The Edward" Blakes and the George Millers ana the Green Street Walshes toured over to Woodstock to watch Marian High's basketball team play Notre Dame of Niles. To Say the least, it was a lively game. The visiting team started out like they owned the game and could win going away. When the battle (and we mean battle) was over, Marian had the game wrapped up 66 to 58. McHenry area players (Jim Doran's boys) are prominent in numbers and ability on the Marian teams. Nitz is their big man on points and rebounds. Jon Meyer is one of the sharpest passers we have seen, but doesn't shoot often enoUgh in our humble opinion. As we remember him in grade school, he could pop 'em through. Adams has a good eye. Frost is a husky fellow who can handle the job. Denny Jackson, a sophomore, looks like a real comer. Should hit great stride the next two years. And on the J.V. team, you will find a couple of Hesters. And, when you say the Hesters are a-comin', you can say there'll be shoo tin' tonight. We were more than a little bit happy to again have a chance to attend the annual Pitch. and Hit banquet at the Morrison Hotel Sunday night. McHenry was represented by Joe Etten, Fred Meyer, Don Doherty, Joe Gausden and Joe Frett (the guy who helped invent the game of baseball.) Of course, Nick Etten, the former Yankee fence buster was there. Nick is a charter member of the Pitch and Hit Club. Ball players who were guests of honor this year were: Tony Piet, Ira Hutchinson, Eddie Mathews, Dave Nicholson, ,|Billy Pierce, Dennis McLain and Dick Ellsworth. Glen Miller, whose White Sox farm system was listed on the program as the -most successful in the Majors in '63, was also given an award. Wally Phillips, <Jf radio and newspaper fame, was the toastmaster and the sharpest with a quip that we have ever heard. We haven't laughed like that in a long time. Met the Bud Browns Saturday night and conversation soon got around to their nephew, Denny Freund, who is a regular in the DePaul basketball team under Coach Ray Meyer. Denny has been a real good athlete since his very tender years when grandpa A. P. "Tony" Freund played catch with him. AMERICAN LEGION GRADE AGE CAGE MEET NEXT YEAR Thf egio: ie 12th annual American Legion basketball tournament for grade school boys wiJl be played Feb. 6, 7 and 8 in St. Mary's gym: With the defending - champion, St. Mary's, seeded no better than third, this years tournament promises to be a wide open, slam-bang affair. St. Patrick's with an outstanding record this year, including two close decisions over St. Mary's, must be accorded the favorite's-role: By hot on their heels with an impressive victory over them is McHenry Junior High. The latter also owns one win in two attempts over St. Mary's. Johnsburg Public may be the real dark-horse of the race, having come along well since early in the season. However, St. John's has strong hopes of despoiling that possibility in the first round. St. John's has displayed some fine basketball in losing tough games to both St. Patrick's and St. Mary's. Although Harrison may not be as strong as in some previous years, they may be lurking in the weeds. With Coach Chuck Cuda grooming some future sharpshooters there, they may take this occasion to , teach the other schools a lesson. Schedule: Game No. 1; Thurs., Feb. 6, 7 p.m. Harrison Vs.

Previous to last week's balmy breezes the Conservation Department was predicting . a severe winter kill of fish. The temporary thaw and rain melted the snow, which has since refrozen into good clear ice. Now that sunlight can get through to keep oxygen producing plants alive, many more fish will survive the winter. The Harvard Sportsman's Club will hold a "Big Trapshoot" this Sun.

Our hunch is that a great precentage of these ducks stayed in the Dakctas where there was little snow, open water, and corn on the ground until Christmas. A larger than usual flight drifted into Illinois Jan. 1 and left Jan. 11. Considering that the count was taken between Jan. 6 and 11, we would not be too optimistic about the terrific increase. However, the nationwide count showed the mallard population to be on the upswing.

Be A Safe Shooter THE NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION THEMcHENRY ZION FIVE SETS WARRIORS DOWN STANDM6S Kusch Scores 23 Points in 61-51 Setback Friday By Gene Brooke Earlier this year, McHenry beat Zion's basketball team on the Warriors' home court. With such a one-sided victory, most McHenry fans expected a McHenry victory when the tvvo met a second time last Friday night. However, the game ended with the Warriors ten points behind. Thus, McHenry received its fourth conference loss -- two full games behind the league leading Barrington team. With only half of the season left, the Warriors will play most of their games away. To end up. with a successful season they will have to play some tough ball and be -more consistent than they have been during the last few weeks. The Warriors out-scored Zion in only one quarter the first, 15-13. During this stanza it looked as though Fred Kusch was going to do all of the Warrior scoring. Of McHenry's 15 points, Kusch scored 11 of them on 5 baskets .and a free throw. Meyer and Mayfield each contributed a bucket to make our total of i 15. ! After being out-scored 16-9 in the second quarter, the Warriors came" back the second half trailing by 5 points. Again Kusch led the attack. Playing hard, Fred scored 9 of the Warriors' 16 points in the third period. While Kusch was doing this scoring, his teammates couldn't find the range. No oiher Warrior scored more than one field _goal except Butch Meyer and he had only two. The Warriors had plenty of opportunities at the charity line as they received 30 free throws. However, they only made 16 of them. Throughout the season, the McHenry boys have shot a poor percentage of their free throws. Improvement will be needed if they want to finish high in the conference. While the Warriors were fighting to pull the game out, the Zion team held on for their victory and played one of their better games. They scored 23 field goals and made 13 of 2o free throws. Smith, the boy that beat our McHenry football team this season with his spectacular 100 yd. run, contributed 18 points to lead the Zion scoring.

In Friday night's action the Hurricanes traveled to Boylan Catholic High School of Rockford and returned home with a 59-56 win in an evenly fought contest. The "Blue and Red" jumped off to a three point margin in the first quarter, leading 12-9 and held those three points for the remainder of the game, although Boylan did hold the lead at 40-39 with six minutes remaining in the game. Peter Parker, snapped the cords at 5:54 for a 41-40 Marian lead, and the Hurricanes were never headed after , ,. that.

Marian players found themselves on the short end of a 16-10 score at the end of the first quarter, but Coach Joe Gubbins made a lineup change of Jackson for Meyer and Frost for Adams and the "Blue and Red" went on to score 17-8 in the second quarter and command a half-time lead of 27-24.

How this can happen, even to a buyer who has some experience with the "tricks of the trade" in price shopping, was ill u s t r a t e d o n c e again recently in a case involving B a travell ing salesman. When this particular buyer received an allowance quote on his used car some $200 higher than competing dealers he was naturally pleased, though he suspected the figure might be a "highball." That's a fake high price allowance for his used car, offered in the hope of luring the shopper back to the dealer's premises after he has finished his shopping tour. Cautiously, he had the salesman put the offer in writing. He returned to the dealer some days later to pick up his new car after his price comparison tour convinced him that he was indeed getting a $200 "bargain." It turned out the salesman had made a "mistake.' T'he dealer couldn't possibly offer him that much, and, in any case, the offer hadn't been signed by " the proper authority, they were sorry to say. Meanwhile, our buyer had told his wife, friends and business associates how he had "saved" $200 by some smart bargaining. Caught in the embarrassment of his own story, he bought the car at a price sornewh&t higher than a reputable dealer had offered him, rather than confess he had been outsmarted.
