our THE McHENRY PLAINDEALEK •Thursday#'October 15* 1964 , rne|] «*.» rt l t.ajii JFAJ UJOSASL. SO I HEAR The third strike was called on Bob Knox last week as he was suddenly called to his Maker. As one of the greatest athletes we have ever seen, it was hard to get Bob out. He had a great competitive spirit and played to win. We were telling "Red" Winkel, who played baseball with Bob, about sitting through a game with him at Johnsburg one Sunday afternoon and learning more fine points of the game that we could get out of a book in a week of reading. * While Bob liked all sports, we think baseball was his first love. He played the game on a diamond in the Relihan cow pasture and Knoxes' Hill on Irish Prairie, in McHenry or anyplace there was a game in swing. As a young lad, we watched Bob play in Johnnie Miller's pasture at Johnsburg and stir up such a fuss by running along the base line from the third base coaches' box that we thought sure there would be one less Irishman on this earth. & Another good friend is gone. We hope he is getting the World Series up there. A couple of McHenry Old Timers, Fred Nickels of Barrington and Art Patzke of Elgin, were in to see us this week. The phone kept ringing so our conversation wasn't long enough. Those McHenry Warrior football men really did themselves proud last Friday night as they beat the visiting Zion team 20-0. The line play was rugged to say the least. George Koch was at his best in totin' that ball for long runs. We suspect that Jim Morenz was not called upon to carry the ball as much'as strategy would indicate because of an injured leg. Of course, Jimpicked up valuable yardage when a few yards were needed. And, he blocks! Koch had one long run called back because of a holding penalty. The Warriors were in a good position to score that time. A fumble near the goal line also seemed to lose another great opportunity to score. And, listen my children and you shall hear. Ron Gelvin kicked two extra points. We called that history being made in McHenry. Rich Albright, not too big for an end, was all football player4 in our eyes. Gene Brooke will tell you about the play of some of the bigger boys in his report of the game. Come to think of it, our band performed real snappy between halves of the game. They must have to practice as much as the teamjp get those formations working. Assistant Coach Bud Murray has been handling the phone from the booth this year and rates in our book as a sharp observer. Bob Hendrichs pushes the little buttons that keep the score board in action. Says he has to watch the officials so closely that he misses the game. Then we have Burt "Brickhouse" Hagemann at the mike and George Cina and his fine new camera making movies of every game. It takes a lot of cooperation Open Weekdays 6:45 Sat.

"Mac" still goes a fast pace in seeing that everything goes well. Joe Schmitt sees that the field is in good shape. Special policemen handle the crbwd and traffic. This could go on and on and we would probably not mention everybody. The team managers are an important part of the game and it is comforting to see Dr. Griesbach along the sidelines every game to take care 6f any injuries. Then we have the ticket sellers and ticket takers. Maybe more sports events are the answer to the unemployment problem. Oh! Those snappy cheerleaders. Let's not forget them. We haven't tried to get to the refreshment stand. Must be some workers in there. We hear the Alex Justens will represent McHenry at the World Series in St. Louis this week. Maybe they will give us a report. Our prediction "The Yankees in 6 games" seems to have missed the target. Those Cardinals are playing baseball. This column will hit the press before the sixth game is finished so our comments must wait. Carl Buckner, a real Cardinal fan, is the happiest man in town right now. Looks like "The Padre" has left us. How about a few Pick- Ups from "The Juvenile"? If both come in, we will alternate-- or something.

Here Friday For As Warriors Libertyville Homecoming by Gene Brooke The big McHenry eleven illustrated tremendous desire and fantastic ability last Friday night when they dumped a strong Zion team 20-0. This victory moved McHenry a step closer to a conference crown and from ail indications it is going to take a big tough team with strong desire to keep the title from the Warriors' grasp! Since the game was the only Friday night game played last weekend, most of the conference coaches probably attended. They saw what was probably the finest game of the season. George Koch was fantastic-- but so were the giants in the line that opened gaping holes for him. Too much could not be said for the defense -- it was superb. With the exception of the second quarter, the Warriors kept Zion from consistently moving the ball. If the Warriors can keep their spirit and work as well together in - the next games, McHenry will be this year's conference champions. Immediately after receiving the kick-off the Warriors started a 65 yard drive. Rich Soda, the McHenry quarterback, kept his team on the ground most of the time. With Covalt, Gelvin and Oppenheim opening big holes for Koch and Morenz, there was little need for going to the air. However, Soda did throw one pass in the opening drive and Zion was called for interference which gave the Warriors a first down deep in Zion territory. Finally, Soda gave Koch the ball on the se gave Koch the ball on the seover for six points. Gelvin missed on the try for the extra point. Zion Takes To The Air Zion's strongest threat began after McHenry kicked off. The Zion team controlled the ball for the last part of the fljftt period and' almost the entire second period. However, they could not score. Coach Hargis had his team work all week on defending against the powerful running plays of Zion. He itt^jst have been surprised when 2£tbn ran many plays from a spread and threw the ball. With this spread formation, Zion passed and ran their way down to the Warrior five yard line. It looked as though Zion woi^d score--but a determined Warrior team kept working and prevented the score from being tied. Three incomplete passes halted the drive and broke the score 6-0. Zion received some of the Zion spirit. The second half started with and began another series of passes. This time Rich Albright intercepted a Zion pass and put the Warriors in position to start the drive that resulted in their second score. With Koch and Morenz busting through the tough Zion line the Warriors moved the ball to the three yard line. Koch again plunged for the score. The Warriors then lined up for the extra point attempt. Ron Gelvin stood and waited for the snap of the ball. Then, when the ball was snapped and set, Ron split the uprights. He had kicked his first extra point of the year. The fans were delighted and cheered with approval. The Warriors had succeeded in solving a big problem and hours of practice had paid off. The Warriors were leading 13-0. Another Point! The final drive of the Warriors started in the fourth quarter after a Zion punt. This drive was 64 yards. The Warriors still looked strong and w^re still moving the ball consistently. They weren't satisfied with 13 points--they wanted the victory to be decisive. They wanted to let the other conference teams to take notice. So they drove for another score and sent George Koch over again from four yards out. Ron Gelvin kicked another point and the Warriors won 2-0. George Koch had one of his finest nights. He gained 195 yards on 27 carries. His teammate Jim Morenz added 53 on the ground. Jim picks them up the hard way--straight up the middle. However, these boys needed the line play they received. Without the fine line play that the Warriors had Friday night there would have been no victory. McHenry's record now stands at 2-0-1. Zion's is 2-1. North Chicago and Barrington are also still in the title picture. Perhaps the title will remain in question until the Warriors play North Chicago. That game will be the last one of the year and will be fought on McCracken field. Next week is homecoming. The Warriors will host Libertyville. Even though Libertyville is down this year, they have always given the Warriors a lot of trouble. It will take the same type of play and the same spirit to beat Libertyville that it took to beat Zion. Try to make the game and watch a good strong Warrior team* See you there.

FLAG FOOTBALL PLAYED WITH ZEAL AT LOCAL SCHOOL Johnsburg grade school began football season recently with a 13 to 7 win Over Channel Lake at Johnsburg. Scoring touchdowns were Tommy Hurckes \andv Ted Bierchen, with WaVen NHier providing the pass fo^ extra point. On last Wednesday the boys travelled to Big Hollow and unf< 3rcunately lost the first conference game in the past four years. The game was a close one, 13 to '7, and fought valiantly. Scoring for Johnsburg was Eddie Jost, with Billy Hoerner passing for the one point. The boys work hard and very seriously at the game of flag football, so called because all wear flags in their belts and a tackle is accomplished by the removal of this flag. Following the usual custom, girls from sixth through eighth grade at Johnsburg public school tried out this year for a place on the cheerleading squad. Performing before the combined fifth through eighth grade classes, they were rated by the teachers, and from this rating ten were selected. Comprising the list are Karen Bauer, Elaine Fail, Sheila Marshall, Melody Pedersen and Peggy Petersen, eighth graders; Linda Hosier, Margaret Moore and Gail Neilson, seventh graders; and Dolores Bierchen and Jona Gehlaar, sixth graders.

Marian boosted its own morale and marked itself a wor-*5 thy title contender last week end with a workmanlike come from-behind .13-7 victory at Notre Dame of Niles. Murphy Goes Over Quarterback Tim Murphy executed a pass-run option like the veteran all conference prospect he is to score the winning touchdown on a 14-yard run around left end. . The clock showed two minutes of the fourth period remaining! Murphy then place-kicked the extra point for the 13-7 final score. Coach Tom Parsley praised the senior quarterback for his leadership and determination.

Notre Dame completed only two out of nine passes for 37 yards and picked up 128 yards rushing. Marmion is ijoted for a troublesome passing attack and strong, fast backs.

Halfback Joe Jaeger passed and ran the Marmion eleven to the commanding position, and Halfback Rick Bordenave had a 20-yard touchdown run.
