M'HEN&Y SPILLED BY WOODSTOCK BOWLERS "RedT Winkel High With 222 GUM, 5S8 Series--Woodstock Here Next Week The Palace Alley team journeyed to Woodstock's new Recreation Center last Friday evening and engaged in their first match game of the season. The result wasn't entirely satisfactory as the county-seat pinsters managed to collect 37 pins more than the locals in the three games. However, this didn't take any of the old fight out of the local prides and they are going right back after the honors when Woodstock invades our own drives next week. McHenry made a rather impressive start when they took Woodstock's measure by seven pins in the first game, but the fight seemed to be pretty well taken out of them when they ran into a flock of railroads in the next session and lost by 105 pins. Exactly 15 railroads faced the losers in that game and that is enough to take the heart out of most anyone. Had it not been for this misfortune the tide would have gone the other way by a large margin. Just to show their old fighting spirit the boys came back and ran up a 902 count in the last game for high single game of the evening. Winkel led the assault with a 222 count, the only "200" game that was registered. This large ending gave him high series for the night with 638, Capt. Rich being second with 515. The alleys that have been installed over Wien's store are A-l and should prove very popular before the winter is over. Manager Harry Hobbs played the part of the perfect host and around with a weak ankle that cannot had the boys feeling right at home (be depended upon, O'Shea has one of DELAVAN RED JACKETS PLAY HERE SATURDAY Fart Stepping Players From School Foj Deaf Tackle McCraeken's Eleven Our hard-fighting football eleven from the local high school will have plenty to do next Saturday when they run up against the fast-stepping Delavan Red Jackets, representing the Delavan School for the Deaf. Coach McCracken has been working his men overtime in a final effort to get them in real shape for this, the big game of the local's schedule for this season. Not much can be found out about this team from southern Wisconsin except that they have some speed demons on their squad that managed to outrun the high school team of the county-seat, and any eleven that can boast of such a feat cannot be figured as "fish." Mac has been trying out several different combinations in his backfield, striving to find one that will work smoothly in case some of his semiinvalid backs get a bad bump and are forced to leave the game. Wegener, 204-pound linesman, was tried out at ful!back and ran through a reinforced second string line almost at will. He seems to be the best bet *f either O'Shea or Fatske are forced to retire. It certainly seems that his enormous bulk would suffice to wear down the light line the Delavan outfit is reported to possess. In an interview with McCracken, our local coach stated that the outcome of this tilt depends greatly upon the ability of his hospital list to get in shape. At present Patzke is hobbling the they arrived. Scores Woodstock Marty Mullen and Walter Ward, of Cleveland, broke the world's doubles record when they compiled 1,495 pins in three games. Ward spilled 247, 255, and 289 for a total of 791, while Mullen was knocking down 704, with games of 221, 226, and 257. Just anlother foouple in "Stub" GrHTin's class. Hebron high school has started basket ball practice in preparation for their first tilt of the 1929-30 season which is scheduled to take place at Hebron, Nov. 22, with Richmond providing the opposition. These schools that have no football squads to care for always get the jump on the others when the cage season swings around. E ,, &ake Zurich is still plugging away at the bowling game, and have twelve five-man teams keeping the alleys busy most every night of the week This alley spot /is nothing new to Zurich residents las the pins have been booming there for a good many years.

Mr. Ackerson has quite a crowd every weekend and they enjoy a pleasant day golfing at the country club. Mr. and Mrs. Sheehan gave a Hallowe'en party on Saturday night at their home on Fox River. A wonderful time was had by all. About forty people were present. Dancing proved the entertainment of the evening and a wonderful supper was served. The majority of the Mineral Springs folks were there, also some friends from Chicago. these trick knees that simply will not function and will probably keep him out of the game if he gets a bad bump. Whiting has pulled some ligaments in his hip and will see no action at all. McDonald also has some bruises that are not to be taken too lightly. Even with all these men on the damaged list, Mac is still hopeful of victory as he is confident that his men have the stuff in them to pull the game the right way once thejr get to clicking right. Don't fail to see this game, as you are sure to marvel at the manner in which the boys from Delavan physically handicapped though they may be, carry on the old fight and keep right in the game all the way. It certainly gives one a great thrill to witness their system of calling signals. The lightweights will take on a team their own weight and strive to y show their "public" just how much they have improved since they hit their first scrimmage early this season. The first fracas begins at 1:80 with the second game following immediately. Roller skating seera* to be rapidly ^-growing into a popular sport around the county these days.

Young Alby Booth, star of this year's Yale team, ran wild in the last half of the Yale-Army game Saturday and scored 21 points to overcome the Army's early lead of 14-0. Looks like honorable mention when the All-<Americans. are being picked. Lester "Stub" Griffing ought to be sporting a new hat in the near future following his great showing when he sent the pins spinning on the Woodstock recreation alleys for 220, 256, and 237 counts. This gives him high series of 715, and also high single game of the alleys so far. His high series puts him on top for the new $10 bonnet that Conway is donating for the best performance.

ALBIN ANDERSON ENJOYING SENIOR YEAR AT HARVARD U A letter from Albin Anderson, now in his Senior year at Harvard, written to ye scribe, is reproduced in part: "Dear Zeke; "I was happy to hear that the White Sox beat you by a score of 13 to 0, for had it been 9 to 0, I would have suspected that you boys had forfeited the game. I trust it was not a technical defeat but a moral victory.

ATTENTION, PARENTS In co-operation with the local doctors it has been arranged to have Dr. Ethel Herrington, Pediatrician. Division of Child Hygiene of the Illinois Department of Public Health, give the Schick test to all those children who received toxin antitoxin last December in the schools of our city. There are about 200 children to be tested. This will include pre-school groups as well. Any child between the ages of six months and eight years or older, who has never had dipththeria, should be immunized against this disease. Older children may receive the Schick test before the toxin-antitoxin is given as they may have developed a natural immunity, which would show in the test, and therefore they may not need to receive toxin-antitoxin. This applies especially to high school students. So, parents, if you wish to know whether or not your child is free from danger of diphtheria, have him or her take the Schick test, and see for yourself. The date of Dr. Harrington's arrival will be announced later. In the meantime, Mrs. Rulien, school nurse, will be glad to answer any question concerning the same. She may be reached by phone 201-J at the Community high school. She suggests, also that you talk the matter over with your family physician who will be glad to advisq. . •-V -0 • K Aftrmhar'i Comportfltea The Rock of Gibraltar ts not composed of chalk, but Is chiefly a very compact limestone, generally stratified.

(This was written before the defeat by Dartmouth 37-7). This is strictly confidential, of course. "In all seriousness, Zeke, the Harvard- Army game was more replete with thrills than any game I have ever seen and I saw Notre Dame beat N. U. 6-0 in the last few minutes of play on Niemec's lefthanded pass in the fall of 1926. I was talking to a Harvard graduate student, a former tegular on the University of Pennsylvania team, and he said that he has never played in, or saw, a harder fought battle than this 20-20 tie between Harvard and the Army. I was absolutely all in and I guess about 56,999 others were the same. When the game was over the reporter covering the game for the New York Herald- Tribune said that if thrills were worth a dime apiece this was a million dollar thriller. "I noticed that Rockne's poor old team 'feebly' beat Wisconsin. How does he do it? "Give my best to all the old schoolmates and please, for the love of Mike, write and give me some of the local dope.
