f. ‘2 Monday, September l9, l938 ARMOUR TECH NEWS Page Three By H. R. Coylc While other campuses are abustle with Fall football scrimmage and everybody prepared for “Saturday‘s game," coaches are worrying about coordinating their power with brains, and sports writers trying to predict whether Minnesota will again have both; Armourites return today to a relatively quiet little campus site. The fact is that football is the one sport that Tech doesn’t have. It takes about a week for new students to get used to this —they have other things to think about then—and by two months the problem is well in hand with difficulties surmount- ing on the boslcekball court. While Armour’s own Coach Sten- gcr has none of these scrimmage worries there are other sports that might be bothering him now. And this is where you come in, freshmen! Last year was one of the best all- round years Tech has had. A.I.T. actually stood above the .500 mark in every sport but swimming and has kctball. Not that we’re trying to boast about last season’s wrestlers, trackmen, diamondeers, racketeers and golfers, we‘re just reminding you that some thirty athletes began look- ing for jobs after graduation, and team positions will be wide open. E“ ’5 1 There should be no pessimistic out- look as to the 1938-39 season, how’ ever. While Tech lost good man, she left good leaders to round out the coming squads. Paul Honriknen and Ed Swan- son are err-captains for the cage squad, who with other spectacu- lar scorers such as Lloyd Nor- lzus and Bill Sharer leave us in expectation of a betterment of last year's record. Ralph Tullgrcn will take over the leadership left open by the loss of Jimmy Dunne, last year’s captain of the grapplers, while Tom Clark will lead the returning punching squad. Bob Winblad was elected to head the swimming squad. He is the lead- ing" hackstrokcr and a good free stylist. Ray Dodge, last year’s cap- tain, is back. The swimmers should fare well as no one was lost through graduation. Willard Kruse, star hurlcr of the Techawk nines for the past three years, will captain the coming base- ball squad. He and Coach Stenger will have big worries when Spring rolls around, as seven regulars were lost in graduation. Late last Spring the track team met and chose for its (so- captains Steve Finnegan, track- mnn, and Dick Vandekieft, field- man. They both hold Armour Tech team records. The track team has a .750 record of wins to maintaini Nick Natinchck will be the captain for the tennis five. Only Joe Kubik, captain last year, will be lost to the squad which pulled in a .773 aver— ago last May. Ed Swanson and Nick will be back in the one and two posi- tions to repeat this feat. Don Sunde was appointed captain of the golf team which appears to be returning strong. The team will be built around Sunde, Schmal, Fox, Mackcy and Korrcll, or others de- pending upon the results of the big- intramural tourney. The qualifying 36 holes are for this Saturday, and the low men will probably play match the following week. n: =3 :5: So with this seasonal whirl of ath- letes ahead, football will not be missed. Those who crave it may see the A.T.S.A. president, Dick Vande- kieft, who will have usher tickets available for the U. of C. games. Others may satisfy themselves on Ogden Field, watching the senior chemo plan their cam- paign to recapture the inter-dew partmental touchball title. Meanwhile, Grant Stenger, unlike all the other coaches who are wor- ried about returning backfield men, has nothing; to cry over but the mere fact that Miss Thompson’s lunchroom and cafeteria crew has crowded him and his gymnasium force out of the But only until the Student is completed, and then we shall have a new sport to cover» that of lounging- around in the club rooms and discussing the latest vic- tories of the Technwks! @oliers Meet In This Saturday the Armour men, both new and returning students, will have their first fling at golf. Coach Sammy Bibb expects at least forty golfers to show up for the Armour open tournament. Last year twenty-five participated in the tournament, which was held amid inclement conditions. This year 36 holes are to be played medal on the first Saturday of the competition, while on the following Saturday there will be thirty-six holes of match play. Although the returning members of the golf team, Captain Don Sande, Ralph Schmall, and John Fox, will shoot along with the rest of the field, three men are to be picked for the first team and four for the second team. As yet the place of battle remains to be chosen, but those who are go- ing to play are advised to watch the bulletin boards for the announce- ment. There should be no excuse of lack of transportation, for coach Bibb will see to it that all prospective team members will be taken to the golf course. Those who express a keen desire to display their ability with a club are asked to see either coach Bibb, asso» ciatc coach Abern, or assistant Ed Wagner in the earlier part of the week. For fun and keen sportsman- ship these fall golf tourneys rate ace high. In past years the scores have usu— ally been high, due in most cases to high winds and damp grounds. If the weather man is on the Techside, the scores will be down in the low 80’s, with the team men hitting the high 70’s. Chorus .3, when Spring fiattbull With Wagner and Dcuter making sensational plays and Dcuter driving,r in four runs, the senior chemical (’38) won the annual softball tourna- ment by a score of 6 to 4 last June. Their victims who found Bob Mor- shall’s pitching too slow to hit con- sistently were the soph (’40) chems, champs of the lower bracket. The seniors reached the finals by routing the junior juicers and through that game they completed a clean sweep of their bracket. The sophs gained the finals undefeated al- so but they had to pull two extra inn- ing games out of the fire to do it. In both the quarter and semi finals, they went into extra frames to win 7 to 6 over the soph mechs and the “Rats,” respectively. Their was no scoring in either halves of the first innning as the se- nior»soph finals got under way, but in the second the to he graduates pounded Fahey for four runs. The most damaging blow was a double by Deuter with two on. With Grigas and Cultra leading the attack, the sophs gradually pulled up and it was 4 to 3 going into the sixth. Here again Deutcr came up with two on and slammed a triple to right center scor- ing the runs that eventually meant victory. In their half the sopbs got a rally started but due to a collison between a runner and fielder by which the runner was out, the uprising was smothered and the seniors went on to win, 6 to 4. Phi lions, armhole Win Spring Awards Two intefraternity trophies were won by Phi Kappa Sigma and one by Triangle at the conclusion of the Spring tournies last June. Baseball and Tennis went to the former, while the Golf trophy was taken by Tri~ angle. The pitching of Wayne Dolder for the Phi Kaps defeated that of Bill Sharer of the Delts and the former team won the title 9-4. A tennis trio consisting of Bob Lange, Don Char-latch and Bill Ho- vcrsen defeated the Phi Pi Phi team for tennis honors. Triangle went on to take the golf honors from Delta Tau Delta, which had won the cup for two years and needed the third leg for permanent possession.

The German government retained him as architect for the German Pa- vilion at the World’s Fair in Barccv lona in 1929. This structure is con- sidered a masterpiece of modern architecture. In 1980 he assumed the directorship of the Bauhaus in Des— sou. Here he had the opportunity of transmitting his ideas of modern architecture to the new generation of architects. His appointment to Ar- Inour institute will enable him to con- tinue his educational work.

Steam Shovel trail An autumn temp is in the air again, and the weary students (ii they are not weary now, they soon will be) are returning to school. A flew- a gap summer of yolamunti’ng hither and you, has/ring in the Mailing 32m and maybe pitching woo under a tropical moon, they are back at “toidp—tcid and the trucks.” Once again they will pull out their worn slide-rules and their little dusty text books (weight 20 lbs. each), and go to work. They will study ’till the wee (very wee) hours of the morning, and rhea drop their tired bodies to the 8:30 classes, arriving at 8:30%, to hear the cackla of the professor’s voice and to see the glitter in his eyes as he says with a half sneer: “Hey Hey, trying to sneak in again a half min~ utc lute. Fifty moblems extra.” Oh well, we live wad] learn. And the steam shovel is going to learn plenty this semester.

Hilbcrscimcr has written extensively including the series for “Das Handbuch der Archi- tecktur.” In 1928 Hilberscimcr was appointed professor of city planning‘ at the Bauhaus. Studied M. U. of Munich Walter Pistol-bans was born in 1397 in Frankfort am Main. He studied at the Universities of Munich and Goettingen and at the Academy in Leipzig. Because of his outstanding work in the field of photography, he‘ was called to the Bauhaus to create and direct its department of pho- tography. Here he developed pho- tography to such technical perfec- tion that it could be employed to re- produce and make apparent the quali- ties and defects of materials, thus creating a new educational technique of revealing the relationships bc~ tween material structure and space. John B. Rodgers was graduated from Princeton University with a Master’s degree in Architecture in 1928. He completed his architectural education at the Bauhaus in Germany. He has been associated with the firms of Blcy and Lyman, York and Saw- yer, and Edward 13. Green and Sons. At the present time he is a member of the firm of Rodgers and Prcistley, Associates. Developed New Program After having studied the American situation thoroughly, Mics van dcr Rohc has developed a program of studies for the school of architecture at Armour. The strength but also the difficulty in the American situa— tion, in Mies van der Roho‘s opinion, lies in the existence of new problems of spiritual significance and new means for their solution; but the vi- tality of the existing organizational and technical forces assures the pOSn sibility of an original and meaning- ful solution of the cultural develop- ment. “Culture is the harmonica relation- ship of man to his environment." Mics van der Rohia said. “and architecture is a necessary manifestation of the relationship. This is the meaning and the goal of the course of siudiesf“ Pit at State and Lake descended 95 feet without encounter. l’rol. Erase Aids lilovernmenl‘ Engineers Chicago's subway system will be one step nearer realization Wednes- day with the completion of soil tostsl now being conducted in Armour’s Soil Mechanics Laboratories. The laboratories are in charge of Pro- fessor H. C. Ensz, structural engi- neer and instructor at Armour. The soil tests are necessary since the. Chicago subway is to be built through i soil and not cut through rock like those of other cities. I I In order to obtain soil samples at various depths under the city where the subway tubes are to be con- structed, pits were dug at three places in Chicago’s loop. The pit at State and Lake streets is the dccp~l est of the three. It descended to al depth of ninety-five feet. At each two feet of descent a small sample 01' soil was taken. an “undisturbed" soil sample was taken. To take such a sample a short length of large diameter piping is sunk into the, soil. The pipe is then dug up and the undisturbed sample within it is ready for the laboratory. Every five feet The purpose of soil mechanics is to replace by scientific methods the em— pcrical mcthods of design used here- tofore in foundation engineering. By laboratory methods the physical characteristics: of the soil are deter— mined. These characteristics have a direct bearing on problems in earth and foundation engineering. A series of routine tests of remold- cd soil which investigate the general properties, the At‘terbcrg limits and the size distribution of the soil are made.
