Hebron will meet Richmond in the second game. The two other first division teams, McHenry and Woodstock will meet on the following Sunday. Harvard will meet Crystal Lake in the second half of that double bill. Winner to State Teurney The eventual winner of the games played by the first division teams will enter the state tournament at Sycamore. Next Sunday the Tigers will face Julius "Tubby" Simonini in what promises to be a battle all the way. Bill Kreutzer, who has shown remarkable form this season, will twirl for the Johnsburg team in their bid to stay on top of the heap. The game next Sunday wili start at 1:30 p.m. Mrs. Mike Schaefer and daughter, Loretta, of Crystal Lake visited relatives here Tuesday.

Gentlemen: Just a note thanking yon for yoerf kind co-operation and thoughtfulness in forwarding the boys in service that timely town, tattler tissue, The Plaindealer, and I think I can speak for everyone on your mailing list, that oext to a letter from home, yours is the moot welcome news. People at home and especially old soldiers-, are wondering what life hi Army camps is like these days. Well, all I can say is things happen so fast and furious that remembering single incidents is all but impossible. Only major happenings are. embosesd in my memory, for instance, my first meeting with the old Pacific. In regard to the latter, we were practicing beach landings from about a quarter mile off shore. As planned,, we were lowered from thf lee side,1 which happened to be our starboard and landward side. Being protected for the moment by the graceful ship, we proceeded to pull away and toward shore. All went well until reaching the outlying calm waters end, where the churning, angry ses begsn to pitch and roll our over-crowded boat. About this time we were nearing that very trickish last two hundred yards where the sea begins to roll and form hups breakers that thunder into shore and threaten to smash the v^ry beach away. Our boat began edging sideways with the oncoming waves despite all efforts. Before I realized the danger I was sailing overboard, as were the rest. Until that time I had never been in water that seemed full of rolling hills, but soon became very used to it. My first thought as I reached the crest of an oversized ripple was the whereabouts of our boat. I was not long in thinking, for as I tumbled and somersaulted from my lofty perch, something seemed to rise and meet me. It met me all right, smack dub on my outstretched abdomen. The good old terra firma that we had intended to take in a vertical position took me in a horizontal one. Happenings such as this make you forget the trivial everyday experiences and always furnish a part of our night life, where we gather around barracks or a post exchange and relate our thoughts to each other. We are very fortunate out hero. ( Our camp is located near a number of j large cities, such as Carmel, Monterey, ] and Salaines. The boys can go to town and indulge in a few drinks or maybe dance to a well known, band. Congestion is not felt here as in other encampments where large concentrations seek the relief from camp life by visiting tile nearby towns of, say a few hundred population. And as a result,1 soon become a ^regular nuisance by hanging on street corners and over populating the various hangouts. You people at home think time passes slowly here in service, but quite to the contrary. This seventh division is a field army, so it spends most of Its time at war games. Therefore, such problems as one would meet in actual combat are gone over and carried out to minute detail. Now and then I run into McHenry's little round man, Tony Wolf. He is a member of Headquarters company and is doing his bit at a switchboard. During our last maneuvers I bumped into Tony out near Jolon. It had been an awfully hot day, so towards evening I set out in search of a place to bathe. It didn't take me long to find a cool mountain stream, so as I followed it I came upon a bridge the en gineers had constructed, over which a huge Eucalyptus tree affording the only shads available for about a mile. I proceeded to yank off my uniform bit by bit when I heard a faint buzzing from the vicinity of that tree. All I could think of at the moment was that the Red Forces were in here giving out information. So I crept up to a vantage point where I could overlook what was happening, and whom do I see but our little round man, just as busy as a bee. His hands were going this way and that, plugging in wires and checking calls. 1 yelled to him and he grumbled a few words and went on working. All in all, he waa just too busy doing his job for Uncle Sam to greet an old pal. Well, I believe I've told enough for one note so I'll add just one more tiling. I hope the other boys in service are getting as much out of this one year (as it started out to be) as I Mb * pfinte Loren G. Mill%4 32nd Inf. Co. Service, , " . Fort Ord, California.

Make the coffee so that it tastes like mud and bring it in a cradwd cup so that it drips down my Chin when I drink it." The concoction came--and the puzzled waitresa askod: "Is there anything more?"
