Page F our ARMOUR TECH NEWS Tuesday, February 20, l934 Tech Eatteries Goon . Early Spring Training With a call for pitchers and catchers to start limbiering up in the gymnasium, the unofficial baseball season opened. The regular call for infielders and outfielders will not be issued until the middle of March. Keeping in mind the number of errors committed by the 1933 team, Coach Krafi't will concentrate on fielding practice. Last year‘s team averaged four errors a game and probably cost the Engineers the championship of the Northern Inter- collegiate Baseball League for they consistently outhit their opponents. Despite the numerous misplays, the Techawks won nine of their 15 games. Many Veterans on Squad A number of men are back from the 1933 squad. They include Vic Omiecinski, captain this year, at short; Bieg‘ler, covering second base; Tad Omiecinski, guarding,r the initial suck; Lillis at third; Reed and Ademec in the outfield; and Lukas, behind the hat. The pitchers include Mayer, Morelli, and Baumel. With a few additions coming up to fill sev- eral weak spots, the team should be good. Manager Jacobson has carded 14 games this year, including such strong teams as Northwestern, Mich- igan State, and North Central. 1934 BASEBALL SCHEDULE April 6—Northwestern at Armour.

Tum in Record Time Despite Defeat Loyola was victorious in its meet with Armour by defeating the Tech tankmen last Friday night in the Bartlett Pool at the University of Chicago. This year, as was the case last year, Armour was unable to match the excellent performances of the three Loyola star natators, Eitz, Elwell, and Brydenthal, and their able team mates. Tech Records Shattered In their defeat by a one~sided score of 501/2 to 24 V2 the Techmen‘s individual performances were over— shadowed by the Loyolans to the ex« tent that the winning times in four of the six races and relays captured by the Loyola tankmcn, namely the 100 yard breast stroke, the 40 yard free style, the 100 yard back stroke, and the 100 yard free style, bettered the Armour Tech school records in these events. In the 100 yard breast stroke, although Knaus’ time, unof- ficially, bettcred the existing school record, he was beaten out by Bry- dcuthal, the Loyola breast stroke swimmer. In the first event, the 160 yard re- lay the Loyola tcam established such a lead that their fourth man coasted in to a victory ahead of the Tech team composed of Moore, Duvison, Reed, and Ahern. The 100 yard breast stroke saw Knaus hanging on desperately but unable to close the {rap between him and the winner, Bi'ydenthal of Loyola.

In these two events Moore placed third in the shorter swim and Burson gained a second over the longer route. Loyola Wins Diving Event The fancy diving was closely con- tested but as in thc other events the Loyola man had the points that gave him his winning margin and left sec- ond and third illness for the Tech entrants, Kolve and Read. The meet was concluded with the 180 yard medley and for a time it looked as if Armour would break in— to the win column. Bernstein, swim» ming the back stroke, led oil“ and gained a slight lead that was in- creased by Knaus but in turn this margin was lost by Burson so that the relay ended in a tie for first place.

[imSMIl/filf Last Friday, February 16. the Armour Branch of the American So— ciety of Mechanical Engineers was favored with a talk by Mr. W. L. Abbott, a notable mechanical and electrical engineer, and an author ity on coal combustion and storage. In the past fifty years, Mr. Ab— bott has been a machinist and draftsmau with the Commonwealth Edison Company, the president 01’ the National Electric Construction Company, the chief engineer of a power house for the Commonwealth Edison Company, and at present is the chief operating engineer for that company. Besides being a member of the American Intsituto of Electrical Engineers, Mr. Abbott is also a mem- ber and past president of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and of the Western So— ciety of Engineers respectively. lie is also a member ot' the board of trustees for the University of Illi- J. vhich he is an alumnus, and will honor bof re else KAI-ILES catches up with him. pull a And by the way, correcting a miss take in last week’s El. 8., it wasn’t KAHLE’S iso—butyl something or other that was spilled by his partner; the innocent victim was none other than TOM WHALIEN.

At the meeting; last Friday, the speaker talked on the American So- ciety of lVLechanical Engineers and reminisced on his life. He pointed out the fact that although the So- ciety has been somewhat financially restrained because of the recent eco- nomic upheaval, it has been able to carry on many of its activities while similar organizations have been brought to a standstill. At present the society has over two hundred committees each of which is making a study of some phase of mechanical engineering. Reminiccoo on Life Of his life, Mr. Abbott spoke briefly of the rise to his present po- sition, and of the most interesting experiences that he has encountered. He. told of coming to Chicago, and starting his own electric company, ]n 1894 he became the chief engi- neer of the Harrison Street Power Station, a plant of the Commonv wealth Edison Company, where he had several experiences of which the members were told. In his present position of chief operating engineer, he has charge of 6000 men. In conclusion Mr. Abbott answered the question ”What is an engineer?" He defined an engineer as a man who knows how to deal with men, money, and material, and one who has com‘ mon sense, experience, wide vision, and curiosity.
