Show Page 6 SIGNPOST Thursday, October 26, 1950 DOWNS In FRONT By Keith Downs Ab Sanone is doing a great job as Intramural manager this year. Beside seeing the games go off as scheduled, Ab is personally umpiring each game. Not only is Ab activ in touch-football, but he also is a capable basketball official and does a lot of running in track. Clark college boast one of the best defensive J. C. teams in the West. In four games they have had only 28 points scored against them. With a southpaw passer named Wimpy Fletcher who has completed 20 of 39 passes this year,' Clark's Penquins will probable be, favored over the Wildcats. The Washington Eleven is undefeated thus far this year. Though Notre Dame has been defeated twice this year, .. no one will ever forget the great teams it produced in the past or the colorful stories that have come from them. Stories such this one. At the end of one of Notre Dames best seasons, the captain suddenly burst into tears as he was turning in his suit. The coach asked with amusement, "What on earth have you got to cry about? You're the captain of the best team we've had in years. You're handsome, rich, and have just been voted the most popular man in the senior class. What's wrong, man? "Oh, coach," the player sobbed if I could only read and write!" " Sigma has the inside lane in the intra-mural touch football. In beating the sisters Tuesday, Sig (art appropriate . abbreviation ) now has championship of league 2, League one is still wide open, with Phenix, alpha Roe, Viking and Excellsoir leading the way. Boyd Applegarth has proved one of the best passers ii, the league. Boyd's inspired passes at Chyrll Olsen during Excellsoir's first game can't be beat. (Though I will be when he reads this.) Speaking of basketball, Coach Swenson reports the first basketball practice of the year will be next Monday. Weber has five let-terman men returning this year. These are Larry (Spider) Woods, Don Dinsdale, Base Beech, Dale Gardner and Glen Ashby. Rumors are being spread that Darrel Tucker may return this year. If he does, Swenson should have one of the best teams hejs ever produced. Coach Swenson reports a good crop of freshmen coming from the high schools. Merrill Tribe made a sensible remark while on the way to a poker game last week. It went something like this, "I hope I break even tonight, I need the money." Basketball Tests Starting Monday Basketball is just around the corner and Coach Reed Knute Swenson has named Oct. 30 for the first practice date. A large group of cage artists are expected to turn out for the opening practice with gaining a starting berth in mind.

Many Weber college students will join the thousands of hunters throughout the state. A good season is expected, but many areas will not be at their best because the snow is late ,in driving the deer off the high ridges.
