Sometimes it seems like there will never be enough news to fill a column, but somehow, someway, something comes along. ^ and still have enough left to sprint to the dressing room. They don't puff as much as some of us who might occasionally forsake the wheel of a carlong enough to walk 4»w« f«£ the evening paper and mail. It seems like American people are becoming more sports minded year after year. A wide variety of sports offers some attractive diversion for all. < Picked-up conversation "with '"Dick" Williams, who captains the Juvenile Forester's baseball team. "Dick" tells me they had a great time at Spring Grove last Sunday. Two games were scheduled and Spring Grove took the first one 15 to 11. Now that second game was different. Difficulties afrose after the battle had gone into extra innings. The outcome of the whole affair was that^Che umpire declared McHenry the winners by default, which means a 9 to 0 score.

Friday afternoon t# see the good old MCHS take a close one from Niles Center. As might have been hinted in this Column before, we didn't hold much hopes for our team this year. They seemed to lack that certain something in spite of conscientious J efforts. They won that first game from St. Mary's, but we couldn't sound th^ir praises too highly in spite of winning. The first half of this Niles Center game .didn't change o,ur opinion more than slightly. Then along came the last half and things began to happen. A couple of well-executed plays put the boys right up on their toes and things looked different. We'll be watching them just a little closer from now on. Well, we rambled down to the golf course to check up on the hooks and slices. We found Henry "Boots" Remke had fought out a long string of 40 holes to win the crown of Club Champion from P. H. Billiter, one up. This same Remke won the crown just six years ago. In this same ramble we find that we haven't been so hot at covering this golf news. You have heard your former Sports Editor, "Zeke," praise some of our young golfers to the skies the past couple of years--and they deserved that praise. Some of those boys have shown persistence that is admirable.

In a 36 hole qualifying round, only 32 out of 200 qualified in each class. Johnson went into the Senior division, ages 18 to 21 and it took the Champion himself to eliminate him in the semi-finals. Anderson qualified in the Junior division, under 18 years of age. and went into the quarter-finals before being eliminated. That was nice poing and such competition may provo valuable to these youn& men. In my touring around, I - am be* sieged with the question, "Who are you picking in the series?" My efforts to dodge the issue seem all to no avail and loyalty to our "home" team brings forth the selection of the Cubs. As soon as the words are out of my mouth, somebody reminds me that I picked Maxie Baer quite recently. I hate to jinx those Cubs.» Just as this is written, the phone rings and the big question is settled. Walt Freund picks our Cubs and sticks to his guns. SIX YEARS AGO The Chicago White Sox took a 18 to 0 game from Johnsburg. A crowd of 1,250 witnessed the game. Joe Frett was presented with a bat by Bill Cissell, after Bill made four hits with that same bat. "Bob" Weber received six tickets ih the morning mail for the World's Series. (May history repeat itself!) With the Leonard boys In full stride, St. Mary's football team walked all over McHenry in two games. The heavies lost 37 to 0 and lights lost 12 to 0. LIKE THAT SPIRIT During a spring maneuver at one of the service schools some years ago, the troops were effecting a night river: crossing. A sudden rise in the river made the bridging equipment Inadequate, During the early morning hours a man in civilian clothes came down to the river bank where some soldiers were pulling on a rope, the other end" of which could not be seen 1ti the dark ness. "What are you he asked. Lifting his eyes foi* a. moment one of the toilers answered: "The engineers didn't said us enough bridge and we are pulling the ---- bauks closer... •together.'.'--Army ,and X,avy Journak w'-i./:. We drift from the football field over to the track field, where Mike Schoenholtz has a bunch of boys from the grade school working out with a football. To our inquiry as to whether the boys had a game or not came the reply from a future-star: "Naw,- we're just getting' of years from now." " You are now listening to, Qoach, Mike Schoenholtz: "Sorry, Earl, that I hayen\ accdmoidated you sooner than this.- In our grade sch.ool program for the fair we intend to teach the kids a few" fundamentals such, as kicking the ball with a miniumum of steps taken and a maximum of distance hoped for. The boys are taught how and why the ball should be caught correctly; how to hold it when funning or punting Captains are elected or picked each time we get together in such a way that nearly every boy has a chance to call signals and run the team. Soon one learns who the leaders are and who have the ability to analyze the other team's weakness. Of course, a lot of this is theory and can be adapted to some groups while others will fall short of our objectives. During some of our gymnasium periods we have games of drop-kicking, only, perhaps just passing or kicking. A few of the regular football rules are brought in and explained so that the boys have a better idea of the high school games when they are witnessed. In all of our games we play only tap-football, but a lot of hot-headed boys are soon driven in line and learn that it doesn't pay to be a crabby cuss, because he will be left out of the playing group. It brings enough of the body contact type of exercises that teaches the boy a certain amount of physical and mental co-ordination that just can't be learned by any othei means than by the old theory, iearni by doing.' "I hope that you can get an idea or two out of this rattle that will increase your column a line or two. My best of English I left at home--organ' ization, I never had, but 1 must say that we are flattered as well as pleas* ed that you have asked us anything at all." Now back to your announcer. Thank you, Mike. We have long realized the benefits these young boys derive from organized pUy. This early training means much to the boy who plans participation in high school and college athletics.

The boys put up an ordinary exhibition of football in the first half,- but seemed to find themselves in the second half. A couple of plays clicked and the whole gang snapped into action. Taxman grabbed a Niles Center pass beyond mid-field and raced for a" touchdown with three team-mates protecting him all the way. This tied the score and a successful line plunge for the extra point g»ve the locals a lead which they held. Notes On the Game First half was sluggish. . . . Backfield started very slotvly. . ... Line was slow in leaving their mark. Running game did not gain. . . . One exception to indifferent play in first half was when McHenry held opponents for four down inside their own 1 yard line ajyl kicked out of danger Another sign of life was when they blocked Niles Center's kick on tryfor- point after touchdown. . . . They were off-side the first time and had to block it a second time to prevent scoring of the point. . ." . That point represented markin of victory. ... McHenry made beautiful line plunge for extra point against very stubborn opposition. . . . Niles Center had more reserves and held slight advantage/ia weight. . . . McIIenry's pass defense was improved over last week? . . .'Still room' for improvement. . , .. Niles Center sent several successful) passes straight down the field. . . . McHenry looked better a$ catching points this week and lost no ground in that way Niles Center had a six foot two inch full-back who did all the damage with his plunges. . . . McHenry's tackles play wu improved but lapsed a few times. . . . McHenry's pass attaek looked weak. . . . Thiey seem to have no one who can throw. . . .
