WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MARCH 21, 1925 PREP ATHLETES IN STATE MEET Illinois Stadium to Be Scene of Event The state interscholastic track and "field meet, for 30 years conducted by the University of Illinois, will adhere to tradition this year and remain a meet for Illinois high school athletes and none others. This announcement is made by the university which will stage the prep classic on May 15 and 16, this time in the big memorial stadium instead of his- (toric Illinois field. That the state university does not seek to import star athletes from all over the United States is vastly important to the development of track men in state high schools. It encourages more schools to train teams for the state meet at the uni- versity. Another helpful plan has been the division of the meet into two classes, one for schools of 400 pupils or more and the other for schools with less than 400. This gives the smaller instiution a show for its white alley. Holding the big meet in the stadium is expected to stimulate competition and attendance. The Illini are now install- ing a new track in the stadium, which is expected to be just as fast if not faster than the old course on Illinois field. An innovation will be the running off of the Michigan-Illinois dual track meet at the same time as the high school meet. This will increase the attendance on account of the traditional rivalry between these universities. The base- ball games with Ohio and Notre Dame should be full of interest. As 'usual, the interscholastic festivities will close with the famous circus at night. This also is to be staged in the stadium and for the first time, there will be tick- ets for everybody. RED CROSS IN YEARLY REPORT Show Operations of Many Departments Marquis Eaton ended nine years of volunteer war service, recently at the _annnal meeting of the Red Cross, La .Salle hotel, when he resigned as chair- man of the Chicago chapter. He has served in that capacity since the organ- ization of the chapter, but his connection 'with the Red Cross dates back to the time of the Eastland disaster. James B. Forgan, Jr., assistant vice president of the First National Bank, Chicago, was elected to succeed Mr. Eaton. Reports showed that in 1924 the war service department cared for 10,565 cases, 500 more than during thé two previous years. The disaster relief department has been reorganized and is in readiness to meet any disaster, large or small, day or night. Increase Braille Work The Braille department has an in- creased number of volunteers transcrib- ing in order that the blind may have current literature. Knitting ,sewing and entertaining hos- pitalized ex-service men are a few of the types of service rendered by 5,590 volunteer workers. The course in "Care of the Sick" was given to 1,568 students, making 20,100 women and girls who have had this course under Chicago chapter instructors. Students enrolled in first aid and life saving classes numbered 5,819. The Junior Red Cross enrolled 333,389 mem- bers. The success of the program is due to the cooperation of the press and the pub- lic, the suburban volunteers deserving special praise. Ted Morse's Gang Ready for Next Legion Dance March 28 in the evening--that's one week from tonight--will witness the third of the Winnetka American Legion series of winter dances arranged under SIX LAKE SHORE AUTO SALES Sales Room and Service Station 1010-16 Chicago Ave., Evanston, Ill. the direction of Tom Brown and his en- tertainment committee.
