"It was the best game of ie season", remarked Bob Kilday as he left the Faculty- Senior basketbal game last Thursday night. ; If it wasn't the best game, it j; certainly rates as tops in crowd L appeal, The students won a j^iieaHe^,. 52 to 50, after the old boys showed the most in setting up plays, but also showed that- a few years are catching up to them. * Not many years ago, both Clfff Fulton and Chuck Cuda wese~too much for high school pljQters: This time Jack Thomas was the one who didn't run out of steam. One could only describe "Butch" Meyer's outside shooting as beautiful. The game was really interesting to watch and proceeds ,ysed to purchase needed equipment. Maybe they should have appropriated a small amount to purchase liniment for the old boys. Sitting with Sib Whiting and Joe May, we had a lot of fun during Jj^e game. A great athlete in the early history of McHonry sports, •"Dutch" Bacon, left this earth a few days ago. We grew up ,'as across the street neighbors on Main Street and counted the Bacons as real friends. '"We will never forget an a- "musing incident when our town basketball team visited a town strange to us to play a game.

Started on what was supposed to be a pleasurable little drive around the Bull Valley area last Sunday, but didn't enjoy seeing numerous bags of garbage dumped by the roadside, half a dozen dead animals run-over by cars, a burlap sack full of drowned puppies, and a dog that had been shot. "There Oughta Be a Law". This weekend, March 21 and 22 the German Wirehaired Pointer Club of Illinois will hold a field trial at the McCullom Lake Sportsmen's Club near Hebron. The following Saturday, March 28, the German Wirehaired Pointer Club of America will hold a field trial on the same grounds. For some years the "Drahthaar" has been quietly snubbed by owners of the other German Pointing breeds, but selective breeding and the determination of Wirehaired owners have gained the recognition that this breed deserves. Following this column is one of the best articles we have seen on the Wirehaired Pointer, and through the efforts of Mrs. Virginia Gallagher, Nat'l. Secretary of the German Wirehaired Pointer Club of America, we have obtained permission for its reprint. "•^Fhe hard fight-is on for the (^|(Qh£sKetbaIl championship.

Watch next week's paper for more details. of the other breeds registered in the gun-dog stud book in any, BRISTLES AND BRAINS by John R. Falk One Of the only two new gun breeds admitted to the American Kennel Club's register in the past five years, the German wire-haired pointer is steadily enlarging his place in the esteem of American hunters. The other new AKC member is the Hungarian vizsla (see the May, 1963, issue for the story of this breed) and these two immigrants have something in common: They're making a reputation on the basis of merit, not on the wave of drum-beating promotion that so often heralds a new import. The German wirehair, or Drahthaar (the German name for the bristle-like coat), has admirers, but they don't claim this breed fills every role a onedog hunter can dream up. They don't even claim the wirehair, will eliminate the problems of training or will show a better nose, stamina, hunting desire and intelligence than the better- known pointers in America. But this dog has nevertheless proved himself both in field trials and hunting to be an efficient, enthusiastic bird-getter. . The wire-haired pointer, originated late in the 19th century in Germany. A number of crosses have been credited in establishing the breed; among the dogs that may have been used are the griffon, Stichelhaar, Pudel-pointer and shorthaired pointer. It is not clear how far the Drahihaar had been developed by the time he was given recognition as a distinct breed in 1870. There must have been further development if crosses were made with the German short haired pointer, because the short hair himself wasn't develo|x?d until the 1880's. In any event, the Drahthaar achieved great popularity in his native land by the turn of the century. Like most German hunting breeds, he was used as a multi-purpose field dog, pointing birds and hares, i n i l ing large and small game, an<i retrieving on land as well as from the water. The wiiohair became a very successful competitor in German field triaj^r and since the mid-1920's. ha*7 consistently outnumbered all >RENSS S SAME DAY SERVICE ON MOST MAKES & MODELS • Service • Rebuilding • Repair 0 Cleaning Out • Overhauling • Installation • Reconditioning • Removal ALL WORK GUARANTEED -WATER SdFTEKllI!

Their numbers were too small to attract more than mild curiosity, however. A decade later, the short-hair was brought over here amid considerable promotion extolling his multi-purpose potential--would have ridden the wave of interest in the shorthair, but this simply didn't happen. The wirehair remained relatively obscure for years, and then, when he might have begun rising -in popularity, the Weimaraner came along and history repeated itself. Hunters took a great interestQn the new import and again ighored the wirehair. By the mid- 1950's, however, the Weimaraner craze had subsided somewhat, and the wirehair began to make slow but steady progress under the sponsorship of the German Drahthaar Club of America. Though the Drahthaar had been registered for some years in our Field Dog Stud Book, the breed was not recognized by the American Kennel Club until 1959. In that year, the AKC registered the dog under the official name of German wire-haired pointer. Some gunners regard the wirehair as more desirable than the shorthair or Weimaraner, both for pointing upland >game and retrieving waterfowl. He has a bit more range than the other Germans and is generally faster and more agile. Therefore he is less often accused, (or guilty) of a tendency to putter -- a common criticism of run-of-the-mill shorthairs and Weimaraners. Like all German gun breeds, he has a strong retrieving instinct and readily takes to fetching from land or water. As a water-worker, he has only one advantage over his fellow immigrants, but it's worth nothing: The harsh, thick, bristly coat that gives the wirehair his name overlays a generally dense undercoat of softer texture. Because of this combination of hair, he can withstand longer and more frequent exposure to cold water than the other German dogs. His keen scenting ability and abundant stamina make the wirehair a successful close-to medium-range pointer for our major upland birds. As with all breeds, some individual dogs may handle one game species better than another, but a sufficiently experienced wix-ehair can work any game bird that can be handled by a pointing dog. While he doesn't have the range to be considered a prime "cover dog" for quail on the big plantations of the South, many Southern hunters would find him excellent for singles or for covey-hunting in the less open sections of the bobwhite's range. In all parts of the country, he is rated as particularly well adapted in range and pace to hunting the semi-open and brushy habitat of the pheasant, and he's equally good in the heavy alder tangles and woodland edges where woodcock and ruffed grouse are found. His rough coat not only protects him against thorns and briers but gives him a natural resistance to cold temperatures and bad weather. While he's a very intelligent, quick learner, he is not "thickskinned" about harsh discipline. He requires gentle firmness. "Force-breaking" methods are used'without ill effects on some breeds they won't work with a wirehair. Besides, such methods aren't needed with a dog of this breed's intelligence. A fairly good-sized dog, he stands from 22 to 26 inches high at the withers and weighs between 55 and 65 pounds. Nevertheless, he makes an excellent house pet if. you have a roomy home, and he's a fine watch dog. He will become extremely unhappy if kept in a back-yard kennel or dog house.

MCHS TRACK MEN impressive VS, TOP COMPETITION - by Jink-Benson ' On March ll, the Warrior track team traveled to Oak Park where they placed second in a triangular meet featuring highly regarded Oak Park and Wheaton. Our showing was very impressive considering it was our first meet and the fourth and sixth for Wheaton and Oak Park respeetively>., : On March 14, the team journeyed to York Township High School where they competed , against Dundee, Crystal Lake, Mundelein and the host school. Our boys finished third and again were impressive. George Koch, outstanding sprinter and hurdler, tied two existing York Fieldhouse records--that of the 40 yd. dash and 40 yd. low hurdles. This Saturday the team travels to the 29th annual Naperville Relays to be held in the North Central College Fieldhouse. This meet traditionally draws the best teams in Northern Illinois and should give our group some real competition. Preliminaries begin at 12:00 and the finals start at 2:00.

Northern Illinois Bowmen News Northern Illini Bowmen will meet at 8:30 to-night, (Thursday) in the American Legion Home. *' Committee reports will tje heard and awards presented tp the March 1, club shoot winners. Interested persons may attend. but will exhibit a wonderful disposition if allowed to live in the home. The wirehair's color is "grizzle"--bluish-gray--with patches of liver or brown on the head and body. His tail, like that of all German hunt-r ing breeds, is docked to about six inches in length. His build is that of a typical pointer, but varies from distinctly stocky in some individuals to lean in others. As I made clear in my reports on the Weimaraner and short-haired pointer, you can't expect any single breed to excel at all kinds of hunting, but the German breeds can never1- theless be classed as utility dogs. Although the wire-haired pointer is at his best on upland game, I must repeat that he's no slouch at retrievng and he's as likeable in the living room as in the field. A dog with plenty of personality, he's a fine choice for the man who wants a capable game finder, affectionate pet and alert watch dog.

ACCIDENT HAZARDS One of the best ways to avoid an accident is to plan evasive acts ahead of time. As you drive along, visualize what possible kinds of hazards may be waiting ahead, and what you would do to avoid them. This suggestion is offered by the Institute for Safer Living, which states that this sort of mental preparation will help the driver to instinctively take the right evasive action when a real accident is imminent.

AREA LIVESTOCK FEEDEBS HOLD I ANNUAL MEET i ^Qene Meyer of Marengo wac gfe&ied president of the McjHenry County Livestock Feeders association at the annual meeting and election of officers held recently , in Woodstock. Other officers elected were Vice-President Gilbert Clausen of Woodstock and Secretary* Treasurer, Don Stoxen of Harvard and Lyle Luedtke of Woodstock. - Gene Meyer gave d report on tnembership, stating several 'new members have been signed t^j for this year, j , JHarlan Hollewell Of -Milledgevilie a vice-president of the .national association, told the feeders present of the work the association had done in the Chicago meat counter case, the action brought against a certain livestock dealer for false advertising and misrepresentation of feeder cattle and the import situation. One of the interesting points Mr. Hollewell brought out was the fact that Australia's con~ sumption of beef actually dropped during 1963 while their exports increased, leading to believe they deliberately increased their exports so they would have a large base to .work on when this country finally decided to put a quota on imports. He also stated that th« present quota is much too high and the association will continue to work for a lower quota or legislation to relieve the situation. It" was also pointed out that a bill has been introduced to clearly label all imported meats at the meat counter.

Such dealerships are usually located in large cities with high overhead where they are c o m p e l l e d to keep sales rolling at a brisk pace in order to keep the bills paid and make flHt,. a little money. Without approving his conduct, it is understandable why a dealer in this situation is willing to try this pr that "gimmick," including misleading advertising, when sales slacken off. Some dealers who operate this way (foolishly, we might add, for their own long term survival) regard any promotion as acceptable that creates showroom traffic as long as it doesn't directly break the law. If ynu are shopping for a new or used car and you want to buy it at the best price you c^n tor the value received, then remember this: Operating costs are lower in small towns and cities than in large cities and metropolitan areas. And unless your local dealer is just' out to turn business away, you can j'lmost invariably do better with him. Don ; be mislead by claims and figures that you may not understand. You will be well repaid for the few minutes that it . takes to sit down with mysell or one of our salesmen and discuss car prices -- our competitors and our own before you make iip your mind al»cut buying.
