If only we hadn't fallen for that pumpkim pie with whipped cream! itapr comes the rusk of ttaa Christmas season. Looking at our calendar Tuesday morning and seeing December pop up gave us the heebee-jeebees. There's work to M doae.

STRONG FINISH GIVES MCHS WIN OVER HARVARD Free Throws Pile Up For Visitors In 54-49 Thriller Came the Warren gfem* last Friday night and you never saw such a finish. The story of the game appears on this page so let's not go into detail all over again. 11M Warriors called time out iftth only a couple of seconds to go -- having possession cm an out-of-bound play. "'Dk rest is history and make* hlce reading if you happen to be a McHenry fan. Loren Freund's long basket won the ball game and right away somebody yelled "a Notre Dame trick." goes to show that quiek thinking is looked upon as pretty smart if it's on your side and something else if it beats JOB. But. SB usual, fans were hot as sensible as the players. Those Warren players jut set their jaws and vowed to beat McHenry at their next meeting. And, bigosh -- they have what it takes! Our S.B.C. reports that the Iowa team sent that injured ND. player a bouquet with a card wishing him a speedy recovery. But, we ware spouting off bout basketball. On Tuesday night our boys almost fouled their way to defeat, but came through with another last ditch stand to beat Harvard. Near as we know our heart is ticking steadily these days, but t®fte Whing-ding finishes eant go on much longer. It's been good packin' this week and the kids have made the moat of it. Snow men popped up like mushrooms in our neighborhood. In fact, we had to remove one from our garage one night before we could get the oar in. Just can't imagine how it got there. Most of |» Will spend more money out of town the next couple of preeks than we should Larger cities do attract people. But, it's a long winter for our local merchants and they will hays to dig down for many a worthy cause between now and next summer. So -- let's visit our local stores first -- then go 'out of town if we have to. Those Warriors of MCHS gave the crowd another whooperdo of a basketball game on the home floor, beating Harvard 64 to 49 Tuesday night. The game took turns this way and that way -- and added some funny twists before the final score went into the records. For instance, Harvard didn't have a foul in the entire first quarter. At the same time they were scoring 6 of their 8 points from the free throw line. McHenry scored seven field goals to lead 14-8 at the quartA\ then went into a bit of a tailspin when their play-maker, Artie Barbier, had to leave the game due to an ankle injury. Coach Fulton tried different combinations and managed to hold a 23-1® lead at half time. Of the 18 points scored by Harvard, 12 came' from the free throw line. As the second half got under way, the Warriors scored four points before the Harvard boys got their hands on the ball. But, the picture changed fast. The visitors hit 8 field goals and 4 for 4 from the free throw line to take the lead 38-36 at the three-quarter mark. Noise and cheers rattled the rafters with a minute to go and McHenry leading by only one point. Each player got into the act in that nerve-tingling fourtn quarter to gaiiu. a hard-earned victory. Cook Is Good Harvard's Norm Cook put on a fine demonstration of speed, scoring and determination in leading the way with 20 points. Ol' Reliable Ron Ford spread his 19 points over each period to lead the Warriors." Four fouls didn't help Loren Freund and he had to sit out part of the second quarter. But, Loren was back with an inspirational sharpshooting performance in the last half to finish with 15 points.. Tokley never let up for a second, showing real competitive spirit. And Jim Jackson performed like a Jackson should in sinking two big free throws to end the game. McHeary <84) L. Freund , Barbier Ford Blake Com stock F. Oeffling Yokley Jackson G.

The 90-station, nationwide NBC network will carry the telecast starting at 1:45 pjn. (CST). Garaetime will be 2 p.m. (CST). The Notre Dame-SMU clash will bring to a close the 1953 General Motors TV Game of the Week series. While Coach Frank Leahy's Irish are favored to win Saturday's game, the Wide open style of play featured by the Mustangs from Dallas, Tex., holds the possibility of an upset. An SMU victory would be one of 1953's greatest football achievements and Coach Chalmer Woodward is sure to have his charges fired up for a peak effort in this, their last game of the season. Because most college teams have completed their regular schedules, all eyes of the football world will be on the Norte Dame-Southern Methodist game. The television audience for the game is expected to be the biggest ever to watch a regularly scheduled college football contest. Mel Allen and Lindsey Nelson, NBC sportcasters, will do the play-by-play and color commentary for the game. The Irish-Mustang game will complete a 12-week GM Game of the Week schedule during which all or parts of 38 college games in all parts of the nation have been televised since September 19. -- McHenry Recreation --» Friday Nite Owls -- Mi Place, 2 --• Wolff n^it Shop 1.

Cfatcp, Loren Freund Sinks Long Shot In Final Second For Victory §&rpit writers and top directors couldn't stage a finish the likes o' which the basketball crowd saw in the local gym last Wednesday night when McHenry defeated Warren 47 to 4<J as the last seconds ticked out of the clock. The warriors called time out with three seconds remaining in the game -- their \ball out of bounds -- and Warren leading 46 to 45. The crowd went goofy, but the Warriors talked things over with Coach Fulton and had a plan. Artie Barbier took the ball out of bounds and Loren Freund dropped \fi to the back court. Time was in and Loren moved up to take the pass from Artie. Loren took a long shot and banked it through the net. That was the ball game and ah hell broke loose in the gymnasium. Fans won't remember much about the game except the stirring finish, but both teams knew they were in a battle all the way. Warren led 13 to 10 at the quarter and 27 to 24 at the half, mostly because Miessner picked Up 17 of his 20-point total in the first half. Helping Warren was some slow passing on the part of the Warriors. Francis Oeffling and Tom Yokley came into the game in the third period and must be given a whale of a lot of credit for bringing about a tie score at the end of three quarters and then holding the game together until the starting five took over for the coupe de grace. Ron Ford carried the scoring OSEENHAND PARENTS ENTERTAINED sir F. F. A.
