--_--_. EE III. January 29, 1927 WINNETKA TALK STARTLING, IF TRUE New Trier-Deerfield Basketball "Riot" Episode Brings Statement Contra- dicting "Inspired" Story Inquiry made this week by Principal Frederick E. Clerk of New Trier Higt school regarding what was described by the Chicago Tribune as a "riot" in connection with a game of basketball Tuesday night of this week between those traditional rivals, New Trier and Deerfield, this week brought the fol- lowing statement from Coach "Duke" Childs of New Trier: "In regard to your inquiry concemn- ing the call for extra police for the Deerfield game, I am making the fol- lowing report. In accordance with our regular policy of taking precautionary measures in advance when we have unexpectedly large crowds at our games, especially when the game is critical, I called for two extra police- men to make sure that there would be no unpleasantness between the rival student bodies on the way home, and that we would be sure to have adequate police protection in the event of fire or panic. No riot call was sent in. Mr. Jackson, my assistant, simply called the Winnnetka Police department and said that we were not anticipating any trouble but were having a tough game and it might be wise to have a couple more policemen to see that nothing started after the game, and to handle a rather difficult traffic problem caused by the bad street conditions and a great many cars. There was no diffi- culty about the game. The officials had the game under control at all time and decisions were fair." The Tribune "riot" story attributed the alleged difficulty to disappointment on the part of the New Trier enthusi- asts over the defeat of their team by Deerfield; whereas, as a matter of fact, New Trier came off winner, as was duly noted in another section of the same edition. The contradictory follow : Tribune stories Here They Lose This story appeared on Page 1 Wed- nesday morning, January 26, under the startling headline "Police Quell Riot at High School Game." "Winnetka police were called last night to quell a riot at the New Trier High school that resulted irom the de- feat of the New Trier basketball team by the Deerfield Township High school team. It was the eighth victory for the Deerfield five, and New Trier had hoped to break the winning streak. "After the game the New Trier play- ers charged that the referee had been unfair in his decisions. Hot words led to blows, and the one policeman as- signed to duty at the game turned in a riot call. Six policemen responded, and quiet was soon restored." This report of the game appeared in the Sports section of the same edition of the Tribune under the headline, "New Trier Victor." And Here They Win, "New Trier handed Deerfield a double defeat at New Trier, taking the heavyweght game 22 to 15 -and the lightweight battle 26 to 20. Heavy- weight lineup: NEW TRIER (22). B F P W.
