and ocean waters: to extend a hand of greeting and good fellowship from the people of the Rocky Mountains, from Utah, to their brethren, their fellow Americans on the island. Santa Rosa Junior College was the next Weber venture. On leaving, the Californians were vowing what a grand reception Weber would receive when they played next year in Santa Rosa. Friendships like these among the students of colleges will ripen as they enter business relations between the intermountain country and the west coast. Friendly relations are profitable relations, relations that will knit these, communities more closely together as the years go by. So I say Weber College believes football is more than just a game, more than an annual feud to be settled on the gridiron; it is a means for establishing social contacts; for breaking down barriers, prejudices between communities; and promoting good will, friendly relations in the final interest of peace in the world. In Weber because Coach Stevenson teaches his men to play well, hard, and clean; and President Tracy teaches the whole school to carry Weber's good will, her philosophy to other schools, football is finally a character builder fitting students for life's battles. THE SEASON OF 1929 Football at the Wildcat lair in the fall of 1929, excelled all former endeavors in this line. Besides tucking away the Inter-Mountain Junior College championship for the seventh consectuive season, Weber sponsored three intersectional games. With such veterans as Francis Hearn, halfback; Joe Clapier, halfback; Jim Rus sell, fullback; Owen Wangsgard, guard; and the two last year ends, the fiery headed Elton Knapp and the elongated Wallace Peterson; with Albert Saunders, substitute quarterback from last year, Coach Stevenson had a substantial nucleus from which to build another championship grid team. Several newcomers showed up to advantage in the early season practice. Don Chambers, a line man from the Ogden High, and Jim Francis, a hefty fullback, who received all state honors among the high school grid teams last year, won regular berths on the Weber team. Practice started with a will the third of September. By the time school opened there were about twenty men out; a small squad but Coach Stevenson has made Junior College champions out of fewer men than that. Early in October, Mr. Stevenson departed for Logan with the entire group for a practice game with the U. A. C. freshmen. He wished to see just what his men could do; so practically the entire squad saw and experienced action that afternoon. In the first four minutes of play, Young, a Frosh backfield man, got away for a thiryt-five yard run. This capped with ten yard runs by Budge and Cropley of the Frosh team resulted in a touchdown. Crop-ley placed the ball between the uprights for the extra point. Although Weber did not score, she showed tremendous power that needed but polishing to make a real football team. Budge, Moesinger, and Taylor, all former Weber men, played well for the Freshmen. Clapier and Wangsgard were the best bets on the Weber eleven. The following Saturday the squad departed for Provo to match wits and flying feet with the powerful B. Y. U. Freshmen. Boasting a team composed of High School All-State men from one end of the line to the other, the Frosh were listed favorites to give the Wildcats a beating. But the Wildcats who fight until everything is over, gave the Cougar Kittens a real battle. Francis Hearn broke loose for a touchdown, but the kittens did one better and made two. The final score was 12-6. Keith Wangsgard, ex-Weber star, who was playing for the Frosh, at times seemed to forget he had left Weber and caught himself running interference for his old team-mates. October 26th Weber played the second of her home and home games with McKinley of Honolulu. This was played at Lorin Farr Park where over six thousand football fans were in attendance, not counting the hundreds that collected on "Mount Moriah" across the river where admittance is free. Spectators were given a novel treat by the drill of the American Legion Drum Corps, the Union Pacific and Ogden High School bands, the impressive flag ceremonies of the two schools, and the exhibition of bare footed punting and drop kicking by two members of the McKinley team. The McKinley team could boast of no less than seven nationalities among its members. Solomon, "Red" Raymond, perhaps the greatest all around athlete ever developed in the Hawaiian Islands was the outstanding performer of the day. Time and time again this stocky Islander broke away to give exhibitions of broken field running that brought the spectators to their feet. In the first quarter, end runs and off-tackle smashes placed McKinley on the Weber five yard line. The elusive Raymond sifted through to score, and Nagata placed a perfect drop kick between the crossbars for the extra point. At this stage of the game the McKinley coach rushed ten substitutes into the lineup. In the second quarter the Wildcats seemed to find themselves. A long pass from Joe Clapier to Wallace Peterson who over-towered two McKinley players to make the catch, resulted in a gain of fifty yards and put the ball on the McKinley nine yard line. Saunders hit the line twice for no gain, Jim Russell gained two yards, but it was Clapier who smashed and plowed off tackle to score. Weber failed to make the extra point and the remainder of the quarter was mainly a punting duel. In the third quarter, Raymond carried the ball on the kick off to Weber's thirty-five yard line. On the next play he dashed thirty-five yard run. This capped with ten the old Weber fight was very much in evidence. The Weber players humped their backs, dug their shoes into the sod and stopped the mighty "Red" in his tracks for two downs. Nagata likewise was stopped, but on the fourth and last, Raymond wiggled his way through for a touchdown. Nagata drop kicked to tally for the extra point.
