16 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1925 =] OPEN BIG RADIO SHOW NEXT WEEK North Shore Fans Urged to Attend Chicago Exhibit A place of attraction for north shore fans during the week of September 28 to October 3, will be the National Ex- position and the Allied Radio Con- gress combined, at the National Expo- sition Palace, 666 Lake Shore drive, Chicago. Virtually all the manufactur- ers of radio sets and equipment in the country and a majority of the dealers of the Central West will be repre- sented at the show with attractive booths and displays. The early holding of the show in advance of the active radio season is to give the public a peep at the newest things and to acquaint them with the latest developments in radio. Most of the exhibits will be shipped direct from the two radio shows now in pro- gress in New York. The Chicago show is looked on as being an amalgama- tion of the Eastern ones. At the National Radio Exposition amateur set builders will be allowed to display their ingenious works, and prizes will be awarded to those judged to have entered the best set- This con- test is open to all. High school youths especially are invited to enter. Radio fans attending the show will find plenty of diverting entertainment every afternoon and evening it is promised. Chicago broadcasting sta- tions will pass in review before their admirers and will "do their stuff" just as it is done at the home station. Fans at the show will be called on to vote in a popularity contest for their favorite entertainers and to decide for the benefit of local stations, the type of musical program, jazz, classical, operatic or old-time music they prefer. A strike vote against stations broad- casting on Mondays or Silent Nights will also be recorded, to find whether fans favor their continuance. The entertainment at the show and the balloting will be conducted by the Broadcast Listeners Association of America, which will have a booth and acomprehensive exhibit. Mrs. A.

Red Grange will lead the Uni- versity of Illinois football team against the strong University of Nebraska eleven in the first game of the season in the Illinois Memorial Stadium Satur- day, October 3. Although this is the first game, it is far different from the usual "practice" contest. Nebraska is usually the champion of the Missouri valley and the Cornhuskers in 1922 and 1923 defeated Notre Dame. Instead Nebraska is one of the three big games in the Illinois stadium this season. The whole sporting world will look to the Illini amphitheater that day. From New York is com- ing a delegation of sports writers, headed by Grantland Rice, dean of the corps. All of the big news reels and news photograph syndicates will have their photographers on the Everybody wants to see Red Grange start the 1925 season. Bob Zuppke says that it will require the best performances of Grange, backed up by a good line and excel- lent team work, to repulse the Corn- huskers. Two years ago Grange made his first appearance in varsity football against Nebraska, scoring three touchdowns on the team which afterwards licked Notre Dame. Last vear at Lincoln, Grange did not score a touchdown in the tight game which Illinois won, 9 to 7, but Red did throw the pass which spelled victory. It is a cinch that Red will play the greater part if not every bit of the Nebraska game. If it is as tough a game as the | | Optometrist Illini expect he will be in there every minute.

An analysis of a group of 234 new students reveals that 62 percent had one or both parents born in 25 dif- ferent foreign nations. Intelligence tests applied to the new students showed a high average in- tellectual level for high school stu- dents. Twenty-eight percent have an I.
