Page Four ARMOUR TECH NEWS Tuesday, Smolder 3, 329-29 Rifle glad to Elect Eco no? of flireccziors The Armour Tech Rifle Club has scheduled a number of matches ,with clubs outside the city in addi— tion to the usual city matches. These assure a very busy and in— teresting year for the club. A meeting will be held in the near future to announce the de— tails of the coming season to the members. All members and others who may be interested in fire arms are urged to he in attendance. It is planned to elect a board of di- rectors who will transact small business matters of the club, with« out necessitating the calling of a meeting of the whole body, which is somewhat unhandy due to the lack of an open hour for all students. To promote better shooting Sport Seminary Recalls Rec— ord of ’29 When it comes to baseball, Armour can point with pride to the record made by the ’29 outfit. Led by the indomitable Gent at third and with Simpson or Stehno in the box. some of the most formidable ball teams in the Middle West were met and were very decisively defeated. When such teams as Luther, Michigan State Nor- mal, Lake Forest College, Northwest— ern College of Watertown, University of Chicago and Chicago Normal Col- lege are included in the great string of victories. Armour certainly has something to be proud of. The team as a whole functioned with a unison among the members of the cum which W38 ‘1 delight t? the eyes “f several arrangements have been the spectator. Base hits were Dro- vmade.

To a large measure the success of the baseball team may be attributed to one source. the pitching of King Simpson and Ed Stehno. Although Ed has the better pitching record in wins and losses, it remains for one to in- vestigate the record compiled by King last season to realize his effectiveness Simpson buried in 8 games, winning 7 and losing, 1. The loss was at the hands of Luther when the team trav- eled to Decorah, Iowa, to engage the Iowa State Champions. In the 66 in- nings pitched, King struck out 115 batters with an average of 1.74 strike outs per inning. His best record was compiled when Armour mot Michigan State Normal at Ogden Field. In this game, which resulted in a Tech vic- tory, 5 to 1, Simpson upset Michigan‘s plans to the extent of striking out 21 of their batters. While talking of Simpson, we might mention that he has the distinction of being not only captain of the basket- ball team, but that he holds a similar position of honor with the ’30 baseball team. With several major league teams clamoring for his services, it re mains for King but to choose with which team he wishes to cast his lot. Stehno threw in 6 games, winning all of them. His strike-out record, not so impressive as Simpson‘s, however, marks him as a pitcher of more than usual ability. in 45 innings pitched, Ed fanned 49 batters for an average of 1.09 strikeouts per inning. Stehno subdued 12 hitters by the strikevout route in the Watcrtown game for his best record of the year. Individual hitting honors went to Stehno. When it came to base hits, Ed certainly led a charmed life. In his 25 attempts at the plate, he pro’ Jane E...

Chicago.—~Plucked from a cloud of figures at the American Statis— tical Association’s meeting was some interesting information as to what’s new among the stars. The center of the universe has been found. Astronomers have reached the conclusion that the nucleus of the earth’s galaxy of stars, of which the sun is an infinitesimal mem— her, is in the constellation sagit- tarius, Prof. Harlow Shapley of Harvard said. The earth is estimated to be about 47,000 light years distant from this center of the universe. The observations which lead to the discovery were obtained from study on Harvard astronomical photographic plates of several hun- THE MAN AND THE TRANSE'E‘ (A Gripping Scene from the North Woods) By C. E. SirJchor, 13.5., lVll.A., nos. This is a picture of a man and a transit at Summer Camp. It is not a portrait by either Whistler or Rembrant, but by Eastman. The delicate and awe—inspiring object on three legs (Mark B, diag. 6) is the transit, while the man, if such a term can be properly used to name the thing, is undoubtedly the specimen on two legs adjacent to the transit. Just what connection between the two exists, we are unable to state definitely. Perhaps the man is a form of anchor for the transit. We say this with some sincerity, for the transit is worth far more than he is; by pure reasoning he is clearly defined as an accessory to a transit. But upon investigation of the picture, we discover that the transit has an anchor of some sort suspended from its tripod. Wrong again. There may have been an un— sightly bush in the background, and the man has been utilized as the lesser evil. But we differ from the photograph. From the rakishness of his Kol~ loge Kut Klothcs one might ven— ture to say that he is a model for a clothing sale; or perhaps a collar ad. But collar ad men are unde- niably handsome; wrong again. Do you notice how delicately his fingers rest upon the leg of the tri— pod? Perhaps he has come upon the transit unawares, and has stolen softly up to it to investigate. But being an Armour fresh, he no doubt has concluded that it is a periscope, and is looking; for cigar bands to swell his collection. Ah, at last we have found the true solution. As he stands there. a true pioneer in the wilds and after rolling his cunning white socks with a skilled hand, he peers into the transit and remarks in a deep, resonating voice (field men always have a resonating voice), “Yep, I prefer an ‘Old Mold’ to any other kind of disinfectant." hilltfililtlflil dili’idlili All HRS? dfidhtdhlfil Elli Stflidfll. HEADS (Continued from page 1) Dean Palmer distributed a pam- phlet, “An Open Letter to a. College Freshman,” by Dean Carl E. Sea- shore of the University of Iowa. This booklet contained many useful ideas for the new men. It brought out quite a few thoughts with which the freshman were supposed to tax their brains. Doctor Raymond instructed the students that on all scholastic chill» culties they were to go first to Dean Penn and if he was not in to see Dean Palmer. In case of personal difficulties they were to see Dean Palmer and if he was out to see Dean Penn. In other words these two Deans co-operate in taking care of the difficulties of the stu— dents. The meeting closed with the an- nolmcement of the Freshman Handshake with the date definitely set as Wednesday evening, October 2nd. Blackburg, Vat—A theory that it is immoral to defy the law of gravi- tation was reported by Virginia Polytechnic Institute officials as an obstacle in obtaining land for the college airport here. A former and Dunkard minister by the name of Smith, it was said, refused to lease his land if aeroplanes were to land on it for this reason. Sufficient land has been acquired however, and State engineers have staked out the field, the erection of fences, draining and other matters are expected to be completed by fall. The State will contribute $1,- 000 toward the field, the college paying the remainder.

At the start of the season, Krafl‘t announced that “a gold baseball charm would be awarded to each regular who could hit the ball to the tune of .350 for the season." Stehno, Robin and Anderson were recipients of these charms for hitting while Simpson was awarded a charm for his exceptional pitching. it might be mentioned that these awards were made by Kral‘it personally. Strange as it may seem, three men came within one hit of a .350 average. These men were Capt. Gent, Reichle, and Hauser.
