Besides Woellcr’s sprained ankle, 'l‘ennant suffered a bad gash on the side of the head, and Jack Deveraux lost a tooth and had his mouth badly cut in the fierce play. In the semi-final games of the intramural tourney last Tuesday, the Wolves, led by Bruce Tennant and bred Woeller, humbled the previously unbeaten lFs, 45-38. The second game saw the highly touted ‘Whiz Kids beaten by an ”underdog Rassler team, led by John Mikota, 21-19, With Bruce Tennant sinking eight quick points at the beginning of the game before the IFS could even score, the Wolves jumped into a, lead which they never yielded throughout the entire contest. Tens nant, with 19 points (including " seven out of seven charity tosses) paced the Wolves, followed by Woeller with 10 and Ed Jennings with 8. The lF's scoring was hon» dled by Bob Grines and Sherm Roberts, who contributed 8 points each, and Rog: Krafit, who con- nected, for 7. In a very low scoring game the favored Whiz Kids were upset by a surprising Rassler aggregation, ‘- . who led almost all the way. Led by John Miliota, who tallied 10 points (almost half his team’s scor— ing), the Rasslers outfought the valiant ‘Nhiz Kids, whose stars, Dick Van Meter and Bill Mattern, were held to a mere 4 points apiece. see Willi. $€Ghfih on page i“ By Lee lichen After having lost their title in last year’s finals, the bruised but victorious Wolves again captured the 1M basketball championship by tumbling the Rasslers 29-18.

I“: will be a meet which will test the endurance of the swimmers as well as their speed. The most in- teresting event for the HT squad will be the fancy diving which will bring the Scarlet and Gray captain, Ramon Klitzke, up against Acker- man and Hagerty of Loyola for the third time this season. In the Loyola—HT meet, held last December, Hagerty defeated Klitzke, while Ray edged out Acherman. La st weekend the three met again and this time, while popular opinion favored Klitzke and Hagerty, Ackernmn won by the very narrow margin of .8 point, with Ray second. Thus the Loyola duo hold a one win edge apiece in the three—men competition. To add to the spirit of things, Smiley of Illinois Wes- leyan, the only other man to defeat Bay this season, will also be on hand at Naperville to malse the diving anybody’s race.

' - . new records “relive death do one By Dave Miller The largest indoor track meet in the world, that’s the 19th Annual Illinois Tech Relays. Even withrthe standards raised to speed up “the meet and to eliminate many of the competitors for better races, this year’s running of the Tech Relays has succeeded in matching- the attendances of former years with another enroll» ment of over 700 athletes from 59 schools. Among the 726 athletes en» tered in on: Relays tomorrow , night are defending champions in 16 out of the 20 individual events. Outstanding among the returning champions lire Gurion Campbell of Michigan Normal, who won the college broad jump and tied the American indoor record in winning the 'lll—yurd dash in :0”), and Bill Flemingr of Notre Dame, who won both the high and low hurdle titles in the university division. Charles Fonville of Michigan, 1948 shot put champ in the uni~ varsity division, who did not de— fend his title last year due to back‘ ‘ injuries, is back for another at- tempt to regain the crown. Don Laz, Big Ten pole vault winner last week, will seek to better the Tech Relays reeordhe set lost your with a leap of 14 feet; 1 inch. Luz has unolficially been credited with a vault of 15 feet in an intersquad meet at the University of Illinois this year, and is favored in this event. Jim Holland of Northwestern, broad jump; injury-beset Bill Mc- Guire of Missouri, oneornile run; Harold Omer of Purdue, 70-yard dash, and Randy Vanet of Missouri, 440—yard run, are other defending champions in the university divi— sion. in the college division, return- ing champions are .loclowllclntz- man of Bradley and Bill Rose of Baldwin-Wallace, who tied in the high jump; Jock Weiss ol‘ Michi- gan Normal, shot out; lloy Grieve of Bradley, 70—yard high hurdles; Norb Badm- of Michigan Normal, 70-yard low hurdles; Bill Com rady of Loyola, mile run, and Don Smith, another Nurmalite, half—mile run. In the learn championships last year’s winners, Michigan Normal and Purdue, are returning. The Hurons are odds—on favorites to repeat in the college division for the fifth consecutive time and for their eighth win in the last nine runnings of the games. The Boiler— makers will be hard pressed to retain the title they won in the university division by two and one- half points from a strong Notre Dame team. A, bowels-laden Michigan team led by their sophomore distance sensation, Don McEwcn, Will enter several potent relay teams and should do well with placing in most events, rather than win» hing a, few and not placing in others. The contingents from lllinois, Notre Dame and Mis- souri may provide enough in» terest in the team race to come out, on too themselves. The university division looks like a Big" Ten-Big Seven duel with the Fighting lrish an d Marquette thrown in for good luck. The broad jump will match Holland, Big Ten chomp, with Herb Hoshins of Kan- sas State who was second to him last year, but who won the Big Seven title in that event this year. In the. high jump Lou Irons of Illinois will have to face Bob Gor- don. undefeated sophomore from Missouri.

Get your ticket now and see the greatest indoor collegiate track meet of the year tomorrow night. Institute seems to have a deplorable lack ofw—f’or useful purposes! Perhaps some of the funds donated for such “(lire necessi- ties” (in the Institutes 20 year plan) as the “BELLS” in the North Union could be used to give the students a recreation hall? There ismot a single place on campus (excluding the gym which leaks when it rains) where a student can indulge in some sort of mild recreation such as ping pong, billiards, or dancmg (there is a jukebox lying around). The closest thing to such a rec~room is the smelling jungle beyond the doors of Technology News (commonly called the South Union “Lounge”) wherein may be found a few card tables, uncomfortable chairs, and usually trays of dirty dishes left behind by the retreating populace. It is'here that thousands of students seek to either Study, eat or play cards while listen- ing; to the announcements blared over the loudspeakers. For relaxation you must run up Federal Street to listen to the “Serenade of the Bells.” Why isn‘t something done?
