Under the direction of Coach Krafft. Manager E Erland was also on hand to view develop» ments. The whistle found quite a number of eager candidates re— sponding. The freshmen copped the honors for the number of new men present. The men from last season who reported for practice the first night were C. Robin, cap- tain; F. Rutkowski, H. Rousing, W Miran, S. A. Ott, T. O’Connor and S. Lind. Practice in Tech Gym The practice for the first two weeks will take place in the Ar- mour gym on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings, from 4:30 to 6:00 P. M. The thorough knowl- edge of drill fundamentals will be the object of these practices. Coach Krafi’t stated, “A team that knows the fundamentals well will never be beaten badly.” The drill will be on the correct ways of holding the ball, shooting, passing, and proper footwork; with a special emphasis on form. Better Season Promised Not much can be said at this early date, about the prospects of the team, but with seven men back from last year’s squad, the outlook on paper is rather rosy. On the whole the men are quite small, but they may make up for this defect by speed. A well developed team will often he found superior to a tall one. All in all, a better season than last is hoped for. The sched- ule seems to indicate that the boys will have no easy time this season. but a few appearing setups will keep the edge of condition from be- ing worn off by too much tension. The squad will finally be thinned to about twenty-five men and Ar- mour's showing will depend on them The following is the official schedule of games for the 1930-31 basketball season.

At this stage of the practice it is difficult to state the strength of the Tech squad. With Robin, Rossing, Rutkostki, Miran, and Ott to build a team around, a fast experienced floor team should be developed. Perhaps interfrater~ nity basketball will bring out men of ability to fill in as substitutes in the varsity squad.‘ S. K. D. vs T. X. A game of touch football is sched- uled between Sigma Kappa Delta and Theta Xi for this afternoon. As usual the game will be played in Ogden field starting around 4 p. m. T. X. has a strong squad of footballers who take their touch football serious. Lately a series of intra depart~ mental athletic contests has devel— oped. The first game of this type was played when the sophomore Civil basketball team defeated the junior Chemical outfit, 24—14. A game is to be played today between the Chemicals and the junior Fire— protects. Tennis Tournament Dick Eddy, captain of the varsity tennis team, states» that a school champion will be declared this week when the final round in the annual Fall. tournament is to be played. Did you know that at one time there was a bowling team at Tech? Swimmers Starting Tryouts for Squad Activities of the Mormon are still as yet confined to practice maneu~ vers. Practice and tryouts are in progress and will probably continue so until the first of the year, when the vanguard of the competitive schedule will be encountered. Among the new men who show promise are: Paul, Thompson. Brockman and Koenig, all of whom excell in the dashes. Hopes of a regular Polo team at Armour have dimmed because of the impossibility of devoting the extra time required. Manager Davidson is preparing an unusual schedule which he hopes to have completed after the holidays, at which time the swim- mers should be in tip top form. The physician of the University of Oklahoma advises that, in order to do justice to his work, an athlete should rest an hour after compet— ing before attempting to do any study.

'E‘CURNEY Keen Rivalry Will Mark Annual Competition For Title Pill PE’S CHAMPS NQW When the inter—fraternity bas- ketball tournament gets under way on December 11, nine teams will wage warfare against one. This one team is the Phi Pi Phi team, winners of the inter—fraternity bas- ketball tournaments for 12 consecu— tive years. Any one of the other nine teams will Welcome the championship but none will be as hopeful of winning it as they will be in seeing the Phi Pi Phl’s lose it. This 12 year reign by the Phi Pi Phi’s has given them permanent possession of four cups. The other teams fear that if the champions continue at this pace, interest in inter-fraternity basketball will soon fade. This is an evil that they must avoid and their means of do- ing this will be to down the Phi Pi Phi’s in the coming classics. Tough Competition The present year finds the cham— pions as favorites again. Their probable starting line—up will in— clude Gisske, Henke, Carlson, Leichtenberg and MacLennan. Three of these men performed with the juniors, one with the freshmen and the other with the sophomores in the recent inter—class contest. If this line—up is presented when the tournament starts, the going will be quite tough for the opposing teams. Last year’s final game was played between the Delta Tau Delta house and the champs. The schedule this year places the Delts in the same division with the Phi Pi Phi’s. This leaves the championship of the other division at stake to five teams which will be headed by the Sigma Kappa Delta house. In all proba- the winners of the two divisions will be played by the Sigma Kappa Delta and Phi Pi Phi. Sigma Kap- pa Delta boasts of a line-up con« sisting of Kutteruf, Yuknis, Stehno, Landwer and Reed. They appear capable enough of. downing any er they do or not remains to be seen. Maybe Belts This Year Delta Tau Delta is likewise con- ceded a chance to do a majority of the winning. Beal, Johnson and Pres Cone are among the staff that will represent the Delts in the tour~ namcnt. Beta Psi with Settcrberg and Johnson are looked on as strong contenders for the honors in the first division and will no doubt of— fer the Sigma Kappa Delta's a good deal of competition. The first game in the tournament will be played by Phi Kappa Sigma and Sigma Alpha Mu. Phi Kappa Sigma with Hendricks, Jacobson and Wilson in the line—up are con~ ceded a wedge over their 0pm 2,160 of them. ponents. ‘lfidldfid ing of a boxer in the ring, depends on his physical condition, regard— less of the skill of his opponent, Coach Weisman is showing his pugs no mercy in his determination to display his squad in tip top phys— ical condition. Every man must adhere strictly to training routine or be unworthy of consideration. Various outside boxers have vol- unteered their aid in helping Coach Weisman realize his hopes. Among these are listed Ernie and Roy Peters. both of whom are well known Chicago fighters, and a for— mer Intercollegiate Pacific Coast Middleweight champion.

The majority of the trackmen will start indoor practice at Bart~ lett Gym within the next two weeks. This year’s prospects are very promising with fourteen men, in— cluding five major letter men, of last season’s undefeated indoor track team returning to action. Captain D. J. Paul, champion shot putter and high jumper, V. Stulm, short distance runner; J. J Kara, hurdler; and D. T. Smith, miler, have been lost to the team thru graduation. The following men will be back F.

The first meet will be the inter“ class affair which will take place about the middle of next February.

Tennis Tourney Nearing Finals This year’s tennis tourney is one of the best that wd have had for some time past. One of its best features being the well planned schedule which was based on the known ability of the contestants. ~A valuable asset to any sports competition is the match which is almost an even break, and if any~ thing can be said about our an— nual tourney, this is one of the things which has aroused interest in the matches. Some of the men who are new« comers to this sport have succeed- ed in making a. very good showing out on the courts during the last two weeks, and they will be given a good tryuoutnext season. The playing has been spirited, although some of the players claimed to be rusty because they stopped playing when the first spell of cold weather came along last month. yet the whole proceeding has been very satisfactory. The tournament is in the fifth round at present and two of the four matches have been put out of the way. H. P. Richter won over Curran by a score of (6—3) (7-5). Draus defeated Dase (6-4) (2-6) (8-6). These two players are now in the semi—final round. The finals should be completed by the end of this Week.
