Want New Field to Bear Name of Frederick Clerk it was, interesting to note the re- plies to- the. Inquiring. Reporter i the issue last week of.. he NES FtASnEs. As. we recali thé question referred to the problem, of naming- the new athi.etic field. ýThe names submitted were ail worthy of, note, ,naking it difficuit to reach any'con-.

The next naine that was suggested for, the new athlétic field, was that of Mr. Clerkc. We feel that this, naine is the obvious one to be given the ne* field. Mr. Clerk guided us .through our iost trying years at New Trier, and has left some very 'advanced ideas amnong the various constitutions pertaining to the vari- ous activities. New Trier becaxue better known as a distinctly modern institution and one promoting ail the very best in éducation. It is with deep'regret that the senior class wilI *graduate witiiout hjs présence.

Both teamis played brilliantly in contrast to the Proviso games; thé offense was fast and without an ex- cess of bad passes and furnbles, while, the home boys found no difficuilty in finding the hoop. After the visiting lights lîad rn up an early lead, Borino hit the bas-, ket three times to put New Trier on the short end of -a 7-6 score as the first period ended..
