Close Successful Season
With Four Games

Victories

 

 

The results of Armour’s last stand
on the hardwood floors this season
bear the tidings that Armour defeat-
ed North Central College of Neperr
ville, 34-29 Thursday last.

However distorted the season’s rec-
ord may be, it’s the final outcome that
bears the greatest significance.

Small Odds

Since the figure 34-29 points fav—
orably to Armour, the cagers deserve
recognition as having been a good
team, one that was victimized by un-
fortunate turns of circumstance.
Time and again throughout the sea-
son reports came in that the {game
had been lost by a small margin. Any
number of games were within five
points of a victory, and while close
only counts in horse-shoes, neverthe-
less the showings on our side of the
score column showed at least that the
Tech lads knew how to play good bas-
ketball.

ReVErsed Previous Outcome

In defeating Naperville, Armour
accomplished a feat at which they
failed in mid-season, when that team
gave Armour a 36-29 setback. But
the last game gave proof that Ar-
mour had the punch and power to
score a knockout when they got the
chance and it wasn‘t entirely a case
of weakness that deprived them of
victory in the previous games.

When the boys made their final
bow last Thursday they performed in
a manner worthy of a big ten cham~
pionship quintet. Manz, Augustine,
and Goodheart, making the most of
their last opportunity to play under
the black and gold, put up a very de-
termined eli‘ort, and presented an in-
teresting problem to the enemy.
Judging from the excellent perform-
ance of King Simpson, one would al-
most be led to believe that he, too,
was graduating.

Ewing is the other member of the
team who is graduating. Though he
was not in the North Central lineup,
he has displayed some first rate per-
formances during the past season.

Season Totals High

Now the most striking phase of Ar-
mour‘s accomplishment this season is
the fact that the team has garnered
a good collection of points. In the
fourteen games played, excluding the
Crane College game and Notre Dame
game, Armour has to its credit 372
points while the opponents only lead
by 24 points, making their total 396.

Thus mathematics indicate that the
opponents average per game is 28.2
while Armour trails with an average
of 26.6. Such figures should be
looked oniwith pride when consider»
ing that they compare a team that
has won four games against teams
that have won three times that num-
her.

The cause for the large margin in
the Crane College game cannot be
accounted for but it is well to re-
mind fans that Crane has annexed
its eighteenth victory last week and
there were only 17 other teams be—
sides Armour that succumbed to their
attack.

The Notre Dame game although
taken seriously when it was played
cannot be considered as part of the
regular schedule. That game was
merely scheduled for the purpose of
making discoveries of talented mate-
rial, and a loss was fully expected.

A full data of each player’s record
during the season, if obtainable, will
be published in next week’s issue of
the NEWS.

Break At St. Louis

Seven Tech boxers invaded Univ.
of st. Louis last Saturday and
dropped all matches to a superior

 

team. Five of the decisions were
very close. Goodheart, light heavy-
weight of .Armour’s team, was

knocked out by the St. Louis oppon—
out for one minute after the ten
'count. The men who made the trip
were:

M. S. Whitfield, heavyweight, 172

Goodheart, light-heavyweight, 172

Larkin, middleweight, 164 lbs.

Buehling, welterweight, 147 lbs.

Schwartz, lightweight, 134 lbs.

Taylor, featherweight, 131 lbs.

Sandstrom, hantamweight, 120 lbs.

St. Louis Boxers 'l'oo Experienced

St. Louis University, having an en—
rollment of 3600 students, all men,
was naturally able to produce a good
boxing team. All of the present
members of their team are winners
of the different divisions of the in-
ter~class tournament held at the
school.

Whitfield Makes Fine Showing

Whitfield of the Tech team made a
wonderful showing against an oppon-
ent who outweighed him by 26 lbs.
Due to the fact that Poupitch had to
be left in Chicago, on account of in-
jury, Whitfield a light-heavyweight,
had to appear as a heavyweight.

The opponent of Whitfield is quite
an experienced boxer and sparring
partner to K.0. Christner, who fought
Jack Sharkcy not long ago. In meet.-
ing such an opponent, who incidental~
1y is tackle and captain of the St.
Louis football team, the Tech heavy-
weight by clever maneuvering held
his opponent to almost a tie.
Referee Gives Sandstrom Burl Break

Another interesting match was the
bantamweight fight in which Sand-
strom of Armour knocked his oppon-
ent through the ropes, but was disal-
lowed a count by the referee, who
accused the Tech boxer of holding.
After the time out, the St. Louis box-
er came back and got a close decision
over Sandstrom.

On the whole the trip was quite
successful, the members gaining a lot
of experience, and enjoying the city
on the Mississippi.

 

Crane, Normal, Fail
To ghoul tip [it Meet

In a supposed-to-be-quadrangular
swimming meet last Thursday at “Y”
College, Chicago Normal failed to
show up and Crane College arrived
too late to participate, with the re
sult that “Y" College emerged vic-
torious over the plucky Tech swim~
mers by the score of 3524.

Armour took two firsts with Trog-
nitz and Knox responsible, while “Y"
College came in first five times. Cav—
anaugh of Armour helped out the
point column by taking second in the
breast stroke. This last performance
of the Tech swimmers showed an im-
provement over the form which they
displayed two weeks ago, when they
collided with the “Y” athletes. At
this previous date they were beaten
by a score of 41-19.

REPRENTEB FRUM THE
CHHCAGG DAELY NEWS

of lVlonday, March :6, 1925

 

By BOB STANTON

Several years ago Illinois and Wis-
consin were in the throes of a nip-
and~tuck basketball game at Madison,
both teams fighting for the Big Ten
championship. The gymnasium was
packed with loyal Badger fans. The
score was 28 to 25 in favor of Wis-
consin with two seconds left to play.

A foul was called on Wisconsin
and the crowd went wild—booing,
hissing, booting, catcalls and shale.
ing fists. A foul then was called on
the crowd which continued to heap
abuse on the referee’s head, He
called another foul’on Wisconsin and
the Badger players ran into the mob
threatening violence unless the fans
were quiet. The mob shut up and
Chuck Carney, Illinois center,
dropped in three free throws to tie
the score.

The referee was John Schommer,
one of the finest football and basket—
ball ofiicials in the country, but not
a man to be trifled with.

What Schommer did in that game
at Wisconsin is typical of his love for
good sportsmanship. What the Wis-
consin crowd did was not sporting
and resulted in two fouls being called
that otherwise would not have been
inflicted. The fact that Schommer
was threatened with violence made
no difference to him. He did what
he thought necessary.

To see Schommer is to know why
he-is not afraid of mob violence. He's
more than six feet tall, square~jawed,
broadshouldered, big—listed, and
weighs a bit more than 200‘ pounds.
Another reason why he is not both—
ered by unruly sport crowds is that
he has been a football and basketball
official since 1911.

Schommer received his first taste
of organized athletics when a high
school student at the Central Y. M.
C. A: From there he went to the Uni-
versity of Chicago, where he partici-
pated in football, basketball, baseball
and track. He entered Chicago in
1905 when basketball was not even
regarded as a minor sport, no letters

 

Eddie Team Silicate 2
Postal Matches; big
improvement Shown

Last Monday the Armour Tech
Rifle Team fired a postal match
against two schools, Washington Uni-
versity of St. Louis, Missouri, and
St. Johns College, of Brooklyn. The
records made by the members of the
team in these matches surpassed any
previous records fired by the Armour
Team. It is hoped that the Armour
team will remain victors when the
opponents’ scores are received. These
matches are fired with fifteen men
and the ten highest scores are count-
ed in the official score.

Two matches scheduled for the
near future are with Crane College
at Armour and with Illinois Bell Tele-
phone at their range. Telescopic
sights will be used in the Bell match
for the first time by the Armour
team.

Membership of the Armour Tech
Rifle Club is open to any one who
would like to have the privilege of
firing on the range, to those who wish
to improve their marksmanship and
try out for the team and to those who
wish to learn to shoot. The mem—
bership fee is $1.25.

Eng awarded the players on the
team unless they won a champion-

 

ship.

When asked what football decision
was the toughest he ever made in his
eighteen years of officiating he re-
plied:

“I’ve had a bunch of tough ones to
make, but the one that probably
caused the biggest fuss was the one
I made in the game between Notre
Dame and the University of South-
ern California at Soldier field. When
Riley intercepted that Trojan pass he
whirled as he caught the ball and had
his back to me. I couldn’t see wheth-
er he had possession of it or not.
Eckersall also failed to see it and the
decision was left to the field judge.
He ruled it was a touchback and not
a safety. And you can say for me
that I don't know to this day which
it was.”

The Tech Track Team will en-
counter Chicago Normal in their first
dual meet Tuesday, March 12, at 3:30
in Bartlett'Gymnasium, at the Uni-
versity of Chicago.

Local Men Farm-e3

The local men are favored to carry
off the honors of this engagement,
since they made a much better show—
ing in the recent Invitation Meet than
did the south side teachers.

Don Paul can be counted on to im-
sure at least one first place for the
Technology athletes, as his perform—
shoes in the shot put of late have
netted him, among other things, the
Bartlett gym record for that event.

rPaul Holds Record

The recent article and picture
which appeared in the Chicago Trib—
une had the dope all wrong on that
score. That writeup stated that the
present holder of the gym record we
Buck Weaver, a U, of C. man.
Paul has broken Weaver’s record by
several inches.

Bumkers’ Meet Postponed

One of the finest meets of the sea~
son, the Bankers’ Meet, which was
originally posted for Friday, March
8, has been postponed indefinitely.
This event, which is to be held at the
spacious quarters of the Chicago Rid~
ing Club, attracts practically all the
middle—west college teams, and is,
hence, a real competition. While the
delay in the running of the meet iu~
creases the suspense with which it is
being anticipated by the team, it will
nevertheless give the lads a few addiu
tional days in which to get into shape
for the strenuous competition which
is bound to be met there.
