J - The MA ACS won twenty of their f'^ilwenty-faght games, while the best ;-phe McCracken men could do was gain j|n even break in twenty games.

LYPUWR OF MAACS' [r SUCCESSFUL SEASON Twwty Wen aad Bight La* b Season's Record--Karls Fetes Both Teams The busy season for the MAACS is now a thing of the past and will go down in history as one of the most successful seasons to date that the McHenry Athletic club basketball team has ever gone through. Financially it was a success, and if twenty victories out of twenty-eight starts means anything to the average fan, then the season was a moral success also. It it is true the boys failed to come through the tournament in the best manner, losing to Wauconda by one point in the semifinals, but this may be overlooked in view of the fact that the MAACS are strictly a home team composed solely of amateurs. In the regular season of twentythree games the MAACS lost seven and won sixteen, scoring 622 points to their opponents' 562, not such a large margin for the percentage, but two trimmings at the hands of Hinckley and Wauconda bring the outsiders5 average up considerably. In tournament play the MAACS far outscored their rivals and won the honor of high point team at the event. They totaled 193 points to 116 for their victims, an average of thirty-nine for the five games. Although the available records do not show the detailed scoring it is believed that Capt. Overton led, with either Fay or Kinsala following closely. Overton had a big advantage in that he participated in every game, while Fay, Freund and Kinsala were only present a part of the time, Fay and Freund being on the injured list for some time. Kinsala wasn't a regular until the season was well under way, but then got going in his old high school style and slipped in many a counter when they were most needed. MAACS 31, Huntley 17.

Karls entertained the members of the MAACS and Ponies last Thursday night at a splendid dinner in his Riverside Drive Cafe. Sixteen active members were present and when active is used one should know that they did ample justice to the splendid spread set before them. TTiose who enjoyed the repast were Coach Lester Bacon, Captain Overton, Kinsala, Whiting, A. Freund, Fay and H. Bacon; Captain Green, Dowell, Conway, Page, E. Frett, H. Frett, E. Freund, Harrison and Thorsell. After the eats had been disposed of the boys gave John Karls a rising vote of thanks and listened to Captains Green and Overton express their hopes that next season be as successful, if not more so, than the past one has been. Genoa City won .the independent basketball tournament held in the Lake Geneva Y. M. C. A. when Wil mot became disgusted with the referee's decisions and took their team from the floor. The score at the time was 11-10 in Genoa City's favor, but Wilmot was considerably crippled by the loss of two of their stars. Elk horn also had taken their team off the floor when pitted against Genoa in an earlier round. It may have been something other than the referee's decision that caused the withdrawal of these two teams since both were pitted against the strong Genoa Giants. Waterman--No one ever heard of it before last week, but now every follower of high school basketball in the northern part of the State knows that it is a little town about sixty miles southeast of us and that they have scraped up a Teal basketball team from amongst its 401 citizens and are simply mopping up some of these reputedly stellar aggregations such as Elgin, Waukegan, Sycamore and Wheaton. Yes, Waterman has come to the front and won the district and sectional titles for this part of the state. And most fans not directly connected with any of their rivals will be pulling for this tank town team to come through ti»vftata Unals'in good shape. | Girl of 14 Inherits Four Million Estate New York.--A fourteen-yearold girl was left over $4,000,00u of the $4,390,028 estate of I.ysander W.

CAGERS HANG UP BASKETBALL SUITS McCracken's High School cage squad has hung up their basketball suits for another season after the present one, which every one of them enjoyed to their utmost, had turned out an even break for them. In the seventeen regular season games the locals batted slightly over the 500 mark, but they evened up in tournament play when they gained but one victory m three starts. Mac wasn't overly pleas* ed with this record but it might have been a great deal worse. The greatest handicap was the absence of a consistent scorer. On defense the team concentrated as one will suspect when they find that in the nine victories and eight losses the opponents outscored the MacMen 297 to 256. Which gtvea McHenry an average of 15 points to their rivals' 17 or better. McHenry 22, Wauconda 17. McHenry 13, Barrington 12. McHenry 27, Crystal Lake 18. McHenry 10, St. Mary's 22.

Helgoland Island Being ^ Eaten Away by Water 'Hamburg, Germany." -- Repeated storms in recent years have little by little eaten away the coastline of the island of Helgoland and given rise to the fear that eventually the whole Island will disappear.

Paris.--Announcement at Hamburg Hhat the North German Lloyd's new giant, the Europa, companion ship of the Bremen, was ready for Its trial trip, brought information that a commercial building race is under way Which will pit France, Great Britain and Italy against the German company. The Europa Is expected to hit 80 knots an hour after its engines are loosened up. - The White Star ttne Is planning s •0,000-ton electrically propelled ship, the Oceanic, and the Cunard line is Batching this with plans for two 00,- 000-ton liners, both of which will try to regain the Atlantic speed record. The fleet flagship of the Cunarders, the Mauretania, lost Its crown last July when the new Bremen passed the Ambrose channel lightship after a trip four days, seventeen hours and forty-two minutes out of the Cherbourg breakweather. Now Italy is coming to the fore in the high-pressure competition to attract passengers by quick trips. The Fascist government is committed to the belief that a speedy and large merchant marine Is essentially in keeping with the broad governmental program laid down by Mussolini, and has therefore entered the shipping war. Announcement was made recently that keels will soon be laid for two ships of 47,- 000 tons each, to equal or surpass in luxury any of the craft now building or proposed by other nations. France, despite the glory of ownership of the lie de France, one of the aristocrats of the seas, is by no means satisfied with its own fleet. French newspapers are demanding building of a super lie de France that will cause the Bremen to worry over Its record. It Is reported that work on construction of such a ship already has begun--in secret. According to report. it wfll be a floating palace, and more than a peer of them all. CONOCO ADVENTURERS TO GIVE t -A ROMANCE OF THE WEST*4 The Lincoln Country War, a bitter factional fight in New Mexico in the ^arly seventies, is the background for "the Conoco Adventurers' radio playlet of the Western country Thursday ]st 10 p. m. (CST) over the NBC netjvork. „ Billy the Kid, one of the most famous outlaws of the Old West, who when he was still a beardless youth pf 18 carried several notches on his gun to record the killings in which ho had figured, is one of the principal characters in the radio playlet, en+ titled "A Romance of the West." It tells graphically the story of a three days of continuous battle which fin« ally ended a bitter fractional strife centering around the small town of Lincoln. There is woven into the sketch an interesting love-stofry, illuminated by the chronicle of the bravery of a settler's daughter who is finally won by one of the participants in the "'Lincoln County War." Special musical effects have been devised to lend a convincing sound background to the action, and there is a touch of comedy, tod, in the char- -acter of the pioneer wife who owned the only piano for miles around, and was ready to defend it with her life from damage during the fighting. The Conoco Adventurers may be heard each Thursday, at 10 p. m. CST, over the NBC network, including, WLS, Chicago.

Y.--A course in air mapping has just been organised at Syracuse university for students of applied science and the New York state college of forestry. This course will be under the direction of the airplane photographic department and is probably the first of its kind to be started at a university as part of the regular curriculum. The course is being financed under an endowment totalling approximately $60,000 from the Guggenheim foundation for the promotion of aeronautics. The importance of developing a course of this kind in forestry has been demonstrated by some of the large timber estimating projects of the West and in the Canadian forests. It is possible to make photographs from an airplane that will give the experienced forest engineer and reader of aerial photographs an Idea as to the approximate amount of timber on a particular area as well as the types Of forest, the topography of the country and the best routes over which ground cruising parties may be directed. By the use of airplane maps much of the former tedious work of ground survey has been obviated. It is now possible for ground parties to obtain data on a small area of timber and apply this data to the aerial maps over large tracts wherever the map reveals that type^of Ipjeat.
