Winning of Second Annual invitational Meet

 

Highlight of Track Season—Nine Vic-
tories Give Qrall‘tmen Success

PAUL WlNS Homes lN correct: MEET

Baseball in 1930, under the direc-
tion of Coach W. C. Krafl’t and
Captain King Simpson, enjoyed a
prosperous season of nine victories,
one tic game and three losses. The
schedule as arranged by Manager
Short included some of the finest
college baseball teams in the mid-
dle west.

Notre Dame was played as an
opening gesture of the season. Al-
though the team suffered defeat.
it was definitely shown that there
was power in the Tech attack. No
Tech baseball team had ever be-
fore played Notre Dame and the
experience upset the boys consid-
erably. A return-game later in the
season would undoubtedly have
proved the superiority of the yel—
low and black squad of Armour
Tech. However, since the return
game was never played, much con—
tention as to its outcome results.
The loss tended to steady the wob-
bling team for four victories were
chalked up before another loss top—
pled hopes for a duplicate of the
’29 record of 13 wins and a single
loss.

Stehno Beats De Kalb

Stehno was credited with a vic~
tory over DeKalb, 4-3, although
Tech bats were strangely silent.
While Armour was gathering four
runs on four hits, DeKalb was
forced to be content with three
runs on nine hits. Perhaps it was
the strikcnout pitching of Stehno
that subdued the visitors.

Lake Forest and Western State
were mowed down, 6~3, and 5—4 re—
spectively. Captain Simpson is
credited with both victories. Then
Stehno took a hand and downed
Michigan State Normal. 8—5. An
upset was created when Der Kap-

The crowning event and by far the
most notable achievement of the
team was the unexpected victory in

meet which was held at Bartlett
Gymnasium, University of Chicago,
Tech scored twice the number of
points of its nearest rival, B squad
of Chicago.

Practice was held regularly in
Bartlett Gymnasium starting Jan—
uary 15th. A month later the in—
ter-class meet opened the indoor
season of six meets. The Junior
class team of 1931 copped first
place by the slim margin of two
points. Following this meet, Tech
and the strong Loyola team, 501/2—
351/2. In the latter meet, Elmer
Sademan, the freshman fire pro-
tect, broke all existing school rec—
ords in the two mile run. Elmhurst
then followed in the schedule and
was promptly defeated 49—31.

A team of nine men was sent to
the Illinois Relay Carnival held at
Urbana, Illinois on March 15th.
Captain Paul proved his ability in
the shot put by winning a second
place from a classy field of univer-
sity athletes. Tech relay squads

[had difficulty on the hard track
‘ and were unable to place.

Crane Junior College was the
fourth victim of the season falling
to Tech 52—29. A triangular meet
with Sears—Roebuck and Chicago
Normal College provided the set—up
for the fifth consecutive Tech vic—

 

tink lost on Ogden Field to West-
ern State Normal. The score of
this contest was Tech 3, Western;
State 10. Michigan State fell for‘
the second time of the season and‘
the fourth time in two years, 10—6.l
Then Simpson made baseball hisJ
tory by pitching a three hit, thir—i
teen inning, one to one, tie game
against Lake Forest. Nineteen en—
emy batters were baffled by the
bending curves of Simpson. As
matter of course, Y College was
dumped, 15—3 and DeKalb defeated
for the second time of the season,

Coo Downed with Two Hits

The two final games of the year
were played where the tall com
grows in Iowa. On Friday of an
eventful week, Armour engaged the
University of Iowa in what resulted
in the biggest upset of the year.
With Simpson in the box making
a final bid for inter-collegiate fame
it seemed to be Armour’s day. The
cards were stacked differently and
after nine innings of miserable
baseball, Tech embarked for Cedar
Rapids with a stinging 21-1 defeat
behind them. A fighting mad con-
tingent of engineers met the highly
touted Coe College team at Cedar
Rapids on the day following the
Iowa upset. Chief Stehno never
pitched better baseball than he
pitched that day. He mowed down
enemy batters nine times by strikes
and allowed two scattered hits.
Tech bats again were quiet, but
not quiet enough to total two runs
on four hits.

That, in a general way, tells you
what the 1930 baseball season was
like.

Paul tied the Bartlett
record in the shot put with a heave
of 46 feet, 9 inches. Thus the in—

glory‘six victories without a single
defeat.

Captain Paul won a third place
in the shot put at the Drake Re—
lays held at Des Moines, Iowa. His
throw was 48 feet, 7% inches by
far the best he had ever done in
competition.

An out—door invitational meet
was attempted as the first out—door
competition for the team. Chicago
took team honors while Tech rested
in seventh place. Following this
came a series of two losses by very
slim margins. Wheaten and Y Col-

by a 62 to 55 score and the former

October 3rd. A practice and play—
ing schedule has already been
compiled by Coach W. C. Krafft
and work of organizing the teams
is in progress.

Last year’s rules will again be
in effect this season. Under these
rulings, all lettermen are eligible
for competition but will not be per-
mitted to play their regular posi—
tions. Each class will be allotted
one evening for practice. Players
reporting for practice will be ob—
liged to bring their own gloves,
shoes, and clothing, while bats and
balls will be furnished by the
school.

Following is the practice and
playing schedule:

Civils, Chemo Visit
Geological Exhibit

The Juniors and Seniors of both
the Civil and Chemical Engineer—
ing departments made an inspec—
tion trip to see a geological exhibit
at the rooms of the Western Soci-
ety of Engineers in the Engineer!
ing building at Wacker Drive and
Wells Street last Wednesday, Sep—
tember 24th. The trip was conducA
ted by Professors Carpenter and
Stevens.

At the exhibit the party was con—
ducted by Dr. Layton, Chief Geolo-
gist for the State of Illinois. he
explained how the geologist goes
about locating veins of coal and
minerals as well as gravel and
stone pits. He pointed out the var-
ious important features of the dis
play which included for the most
part samples of the natural re—
sources of our state. Coal, one of
the most important of our natural
resources, occupied a very promi~
nent place in the collection of dis-
play articles. Professor Carpenter,
himself a geologist, took an ex—
treme interest in the exhibit.

 

If we think our customs are un«
usual, let‘s look at some of the
queer vogues at the University of
Vienna. Every fraternity initiate
must learn duelling before he re—
ceives membership into the organi—
zation; professors attend class in
swallow tail coats; compulsory at—
tendance at class lectures is out
of the question.

Existence must be very “hum-
drum” at the University of Mich—
igan for those students who own
automobiles. They may have cars,
but they are not allowed to take
other ‘ ' ‘ for “rides.”

By establishing a system of pro-
fessional training schools, the Fed-
eral prison service hopes to attract
more college men into that work.

BACK TO THE OLD Mill

Well, well, here we are back to
our old task again. We present the
latest edition of Tech Shorts one
week late, but better late than
never. Thanks to F. A. this column
appeared in last week’s paper.

As of old we hope to give in brief
form the high lights of Armour
athletics. As an opening gesture
we will present the “dope” on the
impending baseball classic at Tech,
the interclass baseball series.

ENTERCLASS BASEBALL
It looks at the present time as
though the class champions of last

‘year will come through and win

the championship again this year.
The present senior class swept away
all opposition to meet the class of
’32 in the finals last year. After
several postponements and tie
game activities it was declared that
the class of ’31 was the champion
team.

The regulations governing play
in this series does not prevent let—
termen from taking part. How-
ever, one restriction is offered, that
is that letterinen may play any
position except their regular posi-
tion on the Varsity nine. Thus
Captain Robin who has played first
base for three years must find a
new position. Chief Stehno, who
rates a pitcher‘s box, will probably
play third base for the seniors.

 

SENIOR TEAM LOOKS GOOD

Others who will undoubtedly
wear the ’31 uniform are Chas.
Mago, Pepe, Drigot, Link and
Milan. All of these men have at
one time or another won the colors
of Tech on the baseball field.

Austin, Fiala, Henson and Mia
chalslri all played last year.

The junior team with Cannell in
the box will present plenty of com-
petition to the other class teams.
As usual the Fresh are an unknown
quantity. The sophomore team also
has to prove its ability both in the
field and at the bat.

Professor Neel-imam
Quins Rho Della Rho

Professor Henry L. Nachman has
become associated with the Rho
Delta Rho fraternity as an honor"
ary member and faculty adviser.
He was formally initiated on June
11, 1930 at a banquet held at the
Bismarck Hotel. Every alumnus
who was in Chicago at the time
was present, including the found-
ers of the fraternity. He was
warmly welcomed into the chapter
and graciously accepted the re—
sponsibility. With Professor Nach—
man on its advisory board, Rho
Delta Rho looks forward to many
active years. Professor Nachman
is professor of Thermodynamics at
Armour.

 

 

In a recent survey at the Uni—
versity of Oregon it was found that
most of the students study Sunday

W S. E. Opens Series

of Science Lectures

 

The Western Society of Engineers
are opening their series of science
lectures, which are given on the
first Monday of each month from
October to April, with Dr. James H.
Breasted of the University of Chi--
cago speaking on “The Beginning
of Engineering as Revéaled by the
Earliest Monuments." Dr. Breasted,
who has given up outside lecturing
excepting this one occasion is the
head of the Oriental Department
of the University of Chicago, and is
a noted authority on Egyptology, as
well as a member of the leading
scientific societies.

The series are to include lectures
on such subjects as astronomy,
physics, chemistry, geology, biology,
and mathematics. The talks will
feature the latest developments in
each of these fundamental sciences.

The list of future speakers in—
clude such men as Dr. Compton.
the president of Massachusetts In-
stitute of Technology; Dr. Shapley,
director of the Harvard Observau
tory; and Dr. Howe, the editor of
“Industrial and Engineering Chem-
istry."

For the first time in ten years
the University of Ohio is taking
a complete census of its nearly 25,-
000 graduates.

President Talks
to Q's-ash group

 

Dr. Raymond. president of the
Institute, gave the principal ad—
dress 01' welcome to the class of ’34
at their first assembly last Tuesday
morning at 10:30 in the Assembly

Hall of the Mission.

Dr. Raymond, after his short
message of welcome, told the fresh—
men that it was not only the scho-
lastic grades made at Armour that
would influence their post graduate '
life, but that the habits formed
during the four years here would
also have their effect. It would be
well then, he said, to be honest and
courteous and, above all, try to do
what is right. He closed his talk by
reminding the fellows that the
Deans' office is always open for
consultation.

Dean Penn, dean of engineering,
followed Dr. Raymond with a talk
on the duties that he performs in
the deans’ office. He particularly
mentioned that all students must
turn in program cards, neatly done.
An explanation concerning the
methods of the scholarship records
kept at Armour closed his speech.

Dean Palmer had distributed to
each freshman a little booklet
which is extremely helpful to one
just entering college. While Ar-
mour has but few conventions, the
few that we have must be strictly
observed. Dean Palmer remarked
in this connection that smoking in
the buildings or on the front steps
of the main building is prohibited
and that wearing hats in the build—
ing is not recognized as the correct
thing to do.

The clean of students terminated
the assembly by saying that to
study efficiently, a budget of time
must be made.

A sorority of the University of
Indiana refrained from the use of
cosmetics until their alma mater
should win a game. Still another
group joined a “No-Shave Club”
by law of which they refused dates
to beardless men.

arious scenes of the annual plev
eating contests which are held at
the University of Denver sometime
