. • It was between halves of the basketball game here Friday night as our reflections on the first half play had us convinced that the Libertyville team was far better than rated. We also had the feeling that our Warriors could not win this one. That was when Joe May assured us that all was well. McHenry could win. Never a doubt in Joe's mind. It was .in the first half that we decided Ken Laurence, a great rebourider, should set up a basket in his back yard and practice free throws. All of a sudden K^n's great competitive spirit caught fire and he put 'em through like he was Using radar. His seven points in a hurry put the Warriors "back in the game and the team was not to be denied. Chris Newkirk again showed Me is a clutch player, sinking the tying basket with only seconds remaining in the game. Fred Kusch led the scoring In the overtime as the Warriors scored 10 points against 7$ for Libertyville. S.i . Rich Smith again showed he "$an take charge, directing the ^ play, driving in hard, setting tip plays and scoring nicely. WARRIORS BEAT LIBERTYVILLE BASKETBALL WILDCATS 84-80 IN THRILLING OVERTIME Don Meyer was sharp, but had foul trouble. So did May- (ield. Bob had three fouls iarly in the game and had td J'"fit out quite a while. Roy Moss gave it all he had ityhen his chance came, but his ill Out effort also brought the feferee's whistle into action. Wayne Hiller was in at the finish and kept the defense spread while the taller boys played control ball. " Gary Lock wood came in late in the game, scored 6 points, committed only one foul and played the boards well. Gary has another year in high school and looks like a key man for next season. With so many men on the verge of fouling out, Coach Fulton had to hold a couple of players out at times when ,1* we are sure he wanted them in there. It took some juggling, but the results were great for the home crowd. The team goes to Barrington Friday night to meet the league leaders. A look at the standings will show you how tight the league is this year. We were just as surprised as some of you were when we saw the heading last week over the story about the grade school basketball tournament. Instead of next "Week," it came out next "year." You may be sure the tourney is set for this week. Next year can take care of itself. See revised schedule on this page. Seems to us in this modern day singing, the fellow or gal who can howl the loudest is rated the best. Radio has it all over television, You don't have to watch 'em -- listening is enough. Roy Moss appears to be the man in command, as "Butch" Meyer (34) and Fred Kusch (52) are in close for the Warriors against Libertyville. We are so proud of our niece, Kathy Blake, who "starred" in a G.A.A. basketball game last week. Her team lost 2 to 1, but she scored the only point for her team. Oh, yes! It was an overtime game Now, that must have been a thriller. DAILY PINUPS Spring is the season when all of life focuses On daffodils, bluebells and dainty crocuses; On lovely tints of rows of irises And several shades of lovely viruses. By Gene Brooke "Lady- Luck" was with the Warriors last Friday night as they squeaked out a narrow victory over the tough Wildcats of Libertyville. Trailing throughout the whole game, the Warriors didn't catch Libertyville until the last 30 seconds. With the score at 74-74, the game went into overtime. The Warriors caught fire as Kusch hit on a hook shot and then immediately came back to sink a jump shot which gave the McHenry boys a 4 point lead and their margin of victory. With the 4 point lead and the cheers from an enthusiastic crowd, the Warriors were on their way to victory. The first quarter was the kind basketball fans dream of watching. Both teams shot at a good clip and scored with ease. Libertyville scored 24 points in the quarter. The Wildcats were lead by Tom Mellen who scored 10 of his 27 points during this stanza. Our hats are off to Tom -- he played spectacular ball and kept the Wildcats in contention all the way. The Warriors were lead by Kusch and Smith. Kusch had 9 points and Smith had 7. This accounted for 16 of McHenry's first 20 points. Teams Cool Off The second quarter found both teams cooling off a little. Mike Dahl started hitting for Libertyville and sank 7 points in the quarter. Kusch, Laurence and Smith led the Warriors with 6-3-4 points apiece. The half ended with McHenry trailing by a point, 38-37. The third quarter was fought on fairly even terms. As the quarter ended, the Warriors found themselves three points behind. The McHenry boys had trouble catching the Wildcats and trailed by as much as 6 points at times. However, the Warriors started using a fullcourt press. Trailing by 2 points with seconds left, Kusch leaped high to steal a Libertyville pass. He threw quickly to Newkirk and Chris made a lay-up to tie the game. Fred Kusch led the attack during the over-time period scoring 7 of our 10 points. During this period, the Warriors held Libertyville to 6 points and as ""ft result won their 5th conference game. The game was characterized by many fouls and was a tough, hard fought contest. The Warriors made 24 of 42 charity throws. Libertyville made 34 of 48. Kusch led Mr- Henry with 28 points. Smith and Laurence followed with 22 points and 10 points each.

The game was completely different than the Libertyville tilt. Realizing they couldn't , rebound against the Warriors, the Palatine team played control ball and shot only when they were in close. As a result, this was the lowest scoring game in conference play this year. The Warriors were leading by- 6 points when the third period started. Palatine scored 6 points and then stalled. Holding the ball most of the period, they held McHenry to 2 points during the third stanza. The third period ended with McHenry leading 21-19. The Palatine strategy -- get the lead and then hold on to the ball. However, the Warriors proved to be too much and pulled the game out with a 16 point splurge in the final period. It was a much closer game than the score indicates as the Warriors made a couple of quick baskets in the last seconds. Next week the Warriors can see what they can do about trimming Barrington's lead. They play Barrington on the Bronco's court. Let's go and give them our support. 0 The Great Outdoors By Sack Walsh fimtmiirniiiiiirriniiiiiLKiiitiLriiriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiirfinniii- Disabled veterans now may obtain fishing licenses for 50 cents.

Habich of Hancock drive, Wonder Lake, Stanley Olsezewski of Island Lake' and Cindy Ulick of 1117 Rocky Beach, McHenry. Habich was reported by the sheriff's office to have been driving east and the other auto, driven by Qlsezewski, was travelling west.

NEW FEED GRAIN PAYMENT RATES GO TO PRODUCERS TALK ON DECENT LITERATURE OPEN TO PUBLIC SUNDAY Notices of base acreages, yields, and payment rates established for the 1964 feed grain program have been mailed to feed grain producers, Vern Aijrlerson of the McHenry County ASCS office has announced, Intentions to participate in the program may be filed from Feb. 10 through March 27. Mr. Anderson pointed out that two diversion payment rates are established for each farm. The minimum rate applies to the first 20 percent of the base diverted, and the additional rate to the acreage diverted between 20 and 39.9 percent of the base. When at least 40 percent of the base is diverted, the additional rate applies to all such acreage. To be eligible under the program, producers must file intentions to divert from a minimum of 20 percent to a maximum of 50 percent (or 25 acres, whichever is the larger) of the farm feed grain base, and devote such acreage to an approved conservation use. The law provides that where a producer can prove the farm yield for each year in the 1959- 1962 period, the yield and payment rates for the farm will be revised to appeal with the county committee during the fifteen-day appeal period, and furnishing actual evidence of production such as warehouse or sales receipts.

"LITTLE OLD LADY" CARS How important is mileage in judging a used cars value? Not so important as condition, visible wear an 1 rfealer reputation. ^ Despite the fact that most folks shopping for a used car still let the speedometer influence them mightily, recorded mileage can be very misleading in assessing a car's worth. This is especially so today when manufacturer's advertising claims for reduced service on current models causes a tendency by drivers to regard their cars as mechan- jj^^. :J|| ical wonders not requiring regular service as formerly. Excessive engine wear causing oil burning in two-andthree year old cars is fairly common. The reason is that short trip driving, if not accompanied by frequent oil changes, causes rapid sludge and varnish build up. It is this chemical change in oil • hat causes most extensive wear. Roughly one gallon of water is produced by a car's combustion system for every gallon of gas consumed. In a cold engine, instead of going out the exhaust pipe, this water condenses and runs into the cranckcase, setting up sludge deposits. Sludge plugs engine oil passages in the rings, causing oil burning and ultimately varnish. If your car gets a lot of this "little old lady" type of driving (frequent trips of less than eight miles) you will be well repaid • by longer engine life and ultimately greater resale value to have your oil changed every thirty to sixty days even though your mileage is below maximum recommendations.
