Weber vs. Albion WEEKS of hard practice rounded out for Weber a team admirably trained, sincerely determined to make a successful record in basketball. The results of the initial game held in the Weber gymnasium against Albion Normal gave Weber the early impetus of a victory and demonstrated the well-balanced efficiency of the team. Price and Irvine carried the brunt of the attack in this game scoring at will over the Idaho five. The final score was 44 to 13. Weber vs. L. D. S. The second contest of the 1926-28 season was also played in the Weber gymnasium, the contestants being L. D. S. of Salt Lake, and Weber College of Ogden. The Saints completely engulfed the Weberites in the first quarter which ended with a large score for the former. But the "Wildcats" fought on with dogged determination; and by the end of the third quarter the teams were deadlocked. Clarke was carried out at this stage of the game because of an accident, and but for the commendable sportsmanship of "Wid" Ashton, L. D. S. athletic director, our team might have weakened. The result, 32 to 28 for Weber, indicated the intense degree of the competition. Price and Budge were the shining lights for Ogden, while Magleby starred for Salt Lake. Weber vs. Ricks The game with Ricks College demonstrated the individual scoring ability of two of our players, Price, who made a total of 15 points, and Bobby Weir, who scored 8 points. These two aces "just dropped 'em in at will." Credit is also due the unusual team work of the Weber five. Of the Rex- burg group, Ricks and R. Berret were the outstanding players, although their efforts failed to overcome their opponents' substantial lead. The final score was 31 to 18 for Weber. Weber vs. Ricks With the season half over Weber took to the road, meeting Ricks again this time at Rexburg. The game was the major attraction of "Home- Coming Week," held annually in that community and, with the enthusiasm of their townspeople backing them, the Ricks players loomed as strong con- tenders for the victory. Undaunted, the Weberites weathered the deter- mined assault of Ricks and after a second "Saintstyle" game waltzed from the floor, victors by a single point, as indicated by the 23 to 22 point majority. Weber vs. Albion The team then journeyed to Albion and met the Albion State Normal for the second time of the season. This game brought to Weber its first defeat, although a victory was won from the standpoint of sportsmanship and effort. Powell and Williams starred for Albion, which scored 28 points, and Price was outstanding for Weber, which established a total of 20 points. Weber vs. L. D. S. The final game of the season was played at Salt Lake against L, D. S. before a small crowd. Although the contest was comparatively slow the 23-17 score, which was in favor of Weber, indicated the balanced abilities of the two teams. This game brought to Weber her first league championship in basketball, won only through the self-reliant efforts of her players and through the enthusiastic support accorded by her student body. Weber vs. Idaho Tech A non-league game with Idaho Tech was played February 19 in the Weber gymnasium. The first half ended 21 to 9 with Weber in the lead. During the second period Tech came back determined to redeem herself, and but for the steady and accurate playing of Weber might have succeeded. Richie of Tech, and Irvine of Weber, were the outstanding stars. Their combined personal score totaled 27 points. The final score was 31 to 25 for Weber.
