i ine ey KA i December 25, 1926 WINNETKA TALK Purple Hoopsters Rest Up for Clash With Notre Dame Displaying unexpected strength in its pre-holiday games, Northwestern's basketball team terminated practice for the rest of the week and will not report back until next Monday. The team will then get down to work in preparation for the contest with Notre Dame next Thursday night at South Bend. The Purple teain which was expected | to get some thorough lickings in its early starts this season surprised every- one by playing bang-up basketball. In the contest against Drake last Satur- day night the boys held the upper hand all the way and might have run up a bigger margain over the visitors had Coach Kent kept his first string men in throughout the game. George "Yatz" Levison, an Evanston boy and a sophomore on the team, won his spurs in the Drake contest and looks likely to hold down the back guard position this season. "Yatz" was inserted into the game near the close of the first half and played a fine game of basketball. Coach Kent has been looking all season for a back guard and believes that he has his man in Levison. Waldo Fisher, who went like a whirl- wind last year seems to have got his bearings following a slow start, and is expected to be the big gun for the Pur- ple on the offensive this season. He is playing the center position in able style and should be one of the best at that job in the conference this year. Little Bobby Rusch is plugging away at the forward berth and will be among the best this year. Despite his size he can fight it out with the big fel- lows and usually get the best of the argument. Harold Gleichmann, another sophomore, is working in nicely at the other forward position. Owen, Sachs, Heideman and Foster are putting up a hard* fight for the guard position. Miss Katherine Klotz, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Klotz of 722 Prospect avenue, will entertain about thirty of her friends at a winter sports party, Tuesday, December 28 at the In- dian Hill club. --_---- Carl Keith, 310 Warwick road, Ken- ilworth returned home from the Uni- versity of Illinois on Wednesday for the holidays. Scores Success iu Howard Preston The Musical Leader of Chicago, has the following comment in its issue of December 16, regarding another splen- did achievement of Howard Preston, of Wilmette, a member of the Chicago Civic Opera company : "Howard Preston was notified last Wednesday afternoon that he would sing Kurvenal in the performance of "Tristan and Isolde" at Milwaukee on Friday evening. Mr. Preston had nev- er sung the role, which is considered one of the most difficult baritone parts in the Wagnerian repertoire. Never- theless, without stage rehearsal and with but one orchestral rehearsal, he came through with flying colors and achieved a personal success. Mr. Pres- ton is one of the valuable members of the Chicago Civic Opera company." Mrs. George W. Maher, 424 War- wick road, accompanied by her father, Mr. Brooks and her niece Miss Violet Wyld, left Kenilworth for Clairmont, Cal, on December 19, where they will spend the winter. Mrs. Maher has rented her house to Dr. Orbis who will take immediate possession. --r-- Mrs. Albert Wallwick Dilling, 545 Essex road, Kenilworth, her son, Kirk- patrick, and baby daughter, Elizabeth Jane, and nurse are at the Billows hotel at Palm Beach, Fla., where the children are enjoying the bathing and recovering from colds.
