TWO STORES FOUNTAIN SQUARE--EVANSTON High School Store--Church Street Elevator LL Main Store LEADER IN TENNIS John Sheldon of Glencoe, New Trier Student, Called Best Net Player in Western United States Johnny Sheldon of Glencoe, and a student at New Trier High school, [ranks as the best boy tennis player in the western section of the United | States Lawn Tennis association. This lis the official ranking of the Western |Lawn Tennis association made public |recently by Leo J. Lunn, chairman of {the ranking committee. Sheldon's impressive record through- out the season, climaxed by his win- ning the Western Boys' Singles cham- [pionship, gives him a clear margin to {the title. Fred Brace of Pontiac, Mich., | was second, and Nick Luckats of Gary, Ind., was third. Sheldon brought further honors to {New Trier when he and Nick Luckats Iwere ranked second in the boys' doubles. He also won the Chicago | Daily News' city championship, and |was runner-up in the Illinois State championship. He has been on the | New Trier tennis team for the last | two years. | Tennis is not the only sport Sheldon is efficient at, which is borne out by all who have seen him play on the basketball floor. He has been playing fine basketball, turning in his best game recently against Morton, when he made five baskets and two free throws. However, Sheldon's activities are not all confined to sports. He is president of the junior class and vice-president of the Tri-Ship club, two of the highest honors a junior can attain at New Trier. John is the son of Mr. and Mrs. James M. Sheldon, 241 South avenue, Glencoe. Purple Natators Out for Another Stellar Season Northwestern university's swimming team, which has the enviable record of piling up three Big Ten championships and one national title during the last four years is putting up some strenu- ous licks these days in preparation for the forthcoming game. Coach Tom Robinson, the veteran mentor of Purple swimming teams, has returned from a tour of the far West and is putting his splashers through daily practice sessions. While Tom is not promising another title crew this season his performers are expected to be up around the top again. North- western opens the conference season with Purdue at Fvanston on Feb- ruary 5. Northwestern's string of swimming championships began in 1923 and con- tinued through 1925. In 1924 the team traveled to Annapolis and annexed the national intercollegiate title. The team tied the Navy the following year. Last season the Purple won the water polo championship. Rough Plaster Finish Used in the Corridors Corridors in the new Georgian hotel have walls finished in a unique fashion. A special treatment was applied to them after the final coat of tan plaster had been put on; the result is a rough, coarse surface. Woodwork in the corridor is English walnut. A stippled red band borders the length of the halls along the cornice. Corresponding to this single color note, the fireproof floors are covered with a deep rose carpet. The numbers of the rooms are indicated on bronze knockers.
