Orcutt and subject to the direc- tion of a student group, which is still to be chosen. This class will con» sist of two groups of dancers. One group will receive instruction as a beginners class, the other will be the advanced group which is especially for students who can dance, but would like to improve their steps along modern lines. The professional instructor, Daniel Stone, who was the instructor for the dance class last semester, will again open the magic bag which con- tains the technique of dancing; to every student in the dance class. Social Science Department To Give More New Courses Several new courses offered this semester by the social science depart-l mcnt are already gaining popularity.‘ A special elective, “business law," of which there are two sections, is given by Professor J. D. Larkin. An ad- vanced course in “time and motion study" is also being offered. In the l evening division the new courses arcl “formal accounting” by Mr. Goctz, “industrial relations" by A. 5. Han- sen, and a four hour course in “timel and motion study“ by Mr. Martinl§ Wibcrg. The department is hoping to give one or two courses in the evening sec-l tion in the near future on “general psychology" and one section later on “applied psychology.” ‘vices by Mrs. J. 1). Carroll and Willl boxers Start Training; To Enter Golden Gloves ! Boxers started their practice for the coming season last night, when Coach Sonny Weissman urged all men interested to turn out, as training will commence immediately for the Golden Gloves. The schedule for the year has not been drawn up as yet, but it is hoped to have several meets during the next few months. As uSUal, this year the boxers will enter a team in the annual Golden Gloves Tourney. Last year a num- ber of Armour‘s mcn met with suc— cess in the tourney. Plans are also being made to hold the intramural boxing tourney before the Christmas holidays, if it can be run oil‘ in this short time. U. of C. Touchhull Champs Floor Tech in Weird Way, 32% Flinging passes right and left and giving an extraordinary exhibition of ball handling, the Chicago Barristers walloped Tech's champions, the Sch- ior Chemo, 32-0 on Stagg Field last Friday. Dccidcdly handicapped by the prohibition of blocking and the pass-anywhere rule, the Chems could only try to minimize the Chicago score at which they weren’t very suc- cessful. Another handicap for the Armour- ites was the loss of Willie Krusc, who had to be withdrawn from the game after two plays. Chicago had the ball on the Armour two yard line and on the first play pulled a pass. Goldberg took it on the one and stepped over. At the some time, Kruse lunged and tagged him with his left hand. As the players contact— ed, Willie's elbow gave and rendered his arm practically useless. The Chicagoans kicked off in the rain to Rothcnberg, who ran it back to the 30 yard line. On the first play Kruse tried to pass the wet ball but Brant of Chicago intcrcepted l and the razzle»dazzlc commenced with the ball ending up on the Ar- mour two yard stripe, from where Goldberg: scored. A few plays later, Adcszko tried a pass but again Chicago’s dcfensej was capable and intercepted. A sow ries of forward passes on the sumc‘ play put the ball on the Armour twol yard marker again, from where, Adams scored on a pass. ‘ From here on it was strictly Chi-l cage with their basketball play daz-l zlinge: the (Shams. The Midwayites‘ got their main advantage in the incx- pcricnce of the chhawks to the Chi- cago rules. Every time the Maroons completed a pass the Chcms would start after the man with the ball, He would immediately pass again to an- other Chicagoan, and the Seniors would he caught flat-footed.

Packed with thrills, spills, undl personal fouls, the tilt didn’t feature any bursts of midsoason form, but it kept a wild audience rooting while O‘Connor, Norlcus, Swanson, Scher- cr, and Sliwn tallied to overcome a staggering lead and snatch victory. chh opened the scoring when Norkus took Swanson’s tip off and boosted it in with no apparent cf- fort. The Teachers, though Out- hcighted man to man, had a neat, fast offense that quickly functioned. Breaking, cutting, and barrnging the Tech back board with accurate long shots, Healy, Mulcahy, King and Joan piled up a considerable margin while the engineers looked on. The game didn’t really start for Tech till after the half time. While the Teachers were sliding around the floor in the second period, Armour scored 21 points against their 11. The team clicked with the whistle, as Nol’kus dropped a pass from Swanson, and O'Connor followed up Sliwu's try to count it. Armour sunk her free throws, and with three min- utes to go, had the score Lied when Schcrcr counted on u puss from Nor- kus and the latter dropped a triplet of free tries. Sliwa fouled n Teach— er, and the score stood at 29-28, against Armour, The latter redeemed himself nobly by tullylng with a per- fect lonp: shot to put Tech perma- nently in the lead at 30-29.

Most im-l pm'tunt, a real team spirit is there with plenty of fight and competition (we saw it in the second half), and the school is behind it 100 per ccnt in the tough schedule ahead. Trackmcn in Mold Meeting This Week With the advent of Christmas and passing of touchbull, the track team has been removed from the moth bulls and examined for speed and stamina. Those desiring a place on the team have been requested to keep close tab on the bulletin board for an announcement of the first meetings, which will be for all aspi— rants, freshmen to seniors, The meeting will be either Tuesday or Wednesday. A tentative schedule includes such teams as Loyola, Elmhurst and North Central. Captain Dick Vandckicf‘c expects a very successful season and a bit of competition with Loyola in the mile.

Those selcc~ tions, except All American, are usual— ly the picks of a very small group of men who have seen most if not all the players at least once, The Tech News has never ad. mittcd the supremacy of the daily papers and to prove this point am nounces that it also has picked on All Star team. which it names in this column. The Tech. News team is not the opinion of one man but a consensus of sixteen persons, consisting of players, officials, and spectators.

A. one point margin win from u tenm that should be definitely our inferiors is nothing to write home about. Armour had a decided edge in height, Swanson getting the tip- oli with no trouble, an advantage for any team. As individuals, Armour’n players were on the whole a clussior looking bunch of ball handlers, mam aging to keep the bull in their poe- scssion for longer periods of time, but not able to score. 1/5 a: m This was especially noted in the matter of (iron throws. it might be a good Man if Swanson, who sunk four out of four of these, took his teammates over on the side some, rainy afternoon and showed them how it’s done. Di! ’1‘ )l‘ O‘Connor, a junior from St. Via- torn and a newcomer to the team, enrncd a starting position on the team. He made the most of his op- portunity at forward with three buckets and four free throws for high point honors. Norkus was next with nine. Sophumow Sliwa accounted for the big-zest two points. of the game when he sank the tally that gave the lead to Armour in the clos- ing; minutes. r.

After four year's of play under our rules, it was almost in- iu just what Senior slinctive for an Armour man to immediately take hot-foo: after the main with the ball. This is fa- tal in a game where any man, no mutter where he is, is eligible to receive a pass and at any time. Terrific as the score nounds, it was ntill a good game, and may lead to Taucliball at Ar- mour in the future. ’l‘ 1!1 something for It is just a matter of getting used to it, and there is no doubt that it makes for less injuries, at big point in its favor. The U, of Cfs rules need not be accepted in their entire ty, but modifications might be adopt~ cd.

Forward passes might be im itcd to some sot number. or perhaps allowed more than oncc only behind the line of scrimmage. mont games several times were ap- proached. Therefore, these judges know the abilities of each player, having; seen him several times. Upperclassmen formed the bulk of the voting body, although five under— clussmcn votes were counted, consc- qucntly the selections were strictly juniors and seniors. Of the twenty- six men who received votes, only two were underclossmcn and each re— ceived one vote. The team named has three mem- bers of the champion Senior Chcms, two Junior Mcchanicals, a Senior Civil, Mechanical, and a Junior Elec- trical. While the original intention had been to select six mcn, a four way tie for the fifth posi on on the team made it imperative to have eight men. Hnrv Rothcnborg, who captained the champions, was almost a unanimous choice, polling fifteen out of the possible sixteen.

Adeszko also can throw accurately and Tom Clark is no slouch on catching them by any means.

Play Lain: Formal Saturday Probable starters for the Indians will be Captain Dub Baldwin and “Cotton" Bushy as guards, Duh Cle- ments and Dorsc Keller, forwards, and Dave Griffin, center. Only three of last year’s men have been lost to the Arkansas aggregation. Starters for the Techuwks will probably be Co-ccptain Ed Swanson, center, Lloyd Norkus and Ed O’Con- nor, forwards, and Bill Schercr and Joe Junicck, guards. Co—cuptain Hen- )‘ikscn may be able to play this; week. Saturday night will find the Ar- mour angers at Lake Forest, where they met tough opposition from the Foresters last year. The Lake F'Ot‘ esters again defeated Tech in the Armory, but. by a closer score, 115-38, Team Hit by injuries Although the basketball season has scarcely gotten under way, Coach Stranger has already seen his squad hit hard by injuries. The hardest blow fell on the team Inst Tuesday, when Co—cnptain I-Icm'iksen and Herb Sher were forced out of practice.
