August 25, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 11 Tang of Autumn Air Wafts News of Grid Doings Labor day will be here in another week and just a step beyond is the opening of the football season, for which Manager Bill Merrill, of the popular Black & White team of Win- netka, is already making preparations. The play of the Black & White team last season attracted attention not alone on the north shore, but through- out the Chicago area from whence came continuous demands for engage- ments with this formidable collection of grid talent. The squad lost only two games of an extended schedule last season, and the score in one of those setbacks was by the narrow margin of 7 to 6. The line-up for the approaching season has not yet been determined, according to Manager Merrill. "The north shore," he says, "is full of excellent football material, and many prospects already have expressed a desire to enroll with the Black & White entry. Manager Merrill requests that all those who wish to play football at- tend a meeting which will be held at the office of the Black & White ga- rage, 552 Lincoln avenue, Winnetka, Wednesday evening, September 5. Leslie Carlson is captain of the eleven and Ernest Belmont, secretary. Real Estate Boards Meet to Shoot Golf Tournament North Shore Real Estate Board golfers got ambitious last week and stepped into a team battle with the player members of the Evanston Board at the Glencoe Community course. The result? "Well," as one North Shore player remarks, "Why bring that up?" But news is news and having to pro- duce we learned that the score was 17 1-2 to 6-2. The winners for the North Shore Board were Andy Mouat, W. E. Bell and J. D. Austin. There's no necessity for mentioning the losers. The North Shore boys aren't satis- fied and there's going to be a return match in a couple of weeks. Ordinance Provides Stop Signs for Center Street An ordinance designating Center street between Cherry street and Sun- set road, both inclusive as a prefer- ential traffic street, and providing the necessary stop regulations, was intro- duced in the Village council Tuesday evening. This action is being taken following recommendations by the streets, drain- age and forestry committee, of which Trustee H. IL. Raclin is chairman, presented to the council a few weeks ago. Trio Plays at Highland Park Church Last Sunday A trio composed of Orville S. Cay- anah and Earl E. Bates, violinists, and Miss Marjorie Leaming, organist, played at the Highland Park Presby- terian church last Sunday. Mr. Cav- anah's string quartet has been heard in Winnetka at the Skokie school and at the Congregational church, where the Largo from the New World sym- phony was played with brilliant ef- fect. Mr. Cavanah is a teacher of violin at New Trier High school and is well known along the north shore. Miss Ghita Watson, daughter of Mrs. Pettit Watson, has been having a visit with Suzette Morton, daughter of the Sterling Mortons, at their summer home at Harbor Point, Mich. She will return home early next week. ---- Mr. and Mrs. Charles D. Loper and Douglas, 821 Prospect avenue, are at the Royal Muskoka, Rosseau lake, Ontario, Canada.

Among the parties recently given for the bride is a personal shower given last Saturday by Miss Miriam Whitehill, sister of the bride, and Miss Geraldine Watts of 915 Chestnut avenue. The party was given in the Watts' home. Wednesday night, August 22, Mrs. Challinor, mother of the bridegroom, gave a linen shower for the bride. Last night, a dinner for the bridal party was given at the Whitehill's home.
