COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS MCHENRY HIGHS LOSE OPENER Wawrwidn Has Easy Time Downing McHenry Quintet , The basket ball season was officially opened at the McHenry public school gymnasium last Friday evening, when the locals were pitted against the strong Wauconda township high school basket ball five. The visitors, most of whom are putting in their fourth year with the team, outclassed the home players in every department of the game and as a result McHenry hadn't a ghost of a show of even putting up a cred itable showing, to say nothing of winning. However, in the face of these odds, our midgets worked hard thruout the entire contest and were indeed lucky to keep the score of the visitors down as low as they did. Wauconda has a team which has been playing together for four years while McHenry's outfit is compara tively new to the game, and, taking this as well as the fact that the vis itors were a great deal heavier team into consideration, the locals are not to be censured for the showing made. Wauconda has a well balanced team of players and we doubt if there is another team in this locality, outside of the larger communities, that has anything on them. McHenry gives them full credit for the victory achieved. The two Strokers cam* pretty mar being a whole team in themselves and with Tiffany at guard, another four year man, the Wauconda outfit surely did step to it at a merry gait. After securing a safe lead, Wauconda allowed two subsitute players to finish t. e game. The final score was 53 to 2, Niesen, playing at .center fer the locals, getting McHenry's only two points on a field throw in u!:- THURSDAY, DEC. 11 WM, FOX " • Wk --present* "1PEGGY HYLAND i IN COWARWSE COURT FATTY ARBUOTLE JS A Day at the Bitch COMING.
