Nt wo BW ty A ai BA June 4, 1927 WINNETKA TALK Northwestern Closes Successful Year in Athletic Competition Sport activities at Northwestern drew to a close this week as all teams completed their spring schedules and prepared to pack away equipment un- til next year. The past year has been one of the most successful athletic vears in the history of the university. The Purple crashed through to its first football championship and placed well up in a number of other sports including swimming, track and tennis. Director "Tug" Wilson announced that he was pleased with the results of his second year at Northwestern but hoped to see the Purple colors advanced still higher in the years to come. Grid Team Star Performer "We had a successful year but there is still a lot of room for improvement," he said. "Our football team, of course, was the high spot but a number of our other teams made fine showings also. The track team enjoyed a fine season and will improve next year. The swimming team pushed the leaders at all times and will be even better next vear. "One of the greatest accomplish- ments of the year was the establish- ment of our intramural program on a sound basis. We had more men than ever before out for the inter-class and inter-fraternity teams. This is a big field and we intend to stress this de- partment more than ever in the fu- ture." The year 1926-27 will long be re- membered at the university for it marked the return of Northwestern to the upper division in Big Ten ath- letics. The great football team turned out by Coach Thistlethwaite did much to revive the spirit of Purple fans. Hope for a successful season next fall is high, with Coach Hanley at the helm. The new Purple mentor has won the confidence of his men and associates. Northwestern's fine showing in the Big Ten track meet at Madison last week shows that this sport is also be- 'ginning to climb steadily upward. Pur- ple athletes won three first places and piled up more points than ever before. "Tiny" Lewis tossed the 16 pound shot 47 feet 3 inches for a conference record. This is the first conference record held by a Northwestern ath- lete in many years. Bill Droegemueller leaped 13 feet, 3 inches in the pole vault which is also a conference re- cord but may not stand since it was held indoors because of the bad weather. Robert Yates, formerly of Kenil- worth, spent the Decoration day per- iod in Kenilworth. am i EE ------ I [= h ) fi ! SER ~ Lo Baby Milk Most be Fresh € Pure!
