Engineers Determined To
Break Losing
Streak

At 5 P. M. this evening our deter—
mined cagemen will venture in the
season's third interschool basketball
game when they come in contact with
the Chicago Normal quintet at the
Armory Gym. ..

As late Coach' Krafi‘t’s somewhat
abused baske‘tballers have been con-
centrating deeply on their next move.
Two defeats in as many starts
against other schools have caused
them to sit up and notice a few
things that might be worth while
learning if they expect to climax the
story that relates their inauspicious
early season record.

Third Defeat is Menace

A couple of setbacks in a course
of a whole season comprising fifteen
games is nothing to snarl at if that
is all the misfortune that awaits
them. But the worst of the matter is
that a third jolt is working up its
voltage to jar our engineers tonight
——and that game dawns in as a good
source for worry.

Play League Champs

Last year Chicago Normal College
won the undisputed first placoflstand-
ing in the Northern Illinois league.
That quintet turned back every op-
ponent and finally settled their su—
perimity with Crane College, the
unnersnup. .

This year they again enter the field
with inclinations to repeat their pen
formance, for they have their veter~
an eight-man lineup. Incidently this
is a bit of information that does not
appeal to the local boys for they can
rest assured that Chicago Norma
will offer some stubborn competition.

Engineers Short of Weight

Since our Engineers are handi-
capped by the lack of weight they, of
course, don’t look forward to travel-
ing on a path filled with roses, but
rather one that is less scenic and is
obstructed with clusters of thorns.
The best things, however, come via
the hardest route and although the
Armourites may have to scramble in
a thorn bush for the much coveted
string of victories, they neverthe—
less will achieve something of value.

Dame games, although lost by a good

Sphinx 'll‘risngle At
ll/l ll. blot Same As little

The local honorary lite1a1y frater—
nity, Sphinx, and the Armour chap—
ter of the Triangle fraternity wish
it to be understood that they are in
no way connected with the recent
initiation held by fraternities of the
same name at the University of Mich-
igan, in which three men were scold-
-cd. The Sphinx fraternity at Mich-
igan is also local honorary fraternity,
but the Triangle at Ann Arbor is a
local honorary junior engineering
society and bears no relation to the
social fraternity of the same name,
according to word received by the lo<
cal chapter from Dean Bursely, Dean
of Students, at the University of
Michigan.

Michigan Fraternity Suspended

The committee on student afi'airs
at Michigan placed the honorary so-
ciety, Sphinx, under indefinite sus-
pension i'ollowing the investigation
of charges that liquor was used in
their recent initiation ceremonies in
which three students were scolded.
The individual members ofi the fra-
ternity are allowed to attend classes
pending investigation. The commit-

tee also passed a rule that no public
initiations could be held hereafter
without the written permission of the

     

After holding the Seniors at bay
for the greater part of the game,
with the exception of the last four
minutes of play, the Freshmen finally
succumbed to the Seniors’ spurt, and
thus allowed their golden opportun-
ity of establishing themselves as
clas 5 champions to fade

lilo Misses Armour;
liew Students Absent

The flu epidemic which is making1
such headway all over the country
seems to be leaving Armour Tech
quite unscathed. Figures gathered
by the Deuns‘ office regarding ab-
scncos show very few cases of the
illness among the students, ccitainly
not enough to walrant dismissal of
classes as was .l'ound necessaiy in
many colleges, as the University of
Chicago and Carnegie Institute of
Technology.

Faculty Members Back
Professor E. H. Freeman, head of
the Department of Electrical Engi-
neering, was back to his classes Mon-
day morning after an illness of more
than a week. Professor )3. B. Freud
was also hack 1.0 his desk Monday
morning, after a short illness.

@N CALENDAR

 

Bids for the Junior Informal, to
be held January 18 in Lhc Dutch
Room of the Hotel Bismark, are now
on sale. These tickets may be pro—
cured from members of the various
social committees or from a repre-
sentative of the Junior Class who
will be in the school library between
the hours of one and two P.M. daily.

According to R. .l. Serson, social
chairman, the dance promises to be 11
real allair, and those who aLtcnd are
due for a “large evening.” Several
novelties and innovations have been
planned for the entertainment of the
crowd.

The “Chicago Rhythm Kings", 11
popular Brunswick recording orches—
tra, has been engaged to furnish the
music. This organization, which is
making its first Chicago appearance
in several months, is now playing at
the Book-Cadillac Hotel in Detroit.

There have been several thefts
from student cars this semester and
to date those responsible for the fol-
onies have not been apprehended.
Deon Palmer has requested the stu—
dents not to leave their coats 0r oth-
er valuables in their autos. The jun.
iors and seniors have the privilege of
using lockers for their property,
while the underclassmen have the
free use of the cloakroom.

Four of these unpleasant happen»
lugs have occurred so for this semes»
tar, and in most instances the cars
have been damaged in addition to
having the valuables stolen. The 2111~
iomo‘oiles should be parked in the
parking space provided at the south
end of the Main Building, Where a
watchman is kept on duty. Doors
should be locked, 11nd nothing that
would tempt theft should be left in
the car.

which featured close guarding every

time an opponent thr atenerl to score.
Of the three games played, this con-
flict was the most hotly contested in
the class elimination program just
completed. The Freshmen, by virtue
of their triumph over the Sopho-
mores, earned the right to play the
Seniors who had previously eliminat—
ed the Juniors. .
Varsity Represented on Both Squads
This year’s collection of Freshman
material is the best in years. Their
personnel, including such men as
Carlson, Billings, and Stalzer, who
bore the brunt of the Freshman at-
tack, features an unparalleled aggro
gation of yearling court cnvorters.
Carlson was the big gun in the Fresh~
man lineup and incidentally captain
of his team. This product of Coach
liralit’s varsity team kept his oppon-
ents guessing time and again with
his brisk pivoting and clever passing.
The stately Seniors took no blows
of adversity in upholding; upper—class
tradition, which obligates them to
maintain their predecessor’s historic
achievements. Three varsity men,
Jimmy Fcc, Goodheart, and Jillson,
enabled them to attain the premier
distinction. Aside from these three,
Dawson, Stellar, Jennings, and Gus-
sidy provided plenty of action in

t their struggle for victory.

Jennings Hugs Spotlight

Jennings, Armour‘s versatile oths
lcte, assumed the spotlight in the
Senior’s attack, and his services were
exploited to the total of three bas-
kets and two free throws. His keen
cage eye together with his unfailing
aggressiveness urcatly menaced the
opposing team's prospects.

All prc~seuson prophecies favored
the Seniors, while only 1.1 ‘l'cw placed
the Freshmen as probable contend-
ers for the finals. Yet despite the
stories and rumors that prevailed.
the Fresh nearly upset the dope
bucket. In fact they gave it such 11
wullop that the echo sounded during
three quarters of the game.
