Sfifidh or 35—23 Captain Robin Gathers 17 Points to Gain Single Game Scoring Record TO PLAY WESTERN STATE NORMAL NEXT invade the state of Michigan in the final exam week, where they will meet Western State Normal at Kalamazoo and St. Mary‘s College of Orchard'Lake. Western State, undefeated last year and conquerors of Armour once during the ensuing season. will be met on February 7. Victory over this powerful, high scoring quintet, will not be easy to attain. Their last meet at the Armory re- sulted in a 38—30 defeat for Armour. Our men, however, made a brilliant showing and evidenced that they are capable of providing the punch that can reverse the outcome in the second meet. Five hundred Wheaten fans packed the Wheaten gym to view Armour and Wheaton College in their second struggle of the season, last Thursday. Armour displayed ,a complete reversal of form to emerge triumphant 35-23 in a game that was marked with nu— merous fouls. The Krafftsmcn experienced no difficulty in scoring baskets when— ever they sought to increase the figures on the scoreboard. Captain Robin’s contribution of 17 points, was a feature of the game and in- cidently gave him the distinction of being the record holder in scor— ing during any one game. Wheaten Leads at Start Baskets by Rossing, Ott, Omie— cinskl and Moskowitz further aided Armour in attaining this decisive victory. Wheaten received a free throw in the first minute of play which gave them the opportunity to make the first score. They scored another basket shortly after to enjoy a 3—0 lead. Captain Robin then opened his scoring attack by sinking two bas- kets in succession, placing Armour ahead 4-3. After Robin aroused our men with his four points, Wheaten commenced to feel their sting and declined rapidly. Rossing, Rutkow— ski and 0miecinski sank baskets to give Armour a 10-4 lead. Lead Changes Continually Renew Activities with St. Mary's Armour’s recent victory over Wheaton College, has enlivened our men to a noticeable extent. It now appears as though a second consecutive victory is highly prob- able, although the task may resolve itself to be a difficult one. The game with St. Mary’s Col— lege will renew relations with that team for the first time in years. Just how St. Mary’s rank in the basketball sport is an unknown factor. Coach Krafift is merely staking his team’s strength against the strength of another, hoping that the result of the contest is a victory for Armour over a good team. “ Nelson and Fox Win Tail; fiuffi gfifl my“? Places in Track Meet a 0 ap i G. A. Nelson, freshman star, won first place in the 880 yd. run last Friday night in the dual meet be- tween the University of Chicago and Loyola. His time was 2:05. Captain H. L. Fox took second place in the 440 yd. dash with a time of 55.0. Nelson also tied for third place in the high jump at 5 feet 6 inches. Tech runners were invited to partake in the meet, the places scored, however, not being Armour Tech boxers displayed their wares before a highly dis- tinguished audience last Monday, when they clashed with the Head~ quarters Regiment squad. Many noted persons in and about Chi— cago were guests at the fights which climaxed an officers recep- tion. In addition to many high military officials, there were such well known personages as Anton J. Cermak, president of the County Board and present Democratic candidate for Mayor; Michael Igoe of the State Legislature, and nu— merous lawyers and judges. That the fame of our fighters has spread far, was shown by the fact that the hall was filled to ca— pacity. Even though the event took place on hostile grounds, there were as many Armour enthusiasts as there were rival supporters. The bouts were fiercely contested throughout with the final score re~ maining in doubt until after the last fight. Decisions Are Fair and Square The final figures were Headquar— ters Regiment 31/2; Armour 21/2. At the time of writing of this article a return meet is being fought, the results of which will be published in the next edition. One thing which surprised the Armour con- testants who are accustomed to fighting both their opponents and the judges, was the absolute fair- ness of the decisions. The results of the meet are as follows: Montesano, 112, lost to Oliva, 115. Sandstrom, 124, stopped Deagan, tournaments, held at most of the large colleges in the country. It is a manly sport and builds up both the body and the personal courage. Coach Weisman has announced his intention to sponsor a similar event at Armour. The plan has met with the hearty approval of Prof. ‘Schommer and will undoubtedly prove a huge success. It will be launched soon after the mid—year exams. Every student who is physi- cally able to do so should partici— pate in this tournament which will determine winners in each of. '7 classes. , All Men Eli-god to Compete The individual benefit derived from such a participation will far exceed the eflort. Those who show ability will naturally become poten- tial candidates for the team as var- sity boxers will not be eligible to compete. These bouts will be held in our home ring at such hours as will not conflict with the student’s studies. Those who are interested are urged to sign their names on the sheet posted on the bulletin board, together with their approximate weights. It is of course advisable to begin some sort of preparatory training. Coach Weisman extends H 26. Krutchten, 137, lost to Searing, 138.

Tech Wen In the game played with Whea~ ten last Thursday, Tech illustrated the proper method of playing bas- ketball—we mean the correct method in that Armour was the victor by a 35123 score. Perhaps the most gratifying performance of the contest was the work of Captain Robin, who totaled 17 points with 8 baskets and one free throw. We understand that this is the first game that the varsity has won away from Chicago in the past two years. Let's hope it won’t take quite so long to win another game ‘on foreign soil. Eleven Upalllleven Down Coach Kraftt used a football line-up of 11 men to meet the Wheaten ministers. This was necessary for 21 fouls were called against Tech. Wheaten too, was penalized frequently when the ref» eree called 14 fouls on them. Basketball, in fact all athletics will be thrown into the discard during the next two weeks when the final examinations are to be held. lntcrclass Meet The first meet to be held where all the candidates for the varsity track team are to compete is the interclass meet on February '7, at 2:30 P. M.
