Svagdis took an easy lead all the way through his race, and Havlicek found little competition in his lOO-yard free style.

Fencing Club is Well On Way to Recovery With possibilities of taking on in— tercolleg‘iale matches after the first of the year, the Fencing: Club is working hard to build up its mem— hers for competition. The turnout now reaches 15 at its meetings which are held on Wednesday and Friday at five o’clock. Having sufficient equipment, the club earnestly aims for a chance to prove its merits as a minor sport at Armour. Of its membership, a few have adapted themselves to the art of fencing sufficiently for strong competition. Among these are Mac— Connell, Kahle, Reh, Richardson, and Beatty. Until further strength is acquired, however, the team will not look for outside competition. Sports Status of 60-0133 Discussed The athletic status of the Armour cooperative student is still an unset— tled question. According to Profes- sor Schommer, our entering the Little Nineteen Athletic Association will probably bar the cooperative stu- dents from active participation in our college athletics, just as it will bar those students who have flunks against their records and who are at the time making a creditable showing. If it is finally decided that Armour will not enter the Little Nineteen, the cooperative students, since they are following one of our regular courses, will be able to par- ticipate in our college sports, both when they are in the industrial or laboratory group and when they are attending classes here. Due to the poor locker room and gym facilities, the cooperative stu- dents haven‘t as yet had gym classes, Armour Quintet l Defeats Wheaten thnton (30) Armour (39) h f I) f p McCurrol 2 o o Heilie a 7 1 Taken 0 0 l on 6 0 1 Nelson 1 1 (”O'Connell o 1 1 pdikc l 2 3Henrikseu D 2 1 Mollctt (l (l ZO'Brien 4 0 i McDonald 1 1 uglier 1 1 1 Merritt () ll lSlIukes 0 0 (i Deihlc 2 2 3Kubieka o o o ‘uvin 0 0 0| *7 illcr o o o( 1411 s Grosser 1 1 1) McShane 3 1 21‘! 11 8 lill Last Wednesday the Techawks de- feated the traveling Wheaton squad, 39 to 30. The game opened with a {lash-bang that isn’t usually seen un— til the last few minutes of a score tied, rivalry game. These first five minutes of play were tense, neither squad scoring until Win-atop broke through for a basket. Both teams scored slowly but steadily, Wheaten managing to keep the lead by one or two points until the last five minutes of this half. At this stage the Tech five overcame the daze that the Wheaten boys had thrown over them, by some fast moving and hard play- ing offense and a dynamic defense, planting four baskets to take the lead at the half, 20 to 14. The second half opened with both teams playing as though they had just climbed out of bed, instead of just finishing 20 minutes of gruel- ling play. Again Wheaten staitcd the scoring, sinking a long basket froml the middle of the floor. The length of this shot proved to be a prophecy,‘ for Armour’s defense clicked so well following it that Wheaton’s attempts ; at the hoop had to be confined to mid- l field.

Warsley. After about two minutes of fast, skillful wrestling, McDanie took advantage of an opening to pin his man. Basile Gets Advantage In the lZS-pound bout Basile took an early time advantage only to have Brands of North Central equal before the ten minute period elapsed. The match then went into ovortime with both contestants thoroughly tired out. In the first period Brands their much? but inferior took a time advantage which he held until near the end of the second period when, with only 30 seconds to go, Basile reversed tables and pinned his man. Dunne also scored for Armour, again with characteristic case, by nonchalantly riding his man to pile up a 7% minute time advantage.2 Cardinals Win in Heavies North Central scored their only three points in the heavyweight divi‘ sion when Adle, Naperville coach and star, outpointcd McIntyre after two overtime periods.

Playing with confidence and coordi- nation, a brilliant Armour quintet de- feated the Michigan State Normal basketball team of Ypsilanti, 31-22, at the Armory Friday afternoon. Except for a few minutes of opening play,l the Techawks maintained a lead over! opponents l throughout the tilt. Heilce ls Pivot Man The first half featured a great deal of defense play by both teams. Merz gave the Techmcn every tip-off and their superior height reclaimed most of the rebounds, thus downing every chance for follow-up shots by the Teachers. Captain Heike played pivot man and fed beautifully to Merz and O’Brien, who broke through the Michigan defense to execute several neat shots. A good deal of passing and faking failed to show on the score board and the first period closed with an Armour advantage oi? 10—7. Technwlcs Aggressive As the second half opened, Armour staged a strong aggressive attack, netting baskets by Skukes, O’Brien, O’Connell and Mew. Excellent drib, hlim: by O’Connell pierced the Teach- crs‘ defense more than once to give Page Three i cents a line.

A new sport has blossomed forth on the Arv mour campus. It’s bowling, and it’s the senior mechs who are the fa- thers, perpetrators, and proponents of the idea. So far, twenty men have turned out, and the game is rapidly growing in popularity. in addition to a tourney among themselves, the mechs, always on the offensive, have issued a general chalenge to other school groups. The mech profs, anxious to test the mettle of their younger colleagues, have accepted. in the near future, we’ll see Danny Roesch, Phil I—Iuntly, Jimmy Peebles, “Brother” Winston, and Chuck Swincl'ord, plus “(Butchm Blankenship, out there hurling the pill down the runway.

Juniors Capture interclass Track i Title for rthird Consecutive Yeari Nosing out the sophomores in the final event, the class of '38 captured the interclass track title for the third consecutive year last Wednesday at the University of Chicago fieldhouse by scoring 52 points. The meet was more two-sided than fourvsided, the sophomores coming in a Close sec- and with 49 points and the seniors and freshmen trailing with ten and three, respectively. Rothenberg of the sophomores led the individual scoring- with twelve points, while ogge, also of ’39, was second with nine. Juniors Sweep GO-Yard Dash The juniors started off to an early lead by taking the first three places in the 60 yard dash. Bingham, who won the event, came through in great style, easily outstepping the field to win with a time of 6.8 seconds. Fin— negan, a sophomore, had little trouble in winning the mile run when he came home with plenty to spare. In the high hurdles, the sophs added eight more points to their score when Rothenberg ramped in with an easy first. This last event dissipated the juniors’ lead, the sophs going out in front where they managed to stay until they were overhauled in the last event. Rogge Collapses After 440 In the 440 yard run, Rogge of ’39, after running a furious first lap, had to extend himself to maintain his and thus have not even had this man— lead, and collapsed after passing the ner of introduction to the sports ae— finish line. Another sophomore, tivities of Armour. Consequently, the Ryan, won the 880, but he also had only way they may participate in our to extend himself, but this time to sports is through intramural and in. stave OFF the threat of Deuter. The terclass activities. two ran almost side by side for the, last sixty yards, Ryan just managing to pull ahead at the finish. The only first place that was taken by anybody other than a junior or sophomore was that of Dannis’ clean victory in the gruelling two mile run. Sophs Go Into 49—47 Lead A real monopoly was had by the middle classmen in the field events, with the sophomores taking 17 of the points and the juniors the other 16. Simeon, a junior, topped the field in the high jump with a leap of 5 feet 7 inches, while Dixon, 2. sopho— more, took the pole vault, and Van- dekieft, another sophomore and a new all around addition to the Tech track team, captured the shot put with a heave of 38 feet 4 inches. Although the score was 49 to 47 against them up to the last event, the juniors had little trouble in win- ning the half-mile relay, which gave them the meet. SUMMARIES on yd. dash—Won by inzham (Jr).
