New men are urged to try out for the team, several posi- tions being open. Coach Kraift will have to develop several guards this season because Rummel is the only one back from last year’s squad. (me or two of the forwards may have their talents turned to the task of guarding Armour’s basket. Several freshmen show promise of devciopinf into cor.- sisient guards. Captain H. C. Rossing will lead one of the strongest basketball squads that Armour has ever had. He will be assisted by five regulars from last year’s team who are: cx- ~Capt. Robin who will be back for the first semes- ter, Lind, and Setterberg who are all forwards, Beemsterboer at center, and Rommel who is a guard. Two more games have been added to the tentative 1931-32, schedule since last week. The additions are: Chicago Normal College at Armour, December 3; and Michigan Normal College at Armour, February 25. The team will probably journey to Mich- igan for a game February 8. The complete schedule will probably con- tain fifteen games, the Alumni game opening the season on Tuesday, De- cember 1. Boxing and Wrestling Progressing Rapidly Tech boxers will be aided this year by the advantages of new equip- ment. The Athletic Association has given its approval to the buying or" punching bags, mats, ropes, and the other necessities for training good “pugs.” A systematic condi- tioning will begin when the new equipment arrives. Manager Ustryski states that a large number of meets will be sched— uled this year. The first will prob- ably be held with Loyola sometime before the holidays. Other meets will be arranged with Valparaiso University, St. Viator College, Cul- ver Military Academy, and De Paul. Heavyweights and men for the 112—pound class are still needed to fill the gaps in the squad. Only five regulars from last year have re- turned to the ring this season. Wrestling will he managed sepa- rately from boxing. Although this sport is not officially recognized, a large number of. men are practicing regularly in Armour’s gym. A coach has not been appointed, and Profes- sor Schommcr has not stated that letters will be given for participa- ion. It will be possible to schedule many wrestling matches because more colleges have wrestling than have boxing. Tennis Tournament Approaching Finals Given another week of fair weather. the tennis tournament will in all probability be completed. A. J. Cohrs is in the semi—final round, defeating Gunderson in the quarter finals in two straight sets, 6-4, 6-3. In the quarter finals are Graham, who defeated B1931 by a score of 6-1, 6-0. Paine defeated Lukas in two sets by virtue of a 6-1, 6—3 victory. Juvinall met H. P. Richter and dc feated him in a three—set match by a score of 6—4, 1-6, 6-1. Esbensen defeated Hirsch by a score of 62, 8-6 to enter the quarter finals also. Lind and Curran, and Armsbury and Hendricks, have not yet played of? to determine who will enter the quarter finals. In the doubles tournament Cohrs and Graham defeated Hirsch and Nelson by a score of 6—4 and 7-5. Davidson and Richter finally de- feated Collatz and Trudelle after three long sets by a score of 6—4, 5-7, 64. Graham and Lukas de- feated Monger and Bollinger.

A rc~ord turn— out is expected, and according to the latest reports the 1931-32 team will be one of the best in the history of the school. About forty-five men answered Coach Stagg’s call for track candi- dates at the meeting held last Wed— nesday afternoon. Indoor practice will be held this fall in the new Uni— versity of Chicago fieldhouse, which will be one of the leading indoor tracks in the country. Do You Know That? Professor J. J. Schommcr entered Armour in the spring of 1913 as coach of Tech’s track, baseball, and basketball teams? Previous to this he had graduated from the Univer— sity in Chicago in 1909, and from Armour as a Chemical Engineer in 1912. While at the University 01' Chi— cagoY he had won notional fame in basketball, baseball, track, and foot- ball, being the winner of twelve major C’s in these four sports. He was Alleestei-n center in basket ball for three consecutive years, All- Western end in football in his senior year, held four individual records in track, and was captain of the bas- ketball team which won the World’s Olympic Y. M. C. A. championship at St Louis in 1905. Beat Phi Pi Phi Phi Pi Phi ably represented by Carlson, Gisske, Leichtenberg, and and MacLennan, of last year’s team will be out gunning for their four- teenth consecutive intcifiatcrnity basketball championship this vear. All of the other nine teams slogan 5 “Beat Phi Pi Phil” Armour’s annual fall tennis—tour— nament is slowly but surely furnish— ing its schedule. If weather permits, the championship ought to be de- cided within the next week or two. H. P. R TRACK. MEN bdtillil, lhiilbflit PRACTECE A'l‘ BARRETT Gilii'i Although the track season does not open officially until the Christ- mas holidays, 11 meeting which took place last Wednesday gave the track aspirants an early start. Coach A. A. Stagg, J1‘., addressed the old members and new candidates, and ordered light practice for all immediately. Captain C. Jens also gave the squad pointers on train- ing. Equipment was given out, first to last year's letter men, then to the experienced candidates and to the new men. Everyone will be furnished with suits. etc.. as new equipment is expected in the near future. Coach Stagg announced that the Bartlett Gymnasium and the U. of C. field-house will be available to Armour track men and lockers can be obtained there by candidates who intend to stick it out. The manager for the 1932 season is Colcord and his assistant is Eris- man. With a majority of the vet- erans returning for competition, Coach Stagg sees a bright outlook for the 1932 season but will not express himself as to the caliber of the new material, as he has not seen them in action yet. However, the fact that the squad is becoming larg— er every year indicates increasing efficiency with a mentor like Coach Stagg at the helm. Major letter men returning to keep up the track standards at Ar- mour are: Capt. C. Jens, G. Nelson, Hirsch, Sademan and Oberbeck, but Nelson is out for a few weeks with a broken collar bone. Other veterans who won minor A’s in track last semester and who are re turning for competition, are: RichA ter, Barnett, Setterberg, Helmick, and Manson. Other candidates are: Krause, Probeck, Kulpack, Freitag, Van Dyke, Roberts. Hendricks, Scanlan, Tiensuu, Holland, Babcock, Tilt, Finnegan, MueIler and Freer. luter—Fmtemity Tournament 300111.... With the opening games of the 1931 tournament approaching rapid~ 1y, basketball again looms up as the favorite interdraternity sport. The teams have been organized and prac- tice is in full swing. Whether the momentum gathered by the Phi Pi Phi team in bhe last 13 years, during which that team hung up a record of 13 straight vie» tories, is greater than the determin- ation of each of the other fraternity teams to be the one to snap this win- ning streak, will be decided in the next few weeks. The games should be full of action. ~ The backbone of the Phi Pi Phi team which defeated the Sigma Kap- pa Delta team in the final game 01' last year’s tournament, will return to stretch the victory string- to 1/1 straight wins. If the Phi Pi’s win again, the victory will be the sec~ ond of three needed to obtain per- manent possession of a cup, of which they have four already, repre» senting 12 of their victories. None of the fraternities have an— nounced their line—ups as yet. The playing schedule has not been ar- ranged, but the preliminary games will be played during the week of Dec. 2nd to 11th, and the semi-final and final games the following week. 11 Gridiron Queries ”1 By Professor John J.
