Stillblillllfi @WEN dill” Bl Mdlllldbll Seventeen Games Are Carded tor Basket- ball Team EMMINA’H‘E CANDEDATES Eyeing a schedule of fifteen games, Coach Krafit is seriously facing the job of molding a well~ balanced team from the twenty— fivc candidates remaining. AL- though no cuts have been made, the turn—out has dropped ofiz‘ very noticeably. It doesn’t look very good when only twenty—five men turn out for the second week of practice in a school of '750 students. Quality, however, and not quan- tity, makes up a basketball team, since only five men make up the playing team. So Krafl't is work- ing hard to find five men and the necessary seven others to make up a squad. Two or three weeks will tell definitely whether the neces» o sary quality is on tap. Short Drills Held Although practice is still confined to fundamentals, the work is be— coming a littlemore like scrim- mage. Short drills are held in at- tack against a guard. This en— ables Krafft to point out mistakes in both defense and offense. When the squad takes to the Armory floor on Nov. 18, Kraflt't ex~ pects to start right in on scrim- maging. With this in mind, Thurs— day’s practice included three min- utes of passing up and down the floor without shooting baskets. This time limit will probably be in- creased soon in order to get the players in condition, both in wind and muscle. Schedule Completed The complete basketball sched— ule has now been formulated by Coach Krafft and Manager Faul— stich. This schedule, extending from December 5 of this year unw til February 28, 1930, includes 1'? games of which two are termed practice games and the remainder regular games. Tech will battle with Chicago Technical College at the Armory in the first game of the season. Since this will be the first en— counter for both schools it will in all probability be a practice game. Armour Alumni who are usually successful in gathering a winning combination, follow in the sched— ule five days later. This game will also be played at Tech home floor. Play U. of C. On December 12, Armour will en- gage the University of Chicago in a practice game which will be played at the University gymna- sium. . The Wheaton game which is listed for Jan. 8, 1930, has not been definitely agreed upon by the two schools. It will, according to Coach KraflEt,‘ be played probably on this date. iidering the conditions about ‘ seems that this schedule has n very wisely selected.

Questions may be submitlcd to the Sports Editor, A. H. Jens, or they may be placed in the Armour Tech News boa: which is located in the main building adjacent to the elevator on the first floor.) Question 1. What is the change in this year’s rules, it any, on the use of the screened pass? Answer 1. Not allowed except back of scrimmage line. Question 2.

Where is the ball placed in the following play? Answer 5. As described, there is “no possession and control,” there- fore it is an incomplete pass and counts a down. Question 6.

This play would either be allowed to go to completion or would be stopped with the signal, depending upon whether the gun was shot before or after the play was started. There ,would prob- ably be no such condition of simul- taneous action, for the timekeeper would gauge his signal to either prevent the play or allow it to be completed. intern-Fraternity lingo Tournament Plans @ompleic The Inter-Fraternity basketball each fraternity already having re- ceived notification of its practice evening in the gym.

ARMQUR TECH wows Class Basketball Managors Chosen Wirth E. Gustafson ’33, Harvey C. Rossing ’32, A. H. Jens ’31 and Don Smith ’30, have been appointed managers of their respective class basket ball teams. This quartet of inter—class basket ball executives, are already making arrangements for the 1929 hardwood. frolic which is expected to commence in the lat- ter part of November or the first week in December. Owing to the fact that the varsity basket ball squad is now using the school gymnasium for their prac- tice sessions, the interclass contest— ants willbe forced to remain idle until the varsity squad transfers its training quarters to the Armory at 35th and. Shields. Coach Krafilt has set the moving date for November 18, thereby au- tomatically leasing the school’s athletic dugout to the four class teams. After Krafl’t vacates the premises, a call for basket ball can— didates, water boys and stretcher tenders, will then be issued forth. The responders will be organized by their class team managers and the big event will follow. The Freshmen and Sophomores will uncap the proceedings with their annual cat and dog fray, fol— lowing whom the Juniors and Sen— iors will seek to outwit each other. The winners of the preliminary games will climax the whole sweat» ing business in the championship tilt. Wrestling ls Dropped From Armour Sports During the last few years less and less candidates have been turning out for the wrestling squad, consequently it has reached the point where Prof. Schommer thinks it unprofitable to continue the ex— pense of a wrestling coach. It is rumored that there is plenty of championship wrestling stock running about the school but due to the fact that their brains are getting such a workout, they are letting their bone crushing ability go to waste. Golf Tourney @wi‘loolr lilac The annual fall golf tournament may not be "annual” any more if things progress the way they look now. The affair this year, under the direction of J. Garth Sitzler, has so far been mainly talk. Many promises of immediate action have been made, but nothing has been done outside of making tentative plans for the event. It has been recently decided that the last plan is hardly feasible since it would be next to impossible to bring all the ilieicrs and barbell tools @ver 'lzcclr Pugs A couple of leather-punching gentlemen who mix work and pleasure and call it recreation, when it has to do with the: cavort— ing on a rope lined four—cornered ring, gave Armour’s pugs the once over last week, while the boys were doing their chores in the school gymnasium. These much welcomed intruders, by the way, were Messrs. Roy Peters and Ralph Garbctt, both of whom are well inclined in the art of swinging lists with the eight ounce knuckle protectors. Roy Peters is a personal friend of Coach Weissman, having made his acquaintance in Dave Barry’s gymnasium, where both have taken a good amount of stock in the box- ing game. Garbett’s identity is best depicted as follows: Ex—boxing Coach A. I. '1‘. Chem. ’29. This pair of Weissman’s guests took fancy to releasing a bit of their knowledge of the fisticuffiug business. Peters did his daily doz— en by competing with a few of the members, demonstrating in the meantime how to tip the opponents on their respective ears. of course Roy limited his strokes to a certain degree of eflectiveness but released a casual good pressured blow’now and then for the mere sake of pros viding a stimulant for the more body bending wallops that must be acknowledged in actual competi— tion. After the boys had consumed ' Peters’ advice and fully recuperat— ed from the effects of the prelim— inary workout, Coach Weissman concluded the evening’s proceed— ings by sending different pairs of his proteges through one and two round performances. Thus com- pleting the sixth practice session. Manager Stock is working hard on drawing up the schedule and hopes to have it complete within the next two or three weeks. candidates together at one time. It had already been decided that the old method of gradual elimina- tion would take too long a time. The method as now practiced in running this tournament seems to be to stand around and talk about it, meanwhile doing nothing. How- ever, hope is held now for early action along golfing lines in the spring. Prospects for the varsity golf team look, bright with three regulars back and a wealth of new material.

Lewis There was at one time great ri- valry between Lewis and Armour athletic teams. It seems that Lewis has gradually disappeared from the athletic picture. Why all this ancient stufi, any- way? Only this, Armour had a football team in ’97-why not in 1930? Today To get down to the present day we find that Krafit has what we think is a winning basketball team. Wouldn’t it be nice to write home and tell the folks that Ar- mour had won 14 of the regular games played? What can be done in baseball certainly can be done in basketball.
