Top scoring honors for IIT were garnered by Co-op Bill Smart, who dropped in ten bas- kets and a charity shot for a total of twenty-one points. Ray LaGod- ney, although not a high-point man, made excellent use of his 6’ 4” in controlling rebounds and setting up baskets. The first half was one of the most closely contested battles the engineers have encountered all season. At no time during this period did the differences in scor- ing amount to more than four points, and the lead was contin- ually changing hands. On February 7, the 'l‘echawk Braves will travel to Detroit for a return engagement with the Michigan Tech school. A trip to Naperville produced only sad recollections for Coach ltemie Meyer‘s lads. North Cen- tral soundly spanked. the bewil- dered ’l‘echmen with a convincing , 59320 tally. Captain Howie Pencils— bury topped the five with six points. North Central’s Cardinals outpointed, outplayed and out- sparked our quintet in what was ’l‘ech's worst display this season. Thrills, for a moment, were pro- vided as Pendlebury, Galandak and O'Connell ganged up on the North Central lads in a fast break. The ensuing few seconds were a display of passing that would bar” he the pros. Emil Galandak final- ly decided that en ough was enough and potted the ball from directly beneath the basket. Although displaying fine finish ing form and outscoring Lake For- est in the second half, Tech was unable to overcome the Foresters 2546 lead at halftime. Jackie Byrne, at guard, sank four field goals and two free-throws to top the game’s scorers. With about three minutes left to play, the .laybirds of the North Shore came into their own and staved oilr a powerful Tech threat which found the Engineers with in three points of tying the score. 111 an effort to break up the stall- ing game which Lake Forest was using, the Tech Braves adapted all-over close guarding which re» suited in fouls and consequent j. free~throws to lengthen the Vic" g tors’ margin of triumph. ; Wally F‘utterer sparked a fine L defensive play on the part of the J Techawks. TECH RIFLE SQUAD WlNS TWO MEETS Coming back from a heartbreak- ing defeat at Northwestern’s hands, our rifle squad garnered : their second victory by downing , Indiana State by a 933 to 923 3 count in the third postal match - of the year. ‘ After whipping Wheaten 918 to J 860, Tech held the Wildcats to a 923—923 tie, but N.U. edged out a two point victory when the sixth man’s score was utilized to break the tie. Although thirteen challenges 5 have been issued, no new matches have been scheduled as yet. The riflemen are looking forward, how~ ' ever, to the University of Chicago Midwest Invitational M a t c h e s near the end of March. They are hoping to repeat the successes they made in last year‘s tourney, when the first team placed second . among the midwest colleges. INTRAMURlAL BOXING STARS 808 LA ClVlTA By John Butkue Reports from the intramural off- ice indicate that the boxing and wrestling tournaments are well on the way toward completion As a result of last week’s matches in the gym on Mondays, Wednes- days, and Fridays from 4 to 6 in. the afternoon, several bouts have reached the finals. Newcomer in Limelight 0n the boxing front, La Civita, in the 135 pound division, out‘ boxed Dunat and won on a default from Sadler to take the division title. The Dunat bout kept the spectators on their toes and pro. vided one of the best battles in the tournament. in the 147 pound class, I’lice, aft— ter winning from Ozimek was scheduled to take on the oncom‘ ing winner of the Watson~Kubitz M M 4 match for the championship of this division. Hcaries Do Damage Reaching down to the heavy‘ weight division we find Mankus contemplating mayhem against Caruuervillc; after coming out on the hotter end of his fight with Geiger 0n the opposing end of this brash et is wonder boy Mar tineiz. His battle with Paul and consequent win entitled him the future bout with Mankus. All of the title bouts will be completed during this week. Many boxers have been training for the first collegiate meet of the year. This. by the way, will take place in our gym against St. Joseph college on the afternoon of Jan. 23. Wrestlers Have Advanced 0n the more strenuous front, re ports reveal that only one weight division has reached the decisive stage. Eullitt's decision over de Giorgi in the finals entitled him to take possession of the 135 pound medal. Previously he had encountered Proctor and Cotter but hadn‘t much difficulty over coming his opponents. By far. the largest group com— peting for a weight championship is the 145250 division. Scheduled for an early engagement against each other are the winners of the Watson-Bach man and Simon- Round fight. The victorious con- testant has awaiting him the final- ist, Siemen, who has moved up from the lower bracket. Tech Meets DcKalb This is by no means the end of the grappiers grunts as there re- mains the man mountains of the 170490 class. Again, the famous name of Martihek appears, this time as a finalist. Opposing this groaner will be the winner of the long awaited Glassgen—Zemai- tls scrap. According to the schedule De Kalb will engage the Tech team on Feb. 7 or 21 for the second col~ legiate meet. A battle-royal is ex- pected to materialize, so be there! r—-———"——“————-—----—-—-—, BUY! Defense Savings Stumps TfiLHN 0110515! MN EWS By Warren 5pm. Tension! That’s the word which describes nearly everyonc's state of being in the present crisis. That’s where athletics come in, that’s where healthy bodies come in, that’s where you come in! Newspapers have recently been carrying stories showing that throughout the entire country na- tional, army and governmental leaders have urged a wider pro— gram of athletic activity in schools it has been asked that this sports and recreational scheme be spread to reach everyone in the schools and in the community in order to build a stronger and healthier America. The dewmphisis of school loot» bail and other sports has been pro. posed, with the substitution, in- stcad of a wide-r huge build up program for everyone. Illinois Tech has been following the gen- oral trend with two definite ac- tiona. First in every manner pos- sible,1ntiamural sports have been bolstexed and have steadily gain. ed the support of more and more of the students. Secondly, it is hoped that the general health and wellwbeing of the student body will be greatly improved by the permanent in- stallation of the hospitlllzalion scheme, such as is being publish- ed in this issue of the Tech News. 5iurlent' Pieidhouse Pond ”SA ._ $l0,000.00 Class oi ”Ml 56.38 Honor ”l" .......... 125.00 ED}. ................ 13.00 Wm.

The lllinois 'l‘ech mermen trav- eled to De Pauw last Saturday night to take on the Greencastle splashers. The Techmen dropped both meets to the Hoosiers last season but are hot for revenge. De Pauw meets always present an additional obstacle as these lads swim the longer intercollegiate distances and therefore put. the ’l‘echawks to a strenuous test as they are used to the shorter dis-- tances that are used in the smaller college competition. Whitney Pearson. freshman star of two years ago, has returned and strengthens the team consid- erably in the free style division. The mermen are weak in the breast. stroke section due to gradu— ation and ineligibility and any man who can swim two hundred yards in this stroke will be wel- comed on the team. The first event on the program will pit Earle Huxhold against Rodger Johnson who is the star De Pauw splasher. Other Tech- awks competing are Pearson, no man Mankus, Dick Stoneham, Elli- ot Gage, Bob ’I‘regar, Hans Nord, Bill Meier, and Bob Felber. All men are in excellent shape and will put forth their best efforts to revenge the defeats of last year. After paddling against the lreoncastle lads the Techawks will take on the mermon from North Central.

After this prelim- inary training which ended the last week before Christmas vaca- tion, the team started rigorous outdoor training in the rink that they share with the South Fal- cons. Fast Scrimmages The lads in the pads have shown marvelous spirit in their practice sessions and went through several vigorous scrimmages in ten~be- low weather the first of last week. In the latest scrimmage which was held last Friday, Coach “Teach ’em from the book” Davey picked a tentative first string to start against the University of Chicago tomorrow night. These lads were also tried Sunday in a practice game against the Falcons. This first string consists of four veterans and two new men. Jack “Red” Eulitt, Bill Watson, Dick Metcalfe, and Jack Weidenmiller are starting the games as the four vets at the left wing, center, left and right defensive positions, res- pectively. Rounding out the ten» tative starting line up are Dick Osberg, left wing, and Carl Forest berg, goalie. Those of you who saw any games last year or the year before will remember George Crawford as an ace player. George is working part time this year and therefore he has not had a chance to work out. Otherwise he would probably be right up there with the top boys on the team. As a supplement to these men Coach Davey announced that he has an able crew of spares. At the wings, Doc has Bob Johnson, Ed Johnston and Brian Brown, while Crawford and Glenn Wittekindt are the reserve centers. Finally, at the guard posts are Bill Parks, Ken Du Bron" and Don Violter. With this able staff of men the team should go places. Game at Stage: Field As mentioned above the first regular game is with the Universi- ty of Chicago tomorrow night un- der the north stands of Stagg field. The puck drops at 8:30 and it should be a swell game. The probable schedule for this season shows games with De Paul, Notre Dame, Waukegan, and. Lake Forest. Other games are on the fire at this time.

Ed Franks DEATH DUELS FORSEEN IN PING: POMS TOURNEY lly Blob Adclsou The war, cutting the school term short, has made an extension of the table tennis (ping-pong to you guys ) tournament, into next semester, very probable. As of Friday, last, only four men had reached the fourth round in the singles division. This number is only one half of the eight brackets in the round. The men in this round are: Herschel Franks, Pete Zemaitis, Jack Byrne, and Job Adelson. ’l‘he remaining men in— elude: in the third round, Aaron Kolom, Lester 'l1itwitler, Bob Johnson, Jerry IIutcheson, Bil], Konltz, and Bob Sumk ltrom; in the second round, M... W ~— etc We won‘t mention their names This omission should be taken as punishment for holding up production. In the doubles tournament there is but one team in the semi-final roundw-“Hersch” Franks and 13 0b Adel son. The res t are in the quar~ 1.01 finalswAaron Kolom and Aar on Krus, Jack IElyrne and “Lefty” Mongeau, Pete Zemaitis and “Midge” (loluska, Ed Franks and “Commisar” Frank Jacobs, Bob Gleason and Al Cole, and finally, Bob Garth and John Jackimiec. Since so many matches are yet unplayed we’d like to indulge in a little crystal gazing, it" you don’t mind. Kolom to go to the fourth round at Litwiller’s expense, Johnson to the fourth, by downing Hutche- son, Byrne to the semi-finals over Adelson, Huguelet to make the fourth round by courtesy of first. Phillips and then Konltz, and Shane to arrive in the same round over the prostrate forms of Dirk- sen and Sundstrom. In the doubles division we call it this way: Krus and Kolom to make the semi-finals at the ex- pense of Byrne and Mongeau, Ze- maitis and Goluska to enter the same round by beating Ed Franks and Jacobs, and finally Gleason and Cole to achieve a semi-final berth by defeating Gerth and Jack- imiec. Our predictions as to the championships arewwe want odds on these choices — Herschel Franks, singles champion, and Franks and Adelson in doubles. Any results contrary to these pre- dictions will be achieved malici~ ously, with the intent of discredit- ing your globe gazer. In such times as these, this sort of conduct is nothing short of sabotage and will be treated accordingly.
