Touchdowns Made by GoaWsy Barbian--Lights Lose by Score of 7 to 0 Two age-old rivals met on the football field last Saturday afternoon and when the smoke of battle had cleared, McHenry was in possession of a 12-0 victory over Crystal Lake. The much vaunted Crystal Lake line went to pieces before the determined drive of the inspired warriors of the local Orange and Black . Featured by the plunging and running of Bob Conway, the wonderful interference of Schroeder and Geir, and the strength of the McHenry line, McHenry swept Crystal Lake off their feet and scored two touchdowns in the first quarter before Crystal Lake could wake up to the fact that there wac a real football game going on. After chalking up two touchdowns in the first period by a long 65-yard run by Bob Conway, who no doubt is Irish, and a smashing line attack that ended with Barbian plowing through the Lakers' line for a touchdown, McHenry was content to rest and hold their foes at bay, which they did without much trouble. Crystal Lake, through passes high wide and handsome and completed some of them but could never sum up enough punch to put the ball over the line for the touchdown. At one time during the battle Crystal Lake had the ball on McHenry's 3-yard line and Crystal Lake was wild with glee for they had four downs in which to make 3 yards and with the famous Crystal Lake line ready to knock McHenry out of the way it looked as if they would surely score. On the first play Crystal Lake hit the side of the line manned by Captain Miller, "Cowboy Smith" and the veteran Zuelsdorf. Crystal Lake stayed right where they started from. Again they smashed at the same place and again the McHenry line tossed them back. A third time Crystal Lake stormed at the McHenry line expecting the famous Crystal Lake line to open up a hole but instead they met only waiting arms of McHenry taclolers. Crystal then gave up trying to get through the line and tossed a pass that the McHenry backfield knocked down. It was Crystal Lake's only real, chance to score but they did hot have the punch to get through and McHenry took the ball on downs and punted out of danger. After this bit of excitement Crystal Lake behaved themselves and McHenry left the field with their third straight triumph of lation of the newly elected officers i the yeartook place, with District Deputy! In a curtain raiser the local lights Frank Daly of Woodstock in charge went down to defeat before the Crys of the work.

The loss of several regular linemen cost McHenry the game as the locals lost through the inability of the line to hold. Notes of the Gsme Byron Hitchens, crack fullback of the locals, has been out of the game with a cracked hip but Coach Stringer let him loosen up on the Crystal Lake line in the final period. He took the ball once. He made 30 yards around end. Nuff said. Joe Barbian, who played in Hitchens' pjace at full, put up a good game and made several good tackles. After every play the Crystal Lake players went around helping up their comrades who had been knocked helter- skelter by the McHenry players. Some of them had to be revived, however, before they could continue with the game as the McHenry boys were playing kind of rough. t Coach Stringer has promised the team a real turkey dinner if they win the county championship. No wonder Bud Vogt was throwing Crystal Lake players all over the place. Crystal Lake put up a game battle and tried hard to overcome the McHenry team but all to no avail. After the game a Crystal Lake fan, who was rather downhearted, said, "Just wait till basketball." A Mc- McHenry fan, who was rather happy, replied, "Yeh, just wait!" The McHenry heavies and lights will travel to Woodstock Saturday, where they will tackle the Woodstock teams in a double header. This game will go a long way in deciding the championship and McHenry is o"ut to win. Hitchens, star fullback of the locals, will be back in the lineup and this means more trouble for Woodstock.
