Coach garnered Many- lliccords While a Swimmer MERMEN FORTUNATE In awarding our mermen due credit for their fine record, a goodly portion must be given Coach E. W. MeGillivray, Armour’s swimming tutor, who has gained national wide recognition for his swimming activities, both as a record making competitor and as a producer of consistent championship teams at the University of Chicago and other institutions. Although inade~ quate facilities necessitate the use of the University of Chicago pool, the Tech squad may be thankful indeed for the availability of such Hendricks ”liaison Net fihampionshlp Howard S. Hendricks, junior fire protect, is the victor and champion of the 1930 annual school cham- pionship tennis tournament. His victory is the result of a series of well played matches which he took with comparative ease until he reached the finals. Here his op~ ponent was Graham, whom he downed by a score of 7—5, 6—4 and 6-3. Play Hard Matches Both Graham and Hendricks had some interesting competition before they succeeded in getting as far as the final round;"the sched— ule was planned with a good pro— portion of even matches scattered all along the line.

Schedule Fifteen Games Next week the really serious practice will begin, for the team must be rounded into shape with all possible speed. The floor at the Armory is almost the maximum size. This will necessitate a change in the style of play, although the same systems will be 'used. The home games including those for practice will all be played at the Armory. The first game will be on December 1 against the Bakelite Corporation Stars. Although this game is only for practice, it is de- sired to have the team in a sem— blance of its perfection. The assistant managers, J. Owens and J. Jackson, are now hard at work. Each one is endeavoring to cinch the job for himself.

Is a. first down awarded the offensive team? Answer-Yes. Question 29. Offensive team tum. bles ball. Man of defensive team recovers it, but again fumbles it when he attempts to advance it. If team A recovers the fumble will they be allowed to advance it as the case would have been if they fumbled and recovered before the defensive team had the ball in its possession? Answer—As the play is described the defensive man should not at- tempt to advance the ball as it is only legal for him to advance it when ball is caught before it touches ground. When a fumbled ball hits the ground it is dead at point of recovery for the defensive team. Fumbles can be advanced only by the offensive team. How— ever, if they kick the ball they cannot advance it if they make re— covery after the defensive team touches it first or errors. The ball for the kicking team is dead at the point of recovery. The receiv- ing team may always advance the ball on any fumble after a kick. Question 30. Guard of offensive team is called back to kick the ball ' on a punt formation play. The ball is fumbled, depriving him of an opportunity to kick it. will he be permitted to advance it if condi- tions permit? Answer—files, if he was at least 5 yards back of the line of scrim- mage when the ball was snapped. When a guard is called back to kick, be automatically becomes a backfield man and may receive or throw passes, kick the ball or carry it. Question 3i. Quarterback of oil- iensive team stands 15 yards back of the ball. He makes a forward pass to one of his halfbacks who stands 5 yards ahead of him. Will the halfback he allowed to make another forward pass inasmuch as he is at least five yards behind the line ot‘ scrimmage. Answer—No, only one forward pass is allowed in one play.

It seems that the ability runs in the family as we discover Coach McGillivray’s brother’s name as a close competitor in similar events. Represented ii. A. C. Coach McGilllvray began his ath~ letic career under the auspices of the Illinois Athletic Club and under these colors garnered his records. He was one of the prominent sponsors of interscholastlc swim- ming which partly owes its exist. ence to his efforts in this regard. His work merited him a position on the team which established a national record for the breast 1e- lay. At this time he was also a member of the championship free relay squad, swimming the 100, 40, and 220 yard distances. His keen sense of humor gained for him the title of “clown" of the team. Going back about 20 years we find that Coach McGillivray‘s brilliant performances manifested themselves in records in the 40 and 100 yard swims. Shortly after this he became interested in coach— ing and was occupied in this line for some time in Omaha, Neb. Coaches Teams to Championships Coach MicGilllvray was not con-r tent, however, with his already ad:- mirablc record, but set about car- rying off all records and champion- ships ln the grueling mile swim. He traveled considerably during the course of these athletic en- deavors until ultimately landing in Chicago where he succeeded Joe White as swimming instructor on the Midway campus. He has en- joyed considerable success both as the University coach and the de~ veloper of the Armour team. His relay team at Chicago succeeded in setting a national record in the 160 yard swim. During his stay on the Midway, the Maroons have won the water polo championship twice, the conference championship two times, and have placed second all other times. Although his teams as a whole have been brilliant, Coach McGilli- vray has been the source of de- velopment at many individual swimmers, notable among them be~ lng one candidate who lacked a knowledge of swimming but who succeeded in winning a letter. With a background of instruction such as Coach McGllllvray makes ceeded in gaining numerous sums of money from Princeton alumni throughout the country. Last year there were more college students in the United States than in all the rest of the world com~ bined. There were 1,237,000 stu- cannot help but continue its cred- itable showing. California has one student to every 236 population; Wisconsin is second with one to 330; Michigan. has one to 462; Ohio, one to 518; Illinois, one to 524; Indiana, one to The interest was more general at the beginning, when the match was still anybody’s and many of the players were usually seen ire- quenting the courts and sizing up the competition. As the contest went along, these dropped off and the last few volleys over the cham- pionship net were witnessed by only a small handful of the ire- ternity partisans, whose enthusi— asm was constantly subjected to chills from the icy northern blasts which prevailed that afternoon. Tennis Courts Soft in this conectlon it should be said that the courts were in very poor condition, being still soft as a result of a steady morning drizzle which constantly threatened to turn into a snow. The consolations have been held up by the inevitable delays and have been officially declared as being closed, honorable mention in this part of the tournament be- longing to Berglund and Golden, who got farther than any of the others in the schedule. The semi—final was possibly the hardest contested part of the tournament, where Graham and Richter fought a hard battle which finally went to Graham by a (ME, 6-4, 8—6 score. .- Hendricks fought Drausc and downed him by a score of 64., 6—0 6-0. Dase was looked upon as being a possible champion, but he did not succeed in coming through, be— ing defeated by Drause in the fifth round by a out, 2-6, 8-6 score. Wins Four Matches A list of the men whom Hend- ricks downed in getting to the top reads as follows: Hammond, 6-2, 6—4; Wierzbowskl, 6—3, 6-4; Drausc, 6-1, 6—0, 6-0, and at the last, Graham, '7 5, 6—4, 6—3. “Professors should endeavor to make their students wise; students should do all they can to keep their professors young," said a professor in an address to the sophs at Mc- Gill university. Teachers in rural schools of Haiti cam salaries of four to five dollars a month. Look Out for blotter When the varsity meets the Alumni on December ninth in their annual basketball game, they will meet such old time stars as Vic Hofer, Bill Downcs, Otto Kuehn, Wil Kuffel, Wittie. Shoemaker, Brockman and Augustine. All of these names are famous in Armour athletic history. Each year a group of former athletes is gath- ered together to meet the varsity. The outcome of the game is usually in favor of the varsity. However, as was evident last year, the alumni have more than a China-- man’s chance to defeat the under- graduates. The old fellows did the trick in baseball and are likely to repeat in basketball. This More and That Thar About this here inter—fraternity basketball that them thar fellows from Michigan Avenue are talking about we have little to say. A new champion is likely to be deter— mined next month for each and every fraternity on the eastern front is determined to uncrown the twelve time champion Phi Pi Phi outfit Swimming Captain Eddie Knox of the swim— ming team tells us that the varsity is as strong as last year in every branch of the sport. As will be . remembered two men were award— ed major letters in swimming last year. Tennis Champ The continued warm weather of the last month enabled the com- pletion of the tennis tournament.
