Some were not so close But, all were hard-fought as spirit carried the losing teams at a never-say-die ,>ace right up t6 the final wihistle. Fraternal ism ind good fellowship was in the air. Bujt, pnee the game started, each te£m showed real competitive spirit. They were out to win --s; Itt' a sportsmanlike manner. Due to conflict in tournaments, O.L.G.C. of Aurora was unable to send forth its best strength as they fell before St. Mary's Count Junior team, 46 to 10. Father McGowan, a great leader in local sports activities, coached the winner and ran in the smaller boys when the game was on ice. Father "Mac" had a lot of power, combining some of his own parish with Jim Doran's boys. Another tourney conflict is expected to break up this combination next Sunday. Dave Freund, Gene Stilling, Mark Vycital, Denny Conway, John Steinbach, Dick Hester, Jack Walsh, Mike Low and Jimmy Justen saw action. The second game saw the Holy Qhost five of Chicago pull away from a scrappy St. Raphael Chicago team 48 to 80 in the senior division. McCorten scored 25 points to lead the way. Johnshutg entered two teams in the junior division and the first one lost to St. Gregory 21 to 12. St. Gregory came right back in the Ranger division to swamp St. Nicholas of Aurora 43 to 14. The Aurora boys took a 7-5 lead in the first quarter, but the roof fell in during the second period. Some of the games were a bit on the lop-sided order at this stage, but that is to be expected in the first round of play. They will tighten up next Sunday. Another Johnsburg junior team took the floor and romped to a 52-13 win over St. Nicholas of Aurora. Johnsburg used the following players; J. Hiller, B. Oeffling, L. Hiller, B. Hiller, D. Schmitt, J. Smith, R. Smith and G. Diedrich. In the next game, the fans •aw Aurora's St. Nick rangers in a gfreat list h4lf comeback that all but upset St. John's of Johnsburg. It was a clasay JohnSburg team that piled up a 27-11 lead, in the first half. Man, how those St. Nick boys bounced back in the third quarter! Led by D. Morressy, they pressed hard and outscored Sit. John's 13 to 4. They closed the gap closer the first four minutes of the fourth period until a hard press brought fouls and gave Johnsburg points from the free throw line. This was a good one to watch. The final game of the evening brought out the heavyweights and a (dose battle. St. Joseph's of Elgin finally edged out O.L.G.C. of Aurora 39 to 35. Not more than one or two points separated theee teams until the final splurge by Elgin. It appeared that Elgin was doomed when Micklewitz, an outstanding performer, fouled out in the third period. However, Conrad took up the slack and finally put it away with four straight points from the free throw line. A couple of speedsters, DeGeeter and McHugh played a great floor game for Aurora, setting a fast paca all the way. our spacious gym - will be filled. . And let's give a hand to the school. That floor and the entire gym fairly sparkled. Showed good oare and made local people real proud as visitors swarmed in.

CRYSTAL LAKE WINS OVER WARRIORS IN REGIONAL TOURNEY Elgin high school's big team proved too strong for the Woodstock Blue Streaks in the opening game of the regional tourney at Crystal Lake Tuesday night, rolling up a 78 to 37 margin. A real battle took place in the second game of the evening when Antioch moved ahead in the last period to defeat Grant 54 to 51. The host 'team, Crystal Lake, ran into a determined McHenry Warrior five, but had too much heavy artillery for the undermanned Fulton squad. The score: 71 to 40.
