The boys have asked us to keep you reminded that they are determined to give you some high class games. Make their games a Sunday afternoon habit -jiff'."1 Tltey might get Judge Landis to investigate Hebron's "farm system," but it happens that moat of Hebron's boys dont come from the farm. • - I There are a number of factors in Hebron's success that have been played up in print, but what strikes us in following' their box scores throughout the year is that every man on the is a scoring threat. . KEEN RIVALRY AS rOKESTSR TBAM GETS KIADT FOR ALEMITE Coach Wiltett took a fatg fellow «mmed Voltz from a natural guard spot and made a scoring center out of him. We didn't think it possible. :< --1~ Woodstock has another good team , tills year Oat will keep say opposition hustling. . ' --*1" Huntley has a fine record, but failed to -impress in the tournament. They looked like, a team that had gone past ; t h a p e a k . ' , ^ We dont betiudge Ifaatley «ny glory. They took on all; comers for several years, with small material hat all the spirit in the world. --•I-- < There's a surprise package in awry box! Richmond was it this time! --I-- Most of us felt that Richmond would tire out quickly, coming from a •m»lV floor to the spacious Woodstock gym, but they fooled us. --I-- The Richmond boys must have found second wind somehow. They didn't use more than six men ifc any game. Of course the Richmond squad was no match for Hebron in the finals, but the fact that they reached the finals makes the experts look like dopessters. "Wurts," Sentinel up-and-ooming sport writer, showed us through the new Woodstock gym. Even took us in to see the new swimming pool, pointing out the life belts all about-- in case we wanted to go floating! --I-- Joe Jackson put on a rousing show .for McHenry, scoring eight baskets against Huntley. -IOur McHenry boys eame from behind to gain a lead on Huntley in the third quarter, but slipped in the fourth period. --I-- Coach Reed yanked the entire team for a short rest in the late stages of the last quarter, but the move failed to stem the Huntley tide. Our regulars went back in, but were unable to click. The boys were unable to hit the net. --IWe made a mistake in showing J. "Bonura" Bolger some old files in The Plaindealer office. He and Larry Huck seemed to doubt our recent report of their "Ivory" plays. What hit us hard was having such things as "Bolger Stars in Center Field" and "Bolger Snares Four Line Drives." Those things appear, but so ' do the "Ivory" reports! But, here's one we ran into '. "Huck and Conway joined the fanning club." --I-- A bunch of boys were'talking it up in the Palace one afternoon this week »nJ it came out that "Uncle Ed" Smith can roll more syrup on a knife than any man from here to Kokomo. --I-- A trip to the north woods, where pancakes and syrup are part of the daily diet, revealed Uncle Ed'& Jewess, He is hailed as champ! There is also some talk of staging af; pancake eating contest to see who leads the field. --IWe have seen a couple of new ladies' hats of late that rate mention. We'd like snapshots. 1 We don't read mlA about the Pittsburgh Pirates in winter basebhll speculations, but they may be the dark horse in the National League. Especially if the veteran A1 Lopez can catch most of the game. v --I-- A manager like Frankie Frisch doesn't like to lose. His team will be hard to beat if our Crystal Ball 'it working! Some day we will learn to pay attention to Doctor Chamberlin's predictions. At the Ela game Tuesday night, the doctor told us that he would give Ela ten points and beat 'em. We didn't think sow McHenry won « to 28. McHenry is going up to Hebron on Friday night of this week to see what can be done about holding the county jj^hamps to a respectable score. We hear tell that Donald Meyers is going to be back on the squad starting with the Hebron game. That's good news. Donald has a world of ability. We hope he can finish his high school career in a blaze of glory. • --I-- Next Thursday night the team will tmvel to Ela (Lake Zurich) in a return engagement. To eomptete next wash's schedule, the local boys will be hosts to the formidable five from St. Thomas of Rockfoed. McHenry C. O. F. basketball teams lost two games last Sunday night but not without putting up two good battles. Final results showed Genoa City's seconds winning 29 -19, and Genoa's first five in a 28 - 22 margin over the McHenry firsts* The games were really much better than the final scores indicate. Both of the C. O. F. teams showed much improvement over previous games. The last quarters proved disastrous to the local teams. However this will be taken care of after the teams have had more practice sessions. Everyone seemed to be cl the opinion that the defence and passing ham improved considerably. Sunday night, the Alemite Recreation teams invade the home grounds. These encounters should prove to be of great interest. As you undoubtedly know, the Alemite fives have previously trimmed the McHenry boys on St. Mary's floor and as the saying goes, "revenge is sweet." Rivalry between Woodstock and McHenry, reminiscent of the days of yore, will reach its height in these games. The C. 0. F. lads are all confident that the Woodstock playes will go home in defeat. For some real entertainment, come down to the McHenry High school gym on Sunday and see the locals trim the Alemite Recreation. Don't forget, mark your calendar for this date, January 12, 7:80 p. m. Practice this week will be on Friday at 7:15.

STABS ? HPUTPITOH" PABST BOWLING CHAMPS Just like Old Man River, the Chicago Pabst Blue Ribbon bowling champions, keep rolling along, night after night. Starting last Saturday night and continuing to next Sunday, January 12, the Pabst squad will have rolled every night, except two. Last Saturday evening, Pabst maple maulers met and defeated the Dean Rubber Co. five of Kansas City, 2,962 to 2,897 pins. The following night they competed in Ray Schalk's annual sweepstakes meet, finishing fourth with a total of 4,039 sticks. Lose to Ball Players On Monday night at the C. Y. O. alleys, the Pabst quintet did its share for charity by taking on a team composed of major league baseball players, proceeds going to the Catholic Youth Organization Needy Youth Fund. This was the third annual meeting arranged by Jamec Tinney, sponsor of the Pabst pin topplers. Facing six ball players, the Pabst rollers were very much off form, losing in total pins by the score of 2,871 to 2,760. Some of the members of the Pabst team rested on Tuesday night; Wednesday night they competed in the Classic circuit; on Friday night they will appear at the Gold Coast Recreation drives, 1213 North Clark street, to defend their Chicago city championship, which they have held for the past two years; on Saturday they will journey to St. Louis, Mo., to participate in the S. & W. individual classic, and the following evening they will be back in Chicago to roll in the Sunday division of the Classic PF 8 1 1 1 2 * i TP 2 1 8 2 4 . 0 3 7 SKBIOX BXAT RICHMOND TOE FOURTH COUNTY TITLE IN ROW Hebron's high school basketball team again kept the little town in the limelight by winning the McHenry County Tournament at Woodstock, defeating Richmond in the finals last Saturday night with plenty to spare 41 to 25. McHenry put up a good game against a strongly favored Huntley squad on Thursday night, but faded out of the picture fat the last quarter bog-down. Joe Jackson in Great Form Joe Jackson was the works in Mc- Henry's game, scoring eight baskets. A little scoring punch in other positions could easily have put McHenry over wtih victory. Richmond was the surprise package in the tournament, beating Harvard 25 to 20 on the first night and nosing out Huntley 20 to 19 in the semifinals. Mar««igo Surprises Fans Other gomep the first night found Hebron trampling over Crystal Lake 52 to 17. Marengo threw a scare into Woodstock for three quarters with some of the best basketball of the tournament, but finally succumbed to the classy Woodstock outfit 51 to 87. Hebron had quite a tussle in disposing of Woodstock in the semi-finals Friday night, but came through 28 to 25. As mentioned, Richmond shattered predictions by beating Huntley 20 to 19. i> The victory in the finals gave Hebron its fourth straight county title. They seem to have what it takes.

We started the New Year right by doing work on badges. Many of the girls are almost First Class Scouts. First we formed a horseshoe to have a Color Guard ceremony. Betty Kramer, Shirley Patzke, Joan Durland and Mary Douglas led us in the salute. Then we reviewed the laws, promise, slogan and motto. Last, we told the story of how Scouting began. We are very happy to have two new girls join our troop. They are Dolores Vales and Joyce Weber. This makes our troop have thirty-four active members. Two months are over and we elected a new program committee chairman, Shirley Patzke. Mary Douglas < and Phyllis Smith are her helpers. | Don't forget to meet with Miss Lar- ( kin and Miss Bauer Thursday after school. 1 Now that McHenry has a good ] place to go skating, we plan to go on , a stating party next Monday. Those who xan't skate may bring sleds and slide on the ice. Be sure to dress warmly. The Second Class Scouts spent the remainder of the meeting on our World Trefoil and Winter Sports Badges. For our World Trefoil Badge we are very interested in making a cloth doll to represent each of the twenty countries we chose for our study of International Friendship. These dolls are dressed in the costume appropriate for the country. We are to have them finished by the next meeting. At the end of the meeting, we sang some of our favorite songs and closed by singing "Taps.*' ~ Luck to you! VRIGINIA 8TRATTOM, Scribe.

Scoutmaster Schoenholtz turned the opening of the. meeting over to Robert Weideman who used the "Flag Ceremony" to start the meeting. Robert Richardson and Donald Schaefer were color guards, and Dean McCracken was color bearer. Charles Page played the "Call to Color" on the bugle. Norman Neiss then led us in the Pledge of Allegiance. . The meeting was then turned over to the Scoutmaster, who told us some of the troop history. An odd thing was that the first number of our troop was one, the second was sixtytwo, and now the number is 162. We plan to go swimming on the 11th and 18th of January. We will have a Board of Review the 20th and we expect a good showing. Patrol Leaders were requested to ask each member of his patrol how many points he could get at the Board of Review. TJie 27th of January we planto have a Scout-Father banquet. The Scouts are requested to bring their fathers, or if your fsther can't come, bring a sponsor who may be a manfriend of yours. The price of the dinner will be about* fifty cents. There will be a Court of Honor also and we expect Mr. Murphy and Mr. Stocker, the Scout executives. After Mr. Schoenholtz finished making these announcements we sang some songs for the closing of the meeting. Don't forget Scouts, "Be Prepared" for the Board of Review! SCOUT ADOLPH WEIDEMAN.

Natives of the island of Tahita, in the South Pacific, go in strong for tatooing, and until the war started obtained machines for plying their art from Germany. That source of supply being cut off, they now get their tatooing machines from a new manufafitjyr if Los Angeles. HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mr. Leonard McCracken was a representative from McHenry county last week at the State Education association meeting at Springfield. Considerable interest was shown at this meeting in the Teacher Tenure law which will prevent the school board from releasing any teacher without stating the reasons for his dismissal. The bill which is being submitted has the full approval* of the State School Board association. Mr. Paul Yanda, accompanied by Mr. Olson, a teacher from Woodstock, left today for Champaign, 111., where the Band Clinic is in progress at the University of Illinois today and tomorrow. The athletes at the high school were thankful after Christmas when they returned to find that the shower rooms had been completely redecorated. Also, during this period, the Building Trades class completed the installation of lights on all the stairways which heretofore had been dark and hazardous. The Building Trades class has further proved its usefulness by painting the waits in the rural library room. The boys painted the upper part of the room buff and the lower a light brown, stenciling a border around the room where the two colors meet as well ne at a point Just below lbs ©ailing.
