30 WINNETKA TALK November 17, 1928 Illini Meet Buckeyes in Grid Finale November 24 great Ohio State-Illinois gridiron battle is predicted November 24 when the Buckeyes invade the Illini stadium to close the season. Ever since 1917, with the exception of 1918, the Illini and Buckeyes have met in the last game of the season and often it has decided the championship. The Illini probably are the under-dogs in this year's combat but they can take cheer from the memory of the 1921 contest at Columbus when they upset Another the Buckeyes and deprived them of the championship. That year Illinois previously had lost all of its conference games, Ernest Marcouiller, 16, of Chicago, Illinois, is winner of the senior champ- ionship in the model airplane contest held at Atlantic City under the aus- pices of the Playground Association of America. --O-- Mrs. M.
