Show Wildcat Gridders, Band, Whip Club Invade Coast; Play Compton ToniteGridders Face Tough Coast Schedule; Band, Whip Travel, Support TeamThe Weber wildcats make their first invasion of California this week when they meet Compton junior college at Compton, California tonight.The Compton "tartars" are rated the best junior college team in the nation and the wildcats are preparing to send them into hiding. Last year, Weber was humbled by the tartars. Theyproceeded to trounce the wildcats 30to 7. One thing that won't hold the ocal boys back is the fact that Compton is twice the size of Weber.Strength in NumbersIf you will recall LACC was also much larger than our Ogden school, and what a shellacing our boys ave them. Thus, the saying, strength in numbers is not always a determining factor, and ;he wildcats would enjoy handing ;he coast team a defeat.Also in the game last year, held n Ogden, the Weber boys grabbed he ball, and in the first five min-utes of play swept the field to score md convert with the extra point. This was the first time in two Jompton seasons that they had Deen scored on first by any team.Two TouchdownsCompton came back in the second quarter with an aggressive and spirited squad. They proceeded to roll up two touchdowns and almost had one more when the gun ivent off, ending the first half.The tartars began to show their fine action in the last even more impressively as they rolled into Weber territory so often that the wildcats really felt at home on their own side of the field.Compton FavoredThe Compton club will be the favorites due to the fact that the Ogden boys will have traveled a long way and are not used to the coast climate. Although with every other evident consideration, the local mentory are expected to sparkle.Glendale contest, Nov. 11, will be a little more in favor of Weber, provided that the wildcats do not sustain any injuries in the game with Compton. They will have had a brief rest and enough time to consider new plays to be used. In short, they will be ready for anything Glendale may happen to turn loose.Band SupportsMuch support will be given the team by the well organized and capable band, under Delmar Dick-son's direction. The. AMS-AWS smoker held last week was a determining factor in the success of the team's jaunt to the coast, because of the money that it provided for the band. |
