SWIITS* U/a&AJk. FORESTER CAGE TOURNEY FINALS ATTRACT CROWDS 'AO- 9lwciH?l Thought we had enough basketball for one year, but listened Ao that Elgin-Bloom game Tuesday night and wished we were there. Our radio reception- was anything but good, but we listened as in the old days of the Crystal sets when a squeak arid a wheeze gave us quite a thrill. Mel Stuessy was telling us if he had to pick a man for college .material he would take Gary Kane of Elgin: Kane made Mel look very good in that Bloom game. He is both tall and husky. And, he can shoot! Some of you old timers may not know that Elgin's Phil Sokody is the son of the famous Paul Sokody. Paul appeared in Mc- Henry back in the days when town teams drew packed houses. Later he joined the pro ranks. jCarnm; And Enieriamsrfei^ft In Sunday Windup We wonder if anybody more basketball games in a season than Mrs. Mel Stuessy. Talk about players taking it under the boards. This girl takes it on the boards--without a pillow! Now comes the stMe tournament and we will forget basketball and swing into other sports for a few months. Baseball is only a few sunny days away. Gene Schaefer, one of Uncle Sam's mail hoofers, says he won't tell a soul that we are on the Cubs' mailing list. A few people dragged out the lawn rakes last week, but switched to the snow shovels in a hurry. Thanks to John Looze, yours truly sported the loudest green tie in town on St. Patrick's Day. He dared us! We hope you have your tickets for the Sports Banquet next Tuesday night. This is the time of year when women plan house-cleaning and men worry about it. You lug those things outside and lug 'em in again. And, did you ever find anything more clumsy than a mattress to handle? Larry Stilling came up with a 253 game on the Palace alleys Friday night. Thought his game was baseball. Officer Bell: Have you any explanation for wandering about this time of night? Reveler: Look here, if I had an explanation I'd have gone home to the wife hours ago! The man who was suing over an automobile accidefit was on the stand; the defendant's counsel took over. "Did you, or did you not," he The Forester state basketball tpurnament, staged in our MCHS gym, wound up in a blaze of glory as the Johnsburg Hedvies battled right down to the finish to gain the championship over a determined squad from Virgil, 65 to 61. Johnsburg went into overdrive in the first quarter to run up a 19-6 lead. It was 33-19 at half time, then each teajn scored 18 points in the third quarter Came the final quarter and the Virgil boys picked up steam as Johnsburg showed signs of wearing I down from the torrid pace set sees , early in the game. It was a thrilling finish to a game that looked for all the world like a walkaway in the early stages. The first game of the day found the McHenry Rangers defeating LaSalle 52 to 22 in a semi-final contest. Championship games then got underway as St. Gregory Juniors came through with a 37-30 victory over Johnsburg. Egan's 25 points led the way for the winners and staved off a fourth quarter drive by St. John's. One of the Best In one of tne finest games of the entire tournament, St. Mary's Seniors of McHenry edged past. St. Gregory 63 to 57. This game found Denny Conway in goorl form as he led the way with 20 points. Tom McMahon scored 10 free throws without a miss in the last half. Jim Justen scored 15 points while Ed Caron proved his worth controlling rebounds. Art Beck and O'Brien handled the ball well in setting up plays. Caron fouled out in the fourth quarter, but Dave Freund came in and. played a fine defensive game to stop St. Gregory's fast finish. Steffan's early scoring sent McHenry Rangers into a commanding first half lead as they beat Johnsburg 43 to 24. That gives you a brief account of each game in the finals of the 11th' annual basketball tourney sponsored by the Catholic Order of Foresters State Court and managed ably by the McHenry Court. Tournament Notes Joe Etten and Ted Pitzen, cochairmen of entertainment, provided top flight performers all the way. Vic Perry and Vic Hyde of TV fame gave the large crowd plenty to watch in the closing show. Perry summoned .Alfred Weingart. Joe Hiller, George Rodenkirch and Joe Etten to the stage, then showed them some doors. Storekeepers, ticket men-- everybody helped. 'Jean Weber was at the organ every time we looked thataway. Those tunes turn the trick of never a dull moment along the way. As the tournament came to a close and various awards were presented, Bill Althoff and Fred Meyer were looking ahead to a big bowling tournament coming soon. 1 Heavies Johnsburg St. John's (65) FG C.

In McHenry, Station WBKB, Channel 7, will carry the games. Illinois Bell Telephone Company, sponsor of the program, expects that the telecast will "play to an estimated 2,500,000 viewers in just about every nook and cranpy of Illinois." Television coverage of semifinals will begin at 1 p.m. on Saturday, March 23, from Huff Gymnasium in Champaign. Play for third place will begin at 7:30 p.m., followed by the championship game. Jack Drees, Chicago sportscaster and Chick Hearn, former Peoria announcer, will handle the TV play-by-play. Hearn, who with Drees has covered every telecast tournament, will return to "home pastures" from Los Angeles where he is building up a reputation as a sportscaster. Alex Saudargas. coach of the champion West Rockford High team for the past two j years and now in private business, will analyze the plays and handle color." The quarter-finals on Friday, March 22, will be carried by only two stations--Peoria's WEEK-TV and Champaign's WCIA--at 1 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. "This is the sixth year in which the tournament has been telecast by Illinois Bell--and we aim to make it a fitting tribute to the 50th anniversary of the state high school basketball tournament," said R. ,C. Zahn, telephone company manager here. There will be a new twist to Illinois Bell's streamlined commercials, including the featuring of 55 communities in which the company operates. "Thus, viewers will enjoy an interesting 'armchair tour' of the state--but without missing a bit of action," Zahn said.

The crappies have been biting pretty good over in Squaw Creek There have been some nice fish caught there this spring. Griswold Lake has been yielding some nice crappies and bluegills. This lake has given up gome big fish in its time. ' ' . The main spots on Griswold Lake now are the beach and the channels near the road. The channel fishing involves a charge of $0.50 for The Lord only knows what. Smelt fishing should start soon if it has not already. As soon as we hear anything definite we will let you know. The bills for raising the hunting and fishing license fees $1.00 each have been passed by the Senate. Now the bills go to Governor Stratton for his signature to make them law. The Senate vote of approval was 45-2. This increaso will bring $1.3 million annually in extra revenues. Northern Mini Bowmen News By Irene J.

They may buy this one and go rolling o'er; the prairies on a Sunday afternoon. Hold your horses! PUBLIC PULSE Red Cross The question comes up during our fund drive. Red Cross has done nothing for us. You are very fortunate. During the past year, eightyr four cases have been helped by Red Cross in our town. Fortyeight of these- were servicemen. This does not mean one call, sometimes there are ten or twelve calls for each case. Telegrams, telephone calls and home service visits are some of the services connected with these cases for which, of course, there is no charge. This is a twenty-four hour service. The other thirty-six were veterans, civilians and the aged. Sixty-five cents out of every dollar stays in our chapter. Indirectly, you are helped by < Red Cross with the first aid instruction training given to your bus drivers, firemen, police, rescue squads and swimming instructors. Another service of the Red Cross has been swimming instruction which cost the Red Cross $4.50 per child. At present, we are training twelve home nursing students. The cost for each is seventy-five cents for their text books. The value of this knowledge is worth many times more . Our Gray Ladies not only visit the veterans' hospitals but also have been visiting the homes for the aged. If we had a disaster, would you refuse help from the American Red Cross? If you must use carbon teffrachloride for cleaning be sure there is adequate ventilation. Choose a day that isn't excessively humid and open the windows wide while you are using this solvent. ' RESIDENCE CHANGES Mr. and Mrs. JnmcN Patzke and daughter, Sandy, hiivo moved recently from McHenry te their new home at McCullom Lnke, The Methodist Men's club-sponsored troop had a meeting Monday evening and the troop charter was put to order. Ten boys attended and plans were made to have the boys become tenderfoot scouts. Walter Carlson, and Robert Fuller, assistant scoutmasters, passed two boys and now are tenderfoot Scouts. We again wish to invite all boys 11 to 14 years of age to join as we're planning a summer of fun. Lynn Stuart, scoutmaster, and his adult leaders, along with the boys, had a real good night of fun.
