According to the best dope sheet now available, McHenry will play their first game Thursday night at 8 o'clock. They meet the strong highly-touted Plato Center five. Plato Center's improvement in the last year has been remarkable. It is sure to be a close game, although McHenry is given a slight edge by the critics. Should McHenry win the first game, they will play the winner of the Hampshire- Hebron game. The Hampshire. Hebron game is the first one to be played in the tournament. According to the season's records Hebron and Hampshire have the two strongest teams in their class. Hebron has won more games than Hampshire, and is expected to win. As before mentioned if McHjenry comes through with the victory in their first game, they will probably play again Friday afternoon. Should they win the second game, they will go into the semi-finals. Below is an outline of how the tournament is to be run off: Game 1--Hampshire-Hebron. Game 2--St. Charles-Crystal Lake. Game 3--Plato Center- McHenry, Game 4--West Chicago-Elgin. Game 5--Richmond-Huntley, Game 6--Harvard-Dundee. Game 7--Burlington-Capron. Game 8--Barrington-Woodstock. Game 9--Winners of Games 1 and 3. Game 10--Winners of Games 2 and 7.

Last Friday night McHenry lost to Harvard 12-24. The boys were not playing their usual basketball, but Coach Stringer is working them hard to round them into shape for the coming tournament, and the game with Crystal Lake Saturday night. The Ponies won by a close score and the town team which played the night lost to Woodstock. Chicago Team Defeats Town Team, 34 to 24 JVNIOR HIGH TEAMS PLAY AT WOODSTOCK The first and second teams of the Junior high basektbaH boys went to Woodstock Saturday forenoon, where they played the basketball teams of the Dean street school.

C. basketball team met some very classy opposition Sunday afternoon when they played the Commodore Barry team of Chicago, composed of the members of the St. Mel 1925 national championship five. The Barry team is at present fighting for the lead in the K. of C. league in Chicago and although it was a hard matter to persuade the boys from Barry to play the local squad they went home convinced that they had met enough opposition to make their trip to this city worth while.. Although the local team was defeated by a score of 34 to 24 they feel that it was a good game and every member of the team played some real, intensive basketball, and the work of the K. C. boys was something to be proud of. A preliminary game between the Harvard Cardinals and McHenry Aces started at 2 o'clock in which the local boys won with a score of 16 to 15. On Friday evening George Grant's Kaysee team of Woodstock came to McHenry where they met the local K. C. team and defeated them by the slim margin of 21 to 19. The game was an intresting one and the work of the local boys was good to watch with some sensational plays occurring during the evening. At the end of the first quarter things looked good for McHenry with the score standing 9 to 5 in their favor, while at the half the visitors had crept up until the score was tied at 11 points. At three quarters the Woodstock team was in the lead 21 to 13. In, the last quarter the Woodstock players were unable to score a point while McHenry scored half a dozen and the final score stood 21 to 19.

The first team won by a score of 35 to 17 and the second team by 31 to 23. A change was made in the lineup, which worked out to good advantage, with Bacon playing running guard and Whiting as forward. After the boys became accustomed to their new positions the plan worked out fine. Whiting was high-point man with five baskets and two free throws to his credit. Overton played his usual good floor game and added to the score in the last half. The local teams will go to Huntley Friday night, where they will meet the Jelke Good Lucks in their second contest with them. .

Many Kinds of Fake Industrial Pi tions Used as Bait. -f: , • By W. R. MOREHOU8K f*ufWte WtiiiWoiis Commission, American Bankers Aeeeeletlo* - MILLIONS of dollars raised under the disguise of charity go to line the pockets of promoters. Ticket sales on raffles are commonly used* and while the loss to any one person who buys a ticket is small the aggregate loss for the United States runs into millions of dollars. Usually the promoters of these schemes first make a contract with some charitable institution to conduct a campaign for funds on behalf of the institution. They are to run the campaign in the name of the institution and share the proceeds. The whole scheme is often one of deception. To those who have been led to believe that their contributions go practically 100 per cent to charity, the following case we investigated should prove illuminating. A number of promoters recently contracted with a charitable institution to put on a campaign to raise funds by the raffle of a new automobile. So far as the public could tell from the banners used in displaying the automobile, the full amount of the sale price w.*, MOREHOuei 0f the tickets went to the institution. There was nothing to convey any other impression. Apparently It was open and above board and was being conducted by men who were contributing their time gratuitously. For several days a new automobile, • . • CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS Council Room, Feb. 24, 1928.

Social Wheel Bake Sftli Hall, Saturday, March fe mounted on a truck, was driven up and down the streets, with banners telling about the drive for funds for the charitable Institution. One day the truck would go by displaying one of the popular makes of automobiles. A few days later it would parade by displaying some other popular make. Periodically tbe truck would pull into the curb where it would park for several hours while the promoters pleaded with passers-by to take tickets on the raffle and thereby help a deserving charitable institution to meet its bills. Thousands "Touched" Thousands of people, touched by the appeal for help, bought tickets, the total sale running into the thousands of dollars. Contrary to the belief of the ticket buyers their contributions did not go 100 per cent to charity. Instead the charitable institution received but 26 cents on the dollar, the promoters getting 52 cents on the dollar as their net profit, or twice the amount received by charity, while the remainder of 22 cents on each dolla represented the amount charged against gross sales by the promoters as expenses. In other words, every person who bought a 60 cent ticket for the sake of charity, contributed but IS cents to eharity and 37 cents to those promoting the scheme. Whether you give to charity or make an Investment It will pay you to get the facts! Unfortunately there is a general Impression abroad that wildcat promotions are confined to oil, mining and new inventions. The truth is, many stock selling promotions are operated Oder the name of other industries. False Claims A certain group of promoters investigated offered for sale stock in a proposed woolen milL Id order to sell the stock they resorted to the use of misrepresentation and false claims. After renting space on the ground floor of an offlce building fronting on a busy street they began their campaign. Orally and by printed advertisements extravagant claims were made for the proposed corporation which were grossly false. It was claimed that the promotion had the support of the Chamber ot Commerce, but It did not have any such an endorsement It was claimed that the corporation had a signed con tract for the sale of millions of dollars' worth of its products--orders enough to keep the mills running day and night for many years and accordingly insure its success, but all that it had was a valueless fake agreement It was claimed by two of the principal promoters that they had had many years of experience in the manufacture of woolens,--in fact had organized and financed a woolen mill which Is the largest in the United States. The facts were these two pro Ths "Charity" Drive moters had not been connected with any miUs for over twenty years-and they had attempted at different times to promote miUs, all of which had failed. One of the promoters represented that formerly he was president and general manager of one of ths largest woolen mills in Canada. The fact was the mill referred to had gone Into bankruptcy and be had been caretaker of the plant This story of misrepresentation can be duplicated in practically the whole industrial field, and because our industries are being exploited with Intent to defraud, It behooves every investor to investigate carefully.
