Knowing that the Hebron highs had held the Woodstock boys to a 28 to 14 score and also knowing that their op­ ponents were of the "beefy" type, McHenry prepared for a hard tussle and were in the finest kind of shape for the contest. When the teams lined up it surely did look as if McHenry was in for a lot of hard work, but before many minutes had elapsed everyone present was satisfied that they could pick the winners, as McHenry began to pile up the scores so fast that the,score- heit." Mr. Nye: "Is that right?" Second freshie: "No sir. It is bear-o-meter." Chicago Herald of February 20, 1916: Rockford, 111., Feb. 19. (Spe­ cial.) Rockford, Freeport, McHenry and Waukegan are the favorites in the northern Illinois high school basket ball tournament, that opens here Thursday night and continues to Sat­ urday night to decide the representa­ tive of this distpifct in the state basket ball tournament.

The boys were right and that tells the whole story. They seemed to shoot ""baskets from any old angle and the way they passed that ball around was a real pleasure to watch. At intermission time it was found that McHenry was leading their op­ ponents 19 to 5. However, Hebron made a trifle better showing during the last half, when they registered eight points, while our boys tied their count made in the first stanza. Andrews, Hebron's center, proved the shining light for the home guards, while there wasn't any particular starring on our side, as every man on the team played splendid ball.

Watch Your Step, McHenry We notice by the Elgin Courier that the sporting department of that paper is very anxious to have the McHenry county basket ball championship de­ cided in that city. We don't blame El­ gin in the least, as it is bound to de­ velop into one of the biggest sport events of the winte^ season and nat­ urally would bring a big crowd of fans to that cxty. However, we be­ lieve that the citizens and fans of McHenry and Huntley are entitled to one game in each of the two towns and that it would be very unwise to take all of the games to a neutral floor. First of all the games are bound to be big moneymakers for the athletic associations of the two teams and, in view of the fact that the mon­ ey will come in quite handily in better­ ing the gymnasiums of the two towns, it surely would be a foolish thing for them to hire a neutral hall and let their own gymnasiums lie in idleness. Should both teams win one game, then in fairness to players as well as fans a neutral floor could be decided upon, but only with the understanding that the net door receipts be split equally between the two teams. The teams, we believe, would be willing to pay a fair rental for the use of neutral floor, and in that way it would give the followers of both teams an equal chance of taking in the deciding game. Now, boys, don't' bte foolish and let outsiders step in and take the "gravy." Getting In i^hape Coach Dorr has been busying him self this week in getting the high school basket ball team in shape for the basket ball tournament, which takes place at Rockford on Thursday Friday 'and Saturday of this week. The coach as well as the members of the team feel confident of making a creditable showing and with an even break of luck should stick until the semi-finals, at least. There is one thing certain and this is that the boy.- are game and refuse to be counted out until defeated by the best teams that have ottered the tournament ..Young-Man SOME TIME in the future Opportunity will knock at your door. In ten years from now there will be business chances just as there are today. And the men who command a little money will be the men who will step into these chances. Why don't YOU begin now to prepare for them? Why don't you lay aside every pos­ sible dollar, and leave it laid aside?
