-- Ea EE November 17, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 25 Streator Eleven Next Foe of Great New Trier Squad Streator, a stranger to the Indian Hill gridiron, will play New Trier there this Saturday. For the benefit of fans who like to know where teams come from, Streator is a town with about 15,000 inhabitants and is just west of Kankakee and a few miles south of Ottawa. According to their coach, who was at the Oak Park game, Streator has a strong team with some husky farmers on it, who should give New Trier a lot of trouble. They had a clean slate until last Saturday, when Spring Valley spoiled the fine record with a 21 to 0 defeat. However, Streator has not been playing as high calibre teams as has the Gray- Green this year, so the New Trierites are confident of copping another victory Saturday. FOOTBALL SEASON WANES Many signs point to the closing of the New Trier football season although the varsity still has two games to play. The Intra-mural and Freshman-Soph- omore teams have turned in their suits, swimming practice has started and Coach Grater has called out the aspirants for this year's basketball teams. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICE "Mortals and Immortals" will be the subject at the services in The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Win- netka Sunday morning, November 18, at 11 o'clock. Sunday school convenes at 9:35 o'clock. The active chapter of Delta Gamma sorority entertained all the alumnae of the Northwestern chapter at dinner last Monday night at the chapter house. Intercepted Pass Loses Game for Soph-Frosh Gang An intercepted pass in the first quar- ter caused New Trier's Frosh-Sophs to lose their final battle of the season, to Evanston's lightweights, 6 to 0. In the second half Hicks came close to repeating the Evanston feat, when he captured a pass and ran to the 10-yard line. New Trier lost the ball on downs though, and didn't get another chance to score. This game was the last one for the Freshman-Sophomores. Although they have had a good team this year they came out an the short end of the scores in all the games except one. They al- ways put up a good fight though and were never defeated by an overwhelming score. Their one victory was a runaway from the Deerfield lightweights, 58 to 0. College Leaders Attend Parental Education Meet Miss Edna Dean Baker, president of the National Kindergarten and Ele- mentary college, and Miss Martha D. Fink, director of parental education, are attending the first annual meeting of the National Council of Parental Education, which is being held in At- lantic City November 14-17. The meeting is regarded as particularly significant at this time in view of the stress which is being laid on parental education throughout the country. Following the meeting Miss Baker plans to meet the local alumnae in New York, and later to visit the nur- ery school, kindergarten and primary lepartment of the Bureau of Education in Washington. Miss Fink will remain in New York to attend the meeting of the Child Study association which is being held there on November 20. Professor to Lecture on Primitive Peoples A recognized authority on races, Melville J. Herskovits, assistant pro- fessor of anthropology at Northwest- ern, who has lived among primitive peoples to gain first hand information, will address the contemporary thought class at the university Wednesday, Nov. 21 on "Races, Old and New." Prof. Herskovits a short time ago returned from Dutch Guinea where he had lived with the Bush Negroes to study their racial habits, and a year ago he published a book on negro types. His lecture, to which a few persons outside of the class will be admitted, will be given at 2 p. m. in Commerce hall and at 7 on McKinlock campus. The evening talk may also be heard over raido.
