nnFoor Thursday, j$q £CLH£* WO&AJL. "AJQr- Bhectft"^ It was a long distance call and tile man identified himself as a teammate of Chuck Wagner, a top flight bowler who will appear at the Johnsburg Bowling Resort next Saturday afternoon. ~VThe man talked and talked, but lite was paying the phone bill so who were we to stop him. Anyhow, he had a nice, pleasing voice and had a lot of good things to say About his teammate. These fellows bowl on the fam- OUs Hamm's five in Chicago and have been at the* head of their class three years in a row. We learn that Chuck Wagner is not a pro. He is busily occupied in sales work, but has worked like all get out to make a bowler of himself. You see, he is not a husky type who can mow those pins down With brute strength. -- PALACE -- City- Long, 201-202-560; Varese, 204- 530; M. Budler, 203; B. Reid, 525; Cristy, Sr., 222-567; J. Rogers, 225; Hagberg, 211-526; R. Homo, 202; C. Keim, 540; R. Rode, 221-590. The man says Wagner stands fcbout 5'8" and weighs only 134 pounds. That is part of the wonder of his spectacular success. So, next Saturday December 22, between the hours of 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., Wagner will give bowlers an exhibition of bowling and add instructions. There will be no charge to the public.

Wagner has been with the same team lineup the past four years and in 1954 the boys were the 5- man champs in the American Bowling Congress with a 3226 total, the second highest in U.S. history for this event. Wagner, now 29 years old, started bowling when a mere slip of a lad in St. George High School ,in Evanston and has one of the sWeepingest hooks in the game. He has bowled two 300 games which were sanctioned and a few others just in the day's pasttime. His highest league average is 209 and during five years of league bowling he has an average a shade over 200. All we know is what the man with the pleasing, enthusiastic voice told us over Mr. Bell's long distance lines. The report was as smooth and as sparkling as the product advertised on their shirts so we said we would give it a cpuple of lines. Guess We (fid.

We would like nothing better than to console them after the game. .. Give those town team basketball players a look. They are craning up in good style.

We hope that each of you will : find some blessing in your life to bring happiness in this Holy Season of Christmas. FROSH-SOPH TEAM WIN EASILY OVER HEBRON FIVE 37-23 McHenry's Frosh-Soph cagers had little or no trouble trouncing Hebron 37 to 23. Coach Cuda had a good chance to use his entire bench in this one or the score might have been spread far greater. The game was even in the first quarter, but McHenry pulled away from that point with plenty to spare. HARDEST BUSIEST CHEAPBiS'l WORKERS IN TOWN PLAEVDKAiER WANT ADS TTie McHenry Legion "B" team handily beat the Woodstock five Sunday evening 53 to 31 while the "A" team lost to a strong aggregation from Antioch 61 to 55. The first game of the evening saw Woodstock take the lead at the end of the first quarter 13-11 with T. Sorensen of Woodstock pacing their attack with 8 points and Bob O'Brien holding the "B" team together with 6 points. The second quarter proved to be all McHenry with Bob Miller flashing some of the form that made him a star with the 1949- 50 high school varsity. Miller dropped in five buckets and two free throws for a total of 12 points, while he and his teammates put on a defensive show that yielded Woodstock only 2 points. At the half, the score read McHenry 28 and Woodstock 15. v A nip and tuck third quarter ended with McHenry outscoring Woodstock 14-12, with points distributed evenly among players on both sides. The fourth quarter again was McHenry's 11-4 with "Butch" Npvak taking over as play-maker from Les Olsen who turned in another fine job at his guard post. Credit for the control of the backgrounds goes to Jim Kennebeck and Chuck Pierce who time after time again showed that the big boys are in there where best needed. A word must be said about Woodstock's T. Sorensen who was their high point man. Sorensen stepped to the free throw line, seven times and sank seven free throws, along with his 4 baskets which gave him a total of 15 points, second to Bob Miller's high of 19 points. Antioch Classy In the second g*ame a tall, classy Antioch team bested McHenry's "A" team by six points 61-55, which turned out- to be the difference in score at the end of the first quarter 14-8. Antioch's balanced attack outshown McHenry's inability to hit for the score in that quarter. Stan Aim's six points in the second quarter Enabled McHenry to come within scoring one point of Antioch's total of 14 for the quarter. At the half the score read Antioch 28 - McHenry 21. The third quarter was a high scoring affair with McCulla and Wright dumping in six points apiece and Antioch's Quilty hitting for 8 points. This quarter also saw Wright go out on fouls and McCulla playing a loose game because of 4 fouls totaled against him. The fourth quarter was an even scoring affair witrf both teams scoring 14 points. McCulla went out on fouls and Art Ericksen replaced him and brought McHenry within 2 points of Antioch with 55 seconds to play. A long pass by Antioch and a basket increased the lead by 4 points and another basket after a scramble for possession iced the game for them. The McHenry guards, Hiller and Aim, hit with regularity from out, as shown by their 17 and 14 points respectively, but Antioch's balanced attack with Baird's 16 points and Quilty's 12 points wrapped up the game. There will be a game this Sunday evening Dec. 23, opponents being Crystal Lake and Fox Lake, first game starting at 7:30 pjn.

Coming up from a 4-point deficit in the first period, the Warriors held the edge in scoring in each quarter'the rest of the way. Kuhlman's 17 points were tops in scoring and kept Lake Forest close all the way. McHenry's Frosh-Soph team held an 18 to 15 edge at half time, but were outscored 20 to 7 in the third period to bring about a 46 to 39 defeat at the hands of Lake Forests' young squad. THE GREEN GIANTS OF HEBRON DEFEAT WARRIORS 57 TO 55 Those green-clad boys from Hebron are coming back as Giants again this year as McHenry can well testify after losing a rousing basketball game to them on our home floor Tuesday night, 57 to 55. A little fireball named John Sime put the kibosh on our Warriors in the final seconds with a neatly executed plan. Jim Justen had sunk a free throw to tie the game at 55 points when Sime gained possession of the ball, turned to look at "the clock and saw less than 30 seconds remaining. Instead of going for a long shot, the little general drove in close and Sank his game-winning shot after running the clock right downvto the finish. This time McHenry had the free throws working for; them and made:8 out cpfvlO in the first quarter to gain a 6 point lead while Hebron failed to cash in on 4 chances. McHenry gained ,10 points on free throws in the game. Zimmerman came intp the game in the second quarter to spark Hebron with 6 points and draw close (32-29) .at half time. Jim Huemann's 20 points were high for the game, closely followed by Sime's 18. Conway, McMahon and Eichinger each had 10 points wh|le Justen, covered by the mammoth 'Ken Schulz, was held to 5. Gary Shulz was' the long shot artist;'sinking 6 swishers. Close observer^'probably picked out reasons w£y( McHenry lost this one, but will have to conclude that Hebron came to town with a pretty good basketball team. J. Creighton Cajthamel Cecich, ..

Hardly any northerns have been caught around here as yet. This year the limit is one. We took a little jaunt into Wisconsin Sunday. We managed to get four nice walleyes. One fellow caught four northerns and a wall eye on regular bluegill rods. He lost 13 fish besides the ones he landed. If he would have had some good tipups he probably would have had more nice fish. Chances are, he will invest in some before he goes fishing again. . Last week-end the-'channels on Fox Lake produced some nice fish, the majority being bluegills. We have been asked about the ice St Lake Geneva and as far as we know Lake Geneva is still open water. It really has to be told to freeze that lake. Bill Ahrens of McHenry and six fellows from Waukegan, formed a party and went down to Horseshoe Lake to hunt geese. They stayed at the Bee Line Club, which is'very reasonable, at Miller City, 111. The Horseshoe Lake Refuge is blocked off by boundaries. These Are usually roads. The hunting is done mostly in cornfields, where pit blinds are rented by the day. Callers can also be hired and Bill says these boys use their own voices, not a "store bought" call and really know how to talk to geese. When Bill and his friends went down, there were 90,000 geese and 200,000 ducks ii) the Horseshoe. Lake area. He said, wYou have to see it to believe it." Every member of the party got his limit of four geese for the two days they hunted. Twenty-eight geese in two days is good shooting. We doubt if that many geese are killed around here in a year. The McHenry Sportsman's Club will hold a prize trap shoot at their club house the 23rd of December. The shoot starts at 1:00 p.m. OJLD" Chippewa Shirts Barometers Compasses j Chippewa Jackets Hunting Supplies Dopp Travel Kits Wishing Supplies for "SIS" Marionettes Dolls & Supplies Schwann Bicycles Games - Toys Johnson Ice Skates Dishes (Plastic - Whistle) Electric Mix Masters for "MOM" Chippewa Jackets Outdoor Furniture Bar-B-Q Equipment Chippewa Skirts Samsomfte Luggage Deerskin Gloves Deerskin Purses for BROTHER Schwinn Bicycles Trains & Supplies Trucks 8c Cars Hobby Supplies Guns 8c Holsters Hockey Skates Archery Equip.

CHRISTMAS EVERYWHERE There are many ways of presenting "Christmas Around the World," but members of Alpha Theta chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma personalized the theme at the Florence Colby home in Crystal Lake at their December meeting by bringing beautiful curios to supplement the narratives of customs in other lands. Musical toys came from Wales and Germany; Scotch heather and a Scotch calendar are sent yearly to one club member. Among other items shown- were a Mexican pinata, Chinese good luck New Year's charms, Australian boomerang, English Tobey jug and tapers,"oriental curios and Scandinavian, straw figures. --• THURS.
