To date our information shows that only four games, which were scheduled to have been played during the week of October 27, have been post- poned. Those games are: 3A co» ops v. Jr. mechs, Sr. civils v. Jr. civils, Sr. FPEs v. Jr. chorus, and Jr. FPES v. Screwballs. Mcohs Avengc Injury In spite of the small number of games played this week, there were two real thrillers for drizzle- oblivious spectators to view. The first of these, played by the Jr. mechs and Sr. chems was carried on to a second day, after Bob Ladevich, one of the three Bobs injured in play this week, was badly injured at the beginning of the second half. The score to this point in the game was 0—9, in favor of the muddy field. Upon continw etion of the game, on the follow- ing (lay, the Jr. mechs, incensed by the injury of their team-mate, promptly trounced their 0311mm tents to the tune of 208. All but one of the Jr. mech scores were made on sudden thrusts which nob ted long gains and touchdowns. The most beautifully executed of these long gains and surely the longest, was the one in which Pete Zemaitis received a short pass and ran practically the full length of the field with good blocking to get him underway.

The first counter came when Barris blocked a punt which Young fell on in the end zone. A long pass from Shank to Parks made the score 13—0 at the half. Coming back with an improved defense in the second half, the Fire protects held the chills in check until a pass from Parks clicked when Shank took it on the twenty yard line and feigned two defenders out of the play to go across for the final score. Mechs Present Thriller The game between the Sr. mechs and the Soph. mechs, although played on a slower field, was not without enough thrills and scor- ing to make it really interesting. After a see-saw scoreless first half, which resolved itself into a punt- er’s duel, the Sr. mechs get quick' 1y underway, drawing first blood on the basis of George Pederson’s one yard run. The extra point was missed. The Soph mechs came back into the running, when, after a series of short passes, which car- ried them to the ten yard line, Dan O’Connell passed to John Cotter in the end zone. The mechs went TOUCHBALL SCHEDULE TUESDIHI 12-1 Sr. nicohs vs. Sr. ohcms (Gow, Goluslra) WEBNESDAE’ 1-2 3A (70-0105 vs. 5A coops (Hciacnroich, Adolson) THURSDAY iZ-i Jr. moons vs. Fr. clients (O‘Conncl, Rather) FRIDAY lost 5. civils vs. S. mocha (Addison, Sumdstrom) 2-3 Sr. civils vs. Jr. chemo (Heidcnreich, fiochtol‘t) 3-4 Jr. mechs vs. Sr. macho (Pleva, Sunilstrom) Rifle Team To Open Season Al“ Wheaten On November 28th, the Illinois Tech rifle team will open its sea- son against traditional rivals, Wheaten college. This match comes as a result of a challenge by Wheaton and past results indi» cate a close squeeze for the victor. Our team has also been chal- lenged by Indiana U, and will match shots with the boys from Bloomington, on December 13. in these matches Capt.

Stars Are Made The next score came suddenly, when O’Connell caught Cotter’s short pass in mid-field and ran on a beeviine to the goal. He passed between two Sr. mechs, who were only a few steps from him on either side, but unable to move because oi‘tbe sloppy field. The Sophs missed the extra point, and as it turned out later, missed their opportunity to emerge from the contest, the victors. Late in the game, with only sec~ onus left to play, Bob Ericson, di- minutive Sr. mech speed‘merm chant, carried the ball from mid- field to the ten‘yard line. On the following play he caught Bob Neuhaus’ pass in the end zone, as the horn ending the game was blown. Clicking on their try for the extra point, the Sr. mechs tied the score on a pass from Neuhaus to Peder-son. Final score: Sr. mechs l3, Soph. mechs 13. _ ‘ Staff Photo by Center Messrs. Ilarlihros, 81111:, and Koos no they entered competition With Earl {lanolin chorus cuties during: the Honor 5 initiation. inst Friday, six “men" were pledged to the Honor 1. They were Al Dambros, Mario sum, Karl Koos, Robert Neuhaue, Wayne McCullough, and Mike Schultz. This affair was strictly in— formal: Messers Silla and Koos showed to advantage in chic femi- nine attire. Silla wore a charming jade gym suit and Koos was at- tired in a daring two-piece swim suit with floating bra. Neuhaus and Schultz were not in costume, and lt’eyne McCullough, a 413 co- op was not able to attend. Honor ii men this year were drawn from the basketball, base- ball, track, and swimming teams. The lone representative of the track team to be initiated was Mc- Cullough. cocaptain of the track squad. Sills and Dambros are mem. hers oi the baseball team, Neu- haus comes from the bucketeers, Schultz hails from the tennis team which he will captain this year, and Koos represents the breast stroke department of the Tech mermen. The meeting was con- ducted by Harry Heidenreich who presented the pledges. loch Foil Ferrell's Premise floods fomorrowi More Winters Worried Tomorrow afternoon at five the Armory will again be the scene of overhead smashes and engineers in shorts as the second annual fall practice gets under way. Leading the netters as they vie for posi- tions will be Captain Mike Shultz, back for his third season, after playing in the number one spot for the Techawks through nine- teen matches last year. Another note of cheer is that Coach Davey seems once again to have uncovered an exceptionally able manager, this time in Dick Hameister. Dick reports that all the letters have already been sent out to possible opponents, so the ’42 schedule is already under way. All candidates are to report at the Armory fully prepared for ac- tion at five o’clock tomorrow, as no time will be lost in getting the practice sessions in full swing. Coach Davey would like to see, in addition to members of the south side campus, prospective men from Lewis out for the team. Fall practice will be held from five to seven every Wednesday and Thursday through the next five weeks. Thfli‘l Sidfilllfi By “Deejay” Keigher Calamities of all varieties hit the UT sport scene last week. The severe cold wave and com bined wind and rainstorms caused postponement of many of the in- tramural activities. But sadder still was the epidemic of injuries prevalent in the touchboll games played. Wrenchecl backs, twisted ankles, and strained wrists were common, but severest of all was Bob Ladevich’s injury that has necessitated hospitalization. In reference to this, Bob’s team— mates, the Junior mechs, are launching a rall'le to help him de- fray his hospital expenses. This is a worthy cause that deserves the support of every Illinois Tech student. >1: it: xx Unusually large crowds oi“ spec— tators have been witnessing the touchbnll games of late, but proba- bly the least attended gonna of. the wool: was the “mm! bow' " session bet ween (lite feature and sports dc- puriment.

Only the fact that the score was tic prevented ttho Sophs from spilling the blood of two offi- cials (‘5‘). Their names are being with held from publication for their own good, but their initials are G. M. and W. R. G., and they are Jr. incchs. fill PAGE FKVE .. Whmmm W TMEN SEARCH FOR HEAVYWEIGHT Both boxing and wrestling teams are consistently practicing in the gym on Mondays, Wednes- days, and Fridays from 4; to 6 o‘clock. Sonny Weissman wishes to make it known that experience is not essential for team member- ship. lVlost of the major lettermen had their start in intercollegiate sports while under Sonny’s super- Vision. Heavyweights Needed Especially in demand are heavy- weights for the wrestlers. Several weeks ago, the respective man~ agcrs of these teams, Jerome Pin— sky and Jim Walker, sent to vari~ ous colleges about Chicago invi- tations for future meets. As yet,‘ only Bradley and Herzl have an- swered. Herzl states that insulti- cient interest in wrestling leaves them without a team. Bradley in return sent a letter of regret, say- ing that their “schedule was filled.” Two Moots Blooded Since ‘lllinois Tech always had time for one or two meets in ex- cess of the regular schedule, it seems very strange that such an attitude prevails among certain schools. woolen Field Codovers Mount Sport’s Writers By “Mom" Fitch On Friday last, the sports dc~ partment bed a naval battle with the so-called feature department. The score will go down in the books as 15.0. The sports depart— ment could not lose and they did not. The present sports staff had it all planned. The plan goes like this: We felt sorry for the former sports writers and decided to give them a little glory since they have had to write all their columns anonymously. The only how in the organization was the tolera- tion of a touchdown by “Media-co" New. The other points were made by broken down sports writersm‘flhoul” Minwegen and “Wet Pants” Sundetrom. These broken down specimens of. mam hood were supplemented with equally disparaging cast-oil’s in the persons of “Hod Foot” Galandark and “Slippery Fingers" Minwegen II. The existing sports department out-passed, out-ran, and out-smart- ed the feature mudvhens. In fact, the only time that aggregation gained was when THE STARS condescended to give them a little glory. “Speed” Adelson continually out- sped the opponents around the ends but slowed down to keep from demoralizing ., the enemy. “I—lard Block” Guetzow continually set back tthe rushees with light— ning blocks. “Speed” Spitz could not be stopped in his pass catch- ing. “Perfect Pass” Sherman con~ tinually set the ball down in the hands of “Speed” when he wanted to. “Charging” Bechtolt continu- ally rammed the blocks of the en- emies. “Sharpie” Fitch complete 1y foiled all plans of “sleeper” plays.” “Shifty" Keigher blocked, runned, passed. These valiant warriors led by “Speed” Spitz will no longer feel sorry for these “broken down oats.” They have had their day of glory. So, now that we have given them a little confidence, we will ruin their dainty pulchritude and mop Ogden field with the corpses on the next occasion of our meet- ing.
