FAVORED TO WIN TODAY'S TILT

 

 

The Armour cagemen will again
experience a busy weekend when
they take to action in two momentum
bearing conflicts. The first tilt will
be staged at the Armory, 35th and
Giles, tonight. DeKalb will serve
as guests to the local cagemen.

Take on “Y” College

The second tilt will take place at
the “Y" College gym and none other
than the well-reputed quintet of
“Y’s” will oppose the Krali‘tsmcn.

thus far this season, but they are now
determined that the bugaboo of de-
feat shall not cross their ambitious
paths again during the remainder of
the season. Now since the Armour-
ites have broken the jinx that has
hampered their progress since the
Crane College game, they’ve resolved
to turn a new chapter in the book of
“Conquests and Flops” and concen-
trate on the chapters that pertain to
the “conquest” idea.

The first preliminary exercise for
the 22nd Paris Prize of the Sought}!
of Beans-Arte Architects will be
judged January 1'7, 1929. The sen—
ior architectural students of Armour
have entered the competition. Five
competitors and two alternates will
be selected from this exercise to em
ter the second preliminary exercise
with twenty exempted competitors.

The first preliminary exercise re-
quires the solution of a problem in
elementary design, either exterior or
interior, completely executed in
twelve consecutive hours. The sec—
ond preliminary will require the solu-
tion of a problem in planning a large
building or group of buildings, com—
pletely executed in twenty—four con—
secutive hours. Eight competitors
will be selected from this last excr-
cisc to enter the first stage of the
finals.

The final exercise is divided into
two stages, (a) The exercise for the
preliminary sketch, and (b) The final
development and rendering of this
sketch. The final preliminary sketch
is open only to the eight competitors
selected in the second preliminary,
and will require the solution of a
problem in advanced design, execut-
ed to the point of a clear interpretm
tion in 36 consecutive hours.
