Fager Four statesman. is: sesame sensor. scour tiMhttGil’l‘ Halt Hundred’s Training Rigor To Demand Daily Workout Coach Krafi't’s varsity basketball squad, composed of some forty—five earnest toilers, is making rapid ad< vancemcnt on the road to progress which bears all indications of being the most scenic since the sport gripped the school. One week of practice brought out four score determined candidates, who boasted of possessing basketball talent and experience. Most of the candidates possessed certain traits that add to the list of qualifications, but their appearance brought on a great deal of problems that had to be contended with. The most per— plexing of these was making the mythical selection of the best per- formers. ‘ After the boys spent several eve- nings loafing on the oblong, Kraift set out to observe their ways and tac- tics of play. As a result of his dis- crimination, a score of applicants, who rated a little below par were weeded out but there is still a regi— ment left to select from. There are a large number of pros- pects who show good form, speed and alertness. Krufi‘t will concentrate on developing them until they fulfill all qualifications and display proficiency in the art of handling the pig—skin. Another Week On the Home Floor The boys will be put through a week’s practicing at Armour and thence they will move their head- quarters to the Armory. At the end of that time, the new machine is ex- pected to function flawlessly and carry itseli through the most success— ful campaign ever inaugurated at Ar~ mour. Stellar, ’29, and Olson, ’30, at present, are looked forward to as two of the most promising candidates to represent the gold and black on the local oblong. They have been ca- vorting on the floor in a very plaus- ible manner and give pomise of being important cogs in the new machine. . Play Natre Dome in December Recent bookings by Cal Johnson have put three more games on the gold and black schedule. Most no— table of these is the game with Notre Dame on December 10. This gives the local outfit another month to get in shape for that important contest. In addition, a home and home series has been booked with Chicago Nor— mal. Chicago Normal invades Ar- mour Dec. 20, and Armour returns to Normal, Jan. 23. Aoristant Mai-auger Not Yet Chosen Krafit is confronted with a prob— lem in picking an assistant manager for the team. He has four men to choose from and each one seems cap- able of handling the job. He an- nounces, however, that he will not make a choice before the Christmas holidays. The LaGrange cross country team failed to make its appearance at. the Bartlett Gymnasium for the meet scheduled for Saturday, November 3; consequently, Armour was declared victor by forfeit. ln order that it might be somewhat compensated for Total Honor “A” Member- ship 1630; Dates To 1909 The Honor “A" Society held its, in- itial meeting of the season last Fri-~ day, November 2, in Science Hall. Attention was brought to the fact that every Thursday is Honor “A” Day and every member is held to wear his letter at least on that day. Its membership, including active and alumni, amounts to 160 with some memberships dating as far back as 1909. The diagram on this page shows the charms that are worn by the members of the society. These are 10 K. gold watch charms, and a star on the charm indicates the sport in which the member has received his letter or letters --by the location of that star on the “A.” The subject of awards and the idea of changing of the manager awards to those similar (0 other colleges and universities‘was also discussed. An alumni reunion is being planned, the idea being to have the alumni basket- ball game sponsored by the society, with a banquet or smoker afterward at one of the fraternity houses, to awaken the athletic spirit at Armour. The following men were taken in— to the society at this meeting: Charles T. Link, ‘31 (minor), baseball, '28. Donald J. Paul, ’30, track, ’28. Clarence J. Robin, ’31, baseball, ’28. William King Simpson. ’30, basket- ball, ’27, baseball, ’27, '28. Edward John Stehno, baseball, ’28. John R. Yount, ’29, baseball, ’28 (minor), track, ’28.

Last yearWScud" played with the C. A. A., while Bill . played with the Dufi’y Florals. Both Kuffel and Downes are letter men in baseball and basketball. In another week or two practice will be held in the Armory at 35th and Giles. The team will practice ‘rerery night after school then instead of three nights a Week as at present. About eight games will be played at home and the team deserves YOUR support. Surely, if they can sacrifice five nights a week to practice, the student body can turn out once a week for a game. luZumelmmnmomnmumnmmmuwv .3, FOR QUALITY AND LOW , PRICES, EAT AT mmwnwww INDIANA and 318i: STREET § n _ tee. suits this ye stack up with anymore {web it.
