-- WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 29, 1925 PURPLE TURNS FOOTBALL-WARD Forward Line Must Be Re- built This Season Whipping together a new forward line to replace the veterans lost through graduation will be the early task which will face Coach Glenn Thistlethwaite at Northwestern Uni- versity as the 1925 grid season gets under way. Out of eleven letter men who will be missing when the candidates gather for the first time on September 15, nine of them are linemen. This one. sided situation is causing the Purple mentor considerable apprehension and he will center his activities during the early practice sessions in getting a line on just what material he has available for the forward positions. The loss of Parsons, Townsend, Smith, Kelly and Simonds, all of them powerful and reliable guards leaves the filling of these two positions to untried sophomore material. Just how much can be expected from this .new crop of candidates is always a matter of doubt and whether they will be able to make the grade remains to be seen. Need New Guards "Duke" Cohen and Jim Ford are the only guards remaining on the squad who won their letters last fall. Both these men were injured frequently last season and it is doubtful whether they will 'be able to accept the call for first line duty. Besides finding a couple of regulars, Coach Thistlethwaite must build up a reservetforce. All in all, the job of filling the guard positions on the Purple eleven this fall begins to look like a mighty difficult task. The tackle and end assignments have more promise as here the coach has a number of likely performers re- maining from last season, as well as a crop of new comers who should develop into good reserve material. Bruce, Johnson and Seibenmann will form the nucleus of veteran tackles around which will be built the oncom- ing sophomores. Wally Seidel and Barney Mathews are the only ends remaining from the 1924 eleven. Seidel is one of the ablest ends developed at Northwestern in years and Coach Thistlethwaite ex- pects him to hold down one of the flanks regularly. From the sophomore ranks will come Waldo, Fisher, Fargo, N. D., whose performance with the freshmen last fall marks him as a likely candidate for an end position. He is fleet, lithe and can catch passes which should make him an excellent teaming mate for Seidel. However, here again, as in the guard positions the creation of a reserve strength is going to be a problem. No Worry Here Center is one of the few positions about which Coach Thistlethwaite is not worrying greatly. Captain Tim Lowry, a husky, reliable chap who has played consistent ball for the past two years, will be at the pivot job. "Fight- ing Tim" has been a tower of strength in the line for the Purple. Last season he won a position on a number of all- conference selections and he should be in for one of the biggest seasons of his career. Lester Greenberg, former Chicago high school prep star, and Dan Dorchester, who hails from Smith- town, N. Y., will be used as reserves for the center job. The backfield does not present such a problem. Led by the fleetfooted "Moon" Baker at half the Purple back- field should be one of the fastest com- binations developed at Northwestern in years. Other backs from last season who will help bolster this department are Harold White, "Ziggie" Solheim, Al Edmunds and Frank Schumacker. Vic Gustafson and Leland Lewis are two backfield men from the freshman squad who are expected to work into regular berths on the eleven. Lewis, it is hoped, will fill the full back posi- tion left open by the graduation of Captain Bob Weinecke. Miss Katherine Hamilton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Leonard Hamil- ton of 412 Walnut street, returned re- cently from the Berkshire Summer School of Art where she enjoyed a most delightful period of study. After leaving there, she spent a week as a guest at Mrs. Gerald H. Beard's cot- tage in Lisbon, N. H. Miss Hamilton has now joined a group of friends at a house party in Coloma, Mich. --0-- Mr. and Mrs. John C. Cobb of 615 Elm street were expected to return to their home Thursday evening after touring Wisconsin for about two weeks. Phone Winnetka 32 16 PROUTY ANNEX WINNETKA TEAMING & SUPPLY CO. L. J.

Resumes Courses in Theory, Practice Greater Chicago's rapid expansion and the keen public interest in real estate is reflected and well illustrated in the greater provision being made by the schools and universities of the city and environs to accommodate the in- creasing numbers of young men who desire to study the real estate business. Realizing the growing importance of real estate selling as a vocation for young men, the Y. M. C. A. School of Commerce, one of the largest of the downtown night schools, is leaving nothing undone to provide the greatest possible facilities for teaching the the- ory and practice of real estate. A special course is given, and at the close of two years study the student receives a diploma signed jointly by the Y. M. C. A. School of Commerce and the Na- tional Association of Real Estate boards. Students enrolled in this course last year numbered 400, and arrange- ments are being made in preparation for a much larger registration this year. Announcements for the coming year, which opens September 15, include the selection of J. A. Humphreys to direct the School of Commerce. Dean Hum- phreys formerly was manager of the personnel service bureau, which gives pwocational guidance and individual counsel to every student in the Y. M. C. A. schools. At one time he was principal of the Skokie school, Win- netka. Four schools are maintained by the Central Y. M. C. A--the School of Commerce, College of Arts and Sci- ences and a day and evening prepara- tory school where students may lift themselves to meet the requirements for entrance into the accredited college courses of the first two departments. Total enrollment in the schools in 1924 was 5,354, an increase of 101 per cent during the five-year period, 1919-24. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas W. Hearne, 734 Foxdale avenue, left Monday for a fortnight's motor trip to Towa. They expect to include in their stops, Clin- ton, Cedar Rapids, Des Moines, Sioux City, Fort Dodge, Dubuque and Water- loo. eee Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Rockwood, 598 Lincoln avenue, and their children are spending a fortnight as the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Glen Bull at their sum- mer camp in Canada where the Bulls have been spending the summer sea- son. They will not return until early autumn. Anniversary Sale Here's a big bargain! We are selling! .75 dresses for $6.75 each, and they're eas- ily worth $19.75.
