in a. baseball game that lasted only
*for three and one-half innings be«
cause of rain, Armour led “Y” Cola
legs 5 to 1 last Friday afternoon. at
Ogden Field. The successful debut
of Weldon, new sophomore hurler,
and the solid base clouting of the
. Tech men were the marked features
of the game.
‘ The batting rampage started in the
‘ first inning when the locals sent the
ball over the fence, and into every
corner of the field. The score at the
end of the first was 5 to 0. Weldon
let the visitors down with two. hits,
one of which, in the third inning, was
coupled with an error to produce the
lone tally of the visitors. If this per:
formance is a true indication of his
ability, he is sure to he called upon
.for a good share of the pitching (in-
ties. At the end of the third, Umpire
Glick called an end to the hostilities
declaring the weather good for noth-
ing but the taxicab business.

New Dirigihle Engine
For Automotive Lola.
A new type of airship engine. re-
ported to be identical to that uséld
on the United States dirigibles Shen-
andoah and Los Angeles, has recent-
ly been added to the collection in the
Gas Engine Laboratory. According-
to Professor Daniel Roesch, who has
charge of the laboratory, the engine
is. one of the very~few of its kind in
existence. It is a six cylinder motor
developing 1200 H. P. It incorpo—
rates the latest developments in dir-
igible motor construction. Each cyl-
inder uses four spark plugs and has
two inlet and two outlet valves. This
arrangement insures almost complete
combustion of the fuel and permits
the use of a much cheaper grade of
fuel without the customary carbon
knock.

Mom; Rare Old Stumps
In Mr. Kelly’s Collection

Since 1899, Mr. Ernest Kelly (Re—
corder in the Office of the Deans)
has been collecting stamps. The
greater portion of his collection is
made up of stamps received from the
lnstitute’s correspondence between
foreign countries. Mr. Kelly has been
assisted by both the faculty and stu—
dent body. Dr. Raymond, on a trip
to BoSton, bought a rare collection of
stamps in a cutie shop of the Old
South Church, which is now in Mr.
Kelly’s possession. Dean Perm has
added a collection from Holland, and
former Dean 'Monin has added one
from Switzerland. From the student
body, E. A. Toopeekoff, ’29, has con-
tributed a collection from Austro-
Hungary and Russia, while J. A.
Bech has assisted him in obtaining a
very interesting collection from
Spain.

Mr. Kelly’s collection is quite com»
prehensive, containing many rare
stamps dating as far back as 1845,
and includes stomps from practically
every country in the world. He finds
his hobby both interesting and in~
structive, and many is the evening
that he has spent at home rearrang—
ing his collection. Mr. Kelly states
that he will gladly assist any students
interested in collecting and exchang—
ing stamps.

Frederick D. Payne, ‘28, who was
last year elected by the student body
to be the most popular man at :12.
mour Tech, was taken suddenly ill
with appendicitis Sunday evening,
April 15, at his home in Haywood.
He was taken without delay to the
Wesley Memorial Hospital, where an
operation was performed. Wednes-
day the reports on his condition were
very favorable. He expects he will
be laid up for about a month.

Payne is probably best known {or

year. For two years he has been
captain of the cross-country team.
In addition to many other honors won
for his speed on the track, Payne has
twice been the winner of the Illinois
Relay Medal, twice of the Pentathlon
Medal, and in 1926 was the winner
of the all—round medal.

His versatility is shown in that he
has also done much work on Ar-
mour’s publications. He was athletic
editor of the Cycle during his Junior
year, and is now the athletic editor
of the Armour Engineer. In. adéi.
tibn to this, he has been an ardent
promoter of the Ar: our Tech News,
and is acting as athletic editor for
the remainder of this semester, until
a capable successor can be found.
Payne is a member of Sigma Kappa.
