Saturday night found the tables reversed with St. Mary's being the victims on the home floor. Father Voet'a heavies put up a game fight and the McHen barely managed a 15-13 victory after the lights had pulled the expected by piling up a one-sided victory over the diminutive St. Mary's kids, 31-5. » Led by Deneen, Harvard was just ttx> much for the McHenry defense, the star forward getting eleven points all by himself. Thi MAACS LOSE ANOTHER OVERTIME TILT 38-33 A ten-point lead in the last quarter proved insufficient to provide victory for the MAACS in their annual tilt with the Skokie Reds of Winnetka and the latter, led by the Nelson brothers, tied the score just before the final gun and then went on to win in the five-minute overtime period. It is the second overtime defeat handed the locals in as many starts. Trailing 5-4 at the first quarter the MAACS stepped out just before, the half ended and scored four quick baskets with Fay and Whiting doing the shooting which gave the home boys a 15-11 lead at the intermission. The third quarter found the MAACS piling up their total while the Reds were quite submissive. With the score 25-14 the locals switched ... their s lineup and once more this Deneen is just; prove<i fatal.

He'll appreciate a visit from one and all. ing experience. Led by Kennedy and Strain, their star forwards, they quickly piled up the score until they had the game sewed up.

Only two games now separate these two teams Mid the Bolgers are going stronger than ever, having won six of their last nine games. After dropping the first game , of tjie conference season Ruby's Illinois ffftuad came back and beat Purdue, overwhelming favorites, in their weekencounter. Seems Ruby must have abandoned his short pass attack as ibost of the Illini baskets were made -from long distance- This must have pleased the veteran coach as he al St. Mary's found things slightly different and put up ouite a scrap after a scoreless third period found them relinquishing the lead to the winners. Davis and Frisby carried the brunt of the att^k for the locals while it was KreuWr's free throw with the iscore 14-13 that provided the final ppint of the §^me and made victory more certain. ^ The lights had an entirely new lineup on the floor to compete with the handicapped St. Mary's seconds who haven't enough men to form the, regular squad and have to draw on the eighth graders. All the youngsters on McCracken's squad got a workout and as the gun went off. The MAACS had tried their stalling, game during the latter part of the quarter but it just wouldn't work properly on the none too large floor and this proved their fatal move. ' In the overtime the Skokies started out with two quick baskets from the hole on tipoff plays, a play they worked all afternoon, due to the ability of Witt, their six-foot-four center, to control the tip. A defensive forward had been employed to stop this play for the greater part of the last half, but he seemed to have disappeared during the extra period. This week has been a busy week for the MAACS and the Ponies. Tuesday night the lights took two teams 61 to Lake Zurich to play Rev. Iron's I boys at the church gym while the 2 j MAACS journeyed to Libertyville to 0 participate in a charity event there. 31 They played the curtainraiser while 01 the Savoy Big Five of Chicago had 2 j been engaged to furnish the main at- 4 traction for the evening. Wednesday 1: night the boys traveled to Harvard 11 an<P met Fred Schulte's rgang. To- 0 night they travel to Waucojnda for their final game of the week before returning home for their regular Supday fracas. The Ponies continued their winning streak Sunday by taking the preliminary in an interesting game, 28-21. The game was close all the way and was in doubt until the final gun. The lead switched five times during the last half and this game alone worth the price of admissidli. -• SKOKIE REDS-- ^ ^ R. Nelson, f Frasor, f* M.

During the last few months the Post Ofiice department, after investigating advertisements, has put the vendors of many of these wonder-workers out of business, so far as using the mails is concerned, by issuing fraud orders. But the mail order doctor, boundless in his claims, is still functioning, the department believes. ~ • The usual procedure Is for a postoffice inspector to answer an advertisement, giving the symptoms of some chronia or incurable disease, or some disease thftt never existed. When the remedy is received it Is submitted to the proper government laboratory for, analysis and tests. Then comes the fraud order. But the business goes on in other channels and Its profits are evidenced by large sums spent in advertising. The Inspectors find most of the claims ridiculous. A southern "professor" was selling two ordinary pieces of zinc which he said had electrical qualities to cure hardening of the arteries, high blood pressure, heart trouble and most any other malady of man or beast. • "Another had a sure-fire remedy for tuberculosis, warned against exposlns one's self to fresh air and guaranteed a cure within Jen days. Powdered leaves of wood garlic to be taken "during a full moon," a necklace to core cancer and even sugar ptlls and plain drlnklng.water, to be taken a spoonful at a time, all have been found recently to have a continuing popular sale value In America.
