We have a happy combination of size and speed when all players are available. The old flu caught up with five or six boys and laid 'em low. «'< --|-- With a lack of reserves, the starters found themselves with the responsibility of winning.' They didn't look too good in the first half, but it was still their game to win. There Wasn't any new team to step in and take over the job. --I-- It looks to us like the boys "seen their duty and done it" In tile lass half. They warmed up to the job. --I-- ; This game of basketball as it is played today calls for plenty of re- , serve strength over a period of games. However, there is always that tight game coming along when the best five-man combination should be able to stay right in there. --I-- Hebron is coming to town Friday night with one of those teams that can either call on reserves or keep their starters right in there.

McHENRY COMES FROM BEHIND IN 43 TO 32 v / WIN OVER ST. MART'S won I Excuse please, 'cause our wins have been too few and far between this year. Now that our jubilation has been aired, it is time to say that our high school basketball team beat St. Mary's of Woodstock 43 to 32 on Tuesday evening of this week in our home gym. Starts With »-• Blackeot! The Green and White ffve^started off with a 9 to 0 lead as McHenry poured shots everyplace but through the net. Seven missed free throws in nine attempts gives you a fair idea that the McHenry boys were not settled down to earth in the first half. Kramer. St. Mary's center, led his mates with 10 points in the first half and rested during intermission with a 19 to 14 lead. Lanres Reflects, Then Shows Staff Laures, who rested on the bench late in the first half to reflect on three unnecessary fouls, came back in the second half to turn in one of the sweetest passing games seen in many moons. The whoe team clicked during the second half. Larkin dropped 'em right and left, sinking seven shots as compared to his one basket .in the first half. Combination Clicks WKth Meyers at center, teaming with Laures and Larkin at forward, Coach Reed seems to have a combination that can go places fast. There is nlenty of scoring punch in this trio. Gausden and Schultz proved to be a powerful pair of guards, besides contributing much to the scoring attack. Due to the illness of several olavers on the first team squad. Joe Jackson and Harry TInti were moved up. Roth saw action and showed that thev will have to be reckoned with in future plans. - Conway and Larkin Lead Scoring Conwav, a snappy little forward, led the losers with 13 noints. Larkin's 17 points paced McHenry. The visitors showed their everpresent will to win. staying ri«rht in there to the very last second. At one time in the third period they cooled McHenry down to a three point lead. The McHenry boys were especially happy to win this game in order to even matters for a loss to the Stuessy boys earlier in the season. Second Team Wins McHenry's second team had an easy time beating St. Mary's lights to the tune of 23 to 9. Joe Jackson led the scoring with four baskets. iFrancis Wirts followed with three baskets. Bob Adams and Dick Conway each had three free throws to their credit. Bolger, Schaefer and Newkirk each contributed a point to the good cause. Wiedeman, Freund, Clark, Schaefer and Petersoiywmpleted the squad that saw action. BOWLING NOTES X PALACE ALLEYS {Schedule: Sunday .i-- Open bowling.

The weather didn't seem to agree with us so we went on a sledding party instead. Before we started out for an afternoon of fun, we met in Miss Althoff's room and she checked attendance. After a short business meeting, we went out on the hill next to the grade school. I noticed that many of the girls had an exciting time. I know I did! After our afternoon of fun there was a surprise waiting for us in Miss Althoff's room. Three of the troop committee members, Mrs. Stilling, Mrs. Durland and Mrs. Goodell served hot chocolate and butter cookies. The refreshments iust hit the snot after our outing in the snow and cold. Thank you again, committee members. After the refreshments were served, one of the committee members suggested that we have a real sleigh ride party with the sleigh drawn by horses. When Miss Althoff told the gills the news, they jumned with joy. When I heard the noise, I thought the school was goin? to cave in. "But," said Miss Althoff, "there's a catch to it. All the .girls must work hard and pass more tests." The date was set for the sleigh ride for January 29. 1940. Here's hoping for snow end more snow.
