In fact he was generous enough to give them six scattered hits and a run while his teammates were romping over Michigan Teachers to the tune of 5 to 1 in the season’s final. And what a season! Just to spoil their fun Joe let the Teachers put a men on first and then had them hit three times into fast double plays, Wagner to Dunne to Green. Tech made eight hits, including Tom Green's 345 foot circuit wallop over the left field fence in the last of the seventh. Panache. Score: on Double Tech started things rolling in the first inning when Pacocha walked after Logullo flied out. Wagner soaked it on the nose, but the center fielder pulled it down next to the fence. Seidenberg looked over a couple of pitches and decided to give the third one a ride into left. He did. On his long double to left, Paeoeha scored. It looked as though the Teachers meant business in the first of the sec- ond when 'l‘odt walked and the next man was hit with a pitched ball. How’ ever two fly balls and a fielder’s choice by Wagner, trapping Todt be- tween third and home, ended the threat. Tech Gets First Double Play Armour scored again in her half of the second on an arching single to right center by Showchuk, a sacri- fice by Dunne and an error on the short stop. The Techowks executed their first double play in the third when Pacocha caromed Weaver’s liner to Dunne who tossed to Wagner who then whipped it to Green at first to beat out Weaver with three feet to spare. Wagner singled for Tech in the home third but was nipped steal- ing. Scriptor opened the fourth with a single to left, but Ross fanned. Good hit a roller to Wagner who scooped it up, tossed to Dunne on second who turned and made a ‘per- feet throw to Green to retire the side on a second fast double play. Ypsilanti Crosses Plate Dunne singled to center with two down in the last of the fourth, but Green lifted to the short stop. Tech made a lone hit for the fourth straight inning, on Logullo’s single in the fifth, but Wagner bit on an in- side ball and popped to short after Pacoeho sacrificed. The Normal school men made their lone tally in the sixth on a double error and a single. Tech tallied in her half of the sev- enth on Green’s long homer. Tom connected with a curve coming down the middle and really put some wood behind the ball. The left field fence measures 345 feet from home plate, and the ball cleared the pickets by six feet, bouncing onto the wonder lawn in front of the flats. Teachers’ Rally Stopped Russell started the Ypsilanti eighth with a clean single between Wagner and Gebel. The next man flied out, but Scripter banged another single to left. With strategic intentions a pinch hitter ran the count to three and two and then fouled two more while the runners itched to be dash— ing for home. On the next pitch he made the mistake of grounding,- to Dunne. The some combination clicked and the inning ended with a snappy double play from Dunne to Wagner to Green. Just to cinch matters Seidenberg walked with two away in the home eighth and galloped to third on Kruse’s single to left. Kruse stole second standing up and scored be— hind Seidenberg on Shewchuk's single. North Show“; Game Called in Eighth Lake Forest (2) Armour (2) AB. R. H. Lnulnn, If. 4 I) 0 AB. R. H.

The game was called in the last of the eighth after a heavy shower made the diamond too muddy for play. From the first pitch, the game was played very closely and promised to be anybody’s ball game until the finish. Rouse Scores for Lake Forest The Lake Forest ballmen opened up the first with a trio of singles which scored Rouse, placing the Northshore line momentarily in the lead. Armour was held scoreless un» til the last of the second when a pair of. singles by Scidenberg and Kruse put two men on. Shcwchuk filled the bags when he beat out o. beauti- ful bunt. A triple steal on which Sci. denberg stole home evened the score. Lake Forest scored their second run in the fourth when Roberts came home on an error after he had singled in right field. Score Tied in Sixth The Armour ballmen scored their second tally in the sixth. Logollo reached first on on error and Dunne grounded out. With Wagner at but, Logullo stole home on a had pitch by Maimen. From here on both teams played a very tight game until inter— ruptcd in the last of the eighth. At this point a heavy shower soaked the already wet diamond which necessiw lsted the dismissal of play. Rachel Illicit Lose Second to Loyola In their second meeting of the present season, Armour lost a close decision to the Loyola tennis team by the count of 4-3, on last Tuesday. This made the second loss, both of which were to Loyola, in the current season. Natinehek and Wagner Win The singles play saw Natinchek and Wagner triumph, while Swanson, Boehme, and Kuhik lost hard fought matches. The doubles resulted in a win and a loss with Kubik and Swanson teamed to avenge their de- feats in the singles. Natinehek and Boehme dropped a well played 6-4, 6-4 match. Swanson was upset by Beresky of Loyola in the singles, after a see- saw match. It took a 9-7 count to take the first set from him. The sec- ond set resulted in a 6-1 loss; fol- lowing which Natinchek took up the fight to trim DuBay 7-5, 6-3. Swai- ford, of Loyola, took Boehmc in straight sets 6-3, 6-4, which does not mean that it was easy for DuBay. It was an evenly balanced, well play— ed match. Hruhy Takes Kubik After running the count to 8-6 in the first set Kubik lost to Hruby of; Loyola in the fourth singles match. The second set also went to Loyola with a. 6-3 count. In the final sin- gles match Wagner defeated Sierks, his opponent from Loyola, after los- ing the first set 4-6. After this first set Wagner settled down to take Sierks 6-4, 6-1 in the next two sets. Tennis Squad Boasts Four Wins Gut of Six With two expectant victories this week, the tennis team will finish this season with a very excellent record. The team, led by Captain Swanson, has as its standing at the present time four wins against two losses and one tie. Armour has beaten North Cen~ tral twice, 6-1, and 4-3; Illinois Wes~ leyan 6.0; George Williams 6—1; and lost to Loyola twice 6—1, and last week in a close match 4-3, The tie came at Wheaton’s home grounds and it is expected that Armour will win on its own courts.

Summary Shows Record Oil: Ten Wino Against Three Losses Season Finished With Eight Straight Wino Winning ten out of their fourteen season battles, Armour’s title holders wound up their best season in sev- eral years last Friday afternoon. Coach Kraift led the diamondeers through a commendable record of ten wins, three early losses, and a tie left on the hooks due to a called game. The Northern Illinois Conference found the Techawks at the head of the list with a duo of wins over Elm~ hurst, North Central, and Wheuton. The initial games with the University of Chicago accounted for two of the blemishes on the nest record. After DeKalb’s win over Armour, there were eight straight wins for the team. Technwks Luce Openers With only a week's practice under their belts, the Technwks took on a well warmed up University of Chi— cago squad to lose the season‘s open— er 4-1. It was pitcher Pacoeha's first bit of hurling for Tech, and he held the Maroons to five hits while his teammates pounded for three. Kruse drove in Logullo for the lone Tech tally. The second game with Chicago was a heart breaking 2-1 defeat. Kruse allowed only three hits, while Armour was pounding Amundsen for six, but unfortunately two of the Maroons hit successively after Bernard had reached first on an error, and scored the two runs. DeKalb Falls 8-4 Again on the road, Armour stepped up to cinch the number one victory by taking DeKalb, 8-4. Wagner and Shewchuk each hit three times out of Techs eleven cracks. Kruse had just one bad inning, the eighth, when DeKalb rallied for their four runs. Kruse was spectacular in Tech’s first home game and win over Elm. hurst. He fanned fourteen Elmhurst batters to credit Scidenberg~ with more than half the outs, and then crossed the plate three times for top honors in the 11-5 score. Pacocha and Dunne led the attack with three hits each. DcKalb dealt the third and final defeat to the Krafft boys. The lead oscillated several times during the game and then came to rest at 6—6 before the ninth. A triple by Der- range over third base led to the ninth inning score WhlL‘h Armour was un- able to even up. Dunne wallopcd the ball over the fur center-field corner for the first homer of the year as North Central fell 5—3. lt was a scrappy game with a few tusslcs on the bases, which made it a more enjoyable Victory over the rivals. The usual snappy infield checked a short Cardinal ral- ly in the ninth. Green Gets Homer Green plastered the ball for a home run as Armour won its second North Central contest, 7-2. The eight hits were well spread over the batting list, Seidcnberg managing to cop two, while the Tee-hawks held the Car- dinal’s four hits to only two tallies. The Northern Illinois Conference title was cinched when Wheaten fell 7—4 before the powerful Tech nine. It was the fifth conference win, enough to sew up the title before all the rest of the wins made it com- plete. Ypsilanti proved big meat for the visiting chhawks. A collection of thirteen hits drove three pitchers off the mound and yielded a 16-5 victory. Pacocha held the Michigan squad to six hits. Wheaten slaughtered 19~0 A 19-0 shut—out over Wheaten was the biggest slaughter of the year. Pa~ cocha held the Wheaton ministers to four safeties, while the Techawks piled up runs. Kruse hit the jack pot when he faced loaded bases and cracked a long homer into thirty-third street. This occurred in the big fourth inn-- ing when the bases were loaded for more than six times and ten runs came in during the spree. Lake Forest succumbed for anoth- er shutout, 5'0, on the following day. Kruse allowed only three hits, which his teammates safely handled, while Tech came through with six. The re~ turn game was a close battle for seven innings, followed by a down- pour of rain and leaving the records at 2-2. Kruse wielded nine strike- outs in the seven innings of play. Armour won the final battle when Ypsilanti resisted for some time at 2—1, before letting Tech come through with three final scores. Green clout- ed his second homer just over the left field fence, and in this respect led other hitters. If" R. A. B. Lust Friday’s baseball game with Ypsilanti was one of the best games we’ve witnessed in a long time, and those who missed it sure missed a lot of baseball. ll‘ 1‘ Especially outstanding was the de— fensive job turned in by the Tech squad. Each of the three double plays executed would have done jus» tice to any league, and the pitching; of Pacochn in the pinches made the Ypsilanti coach wish he was on the other side. Twice he struck out the last two men when runners were in scoring positions, and when he didn’t put them down by the strike out route, they popped or sent easy roll- ers to the infield. Il‘ iii 31' Looking over the averages, we find that the Tech pitching staff of Krusc and Pacocha did u lot more for the team than pitch. Both of them have bolstered up the hitting department with their hats, each having top rankv ing nveruges. 1% til VI Our final tally on the “Bio: Four" shows pitcher .‘loe Pucochn taking the lead with his .3385. Wagner, who has spent most of his time at the top in hitting, slipped a little during the past week, dropping from over four hun- dred, where he has been during most of the season, to .377. In third place is another pitcher, Willie Kruse, who finished up with .358, while in fourth is Shewchuk who with four hits dur— ing the past week, brought his aver. age to .333 m 41 ‘li Ed Wagner finally broke his streak of hit per game average when he for- get to get a safe bingo against Lake Forest last Wednesday. Previous to this he had hit safely in every game but the season’s opener, a total of ten. #1 lb >ll 1 Graduation is treating our teams with great respect this year, prac- tically leaving them intact. In track Dennis and Heike are the only retir- ing members, while in baseball only three more are passing on. Co-cap- tains Logullo and Bartusek and Show- chuk are the men. Tennis also will be little affected, but the golf team is going to lose Captain Shanahnn, Shukes and Davidson, all of whom will he missed because of their fine work. However, despite the fact that this loss is small in numbers, it will be felt in quality since each has done a fine job in his place. W' Y; $ The softball tournament has finally reached its final stages with but four teams left to fight it out this week. Yesterday at 12:30 the Fresh Meteors were scheduled to meet the senior chems, while the other game between the junior mechs and junior electri- cals has not had its time decided upon. fill it ll: Our golfers came through with a nice win last week when they wal- lopcd the squad from St. Victor’s Col- leve 171/2 to 1/2. Playing a return match with Wayne next Saturday they will put a good season behind them. In their last encounter with the latter they lost 11-7, but we hope they sink a few of those forty footers and finish off the season the correct way. 1: ll? ill With a match on yesterday with Wheaten and a final one today with George Williams the tennis squad will also put behind them a fairly suc- cessful season. 1.: * 19' We’d like to other our congrats to all those athletes who received their awards at the assembly last Friday.

Page Three fielitball Tourney is in Final ‘Weelt F our Teams Left to Vie for Title Frouli Bounce Soph Chemo Opening up last week’s softball play, the fros'n meteors overwhelmed the soph chems to the score of 18 to i). This defect eliminated the sophs from the contest and placed the fresh in the quarter-finals. Fahey opened up the first inning with a single which was followed by a walk and a trio of singles which tallied for four runs. With the bags loaded the sophs scored one in the first when a single to right drove in Jufl‘cc. The frosh raised their tally to ten runs in the second when six runs crossed the plate. Not to be outdone, the soph retaliated with seven runs in the second, three of which come in on Rothenhcrg’s triple to left. The fresh scored six more in the sixth and two in the seventh to cons plclo their tally of eighteen runs. The sophs were held scoreless from the second inning until the last of the seventh. With two outs, Roth— enberg drove a beautiful homer over the left field fence [or the sophs ninth run. .llunior Meclm Win 3-2 in a close hard fought game last Wednesday the junior mechanicals handed the senior civils their first defeat of the season 3 to 2. During the entire game there were but few hits, the juniors getting most of their runs on errors. The civils failed to push in runner post second hose for six innings, but in the seventh they loaded the bases with only one out. Two of the men reached home, but with a man on third, the batter hit a fast ball to Roche who made a beautiful peg to the plate where Simeon caught the runner. The next man up flied out to end the game, leaving the score at 3—2. Sr. Chemo Eliminate Soph Elects In the first of last Friday‘s games the senior chems advanced at the ex- pense of the soph electricals whom they outhit 17 to 12. Both teams were in the hitting mood and scores were made in practically every inn» ine; however, despite the free hit- ting the game remained a close con— test until the sixth inning, when the chorus got themselves a permanent five run lead. To start the game off the chems crossed the plate five times, but the sophs evened matters up by also mak— ing five in their half. For the second time the chorus took the lead, but again a retaliation on the part of the sophs evened things up. Finally in the sixth and seventh innings, the chems added the telling seven runs to their score, since the electricals could only push across two in the re- maining brackets, leaving the final tally at 17-12. Jr. Elects Win Fifth .. Playing in the semifinals last Fri~ (lay the junior clectricals won their fifth in a row when they handed the senior civils their walking papers out of the contest. On twelve hits the juniors scored seven runs, while the seniors had to be content with only five hits and four runs. Taking first bats the juicers scor— ed a run after Coulins got on first on Kendall’s error and ran around to home on Palko's hil. The civils retaliated by going down one-two- thrce, but scored two runs in the second, another in the third, and one in the fifth. The juniors, Com- ing back after a scoreless second inn- ing, went into the lead again in the third by knocking hits all round the field and scoring three runs, with two more men on base when the lost out was made. ' Then after passing up the fourth with one run and the fifth with noth— ing- at all, they added another tally when Jocko anelton knocked the {ball over the left field fence for his only hit of the game.
