Feared from the very beginning because they had spilled Harvard, 6 tp 0, the Lake Geneva team proved to 6e no easy nut to7 crack. But, however, with a^little better judgment on the picking of the plays, McHenry might have won. They outfought Lake Geneva, though greatly outweighed in the line, and it was this fine fight that enabled them to stay in the game .

Mareftgo always'- has had a first rate team, that ranks with the larger schools around here. It wasn't until last year that MCHS ever boasted a victory over the Marengo lads, but now thai the ice is broken they're goinj^ to be right in the fight to keep them down. Coach Bunn will bring a determined group to even up that stinging defeat of last season that still is rankling his feelings. '... . - " , McHenry was trailing 6-0 when the end of the first half neared. Lake Geneva then intercepted a pass and ran 50 yards for another touchdown to take a commanding lead",' but--McHenry wasn't out of the fight even then. They rallied to^score once and then failed on two ofner occasions to put the hall over with the tying score. It was a real game and full of the old fight that makes football the .game .it is.' \'i** Rick Vycital was the star of tfe« game for McHenry with far more than his sh&re of the tackles. He also caught three passes for some nice gains, besides scoring the only touchdown on a similar play. Walkington, playing beside Vycital, was in there all the time. Bob Martin subbed for Beckenbaugh and did a good job of it? George Frisby, the light haired arid light weight end, did such a nice job while he was in the game that he will get a chance to start the" Marengo game tomorrow. The boys are '/banged and bruised a little, but there is nothing serious and they jill expect to see action in tomorrow's game. Lay has a sweet pair of black eyes and Al Boehlke has a bad knee, but it is responding, to treatment and will be fit for action soon. Come out and see them sometime, as there are bufc, three home game9 left. Those who saw action last week against the Wisconsin Lakers are- Hughes fb, Johnson hb, Howard hb, Wolf and Peterson qb, Vycital, Marshall and Frisby, ends; Walkington and Boehlke, tackles, Beckenbaugh, Justen and Martin, guards, and Leander Lay, center. A scrappy bunch! "What ho! What ho! this fellow is dancing mad. He hath been bitten by a Tarantula." That's what Poe wrote in his "Gold Bug" and it is the samj* with every Scout because on Saturday at 11:00 o'clock we'll be off for the now "famed destination." Instead of being bitten by a spider the gang has been stirred by the Scoutmaster's announcement of the first day hike of the year. It's just a chance of a life time, boys, to pass tests. First and second class cooking are examples, for instance. Just think of those eggs between the sizzling slices of bacon. Look them over in that handbook of yours and have them ready to pass when you get out there. Remember, there are plenty of fellows to help you; all you have to do is to brush the cobwebs from your book,.. Scouts! you are in a contest! It's i like this. The amount of points are based on the number of persons attending the meetings and number passing tests. Streamers for the troop flag are the reward. Let's take one and put it on our troop flag.

Last week the largest crowd of the season turned out and just to show their appreciation, the boys gave them the best show ever staged in McHenry. No screen star ever gave a wider scope^ of emotions than those prize fighters gave to their crowd. Dynie Engeln started it with a splendid power show in the first bout. He almost had his man in the first round, sending him reeling on several occasions, but he didn't know how to follow up to the greatest advantage and had to be content with a decision in three rounds. In the next fight j you felt sorry for the little Spanish lad as he was a splendid blocker, but ! didn't know how to lead and lost the j decision to young Fairchild from El- I gin. Thfn Dick Brilj of Richmond alrinost squashed Barnstable's nose all over his face. That was tragedy, but it wasn't as bad *as it looked as his nose wasn't broken after all. Brill was awarded a technical KO.: And then Spoo, who used to live in Augustburg, provided some of the neatest comedy ever seen in a ring outside of Al Schacht. Ellsworth fought Tucker from Elgin and had the fans in one spasm of laughter after another throughout the-fight. And he could take , care of himself, too. Don't miss his iiext appearance. a headlines After the intermission, Bennett of .Waukegan worked hard'to get the decision in a neat bout. He's a real fighter and clean as they, make 'em. Then came the five-round semi-windup with Joey Menisci taking a vie • tory from the «>lder Fairchild of Elgin. Fairchild is a hard'Worker, but Menix'i had just a little bit too much for him. ' Menisci received many a • left „ jab to the fact-,: bjjt Fairchild couldn't fight off his rushes und got the worst of a hard fought battle. Here's what crowd looks like when watcKiWCeT^ Allen King's daring act with a cageful of lions and tigers at Live Power Show. In the windup, Fred Altom of, Elgin, erased any further claims Irish A hern of Waukegan may have had to a. return bout by knocking him out in thethird round. A week ago Ahern was the victim of a technical knockout, but claimed he had -been robbedi Now • he knows better, Alton went into the I fight with a bum right hand injured :n the football, but Ahern cracked him one ill the second and he soon forgot it. He used it to put Ahern away-ill the third and it worked all right. Although the Chicago World's Fair is gearing its close, Standard Oil's Live Power Show, one of the most popular features, is still playing to overflow audiences. More than a million men, women, and children have been thrilled to date by Allen King's 400 performances with a cageful „of»lions and tigers^ and amused by Estrella Nel^ son's trained elephants. Nearly three million have passed through the animal hall between acts to look at the big collection of jungle "live powfcr" in pen and cages. Birth of six lion cubs at the show in July provided * highly popular attraction. Space in front of the cages where mother lionesses and cubs are on display has been continuously crowded since they arrived. 'Allen King,- "maestro of the Red Crown Cage of Fury," has hung up" a world's record for number of performances in one season. No other trainer has ever worked so many lions and tigers so many times in so short a period. When it was announced that his shows would go on three and four times a day there were many predictions that he would not last through the summer. But except for one brief interruption, steel-nerved Allen has not missed a show. The one break ocqjjred In June, when he was-in the hospital for several days^after beiQg clawed by a male lion. .. • Popularity-of the show with Fair crowds has b^en shown by attendance even on bad days- Thqpsands sweltered under the sun in the open amphitheatre when heat records were Elgin turned out enmasse for the fight as did Richmond and that vicinity. In fact, McHenry had about the poorest representation of any of the surrounding towns. Chick Breen of Elgin, one of the judges, plans on starting fights down in the Watch. City once more.
