| February 18, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 19 New Trier Swim Teams Conquer Oak Park Entry New Trier swimmers took away the heavy ends of a swimming meet with the Oak Park high school aquatic wonders, last Saturday afternoon. The grey-and-green seniors triumphed over the invaders 31 to 28, while the ponies won, 26 to 24. Bennett, in very slow time, took the senior 40 yard swim. The 100 yard swim also was won by the New Trier captain. Bartholomew of Oak Park narrowed the difference between the two teams on the score-board by win- ning the 220 yard swim. In a very close and fiercely contested race, Rog- ers of the home men, nosed out Per- kins by a few inches in the 100 yard breaststroke. This was the last senior event taken by New Trier. The 60- yard backstroke went to Bartholomew of Oak Park. Meisenheimer won the fancy diving by a margin of three points. The relay was awarded to Oak Park when one of the New Trier men started before his predecessor had finished the race. Gelder of Oak Park was the star of the juniors, with first place in the 40 and 100 yard swims. The 40 yard breaststroke went to Lennox of the invaders, and N. Granstrom in the backstroke took the only first place for the junior locals. Granberg easily out-drove Coach Jackson's entries. At this point, although the invaders had captured every first place but one, the New Trier lads had kept following, with second and third in every event but the backstroke, the score standing at 24 to 21 in favor of the west sub- urbanites. The grey-green swimmers rose to the occasion, and, in a time that they usually better by two sec- onds, took the relay and with it the pony half of the meet. In the special feature event, the girls' championship fancy diving con- test, Doris Fraser won by eight points over her nearest opponent, Helen Ger- lock, in a field of six divers.

Matinee "Idol" - * "Laugh and the world laughs with you," is the motto of the fourth of the series of Uptown Civic matinees, when Will Rogers himself appears on the Aragon stage, Sunday, February 19, at 3p. m. He is coming in regular cowboy full dress, lariat, big sombrero, Spanish boots, and all, clear from the California town where he is mayor, to entertain with his very newest humor. Will Rogers, the pal of the world, of kings, millionaires, laboring men, cow- boys, is the only American humorist who has been requested to give his famous entertainment of rapid-fire comments on today's affairs before the great kings of Europe. His friend, John D. Rockefeller, regards Will Rog- ers as the best health tonic there is. One afternoon laughing at and with him is worth a month of recreation down South. Calvin Coolidge, and numerous able thinkers of the day, have listened with delighted interest to this side-splitting act, and afterwards given Will Rogers the highest of trib- utes. Honor North Shore Artists in Chicago Institute Exhibit : by Critic Chicago artists opened their thirty- second annual exhibition in the east wing of the Art institute on February 9, with an exhibition that ranks higher than any of their previous exhibitions. Out of three thousand pictures sub- mitted to the jury, about three hun- dred were selected. These are care- fully hung so that the spectator is aware of contrasts, and is stimulated | in going from a piece of realism to one of cubism near it, from a land- scape of rich color to one that is cold, from the symbolic to the most brutal modernistic painting. The beauty of color and line is exceedingly pleasant. Rudolph Ingerle, north shore artist, won the $300 William Randolph Hearst prize for his decorative nature scene, "Swappin' Grounds," which has a dignity and richness of color that is truly delightful. Mr. Ingerle is one of our staunchest nature lovers, and he has created a real work of art. Other north shore artists submitted pictures, yet many were of necessity turned down for lack of space. Among those who were accepted are Frank C. Peyraud, Elizabeth Krysher Peyraud, and Percy B. Eckhart. Invite Children to View George Washington Film Children of Chicago and suburbs are invited to a free moving picture en- tertainment, to be given under the provisions of the James Nelson and Anna Louise Raymond Fund, at Field Museum of Natural History, Saturday morning, February 18.
