Bill Grosse, popu- lar third sacker of the Tech team broke his left leg in the fifth in- ning of the game, after running smack into the fence while chas- ing a foul ball. He will be out for the remainder of the season and this leaves a gap in the in- field which will prove very diffi- cult to replace. Bill batted .315 in 1.940, and was batting close to .300 before the accident occurred. Always a consistent fielder, he was one player who could always be counted on to come through in the clutch. Illinois Tech was al- ways proud to have a man of Bill’s quality representing its colors on the athletic field. it in the hope of every Tech student that “Willie” will recover quickly and get back in his “lab" in a hurry. injury Shakes Team Al Dambros, Illinois Tech pitch- er, was leading North Central 6 to 1 before the fatal fifth inning.

North Central scored its only run in six innings in the third on a series of Illinois Tech errors. In the seventh they scored three more on a home run by Wade worth, third baseman, a single by their second baseman, Cooper, and some more Illinois Tech errors. The same procedure was followed in the eighth when another three runs were scored. Only one hit wan made that inning, yet three runs scored due to bad fielding on the part of the Tech team, They managed to get in another run in the ninth inning on a hit by An derson and some more Illinois Tech errors. Out of the eight runs North Central scored. only three were earned. Thrilling End lllinois Tech went into the ninth inning two runs behind. Mueller started all the inning by walking. Pfeffer walked putting men on first and second. Krause singled sharply to right scoring Mueller and putting men on first and third with no outs. Hackbarth struck out. Yureis batted for Gvuetzow, and was ordered to bunt on an attempt to bring Pfeffer home on a squeeze play. As Shatzer the North Central pitcher wound up Pfeffer was half way down to the plate but the hall was thrown into the dirt and Yursis couldn’t get a piece of it and Pfeiffer slid right into the catcher’s mitt which inci- dentally had the ball in it. Pfeffer almost beat the umpire ‘up when he was; called out at the plate but soon cooled off when the Ump told him he wasn’t kidding either.
