de borin Ria Sr ] October 15, 1927 WINNETKA TALK 21 Women Voters' League Notes Mrs. John N. Vander Vries, presi- dent of the Winnetka League of Women Voters, opened the first meet- ing of the year at a luncheon held in Matz hall, Community House, Monday, October 10, 245 persons being present. Mrs. Hymen read the treasurer's report and made announcement of a membership drive to be opened Oc- tober 17 by a school salesmanship held at Community House. Two new mem- bers of the board were introduced: Mrs, William A. Hadley, chairman of precinct 8, and Mrs. Carrie B. Prouty, representative of the Winnetka Neigh- borhood circles. Members are urged to remember that the November meeting is ad- vanced to November 21 because of conflict with state convention dates at Peoria. Mrs. E. S. Ballard will have charge of the program. The cahir then presented to the league Mrs. Genevieve Forbes Her- rick, a reporter on the Chicago Tri- bune, who addressed the meeting on "Immigration." A most interesting talk followed, in which Mrs. Herrick stated pertinent facts regarding immigration laws. The problem now on deck is the question of whether or not Mr. Reed's bill, based on the percentage of foreign- born in the U. S., will be accepted or whether there will be a continuance of Mr. Albert Johnson's bill, based on 2 per cent of immigrants in the U. S. at census of 1920. Mrs. Herrick chose to be an Irish immigrant and gave A most amusing incidents of her experience coming over to this country. Whereas she was compelled to stay at Ellis Island 4 or 5 days before being admitted to this country, consular offices are now provided across the water to issue vises to immigrants so that they can now tell there is a possibility of en- tering the U. S. "The problem in 1928" Mrs. Her- rick stated, "will be a patriotic one of discussion over the Reed-Johnson hills." . The meeting was adjourned with a vote of thanks to Mrs. Baker, chair- man of the luncheon committee, Mrs. Howard Shaw of 7th precinct, Mrs. Francis Lackner of the 10th precinct, and their co-workers for a delicious luncheon.

Winnetka 613 Iowa State Next Foe of Zup's Illini Squad Iowa State, of Ames, a team that came dangerously near upsetting the strong Nebraska eleven in the first game of the season, climaxes the non- conference University of Illinois sched- ule Saturday, October 15. A fumble, followed by a severe penalty deep in Iowa State territory, enabled the Nebraska Cornhuskers to take the Ames Cyclones 6 to 0. Noel Workman, half of the famous fraternal "Workman to Workman" forward pass combination at Ohio State seven years ago, coaches the Towa State eleven and appropriately enough the Cyclones feature a strong air attack. The scoring end of this aerial threat is expected to be an Illi- nois athlete, Marvin Firch, of Geneseo, high school classmate of Fritz Hum- bert, best looking fullback on Coach Bob Zuppke's squad. Firch weighs 175 pounds, is fast and a good pass receiver. Following the game with Towa State, Zup plunges into the Big Ten sched- ule, meeting five conference teams in a row, beginning with Northwestern, co-champion in 1926 at Evanston, Oc- tober 22. Two conference games will be played in the stadium, Michigan at Homecoming, October 29, and Chicago, November 12, Dad's Day. Ticket sales for the Michigan game have passed the 40,000 mark, but ac- commodations are still available since the stadium seats 67,000 persons. Plenty of seats also are left for the Chicago game. Mrs. Ralph Varney of 535 Cherry street will entertain a number of her friends and their mothers at an after- noon tea Monday in honor of Madame Varney of Boston, who is a guest of her son and daughter-in-law.
