{ August 25, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 15 Keen Rivalry in Competition for Tennis Supremacy Bill Morris, Senn High school tennis thampion, got a chance to compete in the finals of the junior singles divis- ion of the tennis tournament at New Trier High school, when Bob Stew- art, Florida boys' champion who had defeated him in the semi-finals, left for Florida to compete in a tourna- ment there. Stewart's withdrawal also left John Iliff in the running, but Morris eliminated him this week in straight sets of 6-3, 6-2, 6-2. John Sheldon, winner of last year's tournament, who is favored to meet Morris in the finals, advanced a step further this week by defeating R. Mc- Lean, 6-3, 6-0. He will play John Parker in the quarter finals, and if he wins he will meet the winner of the G. Glover-E. Lange match for the right to battle Morris for the cham- pionship. Sheldon, who is also entered in the senior singles division, mowed down his opposition there too. He defeated Crawford, 6-3, 6-3, this week and will play the winner of the McLean-Weld match for the right to compete in the semi-finals. Others who reached the quarter finals in the senior singles tournament were Obermeier, who de- feated Bob Nelson 7-5, 6-1; Dave Kram, who defeated R. Brown 6-0, 6-0; P. Fleming and R. Whitsett. Three pairs of teams reached the semi-finals in the doubles tournament being played at New Trier--Holter- Fleming by defeating Booth-Sheldon 6-1, 3-6, 6-3, McLain-O'Brien by de- feating Kahler-Snyder 6-0, 6-3, and Seddon-Calvert by defeating Whitsett- Iliff 6-2, 1-6, 6-2. Holter-Fleming and MclLain-O'Brien will clash in one of the semi-finals matches, while Seddon and Calvert will meet the winner of the Cram-Lange and Weld-Burke match in the other semi-finals event.

F. Anderson - Swedelius has opened a tutoring school for both boys and girls of high school age at 4545 Broadway, Chicago. Miss Grace Sercomb will be his assistant principal. Dr. Anderson-Swedelius is known by a number of north shore people as he has prepared many north shore young people for their college work. Both he and Miss Sercomb have been con- nected with Miss Harris' school be- fore establishing the North Shore School of Concentration. He took his undergraduate work abroad and ob- tained his degree of Doctor of Philos- ophy at Columbia university. It is planned that the new school will be moved to the suburbs if a sufficiently large number of north shore residents show an interest in the project. It is planned to offer both class-room and private tutoring with special methods of study which Dr. Anderson - Swedelius has found best for the adolescent. The number of tree nurseries under state inspection has increased 16 per cent during the last year.
