Page Six ARMOUR TECH NEWS Tuesday, january 18, 19389 Wright Proposes Radical Changes in Small Housing Voices Opinion in Issue of "Architectural Forum ’ The small, low—cost house problem can be solved only when America realizes that “a small house on a side street might have charm if it didn’t ape the big house on the ave— nue," Frank Lloyd Wright, founder of the modem movement in architec- ture, declares today in the January issue of the Architectural Forum which was entirely planned, written and edited by him. “To give the little family the bene- fit of industrial advantages of the era in which they live, something else must be done for them than to plant another little. imitation of a man- sion," Mr. Wright states in explain- ing that a charming four-room dwell— ing does not need a basement, a vis- ible roof, radiators, light fixtures, painting, interior trim, plastering, gutters, down-spouts or a garage. Designs Madison Home He already has built a house in— corporating these innovations in de- sign for a Madison, Wisconsin family at a cost of $5,500, including $450 as the architect‘s fee, Mr. Wright em— phasizes in Architectural Forum. By rtakingrwadvantage of mass production methods, he asserts, the cost probably could be brought down as low as $3,500. “There should be no complicated roofs. Visible roofs are expensive. They are unnecessary now. “We needrno radiators or light fix- tures. We will heat the house the Roman way-that is to say—in or be- neath the floors, and make the wiring system itself be the light fixtures, throwing light upon the ceiling. Light will thus be indirect except for a few outlets for floor lamps. Basement Unnecessary “Tho old~faahioned basement, ex’ cept for a fuel and heater space, was always a aplague spot. A steam— warmed concrete mot four inches thick laid directly on the ground over gravel filling, the walls set upon that, is better. “No painting at all. Wood best preserves itself. Only the floor need be waxed. . “Interior ‘trim’ is no longer neces- sary. “No plastering in the building, no gutters, no down-spouts. “A garage is no longer necessary as cars are made. A carport will do, with liberal overhead shelter and walls on two sides.” Mr. Wright points out that only five materials were used to construct the new type of low~cost house: wood, brick, cement, paper and glass. The house has a large living room, adja— cent cooking and dining space, two bedrooms and a bath. "In our country the first obstacles to any real solution of the moderate cost house problem is the fact that our people do not really know how to live, imagining their idlosyncracies to be their ‘taste,’ their prejudices to their predilections and their ignor- ance to be virtue where new beauty of living is concerned. Major Architectural Problem “The house of moderate cost is not only America's major architectural problem, but the problem most diffi- cult for her major architects. This needed house of moderate cost must sometime find reality, but where is a better thing to come from while gov- ernment housing itself is only per- petrating their old stupidities? “I do not believe the needed house can come from current education, from big business, or by way of smart advertising experts. I do not think it will be a matter of expert sales- manship at all unless common sense has dropped to that level in America. It is, first, common sense that may take us along the road to the better thing. “It is necessary to get rid of all un- necessary materials in construction, necessary to use the mill to good ad- vantage, necessary to eliminate, so far as possible, field labor which is al- ways expensive It is necessary to consolidate and simplify the three ap- purtenance systems,'heatingiiliighting . . vs, a...“ and sanitationi" wk , (rogers Warren 44-28 by North illinois Teachers Led by Price, a freshman, garner- ing 16 points, the Northern Illinois State Teacher’s basketball squad rampaged over the visiting Techawk cagers last Thursday with a 44-28 score. Although injured and taken out during the first half, he returned for eleven points in the last seven minutes. The tilt, witnessed by a packed house of DeKalb citizens, was evenly matched during the first half, each squad having its own rally in turn. O’Brien made a spectacular showing or Armour with his opening hook shots, while Scherer warmed up on longs in the second half to score high for Tech. Armour Gains Short Lead After Price had opened his cum- paign with one short bucket, O'Brien faded through the DeKalb guards for his first hook shot. Scherer’s free throw and O’Brion’s next shot gave the Techawks a momentary lead. Price tied it up unassisted and Davis, fleet dorky o] the opposition, took four of his eleven points under the basket. 0. Peterson edged the local five’s tally to 11 before Armour began to score again. Swanson start- ed with a free shot, the first of his live out of six shots, Schcrcr made good a sleeper, and after Little’s charity toss, O’Brien penetrated the guards for another wonder shot. After a free throw by Peterson, Schcrer sank another sleeper, and Swanson and O’Brien took charity points for Tech's second and final lead, 14—13. Turhune, DoKalb star of last year, finished up the half with three long shots, Swanson sinking another free, and Wagner bringing it up to 17-19 with a long sink. DcKalb Rallies to 28-17 The Teachers rallied for nine quick points at the start of the sec— and period, and threw the Techawks back, 28-17. Henriksen broke the ice for Tech with one, and O’Connell fol- lowed with two more points. Scherer worked in two longs while Swanson helped close the score to 25-31. Price mentored the game at this point and began his consistent, al— though not spectacular, scoring. I-Ie nevertheless took command of the ball whenever it worked in under the home not. Three free throws were all that Tech could master as the Teach- er five continued to rule the globe in the home territory. Tech was unfortunate to hit the DeKalb team when the latter was es— pecially warm on baskets. Turhune, who had not been shooting well in past games, opened for the first time to sink his five field goals on his first five attempts.

Those latent sportsmen who serve as public menaces number one and tear up the city greens in the summer, come out of hibernation before ground hog’s day this year. What’s more, they won’t see their shadows; they’ll be in the Armour gym. A net which deadens the drives and pulls in the slices has been con- structed for the team, professors, and students who care to use it. It is 20 feet deep, 10 wide, and 9 high. The apparatus has been made collapsible, not to interfere with other features in the Armour gym. The net was constructed by a car- penter during the holidays, super- vised and aided by Coach Sammy Bibb and Manager Jim Sheehan of the golf team. It will be used by the squad for their pre—golf—weather con— ditioning. lad-apt thevnet for lessons iii-golf.

Five of the Tech wins were falls, and one was taken on time ad— vantage. Till, 118 pound Tech freshman, started things ofi by pinning his op- ponent in the short time of one min— ute fifty seconds. The fall followed an immediate 'timc advantage for Till and was completed on a reverse nel- son and a crotch hold. McDaniel, working hard, wrestled at 126 pounds, and after a long workout which went the full eight minutes, he won on a time advantage of three minutes and thirty-five seconds. Captain Dunne, wrestling with more than usual confidence, had an advantage on his Appleton opponent in five seconds. Jim missed his first key lock, but had a second one in a few seconds which Pershbackcr PAUL WHITMAN Dams TAYLOR PAUL DOUGLAS 4 LAWRENCE TIBBETT ANDRE KOSTELANETZ couldn’t loose, the fall taking two minutes, nineteen seconds. Hanna and Allen, wrestling without a great deal of experience, tumbled and tossed during which Hanna subjected Allen to stretcher, grapevine and figure four holds. A reverse nelson ended the bout with a fall for Hanna in five minutes and ten seconds. Nigrelli met a strong 155 pound opponent in Lawrence’s Islcy. Taking the first advantage Nig'relli lost it on a head lock from which he wriggled, but couldn’t loosen a wrist lock and surrendered a hard match for the vis- itors’ only win. Maxout, at 165 pounds, just missed pinning O’Ton- hell on a cradle bold, but a reverse nelson felled the Wisconsin visitor in only two minutes twenty seconds. Tullgren and Gerhlock, in the 175 pound class, started their match at a furious pace, but Tullgren applied the old pressure broke, a head hold and a foot lock, and ended the match and meet with a beautiful stretcher grip in the short time of three min~ utes and twenty-five seconds. Tenkmen Include Two Trips in ’38 Schedule Armour’s tank season opened offi- cially last Friday night out at the Loyola pool, where the Techawk swimmers begun a heavy week-end of three trips. Saturday night they were to race the North Central tank- men at Napervillc, and yesterday their third foe, at South Side Junior’s home aquarium. Judging from their newly released schedule, the. Techawk tankstcrs will travel a bit this season. They have an Indiana and a Wisconsin town booked, with an additional meet on each trip in the offing. The start of next semester will see the swimmers invading Indiana for a meet with De Pauw, February 5. They stage the Armour interclass meet on the 16th and then lay in wait— ing for the K.Y.F. squad from Ken- osha on February 18. After meets with South Side and at Wright, Armour returns to Bartlett to meet De Pnuw on March 11, and Loyola on the 14th. They move in to Kcnotha for their final meet with the K.YF‘. squad on March 18. money can buy. very cigarette features something . ., .. Meets with Indianapolis Athletic Club and¢Kenyon are tentative and may be included in the respective trips to Indiana and Wisconsin. Ray Dodge, high point man of last year, will captain the squad from his post in the 221) yard free. Vic Sveg~ dis, the flying breast stroker, is also back in his lane again, and will con»- tinue to gather his customary five points. Last year he was outrnced only once in the breast event, and was second high for Armour by two points. Bob Winblad has turned over to swim the backstroke, due to a vacancy there, and judging from the Loyola meet, will do well there for Tech.
