2 November 26, 1927 TALK 43 WINNETKA EI Si Glencoe Woman Saw North Western Road Enter North Shore By E. T. Selby All the discussion now extant as to whether the Chicago & North Western railroad tracks through Gencoe shall be elevated or depressed is not proving more interesting to anyone in the vil- lage perhaps than Mrs. Charles M. Dennis, of 823 Greenleaf avenue, for she can recall when the railroad com- pany had but a single track through this section, and it had not been built so many years previously. Mrs. Dennis has resided in and about Glencoe for sixty-six years, and her grandfather, the late Robert Daggitt, who settled there in 1839 and who, at one time owned a thousand acres in this section just across the county line, sold the North Western railroad com- pany the right-of-way for their track. He even had to move his log house to permit the extension of the road along the route the company desired and Mr. Daggitt, later on, entered into a con- tract with the company to build the right-of-way fences for several miles, hereabouts. The North Western road was built through the north shore in 1854 and 1855. Mrs. Dennis says she came here as a child, to live- with her grandpar- ents, only six years later, and this has since been her home. So, as she says, "I have seen the North Western grow from a spur to its present splendidly developed two-track system, over which eighty passenger trains pass through the village every day. New Trier Hockey Teams Tangle in Thrilling Games Monday, November 21, all first hockey teams of New Trier High school played. The sophomores lost to the juniors 5-0, while the seniors de- feated the freshmen 2-1. The freshman-senior game was close and exciting. The first half ended 1-0 for the seniors, the goal being made by Alice Walton, but the second half was much more exciting, Because it grows dark so early the second halves were shortened to half their standard length of twenty minutes. The seniors played to a good start when Alice Wal- ton carried the ball down the field, and passed to Jean Marx for the second goal. Then the freshmen, after hard playing, carried the ball to the strik- ing circle, where "Sande" Sandburg made a goal. The second game, between the juniors and the sophomores, was not nearly as interesting. During the first half Grace Cook scored for the juniors, while in the remaining ten minutes of the second half the juniors completed the slaughter by making four more goals, several of which were made by "Libby" Townsend.
