: o CER | TF a = WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1924 11 Plunging Bob' Wienecke Ends Brilliant Career on Gridiron Former New Trier Hero Quits Game in Blaze of Glory Saturday It seems but a short while ago that Bob Wieneeke was doing things in a most aggressive and highly successiul manner with a New Trier high school football squad. Fresh in our memory are the press comments concerning Bob, the "plunging fullback" of the Suburban league. Yes, it seems but a little while, vet that Bob already has passed far beyond the high school days and today we hear of Capt. Bob Wienecke who completes his football career with Northwestern university. The Notre Dame game of last Satur- day formally rang down the curtain cn the Glencoe boy's achievements on the gridiron. It rang down the curtain on a season in which Northwestern, held at the outset to be a hopeless loser, ploughed its way through to a glorious finish that, with just a break here and there, might have meant Notre Dame's only defeat of the year. After being hurt in the middle of the season last year, Wienecke returned to play a brilliant game against Iowa and was chosen to lead the Purple for 1924. Although he did not find himself in the first game of the season, he did soon after, and it was a common sight to see him make first down on two successive plunges. His manner of hitting and then hurdling the line has been responsible for a number of touchdowns when North- western needed that many points to win. It was supposed to be his ball on the play where Northwestern failed to score a touchdown against Purdue, but because of a mixup in signals he did not receive it and the Purple lost the ball and con- sequently the game. Had he got it there is little doubt that Northwestern would have won its first conference strugzle and have had a better rating in the Big Ten. The way in which he backed up the line in the Chicago game had much to do with the stopping of the powerful McCarthy. He was there at the right time and smashed pay after play. More than once in that game and others throughout the season his grounding of forward passes prevented gains by other teams. He was noted throughout the conference for his brilliant work on de- fense. In the Michigan game Bob was hurt early in the second half but refused to take time out for nine plays after that until the officials noticed that he was hurt and took him out. Suffering from this same injury, strained ligaments in his shoulder, he went in to the Chicago game and played one of the best games of his college career. Bob has played at Northwestern for four years, winning his numerals on the freshman squad and a letter every year since. Before coming to Northwestern he played with New Trier. His home is in Glencoe. WELFARE CONFERENCE A Child Welfare conference is held every Wednesday from 2 to 4 o'clock at the Grosse Point Health Center, Wilmette and Ridge avenues, Wil- mette.

A. Cs Trounce Winnetka Gridders in Sunday Tilt Wilmette's fast-stepping A. C. foot- ball men won their fifth straight vic- tory last Sunday afternoon by trounc- ing Winnetka, 13 to 0. Captain Brown of the locals was knocked unconscious and carried off the field early in the second quarter. This set-back seemed for a time to take the pep out of his teammates and the spectators looked for a scoreless tie. But they were to be disappointed for Brown regained consciousness and stepped back into the fray in the last quarter, instilling his mates with an abundance of speed, with the result that "Chick" Johnson negotiated a spectacular end run for a touchdown. Heinze added an extra point by a goal kick. ; Again, Wilmette received the ball on the- kick-off and carried it to mid- field, where a forward pass, several line plunges and Brown's 30-yard dash through a broken line, netted another touchdown. Heinze failed to kick goal. Present "Wizard of Oz" on North Shore Dec. 4 On Thursday afternoon, December 4, the Junior league Players will pre- sent "The Wizard of Oz," with the original Montgomery and Stone cos- tumes, in the auditorium of the Elm Place school in Highland Park. The performance is announced as identical with that given in Chicago on Saturday mornings, and grown-ups, as well as children, will find it clever and entertaining. The play will be- gin at 4 o'clock. Tickets may be secured from Mrs. Bruce MacLeish, 85 Wentworth ave- nue, Glencoe, or at the Skokie school, Winnetka.

TRY HIM We know of a man who had tie idea that if he needed glasses he'd have to go to the Loop to get them. This idea was not the re- sult of long and careful consid- eration but held by him simply as a matter of habit. He looked at it this way: The glasses he was wearing came from a Loop doctor and if he wanted new ones he'd naturally have to go to the same doctor. The time came when he found it necessary to be refitted with glasses. When could he go to the doctor's office? He never went to the Loop except on Saturdays and even then not regularly. He was working in a north shore town. Suddenly the idea occurred to him, Why not try the eye-doc- tor in the town where he was working? It would take compara- tively little time and trouble. And with the same ease he could get the glasses when they were ready. Then arose the question, Will this local man give satisfaction? He inquired of others who were wear- ing glasses furnished by the local eye-man. They were well satis- fied. So he made the trial, and he too was satisfied. Give the local man a chance to show what good work he can do. Sample the goods offered by your fellow-townsman.

Engine trouble was the she was equipped with sails, the masts had been taken down, as it was the in- tention of the crew to lay her up for the winter. After attempting to make sail and fail- ing because there was no wind, they gave the Coast Guard the distress signal and Captain Otto Fricke with his crew answered by launching the station's mo- tor boat and going to their assistance. They towed the launch to Wilmette har- bor. : Captain Fricke reports that most of the smaller craft have left the water.

Oppose Careless Listing of Local Business Firms Objection to the listing of business firms on the north shore in the classi- fied telephone directory under the Wilmette heading, was made by mem- bers of the Winnetka Chamber of Commerce at the regular meeting held Wednesday night at the Community House. William T. Wersted, secre- tary of the Chamber was instructed to write to the Rueben H. Donnelley corporation, which makes the listings, requesting classifica- tions. A report by the membership com- mittee indicated a ready response to the raise in dues. Soon the organiza- tion will launch a "new member drive," it was announced. Paul Reschke and C. T.
