From the first whistle to the final gun both teams maintained a grilling pace that called for every ounce of endurance. Spurred on by their loss to Oak Park the night before the Maywood heavies "rushed" the ball from the toss-up and scored four points before the local five awakened. Then Wally Miller and Maurice Nelson came back with baskets that tied the score and, unable to maintain their own pace, the Proviso quintet dropped behind one basket as the quarter ended 8 to 7. In the second quarter Nelson and Fleinge each dropped two baskets while Sheldon, Miller and Schultz scored once each. Proviso Weakens When the second half started the Proviso team seemed to be weakening, caused somewhat perhaps by the hard game of the night before, and with their opponents slowing in their on- slaught, the Grey-Green aggregation had little difficulty in getting a ten point lead and holding it throughout the last quarter. Maurice Nelson scored almost half of the New Trier points, having by the final whistle dropped in seven baskets and two free throws. Steve Plow- man, right guard, held the Proviso score down by stopping the forwards, Wroebke and Rassmussen, and forc- ing the Proviso guards and center to take long shots with little success. _Fleige and Schultz were the prin- cipals for Proviso, the former scoring four baskets and the latter three. Offer Little Resistance In the lightweight game, Saxton and L. Smith each contributed five baskets to lead New Trier to a 32-8 victory. The Maywood feather team offered little resistance and the Grey-Green outfit easily scored 14 points before the visitors made a free throw. The first half ended 16 to 2, Shortly after the opening of the fourth period the second and third teams were run for New Trier and finished the game. Stan Smith, New Trier guard, con- tributed freely to the visitors' down- fall by exceptionally close guarding and fast floor work. : BOX SCORE Heavyweight New Trier 33 Proviso 22 B B.F.P.

Soccer Jack Hagen, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hagen, 1387 Scott avenue, Hub- bard Woods, won his letter this year in soccer at the University of Illinois. Jack was the mainstay of the team, playing at goal. Soccer is a new sport at Illinois and Hagen stepped right in with a lot of experience from his prep career at New Trier High school and played his position at goal during the entire Ohio State and Iowa games. The team lost to Ohio State, 1-0; but came back strong during the Thanksgiving holi- days and sent Iowa away with the tail-end of a 3-0 score. Jack is only a sophomore and will be out next year for his second letter. He is a member of the Delta Sigma Phi fraternity. Kenilworth Votes Gray Paint for Water Tower At the regular monthly meeting of the Kenilworth Village board, held last Monday evening at the Kenilworth as- sembly hall, it was proposed that the new water tower located in the west- ern section of the village, be painted gray in order to improve its appear- ance and to make it less conspicuous. The matter was referred to the water committee with power to act. The first post-holiday informal was given on Saturday evening following the Michigan-Northwestern basketball game and was also given in the gym- nasium. Frank Rettig of the Athletic association was in charge as the proceeds will go to the association. 2° MORTGAGE LOANS on Improved Property at Attractive Rates AL VA15502 (0):000 810) No TE ABLY, (0) 4 Le Ne) Il Oo) 1150 Wilmette Ave. Village T heatre Bldg.
