TH THY TT HH TT Ht YH TT TH TT TT EE November 20, 1926 WINNETKA TALK cr a 49 EI ---- Winning Team Not New for Purple's Sad-Faced Mentor Northwestern's spurt to the top of the conference football heap this fall is not the first time that Glenn Thistlethwaite has coached a winning football team during his eighteen years as head football coach. The Purple mentor who is now end- ing his fifth year at Northwestern, be- gan coaching at Illinois college at Jacksonville, Ill, back in 1908. In fourteen years of coaching before coming to Northwestern his teams won eighty-nine games, lost sixteen and tied two. 7 ; Teams coached by Thistlethwaite have participated in 145 games. Out of this number 109 were won, thirty-three lost and three tied. Coach Thistlethwaite came to North- western in 1922 after the Purple emerg- ed from a disastrous season in 1921. 'In his first year the team won three games, lost four and tied one. In the second year with a team composed largely of new men the going was hard and the team won only two out of eight games. In 1924, however, the Purple began to hit its stride and in a great game held Chicago 3 to 0 and lost to Notre Dame's four horsemen 13 to 6. In the latter game the Wildcats gave the famous Irish eleven the hardest game it had run into during the season. Last year further success came Northwestern's way. Coach Thistle- thwaite brought his team through a hard schedule with six victories and two defeats. Michigan, conference champs, were defeated 3 to 2 and Notre Dame was held to a 13 to 10 This season with still one more game to go the Purple has won six and lost one. Notre Dame again proved the nemesis of the Wildcats this time win- ning out in the final moments of a thrilling struggle, 6 to 0. Iowa is met Saturday at Iowa City in the final game of the season. A victory over the Hawkeyes will give the Wildcats a perfect conference sea- son, an accomplishment which has never been obtained by a Northwestern team.

Suburb Traffic Arrests Exceed Those in Chicago In commenting on the condition of the highways in Cook county prior to | the speed trap campaign, Charles M. Hayes, president of the Chicago Mo- tor club says: "This condition is shown graphically in a number of charts prepared by the bureau of inquiry of the Chicago Mo- tor club. One chart compares arrests in towns outside of Chicago with ar- rests in Chicago. The co-operative ef- fort of the State's attorney's office, the press, and the Chicago Motor club coupled with support of the citizens in the various towns, has resulted in a thorough cleanup of the highways. However, here is the condition that did exist prior to the campaign: for every 100 persons in Chicago, five arrests were made: for every 100 persons in seventy-eight towns checked, seventeen arrests were made; in Chicago, two of the five arrested out of every hun- dred were fined, but in the seventy- eight towns, fifteen out of the seven- teen were fined.
