After a stirring pep talk by Coach Weissman, the Techmen, led by Alexander Yursls, the first, went out and won their fourth straight game to go into a tie for first place in the Northern Illinois College Conference. Coach Weiss- man. was particularly annoyed by the poor sportsmanship, so he told the hays to go out there and knock. the cover off the ball. They didn’t. exactly knock the cover oil" of the ball, but they did hunch their hits in the fourth inn- ing; to make three runs. Also, the ’l‘echmen really went to town afield: for the first time this sea- son. they played errorless hall and managed to null oii’ three double plays. “La Goose“ Scores Yurais was the real hero of this game as he pitched his first shut— out of the season and allowed only four scattered hits. Al walked none, struck out seven, and al- lowed one hit in the first, third, fiffth, and seventh innings, and only faced twentyfive batsmen in the whole game. in the first inning, Bizer, the Elmhurst hurler, was so unnerved when Bach reached first on his error that be promptly walked the next two batters. However, he settled down and made Krause pop up to the left fielder, and then proceeded to strike out Hackbarth anti Johnson. In the fourth, consecutive hits by Mueler and LaGodney and a sacrifice hit by Yursis netted one run and put LaGodncy on third: Bauch drew a pass and Silla struCk out. The catcher dropped the ball and La Godney scored as Silla was being thrown out at first. Pfefter was the victim of a beanball and reached first for the third time reached, first on a pass. Krause ended the inning as he hit a line drive right into the hands of the center fielder. resin swears | May 24 marks the opening of the sailing season in the mid-west. lllinoii‘i Tech will compete with Northwestern, University of Chi- cogo, Chicago Teachers, Wiscom sin and others.

So long and good luck! lilinois ”tech thrillers End Year Thursday lily Art Minwcgon This Thursday, the second “win- ningest” ’l‘ech team, the golfers will play its last. match against Western State (Poachers at South» moor. To hear the golfers speak one would think that the season had been a disastrous one. Accord- ing to the latest figures including the matches last weekend against lilinois State Normal at Bloom ington‘ and the Bradley Tech con~ test at Peoria the losses exceeded the wins by only M wins against 5 losses for a percentage of .444. Jomnok High Point Man The low stickman for the season was Comcaptain A1 Brediau who averaged 79 for all. the matches. Close behind him was Adam Jem— sck with an average of 81. With Ll» w mimrehn regard to total points won, Jem- sck took it over Bretllau by the close margin of 12 to 10%. Other men playing: important; roles on the tea mwerc the twosome corn~ prised of Co—captain Mel Korrell and Harry Elleg. Both thesemen were very active in the raising the win column to where it stands. Several members of the “13" golf team alternated when any of the aforementioned ‘rlivolrdiggcra were absent Bob Elundstrom and Dick Taylor stood out admirably in, those roles. On the Bradley trip these boys took seven out of a total of thirteen won. The “13” team also did quite well in their abbreviated schedule winning 2 out of :3, Russ Rusanowski and Charlie Prustnski along with Bob and Dick. composed a team that showed plenty of competitive spir- it and a will for victory in. addi- tion to the ability of being natural golfers. “ loll‘crn tilt", Coach llilbh Coach ‘Bibh, at the beginning of the season made the statement that, this year’s crop of golfers was the finest he had seen hit the “little white thing” for old. 11’]? and not. once during the season did he go back on his statement. In fact, now, more than ever is he con- vinced of that statement after watching the heartbreakcrs that the boys lost after achieving good leads. LeRoy Goetz, the man- ager, Art Minwegan, ass’t., and Coach Sammy are crossing their fingers for next year. As it stands the first team does not lose a single man and the second team loses only one fine man in Russanowskl. Next year‘s schedule is in the pro cess of formation and new foes such as Michigan State, Marquette, and Chicago are sought and be- lieve us now the boys will give them a good run for their money. rillh‘ll‘li/lll iii STAN DENISE .lir.
