' rWl" y 25 % THE McHENHY PLABTDEALER V< MISS After watching lo these many years, we have come to many conclusions. One of them is that too much attention, spotlight and blame is tossed at the officials. The following observation by Ken Loffler (Prentice-Hall) is a masterpiece: "I think that I shall never see A satisfactory referee, o About whose, head a halo shines. Whose merit i ates reporters' lines One who .calls them as they are,- And not as 1 would wish by far . A gent who leans not either way, But lets the boys decide the play, A man who knows the rules by heart, And uses Judgement from the start, Poems are made by fools like me, But only God could referee." ^Bea Meath has been burning up the Palace alleys with scores that rate special mention. Bowling with the Monday Night Ladies, Bea turned in a remarkable 167- 200-213-580 neries, then came back with a 558 series which featured a 225 game. That's bowling! Hellzapoppin at the local post office since those pictures came out last week. It seems they have clferks, known as the inside, men, who played some part in handling that big Christmas rush. ^Vhile our department covers sports activities, some of the in2 dignation ,of the forgotten men have been channeled through our corner. We must admit that it has been sport listening to and reading some of the complaints. Tain't right! All that glory going to the outside men. But, cheer up boys. We are sure that old Santa Claus must have noted your fine work and will be planning from now until next Christmas for your reward. Gene Piotrowski would like to have you know that the McHenry Rifle Club would like to have &ome new members and would also like to have the present members attend meetings every Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock. They enjoy real sport in this club. The Warriors showed rare -form Friday night in beating Libertyville 87 to 57. Everybody could that night. The following night at Crystal , Lake found the same team start strong, hit a cold spell, then bounce back to all but pull an upset. Now, let's 3ee what the schedule says. Friday night we travel to Woodstock. We have to Win that one. ft THE GREAT OUTDOORS By Jack Walsh Law enforcement officers of the Illinois Department of Conservation obtained 1929 convictions which carried fines totaling $54,271.20 during 1955. Of the total, 1492 were for Game Code violations and 437 for infractions of the Fish Code. Here is a breakdown of the major violations: Assembled or unca&ed gun in ear, 345. Hunting without a license, 178. Hunting without permission, 141. Hunting or shooting on highways, 102. Illegal possession of game, 98. Hunting rabbits out of season, 67. Possession of hen pheasants, 27. Hunting pheasants out of season, 25. Hunting squirrels out of season, 23. Fishing without a license, 278. Director Palmer of the Depart* ment of Conservation says that conservation meetings have paid off ... c, Last week we mentioned a letter from Charles Schaefer of Wonder Lake. Mr. Schaefer informs us that he does a lot of hunting and fishing. He has collected a small volume of interesting facts about animal life. Mr. Schaefer wondered if we might like to print some of these facts every week aS a sort of added feature. He has enough of these articles to last about a year. The following items are from his collection: The life span of a crab is twenty years; of a leach, twenty yea^s; of a spider, ten to fifteen years. Many birds have a poor sense of smell. The buzzard depends almost entirely on sight to locate his special diet and the horned owls favorite dinner is skunk. (Editor's note: Whew!) It is said that the mullet is the only fish rich enough to fry in its own fat. Next Tuesday night we travel to.. Hebron for a non-conference gaihe. We should win that one. A week from Friday Lake Forest comes to McHenry. We know their style. Let's beat 'em. DAILY PINUPS: ^ He who makes no mistakes is merely meandering; he who makes too many may miss the boat. Living in a lighter vein is an arterial hignway to happiness. 'Being afraid of success is being foolish; being too sure of success is presumptious.

The Warrior were off and wingin' in the first quarter, then eased of to end the half with a slim 31 to 30 lead. Libertyville stayed close irf the first half by sinking 12 out of 16 free throw tries.

A fourth quarter let down lost the Frosh-Soph game to Libertyville last Friday night, 52 to 48. The home boys scored only 5 points in the final period.

Some were not in long enough to run up many points, but everybody was in on the act. * The McHenry boys scored 56 points in the second half as shots went through the net from all angles. Only 6 of those 56. points were counted on free throws. So you see there was some fancy shootin' going on around the old corral. John Huff scored 23 points and Art Beck 16 before giving way to their replacements. Wellwerts left the game late on fouls, but his loss was greatly felt by the losers. felt by the losers. •, Improved Passing Perhaps the real factor that led up to victory was the improved brand of passing shown by the Warriors. They zipped that ball around. The game was on the rough side in the last four minutes as both teams ran subs into the fray. With Hogan in the game there is always added life. The opposing team threw a couple of beautiful blocks into John, but he was rugged enough to take everything they threw at him. Being the man to bring the ball down the floor, John was naturally the target. Gardner came into the game for ^he visitors in the last half and let fly from any distance whenever he gained possession of the ball. His percentage may not have been startling, but those 5 baskets and 1 free throw were all that kept his team in the game. This was far and away the sharpest shooting and beat passing shown by the Warriors this season.
