SPECS OF SPORTS By B. R. Mead
Athletics cost money yet they may be self supporting for taxpayers. Joliet Nish loses a meet to Aurora 71 to 48 despite seven first places, showing reserve material strength. Aurora wins six firsts and many seconds to swing the score. Coach A A Wills leads promising baseballers to Con Cunlia River Forest with Ellis pitching and Signor Stewart batting. Navy Bill Ingram passes on an applicant who boasted a perfect winning signal. Local handball hopefuls join camps led by Wallace and Turk. Alfred Bannet AAU handball champion began at age ten. St Winter’s College Kankakee fields a track team after a decade. University of Detroit will award a 16 inch statuette of Red Grange to the most improved football player.
