Coach Meyers will begin his first season as track mentor of IIT with one of the weak- est cinder teams in several seasons pitted against one of the finest col- lege track teams in the Mid west. Loyola university. Morton Junior college will be the third entrant in the meet but does not figure to cause'too much opposition. oThe Loyola contingent led by Captain Max Lenover is a small but powerful team which has one man in every event capable of an outstanding performance. Illinois ’TTech's only hope for first places :seem to be in the pole vault. with Harry Heidenreich doing a consis- tent eleven feet. Bob Osborne. al- :though not in shape. may take the quarter. Jack Tregay's effort in the shot put is a certain place and a first if Loyola's Zimmy is unable to come because of a possible basket- ball conflict. eAt present the Scarlet and Grey will have only Osborne and Bagdon in the sprints. The hurdles are questionable. for Co-captain Barry may be unable to compete and Don Keigher is slow over the low sticks. Mahassek and Keigher are certain to run. however. The middle dis» tance work will rest on Ray Sauer‘s shoulders, aided by Nat Ratner. The distance domain will be covered by George Erkert and 'Co-captain Wayne McCullough.

This was the windup game of the road trip which took the boys through Michigan for a three-day vacation. oDetroit Tech put a tall team with an air tight zone defense on the floor for the start and it took the boys a whole half to push through nine points. Detroit's for- ward wall of Slezinger. McConaha and Stevenson blocked the path so effectively that the lads had to re sort to rushing tactics and long shots both of which were unsuccess- ful. To indicate the success of the zone system. the Michigan lads. in. tercepted eleven passes and turn~ ed seven of these into field goals. 'aLast Wednesday night the Var~ sily took the freshmen into the gym and showed them the fine art of basketball. Net result—Varsity. 54; Freshmen. 43. Throughout a slop— pily played game the Varsity out- maneuvered the lowly fresh and scored at will. One tough break of the game was the mishap that overtook Wally Futterer. senior co~ op. Early in the game Wally was racing down the floor and tripped over his own or somebody else’s legs. and ended up on the floor with a badly twisted ankle which may keep him on the bench the rest of the season. good performances are question- mean T“ “’3; g 11 I’m c. y r able with McCullough now out on Shaggy; . 3:3 ’”“d‘."b.“f¥f}i't;% work term and Erkert out of condi- $3553”; a ' 3; t “gandml’gjig 33}, tion.

The outcome of the games is not as important as the manner in which they were played. for the primary purpose was to demonstrate the various approaches to the serves. smashes. drives. and lobs. oThe games were not played in an exhibitionist fashion but were played smoothly and competently. George Abraham has developed a clear interpretation of the wrist movement as applied to the drop which was particularly noticeable during the playing of the second game of the afternoon in which Mr. Abraham and Mr. Bailey suc~ ceeded in volleying several short. well placed drops just across the net. eAfter the games Mr. Murphy demonstrated the actual movement of the wrist. arm. and body. posi- tion of the feet for the maintenance of balance. and methods of court strategyu Some of the movements and the carrying through of the movement in an exaggerated slow motion were also demonstrated at the request of Mrs. Olive Pierce Hazel. director of the Badminton club. lNT‘RAMURAL BOXTNG, ‘WRESTMNG hblflfi; “TECH EQWLERS CQNT’TNUE kiwi” Whfih oThe intramural boxing and wrestling tournaments reached the final stages last week with the end of competition in the three boxing the three The final box- ing bout was a hard-fought battle divisions and two of wrestling divisions. between George Martinek. iunior mech. and Roman Mankus. senior mech. for the heavyweight crown. A close decision gave the chem- pionship to Martinek. min the I35 pound division. Bob La Civita demonstrated the skill he acquired while boxing in the CYO. and pounded out an easy win over Eugene Dunat. to cop the title for that section. The I47 pound boxing division iinalists were Bill Plice and Bill Watson. the pugnacious junior mech. These boys both used pow- erhouse techniques and slugged it out tor three rounds. Plice's punches proved to have the greater amount at “oomph." and he pound- ed away to win a decision and take the crown. eTwo grapplers established them- selves es kings of the I35 and I46 pound divisions. Fighting in the 135 pound division narrowed the field down to the finalists. Jack Eul- Iitt, the fiery sophomore chem. and Jerry De Georgi. senior mech. These two grunted and groaned for 'two minutes. with Eullitt taking the decision for an easy victory. Bill Watson, his fighting fervor undim- ished by his setback in leather sling. ing. scrapped his way to the finals in the 145 pound wrestling section. Sher Sieman. senior mech coasted through his bracket to be the sec- ond tinalist. Watson's powerhouse tactics did not quite match the fin- esse of Sieman. who won a close de- cision in four minutes and thirty- eight seconds. aThe final match in the wrestling tournament is to be held tomorrow afternoon. in the bandbox known as the gymnasium. Martinek and Al Glassgen are the finalists. with Mar- tinek out to win the heavyweight wrestling title as well as the heavy- weight boxing title. The past rec- ords of those two battlers indicates a close fight. oThe Illinois Tech keglers. twelve teams strong. kept up their merry pace again last week by running off six more 3~Iine matches. The serene Senior Civils' No. I team maintained their slight lead over the ambitious Junior Fire Protects. But close to their heels came the Senior Mechs. «The fourth week of the intramur- al tourney was finished last Friday. which means the tourney is half over. Although too soon to iudge. . the race for the kegler champion~ ship seems to lie between the San- ior Civils No. | and the Junior Fire- men: but the Senior Mech No. I. Soph Mech. Soph Civil. and Senior Civil No. 2. are in position to move into the drivers‘ seat any week. 6250 far in the meet Robert Zelin. Junior F.P.E.. is the individual star with top scoring in total pins. I750: high 3-game series, 671; and high game of 235. But 200 games in the tourney are not rare. for Leibrandt. Minwegen. Nowell. Bosnak. Jen- cius. Markarzyk. and Butkus. have also beaten the double hundred score. aAccording to intramural man- ager Milt Pleva. the publication of handicaps and standings is extreme- ly hampered by delayed returns. All data on the matches must be turned in before Friday night at 5:30 so that the statistics may be turned over to the TECHNOLO- GY NEWS. eThe following standings are complete only tor the first three weeks. due to incomplete returns of last week. o e W L Senior C.E.

St. Joseph college was victorious by the score of 3-2 over the leather slingers. This was a return match with St. Joe. and evens the score at six bouts each. oBob La Civita started the ac- tion for the day byhitting his St. Joe opponent. Dick Kendig. with everything but the posts on the ring. After the cards had been collected from the judges and the refs. the bout was declared a draw and one half-point was awarded to each team for this effort. In the |l8~pound class. Bernie Ellis threw . leather. etc. at Ralph McKenna. but Ralph fought back with such vigor that this bout was also de- clared a draw by the officials. «Eugene Dunat waded into his opponent. anxious to avenge the first two tights. but became a little overucont‘iolent. cards were tallied his opponent. Joe Cavey. was declared the victor. In the next‘bout. Bob Lukas finally got going for the HT lads and slugged Bob Cavey from corner to corner. until finally the ref stopped the tight and awarded Lukas a TKO. Leroy Simpson wound up the doings for the day by losing a close one to ' Bill Carlos. ' oThere was a slight disagreement concerning the officials. and after the above mentioned bouts the re— maining tights were called off by mutual agreement \r , . ,fl By Don Keigher t nTo take up the week that was" oringlnally scheduled as vacation. the basketball team play/ed two ex- tra games last week. First they played the trash. and this game is described on this page in another ' place. Winding up the week. the hoopsters took on the Aeronautical University. Jackson Byrne led the boys to a 50-39 victory. by searing six buckets and five charity tosses. 9A recent inventory of track shoes showed these interesting facts. The squad own eighty pairs of good shoes and thirteen odd left and right ones. At present. the team also has twelve pairs of new shoes on order. oAt a recent meeting of the rifle team. Joe Hind was elected to the tab of team captain. This was home . sary since George Barre had failed to return to school for the new se— mester.
