Annual llama Sunbelt llelll Wed. Evening la llssemlily llall Despite Still Competition Triangles Win g” The twenty-eighth Annual Home Concert presented by tho Armour Tech Musical Clubs in Assembly Hall last Wednesday evening was enthusiastically received by the crowd of listeners despite a down- pour of rain. The Band, the Glee Club, the Orchestra, the “Stress and Strains,” and the Inter-fra- ternity Sing, all went to creating three hours of musical enjoyment. Triangle fraternity won the fra- ternity sing with their rendition of the “Triangle Love Song" and “The Triangle Toast" under the direction of Roland Spencer, ’80. Excellent performances were given by each house participating, and the judges, consisting of Doctors Raymond and Protheroe, and Professors Palmer and Leigh, admitted that it was quite difficult to select the best. By taking first place in this competi- tion, Triangle wrested possession of the traveling trophy, awarded an— nually, from the Phi Pi Phi fra- ternity, last year's winner. The cup is the gift of the Inter-fra- ternity council. The Band gave four numbers, two marches and two overtures, under the leadership of Frank Astc, ’30. They were applauded enthu~ siastically by the audience. The Glee Club, under the direction of Dr. Daniel Protheroe, appeared twice; the first time featuring a number, "Eldorado," written by Dr. Protheroe and dedicated to the Armour Glee Club. A vigorous re- sponse by the audience in hope of an encore was without avail. The Orchestra, under the direc» tion of Don Williams, ’29, gave four numbers. One number especially, a descriptive fantasia, “In the Clock Store,” was well received by the listeners. The “Stress and Strains” jazz organization of the musical clubs, presented four pop— ular numbers, and consented to play enoores of recent dance music under the direction of Ed Craig, ’30. All arrangements for the concert were in charge of George Smith, ’29, President of the-Musical Clubs. Armour Alumni?

Professor C. E. Paul, Head of the department of Mechanics, was in Memphis, Tenn, on Tuesday of last week attending the thirty-third annual convention of the National Fire Protection Association. Pro— fessor Paul gave the report of the Committee on Building Construc- tion, of which he is the chairman, and presented the latest work in the committee, “Specifications for Standard Industrial Buildings.” This work will be incorporated into the National Building Code, at present under revision. This committee is comprised of twenty-three men, leaders in con- suiting engineering, building con— struction, insurance underwriting and protective work, and in archi- ture. Their work as a committee is recognized as authoritative by city officials and inspection bu— reaus throughout the country. The meeting, which was held at the Hotel Peabody in Memphis, lasted from May 13 to May 16, but Professor Paul was unable to at— tend except for the one day. Go To Business Meshing Dean Penn and Mr. Allison at— tended the convention of the Asso- ciation of University and College Business Officers held. at Cham— paign-Urbana last Wednesday, May 15. strongest team on the schedule, takes on Kraflt’s proteges at De- corah. Northwestern College of Watertown plays host to the in- vaders on Saturday. Both teams have been beaten by the victorious Tech team, but both are constant threats. Luther fell before Simpson’s brilliant pitching by a count of 4-1 and Northwestern ' took the short end of a ’2‘6 dose, administered by Stehno. Luther is considered the tougher of the two teams, so Krafi’t will probably start Simpson on the slab. At Ogden Field Simpson allowed the Lutherites but six hits and: struck out fourteen. With Robin, and Reichle hitting as frequently as they have lately, and with Simpson pitching in his usual form, the Tech Sluggers should turn in an»- other victory in Friday’s game. Stehno will be the choice for mound duty at Watertown Sauna clay. Stehno has turned in live wins so far this year, and Krai’lt looks to him to keep a perfect recbrd; Northwestern hit Stehno hard in the 7-6 game at Chicago, but Ar- mour managed to squeeze out a win. Even with the disadvantage of foreign soil, the invading squad should turn in at least one victory and probably two. Glee @lulo on W. l... S.

Friday night, the sophomore leader, Frank James, was kidnapped, while the firemen leader, Maynard Venom, disc - peared Saturday morning. James returned in time to lead his gang, but lacked support in numbers. Venema turned up at Ogden Field about half an hour after the de- cision was given. Many on both sides had lost their shirts previous to the battle, and some culprits confiscated the sacks that were to be fought for the following morn- ing. These evidences of intense rivalry were evinced by only a lim- ited number of the sophomores and when the gunshot stamed the event, they were outnumbered more than two to one. They put up a game fight, but were hope— lessly ou‘lzmatched by the horde of fresh that turned out.
