New Trier Sport Notes = ALUMNI TO BE OPPONENTS FOR NEW TRIER SATURDAY | New Trier will receive its first grilling Saturday afternoon when they play the Alumni at 3 o'clock at the school field. Coach Schneider is confident of giving the graduates a stiff battle and intends to beat them if such a thing is possible. His boys have been working hard all week to get into a presentable shape and seem to be able to hold their own against the elder players. They have the real New Trier spirit and all they ask is a big crowd to came out and root in the good old way. : ' The Alumni seem to be more than sure of romping away easily with the game. It is expected that Jimmy Patterson, who was formerly a star player with New Trier and who is playing fall-back for the freshman team at Northwestern, will be in the line-up. Swimming Practice Coach Jackson is well pleased with the host of material that appeared for swimming practice this week. A good number of last year's squad are back and he expects them to be the nucleus of the team. Tennis Tournament Contrary to a story on this column last week the tennis tournament failed to open Monday owing to sev- eral delays. It opens today with - some of the stars competing in fast tilts. Football Schedule The schedule for New Trier in the football line is as follows: October 4, Austin at New Trier (practice); October 11, Waukegan at New Trier (practice); October 18, Deerfield at New Trier (first league game). Be- sides the Deerfield game the follow- ing league games are scheduled: October 25, Oak Park at Oak Park; November 1, La Grange -at New Trier; November 8, Proviso at Proviso; November 15, Evanston at New Trier. As New Trier has the most prom- ising team seen for several years the students feel confident of a ma- jority of victories if not a complete Hslam." . Fast Soccer Team To Represent New Trier The soccer team is a good one ac- cording to present indications. The boys, although some of them are in- experienced, were practicing patient- ly this week for the first game with Lake View today. Although it will only be a practice game they are go- ing to play their best in order to be ready for the Saturday game with Carl Schurz, another preliminary. With 'Patterson coaching, and the New Trier spirit imbued in them they feel certain of showing up a bold front during the entire season. It is the fastest team that has rep- resented the school in some years.

Glass Tells People To Save "There are just as compelling, if not more pressing, reasons than dur- ing the war for urging our people to conserve and augment the capital re- sources of the country by prudent spending, systematic saving and wise investment," said Secretary Glass. ; ORGANIZATIONS TO CO-OPERATE TO AID STRICKEN PEOPLE In accordance with an agreement made between the National Tubercu- losis association and the American Jewish relief committee, the two or- ganizations will co-operate with each other this fall and winter in cam- paigns for funds to aid stricken peo- | ple. The drive of the American Jewish relief committee, which is for $25.- 000,000, will be held in the fall. The National Tuberculosis association campaign, which is for the sale of Red Cross Christmas seals, will be held in December just before Christ- mas. The Jewish relief committee aims primarily to help Jewish people in the zones devastated by the Europe- an war, but its purpose has been ex- tended to give aid to all people in the sphere of its operation. The Na- tional Tuberculosis association and the 1,000 state and local organiza- tions affiliated with it aids all people stricken by the great plague. Through this co-operation, the Red Cross Christmas seal, which for ten years has stood for the battle against tubérculosis and the "educational campaigns against the disease, will carry its influence across the seas, because the American Jewish relief committee. will be called upon to help stamp out . tuberculosis in roiand, Serbia, France and other maimed countries. The success of the Red Cross | Christmas seal sale will mean great- er activity than ever before in the fight to save the army of tuberculosis men, women and children in the United States. Over one hundred and | fifty thousand deaths in the United States each year are due to tubercu- losis. The white plague claims most of its victims between the ages of 16 and 45. Those are the years in which the average person is a paying fac- tor in the economic life of the nation. Tuberculosis kills producers. Flea in Amber The history of the flea would seem to go back many centuries, but the only fossil remains of .a flea that have so far been found is a single insect in a bit of Baltic amber, The flea is admirably preserved by its semi-transparent surroundings, and is in the collection of Professor Clebs.
