Pitcher” final

Tech Executes Pair of
Soluble Mays

E. Joseph Pacoc‘iia may be little,
but he’s got plenty of stuff. The
Michigan State Teachers came all
the way from Ypsilanti to look at
some mighty fine pitching as the Tec-
hawks won their season’s final in an
hour and a half to the tune of 2 to
1. The Armour boys dropped a
twelve inning due] by a similar score
Friday, May 13, at Ypsilanti, and
here was sweet revenge.

Martin Zachar pitched excellent
ball for the visitors and would prob-
ably still be trading the mound with
Joe had his team not pulled three
errors in the eighth to drop the game.

Leonard's Bun! Scores Green

Armour’s two runs were a gift——
but they won the game. Green led off
the eighth and used a nice eye to
take a pass. Leonard got the sacri-
fice signal from the bench and
promptly laid a pretty hunt down
the first base line. Zachar picked it
up and tossed it easily to first for
an intended put out, but Everett got
excited and let it pass by him into
the right field foul territory.

Green went to third on the over-
throw and raced for home. Everett
tried to redeem himself with a peg
to check Green at third. It was only
an idea, because his throw went wide
of the plate and Green scored. Hope
still in their hearts to retire at least
one man, the catcher, Anderson, tried
to get Leonard at third and threw
the ball into left field, the runner
scoring standing up.

Mound Work In Excellent
Fast fielding and very little gener-
osity from the mound saw the sixth
and seventh innings pass in five min-
utes each. Ypsilanti scored her lone
tally in the eighth on a single, an
unintentional sacrifice and a single
to the Gas Lab.

bollmen blanked
By Foresters, 73%

 

Failure to display any oil'ensive
strength last Wednesday afternoon
at Ogden Field caused the Tech dia-
mond men to be blanked by Lake
Forest 7-0. The defeat was the sec-
ond of the season at the hands of
the Foresters.

Pitcher Maiman, of Lake Forest,
had a little too much on the ball,
with the result that only four safeties
were hanged out by the Techawks.
Kruse went the route for the hosts,
and although striking out nine, gave
up nine hits which, combined with
some shaky support at times, gave
the North Shore men victory.

Armour Trims @eltalb
in Mill Innlng, lib"?

Lead by Joe Pacocha and Willie
Kruse, Armour defeated the DeKalb
StateTeachers in what almost turned
out to be a double header. The
game went 13 innings and lasted
four hours before Armour gleaned a
10 to 7 decision. The aforemen—
tioned gentlemen collaborated to win
the game with some mighty good
pitching and timely hitting.

Leading by a run with two down
in the ninth and a lone Techawk
on first, pitcher Singer faced little
Joe Pacocha with a grin of confi—
dent delight. Singer’s mind must
have been on Ted Weems and the
school dance that night.

Joe let two bad ones go by for a
couple of called strikes and on the
number three delivery he exploded
a beautiful triple into the creek bed
out in left center, tying up the game
and eventually bringing victory. The
best ball of the. contest was played
in the extra innings, neither team
allowing runners past first, while
both pitchers bore down.

While Armour men have made their mark in the engineering
world, the Techawks have as yet to place a man in the field of

dist NW Today

The soph chems versus either the
junior juicers or the senior chems is
the setup as the final of the softball
tournament is billed to become a re-
ality today. The uncertainty as to
the upper bracket representative is
due to conflicting schedules and spe-
cial exams which seemed to put off
the playoffs last Friday. The game
between the senior chems and junior
electricals was to have been played
yesterday and the winner booked to
face the soph chums at noon today.

The soph clients in reaching the
finals barely waded through some
tough opposition. Both the soph
mechs and the Rats run them into
extra innings but lost 7-6.

Overtime Win for M.E. '33

In the soph mech and chem game,
the chems won, 743, after eight in-
nings of argument and play. The
game took nearly 90 minutes to com—
plete due to the constant bickering.
Bob Carpenter won the game for the
schmiers in the eighth when he wal-

-ped a homer against the right field
fence. This hit marked the only run
off Wolniak, who succeeded Epstein.

In their second game, the chems
beat the Rats in another eight in--
ning affair. The Rats lost 7—6. The
sophs scored first when they tallied
three times in the second. Johnny
Cultra drove in two of the runs and
scored the other. However the Rats
came right back and, paced by New-
house, assumed a lead of one run.
The game see-sawed back and forth
and was finally tied by the chems in
the sixth.

Sher Scores Winning Run

In the eighth the chorus went
ahead when after Sher had singled,
Grigas grounded to third. A bad
throw got Grigas at first but allowed
Sher to get to third due to the awk-
ward position of the first baseman,
who made a beautiful catch. A throw
to third in ,an effort to catch Sher
went wild and the eventual winning
run scored.

In their half, the fresh loaded the
bases with two out but couldn’t score
as a pop foul ended the game.

The juicers reached their spot by
beating the junior chems and the
senior mechs. The chems were easy
but the mechs proved quite stubborn
before losing 6-5.

The game was a feature of home
runs, the telling blow being a homer
by Anderson with two men on. This
move then made up for a similar
blow by Bill O’Brien with bases
empty.

The senior chems meanwhile took
it easy waiting for someone to win

the eliminations.

Last Friday, Armour’s co—captains, Irv
Seidenberg and Ed Wagner announced their intentions of leaving

the ranks of the simou pure. Both
are now the property of thc Cincin-
nati Reds.

It is to Bill Kraft that Irv and Ed
owe their chances. Last October, Bill
decided that Irv was big league mn-
tcrial and began the works that were
to eventually lead to Irv's signing.
Irv had chances to sign with either
the Cleveland Indians, the Boston
Red 80):, or the Reds. After several
discussions with Kraft, “Cy" decid-
ed on the Reds.

Irv left last Sunday for Durham,
N. 0, home of the Piedmont League,
where he will join that club immedi—
ately. When asked about his chances
of making the big time, Irv replied,
“Give me three years and if I can’t
make the big show by then, I’ll quit.
I believe that if a fellow can’t make
it in three years, he has but little
chance of ever making it."

About the same time that Irv left
Wag was packing his trunk in prep-
aration for his trip to Muskougec,
Okla", in the Western League.
However, Wag doesn’t intend to
make a career of it. Having been
granted a fellowship, he intends to
return to Armour next fall and con-
tinue in the engineering field.

This signing of Wag to a profes-
aional contract brings to a close one
of the most brilliant careers of a stu-
dent at Armour. While playing bas~
ketball as well as baseball, Ed kept
his scholastic average up around 2.8
and was without a doubt the number
one man of the Armour undergradu-
ates. He is a member of three hon-
oraries, one professional fraternity
and has earned a good part of his tui-
tion.

 

 

 

 

 

Graduation is always a great thing
to the student and to the professor,
but to the coaches it’s just a big
problem. Some thirty senior ath-
letes will start looking for jobs this
summer, while six coaches will start
looking for men to fill their places—-
if they can.

Coach Stengcr gets hit the hard-
est. Seven men will receivo their
diplomas this June, leaving a big gap
in his Tochawk infield. Co—captains
Wagner and Scidenbcrg will shoot
for bigger honors in baseball this
summer, while Gchel, Green, Dunne,
Skeppstrom, and Rouchc will be
leaving the infield, outfield and bat-
teries a bit lean.

basketball.

Sunny Weissman will have to try
and find grapplcrs to fill those
weights just left open by captain
Jimmy Dunne, Maxant, McDaniel,
McIntyre and Kubik. Dunne with an
unmatched record of 32 wins against

will be a hard man to let go in the
135 pound class, as well as at sec—
ond base on the diamond. Weiss~
man also bids farewell to Stober and
Hock on the punching squad.

Norm Root isn’t overjoyed at the
thought of leaving Capt. Clair Dun-
bar, Bingham, Faust and Widoll off
his starting squad next year. Many
meets were won by these men, al
though a strong junior squad offers
some consolation.

We especially congratulate all
those seniors who helped keep every
sport above the .500 mark this sea-
son. They should be proud of this,
having left a precedent which will be
rather stifl" for remaining Techawks.
We face this problem «each year, how-
ever, and those of us who return next
fall may watch new stars rise to fill
the positions of our present ones.

Friday, Willard Krusc was unani-

Record of 8 Wins

Decisively whipping the North
Central Cardinals at Naperville for
the second time, the Tech tennis team
scored a (H victory last Tuesday.

Losing the only match was the Nat—
inchek-Swanson double combination.
It took the Napcrvillc duo three sets
before finally settling the matter
and winning the only match.

Boasting an enviable record of
eight wins, two losses, and a tie, the
Tech tennis team brought to a close
one of its best seasons.

Some of the more pleasant victor-
ies were those over Indiana State and
Illinois Wesleyan, while Purdue bare—
ly defeated Armour by one match, as
Loyola did within one match game,
and Swanson had the particular dis~
tinction of defeating a Chicago “8"
singles man.

The individual honors go to Capt.
Joe Kubic, who played a very depend-
able type of game while winning all

but one of his eleven matches. Nick
Natinchek and Ed Swanson. No. 1
men, both had nine wins and three
defeats for their seasonal record.
Nick was elected captain of the ’39
squad last week.

Just beginning his not career un~
dcr the tutelage of Coach Culvert
was Bob Langc, who did a pleasing
job of scoring eight victories while
becoming a victim to four matches.
Wagner held a 5-3 seasonal score
card.

In the doubles competition the top
lads did not fare as well. The Swan-
son-Natinchek had to be content with
taking but four out of ten matches.
The Kubic—Lange concern seemed to
click better and oftencr, losing only
one and winning five. Still better
was the doubles of Lange and Wag-
ner, who smashed over all of their
four opponents.

This year’s team had only one son-
ior, captain Kubic. This means that
next year the U. of Chicago “B"
team. Purdue and other Indiana
schools will have a tough schedule
to complete when they meet the more
experienced Armour layout.

Clark High Scorer; Ties
High Jump Record

Last Saturday's victory over Loy-
ola brought the track season to an
end with the records showing nine
wins against three losses. The Tec-
hawks scored nine firsts to five for
Loyola.

Clark walked all with high scoring
honors as he took Ilirsts in the javelin
throw and the broad jump, and
equaled the Armour record as he tied
for first in the high jump.

The discus throw was a clean
sweep for Armour as Vandekicft,
Burman, and ‘Stohman tossed the
plate far ahead of Loyola’s entries.
In the high jump Graham and Looney
of Loyola were practically conceded
the first two places until Clark hit
his stride and cleared 5 ft. 10 in. to
tie for first.

Rothenberg scored good firsts in
the two hurdles events. The relay
team of Matthews, McDonald, Cer—
ovski, and Covington had only a lit-
tle trouble in winning that event.

This has been one of the most sue.
ccssful seasons that the track squad
has enjoyed for several years as the
well-balanced squad swept over Loy-
ola and Elmhurst indoors and then
went on to beat Beloit, Elmhurst, and
Wright outdoors before Illinois Wes-
leyan won a 66-65 decision.

The Techawks were not to be de-
nied though and they came back the
following week to beat Wheaton and
Elmhurst in a triangular meet and
thaton in a dual count. Another
week and another win was donated by
the powerful Bradley squad.
