Schurz Makes Lone Tally in Final Quarter By Louie Krantz In its season football opener last Saturday, New T r i e r H i g h school's Green Wave clashed with its alwayspowerful city rival, Schurz, in the deciding contest of a three-game series. As usual it was a struggle between two very evenly matched teams, but the bulldogs f r o m Schurz managed to push over a tally in the final quarter to take the game 6 to 0. Both teams looked a little ragged as there was considerable fumbling, and the Wave lost a good scoring opportunity because of an intercepted pass. However, New Trier's offense looked very good in places, but they were unable to keep it rolling. The first quarter was highlighted by fine defensive play on the part of both teams. The ball was in New T r i e r territory most of the time, but Schurz never definitely threatened.

L a y e r and D e C a r l o advanced the ball down to the eight yard line, but the threat ended when Dick Pedi intercepted a pass to put Schurz out of danger. N . T . had another chance to score when B r i g h a m recovered a fumble, but returned the favor by handing Schurz the ball. In the second half, Schurz finally got its chance when it recovered a fumble deep in N . T . territory, but a rugged green and grey line stopped them on the one y a r d line. Danny Corns then got the Wave out of the hole with a brilliant 20-yard run. Shore Archers to Hold Tournament Sunday Afternoon The North Shore Archers will hold their first club championship shoot, Sunday afternoon, at their range at the Skokie playfield, H i b b a r d road at E l m street, Winnetka. At 1 o'clock the first round will be shot. After the completion of this round, an open air dinner will be served for members and families near the pavillion on the grounds. Following this, the second round will be shot to complete the tournament. Total scores will be tabulated, and the club champion will be determined for the men's, women's and junior's divisions. This title will be held until the next club championship shoot sometime next spring. At that time a merit award will be presented to the one making the best advancement in the interval between this shoot and the one next spring. "This will encourage beginners to get down to business and get their practice in Plenty of practice is necessary to get up into the high score class. The importance of this is recorded in records of England centuries ago, when members of the King's Archers were made to get in so many hours of practice daily. When an archer was late for practice, his bow string was slashed from his bow, and he was whipped from the field with it!" said John A .
