After a hard struggle, during which there were no casualties, the Westj Siders were ruled the winners on t h e i r a c h i e v e m e n t o f t w o t o u c h - j downs. The first quarter found the two teams on about an equal basis, but as the game progressed .the strain! seemed to have a more telling effect on the East Siders, with the result that the opposing eleven were able to! push over twelve points. Paul and j 'Beef" Patzke carried the ball across the enemy line for the touchdowns.' Lockwood, playing with the West Siders, was ordered to carry the bali '< on one occasion and that was more than plenty, he having been brought j down to earth with a thud that fairly ; rocked the big school building. There being no "understudies," Lockwood was forced to finish the game, which he did. It's a safe bet that there will be no more foot ball in McHenry, so far as the fellows who took part in Sunday's struggle are concerned. ^ Mrs. Minnie Gerding, Paul and Julius Gerding, Mr. and Mrs. A.
