Neither did they bother with any merchandise, though one of the men picked up a package of cigarettes, only to put it Heiwn again.

The games were two of the hottest encounters of the season in which the local first team was victorious with a score of 34 to 18, while the second team won with a score of 18 to 7. The Orange and Black seemed full of determination to win this game '.on their home floor as they had previooF*- ly lost in their first game with Marand a fine basket from the side which Irat them in the lead. This did not last ottf, however, as Smith, the fighting captain, came back with a basket and Schreiner made a flashy dribble through the enemy's defense, caging a basket and leaving the score 6 to 3 in favor of McHenry at the first quarter. During the second quarter Marengo rallied putting up *uch a strong defense that the locals were unable to score during the quarter. The defense of McHenry was also good as the only point made during the quarter was a free throw by Marengo. After much piling up and throwing of the ball the score remained 6 to 4 at the half. After their rest the ' local lightweights came back with a vim determined to bring their score to a safer distance from their opponents. "Tippy" caged the first basket while scoring was also done by CShea, Anderson and others. Both teams lost several opportunities to increase their scores with free throws.

Their determination to win, together with their hard work and fast playing on the gym floor won for them the victory. Marengo Outclassed Although McHenry had the Mareik go crew outclased at all times during the game and led in the scoring throughout the games, yet at the end of the first quarter it was a guessing match as to who would win with the score tied 3 to S. It was a snappy game from start to finish with Pat Dawson's quintet putting'up a fine defense and making a great fight to upset the dope, but Coach McCracken'8 boys were in fighting trim and at no time after the first quarter did they give the visitors an opportunity to put the game on ice. Marengo opened the scoring by sinking a short shot in the first period, but Frett could not stand for this and soon after he sank a beautiful Ions? ing somewhat more secure for McHenry at the end of the third quarter with a score of 11 to 4. During the last quarter Marengo succeeded in making three points while McHenry added seven points, making the final count 18 to 7 in our favor. Those playing on the second team were Thennes, Schreiner, Smith, O'Shea and Anderson. To Hebron Friday Night On Friday night the Orange and Black will travel to Hebron where these two teams will meet in the second encounter of the season.

The McHenry Plaindealer, { McHenry, HI. * Dear Sirs: Enclosed please find my check for one year's subscription for your newspaper. I have been receiving your paper for the last eighteen or twenty years and I find it a very important, up-to-date paper, as a person can get a great many points on real estate from it. I have just completed an upto- date ten-room house at Orchard Beach, which I expect to occupy permanently in the near future. I had engaged the services of the expert builder and contractor, Joseph W. Rothermel, whom I can recommend to anyone as a good, fair workman and whom I am pleased to say satisfied me. I also want to say a good word for Frett Bros. A Freund, for the ce tnent work they did for me. Yours respectfully, f JOHN A. ARADO. 93 So. Water Market. ROMO BOBB TO MILWAUKEE The Plaindealer is in receipt of a letter from Romo Bobb, formerly of McHenry, in which he states that he has been transferred from the De- Longe Studio at Madison, Wis., to the, Morrison Studio in Milwaukee. Along with te transfer came a promotion and, beginning Jan. 1, Mr. Bobb was made the head artist at the Milwaukee studio. The many friends in McHenry of this young man will "be glad to learn of his advancement. Ken-L-Ration--The Dog Food Su- Etlger's Drug Store. Frett followed with two baskets made by hitting the ball into the basket and Harrison scored another star basket with one of his long shots, bringing the score up to 16 to 7 for McHen- ,r at the end of the half. After a good rest at the half both teams came back with a bang and the •coring was tied during the period, each team making /even points, with McHenry keeping the lead with their advantage gained in the second quarter. Frett dropped the first basket for the Orange and Black and then Marengo caged a free throw and soon after slipped in a basket before the locals could stop them. Frett came to the rescue with another basket while Harrison made two free throws Marengo was not sleeping, however, and grabbed the ball on a dribble and rimmed a neat basket for their side, which left the score 23 to 14 in favor of the locals at the end of the third quarter. As the whistle sounded for the final period the school yells on both sides gave evidence of the keen interest of the fans. Marengo made the first basket in the last quarter, but Miller, McHenry's famous guard, not to be outdone, came back with a basket for his team, Frett made a basket and after some wonderful and speedy teamwork, Patzke made a neat basket, making the score 28 to 16. Not to be outdone, Harrison, another one of McHenry's famous guards, made two of his sensational i^ng shots, caging two baskets and as the playing waxed fast and furious in the last few minuted of the game, the score at the final sound of the gun stood 34 to 18 in favor of McHenry. Locals Weak on Free Throws It was painfully evident that McHenry's team was weak on free throws, fifteen of them' being missed during the game while only six were made. However, McHenry's offense was good and the spee^ and teamwork of the players was "worthy of mention. Frett led in the scoring with six baskets and a free throw to his credit, while Harrison was second with three baskets and two free throws, and Patzke was close on his heels with two baskets and three free throws. DiBona led the scoring for Marengo with fltree baskets to his credit. Lightweights Win 18 to 7 The lightweight teams of the two schools played a curtain raiser which resulted in a victory for McHenry, the final scoce being 18 to 7. The game was rather a close and uncertain one, although the, locals were always on the long eria of the score and did well to maintain their advantage gained at the start. The players did some fast stepping, show-1 ing a great deal of speed, some good] teamwork and fine scoring at the baskets and give promise of becoming star basketball players of whom McHenry may be proud. The first basket was made by Thennes, then Marengo caged a free throw •> SMART SILK consisting of V » * Prints and Prints, Flat mquiation • Sizes 14 to 48 Priced Specially S a9 95 r%!
