Show THE SIGNPOST WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1940 Basketball Lures Wildcats Casaba Artists Commence Gym Training Sweating boys, tired from their strenuous practice are the sights a person will see it he goes into the gym either on Tuesday or Thursday from four till five o'clock. Most of these boys have been in training since October 28, when Coach Swenson called the first practice. As yet, there are a few who are playing football and will not be out till after the Pasadena game, which will be played November 29 in the Rose Bowl. The boys who are laboring now will get their reward in the few pre-season games which will be played in Ogden and some surrounding towns. Some time early in December, Weber will be honored in being the first to play the "Ogden Pioneers." A few years ago, when Ogden had a similar team, it was called the "Ogden Boosters." This year the Ogden Pioneers are being sponsored by local business men, and they will go barn-storming around the country playing games and making Ogden known. They expect to play in some 25 states. Being the first to play this team, should be an honor to Weber because the team has a few former Weber players on the team and also many players who have starred in other colleges throughout the United States. Weber will travel to the three universities of our state for preseason games, and will scrimmage against a few "M" Men teams and some commercial teams of Ogden city leagues. At present those who are out for practice and those who will be expected to come out after football season are: Rawson Childs, Bob Clark, Les Gardiner, Bob Sneddon, Alan Bader, Bob Bell, Clarke Johnson, Shearl Holmes, Jay Hancey, Gene Green, Carl Buehler, Sid Manning, Glen Shannon, Jerry Young, Grant Walquist, Joe Peterson, Dick Herrick, Jim Larson, Wallace Sandland, Don Boam, and Kenneth DeVries. With this abundance of talent, Weber college should go places in the Basketball tournament this year as she has in the past. Faculty Challenge Is Instigator of 'Bunny Shoot' "Let's not kid each other." During the deer season there was quite a debate between the faculty and the students about who were the best shots. Coach Losee last week made the statement that the faculty would challenge and beat any other organization in the school in a rabbit hunt. The intramural manager, Glen Cherry, took the statement up and made the shoot a regular intramural activity. Cherry requests that the club managers turn in the date on which their club would like the rabbit shoot held. It must be held on a Saturday. $4.95 Many other young ladies' and young men's styles modestly priced at $2'8 10 $495 Westminster Team Submits Under Wildcat Attack By RAY FREEMAN Westminster's band of praying Parsons almost upset Weber's apple cart last Saturday at Salt Lake City, but were subdued to a final 6-0 Weber victory. The splendid work of the Weber line held the fighting Parsons at bay during one of the most strenuous homecoming games in the league. Westminster, winner of one game away from home and one home game, played a challenging game. Weber played without Bader and Hill, two star linemen. Weber started off with a bang when halfback Mattson returned the kickoff 20 yards and Weber rolled to the 25-yard line. Westminster took over then and pushed the ball all over the field but couldn't penetrate the Weber 20-yard line. Weber, likewise, couldn't penetrate the Parson's 20. Defense giants on Weber's line were Childs and Clark at ends; Evans, Hodgson, Une and Anderson as tackles; and Captain Nye, Willey, Bell, and Pitt at guard positions. Lawson and Berglund monopolized the center spot. Weber's backs, hampered by a muddy field, were slow getting started. Lloyd Norseth was an interesting chap during the entire game, as he cut loose on enemy linemen and backs. Allen and Hen-rich, reserve ends, also turned in a commendable game. During the last half, Dixon, Sneddon, Henrich, Freeman, Mattson, Dunn, Simmons, and Dyer really turned on the offensive. Dyer kept the Parsons well on edge during his stay in the game, once skipping 50 yards with the pig skin. Not until the last period, did the Wildcats start to score. They pushed to the Parson's 10-yard line, were pushed back to the 15-yard line, and scored from there. Freeman then sent a forward pass into the waiting arms of "Bones" Childs. The extra point was missed. The Parsons roared down the field in the last three minutes of play but couldn't crack the strong defense of the Wildcat line. Intramural Sports Campaign Begins Intramural basketball is starting off with a bang this year. Thirteen teams are signed up ready and willing to hear the "play ball" whistle. One of the most important of the new teams of unaffiliated students to enter the race this season, is the "Challengers." Their team is composed of both sophomore and freshmen players of high reputation. Among those who will be on the team are: Wayne Taylor, captain; Tim Dyer, Grant Walquist, Jay Hancey, Kenneth DeVries, Ralph Mattson, and Jim Larsen. Some of the members of this team might even be good enough to play with the varsity squad. Another team who will be fighting for the championship this year is an affilliated team of Skull club members. This team, all sophomores, had exactly the same team members playing last year and they were serious contenders for the championship, losing only to the strong Excelsior team, of last year, by a single basket. This Skull team is composed of Glen Cherry and Delmar Stone forwards; Jerry Young, center; and Gene Talbot and Glenn Shannon, guards.

Is the faculty leading the intramurals? That's right; they are, no fooling! Glen Cherry, intramural manager, yesterday completed the statistics that tell the story. Here are the reasons: During the summer the faculty scout must have gone around to universities looking for good athletes (or teach ers.) Mr. Charles Espy, intramural manager, of the faculty, is an all- around player. He plays basketball, water baseball, softball, and there is a rumor that he can out- un any miler in the school. Another newcomer to the faculty 5 Mr. Orlo Childs, that talked about basketball model. He played first base for the faculty softball team making every catch like a big leaguer. He also pitched the faculty to championship in water baseball. Mr. Ferron Losee is a capable player of any sport. He is forever trying to keep the faculty interested in intramurals. He is also a swimming team by himself. Mr. Walter Buss can always Be counted on. He attends everything the faculty takes part in. He is an all-around man both in his classes and in play. Mr. D. R. Trevithiek may be slow in extemporaneous speech, but when he hits a home run his legs just begin to function in the ght direction. He is backing the faculty 100 per cent. Dr. Ernest Miner is capable or taking care of himself in any kind of sport. He is a quiet acting fellow in his classes, but when engaged in play he lets forth with all his masculine abilities. Mr. Farrell Collett being an art teacher puts much color into the faculty's teams. He is an active member of the faculty in all com petition. Mr. Wallace Baddley plays horseshoes for the faculty and is the defending champion of last year. He takes part in all sports that concern the faculty. Mr. Reed Swenson and Mr. Bob Davis come out to the games that they can attend without interfering with other work. But they said they were fully behind the idea of the faculty taking part in intramural activities. Mr. Ira Markham, a man that doesn't act like an athlete, but is probably one of the best swimmers in the school, adds much color to the faculty team. Mr. Nile Harbertson is a great asset to any team. He is a newcomer to this school, but is playing like a veteran. He aided in their victory in water baseball and the swimming meet. Mr. Roland Perry pitched the faculty to the semi-finals in soft-ball. He is a promising man in basketball and other intramural activities.Mr. Ralph Jensen, another newcomer, hurt his foot during soft-ball, but will be in suit for the faculty basketball team. Mr. O. M. Clark is backing the faculty 100 per cent. He is to every game to play no matter how rough it may be. Mr. C. M. Nilssom hasn't as yet entered into any activity, but has signed up to play basketball for the faculty. Many other faculty men will take part during the year in the sports that they shine in. It appears that all of them will take part in basketball. A few of the teachers have classes and other work that holds them back from playing with their team, but their spirit Is always with the faculty team. Aquatic Stars Give Weber Chances at Swimming Honors Swimmers, both men and women, are now training for the Utah Open Swimming Meet , to be held at the Deseret gymnasium December S, and 6. "Our prospects for swimming honors are the best that I have ever known," said Coach Ferron Losee. Over-riding a precedent of past years, ten coeds immediately began training for competitive swimming, when Coach Losee first offered to instruct them from 4:30 to 5:00. Others said they were interested in this activity, but that it was too late in the day for them to take part. The hour has been changed to 3:00 on Monday, Wednesday, and This Is Gold Turkey THE MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER MAKE THE SIGN POST POSSIBLE PATRONIZE YOUR SIGN POST ADVERTIZERS Hits Trail With Wildcats... Coach Bob Davis who will take his tour this week. Twenty-six players Friday for the Pasadena Rose Bowl Weber Wildcats Head Pasadenaward for Rose Bowl Contest BY RAY FREEMAN Seeking new fields to conquer, Weber's Wildcats will leave Friday, November 29, for the extended football trip of the year. The team will first go to Cedar City, then to Pasadena and play in the famous Rose Bowl. Team members certain of going are Alan Bader, Darrell Pitt, Clyde Willey, Delbert Nye, Grant Hodgson, Sherman Evans, Bert Ure, West Belnap, Dick Herrick, Fred Simmons, Bob Sneddon, Bob Dixon, Ray Freeman, Blain Johnson, Bob Clark, Joe Peterson, Rawson Childs, Emil Hennick, Bob Allen, and Ralph Mattsen. Other players to be taken are now pending eligibility. The football team well deserves-t a good trip to California. The long tour will cover a space of about 10 days. The trip will include visits to Boulder dam, Las Vegas on a Saturday night, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Pasadena and Hollywood and maybe the novelty of going in a Trailway bus. All in all, the boys should learn quite a bit, see quite a bit of beautiful country, and get experience to help them in Friday to accommodate these others. Coach Losee urged that any girls who would thus be enabled to enter competitive swimming let him know immediately. Losee is assembling a nice school of swimmers in the men's division. Captain Wayne Christenson can be counted upon to take a medal in the breast stroke. Ralph Barnard and Bill Taylor are his two young hopefuls in the backstroke division. Jay Bachman and Willard Jensen wil enter in the crawl stroke competition. Bachman and Jensen were on the team last year. Claire Whitely, Jr., A. A. U. low board diving champion in '39 will compete for Weber's diving honors again. UNSUNG HEROES There are fellows in Weber who actually make the school click and yet they are never honored in any way. They don't make speeches, they don't make headlines, yet they are the very source of our school spirit. They are not the first string on the football team. They are the fellows that make the first string what it is. The first string wallops the daylights out of these fellows every day to keep in practice for other competition. At games the fans can wrap up in blankets or dash out to a warm car, the first string is on the field playing, but these fellows, who back them up, sit on the bench and quietly freeze. But they are always waitingwaiting for a chance to go into the game and let our opponents romp all over them for the sake of Weber. They may never get the chance, yet they sit through every game. With snow blowing in their ears, with water lapping at their boot tops, they are waiting and cheering cheering the players whom thousands already cheer. They are the guys who go to the dance afterwards and tell how great the other fellows played. They are the guys who don't have to stop and think when asked how they like their school. They are the guys that Weber can't get along without. warriors on their annual football and four supervisors will leave game. college. Pasadena, the largest junior college in the world with an enrollment of almost 10,000 students, should prove a source of interest. The boys will arrive at Cedar City late Friday evening and play Saturday afternoon. The team will then go on to St. George Saturday night and arrive in Los Angeles Sunday night .Their headguarters will be at a fashionable hotel in Long Beach, California, where the team stayed before. There are 40,000 people expected at the game. Most of the Pasadena "old grads" are coming back to see the game, It is hoped that Weber will have something of a surprise for them, as was the case last year. Pasadena has been beaten this year and so has Weber, consequently, it should be a dog fight. There is some talk around that Weber is stale, but you take my word for it, Weber will be in fine feathers when it hits Cedar City and Pasadena. Coach Bob Davis and the team are out to enjoy themselves but they are not going just for the trip, they are going to bring back two victories. WE ARE WITH YOU BOYS WIN THOSE GAMES! I WAA Will Sponsor Calendar of Varied Activities By Almira Heslop W. A. A. will sponsor a school for basketball officials this year as a new center of interest in women's athletics. It sounds important! It is important! Melba Martin is in charge of the arrangements. Letters have been sent to the two high schools and the junior high school physical education department inviting girls to attend. The purpose of this school is to train girls in the rules and management of the game so they can .successfully and competently officiate during the basket ball tournament.Attention all W. A. A. members. Tentative plans are under way for an ice skating party to be sponsored by W. A. A. as soon as the ice will hold. Marjorie Vowles, chairman of the occasion, is in charge of the arrangements and is plenty enthusiastic about it. "Last year," said Miss Ida Stewart, W. A. A. adviser, "we planned a skating party but the winter sports carnival conflicted with it. There is no carnival scheduled for this year so the skating party will undoubtedly be one of the highlights on the sports calendar." Cross country swimming is the latest undertaking of members of the swimming club. Elaine Williamson, swimming club president is sponsoring this new and unique teature. A large map of the United States will be the scoreboard. Each time a contestant swims a lap of the pool she will be credited with certain number of miles on her trip across the country. The number of laps will be counted and then placed on the map showing the location of the swimmers in their cross country swim. This is of special notice to all the more graceful and rhymathic. The dancing club is beginning immediately on its dance review. This is a real thrill for participants according to testimonies of last year's members. It is also one of the best entertainment features offered by the school. The dance club will meet on Wednesday nights at 7:00 p. m. for the purpose of producing this review. The service ball tournament hit a new high in intramural attendance. The results of the last three weeks have shown a marked increase with from 84 to 93 girls in attendance. There are 12 teams scheduled to play each week. This tournament will last over a six week period. There is always a wide variety in women's sports to suit each indi vidual taste. President McEntire urged that the coeds participate and help put over some of these gigantic undertakings.

The final score stood Albion 7, Weber 6. The teams gained a touchdown apiece in the first quarter and failed to raise the score in the next three quarters of battle. Rod Dunn intercepted a pass from Littlefield and trotted 34 yards for Weber's touchdown. Sneddon's attempted placement kick went wide. Hepworth, yf Albion passed to Price in the end zone for their score. Barrett's placement kicked the score up a point to an odd that remained at the close of the game. Weber's line then put in a game of impassible defensive play for the next three quarters. Sneddon continually hammered at the Albion line with an insist- ant offensive play. In the second half he intercepted an Albion pass and raced 55 yards before he was brought down. Weber, however, failed to score again. Nye and Evans were a constant threat to the Albion Panthers. Bader at center and Dunn at halfback also put in a game of intensive play. Littlefield danced through the Albion line several times and his line plunges and end plays gave Albion a player to watch.
