PLAY HERE. APRIL 10 l ' Baseball has finally come into itsl “'11. The excepfionally fine weather last week conditioned Ogden Field and on Wednesday, March 25, the team started outdoor practice. Quite a number of men were out for the first outside workout which consisted mainly in getting used to handling the ball and bat. Batting technique was stressed by Coach Krafl‘t. The pitchers and catchers have‘| Tech Team Favored The victory scored over the north 'side squad was rather unexpected as ;word had been received that a tota‘ lof 100 candidates were striving for ‘a place on the team, which of coursU implied that good material could be selected from such a number.

Most of the pitchers are inex- pericnced, a fact which does not brighten the baseball prospects for this year. Outdoor Practice to Test Candidates Outficlders and infieldcrs were giv- to a chance to work out some of the kinks in their bodies at Armour gym the first of last week. There are more than fifty men out for base- ball this year. most of them for the first time at Tech. The outside prac- tice is welcome because the quality of the men cannot very well be de- termined until it can be seen how they handle the ball while on the diamond. A team will have to be se- lected within a short period of time for the first game of the season is less than two weeks away. First Game With Morton April 10 Friday, April 10, the Tech Base- ball team meets Morton Junior Col- lege of Cicero at Ogden Field. The e'ame with Morton last year was also playrd on April 10 at Ogden Field. In that game Armour emerged vic- torious with six men crossing the plate to only one for Morton.

A. U. tourna- ment fought their way to the West Section semi-finals before their match for thc championship was put to a halt. The team’s post season enterprise netted them four straight victories and placed them in the semi-finals against the Alderman Terrell Boost- ‘ers to whom they lost 29-18. Boomsterboer Stars Armour’s first victory was scored against the Elmhurst Y. M. C. A. Beemsterboer amassed a total of 12 points and led the offensive attack which enabled Armour to outpoint their opponents 23-16. Austin Y. M. C. A. provided the competition in the second game which terminated 16—12. Ott, Rossing, and Robin were largely instrumental in the triumph. In winning the first two games, Armour climbed to the quarter finals. Elburn A. C. opposed our cagers and were added to the list of victims by '1 26-22 score. Robin’s two baskets in the closing- seconds of play gave Armour the edge. Beemsterboer con» tinued with his scoring spree netting the teams 10 points. Rutkowski, Yuknis, Pope and Setterburg played a brilliant defensive game. Defeat Noted J.P.l. Team The reputed Jewish Peoples’ in- stituto quintet was the fourth victim. The entire Armour quintet displayed unusal skill to emerge victorious 2-1—15. Robin, Ott, Becmstcrhoer, Rutkowski and Yuknis were the only :men used in the game. Alderman Terrell Boosters‘ 2948 victory over Armour put our men out of the race. Armour‘s opponents evidently were too strong. The team played its usual good game but could not keep place with the powerful scoring Terrell quintet. 'll'och’s Relay Wine 31rd Place in. C.A.A.U.

When we started writ- ing this column way back in 1929 we never dreamed that it would continue over such a long poroid. The first column was written under the simple type head of Tech Shorts and ap peared in the issue of October 15, 1929. Three months later we thought the head should be changed to “Rambling Techs" for the thoughts presented certainly were rambling. However, the title was changed back to Tech Shorts and has continued as such ever since.

The fisticuff program provided Armour fans with 15 rounds of ring warfare which packed punching, the good old fashioned slugging and sci- entific boxing. Three of the fights were won on decision, one terminated in a knock out while one was stopped due to in— jury and officially was declared a technical knockout. The results of this first round of fighting gave one man and depicts a one—legged indi~ vidual apparently shooting a basket. 0n the left is a baseball player also one-legged, who is about to catch something. We have never asked Chapman what was in his mind when he made the drawing. Perhaps he was thinking of some weighty archi— tectural problem and dashed off the one—legged individual b e t VV 9 c n thoughts. Training Trips Last week saw the first of out- door practice for two varsity teams. On Monday Coach Stagg’s tracksters started their annual distance running which always ends at the same place and on Wednesday the baseball team began their spring training trip which also beg-ins and ends in Ogden Field. In 1930 the outdoor practices were not started until the first week in April. The uncertainty of the weather caused long periods of inactivity for the athletes. Practices indoors and outdoors cannot be mixed because of the difference in training conditions. Ed. Stehno acted like a proud father when be exhibited his new baseball uniform last week. Ed. tells us that the pants are especially large. Captain Robin and some of the other regulars were not in attendance of the A. A.

Stray Blown Provide Amusement Bacci, ’34 and Melcarek, ’34 matched each other in the first fight. Both fighters slugged each other throughout the three rounds. Since neither man showed any developed boxing skill their fight provided fans with a great deal of amusement when their blows went astray. By virtue of his impressive showing in the final round, Bacci was awarded the de- cision. Summers ’33 hammered out a de< cisivc victory over Reah, '34 in the second match. Both fighters were somewhat cautious in the first round but went into a slugging spree in the second and third rounds. Sommers landed terrific blows in the closing rounds causing R'eah to take the nine count on two occasions. 1 Cannell, '33 was awarded the de- cision over Koko, ’34 in an unfin- ished fight. Koko injured his arm in the opening minute and was unable to continue. Cannell was awarded the decision on a technical knockout. Lukas Wins Close Match The fight in the 158 lb. class be- tween Nelson, '32 and Lukas, ’34 was perhaps the best on the eve- ning’s program. Both fighters ham- mered each other repeatedly through- i out their four round brawl. The first 1 round found Nelson the more aggres- sive and gave evidence that he would be the victor. The battle, how— ever, remained a closely contested match. An avalanche of rights and lofts were exchanged in the second round. Lukas scored a number of hearty haymakers in the opening sec- onds but was obliged to suffer in re- turn in the closing minute. Lukas opened the third round by hammering away at Nelson. He con~ tinued his onslaught for three» quarters of the round but again awakened in the final seconds per» ‘mitting Nelson to make his furious ‘attack. The fight was extended to the, fourth round which was won de- cisively by Lukas. Ressg Scores Knockout Armour fans were treated with ianother knockout when Resag', ’34 scored his hard blow in the second round of his fight with Gault, ”33. iHe floored Gault three times in the 1 opening round and commenced to re ,‘peat his performance in the second lrouud but put an end to the fight hard heels leaves the track in terrible l with a hearty left that sent Gault shape for runners. i into a daze.
