REEDMEN COMETHROUGH WITH LAST-MINUTE WIN OVER GRANT, 28 TO 27 In a last minute, story-book finish ,< the Reedmen became Redmen Tuesday night and went on the warpath to pull a basketball game out of the fire. Score: McHenry 28, Grant 27. McHenry ran up against a speedy outfit in the Grant team--a team that | picked up steam as it went along i Playing a game hard, the visitors! committed eighteen fouls that proved costly. Three of their men were out on fouls during the final minutes. McHenry boys were not far behind in the foul totals with fourteen. Howard, Jackson and Meyers skinned by with three apiece. The local team teemed to have the situation in hand during the first half, due in part to Grant's inability to find the net. The Reedmen seemed to bog down in the third quarter. Donald Meyers, McHenry's leading scorer, entered the game in tnis period, but didn't warm up until the last quarter, when he added seven valuable points to the cause. In a wild, last-minute scramble Stilling pushed in a shot that turned the trick. Fox Lake was deprived of a chance for a tie score as one of their men stepped into the circle to spoil a free throw count.

The game ended 28 to 27 in McHenry's favor. --I--- There are so many 'ifs' in sports, but it is a fair bet that the game would have ended in a tie had not one of the Grant .boys stepped into the circle while his teammate shot a free throw. • The referee called it as ImAetr it, but Grant followers were prettymuch upset about the decision. --IClose games are hard for any of us to lose, but we have lost our share. --I-- We haVe always maintained that few games are won or lost by the officials. But, we do hate to see good players go out on four fouls. --I-- Rule makers change anything and everything so it seems they could raise-the ante to five fouls. --I-- Since officials have the authority to put 'dirty" players out of a game for deliberate fouls that might cause injury, we feel that the game could be held to check unde* a Ive-foul limit. . * •, --1-- They call 'em close nowadays.

Palm of Victory The palm is a symbol of victory MJd was adopted by the early Christians to represent the triumph of the faithful over the enemies of the soul. It is the special badge of martyrs, and the Congregation of Rites. 168d. regarded the representation of a palm on a catacomb tomb as proof that a martyr was interred there, but this was later declared untenable.
