Red Grange returned to old-time I form last Sunday, when, as a member of the Chicago Bears, he turned iu two touchdowns in the first half of the game with the Chicago Cards, pro rivals of the metropolis. The old "77" is far from through if his recent performances mean anything. Prom the way the weather has been acting of late the old size golf bait has received just about its last knock. Next season the newer and larger size hall will be the official pill to be poked around in all the big events. Some Of the more persistent may still find * day or two that is half way decent to exercise on the full size courses. *HK M'HSNBY PLAUfDKALEB, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 23,19S0 m ft"1 And now the Canadian authorities are holding most of the hockey players belonging to the American group on a technicality discovered in their passports. Anyone looking over the record of the Chicago Blackhawks for the past two seasons would rather doubt the classification stated in their passports, which indicates that they are skilled workmen. Jin Perkins came through strong in his first series of the coming bowlr ing season. Jim had high game of 205 and high series of 560, which was far in advance of the other results, so far that Jim has been accused of practicing in secret. His score was the only three game series over 500 so it looks as if it might be the old timers' league, after all. Bill Brittain, Jim Fitzgerald, Tony Schneider made the trip to South Bend Saturday to witness the Rockne • men take Carnegie Tech into camp. They were royally entertained by some friends there who showed them about the campus and provided them with A-l seats for the big game. If their reports mean anything the N. D. lads will walk away with the national championship, but maybe some of the other teams will not listen to them. Bert Metzger is another star of the Notre Dame team that spends much of his time in this vicinity. MetdgSr's folks have a summer home at Crystal ' Lake and Bert likes to take his summer workouts on the floor of the ever popular Fox Pavilion. The diminutive lad received a mighty nice writeup by a well known sports writer in a Chicago daily. It compared him in de- ; tail with the great Cannon of nationwide fame last season. Fact is they said he was just as effective though lacking in color and sis*. And that means something. flfro ACTION Warn* Walsh Captains Leading Five As S^M Opens--Jim Perkins OIK Man First Night The so-called "old time" bowlers opened the league season at the Palace alleys last Wednesday evening when the four groups, captained by •: C. Thies, Warren J. Walsh, Matt N. Schmitt and Math Freund, enjoyed a lively three-game series with the <fluntet headed by Walsh capturing the evening's high total with 2290. --ath Freund ?s bynch pulled up in place position with 2215. The scores sre expected to be much rloser as time goes on and the old boys g*t back ii^ their swing. ,; .. Jim Perkins, the "Hello" trouble man, came through far in advance of the rest of the bunch, so far in fact that they threatened to throw him <5ut of the league if it happened again. Jim hit high game of 206 and high series of 560, a score which many outside of the old-timers would be glad to claim. The group is to maet every Wednesday night at the alleys and roll three games, commencing at 8:00, the high total of pins for the evening determining the winner. Seasonal winners are determined in the same manner, this method preventing the old spirit of rivalry that sometimes develops between certain squads, as it really means thfct each team is rolling against each of the other three. • Tuesday evenings have been chartered by the new group of bowlers hailing from Spring Grove. The boys up there have taken very kindly to the, to them, new sport. Several of the more enthusiastic have been practicing faithfully for the past ten days in an effort to get the jump on the rest of them and they are sure to show the result of this extra experience when the season opens for them this week. • Opening scores for the ^Id-Timers* J. C. Thies 688 758 702--2188 W. Walsh 727 790 778--2290 Matt N. Schmitt 700 702 769--2171 Math Freund 704 787 724--2215 Irwin Moody, who hails from our neighborhood village of Wauconda, had quite a distinction in the Mississippi Valley loop this summer, where he was playing ball with Dubuque. Moody led the league in batting, with a .385 percentage, despite the fact that he is employed as a pitcher. His pitching record wouldn't set the world on fire though, for he hurled in fourteen games and won three, while losing six for a ,338 average. Notre Dame met Carnegie Tech, supposedly the greatest team on the American gridiron this fall, if sports writers are to be believed, and they weren't defeated by three touchdowns either, as their own coach had predicted. Instead they turned the tables as most everyone knows. This March' mont Schwartz who helped to turn the tide by his brilliant work in most every department of the game, spent many a summer night right here in old McHenry. He was employed in Waukegan and drove over here most every week-end. There is an interesting story connecting Joe Barbian and this same Schwartz, but it wouldn't be right with Joeand one other to relate it here. A few curious readers have ques» tiorifed my Teason for not attempting to forecast the results of the big football games as most of the amateur sports writers do. One reason is that I get to see but very few of the games and mast rely on newspaper reports, and you all know how unreliable they are, and thus it is meresy guesswork. The other and perhaps the more important of the two, is the fact that recently a well known writer of authority mentioned this practice as "the lowest possible form of amusement that sports writers can possibly exercise." Marengo comes to McHenry nert Saturday afternoon to engage the local high's football squad in a county league battle. Nothing much depends on the outcome for the locals except that they are more than anxious to show their loyal fans that they can play the game and play it hard enough to win. They are trailing the county list at present, "but are going to make it hot for the visitors or know the reason why. La*t 'Saturday this same local eleven, that hadrit scored a touchdown in a regular game all season, stepped out in the second half after being two touchdowns behind at the end of the first, and pushed across a counter and almost had another, in fact they came close enough to have it measured by inches, but just lacked enough so that it didn't count. "Encouraged by this showing they are out to win their game with Marengo Saturday. a* iramtY SATTTEDAT ATTXRKOON Elgin R Squad Has Hard Ttiae Defeating Locals At Elgin Saturday, 14 to 6. . McHenry High takes on its old rival of the gridiron, Marengo, at the local field next Saturday. If last Saturday's improvement in the team is again repeated the Marengo lads from the west end of the county are in for a good hard struggle. Especially so if the home crowd turns out and shows the lads that McHenry is behind them, win or lose. In the last game the local boys showed McCracken that they had plenty of fight by shoving over a touchdown in the last period after lagging at the half, 14 to 0. And not content with that showing they came right back and assailed the Elgin B. sqrad with a very determined attach that fell short of another counter by inches. Capt. Anderson was the individual star of the game. Marengo has been one of the up and coming teams of the county this year, as they have been in the past.

The decorations of the day were in keeping with the Hallowe'en season and the little guests were delighted with the attractive birthday cake, an important feature of the refreshments. The guests were Mr. and Mrs. John Aylward and Jean Conway of Elgin, Mrs. George Adams and children, Billy.and Kathrine, of Ringwood, Mrs. Joe Weber and children.

Watch him in Saturday's game. • Woodstock will be the scene of the principal game in the county when the league leading Harvard squad will accompany Coach Horne to the scene of the battle with their sharers of first place, Woodstock's own Blue and White, tutored by Coach Larry Dale. Both teams are undefeated so far in the league schedule, though Woodstock lost their first game of the season to DeKalb in a nocturnal contest. Harvard has won five straight and enjoys the unique distinction of having their goal line uncrossed. Whether or not Dale's men can rally sufficiently to pack their full punch is rather doubtful, but the boys are young and will ing and should recuperate after their hard battle with the Lakers last week end. dred high honor went to Mrs. May Powers and in bunco the prize was awarded to Mrs. Clarence Whiting. A box of candy was won by Miss Etta Powers. Following the games a delicious lunch was served by Mrs. Jacob Thies and her committee. PERSONALS • * / Mrs. Ben Diets was a Chicago visitor Wednesday.
