New Trier and Evanston grid squads, both undefeated this season, play on the Indian Hill field at noon Thanksgiving Day for the unofficial football championship of the Suburban league. The championship will be unofficial because the new Suburban league does not become. a ·fact until the start of the basketball season. Nevertheless the victorious team witl be undisputed champion as it will be the only· undefeated suburban team. New Trier is anxious to pay up for the game in 1926, the last time Evanston played at Indian HilJ, when the home team was whitewashed, 32 to 0. Evanston also wants to pay back a defeat on its own field . New Trier journryed to Beardsley Field last Thanksgiving and, although behind at the half, finished a thrilling battle with a 20 to 12 victory. Best in History . This year's Gray-Green team is the strongest in New Trier's history and to all appearances the Evanston squad is of an equal calibre. Neither team has been defeated, but New Trier was held to a 6-6 tie by Lindblom in the second game of the season. The closest any team has come to tying Evanston was three weeks ago when Deerfield was beaten by a safety in an otherwise scoreless game. The Thanksgiving Day rivals each started the season off Ly beating City league teams. Lake View bowed to the Gray-Green team, 26-0 and the Evanstonians swamped Crane with a 38 to 0 score. Three teams have played both New Trier and E van ston. Deerfield gave (mly two point s to Evan ston and succumbed to the Indian Hill squad, 26 to 6. Mundelius crossed Oak Park's line to score the only points in the gam e between Oak Park and Evanston.

Residents of the Indian Hill Estate s section, whose children are now 'ittending the· Howarrl and Logan school s. desire the better facilitie s which thes e schools offer and are seeking annexation bv school district No. 39. Other residents of district 37, however. have protested against the withdrawal of the Indian Hill E state s section, contending that if that section is a11owed to get out of their di strict it would cut into the amount of school taxes collected each year for that terrifory. The hearing on Monday did not settle the question, as County Superintendent Tobin withheld action pending the possibility of some agreement being reached het\\·een the two factions. 0. Predict Great Battle New Trier also beat \Vaukegan by a bigger score. Waukegan got six counters to Evanston's thirteen last Saturday and New Trier whitewashed the Lake County team, 19 to 0.
