A great girl! The old hitching posts are just a memory, but a ridin' boss has been tied to the lamp post in front of Matt'B Tavern frequently this winter.

SPONSORSHIP or ESSAY CONTEST CO-OPS BEAT MARENOO THERE AND PALATINE HERE IN PAST WEES " CO-OPS BEAT MARENGO A better-than-average size crowd saw the Co-ops turn in a 52 to 39 victory over Palatine A. C. here last Sunday night. * With Joe Jackson sinking five baskets in the first quarter, the home team went into a first period 19-11 lead. The Co-ops continued to lead throughout the game, holding a 32-25 edge at the half and 40-29 margin at the end of three quarters, ers. The game had its rough moments, but the veteran ref, Melvin Stuessy, kept the situation in hand by calling a total of 33 fouls in the game. A third period slump, in which they scored only 6 points to 18 for the opposition, told the story of a 51 to 36 setback for the C. O. F. team in the preliminary game. The home team had 16 fouls compared to 4 for Palatine's second squad. BOWLING NOTES The McHenry Business Men's Association had a lively meeting last Thursday which lasted till the Elgin (rated No. 1 team in tho state) and Dundee (rated No. 10) are looked upon as sure bets to battle or breeze through to the finals in the Woodstock Tourney.
