Show 24 MONDAY-The party is again taken in hand by the McKinley school, whose resources for diversion seem endless. More new sights, among them the windy Pali. 25 TUESDAY-A day of much importance, not the least of which is Christmas. Everyone evinces great surprise that his stocking is well filled. Now there aren't any chimneys in Honolulu. Then the game of the U. of Oregon versus the U. of Hawaii, and last but not least, the last day on the island. 26 WEDNESDAY-A last dip in the ocean, all say good-bye to friends, and a last Aloha from Hawaii. 27 THURSDAY-"Just a time for reminiscing." 28 FRIDAY-Everybody in general: "Well I surely intend to come back." 29 SATURDAY-The sea is rough, but there is very little seasickness. It's fun to let the sea spray blow against your face. 30 SUNDAY-The S. S. Malola passes on the starboard side at noon. President Tracy sights a gamboling dolphin. 31 MONDAY-"Ring out the old, ring in the new-" Did you ever see a sun- rise aboard ship? JANUARY 1 TUESDAY-Most everybody sleeps well past noon, then up for a turn about the deck, dinner, and dance. It is the last night aboard ye good ship Wilhelmina. 2 WEDNESDAY-The landing is delayed until noon by a dense fog. 3 THURSDAY-California sunshine and a delightful trip to Stanford University. They have an enrollment of 1500 boys and 500 girls. Wonder why the girls like the school? 4 FRIDAY-Eva: "What on earth can I take home to so and so? I bought this bag in Honolulu, but I just can't give it away." 5 SATURDAY-What is that the wheels of the train are saying so merrily? "Going home, going home, going home." BASKETBALL TWO weeks after the Purple and White hoopsters should have donned the abbreviated trunks and jersies, the major portion of this year's squad landed in Ogden slightly sea and pullman sick and too excited to get down to real work until they had seen the town again. Delt faced a real problem when he stepped from the train, but he wasted no time in finding a solution for it. From the masses of material that reported for practice the first afternoon, Bramwell chose a large squad which he cut down as the season advanced. With legs still wabbly from the boat and train ride, the Weber Basketeers opened the season with a Founders Day cagefest. The Spirit of Weber must have turned over on his throne when he saw Weber drop behind the Knights of Columbus' fast team at the half. The spirit must have smiled broader, how- ever, at the rally so ably staged by the Wild- cats in the last three minutes of play which brought the Purple from behind to lead at the final gun by the rather surprising score of 36 to 27. The dance which followed was as good as the game. For detail, see the social section. At this point the B. Y. U. began to feel just a little sure of themselves and challenged the Wildcats to a practice game. Their challenge was accepted, and the Standard tells the story: WEBERITES SHOW POWER IN GAME WITH PROVO CAGERS; PURPLE HOOPSTERS COME FROM BEHIND; THIRD AND FOURTH PERIOD SPURT GIVES BRAMWELL MACHINE VICTORY IN CLASSY CONTEST AT WEBER GYM; KNAPP TOPS SCORERS; JENSEN STARS FOR VISITORS. Ooooo la la! What a game! Not to be outdone, the Weber warriors journeyed through the land of Zion, the land of Lehi, and into the land of the Provoites. Perhaps it was the atmosphere that affected the team or it may have been other things: be what it may, the Ogdenites were a little dizzy on their basket shooting and finished about nine points behind the men from Provo. And then came the big grind. With the salt shaken from their feet and the shakiness gone from their legs, Delt and his co-workers faced the task of hurdling the first big obstacle in the race for a tournament position. Before a packed gymnasium the Albion players took the floor and made their customary circle of the playing court before warming up. The hall resounded as the Albion players took the floor, but as Captain Moesinger led his huskies into the hall it actually shook. Who didn't shed a tear as the team lined up; the good old Weber Banner was raised while the student body stood to sing "Purple and White." The strains of that song seemed to sink into the blood of every member of the team. Did they fight? And did Albion fight? Let the score be the indication. At the half the score stood even. At the end Weber led by 41 to 23. One less curve to turn. Milton Rawson was introduced at this time as assistant athletic manager, and the team proceeded into the Ricks game. From Rexburg came one of the hardest teams to defeat in the division or for that matter in the state. Battle, battle! Oh you Weber! Rrrr, Rah, rah, rah for the Purple!-Come on team! Atta old fight! and the next day, WEBER TAKES FAST CAGEFEST FROM RICKS FIVE; WILDCATS STAGE FAST GETAWAY. MOESINGER AND PARKINSON TWINKLE. And again Delt was happy. Our warriors left for the far north and the College Inn became a miniature stock exchange. Ed Hall became the center of attraction as he received the reports of the Albion game. "Fifty- |
