Show Page 4 THE SIGNPOST (Uildcat s mmii Japsee and H-ELI Titles A We au t We are happy because one of the past issues of the Signpost didn't come out as had been planned. If the column that had been written for that issue had appeared in print we would now be in hiding. We had decided that the team was due for a series of defeats and so we predicted such ill fortune. Why, even some good reasons, if there could be some good reasons, for our unreproach-able knowledge were given. Very wisely we forgot those reasons and also destroyed all evidence of them. At the rate things are happening the boys may represent the 4 5th Regiment in an intra-army basketball tournament. Or don't they grow the right type of courts in France, Italy, England, Japan, or Mexico. In such an event those in the bleachers can truthfully shout, "We want the body!" We wonder why the diplomats don't settle all their troubles by a game of football, or maybe a swimming meet. The people could use all their excess energy in shouting, "Hold that line," instead of yelling, "Down with the Jews." Then instead of giving the winners a bronze plaque they could offer them a slice of Czechoslovakia, the part with the coal mines and steel mills. Such a system would be more fun for everyone andthey could be made annual events. The, other night we gotour-selves-together and .decided to pick an all-conference basetball team. This was not a hard job, except for one position. We had our doubts in choosing" between Wil-kins and Briggs for the other guard. Our team found Clyde Morris by far the best center in the Utah-Idaho Jaysee conference; and we chanenge anyone to find better forwards than Floyd Morris and Delbert Bingham in this section of the country. Fhil Revell came in a good third. YVJ! v.'fc w; . back 10 I lie guards we saw Charles Clark, and that ended our quest. But in choosing between Max and LaMar .we had to turn to our little brother, age nine, and he decided on Max Wilkin, so that ended that. Now. some may think that our school patriotism is just showing in this selection, but we will take our team and spot any other all-conference team you wish to pick ten points and guarantee to lay them low. Fancy Fencing Foiled Fencing at Weber this year has suffered a setback. Our team has engaged in three matches with the University of Utah and one with the A. C. Out of thirty-six bouts the Weber has won seven. This is a very poor record but the team is confident that they can redeem themselves in the two or three remaining matches' left in this quarter. Tonight Weber fences the A. C. team. All those interested in the mastery of the foils are cordially invited to attend. Best Music Best Crowds Finest Ballroom WHITE CITY Stop at . . .

Several of the better wrestlers led by the veteran Jack Bingham and Ted Carrigan, won matches.

Rackham Commissioner SWENSON MACHINE MAKES FINE SHOWING IN NATIONAL A. A. U. Ladeez and gentleman, the Weber sensations, the Weber College 1938 basketball wizards have immortalized themselves upon the pages of our college history. Never before has one of our casaba teams won such fame. The Wildcat squad won the Utah-Idaho Jaysee crown, later annexed the inter-mountain A. A. U. championshp and although eliminated in the first round of competition, were stamped by critics and fans alike as "one of the best college teams ever to appear in National A. A. U. competition at Denver." After winning the Jaysee crown the team traveled to Salt Lake to appear in the state A. A. U. tournament. The first night a bye was drawn. The second night they won handily from the big unorganized Mullett-Kelfy quintet, 48-35. The third evening a close 5-point victory was squeezed out from the Logan Knit team. Then came the final round, the last night. Two bus loads of loyal Weber supporters were packed into the South High School gym. As the purple and white team ran out on the floor they were greeted by a blood tingling Wi - wri - wild Ca-ca-Cats. What support what playing. The Wildcats jumped into an overwhelming 8 point lead before the towering Gemmell club from Bingham knew that they were in the game. At the half, Weber had collected 41 points to Gemmell's 24. The second stanza found the teams playing on more even terms. Gemmell bagged 31 points while Weber was getting 32. F. Morris and Clyde Morris, co-captains, collected 4 5 points to lead the scoring, while Bingham and Revell were next in line with 10 and 9 points, respectively. Coach Swenson used his entire squad so effectively that he completely exhausted the Gemmell club by sending in refreshed teams every few minutes. A beautiful gold trophy now rests in the trophy case, a symbol" of this victory and each man on the team is the proud possessor of a gold medal. On to Denver was the cry that resounded throughout the college and city following the victory at the A. A. U. Business men dug deep into their pockets, many students gave their last quarter in a tag campaign to assist in raising the money to get the team to the National A. A. U. tournament. The Hormon Demons of Chicago who competed in the National tournament two years ago as a De Paul Unversity team, and who won 105 out of 107 games in a three year period, was the first round competition for the Weber Rackets Restrung Finest Watch and Clock Hospital in Town GEO.
