eoAJZU/et&Ah. AOJust looked at the calendaf and saw this wording at the top: "The dog that trots about finds a bone". Guess we haven't trotted around enough lately to pick up much column material. You can pick it out of thin air just so long. For years we have thought this paper should give us more travel assignments. And we don't mean one way. We would like to travel as far as Crystal c Lake Friday night to see our first basketball game of the season. One of those friendly rivals of ours from Crystal Lake phoned this week to say that he Is, real worried. He may have been throwing a tranquilizer at us. But, as long as he. is worrying, why should we. BIG WARRIORS WHIP HEBRON FIVE 67 TO 52 Boys Go Into High Gear After Slight First Half Lead. JOHNSBURG RESCUE SQUAD by Ron Smith The McHenry Warriors won theif sixth game in seven starts this year as they whipped Hebron 67-52 in a non-conference battle at Hebron last Friday. Coach Fulton's squad played excellent defensive ball as they recovered the ball 20 times from the "Green Giants '. Scoring was also evenly balanced as illustrated in the box score. The Warriors shot a respectable 37.5 percent as compared to Hebron's 34.9 percent. In the first quarter, McHenry jumped off to a 17-10 lead. Hebron, led by big Ken Schulz, came back to make the score 27-26 at halftime. „ The Warriors played one of their better second halves as they scored 40 points. This was due mainly to a full court zone press A guy named Smith is going to : used by Coach Fulton.

Frank brought us an attractive pamphlet describing his town of Chowchilla, California. We are saving it for our „ Chamber of Commerce. We were surprised to learn that cotton is now one of the leading crops in the area. Our former McHenry boy and star athlete sees the McHenry area becoming so crowded that he thinks the wide open spaces of hjis ranch is the place to live. Some people may be dreaming of a white Christmas. In our case, Christmas .is just a dream. We aren't ready. It cr^pt up on us'too fast. Greeting cards poured in before ours were addressed. Peonle told us of having their shopping completed weeks ago. Heck! We haven't written our letter to Santa Claus. But, come Christmas morning and the true spirit of the day will be with us. What harm if the materia] side is not attended to as we would like. There is a spiritual side that overtakes young and old at Christmas time and it is well for the world that it does. Eichinger, who scored 16 points; Denny Conway, who had 7 assists and 4 recoveries; Don Bentz, who had 5 recoveries; Roger Benson, who- had 10 rebounds; and Mark Vycital, who recovered the ball 4 times. Ken Schulz led Hebron's scoring with 19 points. This was a non-conference victory which prepared the Warriors for this week's battle with Crystal Lake at their field house. This team is annually one of Mc- Henry's biggest rivals and usually attracts excellent crowds. Since both teams are rated first division material in the conference, a victory would really help our chances to move up on top. Wc hope for plenty of support from McHenry fans at this, game in Crystal Lake on Friday, December 20. We think it wise to let Santa» have his fling, then devote time, thought and actions to the true meaning of this day of days. We sincerely wish each of you good health, good fellowship, peace of mind, and good cheer as Christmas of *1957 approaches.

FROSH-SOPHS LOOK SHARP IN 52-33 WIN OVER HEBRON TEAM The Warrior Frosh-Soph basketball team, using balanced scoring, and playing an almost "errorless" game, last Friday night defeated the Hebron Green-Giants by a 52-33 score on the Hebron court. It was the seventh consecutive victory for the Warrior juniors. Tom Creighton, Jim Hester and Mike Creighton led a first quarter barrage that totaled 20 points, while the Warrior defense allowed Hebron but 12 points. The local lads made nine of 15 field goals attempts in the first quarter, a blistering 60 percent shooting average. The ir.'.ermission trore -read: McHemy 31, Hebron 17. Using regular p-avers only sparingly in the second half, the Warriors were able 'o rr aintain their comfortable lead. In reviewing the game statistics it must be noted that the boys played an "almost perfect" game. On only five occasions did the lads give up the ball because of mechanical errors, such as bad passes, muffed passes or floor violations like traveling. Mike Creighton and John Olson led the rebounders with 9 and 8 respectively, while Bill Oeffling came through with 6 beautiful assists which led to easy goals by his teammates. Hester led the Warriors in scoring with 13 points, fo"owed closely by Mike Creighton with 11. Begun, of Hebron, was high for the game, getting 15 points on seven goals and one charity toss. iniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiHiiiiiiiw Northern Mini Bowmen News By Irene J.

A spirited and hard-fighting Palatine wrestling, team came to McHenry and defeated coach Kalk's matmen by a score of 29- 14. It was their first loss, but' it was in a non-conference match so they are still undefeated in conference play. The most deciding factor was that the boys suffered a letdown after winning their first three matches so easily. The next match will be Tuesday afternoon at 4:15 P.M. against Libertyville.

Match game between Hank's Ml % THE GREAT OUTDOORS By Jack Walsh We came across a new idea in ice fishing rods the other day. The big advantage to this is thac it should cut tangle and line freezing to the rod to a minimum. This rod is made of hollow glass. A small reel clamped on the handle feeds the line through a smail hole and out through the core of the rod itself. We have not tried one of these rods as yet, but they look promising. Ice fishing was pretty good at Stanton Point and a few other parts of the Ciia n O'Lakes last week. A cold M.ap with the Mercury down to zero or below is what we need to make all the1 self defense. laki'S completsiv .sai'e. As soon as w» hear anything definite about the ice and perch fishing on Lake Geneva and Lake Mendota, the news will be publisljed! Rabbit hunting has been excellent this year as far as ths. amount of bunnies you see. Three or four inches of snow always make things a little more interesting. We should have snow for Christmas, but the way the weather looks now we ajre going t-j have to do an awful lot of wishing for a "White Christmas". We received a picture of four McHenry deer hunters some time ago, had a cut made and story written. Then came a mysterious disappearance act. The story is still lost, but the cut has been found. See picture this week. The Miller brothers, Nick, Jerome and Gene were joined by Frank Gregory in a hunting trip near Spooner, Wisconsin. We don't think they went looking-for bear.

Last rites were conducted in Chicago Friday for Fr. Walter E. Lessman, pastor of St. Joseph parish, Lena, who died suddenly in St. Anthony hospital, Rockford. The priest, not yet 50 years old, had been in poor health for almost a year 'but was confined to the hospital only two days. The Lessman family has been well known in this area for many years, having maintained a summer home near Johnsburg. Fr. Lessman was ordained a priest by Bishop Hoban in St. James Pro-Cathedral June 11, 1938. He is survived by his father, G. W. Lessman, of Vero Beach. Fla., his sister, Mrs. Wallace Roehl, and two brothers, Edward and Robert, all of Chicago. His mother died in June of this year. Score by Quarters: McHenry 20 11 Hebron 12 5 Rebounds: T.
