Armour held their own in most events. Cavanagh had little trouble in winning his breast stroke event. Kolve, an Armour freshman, pulled in with a good second, being a full hail length of the pool ahead of the third man from Loyola. This event is one that Armour has won almost consistently for the past four or five years. Due to poor lighting and a rather strange construction of the pool, the Tech men missed several turns. This was true of captain Knox who lost the 50 yard freestyle to Trick, north side star. The time 0:252 was good for a long pool. Thomson, Brockman Place Gotchalk of Loyola was another star. His 200 pounds proved no handicap when he won the diving event from Thomson who was a close runner-up. However, it did crack the springboard, not serious- ly, but enough to cause Thomson‘s 135 pounds to take some parabolic curves not found in a math book. .Brockman a new Armour student, scraped up a third in this low board event. Credit must be given to Zickus of Loyola who, handicapped by the total loss of one leg, never-the—less took second in the 200 yard swim. He also entered the diving event. Weston Cops Two Firsts Andy Weston starred for Armour by winning first place in both the 20-yard free-style and loo-yard back stroke events. He has con- sistently scored points in all of Tech’s meets. A close race was the 100 yard freestyle. Here Carlstrorn got away with a beautiful start. His sailing dive carried him more than half- way down the pool before he open— ed up steam. This meant a two foot lead on his nea’i‘est opponent, Coven, As Carlstrom was just rounding the third turn, still in the lead, the unexpected happened. In the darkness instead of turning he ran right into the tile wall which was just enough to enable Coven to win and give Carlstrom a second.

Water shortage caused the sale of soft drinks at the book store of Virginia Poly Tech. to double last year. The swimming pool at the University of Indiana has been drained for the same reason. The oldest freshman in the world is '72 years old and obeys the frosh rules at the University of Chicago. A return swimming meet with Loyola University will probably be held tonight at 7:30 P. M. at the University of Chicago pool. These U. of C. meets are always open to the public free of charge. Next Saturday March 14th, the Illinois Wesleyan College swimmers will stage a return meet with the Tech boys. This will also be held at the U. of C. pool probably in the afternoon. It will be recalled that the Armour swimmers on their trip a few weeks ago trimmed the Wes— leyan team at Bloomington, by a score of 49-27. This return meet is expected to have the same general outcome. Boxers Ready For Preliminary Bouts At a meeting held last Friday in the gym, it was decided to hold the first preliminary bouts oilthe box- ing tournament on Friday, March 20, in the tech ring. The drawings and weighing in will take place next Friday at which time contestants will be paired, allowing them an interval of two weeks in which to engage in preliminary skirmishes before the formal battles. It was at first planned to run the bouts on Fri- day, March 13, but the interference of a class smoker was considered sufficient excuse to change the date. The bouts will be fought in an atmosphere of intense rivalry and will be worth while witnessing. Bouts of this character, where nothing but laurels and metals are at stake, invariably produce an abundance of glove throwing and action. Caution and science are thrown to the winds for the relia- ble old slug fest which is so popu— lar. Seventeen Boxers Compete All the students are urged to at— tend to cheer for the fighters, as this will lend impetus to more furi— ous scrapping. The finals will be run a week after the prelims. It is not too late to enter as those who wish, may weigh in and draw next Friday. The contestants are, light- weights: E. Cordes, Melcarek, T. Kelch, .l'. Bacci, W. Kosan, C. Zu— kowski; welterweights: F. Koko, F. Hromada, C. Sommer, S. Cannell, T. Gault; middle-weights: W. Re- sag, D. White, M. Lukas and R. Nelson. The light-heavy—Weight match will be decided between C. Jens and A. Hoffberg. Veteran Coger Elected fiaptoin Harvey C. Rossing, ’32, was elect- ed captain of the 1931—32 basket— ball team last Friday afternoon. He has won major letter awards for the past three years. This year he led the teams scor- ing with 116 points, having made 46 baskets and 24 free throws. Last season he tied with Robin for sec- ond place honors with 69 points. During his freshman year, he placed fourth in scoring position with 60 points. In his three years of competition, he has made 113 baskets and 59 free throws. John C. Owen will be the man~ ager of next year’s basketball team. l?

Coach Stagg will give the men time trials in this meet to prepare them for the Illinois Relays next Saturday. Armour Favored to Win The team will compete in the fol— lowing events: 50—yard dash, one mile run, Mil—yard dash, 50»yard high hurdles, two mile run, 50-yard low hurdles, 880—yard run, shot put, pole vault, high jump, and 8 lap relay. The Tech runners should easily defeat the “Y" squad because Cap- tains Fox and James, A. H. Jens, Nelson and Hirsch, have consist- ently battered their times in prac— tice. Team to Compete at Urbana Several of the men will journey down to Champaign next Saturday to compete in the fourteenth am nual University of Illinois relay carnival. Coach Stagg intends to enter teams in the college mile and two mile relay events. Captain H. L. Fox, Hirsch, Helmick and Nelson will probably each run in the mile relay. Captain James, Nelson and Sade— man will compete on the two mile relay. The fourth man will be chosen from either Iver-son, Podli-e pec or Sorenson. A. H. Jens will be entered in the 75—yard dash. The men will make the journey in auto~ mobiles leaving Chicago Saturday morning. ‘1 Don Paul Placed Last Year Don Paul, captain of last yearjis championship team, won a golfil medal for second place in his 5de— cialty, the shot put. Bausch of Kansas, defeated him with a throw of 48 feet, 4 inches. Behr of Wis— consin and Weaver of Chicago were third and fourth respectively. mesh? 3 ‘3§%OQT is} 113354: I AanJ. Where is The Spring? The thought at this time of the year is, when will the weather break to permit outdoor athletics. One cannot complain of the amount of weather we are enjoying. It is usually a constant value. The state of the weather, however, is the im— portant item. Last year at about this time we had so much snow forced upon us that we were pre- vented from attending classes. Show is usually appreciated at Tech for it tends to cover up some of the. dirt and grime which covers the neighborhood of 33rd and Federal sts. Then there is the possibility of so much snow that we cannot attend classes, etc. All of which has little bearing on the Tech Shorts but simply gives us a chance to vent some of our inward thoughts and feelings. (line For The Books Swimming, an interesting pas— time for both contestants and spec— tators, has done some bigger and better splashing in the past few weeks. A relay team composed of Giovan, Carlstrom, Byanskas and Knox, each swimming 40 yards, has lowered the school mark twice in the past few weeks. The record was 1223:!l seconds for 160 yards. The latest record is 1:20 seconds. Considering the time that these men practice together the time is especially good. Coordination and team work is essential in any race where the outcome depends on sev- eral people and not on one indi— vidual. You Must Run All The Way Relay racing is perhaps the most exciting of all events in track or swimming meets. Of course if the teams are not evenly matched the race does not create the excitement that a race of evenly matched LATE SPQRTS Bloomington “Y”, Illinois state boxing champions, defeated Arm— our’s boxers last Saturday, five matches to one, at Bloomington.

The starting man at- tempts to get the pole position so he can set the pace, he passes the baton to a team mate who attempts to hold any lead he may be given. The third man runs, then the fourth who must come in first at any cost. Usually the best man runs last, the second best first with the others in second and third posi— tion. Paul Won Second liilcre In 1930 On Saturday a squad of track- men will he sent to the Illinois Re— lay Carnival at Urbana. A one— mile and a two-mile relay team will probably compete in the college sec- tion of the meet. Some men will be entered in special events such as the 75 yard dash, 300 yard dash, high jump and shotput.

Tuesday, March 10, 1931 =Anticipa‘te Huge Eliamond Turnout One of the largest turnouts of prospective candidates for Ar— mour’s 193i baseball team is anticl- pated when Coach Krafit issues his call for outfielders and inflelders next week. Only four regulars of last year’s invincible aggregation remain to grace Krafrt’s hopes for another successful season. The vacancies left by graduation and withdrawn students will have to be filled by newcomers, leaving the field open to anyone who possesses baseball proclivities. The turn of circumstances ob— viously presents an opportunity for a large number of players who would ordinarily have made no at- tempt to break into the baseball ranks if the new team was com- posed of a majority of regulars as the case has been in the last two years. When the clarion is officially sounded, Coach Kraflt looks for ward to a large number of fresh— men and sophomore responders. Each candidate will be given a fair tryout. To date, Krafit has concentrated his efforts on developing the pitch— ers and catchers. All workouts have been made in the gymnasium in order that the men may develop their arms gradually and be fit for some strenuous workouts when practice sessions are moved to Og—- ‘ den Field.
