He con-- | cluded by asking the boys to be as good scholars as they were football playofi\&; the past se . \ _ The nquet over &e members of | the squad arose and sang their alma mater and then the first string men were introduced aga'in so that every-- lone present might remember the 'boys who made up probably the most success'ul team that Libertyville has 'ever had. The evenings entertain-- ment ended with the football 'men 'chefling lustily for fndividual mem-- I bers and the business men turned ! homeward nrobably w'shihg that l they again were youths. Libertyville and Mundelein busi-- ness men turned out in large num-- bers to attend the annual grid iron banquet tendered the football squad by the Chamber of Commerce held in the parlors of the Presbyterian church at 6:30 Monday night. Including football men, coaches, teachers and bus'ness men there were about 200 who found places at" the banquet. Unusual entertain-- ment for the evening consisted of Elwyn Wightman at the piano with Otto Boehm as song master. Dur-- ing the course of the meal the large group sang merry old songs that put everyone in the best of spirits and keeping with the tempo of the t'me and crowd. Glen Hoskins, acting in the role of toastmaster, called on several mem-- bers' of the 'team for speeches. Grimes, captain and probably the most outstanding man on the team, gave quite a lengthy speech in which he impdrted several bits of advice to Alvin Sage who has been elected captain of next years team. Mr. Underbrink was asked to say a few words and he answered by summing up the successful football season from a principal's point of view. He reassured his listeners that a f'ne spirit prevailed at 'the school this year and helped greatly in »roduc-- ing such excellent teams. He con:-- cluded his remarks by stressing that a great deal of the success and re-- sponsibility for a team depends on the coach and that he would trade coach Jack Mart'n for Bob Zuppke. Coaches -- Martin: Johnson and Crawford of the high school staff of tteachers were called upon to intro-- jdnce the men on their teams. This iweu at times difficult as several of the youthful players were loath to ' to get on their feet and let the crowd | get a good look at them. | * Persistent speed'ng and frequent warnings. an arrest and failure to appear for trial proved costly to Walter Bradley, a salesman for a local automobile concern Thursday. Bradley's territory takes in several of the cities along the north shore, and in going to and from Liberty-- ville Bradley had an unusually big foot on the accelerator. Finally the Lake Forest police became peeved by his persistent refusal to obey the ordinances and he was arrested and ordered to appear Oct. 16 for trial. Bradley failed to show un and a warrant was taken out, but was not served at once, because the police were certain they would get him again. They dqid. He spert Wednes-- day night and Thursday morning of last week in the Lake Forest cala boose. Then Justice Sorenson fined Bradley $50. Friends went to his rescue and he was released.

Alfreq Prevost, 23, chauffeur for C. J. Bassler, Highland Park, Tuesday was held to the grand jury in bonds of $5,000 by Justice of the Peace Herman Schwery on a charge of having attempted an attack on Miss Amelia Caskinen, 17, a nurse maid, according to Chief of Police Edward Moroney, of Highlana Park. Moroney arrested the man last Thursday after Miss Caskinen, who is employed at the home of F. L. Carlwin, repeated her accusations which she had first disclosed to her employers. After the youngsters went to closs Prevost, according to the story told police, suggested that he take the mald home. She accepted the offer. Peter Popp, of 19862 Wilson avenue and owner of a large grocery estab-- lishment at 1967 Wilson avenue, was the most seriously injured. He suf-- fered a. compound fracture of the left leg and severe cuts about the head and body. He is also suffering severely from the shock.

Associated with the agency is the office of village clerk Mr. Boehm having served in that capacity for the past three years. Libertyville people were grgeted with a surprise Wednesday of last week when the Boehm Insurance Agency moved from their old quar-- ters at 420 N. Milwaukee Ave. on the east side <of the street in the Protine building, to the northeast room of the Kennedy building, re-- cently vacated by the Libertyville Trust & Savings Bank.
