When the fourth quarter ended, the two teams were tied 23-23. This called for an overtime period of three minutes, in which time McHenry made one basket against two baskets of the Hebronites. Results were never certain in the game until the final gun crashed. The locals lacked the drive to get more than a few points ahead of their opponents at any time, which left them in continual danger of being caught or passed. The first basket was made by Hebron immediately after getting the ball. This was shortly followed by two-free throws sunk in by Jimmie Fay. After a race across the floor a few times Jimmie came in with a bang and chalked up a basket for the locals. Our boys then took time in for another ringer at about the middle of the quarter. The locals didn't allow Huntley to get scent of the basket in this quarter whatsoever keeping them on the offensive most of the time. As the first half closed the locals were leading the 6-2 score. Again as the third period began Red Fay dropped in another two points right under Huntley's nose. Joe Barbian and Jimmie Fay put across two free throws. Huntley nosed in one basket unexpectedly.' Jimmie Fay sprained his ankle at about half time of the third quarter and was replaced by Eddie Frett and Jimmie Geir at different times. Third quarter time found the locals leading a 10-4 score. Kinsala got going in the final period and sank in two baskets and one free throw for the glory of the Orange and Black. Huntley was enabled to gain on the locals in this quarter, because of the absence of Fay and Bob Conway the McHenry team's offensive was greately weakened. The results were quite favorable for the McHenry boys and as said befdre they carried home a 15-11 victory.

Red Fay scored two sensational long shots which raised the roof. Barbian dashed around and made another steller basket, which added to the excitement and cheering of the hundreds of fans.

She was "smilin' round the mouth, btit sort of teary around the lashes" when she thought of that hopeful, reminiscent group of cooks.--New York Sun. "Shut-ins" Not Dead to All Worldly Affafa The Woman visited a friend at a sanatorium the other day--one of those places in the country where they try to make convalescence bearable. She had to wait until she could see her friend, so she sat down on the porch. At the far end a group of women patients were talking with absorbed interest. The one in the wheel chair evidently had a great deal to tell. The Wornup the fighting spirit of .the few who j an wondered what it could be about, didn't seem to have any, and added I She knew the story of thos» particujust that much more to the zest and cheering of the fans who had been kept on their toes throughout the entiro half. Captain Conway brought in his 'Lion-Tamers" for what he hoped would be a sensational crash of the compromising score, as the third period was called into action by Referee Couchi. Jimmie Fay came to the front as usual and made a free throw awarded him. Hebron did the same and added a basket,, too. This tied the score at 17-17, and there it remained throughout the rest of the quarter. The fourth period found the boys still neck and neck with their opponents. The score was tied at 19-11), at 21-21, and at 23-23. Capt. Conway made one of his usual beautiful long shots that tied the two scores at 23- 23. Hebron made the first shot in this tense period of overtime playing. Jimmie Fay came around with basket for McHenry, which tied the score at 25-25. An unceasing struggle ensued, both teams on the other's neck. For awhile it looked as if Mc Henry was going to make the extra basket that would shift the victory to one team. However, some kind of jinx seemed to be on the trail of our boys and every attempt at the basket was foiled or rimmed out. With ten seconds of the three minute overtime period left to go the tied score still remained, but just in time to count, a Hebron boy sank the deciding basket. The final score was 27- 25. Notes On Gamo Bob Conway, one of the locals' best regular heavies, was unable to play on account of illness. Jo© Barbain, Jake Bylsma and Elmer Freund at various times filled his position. The lightweights played a curtain raiser which resulted in a 10-5 victory for Hebron. Because of illness of regular players, Smith, Thennes, and Phalin substituted on the lightweight Plaindealers at Bolgers McHenry-Huntley Game Coach Stringer brought his heavy weight troupe of cagers to his old home town Huntley last Saturday and walloped his old "Alma Mater" by a 15-11 score. The unique part of the first quarter was that no fouls were made on either teams; McHenry scored no points, Huntley made one basket right off the reel but didn't get a look at the rim again in the first quarter. Another thing was that for about half the time it looked is if a game of marbles wag going on instead of basketball. Red Fay and Joe Barbian each scored one basket in the beginning of the second quarter before Huntley knew what was going on. Red came John J.

Among them was a mirror. "Where did you get that?" asked the farmer, as he gazed Into It; "that picture of my father?" The traveler did not explain, but gave It to him as a souvenir, and It became his most cherished possession. Every day he looked at his "father's picture," and kept It carefully locked up, showing it to no one. But there catne a day when he left his keys behind, and his wife, who had long wondered what it was he kept so carefully, started rummaging and found the mirror.

That girl's a marvel!" "She's an easy creature to look at, also,** replied Charley. "I've known her for years." "Itlghto!" Then Dawson frowned. "There's something worrying me. The little simpleton has entered this fool contest for the world's best-locking and speediest typist, and I'm scared silly she'll win." "If she did," finished Charley, "she'd be snapped up by 'movie' men and the firm would lose Its brains." "You've said It," returned his friend gloomily. "But worse even than that, the girl would be utterly spoiled." "Pardon my Inquiry, but have yonder-- any personal interest in that matter?" asked Charley gently. "Certainly not!" retorted the other with apparent sincerity. "Pure altruism alone incites nie. If I could think of some scheme by which she could be kept from entering the finals, I would not hesitate to save her,froui herself." "You'd stop at nothing?", ;' --»"'Well, almost nothing!" "I've got It, then!" ad^ Parley slapped his knee. "You say your sister is at her place on Long Island? Well, listen, here!" An hour later, Lesbla Carroll looked up from her desk to see her employer striding towards her with an expression of determination on his face. Looking down into her blue eyes, "Are you still set on being in that contest?" he demanded. Lesbla tossed her curly bobbed head. "Certainly," she said. "Why not?" Now young Jimmy had not been al- I together sincere about his interest in Lesbla. In spite of himself, it was fast growing personal, but he would not recognize it if Lesbla persisted in advertising herself throughout the country. • Therefore, he now hedged somewhat in his reply. "There are many reasons, Miss Carroll. You are bound to lose interest in your work With us. And--and--oh, hang it--" Lesbla flushed. "Please, Mr. Dawson. Please!" "It's no use," he presently tele£ftioned Charley. "She will go Into the thing and with her looks and speed, site's bound to win. I'll get hold of my sister-- lucky they used to be old friends in school--and we'll carry out that little plan. Means I've got to get In a -ubMitute here, but It's worth the trouble. It's up to you to see that your arrival with Lesbla is quite too late for the final contest." Now to do Jimmy's sister Justice, she was not informed as to Just why Lesbia was sent to her for a week-end visit other than that Jimmy thought she needed a rest. But because she had been asked to Include Jimmy s old friend. Charley Underwood, In the house party, she suspected a love affair and managed to throw them into each other's company as much as possible. Therefore, upon that poor miih fell the duty of playing Machlavelll at the same time that he was supposed to be enacting the role of an ardent Romeo. And it was probably not the first time that a well-meaning friend cursed his well-meaning friendship for precipitating him Into unseen difficulties. On the morning when the final contest was to be held, Jimmy Dawson's cruiser swung slowly up the East river. Her owner was pacing the dock at which she was to land, and now and then he glanced nervously at his watch, while a few yards away, a taxlcab with its engine still running, quivered an the cobblestones. As the boat drew near, Jimmy went over to the top of the ladder which led down to the float and, as Lesbia started up, he reached down and grabbed her arm. "Hurry, Lesbla," he cried. "The contest was postponed until eleven, but we've only about fifteenno, thirteen minutes, In which to make it. Hurry!" But Lesbla seemed in no great haste, while Charley, now on the scene, was regarding Jimmy with an expression decidedly curious. "Hurry," said Jimmy. "Only twelve minutes I" "But I'm not going to enter !" cried Lesbla. "I know that Charley, for some reason or other, doesn't want me to. Ever since we left your sister's, he has been Inventing delays and Imagining that one thing after another was wrong with the boat. We've stopped twenty times on the way!" The* she slipped an arm through Charley's. "Mr.--er--Dawson, Charley and I--" she paused. "Sorry, old man," said Charley. "You see--we've gone and fallen in love and now she's won me, she doesn't seem to care about winning anything else!" Jimmy grabbed their hands. "Congratulations!" he said, and there was no doubting his sincerity. But later when the two men were alone, Charley could not refrain from Just one question. "How come. Jimmy, you made such a right-about-face about Lesbia's going In for that affair?" Jimmy looked sheepish. "I--I sort of lost Interest in what she did," he confessed. "And I didn't want it on my conscience that I'd stood in her way. I--I say, Charley, you ought to see the girl who's taking her place!

The locals have not only lost two battles to McHenry county teams, those were: Crystal Lake one game, and Hebron one game. Such a record makes the Orange and Black about the strongest contestant for the county crown this year. The McHenry county basketball tournament will be held at Marengo on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, March 3, 4, and 5. There will be eight schools entered this year namely McHenry, Crystal Lake, Harvard, Hebron, Huntley, Marengo, Richmond, and Woodstock. This tournarneiit has been an annual affair in this county for at least seven years. It has grown so that last year the receipts exceeded $1000. It not only brings the players from the different sections of the county but many fans as well. The officals, this year Principal Fred Briester of Glenn Ellyn and Mr. M. A. Sterling of Oak Park, are men who have not worked with any of the contesting teams. They are men of extensive experience and eome to us with a fine record. Both officiate quite often in the Big Seven Conference. When the drawings for the first series were made the pairings came out rather evenly matched.' They are as follows: * Huntley vs. Harvard Woodstock vs. Marengo McHenry vs. Crystal Lake Richmond vs. Hebron. These games will be played Thursday afternoon and evening.
