Section One ,--- Page Four THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Thursday, February 18, 1965 Warriors Go All The Way Up For Ball Vs. Woodstock jh, ecutje. waUh. SO I HEAR The Joe Ettens send a card from Miami. Bill Pearson sends one from California. They are soaking up the sunshine andenjoying the beautiful scenery. We are waiting for the day when somebody will write from Alaska or someplace and say, "Wish we were there." We have visited funeral homes so much recently that the thought occurs to us that it might be time for a checkup on our physical condition. They say the mental outlook is also important, but let's go into that later. Eleanore Conway Miller, a good soul if ever there, was one, died too soon. Bill Smith of Johnsburg and Joe Regner left us long before their allotted three score and ten. Both had many friends in the community. We had lots of fun with Joe in days gone by. We really didn't think George Kane would ever die. He was as steady as grandma's clock. Nicer fellows just don't come along to replace the likes o' George. This week we lost an old neighbor, Ben Justen. Have had enough wakes for a while. Wish somebody would invite us to a wedding. One thing about a wedding, we can smile when we offer sympathy to the groom. They had 'em hanging from the rafters in our gym last Friday night for the big game with the Woodstock Blue Screaks. Some people could not get in the gym and were very unhappy* We would call this one the game of the year. The Streaks Started strong, showed real ability in zipping the ball around and looked like a well-coached team. Our hat is off to Coach Fulton and his players. They were up against a good team and were playing before a crowd that acted like, this one was for the statte championship. Our coach and players all came through in great style. Woodstock's big man, Martindale, showed why he is rated by many as a good candidate for All-Star honors. When his coach pulled him out front in the last quarter, it may have weakened the team under the boards, but he dropped in baskets like he invented the game. The tenseness of this game showed up early, but a world of credit must-go to the officials for keeping the game under control. They ran the game as good officials should. Zion-Benton comes to town for a game Friday night. That should be another whin^-ding battle. The Northern Illinois group was among the archery clubs entering teams in the sports show in Chicago and all had a good time. Les Adams, John and Beverly Dieball were there from McHenry. John Zawaski of Evanston, Harve Eady of Chicago, and Jean Bird of Wauconda were participating team members. Bill Pearson says this is a small world. He visited Huntington Memorial at San Moreno, Calif., recently and saw a brown Chrysler with an Illinois license. Closer inspection showed a "Fury Motors McHenry" sticker. He didn't have time to wait for the owner to return to his car. Standing Room Crowd Sees Warriors Beat Woodstock 70 - 62 « The high - flying McHenry Warrior cagers thrilled a standing room only crowd in the local gym last Friday night as they hurdled the Woodstock Blue Streaks in a crucial conference tilt by the score of 70- 62. The visiting club of Coach Gib Kurtz jumped into an early lead and in an effort to slow down the Warrior fast break held the ball for a considerable amount of time in the initial period. The Streaks managed a 14-8 lead at the end of a quarter on the strength of Mike Meyers and Dan Hart's four points apiece. Ev Martindale, the Streaks all-State candidate, performed solely as a playmaker in the period, but did manage to add two points to the Woodstock total. The Warriors grabbed the lead early in the second stanza and were never headed. Hiller and Laurence led the Warrior attack in the period that saw the Warriors outrace the Streaks 18-12 in the period and head for the locker room at halftime with a slim 26-24 margin. The aggressive rebounding of Myron Bentz and Laurence enabled the Warriors to increase their lead to ten points by the end of the third quarter. Rich Smith tossed in eight points of the 23 run up by the Warriors in the period and Bentz added six. The dominating board play of the Warriors was a vital factor in the Orange atid Black surge. The Streaks tried a zone press and a man to man press in the final stanza but the Warriors were not to be denied. Smith and Bentz repeatedly scored on easy Jay-ups^ as the Warriors broke through the Streak defenses in easy fashion. At one stage in the final period the Warriors had a commanding 13 point lead. The main Woodstock attraction of the late stages of the game was the fine shooting display of Martindale. The Streak star tossed in eleven of his game total of 20 points in the last quarter. However, it was not enough as the Warriors coasted the last 2 minutes and won by the 70-62 count. Rich Smith played a fine game, led all scorers with 23 points and brought the packed house to its feet with a sensational behind the back pass going at full speed on a -fast break sitution. Bentz followed with 16. Laurence had 13 and Hiller 12. The victory moved the Warriors into a second place tie with^he Woodstock club, each having an 8-4 conference record'. Coach Fulton was delighted after the game and definitely felt that the improved rebounding of the Warriors in the second half was a turning point. Sophs Win I The McHenry s'ophs continued j on their winning ways as thinavenged an early season loss by the score of 55-45 in the prelim. Coach Jerry Fain's club has played very fine ball for the last month now. North Suburban Standings Dundee 10 2 734 643 Dahl, Lib. Goers, Dundee Smith, Zion Smith, McHenry Spriggs, N.C.

Warriors Host Zion Friday The next critical game on the Warrior conference schedule will be a tilt this Friday, Feb. 19, against a Zion ball club with the potential to derail the Warrior express toward a share of the conference crown. Led by Mel Smith, who has performed sensationally against the Warriors for the past couple of years, the Zion club is fresh from a victory over a well regarded Libertyville team, and lost a one point game to Mundelein last Saturday. Mundelein has already captQxed the Tri-County crown. The task this week of Coach Fulton will be to get his band concentrating on the Zion game, and not looking ahead to the Dundee clash a week hence. Regardless of the outcome of the Woodstock-Dundee clash this week at Woodstock, the Rudi J. Photo Muscles strain as McHenry and Woodstock Basketball players have but one thought -- Get that ball! Warriors must beat the Zee- Bees to have any mathematical chance of sharing the coveted conference championship. In the early season game with Zion the Warriors won an exciting 84-80 overtime victory. It was not an easy win by any means. The Warriors had to go all out to cop the victory and anything less than another stellar performance will spell doom to the Warrior cause. Action Shot As Huge Crowd Sees Warrior - Streak Game With all seats taken at the game last Friday night, Harry Conway graciously told us he was tired sitting and gave us his seat. When we told his wife, Ethel, that we owed him a drink, she retorted, "He'll take it, too!" The first recorded international shipment of coal was in 1325, from England to France.

Our sophs came out ahead 55-52, but the freshmen were swamped 89-1. McHenry shot putter John Fleck's throw of 47'4" is a very good mark at this time of year. Fred Kusch--now at the U of Minnesota, holder of the McHenry HS record of 50' 11", had a throw of 45'4" on March 26, 1964. Let's shoot for the record, John. George Koch's 6:2 in the low hurdles tied the fieldhouse record and we hope predicts a banner year for this young athlete who has placed in the state finals of the low hurdles as a sophomore and in the 100 yard dash as a junior. Chris Rasmussen, McHenry sophomore miler, started off the year with a very good 5:01 effort in winning the varsity mile. The McHenry teams did quite well in the face of non-existent practice facilities. Coach Bill Perry's shot putters work out by lifting weights in the Landmark school gym --- his pole vaulters have no place to vault. Coach Dick Rabbitt's dislance men work out by running outdoors and by running from top to bottom of the stairs in the high school. Coach .^Don Seaton's^ hurdlers and ' sprinters work out by running distances outdoors and by practicing starts and hurdles in one 50 yard stretch of school corridor. High jumpers have no place in which to practice. The number of b[dys trying out for indoor track must be kept down because of this lack of space which makes it difficult to put competitors in every event.

Harvard won the tournament with 82 points and following were Wauconda 64 points, Barrington 61, McHenry 52, Crystal Lake 36, Ela Vernon 33, and Cary Grove 28. Sophomores who lost to more experienced wrestlers in the first round of wrestling were, iohn Henneberg 95 pounds, Sam Lamont 112, Larry Young 138, A1 Sallustie 145, Mike Sobacki 154, Ken Schuerr 165, and Tom Dougherty 180. All looked promising in defeat. Dave Freund, Mr. Mite, won the Barrington trict championship at pounds by pounding away at three straight opponents, pinning the first two and beating Coltrell of Barrington 8-0 in the final match. Heavyweight Ron Gelvin also did the same, pinning his first two opponents, but had to come from behind to win in an overtime bout with Woujtak of Cary Grove. Anderson Loses On Referee's Decision Jim "The Cricket" Anderson, a mainstay all season at 120 pounds, lost the championship bout after wrestling Schmidt of Cary Grove to-a 0-0 regulation and overtime match on the referee's decision. Although it still hurts to lose in such a case, Jim is an old hand at losing close championship bouts. He lost the conference championship 95 pound class two years ago in the last 5 seconds and in the same year lost the state district with one second to go. Rich Wolf lost in the championship match to Rold of WaUr conda on a reversal in the last period. Wolf, who did not win a match a year ago, came back this year placing 3rd in the conferencp and 2nd in the state district. Glosson Wins Final For Third Place Co-captain Dean Glosson, a boy with real desire who gives' his coach, team and school all the sinew and heart in him, fought his way to a 3rd place finish in his final match for McHenry by defeating Smith of Ela Vernon.
