The ref was in good form and quick on the whistle. Warrior enthusiasm was running high. And they did foul (by standards of:modern day rules). The Second Quarter ft was in the second quarter when Ron Ford broke into scoring column and his two baskets were all that the McHenry five could get in that period. The' game was Jost right at this point, but of course was played out the regulation distance. After having 15 fouls called on them in the first half, the McHenry boys changed to a more deliberate style in the second half and got results. j In defense of" our home boys, it must be said that they were up against a couple of towering, big fellows in Smith and Cox. Smith handled himself smoothly for a lanky lad and turned in 22 points. Kastame was on the small side as basketball players measure today, but his floor play and 18 points would have looked good on our side. Well, that's enough for that game. There will be more games before this issue goes to press.

Christmas is the big tall tree in school, the only 'trio soma of the children cam call their own. It is the striped candy coma. It is the joyful music of chimes and church bells, the carols from the record shop, the spirit of the season that makes strangers friends. It is the garland and the candle in the window, the cards on the mantel, the wreath on the door, the mistletoe hung for Sis. It it sincerity in a handshake, the wishes of glad tidings, the vocal meaning in the hello from neighbors. Christmas is a light. A light that vanquishes darkness; the Ught of charity.

It was a good game from a spectator's standpoint and especially pleas.ng if you happened to hail from Woodstock as the Blue Streaks were the winners, 53 to 47. In this one the Warriors took full command at the start of the game and it looked like a sure victory. But, 7 and 11 point loads faded away as the Streaks hit a hot, streak to finish< the half with a 31-28 lead. ,, . ' --Look Sharp-** in. "the til i rd quarter, the VfarrlrrS 'looked sharp and took the lead 39-34 as the Streaks scored only three points--all on free throws. McHenry had taken command. But, came the fourth period and. like Finnegan, we were off again. The Woodstock team seemed to get a big lift when K. Gustafscn entered the ^ame in the second quarter and went on to score 14 points in addition to putting a crimp in a great scoring start b$r Ron Ford. Fans had it figured out that Crystal Lake and Hebron would meet in the finals. Many were picking the Lakers for the championship. Along came the Blue Streaks from Woodstock to beat the Lakers 63 to 60 in overtime Tuesday night. Now it's Hebron vs. Woodstock in the Wednesday night finals.

Thi3 name is not derived from the fact that they wander, however. Research experts say the first ones came to Greece about the end of the fourteenth century, A.D., and were given the name "Gypsies" because they were thought to be Egyptians.
