Ball carrier acci— dentally collides with the rcieree, who i'ails to get out oil the way quick enough. This collision de- prives the man of making a long gain or possibly a touchdown. What is the referee’s ruling in this case? Answer: Play is ruled as it de~ velops. No loss granted for inter— ference by officials. Question 23. Quarterback oi’ oi— fensive team makes a forward pass to an end. The end in return passes it laterally to a half-back but the pass is thrown inaccurately causing the hall—back to pick it all the ground. Will he be permitted to ad— vance the ball or is the ball brought back as the case would be on an in- complete forward pass? Answer: Hullaback may run with the ball as in a fumble but the op- ponents can only recover unless they catch hall before it strikes ground. Question 24. It a lateral pass is fumbled docs it become a tree ball? Answer: Yes. Dead at point of recovery on striking ground for the defensive but a live ball for the oflensive. Question 25. Offensive team is on their own five yard line. They lit- tempt a pass behind the goal line on the last down. Does the defen- sive team got possession of the ball on the live yard line or is the bail brought back to the twenty yard line as the case is when a'team ‘ punts the ball oyer the goal line? Answer: Play as outlined is a satiety by definition and the often- sive team puts the ball in play on their own 20 yard line by a free kick. The defensive team, however, may refuse the safety which nets them two points, and elect to put the ball in, play on the five yard line. Question 26. Offensive team is on their own one yard line. Quarter- back fumbles ball and recovers it but is tackled before he crosses the goal line. is the dclcnsivc team awarded two points on this play? Answer: Yes. Tennis Chamomile to I The deadlock was registered at the Lincoln Belmont “Y." Mr. Weissman is a graduate of Lane Tech High School and an alumnus of Del’aul University. at both of these institutions the box- ing mentor" was awarded letters' in basketball and football. His box- ing ability could not. manifest itself inasmuch as boxing teams did not exist at these schools. Coach Weissman is generally recognized to be one of Chicago’s foremost amateur boxing instructors, as may be judged by( the fact that he has turned out a number of reputable fighters. ”Prior to his appointment at Armour, Weissman was connect- ed with Dave’XBarry’s gymnasium, where he served in a capacity as in- structor, trainer, and sparring part— ner. His knowledge of boxing, coupled with his experience among fighters oi? note, makes him invalu- able as a second whose advice is so necessary to the boxer. This was demonstrated many times during the course of the season, when through his encouraging advice. the fighters received moral support which enabled them to last the dis— tance. Although he has found it neces- sary to work with a green squad, Coach Weissman predicts that this year’s record will be on a par with last season’s standing. His genial personality and ever- lasting patience has made him a favorite among the students. Those students who desire a knowledge of the manly art, and who wish to take advantage of the opportunity, should not hesitate to do a), regardless of their ability.

This Wash Late reports on the big annual tennis fray indicate that all is well with the schedule and everything else that is connected with this year’s tourney. The probabilities’ are that the championship will be awarded to the sole survivor of the eliminations some time during this week. Considerable enthusiasm has been the contribution of the con- testants, who have in almost every instance played their matches with- out undue delay. It seems that the display of skill is better than is usually encountered at this time of the season and most of the con- tests have been a fairly even match. Extra sets have been the deciding factors time and again even in the early rounds when things were just getting under way. tween H. P. Richter, Graham, Drama, and Hendricks. For a while it looked as though Draus wouldn’t be playing in the sixth round, but he succeeded in downing Base by a score of (6-4), (2—6). and (8-6) after a session of fast volleys had gone over the net. The courts are in relatively good condition at the present time. our hope being that they will continue to be that way until the champion- ship has been decided. The consolation players are lag- ging behind right now and do not seem to be very much inspired.

Both teams opened up strong but soon settled down to a fast, steady game. Stan Lind was the stellar player for the Chemicals, and Stai- zer did most of the scoring for the Flreos. Scanlon and Tilt also came through with their share‘of the points for the F. P. E. squad. Field and Blom were two others who backed Lind up and fed him the ball. They did their stuff in the long shots and accounted for a good part of the score. The Chemical squad showed a well balanced team on the floor that worked in unison to a great extent. Although their opponents were good individual players, they lacked the practice that would have made them act as a unit. Short quarters were played and this speeded up the game considerably since both squads were unusually small.

Thirty—sixth Edition This is the 36th‘presentation of Tech Shorts. When we reach the 50 mark we’ll hold a celebration of some sort or other, perhaps we’ll serve cigars and older. Who knows? And what’s more. who cares? hots oi' hashetboll At any rate we are in the midst of a basketball season. With the varsity basketball practice and the annual civil war of the fraternities there is plenty for the dopestcrs to think about. We are inclined to believe that the varsity will do much better this season than in the past few years. However, at this stage oi the game predictions are merely based on former records and experience.“ The-varsity squad ' has much of the latter but little of the former. Schommer and Wars Speaking oi? civil wars reminds us of an article that .la-wn ..l‘. Schom-_ mer wrote for this paper last year. Professor Schommer wrote on the subsidizing of athletics and profes— sionalism. Several of the daily Chi« cago newspapers raked our well known director over the pan for his views on these highly important subjects. Perhaps we might secure another such article on a different phase of college athletics from Pro~ lessor Schommer. No lilo Our correspondent in fraternity basketball gave a resume of condi- tions on the battle front in last‘ week’s paper. According to him it looks as though anyone of the ten fraternities might win the inter- iraternity gafialon. A secret bulle— tin issued by the S. K. D. House re- ports that their team won a tight game from the Memorial Boy Build- ers, 43—11 in a basketball game held last Tuesday. other bulletins will be released as soon as they are re— celved. Fraternity Touch Football Touch football came into its own on Armistice Day when Ogden Field was literally over-run with foot— ballers. The groups were separated somewhat as follows: Theta Xi vs. Phi Pl Phi; T. X. vs. S. K. 1).; D. T. D. vs. D. T. D. Several of the fraternities engaged in contests among, themselves. The much advertised T. Zip—S. K. D. game ended 24), in favor of T.

The team's roster lists only one senior, Capt. Knox, three juniors, with the balance being made up of sophomores and freshmen. This is a highly desirable condi— tion as these lower classmen will be expected to fill vacancies, caused by graduation. For some reason or other the meta lor award in swimming is a minor letter. A major letter in this sport would undoubtedly stimulate more interest, inducinga greater hum- ber of men to turn out. In spite of this fact the team has always sue- ceeded to make a creditable show— ing and should continue to do so. A special opportunity nresents it— self to anyone who can swim the backstroke, as this position, for which new men are welcome, is not so well fortified.
