science major. Ray "Sable" Sabin of Fresno, Calif smooth, fleet, shifty, back-trigger arm. P. E. major. Ex-AAF. Dan Rosequist of Marysvale, Utah big, bruising tackle letter-man of 1941 squad. Ex-infantryman Agriculture major. Ken "The Arm" Porter tough, hard and fast guard Delta high ex-AAF gunner, spent time in Jugoslavia with Chetnicks -a Agriculture major. Bob "Windy" Lunt big, fast, hard blocking quarterback Cedar City, vet of many landings with coast guard in south Pacific Agrir culture major. Phil Mirabelli All-Nevada halfback and capain of 1945 team voted "most valuable high school griddcr" in Sagebrush state last fall. Frank Haywood, propped at Moab aggressive, defense strategist at center History major. Wid Bastian hard hitting, pile driver fullback of Siguar, Utah-infantryman in North Africa and Italian campaign Agriculture major.Probable starters of the Broncos will be: Haywood, center: Stevens and Porter, guards; Blair and Daly, tackles; Parks and Walsh, ends: Jamison or Lunt, quarterback; Sabin and Middleton, halfbacks; and Bastian, fullback.

An orchestra will be provided to furnish the music. Come as you are, fashionable item of dress not essential. Come stag, come in couples, by all means come. Show the team you are behind them at this get-acquainted social event. The Four Horsemen By Theodore Klatt Four Horsemen rode into Laredo, Enroute to a big Pay day spree. There was Happy, and Bullhead Irish, Don Miguel Fernendez, and me. Says Happy, "I'm dry as a camel." Says Irish, "I'm drawing three cards." Don Miguel sang Le Paloma, But I looked quite stern at my pards. Says I, "All this hellin' and drinkin', It won't get you nowhere but broke, So lay off this folly and gamblin'," Right sober and earnest I spoke. We'll play us a nice two bit limit, We'll buy us a couple of drinks, We'll give all the girlies our blessing And ride back with money that clinks. WeUl have us a large handsome evening, But not throw our money too free. Happy and Irish said, "Sartin," Don Miguel Fernandez said, "Si." Four headaches rode out of Laredo, Four punchers were broke from a spree. There was Happy and Bullheaded Irish, Don Miguel Fernandez . . . and me. FELLOWS! COME HERE FOR 9 Sporting Goods 0 Hunting Supplies Billiards Pool 0 Magazines The Mecca 338 - 25th Street Milt Mecham Head Coach of Football Milt Mecham, head football coach, was all-state quarterback as he captained the 1934 Box Elder high school football team, and he also starred in basketball and track. At the University of Utah he was also a football star for three years of varsity play. Following his graduation from the U in 1938 with a B. S. degree, Mecham helped out on the Ute coaching staff as freshman mentor for two years, then came to Weber as football assistant and wrestling coach. Interrupting his coaching career, Mecham entered the field artillery of the Seventh infantry division and saw service on Attu, Kwajelein, Leyte, and Okinawa. In 1945 he was discharged as a mjaor and after assisting Ike Armstrong at the U again transferred to Ogden high for the remainder of the school year. In June of 1946 the likeable mentor again joined the Wildcats as assistant to Bob Davis on the football staff and head track coach. When Davis took a position as backfield coach and track mentor at Denver university, Mecham was upped to his present status of head man in the grid sport by the school officials. Mrs. Mecham, the former Mar-jorie White of Perry, Utah, and their three children live with him in Ogden. Ex-Weber Star, Tom Lawson, Coaches Centers Coach Tom Lawson was born at Bountiful, Utah, 1920. He attended Davis high school where he was starred on the fottball, boxing and track teams. Following his graduation from Davis in 1938 he attended Weber college and again set an enviable record on the Wildcat football and wrestling teams. During the war Mr. Lawson was employed by Uncle Sam as a doughboy, and he fought his way to Tokio with the U. S. infantry. Now back from war Mr. Lawson, with his wife, and son Kim supervise the boys' domi-tory.Befuddled By Muddle Walking through the halls of good old Weber C. (Well, you can almost walk) there's really lots to catch the roving eye. Men! Men! ! Men! ! ! But who are we to complain?Oh, for the life of a football player! It must be very gay to come in from practice and sprawl leisurely on your face to watch the girls stroll (or rush) by! Is that one of the rewards that come from living right ? Expressions too, are interesting bewildered individuals, (we should talk!) eager characters, happy guys, and sad sacks all mangling in the halls. One relieved soul was hopping gaily on one foot because he'd just discovered his locker (number C500 and something) wasn't on the roof of the Central building after all. We are told to tell a joke so here goes Joke: When he hit her dressing table with an ax, it was an awful blow to her vanity. (Eds. note. If you don't get the proceeding, drop around to the Signpost office and meet the person who wrote this face to face then you can really have a good laught!) Back the Team!

Wellman comes to Weber as assistant football coach. With a great gridiron record behind him he is expected to give the Wildcats a boost by being a triple-threat man who excells in basketball, football, and baseball, and expects to continue his carer in sports next spring in pro-baseball. Local baseball fans will remember him as shortstop for the Ogden Reds. Guy was discharged a captain in the army who piloted his first infantry division basketball team to the all-European championship and a free ticket to Madison Squar garden but through lack of transportation these plans were shelved. At Indiana "U" the coach was awarded the Gimbel trophy for outstanding scholastic ability. Guy L.

Booming of punted pigskins. hoarse barking of the signal caller, coaches' shouted instructions, and the "football music" of padded bodies in impact, is heard again at Weber college. The 1946 Wildcats open their nine game schedule under the lights of Ogden stadium Sept. 27, opposing the battling Broncos or Branch Agricultural college, then play four more home games, including the home-coming game with the powerful Pasadena junior college eleven Oct. 11, and climax the slate with a flying trip to Honolulu to reopen the old fued with the McKinley high school Alumni, Nov. 30. Ogden city is squarely behind the college athletic setup this year, with the civic and fraternal organizations of the community launching a ticket sales campaign aiming at selling 2,000 season tickets for the '46 grid campaign. Presidents of the various civic clubs are acting as captains of teams made up of college students planning to canvas the business section to enlist 100 per cent support of the businessmen in the booster program.Newspapers and the chamber of commerce are also behind the ticket sales campaign. The program was launched recently at a Rotary club meeting at which members of the Weber college coaching staff, Don Barney, chairman of the Rotary sports committee, E. J. Fjeldsted, secretary of the chamber of commerce, and Leonard G. Diehl of The OgdenStandard-Examiner explained and pointed out the need for the expanded program. Five home games are on the schedule for Milton C. Mecham, new head coach, and his charges. Sensing the need for an expanded schedule and better competition, Weber has left the old Intermoun-tain junior college conference to set out on a free-lance schedule which includes most of the better jaycee teams in the west. The complete 1946 schedule follows:Sept. 27 Branch A. C. at Ogden. Oct. 4 Boise junior college at Ogden. Oct. 11 Pasadena junior college at Ogden (Home-coming). Oct. 26 University of Idaho, Southern branch at Pocatello. Nov. 2 Gila college at Ogden. Nov. 9 Mesa college at Grand Junction, Colo. Nov. 16 Modesto junior college at Ogden. Nov. 22 Fullerton junior college at Fullerton, California. Nov. 30 McKinley high school Alums at Honolulu, Hawaii. Following the unexpected resignation of Head Football Coach Bob Davis to accept a coaching job at Denver university, Davis' assistant, Milton C. Mecham was appointed to head the first postwar crop of gridders, and named to assist him was a capable staff including Guy L. Wellman, former Indiana university athletic great who came to the Junction city to coach for the Ogden Reds in the Pioneer league and stayed to coach at Weber college; Tom Lawson and Rawson Child, a pair of former Wildcat grid greats themselves, and of course Athletic Director Reed K. Swenson. The coaches found plenty to work with to mold a championship calibre team. At ends Bob Putman, Wayne Hansen, Harry Soteras, Ernie Kennedy, Gary Gourley, George Farley and Virgil Hosier are battling for starting berths. The list of tackles is highlighted by the great beef of such performers as Merrill Crosbie, Kendall Sedgwick, Fred Anderson, Mark Nisbet, and Lavell Hancock. DeWayne (Porky) Randall, Clare Christensen, Fred Reberg, Dave Mason, Wayne Cashmore, and Don Nielson are the leading contenders at guards, and they carry plenty of weight and ability. Darrell Weller, Dick Wilde, Walter Sorensen, and Glen Tabor bring a lot of football stuff to the race for the pivot post. In the backfield Glen Higginson, Russ Thome and Dick Swann are heady signal callers; Odell Anderson, LaMar McBride, Joe Kenny and Ralph Eskelson are classy at the wingbcak post; Dick Williams, Paul Poulton, Farrell Purcell, and Owen Koch give speed and ability to the tailback spot, and Harry Burchell, Lloyd Thompson and Gene Davis are powerful performers at full. |
