Page Four ARMOUR TECH NEWS Tuesday, April 9,. 1929' Baseball team @pens Season on Thursday Crane College to Furnish First Opposition Thursday afternoon Armour will open its baseball season of 1929 with the first game of the season at home on Ogden Field, against Crane College. Crane College has enjoyed suc— cess in all of its sports during the past year and promises to be a favorite in baseball this season. Competition will be stiff. Coach Krafft is looking forward to a hard game, yet he expresses no fear. He has practically picked his regular staff and feels as though they look much like a championship outfit. Armour lln First Game Since the team will experience its maiden voyage nothing of great importance can be said of its abil— ity but the results of the first game are expected to tell the. story. It is not known just who will pitch Thursday, but it is probable that Stehno will fling Armour’s first ball. Stehno performed bril— liantly for Armour last year and if he can repeat his performance or perhapseven improve on it there is no doubt but what Stehno’s curves will alone baflle the op- ponents. King Simpson probably will be kept in reserve, for his services will be desired in the University of Chi~ cago game. Robin on First Base Robin is designated for the first sack. He is an able hitter and can pick the ball out of the atmosphere with perfect ease. The second base will be occupied by Reichle, who can perform well at the shortstop position and is noted for his abil- ity to stop the ground balls. Walden will be situated at short— stop. Captain Gent will guard the hot third base; Hauser, Jennings and Cassidy are looked forward to, to patrol the outer garden while John Yount will receive the pitch— ers’ slants. This line—up will prob— ably take action in the initial in— nings. Krafit will probably call on others to replace the starters in the later frames. A game with the University of Chicago on the 16th follows the Crane game. ‘ Beck tennis tallest Sport at Nebraska U. A new sport is coming into the limelight at the University of Ne- braska. This game is called deck tennis which is played on the vol~ ley ball courts of the institution. The scoring system in deck ten- nis is similar to our style of tennis. But instead of using a ball and racket, rings of rubber are thrown over the net and the members of the opposite side endeavor to pre- vent the rings from falling into the point yielding areas. This sport, however, is a great deal faster than tennis, and it re- quires quick thinking plus a great deal of cleverness. The players are compelled to do a lot more running in trying to stop and throw the ring with their hands. Obdience to the biddings of mem— bers of a fraternity at the Univer- sity of Wisconsin caused one of their pledges to be brought to court. A policeman accosted the freshman and inquired his inten- tions. The pledge, needing the warnings of the Greeks, remained on “silence.” For his good inten— tions he was haled into court. University of Washington.—-A student of this University makes a 90—mile trip each morning to an 8 o’clock class for which he is always on time. He makes use of two street cars and a train in this daily jourm ney. He is able to do much study- ing en route, as, he says, “Nobody disturbs you.” Wrchins Dance When Lures! By Pennies A lunch hour crowd of interested students last Friday amused itself by tossing pennies to a varied as— sortment of neighborhood colored urchins who attempted to enter~ tain by dancing. From reliable sources it has been found that even Stan Livingston was so pleased at their antics that he tossed out a handful of coins. A few cents thrown to the first two darkies on the scene soon drew a number of others who scrambled, jumped, and kicked to pick up the valuable pieces of change. Showers of chalk and coins dropped into mud puddles; passing automobiles began to complicate matters, but the sport went on. Eager hands were thrust into the mud and mad dashes were useless when it was found that only chalk was thrown. However, the Armour men proved generous and continued to reim— burse the children until the bell rang for the 1 o’clock classes. Two Scotchmen died of envy when they witnessed the scene. Illinois Belt” Swamps A. I. T. Riflcrs 8863’- 759 The American Rifle Club lost to the Illinois Bell Telephone sharp— shooters last Friday by the score of 886 to 759.

CAMPUS SPIES University of Denver.——Five stu- dents, selected for their abilities to uncover campus gossip, have been put on the staff of the Denver Clarion as an aid to the column writer. A warning of the presence of the “Five Unseens” has been duly posted. The senior mechanical engineers of the University of Nebraska have an avowed intent of being the only one hundred per cent moustached class to graduate this June. Stu— dents of other departments having moustaches do not want to part with them and are sorry to find that there is no law to prevent shaving them off. Excessive drinking during the home—coming celebration at Colo— rado College last month has caused a ban on all formal social events except the Junior Prom, for the res maindcr of the college year.

In the only match played since the last issue, Winkler defeated Trognitz 6-1; 6-2 and will meet the winner of the Nebel—Manz match. Asphalt courts are the only ones available, which accounts for the slow prog- ress of the tournament. These are located at Hamilton and Chopin parks. The work on the Tech courts was started last week and with some good breaks they should be open in a week. Meanwhile the candidates are signing up with coach Tibbals and carding appointment matches with Capt. Stellar or Jennings. These should go a long way toward get— ting new material, for with stellar. Jennings and Lamb graduating in June it will be sorely needed next season. SNURING DISTURBS LECTURE Yale University—Two burly cam— pus cops were summoned to eject a sleeping Yale senior from an English class when his snoring drowned out the lecture. Ohio State University—Fifteen years ago a student could live in luxury on an allowance of $10 a week according to data compiled on the relative costs of attending col— lege then and now. The price for porterhouse steak was 20 cents and a whole special Sunday dinner of roast chicken could be obtained for a quarter. The well dressed man could purchase a good suit for $10, while a topcoat cost $7. The ton- sorial rates were also much less than at present. The student body at Northwestern University will be divided into five classes next fall. The classes will be freshman, sophomore, middler, junior, and senior. Five brothers are enrolled at Creighton University at the present time. This is the second time in the history of the school that this has happened. Fred Payne, ’28, Editor of “Wisconsin Survey” On Tuesday, April 2nd, F. D. Payne ’28 visited school. His beam~ ing features informed us of some good fortune, which after question— ing, proved to be his recent ap- pointment to the editorship of the “Wisconsin Inspection Bureau Sur— vey.” The Survey is the monthly pub— lication of the- Wisconsin Inspec- tion Bureau and contains nearly 25 mimeographed pages. Fred’s secret ambition, ever since he has been with the Bureau, was to become editor of the Survey. His work at Armour on the staff of the Ar— mour Tech News, Armour Engineer and Cycle, fit him especially for his new position. Fred’s visit to Chicago was caused by the sudden death of his grandfather. In going from Wis~ cousin to Indiana Fred stopped of)? at Chicago. E. C. Youngberg, Ch. E. ’27, visited the Institute last Thursday. Youngberg at the present time is connected with the Linde Air Prod- ucts Co. He was on his way to the southern part of the state where he will be engaged in the development of an air products plant. Sam Misegades, who for some time has held two legs of the Schmier—Chemiker Medal, has won the third and final leg of the Badge of Honor. The Schmier—Chemiker medal, which was intended origin- ally to be a. traveling trophy for the senior chemical class, now becomes the permanent possession of this superechemist. Misegades, in win- ning the medal for the third time, has made a record for decorating the lab with products that it is hoped will not be equalled for many years to come. Where do graduation rings go? To the “hock shop.” So says Tar Barrel of the “Varsity Breeze,” St. Louis University. He reports that 95 per cent of the rings of ’16 are in “Uncle Ben’s.” ‘We don’t think that engineers could hold out that long. BETA PSl l l Beta Psi held its annual Springs Party Saturday, April 6.
