20 ACORN not lacking in material, and the chances look good for a winning team, though it will be composed of entirely new men. All of last year's team are on missions with the exception of Toone, who is working on his father's ranch in Idaho. Among the most promising of the new men trying out are Belnap, Wilde, Bassett, Barlow, Bowen, Bingham, Harris, Richards, Grix, Shupe, Monson and the two Ferrins. The first game scheduled for this year is with the Alumni team, which will be composed of some of the old stars of former teams of the school. Such men as Brown, Jensen, McKay, Torgeson, Hobson, Watson and Anderson. This game will give the coach a good idea of the strength of this year's team, and will also give the students a chance to see them in action. The Alumni will be out in force to root for their team, and unless the old stars have forgotten their old time form and skill, the game should be a close one. The Class Series The first games of the class series were played during the last week of October, between the Juniors and the Freshmen, in which the Juniors won both games. The Seniors and Sophomores played three games; the Sophs won the first, but the Seniors the second and third. The scores in these games were very close, and every team played good ball. ALUMNI The Alumni Association appreciates this opportunity of sending greetings to the Student Body of Weber, to wish them success in their study and in all activities of student life. We heartily congratulate the 1913-14 Student Body officers on their inauguration of a Student Body ticket to enable all students to participate in the benefits of the Lecture Course, in the social and athltic life at such a nominal price. We think the value of such cannot be over-estimated, and anticipate with pleasure the time when every student shall take advantage of these opportunities as a regular part of school. Friday, November 21, is to be known as Alumni Day at Weber. The Alumni Association under the direction of its able president, Mr. Kasius, will conduct a program during the morning hour. A basket ball game will attract the attention of the crowd at 8 o'clock and an informal reception for the members will follow. Some of the "stars" that have made Weber famous in athletics are to be on the floor to make the youngsters hustle to decide whether or not they have the right to stay. Stanley A. Purrington, a graduate of '11, has offered a set of Shakespeare's works to the best contributor to the Literary Department of the "Acorn." Story writing is an art that we hope many students are interested in, and that more should be interested in. Our own new country of Utah is still thick with thrilling stories of pioneer life that ought to be r ecorded. Students, get some of these from your fathers or grandfathers and mothers, write them as beautifully as you can and your lives will be enriched for the effort. "After Weber, what then?" is the important thing to every student. Many of our boys have this question answered for them. Boyd Lindsay, Spencer Heiner, Morgan McKay, Arias Belnap and Robert Jones left during the month of November to fill missions in foreign lands. We wonder if we shall soon be hearing of basket ball games among the saints in Europe. However, the lessons in team work will doubtless be very helpful to them.
