The Techawks tank prospects are
looking better according to John
Ahern, Tech swimming conch.

 

Bolstercd by several “discoveries”
from intramural competition and the
return of two lettermon, Peters and
Meier, the tank team has ohown
considerable improvement during the
past two weeks and has hopes of
equaling last year’s record of wins
over such strong schools on Loyola
and Chicago.

This season’s captain will not be
elected until after the season geto
under way. A full schedule is all”
ready taking: form, with both Du
Puuw and De Paul schecluled so far.
All home meets-i will he held Friday
evenings; anti Saturday afternoons.

There is still room on the squad
for several men. Any one interested
should see Coach John 'Ahern.

Mr. Ahern has a formidable back—
ground in swimming. His career
ntartcd at Calumet High School on
Chicago’s South Side where he com-
peted in inter—high school and city
swimming meets. In his Junior and
Senior years he captained the Cal—
umet Squad. Free style events were
his specialties; he placed several
times in city meets.

'l At ll'l‘ he filled on important posi—
tion on the Tech team from his
freshman year on, being elected cap—
tuin in his senior year.

His record as a 'l‘echawlc coach has
been better than .500. Any man going
out for the team is certain to pick
up some valuable points under such
capable tutoring whether he makes
the team or not.

Springing back from a previous de—
feat Theta Xi proved too strong
“for a battered Rho Dclt team. Play
was nip and tuck until a collision
between two Rho Delt first stringers
forced them from the game. Short-
ly thereafter a series of completed
passes gave Warner 8: Lindahl re.
nulted in a Theta Xi touchdown.
Shortly afterward a hack pass from
center resulted in the Rho Delts
being caught in their own end zone
for Theta Xi’s other two points.
Each team has now won one and
lost one.

The Alpha, Sigs and Phi Kaps had
their game called at half time last
Wednesday as a veritable deluge elt
loose to make further play impossi—
ble. The lone score of the ball game
was made when an unidentified mud
spattered Alpha. Sig caught a
blocked pass on the Phi Kaps two

touchdown was recorded. The game
will be completed before the Wed.

Sixteen men survived the final cut in the basketball squad

last week and practice begun

in earnest yesterday when the

cagers held their first drill in the Valentine Boys Club gym—
nasium. Pointing to their opening game of the season with
Loyola, on December 8. the, comers will begin inter squad games this week
to sharpen their repertoire of offensivv and defensive maneuvers.

‘Jim Gibbons, basketball manager. has. announced a change in IlT’s
schedule of gumbo. Two series of games have been cancelled, one with the
American College of Physical Educutimn the other with American Tele-
vision Laboratories. The latter school had to drop its entire intercollegiate

The Fencing Club held its: first
noeetim;r of the your last Wednesday
in the Student Union Lounge. The
members decided to form a club
rather than a team chiefly in Order
to encourage beginners. to join the
squad. All who have a desire to
learn fencing or who have had previ—
ous experience are urged to sign up.

For the present meetings will be
held on Tuesday from 2 to 4 in
the gymnasium, with the next gob
together on Nov. 5. However, it may
bc'necessary for the budding ewords»
men to meet at night unless a suit—
able schedule is worked out.

One of the chief needs of the
fencers is n. coach, since the mani—
fold duties of Dr. Heyukawe tutor
of the art in the past have prevent—
ed him from resuming his activities
this year. in the meantime.; the more
skilled fencers will be obliged to
act as; instructom.

Men who have Signed up for the
squad are: Ed Hennessy, Steve Kins,
Jacob Dumellc. Ray Mayer. Harry
l‘eysur, Frank Kutchilt. Les Tcrnple~
ton, George Andrews, Erwin (imm—
haclwr, Bill Rooney, Sen: Meyerson,
and Kaz Kroll.

Up to now Coach Weissman has
yvt. to select. a potential starting: five.
lie is confronted with tho unusual
problem of naming" a firm. string:
five from six‘l/cen men of almost equal
ability. Weissman has been reluc—
tant to reveal his plans for the team
but it is rumored that he intends to
run thrce teams of equal ability.
giving each an equal. opportunity to
play by a mass substitution policy.
Thus one five will start the contest,
one replaced by a second crew short-
ly afterwards followed by the third
aggregation. This will allow each
half to be broken up into thirds,
giving each squad an ample rest
period.

The following men make up the

l946~v47 Tech basketball squad:
Smart, (irablv, Hankins, Behrens,

Murphy, Neiwzmdcr, Colin, Oldshue’
OWcary, Melek, Fleck, Carlson7
