- M. A. A. C. TEAM TRIMS BARKY COUNCIL K. OF C *; V£ .# :v.^ 8mn at Bad of Game Is 52 to 17-- Town Team Goes To Woolstock Sunday The Barry Council K. of C. fire traveled oat from Chicago last Sunday in sub-aero weather to be entertained by the H. A. A. C. basketball team. Their spirits were high with Che thoughts of victory for had they net defeated the McHenry boys last year? Twas a different story for this game, however, and the score at the finish read McHenry 52, Barry 27, and it might have been much worse had the home boys Ml relaxed h ft* <1--1 period. < With every one of the regulars finding the loop with surprising regularity, the game soon became a one-sided ' affair, the score at the half being 27-9. The game started slowly with Barry using their slow breaking offense that had proven so puzzling the year before, but this year the McHenry boys just waited and waited for the opportunity to get possession of the ball; and when they did they surely made use of it by scoring one basket after another. In speed and teamwork the boys J from- home far surpassed the Chicago i outfit, who seemed to lose heart as the score continued to mount against thfem. McCabe, red-headed guard for Hie losers/ led them in scoring with four field goals and three shots from the foul line for1 a total of 11 points. Bacon led the locals with 18 points, with Freund having 12, Fay 12 and Overton 8. Capt. Conway also entered the scoring by caging one of his two shots from the floor. In the opening affair Geq^a City bowed to the ML A. A. C. Ponies in a close and exciting game, 30-29. The local team staged one of their belated rallies late in the second half and succeeded in overtaking their guests for the day just before the fihal g-«n. They were behind at the half with Genoa holding a 10-point lead. This is the second time that the locals have staged this sort of a game in the last -week, having previously defeated the Woodstock Ponies by one point, after being apparently beaten at half time. This sufely speaks well for/? their comeback power and should Jet the crowd in the habit of coming early s6 as not to miss the big treat of the day. There were no outstanding stars in this game with most of the boys playing the game the way it should be played. The. box scores follow: Overtoil Bacon .

Woodstock is very much peeyd to think that McHenry teams have been victorious in every game so far this year and are going to be primed for victory. On next Tuesday the Wauconda teams will visit at the McHenry Gym, two gam«3 starting at 7:30. In the lineup of the all-star aggregation from Lake county will be Flora, Lang and Durrenberger, all firmer stars of the Jelke Good Lucks and Elgin High School.

It ts generally recognized today that the beauty of any room depends very largely on its floor and the wood that It is made of, and its color and finish are studied as carefully as are the walls and furniture. In considering this important question the average homemaker finds herself bewildered by the variety of materials, finishes and colors that are offered her. Three things shoqld gold# her: to select a good floor (one that will wear well), that will be of a darker color than walls or celling, and that can be kept ta ardor'with the least effort. Wain^cotings Can Be Done in Glazed Colon Wainscotings are sometimes done with scrambling or glazed colors. First there Is a wall paper material on the wainscoting, with variously roughened surfaces that may either have some geometrical patterns or be in plain roughness of some description. The surface Is coated with a certain shade of color, as pale yellow or tan, and when dry It is scrumbled over with a transparent color, say, brown umber, with wiping out here and there, making an antique effect. In two-color work there are but twb colors used, as the name indicates, the first being the ground color, upon which is laid the glaze color. Upon this Is dabbed the various pure colors desired, using the stippler, a wad and a bit of crumpled paper, over all."v/ A room to rent?

Duker were called to assist as referees, timekeepers, etc., and as the wind blew colder, the snow fell and the mercury endeavored to drop out the bottom of the tube, the hoys played on, unmindful of all else but the spirit of the game and the good sportsmanship that goes with it and when the final returns were all chalked up it was found that McHenry had won four games out of the seven, which doesn't sound so bad after all. Let us tell you about them: Well, to start with, %he two high school teams traveled to Harvard on Friday night where they really should have won one game, at least, but fate was against them and they tost two games to the Harvard boys.

Duker, traveled to Elgin, where they met the Elgin Junior1 high team, which consisted of twenty-five men from the various Junior high schools of that city, some of the players being so far otfer six feet tall that they could drop the ball in the basket with ease. This encounter proved to be a victory for the Elgin team, but a bunch of boys that will get out before 8 o'clock on Saturday morning to ride twenty-five miles through a their points up to 20, the final score standing 20 to 15. The scoring was pretty evenly divided for McHenry, all of the players putting up a fast game of basketball and dagink about the same number of baskets. Dick Strain did the outstanding scoring of the game, making 11 points for his team. McHenry's second team also lost the game with the Harvard lightweights by a score of 14 to 10.

Common brick has a natural surface, in distinction from face brick, in which the face is smoothed, roughened or otherwise treated to produce special effects in texture or color. Modern villages built near the ancient city of Babylon are constructed from bricks found in its ruins, dating back several thousand yenrs B. C, Most brick are made from surface clay, dug by steam shovels or b.v hand from open clay pits. other brick are made from incipient shales which are often mined. There are many methods of preparing the clay, of forming, the shapes, and in methods of burning- The process followed in each locality depends on the characteristics of the clay and the kind of brick desired. All brick are burned, bej^g exposed for several days to terrific heat--the temperature of a kiln averaging about 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The standard size of all buil&ing brick--face and common--is 8x2% by inches. It is understood that a reasonable variation is allow.ed, for clay generally shrinks In the process of burning, and brick from the middle or hottest part of some kilns mdy be % inch to 3-16 inch shorter In length than brick from the outside or cooler portion of the same kiln. Owing to differences in the chemical composition of clay, the color of brick varies considerably tn different parts of the country, oxide of Iron and lime being the chief factors which Influence It To a lesser extent the degree of hent to which the bricks are subjected while burning also affects the color, but the presence or , absence of any particular color is not always indicative of their hardness.

Lose Two Games to Harvard In the game at Harvard the McHenry crew were in the lead during the three quarters of the games and every thing looked bright "tor a victory for the Orange and Black, but in the last quarter their hopes were dashed to the ground when Dick Strain came across with some sensational long shots from the center of the floor, making the points so fast that McHenty lost out after putting up a tlassy game of basketball to the end. At the first quarter McHenry led 6 to 3 and at the half the score stood 7 to 3, McHenry making foujr points and holding Harvard down to no gain. At ^ie third quarter the score read 15 to 12 for McJIenry, but after that some sort of a jinx settled onto the McHenry crew and not another score could they make, while Harvard ran Get to the Point In buying Pens Weofleragenuine service to the man or woman, boy or girl, who wants a fountain pen.
