Page Font THE McHENRT PLAINDEALER Ttanday, October 26, 19fife eaMJt UJa/hJi, SO I HEAR... Last Saturday we tourec^ out to the state where the, tall corn grows, but didn't get into the corn country. Just crossed the Mississippi and up the hill to Clarke College where our daughter has joined other McHenry girls (Ellen Clark 1 and Lynn Buckie) in search of some book larnin' and as well-rounded education. Early Sunday morning we purchased a • Chicago paper in hopes of getting some news op the North Suburban League and the McHenry Warriors in particular. Of course, the early edition out there had no news of our section. So it wasn't until Monday morning that we learned about McHenry's victory over Palatine by a score of 9 to 6. That is the first time McHenry's goal has been crossed this season, a tribute to some great defensive play. Not only has the line dug in hard, but the defensive backfield has been alert on pass defense. Seems to jus they have intercepted more passes than they have knocked down. Two big games remain. Next Saturday afternoon, October 28. the Warriors travel to Barrington where the road to victory may be rough. A week from Friday, Nov. 3, the up and coming Dundee eleven will come to McHenry for the windup of the season. Junior Freund and Herb Reihansperger have been real civil to this department since the World Series. Junior is downright disappointed that we have so few differences of opinion or loyalty in football. Oh, there must be something we can stir up for argument before spring training comes again! A young fellow of some 74 years named Bert Fins tad of Libertyville saw a picture of our former Mayor, George P. Freund, receiving the Citizen of The Year award at the V.F.W. and promptly wrote to inquire if George was the McHenry baseball team promoter of 50 years ago. The letter • reached our:' department too late for research this week to come up with some information. Our guess is that A. P. "Tony" Freund was the Mc- WARRIOR CREW SINKS PIRATES RARE9-6 Mandli's Eleven Keeps First But Loses Unscored-On Record By Ernie Useman An amazing display of control football was presented Saturday afternoon by McHenry's first place Warriors as they scored a T.D. and 20 yd. field goal at Palatine to overcome the Pirate's Merutka and Co. in what was termed the conference "Champ ionsh i p" game. Palatine's Homecoming throng experienced mixed emotions as their Home 11 became the first team-- and possible the only team --to cross a Warrior goal all season, but they still lost nearly all hope of copping the first place crown. It was a smashing groundhugging Warrior offense which ate up important yards and minutes and kept the pigskin from Pirate possession, combined with a penetrating, lossthrowing defense, which held the Palatine score to 6. The greatest Pirate sight of first half Warrior land followed McHenry's opening kicKoff, as 2 first downs and 3 plays brought action to the Warrior 38. The Pirates later nad possession after a punt for 4 plays, but for the remaining lVs minutes of the first quarter and the entire 2nd period --13^ minutes in all --the Palatine Q.B. called only 8 plays which netted a minus 2 yards. During that time the Warriors pushed from their own 10 to the Palatine 13 for their longest 1st half drive. It took 5 minutes to make 19 of those 47 yds., as McHenry would make 7 yds., lose 10, come back to within 2 of a first down, then gamble and win. But a 4th and 5 situation forced a McHenry punt, and the receiver was dropped hard on his own 10. Two plays which lost 2 yds. set up the big Warrior break, as Co-Captain Morenz recovered a Pirate fumble just 5 yds: from 6 points. On the next play DeCicco Henry catcher of those days swung for 4 yds., and with 2:28 and, John Freund caught for i in the half a quarterback Johnsburg. Bob Knox must sneak brought the final yard have been a mere youth, but probably was in the lineup. DAILY PINUPS A golden wedding is many times one in which a couple h&ve gone fifty-fifty. Pedestrians are people who should be seen and not hurt; dttvers are they who should drive and not flirt. ,If you aren't satisfied with your lot in life, build on it Then there was the fellow who found out that a law s#it was more than a policeman's uniform. and pay dirt. Faunt's extra point try bounced back off the left upright, leaving the score 6-0. On the first Pirate play after kickoff, R. Freund snared a pass on his own 40 and exploded down the left sidelines following tremendous downfield blocking to the Palatine 21. Three plays netted 1 yd., setting the stage for a 4th and 9 field goal attempt from 20 yds. out. Aware of Faunt's kicking ability but very doubtful of seeing the ball travel from 8 yds. behind the 20 yd. scrimmage line threw the uprights 10 yds. behind the joal line, both stands quieted as signals were called. But just as sweetly as Blanda's best, the senior Warrior's kick split the posts and added what was then termed "just" 3 points. Four post kickoff Pirate plays killed the remaining 47 seconds. Second Half Scare McHenry's most crucial defensive stand came shortly into the 3rd' quarter after an early Wamor fumble. Starting action on the McHenry 25, the Pirates had their closest look it the opposition's goal line, and Palatine hopes raised. But three plays later they were only 6 yds. closer, and a 4th down fumble stopped the scoring threat . . . . , The W a r r i o r u n i t t h e n An optimist is a woman who matched their fine defensive starts putting on her shoes (demonstration with the game's when the preacher gets around longest sustained drive of 72 to "and in conclusion".

But 5 plays later McHenry repeated theirx earlier error and lost the ball just 2 yds. shy of a second T.D. The 4 plays at the beginning of the 3rd period, the fumble, and 3 plays ending the quarter were again the extent of Pirate possession for 12 minutes. When the Warrior's slowbut- sure offense did give up the ball,v before long their defense shook it loose and got it back. First Opposing Score With McHenry holding Palatine to a 4th and 6 spot on the Pirate 32 late in the last period, it appeared the Warrior goal would once more go uncrossed. But on the punt the 4th -- and fortunately the last --McHenry's bobble bounced into Pirate arms, presenting a last Homecoming hope. Knowing that defeat was still almost inevitable, Palatine suddenly displ a y e d a greater desire to score than they had shown to win for the entire game. Battling to keep their opposing point record at zero, the Warriors held off the sparked Pirate threat until only the numbers 28 showed on the clock. But from 1 ft. out, fullback Merutka hammered over for a compensating 6 points. The extra point attempt missed and the game ended one play after kickoff, 9-6. McH. Pal. Yds.

Crashing defenders like Mars, L. Freund, ' Fletcher, Miller, Farr, R. Freund, and Nowicki were constantly at the Pirate backfield's heels, as the quarterback alone lost 39 yds. And it seemed the Warriors were ready for the Pirate big man, fullback Merutka, as 13 carries netted him only 52 yds., although this figure was barely shy of Palatine's total yds. gained. With Barrington and Zicn Benton fighting to a 13-13 tie, and Dundee taking Libertyville 12-6, McHenry must win one of the 2 remaining games to be guaranteed a first place title. If the Warriors should lose both, they could end up tied for second with either Barrington or Zion who now share a 2-2-1 record. And it might be Palatine, yet to cruise over Woodstock and Crystal Lake, or Dundee, both claiming 3 and 2, who would end up on top. So the last 2 Warrior contests are just as worthy of the term "Championship" as was last week's. The McHenry-Bar r i n g t o n rivalry is usually enough to create quite a tussle, but under the present conditions it'll be a game you should make a point to see. The Warrior Frost-Soph duel ended in a 6-6 tie, as the Cuda- Hargis crew was unable to pull out another T.D. despite being within the Pirate 10 yd. line 4 times.

Once more, however, Roland Koerper was able to outrun all of the other runners and won in the fast time of 9:29, which broke the McHenry record of 9:35:5, which he himself set a few days before. The other McHenry boys who helped in the scoring were, Fletcher 13th, Harris 14th, Stueben 15th and Bob McDonald 16th, who moved into the scoring column for the first time this year. Bob is one of the hardest working boys on the squad, and has shown a steady improvement all fall. The Frosh-Soph won their match, defeating Dundee 33-37 and Mundelein 33r52. The McHenry runners who helped in the scoring were Wcirich 2nd, Creighton Sfd, Dimon 7th, Snell 10th and Mauch 11th. Running against the strongest team they will meet all season, the Warriors were badly beaten by Palatine; the Varsity by a score of 17-14 and the" Frosh-Soph by a score of 16-47. Koerper ran a fine race but had to accept a 4th place finish due to the outstanding runners from Palatine. Among the McHenry runners, Bob McDonald continued to show fine improvement by finishing second to Koerper. He was followed by Stueben, Lishamer, and Harris. In the Frosh-Soph race, Bill Creighton finished first for the McHenry runners, followed by Weirich, Dimon, Snell, and Mauch.

HURRICANES OF MARIAN IN FIRST DEFEAT Away Saturday To Face Mundelein's "Shotgun" Offense Coach Tom Parsley's premonition of trouble at Marian Central -- expressed in his dissatisfaction with the Hurricanes' showing at St. Francis a week ago despite a victory -- proved an accurate forecast of what was to befall the high-flying team. Beloit Catholic took care pf Marian in lightning-like fashion last weekend, and now the coaching staff must figure ways to help the squad rebound for an even tougher foe this Saturday. Marian visits Libertyville to meet the new Mundelein high school team .at 2 p.m. Mundelein is a {school formed when the Lib- 'tertyville-Fremont high school district was divided. Included in the split were several of Libertyville's top football players from last y e a r ' s c h a m p i o n s h i p t e a m . Marian will face its toughest day in Lee Weston. Weston received his baptism of fire through two seasons of fierce competition in the North Suburban league as Libertyville's No. 1 quarterback. Chip Johnson, a good halfback, accompanied Weston and several other lettermen to Mundelein. Several things are being worked on in practice this week. Beloit ran two kickoffs more than 70 yards for touchdowns. St. Francis pulled a similar maneuver but had it nulified with a penalty. Marian is working on kickoff and punt return defenses this week. Passing also slipped, the team completing only 9 for 25 passes attempted. Beloit gained 192 yards rushing to Marian's 119 yards rushing. One • bright spot continues to be the punting of Pete Parker, sophomore. Parker averaged 45 yards with his boots, and the way Marian's offense failed to work, he had plenty of chances to practice! Against Immaculate Conception earlier this year he launched a 52- yard boot. Marian's first touchdown came on a 40-yard drive. Bill Riley snaked over on a quarterback keeper play after he and Mike Purvey directed the team toward the goal. Purvey's 31-yard pass to Ed Crowley in the final quarter netted the other score. Bruce Peterson annexed the extra point, small consolation for a team expected to post its sixth win. Instead Marian takes a 5-1 record to Libertyville against a team that uses Weston's passing and running ability to copy the "shotgun" offense the San Francisco 49'ers have used with success until last Sunday when they ran into the Chicago Bears. Parsley hopes the Hurricanes can emulate the Bears' recent success!

DIPIETRA WINS CHAIN 0' LAKES MARATHON RACE McHenry Drivers Make Fine Showing In Grueling Test John DiPietra of Chicago drove his Switzercraft pleasure boat to victory in the annual five hour marathon sponsored by. the Chain O' Lakes Boat Club on Oct. 15. This was Di- Pietra's third attempt at this grueling test of driver and equipment. His Mercury powered hull completed 99 laps of approximately two mile length to average nearly 40 mph. Bob Switzer of McHenry, a well known marathon driver, was the alternate driver of the DiPietra craft. Switzer was instrumented in the designing of this pleasure boat. Beautiful weather was the delight of some 3,000 spectators who witnessed this last race of the 1961 season on Fox Lake. Calm water prevailed except in the backstretch off Lippincott point where the boats encountered white caps. Of the 28 starting boats only 12 finished the enduring water spectacle. Lou Eppel's catamaran hull powered by twin Johnson's led the race into the fourth hour with 82 laps when a swivel bracket forced the boat out of competition. Eppel of Libertyville was one of the predicted favorites before the race started. Motors were lost into the water, boats sank and were near sinking, batteries gave out, motor brackets broke and lower units fell off during the course of the event. Drivers were completely exh a u s t e d, however, no injuries were encountered. Vince Weishaupl of North Lake drove his "Miss Pronounced" to victory for the first hour event to capture the well-known Helen Waller Memorial Trophy. Weishaupl averaged approximately 60 mph Open Wk.
