They play 'em close--win or lose. This time (Friday night oil the home floor) the home rn lost to Lake Forest W to in overtime. \ It was a great night tor the Lake Forest Olsons. Ted, a big fellow, scored 23 points besides controlling far too many rebounds ft* McHenry's purpose. Edward, a small, flashy fellow who was listed on the J. V. squad, came through like an eld trooper in the final quarter and in the overtime. The game was close all the way • With the lead changing hands often and nobody gaining more than a 4-point advantage at toy time. The importance of free throws In present day basketball was ••ver more evident. Counting the ; ifi' shots, McHenry missed 22 wbile Lake Forest missed 16. Ability to stop Ron Ford probably won the game for the visitors. Ron didn't sink a field goal all night, but did come through with the free throw that sent the game into extra time. /"Don Blake played up to his ex- .pttted brand of basketball in the first half and left a gap when he fouled out late in the game. The Warriors gained possession of the Dall in the overtime, but lost it before being able to hit the basket. Ted Olson sank a shot fw the visitors, then Edward cduldn't be content with a control game. He drove in from the side and made his shot. The fact that Artie Barbier dropped in a shot for the Warriors only served to keep the game close. Time was running out. Lake Forest (ST) B F P S. Olsorf 5 0 4 T.

The thrill of the year, as voted many of the nation's leading iportswriters and broadcasters, Was Carl Brskine's achievement setting a new World's Series *fccord of 14 strikeouts as he pitched the Dodgers to a *3 to 2 Victory over the Yankees.

It was that big Schulz who finally put the game away after a poor showing the first three quarters. The demon statisticians recorded that he took 6 shots in the fourth quarter and made 6 baskets. , Ron Ford came back from the disabled list to look like himself as he scored four baskets in the first period. He was slipping away from Schulz so Coach Ahern assigned Wilbrandt to take the task of stopping those hook shots. That did it--although Ron wound up with a 16-point total. Ihrke did some fancy shooting for Hebron to keep his team in striking distance until Schulz found himself. There were many bright spots in the Warrior play, but the team play at the finish wasn't too good. The boys found too many ways of giving the ball away, especially on looping passes that were intercepted.

This prospect is held up by the recent pig crop report, and by the outlook for consumer buying power. For 1954 as a whole, the mar- j ket supply 6f hogs will be no j wUuId be six per cent. Govem- * ment-^ officials, figuring more conservatively, suggest that the increase will be only 4 per cent. But either 4 or 6 per cent la a '4* 1M» Five effects of# any decliner ta oooauxner buying powar. The 1954 spring pig crop probably will be 4 to 6 per cent larger than that of 1983, and market supplies will show a similar moderate increase next fall. The government report showed that farmers expected to breed 6 per cent more sows for spring farrowing than they did a year ago. If farmers save aa many pirs per litter as the record 6.8 thfet they saved last spring, the rease in total pigs saved more than in 1953; maybe less. Here is the prospect season by season. For the next turn' weeks market supplies will c6me from the late 1953 spring pig crop, and that was about 12 per cent smaller than for the previous year.' v • r • • • For the six months, February through July, market supplies will be h to 10 per cent less than they were a year earlier. This expected cutback grows out of the 9 per cent reduction in pigs farrowed during : the. paat summer and fall.; Of itself, the prospective reduction of 8 tc 12 per cent In market supplies for the next six to eight months would raise prices by 12 to 18 per cerit over year earlier figures, Tho priceraising tendency of smaller tupplies may more than offset the small increase. Standing alone, such an increase in supplies would tend to reduce prices of hogs by § to 10 per 'Cent.. ; . * * Storage stocks of pork are low for this time of the year. At the beginning of D3cember, pork in storage totaled 266 million pounds. These stock were 17 per cent less than those of a year before, and 19 per cert less than the average for ten years. The reduced supply of hogs in prospect for 1954 will go far toward maintaining prices even though consumer demand slips a little. The year 1953 was the best in history for the American consumer.
