Tuesday, September 27, I938 Vandekiett Repeats Dad’s Track Career ny EUGENE WORCESTER Richard Vandckieft, president of the Armour Tech Student Associa— tion, is considerably more than a chip olf the old block. Some twenty odd years ago his father was Armour’s outstanding track star, and, it is ru- mored, displayed his prowess in the discus, shot, and now extinct hammer throw before chh’s domestic maid- ens. Times have changed, the maid— ens have left, and a new student union is slowly rising, but the Vande~ kicft spirit is still alive at Tech. Dick Vandckieft is best known for Steam Shovel l “ABE" ZAREM, of all people. What has he done now?

Upon the intramural manager falls the main responsibility for the carrying out of the broad intramural program which is offered here at Armour. l Clark has been prominent in the school’s activities ever since he trans» ferred here in his sophomore year. Last year he was boxing champ in the 160 pound class in the school's intra- mural boxing tourney and and is cap- tain of this year’s boxing: team as well. He contributed voluminous works to the Cycle in the capacity as sports editor for that publication. At present he is serving as assistant sports editor of the Tech News. Last spring he was appointed to fill one of the eight Junior Marshal positions for the Junior Week activities. Tom's duties will be to arrange all the schedules and keep all the rec- ords of interclass and interclcpart-i mental sports and to provide olfi-l cials for the various games. As in-l tramural manager, he will also be in charge of inter-fraternity sports in the some manner. ‘ Git-rhe—Sbeli kuica l to Face Returning } 2 AREA. boardroom i l laden l shelf of last year’s A.T.S.A.

Again the intramural contest will be divided into a freshmen's tourney and a sophomore and upperrlassmcn’s tourney. The winners in each di— vision will meet to decide the school champion. The names of those who are to be in the tournament should be given to either Nick Natinchck or Prof. Col— vcrt, who is the tennis team's coach and adviser for the tournament. The first matches will be played Thurs- day, with the completion of the tour» namcnl. in a few weeks. It is from this tournament that new men are noticed, and picked to fill vacant positions on the tennis team. However, only one man, Joe Kubic, was lost, and the future of the team looks very bright. l Returning- to this year's team are, Ed Swanson, captain in ’35; Nickl‘ Natinchek, present captain; Bobl Lance, and Ralph Wagner. {,9 .

Senior balln‘ien mull Strong at Practice It seems that the seniors are out to capture a few scalps in the in- tramural clashes. Friday they were out a group that resembled skeleton team, but those present showed plenty of zip and energy. “Slugger" Moculeski looked good in the field and is slated to cover the hot corner for the contests. Present indications as to a line-up have Adesko in left field, Rothenberg‘ at second, Ralph ’l‘ullgren guarding: the Mission Windows in center, Max Ep- hriam at short, and Eric Isakson do- ing his watch on the right field wall. “Flea-power” Lyckbcrg is holding down the initial suck in smooth l'orm with but one exception — that being: his intimate contact with the two rav- enous hounds adjacent. to first base. He’s not so smooth when it comes to pulling Frank Buck stull‘. Willy Kruse, the 'l‘cchawk's star hurler will perform at the other end of the line as catcher with Bill l’cnn putting them across in real style. As Captain Kruse divulged, the team claims to have corrected most of its mistakes and is all set for a Yankee oll'cnsive as well as an air—tight (lea l'cnsc. Incidentally, the boys broke four war clubs, and in View of this it can be concluded that the seniors really; mean business. i n a. list Sport Woods for flaming Your For the convenience of the stu- dents, the sports staff offers the fol- lowing; list of managers and captains of Armour’n sports for the season of 1938—39.

Bit,r Run being: one of the most dili’i- cult and hilly public lec courses in the Chicago area, the expected higher scores were not helped any by the strong- northerly winds that swept the 135th and Archer Avenue vicinity. Associate coach, Bill Ahern, carded the lowest score of the day with an ill in the morning, and then in the face of stronger afternoon Winds docketed an 88 for a low 169. Ralph Schmal, team man, had sec- ond low score and total with an 85- 8.9, while Johnny Fox scored an 87 and Melvin Kori-ell an 89, also mema born of the golf team. Al Bredlau appeared the most promising of the new men, and will undoubtedly make the team. He scored 88-90, and came in on the 45th green with an additional 4]. Harry Sieg, another i'rosh, like- wise appears promising. After a morning of 95 strokes, he carded an 86. Another fresh, Rusanowski, pulled in an 86, following a morn— ing: at Elli.
