TIGERS DROP WARRIORS TO THIRD PLACE Score 25.Points On Free Throws In 69-63 Victory By Gene Brooke A strong Crystal Lake team lived up to its "Tiger" name here Friday night beating our Warriors for the second straight time. There were some fans that didn't get to see the game because the admission doors were locked due to the biggest crowd in the .W&rrior gym this . year. This crowd came to see a tough battle for second place. It - was a tough battle -- being very close throughout most of the game. Then, midway in the last stanza, a Tiger named Bogers got hot and led his team to a decisive victory, 69-63. The Warriors fell behind early in the game and trailed by 5 points at the end of the first quarter. If Ken Laurence hadn't been on our team, the Warriors may , not have been in the game at all. Ken scored 6 of' our 10 points in the quarter and played excellent ball. Those Free Throws! The teams fought on even terms in the second stanza. It was in this period that Schenk began a spectacular demonstration on the art of free-throw shooting. He made 13 of 14 in the game, eight straight in this quarter. Again, it was Ken Laurence who led the Warriors. He added 6 points in this stanza. However, "Butch" Meyer, who played one of his finest games began to catch fire and added 5 points. Trailing by 5 peints going into the third period, the Warriors started to play their best the bowling scores this week, you will see a fancy 642 series for Ray Cynowa. You have to tend to your knit tin' to pile up that much wood. Morrie Crouch hit 242 in his third game to post a' neat 622 series. You will also see Bill Long's great scries of 626 < 200 or over all the way). The score sheet tells us that Bill carries a 168 average. Mast have found some magic. ball of the game. However, so did .Crystal Lake. The Tiger center, Bogers, began to rip the nets. With his team mates constantly feeding him, he drove around the Warrior dej fense and scored at will. Bogers, Mr. Jnside, and Schenck, Mr. Outside, of the Tiger attack led their team in this quarter with 8 points and 4 points respectively. While these two were hitting for Crystal Lake, "Butch" Meyer caught the crowd's fancy when he began to hit with his long outside shots. Butch had 10 points in the quarter. The last quarter was disastrous for McHenry. Bogers -- still leading the Tiger attack, dropped in 13 points and just about sin^lehandedly kept the ' game out of the Warrior's reach! Meyer and Laurence led the Warriors with 8 and 6 points each. The game ended with the Tigers on top, 69-63. "Batch" Meyer Leads McHenry's leading scorer for the evening was Meyer. He had 23 points. Laurence followed with 18. Bogers led the Tigers with 26 points, 22 of them in the second half. This was McHenry's last Conference game of the year. The Warriors finished in a tie for third place. The Warriors played some pretty good ball during the season and all must agree that a third place finish should be considered a fairly successful season. Now the Warriors start regional play. Guess who their first foe is? That's right -- Crystal Lake. While the Tigers now have quite a psychological edge over the Warriors, and are going to play on their own court, don't count our War riors out. They have the ability -- if they play up to it. They can beat the Tigers and perhaps win the Regional.

Hampered by a ice cold first half and possibly some tournament jitters, the Hurricanes of Marian were able to score only 18 points to Elgin's 28 before the gun sounded to end the first half. But, in the second half the Hurricanes came back with poise, determination and most of all desire and courage to come within one point of tying the game with 1.49 left in the last quarter, 43-42. The Hustling Hurricanes outscored the Maroons 24 to 20 in the second half and had the momentum swinging their way when Parker of Marian and Noonan of Elgin grappled for the ball at 1.25, and a jump ball was called by both referees but changed to an intentional foul by Parker when both boys fell to the floor, after the whistle was blown. Elgin then made ^ood on one of their two free throws and the score stood at 44-42 Elgin. Marian's effort to tie the score was nil and the Maroons went on to pick up four more points as the Hurricanes were forced to foul to try to gain control of the ball. Paul Nitz was high scorer for the Kame with 20, followed by Elgin's Wimpleberg with 15. In this reporter's opinion and the general opinion voiced by the many basketball fans attending the game, they the grades to be issued for this performance should read this way: "A" for Marian's nevergive- up desire and effort, and "A" for Elgin's fine team play and an "F" for failure on the part of Tony Torterollo and A1 Miller, the referees wlio choked up at the crucial point in the game (calling an intentional foul after both had signaled a jump ball at 1.25). This in my mind, was the turning point of the game and broke the backs of the Hurricanes. Without going into a long discussion on the merits of the quality of referee: ing in high school sports today, all I can say is that the high school athletes shouldn't be the only ones going to school.

Mc- Govern, National Little League President explains it: "Little League Baseball is a product of a happy, prosperous and free people who love their children and show pride in their every budding accomplishment. "Little League is a lesson in practical idealism. Its sights are high, its methods common sense. It is serious but yet full of fun. It is international in scope, but local as any fireside. It is proud and yet humble. "From the ranks of Little League - these hundreds of thousands of boys-who now stand on the morning side of the hill undoubtedly will become great ball players and many outstanding national leaders of the future. Though Little League is the basic platform under all of baseball, this is only a vehicle of magnetic appeal, but no part of the male boal. Properly operated at the local level. Little League will speak for itself as a top notch democratic youth movement which bespeaks discipline, builds spirit to win and inspires poise through physical well-being in millions of growing boys everywhere. This is Little League." More on Registration Don't forget registration night for McHenry's Little Leaguers. It will be held Thursday April 9th at 7 p.m. at the V.F.W. Clubhouse.

The Judge entered judgment on the verdict and pronounced sentence, after refusing to allow my motions for a new trial and in arrest of judgment, as is required by law before an appeal can be taken. 2. The Judge granted my motion for a stay of mittimus until May 29, 1964, so that my appeal can be perfected. 3. The case is appealed to the Appellate Court and then, if necessary, to the Supreme Court. It will probably take about two years before the final decision in the case is rendered. 4. No application for probation was made and none will be made unless and until the Supreme Court affirms the judgment of the lower court. 5. The appeal will be based on thip premises that the verdict is contrary to the law and the evidence and also that because of errors in the trial. I did not receive a fair trial and therefore I am entitled to a new trial. &• 6. Since 1934, I have practiced law in this area and I have been a Real Estate Broker since 1954.

Case Of The Bargaining Dealers When you trade in your used car on a new one, it is often the case that the dealer's work has only begun in the arduous business of disposing of your used model at a price that will leave him a profit on the whole transaction. As sometimes happens due to lack of storage space, or because he has too many of this particular model, or other reasons, a d e a l e r m u s t wholesale a used car to another I dealer. When this happens as might be imagined, quite a bit of price bargaining goes bn between buyer and seller, sometimes with a very humorous twist. This was the case recently when two dealers ended up arguing over a windshield with a pinhole in it that the buying dealer thought should be good for $50.00 off the price. "Come off it now." said the selling dealer. "You KNOW you wouldn't replace that windshield!" The buyer kept insisting he would and finally won out on the deal. The sale agreed upon, the selling dealer then treated the buyer to a coke from a nearby cooler. With the papers all signed and the transfer of titles comoleted, the selling dealer finished his drink and walked over to the windshield to examine it more closely. "It seems a shame," he said, "on account of such a little flaw. But since you're going to replace it anyway . . ." and he swung his empty bottle at the windshield and smashed it •completely.
