TRACK HOT!8 McHenry took third place in the triangular meet between Dundee, Crystal Lake and McHenry, which was held at Crystal Lake last Saturday. Coach McCracken was very wfeil satisfied with his team, which, though steady barrage to his face and body. Rudy Paterson, the clever smilinp favorite from Evanston, won a draw from Rusty Hoskins of Genoa CitjJ in three rounds and then tobk the fipht with two hard blows--one solar plexus punch followed by one to the jaw that almost sent Hoskins to the showers. This Paterson sets up one of the cleverest defenses of men in his class around this vicinity and proves a hard man to best in a fight. After the intermission, in which George Westin's "specials" play an important part, Earl Vermylion of Aurora showed enough aggressiveness and clever boxing to earn a threeround decision over Red Schneider. Waukegan A. C. This Schneider lad is a clever boxer, but Vermylion kept forceing the fight and won by sheer force. The Aurora Iftd possesses very impressive record and Red shouldn't feW bad about his trimminer In the semi-windup, Joey Pitts of Niles Center was the victor in a fast three-rounds over George Taylor of Waukegan, a colored lad. Taylor was fighting on even terms until he slipped an accidental low blow in the third round. Though the fight continued it was this that cost him the decision. Johnny Bencks of Aurora and Ernie Jokinen of Waukegan A. C.. provided the entertainment for the windup and put on a strange bout at 160 pounds. Jokinen just stood and waited while Bencks furnished the action, but struck few blows. The Lake county lad took the initial round on the ® i strength of one hard blow to the jaw. ® I The next was about even and the last 0, one of the three went to the Aurora 0,man, making the bout even. In the 11 extra round Jokinen opened up and ® I pounded Johnny into submission to ® take the extra round decision. The fans seemed very well pleased with the affairg and should return to witness some of the choice return matches that the management is holding in store for some of the Wednesday nights in the near future.

Judges were Jerry Heil- Waukegan News and Mr. Craft of Grayslake, who happens to be the pater of Howard himself. Mr. Dreece is the A. A.
