A good sized crowd was on hand tov watch the two e^pbats, which proved two of the most interesting games seen in McHenry this season. The lassies of the two educational institutions took the #floor first and kept the spectators at fever heat thru- out. Both teams put up a fast article of ball. In fact, we believe that the game was about as hard fought a con­ test as has ever been put up by any girl team in the history of the school. Both teams showed a weakness at basket shooting, but when it came to the defensive the fair ones displayed that they had mastered at least a part of the fine parts of the game. Every once in a while one or the other side would show a flash of team work, but when the time came for the "shoot" they failed to deliver. When the whistle sounded the close of Jthe contest the score board showed that the game had ended in a tie, each side having made four points. It was then decided to allow the* teams two minutes to play off the tie. Soon after the teams resumed play a foul was called on one of the Elgin girls. V. Brefeld, who had replaced L. Still­ ing at center, was called upon to make the free throw. She delivered and this proved the winning point of the game. The two teams lined up as follows: Elgin Academy (4) Nichol McCormick Struckman Schick Schultz Sub: V. R. F. L. F. C. R. G. L. G. Brefeld. McHenry (5) Bonslett Barbian Stilling A. Wentworth V. Wentworth Field throws: McCormick, Struck­ man, Barbian. *Free throws: Stilling, 2; Brefeld, 1. * Boys' Game Is Fast The boys of the two schools lined up immediately after the close of the girls' game. Both teams fought hard. McHenry led from the very beginning, but the visitors kept so close to the home boys' heels that the local squad was forced to keep in high speed during Central • OPERA HOUSE , MOVIES THURSDAY SATURDAY SUNDAY Thursday Mutual Program Saturday and Sunday Pathe Program Admission :: 10c LADY FORESTERS INSTALL Mrs. Elizabeth Steilen of Chicago Does the Work The first half ended with McHenry leading by the wee small margin of three points, the score standing 9 to 6. By the time that the second half was started the home boys had gotten down to real business and during the second session the home players had things pretty well their own way, the game ending 28 to 10 in our favor. Thus it will f>e seen that the visitors made but four points in the second half. Haligas, Elgin's husky guard, came very near being the whole show for the visitors, he making nine of the ten points registered by the Elgin players, the honor of making the other point going to Wing. Haligas also saved his team from a severe beating, as his exceptional guarding and general all around work easily featured the game. He was about as clever a player as has been seen on the home floor this sea­ son. However, in spite of his fast work and clever dodging, his team­ mates weren't of sufficient service to bring victory and he with his four mates were forced to go down before a team which is well fortified in every department of the game and one which takes advantage of every open­ ing. As usual our boys put up a snappy article of ball. Every one of them was fit for a hard struggle and each and every one did his share in bring­ ing home the season's sixth victory. The line-ups follow: Elgin Academy (10) Meyers R. F Wing L. F. McHenry (28) Bonslett Bacon Miller Richardson Justen Bpyle, Frett DeGaris C. Haligas L. G. Lea R. G.

HARRY F. G. June 25. 1915. 1347 Early Ave The above are only brief quotations from some of the many letters received by The Chicago Tribune, telling of unusual success achieved through putting "Situation Wanted" Ads in The Tribune. The "Situation Wanted" and the "Help Wanted" col­ umns of The Chicago Tribune, both daily and Sunday, have been the step­ ping stones by which thousands of young men and young women have secured positions that led to big incomes, independence, happiness and real success. People who want positions quickly, without wasting time, energy and money, insert "Situation Wanted" Ads in The Tribune, telling what they can do, and at the same time read the "Help Wanted" columns carefully every day in order to take advantage erf any suitable openings that may appear there. The Tribune carries more "HELP WANTED" adver­ tising and more "Situation Wanted" advertising than any other paper in Chicago. If YOU want a good position Put your "Situation W anted" Ad IN The Chicago Tribune aod also read the "Help Wanted" Ads in The Tribupe every day, 4*i)y and Sunday. Wew McHenry, Illinois.
