Tommi-w Night: At Vol. III No. 7 . fragments sauce '9 Opera. Club Vt’ill House Gala Freshman Function Two hundred bids have been dis- tributed during the ,first week of sales for the Freshman dance to be held April 12, according to Dave Chapman, Freshman Social Chairman. This ad- vance sale exceeds by far any pre— vious such sale for the school dances this year. As the capacity of the Opera .Club, where the dance will be given, is less than two hundred and fifty couples, it appears probable'that a shortage of tickets will occur be- fore the night of the dance, over three weeks away. The orchestra for the evening is to be the Arag'on—Trianon Orchestra of Waddy Wadsworth’s, widely known " throughout the city. Chaperones will be selected during the next week. and will probably include several members _ of the faculty The Opera Club is located at No.18 Walton Place, easily accessible to students from north south and west. Members of the Freshman social committee are: D. Chapman, Chairman P. Abramson V. Taylor H. Hendricks R. Fairbanks F. Ollison Frock loom Ends Week W1 ill Triangular, Add]. Today and tomorrow Armour’s squad of rapid pacing trackmen will participate in two of th ,, 1 meet will be a triangular affair with Chicago Normal and Morton College at the Chicago Normal Gym. Tomorrow’s program will be carried out at the Broadway Armory where th a Central Association Amateur Athletic Union is sponsoring its thirty-first annual indoor champion- ship meet. Armour Strong Contender ‘Since Armour had defeated Chi- cago Normal last week and Morton College has only an eqcal rating with the teachers, Coach Stagg has ex- pressed high hopes of winning today’s meet. All of Stagg’s oldest performers are in good condition and are pre- pared to face their opponents. Among the entries will be Don Paul, holder of the Bartlett Gym Shot-put record, and Yount, hurdler and shotvputter, who won last week’s shot-put match. Smith will enter for the two mile run. Captain Kara is rounding himself into shape for the high hurdles. Medley Team Enters A. A. U. Meet Armour will make its appearance in tomorrow’s contest with four run- ners and Don Paul. The Medley team will be composed of Sturm or Ransel as the 220-yard runners, and Podlipec or Fox in the quarter. Iverso-n will run the half mile and Richter will go the mile. In H. P. Richter, the freshman miler, Stagg has found a valuable ad— dition. Though this is his first sea— son of college competition, he has steadily battered his running time. Iverson, too, shows good form in his half mile run. Sturm, Ransel, Podlipec, and Fox, the short distance runners, have dem- onstrated their ability in the recent Chicago Normal meet and if they re- peat their performance, there is no doubt but what Armour will make a favorable showing. Armour’ 3 one outlook for a first placing 1 csts highly on Don Paul's exhibition Don Paul has been heav- ing the metal‘ball 46 to 47 feet. His ofiicial record is 45 feet 8-5/8 inches. By holding this record he has proven to be superior to Buck Weaver of Chicago, who held theprovious record ‘long‘ to transport the belongings in New 3. Eli. fl. House 3344 S.

Ass’t Mgr. of Baseball Team @pen To Juniors Any junior desiring to hold the position of assistant baseball mana- ger is requested to make his applica- tion by writing a letter to Coach Krafl’t. Applications must be in be- fore Monday, March 25. The selection of the assistant will not be determined solely by the let- ter, but rather through an elimina- tion process. After March 25 all ap- plications will be reviewed and three or four of the most favorable appli- cants will be given tryouts. These men will work alternately for a short period of time, fulfilling the duties connected with the posi- tion. The best qualified man will then be named assistant.

SilNlCllS lNSllllfi’l‘ ”FEM/Willi) WANT (Ether inspection Trips Are On Schedule For Near Future An inspection trip was made last week by the senior electricals to the plant (if the Morkrum-Kleinschmidt Co. This trip, as have been a number of others already taken, was under the charge of Prof. Moi-econ of the electrical department. The Morkrum-Kleinschmidt Co. are the manufacturers of the “telctype” machines used universally in wire and radio telegraph transmission Where greater speed than is possible with manual keying is desired. Thelmachine has the appearance of a typewriter, but instead of printing on paper, causes a series of relays to be operated, sending out dots and dashes. The companion machine re- ceives these dots and dashes and causes the keys of a typewriter to print the message on paper, seem- 111eg by an invisible hand. So far this semester all the inspec- ‘tion trips that have been taken by the electrical department were limited to the seniors. It is planned to take a whole day off during junior week in which trips will be made by both the juniors and seniors to a number of plants. A. battery works, a motor manufactur- ing plant and the Stevens Hotel are some of the places under considera~ tion. The Stevens Hotel would be of special interest to the electricals as it contains one of the finest complete power plants in the city. A. l. E, E. MEETHNG MONDAY There will be an A. I. E.

A’s Must trails tinder Wind lends During the heavy snow storm last Friday night, the steel mast support, ing the antennae of the transmitter of the Armour Radio Club was blown down. Last Thursday a meeting of the club had been held to obtain workers to assist in placing additional guy wires, there being some feeling that such an occurrence might take place. So on Saturday morning a crew of “linemen” made their appearance, ready to make their mast safe against any storm that might blow. How- ever fate was against them. In a previous storm a rather unique curvature had been placed upon the pole. This time “Dame Nature" was not to be so easily pleased with her handiwork. Friday night dusk settled and a snow storm commenced, amply came and the screen of darkness was lifted, there lay the radio mast, look- ing: like a pretzel, that a pretzel bender had decided was not worth finishing. At this time the radio club has not definitely decided what action to take. Until a new mast is erected, all trans- mitting activity has been necessarily suspended. There is some talk among members, that since they have been so poorly treated by Dame Nature, perhaps mental telepathy be substituted for radio telegraphy as their sphere of activity. Prod.
