By “Warren Spitz

Art Jens, writing in Tot-ii Shorts
of last week’s issue of Technology
News. made an inquiry as towwhy
Honor “1" had not conferred a
letter award upon John J. Schom-
mer, illinois Tech’s revered athle-
tic director. We will take time om:
to correct Art and reveal a few
facts concerning Honor “I” and
John.

We presume that when Art. men-
tioned Honor "1”, he was also
considering its predecessor at Ar-
mour college, the old Honor ”.4”.
This organization was originated
over 30 years ago and one of the

'men behind the formation was
the some John Sohommer.

in 1915, Mr. Schommer was
made an honorary member of the
group. At. an Honor “A" alumni
banquet held in 1939. he was
awarded a sweater and letter
award in recognition of his many
years of service to Armour.

Of course, Art Jens, has made
a good point in that John Echoin-
mer has; not been presented an
“I” representing eporte service to
our new school, lllinois Teen. For
that matter, no one lies as yet”
been awarded an “l.” letter award.

The illiuoie Tech Student As-
sociailon line it under its jixrloeiio»
lion to minim letter prowentationss.
“We therefore propose time Elm
E'E‘BA, and its presidoni Biol: hur-
sxom, who it upon ihcmot’ires in
present tiw firm “i" mraml of Hill»
noin Tech to John Jooeph flicliom‘
mor, being: as. he in H'Fs number
one man of armistice.

We also propose that from lime
to time the ITSA honor other
men at the Illinois inellitiie oi
'l‘eclmology who have go i‘oitli-
fully served their school and Kit!“
tainly deserve a loiior award in
recognition of this service, whom-
or it he in athletics or oihem’ise.

Many men have given voiuoéble
years to athletics at Tee/“2.. Wit»
mess the dozens of years- mm Pro—
fessor Charles W. Leigh mocked
the golf team. Dr. Leigh is retired
now a professor omertém of
mechanical engineering. A3 hood
of the golfers he received little
more than his own satisfaction
which we know he derived from
teaching many young men the
fundamentals of the golfing grime.

There are of courec many
others. They are modestly going;
about their work at Illinois Tech
and have been performing their
duties, either at Armour or at
Lewis. Let’s bring these people
to the fore and at least honor
them with the insignificant and
yet what we hope will become
a most treasured award, the “i”
of lliinois Tech.

BASEBALL TEAM
STARTfi PRACTECE

Plunkl Put her right in here!
Watch that curve? Such are the
cries as the Techawk basebaliers
practice everyday in the Armour
cheesebox, better known as the
gym. Regularly for the past sev-
eral weeks the beavers and re—
ceivers have been patiently prac—
ticing their chores in preparation
for the coming hardball season.

Next week the lads will move
out into the open and will get to
practicing in earnest. Since the
spring zephyrs are now starting
to blow across Ogden field and
the field will soon be in excellent
shape for playing, we should see
some real workouts in the near

future.

“Begorra, my lads, the spring
zithers are starting to whisper

the bonny Scotchman as he dueted

to the fresh green of the old golf
club. As the Scotch do, so do the
close relations of the Sootchmen,

Bowling is rolling right along
with three weeks to go. The Coali»

be it is the competition they have

tourney is over.
