. flmXiNG Joe: “Where did you ge‘t'that black eye?"

'Armour’s first boxing exhibition held last Tuesday
in our local gym definitely established this branch of
sport as the most popular of 'l'fech’s athletic activities.
Over one hundred and fifty spectators were on hand
at this time, abbot four times the number of renters
who were in attendance at any of the basketball
games this year '

In the past the boxing team has labored against
great odds, travelling to foreign rings for matches, and
having decisions rendered by hostile judges. Add to
this the difficulty of battling before a crowd, some-
times numbering over three hundred, of meters for
the opponents and you will have some idea of the
odds our boys have been up against.

In spite of these dlmculties, a squad has been de—
veloped which was able to defeat the Y. M. C. A. State
Champions last muesday, by a 3 to 2 score.- The last
time our squad met these men out at South Chicago,
Tech lost every bout. This is surely definite proof of
the advantages which are to be had by fighting in our
own gym.

Let’s have more of these matches at Armour, and
give our team a chance to develop further the talents
which the men have shown to be present!

It seems to be a certainty that when all other forms
of conversation languish, the weather is a flourishing
topic. This past week the market for weather (limos-
sion has risen rapidly, and no one, including the of-
fieial forecaster seems to be able to answer the riddle
oi’ whether or not spring is here.

It might be possible for learned meteorologists to sit.
back and chuckle at the antics of the weather, but
these vagrant actions of 01’ Man Nature are going
to bring gray hairs to our heads. The eternal ques-
tion is here, and with these days of spring and winter
intermingled, one hesitates to take the fatal step;
shall we wear a topcoat or an overcoat.

Furthermore, this weather is raising havoc with the
joys of the week end. These warm Tuesdays might
well inspire one to make a date for the ensuing week-
end; no sooner is the date made than an arctic wind
and torrenm of rain serve to dampen ono’s spirits. As
yet, President Hoover has not appointed a committee
to investigate this, but various minors are abroad.

Professor Arthur
Home Carpenter

(A Biographical Sketch)
or r. rim/iii. summon/inn

Arthur Howe Carpenter, Associate
Professor of Metallurgy, was born
at Georgetown, Colorado, October
19, 1817, where his father, the late
Dr. Franklin R. Carpenter, was a
mining and metallurgical engineer.
While still a lad, his father became
President of the South Dakota
School of Mines at Rapid City and
it was there he grew up and had
his early schooling. In 1894 he
entered Ohio University and from
this university obtained his Mast-
er's degree in chemistry. He spent
two years of his college life at
Northwestern University, Evanston,
where he was a member of the
Delta Tau Delta fraternity. He re-
turned to the Black Hills and was
chemist and assistant superintem
dent of the Deadwood 8: Delaware
Smeltlng Company. In 1901 he and
his father formed a firm of Con—
sulting Mining Engineers, in Den—
ver, Colorado, dissolved ten years
later by Dr. Carpenter’s death.
During these years he had wide
experience as a mining and geo—
logical cxpcrt. This practice cov—
ered all of the western mining
states. He was with the American
Smelting an Refining Company as
metallurglst three years and spent
seven years in Pittsburgh, Pa., and
in Colorado as research metallur‘
gist for the Ame1ican Vanadium
Company, coming to Armoux in
1920.

June 5, 1901 he married Margaret
Lucile Evans, daughter of David J.
Evans, who was for almost 50 years
Professor of Latin at Ohio Univer—
sity. There are three children,
Franklin ll, an alumnus of the

 

 

University of Chicago and now a
newspaper representative of 3mall«
Spencer 85 Levings of Chicago, Mrs.
Dale M. Button, on alumina of
Ohio University, of La Grange, and
Mary Elizabeth, a student in the
La Grange high school.

Besides Delta Tau Delta, Prof.
Carpenter is a member of Ameri—
can Institute of Mining 82: Metal«
lurgical Engineers, American Chem—
ical Society, American Association
for the Advancement of Science,

Society for the Promotion of Engln,

nearing Education, Pl Gamma Mu
Sons of the American Revolution
and American Association of
Variable Star Observers.

His hobby is astronomy. He dis«
covered a comet at fifteen years of
age, and has made two reflecting
telescopes, one of them 10 inches in
diameter. He proved the presence
of platinum in certain meteorites——
especially the one at Meteor Crater
in Arizona.

Freshman Receives

Peru Scholarship

Joseph A. Luzquinos, lVl.E., ‘33. is
the first of a number of students
to be sent to Armour from the “Es-
cuela de Artes y Oiicios,” at Chic—
layo, in the department of Lam-
bayequc, in fern. As its name
indicates, the school is what would
be called a technical high school
in the United States and intends
to send its most deserving student
to Armour every four years, with
all expenses paid.

Luzqulnos won the first award
and came to the United States a
year ago, arriving in February,
1929, to learn English.

Chiclayo is a. town of about 25,—
000 population and is located on
the coast of Peru. The “Escuela
de Artes y Oflcios” is the town’s
high school, supported by the gov—
ernment, and has about six hun»
dred students.

Question :-—Would you like to me
more boxing matches presented as
armour? ‘

W. ii. Larson; Arch. ’SS—Armom‘
has some scrappy fighters but we
need more. The difficulty in seeing
the match lies in the place times.-
entation. The match at the 381*
mont Y and the one at the South
Chicago Y were so distant as to
make them difficult to get to. Let's

’ have more matches at Armour.

Paul Ecostlcr, Chi}. ’33w-There
s no other form oi competition
that causes a greater feeling or
good fellowship than boxing. This
not only applies to competitors but
to the spectators as well. Anyone
who has observed the absolute lack
of formality at a boxing match will
appreciate this. Thus I say—more
boxing matches at A. I

Milton Kuether, CE . ’33-—Al—
though boxing is considered a
minor sport in the College calen—
dar, I believe it is. very interesting,
I wish that Armour could and
would hold more boxing matches
in our gym.

Carl iii, Poedtkc, CE. ’33—Boxlng
is one of the highest forms of ath-'
letlcs and should be given its
proper place at Armour. The fel-
low that boxes always has to be fit
and has to practice very much to
obtain the best‘results. The fellows
should realize this and support the
team.

W. lit. Trognitz, Chill. ’30-—- The
last bouts‘were certainly a success
and an indication; that we should
have more of them.

Before Pres ident Coolidge left ol—
fice he said that when he was out
he expected to do a. bit 01' wmttling,
Perhaps he knew how many pen—
cils those magazine articles would
use up.
