First Tillie Scheduled tor
Play Next Week

ALL FEVES CONFHDENT

The I n t e r ~ 0 l a s s Basket-ball
games will be played starting Wed-
nesday following the Thanksgiving
vacations. The Freshmen take on
the Sophomores in the first game
scheduled for Wednesday, Decem-
ber 4, with the Junior-Senior Tilt
following on December 5. The final
game will be played on Monday,
December 9 in the gymnasium.

Practice has already started for
the different classes. The managing
of the tournament is in charge of
V. A. Sturm, ’30, Inter-Class Basket—
ball Manager.

Seniors Quiet

The Senior Basketball team
under the management of Don
Smith, ’30, has been working out
quietly, almost secretly. The men
on this squad expect to spring a big
surprise on the other teams with a
series of tricky plays. Among the
leading candidates are Smith, Row—
ley, Ross, Paul, Serson and Fee.

Juniors Practice

Yesterday evening beginning at
4:30 p. m. the junior class baske-
teers held their first and only prac—
tice session prior to the big inter—
class series of next week. This
practice, after considerable “rail-
roading” of undesirable individuals
from the gym, was held behind
closed doors.

With 20 very good players to
choose from, it seems that the ’31
boys should have little difficulty in
placing a scrapping five on the
floor in their game with the “big-
shot” seniors.

In Rutkowski and Miran the
juniors have a pair of varsity
guards who can be rated with the
best players at Tech. In the Senior—
Junior clash these men will prob~
ably play in their usual positions.
Ed Stehno with his valuable right
wing will also be ready to do his
share in collecting the senior scalp.

Eddie Erland, who is also con—
nected with the varsity in that
he is one of the acting assistant
managers, may evolve in a forward
position, for it is here that his
cyclonic speed may be used to good
advantage. Steve Stevenson with
his buddy Austin may bust into the
game depending on how things
progress with the fourth-year men.
Wally Schirmer, Setterburg, Kut—
teruf, and “Shot-putter” Holt will
be ready for instant call in case
they are needed to pull the bacon
from the fire.

Clare Robin and Stan Ott of the
Krafitsmen would certainly like to
aid the cause but because of the
letter ruling they will be forced to
enjoy the game as spectators
rather than players.

Sophs All Set

All of last year’s freshmen basket
ball representatives turned out for
Sophomore practice last Thursday
evening when a call was made for
members for this year’s inter-class
basket ball team.

Carlson, Billings, Stalzer, Mc-
Clennan and Leichtenberg of the
’28 freshman team were among
those that flocked to the gym.
There was a total of about seven—

Enteruk‘raternity
Schedule Ready

Representatives of Armour’s ten
social fraternities met last Wednes-
day evening for the purpose of
formulating plans for the coming
inter~fraternity basket ball tourna-
ment.

“Bud” Weldon, director of the
inter—fraternity athletics, proposed
a schedule which was unanimously
adopted. In this schedule it will be
noted that the ten teams are di—
vided into two sections of five. The
winners of each section will meet
for the championship.

The halves are to be sandwiched,
that is, two teams will take the
floor for two quarters and will take
a recess while two other teams play
two quarters. All quarters are to
be eight minutes in duration. The
probable referees will be Hut
Kuehn and “Bill” Downs.

The prize at stake is a floating
trophy which may be acquired for
permanent possession if a team
wins the inter—fraternity tourna—
ment for three consecutive years.
At present the Phi Pi Phi fra-
ternity has two legs in the trophy
that is up for this year’s competi-
tlon.

Thus far, Weldon has arranged
only the system of the schedule.

@tt Euros Hand
in (Chemical Lab

Stan Ott, F.P.E. ’31, and a mem-
ber of the varsity basketball squad
was injured in the Industrial
Chemistry laboratory last week
when a. dish of alcohol which he
was carrying suddenly became ig-
nited. Stan, under the stress of
the accident tipped the dish and
the ignited liquid spilled over his
hand, resulting in serious burns.
The accident was not, however,
severe enough to cause his absence
from school.

 

 

 

Boxers Seek Strong
Teams on Schedule

 

The tech boxing squad has been
practicing twice weekly on Tuesday
and Friday evening and although
Coach Weissman has not made any
cuts in his squad nor picked a first
string team.

Manager Stick who has been
working out a stiff schedule for the
leather pushers, intends to have a
meet with Culver and some Chi—
cago Y. M. C. A.

Last season the boys journeyed
to St. Louis, Mo. to compete with
the U. of St. Louis. This year’s
bout with them will probably be
dropped since the expense incurred
in bringing them here would be too
great.

A... T. A. A. to Meet
Before Christmas

 

Simpson, president of the A. T.
A. A., announces that the meeting
of the society will probably be held
before the Christmas holidays. The
A. T. A. A. will not meet until busi—
ness more pertinent than has al—
ready accumulated presents itself.

Fresh Basketeers

The freshman basketball squad
held their first meeting last Wed-
nesday evening, at which time they
elected W. E. Gustafson, ’33, their.
captain. About 25 aspiring young
fresh answered the first call and
after holding a short meeting they
turned to the practice of the fun-
damentals of basketball and several
simple plays.

Coach Gustafsnn deemed it best
to go through ’lmple plays of the
game first, in order that everyone
should get a fair chance to make
the team. At the next several prac—
tices Gustafson will reveal some of
the plays that put his high school
squad on top of their conference.

The prospects of an exceedingly
good squad are very promising for
several others besides the captain
have had plenty of basketball ex—
perience.

in the near future will be the prin—
clpal adornment of the public
square in front of the Palace of
Labor, headquarters of the trade-
unions here.

      

 

   

" Gridiron. Queries !

 

By Professor John .3. Sebammer

(Editor's note: Professor John J.
Scho’mmer, stwr player, conference
umpire, and leading football author—
ity, will answer through this column,
any questions on football which [we
puzzling our readers. Questions may
be submitted to the Sports Editor,
A. H. Jens, or they may be placed in
the Armour Tech News bow which is
located in the main building adjacent
to the elevator on the first floor.)

Question 1. Team A punts. Safety
man of team B makes no attempt
to catch the ball believing that it
will roll into the end zone. End oi
team A, however, reaches ball and
knocks it down onto the playing
field, after which the hall rolls on
over the goal line into the end zone.
Where is the ball placed on the
next play and to whom is it
awarded? '

Answer 1. Team B’s ball either
as a touchback or at the spot
where A, the offside man, touched
the ball.

Question 2. ill‘ a man picks up a
ball five yards behind his own goal
line and runs for a touchdown, is
he officially accredited with a 105—
yard gain, when calculations are
made on the yardage gained during
the game?

Answer 2. Yes.

Question 3. its the coach permit-
ted to signal to his men while the
game is underway?

Answer 3. No.

Question 4. What is the “Little
Brown Jug"?

Answer 4.. A brown crockery jug
that goes to the winner of the Min«
nesota—Michigan game. The same
jug has passed back and forth for
a great many years.

Question 5. To your mind what
is the most brilliant example of
“headwork” that you have seen dis-
played in a football game?

Answer 5. There is usually one
outstanding case of this in each
game. The “head work” of “Tiny"
Lewis in the Northwestern—Michi—
gan game of several years ago is an
example of quick thinking when
the outcome of the game might
rest entirely on a single play. The
game as I recall it was played in
the worst weather conditions.
Northwestern scored on a success—
ful place kick early in the game
and managed to hold this lead.
With but two minutes to play and
with the ball in Northwestern’s
possession on their own louyd. line
it seemed to be their game. After
three tries through the line the ball
rested on Northwestern’s 1-yd. line.
On the next play, a punt being
practically impossible, “Tiny” Lewis
grounded the ball behind his own
goal line. Michigan was awarded 2
points by virtue of the play. On the
next play Northwestern was given
the ball on its own 20-yd. line. The
game ended with the final score
Northwestern 3, Michigan 2. It pos—
sibly would have been Michigan 6,
Northwestern 3 but for Lewis’ bril—
liant “head work."

Question 6. Can nine men be
played in the line? lit not, how far
back must the extra men play?

Answer 6. Eleven men may play
on the line. The backfield men
must be at least 1 yd. back except-
ing the man who first receives the
ball.

Question 7. 0n the kickoff, does
the receiving team have to take the
ball wherever it lands? lls a penalty
inflicted for kicking the ball olf—
side? '

Answer 7. If the ball goes out of
bounds twice in successive kickofls
the ball goes to the opponents on
40-yd. line. If ball rolls into end

 

zone and is recovered by kicking
team, a touch down is allowed. If

Many Substitutions For
Squad During
Practice

 

SWEAT SHlRTS ESSUED

The fourth week of basketball

ractice saw the Armour Tech
squad on. the Armory floor. Sixteen
men appeared for the first practice
on the new floor, and a few more
were in action the second night.

Practice shirts were given out
and Kraflt called for a scrimmage
the first night. It took most of the
practice time for the men to be—
come accustomed to the change of
floors. Frequent substitutions were
made in order to discover the best
combination.

Sweat suits were handed out by
Coach Krafft the second night, and
they were quite welcome for the
Armory is not very well heated.
Sixteen of these suits were dis—
tributed.

Bad news was again in evidence
when Stan Ott was injured. Stan
burned his hand in Chem. lab. and
will be out for about two weeks. To
balance this, Miran appeared for
practice with his broken nose well
taped. Miran cannot scrimmage
now but will be able to do so next
week, providing he wears a nose
guard.

Most of the practice session is
now devoted to defensive and of—
lensive drills. No definite team has
been chosen as yet. Krafft expects
to keep on working with different
combinations until a smooth—work—
ing five is found. At present every-
one has a chance for regular em—
ployment. This situation will prob-
ably last another week or so when
a more definite selection will be
made.

 

 

receiving team downs ball in end
zone, touchback. Otherwise ball is
dead where downed.

 

 

Spirit Dies

In a few days it will be Turkey
time and our thoughts of football
will vanish just as our hopes of an
Armour Tech football team has
vanished this year.

We have a hope deep down in our
hearts that sometime in the very
near future our dream will come
true, when we will be able to see
gridders clothed in the colors of
dear old A. I. T. fighting Chicago,
Wisconsin or even Notre Dame in
the big game of the year.

But Still
Rumors of plans of a new A. I. T.
have been developing in the past
few weeks. Possibly with these new
arrangements, if any, plans for a
football team can be developed.
We are hoping for the best.

Varsity Swimming 'i’é'eaha
Hoists ‘W’eetrly Fractious

The swimming twin sail} has not
had any meets, but Manager Van—
der Velde '30, reports having ur-
ward of two dozen letters out, m-
vitlng and challenging other teams.

Dates have not been defirificly
decided upon though the team is
especially willing to have a meet
in the near future with Crane Col—
lege. Any men interested in the
sport and anxious to become a
member of the team are asked to
report to practice at the U. of C.
pool at 57th and University are,

gyms. An ambitious player might
even attempt an end run when
dribbling down the floor.

 

First vs. Second
December 4th will see the first 0%
the interclass contests. The Fresh
and 8011th will tangle in the battle
of the year in the cigar box gym of
Tech. Our money is with the Sophs

 

football interests over at Ogden
field.

Touch football will probably be
played until the snow flies or may-
be until the pigskins wear out.

 

Lest We Forget

George Jennings, who played a
good deal of tennis when he at—
tended Tech, was listed No. 3 in the
Chicago district rankings for this
year. He was listed with his part«
ner, Brandt as No. 2 in the doubles
ranking. We expect in a short time
that George will receive a national
standing somewhere around 7th or
8th.

For Rent or Short Lease

With the Varsity Basket experts
doing their stuff over at the Arm—
ory one would expect the gym to be
vacant on Mondays, Wednesdays
and Thursdays. lnterclass basket-
ball practice and games will con—
sume all of these days until Christ-
mas, then it will be the interim—
ternity games until exam. week,

 

 

The floor at the Armory is just
about as large as six or seven Tech

in this contest.

 

Why Not?

The Juniors are ambitious lads
when it comes to dress. When it
was announced that the Seniors
would wear jackets a few ‘31 men
got together and thought it would
be a good idea if they wore “cords,"
meaning corduroys.

 

junior Year
According to the records 191% like
1929 was a Junior year. Then the
Junior Class won the baseball
track and basketball champion—
ships just as the present juniors
are going to do.

 

Professor Schommer has promised
us a review of the 1929 football
season for an early issue of the
Tech News, Watch for this for John
sure does know how to spill out the
words. If you don’t think so read
his “A Wonderful Day” in the cur-
rent issue of the ”Engineer.”
