Potsy Clark, Illinois Grad, Returns as Foe Now that George (Posty) Clark will be coach of the Butler football team which plays in the University of Illinois stadium on October 8, oldtimers recall his exploits when he was quarterback of the championship Illini elevens of 1914 and 1915. When an all-time Illinois eleven was selected recently, there was unan- imous opinion that Posty was the greatest quarterback in Orange and Blue annals. The new Butler coach not only was a master hand in piloting teams but he was a great open fiel runner. His feats in 1914 included runs the length of the field through Chicago and Wisconsin. In 1915 when Illinois met Minnesota for the championship Clark played with his head in a mask to protect a broken jaw but despite this disadvantage it was he who scored the touchdown which gave Illinois a tie with the Gophers and a share in the conference leadership. D. H. Burnham Family Moves to Hubbard Woods Evanston is losing prominent resi- dents in the removal of the D. H. Burnham family to their home at Hubbard Woods. Following fourteen years' residence here, they have purchased two beau- tifully wooded acres along Fisher's Lane and have remodeled the house there to where they expect to move the first of October. Mrs. Burnham has returned from her summer at Charlevoix to superintend building finalities there. The two sons of the family will be entered in school this year at the Middlesex school, Con- cord, Mass. Last year, with Mrs. Burnham, they spent the winter in Switzerland. Mr. Burnham will ac- company them east about September 20. September 17, 1927 ee -- PLAN WALTON PICNIC North Shore Chapters to Join with Other Groups in Cook County at Frolic Sunday, September 18 All chapters of the Izaak Walton league in Cook county, including those in Wilmette and Winnetka, will unite in a picnic to be held Sunday, Septem- ber 18, at dam No. 2, DesPlaines river, DesPlaines, according to an announce- ment by the county central committee of the league. The picnic will be the initial activity d|in the fall and winter program of the Waltonites here. It is announced that an intensive effort will be made toward expansion of the Cook county organi- zation to a membership of 15000 by next spring. There are now 4,000 members in 24 chapters. Bait and fly casting events, tree chopping, log sawing, canoe tilting and similar sports are on the program. The center of activities will be at the Walton league cabin, donated to the league members by the county. According to Chicago officials of the league, the Cook county picnic will open activities of the league in line with the new nation-wide conservation survey to be made by the National or- ganization under the direction of Seth E. Gordon, new conservation director of the league. Mr. Gordon was for- merly executive officer of the Penn- sylvania Game commission, and re- sponsible for the "Pennsylvania Sys- tem" of game administration. It is expected that cleaning up of pollution in the DesPlaines river will be a major objective of the Cook county organization, and that cleaning up of the Illinois river and other streams in this state, in order to pro- vide fishing for those who can not take long trips, will soon have the attention of the league in an intensive anti-pol- lution campaign.
