Show Orange 'Streaks Will Battle Warriors In League Tilt Tonight Doxey Stone May Return to Guard Line For Ogden Five; Both Teams Offers New Strength For Con¬test; Stevenson and Spencer Will Officiate. By AL WARDEN Standard-Examiner Sports Editor W EBER High and Ogden High, traditional athletic rivals, clash at 7:45 o'clock tonight in the Warrior gymnasium, for the second time this season, in a courtfest that promises four periods of stubborn competition. The Warriors are holding down second place in the league percentage column with Ogden a close third. a recent game played at the Weber gymnasium, the "Orange Streaks" spurted in the final periods or play, headed off a belated We¬ber rally, and won a thriller by a single point, 28 to , 27. A victory for Weber tonight will practically insure , the Warriors of a i place in the state I scholastic joust at \ Salt Lake next 5 month, while a t ) defeat will send : the Ogden five into second place. The Warriors have onlv nrip KAPPLE more league battle after the Ogden event of tonight is erased from the schedule, while the Tigers are book¬ed to play Bear River and Davis. PLAY BEARS Dick Thome's athletes close their campaign with a contest at Bear River with Leo Walker's five. Members of the Weber aggrega¬tion are primed xor iour sensa¬tional periods of play. The War¬riors realize that their big oppor¬tunity to compete at Salt Lake for the first time in the history of the school is at stake in this event with Ogden, and this bit of recognition is sure to provide olenty of color to ;he battle. Coach Dick Thorne has not officially an- THORNE on lciany an¬nounced his starting lineup but our guess is that Chandler and McEntire will perform at forwards with Hunter at center. Van Kampen and Baker may start at guards. The game tonight' will be the sec¬ond of the week for Weber. They defeated Box Elder last Tuesday. Ogden High, the real surprise team of the circuit this season, is the "dark horse" of the league. The "Orange Streaks," piloted by Dixon Kapple, are out to capture the We¬ber event and thereby advance in the pennant race. STONE ON HAND The return of Doxey Stone, sensa¬tional guard, to the Ogden lineup, should add new power to the Kapplemen. Stone was one_ of the best guards in the state last season. An ankle injury suffered in the 1929 football season has kept him out of a suit until this week. Coach Kapple was undecided to¬day as to whether Foley or Stone would start at one of the guard po-sitions. He may use both of these stars in an effort to check the scor¬ing capers of the Warriors. Mayer is booked to perform in the other guard post with the elongated Hilton at center. Stitt and Hunter, sensational forwards, are to handle theso two positions. Merlon Stevenson and Sid Spen¬cer. two capable officials, will handle the colorful affair. Weber again rules a slight favor¬ite, but the stubborn Tigers may come through with another victory This bit 'of uncertainty is sure tq add plenty of thrills for the specta¬tors when the teams swing into ac-tion tonight. Feb. 25, 1930 Ogden High School News "None think the great unhappy' but the great."—Edward Young. WEBER WINS Before a great crowd from both schools the Weberites trounced the Tigers 32 to 25. The opponents got the lead at the first and held the upper hand throughout by piling up a big lead in the early minutes of play. During the second half our men played on a par with Weber but could not overcome the advan¬tage of the other team. The cheer¬ing was fine, considering the fact that all the students were not in one mass but scattered throughout the balcony. Les Mayer played an outstanding game, and was, as usual, very good on the defense. Doc Stone gave us some dribbling that made us think of the good old clays of last year when Doc was one of the state's best guards. Hunter, Stitt, and Hilton all played a fine game, but somehow Weber was just a bit better. They deserve congratula¬tions for having a fine, clean team. Better luck next time, mates . We might get in the state tournament yet. Wonders never cease. DEBATING Last week the finals were held for the debating team and six stu¬dents were chosen to compete In the finals. Four of these will be the regulars on the team while the oth¬er two will be alternates, debating in the event of the inability of one of the regulars to debate. The six chosen are Herbert Stewart, Dena Liapis, Preston Mulcahy, Doyle Jen¬sen, Darrel Richards and Dorothy Nelson. We wish the debators much success and hope they will hand out the competitors a number of de¬feats. TIGERS OUT TO GIVE BEARS ANOTHER DEFEAT The game against Bear River will be another crucial game. Providing that someone gives Weber another defeat we might go to the state tournament even now. The team vows that they will avenge our de¬feat against Weber last Friday and are gunning for the Bears. With almost no experience the team turn¬ed out by Coach Kapple this year has worked wonders. They have proved to be the real dark horse this year and every team in the division is rather leary of playing us even though we have lost as many games as we have won. Let's have the entire student body out to see the team go the limit to give Bear Riv¬er another defeat. McEntire-Hunter Are Big Stars; Capacity Crowd Attend Battle Dick Thome Machine Holds Upper Hand Through¬out In Final Meeting of Year With Orange Streaks; Warriors Headed for State Tourney BY AL WARDEN Standard-Examiner Sports Editor W AXED floor artists of the Weber High school triumphed over Ogden High last night, in a spirited game played on the Warrior court, 32 to 25, and advanced a notch nearer a place in the state scholastic cage joust at Salt Lake City in March. The Warriors were superior in every department of play and won handily. Dick Thome's athletes have only one remaining game on the sched¬ule, a four-period affair with Bear River. March 7. The Warriors should take this contest handily. The Weberites took command of the battle last night at the out¬set and were never headed. During the greater part of the game the Warriors held a lead of from six to 10 points. GET EARLY LEAD In the opening quarter Weber liv. anrt ViolH a 13 THORNE traveled at a fast clip and held a 13 to 3 advantage when the gun sounded. In the next period the Tigers spurted to score five points as against four for the winners. The half ended 17 to 8 for Weber. At the close of the third stanza the Dick Thorne courtiers were out in front, 27 to 16. Dick Kapple's Ogdenites played their best brand of ball in the final period. They counted nine points while Weber was adding five to her I total. The Weberites used a short pass¬ing attack and offered a bewildering fiVe-man defense. At times the Ti¬gers were able to solve this method of. attack, but for the greater part' of the game the Red and Black athletes were in command of the situation. Captain McEntire at forward played a whale of a game for the winners. His all-around team play was a big factor in the showing of the Red-Black athletes. Hunter, the elongated center, played his usual strong game at the pivot post and incidentally was the high point man. He collected five buckets and scored an additional point for good measure. Barker on the guard line, and Stratford, a reserve, turned in col¬orful performances for the Dick Thorne five. Van Kampen went out of the game early on personals, and his shoes were filled to perfection by the v iuthful Stratford. Hunter and Hilton carried the scoring capers for the "Orange Streaks." Hilton counted four times from the field and listed two free throws. STITT TWINKLES Stitt played a marvelous floor game, as did Les Mayer. Foley was rushed into the battle late in the contest for the Tigers and gave a nice account of himself. Weber's victory last night gives the two teams an even break for the season. Ogden recently downed Weber, 28 to 27, in a sensational melee at the Weber gymnasium. Red and Black rooters wore a lengthy smile at the close of the battle last night. From Supt. B. A. Fowler down to the students, the supporters of Weber were pleased at the showing of the cagers. "We have had a fine season and I am proud of the boys," said Coach Dick Thorne at the close of the game. "We still have one re¬maining game, and of course must win this to cinch a chance to per¬form a.t Rnit Lake." There could be no argument over the better team last night. Weber had it on the Tigers in every de-partment of play, and deserved their triumph. Ogden has remaining games with Bear River and Davis. A total of 37 fouls were called last night, yet only 11 free throws were scored. The officiating of Spencer and Stevenson was pleasing. The league standings follow: Won. Lost. Pet. Davis 5 1 .833 Weber 5 1 .825 Ogden 3 3 .500 Box Elder 3 4 .427 Bear River 0 6 .000 Davis plays at Box Elder this week end and Ogden entertains the Bear River five. Score: WEBER HIGH G. T. F. P.

DARK, DARK HORSE Who is unaware of the graces that make up the lovely quantities that so entitle our regimental sponsor to be the queen of our Classicalia? Maxine is just the person to rule our hearts the night of March 21. Back Max and have the demurest and sweetest girl in high school for queen. And besides that real gen¬tlemen prefer - brunettes. AUNT JANE Dear Aunt Jane: Who is in charge of the Classi¬calia? I am told that this is the only school function in which the school as a whole does not have a part in the planning and decorating. Do the students as a whole have anything to do with the electing of queen and the forming of the plans? A NON-CLUB MEMBER. Answer: It is true that the clubs are the sponsors of the Classicalia and that they have a big part in its execution. However, a delegation of non-club student body members are on the general committee. The entire stu¬dent body elects the queen in a stu¬dent body convention of delegates elected from the advisory groups. The entire student body votes on the queen and the clubs play no larger a part in this than does the non-club group. The Classicalia is for the entire student body and the money made at the Classicalia goes for the support of the year book and stu¬dent body work. AUNT JANE. |
