Bob Mcrz, who has been on the squad throughout his school career, has played regular center position for three full sea- sons. Bob‘s six feet four inches at the tip off has been 'the vital point in winning a number of Tech tilts. Chuck Shukeo has made an excellent record at forward position, dropping 28 buckets and one fro toss, for fourth on the high point men list, besides leading a number of spirited rallies. Jack O’Connell Men Recommended for Letters At present the recommendations for letter awards, major and minor, are in the hands of the Athletic Commission, and their announce- ment will be made n the near fu- turc. The Techawks scored a total of 465 points against 487 for their opponents, but in spite of the 22 point difference they came out with a slight edge of eight wins against seven losses. Swanson, Wag’ncr, Henriksen, Musso, Grabicka, Janicek, Kubicka, Brown and Sheehan, are a few of the promising men who will be led by co-captains O’Brien and O’Con- nell, coached by Grant Steng'er and managed by F. Widell. Gene Heike Armour Killers Lose to Wheaten Last week the Armour Tech rifle team lost to Wheaten by the score of 1254 to 1225. The match, fired in three positions, prone, kneeling, and standing, was held at Wheaton on their well designed range. The team has been handicapped all sea- son by owning only two rifles for the use of ten men, and this becomes very marked at shoulder—to—shoulder matches, where there is insufficient time to resight the gun for each in- dividual. Some of the team’s shat- tered nerves were blamed on the way “Butch” Miller, the demon driver, drove through the fog on the way to Wheaten. The return match has been arranged to be held at 100 yards at Fort Sheridan on Saturday, March 2'7.

Dunbar took high honors with eleven points, and Faust tied Rothenberg for second with ten points. Dunbar opened the meet by win- ning the 60 yard dash in six and seven-tenths seconds, followed closely by Neuert and Rothcnberg. Faust took his first five points by winning the mile being closely tagged by Opila, a freshman, who came in a second later. Ryan ran a speedy 440, to come in ahead of two Chicago men and Dcuter. In the shot put event Vandekieft heaved the pill over forty feet to win over Simeon and Dunbar respectively, both of the lat- ter making tosses around thirty feet. Rothenberg was first to break through the tape in the 70 yard high hurdle event, beating out Parker and Dixon. Faust came in first in another long run, the two mile event, winning over Dennis by about twenty yards. Dcuter took the 880 yard event, com- ins,r in ahead of Opila by fourteen sec‘ onds. Dunbar snatched the low hurdle even in 8.7 seconds, with a small half foot margin over Rothenberg. Neuert was third by about ten feet. Dixon and Braun tied in the pole vault by crossing the bar at ten feet. Simeon and Vandekieft tied for first in the high jump, both of them sailing over the bar at five feet seven.

Fresh Cagers Hamel Loyola 29-24 Defeat After trampling over the North Central fresh 3. week ago last Sat. urday, the Armour Tech fresh quin— tet added another scalp to their string they de- feated a tough Loyola freshman squad by a score of 29-24 at Loyola. The Tech men were handicapped of victories when at the outset of the game when Budd Kubicka, regular center, hurt his ankle in the first few sec- onds of play. Armour, however, drew first blood on a long shot by Scherer and a. free throw by Norkus. Scherer duplicated his first shot with another which touched neither backboard or rim. The Loy- ola squad promptly awake and jump- ed into the lead on a series of has- kets. The Armourites were slightly bewildered at this time by an uncon- ventional style of zone defense. As the half ended, Armour was on the tail end of a 12-10 score. During the second half, the flush broke through time and again to score on their “pet” plays, which they also used to advantage against North Central last week. A scoring spree staged by Norkus, Weber and Schaer put the game “in the bag.” Sherer and Gerwig also did some nice ball handling in their parts as guards. On Tuesday of this week, the fresh will play Fox Secretarial College at 62nd and Normal, in a return en— gagement. To date the freshmen have defeated North Central and any time this week to meet the mem— Loyola, losing to Fox, De Paul, and hers and to see the range.

ARMOUR TECH NEWS Tech Grapplers Bow to Wheaten Inspired by a wildly cheering: crowd of about 800 students, Wheaton mat- mcn downed the Tech grapplers by a score of 31-3 on Wednesday, Feb. 24, in the Wheaten gym. Coach Weiss- man attributes the overwhelming de- feat to the inspiration afforded the Wheaton men by the rooting. In a previous match this year Armour came out on the long end of the score. Popper starred for Armour by pre- venting: a shut out with the three points he scored by winning on time. Dunne Loses to Hess Dunne’s bout in the 135 pound class was a complete upset since Jim had lost only one bout previously. He had downed his man quickly and seemed to be having the upper hand, but a wrist lock put him into trouble sev- eral times. After over nine minutes of fast wrestling Hess took advan~ cage of an opening and pinned Dunne. Popper, wrestling at 155 lbs., ex- hibited some of the temperament usually associated with red hair, and wrestled fiercely for almost ten min- utes before he could get his man into position for a pin. Undue care by the referee saved the man from being pinned as the bell rang for the end of the time period. The bout went to Popper with a two minute time ad— vantage. Merritt Wins at 165 Captain Kreml sulfered his first de‘ feat of the season at the hands of la a recent independent survey, an over- whelming majority of lawyers, doctors, lecturers, scientists, etc, who said they smoked cigarettes, ex-v pressed their personal preference for alight smoke. Senator Reynolds” statement verifies the Wis-v done of this preference and so do leading artists of radio, stage, screen and opera, whose voices are their fortunes, and who choose buckles, a light a smoke. You, too, can have the throat protection of Luckies—a light smoke, free of certain harsh irritants removed by the exclusive process “it’s Toasted’k buckles are gentle on your throat. The date of the Armour Tech Re— lays has been set for Saturday eve— ning, March 20. Since this is the out- standing sporting' event at Armour, everybody should make it a point to set aside this date now, and to attend. It will be a well worth while event to witness, since it will bring together many outstanding: track men of the middle west. Everything is free too, to Armour students, since student passes will as usual be honored at the gate. ll: ti? :1: A good example of what effect a big crowd has on a team was shown at the Armour-Wheaten wrestling matches, at the latter-’s gym in When.- ton last Wednesday. The meet was Merritt, 165 pound Little Nineteen champ. Kreml held his own for the first part of his bout but got into trouble later and was barely able to save himself from being pinned four times in close succession. He finally lost on time. Tullgren wrestled a beautiful bout in spite of a fractured cartilage in the collar bone, sustained near the middle of the match. The injury is likely to keep him out of the line-up for the remainder of the season, and since Ralph was a consistant point winner, the loss will be keenly felt. won easily by the home squad, who were cheered on by some three hun- dred iooters. In their previous en- counter with the Tech team, the thatonitcs had been defeated. .1: 2 xx: We hope that the injury Ralph Tullgren sustained in the Wheuton meet is not serious. Ralph has turned in some fine performances this sea- son, since he began wrestling in his own weight class, and will he missed by the team if he is out the remain- der of the season. all ll: 'li Having finished competition in the Golden Gloves tournament, the boxing squad is preparing to go to work on collegiate 'l'ocs. Sometime this week they travel out to Culver to take on the lutter’s team. a 4: wk Although a bit belated we should like to mention that the swimming squad turned in one of its most in— teresting victories against Loyola. at the lottcr’s pool on Monday, March 22. It was one of those meets that was always in the balance, not being won until the final event was run oil. The Tech squad came through in the relay final to nose out their oppon- ents 40 to 35. ll! ‘44 11‘- Although no definite date has been set for the start of baseball practice, we expect any day now to see the lads up in the gym getting: their old arms loosened up. Judging,r from the large number that showed up for the first meeting, coach Krafl’t should have lit- tle trouble in the way of batteries for the coming season. all. AGAINST lRRITATlON—AGA NST (DOUGH Page Five Meeting of Fencers To Be On Thursday Next Thursday afternoon, the Ar— mour fencing club will hold a business meeting to discuss several problems which have been bothering them for quite some time. The meeting will be held in D-Mis- sion, and one of the problems that will be up for discussion will be that of maintenance of equipment that has already been secured for the use of club members. Also, the possibility of raising; money in some way or other so that new equipment may be added to the club’s stores will be delved into. At the present time mem- bership has reached twenty-two, but the club is still anxious to have any new members who are interested in fencing.
