In winning five out of eleven dual
meets the swimming team has made
a record which shows great improve-
ment over that of last year, when
two wins resulted from nine meets.
After losing the first five encounters
this year, the team rallied to take
five of the last six and bring a
measure of success to an otherwise
mediocre season. Following the last
meet came the election of next year’s
captain, Herbert Ruekberg, and the
appointment of Jack Stern as man—
agcr.

Knaus and Duerrstein received
major letters for their efforts and
minor awards were given to Dodge,
Manke, Ruekberg, Svagdis, and
Winblad. Lopina, McGrath and
Smidl were the recipients of sweat-
ers. Winblad was high point man
for the season with a total of 60
points and was closely followed by
Dodge and Duerrstein with 59 and
57 points respectively.

Season Starts Quietly

The season. which saw Armour
make 379 points as against the 449
piled up by their opponents, started
off rather inauspiciously when
Wright Junior won six out of seven
events to administer a 51-25 shel-
lacking to the Techawk team. Only
Knaus’ win in the breast stroke and
several second places saved the meet
from becoming a root. The meet
with George Williams resulted in an!
other defeat, and return meets with
these schools resulted in losses as
did the encounter with South Side
Junior College. Here, however. def-
inite signs of improvement could he
noticed and three first places were
garnered.

Then came the awakening! A trip
to Naperville resulted in the first
victory of the season with a 38-32
win over North Central’s Red De-

With spring just around the
corner and balmy bree‘zes promised
soon, the Tech track team is ready
to start practice on Ogden Field.
Lockers are to be assigned Wednes—
day and all track men are urged to
turn out.

A definite outdoor schedule has
not yet been arranged but it is
known that there will be meets with
South Side Junior College, Loyola,
and there will be. a trip to Bradley
Polytech if the budget permits. Par»

conclude the season.

mons. Each team took [our firsts
but Armour’s usual preponderance
of second places gave the Techawks
the meet. Having tasted victory, the
swimmers could not be stopped. Two
meets with Central “Y” resulted in
as many wins, and a contest with
DePauw gained another for Tech.
The first meet with ”Y" took the
form of a rout with Armour on the
routing end for a change. Seven
firsts in eight events gave the home
boys a total of 50 points against the
21 of their opponents. A return meet
with the “Y“ ofiered closer compe-
tition, with the medley relay proving
the deciding factor. Duerrstcin.
Svagdis, and Tallafuss, swimming
this race, came through to give AVA
mour a much needed first and a 39
to 36 victory.
Tech Beats Red Demons

The tables were turned, however.
in the return meet with South Side.
Four firsts in a row weie nullified
when Andalman, swimming anchor
man in the medley for the visitors,
opened up a lead which could not be
overcome. South Side took the meet
by a 38 to 36 score. The season's
finale saw an inspired team, led by
Captain Knuus, take six out of eight
events to end the year with a 49

The haseballers, despite our un-

are really rounding into fine shape,
and the season’s opening on April 10
will see a strong home team playing
against Chicago University. Good
freshman prospects help to make the
outlook pleasant and the veteran
hurling duo of Delve and Dollenmaier
dispenses with pitching worries.

With only a week and a half to go,
Tech's baseball squad got together
for a pep meeting last Friday in the
new field—house on Ogden Field. Pre-
sidcd over by the coach, Bill Krafft,
the meeting was a big success and it
was moved, seconded, and voted by
a two-thirds majority of the quorum
present that the team win twelve out
of its fourteen games, thirteen be-
ing an unlucky number and fourteen,
well, nobody can imagine the local
nine sweeping the season.

Baseball Stars Talk

Among, other things the gathering:
was enlivened by short, snappy talks
from such noted baseball stars as
Amel Edamec, Dolly Hollenmaier,
and, of all people, Sirving Idenberg.
Their topics were of much interest
and value to the diamond. chasers,
such worthy things as “What you
owe to baseball and Armour Tech,"
“Cheating is definitely not in the
limelight this year, so don’t cheat
unless you might lose the game,” and
“Where to secrete the bases that one
steals.” Surely it can be said, with—
out reserve, that thoughts so elevat-
ing as these are worthy of listening
to with all one’s heart and soul. Un-
fortunately, during these heart~to«
heart and straight-from-thc-shoulder
talks, several men were seen covertly
shooting dice and cheating every two
or three throws, showing,r that they
weren’t taking in the golden ideas
with a lot of interest.

mm with Eggrulling
One important point was brought

 

up in regard to the first game of
the season, that with Chicago Univer-
sity on April 10. This being only
two days before Easter it was sug—
gested that the two teams, to show
that only fair play and good fellow-
ship existed between each and each,
have a little eggl‘olling contest be-
fore the game, thereby beating the
President by some 36 hours. The
motion brought a storm of applause
(or applesauce) because, after all,
the fellows are kids at heart, and
what’s so nice as u good old egg»
rolling? Koach Crafl’t was all for
the idea but reminded the boys that
one can not roll eggs on level ground.
For a moment the room was hushed,
an a flood of tears seemed imminent.
But only for a moment was there
silence ..pitcher Delve, fired with
a new thought, proposed that for the
first inning hard-boiled eggs be
pitched over to the batter who could
enjoy the sport of breaking the poor
little wouldvbc-chickens with a vicious
thrust. But the fielders cried out
that they couldn’t enjoy the fun be-
cause no one could hit an egg out to
them. Assistant manager Lange, ris-
ing majestically as befitted his posi-
tion, then moved that all the fielders
come in and throw eggs to the batter
which would give the home team a
little chance to have some fun at
their opponent’s expense. The mo-
tion was seconded and carried im:
mediately and so Chicago U. will be
mighty surprised to have such sport
going on.
