You will find the schedule on this page. last We spent a few minutes watch: basketball practice this week found that our second team of year has moved up to varsity. Do you remember who played last year? Remember that first game? McHenry bit off a big bite in that .one and almost chewed it. The county champs from Crystal Lake were here and the crowds lined the walls of the gym. Our boys gave a really great Crystal Lake team a run for it, but lost in the closing seconds 88 to 33. records of the ring have usually shov/n the boxer can hold his own against the slugger. Jim Corbett proved it against John L. Sullivan, looking back some 53 years. Sullivan at the moment, however had been all through for some time, after 10 years of strong alcoholic indulgence.

John "Bud" Miller played center. George Whiting, Norm Knaack and "Morrie" Crouch handled the guard posts. And it seems to us that Lloyd Freund went in when Dean fouled out late in the. game. Bonslett was counted on as a heavy scorer last year, but an injury kept him out. Murphy had a broken toe that kept - him but til late in the season. Dick Schmitt came along to play a good game and George Goranson showed promise. Carl Neiss was a great point-maker on the second team, but had trouble hitting his stride with the first squad.

What about Jack Dempeey Gene Tnnney, used as the lending example of boxer vs. puncher? They fought 21 rounds of which Tnnney won at least 16 possibly mere. Bnt don't forget that the Dempeey of Philadelphia and Chicago was far from being the Dempeey of Toledo. Seven years on top take their toll. Sam Langford was a great fighter and a great puncher. But check Old Sam's record against 139-pound Jack Blackburn, who trained Joe Louis. Blackburn told me once that in seven fights Langford had never Scores of a match reached us a little too late, but note that Dick Smith rolled a 640 series, featuring a 195 game.

Each year people ask, "What have we got this year?" and "Let's see, who did wl have last year?" We wouldn't know how the will line up this year, but saw a combination of "Sonny" Miller and Carl Neiss at forward, Lockwood at cruiting station. But instead of waitcenter, Murphy and George Miller ing in line, Billy wandered around ford as much as Sam hurt me. Blackburn said. Blackburn was a master boxer, one of the greatest. Sam Langford will tell you that. Langford looked better against Jack Johnson and Harry Wills than he looked against Blackburn -- as Blackburn explained the case some years ago. Why Corm Wasn't in Navy With Joe Louis in the army, why wasn't Billy Conn picked for the navy? This question has been asked more than once. This is the story we get from a high navy official. "We had Conn all set to go into the navy. This was also O. K. with Conn. At the time we figured an armynavy ring match might help out a lot in some financial war campaign. Even if this never took place, we wanted Conn in the navy. So Conn reported at a navy re- 80/20 / * \ COLLISION INSURANCE Wlurt Ym'w Always Wartri at guard working out.
