Our family has long laughed at our fussinesstabout not locking the car doors until it is determined that the key has been removed from the switch. So . . our shopping partner, daughter Patricia,, locked one side and fussy father locked the other.

We had offers from kindly persons to take us home to get the other set of keys, but we .wanted no part of explaining , our predicament to Mama (whom we have warned so many times about taking the key out). The Grayslake Rams were the tenth victim to fall at. the hands of the fighting Warriors of McHenry last Saturday night at Grayslake by a score of 82-60. Actually in the first half McHenry came no where near looking like the team they are supposed to be as they committed 11 violations and repeatedly made fatal mental errors. They shot a respectable 43.8% compared with Grays- Now, Dorsey Conner should "hear this. We went in McGee's " Clothing Store and got a wire lake's 25%.'

Sports writers are saying our Warrior basketball team, with 10 wins and no losses, will have no trouble beating the Woodstock Blue Streaks on our home floor Friday night. cate a fine team effort, but on the contrary most observers That kind of talk scares us In recent years we have watched teams from these same schools when it seemed McHenry had too many guns for t h e W o o d s t o c k t e a m . The Streaks always seemed to play over their heads. We are sure Coach Fulton is not taking this game lightly. He remembers. It gives us the strangest feel- ^ ing to think of Don Bentz not. * being with the squad after this * first semester. His time limit " for high school competition will end. Don gets better with each game and is a tower of strength under the boards. With Jim Hester on crutches, ! Coach Fulton has another big ' problem to face.

The remaining three teams are Ela- Vernon, Antioch and Round Lake. Different Story The second half, as I said before, was a different story j than the first. In this half, we shot a tremendously high 53.8% to make our final total for the game a remarkable 49.3%. This is our high for the season thus,, far. Grayslake shot a surprisingly low 29.8% for the contest. Another personal team high for the season was that we made good on 12 of 16 free throws for a 75% pace. Free throws have won many a game for us this year, but ironically we haven't been able to make over 60% of them so far. Individually, all the credit possible should be bestowed on Don Bentz Who put on a remarkable display throughout the game. Don showed incredible abilities in shooting, rebounding, defense, and even connected on 4 of 4 free throws which is rather unusual for him. To evaluate exactly, Don had 26 points (I believe this is his personal career high) which included some unbelievable reverse lay-ups, etc., pulled down 19 rebounds, hit at a A 20-year-old, 6-ft. 6-in., 210-lb. junior, Ron is on the NIU varsity team for the third consecutive year.

To give you some idea, « Dundee edged past Geneva by M only one point. ed its margin in the second half. We shot an excellent 48.3 percent the first half, but dropped off to a miserable 29.4 percent in the second half. gPur final total was 38.1 which is our second worst game of the year in this respect. (We shot 36.6 percent at Crystal Lake) LakeTVirest compiled a very poor 30.6 percent • for the game. One unusual thing about the game was that we obtained a new season high for free throws made and free throws attempted. (23 out of 41) Gene Barth, Lake Forest's big 6'-6" center, was the game's top scorer with 24 points before he fouled out in the third quarter. He showed plenty of ability in his various jump shots and tip-ins. Don Bentz led McHenry scorers with 20 points and also accounted for 15 rebounds and shot at a 50 percent clip.
