The McHenry Warriors won their ( fifth straight game when they traveled to Woodstock to play St. Mary's eleven last Friday, October the thirteenth. The day certainly proved very unlucky for the home team, as the Warriors trounced the Saints 53-0. McHenry received the kick off and began marching up the field.

As ever, JOE Qear friend Joe: Glad to hear from yon. It hardly ••ems possible that you fellows are ,-so far from home. Remember when a trip to Chicago was considered football and baseball player in the history of the big leagues?" There are more than a few who belong in this contest. First of all, there was Christy Mathewson, Bucknell's star back and the Giants' in G o l d w y n ' s "The Wonder Man," with Danny Kaye. Hall, now 24, with an honorable medical discharge from the army because of bad eyesight, believes that the "Dead End Kids" pictures not only touched off a wave of juvenile delinquency whose reverberations are still distressing the nation, but he has just learned how the Nazis converted the series into anti-American propaganda.

It's an old j ord wa$ overshadowed by his base- * but as documentations showing the degradation of youth in the "decadent democracies," especially America. Of his connection with Sidney Kingsley's stage play "Dead End," and the picture made from it, Hall is thoroughly proud. The play and picture spotlighted the evils of the city slums and in many communities have been responsible for the instigation of great model housing cfistoTn l ball fame. And no one can overlook You may have been reading about Mickey Cochrane, a triple-threat Mac's footfball team this year. He performer of high merit at Boston kick and recovered it behind the goal line for the first score of the game.: The conversion was good and the score remained 7-0 at the end of the first quarter. In the second period, a sustained drive by McHenry was concluded when Weingart went around left end for the second score. The kick was' crood, making the score 14-0. j Again gaining possession of the j ball McHenry drove to the twenty; yard line, from wfiere Crouch's pass to "Bud" Miller was good for a' touchdown. A pass thrown from a! kick formation by McCracken to j j "Bud" Miller netted the extra point. The score stood 21-0 at the half. Shortly after the third quarter, Bob Miller, behind excellent blocking, ran around right end from mid-field for another score. The kick hit the top of hte upright and bounded through, making the score 28-0. Weingart and "Bud" Miller each ran for touchdowns to conclude the scoring in the third period bringing the score to 41-0. In the last quarter with almost the entire second team playing, Weingert passed to Whiting for a touchdown. As the first team went in again with three minutes remaining to play, Bob Miller, who played almost the entire game in place of Paul Bonslett, who is out with a leg injury, interecepted a desperate St. Mary's pass and ran to their ten yard line.

You know, a bank stickup, and various other illegal enterprises. He believes that, properly handled, the Dead End Kids might have been a constructive force rather than an evil one to American youth. "The public went for the kids' personalities," he declared. "They were all vital--each Dead-Ender was a character. They coul<Thave been shown as a typical gang of good American boys -- rough, ready, adventurous, but basically sound, and certainly not vicious." It BecMred Hall believes the first misstep for the Dead End Kids was their publicity. While playing in New York they were acclaimed by a national magazine as genuine products of the east side slums of New York. The legend followed them here and grew sturdier with each repetition. The facts, says Hall, are quite different. The six original Dead- Enders were Hall himself (Dippy), Leo Gorcey(Spit),Billy Halop(Tommy), Gabriel Dell (T. B.), Bernard Pansley (Milty), and Bobby Jordan (Angel). Hall's father was an pir-conditioning engineer, and Hunt* was in radio and vaudeville before he went on the stage.

Dick missed a few games, wisely deciding that a ; football line was no place for aj fellow with a boil on Ms tieck., j the top of his backswing. This gives him a closed face. He has a solid strong right leg bearing his weight, and what is more important--a restricted pivot on his backswing. "His head is at all times back of the ball, which accounts for his body being back of the sphere until the hit and his hands move on to complete a smooth follow through. With this type of swing he can rarely push the ball off line. If any error occurs, he will hook.

"The kids arrived here," said Hall, "with a ready-made reputation for toughness, so we tried to act the part, and succeeded. We couldn't step out of character when, the whistle blew." Old enough now to know better, and with a keener sense of social responsibility, Hall voices the contrite conviction that the "Dead End Kids" on the screen created among American youth a horde of bullies, exhibitionists, vulgarians and just plain brats. Like Douglas Edgar "Nelgon's backswing reminds me of Douglas Edgar, whom you remember well. In my opinion Edgar was the finest iron player of all time.
