Ueal Qtdnto* The McHenry town basket ball team handed the Wanconda. outfit an awful jolt at the high school gymna­ sium here last Saturday evening, when the visitors were walloped to the tune of 58 to 16. These two teams net at Wauconda a week ago, at which time McHenry was returned the winner by the small margin of two points. Taking this as a criterion local fans had banked on seeing an exciting struggle last Saturday night and had come pre­ pared, with their vocal organs pitched up to the highest key. Yes, the fans did make use of their lungs, while the Wauconda fans were given few op­ portunities to give vent to their feel­ ings, as their idols fell down miserably in this particular exhibition. Robison, McHenry's speed artist, covered himself all over with glory and succeeded in piling up the largest number of points ever made by an in­ dividual on the local floor. To be ex­ act, he caged nineteen ringers for a total of thirty-eight points, a feat that, we predict, will long stand as a record in McHenry. This does not mean that his team mates were idle and left all of the work for him. Nay, nay, Pauline, it was thru the machine-like assistance of his team­ mates'that made it possible for him to pile up this unusual score. Reihan- sperger, playing the other forward po­ sition, also came in for individual hon­ ors by caging four ringers for a total of eight points, while Frett as center added eight points to -McHenry's total. F. and A. Justen are credited with a basket apiece. For the visitors Young, at left guard, proved the best point maker, making one-half of the scores regis­ tered by his team. Wauconda didn't have a ghost of a chance of winning the contest. Not only this, but the visiting athletes seemed to lose their "pep" after Mc­ Henry had run the score up beyond the danger line. It was a case of where the other fellow was thoroly outclassed and Wauconda was indeed lucky to hold the score down to fifty- eight. The line-ups and scores follow: McHenry (58) Wauconda (16) Robison RT F. Souers Reihansperger L. F. Tiffany, Jenks Frett Meyers C : Kirwan Nickels, Justen R. G. r Tiffany Hunter, Justen L. G.

CLOSE SEASON WITH VICTORY McHenry Highs Win Cta* From Alumni Team Game The McHenry high school basket ball team closed its playing season at the local gym last Friday night by administering the alumni team a 30 to 20 defeat. * The highs put up their usual strong exhibition and at no time during the entire contest were they in danger of defeat. The alumni team was com­ posed of former high school players and, taking into consideration that some of the boys had played but very little since leaving school, they put up a very rreditahle evhibition. L. Frett, the high's heavy center, again proved the main cog for his team, he making ten baskets for a total of twenty points. For the alumni Bolger did the best work, get­ ting five baskets. The game was an interesting one to watch and the backers of both squads were there with plenty of encouragement for their favorites. The line-ups and scores: High School (30) Ahimni (20) C. Frett L.
