This year the team completed a very suc- cessful season. . Each spring Tech is host to racquet wielders competing in the North Central ,Tennis Conference which brings together the best of the younger players in the state. Last spring Tech won the singles and the doubles in the conference. Very interesting matches are held with the other schools of the city, and rivalry runs high. The team also plays matches with teams out of the city. A letter is awarded to any boy wl1o has been on the team three years. The eight tennis courts, which are available to any pupil interested in the game, are kept in perfect playing condition during the tennis season. Basketball has played an important role in the sports activities of Tech. Every year nearly five hun- dred boys report for basketball practice. Out of this number, one hundred are chosen to fill the positions on the freshman, reserve, and varsity teams. Basketball provides excellent exercise and train- ing. It develops the pupils both mentally and phys- ically, training the mind and muscles to coordinate. Tech is a member of the North Central Indiana Basketball Conference which is an association olf the strongest teams in the middle and northern por- Boys in Physical Education tions of the state. The schedule for the team is made up with these ten teams and with the other strong teams from over the state. One of the primary interests in any sport is to further bodily development, this Tech's track team tries to have for its first aim. An interesting chart, bearing the name of each track man and marked off in spaces for all forms of track, such as long and short distance running, vault- ing, and shot-putting, has been devised. In these spaces the coach inserts the times or distances a boy has made and a certain number of points in propor- tion to the excellence of his attempt. Although this system is in use throughout the athlete's career, it is stressed mostly in his freshman and sophomore years where he runs the whole series of events before re- peating any one event. A boy at Tech stays out for track because he enjoys the members of the team and because he likes to run. In keeping with this same spirit, no one is ever cut from the track team, and everyone has an equal opportunity to run. Because of this system, Tech's track team always stands high among other track teams in the state. Tech's track team this year had a most successful season. The season's scores were: Tech, 15, Man- ual, -LO3 Tech, 15, Warren Central, 40, and Tech, '51, Washington, 34. 'if AQ H751 1, W .Ap JV' ,-f f'0 ,M i lr fi tri 4 FQG'-'?,I'6? rpjfwgdflxiia I if.

Military Training 24 THE ARSENAL CANNON Non- Commissioned Officers Unit Instructor: Sergeant Chester A. Pruett. Senior Ofiicers: Cadet Colonel William Feeman and Cadet Lieutenant Colonel George M. Messmerg Cadet Majors William Kendrick and William Hume, battalion commanders, Cadet Captain Robert Hick- man, personal adjutant to the Cadet Captain, and Cadet First Lieutenants Wallace Buenting and Lewis Douglas, adjutants for battalion commanders. Tech's R. 0. T. C. . was instituted in September, 1919, the training at that time being compulsory tor all boys. The unit consisted of about two thousand cadets, with seven instructors in charge. lin 1921, the subject was made elective, and the enrollment was about sixteen hundred. lt was then that a Captain was put in command, and four ot the instructors were relieved. It was also in that year that the first Annual Inspection was held. Tech won the red star for the honor unit in the Fifth Corps Area, a precedent that has not yet been broken. Each year for twelve consecutive years, a red star has been attached to the streamer of victory. In 1930, the present instructor, who was as- signed to the Tech unit in 1920, was placed in com- plete charge of the unit with another non-commis- sioned ofheer assistingg in 1939. the latter retired, leaving only one instructor at the school. Commissioned Officers 1 1 i 7 D The unit has participated in many interesting events. lt took part in the parade in 1923, given in honor of the last t'ommanding Officer ot the A. E. F., Major-General Ryan. in 1927, over four hundred fifty boys were in charge of traffic and acci- dent prevention on the East Side, which had been swept by a tornado. ln 1932, the unit formed a guard ot honor for its Commander-in-Chief, ex- President Herbert Hoover. The R. O. T. C. unit of this semester has con- sisted ot tive hundred eighty-one boys, with thirty-six commissioned and one hundred thirty non-comn1is- sioned officers. ltitle practice is held on the fourth Hoor of the Main Building, where the Tech Rifle Range is lo- cated. The uniforms and supplies for all the city units are issued from the Magazine which is located near the football field. A former Colonel oi the Army is in charge. In the course of this semester the unit has taken part in the following events: lt has furnished guides for the Freshman, Mid-Course, and Senior Open Houses, and for all football games played at the Tech field, it has provided most ot the ushers for the Auditorium exercises and other school activities. The senior otlicers ot the unit attended a ban- quet given for them bv the Reserve Officers' Asso- ciation. Armistice Day, the ex-service members of the faculty presented the school with a. new silk flag. This may be used by the unit for parade and cere- mony purposes. The school board presented a new Hag which was received with military ceremony on Armistice Day. This Hag is to be raised each day on the Tech tlagpole by designated lt. O. T. C. boys. The unit received its twelfth red star for win- ning the Spring Inspection of 1933. At the beginning ot the semester the O. D. shirt and breeehes were replaced by white shirts and long trousers. - -. . ...... .... X
