Tuesday, May 24, l933 ARMOUR TECH NEWS Page Three Tech to lists Foresters, ”fpsi Alter gloss ltmsc Drops? aMt-le as fiparisns Stage Rally to Triumph 5% WAG LEAQSS bAT'i'El’lb Tech’s diamondeers again proved to be near the top when it comes to college baseball. After staying over for three days in Lansing, Mich- igan, just waiting for a crack at the Michigan State Spartans, they faced them a week ago yesterday after- noon and led them for seven innings before losing by a 5 to 4 count. The Saturday game rained out, but the boys were anxious to stay over and were fortunate to have the rain break up in time for a beauti- ful game. A good campus crowd turned out to witness the home team fight for two runs in the seventh to win its thirteenth victory against three defeats this season. Tech Leads 2-0 Armour opened up with fight when Joe Pacocha singled to short right and Dunne laid down a sacri— ficc bunt. Wagner’s grounder scored Joe, and with Scidcnbcrg down, Kruse hit through the box to score Wagner, 2-0. Tech held this lead for two in— nings, but with difficulty, and in the third the Spartans loaded the bags, one man scoring after a flyout, and the second on a play between first and second on a runner. The Techawks immediately fought for another two run lead, Leonard walking to first, Pacocha hitting a triple, and Dunne dropping a Texas leaguer to score Joe, Joe’s second run of the game. They hold this lead until the fifth, when a double and single gave the Spartans another run. With one down in the seventh, Kuk hit to left, stole second, Randall walked and Stark singled to drive in the tying run. Levagood then drove in the winning,r run with the third hit of the fatal inning. Armour Lacks Punch The sad part of the game was that Armour had five men who died on third, unable to draw that scoring punch which could easily have won the game. Although the Michigan State squad outhit 104), Krusc held them in comparatively better check than Libbers did for State. No ninth inning rally came as it had at Ypsilanti, and so the Tec- hawks had nothing more to say about the 5—4 tally. Both games were heartbreakcrs to lose, and nothing could be blamed since both were al- most perfectly fielded games. Wag— ner hit three out of four times for Tech to match Kuk and Levagood of the Michigan State nine.

The visitors will be out trying to conclude a suc- cessful season with a victory over their old rivals. The tennis squad has been displaying the form that was expected of them prior to the opening of the season. After a poor start, the team has won six of its last seven meets. Nick Natinchek and Joe Kubik have been bowling over their opponents having won seven straight in the singles compe‘ tition. When the Tech men trot out on the courts this afternoon, they will be carrying a season’s record of sevens wins against three losses and a tie. The return meets with Whea- ton and Loyola were rained out last wee ' The three losses were to Loyola, Chicago “E,” and Purdue, all of which are capable of putting strong tcaims on the courts. Among the Engineers’ victories have been two shut—0m; victories over St. Vintor and one over Ellinois Wesleyan. bottle with biota Lake Forest, Ypsilanti Visit- dien as Season Ends @Allflb TAKE TBTLE North Central’s Cardinals com~ pleted the swipe of Tech’s Northern Illinois Collegiate Conference title Friday and are now the champs. They defeated Wheaton Friday, the only team which had already given them a conference defeat. They do- feated Tech twice in a row immedi— ately after the relapse at Lake For- est. This week finds the Armour nine busy with two big final ballgames. Tomorrow they meet Lake Forest here in a return engagement. It will be recalled that it was Lake For- est that beat the Techawks 7-6 to end the 13 game winning streak in a fourteen inning game earlier in the season in which Willie Krusc went the whole stretch. With this heart-breaking defeat to prod them on, the Armour men will be playingl for a win to restore their pride. A win tomorrow will give Armour the edge over Lake Forest for the past two years, having won one and tied one with Lake Forest last year. Face Second Extra Inning Team Friday the team from Michigan Normal will journey down here and attempt to repeat their victory of a week ago when they won 2-1 on their diamond. It was another extra in— ning, battle with a winning- decision going to Ypsilanti by a flick of fate’s fickle finger. Looking over the record so for, this makes the fourth loss of the season for Armour by one run. North Central took a 13—12 win after pre- viously shutting out Armour 11-0. It was these two losses to the same squad that left the N.I.C.C. title that Armour last Friday, hanging in a delicate balance. Tennis Team Wins Elves Wesleyuns with til-0 fihutout Although the weather man cut their afternoon’s activities short, the Armour racketecrs were able to whitewash the Illinois Wesleyans, 4-0 Thursday at the U. of C. vars- ity courts. The remaining singles match and the two doubles were washed away by a deluge. After dropping a hotly ‘ ‘ ’ set, 5-7, Ed Swanson returned to form winning the next two sets, 6—1, 62, and the match. Joe Kubik continued to stay in his winning ways by overcoming A. Hartman with ease, 6—2, SJ. Langc was hard pressed to win his second set from Harris, the set being deuced at 5-5 after a 6—1 Armour victory in the first set. Langc tool-z the match by winning the next two games. Natim chek came through for victory by subduing Rust, 6~2, 6-3. It. Wag- ner’s match was rained out after his winning: the first set, 6-2, from Boz— zard. A.T.§?A. Is the A. T.S. A. an association of students or a private set—up of minority selected boardmen to handle student business behind closed doors? The general inefficiency of the Board during the past year, and more immediately, the annual quiet and suave man- ner of running off the nomination aroused this question again last week. It received the special consideration of about twenty five leading students Friday. HE A. T.S.A. HAS BEEN ON THE FLOOR BEFORE. Two years ago under its former title of the Ai'mour Tech Athletic As— sociation, President Don Neal defended the organization at the annual student meeting, the meeting which is required in the con- stitution, and successfully compromised thecharges by calling for a change in the name—resulting in the title of Student Associa- tion. The title was changed, but the association is still no more representative of the students than it was. Few students actually know how the A.T.S.A. operates. Board meetings are not open to the student body, and even its decisions are not disclosed to the studentL publication. Whether this has been the program of the board or our own negligence, the TECH NEWS plans to take action in the future and reveal the doings of the board to the student body. If this were done, per— haps some of the unfavorable reports regarding the slow action of the board and overuse of the “shelf” would not prevail. The present board is not entirely to blame. cumulative one from past year. The situation is more of a At the meeting held Friday, everything was ransacked in general, but since the inefi'ciency was laid to the attitude of the Board itself, the principal reforms boiled down to those of a more open style of Board meeting, and 11 new method of nominating A.T.S.A. offi- cers. It was reported that the nom- inations for last week’s election were somewhat extra-legal. The only significant form of student representation allowed For in the present constitution is the election of its officers from those selected by the committee. When the committee is selected by one or two members of the Board, it tends to procreate whatever regime may be in control of the Board. The greatest protest of the students is that they are (forced to vote for certain selected men while they know of men more qualified than those placed on the ballot. A primary election in which all men interested could take the initizv tive to run, and submit their names to the ballot, was suggested. As it is now, men are selected who are dis— interested, whilc others anxious to run are not considered, neither hnv~ ing a voice in the matter. Students should be allowed“ to wit— noon the Board meetings, or at least to have m rcm‘csenlativc from the stu- dent publication, who would write-up all printable news. Also, it would be advisable to cut down the two~thirds majority vote requisite for amending the constitu— tion, since only a little more than half of the students turn out to cast their ballots. This latter factor is consistent with our belief that the student body are too unaware of the presence of the A.’l‘.S.A. Only about six hundred voted last Friday. Inasmuch as n two~thirds major- ity are necessary to make these " a new ' ' should be drawn up similar to the old, but including these changes, the procedure of two years ago. This method of revision should he supported by the students, much as they will benefit from the revision, and the attempt to amend the old would probably fade out through lack of votes. Greatest of all, the Board of Con- trol meetings should become more open, and the students should he- comc more conscious of their own government to which they are con— tributing 19 dollars a year. H. R. Coylc. luau Tennis Team Enjoys Successful Trip liming .ll”. Week; Takes Trio During Junior Week Armour’s ten- nis team made a successful trip into Indiana, defeating Indiana State Teachers, 4~2, and St. Viator, 7-0. With the Teachers, the Armourites won three singles and one of the dou- bles to provide their margin of vic- tory. Their victory over (St. Viator was the second of the season over the Saints. The Tech men swept through the five singles and two doubles matches for their season’s second shutout. Against the Indiana State Teach- ers, Swanson dropped the first sin- gles match to Necdham, 3-6, 2-6, but Natinehek, Kubik and Lang'e came through with victories in the three remaining singles matches. Swanson and Natinchek lost a hard fought doubles match to Needham and Milan, 8-6, 4--6, 5-7. Kubil: and Lnnge’s doubles victory over Miller and Zolot- nick, 7-5, (L4, enabled Armour to to complete their trip with two wins in two tries. The team got in the winning mood for the trip by defeating George Wil- liams, 4-2, the day before. Three Victories in the singles and one dou— bles victory was good enough to give the Tech men a Victory.

Because of these inclement conditions, only a few games have been played since Junior Week. As an outcome of the few games that were played, the senior cloctricals and junior civils have dropped out of the standings and the Arx and the Coop ’41 also found the going too tough for them to remain in the lower bracket. Firmly seated in first place are the pace-making senior chemicals with four straight victories. However, they nearly suffered defeat last Tuesday when the Senior Electricals almost upset them, Il--3.
