I TOWN TEAM WINS Hand Wheston Fire I One-Sided Trfhtmlng Saturday Notwithstanding the fact that the train carrying the visiting team to this village arrived at the McHenry station nearly two hours late, a crowd of faithful fans waited patiently at the gymnasium last Saturday evening. When the team finally put in its appearance the fans were satisfied and sat back to watch a real interesting game. However, they were somewhat disappointed, as the visitors did not come up to expectations as the word had been passed around that Wheaton had one of the fastest teams in north­ ern Illinois. McHenry, as usual, started the game with flying colors and started to accumulate points right from the very beginning and before the game had advanced far it was not a matter as to who would win, but how many points would be made hy the McHenry outfit. The final score was some­ thing like 58 to 23. McHenry's town team, we can hon­ estly say, is the fastest aggregation of basket ball tossers ever put to­ gether in this village and the game that they have been putting up this season would do credit to many a college squad. , Each and every member of the team is a finished player. They have the size, the weight and speed and what's more the boys are thoroly familiar with all the tricks of the game, all of which go to make them northern Illinois championship contenders. Miller, playing at center for Mc­ Henry, put up his usual strong game, and the fans have yet to see the fel­ low who can get the jump on him. Robison, Frank Justen, Reihansperger and Leonard Frett made up the bal­ ance of McHenry's five on this occa­ sion and their machine-like work was a pleasure to watch. Leonard Frett, the sturdy high school center, played his first full game with the town team and showed the fans that he is fit for fast com­ pany. He held his own with his oppo­ nent and kept perfect pace with the balance of the seasoned playing mates. We have been unable to obtain the line-ups and scores of the game and for this reason are omitting same, but from the above it may be easily seen that McHenry had a compara­ tively easy time winning from a team bearing the reputation of being among: the best in its class in the state. C. E. SMALLEY ENLISTS jl 3 ** "• Former High School Principal Enters Aviation Corps C. E. Smalley, who for two seasons was engaged as principal in our high school, has given up his position as principal of the Crystal Lake school to join the aviation corps. In speak­ ing of his entry into the service of Uncle Sam the Crystal Lake Herald pays this young man the following compliment: "The teaching corps of the Crystal Lake Union schools is soon to lose one of it most efficient meiribers, for C. E. Smalley, who for the past two years has been principal of the high school, has successfully passed the exam tions and will enter the aviation corps probably within a week, at least as soon as someone can be secured to take his place.

To- those who could not af­ ford a liberty loan bond this opportu­ nity of doing "their bit" is afforded. Money loaned to the government in this way is not only a good investmet, but is absolutely necessary in order to carry on the war. Thimble Club Meets The R. N. A. Thimble club met with Mrs. Chas.

"His enlistment adds another star to the service flag recently presented to the Union school, bringing the number up to forty-eight, all that there are room for on the flag." Sprains Ankle The ' following item appeared in Monday evening's Elgin Courier: "Miss Sue Frett is confined to her home at 321 Dundee avenue with a severely sprained ankle sustained in a fall." Miss Frett is the daughter of our respected townspeople, Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Frett, and her many friends here will be sorry to learh of her misfortune.
