C. H. S. this year. Practice is being called each evening after school by Coach McCracken in an effort to drill the green team that seems likely to be drawn into some semblance of a team before the season opens with Wauconda in the oponents gym, Dec. 6. "Mac" is drilling the players more on fundamentals than on anything else, and to an observer it surely looks like he has a job on his hands. One half of the members of the squad are in their first year of competition, with Wegener, Fatzke, Smith, O'Shea, Whiting, and Schreiner the only ones that have seen real action in a game before. The bunch appears to be in good trim, most likely due to the fact that they are nearly all football men. M.A.A. C. IN ANNUAL MEETING TUESDAY K. OF C. BOWLERS SQUASH ELGIN COUNCIL Wlinkel twinkled like a star to lead McHenry Council K. of C. In a brilliant Victory over the Elgin bowlers at the Palace Alleys last Friday night. Red had a 646 series for high score of the match, his games of 213, 242, and 191 making up the grand total. Weber also got a good start with 204 and 225 but fell down in the last effort. The local pinsters sprawled 1003 in the second game, one of the few games over a thousand ever rolled on these alleys. Their total of 2812 is also second high for this season. Real showed that he was a "real" bowler by spilling 203, 223, and 168 for a neat total of 594. It was just too bad for the Elgin man that they had to hit our heavy hitting stars on and "on" night for they didn't have a chance SUMMER SQUASH OF DELICATE FLAVOR At present the practice is consist-! after the first game was well started. Hebron High is sort of rushtiig the opening of the basket ball season. Trey open their schedule at Capron tomorrow night. They can well do this as the school isn't represented by • football team and as a result start practice quite esrrty. ! '"First basket ball practice ^ ho fetid in the near future now that the boys have got together. Sure signs «f winter, but who cares when basket "ball helps pass the cold weather along fa a very enjoyable manner. ^• Lettermen *>f the Crystal Lake High 'jjHhool were tendered a banquet last evening with aH afthletes who ever earned a letter at that school invited. Seems like a good idea and one that might provide a local entertainment for some of the heroes of ,*e past from M. C. H. S. history. x -'Well start,the "Strip" off this week with congratulations for the newly elected officers of the M A A C, especially R. I. Overton, president, and P. W. Frett, secretary, for they represent the outside element in the club, something that has always been lacking as far as active members were concerned. * Maybe they got the idea of pitching iJlorseshoes alter the Elgin Council of X. c. visited McHenry and went back home on the short end of the score after meeting the McHenry Council howling team. McHenry totaled the Heat sum of 2812 while the best that watchcity gang could pick up was f The HSjdn Heavyweights cHnebed tlie Big Seven Championship for this "year when they trimmed East Aurora fl to 0 in an easy game. Capt. Waifer scored two touchdowns, passed for ,4he third, and altogether made 156 yards from scrimage in 129 tries. Carnegie better look into the situation down there. Woodstock Ess and Tee Hups trimmed the Rockford Windsors last Sunday 6-0. They are just getting set to Meet the Clem's Smoke Shop eleven fci the near future. The Elgin bunch fcaven't lost a game this year and so for have kept their goal line spotless, ist one of those naturals uirStor^ r the promoter. fog chiefly of passing, pivoting, dribbling, and shooting short shots. No scrimmate has been indulged in and probably will not be started for at least another week. By that time most of them will become accustomed to handling the ball and then "Mac" will know better just what sort of an outfit he is going to run this year. Wegener, Patzke, Smith, Whiting, Anderson. Bob Peterson, Chamberlin, O'Shea, Britton, Schreiner, Frisby, Hetterman, Purvey, "Chuck" Peterson, Granger, Kreutxer, Howard, Segal and Frisby make up the roll call at present, but it looks very much as though at least two or three more will be dropped before the season opens. Here is the schedule for the sesson. You will note that the game with the Alumni has been omitted as it is yet doubtful if the high school will be able to put a team on the floor against the grads that would prove to be a drawing card. This game has always been an annual affair and is something the old followers will miss. Its not so long ago that the youngsters used to trim up their elders quite frequently.

Team Standing Forester League Team No. 3 .-7 5 .5«3 £. I. Overton Elected President, P. W Frett, Treasurer--Look For Best Year In History At the annual meeting and election! of officers of the McHenry Ameteur Athletic club held Tuesday evening at the high school, and by the way it was the best meeting ever held under the auspices of the club, R. I. Overton was elected president to serve for the ensuing year, Peter W. Frett is to serve as treasurer, Frank Page as vice president, and Earl Dowell as Sergeant-at-Arms. All taken into consideration, the interest taken by outside mehfbers, i. e., those outside the playing teams, this year may well be looked forward to as the best season to be experienced by the local club which is now in its third term. Perhaps people do not realise it but the athletic club that was organised three years ago back in 1927, is fast growing into the best of its kind in this vicinity. True, it has plenty cf room for expansion, and for this very reason the new officers and the committee named to act are going out and work to get all the back members 217 578 paid up in regard to dues and such, 191 646 ] and at the same time enlist any new 179 52 =; | applicants that can be interested. Finacially the club is quite well fixed as the result of a prosperous 1928-29 basket ball season, and with the same team back with a few experienced additions, there is no visible reason to expect anything but a favorable path ahead. The first step the newly elected officers are going to do is to hold a monthly meeting at the high school, scheduled for the second Tuesday each and every month. This will be a step towards making the organisation far more active and will enable it to take in a larger scope than at present.

Smith's league leaders took a tumble when they dropped two out of three to Ed. Freund and his gang Thursday night at the Palace alleys. Freund led his team to victory with a 562 series, the highest in the Forester league this week. His team also had a high game with 917, but lacked a couple of sticks of equaling the high game of 919 rolled by George Justen's team. This was the only game that Justen won, dropping the other two by ten pins and one pin respectively. Charlie Freund leading the conquerers with a 531 count. George Justen's squad also carried off total pin honors with 2538. - Eugene Nye of team No. 2 is showing marked improvement since the start of the season.

It need not be watery If properly cooked. Below are two recipes from the bureau of home economics for preparing summer squash. Summer squash may also be sifted, dipped in flour or egg and bread crumbs, and fried as eggplant is fried, or baked, or steamed in a regular steamer or a colander over hot water. When cooked in any of these ways without added water the full flavor of the squash is retained and the texture is more satisfactory to many people than when the squash is boiled, drained* a*d ear ted mashed. <c.

There was noise and plenty of it, which is the only way to enjoy good friendly sport, and the louder the noise the faster the pins fall. The evenings sport served to tighten up the league situation and now three teams are tied for first place, something very unusual in'a four team circuit. The Cary Electrics knocked the Bolger Drugs off the pedestal by taking two out of three, while the Mallory Hatters came to life and took the majority from the Nye Sparklers the first series the Hatters have captured. Several records were also hung up during the course of the evening, though how long they will stand is something else. William Green's three game total of 577 is the highest for this year, as is the Carey Electrics high single game of 939. Their series of 2652 stands out on top at present but the way these teams are shaping up none of the records will stand for a very long time.

The church was crowded for the unusual ceremony and hundreds of persons had to be barred from the church by the police because of their enriesity.

In these three centuries we have learned that its operation Is that of a pump. Rach expansion draws Into the left ventricle, one of the four chambers of the heart, about four tablespoonfuls of blood, which has completed its sevenminute circuit of the body and has been supplied with fresh oxygen by the lungs. The blood passes through the four chambers, being forced out Into the arteries through the right auricle. And that is about all we really know about the heart. There is still much to learn why and how Infections and nervous diseases affect its muscles and Its valves, throw it out of rhythm and tend to shorten Its usefulness. .) -- hwtractioa Points The teaching load refers to four factors conditioning the efficiency of instruction and are: (1) The pupilteacher ratio, as shown by the average daily attendance; (2) the number of classes taught by the teachers; (3) The number of student hours per teacher; (4) The number of-Students^ in a class. The North Central Associa-^ tion of Colleges and Secondary Schools; recommends the following as normal: (1) Pupil-Teacher ratio, 25; (2) The number of classes taught by the teacher, 6 daily; (3) The number of student hours per teacher, 150 per day; (4) the number of students In a class, 25.
