1938 Tuesday, November 22, ARMOUR * TECH NEWS ' fill basketball Squad Will Open Season Against Arkansas I31" Iniurics, Turnout Hinder Complete bcrimmage ,, Efforts to secure a cage battle with either Beloit or Ripon for the open dates of December 1 or 2 fell through last week, and so the Techawks plan to open their twelve game schedule against Arkansas State, Thursday, December 8. With daily practice the custom, last week, Coach Stenger nourished hopes of getting the varsity in its entirety. Due to injuries, meetings and what- not, the coach had yet to see the full team on the floor. However practice sessions have shown results although the first scrimmage didn't show up as well as expected. Lloyd Norkus joined Johnny Eg— gets on the sick list when he found that the knee he hurt in touchhall wouldn’t hold up, and at the doctor’s advice took a week’s rest from prac- tice. He however, rejoined the squad: early last week and is catching up with the rest of the follows. The other casualty, Johnny Eager-s. has had the bandage removed irom his nose and expects to work out this week al- though 'he will not be able to scrim- magc for a short time. Two weeks ‘ugo saw the first cut-1 ting of the squad and about/ton men were dropped. The remaining new— comers are still fighting hard for the I few open positions on the squadIPres- ent developments show "low outstand- ing player-a among’thc'ncwm'en, but the coach is 'confident'he can develop at least one or two possibilities. Co-Captain Swanson has expressed his pleamrc With thc‘progross of the! squad amid ‘tliinks the team is coming‘ around in good shape. It might be said for Ed ‘that'he and Bill Séhercr are, perhaps, the'hest conditioned pair of athletes on the floor. fiwimmerr .ITIII'I'I @Ell‘i‘; ”To grout Time "Trials?

'A meetingr of the swim-‘ mers was held ‘last Tuesday. , Announcing that the first meet‘ will soon be held, and that probably with George Williams late in Decem~ her, manager Roy Burman warned the men to start their time trials. Fortunately, most of last year’smen have returned, and along with the veterans are several promising new- comers. Included in the latest animals to the team are two experienced diwers. Last year it was this event that caused a continual headache to the team. Also there are Tarnowsky, :a backstroke man. and Heidenreich, who will do the longer distances Coming back for their fourth year of competition will be Ray Dodge, Cap‘ tain Winhlad, and ‘Vic S'vag'dis. These three have accounted for most of the points in all previous meets. With all of the «vents seemingly now in competent hands, Armour should put out a strong team when the first meets are held. The squad usually opens its season in Decem- l 0 Power, let s tiara delimit A SPORTS EDITORIAL When the Armour Tech intro-mural delegates convene with those of the University of Chicago this week, they will face a problem more difficult than one of just setting a date. Coordina— tion of Icwo entirely different sets of touchball rules and styles play will be the objective. ' ‘ Whether the Techawks, represented by Tom Clark, Jim Fahey, Harv Rothenberg, and Willy Kruse, will get far with their set of rules is doubtful. The Midway has gone into some research in devising sensible rules which eliminate danger to inequipped and unconditioned players who have little experience in the safe. ty techniques of power blocking. Tech’s legalized murder rules make little attempt to remove unnecessary danger. Because touchball implies touching rather than tackling a runner, Tech’s rule-makers were short-sighted enough to let this theme alone form the backbone of the intra- mural touchball rules. They didn’t see that the entire purpose of such adjustments are to eliminate all forms of body clashing, or power plays which lead to injury. These include not only tackling, but equally block- ing. Tech’ s rules are merely the results of a job half considered, half done. There is a power in Tech's activity board, no less centralized and authorized than in perhaps any other college. In fact, all of this power is vested in the one A.T.S.A. Board of Control. This Is an ideal set-up——one which we would like to favor—~30 long as it produces action. There is nothing to prevent this organization from setting down the rules in black and white. Thorough foresight should be used, however. Provided the Midway board refuses to com- promise (and it should refuse to degenerate into Tech's style of play), the aforementioned delegates will be makingr an inten- sive study of sane rules. If the Board favors conservation of en- ergy, it could use this research to formulate the system for next year’s play—following a bit of inspection by the Board to see that the delegates were not biased in preserving too many of the present rules. Authorization of such 3 rules system would be a great ail-1 vancement in our local intramural rules, which thus far have been characterized only by short-sightedness rand negligence. bodies, the Sensor Chorus maintained their undefeated record by ruinireg the same of their rivals, tithe Junior Elects, 7va last ”Tuesday.

With , the ball in their open territory, the Seniors with Bofhenberg 'on the throwing end unleaded a long pass over the goal line into the waiting arms of Adesz'lzo. The germawinning point was scored a moment later when the Chews were successful in passing over the extra point. Bitter fighting marked most of the play during the second ha‘l‘ffl'l‘he Juicers were striving on every play to batter down their opponents and make a break for themselves.

It was their second victory over the Juicers during last week. Because the Senior Chems were expected to breeze through the final week, the Juicers nevertheless reaped a moral victory. Friday’s entire game saw a slight favor of speed, technique, and fighting spirit among the Juniors, who held and aggressed on their senior foes despite the Chems’ advantage in height and weight. The Chemo bloke the score— less tie toward the close of the game with a beautiful interception and field length run by Harv Rothcnberg. Juicer Trio Shows Fight. For the Chemicals, Rothenhcrg. Kruuc, and Adeszko stood out, but they were no better than Shaver, Rchwaldt, and Oldenburg. It was Rothenbcrg’s run that won the game for the Chums, but a passing combi' nation of Adoszko to Krusc made the Schmicrs a constant threat. For the Elects, their trio showedl more fight, grit and dcterminationn than has been seen on Ogden Field; for a long time. Shaver was hurt. twice during the battle but was still in there at the finish. Oldenburg, completely exhausted by his efforts, had to be taken to the hospital after the game, The Elects weren’t the only ones to suffer. Rothenburg come up with a badly bruised finger. 7l‘hc Chums received the kickofi~ to start the game but because of a hard charging Elect line, couldn't get anywhere. In fact, it wasn’t till late in the first half that either team showed any threat. At the time Adcszko completed a long pass to Krusc that both Old‘ehburg and Ptak touched but couldn’t hold. 1 Maw Chums Checked at (Mar Wu With three downs to make ten‘ yards, thc Chemo were stopped com- pletely and the Juicers took the ball. On the first play Kruse intercepted a bad pass by Rehwaldt but again the Chemo were stopped on the threshold. In the second half, the Juicers ag- gresscd, and a. long pass Rehwaldt to Oldenburg put them in scoring position. They couldn’t gain, how— ever, and on last down, they tried! a pass with five men going out. Reh— waldt was rushed by Jaffee and lsaukson and his pass went short. Rothenrherg took it on the goal line and out—raced Shaver to the other goal line for :1 score. The point was good on a pass Adcszko to Isaakson.
