Smelling the Boise defeat in the wind from the north, Meeham first commented on the sure-fire proselyting system at the Idaho institution when asked about Weber chances against the Boiseans. "All the boys the University of Utah tried to get in Idaho went to Boise junior college," said Meeham.Then he added: "We'll sure have a team next year if the four-year college comes through." We took this to mean that Coach has his men coming along okay, and that he is pleased with the talent they show and expects them to do plenty if he can have them under wraps for another while. These comments were made ahead of the Boise disaster and foretold that the lightweight Weber Wildcats probably would have a tough night against Idaho. Still we were mighty pleased with the way scrappers like Gary Loosli, Don Shaw, Jim Swenson, Jack Andrews and George Taylor got in there with the old Weber fight. So now we are out of the conference running, the question is can the Wildcats take second place on the gridiron this year? Who is there left to furnish us with another possible defeat? An Informed source says it could he Kicks of Rexburg, Idaho, a four-year L. D. S. church school. Home fans will have the chance of seeing what Meeham and the boys have cooked up for this encounter. It is scheduled as an afternoon game in Ogden Nov. 1. Meanwhile, if the home fans are in Salt Lake City this Saturday they can see the Cats face Westminster there, another four-year school. Weber Slaps BAC 12 to 7, Loses to Boise; Side Comments Determine Why and How Flashback on football games occurring since the previous appearance of the Signpost records one victory and one defeat, with the defeat as well having gone the other way if passes had connected, in the opinion of gridiron seers. But that is a strictly Weber opinion. First the victory. The well-a I" the third quarter, when the thought-of Cedar City Aggies bowed to the Weber Wildcats at the close of the first week of school in Ogden stadium by a count of 12 to 7. The locals were behind at one point in the game and only by superior effort pulled the game over into the win column.The Aggies were rated by football officials here as probably the i best B. A. C. aggregation seen in Ogden. This was commented upon as being "only natural" since the Cedar City school is now operating on a four-year basis and feeling the development of the extra attendance periods in the sports activities. To beat the Aggies "Our team had to play outstanding ball." according to the Cat coaches' comments on the game. "Aggie opposition was clean, tough and hard j fought. Coach Dave Gates should be complimented on the type of club he has developed." On the loss side, Boise drubbed the Weber squad by a score of 33 to 14 last week-end in a home game here. Some fans thought that, except for a couple of bad "breaks", the game might have J been one for Weber college. This i opinion, however, left out of ac-' count Boise speed, weight and inability of the local sentinels watching right end. An example of local misfortune was a pass from Andrews to Loosli, prior to j the half, which Loosli couldn't I quite connect with. But it was ex- actly this Andrews to Loosli combination which accounted for the j 14 points the Cats did eke out in opposing what appeared to be unusually well qualified personnel, J well coached, from Idaho. Weber stars, who included Don Shaw and others, were struggling to retrieve the game, Boise exerted a bit of reserve pressure and Patrick cast the leather 40 yards to Teverbaugh and Teverbaugh carried it across and made the score 20 to 7 with the place kick. Andrews and Loosli got another, with Andrews place-kicking to bring it up to 14 for the Wildcats, but Teverbaugh ran around right end for 50 yards for another. The kick was good. Soon Patrick tried right end again and found it open for a 2a-yard run and score standing up. The kick was wide, and that was the score. Counters in the second quarter came by way of Loosli for. Weber and Frank Teverbaugh and Don White for Boise, totaling 13 to 7 for Boise. The Very Best In All Good Eats COLLEGE 1 1 i For Stationery, Greeting j Cards and School f Supplies . . .

This was the last minute view of the Cat mentor, Milt (Do It Now) Meeham. "Boy, they are going to have to play football," said Milt of his starters. Traveling to thr Parson stadium will be a big squad of 45 players, of whom many are expected to see action if "the Ministers don't get much "when they pass the plate. But there is no certainty that anything easy is in the calendar for the Wildcats, again quoting the coach. "Who's going to star Saturday?""I hope all of them," declared Meeham, with some emphasis on the "all." Starters were listed as: George Taylor, left end; Gary Crompton, left tackle; Dick Brown, left guard; Pete Miller, center; Max Cologna, right guard; Jack Brown, right tackle; Daurel Barnes, right end; Jack Andrews, quarterback; Gary Loosli, left halfback; Ron Lowder, fullback; Don Shaw, right halfback. v So the Andrews to Loosli combination is a probable clicker, with variations provided by such men as Shaw and Lowder. A whole -series of lettermcn and all-staters from Nevada and Wyoming will see action for the four- year Salt Lake Presbyterian school. Whittling away at the Wildcats with probable spurts of brilliance will be the following starters, according to a press time, announcement: Bruce Turner and Bill Tate, halfbacks: Dale Gebo, fullback and a 1951 letterman; Dimitrios Kyremus, quarterback, a letter-man; Howard Condie and Larry Olson, ends, also lettermen; Dick Bradley, Nevada all-stater, Sam Contos, Wyoming, all - stater, tackles; Elmer Lampe, Urban Gebo, ends and 1951 lettermen; Harry Klekas, center, letterman. The run-in will be the fourth conference game for Weber and the third for Westminster. Weber has posted two wins, 26 to 7 over Carbon, 12 to 7 over B. A. C, and one loss, 33 to 14 under Boise. The Salt Lake school has defeated Snow college 7 to 6, and been defeated by Carbon 7 to 0.
