WRESTLING Your sports page proudly presents the above picture of the MGHS wrestling team of 1956 and a review of the record for the year. The sport or' wrestling has come a long way in our loaal high school under the outstanding leadership and example of Coach Wheeland, known to his close friends as "Buck". Physical development of these well-muscSed young men is well known. But, beyond this phase of the training is a less known and too seldom publicized fact that the fine conduct of members of Che t^am both at home and in their travels to other schools has reached your reporter's ears from sources outside of our school circle. The team has a 7-4 record for the season and placed second in the North Suburban conference^ Meeting high class competition in the Palatine Invitational tournament, the McHenry team took third p&ace. , Jeff Moss and Paul Jessup won The cheer leaders had a neat • little cheer for the unsung heroes on the bench. We liked it. Did you notice during one time out tlh)at the Weber girls played van old favorite--"Stumbling All Around" ? No reference to the ' teams, we are sure. The entertainment, all local tal- * ent, went over big. More coming. So many sports stories to get out this week that this corner has to be cut short. See you next week. WARRIORS LOSE TO ZION 78 TO 71 M FINAL GAME OF '56 In a high scoring game, the highly favored < Zion-Benton basketball team edged theJMcHenry Warrior varsity last Friday night 78 to 71 on the Z-B floor. McHenry held the Zion team to a tie in the first half and also played them to a standstill in the last quarter. It was in the third period that they lost the edge. Ron Daniels, leading scorer iii the conference, scored 30 points to lead the way. Bernie Schmitt's 18 points led McHenry as scoring was well spread over the entire lineup. McHenry lost four regulars on fouls and lost the game on free throws. A look at the final tabulation shows McHenry outscoring Zion 30 to 27 on number of field goals. McHenry's 23 fouls gave Zion 24 points from the free throw line and that was the ball game.

St. Mafy's Junior No. 2 team was too small for the Saicred Heart boys from Qrayslake and lost by a 35 to 18 score. St, Gregory Juniors of Chicago gained an ed§e in the third quarter to beat St. Benedict of Peru 32 to 25- Johnsburg's Heavies had a good spread of scoring over their lineup to beat O.L.G.C. of Aurora 74'to 55. Jim Schaefer of Aurora sank 9 field goals and T free thrown in a great effort that fell sh<ftt. Phillips ^ored 27 points and Pickert 22 as St. Nicholas of Aurora swamped xSt. Benedict Seniors 71 to 31. In the first game of the evening, St. Mary's No. 1' juniors had an easy time beating Johnsburg 50 to 2S. Steinbach's 20 points led the way, followed by Aldson's 13. Mike Low to($i|.the fancy of the crowd with 5 neat baskets. Bill Oeffling was another crowd pleaser and Hettep mann was sharp when he came into the game in the last quarter. The big pow-wow of the day came when McHenry Heavies beat the Peter and Paul five of Virgil 52 to 51. A last second basket by Jim Busch, which ' the officials ruled had left his hand before the buzzer sounded, caused a big protest. The schedule for next Sunday is as follows: 1 p.m., Rangers, St. Mary's No. 2, McHenry vs. St. Gregory, Chicago. 2 p.m., Seniors, St. John's, Johnsburg vs. St. Gregory, Chicago. 3 p.m., Juniors, Canadian, Kankakee vs. St. Mary's No. 1, McHenry. 4 p.m:, Juniors, Sacred Heart, Grayslake vs. St. Gregory, Chicago. -- 7 p.m., Rangers, St. John's, Johnsburg vs. St. Mary's No. 1, McHenry. 9 p.m., Seniors, St. Mary's, McHenry vs. winner of 2 p,m. game.

Illinois Conservation Director, Glen,- D. PaliAer, said that the i fact so much money and effort | has been spent in getting record flocks through the winter on the, | state's big refuge areas "makes jit even more importknt that we I-give the ducks and geese reason- I ably safe passage north to the i nesting grounds." , | Ducks and geese do not follow any organized pattern on the northward flight, partly because spring runoff and rains usually provide countless potholes' that were not present during the fall. The birds tend to spread out in the spring in contrast to following major water routes southward in the fall, according to biological studies made by the Department of Conservation. There are two types of crappies. The white crappie and the black crappie! To distinquish one from the other just remember that the white crappie has six spines on its back and the 'black crappie has seven and sometimes eight. An electric ray fish weighing 20 lbs. can discharge enough electricity to knock a man down. Local ice fishing hasn't picked up at all. A few northerns are I being caught near Hillside Estates, j They only run about 2 or 3 lbs. j though. It seems that a fellow i has to be at the right spot at the right time or he is out of luck. 0 YOUR COPY OF COUNTY CAGE SSCS REM -- McHenry Recreation -- D. of A. -- E. Albright, 451; E. Nell, 442. Distribution or "County Cage Classics" starts Thursday (March 1) and the athletic departments of all county high schools should have copies by Friday. Athletic directors and basketball coaches are handling local distribution in each community. Main features of the brochure are 36 photographs, including three pajges devoted to the 1956 tourney: box scores of each of the 37 championship classics; and feature stories by coaches and players who have been associated with the meet. Digging up the final box scores was a major task, Peasley said, and only one (1920) is incomplete. Enthusiastic cooperation by many persons mad} it possible to get authentic cham/pLons<hip boxes. Paul Judson, captain of this year's IF.ini and memlber of the 1952 Heforon state champs, has contributed a warm article telling how playing in games such as the tourney helped prepare him for his present activities with the titleminded Big Ten leaders. 1 NORTH SUBURBAN STANDINGS Business Men -- J.
