T. Oct. 1. LaGrange at N. T. Oct. 8. Waukegan at N. T. Oct. 15. Roosevelt High at N. T. Oct. 29. Whiting, Ind., at N. T. Nov. 5. Deerfield Shields at N. T. Nov. 12. Evanston at Evanston Nov. 24. The football season will be opened at New Trier High school next Saturday when the local eleven will meet the Fenger High school team of Chicago on the local field. Inasmuch as Fenger was defeated by Deerfield of Highland Park last Saturday by a score of 52 to 0, little fear of trouble in defeating the afternoon Shields invaders by a correspondingly high score is entertained by New Trier coaches or members of the team. Ac- cording to Coach Aschenbach, the game will be utilized mainly as a practice game and all of the New Trier combi- nations and substitutes will be tried out. The line-up for New Trier as an- nounced by Coach Aschenbach will be as follows: Bennett, center; Sweet and Wienecke, guards; Rassiter and Hol- loway, tackles; Markley and Huffman, ends; H. Hicks at quarterback: Al Richards at full and Nelson and Mec- Arthur, halfbacks. Fenger Line-up It is anticipated that Fenger will start about the same line-up as was used in the Deerfield Shields game. This is as follows: Cofflin and Lebo- vitz, ends; Gunn and Rose, tackles: Stinson and Christel, guards: Free- berg, center; Walker, quarterback: Cederberg and Rosser, halfbacks: and Greco, fullback. Prospects for a successful season are good, according to Coach Aschenbach. Line material is plentiful and heavier than usual and should offer plenty of opposition on either offensive or defen- sive play. With this bulwark between the backfield and the opposing team, it should be possible to obtain much better results from backfield efforts than would otherwise be possible. The hardest game of the season, with the exception of the Evanston games, will probably be with Wauke- gan on October 15, which is the third game of the season. The schedule this vear is an exceptionally good one from the fans' standpoint as, with the ex- ception of the Thanksgiving Day game, al/ games will be played on the home eld. . Mr. and Mrs. William H. Lyon and their children, of 644 Spruce street, have returned from Watch Hill, R. I., where they were visiting Mr. Lyon's mother, Mrs. Daniel Latham Lyon.

During the baseball season many baseball clubs travei regularly on the North Shore Line, just as football teams, bowling teams and other athletic organizations use the North Shore Line during the periods when they are active. In a letter to the North Shore Line, James B. Hatton, Manager of the Logan Square Baseball Club, Chicago, says: '""The courtesies and service extended myself and the ball club are very commendable and I do not think it right to let them pass by without letting you know my sentiments. if this class of service is rendered to all patrons, distant. service.
