I--1 There's some fun in store if cold * leather comes and covers Pistakee. florse racing en the ice is old in these parts, but never before have we seen a horse to favorably compare with "The Shadow." --1-- This phantom racer is said to be the only trotter with a record of 2:08%. --« -- But, get this. "Unique' 'is the word given -to us in describing how this horse was driven across the country without the aid of a rein. \ --1-- "The Shadow" (if our story is correct) left Seattle, Washington, on November 15 and arrived at Pistakee 4$ay on Christmas Day. (They didn't flay what year he left Seattle.) --IMessrs. Shell and Schlits have gone to a great expense to give local horse lovers one of the greatest*treats of tfceir lives. Betting odds on "The Shadow" have< fliade him a great favorite since it has keen hinted that Floyd Coleman, a • horseman of note, may guide this beautiful specimen of horseflesh over the course. t 1 ' Hebron's green-clad basketeers .are - ^|gain drawing more than a passing mention throughout the state. --i- • Waterman nosed out Hebron 84 to IB last Saturday night in the DeKalb tournament after a tough battle. --I-- . Had Hebron been up on their free .throw shooting, they could easily have Cjeome home with victory. Making only ^7 out of 20 free tosses cost victory. --I-- We note a glaring lack of skill in tfie free throw department in watch- Hbg high school games. Certain players never seem to get set on one parr ticular stance or style of shooting. I , We have seen several players in the " last few years miss on aff underhand . sihot and change on the next try to an, overhand shot. --I-- Practice in this department of the game would pay big dividends. Confidence means a Jot in these tense moments, but a fellow can't have confidence unless he has mastered and practiced hard on a certain way of shooting. --I-- Amid all the holiday confusion let's got forget that the county basketball tournament starts tonight (Thursday) ft the new Woodstock gym. --I-- While Hebron ranks as a favorite jitid Huntley rates high, it might be wise idea not to sell the up and •Miming Woodstock team short. • --•-- McHenry meets Huntley in the 9:30 Sme.

Two series went like this: 175-185-143 -- 503 and 197 - 204 - 172 -- 573. That makes a total of 1,076 pins in two series. We'd want a fellow like that on our team. --I-- Every now and then somebody hits 'a top hand in cards, but seldom do they hit like George Bohr did recently. Here it is: A perfect hand in hearts-- 12 hearts and the nines (double) for a 1,520 meld. We think Mrs. Bohr Mid Bill Pries, Sr., will swear to this hand. , "Put and Take" carried an artiela, **«k tdHai of a great Wood- •tod: football team -in which Tom ISolger was a Star lineman.

Practice for the teams will be held Friday night and the boys are expecting to go through a good workout. --»-- Holidays seem to have most of us mixed on days and dates and we find a few who have forgotten that the county tournament opens tonight.
