Harry CLASS BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT TO B* PLAYED THIS WEEK Girls of the local Community High School will play off the class basketball tournament this week. The first games will be played Monday night after school, Juniors vs. Freshmen and Seniors vs. Sophomores. The tournament is a doublf elimination tourney, in which a team may be defeated once and still win the tournament. There is, as usual, a strong rivalry between the Juniors and Seniors. And this year there is also quite a feud between the Juniors and Sophomores. The two t^ams have been about equal during practice. Teams are coached by members of the boys' team whom they elect. A game will be played every after noon next week, with the finals Friday at 4 p.m. Anyone interested is in» vited to attend thfcse games. Members of the girls' teams: . SENIORS: Mary Jane Laures, Altai Mae Denman, Jane Durland, Cather ine Coyne, Catherine Rothermel, Rita Weingart, Shirley Colby, Delores Wagner. Coach, Gerald Miller.) JUNIORS: Ethel Althoff, Anita Althoff, Betty Buss, Esther Colby, Pat Phalin, Marjorie Duker, Laura Den man, Betty Mae Orr, Mable Bolger. (Coach, Richard Freund.)

Wallace, Marengo center, dropped ia nine baskets and a free toss to lead his team. Every man in the visiting! lineup ei*ered the scoring column, Knox was back in a starting roll® and led his team with 12 points. Mit ler followed with 8 points. (MaybiS they had more, but the score sheeli didn't say so.) ~ ' Laures dropped a eouple of l<pg shots and added two free throws to i the cause. "Nickie" Freund completed the scoring with four points. Marengo displayed plenty of "get* up-and-get-there" stuff throughout ths whole game. Being a husky team, they put plenty of drive into the game. Our own McHenry boys showed better form than followers have seeji since early season, but were unable ti ; stem the tide of defeat. Bobby Stilling, man-sized center* and Donald Howard each scored lit points in bringing about a 33 to 2f win for the second team. Weber, Adams, Weideman, Smith, Jackson an# Conway saw action for McHeni> Kugath led Marengo's seconds wHai seven baskets. Several weeks ago there was a picture in The Plaindealer of the "McHenry Greens," ^diich was taken some years after they first organised.
