Pope's record of performances is one practically unexcelled. won the 100-yard back-stroke at the Northwestern university interscholastic, the 100-yard back-stroke at the Illinois Athletic club interscholastic and also In the meet with Beloit college he cap- tured the 40-yard swim and the 100-yard back-stroke and repeated the per- formance in the meet with the University of Wisconsin. Trier interscholastic, Pope took the honors in the 100-yard back-stroke event. Many other successes are tied to his record, including wins in the Amateur Athletic Federation events where he proved one of the best contenders. In the fall of 1916, Pope, not satisfied with his success in aquatic sports, went in for heavyweight football, though he tipped the scales at only 125 pounds. He showed the same spirit on the football field that he displayed in the water, playing an earnest and fearless game at every appearance on the gridiron. As a result of his strenuousity, Pope sustained an injury that developed into water on the knee, cutting him off from participation in athletic the 40-yard swim in the same meet. sports of any kind. Many swimmers of great promise have hindered their progress in the pool McDermott, the world's breast-stroke cham- pion; Vollmer, Columbia university and New York Athletic club champion; and others prominent at one time or another in water sports, have received injuries while playing football that materially slowed them up in the tanks.

Pope has shown his loyalty to New Trier and its traditions. dured suffering that New Trier might win glory on the football battle ground. He has been the personification of the New Trier spirit, even though com- pelled to give up his favorite sport, temporarily, as a result. Despite the loss of Pope's services, the New Trier swimming team has been successful in most of the meets held this year. ever, that Pope has not been missed. Pope has been missed, many times over. His steady, speedy stroke would have been a valuable adjunct to the work of the team, not once, but many times. As a crowning bud in his wreath of achievement, Pope was given first call in the back-stroke event when Coach Robinson picked the Western All- Round High school team. A fitting endeavor. & v ER BULLETIN @ Probably the most entertaining fea- ture of the dual meet with Evanston for the suburban championship, to be held at New Trier natatorium Friday evening, will be the exhibition of fancy swimming, diving and other water stunts by "Tom" Pope, New Trier's premier water athlete, who has been kept from active participation in the swimming meets by an injured knee, received on the football field. Thomas Pope made the New Trier swimming team in his freshman year, confining his first efforts in the water to back-stroke work. It did not take him long to show pronounced superi- ority over the other back-stroke swim- mers of New Trier and after demon- strating with ease his ability to give all contenders a clear view of his heels, he turned his attention to the crawl stroke, soon adapting himself to the change and becoming one of New Trier's very best sprint per- formers. Elected captain of the swimming team at the end of his sophomore year, Pope started garnering laurel wreaths for New Trier. His first tri- umph was the winning of the Illinois Athletic club interscholastic meet, cap- turing first position in the 100-yard back-stroke and the 40-yard swim and winning the relay event by swimming the last lap in record time. In the Pope, however, outswam him in both In 1915 he In the 1916 New He has en- That does not signify, how- reward for persistent and consistent NEW TRIER HEAVIES WIN AT BASKETBALL FRIDAY Snatch Victory from Morton by Score of 19 to 17--Success Celebrated by Dance on Gymnasium Floor. By the narrow margin of two points New Trier"s heavyweight basketball team snatched the laurel wreath of victory from the Morton heavies Fri- day night. 19 to 17 was marked on the score board when the final whistle blew. 'When the game, played on New Trier's floor, had been brought to a close, a piano was moved into the gym and the local boys' success prop- erly celebrated with an impromptu dance. J. Walter Nelson at the piano, Walter Baxter picking the banjo and David Roberts manipulating a saxa- phone, furnished spirited music for the dancers. OAK PARK AND NEW TRIER TIED The Lightweight Basketball Suburban Championship Still to Be Decided. Full of pep and ginger, the members of New Trier's lightweight basketball team journeyed to Oak Park, Friday night last, confident of capturing the Suburban Lightweight Championship by defeating the Oak Park boys. "There's many a slip 'twixt the cup and lip," however, and the Kenilworth THE FORUM DEBATING SOCIETY GROWING FAST Now Has Twenty-One Members and Room for a Few Live Prospects-- Interest in Debating Is Great. J. C. Miller was elected chairman of the Forum society at a meeting held last Thursday and E. Michaels assist- ant chairman. J. Bentley was selected as secretary and treasurer. Several new members were elected. At the conclusion of the business session W. Shaw gave an interesting talk dealing with railroad questions. Mr. Shaw was followed by E. Michaels who spoke of the Cuban insurrection. Mr. Michaels had a valuable fund of in- formation dealing with the situation in the island, gleaned from his parents who have just returned from a visit to Cuba. The membership is intensely inter- ested in the work of the society, and F. I. Walker, head instructor in Eng- lish, is planning some lively debates for the future, preparatory to taking the platform against some one of the other debating societies of the school.
