AjpFotii a* 9 ^ m THE McHENBlT PIJUNDEaLER Thursday, January s.* il£|| SO I HEAR... There is joy in ttfhfed Warrior basketball camp this week after beating both Rockford teams, East and West, in the holiday round robin meet. Mtny thought the Warriors were stepping into company too fast for them. Elgin High was in the group, a pretty fair country team, you know. But, Elgin fell to Rockford. The next game on the schedule has Dundee coming here Friday, Jan. 10. McHenry travels to St. Edward's at Elgin the next night. The Dundee game might prove to be a, key game in the conference race. Reports have it that Coach Johnny Paul has a team this year that is clicking. Our guess is that free throws will tell a big part of the story in this game. Watch 'em. And more good news at MCHS. Coach Bill Hutchinson was in with a report on his wrestling team. He had three champs in the Mundelein tournament. While team spirit runs high on the McHenry squad, it is a sport where each man is on his own when he gets on that mat. Being matched for weight makes wrestling a good sport. Ability, stamina and courage are important. The local squad gets back into action at Zion-Benton Jan. 10. The death last week of Mrs. "Mose" had us wandering back down memory lane. We had some*<great days with the Renichs and the Moshers when they ran the Plaindealer. Mrs. Renich, a strong Republican, never stopped egging uson to pour it on her husband and "Mose" in this column. They were Republicans all the way and gave us the woi^ks whenever the chance came along. Mrs. "Mose" smiled through our."battles" ancl had great fun a couple of times when a few readers took it seriously and urged "Mose" to fire us for being a Democrat. She didn't smile one New Year's Eve when "Mose" and yours truly got lost for a few hours. But, the smile came back when our ridiculous excuses were presented. We haven't caught all the high bowling scores for honorable mention, but a 277 game by Jim Larkin goes to the top of the heap. That's getting wood. Betty Clark reminds us that Barbara Leight rolled a 242 game recently. Nice going. The last day of the year is with us and the last column of '63. Haven't time to make up our resolutions,, but always have some unused ones left over. HAPPY NEW YEAR! And may '64 be kind to you. Time marches on, but memories are a treasure. When success goes to your heart, it is safe: when it goes to your head it may go overboard. An unfinished sentence can easily turn into an unfinished sermon.

Gallant Warriors Win 77-62 Over East Rockford By Dick Rabbitt A gallant group of McHenry Warriors outshot and out-rebounded the highly regarded ERabs from East Rockford last Friday night in the Rockford round robin tourney and came home with an impressive 77-62 win over the Rockford crew. In the latest poll, East Rockford was the 13th ranked team in the state. The Rabs started fast and scored 6 points #before Laurence's tip in put (the locals -fn the scoreboard. With Sternberg, Gibson, and Bloom hitting at will the E-Rabs led at the quarter 24-16. Coach Fulton evidently spoke some words of encouragement as the 2nd quarter began as the Warriors began to jell. Chris Newkirk, in his first starting role, hit 2 quick buckets, followed by baskets by Laurence and Smith and the game was tied 24-24. The lead see-sawed back and forth until Lockwood's 2 free throws put McHenry ahead 38-36 at the intermission. In the 3rd quarter, Richie Smith, Warrior guard, took over and put on a tremendous display of shooting, ringing the nets for 12 points. With the rebounding of Kusch, Laurence and Mayfield, the Warriors pulled ahead 59-50. Starting the 4th quarter with Laurence and Kusch on the bench with 4 fouls the Warriors never faltered. Newkirk started ringing the hoop and with newcomer Terry Margraff rebounding the locals held their own. With 5:10 remaining Kusch and Laurence returned and it was quite evident to the crowd of 2,700 that the mighty E-Rabs were not going to win. As the game entered into the closing minutes it was a question of how badly McHenry would defeat East. The McHenry lads came to play ball. They were not awed by "the highly ranked E-Rabs. Down by as much as 10 points in the opening quarter the Warriors fought back. Once they went into the lead, they never fell behind. It was a tremendous team victory and proves that on any given night our Warriors can compete yttth the best in the slate. The Warriors had 4 players in double figures, Smith hhd 26 and led all scorers. Sternberg and Bloom with 16 each led the East Rockford team.

Thus, the Warriors came away with their second victory in as many nights. After Kusch's opening basket, with 38 seconds gone in the game, the Warriors settled down to the task before them. With Petty of West hitting 5 of his 7 points in the opening quarter, the teams split 22 points. During the 2nd quarter, baskets by Newkirk, Laurence, and three free throws by Mayfield, plus a bucket by Lockfood,. the local lads began to pull away to a comfortable 29- 17 halftime lead. Lockwood, still finding the range, and great rebounding by Laurence the Warriors pulled* to a ,40-20 lead at one time during the quarter. West, not to be denied, hit 5 straight baskets and fthe quarter ended with McHenry leading 40-30. Two quick baskets at the outset of the period narrowed the local lead to 40-34, until Lockwood and Kusch each hit successive baskets "to put the Warriors in front 44-34. McHenry held this lead for a 52-41 victory. . Although not as alert as they were Friday night, nevertheless the local squad played well enough to win. The general comment around the gym was that McHenry was asked to play more •-- or less as a breather for the Rockford teams. By defeating highly regarded East 'and West Rockford on successive nights the Warriors won the praise of-the Rockford fans. Winning two games from two of the strongest teams in ISorthern ..Illinois should give the Warriors a boost in morale. It was a job well done and the McHenry fans should be proud of =Coach Fulton and his band of mighty Warriors.

October 26, 1963, in a strip mine lake near Farmington. Giles, using a 12-pound test line, fought the fish for an hour. He baited his hook with a special preparation of his own making. The previous record was held by Edwin Kaniski and Carl Biasing, Lemont, who landed a 27-pound, 14 ounce channel cat near Lemont in 1961. The world's record channel cat, weighing 57 pounds, was caught in South Carolina in 1960. It is seldom that a fish of this species weighing over 20 pounds is taken, though we would venture to say that there are probably a few of these big cats lurking in the Fox River and Chain O' Lakes. MARIAN WINS FROM NORTH BOONE AND MARENGO IN MEET,. by Mike Wieser The Marian Central' Hurricanes, playing in the Marengo Holiday Tournament, Teached the finals, by beating North Boone on Friday evening 47- 36 and conquering one of the co-favorites, Marengo, 59-42 on Saturday night. The "Blue and Red" had a bit4" of trouble getting started against North Boone as they were on the short end of a 10-0 lead until 1:53 of the 1st quarter, when Paul Nitz got things started with a three point play, and the quarter .ended with North Boone oil top 10-9. The 2nd quarter was quite shabby, but Marian scored 5 points to the Vikings 2 and had a half-time lead of 14^12. The Hurricanes / busted the game wide open in the 3rd quarter and held leads of 10 to 15 points at various stages of the gamp to finally win by 11 points. Ken Frost played a very good game in place of Paul Nitz who had picked tip 3 fouls early in the game and his 4th foul early in the second Jialf. Leading scorers "in the game were Pete Parker of Marian and Downey of North Boone with 12 apiece, with Tim Murphy of the Hurricanes the only other man in dpuble figures with 11. In Saturday evening's contest. the Marian Hurricanes were matched against the Marengo Indians and played a superb defensive game, with the emphasis on ball control. The 1st quarter was even at 8 all, but stood at 24-16, Marian, at the half. Marengo came within four points of the lead midway in the 3rd quarter, but after that, the Hurricanes pulled steadily away for their second tournament victory 59- 42. Paul Nitz's 26 points and Clarence Adams' 18 led the scorers of both teams and the nine fouls committed by the entire Marian team, comprised the all time low record for fouls for the Hurricanes in their five year history.

In addition to the almost 15,- 000 questionnaires which were completed and returned to me, 1 have received an estimated 10,000 letters, telegrams and post' cards. Replies have been made to virtually all of these. More than 5,000 copies of bills, descriptive brochures and informational pamphlets from federal agencies and departments were mailed in reply to requests. During this first session, a total of 11,138 bills were introduced in the Congress. Of this number, only 306 were enacted into law -- including my first bill (H. R. 6001) which conveys certain land to the Waukegan Port district. A total of 913 individual ny Wash firs session. In addition, tour groups numbering 859 students, faculty, and chaperonpk who visited Washington stopped by to see me, either in the House chamber, on the Capitol steps, or to quietly inspect the paintings% on my office walls. Of these, perhaps the Waukegan grade school band -- some 90- odd talented young musicians -- made the greatest impact on Washington when they presented several beautiful concerts here in April, appearing in various public areas. A total of twenty other States and thirteen foreign countries were represented among my callers. Despite the year-long session, I have been able to make eighteen trips home. Right after Christmas, I will be there for a few precious days before returning to the nation's Capitol and the second session of the 88lh Congress. My next report will be issued after the opening of that session.

Every car dealer knows that despite his best efforts to render service he still loses a certain percentage of customers who fail to continue to patronize his dealership once they have taken delivery of their new or used car. Why and how much of this repeat business is lost was surveyed recently by industry economists with interesting results. Taking an average 100 buyers, e tabulation -1/ s^owo^ that 48'/o u JMtk of those buyers •fc • no longer patronized the selling dealer at the end of four years; 81'/ at the end of ten years. The breakdown showed thai 82',f of the customers who took their business elsewhere in the first four years, did so on their own because of a combination of unadjusted complaints, discourteous treatment, poor service or indifference. The remaining losses, were due to deaths, moving to other cities and being directly influenced to trade elsewhere.
