Freshmen are inclined to view this situation without due respect, for they associate Partner with Buddy, which is someone of whom to borrow hall" a buck till Wednesday. This is wrong since a partner is distinctly the last guy in the world to borrow something off of as whatever the quantity is he will probably decide to keep it as just payment for that beaker which you broke a year ago last Tuesday, It starts out easily enough. Onc saunters into a lab and is greeted with the information that it is the custom to work with a partner. A friend is chosen. This is the proper point to raise your voice with his in‘ a dolcful rendition of Auld Lang, Syne, for beyond a shadow of a, doubt it will be the last friendly, word you will exchange with him.i After picking the sacrifice you turnj on him and snarl bitterly: “You write the next three experiments; it’s about time you did some work around here. ‘” This will launch the whole business into the clear air of mu tual reelimination which will exist for some th1ec years. You could change partners, but with-advancing years one withdraws his foot from the grave and reflects that true friends are 1a1e too rare to sacri- fice as Partners. The firmest foundation for a good partnership is an equal distiihution of work. If the Partner cuts lab one day you cut it the next. Of course if he also cuts that day, then, since he is one ahead of you, you cut twice more. This creates a most unfortunate situation since the whole thing rapidly resolves into an infinite series. 1' l With careful book keeping it is possible to finish a course. The dire results of a miscalculation are repre~ sented by the sad case of two Part- ners who attended class for a solid year and spent the time staring mournfully at. the locker because they had lost count of which one had last opened it. A direct order must cradled 111 Expose Qt Partnership Tactics; Friends Moum never be given a procedure is to glance into the manual and announce vaguely, “Hm, I see it calls for a calorimeter here,” whereupon both members shuffle their feet in a manner which to the very innocent would suggest that each was about to spring up, and after it. Eventually one will tire and get it. Of course the hardened partner will merely respond with a definitely sour, “Well, why ’uncha get it‘! Yuh lazy?” If one is adept at taking six read-- ing‘s at thirty second intervals, work alone by all means. All a partner gives is a faculty at debate and a tense of martyrdom. partner. The Delis Polish Team For Title fielense Touchball followers are speculating as to whether Delta Tau Delta will devour the inter-fraternity title again this year. One thing is certain, lhowever, and that is whichever way the tide turns, it will be tough sled— ding all the way. All the contenders have been out for extensive drill in order to have polished six-man com- binations. This week the 1938 tilts will get under way and, although the exaCt times have not been agreed upon, the iespective houses will work it out The following are the pairings as 1eleased by Clay De\lent, the inter- fraternity schedule statistician: Del- ta Tau Delta vs. Theta Xi; Phi Pi Phi vs. Phi Kappa Sigma; Pi Kappa Phi vs. Triangle; and Rho Delta Rho vs. Sigma Alpha M11. The men to watch are many this iyear, but a few of the stellar con!» lbinations might be mentioned, such ‘ as Vandekieft and DeMent, Tullgren and Ransel, Giovan and I—Iruda, the lHeidenreich brothers, Rothsnberg and Epstein, Fisher and Sclilifke, Loutzenheiser and Sweeney, and the Clark brothers, Jack and Tom. not admit women in the ncbool oi" ARMOUR TECH NEWS 1Favorites Emerge . Four Touchbu {domes Played Senior ghems ’39 giviis, Last Tuesday saw the fiist kick- (1”? made, the first touchdown scored, and the first game won.The1ef01el Trample l9-tl the annual touchball toulncy is un- der way, and so are the seniorI chums. ‘ On that day, the champs tangled with the senior civils and for one half looked like the junior chems. Their passes didn’t click, their runs didn’t get them anywhere and their defense was just adequate. In the second half, however, things changed. Rothcnburg’s passes fell into waiting arms while Kruse was continually getting clear. Time alone stopped the avalanche that ran up a score of 19- 0. For the chcms, Adcszko and Kruse stood out as ball handlers while Ryan and Moculcski literally rushed the civils oil" their feet. In the course of the game, the chems revealed a play that is des- tined to be a bumding'er. Adeszko behind perfect blocking started a run around his own right end. Af- ter traversing fifteen yards parallel' to the scrimmage line, he later-alcd to Rothenburg, who flipped a long pass to Kruse, the latter having worked behind the adversaries. This play has numerous possibilities in evolving into a complicated set. However, all glory doesn’t belong to the chcms, for the civils displayed by far the best man on the field. Buzz Tulgren showed the chums more touchball than they’ll see again . this year and had he had a little more support might have beaten‘ them out. JUNIOR ClVlLS WIN After a terrific battle of brown against brawn, and speed speed, the junior civils emerged vic— torious in the game last Wednesday lwith the senior fire protecteI by :1 name of 1343. At the beginning, it was apparent that both teams were evenly matched. Neither team made much headway during: the first minutes of play. Toward the end, Rogue of the firemen showed his heels to the civils and scampered almost half of the field behind perfect blocking of his teammates. Only 11 short time later Swanson spiraled a short one to Finnegan for the fire protects’ only score of the game. During the first half both teams charged and blocked hard, but the fire protects had the edge in of- fensive and defensive play. In the second half, the civils came to life and rompcd over the firemen. The civile worked a series of passes that brought the ball in the shadow of the senior’s goal, from where Rockelman passed to Mack- ey for a touchdown. On another, pass the point after touchdown waa‘ made. After a futile try by the fire pro— tects for the tying points, the civils gained the ball on their own goal line. On a long pass from Jaedtke to Weber, who had worked back of Swanson, the clinching points for the civils were scored. It was this type of play that disheartened the seniors, for it was characterized by the hard blocking of the civils. SOPH FIREMEN WIN, 7—6 Charging fast and furious at an aggressive freshman team, the soph fire protects hung up their firut vic- tory by beating the fresh 7-6 last Thursday at 2 p.111. After receiving the first kickoff, the “Short Pants” assumed control of the play, and before the sophs could get their wind back from the kickoff, the fresh had marched up the field on consecutive power rum ning plays. However, with their goal threatened, the firemen braced the defense and took the ball on downs. Thus the battle raged, the frosh using; their running attack as their against ‘ best weapon, the sophs relying on the toe of Dick Larsen. In the mid l dle of the half the flesh sneakedl over a touchdown on a short pass} and a 1un.Ag‘a1n the the protects, held and the pass for the extra point‘ was batted down.

During the week of the first, prac» tice will be called on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. The following week the cagers will prance over the hardwoods on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. On November 14 the boys will get down to business in earnest; practic< ing from then on until the beginning of the season which will be around the first of December. The major monogram men return» ing this year are Henriksen, Norkus, Scherei', and Swanson, while those men holding minor letters who will return are Hofman, Janicck, and Lurz. In addition the following freshman cagemen are coming back: Fisher, Futtcrer, Johnson, Leave, Lcskiw, Petersen, Shapiro, and Whitehead. Also in the turnout will be mem- bers of last year’s squad, Sher, Eg‘ gers and Johnson. At present the schedule for the season isn’t available due to the ef« forts of Coach Stenger to obtain outstanding games. However the schedule is sure to include Detroit, Wheaten, Elmhurst, North Central, and Chicago. With the returning lettermcn Coach Stenger expo-eta to build a team that can better, by far, last 'year’s record of 4 victories and 11 defeats, As usual, practices will be held in the 108th Engineers Armory at 35th and Wentworth.

However, on the play, a whintlc was blown as Sweeney pltchcd the bull to Lanue. That, claimed the fresh, was the reason the touchdown was made. After much urgucing on the part of the froslh, play was: resumed and im- mediately Sweeney threw a short one, to Zollner in the end zone lo)" the winning and extra point. in the second half the sophs light- ened up their defense and started an offense that rolled the fresh over to their own goal line. Several times the aophs threatened the fresh goal, only to have a mix~up of signal spoil the chances for another goal. As the outcome of the game became more apparent, the fresh started to throw pauses which proved to be easy in- tcrccptancc meat for the soph HEC- ondary. Just as the discouraged fresh trotted in from another unsuc- cessful try at passing, the game ended. This game has been protested be— cause of the blowing of the whistle at the time of thc soph touchdown. The appeal will be considered by Tom Clark and his intramural board. JUNIIOR ELECTS BEAT SOPHS Lasi Fiiday, the soph juiccrs chopped a close game to the juni01 juiceis by the score of 13- 6. Both teams were evenly matched, and the score mic'ht have read just the op- posite. However, the breaks of the game seemed to favor the juniors, and the juniors took advantage of the fact. Shaver and Oldenburg were the junior standouts, while Boznak, Matthews and Franzene were the bulwark of the soph team. It was the hard rushing of Shaver and Rehwaldt that offset the effects of the sophs occasional advances. Although Matthews at several times broke loose for 1',uns he didn’t g'ct the backing necessary to get loose for the tallies needed. Rehwaldt’s pass to Shavei in thel end zone gave the score that put the 1 game on ice late in the last half The 'y for point on a 1"eveise to Shaver failed by a void.

Practice started two weeks ago and the initial workout brought out twenty-two now men in addition to fifteen veterans. However, the vets were immediately excused so that “Sonny" might show the newcomers the essentials of the sport. He was assisted in this by Captain Tullgren and George Hanna. An inspection of the individual records for last year brings out the pos 'b1liticn :lor this year’s outfit. Captain Tullgrcn has the best record of the returning lcttermen although not 21 whole lot better than Kazmicr- owicz or Till, “Buzz" won six bouts while losing one.

These three with the aid of Hanna and McDaniel will form the nucleus of a squad that should be among: the best in Armour history. The high spot in the schedule, for the wrestlers will be the. A. A.
