They out^gaimed and out-played Whitewater through, most of the game, both teams putting up a stubborn resistence. McHenry showed power and gained consistently by plunges and end runs, btft Whitewater up-set this by being fortunate in connecting with two long touchdown passes. In the "first quarter a. pass from Captain Justen to Larkin, climaxing! a series of long gains, made by good: line work and hard driving of thej backfield gave us our first touch-j down. Wedeman's kick for the extra j point was blocked, probably due toi McHenry's line being inexperienced j in holding for a kick. In the second quarter came * McHenry's first bad break. The home fellows pushed Whitewater back against their own goal line where they were forced to kick out. The McHenry players swarmed in and blocked the kick. Wedeman recovered the ball, but a Whitewater man was partly on it and Wedeman put one hand on the ball, but failed to get his other hand on it, which was the difference between a touchdown and a safety and two points instead of six. This made the score 8 to 0 in our favor. In the beginning of the second-half our boys had another bad break when Whitewater uncorked a long pass on first play and went over the line for a goal and made their extra point. Score now 8-7, our favor. To off-set this, Freund in the same quarter, intercepted a Whitewater pass on his own 15 yard line, and behind excellent blocking by his teammates, ran 85 yards for a touchdown. On the play Wedeman blocked two tacklers at once to clear the way for the last few yards. In fourth quarter came the second break against McHenry, when a fumle gave Whitewater the ball on our n 15 yard line where they held for two downs. And then a fortunate pass, which seemed to have been stopped, blopped into a Whitewater man's hands for their second touchdown. They made good their extra point and tied the score.

The McHenry Coach expressed his belief that his large supply of promising young replacements have been the best the school has had for sometime. But the game was so feverishly fought that few substitutes were used The substitutes were, Don Meyers, Waine Nuelle, Robert Stilling and Francis Schmitt. Whitewater presented a seasoned team of veterans, losing only a few, which came here last year _ #md lost 25 to 0. They fought ferociously to avenge last year but to no avail. McHenry showed considerable power especially in line plunges and their running game. They gained considerably on passes. Justen to Larkin were the main cogs in the passing machine. They showed power on the defense by time after time holding the big Whitewater team for downs. At one time, after a blocked kick and hard driving by the Whitewater backs, they brought the ball to our one yard line. There, McHenry's forward wall showed great power in stopping and holding them ro? four downs on the one yard line. The McHenry Coach expresed himself as being well pleased with the performance of the new players, who comprise almost the whole team, one Freshman and several Sophomores being included in the starting lineup. J Whitewater fans, impressed with McHenry's constant superiority, were so elated at the unexpected tying of the score in the last minutes of play that they celebrated the tie as if it was their victory. _ WILBERT SCHAEFER, Manager. HOW* PASSION PLAY STARTED TO WARD OFF BLACK PLAGUE.-- The Passion play at Oberammergau depicts scenes, which daring the plague of the Black Death, led the villagers to make their vow to present the play once every decade forever, notes a writer in the Review of Reviews. The Black Death, following in the wake of the Thirty Years war, raged through Europe, sweeping away'entire communities. Some 600 peasants, wood carvers and farmers living in the Bavarian village of Oberammergau determined to keep the plague from their community. A belt of brush fire was set around the village and guards stopped any stranger who tried to enter the valley. One of the peasants, a certain Karl Schisler, was employed in a neighboring village. Becoming homesick, he eluded the guards one moonless night and visited his wife and children. Immediately the village was stricken. Forty-eight peasants died and the disease continued to spread. The village council then gathered in the church and made the historic vow, which, despite the $act that wars have disrupted its iregular schedule, has been kept Jnow for three centuries. From the hour of the vow, says the record. no one died of the Black Death in Oberammergau.

How Railway Engineers Can "Talk" to Trainmen Engineers and conductors on some Midwest trains can "talk" to each other without the shrieking locomotive whistles making sleep impossible for dwellers, near the tracks. One line in that section has developed a whistle with a softer, more melodious tone. Making the whistles easier on the ears is about the best railroads can do as yet to answer cqmplaints of would-be sleepers. For until radio is further perfected, whistles must remain the sole communication between conductors and engineers on moving trains, observes a writer in the Washington Post. A conductor talks to his engineer by pulling the cord running through all cars. This blows a little whistle>- in the cab. For instance, two toots of the small whistle say "stop." 1*he engineer answers by 4mce tooting the big whistle atop'the boiler. When he approaches a station, the engineer informs the conductor with one long toot. By pulling the cord three times, the conductor tells the engineer to stop at the depot. Then the engineer indicates he understands with three blasts of the big whistle. '.""T""'" ma from the College of Swedish Massage and Hy< dro-thereapy.

AS THE WORLD MOVES How to Learn Ventriloquism Some stage performers have developed into such expert ventriloquists that it appears as if their voices were coming from a distance, the roof, the audience or the dummy they hold upon their lap. This has given rise to the delusion that such persons "throw their voices." But as a matter of fact the voice is not "thrown" but is muffled in the throat, , that is; the performer talks without moving the lips or face muscles and by directing the attention to certain objects he creates the illusion that the voice is coming from that point. It is an art which most anyone can master, says Pathfinder Magazine, if he or she has the patience to stand before the mirror and practice speaking words and sentences without face movement. Words containing b, f, m, p, or v are the hardest but even these may be made to be understood after continued practice. Hew Mayfair Got Name Mayfair, London, derived its name from a fair that used to be held at the north side of Piccadilly during the first 15 days of May.
