Manager Romo Bobb and Captain "Zeke" Bacon took their fleety Orange and Black quintet to Woodstock last Sunday afternoon where they met the W. A.,A. C. of Woodstock. /The Black and Reds were very confident of an easy victory over McHenry but were very much surprised to find so fast a team as they encountered. Zeke Bacon and Jess Whiting kept the big boys pretty busy and no one could have stopped Zeke as he dribbled {lown the floor time after time for McHenry points. Dutch Bacon who was being counted on as one of the McHenry scoring aces, was taken sick with a very bad cold and could not take part in the game. When McHenry came on" the floor a few minutes after the Woodstock boys they were considered as well as dead by some for every Woodstock man was close to a ^six-footer" and weighed nearly 160 or 160 pounds, while our little &-foot 3-inch men, weighing only 130*to 145 pounds were to play against them but every one found that size does not count. During the first few minutes of play Bacon dribbled down the floor and was fouled by Eppel and made both of the free throws. Schwabe of Woodstock followed up with a basket shortly after tying the score, then with Sweetland and Weeks both mak ing ringers, giving Woodstock a four point lead over McHenry. At the end of the first half McHenry was at the losing end of -a 20 to 12 score. After a few minutes rest l>oth teams came back ready for more action with Winkel substituting for E Walsh at guard, and the whole team that had been taken out during the second quarter were placed back in for Woodstock. • All of McHenry lacked the push during this part of the game except Zeke Bacon, who still held his own and kept up his usual whirlwind game, keeping Woodstock worried every minute till the whistle blew for the end of the third quarter and McHenry had not gkined a bit and still behind $4 to 20. | Jesse Whiting was forced to retire from the game on account of injuries sustained wh^n Weeks of Woodstock thought he was riding steers at the Rodeo and brought Jesse to the floor beneath him. During the final quarter Leo "Red" Winkel showed his stuff by putting in three free throws and one field goal on a\ pretty long shot from cen ter, and Bonslett, Bacon, Whiting and Freund all played a great defensive game, holding Woodstock with but one basket which was a lucky one by Weeks. t Bacon proved to be the outstanding star for McHenry with eight free throws and five baskets while Schwabe and Weeks were the leading scorers for Woodstock. Next week-end the McHenry Athletic club will stage their first home game at the new McHenry Community High School Gym, December 20 against the Notre Dame Chicago club This team which was the St. Nels High School team of 1924 and 1925 was coached by the famous Paddy Driscoll ah^ won the national Catholic league championship.
