The M. A. A. C. took on the fast Hinckley five and after playing two five-minute overtime periods found themselves on the short end ©f a 41 to 43 score. Although the invaders took aw early lead in the first quarter it wa« very evident that a hot battle was to follow. At one time during the first quarter the visiting team had a nine point lead, but our boys settled down and began to find the basket as a team of their caliber should. When the half ended, Hinckley had a total of 19 points to McHenry's 18. It had been a real game up to this time and much was to follow: Our team had outplayed the visitel* throughout the second quarter and the fans felt sure that we would forge ahead and control a comfortable lead in the last half. It just wasn't supposed to turn out that way. TheTe were two fast, evenly matched teams on the floor and they thrilled the five hundred spectators with a nip and tuck battle ending the regular playing time with the score tied at 39 points. Our defense had tightened to a point where Hinckley gave up their attempt to score from under the basket and were shooting with great success from past the center line. Overtime Periods A five-minute overtime period was played only to find the score in another deadlock. It was anybody's game and the crowd went wild. Another five-minute overtime period was played, with both teams frantically risking long shots that might settle the argument. The score see-sawed until the final shot of the gun and Hinckley had us nosed out by one basket. It was a hard game to loee but our boys had fought a real battle and the crowd was well satisfied. It was a game that will be talked Of for some time to come. Fans gathered from far and near to see this game and they got their money's worth. It was one of those thrillers that you read about. Shorts writers have been terming the two teams as the Class of Northern Illinois and we are very much inclined to agree with their opinions after witnessing such a classy performance. In the previous games our boys have not been forced to extend themselves and have found the opposition comparatively easy. It was a different story this time and the fans are well assured that the home team can stand up under heavy fire. They are a fast, clean group of athletes and we are doubly proud of them because they belong to our own community. Individual Plays Just a few words about the individual plays performed. Capt. Conway and Fay settled down to an air tight defense after the first quarter and fought a hard game to withstand % furious offensive attack from the visitors. Freund, who was guarded very closely under the basket, came through with five field goals and two free throws, which isn't a bad day's work. Gus was right there on the defense as well. Our fast stepping forwards showed Hinckley that they can handle a basketball and were always in there mixing 'em up. Hinckley recognized "Zeke" Bacon's ability to dribble a ball within close range of the basket and closed in on him hard. In spite of this close guarding, "fceke" caged six field goals from all points of the floor. Overton put up one of -the best games of his career. Be was all over the floor, fighting it up, and dropping in some pretty shots when points counted. Sib Whiting, who has been out of the lineup since the early part of the season, was suited up and proved to be a handy man to have around. Whiting went into the battle at a critical point, after Fay had gone out on fouls, and showed much of his old time ability. Sib came through with a pretty long shot to tie the score soon after he was inserted into the game. The team was well balanced and it is mighty hard to pick cut any stars. Each performed his duty in- a remarkable fashion. The boys have proven that basketball is a real game when it is played right and have put forth their best efforts to satisfy the crowd. From the size of the crowd last Sunday, it appears that McHenry is with the team to a mar, and it is very inspiring to those in the game. Let's continue to support the boys and urge them on through the many real battles that have been scheduled for them. MicHenry's Ponies outclassed the Wauconda lightweights to a tune of 41 to 24 in the curtain raiser. The Ponies showed more class than they have shown in any game this season and it looks like some real stars may be developed amongst them to carry on the good work that has been started and uphold the name McHenry has made for itself in the basketball world. , - The following show the lineups and box scores: Hinckley (45)n-- B Urdangen, f Fabian, t King, c ........
