Armour to Protect
Eight Win Streak

Weather Biggest Fear
Of Champions

 

With both coach and players
praying for a break in the weather,
the Armour baseball team is
taking what few means it can to
keep in shape for their coming game
with the University of Chicago. Un-
less they are able to get some but-
ting practice in some way or other,
the team will enter this game in the
same fix as they did last year.

The game will be played on the
Maroons’ field at Sixtieth and Green-
wood Avenue this Thursday after-
noon. Originally scheduled for Fri-
day, the game was moved up to
Thursday on the suggestion of Coach
Stengcr.

Chicago Squad a Mystery

Last year the Maroons beat the
Institute twice due to the fact that
the chhawks weren’t as yet timing
the ball properly. As a result they
were only able to score one run in
each game while the Maroons count,
cred four times in the first battle
and twice in the second. However
this year the ’l‘cchawks have a win-
ning streak to protect and their (le—
tcrmination to increase this run may
be enough to overcome the handicap
of lack of batting practice.

What opposition will be offered
for the Techawks this year cannot
be stated at this time as the Midway
coach will be displaying a whole new
team except on the mound and at
third base. As described by Coach
Andersen in a recent radio inter-
view, “thc boys this year are very in-
experienced but are willing and
eager to learn.”

Amundsen May Hurl

The only regulars of note that are
returning to bolster the rookies are
Jerry Sivcsind and Paul Amundsen.
The former, a third baseman, has
just been elected captain to succeed
French White Jr. who has joined the
St. Paul Saints to play professional-
ly. Jerry formerly played the hot
corner for Englcwood High School
and was mentioned on several all—
city teams.

In Paul Amundsen, who the Tec-
hawks will remember from basket-
ball experience, the Mai-oops have
one of the tallest hurlers in the
Western Conference. His six feet
six inches make him appear mighty
big on the mound and with this ad-
vantage he has been very successful
in fooling the opposition.

Amundsen pitched the second
game against the Institute last year
and although he walked three and al-

Eight Men Quality
in First Golf Round

Humpered by bone-chilling cold-
ness and dampness, the annual
spring golf tournament got off to a
slow start last Saturday at the Ever-
green golf links. 0f the twenty
men that braved the inclement
weather to shoot eighteen holes,
eight qualified, top honors going to
A. W. Gilbert who shot an 88.

All of the scores were consistently
higher than usual because of the ten
stroke handicap placed on the con—
testants by the Master of all golf-
ersfiol’ Man'Weather. Low five of
the eight men who swept the Ar-
mour open’s first round, were Gil-
bert, Richie May, John Fox, Ralph
Schmall, and Don Mackey.

If the snow that now covers most
of the links is melted when Satur~
day rolls around, the eight qualifiers
will play at Cog Hill. The four golf-
ers with the lowest scores for the
first nine will continue in order to
eliminate two more. The remaining
two will then hold a private eighteen
hole battle between themselves to
decide the champion, all 36 being
played the same day. Both men,
however, will become members of
Sammy Bibb’s troupe, joining the
regulars, captain Twick Davidson,
Carl Malmcldt, and Don Sunde. Al—
though this is a tournament, all who
can wield a golf stick will be there
to join the rest of the divobdiggers
and participate in the fun-making.

 

Outdoor Track Opens
At Stage Field
Saturday

Under its first severe test of the
outdoor track season, the local cin-
der squad will open against Beloit’s
Goldmen at Stagg Field Saturday aft~
crnoon. Although the Goldmcn dc-
feated Tech 62 2/3 to 54 1/3 last
year, the Techawk winning combina—
tions should ease ahead of the new
Beloit squad.

Last year’s conflict found the
Tech beam fighting strong, cold winds
on a puddled field. The consistent
placing of Beloit men in the second
and third positions in the events was
enough to put the Goldmen out ahead
at the final score.

The Armour trackmen should
score a victory in their meet Satur-
day inasmuch as the team is com-
posed of not only individual stars
but also crack relay teams. At the
recent Illinois Relays, the two-mile
relay team of Ryan, Deuter, Finne-
gan and Platz placed third in the
college event. Facing stiff compe-
tition, Armour’s relay team placed
again in the relays when the medley
team of Dunbar, Dcutcr, Finnegan

 

and Platz placed fourth in that
event.

With Purdue, Chicago, St. Viator,
and Indiana State appearing on their
schedule, the tennis team is in for
plenty of competition this coming
season.

During JUNIOR WEEK the rack—
etccrs will don their seven league
boots and invade southern Illinois
to take on St. Victor’s. A sneak
across the border into Indiana will
then plant them on the courts of In~
diana State Teachers. Purdue will be
met on the home courts while Chi«
cago “B” will be met on the Mid—
way courts.

Last year the lads showed com—
mendable fight over their opponents
to win five times in nine tries, ty-
ing one of the other four. Techmcn
on the court will be all of last
year’s team except Boehme and
Herz. Ed Swanson, Nick Natinchek,
Joe Kubik, Ralph Wagner, and Don
Charlton will form the nucleus of
this year’s team.

   

 

 

In the singles
Swanson, Nick Natinchek, and Joe
Kubik boasted a season’s record of‘
six wins in nine matches. Ralph
Wagner had the best season’s aver—
age by winning four out of five of
his matches. Kuhik come through
with four straight wins before how-
ing to Khadder of Illinois Wesleyan.
Wagner in his lone defeat of the
season suffered at the hands of Kent
of Wheaton forced his opponent to
play 24 games in the first set bo—
forc Kent finally won, 11-13.

Notinchek and Bochmc were the
season’s best double combination
winning five out of their six matches.
Swanson and Kubik enjoyed a fair
degree of success by winning four
out of seven in the doubles. Loyola
were the only doubles combination
that was strong enough to stop Nat-

 

 

 

 

 

 

When Snow White came to the
Palace for its seven weok run, we
didn’t expect her to stay on our
hands seven months. But it looks
as if she’ll be in the Chicago area for
seven years and it will take more
than Seven Dwarfs to clear away
Ogden Field. Tech’s only console-

the Big Ten, she still wants that vic—
tory better than no game at all.
Also she is anxious for a first victory
over the Marconi: since 1934, when
the A.I.T. diamondcers won 7-3.
But from the aspect of last Sntur»
day's Winter Wonderland, this one
of the few heavy games is likely to
fall through. For if the game is
called off later than Friday, it won't
be played. This is why Couch Sten-
ger made the smart move of udvancv
ing the date of play to Thursday,
giving them one day of leeway. Al-
though this will not help the snow
situation, it may prove advantageous

Senior ijhcms as
Softball Champs

By Jim Faltcy

(Captain of the “Frosh” Meteors)

With the inauguration of the soft-
ball tournament further in the offing
due to the weather of late, one finds
it ideal to sit around the hot stove
and cast predictions back and forth.
Not wishing to be out of things we’ll
add ours to the opinions already going
about.

In the upper bracket, a serious sit—
uation exists in that four teams have
excellent chances 01‘ finishing on top.
The senior rnechanicals, champs of the
uppcrclassmcn last year, are destined
for n tumble. Without the but of Irv
Seidcnbergmho will devote all his time
to the baseball team, the mocha have
little power at the plate. If they re-
peat ngain this your in the upper
bracket, it will be bccauso of Bill
O'Brien’s pitching, and nothing else.

The team that will succeed the
mechs are the senior chemicals.
Boasting the inurdcrer’s row of Wag-
ner, Dunne, Greene and Bodnar the
chcms look mighty good at the plate.
On top of this they have a fine pitch-
er in Bob Marshall. His twirling
combined with that hitting should win
the title for these boys. The other two
teams are thc senior elects and the
junior chems. Both teams will be up
there and with a few “breaks” either
team might win.

In the lower bracket, the Soph Chcms
and the Soph Mechs will battle it out,

ration isn't common to Armour alone.
The term arises at pep meetings of
every school and receives special cm-
phasis after every strenuous losing
streak. Students often say that if
the team could win a game, the for-
mer would come out.

But Armour- iun't having any lot:-
in(; streaks this season, and if there
over is to be a time for school spirit
at Armour, that time has finally or-
rlvcd. When the ballmen rampage
over Chicago thin week, don’t let
yourself be sorry you minced—just

uAny ull-cigarcttcsmrenalikc talk. doesn’t jibe with

Camels steadily for 5 years, and found that Camel
is the cigarette that agrees with me, in a lot of ways.
Good taste. Mildness. Easy on the throat. And
Camels don't give me jumpy nerves. Like a lot of
people I know, 'I’d walk a mile for a Camell'"

El“. GRAHAM, seeing Joe DiMaggio pull out Camels, asked his opinion on smoking.
