This was proved in the first quarter shortly after the game had opened with the MAACS swamping the basket with an avalanche of well-directed shots that ran the score up to 18-5 at the end of the first quarter. From then on the contest was no thriller with the only question being I the final score. j The five who started the game for the winners seemed to have their eyej on the basket and after Fay had started them off with three under the baskets shots, the rest started in and sank them from all over the hall.

Charlie has one of those teams with him that seem to always come through. If one man falls down the others come along and carry them through. This week it was Eddie Thennes who rose to the heights and turned in a very neat total of 628 to lead the group. George Weber wasn't far behind with 609, but he fell down in his last game. The^e two men enabled the league leaders to pile up a new high total if 2,708, at the same time taking three straight from George Justen's gang. In the other match the tailenders ander Ed Smith took two out of three from the Weber tribe, Ed himself leading the group with 541. This is the first time this year that,, Ed's bunch has been out of the cellar and it now behooves the other three teams to look out as the taste of fresh air was mighty sweet to them.

The MAACS are more than anxious to show that their followers were right when they believed the home team to be the best in the tournament and will try their best to continue their unbroken string of victories. Friday night the boys will journey to Hampshire, where they will engage in a double-header with the lads from John Dreymiller's home town. The MAACS have joined a league that has just been organized and will start play January 7. The people of McHenry should feel honored that their boys have been asked to join, as they are at one end of the circuit and it will be rather out of the way for some of the other teams.

A team, under the name of Jewel Tea, has been playing near by towns with only one or two of the "original" Jewel Tea players, but the MAACS have the original Jewel Tea squad that took the cup last year at the district meet.
