Page Four Wrestlers Finlsh Wm Seven oi‘ Show Periecr Record on Home Mar By Floyd Anderson its is .. ~ . WWW In a schedule filled With bruismg battles and formidable foes, the Tech wrestlers were able to come through with a 7-4 record for the season. During the process of build- ing up this record, the tusslers ran up a total of 193 points while sur- rendering 165 points to their oppon- ents. An idea of the strength of the opposition can be obtained by a glance over the schedule which in- cluded bouts with Wheaton, Casu, Purdue, and Delialb, all strong op- ponents. This year’s team, under the guid- ance of Captain “Buss” Tullgren, started off the season on the right foot by overpowering Morton Junior College 26-10. Traveling to Wheaton for their second meet, the wrestlers met one of the strongest teams in the middle West and went down to a 28-6 humiliation. Despite the large score, the matches were all close and several could have gone either way. Lose at Purdue Defeat again hit the team when they traveled to Purdue. Here they wrestled under the point system in- stead of the customary time advan- tage and were defeated 27‘ to 5. Win- hing ways were once more resumed when the Techawks returned to their own gym and trounced Morton with a 34% to 1% score. The Morton vic- tory was by far the most overwhelm- ing one enjoyed by the Institute this year. Loss No. 3 was the result of the trip to DeKalb which saw Captain Tullgren at the helm.

Start Streak at Herzl Starting with a 24% to 7% tri— umph over Herzl, the Techmen started a string of four straight wins before taking their final loss of the season against Case. Following the Herzl meet, the matmen avenged their previous heating by Purdue by nosing out the Boilermakers, 19V; to 14% ‘m the Armour gym. Fifteen of the Armour points were the re- sults of pins. Since revenge seemed to be in the matmcn’s hearts, they overcame De— Kalb, 17-13, in the second meeting between the schools. Many anxious moments were spent before the meet was won with a decision by Harrison through time advantage. Team Splits to Split Due to the fact the Culver and Case meets had to be run on the same day, Coach Weissman split his squad into “A" and “B” groups. The “B” team was successful in its inva- sion of Culver, winning 1743, but the “A" team encountered the tough- est opposition of the season in their match with Case. The Cleveland men showed too much power and buried their visitors under a 24% to 9V; avalanche. The Techmen finished their sea son with their seventh win whicn was scored at the expense of the Herzl outfit, 23-9. Outstanding among the grapplers this year was Till, 121, who was de- feated only once and that time at Purdue. Captain Tullgren was an- other to enjoy a successful season. winning a majority of his bouts. Kaz— mierowicz became more proficient as the season advanced and along with Hanna will form the nucleus of lien. year’s team. Tough gasses; Eleven Matches .lr. Chains Picked As Team To Beat in $oitboil Meet Although softball is still weeks away, preparations have already been started for the opening of the annual intramural tournament which has of late become the main item in the line of intramural activities. Be— cause of the interest in this tourney and for the purpose of giving the students an idea of what to expect when the fight starts, this column will for the next few weeks present a summary of the teams which we be- lieve will be on top when the chips are counted and cashed in. The first team to be placed under the microscope will be the runner- ups in last year’s tournament, the present Junior Chemicals. It was the Chemicals of ’38 who won the last game from the surveyed team, emcrg» ing with a 6-4 decision. Kramer Takes Over This year the chemicals will be almost completely revised including the management. Jesse Kramer, as- sistant in the bookstore, has agreed to take over the schmiers and to guide them through the coming sea- son. Jesse will succeed Jim Fahey at the helm of the previously unman- ageable chems. According to Jess, the probable lineup is still very much undecided as he has, as yet, not had a chance to look over the new material that is sure to show up with the an» nouncemcnt of the new manager. The new manager is expecting a turnom of about twenty men when he calls them out for the first prac— ticc. Three Positions Set Despite Jesse's reluctance to dis» cuss his team, several positions can be marked down as certain, among them first base, shortstop, and pitch- cr. At first Lloyd Norkus is set for more than one reason. In addition ARMOUR TECH NEWS l'l'ennis Team Calls For Candidates This Week With an early spring in the ofl‘ing‘ and a heavy schedule to be faced, Armour’s tennis team, under Manager Harold Anthon and Captain Nick Natinchek, is making plans for an early start of the pro—season practice sessions. Indoor practice at the 108th Engineers Armory is scheduled to begin next week and it is during these practices that the new men will be given their chance to make the squad. All students who are interested in trying to win a place on the team have been requested to register in the bookstore, giving their name, year, and experience, if any. It is essential that this information be in Manager Anthon’s hands by the end of this week so that arrangements may be made for the use of the courts. Definite announcement of the start— ing time will be published on the bul- letin board in the lobby of the Main Building. This year the new men will have to oust veterans from the team as only one man was lost by graduation, that being Joe Kubic. Returning to com— pets for the black and gold will be in addition to Captain Natinchek, Ed ‘Swanson, last year’s captain, Lange, and Wagner. Last year, this squad finished a twelve game schedule with a record of eight wins, three losses, and a tie. great dislike for the outfield and the consequent walk from the hinterland. At short, Nick Natinchek is ex- pected to hold out despite a weak bat. Natinchek has consistently been the best fielding shortstop in the tourna- ment and he’ll be moved only if his ability is needed elsewhere. 0n the mound for the chemicals will again he Jim Fahcy who has pitched but two losing games in tour— nament ball in the past two years, one being last year’s final. However Jesse isn‘t counting on Fahcy alone but expects plenty of help from Sher, Kalnin, and Doolittle during the course of play. Despite good fielding and a formid- able pitching staff, Herr Kremer be~ licves it will be the power at the hat to his ability at first, Nork has n that will bring the team through to Wrestlers Entered in genital Add}. Armour Tech has entered a full team of grapplers in the Central A.A.U. wrestling championships, which this year are sponsored by the Daily Times of Chicago. This meet will close a very successful season in which the team has gone through a tough schedule and won seven out of eleven matches. Weighing in and pairings for the wrestlers will be in charge of A.A.U. officials and will take place during the early part of this week. Fighters in all divisions will tee off in the pre— liminaries on Thursday and Friday and the survivors tussle in the quarter-finals on Saturday, March 25. Techawk Coach Weissman has sent in entries for Captain Tullgren, Kazmicrowicz, Balscwick, Wolniak,, Butkus, Nigrelli, Hanna, and Till. Others are McDaniel, Ropek, Harri- son, and Wagner. At least three of the Armour men are expected to place high in the final A.A.U. rankings, Tullgren, 1(87.‘ mierowicz, and Till heading the possible winners in their respective weight classifications. Armour will enter the competition in the McKinley Park arena this Friday. Despite their fine record, the Tochawks aren’t expected to walk off with titles due to the severe compe- tition presented in this tournament annually. With the conclusion of the A. A. U. affair, three Techawks will have completed their college careers as McDaniel, Ropek and Captain Tul1_ gren are due to graduate. the finals again. In I’etri and Sher, the chems have two of the hardest hitters in the school. During the past summer school tournament, Sher hit Machinery Hall consistently while Petri peppered the baseball screen in right field. Norkus, Grigas, Cultra, Pub], and Meyer make up the rest of as dangerous a list of swing-- era as has faced any Armour softball pitcher, so despite their tendency to blow up when the chips are down, mark down the Junior Chemicals as the team to beat. (Next Woelo‘Sr. Electricals) Wednesday, March 22, l939 grammars Wimtflili'lflld literal Twice in West; Win dfimgd, Then dbl—El After two heartbreaking defeats by the hands of Bradley and DePauw, Armour again found the winning trail by decisively whipping I-Iorzl Jr. Col— loge at the west sider’s pool last Tues— day afternoon. The score was 42-24. Herzl, led by Dash. a free styler and breaststroher of considerable merit, proved to be easy victims for the engineers. While keeping the west» siders to gathering; but two first places, both won by Dash, Armour snatched the remaining five blue rib- buns. Relay Team Winn Again With the relay team taking a quick load, they easily captured the first event of the afternoon. Then Dash showed his wings to Stowell and took one of Herzl’s few first places. Dependable Dodge again came through by leading the pack, with Pettes close on his heels through the five lengths of the 100 yard free. For an innovation, the 60 yard back stroke was swum instead of the customary 100 yard distance. However, Blume found the way easy, and went on to win with DeMoney taking an easy second. As is his usual custom, Ray Dodge won the 220, but not being pressed at any time, it took almost 3 minutes for the 11 lengths. To and up the runaway meet, the medley team of Huxhold, Hutchings, and Rademachor lapped their opponents while winning in the time of 1213.6. Summaries at Herzl: mo YD.

This last meet of the year was held in Bartlett pool last Thurs- day night. ' Swimming for the last time for Armour was Capt. Winblad, who continued his brilliant leadership, a reputation that he had establisheo during his freshman year. By winning from Herzl, the Tech- ster’s made a season’s record of '7 wins and 5 losses. Armour took all but one first place last Thursday night. Dash, a startling good breast- strolier, managed to outswim Bell very rapidly. His time of 1:10 was the best time of the year for the 100 yard breast stroke. Experic nee Little Trouble N one of the events were close. The relay team won by a length while the medley team also lapped their opponents. As usual, Talcott and Blume matched strokes for about three lengths. However, Blume hit up a faster pace and pulled ahead to break 1:13 for the 100 yard back stroke. Winblad was a leading factor in the team's winning of both of the relays, while Potters took two finals. After laying dormant for the first three lengths in the 100 yard free, Pettes threw off his water wings and sprinted to overtake Anderson at the finish. He also beat out Dash in the 40 yard free. 160 YD. RELAY: Won by Armour. (Anderson. lecgnuchcr. Huxhold. Winhlad). Time, 1:24. . 100 YD.
