There are several reasons for this. One is that Captain Lauchis- cus has something ailing his knee so much as to keep him off the floor, and Dollcnmaier, one of last year’s letter men, is out for a while due to faulty tonsils. And then, says the coach, the team as a whole is com- posed of men of smaller stature than usual for college teams. He is not, howere, pessimistic, as there are four or five of last year's letter men back and there are also sev- oral promising freshmen who starred in the recent class tournament. The schedule for the coming; season has now been completed and nothing: remains but to put the team in shape. Assistant Managers Needed An appeal is hereby sent out for several juniors who would not only like to be assistant managers of the team but would really put their heart and soul into it and do a good job. The coach and Johnnie Hum- iston are both eager for some good men to get in shape as a possible manager for the 1935—36 season. This is a chance for you men who want to get into something with a future. Cul‘ Comes Early . Last Thursday the scissors were taken up and the team cut to about thirty of the best men who turned out. ’Tis always a sad day for those who are turned down; but it also marks the start of earnest training for the coming season. Wrestlers Stage Practice Match Next week the wrestling team will stage a practice meet with the Lincoln-Belmont Y. M. C. A. The unique feature about the event is the fact that every man on the squad who has been working out for the past month will be given a bout, providing suitable competition can be offered. Coach Weissman is expecting about 20 or 25 matches. Among the regulars expected to take part are Hella, Marslek, Patter- son, Schmidt, Sumner, Bergquist, and Peterson. The Lincolanelmont outfit has given Armour the stiffest competi- tion of any team in the Chicago area in the past four years. The touchball spirit has so com- pletely entered the Techawk’s life that even the honorarics are consid- ering the formation of those repre- sentative groups passing for teams. No kidding, it would really be funny to see some of these super- ,q‘xindstoncs turned lose on our grid- iron (?). Possibly these super men can sling the P. S. (pig; skin) with some of the ability that they toss the B. in working for their S. S. (Sheepskin). It has finally come to this: the Jr. F. P. E. and the Sr. F. P. E., a couple of prominent has beens, will meet Wednesday to settle a bit of a verbal tilt with regard to the Ac- tuarial Office-Boy‘s title. The Soph. F. P. E.’s (if such be) had best take advantage of a chance at a snap game. The {rat men continue to demon— strate an interest in the pastime and threaten to include a touchball tour- ney in their program next year. Last Wednesday, the Delts held the Phi Kaps to a (H) deadlock. rBeta Psi vs. Phi Kappa Sigma is in the sport- light this week. Continuing with the interfrater- nity program, the basketball pain ings have finally been made. Bucky O’Connor, manager of interfrat; sports, induced those concerned that last Friday, being a pleasing day, might see the drawings, and thus we prepare for some more cheese box skirmishes. The practice dates and, pairings are posted on the bulletin board. The Phi Pi’s, standing champions for sixteen years straight, stand a fair chance to win their second leg on cup number six.

THIS WEEK'S GAMES Friday, November 16 1:10—Sr. M.E. vs. Jr. M.E. ‘3:10—Jr. E.E. vs. Hawkeyes. The senior mechaniculs, pre tour- nament favorites, took a 14 to 0 trim- ing from the senior E.E. team in a practice tilt. The electricals, play- ing‘ true to form again after being upset by the F.P.'s during the early stages of the tournament, ably took the measure of the up-and—coming M.E.’s. This defeat, however, was followed by a Mechanical victory over the soph schmiers by a two point margin. Capt. Al Lauchiskis has fared the worse for football. He sought to save his ankles and ruined a good knee. Nope, the cane is not a fake. Geno Heike and “Adolph" Christoph are handling themselves more grace- fully as they sneak in some 13. B. practice. What chance has an ordin- ary man got when “Adolph” the “human spring" gets loose anywhere below twelve feet. The wonder of the age is John Schommer’s successful bargaining with the powers that be to get the Armory on Wontworth for our home court! More practice and more spec— tators are in the offing and this means won games for Bill Kra‘ift. It seems that somebody’s indoor tennis business stood between John and success for many moons. ’Tis said that the tennis business will be resumed at odd times and this kind of gives the Tech not men a scene for spring training. Good by bad court excuses!

Mechs, pro- claimed by observing critics as the potential winners, all but lost their eye teeth in the fastest and most furious of the games yet played. Closc‘.7 Look at the 8 to 6 score. It was an inter—departmental battle with the sophomore Schmiers on the long end of the score up till the end of the first half. Then the seniors came from behind, with an exhibition of superb playing, to win as indicated above. Showing an utter disregard for the supposed awe in which the up- pei’classmen are thought to be held, the sophomores; needed but three minutes of play to make their first lone touchdown, while the seniors slumbered peacefully on. A fine pass by I‘Iackman to Show made the score. The balance of the sophomore team was made up of Bodcnmann, Heike, Forberg‘, and Kreml. Staggering from the furious start the sophs had made, the seniors ral- lied in the second half. After a fight, they finally completed a for- ward pass, Phillips to Christoph, to tie the score. Phillips and Christoph have constantly been the stellar per- formch for the seniors. Phillips’ pass for this touchdown was three- fourths the length of the field. Bird- song, Mayerowicz, La Pedus, May, y and Jones completed the ME. roster. ‘ The game was one worth seeing. The seniors had a great advantage in that the running,r in of LuPedus and Jones hurried the soph passer. In fact a safety by Jones on Hackman won the game for the seniors. Some great blocking was done by Bodenmann for the sophs as ,time and again he. spilled Jones ory j his ear. 1 The hard play can be judged from 4’ the fact that the seniors have asked i the sponsors of the tournament for :a bye, on the grounds that they 'huve played more games than the :remaining teams. The seniors must recover from the daze the sophs lefty ‘ them in. They are Sissies. Fall Tourney Men Fight to Beat Snow The tennis tournament, like all other earthly things, evidently has an end, and that end is but a week away. The inclemency of the weather has added not a little to the natural lengthiness of a well— represented elimination tourney, but slowly and relentlessly the grinding wheels of competition have taken their toll. The start of last week re. vealed but four survivors of the original field of 38 starters left. The semi-finalists were, Wheaten, who won from Freund by default; Bodnar, who won from Marow on a forfeit; Bochmc, who won from Drcll, 10-8, 6«3; and Arnold, who had drawn a bye. Thursday morning; Bodnar won his right to the finals by defeating Wheaten in a hard- l'ought battle by a score of 0-6, 6-3, (L3. The other game, between Ar- nold and Boehme, which will do- cide the other finalist, has not as yet been played. Finals This Week Thus this week will herald in the winner of the 1934 fall tennis tour— nament. Even though the tourna» ment has proceeded at a. snail’s pace, and though probably many of the participants really had but little chance to display their net ability, the tourney has nevertheless pro- vided the tennis team and its coach, Prof. Calvert, an excellent oppor- tunity for sizing up possible team members. The losers can have an- other crack at the team roasts next spring when the more ‘favorably garnished spring tournament gets under way. The golf tournament has been ex— periencing the same dil‘i'iculties as have beset the tennis tournament, cnd probably to a greater degree. The main hindrance has been the spasmodic spells of harsh weathers which have impeded the rapid nego- tiation of the tourney, and which have aroused serious doubts that the tourney could be completed bo— forc the cold weather sets in. The semi~linals were successfully reached by Davidson, Schreiber, Engstrom, and Sobel. Schreiber en- tored the finals by defeating Sobel, Tuesday, November l3, I934 era/mums TEAM iii/armour a DIVER HOPES roe sear Material for this year’s edition of the swimming team is engaged in training preparatory to the ap- proaching time trials. The turnout this year, well over forty men, is the largest in recent years, but there still remains a problem to be met with; that is the lack of diving ma- terial. ‘ The one strong: hope is Bob Ly- ford, a senior chemical. In high school rB‘Ol) was a capable diver and those aware of his ability consider his services most vital. Capable Freestylers Appear In the other events, namely, the free style event, Ralph McDonald is making a strong bid for recogni‘ tion. Duerrstein, a junior, is another likely candidate who will probably ssc service as a free styler The regulars returning are: Cap- izhe :l0 and 100 yard free style events; Stan Bernstein, the back stroke man, who is beginning: his fourth year on the Tech team, and Dinny Moore, a free style swimmer. Then there are Tallafuss and Knaus, free style and breast stroke swim- mers respectively. The swimming schedule is in the process of being formed. It is planned that the Tech competitors for the coming season will be match— ed so that the Armour team will not be outclassed by some powerful Big Ten team one meet and the follow- ing week engage a‘“pushover.” In_ stead teams of the same calibre are sought. The first meet of the year is tentatively planned for the middle part of January. who had previously won by default, by the score ot‘ 4-8.

From the action shown in the Igym, the team will carry on as it has done for years, in the opinion-0f the coach. A number of the new men showed ‘to good advantage although they had had but a limited amount of training. Several of the aspirants who had never put on gloves before in their lives acted like veterans, while the old-timers like Hella, Bothwel‘l, Non‘is, and Moore retired respectfully to the background. 1 1 l E tell you that: Chesterfield Cigarettes are made of mild, ripe tobaccos.
