Varsity clubs and athletic departments of county high schools. ( Part of the proceeds from the - sale of books will be shared with •#' the athletic departments and Varsity clubs, while any net profits will be turned over to the coaches to establish a suitable award at subsequent county tourneys. , Don Peasley and George Sullivan, Woodstock sportswriters, are . co-editors. They report the increased number of pages reflects the generous support of county merchants and industries. 'V The extra 20 pages include 'seven more pages of editorial .gontent, Peasley said. There are over 30 photos in the brochure, Tfcnd the photo coverage of the 1956 meet has been expanded to jthree page?. Stories by participants in former tourneys, includ- •fiig Paul Judson, are among highlights of this permanent souvenir . fooklet. ^^• The initial source of the box Igcores from each of the 37 championship games reflect the broad interest of, fans, Peasley said, and the editors are deeply .appreciative of the spontaneous interest which has been shown throughout MoHenry county. Some scores were dug up by more than one person when the call for help went out. Be- Nfr cause of its accessibility, the Woodstock Sentinel was used as a starting point in the lengthy Search. Newspapers Cooperate ; The following were found in the Sentinel morgue: 1922, 1924, • 1627-30, 1935-38, 1946 and 1951. The Woodstock Journal Files ; proved a valuable source for znany missing ones: 1932, 1933, i940 rnd 1948-50. The Elgin ** Courier-News provided 1952-55, and the 1966 box score came 'om the official book -kept by A1 Bohrer. The early ones were the hardest . to find, and Ralph Boyle, Crystal Lake Herald editor, found the 1920 and 1921 accounts. Only the first among all 37 is partially incomplete. Boyle also found the 1939 box score. Earl Walsh, MoHenry Plaindealer sports editor, discovered the elusive 1925^ box score. Ernest Stading, member of the 1934 Huntley champions, uncovered that memorable tourney's final box score. "Baggy Buhrow, who played on Crystal Lake's 1926 champs, brought that box score to light. Dan Horne, Harvard's athletic director, supplied the 1923 and 1944 ones. Owen Metcalf, Crystal" athletic director, who also helped in many ways, confirmed several box scores and supplied the original draft orr the 1931 account -- the year Harvard won its only title. Howard Judson, Hebron great and the only athlete to play on four championship teams, found the 1940 and 1942-43 box scores. Frank Hellstern, who kept score at Woodstock for many years, had earlier turned in the 1941 account. Ralph Dosher, Marengo coach, dusted off old scorebooks Clyde Rusk left behind and • found the account of Marengo's first championship in 1947. Leonard Mc- Cracken, McHenry's athletic director, supplied the 1945 box score, one of the four straight years the Warriors finished second. The book, which will have a two-color cover featuring a photo from the 1956 meet, will sell for 50 cents.» Mrs. William Karls and Mr. and Mrs. James Wegener of McHenry and Mrs. Leo Karls of Richmond attended the graduation from basic training of Pvt.

Karls at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., over the weekend REGIONAL CAGE TOURNAMENT AT CRYSTAL LAKE Games Siari Next Tuesday; McHenry Plays Wednesday The Regional Basketball Tournament will open next Tuesday night, Feb. 28, in Crystal Lake's spacious field house. ' Elgin, the large school of the group, will meet Grant in the first game. Woodstock, steamed up over a 1-point win over St. Edward's of Elgin this week, will meet the winner of the district meet. McHenry will meet the <•host team, Crystal Lake, at 7 o'clock Wednesday night. Dundee and Antioch complete «the pairings. In early speculation, Crystal Lake rates 9s a potentially great team. They breezed to the championship in the North Suburban league although sometimes extended by teams rated many points lower. All sports fans know that Dundee comes up to tournament time as a real contender. One observor says, "watch Antioch." Antioch had a standout team last year that' was broken jup by graduation. Their won and lost record is not impressive, but several ^ames were lost by very close margins. One never knows which way the ball will bounce and every town will be whooping it up for their favorites. Remember -- McHenry plays Wednesday night. Be there!
