~ WAUKEGAN dIGH ~ W4a+ W . SCHOOL DEFEATS -- DEEREIELD 60 By BILL HOBAN. Waukegan ' e' _ C Levandusky Kuwing ... Varsity Defeats Deerfield 6 to O as Result of . . Seooped Fumble tield 174. -- * First Downs--Waukegan 4, Deer-- fileld 9. . _ Substitytes--Waukegan: Colby for Mesec, Stark for Walt, Richards for H. Maki, Singer for Levandusky. Grid teams of the Waukegan high school scored two' victories in the meeting, with Deerffeld --varsity and second teams. A scooped. fumble and a 40 yard run on the part of Mannebach gave Waukegan the varsity victory by the score of 6 to 0. Goach Brown's second team won Its game 32 to 0. The frosh scored a 7 to 0 victory over Evanston. The, touchdown was made by Manneback who picked up a fumble on 'the 40 yard line and run for a touch down. The fumble occurred after Deerfield had intergepted a pass thrown by Waukegan. The spectacular ruu of the day was made by "Bill" Byars, who in-- tercepted a pass and run 65 yards before he was tackled.> This . play happened just as the gun went off, and the referee said that had he gone over for a touchdown it would not have counted because tha ball before reaching Bill Byar's hands had touched the ground, making it an incomplete pass. The back field did not gain as many yards in this game as in the preceding games. Ewing, Wauke The line worked hard and made ' many good, clean tackles. Mesec, Aeftend, was injured in the first part ' of the second quarter and was re-- placed by Colby who stayed in the rest of the gam®o, The men in the line were ag folHows--ends, Mosec.l Lindgren and Colby; t:ckloo.

The Iron Mountain flash played a great game at the quarterback berth and many times returned punts for sub-- stantial gains.

Bitzer gain-- ed four yards on a line plunge and then repeated for one more yard. A 15 yard pass from Georke to Masters after the halfbacks had n drawn in close sent the latter 10 yards down the field to the first gcore. The try for the extra point failed. The second score came shortly at-- ter the first when Martin fumbled on his own 25 yard line and Bizer of Carroll recovered. Bizer then hit the line for 4 yards and Georke followed through for 2 more. A 10 yard pass from Georke to Masters, similar to the former one but to the other side of the Lake Forest backfield, netted another touchdown. ~ Toward the close of the final peri-- od Lake Forst was penalized 25 yards and lost possession of the ball on its own 18 yard. mark.

A paptr read before the _ local chapter of the Daughtérs of the Am-- erican Revolution, by Mrs. Alice Gunn. LaChapelle. If you were writing the biography of a famous woman, you would not begin at the time she changed her name from Miss fo Mrs.--rather would you start from her very birth, and writeé of jher as baby, child, maiden and finally as the mature woman.' So, while the subject as-- signed to me was the city of Wauke-- gan, I am going to ante--date it and talk to you first of Waukegan be-- fore she changed her name, or when she was known as Little Fort, figuratively speaking, and see this| little village of three or four houses, located in practically the heart of the wilderness. Just think of the}| Wukcq- of today swept bare of all her 'factories, business hounu,' 'stood two log 'Wouses and one two 'story trime house.
