Show Page 4 SIGNPOST Friday, October 22, 1948 Smoker To Finance Band Jaunt Two of the contestants can't wait for their bout to begin Tuesday, in the A. M. S. Smoker. Wilford Schmitt is trying to hold back "Jabbing Jack" Critchlow, while Jack Oram is comforting "the aggressor", Doug Toone. Where is hhe? ("The Shadow knows"). Keith's Korner By Keith Hunt A recent issue of one of the larger newspapers in the state carried an editorial blasting the intermoun-tain junior college athletic setup. The article stated that as yet no full-season schedule has been announced by the league; the distinction between league and non-league contests is so dim, that it seems one coach had no idea which he was playing until game time. All in all, the league setup is so loose that it is actually bringing more harm and discredit than it is good to the member schools. Now this article is not being written in any form of retaliation whatsoever, for the above mentioned editorial is absolutely right, but rather in an attempt to clarify the situation to any of you readers who may be harboring these same questions, about the conference. The roots of the trouble lie in the fact that absolutely no information or publicity concerning the setup has been released so that the public may become familiar with it. The responsibility for this oversight must fall on the shoulders of the executive secretary of the league, W. O. Watkins, of Westminster college in Salt Lake City. It is Mr. Watkins' job to see that information concerning any and all phases of the league in general is passed on out through the regular channels to reach the public. For reasons unknown he failed to do so, resulting in thefore-mentioned editorial. Needless to say, officials of the other member schools have informed Mr. Watkins as to where his duty lies. The intermountain JC loop is composed of nine schools, involving Weber, BAC, Carbon, Westminster, Boise, Albion, Ricks, Snow, and Dixie. The football regulations state that in order for a school to qualify for any league laurels it must have a minimum of four games with league teams. All association members except Boise have qualified this season. Boise failed to do so as their schedule was drawn before the league was organized. It is reasonable to assume that in this first year of organization these and other pitfalls must be met and conquered by the junior colleges. The JC schools must he recognized if they are to prove that they are more than just "farm clubs" for the larger colleges. The fact is becoming increasingly obvious that wer are a power in our own right, ready to emerge from the shadow cast by the four-year schools. This new league, if properly handled, can be the determining factor in proving this point. Sigma Advances To Finals, Beats Phoenix Sigma earned its way into the first half of the intramuraf touch tournament with a convincing 12-0 victory over Phoenix Tuesday. Lloyd Neville's sling-shot arm proved to be the downfall of Phoenix as he hit men from near and far with uncanny accuracy. Great catches were made by such glue-fingered artists as Keith Hunt, Wayne Cottle, and Bob Preece. In third quarter, George Perrins spotted Bob Preece in the end zone and hit him for the first T. D. Stopped Phoenix Phoenix bore down and a long pass from Thair Blackburn to Ralph Call placed the ball on Sig-ma's 21. But now it was Sigma's turn to brace and their hard charg- Kay's Noodle Parlor Best and Cleanest Place in City Kiesel Ave. Dial 9121 Wildcat Profiles f::w':-::::;w:::::is x ,.'

Neville was still not satisfied so he threw a long one to Hunt who was stopped at the Phoenix 18. On second down and with only thirty seconds to play, Neville hit Preece for six points and the victory went to Sigma, 12-0. Games last Thursday, Friday, and Monday were postponed because of rain and the deer season. If weather will permit, the first half will end next Thursday when Sigma will tangle with the winner of the gym class and unaffiliated game.

Cats Travel, Seek Third Season Win The boys of the Wildcat lair will take off Saturday morning for their game with the Idaho Southern college, at Albion. Coach Milt Mecham passed review on the Idaho team in their game with Carbon college at Albion some weeks ago, and reports that while Idaho southern rang up a larger score against the Carbon-ites than did the Weber machine, the Wildcats will give the Idaho teachers a severe scratching. Several Weber gridders have been hurt during the past, week but expect to be ready to play for the game up north, Saturday. Ends Sterling Gardner and Ray Rhead have foot injuries, and Herb Crittenden has a shoulder ailment. Dale Bowman received an ankle injury. Henry Gramberg sparkling tackle, strained the achilles tendon in his leg while playing in the Boise game Thursday. Colorful backs Ronald Plygare and Vance Bitton have shoulder injuries and LaMar Ward, center is held back by a severe cold. A probable starting line-up for the Weber squad will be: Ends, Ray Rhead and Sterling Gardner; tackles, Darrell Tullis and Henry Granberg; guards, Perry Lambert and Rodney Garcia; center, LaMar Ward; quarterback, Milt DeMello; halfbacks, Marvin Pelt and Bill Kessler; fullback, Wayne Schmalz. Kickoff time for the game will be 2 p. m. Physical Ed. Major A freshman, he is majoring in Physical Education, and from the Progress he has made in a football suit, no one can say that he didn't pick the right field. Other than football his past-times consist of National Guard duties and swimming. He tips the scales at around 215, stands 6 feet 2, and when you find yourself on the opposite side of the scrimmage line you know that he is no easy boy to get around. Injured Leg During the game against Boise, Henry pulled a tendon in his leg, but hopes that he can be in shape for the Idaho Southern game, Saturday. One can recognize this fellow by the big number 41 on his uniform front. , . I VETAS ! CONFECTIONERY j j 26th & Wash. Blvd. j j For the Best J I ICE CREAM & MALTS! I Delmar Dickson has been in charge of lining up bouts and thus far some great matches have been set. Top talent from Weber college, the local high schools, and State Industrial school have been acquired for the slug-fest. Grudge Battle One of the evening's top matches is a real grudge battle between Doug, the "Aggressor" Toone and "Jabbing" Jack Critchlow. These sluggers have not been on speaking terms ever since Doug pinched Jack's straw while he was trying to drink a pineapple malt in the C. I. Both boys have been training vigorously for their coming bout. Doug's training camp has been at the Utah Bottling Works where he has "been using the pinball machine for a punching bag. Likewise Jack has been training hard at the local YWCA and the girls there have given him some good work outs. "Fine Band" Too much cannot be said about the cause of this smoker. Mr. Dickson said: "We have a fine band at Weber and a fine band should be shown somewhere besides the classroom, local games, and once in a while in concert." "Many colleges and universities send their bands to all games away from home and there is no reason why Weber shouldn't. The only thing that would stop our band from going to Compton now would be the student body of Weber college itself, he said. So, fans get out and support this smoker and your part toward raising funds for the school will be done. The band has supported the school in the past. Let's have the school support and the band in this. DICK'S BILLIARDS Candy and Soft Drinks 352 - 25th St. Phone 2-0437 And the Flowers are Furnished by Olive and Mark K L E N K E 2955 Wash.
