In the first the locals came thru with six ringers for total of twelve points, while their opponents caged but one basket and one free throw during this period. In the last half McHenry made five ringers, while Crystal Lake got but one, the contest ending 22 to 5 in favor of the home squad. The line-ups and scores follow: McHenry <22) Crystal Lake (5) Frisby' Frisby Phalin Weber Nya •; ' Milter Free throws: Phalin, 3; Weber, Truax, 1. LOCALS BREAK EVEN First Team Loses While Seconds Win From Crystal Lake The best that the McHenry high school basket ball teams could do at the local gym last Friday evening was to break even, the first team losing to the Crystal Lake players by the close score of 10 to 9, while our light weights won their game in a comparatively easy manner, downing their opponents by the score of 22 to 5> The main attraction of the evening, the contest between" the heavies, proved a thriller. So evenly were the two teams matched and so hard fought was the first half of their game that the end closed with the visitors lead ing by a score of 2 to 1, each team getting its points on free throws. During the second half the boys let up a bit on speed and their bas. ket shooting became more accurate with the result that each team caged four baskets, netting eight points, thus bringing the best game of the season to a close with the visitors in the lead by one point, the final score being 10 to 9.' The locals played hard to win, but it just seemed that luck played against them. However, their work in the last two games played showed marked improvement and if the boys keep on going at the speed that they have reached they may still be able to make some sort of a respectable showing at the Rockford tournament. The line-ups and scores of the heavies follow: McHenry (9) Ciystal Lake (10) N iesen Barbian Whiting Busg BnnfJett Biekfer R. G. Pearson Pearsley Ritt Lucas Lippold Brown Free throws: Niesen, 1; Ritt, Field throws: Niesen, 1; Barbian, Buss, 1; Pearson, 1; Ritt, 1; Lucas, 2 Lightweights Win The McHenry lightweights their game by a good, comfortable margin and if the boys continue to improve in their work as they have the past few weeks McHenry may look forward to a fast team to repre sent our sehool next fall. TUe team is a very well balanced one and the beys are rapidly picking up the finer points of the game, such as team work and passing of the ball In the game last Friday night Frisby caged four baskets, Phalin three, and Frisby, two, while W eber and Nye are credited with one each. For Crystal Lake Meyer and Truax got a basket apiece, while Koch got one free throw. McHenry didn't get asingle free R. G. L. G. C. ^ * R. F. L. F. Sub throws: Koch, F.

Frett, former McHenry residents, but now of Aurora, doing great work as a member of the West Aurora high school basket ball team. In a game played in that city last Friday evening between the Aurora team .and Rockford, Leonard proved the star of the game, altho his team was defeated by the close score 26 to 23. The Aurora Beacon- News, in its write-up of the contests, hands Leonard a neat bouquet for the splendid game he"" played. In part the article read: "Frett, the sturdy West High center, stood out as the big star of the game. He played opposite Englund, the highly touted Rockford center, and played rings around him. He outjumped Englund on every attempt. - Twice the two were faced under the Aurorfc basket and on the jump the Aurora boy batted the ball into the basket. He spilled Englund so often that; the Rockford star was continually crying to the. referee that he was being roughed. And to the credflt of Frett must be said that the complaints of Englund were not justified; the local boy having only two^ personal fouls called against him/and only one of these was after aMash with Englund. The Aurora boy made six basKets, while Englund made three." It will also be remembered that Leonard made a splendid record for himself as a member of the West Aurora high school foot ball team last fall, being picked as a member of the All-Conference team. The former McHenry atilete has improved greatly since leaving McHenry and his many admirers and friends here congratulate him for the showing he has made with the larger school.
