The Seahawks will have a chance to show off the skill which enabled them to take third place in last week’s gale—stricken com- petition. In contention for the Midwest Championship will he nine teams, three from each of the Midwest sections. These sections are lower Ohio, Michigan, and the Chicago area. The Midwest’s three top teams will travel to California this June to compete with the winners of the Eastern and Western Cham» pionships in the National Cham— pionship sailing meet. The Chicago area elimination provided one of the most thrilling matches in which the Seahawks have competed. Having waited all Saturday morning in vain for the gale to subside, it was finally de- cided to attempt one race. First to go down were the Fighting Irish, who tipped as they rounded the first mark. By the second mark only Chicago, Northwestern and MT had sur- vived. Northwestern then hit the water and the Tech crew, Sherry Proctor and Sig Nelson, sailed on to finish first. Sunday the water was much calmer, and only three boats cap- sized during the seven races. docile niche, llltr an buggy By Dave Spade Omaha, Nebraska, has claimed new glori. Why? It’s the home field of Robert Zevitz, star pitcher of the Tech baseball team. .Bob’s high school days were spent at Cential High way down in Omaha where he won two letters ' in the “grunt and racket in base-- In his last year at Central, he wrestled the finest in the state and walked away with the state in 118 lb. weight championship class. He received his diploma in June 1947 and heard there was a base- ball team and a group called Rough Castings at IIT. So, here he came. Besides wearing out slide rules, Zevitz belongs to Tau Omega, the aeronautical honor- ary, ASME, spent a year as copy editor of Technology News, and can also be remembered as the buxom brunette, “Bebe La Schnook" in this year’s-Rough Castings production, “Haul it Home.” lie was also in last year’s cast of “Call Me Madame.” He can now be seen lugging around a big red “I” signifiying his pledgeship to Honor 1. So far this season, Bob has pitched two games, both against George Williams. Needless to say, he also finished both games as he put G.W. down 11-2 on two hits, and than whipped his “cousins” again 16-0 allowing four hits. in both games he fanned 25 men which shows he has something on the ball. llllllllllll l llllr“ they i211, Width By Sonny Mann Tomorrow the Illinois Tech tennis team plays the first of three matches to be held this week when it faces North Central on the N.

Amid a brisk Chicago wind and temperatures ranging around 35 degrees. Roosevelt proved a soft touch on Thursday, April 27 as Capt. Harry Zeitlin started things moving by beating Al Golin 6-1, 15-1.

Landy and Harry Kundt then fell to Tech’s Vana and Skipper 6-1, 6-2 and Mattern, teamed with Paluchowski, ended up by beating Berkson and Generalla (L3 and 6-0.

Doug Bielenberg and Al Biol? handled the North- western pitching chores. Rob Sverak put the first Wildcat hat‘ ter on base when he came up with Ed Piascenti’s hard hit grounder, and then made a bad throw to first. Don Burson beat out an infield roller moving Piascenti to second, and Don MacElvey singled sharply to right field pushing across the run. Leiser, with the aid of some sharp fielding, held the Evanstonih ans in check until the bottom half of the seventh when, with one away, Buster Carlson slapped a hard grounder toward left field that third baseman Joe Bass got his glove on but couldn’t hold. Fol— lowing the error Lloyd Hawkinson slammed a line hit to left that bounced past Maatman for three bases. Jonesi then bounced out allowing the last Wildcat run to tally. Bielenberg retired after pitching five innings and allowing only one hit. Al Bioif continued to chuck shutout ball until the top of the eighth when Tech started to fight back. Sverah started things olil‘ with a hit to right field and moved to second as Cory reached first on Hawkinson’s error. l-loll'man’s infield out advanced the runners to second and third, whereupon Biol? promptly walked Granert to load the bases. Leiser’s fly to right field enabled Sverak to score after the catch. Biofi' then lost Connors to reload the sacks, but Jerry Maatman couldn’t produce the necessary bingle, going out from short to first to end the inning. Robby set the enemy down in their half of the eighth and Tech came up for the last frame trail- ing by two runs. Dave DcLazaro started things off when he reached first on Hawlo inson’s second error. Casscl came through with his second hit send— ing Dave to second and putting the trying run on first. Sverak looped a hit to short center field, but De- Lazai'o attempting to score from second base was easily wiped out at home on Carlson's (Carlson is Northwestern’s ace pitcher when not playing center field!) throw to Jonesi. Allen Hall then flied deep to Carlson for the second out and Anson Whitfield grounded to Howls inson to end the game. Tomorrow Illinois Tech’s pillrollers play host to Wayne Univer— sity and the University of Chicago. The following Saturday they will participate in the Chicago Intercollegiate Tournament. A winning streak of four straight matches was broken during Junior Week when the Illinois Tech golf team traveled to the Peoria Country Club and lost to Bradley University, 111/-2 6%. The wind was so strong in Peoria that a ball lying on the green would be blown out of posi- tion, and often the golfers could hardly stand up. Dick Johnson, Fred Blaha, Leo Walch and Roman Radziwon swung their clubs for. MT, Biaha being: our best man, with a score or? 825. The IIT team, calleda to win the coming: Chicago Inter~ collegiate Tournament, beat the Northern College of Optometry twice, once with a score of 131/2- 71/2, and the second time by 14%: 3/2. Elmhurst fell to the Techawks by a narrow margin of 61/2—51/3 and the favorite Lake Forest team went down swinging, gaining 5% points to our 12%). things over and beat Ramsdalc and Eppling 7—5, 6 2. Marks Levy and Mattern finished things up by slashing Bell and Help- henstein 6-4 and 6-3. Saturday, May 6 saw the Tech» stars journey to Bradley. This time, Zeitlin didn’t start it off as he dropped his match to Bob Orr 4-6 and 2-6. Taxman had to rally to beat Ray Decker 1-6, 6-0 and 6—4. Dave Muir had little trouble dis- posing of Skipper 6-1 and 6-0, while Vana’s rally fell short as he lost to Tom Regan 3—6 and 9—11. Paluchowski tried to keep things alive as he won the first set 7-5 over Jim Stephan but then dropped the match as Stephan won the next two sets 6—3, and 6—4. Taxman doubled up with Zeitlin and won 6-3 and 6—1 over Orr and Muir after dropping the first set 3~6. This was the last Tech victory in this match as the Decker—Regan team edged Skipper and Vana 6-3, 2-6 and 6—2 and Mattern and Pain- chowski were out scored by Stephan and Cohen 6-0 and ‘6-4. By Sid Doppolt Led by the flashy performance of Hank Lokay, Alpha Sigma Phi ran otl' with the track champion— ship on a grand total of 55 points. Lokay accounted for 14% of these personally by winning the shotput, high jump, 220 yard dash (tie), and part of the winning- re- lay honors. In. second place came Theta Xi with 39 tallies. Harold Keycs sparked the runner-ups with his contribution of 8 points. A four- man contingent of Delta Lambda Xi specdsters were the only other group to give the new champs any trouble. The third placers racked up 22 points with Itay hlitzke providing most of the fireworks. The softball tourney swings into the final round this Sunday with all four playoff positions still open. In league A, Alpha Sigma Phi holds a slight edge on the basis of their four straight victories. One of these was a slightly tainted win over the Daedalians. The latter had pulled the upset of the season by tipping the highly rated Alpha Sigs, but then forfeited because of an infraction of the rule re— quiring the provision of an umpire. League B finds Theta Xi on top with Delta Lambda Xi and Sigma Alpha Mu battling for the second playoff spot. The complete standings for both divisions looks like this: League A W L Alpha Sigs ...... A.- 0 Delts ........... .‘l 1 Te 5 ........... 3 1 Daedalians ...... l 3 Phi Kaps ....... l 2; AEPi ........... 0 4 League B L Theta Xi ........ 3 o DLX ........... 2‘ 1 Sammics ........ 2 l Sig Eps ......... l 2 Phi Kaps ....... 1 2 Triangle ......... 0 " This Sunday, League A winds up with a single game while League B plays a doubleheader.
