“Pu-ui-ay Boll!" Yesiree, the

great old American ‘ca'll of the'

wild‘ has been heard resounding
throughout the warm-clinic d
spring training camps and finally
has wormed its Way onto the Illi-
nois Tech campus. That is, of
course, dependent upon ole man
April’s bothersome habit of poor—
ing out his grief in the form of
tears over our gigantic Ogden
Field diamond

This week will see the official
inauguration of Tech softball
and baseball play for 1941. ‘f‘ionr

upon the control throttle of the
intramural softball meet.

As ‘3onny’ pilots the Techa-wks
in their opener it sort of reminds
us of the feeling that a big—league
manager must have when he first
takes over the controls of a team.
He's put on a spot and if he makes
good he’s a real ‘big leaguer', but
if he flops, it’s; back to the hueh
leagues.

Well, here at lllinois Tech, we’re
building up o feelmg that we are
somewhat of a, ‘big—leogue’, maybe
not exactly built on the same
principles as the ‘major’ leagues
but at lease resembling them in
certain aspects. ’

Let’e out it this way. ’l‘he hig
leagues are a collection of teame
representing various sections and
competing against one another to
determine which one group,
throughout a season’s; play, we
come through many obstacles and
hurdles with the best record.

a combination of ability and limo
tic, can also bring home a per.»

Tech’s nine men out there on
the cliamond are all ‘biglcaguore’
as is their new coach. Emmy
Weissman. If these men get out or:
the field and put in some epiritefi
fight and hustle, then as for as
we’re concerned they’re
and we are With them all the way.

Baseball is one game where? pep,
fight, hustle or whatever you ml;
it can mean the difference be-
twecn a nine inning contest em?
a hard-fought, heart-felt battle. A
big-leaguer must have a big heart
and the way to show that, is by
demonstrating a talent for who
ning and losing with the some coo»
iinuous drive every minute on
the field.

This is the start of what looks

all 1L1.”

”’ like the beet season in many years

of Tech baseball, We want to get
not there and put up one 11 ~ - l of a
battle every game and let the op-
position know that they have been
up against a team of big-league
caliber, Win, lose or draw.

Two “Al’s” are HTS big pitch-
ing hopes for a victorious sched-
ule, these being Alexamier Yur-
eis ami Algem hombres. Al Yur-
sie is the outstanding twirler
from last years squad which
rang up a record of five wins as
against eight losses. Al Damlbros,
a newcomer from ‘Wilson Jr. Col-
lege, is a rangy lefbhahller with
plenty of power.

The only weak spot in the set-up
is at shortstop, Where Frank Leon-
ard starred in 1940. Frank is gone
and will be «orely missed. How»
ever, the crop of men out for po-
sitions is outstanding and return-
ing letter men in every position
will have to fight hard to retain
their posts.

Today, weather permitting, the
annual intramural softball tourney
will get under way under the, able
direction of intramu‘al manager
Chuck MeAlem-. Entries are now
in, and they point to competition
as keen, if not keoner than last
year’s with most of the stronger
teams signed up.

From where We sit, it looks like
a toss-up between the 31“,, and Jr.,
and the Soph lvlchs, with the Elm-
ployees team and the Stardust-
ers as dark horses. The Sr. Mocha
have the same team that finished
third last year, and the Jr. Mechs
have the some men that lost to
the Boosters in the finals. I—low-
wever, the 801311 Mocha formerly
the Comets, have acquired several
additions.

All of the games will be played
on one olilclal filamond; the, South-
west corner of Ogden field. The
games will he seven innings long
and the officials will be selected
by the mutual consent, of the pale
ticipating teams. There will be
twelve medah: awarded to the
winning team. A ruling introduc-
ed by the, lTSA hoard last year
makes all baseball letter men, both
major and minor, ineligible for
competition in the tourney.
