University squad for a pair of meets, the first being held at Armour next Friday after- noon, The second scramble will take place in the Loyola ring. When the Loyola representatives invade the training grounds of the Tech leather—pushers, Armour stu- dents and faculty will be afforded the opportunity to view two of the best amateur squads in the city of Chicago in action. A total of eight bouts will insure sufficient action and excitement. Student Rooters Needed Since its inception as a recog- nized school sport, Armour boxing adherents have had only one such previous opportunity to view our fighters in action, when they do- feated the Y. M. C. A, state cham- pions in the home ring. The turn— out at this time was a manifesta- tion of the fact that Armour stu— ‘ dents were keen boxing enthusiasts. Of course this interest must show itself again by a record turnout at this coming home meet in order to warrant further home appear- ances. In each of the four meets in which Coach Weissman’s squad has participated, the fighters labored under hostile and adverse condi- tions and yet, according to the opinions oi“ impartial observers, prejudiced judges were responsible for defeat in every case. Tech Favored To Win Solid support of the student body will therefore lend impetus to the fiery determinations of the pugs who are confident that they will send the north siders home, smart- ing with defeat. The Armour Tech boxing team has been the pioneer of the idea that boxing should be a recognized sport in all middle-west colleges, putting them on par with the east— ern institutions. Athletic mentors are recognizing this fact with the result that teams are being or- ganized at Notre Dame, Wisconsin, Illinois, Loyola, Valparaiso, Purdue and others. The Loyola—Armour meet will feature the first official scrap, with each team fighting fiercely to carry off a victory in this first encounter. Valparaiso, Next Opponents Manager Cannon also states that he has accepted a challenge from Valparaiso University who will be Armour’s opponents in a home meet in the very near future. Tentative arrangements are also in progress for a home meet with St. Viator College, who boast an ex— ceptionally strong squad this year. The program this year will set a new record in the number of en'— gagements which previously has been four or five, and which this season will probably be twice this number. Coach Weissman states that he will send the following men against Loyola: Montesano, sandstrom, Kosan, Milevsky, Capt. Ustryski, Heckmiller, Campione, Mago, and Rush. A bureau of information is being formed at Wisconsin to obtain and publish statements of prices for fraternity stewards. is i: V; When co-eds of Morning College, Iowa, appeared for breakfast clad in pajamas, college men waiting on the table went on strike. a a. i.

At this time, the initial and prob- ably the final bouts will be fought. First and second place winners in each weight will receive medals for their efforts. Varsity members will be prohibited from competing, thus putting the contests on an even basis. School Tournament Next Week The rounds will all be two min~ utes in duration with one minute rest periods. Seconds will be furn— ished from the boxing team. Coach Weissman will officiate the bouts and will pass on the winners tee gether with the votes of two judges. It is unfortunate that the varsity meet should necessitate the chang— ing of‘the date, but such is the case‘, affording the participants still more time for conditioning. Heavy Snow Frevcnts 1931 Tennis Practice Tennis for this year was given a severe setback by the heavy show a week ago. Captain Eddy urges all the men on the team and also those who wish to try out for the team, to get in shape by some form of in- door practice. The probable late opening of the outdoor courts makes it necessary for tennis con— tenders to be in shape before the outdoor practice opening. A tennis tournament will prob- ably be held, but the system used last fall will be ignored, too many games being won by default. A de~ fault game does not bring out the mettle of a player and for this reason, all entries must be written and handed in to Professor Colvert, Captain Eddy, or Manager Krause. A definite notice will be placed on the bulletin board in time for entrants to get their names turned in. The purpose of the tournament is to locate new material for the team. It is possible that Tech will also have a “B” team this year. This will depend largely on the number of players and also on their ability. The tentative schedule includes such teams as Notre Dame, Lake Forest, Loyola, Detroit and Hills- dale. Annual Tournament To Upen Coir”: Season The ’31 golf season will be opened by the annual spring tournament which will be held shortly after the snow has disap— peared and the ground is in readi— ness for the trooping golfers. The tournament will be open to any Armour student who has not earned his “A” in golf. Evergreen Country Club will be the scene of the battle which will consist of thirty-six holes of medal play to be run off on two successive Satur- days. All students who wish to enter are asked to hand in their names to either Professor Leigh, golf coach, or Manager R. E. Meagher. As soon as a date can be set for the medal play, a notice will be posted on the bulletin board. The main purpose of the tourna— ment is to select men for the team. Therefore, all men who wish to play golf for Tech this season are urged to hand in their entries, The schedule this year will prob- ably consist of about seven matches, the dates being tentative at present.

Since the first game is scheduled for April 10, Coach Krafit will be obliged to select and cultivate his band of diamond cavorters within the next three weeks. This open~ ing game scheduled with Morton College promises to be a hard tussle and victory will only be at— tained if the men are in condition. The present condition of Ogden Field is such that practice cannot be started. This seriously hampers Coach Krafit’s hopes of succeeding in his venture and consequently Mr. Krafft is victimized with an , eccentric disposition when the topic of baseball is brought to fore. Call For Players Soon All would be well if our Coach had a majority of last year’s regu— lars in camp. One toot of his clarion would serve to organize his proteges and another sound would send them off on their scalp hunt, As the case is, his training program will consist of finding the players, eliminating the less capable‘ and finally developing those who make the grade. Although the outlook for a sea- son which will compare with last year’s is not too promising. Mr. Krafi’t has an inkling that the t t cam will produce good. results. There were a total of eighteen pitchers and catchers who re- sponded to his call for battery ma-- terial, and three times this number are very likely to answer his call for fieldcrs. Stehno, Mago, Link and Robin, last year’s regulars will return to their posts this year, while Cannell, Clear, Buehne, Som- mer, Lynch, Richardson, Young, Simpson, O’Connor and Cramer, less experienced players, are in line for some of the vacancies. © i931, Lioosrr KLMms Tabasco Co.

As a matter of general information this column is written on Thursday pre- ceding the week of issue, therefore we think we should receive credit for calling to the attention the gentleman who controls the weath— er that snow was due. We' should like to predict a temperature of 55 degrees and sunshine from now on. Wouldn’t that be great. All out- door sports could get a head start in training and we could put 11 our red flannels for another year. An Old Custom On the 21st, which is Saturday, spring is scheduled to arrive. May it be prompt in coming with the above mentioned sunshine and warmth.

Question of Victor Complications have arisen in the dual swimming meet with Loyola that was featured in this page last week.

The relay is .made up of the following distances in the order in which they are now: 440, 220, half—mile and mile. invitation Meet Saturday afternoon Armour is host to some 30 colleges who will partake in the Third Annual Armour Tech Invitation Indoor track meet. Tech gained an en- viable record in this meet last year by scoring twice the points of its nearest rival, Chicago E team. Go»- ing through the entire indoor sea- son without a defeat last year gave Tech the title of Mid—West Indoor Track Champions. Baseball Soon The baseball team has been prac- ticing in the gym for several weeks now. A game is scheduled with Morton Junior College for April 10.

According to the books, the first outdoor practice last year was on April 1st. Tuesday, March 17., 1931 Wicsleyan Swim Meet Postponed The Illinois Wesleyan boys en— countered some trouble in their proposed swimming trip to Armour last Saturday. The meet will prob- ably be held the coming Saturday, March 2151;, ,or else on Saturday, March 28th, at the University of Chicago pool. With the season now rapidly drawing to a close, the number of remaining meets is few. The afore- mentioned one and perhaps one with Loyola or Crane are probably the only ones remaining. The Tech‘mermen are in good form as can be understood from the victories so far stowed away. Captain Eddie Knox and Jack Cavanaugh are two of the out- standing performers of the year. Eddie, with his eight years of competitive swimming experience, proved a big help to the team. Exm pcrience is undoubtedly a big help in swim races, especially is this true in the relay event. As anchor man of a star quartet, Captain Eddie can boast of being influential in. lowering the school record twice. Next year’s team promises to be good since there will be only one loss, Captain Knox. The nucleus of next year’s squad will then be built around Davisson, Byanskas, Cavanagh, Carlstrom, Weston and Gviovan, all good performers in their respective lines.
