Mrs. Olson will I First, it was a clear title to the * ahve charge of the Spring Grove ! Southern Regional football contween Antioch and Richmond was a natural as far as a spectator viewpoint was concerned. The two towns have been rivals in basketball for many seasons and this game was to be no exception. The game started out very fast right from the first tip-off and each $ team was trading baskets throughout the first ten minutes of action. The second ten minutes the Zephyrs really started to catch afire and by half time had moved into a 45-28 lead. The second half started right where the first half left off. The^Richmond team was still hot arid increased their lead as much as twenty points, but with six min-: utes left to go, the Antioch Scouts started to hit from every angle and the Zephyrs were as cold as at any time all season. They did manage to hang on and came out with a big win and the championship for the second straight year, 79-73. The third place game was won by Hampshire over Fort Sheridan by the score of 77-64. The Richmond, grade school put on one of their best games of the season when they defeated the Genoa City,fc team 33-28. This gave the Richmond Red Devils two wins out of three games with Genoa City this season. The Richmond Burton Community high school fine band, under the direction of Paul Stone, was on hand again this season to entertain between games and half times. The baton twirlers put on a really good exhibition of twirling at the half time of the Ft. Sheridan - Hampshire game. All in all, it was a great tournament and the Richmond RING WOOD By MM.

Now he has won the basketball title, quite a record for a new coach. The Rockets had quite an easy time of it after losing to Clinton early in the season. Loren Miller, the work horse of the Rockets, poured in 21 points and Terry Gunderson had his best night of his career when he played consistently and wound up with 18 points. Bob Christensen wound up the winner of the scoring title of the conference when he hit fpr 17 points and a total of 358. Bud Jarrett and Bob Miller had 12 and 9 respectively, and also played a very fine floor game. The Junior Rockets had even a better record than the Rockets when they made it a clean sweep of the conference by winning all fourteen games. For awhile it looked like they might give Clinton the game after building up a good lead, only to have it dwindle down to one point as the game ended, 52-51.

Everyone felt fine in Low Heat Key To Egg Cookery Eggs are easy to prepare when yoju follow the rules. Whether you use them to garnish hot potato salad or to thicken spft custard, the first and basic rule to remember is to cook them with low to moderate, even heat, says Geraldine Acker, University of Illinois foods specialist. As is true of all protein foods, too high a heat makes eggs tough and leathery. If c us tarda are cooked at too high a temperature, they become totigh and separate. When you use eggs to thicken custard-like mixtures, such as lemon pie fillings or chocolate puddings, add- the hot liquid slowly to the egg. This prevents curdling, Return the mixture to the range and cook until it thickens. Remember to maintain a low, even heat. For best results in egg cookery. take eggs from the refrigerator at least,an hour before you use them. The separation of yolks from whites is easier and eggs beat up faster and to a greater volume when brought to room temperature. Cool hard-cooked eggs promptly in cold water to prevent a dark or green surface on yolks and to make it easier to remove the shells. The darkened yolk surface may also be caused by too much cooking at too high a temperature. Ready Mixed " Concrete Classified Ads bring results. Place yours with the Plaindealer today.
