The annual fall league ball tilt be— tween the four classes opens tomor- row afternoon when the seniors take on the juniors for a five inning con- test. Thursday at four-thirty the undei‘classmen will have it out on 0p;- den Field, and Friday, weather per- mitting, the playoff for the school championship will be stagEd. Baseball letterinen in the three up- . per classes are organizing their class- I mates into teams, but the fresh, lack- I ing organization will be assisted in‘ the management of both their prac. ticc and play—off sessions by Wagner: and Seidenberg, senior baseball let—i termen. i 1 I l i l l I Froeh Urged To Report In order that the contest between the upperclassmen be a wellvmatched one, all freshmen with any experience, ability or aspirations have been urged to support their class by renortingl to Ogden Field for their practice ses— ] sion at 3:30 today. Equipment, in-‘ cluding baseballs, bats and catcher’sg paraphernalia will be supplied by‘1 the athletic department, but all pitch- l ers, infielders and outfielders will sup- 1, ply their own gloves and shoes. \ The present seniors were victors in ‘ last year’s tourney as well as runner- up the year before, and aided by, major lettcrmcn Wagner, Dunne,l Gehcl, Green, and Scidcnbcrg as well I, as minor lettermen Roche, Shepp- strom, and Rodkin, Lloyds are quotv‘ ing them as outstanding: favorites.

This doesn’t let former teamsters out, however, as plans and practice sea. =ions will be discussed and arranged for the coming season. In the face of a tough scheule the Tech swimmers were semi-successful in the past season.

It seems that everybody is or has been shooting in the low 80’s or thereabouts. a: =i< v'y ‘Jt Although a little early, we thought that we’d mention the fact that the touchball tourney will get under way as soon as possible after baseball is completed. a If something isn’t done soon about the cross-country situaion it looks as if this sport, which was inaugurated last year, will be a thing of the past.

It seems that one brand new Spaulding league ball was lifted from the park to see more ex- tensive service in some pickaninny sandlot. Mgr. Chelgren stated that the present weekly loss rate would be reduced to a minimum during the tournament this week, even if blood- hounds of necessity be employed. >1: ’l‘ * Tech, like other colleges, has a number of respected customs, and ac~ cording to Institute tradition all high school and prep school monograms are voluntarily removed from sweat- ers by new men on entering Armou Tech. i Net Tourney Begins Under New System 1 With approximately fifty candi- 1 dates competing for the school cham- l Ipionship or a berth on the tennisl 1 team, the annual fall tennis tourneyg opened yesterday afternoon. I Although the tournament has start~ l ed, anyone wishing to enter, who has I‘ not done so as yet, may still do sol l by seeing manager Schlax as soon as 1 possible. i, V, This year’s tourney has been an, Iranged as far as possible to givel ‘every player a fair chance. Due to . the list of qualifications sent in with, each entry, men have been seeded inl ,places which seemed best suited for " them. Besides the advantage of hav— l ing‘ a seeded tournament, a still fut-w thcr subdivision has been made for the contestants by having petition in ‘ two classes, that of freshmen and up- i 1m . As it has been in the past, all let- termen will be prohibited. To speed up the tourney matches may be p1ay~ ed on any convenient courts, depend- inrr on the choice of the two players. However, this latter does not apply to the last two matches which must he played on the home courts. I May’s lfib Leads Gull Tournament With one of the largest turnouts that the golf tournament has seen in several years the first round of medal play was run oil" at Evergreen Golf Club last Saturday. Leading the pack over the 36 holes of scheduled play was Ritchey May who turned in duplicate rounds of 83, 83—-—166, and Bob Marshall. The latter shot the best 18 of the day with his opening 82, and then came back in the afternoon with an 87. Don Mackey with his 84, 88—172 was also well up as was G. Hamilton who turned in a 92, 93—185. l Several others were well up in the 1running, with a chance to play in lthe final round of match play for the gold medal which will probably be run off next Saturday. In this class are Gilbert and Newman, with 83 and 89 respectively, each stand— inf,r excellent chances to reach the final round. Their final 18 will be played either Wednesday or Friday. The tournament was run off in final style by coach Bibb, assistant coach Shern and manager Sheehan who each toured the full 36 holes to act as inspiration for the rest. Sherri, a former golf team manager, stroked the field and tied for low with his pair of 83’s for a 166 total. Boxers and Mailman Meet Wednesday To Plan Year Wrestlers will meet Wednesday, Sept. 29, at 4:30 pm. in the gym to organ- ize for the coming season. New men are invited to attend the meeting and get acquainted with Coach Weissman and his men. Practice sessions will probably start early in October. Couches Encouraged By Excellent Return @f Armour Athletes With last year's mainstays returnu ing' in the way of good material, Ar- mour fans can look forward to an ex» citingr and fruitful athletic year. Tram. worries will hardly concern succi s for the current season, for mo. of last year’s stars will be back, graduation having taken it easy in most of the sports. While considering: the various teams and the experience of their members, one problem looms up which will leave its solution to the ambitious lower classmen. The fact is that too many of the athletes are seniors, who will be gone ere another year comes. Baseball will have this problem to contend with. It has a hang- up rec- ord to uphold, a strong: team to do the lighting, but is dominated by nine senior players. Unless some shifting is done this nine man loss will be deeply felt in ’39. Diamondcern Win Ten Games Last year' ‘hcilulc saw the Tec- hawk (liainondec win ten games and lose three. It was (loach Kra'l'l't‘s best season in several years. While win- ninnP a shank of eight games in sue. evasion, the Tech players clinched Ll'll' Northern Illinois Conference liilv. The team should prosper this year, since practically all of Its regular strength is returning". The snappy infield with Wagner-Dunne as the double play artists, Green on first, (label third, and Scidcnbcrg taking it up behind the plate is that of the ’37 champions. Traci; Team Returns Strong; Led by eleven seniors, the track team will be out to better its 50-50 record of last, season. Little loss was felt in this division as the result of graduation. Next year these eleven will leave the squad, but their positions will he Iillcd by the junior stars who have been hackingr up the team with fine performances. Mcn like Captain Dunbar, Faust, Deuter, Simeon. all high point men, and others will be hard to lose, but with such present juniors as Finnegan, Ryan, Rothen~ berg, Vandckicl't, Dixon, the squad will he left none too weak. There will be, however, plenty of room for new men. Netmcn Have Tap Record The ncllmcn enlarged on the long: and of a, tough schedule, with four victories, one defeat, and one lie. Swanson and Nutinchek, numbers one and two men, are juniors and will lead the raquetcors to more vic- tories in the next two years. The golf season wound up well bal» anccd with wins and losses; however, the swimmers were less successful, winningF only four out of twelve meets. Their strong list of junior tankmen, however, should help cap- 1,ain Dodge splash through to a bet— ter season. Dunne to Lend girong Matmon The. wrestlers have a record to proudly uphold. Captain Dunne, 135 pounds, must fill the shoes of last year’s Captain Kreml. The latter at 165 pounds led the matmen to seven wins out of ten meets. With six let- termen returning the squad should be able to cope with some classy competition. The other lettcrmen are McIntyre, Tullgren, McDaniel, Maxant, and Basile. Cagers to Launch Good Team First of major interest this fall will be the cagers when Coach Sten- g‘er launches his second season at Armour as mentor of basketball. His first year found ole-ht wins pitted against seven cage defeats on the records. Hcike, Marx, and Shukes, graduates, will be missed when the armory opens again this year. Bill O’Brien and Jack O’Connell will be co—captains this year, Bill be- ing high point man of last year, and Jack fifth high although starting playing~ as late as February. Wagner, Swanson, Henrieksen, Janicek, Mus- so, Grabacki, Kubicka, Brown, and Shechan are a few of those who will battle under the fighting: Irish, O’Brien and O’Connell. A few from last year’s fresh quintette will dc.— maud watching when December rolls around. I I Page Three t .mewcs awn-m.
