Thursday, March 10/195S T£IE MCHENRY £LAINDEALER •. 4M VI'. r Psge Three WaJkh, vjsua- • >mmST* Thought you had enough of "Muggs." We did. Now our three readers complain that we never mention him anymore. What can we say about ihim that -tfe haven't said before? Unless to report that he is now running a tea room. Those "in the know tell us that "Muggs" gets a lot of mileage out of each tea bag. Hangs 'em up to dry. We heard one about Shirley Conway. Seems she was delayed in getting home one night recently. No. It wasn't a case of running otil of gas. "The bell carac off the carburetor." Down Palace way they are talking about a 636 series bowled by Don Weingart. Games went like this: 225-223-188. Another score worthy of special mention is a 255 game rolled by Carl Behnke. *n»ey had a big time at the Bowling Bar last Saturday when two of the country's top bowlers, Ed Kowallcs and Paul Krumske, appeared and gave some good advice on how to hit those pins. Most of the bowlers failed to hit their real stride, but did pick up pointers that will help in the future. ** Kowalics was up there with games of 214-190-196-199. Krumske found the range in his last game: 180-173-192-222. Liocal bowlers were Les Meusling, Norb Smith, Vernon Freund, Joe Worm and Bob Brand. Vern's 188 was tops in this group so we will hold off their scores until they can short us their real stride. McHenry county fans are pleased to learn that Paul Judson was chosen most valuable on the Illini basketball team. He was also chosen as captain for next year and named on the second team of conference allstars. Quite a • few honors for one year, but well deserved. These 4-way stop crossings must be all in the point of view. We can smile at the first driver that takes our turn, tolerate the second one, but blamed if we aren't disagreeable when that I third one sneaks through froih way back. Don Schaefer, Main street butcher, says he finds something to read on the sport pages now that baseball has started in the training camps. You can bet that Don puts the White Sox news on the top of his list. Too bad Bill Bolger didn't start scouting for the White Sox sooner. See where one of his namesakes is with the Cubs and billed as a big-leaguer. PICKUPS: Television has certainly done things to people. We heard of a friend who turned his radio on by mistake and thought he'd gone blind. 0 We know this about the speed of light: it gets here too early in the morning. An optomist is a middle-aged man who believes that the cleaners 'have been shrinking the waistband of his pants. Politics make strange bedfellows, but they soon get accustomed to the same bunk. gest kick out of the smallest teams in the Forester basketball tournament. Those little fellows give it all they have and the fans love 'em. The entertainment acts last Sunday night were top phelf. The performers were evepy bit as good as advance notice claimed. There is never a dull moment. The Carl Weber family strikes up a tune every time a luU comes along. Tfcey can play old songs or new songs and you ¥ind yourself absorbed in the tunes. Next Sunday is the wind-up and, of course, the time for the big show of the tournament. If you haven't attended, be sure to get there Sunday. The evening program will be something to remember. DAILY PINUPS: Getting along with others may get you there faster than getting ahead of them. Courage is the cast-iron quality that never questions * it's chances. > Sitting on the rig<ht perch could possibly give , you a new angle. In thej battle of wits it could become a two-way stretch. Floor show: Fido's footprints. Anonymous Northern Illini Bowmen News Most fans are getting the big- The Illinois Archery association held their first convention and banquet at the Leland hotel at Aurora on Sunday, March 6. More than 21 clubs were present for the 10 o'clock business session. A delegate meeting was held with Jay Crick and Irene Adams of McHenry acting as representatives for the Northern Illini Bowmen. Discussion of league formation was an important issue. At 1 o'clock, dinner was served in the Sky Room with a large crowd present. The speaker was tihe Hon. Otis Bersing, game manager of the Wisconsin Conservation department. The highlight of tne day was the presentation of the Guy McMinimy Big Game awards. Hal Kalbe of Waukegan presented a plaque to Mrs. Guy Mc- Minfmy in memory of her late husband's many years of promoting archery. Duke Adam& was awarded one of these pins as well as an additional silver arrow pin. Others receiving double awards were Walter Rueger of Palatine, Ernest Stulter of Chicago, Don Schrom of Forest Park and Robert Dykstra of Rockford.

FORESTER BASKETBALL RHUS NEXT SUNDAY; THIS IS YOUR LIFE PROGRAM STAGED AT I Pit HERE IS HOW THEY FINISHED IN NORTH SUBURBAN LEAGUE Barrington finished first in the North Suburban basketball league which closed the past week. The Broncs hadn't been beaten since joining the league until the Woodstock Streaks turned the trick to break the winning streak at 40 straight. Rating second in upsets of the year was McHenry's victory over Crystal Lake, a team that had been beaten only by Barrington.

Finals will be played next Sunday and an impressive program will follow in the evening. Let's take a gander at last Sunday's games. First to trot out were the Juniors. St. John's took St. Mary's out of the race in this one, 24 to 15. . The Rangers followed and St. Gregory boys put on a last quarter dash to forge ahead 34 to 23. St. John Seniors had no trouble in beating St. Nicholas 70 to 44. The winners are a standout team in the tourna ment with plenty of bench strength. Lineup changes can be made without making too much difference. St. Mary's second Junior team gave it a hard try, but lost to St. Gregory 21 to 17. The fans enjoyed the scrappy play in*this game although the scoring was low. For the evening schedule, St. John Seniors had to come back for their second game of the day. With a very nifty passing game, the Johnsburg team pulled away in the last half to a 68-43 victory. There was quite a bit Of weight on the floor in the final game, properly billed as a "Heavies" contest. This one went to Johnsburg over McHenry, 58' 43.

Busch 2 0 2 The McHenry Warriors hung up their basketball shoes after a 67 to 42 defeat at the hands of Antioch in the regional tournament at Elgin last Wednesday night. The Warriors must have surprised everyone present as they matched points and possibly outplayed Antioch (n the first quarter. Jo(hn Huff drove through the Antioch defense to sink the first basket of the game. Greg Novak then took a hand and sank a couple of nice shots from the spot where he is most effective. The whole team pepped up and the favored Antioch five had a scrap on their hands. The Warriors then made mistakes. Sfhooting from too far out lost the ball and set up points for the opposition. Allowing sharpshooter Haviland to get set on shots was another costly error. The red head is sharp. The winners showed a wellbalanced team that forged ahead in the last half. Dick Joosten scored 19 points in spite of being well-covered. Free throw percentage raised its ugly head against McHenry as Antioch hit the nets for 19 out of 24 shots.
