Tuesday, October 12, I937 Touch ball Ploy @pened Monday Eleven Teams Entered in Tournament With the game scheduled between the junior civils and firemen yester- day, the annual fall touchball tour- ney got under way. Eight games have been put on the card for the week among the eleven teams which have entered so far. Only One Fresh Team Only one fresh team has signed up for the tourney, although this class has been granted the right to put as many teams on the field as it can muster. Teams will play in round robin fashion until they have suf- fered two losses, after which they must drop out. Each fall touchball play has prog— ressed and developed a better style of play. Teams have become more coordinated, and fancy plays have been the makings of many winning teams. Chemicals Win Two years ago, the juniOr chem- icals smashed through to win all the games and the championship of the departments. Last year the same squad, under the heading of senior schmiers, again came through for the title, but found the competition tougher. A fresh team, under the heading of “Meteors,” actually up- set the champions, and gave them the only defeat in two years of play. Fresh Split Up This year the Meteors are split into departments, so the runner—ups of last year, now the senior mechs, will draw a large proportion of the attention in this season’s play. This team fought last year’s champs to a tie in the finals, but then yielded in overtime play. Any team may do the surprising thing with some new dazzling system or exceptional power, much as the frosh did last year with their threat team.

Time Trials To Be Held For Swimmers In their second get-together of the current year, the Tech swimmers went through plans for the use of the Chicago pool during the com— ing season, and also discussed the coming time trials which have been scheduled to be run oil? in about three weeks. This year’s arrangements with the U. of C. make it possible for the Tech natators to have the use of the pool daily from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 pm. and from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m., with the exception of Monday, Wed‘ nesday, and Friday when the Armour men must be out by 4:00 o’clock to make way for the home team. Wrestlers Look for Busy Season If things work out according to the tentative schedule the Tech wrestlers will get a chance to test their mettle against a Big Ten team from Wisconsin, along with six other teams during the coming year. As usual their season will include matches. with Morton, DeKalb, Wheaten, North Central, Illinois Normal, and Wright, making a grand total of fourteen meets over a pe— riod which begins on November 17 and should close sometime about the middle of March. From all indications the coming year should be as successful if not more so than last year, since most of the team has returned and quite a likely bunch of recruits have ap- peared in the way of new material. Practice will be held, as has been mentioned previously, on every Mon. day, Wednesday, and Friday (we hing. 1 W. Krafit Resigns It looks as if this year’s touchball tourney will be as much of a success as last year’s was. Entries so far have reached the total of eleven which includes a full quota from ev- ery department except the mechani— cals and the electricals, and one team from the freshman class. its #1 ’1‘ Since it is not too late to enter we‘re still looking forward to seeing entries come in from the sophomore and junior chcms and juicers, and also a few more from the class of ‘41. lb 1': # From the amount of time put in in touchball practice during the past week, it looks as if the senior chems are in earnest about keeping the touchball championship in the chem— ical department. Last year’s tourney was won by their predecessors, the chorus of ’37. The tennis tourney in the past week has made progress by leaps and bounds, but all of the progress seems to be coming from the upper class— men‘s division. Come on fresh, don’t let them get a head start on you. v; 5% ’51 As to the inquiries that have been going around of late about a bowl- ing tournament in the near future, all that we can say is that all those that are interested should get in touch with Chclgren, intramural manager, who is open to any sug- gestions as to how and when of get- ting it started. 1'; 1? 39 As has been the custom of the past years Tech men will again serve as ushers at the University of Chi. cago‘s football games during the coming season.

C. Krafl’t has found it necessary to give up his regular coaching activities in favor of his business enterprises. Krafft Enters in 1921 Coach Kraift came to Armour in 1921 from Waukcgan Township High School. A graduate of North Central College of Naperville, he had attended the graduate coaching schools of the Universities of Illinois and Iowa. He was tremendously handicapped by deficient athletic equipment and accommodations, but during his sixteen seasons of baseball and basketball he turned out teams that made Armour a name respected among other schools for its good competition and fine sportsmanship. Athletic Curriculum Grows In addition to developing excellent teams, Kraift went much farther in building up the athletic department at Armour. New sports were intro— duced, and men with ability were selected to guide them. The entire athletic curriculum grew with him, and a number of improvements in coaching technique were introduced during his stay. Last year Krafl‘t found it necessary to drop the work of general athletic director at Armour, because of inter— ference with his insurance business. However, he made it possible to re- main as coach of his baseball squad. An appropriate finale to his last year here was the production of a North— ern Illinois conference championship team. Stcnger to Coach Baseball Coach Grant Stcnger will take over managing the baseball team. His excellent showing as basketball coach and head of the athletic department, combined with the fine team of last season, sheds a rosy glow on the ’38 diamond pos. bilitics. to have a busy year of it.

Football Makes Haifa/vita of its Men, Says Scull}; HALFBACKS BECOME HALFWITS New York, Oct. 9.~Football makes uddlcd-brained stumble-backs of its players. That is the indictment lev- olcd today against the nation’s lead— ing amateur sport by Frank Scully, noted author, who attributes his in- validism to the drubbing he took in school competitions. Reporting the results of a survey he made of the leading players of twenty years ago, Scully declares in the current Liberty magazine that many of those who Weren’t killed in the World War either died from tu— berculosis or are now addlcd-brained dim wits. Hull’witc From Halfbuclto “After careful study I have come to the conclusion that you don’t have to he a half-wit to be a halfback, but if you are a half-back long: enough you will be," he writes. Scully relates a meeting with Charlie Barrett, former all—Ameri- can quarterback at Cornell and cap< min of the 1916 unbeaten team. Bar— rett was in the last stages of t.b. just before his death. “He told me," says Scully, “that six members of that championship 1910 squad. has also broken down with Lb. Barrett’s confession was the greatest mass in- dictment of varsity football I had run into up to that time." Constant Jnrring Affects Brain But, says the writer, their fate was less pitiful than others whose brains could not stand the constant vicious jarring. He relates the experience of one Coast championship team: “Of the three stars in the backfield, all named on one All-America team or another, subsequently one broke his neck in his last season and therefore missed his chance of becoming a com- plete stumble—back; the second end- ed his undergraduate days by walkA inc; on his heels; and third was so punch-drunk from too much football that he could see no way out except playing more football, either as a professional or as an assistant coach. in n Camels are a matchless [iiiARVARDS‘ smoowmsm‘ WOULD FURNISH EVERY MAN.

Bills of the University of Cin- cinnati. Delivering to the breather a com—- binalion of about 50 per cent pure oxygen mixed with air, the mask’s, use cut in half the number of pauses per minute that come to persons do- ing brain work. These pauses are the result of mental fatigue —— the brain taking a short rest. The new oxygen mask is the final step in a series of experiments which appear to prove the theory that fa- tigue is not duo so much to the brain becoming “tired” as to fail- ure of the blood to supply all the oxygen the brain wanted.
