Con-Con Vote Next Tuesday
Voters in Illinois will have the opportunity to participate in a his¬ toric event on September 23, when four candidates in each state sen- atortal district will be selected in a primary election prior to the state Constitutional Convention..
What is so special about this? It is a non-partisan, non-political pri¬ mary election. This time a voter can select his preference of two ddegate candidates without reveal¬ ing his political party affiliation or interest. He will not be asked which ballot he wishes. The names of all candidates will appear on a single ballot.
The Constitutional Convention, popularly referred to as "Con-Con" is being called for the purpose of revising or re-writing the 100-year old state constitution to fit the needs of the time. It will convene in De¬ cember and will deliberate for not to exceed eight months. The re¬ sulting document will then be sub¬ mitted to the voting citizenry for their approval.
One mo.st needed revision is that of the Revenue Article, with the definite goal to do away with personal property taxes and relieve the tremendous burden on real es¬ tate.. The aim is to make the tax burden more equitable on all the citizens of the state of Illinois.
It is very important that every voter mark the date of Septeir^er 23 nn his calendar and take the time that day to go to the polls and cast his ballot, for the candidate whom he thinks is best qualified by ability, experience, dedicati^, and an interest in all citifMfns of Illinois, to represent hii|t The ^Illinois, to represent hiili. The four candidates in each dist|4ct re¬ ceiving the highest dumber <^ votes on September 28 will then Income candidates in a general election to be held on November SB, -when two delegrBtes will be sel^ted from that group.
Remember the da]||ir, September 23, and Vote for^ Candidate of yetu- choice,

On Monday, Sept. 15, the Red¬ skin Junior-Varsity ran over Hia¬ watha by a score of 26 to 6. The game was played on the Hunlley field due to an ag;-eement in the Little 8 Conference that the Mon¬ day following a varsity game the Frosh-Soph teams will play on the opposite field.
Glen Delaney. athletic director of the Huntley schools, said that most schools just played freshmen and sophomores who were not on the varsity, to give the younger boys an opportunity to play, as w^l as to insure that a varsity play¬ er would not be injured in a Frosh- Soph game. Delaney added how¬ ever, that in certain key positions such as a kicker or center, that freshmen or sophomore varsity players might be used in these po¬ sitions if their skills warranted.
In last Mondays game both Dar¬ win Campbell and Gary Schultz played even though they are ¦var-
sity players.
The four Huntley touchdowns were made on end runs by j[*lA Aih- bough and Larry Delaney, Wljo. were running at 'quartMAck. Joe Manning, ^aeh of the Junior-Var¬ sity team, stated that Hiawatha had the game stopped down the center, •but that Huntley kept running away on the ends. Hiawatha'* only touchdown came when tbey ran down the end but the Huntley team quickly adjusted to tKe: change in playing tactics ejid manified to stop them from then on.i,    .
Darwin CatiH>beU,'made tyio 6f the four kicks in the gome. Under the nfew scoring system these kicks coimted' oine point each. Had the team run the point aftear touchown they would have received two poiats for each completed play.
Cpac^i Manning said that the Frosh-Soph team is composed of yenng boys, many of whom played their first game Monday night.
the next J.V. game wiU be against Genoa on the Redskin home Held at 4:15 oH Monday, Sept 22.
