Tigers Oppose Warriors In Court Flareup Friday WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 16, 1929, Hectic Tilt Looms In Opening Battle Weberites Hold City Championship in Cage Play; Both Teams Bid For 1929 Honors in Ogden Sector; Hales-Harbertson Star For Streaks By AL WARDEN Standard-Examiner Sports Editor IT ALL depends on how the Warriors rise to the occasion. That, in brief, describes the situation at the Weber gym¬nasium Friday night when Dick Thome's Weber High hoop¬sters start defense of their 3928 city title. Battling the "Orange Streaks" of Ogden High, the Warriors are fac¬ing as tough an assignment as they will be called up¬on to tackle this year, and much depends on how the boys rally 'round the old banner Friday. It is the first of a two-game series between the two city fives. The second game will be played later in the season on the Weber court. Starting time is 8 o'clock sharp. Last year there were better bas¬ketball teams in the Ogden division than the We¬berites. However, the Red and Black cagers had a habit of rising to the occasion to make these better teams "look bad." If they can do that again this season they will be serious contenders for the division flag. You can't beat a team that refuses to be flabber¬gasted by the other fellowr's repu¬tation, and that's the way the We-berites went about their task last year. BEAT BEARS Dixon Kapple's Tigers triumph¬ed over the Bear River five last week in their opening shot, 28 to 2 2, in a hotly contested battle. Weber, on the other hand, fell before I the polished quint of Box Elder, 32' to 27. This contest was sensation¬al from the first to final whistle. Coach Dick Thorne is well pleased with the showing of his men to j date and expects his charges to put up a spirit¬ed battle-against the Tigers. The "Orange Streaks" will start the Weber battle with Greaves and Harbertson at forwards, Hales at center and Chambers and Stone at guards. Greaves and Chambers are the veterans of the squad. Har¬bertson is a "shark on long and short shots and plays a splendid floor game. LENGTHY CENTER Hales at center towers well over six feet and should give the Tigers a decided advantage in tipping the ball at center. He is ajo a consistent scorer. Davis opens her 1929 schedule with Bear River on the Kaysville court. Al Warden and Malcolm Watson will handle the Ogden-Weber game and Cullimore and Woolley will be in charge of the classic at Kays¬ville. Ogden . .

What will we do? What will we do? We'll do it to old Weber, too. That's what we'll do. And that bus load of boosters that went to Bear River knows what we mean! The Tigers will come out of the jungle next Friday to put their claws against anything the Weber High Warriors have to offer in the way of basketball tactics. The game will be played on the old battleground at the Weber gymna¬sium and the largest crowd in his¬tory is expected to be on hand to view the fray from rafter, rail and racetrack. It is our first home game, students, and let's try and show Weber at least half as much courtesy as Bear River showed us. Our 28-22 victory over the Bears was a pleasant beginning and we are going to keep our record clean. Bring on the Warriors! TO WEST POINT Ogden High has again been hon¬ored with the announcement of Representative Colton's choices for appointments to the United States military academy. Charles Dunn, '29, and Gordon Larson, '28, are the cadets named from Utah to enroll at West Point this coming fall. Huber Earle, '29, also from O. H. S., is named as first alternate. The cadets from Ogden High at West Point have established a creditable record and much is always expected of a stu¬dent from this school who en¬ters the army institution. We feel perfectly at ease with the selection of "Gord" and "Chuck" to carry out these expec¬tations and they carry our best wishes for an honorable and suc¬cessful career. GORGAS MEMORIAL ESSAY The announcement of the Gorgas memorial essay contest for the Charles R. Walgreen prize is brought to high school.

'23 and '25, are visiting in Ogden for a few days on leave of absence from the United States marines. -Ed will complete his four years' service in September and Virgil In Novem¬ber. Their experiences in the ma¬rine service have been almost iden¬tical. Both have served as presi¬dent of the electoral board in Nicaragua and they were alternate orderlies for President-elect Hoover on his recent good-will cruise aboard the Maryland. MUSIC NOTE Dear Editor: The following item is concerned with the music department. A series of similar articles will be written. These ar¬ticles are written to encourage stu¬dents to investigate the music de¬partment of this school. We are doing this as a part of our greater music enrollment campaign, as we need as much talent as possible to produce this year's greatest attrac¬tion, the opera. This production calls for a big cast and a good one: so we hope that you will extend your co-operation to us in this mat¬ter. Very truly yours, HUBER EARLE, General Manager. "Opera has a strong educational value in it that develops the musi¬cal taste of the public as well as teaching lessons in history and hu¬manities in a very forceful man¬ner," declares Mme. Frieda Hempel, one of the outstanding musical authorities of the day. One can readily see the truth in this statement, and so to put into practice, the music department this year is offering an opportunity to achieve this truth. The opera this season will open an experience of recognized value to each and every one who realizes the opportunity about to be presented. As a word of advice, you will find it well worth your time to investigate this matter. OUR HALL OF FAME We nominate to our hall of fame Ruth Roberts, because she is another favored red-head; because she will never tell what she left in California; because after five doc¬tors had given her up she was cur¬ed by one bottle and she felt bet¬ter after the first dose; because Bill requests that she be nominated. Virginia Rose; because she says that early to bed and early to rise makes one horribly dull; because she aspires to be a housewife; be¬cause she got her picture in the paper when her fallen arches were cured by yeast; because she has never said, "I'll tell you, if you won't tell anyone." And John McCrumm, because (as the poets say) boys will be boys; because he declares that a true confession is good for about $50; because he wonders who this guy "Fantastic" Is, who gets tripped by everybody; because he said something we didn't quite catch about those Idaho girls. AUNT JANE Dear Aunt Jane: There has been some talk to the effect that a few juniors deliberately attempt¬ed to boycott the Christmas dance. We want to contradict this rumor which has no base. Some of us have excuses, for a few had to work, but the rest of us have not. But att he time we did not realise what we were doing and the only thing to do is to apologize and pledge ourselves to attend every dance from now on or have a good excuse for not doing so. P. S. We apologize for our ref¬erence to the morals and manners of the seniors in our letter to Aunt Jane. BEECHER McCONNELL, DAVID MATTSON, DEE BRAMWELL, HENRY AIKEN, HORACE G. NEBEKER, HAROLD IPSON. Dear Gentlemen: Again, your attitude is commendable. Now that you've pledged yourselves to attend every dance, something just must be done about the Accolade. AUNT JANE. JANUARY 17, 1929.

COUNCIL When order was finally brought from the chaos of the would-be council meeting, it was discovered that "We Thirteen" wanted a party. Their request was granted, and their initiation will be held on Saturday. The social committee proposed that after every basketball game a dance should be held. It was mov¬ed and seconded that a commit¬tee be appointed to confer with Mr. Merrill on the sdbject. The motion was, carried and President Corry appointed Mr. Bramwell, Mr. Fowles and Mr. Carver to go and see Mr. Merrill. After a short consultation with the principal, while council awaited their deci¬sion, the committee decided to abandon the idea. Council then adjourned. —Jeanette Morrell. Secretary. CONGRESS Congress met last Monday night as usual. One of our senators was sick so we did without our debate. All the other senators contributed some current topic, so our meet¬ing was quite interesting. Next week we are sure of a debate, and one the week after that, so all or anyone may come and listen every Monday at 7:30 p. m. in room 103. FORUM At the regular meeting Monday night there were two separate de¬bates. The question which received cio much argument was resolved "The the Kellogg peace pact be rat¬ified by the United States." In the first debate the negative convinc¬ed the judsres that the pact should not be ratified. The arguers for this round were Mr. Carver and Mr. Jackson sup¬porting the pact, and Mr. Dunn and Mr. Johnson opposed Kellogg's plan.
