SIXTH GRADE JOHNSBURG TOURNAMENT On Saturday night, March 2, Parkland's sixth grade basketball team defeated a very fine undefeated Johnsburg team 25-22 to capture first place in the annual sixth grade tournament. Parklfcnd's road to the championship was far from easy as they struggled to victory over McHenry on Monday and Harrison on Thursday by scores of 19-16 and 21-12 respectively. The championship game was an exciting contest which saw the lead change hands several times. The outcome remained in doubt from the opening whistle until the final buzzer.

Wow! That was some gamfe. But, the game brought on our annual blast at the rule makers on the five fouls and out you go rule. Most of those fouls are like a tap on the wrist to big, well conditioned athletes. v Can't thhQt of another game that boots a player out of the game for mistakes. In football the ref marks off yardage as a penalty. In basebaill there are penalties for interference, but the guilty player stays in the game unless lie says shucks to the umpire. In boxing a man can lose the round for a foul blow. If a team keeps fouling in basketball and loses points at the free throw line, that's penalty enough for us. ^ Always said kick a player out for a dirty foul that could injure another player. But, let's get on with the game instead of all this whistle too tin'. It used to be if a guard went up in the air to stop a shot and touched the ball there was no foul. We saw kej( men on both the Michigan and Indiana teams go to the bench on fouls and spend the rest of the game cheerleading. For our part, we would like to see the top players in there at the finish. That's one man's opinion. Eddie "Twinkle Toes" Bimbo, the Fred Astaire of McHenry, is making great plans for St. Patrick's Day. (Everybody is Irish that day). Corned beef and cabbage will push those Italian dishes aside. Somebody has started the green decorations around our office. The pity of it is there isn't an Irishman in the crowd except Yours Truly. Never found any green dye for Boone Creek. The Algae comes too late. On the 17th of March Irish Eyes Are Smilin'. Found some Irish brew on the seat of our car Tuesday. Winkel never forgets. Of course, it is for medicinal purposes. There will be some fun, but never the same as when Harry Conway came through our door to complain about the red carpet. In the old days, the "Micks" were peaceful and happy - until something happened. Then came a fight. They en joyed that, too. Won't have to remind Marie to listen for Galway Bay on Lawrence Welk's show next Sunday night. Wish we had the words to "The Hat Me Fa-a ther Wore". Our father sang it once a year. We remember part of it. AN IRISH BLESSING May the road rise to meet you . May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face. May the rains fall soft upon your fields. And, untU we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
