Richter of Twin Lakes has also been signed and, according to reports, an effort is being made to secure the services of "Bevo" Adams of Elgin, who finished the season with Hebron last year. The balance of the team will be made up of Hebron players. Hebron, thru its basket ball team of last year, has won the distinction of being the best basket ball town in McHenry county and with another fast team to represent the municipality this year the fans of the town and surrounding country are sure to see some fast games this winter. The season, according to "last week's Tribune, will not be opened until after the first of the year. Too bad McHenry hasn't -seme sort of a gym. McHenry has the material for a fast team and we believe that same would be given excellent support by the fans here.
