June 23, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 43 YOUNG AGAINST OLD Youth Gets Razzed and Doesn't Like It; Beats Old Timers in Race : This is a story, the moral of which is "Don't razz the youngsters." In the case which prompts the story there was the razzing and the result, as usual, was--well, go and read the story. A few weeks ago in Wilmette, a former New Trier High school athlete playfully chided one of the athletes of the present New Trier regime, stress- ing the point that the athletes of a few years ago were superior to those of the present. He was getting along nobly with the razzing until the younger athlete got warmed up and came back with a_threat, which in this case meant a challenge "to get out there on the cinders" and make your argument good or "take it on the chin." So much of the story we learn from a reliable source; the rest is "actual news" for the razzing developed a relay race between the "old timers" and the "youngsters" which was held on the Village Green last Wednesday evening. The race arranged was for three men teams, and the distance was 600 yards. In order to complete the teams it was necessary for each to pick up an additional runner, which wasn't hard to do on the Village Green. - It was just as easy to find a starter, for "Hap" Gathercoal was quickly on the job and the teams lined up as follows: "Oldtimers"--FEppy Hoffman, Schildgen, Nutch Hoffman. "Youngsters"--Norm Smith, Jimmy Hoffman, Milt Guy. The starters were Eppy Hoffman and Norm Smith and to these two was delegated the job of running the first 200 yards. Gathercoal sent them off and Smith who is a former New Trier athlete but now of St. John's Military academy of Delafield, which school he recently represented to finish second in the mile run at the University of Chicago Interscholastic meet, turned loose a burst of speed that gave him a lead of Hod Manual Training School Has Flag Day Exercises The 32nd annual military drill and Flag Day exercises of Glenwood Man- ual Training school, Chicago's largest charity and educational enterprise car- ing for Illinois boys from needy, brok- en homes, took place Saturday after- noon, June 16, at the school at Glen- wood, Ill, twenty-five miles south of Chicago. The exhibition drill by cadet com- panies was reviewed by Col. Earl S. Pearsall, and Capt. James Rood, offic- ers of the R. O. T. C, and the prizes for first, second, third and fourth places were awarded by N. C. Mather, president of the school. A feature of the military program was a review of the thirty-two prize flags which have been awarded on thirty-two consecutive Flag Day exer- cises. Nothing but a staff remains of the oldest flags, the colors having been worn to shreds. During the past years a number of boys from this county have been cared for by Glenwood Manual Training school. Homer Johnson and his sons, Homer and Horton, of Kenilworth, have been fishing in the north woods. Mrs. Johnson and the other children have gone to their summer home in Wis- consin. Mr. Johnson and the two boys will join them later. --_0-- Miss Marjorie Stewart, instructor in chemistry at New Trier High school, will visit her home in Pittsburgh for the summer. four yards when Jimmy Hoffman picked him up. Jimmy held this mar- gin over Schildgen at the end of the second relay and then Milt Guy start- ed stepping as they step in present ath- letics at New Trier. He finished the race twenty yards in front of Nutch Hoffman. Whether there will be any more razzing now depends on how the younger athletes feel about it. That ends the story except that the old bromide might be brought in that "Youth will be served." 50 minutes drive from the loop your own price. OF SALE.
