FAMOUS HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS AT CRYSTAL LAKE Tatum And Mates To Play Toledo Mercurys Nov. 3 Those merry madcaps of the basketball court -- the incomparable Harlem Globetrotters, whose exploits over 28 seasons constitute one of the most exciting chapters of all sports history -- are coming to Crystal Lake on Wednesday, Nov. 3, at 8 p.m. at the fieldhouse. Boasting another of their great lineups of superfb players and master showmerf, Abe Saperstein's talented Trotters will play the Toledo Mercurys in the 3200- seat fieldhouse. Saperstein rates this Trotter unit with the best of the 27 that lmve preceded it. with such stars as Tatum, Dukes and Robinson, the club is blessed with height, speed, deception, great shooting ability and all the ball-handling magic and comedy finesse for which Globetrotter teams are world renowned. ; „ This is the twenty-eighth season for the wonders of the basketball world. They entered the campaign in mid-October of 1954 with sportsdbm's most astonishing record of 4,770 victories against only 280 defeats. Last season alone, in ten and one-half months of activity, they won 423 games while dropping onlyt 7. This they accomplished by dividing their squad on several occasions and playing two different parts of the world at the same time. The season began with a second successive undefeated U.S.-Canada winter season of 169 games. While this was in progress a unit was dispatched to Australia, the Far East and other islands of the Pacific. This group captured 744 consecutive victories. The Australian phase marked the fulfillment of a Saperstein dream -- the playing of all six continents of the world. Following the regular schedule, the Trotters for the fifth successive year won the annual World Series of Basketball against the College All-Americans of the year, 15 games to 7, On a record-breaking transcontinental trek. Right after this, one unit was sent to South America for the third time and rolled up 33 victories in as many starts and another visited Europe for the fifth consecutive year a$d scored 76 successive victories. The group that went to South America returned home and de? feated the Chicago Brown Bombers in a series of games played in southern ball parks and outdoor stadia and the one back from Europe defeated George Mikan's U.S. Stars in a similar tour of northern ball parks, tffe two compiling 57 wins in all without a blemish on the Trotters' remarkable record. Extraordinary season? No, just a routine one in the Globetrotters way of doing things. The current campaign will either equal or excel it in" point, of travel and accomplishment. That's become a Trotter custom. "Uncle Saxft's Ambassadors of Good Will" always look ahead to bigger and better deeds. They never look back. The future is all for them. Tickets for the big show at Crystal Lake are available in advance at Dave's Sport shop in Crystal Lake. The roster of the Globetrotters and their height is as follows: Joshua Grider, 6-1; Willie Gardner, 6-7; Leon HiUiard, 5-li; Charles Holton, 6-2; Reece "Goose" Tatum, 6-3; Clarence Wilson, 5-11; Walter Dukes, 7-0; Ermer Robinson, 6-2; and Bill Garrett, 6-3. ZION BENTON BEATS McHENRY WARRIORS BY 26 TO 0 SCORE By Ralph Patzke The Warriors lost another homecoming game last Friday night at the hands of the Zion- Benton team, who looked really up for the game. The ZB's scored in every quarter except the fourth and held the Warriors to no score. Frank Oef fling was running good but was unable to break away as he has in the past two games. All of the players were trying hard, but there are too many regulars out and it is almost impossible to gain any score with such a handicap as this. The ZB's scored one touchdown in the first quarter, two in the second, one in the third and none in the fourth for a final score of 26-0. Need A RnUfter Stamp? Get It At the Plalndealer.

Mr. Smith, a lifelong resident of this area, began his employment at Central Garage in 1918 and worked there for ten years before purchasing the business on Jan. 4, 1929.
