GREENLEAF 4220 New Trier High school's powerful football eleven kept its record clean last Saturday and in doing so decisively defeated a team that had never be- · fore lost to the Gray and Green warriors. Oak Park was the victim . by a 19 to 0 score. Last Saturday's victory over Oak Park was the fourth for New Trier this year, and marks Coach Ashenbach's proteges as one of the strongest football teams in the Chicago area. The team's victories this year have been decisive. Lake View fell, 26 to 0: Waukegan and Oak Park succumbed by 19 to 0 scores: Kenosha was smothered 39 to 7. Only one team, Lindblom · of Chicago, succeeded in holding New Trier. The score was 6 to 6. New Trier scored in every quarter of the game with Oak Park last Saturday except the first, which was devoted chiefly to an exchange of punts between Nelson of New Trier and Lovett of Oak Park. New Trier's atte~pted passes were unsuccessful in this ouarter. The second ouarter told a different story, for Tom Hicks. who had been sent in for Benny Richards a cter being laid up with injuries most of the season, grabbed a pass from Nelson on the 50-yard line and raced across the goal line. At the half the score stood-New Trier 6. Oak Park 0. After working the hall down to their opponents' 5-yard line in the t hir 11 ouarter by plunging and pas sing, K ew Trier fumbled and had to start ovr·: again. Hunter Hick s r eturned a punt to Oak Park's 25-yard line , where N elson threw him a pass. Hicks was thrown out of bounds one yard from the goal, but At Richards plunged through center for a second New Trier touchdown, making the score 12 to 0 for the north shore bovs at the end of the third quarter. More passes featurerl the fourth quarter play and New Trier was ahle to score another touchdown. Rossiter kicked goal. and the scoring- ended with New Trier ahead 19 to 0. Oak Parl<'s last quarter aerial a·ttack was futile. The kicking, running, and defensive work of Lovett. Oa'< Park quarterback, made him the oustanding olayer on the west suburhan high school team. Tom Hicks anti "Morrv" Nelson did excellent work for New Trier, although the whole New Trier team was functioning well. The lineuo and summary: New Trier (19 Oak Park (0) Hall, Guy J.... F..
