Both these players performed bril- liantly for the Wildcats during the past three years and their absence from the squad will leave two big holes to fill. As quarterback, Baker was the lead- ing spirit of the squad, while Johnson's performance in the line made the Wild- cat's forward wall one of the most for- midable in the conference. Other capable performers who will not bel, back are Paul Griffith, Ade Schumacher |: and James Solheim, halfbacks, and Otto Siebenmann a guard. On top of the loss of these men Coach Hanley is not expecting his freshman squad of last year to present him much in the way of varsity ma- terial. There are a few youngsters, principally backfield men, who will make a strong bid for a regular job, but they are not likely to replace any of last year's regulars. Coach Hanley is pinning a lot of his hopes for success this fall on his back- field aces, Captain Vic Gustafson and Leland "Tiny" Lewis. In Gustafson the Purple mentor feels that he has one of the best ball carrying backs in the country as well as being an ex- perienced wind kicker. It is believed that he will go far towards replacing Baker. Leland "Tiny" Lewis, whose per- formance during the last two years marks him as one of the greatest full- backs in the country, will be back at his old post again this fall. Besides be- ing a powerful line plunger he is also a capable forward passer and place kicker. He is expected to be a valu- able triple threat performer in the Wildcat backfield. Another brilliant player who is expected to hold down a regular job this fall is Walt Holmer. Hanley plans to use him at half where his ability to carry the ball and pass will give the Purple mentor three passing, running and kicking backs. These men will provide a powerful at- tack which can resort to the air game if necessary. George "Yatz" Levison, a splendid blocker, who played his first year with the Wildcats last fall is to be given the quarterback assignment this year. While new at the pilot's position Hanley believes that he will fit in nicely with the first string eleven. CRUMPLES FENDER The right rear fender of a car owned by Dominic Wiezhicki, of 5410 North Lotus avenue, Chicago, was crumpled, as the result of a collision with a ma- ching owned by R. K. Bigelow, of 4315 Kildare avenue, Chicago, on Sheridan road at Elder lane, Winnetka, Sunday afternoon. The first radio fire alarm was sent out in Chicago recently, the announc- er at the Cubs baseball park telling of a fire nearby The battalion chief of the district, listening to the report of the game, responded with his men before the regular alarm box was "pulled." The largest city water pumping sta- tion in the world, with a daily capacity of 300,000,000 gallons a day, is at Wes- tern avenue and Forty-ninth street Chicago. Juvenile County Fair to Feature Palatine Exhibit A Juvenile Connty fair for the chil- dren of Cook county schools is one of the outstanding features of the Cook County fair which will be held at Pala- tine, Ill, from September 1 to 5. When Edward J. Tobin, superintend- ent of schools, of Cook county, con- ceived the idea of rural life study on the part of Cook county school chil- dren, he increased the production of | preducts by juveniles in the county, which has attracted the attention of the world. Each child in the county competes with other children for the production of the best vegetables, fruit, poultry, milk, cattle and other farm products. In addition to the Juvenile County fair, another interesting feature is the Women's Work exposition which demonstrates the progress being made in the home so far as household products are concerned. Kenilworth Residents Discuss School Issue More than one hundred residents of Kenilworth attended a meeting at the Kenilworth club, Wednesday evening of last week to discuss the matter of enlarging the Joseph Sears public school, the question being whether the Maher plan of an extension to the north should prevail, or whether, as some contend, the extension should be to the south of the present structure.
