Show terest in the college, opened the doors and invited his visitors in. He even smiled with compassion on one, Bob Burton, whose plea to help the blind was rewarded with a generous tip. Student officers mounted the Hall tower and the Purple and White was unfurled at the top of the pole while Lester's band lustily sent the strains of the song vibrating across the square. Game" Advertisers The Phoenix Rally ENTHUSIASM RAN HIGH AT WEBER with the approach of the long anticipated game with Arizona. Once again a national championship was at our doors; this time the decision was to be determined on our own field. Yells almost led themselves. But mere cheers and the display of colors were not sufficient to the new need. The problem of raising two thousand dollars to cover the expenses of this, the real sport classic of Ogden's history, a Western championship football game, had to be met. How it was done, Weberites will never forget. A whole state was divided into districts to which students were assigned. Every business and residence block in Ogden City was canvassed. For two days no classes were held while students and faculty sold tickets. .A ticket selling contest disclosed the fact that there were some real salesmen at the College. Frank Barton easily led with sixty-five dollars for the campaign. Geneveive Checketts, Ruth Hadlock, and Maurine Hinckley were close seconds. Erwin Nelson and Rigby Jacobs did excellent work in the cities to the north and south, respectively. The Ogden Chamber of Commerce backed the school to a man in the big drive, rendering substantial financial aid besides assisting with the advertising campaign. The city officials furnished four large trucks to be used in rally features. They also provided the men and machinery to re- move the snow from the field so that the game could be played. The night of the arrival of the Phoenix team the entire student body marched to the Union Depot to welcome them to the city and escort them to the hotel. |
