It should be stopped before the idea spreads. It's like this -- "Two- Ton Tony" is preying on men who go downtown of an evening and f.nd it just a little, late before they think of getting home. "t . "Two-Ton" tells the boys that going home with this "honey" stuff is old stuff. Sez racketeer "Two-Ton," "Bring the little woman a pint of ice cream and 111 guarantee everything •will, be O.K."

Joe Jackson was tion. Mr. Jack Hoag, the father of Ion th.e m5>und for the Colts while Jim two of our Scouts, taught us how to I l-ai'kin did the hurling for the Shamdo splicing with ropes. We learned j r°cks. George Jackson led the attack how to braid two ropes together, and j Johnsburg getting two doubles and how to form an eye splice. Splicing j drjvinK >n four runs Both teams played without their regular shortstops, Dick Conway of the Shamrocks and Howard Freund of the Colts. The Colts took the lead in the early innings of the game and kept it to the finish. The Shamrocks got off to a slow start, but hope to round into form soon. is a very useful knowledge, because there are many times when a long rope is needed, and it would not be practical to knot two ropes together. Such a case would be when a rope must pass through a pulley. Then, too, a splice is a much more permanent method of uniting two rope ends, since there is no danger of slipping. After we had mastered most of the details of the splices that Mr. Hoag showed us, we went to the room where our Troop machinery is kept to receive a different type of instruction. The aim of Mr. Glenn Peterson, our' E- Meyers, lb handicraft leader, has been to givejG. Jackson, c some instruction on the use of our ma- j D.

They juit want to come! --I--• We can advance two fair to middlin' reasons. First, our school evidently handles the meet- properly. Second, arid perhaps of greatest importance, the other schools must like our course. --I-- While the McHenry team doesn't rate with the larger schools entered as it has the past few years, there .are at least two boys apt to come through with low scores. Richard Justen shoots a nice game. Earl Smith, the peppery little quarterback you ijhave seen on the gridiron, is another better than average golfer. Earl turned in a 42 this week. --I-- George and Joe Jackson, Donald Meyers, Bob Schultz, Francis Schmitt «nd Dick Williams make up the bal< a nee of the squad. Five out of the group named will be entered in the district meet. Our boys beat Woodstock last Saturday and have good intentions of doing the same at Barrington this week. --I-- There will be a fifty cent entry fee in this meet, with funds used for medals and trophies. . --I-- We dont expect McHeniy to win any trophies, but one never can tell.
