Wauconda high school trimmed Warren Township's basketball team for the first time in six years. And the very next game they lost to Antioch. That's the wey the game goes. The Woodstock Lions roared in the McHenry gym against the MAAC's last week and the Woodstock fans and aenbes have been roaring most everywhere ever since. In fact all the afcored op roaring for the past several seasons is now being let out. Art Meyers hit 240 last week and looked good for first money until none other than Harold "Vinegar" Idler chanced along and stuck in a 242 count to cop first prize for the week at the Palace. Which proves that maybe there is wine hick in this game after all. ; Ed. Sheehan, captain of the Har- ^1»d K. of C. bowling team, haar been looking for a game with the local t Council team, and if the dates can be arranged satisfactorily he surely will get a match. There is nothing that the Irish of McHenry like better than to administer a trimming to those "Laee Cnrtam™ Irish from up north. ^WWocOTida tonight is playing host to the Skokie Reds, the team that gave them such a terrific battle in the tournament last spring. Among those present will be Bud Prazer, scrappy little guard, who has been the means of keeping the team together for the past few years. Bud is well known about town, and not oriy among the followers of basketban. Patzke scored the only two field goals that the McHenry high team made against Woodstock. Either the county-seaters have some good guards or the McHenry lads are "jinxed" when they play them, for in two games against Woodstock teams they have scored but three field goals. They may be classed county-seaters, but in the standing they are away out in front. ; iCapt. "Gaga" Mills of the Illini ^iMtoketball flQuad, whose home is in Elgin, is again back ori the job with his team, after having spent an enforced vacation due to overwork on the gridiron and court. Mills has never played in McIJenry to my knowledge, but I well remember him as a member of the Elgin High School team that ftjmmed us-so soundly in the Jinak of the district tournament back in i925. Jack Smith is again showing the boys of the rifle club just how to shoot. He led the field in the recent indoor match, although Bill Klapperich was right on his heels most of the way. Frye, who is the new member hailing from Capron, came in third to make his long journey worth /while. Smith's three-point margin over Klapperich gave him just that much lead in the interesting match |4pr high aggregate score. . Among the casualties for the week in McHenry County basketball are listed the names of Inger, of the Woodstock Kaysees, and Brunswick, Genoa City guard. Inger broke a small bone in his ankle in the game with the McHenry Ponies last Wednesday night, while Brunswick had the misfortune to bump one of his teammates in the Kaysee-Genoa tilt at St. Mary's Sunday and suffered a rather painful broken nose. rr' v • • . : : jHm't forget to attend the regular •iiimthly meeting of the McHenry Amateur Athletic Association tonight at Overton's Garage. If you are a member, be there, and if you aren't a member you should be. McHenry has been putting a basketball team on the floor for the past two years that is worthy of note and this team b organized entirely through the efforts of the M. A. A. C. Giv^ the boys your support by becoming a member if you aren't already one. Jfeetmg starts at 8:00 p. m. .^Crystal Lake and Pox River Grove nave now stepped into the limelight with their newly organized hockey teams. Last Sunday they had quite a spirited contest on the ice at the Grove which'the river *aos won 3 to 1 Prom some of the reports one would think they could trim, the Chicago Blackhawks, but when one considered the fact that they sometimes have draft even the mayors of the towns into service in order to complete a team each a statement seams rather " fit of order. Coach Dutch Bacon has decided that the MAACs' need more practice, af s% ter they have dropped the last two ' - games, so the boys can expect to ? work hard for the next few weeks i Last Tuesday night they went to Libertyville and engaged the Fould Five of that city, Wednesday night they practiced, and they would like to have held another practice Friday night had it been possible. Preparations for the oncoming Hinckley game are a vital necessity, to say ' nothing of the rest of the schedule. * , • * . ' % Yuker Mayers couldn't find a part- " tlpr to roll against Tryon and Shar- Icey last Monday night when the two Woodstock bowlers invaded the Palace Alleys with blood in the it eyes and money in their pockets. Maybe a little match could be arranged for these boys some evening in the near future. And that reminds me that I have a match to roll off with George Sullivan, of the Woodstock press. I noticed George practicing up the • other night when in Woodstock, but the coming match had slipped my mind for the moment. The particulars have yet to be arranged. AHAOOTOA'S TRIM M.A.A.CS--PONIES WIN HIGH SCHOOL OACN5KS LOSS; DBOP IN RACE Hinckley Here Next Sunday To Renew Old Rivalry--Busy Week Ahead The Anaconda team from appeared in the McHenry gym Su»idal and looked to be about the best that McHenry has faced this season in administering a neat 39 to 25 victory over the slipping M. A. A. C's. Another good crowd similar to the one that turned out to greet the Woodstock Lions was on hand and witnessed as neat a performance as anyone could wish to see. K. Knudsen proved to be the star on the offensive end of the game for the winners, caging six baskets and a trio of free tosses for high scoring honors. He was well supported by an able-bodied team that gave a good account of itself in every department of the game. Inability of the local boys to hit the basket from all the angles that the Kenosha bunch used proved to be their undoing. Tw^game started out in real style with each team playing cautiously awaiting an opening, but this style of game quickly loosened up once the teams found their shooting eyes. Whiting sank a long on© toj open the scorng and Binninger came up with one from the sidelines to tie the score. Kinsala dropped one in with his loose jointed motion and again Binninger tied it up. The first quarter found McHenry leading by an 11 to 6 count, but Franks, the curly-headed guard, tuned up with a pair of neat long shots and put some pep in his tribe who soon had the count even and then forged out ahead to lead 17-15 at half time. In the last half our boys never had a chance. They scored but one field goal in comparison with Anaconda's seven, four of them by K- Knudsen. In free throws they were even, making eight apiece. Kenosha's ability to hit the basket and to sink their free throws stood out throughout the game, and had the McHenry boys been hitting in the way they can there would "certainly have been one close game. As it was Kenosha ran away early in the third quarter and then resorted to a stalling game, forcing the M. A. A. C's to come out after them and then they proceeded to utilize their speed to advantage in driving in for short shots. The M. A. A. C's need feel no disgrace in dropping a game to this classy outfit; indeed they should feel proud of the fact that they can boast a victory over this same team on their home floor. In the opening contest the local Pony squad got the best of the Huntley team in a game replete with thrills. Each team proved to be fairly aggressive on the offensive, Huntley specializing in free throws but allowing the Ponies to gather the most baskets. The game went into the overtime period before a decision could be rendered. E. Kelsow Altered the game at the start of the overtime and Mc Henry captured the lead by sinking the free throw allowed when he failed to report. Conway then scored on a neat under-the-basket shot to cinch the game. Dowell proved to be a great help to the smaller squad with his work rtt center, where he controlled the tipoff, as well as assisting with a pair of field goals. Next week will find the Pony squad plenty busy with games Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Better stay home and rest, boys. Next Sunday none other than the Famous Five from Hinckley are coming to visit McHenry. Hinckley will be well remembered as the team that beat McHenry three times last year, the only defeats suffered by the home team during the regular season. And two of these v)ere in overtime games, each of which packed the house. This year Hinckley has added to their roster the famous Johnson brothers, formerly members of the Batavia Green Pheasants, the team that wor. the district tournament at Wauconda two years ago. King is still in the lineup, as well as several of the other stars of last season. Admission for this game will be the same as always despite the extra quality of the at traction.

McHenry suffered their second league defeat of the season last Friday night at Woodstock, this time at the skill commanded by Larry Dale's Blue and White squad that Is so far undefeated for the season. McCracken's men showed some very fine teamwork and got the ball down the floor time and again, but they just can't seem to find the basket.

The M. A- A. C's won 25 to 22 in a real congest that had the boys hopping plenty fast during the final few minutes. With about seven minutes to go they were enjoying a ten-point lead and Capt. Overton elected to employ a stalling game, but Libertyville broke this up several times when passes went awry, and Keller, star forward of the Fould^ team, sank three successive long shots to bring them up within reach. McHenry stuck to the stalling game nevertheless, and managed to hold off the onrushing squad until the final gun sounded. Fay and Kinsala did, most of the scoring for the winners. Fay making four baskets, all of the follow-up school j variety, while Kinsala also showed a team this year. like number of counters, but varied The game was real close all during! them with one long shot that zipped the first half, which ended with a .through the netting. tie score, 7 to 7.

Under normal conditions--that is. In quiet, familiar surroundings--the eyes remain at rest for a few seconds.

SHARP SHOOTERS' SHOTS The McHenry Rifle club is swinging into action on the ndoor schedule that it has planned for this season.
