In their first appearance of the
year, the Tech swimmers will make
their debut on January 11 at Loyola.
Last year the ’l‘echawks won the re-
turn meet with the north side school
after losing the first by a very tight
score.

Three days later, the Cardinals
from Naperville will travel to Bart-
lett pool in a revengel‘ul mood, for
last year Armour dealt North Cen-
tral two defeats. Nevertheless, Caps
tain Winblad is confident that the
team, strengthened by the fine show
of several new divers, will repeat and
again win. A. return match with
North Central is schedulcl on Feb.
11 at the Naperville pool.

Perhaps the brightest, if not the
most enjoyable time, in the incl-men’s
schedule, appears on January 21. For-
getting the ensueing exams for a
week-end, the boys will travel down
to Greencastle, Ind. There the old
rival, DePauw, will lie in waiting,
hoping to score anotllcr victory over
the Techawks. Last year, the Indi-
ana school boys wallopod the Tech
swimmers twice by fair margins.

Armonr’s ’38 version of a basket
ball quintet won a game and distinc-
tion last Thursday by finally heat-
ing a stubborn Arkansas State team,
37-34. The distinction was that Coach
Stcngcr’s boys were the first North-
ern team that had not scored at least
60 points against the already scalaped
Indians.

Although the Techawks barragcd
their opponents back board with shot
after shot, they met with little suc-
cess in putting the ball through the
hoop. Ed Swanson was the most

points to his credit, five goals and
live free shots. 0”Connor followed
up with eight marks, while Baldwin,
uted All‘Statc forward, led the
ors with nine points.

   

Keller Hoops Long Shots

Arkansas jumped into a four point
lead before the echo of the starting
gun had died down. By virtue of
gift shots and two goals, the score
was tied at eight all in the middle
of the quarter. Armour’s defense
stopped momentarily the visitors’ fast
breaking style of play. However, the
(lead-eyes from beyond the Mason-
Dixon line kept their score piling up
mainly by swishing long ones through
the hoop from mid-floor. Keller
seemed to excel in this art.

For a brief period during the sec-
ond quarter the chhawks started to
click. Sliwa played dead man under
the basket and sunk one. Then
Swanny had a streak and bounced
two in succession through the hoop.
However, sloppy ball handling
stalled the Tech machine, and the
tempo slowed down. Metzlcr man-
aged to make the score 20-18 just as
the half ended.

Plagued by Refereeing

Plagued by the curse of home—team
rcfereeing, the Indians never held
the lead for more than a few seconds
during the rest of the game. For a
large part excellent defensive work
by Sliwa and Scherer kept the In-
dians from taking more Tee-hawk
feathers. At the start of the fourth
quarter, after O’Connor had put Ar-
mour again in the lead with a timely
shot, the score was 30-29.

At the start of the final period
Lurz and O’Connor both made field
goals and Armour enjoyed a five
point lead. Then the Statemcn stole
the ball and raced down to Al‘mour’s
basket with only Sliwa barring the
way. Not only did Sliwa stop this.
scoring threat, but also seized the ball
and dribbled up the floor.

From that moment on, Arkansas
was only able to make one free shot.
For the remaining two minutes. in the
game, Armour managed to freeze the
ball, or d the contest ended with Swan-
son holding the bail and Armour
holding down the long end of a 37~34
score.

Armour‘s “pill~box” will be a
scene of fervid activity come 3:30
p.m. Today, as the seniors and
juniors launch the good ship “Inter-
class Basketball.” Long- awaited, this
classic breaks forth for three day of
glory, the finals being played on
Thursday, and then settles back to
await another year. The juniors are
odds on end favorites to take the
seniors into camp, having six mem-
bers on the varsity team who are
eligible. Eligibility is determined by
tradition, and tradition (which con-
sists of nothing" more nor less than
lookingr up in the News files) rc-
venls that only men who have re»
ccivcd basketball awards are ineligL
blc to play on the intcl‘class teams.

Boxing and wrestling are other
school tournaments that are edging
to the fore, and will appear on the
scenes shortly after the new year.

fichommer Announces

Concurrent with the opening,' of the
indoor track season at Armour comes
the announcement by Athletic Direc-
tor Schommol‘ that the annual A!“

March 18 at the University of Chi—
cag'o Ficldbousc. Invitations are now
being sent out.

This will be the eleventh renewal
of this event and as usual 3 success.
ful meet is looked forward to. Last
year the College Division was won by
North Central.

The outstanding,r feature of the
evening- was the marvelous mile run
turned in by Wisconsins crack milcr,
“Chuck” Fennke, who traveled the
distance in 11:08.9 for the fastest in.
door mllc ever run in the midwost.

In the tenth running of this great
show with its galaxy of lsta '1, Armour
did well in gaining two first places.
This year, however, Armour will not
have its gold medal winners back.
since both have left Armour. Alex
Binghnm, who tied the record in the
60 yard dash, has received his BS.
in mechanical engineering, While Cov-
ington, winner in the quarter mile,
has droppcd out of school.

Despite this loss, the Techawks be.
lievc that they can come back and
better last year's results, which were
the best Armour hall reaped in sev—
eral years.

Before an expected crowd of 500
or more Wheaton fans, Armour
chh’s wrestlers go to work tomor-
row night at Wheaton College to even
up an old slcorc and seek their sec—
ond victory in two tries.

Last year Wheaten beat a strong
chhawk squad 204.4 in a close
match, and this year Wheaten Col-
lege again has no team to be under-
estimated for they have been Little
Nineteen wrestling champions for
about the last eight years, and have
not yet given evidence of slackening
down.

The bout tomorrow night is the
first of Wheaton's encounters this
season. It is. not only the first, but it
is the most important for the West
Suburbanitcs.

Expect Crowd of Fang

A crowd of anywhere between 500
to 1,000 people are to be on hand at
7:30 when the doors of the Main Gym
swing wide and the “bone-Climbers"
go to work.

This year the fans have had an op-
portunity to Vll‘W a newcomer to the
Armour Tech in crs. A. l’ocius, a
sophomore, in takingP the place of
Balsowick who has been recently ”)4
jul'cd. Not only is he being thrown
to the lllfl‘l'l,‘ with a minimum of ex»
pcricncc, but he is being- put before
the bi]: liar-rs in the heavyweight (li-
vision.

Last Thursday the team won its
opening: match and the boys dis-
played their skill by cupping six out
of eight events.

The probable entrances for the
bout tomorrow night will he Till at
lZl;Mcllalliclat125;Ropek nt135;
Hanna, 145; Nigrolli, 155; Kazmicrm
wicx, 1613; llnpt. “Buss" Tulllzren at
175; and Pocius in the Heavies.

All the boys are seniors with the
exception of T‘ocius, Hanna and
Kazml-rowicz. Till and Nigrclli are
both (Io-ops.

 

Weinsmnn Reveals Entries

The team, according to its mentor,
Sonny Weillmnn, might use Butkus,
the State champ from Tilden in to-
morrow's 155 pound bout. Material
like this gives Sonny’s boys a {treat
outlook for the next four years.
Those other men who are biting their
nails for the big opportunity are
Thodos at 145; Cole and 023804) at

Judging by last Thursday's perm
l'ormnncc and by the looks of the
men, the Armour "grab and groan”
fans can expect a victory. (Jonah
Weissman remarked however, that
although the boys looked good they
needed more conditioninlz.

No information has been received
on matches with Beloit or Lawrence,
but the much hoped for match with
Purdue has been definitely slated for
January ll, a homo bout for Tech.

Emerging on top both literally and

College squad 2640 last Thursday
night in Tech's opening meet: held
here at Armour.

Losing only two bouts out of nine,
there being an extra exhibition bent
in the 155 pound class, the Armour
grapplers recompensed for last year’s
closing defeat received by a detrained
Tech squad.

Till took his match in the 121 pound
division, carrying the match all the
way for the. full eight minutes. Mc-
Danel, although seeming to have the
advantage most of the way, lost his
grip and was pinned by Vosen in 3:15
minutes.

Next, Ropek at 135 pounds pinned
his luckless opponent in short order.
Then Hanna, tearing into a heavier
gl‘applcr than he, tossed Ptak around
the mat much in the fashion of a
medicine ball, the punishment suc-
