By Warren Spitz

With the adoption of the revised
ITSA constitution, Illinois Tech
officially opens its sporting cam-
paign. For the athletic teams, this
season should carry great import-
ance as it represents Tech’s first
real attempt to make an outstand-
ing name for itself in all fields.
Last year was one of much inde:
cision and experimentation, in
which the foundling Illinois In-
stitute of Technology meekiy
thrust its head into the public eye
and excited some notice.

Carnegie Tech, bewildered by
its downfall in athletics during the
past few years, has sponsored a
campaign to “rebuy” its athletic
glory. The student body has been
“sucked in” by the surge of opin-
ion favoring the “purchase” of
star performers so that Carneigie
Tech could regain its position as
a top “football” school. Rah, rah
for the engineers.

Illinois Tech, on the other hand,
does not want to buy glory in the
world of sports. Through its ex-
cellence in scholastic attainment,
it has gained honor and the re-
spect of the country for what it is,
a line institution of education and
a builder of men and women who
can make a place for themselves.

We want to be recognized as a
top school. Not for superiority in
sports but for all‘round ability.
We can do this by building up all
weak spots, whether it be in teams
or in educational personnel.

lllinois Tech isn’t going to buy
its way to the top. it's going to
build and fight its way there And
when it reaches the top it isn’t
going to fall because we haven’t
bought enough good football ma-
terial. We’re going to stay on top
because the school has built men
who can throw a tackle in any
venture and score their goal in.
the world.

We want good teams, good
coaches, and good equipment, eer~
tainly. We want our boys to win
and we’ll fight like h»l, but there
won’t be an auction of players or
coaches if the squad takes it on
the chin.

We’re going to keep in step with
the development of the new llli
nois Tech and this means a better
caliber of teams which will be en-
hanced if the atheletes are given
new playing fields and buildings.
These are all coming, so let’s not
get out of step in the parade to
the top. Let’s get out for those
teams, now. Let’s support the men
by turning out at the meets.

 

Feature Shall Forced
To Accept Challenge

 

Visible through the haze of last
Friday was the drooping figure of
Feature Editor “Ghoul"
gen, leader of those cadavers
known as the feature staff. Amidst
his wheezes, in most undiscernible
words was heard a suggestion that
the challenge of a touchball game
with the sports department be ac-
cepted.

Undying carcases “Soap" Swan,
"Mucklchead" Galandark, “Pig-
head” Pollack, and “Softhead”
Sundstrom assented and amidst
grunts of approve] it was decided
that Friday next will see Illinois
Tech's sports department rid the
campus of these creatures,

For the living sports department
“Speed” Spitz accepted by naming
“F‘leetfoot” F i t c h, “Charging”
Bechtolt, “Flash" Keigher, “Blue
Streak” Guetzow, and "‘Lightnin’ ”
Butkus on the board of strategy.
