Woodstock was the first name picked out of the hat and Huntley the second which gives Huntley as opposition for the Blue and White in the opening game of the tournament on Thursday afternoon at 2:30 p. m. "on Feb. 9. Marengo and McHenry will meet in the second* game on Thursday afternoon and the winners of these two games will play on Friday evening at 7:30 p. m. In the lower bracket Harvard will take on Richmond at 7:30 on Thursday night and Crystal Lake will tackle Hebron at 8:30 on the same night at 8:30. The winners of these two gamee will play at 8:30 on Friday night. The winners of the two games on Friday night will play at 8:30 on Saturday night for the county championship while the losers of the two games on Friday night will play the consolation game on Saturday night at 7:30. Should Woodstock survive the Huntley game it would mean that they will play the winner of the Marengo-Mc- Ilenry game which will probably be McHenry. If the locals are to play McHenry to fight their way to the finals they will find stiff opposition in the Stringer crowd as McHenry has improved considerable since early season. • _ Strange Floor The play will be on % strange floor as the armory gym will not be available for practice sessions for any oi the teams prior to the tournament due to a ruling made at the meeting last night. The armory floor is different from other floors in the county and the teams will be lost for-a few minutes v.ntil they get use to the floor.
