Appreciation Often Left Unexpressed Day's Rush Causes Negglect of Duty To Help Others (Ogden High School Notes) VIRGINIA HUNTER, Editor In this day of specialization we often are in so much of a rush to accomplish our own ideals that we neglect to lend a helping hand to our colleagues; much too often we overlook the gratitude we should give others who lend us a helping hand. Everything we have we get through someone else, or through his efforts. No matter how hard we strive for our ends, if we do not have the help of another, we would gain exactly nothing. Too often the person to whom appreciation should be given is the one whose self-ef¬facement discourages one from giv¬ing thanks where it is deserved. Showing appreciation does not call fot that so-called "gushing" com¬monly employed in our midst. Some¬times the opportunity to reciprocate will present itself and our duty, and it should be a pleasure as well, will be to do everything in our power to aid him. STATE CHAMPIONSHIP Last Friday night after a sensa¬tional comeback, Ogden high de¬feated Granite of Salt Lake by one point, 83 to 32. At the half Granite led by 21 to 10, but in the next half , they started to stall in an effort to throw Ogden out of position. This spelled defeat for them. Ogden shot the ball and the score gradually went up till at the end of the third quarter they were tied at 24 all. ! Ogden got the lead in the fourth quarter and maintained it through¬out the rest of the game. This vic¬tory advanced Ogden to the finals . to play against its old rivals Weber. ; This was the first time that two teams from the same city played "for ; the championship and only once before, in 1922 had two teams from even the same district been in the finals. In both cases the district champions have been defeated by the district runnerup to win the state championship. Ogden piled up a lead of six points at the half, but in the third quarter both Kinner and Weir were ejected from the game. This crippled the team se- , verely, and at the end of the four ( periods we were tied at 23 all. Then the game grew exciting. The fel- lows played three extra periods be- - fore Ogden finally came out on top. ; Herman Lehman tied the score with j a foul pitch at the end of the first j extra period, tied it again in the } second with a long shot from the , side and finally converted a setup ' to get the two points in the third , period that won the game. Lehman tossed in both the first and ± last baskets of the tournament. Without a doubt Kinner was the i best performer at the tournament. ± His size, speed, and sagacity com- ined with his ability to toss in the laskets made him the biggest wrin- le in the tournament. Kinner is le all-star guard. Johnny Weir laced on the Tribune's second team _ nd we are proud of these fellows v ad our other A-1 players who sue- eeded in bringing the state championship to Ogden high school. HELE NPARMLEY. DIARY Of A DAMSEL Dream-away Sunday. The oause might have been my oracker bedfellows or even the ham sandwich that didn't survive my midnight feast, but, at any rate, me, myself, and I are all agreed feat the result was that little disturber of the peace, commonly called a night-mare (or a bad dream, if one is fussy;). Lo and behold and other appro¬priate exclamations. What did I see In my deep but more chaos in the halls of our education dispensary than is wont to appear in guch thor¬oughfares at exactly two seconds after the assembly bell has rung. It seemed that the whole idea was the suggestion of some bright in- f_ fant (it must have been a senior) ' for the elimination of pedestrian problems in our hallways. Thank goodness, the contest fiends didn't give her a prize. She might have the idea stuck in her head right now that she is a genius. re A. M. Merrill floated on high in a miniature Zeppelin, while dear J teachers, one and all, pursued their several scholastic courses in ador- able Austins. Would-be seniors , pushed kiddie cars, and the juniors —well, they just tried to look out 5 for themselves. The decorum com- ' mittee composed the school traffic officer force, and for once they came ? in handy. , I awoke, feeling thankful, after all, for good old "Shank's ponies." SUSIE SEVENTEEN. AT CADET HOP " Last Friday evening West high school had its annual cadet hop. This military ball was held at the " Elks home of Salt Lake City. At " one end of the hall was a large table holding all the R. O. T. C. ., trophies. Only the officers were in uniform. This tended to deduct r some of the true military spirit of the event. Only the officers parti¬cipated in the drill during intermis- _ sion. Other than these distinguish- " ing features their dance was much " like our own cadet hop. Officers and their partners from Ogden were . very cordially admitted as guests. J , FAY CARDON. I POSTER CONTEST Be kind to dumb animals, i The Ogden Humane society sponsored a poster contest in which Miss Margaret Minnoch entered. We! _ hope that her poster will be one of I " the finals. Lots of luck to you. j " Also from the art class came the1 . report of Mr. Stewart's talk to the Girls' association at North junior r high school. He displayed many splendid paintings and gave a most a enjoyable talk. Those who heard a the talk, we are sure, look forward to have him speak again. 7 JANET FIFE. A GREAT DAY , What a principal! What a faculty! What a day! The news of our victory thorough¬ly ly aroused us, but we were bowled over by the announcement of our _ principal, Mr. Merrill. In order that " we might celebrate more complete- " ly our new championship and en- ' tertain the noble vanquished of Weber high, he had arranged for a ; matinee dance at the Berthana ; ballroom. Imagine that and it wasn't ' a dream. That wasn't all. Before , we were aware of what he was do¬ing A. L. Glasmann had turned over the entire Paramount theatre to the members of Ogden high ; school. We were given tickets and ' told to enjoy ourselves. To make ; the day more nearly perfectly the faculty members took into account ' our hilarious attitude and lightened J our burden of studies. ! The dance was a huge success, the music perfect and every inch of ; standing, sitting and dancing room ' was taken. The same can be said about the performance at the thea¬tre. The picture was splendid, the spirit high and our hosts perfect. BARBARA KIMBALL. Ogden-Weber Win Praise At Court Tourney Sportsmanship Is Superb; Medals Are Presented; Greenwell Seeks Post. By Al Warden Weber High and Ogden High hoopsters gave the greatest exhibi¬tion of sportsmanship in all Utah athletic history at the 1932 state scholastic joust at Salt Lake last week. The Tigers and Warriors won .lie admiration of ;housands for & h e i r splendid sportsmanship not in any one con¬test, but in every game in which ;hey played. When Ogden was meeting an opponent, Weber Ballif players were back of the Tigers to a man, and when Weber was in the heat of conflict they were urged on to victory by the entire Tiger j squad. In the seven period affair, one of the longest games ever played in the United States, and certainly the longest in Utah cage history, every member of the Weber team patted Bill Kinner and Johnny Weir on the back when they were ushered out of the game on personal fouls. And when the heated battle closed with Lehman tossing in the deciding basket, Mark Baliif rushed over to congratulate Dick Kapple. Members of the Weber team were quick to offer their congratulations to the new champions also. This is a marvelous brand of sportsman¬ship, the brand one reads of and seldom has an occasion to witness. Coaches, critics and fans alike agree unanimously that Weber and Ogden 1 gave the state tournament a thor- j ough lesson in sportsmanship. i "I marveled at the brilliant sports- manship of the two teams," said Coach Dick Romney of the Utah State Agricultural College. "One 1 would have thought that the two teams were from the same school." "I cannot express words fine enough to describe the sportsman¬ship of the Ogden and Weber teams," said Ott Romney, director of athletics at B. Y. U. "It was the best I have ever seen any¬where." .., Ike Armstrong and Vadal Peterson, coaches at Utah University, also praised the fine sportsmanship I of the two finalists. This is just as great a tribute as it is to win the state championship. Publishers of The Ogden Standard-Examiner join the writer in extending, con¬gratulations to both fine aggrega¬tions. MEDALS AWARDED Bill Kinner of Ogden, Joe Fowler of Ogden and Joe Lambert of Web¬er were presented with silver fobs, made of Utah silver, at the Para¬mount theatre last night. The med¬als were awarded by the Deseret News and Standard-Examiner to first team all-state men. Kinner was miles the best center in the tournament while Lambert earned his position beyond any question of doubt. He plays mar¬velous ball. Joe Fowler, the colorful Ogden guard, led the list of guards and was the deciding cog in the final Tiger victory. Kinner, in the opinion of the writer, is the greatest scholastic cen-1 ter of all time in Utah. He hasj every requirement and is always' relaxed on the court. Few athletes possess this unusual quality. In ranking Kinner as the great¬est center of all time the writer includes the famous Glen Smith of L. D. S. fame of 1911, 1912 and 1913. Weir of Ogden, Anderson of Og¬den, Wade of Weber, Greenwell of Weber and Lehman of Ogden were other st'and out players in the un¬usual tournament. PRAISE FOR KAPPLE Psychology of the ninth degree was exhibited by Dick Kapple, Tiger mentor, between the halves of the sensational, unusual, brilliant Ogden Granite game. With the Tigers trailing 11 points at the rest period against the Farmers, the Ogdenites hied to their dressing rooms. The first steps taken by Kapple was to have his men sit down and relax. He told them to forget about the game for a moment or two. Kapple then told the five mem¬bers of the first string that they . had the goods to deliver and that if they would follow his instruc¬tions in the last half that they would trim Gran¬ite. He then diagrammed the defense of the Granitains and told each of his men just what to do. He made sure that every member of the team understood his assignment. By this time the rest Kapple period was over. Kapple patted; each man on the shoulder and as a last message said: "Fellows, you have the stuff, go out and deliver." And everyone knows that they not only delivered but they scored the! most sensational comeback in the! history of basketball in Utah. Kap- ple's psychology had a great deal I to do with capturing this hectic thriller. GREENWELL MAY SPARKLE Howard "Porky" Greenwell, bril¬liant Ogden high trackster of last season, is making a serious bid for a position on the University of Utah track and field team. Greenwell is out for the dash events and is showing tremendous ability. Ike Armstrong, Ute mentor, may make a 440 yard runner out: of the flashy Ogdenite. Last season he won second place j in the century and fourth in the' furlong aTtEe state scholastic meet, j Greenwell has plenty of possibili¬ties and may develop into a second Creed Haymond. The stocky Ogden- its is in training now and plans to enter the indoor tournament for tracksters at Salt Lake next Satur¬day, wearing the colors of Utah University.
