Page 8 dweller By Dave Miller Illinois Tech’s 19th annual record—threatening extravanza will again feature the nation’s swiftest, strongest and most agile col- legiate track and field athletes in another assault on the accepted standards. The scene of many stellar performances in the past, the Illinois Tech relays will be held Saturday, March 11th, at the University of Chicago fieldhouse and will again host the world’s largest collegiate indoor track meet. Under the capable direction of Bernard “Sonny” Weissman, Tech’s director of athletics, who has been connected with the games since their inception in 1928, the relays will seek to outdo last year’s 750 athletes from 68 colleges and universities in caliber of performance. The Hurons of Michigan Normal will again be favored to spread~ eagle the college division in spite of the clamor to put them in with the “big boys” of the universities. Led by their star sprinter, Garion Campbell, who is slated for his third title defense in the 70-yard dash, the Ypsilanti thinclads are again laden with the well-balanced power that almost tripled the second highest score last year. The boys from Normal won 6 of the 14 events and scored in every- thing but the mile to roll up 701/2 points to Wheaton’s second place :24.

The Maroons have a record of 21 consecutive dual meet victories stretching throughout the ’47—’50 seasons and will more than likely provide the Tech men with the stifl‘est of com. petition. Over the holidays, the swimmers engaged in three meets, swimming against George Williams, January 13, North Central, February 10 and De Pauw, February 11. The initial meet was won 43—32 while the latter two were lost by the scores 48-27 and 44—31. These re- sults now leave the Scarlet and Gray with a record of three wins and four losses, and three dual meets left to compete in. The loss of Captain Ted Ain- berg and John Mitchell due to graduation was heavily felt in the recent swimming engage- ments. Mitchell and Amberg were both star sprinters on the squad throughout their four years at Tech, and needless to say, Coach John Makielski will have to look for to find two proficient sprint men to re- place them. Although losing two out of the last three meets, the Merman looked very good in many events. Captain Klitzke kept his record streak of victories humming with three wins in the diving event throughout these meets. Ted Erickson, veteran distance mun, swam some fine races and emerged triumphant in two events while also garnering three second places and one third place. Some of the newer men on the team also saw action in the last three conflicts. These included Bill The Illinois Tech cinder heaters will join the list of active indoor track teams in the Chicago area to- morrow. The event, which will bring “The Chicago Four” to- gether in the only quadrangular meet involving these four schools, will be held at the University of Chicago Fieldhouse at 2:00 p.m. The meet is expected to place new records in the books since all of the established marks have been equalled or bettered by many of the runners already this year. Entering the meet as heavy underdogs the Techuwks are not expected to win any event. but have a good chance to gather several seconds and thirds.

The fight for second place behind the Hurons is usually split among Wheaton, Loyola, Bradley, Baldwin Wallace, and the University of Chicago, who manage to keep the rest of the college division from being beaten by Normal. The university division is again expected to be a ire-running of the Big Ten meet with the added attraction of Notre Dame, Kansas State, and Missouri. Among the defending champions are .lim Holland of Northwestern, brood jump king, who also competes in the sprints; Harold Omar of Purdue, dosh champ, and Notre Dame’s Bill Fleming, who tied the world’s record in his hurdle specialty last week. Don Luz of Illinois, who set a new record of 14 feet 1 inch in the vault last year, has already exceeded that height many times this year. This includes a practice vault of 15 feet which, although un— official, definitely makes him the favorite in the pole vault. A large clamor for the distance medley, on event popular because of its suitability to a balanced team, resulted in its addition to this year’s program. It had been left off due to the amount of time con— sumed in its running. straight win, Both were culled from Gloncy’s “farm system,” the Intramural basketball league.

Moeck, joining the team three weeks ago, played fine ball against Chicago Teachers College last Tuesday, adding his 10 points to the cause as the Techawks trounced the Teachers, 59-42. Big George Scalameru was his usual dependable self, collecting 19 and 17 markers in the two con- tests. Scalamera now runks fif- teenth in the notion in scoring in small college competition with a solid 20 plus point average and looks like a cinch to brook his own Tech scoring record, set last sea- son.

Even with so little prac- tice the Scarlet and Gray will try to make their first meet of the season a success. The ever reliable Al Ashurst in the distance events and Co-captaln Bill Baumgartner in the sprints are expected to bear the brunt of the Techawk attack. Other return- ing lettermen who will go all out against our formidable foes include Wally Kohler and Jo Jantzen in the distance races, Bob Voightman in the grueling quarter mile, and Dave Miller and Keith Wingote in the high and low hurdles.

Coach Glancy is looking forward to a banner season. The varsity nine will have all but three men back from the squad which took nine of fourteen last year. Burt “The Horse” Hoffman will captain the team from left field and swing his .415 bat from the cleanup slot. “Rapid Robert” Leiser will head a veteran pitching staff (and he better throw a no-bitter—we have to have something: to write about in the spring). A fifteen gome schedule (without any soft touches) has been corded and will be climaxed by a three day tournament between six Chicago area colleges. The hardest nuts to crack, at the moment, would appear to he the University of Northwestern (yeah! from the Big” Ten), Valparaiso and Eastern lllinois.
