This was one of the best matched games that the Millermen* have played thus far, with [the score being tied quite often jail through the game. When the horn sounded, ending the first quarter the, score was all tied up at 13 to 13. The porkies picked up a 12 point lead at half time, but a poor third quarter on the part of the Porkies brought the score to a tie of 36 to 36 when the quarter ended. The strong determination of S^-ed Meyer and his Forester co-workers . are working like all Rfct out this week to make the Anal day of their" tournament the best ever. Games are sure to be good as the weaker teams have fallen by the wayside. McHenry has i& big heavy weight* team in there and Johnsburg has a good looking Senior division group fighting for honors.

Next Sunday the going should*- be tough all the way." In the curtain opener last Sunday, St. Raphael's Juniors swept over St. Mary's No. 2 Juniors 52 to 11, St. Raphael's continued to show strength, that has been, evident in tournament play, with a 35 to 24 win over the St. Gregory Rangers. Ray Beach scored 19 points for St. Nick's in an easy 49-16 win over St. Mary's No. 1 juniors. The next game was a honey. Aurora Seniors edged out a 41- 40 decision over St. Raphael. Scoring was well-spread over both lineups. Sherry, of St. Gregory, scored •21 points in leading his teapn to a 41-22 victory over St. John's Juniors. A Scrappy One Thp next game brought on quite a scrap. St. Anne's Moline Seniors came from behind to beat St. Mary's 41-39. John Bolger scored £2 points for the losers. A couple of the Moline boys enlivened the action with threatened fisticuffs, but cooler teammates and peacemaker Harold Schmitt kept the situation well in hand. Johnsburg's Seniors .looked plenty good in a 45-38 win dver St. Gregory, but had a hustle all the way Shavin Post Drum and Bugle Corps showed why they have won many honors. Local buton twirlers and members of Boy Scout Troop 161 pleased the crowd. We never know which Weber is playing which musicmaker, but it is tops all the way: Schedule for Sunday: John has been a great play- \2 noon ~ Juniors--St. Nick!s, ntaHer all ^year and finished up*Aurora vs* St Gregory's, Chiwith the leading scorers.

Dick Gibbs again took high scoring honors with f5 poirits to his credit. This gives him a total of 86 points in, 4 games. Glen Peterson, who did some fine shooting and a very fine job of his dofensive work, ranked second with 14 points. Lloyd Freund had 12. Dan Sheenan a new man on the team played the full game and ended up with 9 points. Jack Justen had 5 and Frank Draffhorn another new man had 4. Jerry Gibbs and Dick Stolzke also new men, went scoreless in the game. The boy's seem to look a little better every time they play and should be rolling along fine, come the end of the season. The Millermen are idle again next Sunday, but will play Townsends Chevies in the local gym on the 22nd of thiB month. This ^jlate was Set aside to play Wauconda, but a change has been made in the schedule and it is expected that the^ Porkies will play Wauconda some time before the original date.

The' Mid-States 4 attained the coveted crown Qf International Champions qf the Society for the Preservation ft Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in America, Inc.; at Buffalo in June, 1949. Organized in 1943 while employed at Bell A Howell Co., they won third place in the Illinois District Contest. In 1947, with their present tenor, they •took home the bronze third place International Championship medal. In Oklahoma City, in 1948, they traded in their bronze medals for second place silver medalions and in June, 1949, in an unqualified "hands down' de-. clsion, they went on the 'gold standard'. This quartet has become well known for its ability to combine hilarious, mad-cap comedy with the more serious types of barbershop ballads. Recently they won the Arthur Godfrey Talent Scout Show and they have records available under the London label. Tour Far East On June 20, 1951, ttitf^id- States 4, accompanied by Jerry Beeler, then President of S.P.E.- B.S.Q.S.A.., Inc., left for a five week tour of the Far East Command, which included . three weeks in Korea, one, week in Japan and one week in transit. They travelled 24,000 miles to sing a total of 33 shows for 61,- 450 men in' the Armed Forces. They flew in one motor, two motor, four motor ' airplanes, helicopters and rode in tanks, jeeps, trucks, ambulances, buses and automobiles, the latter very rarely. They ' travelled, literally the whole front line area, from east to west, were at one time three miles in, front of. the front lines, and gave one performance 200 yards behind the front lines. They left one area lMs hours before it was heavily strafed ' by enemy aircraft performed one show in a field where six box mines were subsequently discovered, and drove (by mistake!) over a bed of hand grenades. It was nothing unusual to do a whole show to the accompkniment of large field artillery pieces, never knowing whether the shells were coming or going. During their tour they visited two corps headquarters, seven divisions, ttiree air fields, two evacuation hospitals and one field hospital and are the proud recipients of awards presented to them by Col. Stevens in charge of Special Services of the Far East Command and certificates from General Van Fleet, Commanding General of the Eighth Army in Korea.

Let a movie maker showfas little a> 50 feet of film ^herein, a plumber, doctor, dentist or bricklayer uses the wrong tool and he will get a stack of mail. That's why hardly a .movie is made these days without at least one technical adviser, and sometimes three or four. In "A Streetcar Named Desire," one scene briefly shows a machine shop where some welding is going on. That was the signal, then, for Warner Brothers to call in Arthiir Johnson, a veteran welder. He went on the pay roll as technical adviser to be sure all scenes pertinent to his craft were correct. % Plumbers are the most sensitive craftsmen, according to studio executives, and next come doctors and dentists. That's why you seldom see Jokes in pictures any mpre about plumbers forgetting their tools, overcharging, hooking gas lines to water or co}d water to hot.
