Ma- ,', rcngo has. not played the McCracken '/ a'jji squad so far this year, but on paper appears to have a slight edge. McHenry's Faculty maintained ite clean slate by trouncing the Wood- "4"^ t". the Blue and White attack causing .v 1, seven goals and a trio of free throws Jr§5|^ for higK scoring honors.

Wegener came through with several and Teddy Anderson managed to filter through the none too gentle defense to sink three of them. Algonquin resorted entirely long shots despite the fact Woodstock's high school ficmlty team, proved to be no match for the well-balanced attack presented by the McHenry Teachers in their regular Tuesday night exhibition at the high school. Led by Joe Schmitt, McCracken and Teddy Anderson, the locals walked away with things in the first part of the game and piled up a 25-15 lead before the intermission and then coasted to an easy victory. Dale was the only threat on the Woodstock attack and the big forward dropped in seven baskets and three free throws for the high scoring honors of the tilt.

They didn't act uaily scalp them, but just about everything else happened, but it was all in fun and no lives were lost.
