Show THE SIGNPOST October 20, 139. Cktriie hrte By KIETH HAWKINS POME: Oh! dear old Alma-Mater mine. Mine heart, she's filled mit woe: I done mine best? You know the rest. We got beat. You're telling me! (No cracks). Gweetins, kiddies. Charles has really got a charley horse this week. Hand me a liniment and soda. I'm going out and eat a woim. What's happened to Weber's morale this week? What's happened to our pep and school spirit? What's happened to the athletic department? What's happened to the team? What's happened? What (to be continued). Is it the aftermath Of last Friday's game, or is it the aftermath of last Friday's game Well, anyway the team put up a good battle, the frosh put up a good battle, and my girl put up a good battle. Well, away from this chattering of the chopper case, (commonly referred to as the mouth) and get on to sing high praise to the team which took PJC for a ride. I think you all will agree with me when I say that it was one of the most excit ing, thrilling, precipitant, hair raising, fast moving (this could go on for hours) games ever to be played on Weber's grid field. Thanks to a certain player whose initials are Jack Thomas, we managed to pull through with a seven to six victory. The boys really went on the field with P. V. D. (pep, vim and determination). The fellows were really out to bring home the bacon. Subtract the time it took us to make the first touchdown. Add this to the last few minutes to play and what do you get? Just time enough for Christiansen to finish off that touchdown he was after. Soooo, we would have won either way. Who's moaning? Aside from sports for a moment. Here's a big broad hint to all you gold diggers that make WC your H. G. (hunting grounds). Reed Anderson was telling me that his locker mate, June W. (boy does he rate), evidently believes that the girl should show the boy a good time on a date as well as the customary vice versa. You know the boy digs up the conversation. The boy digs up the friends. The boy digs up the places to go. The boy digs up, er-pardon me, Miss Blue erase that last sentence from the books. Well, anyway, it would be a novelty wouldn't it. I quote Andy. "Stand back, boys, I saw her first." Tomorrow we play Mesa and I don't think the victory is going down south. Are you with me? Well time will tell. And so goes Charley back to his abode. Maybe it's for the best. There still are certain people who don't appreciate the finer things of life, my pome for instance. a MaJraSi Pasadena Stopped By Weber Eleven The 18 game winning streak of the nationally famous Pasadena Junior college came to a sudden end Oetober 6, as the Weber eleven defeated the invader to the doleful tune of 7 to 6. Weber's touchdown was of a freakish nature. It was scored at the beginning of the second half, when the ball, kicked by Clarke, sailed into the end zone and was recovered by Thomas, Weber's alert center. Clarke's place kick was successful. Pasadena, having failed to score in the first half, tried repeatedly to score in the last quarter, but they crossed the pay stripe but once on a 25 yard pass from Bryan to Palmer in the end zone for the score. Leicht's attempt at conversion was unsuccessful. CAT CENTER ,. ., Alan "Hook" Bader Bader Develops As Top Football Man Alan Bader, tackle for the Wildcats, has risen in spite of handicaps to athletic proficiency. His achievements started at Central junior high, Ogden, where he was the captain of football, all-city Lettermen Win Marine Gonfalon The Lettermen proved superior in marine ability when they walloped other clubs at the intramural boating meet on Pine View lake, October 13. The individual events were won as follows: Sailing: Excelsior, time, 18 min., 20 sec. Lettermen trailing. Kayak: T. I. C, time 15:52. Excelsior close second. Canoe: Lettermen; Excelsior second.Rowboat tug-o-war: Lettermen. player, and perhaps the best junior high gridder developed in the city. He also held down the regular guard post in basketball and achieved hrgh scoring honors. In baseball and track, Bader became a crack high-jumper and a baseball pitcher with plenty of deception. At Ogden high he again held down center position among the gridders and a regular guard position on the basketball team. He shared co-captain honors in football with Frank Berglund. He was also a captain in the R. O. T. C. Bader also carried on with his high-jumping, soaring to 5'10". He was graduated from high as a four-letter man, in which group he was alone. For his first year of college, he went to Maryland U. and was the best freshman center on the squad. And now we find him on our own campus. He has been shifted from center to tackle on the Wildcat eleven to strengthen up this weak spot. What Bader wiH do for the rest of the year is yet to be seen. So far he has played reliable ball. Fans can expect him to do stout service against Mesa Friday, Rushees Fefed At Hunt By Phoenix Club Beehive activity extended from Weber college to the Berthana ballroom, as Phoenix members and rushees engaged in a riotous scavenger hunt Tuesday evening, October 17. The party was dismissed at the ballroom, but, those who wished to, remained to skate. Members present were: Fred Foulger, Lewis Briggs, Dan Curtis, Rolfe Peterson, Taylor Becraft, Sylvan Godfrey, Eugene Brough, and Frank Limburg. Rushees invited were: Grant Neuteboom, Ross Ekins, Blair Evans, Dick Murdock, Con Morris, Jerry Clark, Kay Crockett, George Stewart, Franklin Mann, Bruce Baird, Gale Rose, Keith Wilcox, Grant Hodson, Junior Reynolds, Ralph Mattson, Spencer Loughton, Reed Coray, Blair Lydell, Earl Tanner, James Lindsay, Delbert Nye, Garrett Wolthius, Junior Coroles, Sid Foulger, Rodney Dunn, Hugh Rounds, Jack Hazen, Dan Bailey, Lloyd Luddington, Clair Whitely, Carlos Critchlow, Blaine Hulmstdn, Bob Sneddon, and Clyde Williams. Frenisti Has Rush Party In Canyon Home A rustic cabin in Ogden canyon was the setting of Frenisti club's rush party last Thursday evening, October 12. Thirty-five rushees were entertained during the evening. A campfire supper was served, after which President LeMoyne Peterson told the meaning and purposes of Frenisti. Aaron Roylance gave a dialect reading, and community singing rounded out the evening. Special guests at the party were: Mr. Leland Monson, club sponsor, and Stuart Wheelwright. Members present included LeMoyne Peterson, Aaron Roylance, Dean Brown, Stanley Johnson, Lawrence Stetler, Gordon Huggins, Wayne Craven, Darrel Maddock, and Desmond Norton. Dixon, Others Fish Over Week End Holiday Footballs and gridirons may be of prominent interest to the fall sports fans but to President Dixon and a few fellow anglers there is nothing that can quite compare with 'last week end's fishing trip to Ponds, forty miles this side of Yellowstone. After traveling some 300 miles Friday night, the two days of restful fishing and delicious cooking that followed were, according to all that went, a tonic for any ill. Boasting of seven course meals and Mr. Wally Baddley's cooking ability, everyone delcared the food on the trip wasn't anything less than super colossal. So good in fact that Mr. Dix Jones was forgiven for being frying - pan shy when it came to up- holding the cooking standards set up by Mrs. Tanner. From all comments as to the size of the fish that got away, Mr. Baddley seems to have claims for the biggest. Being pulled into the river is mighty conclusive evidence according to Mr. Baddley's reasoning. Laurels to the best fisherman should be pretty evenly divided between Mr. Stevenson and President Dixon. Both seem to have the ability to lure the fish into their baskets consistently one, two three. . . . Members of the party were President Dixon and his son John, Mr. Stevenson, Mr. Dix Jones, and Mr. Wally Baddley. Student Hunters Look For Deer By LARKIN PATTERSON Hunters are loose again around the campus. No, not coed hunters, but deer hunters. At least twelve Weber students plan to participate in the shooting this season, which opens October 21. Bart Wolthius and three companions are leaving Sunday for the hills near Liberty. The Clayton boys are going to try their luck on the deer sometime between Saturday and Tuesday. They are going south to try to bag a buck or two. Also going south are Desmond Norton and Delbert Brown with a party of five. "We will be back to school Monday with our deer," promises Desmond. Donelle Olsen and Camille Lar-sen will shoot in the hills of north Mantua in hopes of bringing back a deer. Raymond Kunzler, in company with his father, is leaving Saturday for Park Valley to -hunt on horseback. They are determined not to come back until they get their deer. Glen Stamos, who not only gets his prey, but also eats it, has a big one to swallow this time. That is his latest dietary plan, at least. It appears as though Wayne Bott is playing safe when he states that he is going in company with six horsemen. Now if he gets mixed up and brings back a dead horse . . . In Moss Creek, if there are any deer, Albert Purcell says he'll bring one of them in. Don Hatch is heading for the high hills of the Wasatch range. He intends to spend a great deal of time there. The sports staff hopes to see him before the quarter ends. Lettermen Hold Annual Elections The Lettermen held their annual elections Thursday, October 12, in the office of the gymnasium at twelve o'clock, with Coach Losee, sponsor of the club, taking charge of the meeting. Don Hatch, all-conference tackle and tackle of the all-opponent team of St. Regis last year was elected president. Glen Clark,all-conference fullback, was elected to the vice presidency. Delbert Nye, all-conference of last year, will take care of the Lettermen's funds. Tom Lawson was elected athletic manager to keep the boys in shape. According to President Hatch, the object of the club this year is to create social activities. The club is planning on having a monthly party among themselves. President Hatch also stated that the Lettermen are trying to stimulate more social activity around the school. Skull Entertains For Rushees Skulls and rushees met by the pine tree in front of the Moench Monday at seven-thirty p.m. There they were given hunting orders for a scavenger chase. A sample list included: a lock of blonde hair, a horseshoe, a tire, a tire from a five-cent automobile, a string from mother's apron, the signature from every third fireman, six ice cubes, time table, a Chinese signature, a 1938 calendar, two cigar butts, and two cigarette butts from Washington boulevard.

October 13, did not prove to be any kind of jinx to the invading gridders from Rexburg. Fact proved the contrary as Weber was defeated 7 to 0. Ricks did not upset the Weber team as many critics have stated. It was an over-confident herd of "Wildcats" that upset themselves in what might prove to be a very costly bit of experience. Most of you probably recall the old proverb: "Pride rides before the fall." This certainly proved itself in the Friday jinx tussle. The Weber clan should have known that an attack of over-confidence would be the result, after the setback administered to such a team as Pasadena the week previous. Then again, the late Knute Rockne, after many experiments, found it very unwise to start ashock-absorbing team in any contest. At our own U. of U., Coach Ike Armstrong, with the best material in the history of the school, does not start a group of greenlings in his games. This fault, however, may be overlooked in some respects. After all, sometimes it helps readjust a "cocky" regular to be benched. However do not get the idea that our team is not appreciated and not worthy of our very best support. Our team has shown us that they can play very high class brand of ball, and they should be recognized, as they usually are . Our towns people cannot be expected to turn out to a listless game such as our last, but they will turn out to such games as the ones previous. The students could also show much more spirit than that shown last week. We can expect the best from the fellows from now on. The spark plugs have been cleaned.

Excelsior Fetes Rushees At Canyon Party Excelsior members were host to approximately forty-five rushees at South Fork canyon, Sunday, October 8. Peterson's cabin was the focal point of interest (refreshments) with members and rushees enjoying themselves at football, soft-ball, horseshoes, hiking, and occasional fishing. At an attractive dance at the Old Mill, Friday, October 13, the members again were hosts to rushees and their dates. Refreshments were served to approximately fifty couples. At the Hotel Ben Lomond last Wednesday night, Excelsior held open meeting .Featured were a chalk talk by Mr. Collett and selected musical numbers.Earnest Cook, Jesse Jensen, George H. London, and Donald West. The evening over, the rushees and members assembled in the Japanese room of the Hotel Ben Lomond for a buffet handout.

I 'I - ; I r I J I 'I' I '', I I " Nimrods Slate Big Venison Hunt The call of the wild reaches Weber in coincidence with the hunting season and is evidenced by hurried departures. President Dixon, Mr. Stevenson, Mr. Gray, and Mr. Smith are going to the Fish lake district. They say they have their deer already staked out. Their Uup will last through Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. President Dixon stated before leaving. "I've had a rifle for two years and never shot it. I can get more venison through lending my rifle than I can by shooting it myself." Alan "Small Fry" Christiansen Christiansen Is Great Open Field Player Although he is diminutive, Alan Christiansen is a great football player. He has proved by his exhibitions that he is a clever ball carrier and a great open field runner.Many times in high school as well as here at college, he has brought the fans to their feet with an off-tackle play or a sweeping end run for a long gain. Football is not his only merit. He is a very fleet-footed trackman. Last year he won second place in the 220 yard low hurdles at the conference meet against some of the best runners in the state. In basketball last year, he proved to be a little demon to the opposing team because of his deadly accuracy for the basket. He makes it still harder for the opposing team because he is left handed, quick, aggressive, and very hard to guard. This year, so far, he has made several gains of lengthy yardage at crucial points in the game to give our team a slight edge at that time. Besides carrying the ball for gains he has also thrown bullet passes CAT HALFBACK . . . HWffflFiifc . pMSaaaaMaw w LEADING THE - VH v.- ::::. - - . The value scoop of the year. It is impossible to describe the beauty and value packed into these shoes. You'll just have to examine them yourself to appreciate their rugged upper leathers, their heavy flexible soles and solid leather heels and you'll have to wear a pair to really appreciate their comfort, long wear and their "million dollar appearance." Just the thing for drill or dress or sportswear in both the new antique brown and black. FORTUNE'S $3 50 Wildcats Leave to Battle With Mesa Gridders Mr. Wally Baddley is going up Lost Creek for a day or two but he wants to get back in time for duck hunting. Mr. George Hyde and Mr. Lorenzo Peterson are leaving by themselves for the hunting grounds, where they expect to meet their different parties. Each boasts of "going to get a big one." As for Mr. Whitney Young, putting it in his own words, "Why, I couldn't think of killing those poor little things. It's nothing less than ambush." Happy hunting, boys, and bring home the bacon I mean the venison!to his two elongated ends to make more progress toward "pay dirt." It takes brains to be a quarterback and run a football team, and Christiansen has some of these cells in the back of his head. During his senior year at high school, he was president of the senior class, a member of Alpha Theta and one of the five honor students. This year at Weber he is a member of the Lettermen's club, and intramural manager. , Alan, as well as Captain Jack Thomas, has an optimistic outlook towards the coming game with Mesa. However, both of them say "It will be a tough game." You'll Do Better With a Conn The Choice of Artists Sold Exclusively by GLEN BROS. MUSIC CO. 2305 Washington Ogden, Utah Expect Strong Opposition From Colorado Eleven After a thorough trouncing at the hands of the Vikings of Ricks, , the Weber Wildcats left yester-day at eight o'clock for Grand Junction, Colorado, where they will tangle with Mesa Saturday night. As yet, Coach Davis has not been able to select a starting lineup. It is certain, however, that a first string gang of Wildcats will be in there at the kickoff. Coach Davis gives his probable starting lineup as: QB, Alan Christiansen; HB, Tim Dyer; HB, Norris Nelson; FB. Glen Clark; RE, Bob Clarke; LE, Rawson Childs; RT, Keith Peterson; LT, Frank Berglund."The guard positions are still uncertain," Coach Davis said. Willey and Rounds have shown up well in scrimmage the last week, but Milton Berglund and Delbert Nye will probably receive the call at game time. Jack Thomas will be in at center. I About 25 squad members will make the trip, including the first string. Coach Davis at a late date, was still uncertain as to which members, besides the first string, will go. They will probably be: Alan Bader, Tom Lawson, Grant Hodson, Don McClanahan, DrreH Pitt, Carl Worden, Dick Gro'oerg, Ray Freeman, and Joe Adams.
