Coach Ed Glancy said that all games will be postponed until a suitable place is available in which to play ball The Jesters, a new ‘ for the intramural softball crown, met the Farr Criers last week and thoroughly trounced them in four innings with a score of 22-2. Last year’s champs, the Gym‘ mics, returned to the diamond with another strong team to trim the Aces to the tune of 22-1. The NROTC team also turned in a lop~ sided score when they beat the Bombers into submission by scor- ing: 27 runs to the Bomber’s five. Last week saw the end of this year’s EM volleyball tournament as the Gymm‘les outpointed the Froshes in the championship game. The open division of the tourna— ment saw some very good games as the Whiz Kids beat the Beavers 1215, 15—10 and 15-13; and the Sophs upset the towering Chem Grads in two games 15—11, 15-9. The Gymmies then proceeded to knock over both the Sophs and the Whiz Kids to take the open division. When the dust had cleared in the novice division the powerful Fresh squad had emerged as victors after having beaten both Fowler Hall and the Shrimps thus making them eligible to meet the open division champ Gymmies. Led by Paul Peterson, Ed Burke, and Bob Leiser, the Gymmies tri— umphed over the determined Frosh team by taking two games to one in the three-game series. The final scores were 15-5, 12-15, and 15-8. The Gymmies will now go after their second softball title in a row. with the schedule since the George Williams game two weeks ago. Besides the cancel- lation of the Valparaiso shine, a game with Deltolh has had to be postponed until May 16th. in the only game which could be played Clancy’s Gladiators were defeated by a smooth, hard-hit— tint,r lllinois Normal club lilo]. This marked the first defeat of the 'l‘cchmen this season, hav- ing previously defeated Lake Forest and George Williams. Coach Glancy was forced to cm‘ ploy his top three pitchers in an attempt to stop the powerful hats of the Normals. Seventeen hits coupled with six blunders by the Scarlet and Gray aggregation ac- counted for most of the runs with seven walks providing the rest. The local boys, in the meantime, were able to chalk up only five hits, with Bonczyk, the winning: pitcher, giving up three free trips to first. lllinois Tech’s unbeaten golf team will be after its third victory of the season tomorrow when they meet Lake Forest and Northern Illinois College of Optometry in a triangular meet. This match is scheduled to be held at the “pillchasers” home course, Silver Lake and will start at 12:30. Ad— vance reports show that Lake For— est will give the Tech men their hardest tussle with Northern Illi- nois not expected to provide much competition. Following tomorrow’s meet the Tech aggregation will take to the road and encounter Bradley University May 5, and Elmhurst College May ll. lo the first two matches of the season, which Tech won, Coach Sam Bibi» has been very enthusiastic over the results. This year-ls squad has the talent and. depth to flash through the season with an un“ defeated record and most cer- tainly will try to do so. In the opening meet of the sched» ule the golfers breezed through Northern Illinois College of 0p~ tometry winning by the top—heavy score of 131/2 to 71/2. The golfers however were denied medalist’s honors as Al Hill, captain of the Northern lilinois team, played bril— liant golf to finish the regulation 18 holes with a score of 79. Tech’s captain, Dick Johnson posted the second best score 82, with Norm Gjostein, Roman Rodziwon, Leo Walch, and John Flahab following close behind. Having won their first match by a heavy score the “pill” chasers”, being a little overcoo» lident, ran into a thriller last Sat» urday as a stubborn team from Elmhurst College matched their games, drive for drive up to the final green. It was there how- ever that Rodziwon and Flahah came through with some brilliant putting thereby enabling the golfers to eke out a til/z to {ll/z victory. The Illinois Tech men were once again edged out of medalist’s hon— ors as Elmhurst’s number one man, Harry Lavin, played steady golf to finish with a 84. Dick Johnson once again proved to be the best of the Tech golfers as he posted an 85. The remaining HT scores for this match were Leo Walch :36, John Flahab 87, and Roman Rodziwon 90. the 100 yard dash and in the thoroughly trained team.

Last night the athletes of Illinois Tech (and me) were treated to a swellumptious spread at Vogells. Besides the dinner, we were also enlightened by “Uncle John" Schommer. 'l‘cch’s famous former athletic director (1912—1949) discussed, ”Athletics at ‘lllinois Tech’ since 1912" and followed that up with the desired qualities needed by a “job hunting" engineer and how these qualities are instilled in said engineer by athletics. John devoted the first part of the lecture to the methods used by most schools in financing their athletic programs. Some of these methods impressed me: so much that l felt the general strident body ought to he let in on them. “How athletic programs in many colleges are developed for money making to run all divisions of the athletic department It (athletic department) seldom pays its way. y’l‘here must be money for: (1) athletic scholarships; (2) field men scouting for athletic candidates among the high schools; (3) alumni recruiting “slush funds" for paying successful candidates. The physical education departments are pay all the expenses of an athlete. Outright salaries are paid by the college and charged to advertising. Money is obtained by means of “gypping’” turn~ stiles. (Editor’s note: turnstiles whcih fail to record a certain percentage ol‘ the paid admissions.) Contributions are “glee— fully” accepted by schools located in small towns. The smal businessmen can make a “fortune" from the out of town crowds for big time football games. Small stores hichnin with a percentage of the “take” from the visitors. For example, it rains on the day of a big game people hunt desperately for places that handle rain hots, rain coats. etcetera. Uncle John went on and enumerated the many and. varied needs of a competent athletic set-up. Among which he included a field house, gymnasium, swimming pool. tennis. handball and squash courts. As of last night those everlovin’ White 80): of mine had not lost a game all week!
