The Tech pugs were bubbling over with confidence and enthusiasm and under no circumstances would have accepted defeat. Colonel Reilly of the soldiers was apologetic for his action, but insisted that sickness and unforeseen army maneuvers necessitated the postponement of the bouts, which will be held some— time next semester. “Y” Men Are Semi—Pro On Feb. 14, Coach Weisman will lead a picked squad of battlcrs to Springfield, 111., for an engagement with the well known state capital Y. M. O. A. scrappers. These down- state glove vendors are so-called semi-professional, being enrolled in the A. A. U. This fact was not re» vealed in the correspondence of the two managers, but was disclosed when it was found that the local Y. M. C. A.’s do not engage this squad because of their advanced standing. This precaution may seem useless to outsiders but must be taken in order to lessen the pos- sibility of injury to the inexperi- enced members. Seven Men Take Trip Most of the members of the Springfield team have served as representatives in the Chicago Golden Gloves tourney. We are advised that even at this early date interest is running high in antici— pation of this contest which will undoubtedly be the most important amateur boxing contest held in Springfield for some time. According to Coach Weisman, the ‘ a men will probably make the trip: Montesano, flyweight; Weatherfinds Reign @i Armour Powhatan The unusually warm weather has put an end to hockey for this year. In spite of the poor weather and the lack of competition the team has one definite accomplishment to its credit. It has decisively proved that Armour is capable of produc— ing a hockey aggregation. The men on the team were for the most part underciassmen who have two to three years of play before them. lvtarando and Blahna will be lost through graduation but Barnett, Stevens, K0110, Bestier, Viktora, Munro, and Stensivek will be ready when the first call for candidates is made next fall. Next year the team will take adm vantage of their bad luck with this year’s weather. They intend to follow the practice of the Canadians and the professional players. Prac— tice sessions will be held in the gymnasium until the ice is frozen. Arrangements will be made for a rink and games will be played be» ginning with the first day of ice. A genuine fast-breakingscrappy team will take the ice next winter to carry the Black and Yellow to vic- tory. W C 9. mp l o n i, middleweight, and Larkin, lightmheavywelght. After this engagement the team will have two weeks more of prepa- ration before they journey down to Bloomington, 111., to engage the state Y. M. C‘. A. champions. On March It, the Tech Squad will again take the road to furnish competi- tion for the Culver Military Acad~ emy fighters. One or two meets at home will wind up a busy season for the leather~pushers LATE SPORTS Western State Normal of Kala- mazoo, Michigan, defeated Armour last Saturday in basketball for the second time this year. The final Sandstrom, featherweight; Kruch~ ten, lightweight; Capt. Ustryski, welterweight; Rush, middleweight; score was 60~23 played at the win- ner’s gym. . To Engage Bloomington Y. M. C. A. mad Start From Scratch Again Well, well, here we are in another semester. For some of us it is to be our last in college, very sad in- deed. At any rate this semester will see the passing of many fine athletes from Armour teams. We could list these names and tell what each has done but we reserve this for later in the year when the graduation season is upon us. These College Days? At any rate, we still have a bas- ketball season to finish, a track season to begin, boxing and swimv ming to complete and a new semn ester to provide the thrills of being away to college. Now That Reminds Us Speaking of basketball reminds us that our up and coming varsity bucket droppers spent last evening near Detroit. They played St. Mary’s hoop rollers in a game the outcome of which was not known at this writing. Nevertheless, the team enjoyed a three—day sojourn in the city where automobiles are e. Something About History Perhaps you have heard tales of how John J. Schommer won an even dozen letters at dear old Chi- cago. How he single handed or sleight of handed carried the Ma~ men to victory! We can't vouch for the twelve letters but we can say Tuesday, February 10,. 1931 that John’s picture appears no less than nine times in the University of Chicago Hall of Fame. These include baseball, football, track and basketball. It was "in the latter sport that Schommer earned the title, “Long John. the greatest bas- ketball center in history." Wasn’t it Dr. Scherger who class- ified history as past politics? How would you figure Schommer’s rat» lug using this data? lax-Captain Kara. injured We learned to our sorrow that James J. Kara, varsity track cap- tain in 1929, was seriously injured in an auto crash last week. Ac- cording to reports his automobile collided with a post while moving at a high rate of speed, wrecking his car and breaking both his legs. Kara, known to‘ his team mates as “Nap" and "Bananas” carried the brunt of the hurdle work in the past three track seasons. He pos— sessed excellent form when going over the high barriers, especially in the short distances. Some day we hope to tell the story which involved the Illinois Relays, “Nap” Kara, a bag of ba- nanas and a bus ride to Chicago. Swimming Meet Postponed The swimming meet scheduled with the Illinois Wesleyan College at Bioomington last Friday was indefinitely postponed. Manager Davidson could not get in touch with Bioomington to reschedule the match. The next meet will be held With Crane Junior College next week at the University of Chicago natator- ium.
