Phitl‘itifi thithil Edit Willi Bhdiitl‘hdti ilihii New Material Plus Five Regulars Turn Out KRAFFT GIVES TALK A turnout of over thirty—five menx answered the call of Coach Krafft and appeared at the Tech gym last Thursday night. The coach was pleased because the new men repre- sented some of the best talent from various high school teams of the city. Five of the regulars, Captain Lauch- iskis, Warner, Dollenmaicr, Heike, and Christoph about whom Coach Krafit is figuring on building another strong team, are out for practice; although they were not all present atlI the first session because of otheri activities. Other men out for the team last year that were out last Thursday were: Merz, Levy, Ruhlis, and I-lockert. Captain Lauch— iskis and John Humiston, the man- ager, were introduced, and both were given a hearty welcome. Coach Krafft then talked about the need for the men to maintain strict train- ing rules and the importance of con- stant regular training. He also warned the men about playing foot— hall without proper equipment be- cause of the danger of injury. Cap- tain Lauchiskis, who was not able to practice because of an injury incur- red when he was hit by one of the touch football players while running around the track, also stressed the importance of regular practice.

Ever the seeker after news, your reporter entered the sanctum of the i Armour manglers to get an insight, on this business of self-preservation. I had approached the gym with; trepidation, handkerchief ready to hide my eyes from in hand“ the gory i‘ Imagine my surprise to see several of these he-men gayly jumping rope while others tete~a- tetcd in small groups. Encouraged, yours truly asked for the coach and was directed to a gentleman holding. down a bench, the while he peered at some of the boys struggling to yank each other’s heads off. This man, the coach, hearing that I rep-i resented the press, took me off intoi a corner and divulged some gems oil information on the subject of boxingi and wrestling. Says he: (Mr. Weiss—l man is the name). Wrestling Prospects Good “This year’s crop of grapplers really look the best of any year sol far. Practically all of our last year’s ’ men are back, supplemented by some! green-hats that look like they’ve got‘ the stuff. The boxing team looks pretty good also notwithstanding, that the team has been considerably weakened by graduation and the inv‘ experience of the new members.” I Being a very important man, it, seems. with little time for news- hounds, he gave one of his proteges the job of elucidating to my waiting ears the details and little human-in- terest matters about this and that, in wrestling, to wit: l Stars of Laot- Year Bck i i There is now a well-balanced teami men were then divided into groups and practice began. This consisted of throwing baskets from various positions, a ‘demonstration of the hook pass, bank shots and methods of holding the ball. Practice at Armory Practice will be held over at the armory in a few weeks where training will be more intensive. Al- though five of the regulars are back Coach Kraift says that any man showing the ability will replace any- one on the team who is not playing as good a game. Windup Rounds in flolf and Tennis, The fall golf and tennis tourna- ments are drawing to a close after, considerable activity in each field. A‘, week ago last Saturday Frank David- ‘ son defeated Howard Zibble at Even green by a score of 241. Davidson tried out for the team last year, but due to his erratic playing failed to make the grade. In the same series Engstrom took the match from Mar— shall by default, Sobol won over, Slowiak by the same method andl Schreiber beat Kraus by a 5-4 score. Engstrom and Davidson are the main 1 contenders for the championship. Inl l the playoff matches Davidson is con— sidered the favorite. tournament. Tennis Tourney Moving Slowly This year the tennis tournament has not progressed quite as smooth-‘ ly as in previous years. A number of contestants in the quarter-finals have reached their place by default rather than by played matches. At the present time two men are in the semi—finals and two matches yet to be played in the semi-finals, or thirdi round to decide who the other two‘: semi-finalists shall be. The men al—‘ ready in the semi-finals are H. Ar-l| nold and G. Wheaten, who advanccdi by a bye and a default, respectively. The two matches yet to be played in the quarterfinals are between Harry Drell and Richard Boehme and be- tween H. Bodner and T. A. Marow. Last season’s tennis tournament was completed after numerous im-l pedimentary factors, including thel weather, had attempted to conflict with the completion of the schedule. In the finals Mickey Lukas won from Tony Cieslewicz in a three set battle, the last set going 8—6. Mickey was a senior 'last year and so is not in school now, while Tony was a fresh- man and did not return to school this year. Incidentally, Cieslewicz played on the Armour tennis team in most of its matches last spring. However, they cold weather anticipated for the com- 1 ing week is expected to delay thel i due to the many light-weight trosh‘ that have come out. Among these} worthies he mentioned Dunne and‘ McDaniel as the lightest and Schu-i man, Machulis, and Meyer as the‘ l 1 l ARMOUR TECH NEWS brawniest huskies. Of course he told how this year’s team was the best ever, that they were contemplating some good matches and that the school would no doubt gain much fame from their good work. Natur- ally I had the foregoing all ready written down because they always tell you that sort of stuff. I said so and was immediately taken over to watch some of the boys do their stuff. First they pointed out Marslek, Hella, Wolniak, Sumner, and a bunch 01" others, too numerous to mention, all stars from last year. (Those gentlemen who didn‘t have their names mentioned above will be given a free candy bar as a condolence if they will come around and weep on one of the reporter’s shoulders the first Tuesday after this goes to the press). Struggle Ensues Now two stalwarts came forward on the mat to work on each other. Five minutes were spent in just walking- around glowering at each other, perhaps to get them mad. Then one made a swipe at the other. He struck back and thcI fight was on. There was a confused melee for a few moments, a thud, and then there appeared the two men in a death- to~death struggle. One was squeczv ing the breath out of the other while . he returned the courtesy by bendingi the first man’s head around several} times. Both granted and groaned in’ great agony. But I poo—poohed thisl noise, having read how this is all, for efl'ect. “Oh yeah?" says one of the mugs later, “I’ll show you.” i Where-upon he applied a head- lock, a body squeeze and a hammer-| lock at the same time. I was con-' vinced. ‘ i Meets Scheduled l So I retreated back from the ring-l side to gather some more dope on the season. The senior NLE. team pushed 011’ when they eliminated the senior} schmiers from the big touchhall tour— 1 hey. The mechanicals look like po- tential championship material, but they have a couple of games left bc«l fore the victor is declared. The po- tential champs did not roll up as im- pressive a score as they did in their the situation. Wheaten, the man— ager, says that he expects to have several, nay, quite a few meets in the near future, meaning soon after New Year. Among those listed are Wheaten, North Central, DcPaul, and a number of Y.M.C.A.'s. “After four weeks of practice the team is} just about in shape and we’re almost ready to start," said the aforemen— tioned Wheaten. Other items of interest that apv peared were the tournaments that are to start the first week in Decem-l her. There are to be two, one for“ intramural boxing and one forl wrestling. It seems that the purpose of them is to see what possible hid-l den talent there '3, that is hiding' away “unwcpt, unhonored, and un- sung.” Many Casualties. By this time half of the team had been carried away, headed for the mercurochrome, bandages, and hot water. Afraid that someone might think your reporter was also on the team, I departed by way of the fire- escape. over to the. news office to write this epic news for the public. i What bothers me now is how the team will be able to go on with all, the casualties that they are sup- posed to have in the regular run of i ,insofar as medals Tuesday, November 6, l934 other games, but still in all loom as favorites. >l= 7‘: d1 A practice game is to be played be- tween thc senior M.

The senior M.E.’s have been working a little overtime and have overcome several worthy opponents in attaining their present position. After these games three teams remain and then the play—off for the championship will be staged on Ogden Field.

The sched- ule was drawn up for the coming; sea- son, and althougli the exact dates have not been decided upon, the list of events indicate interesting fraternity “battles” during the winter months. The basketball tourney will be begun as soon as the varsity cagcrs depart from the Tech gym. As in the past the preliminary games are to be held in the gym; the final game at the armory.
