The Huntley first team must have carried a horse shoe or some other good luck omen. They defeated our boys by a score of 22 to 17. None of our boys could seem to get going and it was certain that none of them had a good eye for the basket. The McHenry and Huntley team? have divided equally. At Huntley the second team was defeated and the first team was the victor, but at McHenry everything was in the reverse order. The Moond team won and the. first team lost. McHenry's seconds handed the Huntley seconds a very one sided trimming on Friday night. Our boys kept fighting thruout the game and each one succeeded in making at least one basket. The Huntley boys proved weak at shooting baskets and as a resalt they only made two points in the entire game, both of these resulting from free throws. Green for McHenry made seven field goals and three free throws and was easily the star of the game. In the last quarter of the game Coach Stringer put in his four substitutes with Green. With oar spbs playing Huntley was unable to get a field goal, altho they had three or four chances, but McHenry kept on making baskets, Green getting one basket, Conway, two, and Jepson, one. This was one of the fastest games ever viewed by McHenry rooters, due to the fact that ref' eree Cook of Crystal Lake kept close to every play and did not allow either team to play dirty or rough. One of Huntley's players was put out on four personals And two or three of the others had three each. Green and Thomas had three each and Whiting and Newman each two for McHenry. Are you going to Hebron Friday l%ht? That is the main question of Hie day. The McHenry basket ball teams have not defeated Hebron for the last two years, but they are going out to do it this time. Hebron always has a large crowd of rooters out to support the teams, so we want yea to come and back your team. Wm. M. Green. ing advertising space.

He was standing looking at her. His hair was shaggy and rather gray and his eyes were large and black and had in them a rather vacant stare.
