BACON'S STRIP'S •;iy '• --»y-- ZEKE" felACON Woodstock's Pfeifer Drugs trimmed the Clem Smoke Shop five of Elgin 46-38 in, a free scoring contest Sunday. Tlie Woodstock five is once more regaining the reputation that it once 1»ad as a result of victories over some of the leading teams in this region. The MA ACS home schedule has Teached a termination and it is doubtful whether more home contests will be played. Fans have diminished in number until it is costing the management money every time they schedule a game. The team will con, tinue to book out of town games and will probably appear at Woodstock in the near future. ' • The Forester league is witnessing tile closest race in years even though the Henry M. Weber Quintet is new drawing away to ,a safe lead- The other three fives are bunched In the iracc! for second place with Charlie Freund, Ed Smith and George Weber doing their utmost to rally their respective teams. Maybe Charlie or George could hire a 'Gus' to compete •with Ed. The Waukegan Recreation parlors had a grand re-opening last Tuesday night. It will be remembered that the Lake county alleys suffered a $70.- 000 loss by fire late last fall. All new equipment has been installed and business will again go on as usual in this popular recreation center. Joe Lama, well known to many lo£al bowlers, is osuft of the proprietors. Tltose rampagous Bolgers have crept up until they are within one game of second place in the KC bowling 1 &&gue. Since the acquisition of Weber the team has taken on new life and have not lost a series in their last eight matches. Before that winning streak they 'boasted' a 3 won and 18 lost standing, but their revival now finds them with a standing of 19 won and 24 lost. - McCraoken's men have hut one #ame scheduled for them this week-end but tViqt is an all-important contest with the Richmond team, co-occupants of the cellar in the county conference. Coach Gunderson's men will be slightly unfamiliar with the floor but he watching, a department in which Mc- Henry is well drilled. It should be a VBTy interesting and scrappy battle with the teams evehly matched. , HARyAKDWKB MAACS LIGHTS WIN 24-18 Harvard literally pushed the MAACS off their feet in the first half to gain a 30-9 advantage at the intermission an<k therein lies the story of the 43-30 trimming that the MAACS took in their last regular home game this season. The Hawk-Schulte combination proved to be too strong for the best that the locals could put on the floor and the score was run to 12 to 0 before the MAACS broke the ice and then .they could score but nine points during the first twenty minutes of play. During the second half Harvard inserted their 'irregulars' and the locals began to, show some of their old time class. Dutch Leonard was the whole show for the winners in this half scoring four baskets during the! short time he was in the game. The game was very rough throughout though the box score doesn't show ft. Flagrant violations were noticeable on both sides. . . ; Ponies Triumph:' McHenry Ponies took the helm with a fine 24-18 victory over the troublesome Harvard liphts in the preliminary. Many missed free throws kept them from piling up a commanding lead and marred what would have been a neat exhibition. Anderson and Whiting carried the play while in the game and handled it very advantageously. - McHenry led at the half 16-12 but subs failed to hold this advantage and Harvard megged ahead in the third f - ^ -a , ' J •" | ' . ~<3 ^ " y •- •: .• > Iv . f &ABOI OXOWS APPLAUDS school Boznra show A packed house greeted the advent of boxing at the community high school Tuesday evening and were rewarded by witnessing one of the scrappiest events that has ever been put on anywhere. Every sirigle m*tch from the first one, with Jackie Hess losing to Harold Taxman, to the big windup of the evening, with Chuck Peterson ekeing out a victory over Ray Howard, was packed with action and the thrills given the crowd were many- Of course, there was some bloodshed but no serious harm was done any of the boys and after all, what's a little blood?

Larry has been worrying about the case of over confidence the lads have acquired and is in hopes that the trimming Will do them more good than harm. , The cold snap has furnished the ambitious youngfolk with plenty of amusement this week. The old mill race has been the scene of many ,a gay skating party recently with the skaters trying to make full use of the ice while it lasts. Several ice boats have made their appearance being of the motor driven type with single and double propellors to furnish the momentum.
