For over a year, the Seniors have waited for this chance and when they got it they took full advantage-«in fact, to the tune of 13 to 6. The payoff was staged on Ogden Field last Thurs— day noon. This amends for the scoreless tie the two teams played last year and which was the only game the Seniors didn’t win in thcir championship pro- gram. Panscrs Win for Seniors In one of the hardest played games of the year, the Seniors showed that, without a doubt, they were the better team. Their defense was better, the blocking more efficient, but most im- portant, they had better passers. Kruse, Rothenherg, and Adcszko were able to complete Senior passes con- sistently while Carpenter and Sher couldn’t find the Junior receivers. Several times the Juniors shook men into the clear only to see the passes fall short or be intercepted The Seniors threatened to score on the third play of the game when Kruse took a long pass from Rothen— berg but they just couldn't put it over. Near the end of the half, the Seniors started when Adeszko inter- cepted a pass by Norkus. Three plays later and the ball was on the two yard line. Then Kruse started on a wide run around his left end, sucked in the secondary, and passed to Lyck— berg for the score. The play was so perfectly executed they pulled it again for the extra point and the score was 7 to 0 and it stood this way at the half. Fahey to Natinchek Score-l After four minutes of the second half had elapsed, the juniors scored their lone touchdown. Sher passed into the flat to Fahey who eluded Kruse, and raced to the two yard line where Rothenherg caught him. On the next play, Fahey passed to Natinchek deep in the end zone for the score. A similar play failed for the point. The Seniors came back a few plays later for the final tally. Adeszko passed to Lyckberg who was canght in midfield by Norkus, Kruse then dropped back and threw a long pass to Rothenberg who dived into the cinv Wrestlers Promise Successful Season Promising a good record for the year is the returning mat squad head— ed by Captain Tullgrcn. As yet not a large number of meets have been arranged definitely, but many con- tacts have been made. Wheaton, which always presents a strong’ team, will furnish the opposi— tion in one meet, but there will be no return engagement. Morton Junior College will be met twice again this year. A meet with the Case School of Ap- plied Sciences in Cleveland, Ohio, is being strongly considered. If the meet can be put within the budget, the boys will travel to Cleveland. ln the spring the team will enter the sec— ond annual VVheaton Invitational tourney. The definite date for the opening of the season hasn‘t been set, but it will probably be in the first week of December. The team will be strong this year due to the fact that there were few men lost by graduation. Till, a co- op, will return in the 123 pound class. Ropek, this year’s manager, will be in there throwing them as. well. Han» as. is back at 145 pounds. Kazmierowicz and Tullgren, cap— tain, will work at 165 and 175, re. participants. The firemen set up anl spectively. Balsewick will return to the heavies. in addition to the re- turning regulars, there are some promising recruits who will press the more experienced men for their positions.

Grunwald dots to make a beautiful catch for the game clinching touchdown. After this the juniors made only one serious threat, that being on a long pass from Sher to Fahey which Rothcnbcrg just barely managed to knock down. SENIOR MECHS TIE 6-6 Meeting stiff resistance from a fighting and shifty Junior Electrical team, the Senior Mochs were just able to tie the score at 6 all last Fri- day. As a result of this tie, both teams remain in the tourney. Because of the speed shown by the flashy juicers, the Mechs were held at bay. Except for a few instances, the fight settled about the middle stripe, with both teams fightingr at a draw. At one time during the first half the Elects had worked the ball up to the ten yard line of the Mechs. Here the bail changed hands, and the Seniors were at ease once more. Drawing first blood in the second half were the Elects, who worked the ball up to the 15 yard line of the seniors. Then a quick toss to Shaver rang up the juictrs’ sole six points. Within a very few minutes, the Mechs had gained control of the ball and preceded to attack the Elects’ goal. Millar then spirallod a long: pass to Clark in the end zone for the tying count. The try for the extra point was smeared by Shaver and Oldenburg. For the remainder of the game both teams tried for breaks and Oldenburg nearly intercepted a dangerous flat pass that might have meant the winning points. How- ever the game was over, and the Junior juicers had to be satisfied with a 6-6 tie. JR. MECHS QUELL SOPHS Presenting a strengthened team with the return of Jack Clark, the Junior Mechs whitewashed the Sophomore Rlechs 19—0 last Thursday. : It was the first defeat for the Sophs. At the end of the first half the Juniors had built up a 13-0 lead. A long pass from Clark to Wolniak counted for the first touchdown, while a run by Wolniak from midfield to the Soph‘s 2 yard line placed the ball ‘in scoring position for the second touchdown. A short pass from Wol— niak to Laskcr made the score 13-0. During the second half the Sophs awakened and put up an offensive fight that carried them to the four yard line. Here the Juniors held and regained possession of the ball. Half- way through the half the Juniors again relied on Clark to heave a did. This completed the scoring in the 19-0 rout of the Sophomore Mechs. ‘ SOPH FEREMEN WEN 19-14 Playing in the Ogden “dust bowl” last Friday, the Soph Fire Protc ts overwhelmed a speedy Soph Electri. cal team, 19-6. Because of the great sportsmanship shown by Capt. Mat— thews of the juicers, both teams played with equal but reduced num- ors. Being a crucial game. both teams havingr already lost one game, the game was played very hard by all early lead of 13 points and kept out i in front for the rest of the game. Using the short pass as their best weapon, the actuarials quickly ad- vanced to the Eloct’s goal line. A short pass from Sweeney to DoMoney touchdown pass, which he promptly‘ scored the first six points for the Fire Protects. Again Sweeney passed to Zoellncr for the extra point. Soon after the firemen were on the loose again; this time, last down found them nearly midfield. Then a long pass from Sweeney to DoMoney in the end zone brought the Fire Pro- tects total to 13. However the juicers came right back, although having to be content with the running of Mat- thews. Matthews raced around right end from midfield to the two yard line, from where he ran the ball over. On almOst the same sort of play Mat- thews scored the extra point. Again the firemen started to pass, and this time a short pass from Sweeney found Zoellner in the clear waiting with open arms. He then scurried across the goal unscathed. The final touchdown for the Electri- cals came as a result of a nice run by Matthew: to midfield. From there he threw a long: pass to Carrier, who made a Spectacular catch and ran over for the six points. Soon after Matthews passed to Bucko for the extra point, the game ended. l FLOOGIES BEAT SOPl-li CHEMS Trucking down the field, thrice the Flat-Foot Floogics came through to defeat the Sophomore Chemicals, 18- ’l‘he magnitude of the score, h0W< ever, is a poor indicator of the true events of the game since two of the scores came on interceptions of the ()hems’ passes. Early in the game saw a quick pass, McDonough to Bell, who reversed his l field and ramped over the last stripe : for first blood. The try for the ex- ‘ tra point was broken up by an alert chem secondary. Another tally was chalked up e' ly in the second half when ’l‘atg’e intercccpted a Schmicr pa s with an open field in front of him. The third score also was made on an interception but again the ex- tra point was broken up when the re~ ceiver dropped the pass. Getchell Decision llecalls Schommer—Southem flail. Notre Dame defeated Carnegie Tech 7-0 two weeks ago last Saturday after a John G‘etchell incident which made more history for football than . perhaps all the other games of that ‘day put tog-ether. When the game hinges on the rcf’s mistake and deci- , sion as well as on the breaks of the l name, it is long remembered. 1 It takes mistakes to make a referee and even our own John Schommer, an established referee, admits he has not been exempt from them. . . . Take the Southern CaliforniavNotre Dame game played in Soldiers’ Field some ten years back. With a Southern Cal pass sailing into the end zone, the Notre Dame halfback ran with the ball ten feet before dropping it and thus prevent— ing; according to our John, backed up by official Walter Eckersall, the l interception and safety which would lhave given Cal the victory by one point. A quotation by one of Arch Ward's contribs in the Tribune shows how such an incident is recalled. “Good old Notre Dame! Still the best twelve man team in football!

Look at inter—fraterni» ty touchball; the Delta and Rho Delta go to the finals again. If the Delts win, and the odds are with them, then it’s 100% rating for the adage. Time alone will tell the tale (to mu— sic). w m i4 The senior mechs have been ac- cused of playing a super-selected schedule in the current tournament, and consequently enabled to classify/l themselves in company they’re not entitled to mingle with. basketball Squad Hus lily Turnout lilac for Long Scrimmage; timers inflated Although already handicapped by one injury, and the three day prac— tice session, Coach Stranger is rapid» 1y drawing his charges into physical shape. So last has been the condi- tioning that the veterans have already had a short scrimmage with a longer one due in the immediate future. Despite the fact that hard scrim— maging has yet to appear, one main. bar has been removed from practice temporarily. Johnny Eggers suffer— ed a broken nose as a result of con- tact with O’Connor’s elbow. The ac- cident occurred during a mass meet— inp: under the basket. O’Connor jumped for the hall and as he was coming down he met Johnny coming- u p. The turnout, which was only nine- teen in number the opening nigh t, has increased to about thirty and the in- crease has slowed up the progress made the first two nights. However with the coming of scrimmage will come the cutting of the squad and then the team will get along much faster, Work is still being done on the schedule which includes two open dates. Coach Stenlger is endeavoring to get another game or two in the Coliseum, especially against Ripon or Beloit if possible. Negotiations, how- ever, are proceeding slowly and no anouncement will be definitely made for the next two weeks.

The former has a record of two wins and one tie while the Juicers have the same number of wins with two dead- locked games. Both of these teams as well as the Junior Chems are still very much in the battle foo first place. but the Mcchs are jeopardizing their chances this week by meeting the champion seniors. Mocha use Novel Defense The, Mechanicals present an inno- vation in the touchball tournament this year in that they always have three men rushing, and sometimes four. The strategy of this seems to he in rushing the passer so that he can't get off a flood pass to poten- tial receivers. To back up those rushing tactics, the Mechs play their two best pass defenders in the buck— field, they being Clark and Vande- kicft. The Electricals, on the other hand, depend on offense more than defense. The passing of llohwaldt and Olden- burg and the receiving: of Danny Sha— vcr are their main weapons, and so far these been sufficient to carry them through undefeated. This week the Juicers will again play the Senior Mochs whom they tied last week. ha v o Tough Week for Seniors An interesting: point arises from this week’s schedule. The Senior Mechs are very much in danger of being eliminated within two days. It is practically a cm‘tainty that the Senim~ Choms will beat them and if the Mochs.
