WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MARCH 11, 1922 5 _- ms -- Sm---------- COACH WILFRED L. CHILDS. NEW TRIER. WIN CLAIN TO TITLE MIRAGLE-MAN Basketball Coach Molds Verdant Squad Into Championship Material; Cop District Honors by Squelching Fast Oak Park Coach Wilfred L. Childs, veteran athletic director at New Trier High school, who for years has specialized in the department of basketball, fre- quently tells a miracle story which has to do with a cow sitting on a thistle singing like a bird. "Such a circum- ctance, says Mr. Childs, would con- stitute a miracle." So Mr. Childs, the story-teller, has come by the name of '"Miracle-man." Today Coach Childs is acclaimed as a miracle man of the bona fide, genu- ine, A-No. 1, variety. For Coach | Childs this winter took an inexperi- enced, unheralded, make-shift basket- ball squad, drove it through a season of up and down fighting and--here is the miracle--landed it on top in the District tournament. In other words, he towed what has been considered a mediocre squad through to a thrilling | finish and copped the bunting for our | north shore school. Makes Champs of Novices With every member of the 1920 light and heavyweight teams graduated last June, Coach Childs was forced, this winter, to assemble an entirely inexperienced and thoroughly verdant | group of youngsters as basketball pros- pects for the stiff competition in the Suburban High school league. One exception to the extreme verdancy was Lionel Anderson, captain, who last season was a substitute on the light- weight squad. Humble Big Oak Parkers Coach Childs is a miracle man be- cause, out of this hodge-podge of ma- terial he developed a squad that, in the heavyweight class, won the dis- trict championship by decisively de- feating Oak Park, Suburban League champions, on the Oak Park floor, gained second place in the Suburban | league race and looks good to win the 1922 State Championship. | The lightweights, miraculous as it | may seem, are tied with Oak Park | for the championship of the Suburban | league. Every year except two, since the | Suburban league was organized Coach Childs' cohorts have won either first or second places in the Suburban | league. Coach Childs, an extremely modest man, is the idol alike of New Trier athletes and the entire student body. He is a graduate of the Association college, Chicago, studied three years at Chicago University and was later a student at Yale and Harvard. Assistant to Staag During the years 1903-1905 he was | assistant to Coach Stagg at Chicago University, in charge of basketball, and in 1905 piloted his men to a Conference championship tie with Wis- consin. This, in the second year of the sport at Chicago University. In 1902 he coached an Austin High | caps of a small school, miniature gym- Team 40--25 which during that period defeated all contenders, winning the championship of the state. Coach Childs came to New Trier in 1909 and for several years coached the school in all sports. 'Working continually under the handi- nasium, and a student body averaging two years younger than the members of competing high school teams, he managed each year to turn out a credi- | table squad which made the going difficult for its competitors. 1910 A Big Year In 1910, with a team that started | the season as novices New Trier, by virtue of Coach Child's indefatigable work, won the Central States cham- pionship. In the following year the lightweights achieved a record of 19 straight victories. In 1913 New Trier won the District championship tournament at Aurora, losing in the subsequent State Cham- pionship semi-finals because of the illness of captain Mills. In 1915 Coach Childs team won the championship of the Surburban league. In 1918 the school captured the Dis- trict tournament at Joliet, only to lose out in the final state tournament at Peoria by a single point. In 1919 New Trier Lights and Featherweights took first honors in the Suburban league. In 1920 the featherweight division was discontinued in the league but the New Trier lights copped again and the heavyweights missed the peak by one game, later won the district cham- pionship to Marion, Ill, by a lone point. Arry coach who can take a group of raw recruits and develop a cham- pionship team within a period of a few months, as Childs did this season with the heavyweights, certainly is nothing other than a miracle man--one might almost venture, a super-miracle man. And here's "hats off" to the team that worked like a bunch of beavers under Coach Childs' expert tutelage. Look 'em over.
