A -------- -- 3 September 15, 1928 WINNETKA TALK Purple Gridders Ready to Launch Practice Season Waldo Fisher, star end on the Northwestern football team for the last three years, is the only addition to the Purple grid staff this year. Fisher will confine his activities to the freshman candidates. Coach Dick Hanley, head coach, will have two assistants to help him with the varsity eleven. They are his brother, Pat Hanley, who was his chief aid at Haskell and Jack Ryan, a mem- ber of the Purple staff for several years. Maury Kent, also a member of the Wildcat staff for several years, will have charge of the scout team which each week interprets the plays of the opponents. Herb Steger and Bob Johnson have been placed in charge of the second or B team. The freshman candidates are to be divided into four teams, each team being coached by a freshman coach. These coaches are Waldo Fisher, Tom Stidham, Litz Rusness and Orion Stuteville. These teams play a sched- ule of games among themselves throughout the year. First practice of the year will be held Saturday morning, September 15, at which time all varsity candidates have been asked to report. Coach Hanley expects a squad of about sixty candi- dates to turn out for the team. Among this group will be fourteen lettermen around whom the first string eleven will be formed this year. Be- sides being small in numbers the squad is expected to be much lighter than Purple teams of the past. Hank Sinkler, tackle; Justin Dart, guard and Mickey Erickson, center, are the only members of the squad weighing over 190 pounds. Sinkler is the heaviest, tipping the scales at 198. The regulars expected back are: backs, Walt Holmer, Moline, Ill, capt. ; John Achers, Fort Dodge, Ia. Harry Kent Tulsa Okla., George Levison, Ev- anston, Ill, Bert Fox, Evanston, Ill; linemen Tom Verdell, end, Chicago, Henry Sinkler, tackle, Evanston, John Hazen, tackle, Thermopolis, Wyo., Justin Dart guard, Hinsdale, Ill, Henry Anderson guard, Chicago and Mickey Erickson, center, Moline, Ill. Several promising backs and ends but few linemen are expected from the ranks of last year's freshmen. The more promising of these candidates are: Wade Woodworth, Evanston, Frank Baker, Milwaukee, Larry Oliphant, Evanston and Ted Egbert, Evanston. Backs, Lee Hanley, Evans- ton, and Henry Bruder, Pekin, Ill. Guards, Francis Sullivan, Chenoa, Ill. and Bob Sinks Jonesboro, Ill. Wilmette Boys Attend U. of I. Freshmen Camp Five Wilmette students are among the two hundred Freshmen entering the University of Illinois who attended the third annual Freshman Camp Sat- urday, Sunday and Monday at Camp Seymour near Decatur under the aus- pices of the University Y.

Student leaders, members of the fac- ulty, and coaches were the principal speakers at the camp which has been arranged to help new students bridge the gap between high school life and the new, more complex university life. PLAY FOR PRESIDENT'S TROPHY The semi-final round of the Presi- dent's trophy event will be played at the Wilmette Golf club Saturday, Sep- tember 15. It will be 18 holes, match play, handicap. Sunday morning, Sep- tember 16, there will be a Net-Lo med- al event and in the afternoon a four- ball mixed foursome. * Brilliant Backfield Is Hope of 1928 Maroons Brilliant backfield material will car- ry the hopes of A. A. Stagg and the Maroon football team in the coming campaign this season, A flock of men who can run and pass, and kick better than the average, will offset a line somewhat weaker than last year's. Two weeks from the opening of practice on September 15, the Maroons will start their schedule, playing a double header with the University of South Carolina and Ripon. Another set of two games on October 6, against the University of Wyoming and Lake Forest university, will prepare the Chicago team for the opening of the season against the formidable Iowa team, last met by the Maroons in 1920. Decatur, Illinois, claims the distinc- tion of being the first Illinois home of Abraham Lincoln. I REDALE $ T OO R A GC FE Furniture, Furs, Pianos, Rugs--all cared for safely the Iredale Way.
