In fact December 6 sees the sea- son open with Chicago Junior Col- lege at Armour and here’s hopin’ for l l l Last Friday the senior M. E. team I, 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. However the soph M. E. squad, may prove to be troublesome. ARMOUR TECH NEWS 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-l 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 n'unnerups. The spirit of rivalry is intense and a great deal of action is to be antici- pated. The playoff games will be of 7 min- a bier 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 ute quarters with one minute time- ofis. All the officials will be pro- vided.

Chris is showing great form in practice sessions. Dollenmaier although idle, has a fine two season record that insures the Tech team of another capable man when he gets in the pink. Re- member thnt 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. Merz, in Lauchiskis’ place, is showing rare form and should cer— tainly be a cinch for a varsity “A" this year. Pup Warner, the remain- der of the Warner-Pflum guard duo, is expected to fill Pflum‘s place; ac- cording to advance reports, he is well on the way. New Men Work Hard i Men that stood out in the inter-i class tourneys are holding the first positions as the regulars are dis- counted. Levy, a senior, has been just a little short of the top but is fighting for a regular berth in this, his last season. Shukes, Hagcnaur, Nylon, and Sramek are outstanding junior hopes. “Swede” Nylen has been showing: promise as a forward and should step ahead due to his height. Other of the men keeping the regulars in step are: Malcika, and Taradash, sophs; and Eberhardt, O‘Connell, O’Brien, and Wagner, the frosh. The green toppers show great form but, excepting O’Brien, lack size. Last season the Tech outfit amassed 594 points to the opponents 567 to break even in the win—loss columns. Although no prediction (official) have been had it is ex- pected that the team can better last year’s mark. Attendance Should Mount . The Armory, which is to be usedl by the Tech team for their games and practice sessions, has a floor that is adequate for three good size basketball courts. The seating of the basketball fans will have to be taken care of by the erec— tion of temporary hleacher seats. The new home floor should greatly in— crease the student attendance be- cause of the proximity of the home court.

WOEJ’CHBALL GAJWE ELIMINATES FRDSH FRQM TOURNAMENT 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 lust freshmen from the touchball tourney (there were only two teams anyway). Fresh Team Uses Ringer The frosh experienced some diffiv culty in getting the required six men for their team due to the depantsing contest going on at that time be- 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 ball. Ref is Uncertain The tail-end freshman almost had six points when Nichols picked up the hull 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 More-mentioned juniors. So disappointed were they by this re- versed decision that they didn’t make any points the rest of the game. Fresh Become Desperate As the end of the game approach— od the worried green-hats made des— perate stabs 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 l'eet out from under and then gave a hefty shove, {0110wed by a bit of trampling: on...Incidentally, knowing they would feel belittlcd if we didn’t we shall mention Dollcn» maier, Bill and Shcwchuk as the Wresriing Squad" ‘Windfs Up Training Due to the inability of the Lin- coln-Belmont Y. . 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 Lincoln-Belmont 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» tivcly 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 compe- tition with Armour before. They are reputed to have some good tal- ent. George Wheaton, 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 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. ’ iod.

Hears folk or Meeting Friday “Torsional Vibrations and Critical Spec/ls as Applied to Engine Crank- shafts" was the joint Speech given by it. J. Maui and W. W. Kenning 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-v rcction of Professor Roesch. They told of the difiicultics in designing reciprocating engines due to the crankshaft 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.” 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— llowever, 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 subcommittees will sub— mit their up-to—dato 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.
