\ Loud WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1924 25 OHIO-ILLINI IN SEASON WIND-UP Zuppke Looks Forward to Hectic Clash The Ohio State-Illinois gridiron duel, maker of past champions and always pregnant with thrills as the grid classic of the midwest, looms up as the season closes this week, when Buckeyes and Illini meet in Mem- orial stadium at Champaign to set- tle for another year the annual riv- alry. Coaches Zuppke and Wilce, long time annual rivals, are banking their hopes for a successful season on this battle, and are driving their teams hard all this week in preparation for it. As to the outcome, everyone knows better than to guess at it, for these two aggregations have taught the football world not to take them for granted. "Zup" knows and fears Ohio's pass- ing attack, since it is Wilce's most potent threat and has upset the Illini more than once in the past. Hoge Workman, who heaved the aerials for the Bucks for the past three years, has finished his college career, but "Cookie" Cunningham, a 190- pound end, has proven himself a mighty successor to him. Ohio has not had a highly successful season and is in a fighting state of mind, determined to beat its ancient foe. Ohio will be trying to get Ollie Klee, the back who dashed 60 yards to beat Illinois in the last quarter in 1923, into the open and pass to him. while the Illini count on Grange. New Trier Instructors On Convention Program Three instructors of New Trier high school are among the speakers at the annual staté teachers' convention which has been in session since Thurs- day, November 20, and continues un- til Saturday night, November 22, at Champaign, Illinois. Mrs. Homer E. Cotton is on the pro- gram with a lecture on "Differentiated Curriculum," Miss Mary S. King will talk on "Recruiting for Librarianship" and L. E. Hildebrand will speak on "The High School Museum." David Kinley, president of the University of Illinois, and William McAndrews, superintendent of Chicago schools, are among the other speakers. In addition to those of the New Trier high school faculty who will deliver addresses, the following are also attending the convention: Super- intendent F. E. Clerk, F. A. Kahler, W. S. Snyder, W. L: Brown and Donald Carpenter. New Trier Freshies Show High Vocabulary Standard Seven freshmen and 37 per cent of the seniors at New Trier high school have vocabularies equal to or greater than the average college fresh- man, according to the results of the Inglis Vocabulary test which recently was given to the members of the Senior and Freshman classes. Five students registered vocabularies as large as the average college graduate possesses. The Inglis test was given for the purpose of aiding instructors in bring- ing out the probable obstacles of the individual students. The test showed that 76 per cent of freshmen and 71 per cent of seniors measured up to or showed better results than the av- erage for their classes. To show the standing of the fresh- men and seniors after a year's study, a similar test will be given in May. AIR MAIL TELEPHONES Long distance telephones for the convenience of air mail pilots have been established at several of the emergency landing fields in the West. The telephones are for use in connec- tion with the air mail between San Francisco and New York. If pilots . are forced to land they are thus able to communicate immediately their regular landing fields. with SIX LAKE SHORE AUTO SALES Sales Room and Service Station 1010-16 Chicago Ave., Evanston, Ill.
