U. of Chicago at Stagg Field.

For the Techawlts, this will be
the toughest meet on their sched-

given for any spectacular show-

miserable weather we have been

faithfully every Saturday morning
without an opportunity to work
outside on a slower surlaée than
the wood floor of the gymn. Last
Tuesday the squad played elimi—
nation matches on the indoor

cage to choose the members of the
team.

Last year the tennis team lost
only to the University ol’ Chicago

past Chicago and Bradley Uni~

Hats off to the angers of Theta
Xi who won a triple overtime deci—
sion over the Alpha Sigs and then
proceeded to come within a few
minutes of upsetting the Wolves in

the IF-IM game. The final stand-
ings for the season eventually
turned out to look like this Theta
Xi, 11-1; Alpha Sigs 10-2; Delts
9—2; Daedalians 8-3; PM hops, 645;
AEPi 6-5.

Turning to howling, we find
the defending champion, Tri—
angle Fraternity is once again
leading the pack on the heels
of a not too sizzling 2958
score. Close on their heels
however, are the Alpha Sigh
who have rolled up a total of
2933. After that come the
Belts with 2874, Sigma Epsilon
Phi with 2847 and Theta Xi
with 2844.

Delta has pinned down individual
honors so far. Dave boasts a high

With each fraternity having
only one more ping~pong
match remaining, three teams
have already qualified lior the

Theta Xi and Alpha Sigma Phi
are assured of positions by

In league B a mad scramble for

The Pale Hose will greatly benefit from the rest they are to get

 

before the start of the season, Tuesday. Three games with the
Cubs will provide a pleasant interlude before the invasion of the

Saint Lousey Browns.

William Wight will “walk” out to the mound today and try not
to “walk” more than ten or fifteen north sidero.

Rumor has it that the ‘powers that be” are planning to close
their eyes (more than usual) to “absences” on Tuesday.
Rumor has it that there will he a number of sick engineers on
the said afternoon. Rumor also (Rumor is my best reporter)
has it that General Lane has hurried to Washington to plead
with GHQ for a special radar set.

Said set may well be in evidence on the Comiskey Park mound
this season. It is hoped that said set will aid “Honest John’s"
bewildered hurlers to find home plate!

(Editor’s note: What do you want me to Clo—pitch for them

myself) ?

that Bert “the Horse” Hoffman is not only the varsity baseball
