$ S--s.' -Cft- •* " V i j f * /K "SO I HEAR" by EARL R. WALSH M'HENRY WARRIORS BEAT ST. EDWARDS IN ONE SIDED GAME JOHNSBURG SCORES RCLOSE WIN OVER ICHMOND, 6 TO # NEWS ABOUT OUR SERVICEMEN You baseball fans can start figuring this one out. Can a run be scored in an inning after three outs? You can argue about it until next week and send in your answers to S. I. H. Before We start rambling on something or other, it might be well to report a story as it was reported to us last Saturday by a delegation from the sixth grade of St Mary's - St. Patrick's school. The boys reported just having finished a football game in which they beat the Public school sixth grade by the unbelievable score of 46 to 0. The boys wanted no mention of individual stars--just team play. We didn't get the story from the losers, but they must have some explanation! Bernie Peschke, popular tiwwrn operator at Lily Lake, put fat on his ribs the ojher day as he watched us try to pick up a nailed-down nickel near one of those one-armed bandits. A lot of effort for a fellow who doesn't bend down easily. The high school journalism class saves us a bit of effort this week by reporting the St. Edward's game in nice style. Read the report on this page. , ; •; • The game had our boys stirred for action. While the St. Edward's coach and his boys did not take McHenry lightly, a little opinion in the Elgin press was just enough to sting our team. The team had spirit that we hope will prevail throughout the season. Bonslett's speed impressed "Elgin followers. Henry Nell, subtsitute back, showed alertness in intercepting two passes that first hit stretched hands of receivers. (Editor's Note--The following account was prepared by the journalism class at M. C. H. S.) The McHenry Warriors extended their winning streak to three games,< when they trounced St. Edward's of Elgin, last Friday night by a score of 40-6. Although the prediction of "Chuck" Jacobs, well known Elgin sports writer, about a one-sided game proved correct, Elgin didn't come out on top. After receiving the opening kickoff, St. Edwards could gain nothing through McHenry's line, so they were forced to kick. Then with a variety of end runs and line plays, McHenry took the ball to St. Edward's four yard line, from where Bonslett plunged it over for the initial score of the game. The conversion was good and McHenry led 7-0. .7. Again receiving^the kick-off, St. Edward's wfove to midfield, where Biggings threw a ten yard pass to Lodge, the right end, who ran the remaining distance to the goal line. The attempted conversion flared off to the side, leaving McHenry in the lead 7-6. During the second quarter' McHenry passes clicked, with Murphy, Bonslett, and McCracken on the receiving ends, running for touchdowns. These three" touchdowns were highlighted by the catching of passes by "Bud" Miller, lanky left end of McHenry. The score at the half stood 26-6. During the third and fourth periods, Crouch and Bonslett drove through for touchdowns, bringing the final score to 40-6. McHenry's forward wall played well throughout the game, opening large holes in both sides of Jhe opposing line. The starting line-up for McHenry was B. Miller and W. Miller at ends, Lawson and Martin at tackles, Guzzardo and Schmitt at guards, and Kosti at center. In the backfield Bonslett and Murphy were at halves, McCracken at quarterback and Crouch at fullback.. Knaack, Whiting, Reed, Page, Cristy, Svoboda, Nell, Weingert, and Sales also saw considerable action in the contest. Next Friday night, Oct. 6, the Warriors will get a real test when they entertain the strong Belvidere eleven under lights at 7:45. Johnsburg scoredvtwo runs in/ the eighth inning on their home grounds last Sunday to break a tie and give them a 6 to 4 win over Richmond. Bud Miller fanned 12 batters and also contributed two hits, a single and triple, to the offense in leading his mates to victory. Connie Miller, on the mound for Richmond, allowed the hard-hitting Johnsburg team only 8 hits, but was the victim of 4 errors around the keystone sack. " Christensen's triple featured '•'» 8- run splurge for Richmond in the sixth which tied the score. In a revised lineup, Joe Freund, star catcher of another day, came out 6f retirement to handle the backstopping in handy fashion. JOHNSBURG--6 AB. R H Schaefer, If ... 8 2 0 A.

As a result, we were very much surprised "to find George on the streets of McHenry when we expected that he was on, his way overseas. On checking our mail for the past week we found the source of our misinformation,: which was a card sent from Camp1 Grant telling us of his being transferred. Evidently not only the weekly paper but alsp the various camps have difficulty in keeping up with the boys who are continuously on the move. At $ny rate, we are happy to hear from his family that George is no farther from home than Camp Ellis. . friends in the lake region w«re saddened this week to learn of the death of Lieut.

STRONG BELVIDERE ELEVEN PLAYS MCHS HERE FRIDAY NIGHT We liked Murphy's play, both on "offense and defense. And Weingart looks like a comer. Elgin showed up well in breaking through the middle of our line on a couple of occasions to smear our passer. They had a couple of good runners, too, but failed to show the class we expected. Their punting was not good. McHenry really has a tough gfcme coming up this Week. Belvidere will play here Friday night. That should be a real test for the team. "Hup" Smith is the golden-voiced announcer, giving you the plays at our home games. "Hup" is doing a nice job and the fans are kept milch better informed, through this tyftem, as to what is happening. There was some improvement last week in keeping the fans irom crowding onto the field. Fans are just asked to be good sports about his problem. They must realize that it means a world of difference both in calling plays and executing them. Programs, showing players' names and numbers proved very helppful. Isn't it terrible the way people are donating to the Democrats for campaign funds. My, my! Doesn't anyone ever slip a buck to the Republicans? Don't believe a word of that stuff that Glenny Wattles hands out about the manpower shortage. It gives him a chance to hire a couple of nice girls. Don't worry about "Mugsy"! TWENTY MORE MEN FROM BOARD TWO CALLED IN WEEK Coach McCracken is working hard with his MCHS football team this week in an effort to get them ready for what rates as the biggest assignment of the season. Belvidere's strong aggregation is coming to town on Friday night of this week. The home boys have won their three stafts this season and have had their goal line crossed only once, St. Edward's scoring in the first quarter "last Friday night. To give you some idea of Belvidere's strength, it is noted that they beat Harlem of Rockford. Harlem beat Marengo--And Marengo is considered plenty good. Advance dope is that Belvidere has three dash men from their track team playing in the backfield. That means that McHenry hadn't better let them shake those speedsters loose. While it is certain that all of the previous starters will see plenty of action for McHenry, a couple of changes are noted in the probable starting lineup. Svoboda is crowding hard for the right guard spot and Knaack, a big fellow lacking experience, is trying to make the grade at right end. Probable starting lineups: McHenry : Bud Miller LE I Lawson LT • Guzzardo LG Kosti C j Svoboda RG I Martin RT | Knaack RE ! McCracken (C»pt.)
