Regulars Out of
Practice

ARMORY TO BE USED

Basketball, the prize baby in Ar-
mour's fall-winter sports catalogue,
is due to be upon us ere we realize
it. In fact December 6 sees the sea-
son open with Chicago Junior Col-
lege at Armour and here’s hopin’ for
a big opening. To get down to facts,
the Tech five plays its first two
games on the hardwood of the Went-
worth Armory~then it’s Chicago at
the Midway on December 15. Whea-
ton keeps the play close to home with
the first of two games on December
18.

Injuries Crowd Sidelines

With a full team of regulars back
and a scrappy bunch of substitutes
to keep them stepping the outlook
is bright, but the old Alma Mater
cannot boast of height, so organiza-
tion and speed will be the factors
governing success. The injury jinx
has all interested crossing, nngers;
already Captain Al Lauchiskis and
Harry Dollenmaier are watching the
team practice: Dolly has a case of
tonsils and should soon be in, but:
the Cap‘n is on a cane indefinitely.
We might have to push “Lugan”
around the floor in a wheel chair!

The fairest objection to gradua—
tion, “ye grim reaper," is not a loss
of numbers from last year, but rath-
er a loss of strength. Ray Pflum,
captain of last year’s quintent was
practically invaluable. Of course
Micky Lucas and Len Rummel are
going to be missed plenty. Mickey
with height, fight, and ability had
a worthy record.

Letterman Display S'kill

Christoph, Dollenmaier, Hcike,
Lauchiskis, Mcrz, and Warner, all
letterrnen, will provide as nice a
backbone for a winning combination
as any coach could want. “Springs"
Christoph who scored 26 points in
the first three games last year but
dwindled in a mid-season slump, is
looked to for plenty baskets this
year. Chris is showing great form
in practice sessions.

Dollenmaier although idle, has a
fine two season record that insures
the Tech team of another capablel
man when he gets in the pink. Re-
member that Dolly appeared last
year with a broken finger but came
around as the season opened. Gene
Heike, high point; man on last year's
squad, is coming into form slowly,
but he’ll be there when they kick
the gong. Mcrz, in Lauchiskis’ place,
is showing rare form and should cer-
tainly be a cinch for a varsity “A"
this year. Pep Warner, the remain-
der of the Warner-Pflum guard duo,
is expected to till Pflum's place; ac—
cording to advance reports, he is well
on the way.

New Men Work Hard

Last Friday the senior M. E. team
beat the junior M. E.'s 12 to 0. Prior
to this the senior M. E.‘s had elim-
inated the soph schmiers in a hard
fought contest. The senior team has
played more than their share of the
games and have earned their position
in the final bracket of the tourna-
ment. The predictions are that the
senior M. E. team will probably find‘
the bulk of their opposition in the
strong junior E. E. squad. l—Ioweverl
the soph M. E. squad, may prove to!
be troublesome.

The two freshman teams in the;
tourney have been eliminated. The
“Hawkcyes” fell to the junior E. E.
team and the “Fresh” forfeited to
the soph M. E. squad.

Three teams remain in the tourna-
ment. This week the junior E. E.’sl
mix with the soph M. Els to deter-l
mine which team will play the senior
M. E.‘s in the finals. The tinre at
which this game is to be played is
to be decided by the two teams.

The spirit of touchball has spread
rapidly. The latest news indicates
that a game is to be played between
the Phi Pi’s and members of Tau
Beta Pi. The date is tentative.

Along the fraternity lines the Phi
Pi's touchball squad took the measure
of the Beta Psi outfit. So far it looks
like the Phi Pi’s are the Lelass due to
this and the Phi Kap victory.

The golf tournament progressed
to the semi-finals but the Engstrom~
Davidson match is delaying the play-
ing of the final match. The tennis
tournament has narrowed down to
two contestants. The finalists arci
Bodnar and Arnold.

just a little short of the top but is
fighting for a regular berth in this,
his last season. Shukes, Hagenaur,

junior hopes. “Swede” Nylon has
been showing promise as a forward

The Armory, which is to be used
by the Tech team for their games

and practice sessions, has a ‘
floor that is adequate for three
good size basketball courts. The

seatingr of the basketball fans will
have to be taken care of by the erec-
tion of temporary bleacher seats. The

Fraternities Vie for
Basketball Laurels

The Interfraternity council has
completed the final plans for the an-
nual fraternity basketball tourney,
the popularity of which has not been
eclipsed by any other “frat" activity.
The practice games are progressing
at full speed, with each team en-
deavoring to make the best of its
meagre allotment: of time in which to
develop a capable team. As of for-
mer years, the Phi Pis are the fav-
orites, with the Delts and Phi Kaps
their chief and most feared op-
ponents, as the probable trunnerups.
The spirit of rivalry is intense and
a great deal of action is to be antici—

ated. .

The playoff games, will be of 7 min-
ute quarters with one minute time—
oi’l’s. All the officials will be pro‘
vided. If the games are not started
within fifteen minutes, a forfeit will
be declared, and the victory given
to the team which is present. A com-
plete schedule follows:

WUUEHBALL GAME

ELJMINA YES FRGSH
FRDM TQURNAMENT

Several junior electricals barely
nosed out the freshman “Hawkeyes”
by the close score of 24—0 last Fri-
day. We say it was a close score
because it should have been much
more with “Pop Warner, alias
the Four Horsemen, being on the
junior team. The defeat eliminated
the last freshmen from the touchball
tourney (there were only two teams
anyway).

Fresh Team Uses Ringer

The fresh experienced some diffi-
culty in getting the required six men
[or their team due to the depantsing-
contest going on at that time bu
tween the men of ’37 and ’38. Gene
Heike finally volunteered and the
game was on. Due to a burst of
speed or something, the juniors
scored three touchdowns in quick
order before the freshies could stem
the tide. After they had partially
subdued them, they were able several
times to approach within scoring dis-
tance due to “fourteen-point" Warn—
er’s stellar back-fielding“. He always
managed to get. there just after a
freshman had caught the bull.

Ref is Uncertain

The tail-end freshman almost had
six points when Nichols picked up
the ball after it. was fumbled by one
of the junior worthies and ran to
his goal. The referee said it was a
touchdown but was convinced else-
wisc by the store-mentioned juniors.
So disappointed were they by this rc~
versed decision that they didn’t make
any points the rest of the game.

Fresh Become Desperate

As the end of the game approach~
ed the worried greendiats made des-
perate stubs at at least one touch-
down, but were foiled each time. No
small bit in the juniors success was
due to their efficient methods of

blocking in which first they removed .

the feet out from under and then
gave a hefty shove, followed by a
bit of trampling- on...Incidentally,
knowing they would feel belittlcd if
we didn’t we shall mention Dollen—

Wrestling Eduard"
at Meeting Friday

 
  
 
 
   
   
 
 
 
 
 
    
 
   
 
 
   
   
  

“Torsional Vibrations and Critical
Speeds as Applied to Engine Crank-
shafts” was the joint Speech given
by R. J. Maci and W. W. chning
during the meeting of the Armour
branch of the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers last Friday.

The speakers were formerly spe—
cial students, working under the di-
rection of Professor Roesch. They
told of the difficulties in designing
reciprocating engines due to the
orankshaft stresses set up by the
varying torques which are the in-
evitable effects of the driving im-
pulses. Analyzing the various vibra~
tions, they outlined the method of
determining the critical speeds.

At the next meeting, which will be
held after the Thanksgiving holidays
the society will have two more stu-
dent speakers, discussing the topic,
“Air Conditioning."

Due to the inability of the Lin»
coln-Belmont Y. M. C. A. to co~
operate sooner, the date of the prac-
tice wrestling tilt has been sched—
uled for December 13. This meet
will be held at; the LincolnnBelmont
gym. Fifteen or twenty Armour
warriors are to take part in'this in-
itial session of the season.

George Williams Booked

A match with George Williams
College is scheduled for December
6, but is more of a practice match
due to the reported inferiority of
their squad. However, the meets
with North Central scheduled tenta~
tively for January 22 and March 6
are expected to take the spotlight.
The North Central squad is this sea-
son’s “dark horse", because their
team has never entered into cornpo-
tition with Armour before. They
are reputed to have some good tal—
ant.

George Wheaten, manager of the
wrestling team, is making: an effort
to schedule meets with Chicago and
Northwestern universities, and the
outcome of these tilts (if they could
be scheduled) is doubtful.

School Tourney Scheduled

The boxing; aspirants are new hard
at work preparing for the tourna-
ment which is scheduled for the. first
part of December. The purpose of
the tournament is to give the men
experience for future matches and
to arouse school interest in the sport.
The bouts are to be arranged in
weight; brackets and the winners will
receive appropriate awards. ‘Coach
“Sonny“ Weissman asks that any
men interested in boxing.r would
come up to the gym on practice
nights and work out. The exact date
of the tournament will he an-
nounced in a later issue of the News
as soon as it is definitely decided.

 

Placement Group Has
Four Subcommittees

' Progress has been made in the
last few. weeks by the placement
committee although no general meet-
ing has been held during that pe-
lod. However, the committee has
appointed four subcommittees; Re—
lation with industry; Relation with
faculty and students; Relation with
alumni; Relation with trade associa-
tions. The General committee will
have a meeting next week and the
respective sub—committees will sub«
mit their up-to-(latc findings at that
time.

Connections are being made with
several trade associations. These
connections will be made either by
the individual members themselves
or by Armour Institute as a school.
