He conjures up a quacking noise, To lend allure to his decoys. This grown-up man, With pluck and luck, Is hoping to outwit A duck. Intrumurals Open With Top Football Activity Intra-murals at Weber College started in high gear Monday, with Brigham City edging out Sigma by the small score of 6-0, in the first touch football game of the season.Highlights of the hard-fought contest were short, fast passes by Burt Hunsaker, and long punts by Ron Stephens. Darwin Stone, a freshman representing Sigma carried most of the load for the Sigma crew. It was the much smaller line for Sigma that spelled the difference at the end of the game. . A thrilling game is promised when the white hats of Excelsior meet the sisters of Phoenix. This contest will be wide open because of the great rivalry between the two clubs. Competition will be high in intra- murals this year and all teams will be trying for the trophy which is given to the winner of the numer ous activities throughout the year. L, .

Undefeated thus far in grid play, the Wildcats avenged last year's 19 to 13 defeat and handed the Giants their first 1951 loss before approximately 1500 fans at the city stadium. Hall Stars Roger Hall, Weber's passing quar terback, scored the first touch down of the game in the first period ending a drive early in the period by the Weberites. He smashed into the end zone from the seven-yard line. The conversioon was wide. Visalis proved the game no push over as they started a drive which began on their own 30 right after the Weber kickoff. With Lew Flor ence and Bob Line doing most of the driving, the Giants plowed to the touchdown zone at a rate of about a first down every two plays. Florence finally tied the score from Weber's five-yard line. Pass to Wilkinson A long pass fired into Wildcat Ron Wilkenson by Hall was good for 32 yards and a touchdown early in the second quarter after Hall and Lamont Lamb had worked the ball into Giant territory Hall kicked the extra point giving Weber a 13 to 6 lead. . However the visitors kept up with the pace as Fran Weddle scored for the Giants climaxing a passing drive by Bob Line. The third period saw both teams fighting for the goal lines but neither being able to make it. At one lme the Californian boys were finally stopped on the Weber 15. But this was the closest either team came to scoring. - Hall Again In the final period the Weberites started their final touchdown drive when Hall passed the Milt Mecham team down the field toward the goal post. Hall then arounsed the fans by twisting away from two Giant tacklers who almost had him on the ground and then swerving his way the remaining twenty yards into the end-zone for the score. Halftime activities featured four bands who played patriotic music and paraded around the field. These four were the Hill Air Force band, Weber College band, Weber High School band and the Ogden ROTC band. Weber's Whip club also participated.During the halftime, Weber col lege's freshman queen was introduced to the crowd. Queen was Barbara Birkhead with Raelene Sommers and Shirley Burns as the attendants.
