No Cuts in Squad An-
nounced, According
to Kraflt

PLENTY OF FORWARDS

 

Three weeks of practice and then
the Armour Tech basketball team
will play its first game.

Practice has now settled down
into a steady affair, with everyday
sessions beginning tomorrow with
the invasion of the Armory. This
will probably make most of the
squad feel more at home, for the
school gym is more or less or a ci—
gar box. The Armory floor, on the
other hand, is as big as they make
basketball courts.

Coach Kraflt has warned that he
expects the men to be in condition
for scrimmage as soon as the squad
hits the Armory floor. In prepara—
tion for this, short drills are held
each night in working the ball
through one or more guards. Short
scrimmage sessions are now held
without basket shooting in order to
gain condition in wind.

Thursday’s scrimmage brought
bad news when Miran received a
broken nose. This injury, however,
will probably keep him out less
than a month.

With the appearance of Tell, an—
other letter man, Krafit has quite
a few candidates for center and
forward positions. These include
Simpson, Rossing, Tell, Robin, Ott,
Sandsted and O’Connor. Among
the guards are numbered Paul,
Rutkowski, Miran, Bruni and Row-
ley. These men and some ten or
twelve others will be among the
twenty-five men whom Krafft ex—
pects to lead to the Armory tomor—
row night.

Unlike the coaches of other
sports, Armour’s boxing coach, Mr.
B. Weissrnan, will make no cuts in

Gridiron Queries !

   

 

By Professor John ll. Schommer

(Editor’s note: Professor John J.
Schommei‘, star player, conference
umpire, and leading football author-
ity, will answer through this column,
(my questions on football which are
puzzling our readers. Questions may
be submitted to the Sports Editor,
A. H. Jens, or they may be placed in
the Armour Tech News box which is
located in the main building adjacent
to the elevator on the first floor.)

Question .1. Quarter-back of of-
fensive team seeks to trick the de-
l‘ensive team by executing a play as
follows: All men on offensive are
called to a huddle with the excep-
tion of the center and end. Quartern
back signals for the ball, receives it
and immediately passes it to his
end, thereby making a play entirely
unexpected by the defensive. 115
the play legitimate?

Answer 1. No. There must be
seven men on line of scrimmage
the instant the ball is passed.

Question 2. Man of delensive
team intercepts pass; runs for the

wrong goal line and places ball on

the ground thinking that he scored
a touchdown. Can another player
of his team pick up the ball or
snatch it out of his hand if it was
not yet downed, and reverse the
run towards the right goal?
Answer 2. Yes, he may.
Question 3. Team A punts the
hall. Man of team l3: signals for a
free catch while the ball is in air.
In the meantime another player of
team B runs up under the ball and
picks it out at the air, as the team-
mate is about to catch it. Will he
be allowed to advance the ball?
Answer 3. No, he cannot ad—
vance the ball.

Question 4. A man receives a
pass behind the goal line. After
making three or four strides with
the ball in arm, he drops it. Does
the referee rule that a touchdown
was scored?

Answer 4. Yes, the score is al-
lowed if the receiver has possession
and control of the ball.

Question 5. Team A kicks to
score point after touchdown. The
kicker boots the ball over and be-
tween the goal posts, but a strong
wind carries it directly back caus-

 

the size of his squad. At present
there are twenty—five members and
all hold a secure footing with the
team.

The probabilities are that a few
men will be eliminated by n1id»sea~
son, but no injustice will be done to
them if they are eliminated, for by
that time they will have ample
time to prove their worth. Natur—
ally the less talented pugs will un-
derstand their relative position
with the squad and voluntary
resignations are more likely to oc—
cur than the involuntary ones.

Mr. Weissman’s present staff is
composed of five Seniors, three
Juniors, eleven Sophomores and six
Freshmen. The complete list of the
members is as follows: N. D. Buehl-
ing, ’30; M. C. Larkin, ’31; M. G.
Whitfcld, ’30; S. Schwartz, ’30; J. E.
Taylor, ’32; W. L. Sandstrom, ’32;
C. R. Mitchell, ’32; R. J. Schlosberg,

’32; J. P. Donnelly, ’33; M. Morowitz,
’32; C. N. Cannon, ’32; F. A. Ustry-
sky, ’32; E. M. Wojtasik, ’33; D.
Smith, ’30; C. B. Summer, ’33; E. J.
Lopatowski, ’31;‘C. 1. Johnson, ’32;
J. A. Clear, ’32; J. E. Clayson, ’33;
J. O’Hara, ’33; G. E. Wieland, ’32; E.
Wandrey, ’33; A. Montesano, ’31.

Police Chase Terminates

With Wreck 0n Field

For the second time this semester
a large section of the wooden fence
along the east and west sides of
Ogden field has been torn down by
passing vehicles.

Friday morning, about 5:30
o’clock, a stolen car while being
pursued by a police squad attempt-
ed to turn from Thirty—third street
into Federal, with the result that it
landed in Ogden Field after mak—
ing a large section of fence into
just so much kindling.

After the wreck the occupants
attempted to flee, amid a fusilade
of shots by their pursuers. One of
the bullets was reported to have
penetrated the window‘of the cafe-
teria.

Last month, on the Dearborn
street side, a similar opening was
made when a passing truck jumped
thecurbing and made a bee line
for the cafeteria.

 

 

ing it to fall on the inner side all
the goal posts. lls the team given
a point on the play?

Answer 5. The Western inter—
pretation of this does not allow a
goal. Eastern interpretation counts
goal.

Question 0. Team A is trying for
point after touchdown but fails to
carry ball across goal line. Team
B is oflside. Is the point awarded
to team A?

Answer 6. Yes,

Strauch in bringing in points in the

LATEST lN GAS ENGKNE

 

The automotive laboratory is
showing a new Packard aviation
motor this week. It is the latest
thing in aeronautical design and is
regarded as a big step along this
line.

The main feature about this
leader of engines, is the fact that
it is a twelve cylinder, inverted V—
type. The oil pan being on top
with the cylinder pointing earth-
ward, places the prop shaft about
six inches below the uppermost
parts of the motor, thus insuring
the best possible vision to the pilot
of the plane.

It is capable of developing six
hundred horsepower and has a to-
tal weight of around eight hundred
pounds. It is advertised at $12,000
and is coming into its own by be
ing used to deliver sound and news
reels for various film companies.
It is also employed by the Navy in
experimental work.

A very unique design was used in
manufacturing of the engine. The
two Scintilla magnetos placed at
rear of the engine. The twin igni—
tion system helps to do away with
the hazard of a forced landing.

The laboratory is indebted to Mr.
D. S. Elrod of the Chicago Packard
Company for the opportunity of
viewing this engine in our own
shops. lvir. Elrod placed the motor
in charge of. Prof. Roesch for a
period of about a week or ten days.

This motor has the characteris—
tic, clean cut Packard design and
should be seen to be appreciated
Prof. Roescli says that it would re—
pay every one in school to come in
and examine it.

Vernon Storm, manager of Inter-

practice periods and game schedule
for Inter-Class Basketball as fol—
lows:

Game Schedule

December 4, Freshmen vs. Soph-
mores.

December 5, Juniors vs. Seniors.

December 9, Championship game.

The Class Team managers are
requested to see Storm as soon as
possible about referees, securing of
equipment, and various other de-—
tails concerning the smooth play-
ing of these games.

No major or minor letterman is
eligible for a position on his Class
Team. This ruling has been greeted
by great consternation among the
upper—classmen, but joyfully by
those in the lower classes. The ob—
ject is to give those who have not
been on a regular team a chance to
show their skill.

At present it looks as if the
school championship is going to be
hotly contested. The winning team
will receive a trophy of some sort,
not to mention all the glory that
accompanies such an honor.

These contests are sponsored by
the A. T. A. A. in an effort to in-
crease interest in the sport, and
uncover material for the varsity
team.

The inter-class baseball cham—
pions, the junior class team, have
not received any awards for their
victories up to the present.

This matter will be brought up at
the next meeting of the Armour
Tech. Athletic association where
suitable action will result. The
junior class will then discuss and
vote upon the recomendation of the
A. T. A. A. Until such time as these
meetings are held the juniors must
remain without their awards.

In a meeting of the A. T. A. A.
last spring it was decided that
sweaters would not be awarded to
future class teams. However, some
other suitable award will be pre-
sented the victors.

King Simpson, President or the
Board, will call a meeting the latter
part of the week together with Mr.
Allison to determine just what
their finances will allow them to
purchase for the decidedly athletic
Juniors.

N. 3.5.. Call. Game

Sixty Armour men worked as
gateinen at the Noti'e Dame
Southern California game last Sat«
urday. The only recompense for
their services was an opportunity
to see the game.

King Simpson. president of the
Armour Tech Athletic Association,
who was in charge of the distribu—
tion, had little trouble in disposing
of the coveted. badges. He gave
preference to men who had good
records as ushers at the University
or Chicago games. and. next gave

of the Sophomore class.

 

 

In years gone by Armour has
been more or less in the sport spot~
light.

 

Small Five Champs

The baseball team of 1915 won
the Spaulding trophy significant of
the Little Five Baseball champion-
ship.

This cup reposes in the trophy
case located in the main hall just
to the right of the entrance to the
President’s omce.

 

Nearly the Big Ten

University of Chicago, North—
western, Notre Dame, and Univer-
sity of Illinois were all included in
the schedule of that year.

Tech has had teams in bowling,
water polo, cycling, and many
other sports which are considered
“old—fashioned" now.

 

No Spirit Here
Cross Country has been definitely
removed from the Tech Sport Cal-
endar, that is for the present year
at least. Lack of runners was the
principal cause for this decision.

A Meet Scheduled—But No Teams

Manager Schirmer was fortunate
in securing a meet with Elmhurst
but due to the disbanding of the
team the meet had to be canceled.

 

Those that have been training
for cross country are just about all
set for indoor track. Heck, the in—
door season won’t start until after
the Christmas holidays.

 

Well, as Professor Schommer
says, “A bit or proper exercise will
not hurt anyone.”

 

Schedule Change
We find that the basketball
schedule has been reduced slightly
in that the Chicago game and the
Chicago Tech affair have not been
officially scheduled.

 

A “Busted” Nose
“Von” Miran, hard—luck athlete,
is suffering a broken nose. In the
practice session of last Thursday,
“Von” collided with another player
with such force that his nose was
broken.

 

This means that “Wully” will
probably be out of the Inter—class
games which are to be played. in
several weeks. Sure is tough on
the Juniors for they were depend-
ing on Miran to help bring home
the class championship.

limiter-Frat. Manager
Now that “Bed" Weldon has been
appointed to manage all Eurasian
tensity athletics it will be i: t a
short time before he will have the
basketball bracket made out.

    

 

Fraternity basketball practice
will probably have to be such that
two teams will practice on the
same night. Lack or time is the
reason for the jam up.

 

A Slight Change
Fraternity games and pracfiee
will be played after the Christmas
Holidays not before as was @-

S. K. D. vs. T. X.
In the football game between the
T. X’s and the S. K. D.’s last week
several “niggers” were employed.
Henry Fox, loyal S. K. D. played in
the T. X. line where his ability as
a pass catcher was very evident.

 

After two hours of combat it was
decided that enough was enough
and the game was called. The final
score was 6 for the T. X. house and
6 for the S. K. 1). house.

 

 

Is This 9. Fact?
Anolfiier hole has been made in
the fence around Ogden Field. We
have obtained no statement as to
what happened, but our guess is
that ”Swede” Johnson ibis-gauged
one of his end runs and crashed
through for a nice gain.

 

The Armour baseball team had
batting practice last Thursday af—
ternoon at A. G. Spaulding Bros.
factory. Stehno, Simpson, Robin,
Link, Anderson, Rossing and
Coach Krafit have blisters on ‘meir
hands as a result of the afternoon
frolic.

 

Who Wants a Badge?
King Simpson is a popular man
on Friday mornings, it is then that
he passes out the ushers badges tor
the following day.

 

“lawn” Would
Way back in 1912 John Schem-
mer’s chief aim in the chem lab
was to make vinegar from every-
thing hi sight. That, however,
was in 1912.

Money goes up in smoke on the
steps of the West Virginia Univer-
sity‘s buildings. for it has been esti~

per week.
