KANE COUNTY CHAMPIONS Are Licked By Fast McHenry Basket Ball Five the McHenry town team basket ball five put the skids under the Aurora Badgers, champions oi Kane county. The game was one of the fastest ever seen on the home floor and it was evident from the very beginning that the visitors were working under a serious handicap on account of the smallness of the hall, but even with these odds against them they made the locals go some to win. The McHenry outfit put up one of the most clever games of the present season and it was only thru this that they were declared the winners, the final score being 36 to 17. Robison, Hunter and Miller all played a classy article of ball, while the balance of McHenry's team also held ^their own with their sturdy op­ ponents. Ferry, playing right guard for the visitors, proved the shining, light for Aurora, altho his team mates showed exceptional ability at the game. The Aurora team has asked for a return game to be played at Aurora, at which time the Kane county lads hope to redeem themselves. How­ ever, our boys are game to the core and are going to Aurora with all sorts of confidence and are going to play their hardest to win. Just when the return game will be played has not been decided as yet, but it is safe to say that it will be quite soon, as the Bad­ gers are anxious to get another whack at McHenry. The line-ups and scores follow: McHenry (36) Aurora (17) Robison, Frett R. F. Maser Hunter L. F. Smeby Miller C. Redmond F. Justen R. G. Ferry Knox, Wrede L. G.
