Rossing, Robin, and Beem~ sterboer were Armour point getters, while Thomon, Jones, and Swan~ son were the bright lights of the Augustana team. The game started slowly and Armour scored first when Robin made a free throw. Augustana tied it, and then the game see-sawed back and forth, first Armour, and then Augustana taking the lead until the half ended. Tech Finds Hoop At the start of the second half Armour “found" the basket for four baskets before Augustana sank a free throw. Augustana then added a basket, but Armour, not to be outdone, made a few more. Tech led 33-21 with about 5 minutes to go. Augustana made a couple of baskets to close the gap slightly but Robin and Rossing collaborated to bring the total to 36 which was enough to win, although Thomon 01' Augustana put in a couple of baskets. The guarding of the Tech team was nearly perfect in the sec- ond half, Augustana getting only a couple of short open shots at the basket. Previous to this game Augus— tana had defeated Armour 34—30 at Rock Island. Tech has now six victories and five defeats to its credit. This is a better record than the team has had for the past two years. Both Teams Fast Both teams played a fast, snappy game with excellent, quick passes. About three hundred spectators viewed the contest. Many fair co- eds cheered the Augustana team. To date Armour has defeated Alumni, Chicago Tech, Wheaton twice, St. Mary’s, and Augustana. They have lost to Western State Normal twice, Chicago Normal, “Y” College, and Augustana. BOX SCORE Armour—36 Ft.

Tech’s team led practically through the entiregame. Rossing starred by sinking seven baskets and one free throw. St. Mary’s fast breaking attack was stopped cold by the Tech five. Big Audience Present The game was played before two thousand spectators and students. The team travelled the thirty—five . mile trip from Detroit to Orchard Lake by bus. They had to stop ten times because of engine trouble and the large hills. The men had a wonderful four~ day trip through picturesque Michi-- gan. While at Detroit, they stayed at the Fort Shelby Hotel having four meals a day. Coach Krafft, nine players, and Manager Erland made the trip. This is the first time Armour has played St. Mary‘s in several years. The Tech men broke even on their road trip through Michigan, having previously lost to Western State Normal of Kalamazoo on Saturday night. ST. MARY’S, 27-22 Armour will engage in its twelfth basketball game of the season to- day at the Eighth Regiment Arm— ory at 4:00 p. m., when it meets “Y” College for the second time. The first game ended 38—24 in favor of the “Y” athletes, but the score will probably be reversed in this game because Tech defeated St. Mary’s and Augustana in their last two starts showing a reversal of form over their previous games. The final score of the first game does not indicate the strength of “Y" College because Armour was nosed out in the first half by only a 16-15 score. The game was close“ 1y contested throughout and to- night’s game promises to be more so than before. Classes Excuscd All students are urged to be pres— ent at this game as it will be the last home game of the season. School will probably be excused at 3:00 p. in. again as last Friday. Tech’s starting lineup will prob— ably be: Robin, forward; Rossing, forward; Beemsterboer, center; Rutkowski, guard; 0miecinski, guard. On Thursday, February 19, Armour will finish its 1931 basket- ball season against Chicago Tech on the enemies’ home floor. The black and gold are favored to win their final game because of a previous 31-13 victory earlier in the season. In their first meeting with the Tech team, Armour led practically throughout the entire game. Beem— sterboer starred by sinking three baskets and a free throw right at the start of the second half. Armour’s guarding was excellent keeping the Chicago five to only three baskets. The team work should click correctly in order to end the season with four straight victories. If this is possible the 1931 gold and black team will have the best record of the past three years. BOX SCORE Armour-27 Robin, f ............... Rossing, f ....... Beemsterboer, c Ott, c ........

ARMOUR (TECH NEWS , Tennis Ace Butch , To finish finalise George Jennings, Armour’s fa— mous tennis star for the past five years, is back at school this sem- ester in order to finish. his course in electrical engineering. He will graduate with the present senior class of 1931. His tennis achievements last year ranked him as one of the ten lead— ing tennis players in the country. He started the season by win- ning the Ohio state Singles cham- pionship at Cleveland. Here he was a finalist, paired with Gor- don Brandt, University of Illinois, in the United states inter—city doubles competition. He was also a finalist in the Illinois State cham- pionship tournament. George then travelled to Wash- ington, D. C., to win his third con- secutive National Public Parks championship. Paired with Jack De Lara, they swept all competition aside to win the doubles title. This is Jennings fourth consecutive Na- tional Public Parks doubles title. While at Washington, he met President and Mrs. Hoover at a re— ception given for the finalists in the meet. His next conquest was at Eagles Mere, Pennsylvania, where he won all three titles: singles, doubles and mixed doubles. His partners in the Miss A. Walker. He also won the Beach Haven singles and doubles titles at Beach Haven, New Jersey. Jennings was defeated by Junior Coen of Kansas City in the quar~ ter finals of the National Clay Court championship, 7—5, 3-6, 2—6, 6-4, 6—3. He ranked second only to George Lott, Davis Cup star, in the Chicago rankings. Jennings and Brandt were given first ranking in the Chicago doubles competition. In the Middle West, George was ranked number four. The order was: first, Lott; second, Hennessey; third, Pare; and fourth, Jennings. {Sail Candidates for Armour Ninb The battery staff of the 1931 baseball team held its first meeting last Friday morning at 10:30 a. m. in room A. Eighteen pitchers and catchers responded to the first call for spring training. Coach Krafft ad— vised the men to practice three or four times a week in the Tech 'gym, the practice sessions to be of thirty minutes length. He advised the men to get in condition slowly and not to acquire speed until after the first couple weeks of practice. They should only practice control and form. No speed or curves are to be practiced until later. A straight ball over the plate waist high in the groove will be used the first two weeks. All of the pitchers are urged to develop their leg muscles by run- ning a mile each day. Manager Woods announced that ten games have already been scheduled. The first game will probably be on April 10 with Mor- ton Junior College. Four freshmen have reported for battery practice. The following men are now start- ing work in the gym: pitchers‘ Stehno, Cannell, Clear, Mago, Buehne, Sommer, Lynch, and Rich— ardson; catchers—Link, De Orio, Young, Simpson, O’Connor, and Cramer. Pugs Training Marti For Glove Tourney Each winner in the school box- ing tournament, for which prepar— ations are rapidly being completed, is practically assured of a position on the varsity squad which has been hampered by injuries. Coach Weisman expects that this tourna- ment will reveal talent of which he thinks there is plenty, at Armour. Every student is urged to enter the tournament if for no reason perience. Staleness or poor physi— cal condition is no excuse as the majority of the contestants will be inexperienced.

W Nap Kara is dead! It was a cold slippery day, Jan— uary 20, 1931, when his automobile kidded on icy pavement and crashed into an electric light pole. It was a cold day with a blizzard blowing when he died, February 8, 1931. For twenty days he clung on, amazing the doctors with his tre— mendous vitality. In the accident both of his legs were broken at the thigh with the bones piercing the skin. It was the latter combined with exposure and infection that called Nap’s han . On Sunday, February 8, when doctors thought Nap definitely on the mend he died. To Nap he was merely laid up, only to be up and around on his feet in a short time. Others thought different. It was this spirit of never say die that carried Kara through many tough track campaigns. James J. Kara was graduated from Armour Institute in June. 1930, as a member of the Depart- ment of Civil Engineering. While in school he participated in inter- class sports, was indispensable to the track team as a hurdler and weight man, was a member of the A. T. A. A. and Honor “A". The Truss and the Western Society of Engineers took up considerable of his time. We remember Kara especially for his track work. It was here that the personal contact created as teammates brought us together. Kara was a star while we were merely trying out for the team. He worked with and greeted every man as his equal. The dubs and the champions were treated alike by him. The winner was congrat~ ulated while the loser was encour— aged. This combined with a good fellow spirit made Kara one of the most popular individuals in school. As a star Nap could not be ap- proached. He had excellent form in topping the hurdles. He could throw the shot and toss the discus. He could high jump and even broad jump if the team needed the point. He did many times when he should have been resting his legs. When his school needed him he was there. There was rarely a time that Nap didn’t have his legs tightly band- aged with tape. This he claimed was caused by constant collision with the hurdles. When other men would have been resting injured limbs, Nap was trying to improve his form. How he did it we often have wondered. (Kara was an athlete, perhaps that explains his actions). When we last saw Nap at the Honor “A” banquet he told us that he was going to assist in coaching the outdoor track squad this year. He would have been a valuable as— set to any team as a coach. His knowledge of track and form would have helped many men this year. Kara was honored when he was "iii muses. .

The full. details will be found on the school bulletin board. Manager Davidson expects the meet to be held either at 7 P. M. or P. M. tonight at the University of Chicago pool. In the two meets that were held last year with Crane, Armour won one and lost one. Both scores were very close. Chances are that a stiff battle will be fought tonight. With the beginning of the new semester more of the boys have been able to practice regularly. Coach McGillivray is anxious to see everybody out for practice at least three times a week. “At pres- ent, I believe the team is the strongest Armour has ever had," he says. This is encouraging with sev- eral hard meets ahead, including Culver, on Saturday, February 21st. elected as captain of the 1929 track team. In 1930 he helped create the record that gave Armour the title of Undefeated Indoor Track Cham- pion. Now Kara is dead. He will never run again. His spirit will guide the 1931 track team to even greater heights than was attained when he ran for the yellow and black of Armour Tech. Every man who knew Nap Kara mourns his unex- pected death.
