Basketball Ends for 105 Players 28, Ellison 18 20, Lambert 7 Holm 20, Wiesike 18 Last Saturday morning the eight and nine year olds finished their basketball season on the Central School gym floor. In the All-Star games that were played one ended a tie and the other was a rout.

In the first game Fletcher, Trownsell, and Finnessy poured 17 points through the hoop to defeat Heiman, Bacon, Ellison, Dickenson, Kain and Bowden. Also talk. ing part in the 17 to 0 victory were Menke and Krchak. It was a surprising outcome because just the week before Bacon's team had defeated Finnessy and Trownsell's team to take second place in the league. In the second game of the morning the score was 4 to 4.

Keating and Deren scored for one team and Berghorn and Ewert made points for the other club. players making up these squads were Rosulek, Harkins, Lolly, Sevell, Sonk, Macievic, Eby, and Boubelik. In the other games Ralph Young's team suffered its first defeat to Dan Repp and company. Hynan, Simonsen and team climbed into second place by virtue of a win over Chuck Ellison. Allen Wiesike, Zell, Kacer and the rest of the squad tried desperately for a first place tie in their league but there was too much Richard Green, Bob Victorine, and Benjy Falk.

Wiesike's team lost by two points. Vertelka also escaped a tie for last place as they defeated Norman Lambert's squad. Lambert's team should be good next year as they are all youngsters in that age group and show good potential. They developed much better as the season ended. In all there were 105 boys on the rosters for the this year.

Attendance at most sessions was good so for the most part the teams were able to play at full strength. The program was in charge of Ken Bird acting for the Crystal Hess and Bill Hunt from the high Lake Recreation department. John school varsity squad were his as sistants. Others who helped were members of the Central school basketball team; Jae Edwards, Bob Falkenberg, Jim Rosulek and others. Several fathers were present often to help: Among those who were there most were LeRoy Holm, Hal Tripp and Chuck Zell.

The boys themselves did most of the scorekeeping when they were not playing. Everyone who helped made a vital contribution to the success of the program.

Schlottman of Stone Lake, Wis. "The third member from the left is Raymond Riley of Terra Cotta instead of Roy Knox and the fifth is Ray Blackman instead of Roy Blackburn. Frank Hubert did a pretty good job of reminiscing about our games. However, he failed to mention that we did occasionally go by car. We hired Hiram Haligus several times, always paying our own expenses, including hotel bills and meals.

"He also did not mention that at McHenry we dressed in our hotel rooms and then ran down the street about two blocks in our uniforms in below zero weather to play in the town hall where the court was separated from the pot bellied stove by chicken netting and many a player slammed into the wire and against the stove. Richmond we played in the opera house on a waxed floor, with gas footlights projecting into the playing area. Riley suffered a nasty cut on the head during one of our games there. But this did not stop him from finishing the game." Boosters Meet Tonight Members of the Booster Athle tic club will meet tonight at 8:30 at the Pinemoor hotel.
