Al— though they presented an attack which was much above the usual graduate standard, the Alumni were defeated, 37—17. Coach W. C. Kraflt presented as his opening lineup the following: Rossing, R.F.; Captain Simpson, LE; Robin, 0.; Rutkowski, R.G.; Bruni, LG. Many substitutes were made during the game so that a working combination could be se- lected for the more important games which follow in the schedule of 15 games. The Alumni team, with Otto Kuhn as captain, played a fast passing and dribbling game which had the Varsity baffled several times. “Vic” Hofer, Tech captain several years ago, played in the standing guard position. His wor was of such high caliber that Tech Varsity was forced to do the major part of their basket shooting from beyond the free throw line. His body checking, elbow pushing and low tackles were responsible for many of the Alumni fouls. “Bill” Downes’ floor work was such that a trackman was needed to prevent his sideline dribbles. Downes would receive the ball un- der his own basket and then pro— ceed unaided down the floor and make a try at the Varsity basket. The accurate eye of Captain Kuhn was responsible for the greater number of the graduate scores. Schoemaker and Kuflel al— temated in the forward position. Armour’s attack seemed to be of the slow—breaking style. Robin’s tlpofi to Simpson then to Bruni proved the way to many Tech scores. The Varsity passing attack kept the corpulent Alumni on their toes at all times. The dogged de- termination of the graduates was the main reason for the compara- tively few points that the Varsity scored by basket shooting. Tech free throwing was a genu- ine revelation. Robin and Simpson excelled in this art, with the latter scoring nine out of a possible nine shots. The final score, 37—17, is not in- dicative of Tech superiority for much improvement can be devel— oped in the Varsity attack and de- fense. SCORE Alumni, 17 'fi ’31 lunehueeppm' Downes, RF.

Chicago “if” "Foam Tech’s swimming team was de— feated last Tuesday by the 1929 Middle West Y.M.C.A. champions, the South Chicago Y.lVl.C.A. South Chicago‘s record of two years with— out a defeat could not be broken by the Engineer’s squad. The final score 23-30, nevertheless, shows a very creditable attempt to upset the champs. Taking into consider- ation the fact that this was Ar— mour’s first meet oi the season with a team being made up of prac- tically entirely new material tends to indicate that the team is up and coming. The few old men that partici- pated did well. Ed Knox with his usual versatility pulled down a sec- ond place in the 40*yard free style and a third in the back stroke be— sides swimming as anchor man on the relay team. Especially interesting was the 100-yard breast-stroke event in which Trognltz, Cavanaugh and Dwyer raced it out. It was a close race all the way but Trognitz, ac- cording to old custom, managed to maintain his slight lead over the other two until the finish. The spring board parabolas which Strauch executed were supreme, k landing him an easy first place. 013 the newcomers in the free style swims we note Pfeiler. Davi— son, another crawl man, took part in every free style event but the 40—yard and made good. The 220- yard long distance grind seems to be his event. Giovan showed up well in the relay.

The match was fired in prone and standing po~ sitions; the five highest point men being counted in the scoring. ill- though the Armour rifiers had a lead of 56 points in the standing position, the St. John’s team showed the prone firing when they finished 119 points ahead. The final total score stood, in favor of St. John’s College, 862-799. Last Friday, the Armour team shot in a postal match against the Jefferson City Rifle and Revolver Club.

The Fresh squad completely outclassed the third year men in every line of the game from the opening until the final whistle. No one could be called the star of the tilt, although Gustafson, Escar— raz and Ireland scored the majority of the points. The close guarding of Cosmi and Pearson held the op— ponents’ scoring chances down. FIRST QUARTER Escarraz opened up the scoring with a short, quick shot from the foul line area. Setterberg, the Jun— ior flash, retaliated this opening blow with a long shot from the center of the floor. Ireland dropped two free throws through the loop just as the quarter whistle blew. The Juniors were lagging by two points at this session. Score, 4-2. SECOND QUARTER During this period the First year men widened the margin of points when Gustafson dribbled the length of the floor to sink a short one from under the basket. He and Cosmi both sunk a free toss each, doubling the score 01’ the first quarter. Setterberg, the only Jun- ior scorer to this point, dropped another basket and i'ree throw. Kutteruf went in for Draus at a forward position but even this didn’t seem to help any. Score, 8—5. li‘lifllltll QUARTER In the opening Pepe went in for Stehno and Schirmer for Johnson, while the original Frosh five played practically the entire game. Escar— raz counted a ringer and Gustafson a, charity shot while the Juniors closed the gap fairly well. Setter- berg again made a successful toss. Two more points from Pope and one from Rutkowski ended the quarter. Score, 1140. EMAIL PIERRE!» by Pepe spelled finish for the Jun- ahead but alas this angered the youngest quintet and. they opened up a passing, shooting and guard« ing attack that put the Juniors up the well—known creek. Another toss by Pope spelled finish for the Jun- iors. Escarraz accounted for five points, Ireland for two baskets, while Gustafson came through with his three points, making a total of twelve points in less than five min- utes. Nor did they let up here, for they practically kept the ball in their possession until the final whistle, After the Freshmen made their last—minute substitutions the Jun/iors were so taken back by this West are illicit. ilpposc Tech lioness Leon J. Stock, manager of Ar— mour‘s boxing team, has scheduled the West Side Y. M. C. A. for the first boxing match of the forth- coming scason. The meet will be held in the early part of January at Fraternity flames After Holidays Now that the interclass basket— ball mipreinacy is settled, the spot— light will be flashed on the inter— fratenuity games scheduled for January 16, 20, 22, 23 and 24. Whether this tournament will pro— vide a surprise of equal merit is a question in doubt. The probabil- ities are, however, that as striking an upset will not develop, for no team is given as low a rating as the freshmen were prior to the opening of the interclass tourna— ment. Teams Begin Practice Thus far the Rho Delta Rho, Phi Pi Phi and Sigma Kappa Delta fraternities have taken their turns in practice. Before the week is up the Triangles and Beta Psl’s will take the gym for their bit of prac— tice. Other fraternity teams will lake the floor after the Christmas holidays. Varsity, 37; Alumni, 17 Basketball has a firm hold in Ar— mour Tech as was evidenced by the official opening of the Varsity sea« son last week. As usual, the Alumni were chosen as the victims for the first game and this they proved to be to the extent of 37 Varsity points against 17 of their own. 4 it 9 Combination Needed Coach Krafit opened the game by sending his first squad to the floor. The lineup was changed many times so as to try for a quick- breaking, accurate-shooting combi- nation. Miran, Ott, Tell and Quinby were the chief characters in the substi— tute role. * " " Possibly lice Hockey Ott seems to think he is on the baseball field when actually he is on the basketball floor, for his home run slides were cause for many touts from the referee’s whis— 1 Little is known of the relative to strength of these teams and no pre— diction could honestly be advanced without involving a good amount of guess work. From what has been seen of the teams that have cavorted in Coach Krafft’s emporium thus far, the Sigma Kappa Deltas and Phi Pi Phi’s appear to be closely matched, while the Rho Delta Rhos are con— ceded a secondary rating. The following is the game sohed~ ule drawn up by B. J. Weldon, man- ager of interfraternity basketball athletics: January lG—Rho Delta Rho Vs. Phi Pi Phi. January iii—Sigma Kappa Delta Vs. Triangle.

About as Usual The total crowd for this big game amounted to 42 spectators and 19 players. The referee for the game ap— peared with a gaudy black and white striped shirt. Maybe the idea of the color combination was to deceive the players, but 10 and be— hold, he called nearly every foul. :‘F i= S Maybe it Was Kuhn? A prominent basketball ofi‘icial took part in the game as one of the forwards. His arm swinging, wrist holding and double dribbling was cause for much agitation in the cheering crowds. k ’5 fi Junior Stock Zero A shock was received by all when the Soph basketeers went down at the hands of the Fresh. Last week a catastrophe occurred when these same Freshmen defeated the high— ly touted Junior team, 2344.. it :{a 8 An attack such as the Freshman basketball team presented could not be denied. Gustavson’s floor work was perfect in every respect and his basket shooting—wow! 3! :R Q Just Like a Machine Gun The first portion of the game the Juniors had their old spirit at as the third quarter ended. they seemed tired.
