With only two of last year’s regulars gone, the team is almost the same as the one that did such noble work in taking eleven of their first thirteen games. North Central Team to Beat The season begins on December fifth with the boys from way down Arkansas way coming up to the Armory to get licked, we hope. Other contests will follow in rapid succession, each time with the home boys out on top, again we hope. However. one of the few games that looks doubtful is the encounter with North Central on their home grounds. Armour has lost every con— test with them in the last six years. but, as their team regulars gradu- dated last June, it is thought that we might turn the tide and do a little winning on our own part. Based on their last year’s showing, it would seem that, barring unfore- seen accidents, the men will take practically every game. Lake Forest should fall easily, and Wheaton, though a stiff team, has yielded fair- ly consistently to the Tech attack. Michigan State Normal, who lost both their games last season, should follow suit this year. George Wil- liams hasn’t been much trouble, and JUNIOR SCHMIERS WIN As chemical engineers, the junior schmiers again proved their worth as football players by outrunning the senior fire protects 12-6 in a close battle of deceptive plays. The first real break of the game occurred near the end of the first half when the chorus, returning a kick to the fifty yard line completed a forward from Hackman to Home on the ten yard line. From here Skuza planted the ball in to the waiting arms of Heel/(man over the goal to draw the first six points 01’ the game. Later in the second half Heilte took the ball on the chcms’ forty and ran to the other thirty to put the chems in scoring position. From Hackman to Forberg the attempt was complete and the score was raised to 12-0. Quandee of the fire protects snatched the kickofi‘ on the thirty and lateralled to Neal who carried it to midfield. Neal then ran it to the twenty, but the attempt to pass ov<-r the goal was a failure. A chem pass was later intercepted by Quandce en-v abling him to pass in the next play to Neal on the five yard stripe, who carried it over for a touchdown. The ball was twice intercepted by the fire protects during the remrin~ ing two minutes in a vain attempt to tie the score. E. E. 4 SHOCKS JR. MECHS. After a half an hour of plain and fancy fumbling on the part of both teams, the senior electricals emerged victorious over their rivals, the junior moths, by the score of 14 to 0. Much of the ground gaining dur- ing the first half was by Lugullo ol' the mechs who made many fine runs, but because too many passes were being dropped, they were to no avail. The first threat of scoring was on ARMOUR TECH NEWS Tackle Football is Due Next Friday After an absence of thirty years tackle football is again to be played at Armour. The sophomore mechan- icals with a make up team composed of themselves and their classmates have issued a challenge to take on all corners, and it has been accepted by our lowly freshmen. Next Friday at three o’clock is the time set for the slaughter. This meeting should prove very interesting not only from the unique~ ness of the sport here, and from the fact that the teams have no equip- ment, but also because of the nat», ural feud that exists between those two classes. During the game the freshmen will receive their oppor- tunity to get even (if they can) with the second year men who have had a joyous time depantsing them. On the other hand the sophomores will be fighting. doubly hard to uphold the tradition of keeping down the frosh. Both teams are made up of men who are no setups on the foo"- ball field. Chelgren, Simeon, Siedenberg‘, and others. The freshmen, led by Tull- gren and Margetic, intend to do all in their power to even up any scores. catch by Bill in the end zone near the side—lines brought the first score for the juicers. Near the bsginning of the second half, much tense play near the mechs’ goal line finally concluded with the electricals g:tting a safe ty. Again, the mechs in the person of Lugullo, gained ground consist~ ently and came very close to scorn ing on a long pass to Harold, which bounced just out of his reach in the the part of the electricals. It came in the nature of a low bullet—like pass by Warner, but fell incomplete Chicago, despite their big ten label, haven’t been the best t' ‘ Arkansas, Carroll, and Detroit U. are all new teams and so can’t be counted upon to drop their games, and judging by their showings last year in their own leagues they might prove rather stilt. Team Not Cut Yet All of the men, of which there are some nineteen or twenty, show prom- ise in their respective positions and will probably be in as fine shape as last year. The guard combination of Warner and Dollenmaier, co—cap- tains, is functioning as of last year and 'Heike is sinking his line shots with regularity. Merz, regular cen- ter, is out of the running at pres- ent with a twisted ankle suffered in a recent practice and is limping around school on a cane. He says that a few days will show enough improvement so that he will be able to resume practice and be ready for the first game. THREE TEAMS OUT AS FAIR WEATHER SPEEDS TOUCHBALL SOPH. M. E. TAKE JR. E. E. Using the same rough and tumble tactics that characterized their previ« one game, the sophomore mechani— cals downed the junior electricals by a score of 24 to 6. Early in the first half, the sophs placed themselves in a scoring posi- tion when Engelthaler received a beautiful toss from Seidenberg, and scored the first touchdown. The juniors took the ball on the kick- ofi’, and with Slowiak as quarter~ back, they attempted to march down the field. However, the line work of Faust and Rodkin hurried the passes, so that most of them fell short. The juicers opened the second half but lost the ball on downs. Once again the Seidenberg, Engelv thaler combination got under way but the opposition tightened up enough to prevent a score. The elec— tricals took the ball and opened up with a barrage of long passes. One of these plumped into the hands of Graupner for the first and only junior tally. Ruffled by this opposition, Seiden- berg took the pigskin on the kick-off and, aided by Chelgren’s blocking, romped the length of the field for a touchdown. Losing the ball on downs, but regaining it shortly after» wards, the mechanicals pulled a trick play in which Rodkin tossed a short lateral to Seidenberg, who sailed a long pass over the goal line to En- gelthal for the final score. in the end zone for naught.

Techozuik Partners to Have Difficult Meets In anticipation of the coming sea- son, the fencing squad is being whip~ ped into final shape. , The first meet is expected to be held during the Christmas holidays with the Lake Shore Athletic Club,. After receiv» ing a letter from Purdue, manager W. Emmerich has tentatively sched- uled another meet for some time in February. There will be seven positions open on themsquad: three foil men, two saber men and two epee men. Every Monday and Friday at live o’clock finds the fencers busily at work in D Mission. The squad has been greatly strengthened by the transfer of Kahle from Purdue. Being not only an excellent foilsman but a good saber and epee man he boosts Ar- mour’s hopes for a championship team. Mr. Setterberg is actively sponsoring the fenccrs and hopes to have the sport recognized by the A. T. A. A. New men may still come out and will be ‘amply instructed under the supervision of Captain Z. Tryzna. Honor “A” Discusses Awarding oi Letters The award of letters was the most important topic discussed at the last meeting of the Honor “A" Friday, November 8. W. D. Concolino was chosen chairman of the committee to decide upon the award of letters. Other members of the committee are J. F. Bartusck and E. A. Heikc. Al- though a majority of members was not present a new constitution was adopted after a general discussion. Another important point brought up at the meeting was the issuance of lifetime passes to all athletic events at Armour to lettermen. Pledging of new members was put off until the next meeting. Tuesday, November 12, F935 WATER PL A NW1... lArmour Archers Leaf (pontimcod from page 1) , upon coagulation and precipitation of suspended and colloidal matter in waters of low turbidity. As a starting point in the actual experimental work, the minimum amount of tunbidity required to pro— vide a sufficient number of nuclei about which the coagulating alumi- num sulfate and sodium aluminate could form was determined. Suggest New Method Water of low turbidity is difficult to treat because the fine particles penetrate the filter bed. As one melhod of facilitating coagulation, it is suggested that artificial turbidity be added to bring the total to 50‘. However, investigations at the water plant suggest the new idea of ex— tending the time of coagulation from the standard practice of 15-30 min- utes to periods as long as one and one-half hours. This is brought about by mechanical means. The increase in time, however, is more than compensated for by the fact that the water which is treated in such a manner requires about one- half the time to settle that is re- quired by water treated in the usual fashion. Therefore, while the reac- tion chambers must,be enlarged, the sedimentation basins may at the same time be decreased in size. Plant Hus Won Notice Armour’s plant is one of the few experimental plants in the country, and its outstanding feature is its considerable flexibility. It has been featured previously to this in a spe- cial article in the Engineering News- Record. by John}? Sturgeon J. F. Sturgeon was elected presi- dent of the Armour Archers in. an election held recently. The other officers chosen were H. O. Bauer-A msister, secretary and J. Damiani, treasurer. The name “Armour Arch— ers" was decided upon as official. Thursday afternoon the first regular practice of the year took place on the archery range located opposite the fieldhouse on Federal street. Although the range is not yet finished, the members hope to- havo it completed in a few weeks. Meets with nearby schools and clubs will be held as soon as possible. Although many of the old mem» bars have experience in archery, such experience is not necessary to join the club. ' Many of the students. presznt at the meeting were novices. Fraternities Discuss Novel Formal Dance Possi‘biltics of holding a formal inn tcrfraternity dance were discussed last Friday morning at a meeting in the Tau 'Beta Pi rooms. No date or place has been set for the dance. Phi Pi Phi will receive the track cup that it won during Junior Week last year and Rho Delta Rho is to- rcceive the skin for highest scholastic average. There will be no interfratcrnity touch ball games but arrangements. are being made for interfraternity basketball games which will be held soon. The interfraternity swimming meet will also be held during the last week of school before the Christmas holidays.
