Purdue University proved to be
the stumbling block for the Illi-
nois ri‘ech tennis team’s quest for
a sixth win in a row. However,
the Daveymen won three out of
four tilts in the week’s play, for
a record of eight victories in elev-
en meets so for this season. These
wins included victories over Lake
Forest, Indiana State Teachers,

, and Butler University.

The Techawlts started oil“ a busy
week last Monday with a 7-0 shut-
out over Lake Forest on the Mid-
way courts. It was the second time

' this year that the netmen had

blanked the Foresters.
In the singles, Mike Schults
went three sets to defeat Max

, Beach, losing the first set (M. and

taking the next two 6-1, 6'2. Can-
tain Bob Lange whipped Bob
Johns in straight sets 6—2, 6-2. Jim
Ferguson had little trouble in
winning over Owen Tibhles 64],
6-3, while Earl Sherman and Dick
Dunworth each scored 6.1, 64 vic-
troies over Bob 131th and Jim
McAllister, respectively.

In the doubles matches, Schultz
and Dick Larson defeated the
Lake Forest No. 1 combination of
Beach and Johns in two sets 6-2,

-2. Ferguson and Sherman pair-

'ed in the No. 2 doubles spot to

win over McAllister and Bihhs
6-0, til.

After getting rained out of their
match with Chicago Teachers last
Tuesday, the netmen traveled to
'I‘erre Home, Indiana, where they
chalked up a 5‘2 victory over his
diana State Teachers. The Tec-
hawlts won three of the singles,
and both of the doubles to win
their fourth duel meet in a row.

in the singles play, Bo‘o Klgin
bowed to Schultz in straight sets
6-4, 6—2. Lange went at games in
the first set with Henry Hewlett,
only to lose 18-16, 6—2. Ferguson

Schultz and Larson remained

matches with a 9-7, 36, 6’0 win
over Bosonetto and Cottom.

On Thursday, the Techawlts
traveled to lndianapolis where
they added Butler University to
their victory string. The netmen
had already won two of the singles
matches, and were winning two
other singles matches when a
rain storm came up, forcing play
to be continued inside. However,
the Butler tennis coach would not
permit his men to compete in the
indoor courts which the Univer—
sity had, and Coach Davey was
forced to claim the meet on de—
fault.

Schultz' made short work of
Wilbur Schumacher 6-3, 6-4, for
the first singles win, while Sher-
man polished off Stanley Trustie,
6-4, 63 for the other singles vic-
tory. Captain Lange had won his
first set 10-8 over Chester Robin-
son, while Dunworth hadn’t lost a

winning the first set 7~5, and drop-
ping the next set 97.

Purdue in Lafayette, Indiana, for
their fourth match in five days.

Members of the track team as
well as the whole school are going
to miss our track coach. Norm
Root will be confined to a when
culoses sanitarium. We hope it
will be for a short time. As a re—
sult of Norm’s temporary absence,
Earl Huehner and Harry Holden-
reich, manager and captain res-
pectively, will guide the destiny
of the team for the remainder of
the season.

Some people claim that Coach
Root’s absence from the athletic
banquet will be more sorely miss
ed than his absence from the
team.

Bob Lange, ’tll captain of the
tennis team, has been greatly res

the team this year. Bob had pleu.

and is now leading it through a

Completing the swing of lower
Michigan. the golf team, comprised
of Bredlau. Jemsek, Korrell, Sieg,
and Art Minwegen, acting man-
ager, returned last Thursday with
a record of two losses.

The greensmen left Monday
morning, playing their first match
with Western State "Poachers of
Kalamazoo that afternoon. The
score was 13-5. In order to do jus-
tice to our lads it is best to men»
tion that the Teachers hadvnine
hole totals of two 37’s, and two
38’s which was something to con—
tend with. In this match Adam
Jemsek was high point man gar-
nering 2 big ones. Bredlau
grabbed 11/2 points. Both Sieg
and Korrell were beaten in close
ly contested frays 3-0. in the dou-
hles Korrell and Jemsek collect-
ed 1 hard earned point. In the
evening, because of the influence
of their acting manager, Minwo
gen. the boys dined deluxe with
a ranking official of the Checker
Cal) company. Those inch thick
steaks were really something aft—
er the loss in the afternoon.

After supper the boys drove on
in their 1941 Ford and at 12:30 in
the morning registered at the
Wehster Hell hotel in Detroit.

Nine o'clock the next morning
the spoon experts were out on the
beautiful Tam O'Shanter course
practicing their drives and chip
shots. At ten the first foursome
drove oil and the match with
Wayne ‘ lniversity was underway.

The result here was again some.

it was evident here again that
their opponents were really hot
when cords of two 763’s, a 77, and
a '31? were turned in by the Wayne
boys.

(in Wednesday the match with
Detroit Tech was unavoidably cun-
cclled in the afternoon. The long-
drivers took a postman’s holiday
by playing a little game called
golf.

The: aforementioned influence
worked again on Thursday when
the (hint-diggers were. provided
with a special escort; through the
tremendous Ford plant at Dear~
horn. Michigan and were day-long
guests of the Ford company. The
high point of the inspection came
when the boys were treated to a
rough, bucking ride in one of the
right oil the line blitzbuggies that
the government is buying.

After a visit to the Greenfield
village and Edison memorial, the
divoediggers ate dinner with the
super-ultre-ultra at the Old Dean
horn inn, famous landmark.

On the return trip the conver-
sation was a- mingling of golf and
engineering. When golf was the
topic their faces were downright
gloom. But they’ve sworn ven-
geance and disaster for their next
foes. Gangway!

Schultz and Larson lost their

I l l in o i s ’I‘ech's indomitable
track squad led by Coach Norm
Root spent a hectic weekend mix-
ing track, bus rides, toast. and tea,
moving pictures, and more track.
The squad of seventeen traveled
nearly 600 miles to participate in
two meets.

Leaving Ogden Ii‘ield Friday
morning at ten with Bill Bailey
of baseball touring fame at the
wheel. the team reached Elgin in
time for lunch at the YMCA. The
limit was 50 cents per head. The
rest of the ride to Beloit was Spent
in a little game of hearts (Holden
reich broke up the game),

Beloit Relays a Spectacle.

After settling in their respective
rooms. the team spent, the after-
noon seeing the Beloit college
campus, the leminine scenery, and
Beloit's one movie house. In the
afternoon Captain ileidenreich
and John Tregay participated in
the javelin and discus events. Tre-
gay likewise tossed the shot, but
to no avail.

That night in one of the flashi»
est and classiest collegiate meets
in the country the lllinois Tech
freshman medley team placed
third against twelve crack quar-
tets of the midwest. Bob Osborne,

Ed Johnston, Bill Parks, and
George Erkert ran a sharp relay
to score six points for MT.
Wayne McCullough was sixth in
the Boloit Open Mile in the fast-
est time this season, at 4141.2.
Bradley Tech Wine.

With tea and toast stowed away
in La Salle, after an early morn-
ing drive, the squad reached Peo-
ria at one o‘clock.

Then began the scarlet and
grey’s worst defeat of the present
season. Bradley won 85-46 by
dominating the field events. They
took all places in the javelin, shot,
and broad jump and allowed IIT
only thirds in the high jump and
discus.

On the flat. the squad fared much
better by winning 220, 880, mile
and two mile. McCullough led
the team with a double victory
in the mile and two mile in ex-
ceptional times, Barry for the. first
time this season was forced to
take thirds in the two hurdle
events. Once again the mile re-
lay team came through with a
victory to end a valiant effort
against a very fine team that
seems certain to successfully de~
lend their lliinols college confer-
ence crown.
