MILLER RINGWOOD, ILLINOIS Ea2i»s * Y*y ti- DEFEAT WOODSTOCK AGAIN LOCALS PUT COUNTY SBATBRS otrr OP RUNNING -Largest Crowd That Ever Att^^ed Basket Ball Game In McHenry See Contest What proved the largest crowd that ever assembled to watch a like event saw the sturdy Woodstock high school five eliminated from the McHenry county basket ball championship race by the fast, little McHenry team at the local gymnasium last Friday even­ ing, the contest proving the closest and hardest fought ever seen on a Iftcal floor. The crowd began to arrive early and long before the time for the big game had arrived every available seat had been taken, while standing room was at a premium. The fans had come with the expectation of witnessing a close and exciting game and if any­ one went away disappointed, outside of the Woodstock team and its follow­ ers, it was not the. fault of the players on the two teams. Woodstock came over confident of victory. They knew that to lose would put them out of the running for the county championship. Mc­ Henry, with one victory over the Woodstockites to their credit, were equally as confident. Woodstock was primed for a grueling battle and so was McHenry. Thus with both teams trained right up to the minute and with confidence of victory in their breasts, the two rivals started the evening's grind. Woodstock was the first to score, C. Sherburne making a ringer after only few seconds of play. This wfas a signal for McHenry to go to work and this they did, but not alone, as the visitors were working ipjit as hard as were our boys, altho not quite as ef­ fectively during the first half, which ended 14 to 7, with our boys holding on to the big end of the score. During the second half, however, Woodstock played the better ball, roll­ ing up 13 points'to the locals' 8. Six of the thirteen points made by the vis­ itors were registered by Bolger, who entered the game after C. Sherburne had been ruled out on account of fouls. Bolger made his three baskets with lightning rapidity and with Miller also out of the game on account of fouls it surely did look bad for Mc­ Henry during the last few minutes of play. However, the fans did not give up hope and everyone remained to see our boys returned the winners. One thing was proven beyond a shadow of doubt last Friday evening and that is McHenry's inability to do her best work on a small floor. Those who followed the McHenry team dur­ ing the season proclaim that the home lads have done their best work on floors where the playing space was larger than that of the McHenry gym­ nasium. McHenry's strength lies in the players' ability to use team work and a large playing field is absolutely essential for the bes$ of team work. Strange as it may seem, our own gym­ nasium, in this respect, has been a handicap to our boys, altho they have been able to hold their own thus far this season. The defeat handed the county seat- ers was a bitter pill for the Wood­ stockites to swallow. It has thus been shown conclusively that McHenry the better team of the two and should the two teams meet again* be it here in McHenry or on a foreign floor, it's a safe bet that our boys can do it again. By putting a crimp into the Wood­ stock five the real contenders for the championship of the county are Hunt­ ley and McHenry, altho McHenry has not met either Hebron Or Crystal Lake this season. In view of the fact that Woodstock has defeated both Hebron and Crystal Lake with apparent ease these two teams cannot be figured as very dangerous, altho strange things have occurred in athletics heretofore. The team that McHenry has to fear is Huntley and this is the team that we must beat to gain the champion­ ship honors of the county. "Can this be done?" is a question that has been asked by the fans of McHenry since last Friday night's game. It is a question that can be answered in one way only, that being to arrange a series of games between the4 two teams and let the players decide it. On paper the teams look very even­ ly matched and no one is willing to pick the winner. The McHenry five are anxious to meet the HUntley boys and feel confident of giving them the toughest battle that they have been in this season. While none of the players are making any noise about the result of such a series, they are willing to go in and play their "hard­ est. They realize that Huntley has a powerful basket ball machine and to win over them they must put up the classiest article of ball. Here's hop­ ing that the series may be arranged shortly. This (Thursday) evening the boys journey over to Hebron, where they will be pitted against the best high school team that that village has had in years. The Hebron boys gave Woodstock two hard tussles and they feel that they can give McHenry something to think about. The Mc­ Henry boys are not allowing that over-confidenU feeling to get the best of them and will journey over .to Heb­ ron with the expectation of playing the very best ball that there iB in them. They realize that they cannot afford to suffer a defeat at this time.
