HEAR GMmMD by EARL R. WALSH fi/CE hi J V X* THB JttcHEWRY \ % " ?- *»> s i plahtdhalkh rage Fit# MCHS MEETS ST. EDWARDS ELEVEN HE&E FRIDAY NIGHT The political boys are having a great time tossing verbal blows at each other, but right now we are more interested in the American League race. HSS V - ' Pi! - J - w .. Doctor Chamberlin^W*Wl»i the boy8 to watch Detroit some, weeks ago, but none paid too much attention- • - , _ . : ,$nce the day Dick Wakefield came l>ack to swing a poteiit bat for the Tigers, they have been the big noise in the American League. While sentiment runs high for the St. Louis Browns, a team that has never won a penant, most followers believe that a World Series between the. Cardinals and Tigears .would be * choice scrap... ^ Our line-o-type expert, "Cthrly^ Christman, also warned us about Detroit. And he has a nephew playing third base for the Browns! Well, we thought that ^Curley" (sometimes known as The Missouri Nightingale) knew about as much about that race as he does - about politics so we paid little heed. Some day. we'll learn to listen to our elders! Joe Guzzardo promised to send us! a card. He did. A beautiful back yard scene. "Doc" Kreiger sent us a belt, for mch we presume some Nazi soldier had ho further use, with a notation:; "This souvernir leaves one of the1 supermen with his pants down." A great finish took place last Sun-: in the McHenry County Baseball 'League as Woodstock beat Algonquin 2 to 1. Howard Judson was in rare form as he fanned 17 batters. Simonini whiffed 10 men while pitch-! ing his usual great game. ! •She league deserves credit for carrying on in good style in spite of, the loss of many outstanding players. We understand that Elgin is going to be wqjl-represented in the , cheering section Friday night when ] their St. Edward's football team comes to town. 1 *^Chuck" Jacobs, Elgin sports "*n$ter and a fellow who. should know, writes this game off as a onesided affair. " ; i While we recognize Mr. Jacobs as an expert on football matters, he has no idea how he crushed our spirit. When we think of those poor little fellows like Lawson and Crouch being smothered under the power of Elgin's thunderbolts, it makes us wonder if we can stand to watch the performance. But, we must brace ©Or nerves and prepare for the onslaught. Boys, we have a whole regiment of Elgin relatives coming up for thit big game. We know that they pay strict heed to the words of wisdom printed on the pages of their sports section. What some of them think about expressions in S. I. H. is something we won't go into. What we want to put across, fellows, is this--Please don't let us down in this one. We promise to write a nice, long letter to Santa Claus (and publish it if you say so) telling him what fine, upstanding, kind-to-yoiir parents, curfew-keeping young .men you really are. W\e always have some worry. With a cold winter coming on, those heartless Republicans want to put that poor dog "Falla" back in the dog house. We expected to have a report on the football game at Fox Lake from the high school journalism class. We didn't see the game, but hear that McHenry won 25 to 0. That score most of the story. The Johnsburg baseball players have been hitting the ball at a merry clip in late season and hate to put their suits away. Richmond would like to trim Johnsburg and will try it next Sunday on the Johnsburg diamond. ijo I grabbed his wrist like this-- then I grabbed his arm ltke this-- then I twists like this--and before he knew what hit him--I was flat on my back. v Bowling is hitting full stride in McHenry this week. ^ Looking over the scores you will see that some of the boys hit pretty fancy figures. Some of the rest of us will improve. Let's hope! Bill Wolf, in announcing Keno last Wednesday night, advised the crowd to 4 come over and watch the Fox Hole team bowl." Oh, me--oh, my! Bill's latest score shows 99 in one game. We haven't any proof, but 'tis said that Bernie Bollman broke a hundred. F ] NFORTUNATELY (for its ri- ^ vals), all this 1944 Navy football squad has is speed, skill, spirit, power, experience, abundance and able coaching. We have no thought of putting coach Commander Oscar Hagberg, the -submarine leader, on the spot by saying he has an unbeatable team. There is no such animal, as even Notre Dame discovered last fall. But in line and backfielql he has about all that a head coach needs, which the cool, quiet commander cheerfully admits. For one detail the Navy, squad carries along at least 12 fine backs, including such stars as Bob Jenkins, late of Alabama, and Ralph Ellsworth, one of the best backs Texas has ever sent to the field. And we have no idea of overlooking Hal Hamberg, an allaround ball of fire. Fast hard-hitting backs flit np and down the field in profusion and they will be working back of a strong line, headed by Don Whitmire, the 220-pound tackle, better known as the Decatur Destroyer. In Ellsworth and Jim Pettit, Navy has two backs who can hit around 9.6 or 9.7 for the 100-yard dash, probably the two fastest in the country. Two-hundred pound Bob Jenkins is sure to be one of the stars of the autumn highway. There isn't space enough to name them all--Barron of Vanderbilt, Earley of Notre Dame, Ambrogi of Penn, Duden, Finos, Barksdale, Sullivan and others. The eligibility of Whitmire, Jack Martin and one or two others has given the Gold and Blue line just what it needed. I watched Rip Miller's countenance for some time without discovering a single salty tear coursing down either cheek. Rip is the line coach and one who knows his trade. Hagberg Optimistic Commander Hagberg came from somewhere near the bottom of the Pacific to take over Captain Whelchel's job. While talking with him who should pop up but Commanders Slade Cutter and Doming, also just from the Pacific's depths with its wreckage of Japanese ships. Both were former Navy stalwarts. "I am forced t<J break down and admit that we have a good squad," Coach Hagberg said.' "It is certainly all that any coaching staff could expect to find. We have 10 or 12 fast, hard-hitting backs. We have a good first line in front of them--possibly a pretty good second line. We certainly have our share of speed and two good passers in Hamberg and Ellsworth. You won't find a better tackle than Don Whitmire who is not only big and active, but always keen to go. It would be foolish, however, to say we won't be beaten. "We also know what Army has," the commander said. "We know the type of football that such backs as Glen Davis, Douglas Kenna, Sensanbaugher (Olfio State) apd six or eight others can turn out. "This is sure to be a strong, fast Army team, looking for revenge after what has happened in the last five years. But tell Red Blailr 1 f»# nothing to do with this." Classy Coaching "This is a good Navy football squad," Rip said. "It can turn on the smoke and it has the punch. But among others don't let anybody tell you that N. C. Pre-Flight, Notre Dame and Army don't have good teams--not overlooking Duke, Ga. Tech and Purdue. What about Notre Dame? I can tell you something about this--it isn't the wrecking outfit of 1943, but Ed McKeevec has a great bunch on hand, one of the strongest squads of the year. He hasn't what Frank Leahy had last fall, but he has plenty, including a finp passer to work with his TfoYmation. Every team which hap pens to face this Irish line-up will have trouble. All I can say is that any team that can take this Navy squad will have to be extra good on that one day. You can't always tell about football. But we have good stuff here, including a few that I think are standouts. We have more good backs than we have linemen so far, but we still h§ve our share in the line." All of this would indicate that Navy is likely to have a pretty fair season and possibly win a few of its games, despite the fact that Captain Humphries, graduate manager, has arranged the strongest schedule he could get. Detroit*s Wakefield "Before Wakefield rejoined the Tigers, York was the only hitter that the enemy pitchers were afraid of in a pinch. They could pass him and settle down to get the next man and have little worry about the men on base getting horr^e. They can't now, for Wakefield is dangerous. He may not hit as many home runs, but he is even more likely to smash a timely game-winning hit over second base.' Charley Hughes, headman at the Detroit Athletic club, was speaking. Another big sports event is coming" up this week in McHenry. Op Friday: night, a big and powerful football team from St. Edwards' of Elgin will meet our MCHS eleven on our high •school field. While McHenry has looked goo«F in blanking both Antioch and Fox Lake, it appears that a bigger job is at hand for this week. St. Ed-, wards is said to have size and power. St. Edwards recently trounced Aquin gf Freeport--a team*that won a decisive victory from St. Mary's of Woodstock. The probabte starting lineups are McHenry "Bud" Miller Lawson <•. Guzzardo Kosti M.
