BARRINGTON WINS FROM LOCAL TEAM BOWLING LEAGUES Fin*l Seere is 19 to 7, Although Mc- ~ He»ry at One Time Was Leading by One Point r The heavyweights of the McHenry Community high school football team entertained the Barrington team at the home grounds Saturday afternoon and met defeat by a score of 19 to 7. McHenry opened the game by kicking off and Barrington was stopped on the 30-yard line. With a series of line plays and passes Barrington scored its first touchdown, the point was fumbled and the score stood 6 to 0. Barrington kicked off and the local team was stopped on the 40-yard line. McHenry was here forced to punt and with an exchange of punts Barrington attempted to pass on their own 35- yard line. Schroeder intercepted the pass and scored the touchdown foi McHenry. The place kick was also made by McHenry and the score was 7 to 6 in favor of McHenry. 1 McHenry kicked off and Barrington proceeded to punt on the third down, with MicHenry receiving the ball on the 40-yard line. Here a M. H. S. pass was intercepted but Barrington was forced to punt and the half ended. In the second half McHenry kicked off and with an exchange of punts the local players got close enough to goal to try a place kick. The kick was blocked, however, the ball went in the opposite direction with »~Barrington man getting it for a large gain. With a few line plays and an end run Barrington put the ball over the goal line for the second touchdown, while a line play yielded an extra point, making the score 13 to 7 in favor of Barrington. Barrington kicked off and Barbian received and returned the ball to the 50-yard line. At this point Orville Granger was taken from the game injured and Thurwell went from the backfield to his old position on the end and Frett went into the backfield. Frett was injured in the Belvidere game and has not fully recovered. With an exchange of punts Barrington started a line drive and went deep into McHenry's territory and with an end run Barrington scores as their place kick is missed. Barrington kicked off for the last time and it was McHenry's ball on the 50-yard line and a pass for thirty yards was completed. In the opening game of the day the second team defeated the seventh and eighth grade team 24 to 0 in a very interesting battle. John Thorsell, fhe quarterback, hit the line for tha first touchdown and Steilen and Yhomas divided the scoring in the backfield. Next Saturday the high school team is scheduled to play the McHenry Wolves which consists of former McHenry stars. This is predicted to be the best game of the season. Such stars as Earl Conway, Newman, Patzke, Hitchens, Thomas, R. Conway, Ted Miller, Zuelsdorf, Vogt, Krause, Carr and E. Smith will be on the lineup but with very little practice. It is sure to be a good game. Come out and see the battle Saturday at 2:30. -Although there is no. official McHenry county conference a great deal of interest is centered around the different teams in the county. Crystal Lake or Harvard would probably emerge the victor if a definite winner were established. Should there be a tie, these two teams seem to be the probable elevens to do so. Crystal Lake has won two games from county teams while Harvard has won but one. The Lakers took MicHenry into camp by a tabulation of 20 to 6. Harvard has played only one game with a McHenry county eleven but was a decided victory, Woodstock succumbed, 25 to 0. Marengo has won and lost a battle. The Price men turned back McHenry but fell prey to the Lakers, the latter winning 20 to. 6. Woodstock has also broken even. They won over McHenry but went under the heel of Harvard quite badly. Last Saturday Marengo met Harvard on the latter's gridiron and Crystal Lake journeyed to Woodstock. MRS.
