Show J Page 4 WEBER COLLEGE SIGNPOST Wednesday, October 9, 1946 Swim Plans Physical Testing Program Makes Laid, Says Swenson Plans for the 1946-47 .swimming season at Weber college are being formulated, according to Athletic Director Reed K. Swenson. The Wildcat aqua squad will have a new coach, a newly renovated pool, and many of the top notch swimmers that sparked last year's team. Don Brennemen, an associate of Ferron Losee, coach at Weber before taking a post as graduate athletic manager at Brigham Young university last spring, will handle the paddlers this year, Swenson said. Pool Renovated The Weber pool has been repainted and dressed up over the summer, and the stoker for heating the water which has been in a bad state of repair for the past two or three years is being replaced with a new heating unit. Work on swimming will have to wait for the installation of the stoker. With such strong performers as Long John Murphy, pool record holder in the 100 yard breast stroke, Willis Wynn, Dean Painter, Elma Petty, who took numerous trophies in competition last year, back to swim for Weber again, it is expected that the new swimming team will again be a strong factor in intermountain "o competition. This group, along with Floyd 'Buzz' Champneys and James Farr, who have left Weber, dominated the Weber college open meet, the Og-den city meet, and the AAU meet at Lagoon last spring and summer. Owen Koch Breaks Arm Leading Team to Win Intramural Program To Begin Soon, Wellman Reveals The Wober College intramural athletic program will be in fuIT .swing by the end of the week according to assistant coach, Guy Wellman, who is in charge of this program. The program starts off with contests in horse-shoes, tennis, touch football, archery and golf. Later it will include contests in badminton, volley-ball, swimming, basketball, paddleball, handball, boxing, wrestling, ping pong, bowling, Softball and track events. Biggest Program Ever This program is expected to be the biggest of its type ever held on the Weber college campus, and all groups, clubs, classes or individuals, who are interested arc invited to participate, Coach Wellman asserted. The high-point man and the Musclemen of Greenling Freshmen By Winn Richards Has drinking been sanctioned on the Weber college campus? Are the freshman losing their minds? Why is it the "fresh-ies" can't put one foot in front of the other as they endeavor to pass from class to class? These are a few of the questions that have been submitted to this corner for an answer. No, the rolling down stairs, the falling in the halls, and the pile-ups on the campus didn't originate with "the beer in the basement," or insanity; but with the Physical Testing program, originated in the freshmen gym classes. All for a Smile It's perfectly natural to stand on your head or fall on your face or jump up and down until you drop. At least that's what is taught in this "glorified gymnastic program." And being staunch followers of this program these valiant young men are making the supreme sacrifice and giving their all for a smile from one of their ever-loving coaches. Now don't think that I'm bitter; but I'm not any too pretty as it is, and black eyes, a mushroomed nose and cauliflower ears don't make it any easier to get dates to attend the college social activities. Purple Heart Suggested It has been suggested to this corner that all freshmen participating in this program receive the purple heart and a special certificate of graduation showing that they have completed a course which puts army basic and navy boot training to shame. Will it make men of us? Say, those crawling mountains you have seen on the campus lately are not gorillas but "Freshies," who zealously participated in this testing program. So it isn't as bad as it could be, we still get around, a little slower perhaps, but now we've been educated on how to fall without breaking our neck, and how to roll down three flights of stairs without messing our hair. Believe me that is important in the wild and wooley world we're being initiated into. Thanks? ? ? So I feel that it is only proper that I insert here a commendation and a vote of thanks to our ever-vigilent gym instructors for the wonderful way they are preparing us to meet the pitfalls of life. No matter how hard times turn out to be, we'll always have the consolation of knowing that life isn't as hard as it used to be at old Weber college when we were taking our physical education tests. Weber Trips Branch AC, 20-0 high-point team will receive trophies for their achievement. The position of student director as yet is unfilled, but by the end of the week someone will be chosen to fill this vacancy and help Coach Wellman with the organization and supervision of this mammothprogram. Cotton BEDFORD CORDS Pleats Zippers Washable Long Wearing Beige Color jam OWEN KOCH Although winning a clean cut victory over Branch Agricultural college in the first game of the year, Weber suffered a definite loss when Owen Koch, a freshman who showed great promise, suffered a broken arm early in the third period of play. During the first half Koch broke loose for several long runs and scored two touchdowns and an extra point. He is on the in jured list for the remainder of the season. Owen was graduated from Ogden high school in 1944. He was a standout performer for the Tiger football team in two seasons. BRAIN TEASERS (Continued from page Two) white. He then blindfolded each of them and placed a hat on each of their heads. He took the blindfold from the eyes of the first so that he could see the color of each of the other two men's hats (not his own or the color of the other two hats which were not being used). He asked No. 1 if he could tell what color he had on his own head. No. 1 could not. (And remember throughout that they are all smart men). The blindfold was removed from the eyes of No. 2, and he was asked if he could figure out what color he had on. He looked at the other two hats and said he could not. The king approached the third man but before he could take off his blindfold, No. 3 said, "Never mind, I know what color hat I have on." Now the question is what color hat did he have on and most important of all, how did he know? Give his line of reasoning. It can be worked by cold logic, try it. If any student wants to contribute to this column or make any criticism either for or against, it would be welcomed by the writer.

Boise Broncos Hold Wildcats to 0-0 Tie With Goal Line Stand After opening their 1946 football season with an impressive 20-0 victory over Branch Agricultural college, the Weber Wildcats were battled to a scoreless tie by the Broncos of Boise junior college in their second encounter. Weber was on the Boise onc-vard line in the last quarter of the game Oct. 4, but couldn't push over the winning score and had to be content with a deadlock with the invading Idahoans. Boise's only serious threat came when Porritt, Bronco guard, recovered a fumble on the Wildcat 19-yard line. The Broncs got six vards on the first play but there the drive fizzled. Koch Leads Taem to Win Diminutive Owen Koch ran almost at will through and around the BAC team in the opener Sept. 27, and scored two touchdowns and an extra point before he was injured and taken from the game. With Thompson, Brlmhall, Randall, and Crosbie playing top ball, the Wildcats went on to win, 20-0. James Valentine led the drive that carried the Purple and White to the Boise one-yard stripe. The lefthalf back from the Hoosler state reeled off three successive first downs and with Odell Anderson and Clarke Brlmhall, carried the ball fro mmidficld almost to pay dirt. Williams Back in Suit Co-Captain Dick Williams, playing his first game after recovering from a knee injury, Lloyd Thompson, Co-Captain DeWayne Randall, and Merrill Crosbie carried the brunt of the Wildcat attack. Weber missed another good chance to score when Valentine's pass to Wayne Hansen on the Boise five-yard line bounced out of the former Ogden Tiger wlngman's arms to fall incomplete. MERRILL CROSBIE Husky Merrill Crosbie was a football star and captain of the wrestling team at Ogden high school. Receiving his diploma in 1941, he went to Utah State and earned his letter in freshman football and in one year of varsity play before en tering the army to serve in the ETO. Receiving his discharge in March of this year, Cros came to Weber to become a tower of strength at tackle for the Wildcats. He is five feet, ten inches tall and weighs 210 pounds. LLOYD THOMPSON months in a german prisoner of war camp He attended Weber in the winter and spring quarters last year and came back again this year to help out the grid team with his punting, line bucking, and all around sparkling play.

BANK SMOKERY 2513 Washington Blvd. , By Jolly Roger It looks like a great year for sports at Weber college with the backing and previously unparalled interest being displayed by the townspeople in the football team, a team that has proved itself a top-notcher, a first rate coaching staff, and all of the other factors that are present. Only a few things are lacking, one of the most outstanding being a decent place to play the games. The team doesn't even practice at Ogden stadium because it is so plowed up into sand traps by rodeo activities, but the games must be played there because it is the only place that has lights, and even that is stretching the point. Lighting Bad The University of Utah's new lighting system is being widely acclaimed as making the field as plain as if it were lit by the midday sun, but at Ogden stadium the moon might be a better comparison. It is difficult for spectators, and probably for players too, even to follow the ball. Ogden should have a stadium for rodeos and another for football, because the cut up turfs and traps, and obscure lighting are good only for sleeper plays, not for the type of good football the Wildcats will play. Another need is a little more emphasis on school spirit. With the possibilities the team displays it seems that there should be a little more support forthcoming. Grace, my favorite, coed, tells me of the football player who dashed up to the coach yelling, "Flood the field, I'm going in as a sub!" Injuries are giving the coaches a Daa time.

Coach Milt Mecham says it's a good thing some more boys are coming out because the squad was dwindling. I don't see why he doesn't find out who the rugged characters are who are dealing out all the injuries and send them a-gainst the opponents. Big Crowds at Games A crowd estimated at nearly 4000 witnessed the season opener against BAC. That figure so far surpasses any pre-war attendance there is no comparison.
