Suffering from hallucinations that he was being pursued by enemies who sought to take his life, M'HENRY DEFEATED BY CAKE ZURICH Home Boys Untued to Small W&nconda Oym The McHenry A. C. traveled to Wauconda last Wednesday night, where they met the Lake Zurick Boosters in the second of their three game series at the Wauconda high school gym. It was very hard for the home boys to get going in such a small and inconvenient gym after being used to a regular hall here at home. It reminded one of a game in a large box car^and everyone in each others way One thing that hindered the McHenry boys was the absence of "Zeke," who was confined to his bed on account of a bad cold. Things would have been much livlier with him there. Before being retired from the game with four personal fouls, E. Rudsinki put in three very lucky, over his head, shots and gave Lake Zurich the lead McHenry held the lead till the third quarter, when Rudsinki started his barrage. At the quarter McHenry led 4 to 3 and at the half 6 to 5, but from there on the Zurick tossers got away and McHenry could not regain the lead again. During the third quarter of the game Gus Freund and Trion of Lake Zurick collided in a corner and Trion had to retire with a sprained ankle while "i«ur big boy Gus" came out without a scratch. A large crowd of followers of the McHenry team were there and all agree that had the game been played on a larger floor Lake Zurick would have been defeated the same as they were here two weeks back. The? two teams will meet again soon play off the'tie and it will probab > be played on the home floor. Dont miss this game, for it will undoubtedly be a close and very interesting one for each have a victory and arc fighting for the second dicisive one. Bonslett, Freund, Winkel, Green and L. Bacon all marked up points in the game last week, while Walsh and Page also played good games at guards. M. A. C.-- FG FT TM PF Bonslett 1 2 1 0 L.

The Huntley five are boasted to be the strongest amateur team in northern Illinois and they were much the favorites before Sunday's game. They showed their superiority over McHenry with their almost unbreakable defense and team work on the offense. s They were very surprised to meet such a strong team as they did during the first half of the game. At the end of the first quarter McHenry Red and Blacks were behind one point, 7 to 6, but during the second quarter McHenry led them all the time and not till the whistle for the end of the half did they get the lead of 18 to 16. At the start of the second half the Jelke five started on a whirlwind tour to the basket and scored 20 points before the McHenry club could stop them, but they did during the third quarter when they registered but 6 points during this period. Everyone on the McHenry team played an exceptionally good game, but were unable to stop the Huntley lads, who were composed of two stars from Elgin, Whipple and Long. Long was picked as an all-star center from the 1923 and *24 state champions of Illinois; Burhaw and Durrenburger of Dundee were also in the Hunley line.
