Page Four dtlld’ltll h @l‘lldddh lddll Kuwaiti Men Demonstrate Superiority By Snappy Ghensive and Defensive Tactics SQUAD HAS THREE VlC’l‘ORiES T0 CREDET In their annual basketball game last Tuesday the varsity defeated the alumni 44-18 at the Eighth Regiment Armory. Coach Krafit started his first team of regulars to meet the fast breaking attack of the veterans. When on the defensive the old grads used a man to man style of play with Hofcr bearing the brunt of the varsity attack. Will Kul'fel, captain and center of the alumni team, directed the team play from the free throw circle by feeding the ball either to Schumacher, Downes, or Manz. The team presented by the alumni according to Krafft was composed of the best men who have ever played for Armour since he has been coach. Mistake in Time. From the opening, of the game until the final whistle neither side gave way to the other. Only at the start of the second half when the varsity dropped baskets in from all angles were the alumni unable to cope with Tech strategy. The game was more closely played than the score indicated. A mistake in time forced the game into an extra quarter, however, since little was at stake no protest was offered. Late in the game, after a concen— trated attack on the varsity goal Bill Downes' knee gave way and forced him from the game. Other casualties were largely caused by the hard playing of the teams. Changes Line-Up At half-time Coach Kraflt changed his line—up by placing his second team on the floor. Rossing distinguished himself during this _ period by counting five baskets. Alumni scoring was confined most— ly to Schumacher and Downes who were able to work through the close guarding of Rutkowski and Gus- tafson. After the game the Honor “A" Initiation Banquet was held at the New Southern Hotel. Twenty—five Chicago Technical College bas~ keteers were on the short end of the score last Thursday night when they fell before the Armour attack at the Eighth Regiment Armory by a score of 31-13. The first quarter had some good basketball to offer in fact, the op‘ ponents got off to a three point lead and succeeded in holding the Armour attack. However, had there been no fouls, no score would have been made, since three points men— tioned having been scored on free tosses. Leads at Half During the first half the Kraflt men succeeded in making six goals, Robin, Lind and Rossing sharing these equally. The visitors, on the other hand, fell behind and at the end of the half had scored two goals shots, while five points out of ten possi— ble ones were made on free throws. The score stood at 16-9 in Ar- mour’s favor when the whistle blew for the half. Bcemstcrboer Stars The second half was more or less uneventful, the visitors apparently being resigned to their fate by this time. Beemsterboer and Gustafson broke through time and again with fruitful results. The former was high point man for the second half, having scratched the opponents for seven points before they were fully aware of what was going on. Tech had numerous opportuni- ties to score on free throws,.but these evidently went wide of their mark because only three out of a possible nine found the basket. LINE-UP Armour—31 B Robin, R.

The purpose of this meeting is to make arrangements for an in- tensive practice schedule during the Christmas holidays Up to date, the team has had very little practice, due to the in» clement weather. The men, how- ever, are very anxious to get on the ice, and some have been putting in some of their time skating at the stadium. - The South Park Commissioners have agreed to let the team prac— tice on the Midway Ice Hockey Rink on Saturday afternoons from 2:00 to 4:00 and on Wednesday nights from 8:00 to 10:00. a} OHcOHHHi—‘owg Totals ................ 3 ,_. .1 Phi Pi Phi geeks Thirteenth Title On December 16 and 17 Armour’s fraternity teams will complete their preliminary rounds leaving only the championship battle on sched— ule.

The Triangles by virtue of their 24—11 triumph over the Theta X, are conceded the edge over their opponents. Beta Psi's chances of overcoming the Phi Kappa Sigma appear favorable.

ARMOUR TECH NEWS Lots of Basketball Basketball and more basketball seems to be the keynote of athlet— ics these past few weeks. Just think, six games were played last week, four in the Armour gym~ nasium and two at the Eighth Regiment Armory. The results of the varsity encounters were highly gratifying to the undergraduates for in the two games played the varsity squad ran up high score victories against the opposition. Slips and Slides In the game with the alumni, played last Tuesday, the regular squad totaled 44 markers against 18 for the former Tech stars. The game opened with a furious alumni attack that literally swept the var— sity oil their feet. To think of the varsity being swept off their feet after being equipped with Spaul~ ding non—skid basketball shoes is simply terrible. However, the gang began to click and the score mounted to 18 to 9 at the half. Of course the varsity had the 18 points. Out-Starred As a team of individual stars the alumni out—starred the varsity about live to one. Team work, es- sential to successful basketball teams was lacking in their attack which accounted for the high score against them. Kuffel, Downes and Schumacher played a fine floor game but lack of practice and be- ing out of training prevented a concentrated attack at all times. John Manz and Vic Holer played in the guard positions and clearly i1— lustrated how the game was played in the old school. A large number of fouls were recorded. due mainly to the effort in reaching the ball and not to intentional dirty work. We believe that with several weeks of practice, the alumni could give the varsity plenty to think about. Five Equal One Anyway the game was played in five periods of ten minutes each, a condition which was caused large— 1y by our efiorts. For further de- tails see your correspondent. Take a Peek Looking into the calendar for this week we find that Tech meets Wheaton College on Tuesday and Western State Normal on Friday. Both games are scheduled for 4:30 p. m., at the Armory. Admission is free to Armour students. Swimming and‘Boxing Swimming has its first meet on Thursday, when the Hyde Park Y. M. C. A. is engaged at the Y pool at 8:00 p. m. Boxing too has its first meet of the season on Friday at the West Side Y. M. C. A. Captain Ustryski tells us his team is in tip top shape, and should open the season with a victory. _ Interfraternity basketball has become too complicated for us, therefore we refer you to the adja— cent columns for the latest hap- penings in this sport. [Warmers to Meet Big Ten $cfioois The concensus of opinion, insti~ gated by the fine showing of the swimming squads in past seasons, is to the effect that the high cali— ber of the Tech splashers warrants engagements with stiffer competi- tion such as, for instance, the Big Ten Conference could offer. Manager Davidson announces that tentative arrangements for meets with Purdue, Wisconsin, and Michigan, have been discussed. Meets such as these will present an opportunity for the Tech mermen to display their wares, which should help considerably toward elevating Armour's athletic status. The season is to be opened with Hyde Park Y. M. C. A. on Thursday evening, at 8 P. M. In a previous meet Tech fish nosed out the Hyde Park squad by two points, and will be gunning for a more decisive vic- tory. Frotemilies End First Four Games of Cage Tournament Four of Armour’s fraternities. mixed in two games last Friday night to complete the second half of the first round of the inter-fra— ternity championship. The Phi Pi Phis emerged victorious over the Delta Tau Delta by a 13-4) score. Triangles’ victory over their op- ponents was featured by Lind’s ex~ pert markmanship. His volley of shots accounted for 13 of the 24 points. At the end of the first half the score was one sided making things appear as though the Tri— angles would pile up a much larger score. The Theta Xi, however, re« taliated in the second half and placed themselves on a level with the Triangles. The 12—3 lead, how- ever, was too ”large to overcome. The Phi Pi Phi victory, although fully expected was not easily at» tamed. Both teams were evenly matched and both experienced about an even number of scoring changes. Gisskc’s long shots, to- gether with Carlson’s five point contribution enabled last year’s champions to remain in the race. Phi ll’i Phi—«13 B. F.T. P.

The . game started slow with both teams trying for openings. Jacobson sank a basket shortly after the start of the game to give the Phi Kaps the lead, which they held throughout the game. Ander— son was the star player of their team, sinking five baskets, three in the third quarter and two in the fourth. Edelman made all three baskets for the Sigma Alpha ll/lu team. The second half was played much faster but most of the shots failed to fall in. the hoop. In the second game, Sigma Kap~ pa Delta defeated Kappa Delta Tau, 35-46, presenting a fast, snappy attack. Yuknis started the scoring by sinking two baskets in succession. Yuknls was the outstanding play— er, sinking ten baskets, six in the first quarter, and two in each of the second and third quarters. Goldman led the Kappa Delta Tau players with four baskets. Sigma Kappa Delta-«35 B. F .T. P.

M. «D. A., where they will tangle in a series of boxing bouts, the re oeipts from which will be utilized by the Kiwanis Club for charitable purposes. The aflray promises plenty of action as the West Side aggregation has acquired the repo- tation of being a well balanced. scrappy squad. This fight will serve as an example of the mettle of the Tech pugs this season as it will be their first baptism under fire. Although only a short tune is alloted our boxers for conditioning, each and every man has extended himself to the limit in order to be able to give a good account of him- self in actual battle. Coach Weissman states that these men will be the probable con- testants: Latkin, 160; Nelson, 155; Campione, 155; Captain Ustryski, 150; Kruchten, 135; Sandstrom, 125; Montesano, 114, and Donelly, 112. With the exception of Kruch- ten, these men have all seen ac- tion. Kruchten, although a begin- ner, has shown a willingness and interest and bids well to develop into a first class light—weight. Those who find it at all possible are urged to come out and support the team. . ‘1 3t mm" The nm 6-): Im-gddmmmnt I’lr'ah'an tuba capable “l // ‘//l///////m. a. a! measuring a current as rmazll as 10-11 ampcrs ”this little Tube Measures hears fienrurles at light Years Mistant 5...“; ' Y MEANS of a new vacuum tube called a low—grid-current Plio- tron tube, astronomers can gather the facts of stellar news with greater speed and accuracy.
