THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Thursday, February % 1956 &,e<vtje. o/a&ih. r' AJB- l WHEW!-- Harold Steffan, the Main fetreet Jewelry man, gave toddling circles a chance to buzz with excitemeht the past week It was last Wednesday night that Haroldewent over to McHenry Recreation to bowl with his Forester team. They bowl for fun. Well, maybe they dream of a 500 series. 6n this memorable night, Harold started off with a 187 game. That was quite a few pins higher than anybody else on his team, but not a score to enter the hall of fame. Came the second game and 248 pins. Usually a fellow hits a game like that and drops way off* in the next one. But, this time a once-in-a-lifetime score was in the making. The third game was 267 tg- ring up a remarkable 702 Series. Congratulations, Harold. You wrote a great series into the local bowling records. tVE WON!-- Our basketball Warriors won an overtime game from Warrei^ on the home floor last Friday night, 62 to 61. It was a real boost for Cliff Fulton and his boys. They have been On the wrong end of close scores too often this year. In winning only 2 games while losing 7 in conference play, the Warriors have scored 506 points against 563 tor their opponents. •From those figures you can readily see that most of their games have been close. Dick Smith phoned to request taention in this space regarding the men's county bowling tournament, April 7th through April 25 th. Teams will bowl at the Bowling Bar in Johnsburg. Singles and doubles will be bowled at McHenry Recitation. Applications are available at both alleys. Now, here's the date to rememoer-- February 14. That is the closing date1 for your entry.

The teams travel to Crystal Lake the following (Saturday) night where competition is tough. We want to be there. Anything can happen (Erv Zilly please note). Maybe you have been reading some of those indignation letters about the "Rabbit Drives" out in Kansas. A friend sent us a paper this week from out that way that gave us a few chuckles. Those rabbit drives seem to be the real McCoy. They report: "No firearms jvill be permitted. Bring your club and take part." Sort of like the old quilting bees of yesteryear. One writer asked the question: **Aren't the people of Kansas human?" To which the Governor of the state replied: "It finally gets down to the place where it's either us or the rabbits." -- BOWLING BAR -- Thurs. Nite Ladies-- » Z. Malochleb, 202-485; B.

Young Warriors Beat Warren 40-36 This particular paper has an editorial on the subject and draws a comparison that amusingly warns the politicians to reduce taxes or beware of the club at next election. FLASH-- That wheel chair basketball game (Gizz-Kids) written up by Ralph Patzke has been changed to Great Lakes Gym, next Wednesday, February 8th. DAILY PINUPS: A genius is a gentleman who is glib at getting at ignLtion trouble. Some folks bury their mistakes; some others just cover them up. An atheist is one who admits each new day without acknowledging its Maker. It's the little things that count; it's the big ones that accumulate. Tripping on a pebble is an accident; falling over a stone is an ' incident. It isn't so much what you do as how you do it; it isn't always what you see but how you view it. ANONYMOUS McHenry's Frosh-Soph basketball team won their game 40 to 36 over Warren's J.V. here Friday night. Going into the last period with a 10 poiirt lead, the home team relaxed nl bit too much'. They scored only two points in the fourth quarter as Warren pounded away and almost upset the applecart. Scoring help came from all positions on both teams, but it was Matt Eichinger's 14 points that led the way.

A big fishing derby was sponsored by the Wisconsin Department of Conservation Club. •• I have never seen so many people on a lake at once in my .life. I'll bet there were over two thousand tip-ups on Silver Lake for the fishing derby. You could hardly walk witnout steppng on someone's tip-up. Qne of the local . taverns even had a bar with a windbreak rigged up on the ice. We thought We had seen everything when we saw a skin-diving exhibition. This took place in the open water in the middle of the lake. The skin-divers had wore rubber suits. I imagine they were insulated. They also had aqualungs strapped to their backs. Well, we hadn't seen everything yet because about five minutes later a man walked to the edge of the ice with just bathing trunks. He slid into the Water and swam around for quite a while. This fellow did not have any grease or protective coating on his body. He must be part fish and part polar bear. I know I would never think of trying such a stunt and I think there were about a thousand people on Silver Lake last Sunday who will agree with me. The first prize, .a 12 ft. Aluma- Craft boat was won by a fellow with a 6 lb. 5% oz. northern. The ice was crowded and . there was too much commotion. Anyone who caught a pike or bass had to really work for it. We think the big ones were hiding under the weeds. A letter from Charles Schaefer of Wonder Lake came in too late for this week. Watch for it next week. SCHEDULE ASC SIGN-UP MEETING AT HIGH SCHOOL Bert Bridges, chairman of the local ASC committee, reminds all farm owners and operators that sign-up for the 1956 Agricultural Conservation program is now in progress. ^The local meeting of McHenry and Nunda townships will be held Feb. 8 at the local,, high school. *® This is the program, explained Mr. Bridges, under which the government shares with farmers the cost of carrying out various soil ^conservation. practices. Assistance may be obtained for such beneficial projects as the application of limestone and rock phosphate, pasture development, additional seeding, the construction of sod waterways, tile outlets, etc. Sign-up meetings are being held throughout the county and the farmers from each community are invited to attend on a scheduled basis. Interested persons unable to attend one of these meetings should call at the county ASC office for this purpose any time during the year. LARGE CROWD TURNS OUT TO BOWL FOR POLIO BENEFIT FUND Lend Unci* Sam Your Dollars Buy U.S. Savings Bonds . A large crowd turned out for the polio benefit bowling matches last week, netting about $65 for the fund. All alleys were filled. Another event is being staged this week and the fund should go over the top. High scores: Jim Stella, 205-560; Vern Freund, 214-586; Hans Behnke, 215-547; Harold Blake, 193-541; George Barbian, 200-539; Leonard Thennes, 517; Joe Kuna, 505; Marion Donnelly, 178; Peg Kraus, 170; Gertie Barbian, 180-487. WARREN SQUAD IN OVERTIME BATTLE Hard Fought Game On Home Floor Ends In 62-61 Score y" ' 'TwaS a roaring crowd that saw our McHenry Warriors win an overtime basketball game from Warren here Friday night 62 to 61. McHenry needed that victory and it should prove. a real tonic. The boys played their hearts out, made some mistakes, then showed what it takes to win close games. The Warriors were real hot Shots in the first quarter as they moved into a 22 to 16 lead. Only two of those 22 points came oh free throws. The game tightened up in the second period as Warren started to press and caused the home team to mess up some passes. Failure to come out to ineet passes and help in moving the ball past the center line was evidently emphasized in time-out instructions. Beshel scored 26 points for Warren, but had to sit out part of the game to reflect on his four fouls. He went back in and finished, almost wrecking McHenry's best intentions. The final minute of regular time was a dizzy whirl. Gowe put Warren ahead 57 to 55 with only 20 seconds remaining. Bernie Schmitt was the man of the hour as he tied it up just before the final buzzer. Beshel and Gowe each sank baskets for Warren in the overtime. Beck got a free throw, Huemann got two and Wissell dropped in a basket. Coach Fulton's boys gave him a fine spread in scoring as well as a fighting spirit. They also gave him some horrible moments when excitement caused them to forget instructions on how to control their game. But, any mistakes were easily forgiven as that one'big point stood' up when time ran out on a disappointed but courageous Warren squad. yictories haven't come easily .for McHenry this year, the only other conference victory being an overtime battle royal with Barrington. Most of the games have been close, bpt the ball bounced the wrong way. • i . Coach Fulton started Jim. Huemann and this proved a happy choice. Jim's aggressive play has brought down the whistle on him in previous games. This time he stayed in all the way, scored 12 points, bounded high for rebounds and sank two' mighty big free throws in the overtime. Art Beck had a hard time getting started in offense, but picked up the slack when others let down in the "last half. Art scored, 12 points and one of those was in that Suspense-filled overtime. Steady Bernie schmitt, who in this writer's opinion should shoot more, spread 14 points over the game and saved the big basket to tie the game and foroe an overtime. Dick Wissell and Jim Justen shared the center duties, each scoring 4 points and getting a terrific workout trying to stop Beshel under the basket. Jim, who is just up from Frosh-Soph, hauled in a surprising number of rebounds. Dick probably got his big thrill out of that basket in overtime. John Huff led the scoring with 16 points and as usual was the play-maker and fireball for the Warriord. in spite of his agressive play, John was the only man on the f|oor who did not have a foul called on him. Yep. The Warriors won a big one Friday night. Let's give credit to the boys and their coach.
