%X By casting the Hamiltonian of pure SU(3) in 3+1 space&#8211;time dimensions into approximate tri-diagonal form we study the glueball spectrum of the system. In particular we obtain estimates for the ground state energy density, the string tension &#963;, and the masses of the lowest lying 0++ , 1 + - and 2 ++ glueballs. These initial calculations lead to estimates of various mass ratios in general agreement with other studies of the spectrum.
