Inderson testified in the in justice court that Wickstrom apparently speeded up to pass the head car, but was unable to do so, and was also unable to drop back into the traf fic lane and as a result skidded and collided with the Anderson car. The Anderson car turned over in the ditch on the right side of the highway and the other car came to a stop on the opposite side of the pavement. J. Herbert Mueller, Forest Park, who was driving behind Wickstrom, asserted that Wickstrom cut out of the south bound traffic lane and was abreast of the car he was attempting to pass for about two Uoclcs before the accident occurred.

McHENRY COUNTRY CLUB VERY POPULAR COURSE One of the largest Sunday morning crowds in four years graced the eighteen holes of the McHenry Country Club last Sunday despite the threatening skies that omened more of that semmingly ever-present rain. It was a very gratifying sight to the officers and members of the club who have sought and fought through these past hard years to keep the course in good condition so that the golfers would continue to come in such numbers as would make the upkeep of the club a profitable venture. Not only were the paying guests out in goodly numbers, but the members theaatihres were on hand to partake in at least one of the numerous tournaments that are betng conducted for their amusement and skill. Henry Vogel and Ed Smith finished their last eighteen holes to decide the holder of the Pouse cup for the coming twlve months and Henry was returned the winner on the last of the thirty-six hole tinal match. They had played the first eighteen holes of the match last Sunday and then postponed the rest of the match so that Ed could attend the bowler*' picnic held that afternoon. Ed waa two up at that time, but started out putting badly and never recovered his fo,rm. It was three putts after three putts on the greens all the way around and that eventually cost him the cup.

Other results were: Lou Smith over Tom Gill by default. Boots Remke over Henry Vogel. Art Stielow over Milt Mazurek. H. Bacon over Ed Smith. Carl Schmitt over Maierhofer. In the Vice-president's cup competition R.
