TP ---- WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1923 3 N. U. GRIDDERS START WORKOUT TEACHING "PEARS TO BE A PLEASANT TASK Now that the teachers are back at their accustomed posts in the public Array of Promising Talent Is schools, it is interesting to note how on Hand Coach Thistlethwaite of Northwester some of them spent the vacation season.

Miss Florence Fake of the Hubbard Woods school also taught at a summer "I am no believer in winning games | camp. before we play them," the coach added. "When I say our material seems to average a little better I am taking into What I do mean is that our material should turn consideration possible injuries. out a team slightly better than la year's." Miss Douglas Whitehead, supervisor of dramatics in the Winnetka schools, vis- ited her family in California. While there she taught play production in the School of the Theatre for Drama Teach- ers conducted by Prof. Sam Hume, for- merly director of the Detroit Art Theatre. st Miss Hazel Hartwell, new principal of Horace Mann school, attended the Biology and Natural Science camp of the University of Michigan. Miss Kate Dwyer of Horace Mana school made a trip to California. While there she made an extensive tour of the state. Mrs. Harold Cleveland of the Horace Mann school enjoyed a motor trip to New York during the summer. ECONOMIES iN LIGHT "It is estimated that over half a billion dollars were paid in 1922 for electricity used in the United States for electric lighting. If the present day intensity of lighting were pro- duced by using the bamboo carbon lamp of 1880, the cost of lighting in 1922 would have been increased three and one-half billion dollars. This would have required about fifty mil- lion additional tons of coal, about ten per cent of the total coal production in the United States, to generate the amount of light actually used." Baseball is said to be dying out in the Philippines, which is another in- disputable evidence that the people are not yet ready for independence.-- Purple Home Games Northwestern hasn't an especially at- tractive home schedule this year. The full list of games follows: October 6, Beloit at Evanston; October 13, In- diana at Indianapolis; October 20, Chi- cago at Chicago; October 27, Greater Northwestern Day, Illinois at Cubs park, Chicago; November 3, Minnesota at Minneapolis ; November 10, Lake For- est at Evanston; November 17, Purdue at Lafayette; and November 24, Home- Coming, Iowa at Kvanston. As for material, Coach Thistle- thwaite and Capt. Bill McElwain have been busy the last few weeks rounding up by letter both the men who got their "N's" or who did some playing last year and the last year's freshmen group as well. Out of 100 or more candidates the coach and captain think that at least sixty show enough promise to deserve special training and attention. Horton Tackle Prospect Two of the Purple's chief problems will be at center and at quarterback. Larry Horton who played center in stellar fashion last year may be sent into the line at tackle while T. Lowry of last year freshman team may be tried in the middle position. Lowry played a strong game at center for the frosh and is expected to do better on the 'varsity. If that is so, it will give the Purple a valuable man for tackle position. Henry Penfield who played one of the tackles in great style for three years has been graduated and will help Maury coach the freshmen team this fall. It will be difficult, the coach admits, to fill Henny's shoes. Horton is a strong, ag- gressive player and should fit in well. On the quarter-back job the quintet which the coach now has in mind for special training are MaclLennon who starred with the frosh a year ago; Christman, another good man who played regular quarter on the yearlings; Lauder, a sub-half last year who has made a favorable impression upon the coach; Martin, a biblical school student taking work in liberal arts, and Graham, a promising half-back last year who may be groomed into the pivotal post if he shows the stuff. "Out of this group," quoth the coach, "we ought to get two or more good quarter-backs." Northwestern's student body will not be on the campus in full strength until September 19 or 20 but the athletes there are so loyal and ambitious, the coaches assert, that every man who can possibly reach Evanston on the fifteenth is re- lied upon to be in regalia at 9:30 that morning. Among the old-timers expected on the start of practice are Ralph Coun- tryman, a guard; Otis Hastings, a sub- tackle ; Herman Hathaway, who won all his wrestling scraps in the 158 pound class last winter, who plays end; Knowles Hollowell, a prospective center; Edward Herman, end, who won his N; Larry Horton, N man who was center; Albert Kelly, an N man who played guard; Guy Davis, N man who played tackle; Ray Lauder, a good hali-back; Glenn Magnuson, N man, a husky guard; Capt. McElwain, a player of the first rank; John Scott, tried out last year in a few games at tackle; Sam Taylor, end, if he 1s eligible, which looks dubious now ; Bob Weinecke, an N man, last year at full-back; C. W. Johnson, of the dental school, who did well at end, also an N man; Charlie Kelly, N man, half-back; John Lane, center; Jacob "Plirto, a dent, full-back ; Clarence Simon, guard; Leslie Van Doren, quarter; Oliver Vinnedge, end; Tom Wolfe, half, an N man, and Clarence Shearon, medic, N man, an end, Some of last year's freshmen counted on to respond to the starter's bell are Wallace Banner, fast half-back; George Booker, a colored lad, who starred in Cook County two years ago in high- school circles, whose place is tackle; R. G. Bouscher, pole-vaulter, whose place is at end; William Christman, quarter; John Carpenter, a yearling tackle; Alva Graham, a half-back who may work in at quarter; Gordon Garnett, end; C. C. Johnson, who played full-back; Burton Briggs, a new guard; D. W. Seright, a quarter-back from South Dakota; A. C. Martin, a likely man for quarter; 1. Lowry, who weighs 190 ad may go to center; Frank Mathews, a guard; R. F. MacLennon, prospective quarter; Walier Seidel, end, and three medical students, Hartlett, a guard, North, a guard, and De Steffano, a full-back. : Going Away to School?
