T > Jacob Justen. • • After 8pending about a week in giv­ ing his machine a proper tuning ttp, Coach Dorr loaded same on the five o'clock rattler last Friday evening with DesPlaines as his destination, where he was scheduled for a test against the team representing the DesPlaines high school. After reaching DesPlaines the bas­ ket ball machine representing the Mc- Henry school was given an oiling and then set in motion against their op­ ponents. The machine worked per­ fectly. The boys dicj. just what their trainer had expected of them. They jumped, they dribbled, they dodged, they passed perfectly, used good judg­ ment at all times and put up as classy an article of ball as had ever been seen by the natives of DesPlaines. Satis­ fied that his week's work had not been for naught, Coach Dorr sat back and watched his skillful youngsters regis­ ter one of the most brilliant victories that has been brought to the McHenry high school this season. Every member of the McHenry team appeared at his best and it would have taken a mighty strong team to topple them on this particular night, as our boys were right. Mliler proved the shining light so far as basket shooting was concerned, with nine field throws to his credit. Richardson came next with six; Bonslett, five, and Bacon, four. Their speed and accur­ acy at basket shooting had their op­ ponents bewildered right off the reel and the DesPlaines 4ads were forced to exert themselves to the limit to keep the score down somewhere with­ in reasonable looking figures, viz., 49 to 20. Forty-eight of McHenry's points were made on field throws, while Des­ Plaines was able to chalk up but twelve counters in this manner, the other eight coming by way of free throws. McHenry had the enemy outclassed in every department of the game and when it came to team work the players of the orange and black had them so far out-distanced that there remained little chance for com­ parison. Coach Dotr as well as the members of the team feel quite tickled over their decisive win of last Friday night, as it will serve to make some of the Central OPERA HOXJSE MOVIES THURSDAY SATURDAY SUNDAY # .Thursday Mutual Program Saturday and Sunday Pathe Program Admission :: 10c OFFICIAL PUBLICATION.

If the boys can keep up this record they are sure to figure quite promi­ nently when it comes to the county championship honors, which rightly belonged to them last season. The McHenry school has come up fast in athletics in the past two years and right today every school in Mc­ Henry county fears us when it comes to play. Thus far this season our boys have played but one McHenry county high school team, this being Richmond. However, the boys are hoping to schedule a game with Hunt­ ley, a team that is now recognized as good as any in our county, arid if they are successful in winning over them they feel that nothing in this county can beat them to the championship.

Sub Sub Game Friday Night Tomorrow (Friday) night McHenry fans are promised another rare treat at the high school auditorium, when the locals clash with the Wheaton highs, aspirants for the state cham­ pionship. Without doubt the Whea­ ton team is the strongest that our boys have ever been called upon to face and we feel safe in stating that few basket ball fans will remain away on this occsion. Tlfcmas, the visitors fast colored center, has proven a big drawing card wherever the team has appeared this season and his presence in McHenry should also help attract a record-breaking crowd. Thomas is classed as one of the best "prep school players in the state. As a cur­ tain raiser the eighth graders will tackle the high school seconds. Games called at 8:00 o'clock.

Miss Cameron was compelled to resign on account of sick­ ness in her own home. "We have had a great d§al to say recently and it has been very profit­ ably said about the school as a social center, by which is meant«ti& school- house as a social center; about mak­ ing the house, which in the daytime is used for the children, a place which their parents and other citizens may use in the evenings for the meeting of the community, where they are privileged to come together to talk about anything that is of common in­ terest. Some people have been op­ posed to it, but I, for my part, believe in making the school the social center, the place that the community can use for any kinds of co-ordinating that it wants to do in its life."--Woodrow Wilson, Pres.
