STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD By Dick Babbitt That's right fans, the Mun- delein Mustangs defeated our Warriors 64 to 57 last Tuesday night. Why the Mustangs wanted to travel on a snow packed highway, and blizzard conditions is anybody's guess. Conference rules state it is up to the visitors, if they want to travel then the game will be played. Somewhere, somehow, this |s a rule that should be changed immediately. The first quarter belonged to the Mustang's fine player Dim Hutchinson. All the young lad did, was to score 5 of the teams 6 baskets to give the visitors a 12 to 8 lead at the end of the period. Jeff Partenheimer and A1 Reinboldt were the only Warriors to score in the initial quarter. With Reinboldt in foul trouble, Don Bentz came off the bench to spark the Warriors during the second period, but the Mustangs hung in there and led at the intermission 32 to 24. Scott Dixon paced the Warrior third period attack, as six Warriors broke into the scoring column, but they couldn't overcome the Mustangs and trailed 48 to 38 going into the final eight minutes. Barry "Bear"Paulsen and Bentz with three baskets apiece in the final period brought the* game to a respectable margin, but the Warriors still trailed at the final gun 64 to 57. The Warriors looked a little better Tuesday than they had the previous week. Although they still had many turnovers, they did find some additional scoring help from Don Bentz and Barry Paulsen. Scott Dixon since taking the injured Steve Knox's place is gaining con­ fidence, and Tim Byers had three baskets plus several steals in the game.* The Warriors lost some rebounding strength when Reinboldt fouled out with 1:48 remaining in the third period.. Bentz's 14 pts led the locals, however Hutchinson of Mun- delein was the game's high scorer with 26 pts. The Warriors next game is Tuesday at 4 p.m. at Elgin where they play Gordon Tech of Chicago. To get to the Elgin fieldhouse take Rt. 31 to Rt. 62 at Algonquin. Take 62 to Rt. 25. Stay on Rt. 25 through Elgin until you reach Rt. 19 or Irving Park road. Turn left on Rt. 19 and go about 2 miles and you will see the high school on your right. ^ BOXSCORE Soph Five Wins From Mundelein 50 To 47 Jim Johnson added 10 to the cause. BOXSCORE 1 B i l l B l a n k e n h o r n ' s Sophomore cagers held off a last quarter rally by the Mundelein sophomores to win a thriller 50 to 47. Going into the final period the young Warriors enjoyed a comofrtable 44 to 30 margin, but the young Mustangs put cm a rally that just fell short in the closing seconds to give the young men from McHenry a victory. Tony Sroka and Chris Dixon with 14 and 12 pts respectively led the young Warrior attack. EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT! BEER BATTER 50 PERCH LARGE SALAD BAR INCLUDED INDIAN MANOR RESTAURANT ft LOUNGE S.

HAVE A HAPPY HOLIDAY Recent recollections of people and business places in West McHenry (Gage, Town) and Riverside Drive (Old Town), brought questions like, "How about Green St.?" Of course, the reference is to Centerville. Yep. How about it? Dr. Wells had an office and house where the McHenry State Bank is now located. An Old Timer once told me that the Micks came to town from Irish Prairie to attend Mass on Sunday, then stopped to see the some pain or The story was that the good doctbr had a special bottle from which he poured a drop and sent the patient away Vcured". Barbian Bros, manufactured choice cigars on the opposite corner where they ..now sell jewelry. - \ Jacob Justen & Sons had a furniture. store find un­ dertaker's parlor. Nick Petesch owned the drug store next door, now Bolger's. There were wood sidewalks. Justens made it comfortable with benches outside. The Pries grocery and meat market was on the opposite corner. The Opera House was upstairs and a man named Gracy showed good western pictures long before talkies. The Flora DeVoss troupe also put on plays in the Opera House. Who can ever forget sweet, little Miss Ethel Jones in the Agatha Gift shop. John Heimer had a popular saloon in the building later occupied as the Regner meat market. An addition to the building (to the south) was where McGee and Conway first opened a store for men. Ernie Buch had a plumbing shop at the same location one time. Math Niesen operated a grocery store where greeting cards and gifts are now sold. John Brda had a tin shop where the Top Deck restaurant and tavern is now located. Vycital's hardware store was there when I was a boy. At one time they sold candy, valen­ tines and such items. You could buy Ave paper wrapped candy kisses for a penny. Before a building stood where Smitty's Barber Shop is now located they used to have tent shows in the summer months. We saw the Katzenjammer Kids there. Plenty of laughs. Lory Edinger ran a saloon where the Brouhaha dress shop is now located. Woodstock went "dry" one time and all the boys came over to Lory's to wet their whistles. Charlie Frett had a meat market where the St. Regis Pub now holds forth. Later Lee Kercher and John Dreymiller building, lien it waslSlBlace where good friends met* Emil Geier ran a pool room in the basement of a frame building that burned to the ground. The Walter C^rey building later emerged to house Carey Electric, McGee's and Smith Bros. Charlie Unti's ice cream factory came along later. 'Twas said the building was constructed like Fort Knox. It will stand forever. < Come to think of it, the Untis had an ice cream parlor where McHenry Drapery and Carpet Co., is now located. The natives thought it was a crazy idea to try to sell ice cream in the winter time. The Empire Theater fur­ nished entertainment before fire struck. John and Mattie Smith were the operators. Mattie played the piano to add color to those silent films. Will Stoffel had a farm, machinery business. Off to the west was the old Mill Pond and Mill Dam, a real beauty spot. Almost forgot the John Lodtz tailor shop on Elm St., just east of Green. The old, frame City Hall was the scene of some hot basketball games. -- ' %r • Fred and Huppy Schoewer's father was a highly respected blacksmith at the Northeast corner of Green St., and' Waukegan road. Small homes were taken away when East Campus school was built. Anybody remember John and Mikie Purcell? Mikie was a great violinist without knowing a musical note. V 1'- ...

STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD So there is Centerville near as I can remember. as I was a West Side "Over- creeker" and didn't dare cross Boone Creek without having a gang with me. Our little Marlene is a coy one. Just finished my Christ­ mas column for the first issue this week and had to knock this one off for the Friday issue. ' Now for the bomb. She posts a memo reminding us that because next Monday is a holiday it will be necessary to write another column and have it in by Friday. Happy holidays! So--ay ay we go. It won't do a bit of harm to again wish you a Merry Christmas. Let's all try to make somebody else happy. It will do us a world of good. Since 1885 the Salvation Army has been providing assistance in the Chicago area to the needy and the troubled. Yet; the Salvation Artny's influence extends far beyond the confines of the United States. Established in 1865 in London, England, , the organization's hand of friend­ ship currently reaches 82 lands. One *Christmas a year is wonderful. More than one would be too much. But, if the joyous spirit lingers on, it will be beautiful. SPORTS COPY DOS AND POUTS Please type or hsvs somebody type for you. Double space.
