Tomorrow night the cagcrs The varsity seemed to be com- pletely played out both physically and mentally after the terrific bat- tle with Milwaukee State Teachers last Thursday. The Milwaukee game was a real knocked-down, dragged-out afl‘air with the score tied at halftime and at the regula- tion end. “Big George” Scalamera fought off the three Milwaukee men that towered over him to get his share of rebounds and lead Tech to the overtime win, collect- ing 8 buckets and 10 free throws. George really showed his class against Milwaukee; when he can score 26 points against opposition like that he certain- ly ranks among the great play- ers in Illinois Tech history. Last Saturday was a different story. Although the plays were all set up and working in the first half, the ball just wouldn’t go through the hoop. While all this was going on, the Maroons were scoring at a better than 60 per cent average; the shots they were making broke the Techawks’ backs and Chicago pulled away to an 11 point lead to coast to their 60-45 win. The Freshman team will play the preliminary game against the Lake Forest frosh squad at 6:30 p.m. This is the first con- test of the season for the boys, and may show up some talent for future years. For the first four games, George Scalamera has pumped in 85 points, and seems well on his way to shat— tering his total scoring record of 2'79 points for one season. If George can keep up his pace he will ' total well over 300 points for the 16 game campaign, a record that will probably stand for quite a while.

Always the victims of some sort of jinx when they play on the Forester floor, the boys will try to overcome it when they try for another win. Last Saturday the cagers dropped their first game of the new season, losing to Chicago by a 6045 score. ,. a f; A , . llllllllllllll llllllllllllllllll nu “DRIVING IN" for a score, Carl Maison, in the photo at left, unleashes a shot as team— mates Scalamera comes up.

VARSITY BASKETBALL: Brrrrrrr . . . l The Maroon fieldhouse was mighty cold last Saturday eve . . . at least as far as the shooting of the Scarlet and Gray were concerned we couldn’t beg, borrow, or steal, a hoop in that one . . . while we were shivering the Chi boys were wearing; out their nets at a terrific clip. . . . We should rack them up, but good, when they come here. . . l By Ted Spath A greatly improved Loyola swimming squad will play host to the Illinois Tech mermen tonight at 8 o'clock when the two teams meet at; Loyola University. The Ramblers” squad, “loaded” with new talent this year, will be out to avenge last year’s defeat at the hanlids of the Tech men, 52 to 2 The 'Tech seals will be trying for their second win in as many starts when they meet Loyola. Saturday the mermen ran over Bradley University by the score of 44 to 31. This score was almost identical to the result; of last year’s «defeat by Bradley. Although plagued by ill- nessenz, the Scarlet and Gray outdind themselves by taking six out of nine first places in the Bradley meet. Ted Erilmcn and Ron Watson, although ill, consosited to swim at the last lilllllll he and they were responsi- ble in part for Toch’s spectacu- lar victory. Together they cinclued‘ the swimming meet when they swam a close race to finish 1~2 in the drill yd. freestyle. Eriksen further ad- vancedl the Tech cause by tak- ing so send in the 220 yd. from style event. Close finishes were the order of the day in the Bradley meet. One such film-ale took place when Bob Campbell swam to a tie for first place in the 150 yd. backstroke. Bob hadl been trailing throughout the race: when, with a burst of speed, hue managed to overtake the Bradley backstroke ace just as the race endled. John Mitchell surprised even his teammates by coming from be- hind in the 60 yd. freestyle to take a first place with the near record time of 32.4 seconds. The iron men of the 'Tech breaststroke depart- ment, lien Carlman and Jerry Zichteriman, completely outclassed their opponents by taking first and second places, respectively. Other» first places garnered by Tech were by Ray Klitzke in the fancy diving event and by the combination of Campbell, Zichter- man and Ted Amberg in the 300 yard rnet'lley relay.

Al Slade, James Lingeman, and lwonard Barry all made it two ion a row by taking their matches at Bradley after win- ning the previous week in the practice meet with Navy Pier. Captain Dean Levi lost a heart— breaker at Bradley after winning his first match at Navy Pier. Tomorrow at 1:00 pm. in the Tech gym, Coach Tony Barbara’s much improved squad will face Macombx College in their first home Erickson .nieet. 200 yd.

The score at the half was a comparatively even 28— 21, but the overall strength of the defending champs and their “two platoon” system was far too much for Triangle. While only playing part of the game, “big” Bob Grines managed to hook from every angle as he walked off with the scoring honors, totaling 16 points. Jack Kuzia and Charley Gentzel “helped” Bob with 12 and 11 tallies respectively. It certainly looks like Theta Xi has what it takes again this year. Sigma Alpha Mu’s stock took a tumble as the team crum- bled beforc a great second half rally staged by Phi Kappa Sig- ma. Trailing at the half by 10 points, the victors poured in the baskets in the second stanza to pull out with a 37-32 success. It was Roy Veitch and Bill Mattem providing most of the fireworks for the Phi Kans but the whole squad deserves a lot of credit for the great comeback. Darkhorse Delta Tau Delta opened their season last week with a 57-42 victory over Alpha Epsilon Pi. The Delts showed plenty of stuff in the game and with a better defensive polish, they are certain to become quite a threat. Greg Opelka led the team in scoring with 14 tal~ lies while Marty Hoeft was the spark plug on the floor with some great team play. We would like to send our spe- cial orchids to the members of the varsity for their great job in refer- eeing the games so far. With the many close games their skill at calling the fouls has kept every- body pretty well satisfied and has avoided the hard feelings which are always present when a poor or biased decision is made.
