Coach Stagg and Captain Roberts are hoping that the Electrical lecture room will be crowded with skilled cinder kickers, especially those with distance ability; for graduation has left its mark. Of course freshmen or bashful old—timers will not be frowned on if they can demonstrate ability in other events! Several Lettermcn Leave The distance men have left the team and really left it lopsided. Cullen, Fleissner, Hansen, and Kirk- patrick, all letter men are gone; the first three by graduation and “Kirk” by reason of a West Point appoint- ment. Cullen and Hansen have kept Armour in the mile and two mile races for the last three years; Fleissner made a fine record in the 880 and mile events; while Kirk- patrick, a freshman, was running right next to Don Neal in the quarter mile. 0h, ye chhuwks of mighty school javelin record. 01'? course, the this hour of need! The meeting is at ten-thirty. Among the other men lost to the team this year are Larry Frateschi, outstanding weight tosser, and Harold Cordcs, holder of the present school javelin record. Of course, the loss of all mentioned will be felt, but Captain Roberts, ex-ceptain Nelson, Carroll, I-Icvrdejs, Kulpalr; Concolino, Bejcek, and Neal form a list of lettermen which should cheer the heart of the most pessimistic. Flcig, Jones, and McGrath, minor letter winners, will bolster the above squad as they seek their major mono- grams this season. Practice Begins Soon Training will begin shortly after Thanksgiving and equipment will be issued to team members and deserving new-comers. The season proper is yet distant, but time oozes by so rapidly that the schedule being prepared by co-managers Grakavac and Handler shall take effect on a. green squad unless they unlimber their useful members plenty early. Arnold Wins Annual Tennis Tournament The annual fall tennis tourna- ment has drawn to a close with H. S: Arnold, the victor, and R. Bodnar, the loser, in the final match, which was played on the courts in the Wentworth Armory. Arnold won four games in a row, then lost one, and finally ran out the set without losing a single serve. Bodnar was continuously chasing around the floor in vain attempts to rescue his serves, which Arnold was chopping into all portions of the back court. The final score was 6-1 and 64. Arnold won a decisive victory from R. Boehme, defeating him by 7.5, 6A1, and 6-2. He was also victorious over R. Worcester and J. O’Connell, two en- terprising freshmen who put up a courageous, but losing battle. In the light of these past matches, Bodnar need not feel at all discouraged by being defeated, and it is anticipated that he will make a better showing after he gains more experience. Many Matches Won by Default The general calibre of this year’s tournament was not on as high a plane as might and should be expect» ed. A lot of the matches were won by default, rather than by decisive victories, thus indicating that the proper amount of interest was not shown and that probably some de- serving talent dropped out unneces— sarily. It has not, yet been determined whether or not a trophy will be awarded the winner, but it is practic— ally certain that some form of recognition will be shown him. Tech Tunic Tenth Needs Able Elmer Determined not to rest easily un- til the glaring weakness of the div- ers’ division of the swimming team is remedied, Captain John Ahern still carries on his search for men versed in the graceful art of “spiro— techhique.” To date, the total num ber of really capable divers is exact- ly one. Bob Lyford, a senior chem- ical, offered his services to the team, was eagerly snatched up, and today comprises the only ray of hope in that class of aquatic activity. The diving staff of the team at ordinary times usually consists of at least two or three men, to take care of pos- sible emergencies. This year, how- ever, there seems to be an acute de- pression in that line of aquatic enA dcavor, with the result that it is sadly lacking in competitive calibre. It may be that John Ahcrn will have to pinch-hit in the tight-spots. Probably the most powerful unit¥ of this year’s team is the free-style event. John Ahern, 40 and 100 yard free-stylcr, Dinny Moore, and Talla- fuss, are the veterans who form the basis for this tidal wave of swim- ming power. Ralph McDonald and Duerrstein are the candidates first in line for the occupancy of steady berths in this event, and are ex— pected to add their abilities to it in the near future. Stan Bernstein, an- other returning veteran, is the lead- ing back stroker of the team, and forms the mainstay of that class. Knaus, the last of the returning men, but last year’s “winningest” swim~ mer, is the strongest hope in the breast stroke event. With the coming schedule a month or so away, the team has begun practice in deadly earnest. Regular— ly, under the guidance of Coach Mc. Gillivray, it is put to the wheel in an intensive grooming process to prepare it for the gruelling grind of a tough schedule. Captain Ahern, due to a foot injury, sustained in a football scrimmage, is temporar- ily exempt from the practice skirm- ishes. However, it is expected that he will be “in" and able by the time 1 February 22-Indiunc State Teach-v the first scheduled meet arrives. ill A bale ofaromatic Chest- erfield Turkish tobacco.

LIGGBTT a: Mrsns Tomcco Co. @nistanoling Million of Lust Year’s fiwshclboll Schedule Arc Reviewed At last the basketball season has overtaken us, with the first game on December sixth against South Side junior college. This year’s team looks pretty good composed of five last year’s men and several fresh who show great promise. Couch Kralft is hoping that it will do even better than last year when Armour basketballers won nine out of their seventeen games. Last Year’s Good ,The ’34 team started off the sets son in the right way, winning their first game by the substantial score of 48-35 over George Williams col- lege. There were times when doubts assailed the watchers as to whom was to be the victor. This condition was not caused by lack of ability on the regular team but was due to the moral uncertainty occasioned by Captain Pflum and Dollcnmaicr sitting on the sidelines with injuries. The Armour men seemed a bit scared and let their opponents ring‘up a score eight points ahead of them. This opposition made them man, however, and they plowed into the G. W.’s to win. I-Ieike, then a fresh. man, showed his stuff as early as this first game. The boys were so elated over their success in the first game that they bctook themselves down to Chicago U, the next week and licked them 27—22. The game was pretty stiff and was won on free throws caused by some rough handling on the part of the Midwayers. Techawk .root- cars were mighty pleased by having Captain Pflum back in the game. First Defeat Now comes the black crepe. The chhmen went out to Noperville and were quite chogrincd by losing. Even though Armour started the scoring they lost the lead just after the half and trailed the rest of the game. Over the Christmas holidays the team kept in trim by tippling around with the Alumni and Chicago Nor- mal College. They locked horns with DcPuul but were bested despite a lot of hard playing on their part. Naporvillc was around again, fol- lowed by Augustana. Quite disguested with losing so often in the past week the men came back and again licked George Wil— liams, following which they over- come Whenton on the home floor. The most auspicious feature of the game was the thirty—three fouls. This was the second year in a row that Wheaton has been conquered on the home precincts after defeating Ar» mour in their first tilt. The Krafi’tmen next donned their travelling clothes and jauntcd over to Michigan, and were they dis- gruntled when they were beaten twice! Wayne U., one of the teams who tool: them while away from home, was returned the compliment when they came around here and re- tircd to a 36~15 score. Season’s Grand Climax The big game of the season was with DePaul at the home armory. Observers still refer back to it as the “game.” DanuI played hard and won the first half decisively but could not continue the pace for the second half during which Armour overtook them and led by one point up to three seconds before the end of the game. Then a DePaul guard, Adams, earned an undying disap- proval by scoring a free-throw to tie the (game. "l‘was very discouraging to say the least. Armour scored several points right away but in the last few seconds again DePaul scored enough points to defeat our hardios. DcPuul was unbeaten through the season and this game gave them their worst scare. The season ended with Augustana again bowing to Armour. It is hoped, and even believed, that thii-z year’s team will be better despite their handicap in stature.

The Tech squad is making rapid strides toward perfection under the mtél» age of Coach Krafft. The 108th arm. ory’s hardwood floor is proving very adequate for the needs of the team. During the last few. days the boys have put in extensive work in the field of offensive play. The new as- pirants, that is, those that were left after the weeding—out process, are striving among themselves to win a place on the varsity. Among those who are prone to displaying their ability are Nylon and Shukcs, juniors; Hockert, Tara— dash, and Maleika, sophomores; and O'Brien, O’Connell, and Wagner, freshmen. Coach Krafft is eyeing: Mlaleika’s six feet plus speculativev ly in hope of developing him into an expert forward. The aforemen- tioned juniors have well established reputations and need not be. men- tioned further. Taradash and Hock— ert have distinguished themselves for their speedy footwork and passing and the “fresh” are quite adept at dropping the ball in the right pockw ct. Not to be omitted is Bill Peter— sen, a senior, who has been out for tho team every season for the past three years without success. How— ever, this time he seems to be in very promising condition. Mention must be made of the vet~ crons who appear regularly to brush up on their technique and assist the new men in mastering the well known trick plays of the Tech team. Among those lending a hand are Dollenmaier, Hcikc, Merz, Christoph, and the indubitable “Pop" Warner.
