ff ffc; Thursday/ September 2. 1965 THE McHENRY PLAXNDEALER Section One -- Page Four, SO I HEAR... By: Earl Walsh Just finished watching the White Sox lose a double header to Baltimore this Tuesday n'ght so we are not in a jolly mood. But, win or lose, it is our lot to have to get Up and go to work in the morning. As much as we hate to admit it, our Sox haven't been able to beat the top teams in the league. You can't win or deserve a pennant that way. Of course, second place isn't so bad. At least there are more below you than above. However, in sports there is only one satisfactory place to finish and that's on top. Trading away Jim Landis and trusting center field to rookie Ken Berry hasn't been a huge success although Ken looks great at times. And there are other disappointments. In The Foggy, Foggy*"Dew lIt. ---[fitflrnirr ,-*r • An August dew, given an assist by a good sized rainfall in; Thursday evening's Storm, providede a somewhat watery football field back of Junior-high schobl last Friday morning. Undaunted, about twenty young fellows in their early teens took to the sports arena for a few hours of fun. Here they are shown splashing toward the goal line. We had a talk with County Clerk Vernon Kays this week, a great White Sox fan who admits he is in the minority group in his circles. Vern misses his daily talks with the late George Sullivan and has to figure out what the Sox need all by himself. But, if we are feeling badly, how must our dear friends the Cub fans be holding up through strain and stress. Guess nobody expects too much from those Cubs. The experts told us the Sox were heading for the pennant. They aren't so smart! We expect to see big news in changes of Sox before another season rolls around. Watch us next year! Here's a change of pace irom our worries about the Sox: Remember way back when? The Joe Justen family lived on the farm across the road from St. Mary's cemetery. Following a thunder shower, along with the rainbow came a bugle blast from that vicinity. Did this signify the end of the rain? I wonder if Frank Justen had anything to do with that bugle serenade? Any comments, Frank? Grandma We wouldn't know who Grandma might be. Frank still reads the old home town paper way out there in the west so maybe he will send an answer. Somebody said women are supposed to be smarter than men. But did you ever see a man wearing a shirt buttoned up the back? No -- we haven't. But, that's just one of the reasons a woman needs a man around the house. These style-makers are coming out with shorter than ever little numbers for women and men are warned that looking from the north at a gal as she is going south may lead you to think she is a 12 year old. Next thing you know they will bring back knickers for men. Was a time a boy wore knickers with long black sox until he grew up. The day he wore that first pair of long pants was the day he became a man. And from all the remarks he had to take, it might have been better to fight than switch. After watching ball players this year we want this young Tony Conigliaro, right fielder for the Boston Red Sox, for our team. He can run from home to first faster than you can pronounce his name. When dishing out praise to Warriors Working Hard In Practice For the past week the Mc- Henry Warriors have been going through some tough practice session under the guidance of head coach Dean Hargis. Helping coach Hargis are offensive line coach Bill Perry, defensive line coach, Dick Rabitt, and backfield coach Bud Murray. Each coach has spent a lot of time getting the Warriors into good physical condition and ironing out difficulties. The Warrior line this year could show fine junior linesmen. These boys have shown a lot of desire and are working very hard to be ready for the first outing, Sept. 17. Practice thus far has been concentrated on physical conditioning and mental awareness of play situations. Now that the boys are beginning to round into shape there will be more emphasis placed on hard blocking and tackling. The defense has been working strictly on pass defense, learning to adjust to the various offensive pass patterns & the method of covering each. The offensive backs have been working hard to make adaptions to new positions. This requires a lot of running drills with special emphasis on power running. Much of this work has been accomplished with the new "Blaster" which helps running balance and leg drive. If these boys c p n t i n u e t o i m p r o v e t h e y should be -ready for DeKalb on Sept. 17. Many fans probably do not appreciate the work and effort that the boys and coaches put into their practice sessions in order to produce a fine team. Two practice sessions are held daily, one in the morning at 8, the other at 4 p.m. Take time out to attend one of the sessions and you will leave with praise and admiration for the whole team and coaching staff. Practice isn't always fun and if the players see some spectators they may be encouraged to put out a little more. our earth circling heroes, we hope somebody will thank them for crowding riots and marches off the front pages for a few days. September is here and this is the month for the National League to decide who will play Minnesota in the World Series. PICKUPS: When you are calm, you can control emotional upheave!. If good thoughts fill the heart and soul, No room inside for evil. All the flowers of all the tomorrows, are in the seeds of today. To do less than your best, is to rob and deprive yourself. Most successes are built on former failures. Anyone who has done the best he can is a hero. What we see depends on what we look for.

Duane Harris New Champion Duane Harris of McHenry is the new driver champion of the modified stock cars at the Kenosha County Speedway in W i l m o t , W i s c o n s i n . H a r r i s clinched the title on Saturday night despite the fact that he had his first and only trouble of the 1965 season. His car, a Chevie powered modified that sports a "Tiger Tale" in the tank, broke a drive shaft in the first heat race Sat. night but was back in action for the 75 lap feature race start. Harris had set the second fastest time in qualifying and had to start the feature race in 15th spot in 16 cars. However, he was out of the race early again it was the drive shaft that failed him. Harris was 7 in point standings last year and this year he has won three races. He has had a good lead feature races and five heat On the other drivers since early in the season but he has never coasted, trying only to protect his lead. He has been one of the hardest charging drivers all year and most of the victories he has scored have been earned from back position starts. The 1965 Driving Title carries with it not only the Champion's Title throughout the 1966 year, but will also carry a big bonus this year. Saturday night, Sept. 14, will be the last race of the season at the Kenosha County Speedway. Highlighted will be the top 20 drivers in point standings. Harris will be the last car in the line up but will be favored to win. Jim Sullivan of Antioch, Illinois, driving the Diestler Motors Plymouth P o w ired Modified Slock Car, at the Kenosha County Speedway, won his second extra distance feature race in as many weeks. However, he has lost out on his chances for the second year in a row, to be the Champion of the year. Only one more race remains and even though the po'nt leader, Duane Harris of McHenry, Illinois, was the second car out of the feature tonight; Sullivan cannot overtake his load with just one race remaining. The win tonight for Sullivan was easier than last week as this time he started on the pole by being only the 18th fastest qualifier in the field. He made Dnly one. qualifying attempt and then had to replace a transmission. This caused him to miss the heats, but he was back to lead every lap of the 75 feature. Second was Don Source, then Chuck. Utlaeh: Gino Wagner; Bill Strom; Kenny Tolugan: Jim Lawrance and Bob Anzinger. The 15 lap semi feature winner was Don Erickson of Milwaukee who also won a 10 lap heat race. Bill Anzell; Gino Wagner and Don Source were the other heat race winners. Rodger Otto of Burlington, Wisconsin was the fastest qualifier and while it was not a new track record it was the fastest lap turned In so far this year as he averaged 56.18 MPH. The spectator feature for 15 laps was won by Mike Wolf of Lake Villa who took the lead from Pop Kline of Pell Lake just 10 feet from the finish line. Behind Kline were Allen Cutchie and Ron Justen. the winners were John Ander- Next Saturday night will be the final night of racing in the 1965 season for the stock cars and the feature race will be a 100 lap Championship.
