The McHenry town basket "ball team journeyed over to Hebron last Friday evening, where they met and defeated the town team of that village after one of the hardest and most exciting struggles ever seen in Hebron. On account of the bad Condition of the roads three of the regulars on the town team,' who are employed at the county seat, were unable to get to Hebron and it was necessary to substitute high school players, Miller and Justen being the only regulars to make the trip. However, the high school players put up an exceptionally fine article of ball and with the support of the two stars, Miller and Justen, they succeeded in winning the contest by the close score of 16 to 14. At the end of the second half the score stood at a tie and it required fifteen minutes of extra play before the winners were finally decided, Clifford Buss, of the high school quintet, being credited with the winning points.
