ft '£{- '*/ ft jH'. • |v EartWalsh It" Is going ob 25 years since Dr. and ;Mrs. FrocMich's little girl, Adele, opened the door of the Plaindealer office to start a career of gathering and writing news of the area. We had been with Editor "Mose'" for more than six years, covering sports events, a feature story now and then, and even having our fiLrm twisted to write an obituary when some prominent citizen passed away. The community was small, deaths were not occurring every week, but were front page news with lengthy history of the deceas ed. It wasn't long before this young fireball rolled up her sleeves and belted out all those reports on her typewriter. She had a great capacity for work and we hung up a sign that many callers saw before "Mose" knew it was there. It read: "Anybody who likes work can have a helluva good time in this establishment." When Sister M. Andreela saw the sign, she asked "Mose" for a job and he went blank -- didn't know the sign was there. Oh, boy! Many years ago we pinned the name "Brenda" on our gal. She has taken more than her share of ribbing from this corner, but could always take it and hand it back. With "Brenda", we have seen many people come and go in thfe Plaindealer circle We liked them all, but "Brenda" must rate as our first love among the whole gang. Her activities have been varied and have demanded more strength than most of us could ever muster. Her good deeds are numerous. When we say congratulations to "Brenda" as she heads for completion of 25 years of association in newspaper work, there is nothing. hollOw about our words. We mean it in all sincerity. And may the next 25 years be more relaxing. The rains came with mucho gusto Friday night, but the football game at McCracken Field went on as scheduled. The house that Joe built was the greatest thing since somebody built the first wheel. We refer to the press coop that Joe Schmitt built and where we were dry and comfortable throughout the splashing contest. It was a scoreless game until the final second and a game that most of us thought would be decided by the bracks. However, we must credit *the DeKalb team with a sustained passing attack that brought them down the north sideline in the final minute that culminated with a pass over the goal line. The gun actually sounded as the ball was in the air. The white uniforms on the McHenry boys were anything but white when the game ended. Somebody said you could tell the good guys (Warriors) by their white helmets. This game didn't depend on how the ball bounced. One punt landed in the mud and went down, down, down without a bit of roll. The opening game often gives us a chance to evaluate a team's chances for the season. Not this one. All we know is that DeKalb players proved to be the best mudders. We had eyes on John Reinboldt, sophomore quarterback, and began to see his great potential in the last half when he showed he can go places on the option or keeper play. Bert Hagemann announced the game from the press box and waited all night for a chance to let out with "Hey- Hey!" George Cina was in the coop again this year with his movie camera, catching the action through the raiii drops. Gerry Fain handled the gun to sound the end of each quarter and fans howled for a faster draw at the end of the game. But, Gerry drew right in the second as the bfficial timer, Bob tt&dricki nianned the time mabhlhtf We* a£ked "Mafe* abotlt the i We met our new varsity basketball coach, Glenn Anderson, for the first time and found he has a real winning smile. He commented on that "grouchy" looking picture that appeared on this page. Must ask Gene Brooke to run another one when the basketball season starts. Maybe Larry Lund will snap that smile. John Mesching, soph wrestling coach, was with the coop crowd and was seen wandering around the field in disbelief after that touchdown. Jack Vick showed up, but disappeared someplace along the way Principal Marvin Martin stayed to the bitter end. Bert announced a thank you to Dr. Griesbach, who braved the horrible weather to be on the bench -- just in case. Nobody got hurt landing in that soft sod. Next Saturday the Warriors travel to North Chicago, the first game starting at 12 noon. There is work ahead to get ready for the strong North Chicago, team. Go get 'em fellows. We wandered around the Agatha Shop a few minutes the other day before we saw Miss Ethel Jones sitting at the end of the counter. Now, that was a treat. She was the First Lady of Green Street for many years, loved by all. A recent contribution and query brought the following answer from Frank Justen who left McHenry when the Indians pulled up stakes and went out where the West begins. Frank went where the West ends. His letter gave us such a chuckle that we are passing it on to our readers in its entirety: Dear "So I Hear" Earl: I am very glad to hear from you even if you had to do it in a Sort of a sneaky way to save some postage. Noticed your picture in the paper with various accolades lately -- is that an indication that you are getting old, usually the next thing to an obituary. Well I am glad to see you are still working even when you could do better on welfare. I am very curious about Grandma, and I will admit that I used to blow some sour notes on a trumpet. Mother would stand it just so long then I had to move out on the porch with the parting remark, "see if you can raise the dead", but I wasn't Gabriel. That cemetery brings to my mind the night I tried to tear down that hitching rail along the road by the grave yard. Coming home from town after dark and we had a good shower a short time before which left the dirt road a little muddy. Riding a bicycle I decided to ride betwen the horse railing and the cemetery fence, a little closer to the cemetery than I usually got after dark. The rain had stopped and the moon out, and aS I was pedaling along, I noticed a light in the cemetery and it was going just as fast as I was, so I put on more speed but that light stayed right with me. Well it all ended very suddenly when I rammed into a hitching post, that is the bicycle and I parted company but I hit for the road afoot and never stopped till I was in our yard. Not seeing the light any more, I got up enough courage to slowly go out to the road and see where that light came from. When I got in line with the first tomb stone here was the light and it was nothing more than the reflection of the moon on the shiny wet tomb stone. Naturally as I sped by on the bicycle the reflection jumped from one stone to the next and sure scared hell out of one young kid. In contrast with that cemetery, out here you are not allowed any stone above ground level -- just a small head stone so you can mow over it. It does make a neat and clean looking place to sleep. Well old boy, so much for ancient history and I just love to recall the things that we all used to do in the old home town. We are all well and I had a nice year for weather and crops. We had too much crops for the help that was available especially in the tomatoes and strawberries. Since you don't seem to make too much effort to come out here I suppose I'll have to come your way some day. Best regards, Frank McHenry's football debut was spoiled by bad weather and a 6-0 defeat at the hands of DeKalb's Barbs. All throughout the first game and during the first half of the Varsity battle, rain poured on the field. After such a drenching, McCracken field looked like a mud puddle and it became impossible for the few brave fans attending to distinquish between players of the opposing teams. Under such conditions it was nearly impossible for either team to put together a sustained drive. In fact, until the last 40 seconds of the game, neither team got within the opponents 20 yard line, and this occurred only a few times. Barbs Score a Last Play In the early part of the game, DeKalb's quarterback, Mike Pevonka hit his ends well, but the ball was too slippery to catch and Pevonka's passes were constantly dropped. However, during the last quarter the rain stopped and Pevonka illustrated his Skill as a passer. With less than a minute to go, the Barbs had the ball at midfield. Using pro techniques, Pevonka used the remaining time expertly and threw side line passed to kill the clock. He completed six straight side-line passes during this time to his half back Bill Black. Then, with five seconds remaining, Pevonka tossed into the endzone and hit Jim Minnihan. It was the last play of the game and gave the Barbs a 6-(f victory. Not A Complete Loss While the pain of losing the game cannot be erased, there are a few encouraging aspects of the Warrior's efforts. The Warriors fumbled only twice --and in weather such as that, such an effort seems encouraging. Perhaps even more important is the fact that the Warriors had few penalties against them. While they did have trouble moving the ball, they made few costly mistakes. If they can continue, and start moving the ball, they will be tough. It is difficult to tell what they can really do from last Friday's performance due to the conditions in which they played. With the potential available, the Warrior's ground game wasn't up to par. Soda was the hardest working back carrying for 16 yards in 10 attempts. Reinbolt carried 5 times for 14 yards, Freund 5 times for 13 yards. Lawsman picked up 10 yards the 5 times he carried. Moore, Salustio and Hale are other backs that saw some action. Rich Soda did a real fine job punting. In such a game, the punting game becomes extremely important dttd under the conditions in which he kicked, he did an excellent job. His punts were for 40, 37, 40 and 39 yards. He also returned opponents punts for 10, 2, and 23 yards for a total of 35. Rich also returned an intercepted pass for 7 yards. The line play was difficult for the fans to see. All of the boys did a fine job. The only trouble was that they were so muddy the fans couldn't tell who made the fine plays.

Chicago Next For Warriors McHenry's football future for this season may well face its most sever challenge this coming Saturday when the Warriors travel to North Chi cago. North Chicago, the def e n d i n g N o r t h S u b u r b a n champs, will be led by half back Charlie Parker and full back, Tony Gesky. Last week they rolled over Prospect 20-7 with Parker scoring twice and Gesky once. To say the least they will be a tough foe and a victory over them will set the Warriors on the right track. The Warriors will travel to North Chicago Saturday The Varsity game will start at 2. Make sure you go and give them your support. game was an attempted field goal by George Hauser. While it was not successful, it did -illustrate his potential. The attempt was made from about 35 yards out and at that time the attempt was as effective as a punt. George kicked the ball well and had it right on line even though it did fall short. Perhaps McHenry will have a real threat when they get within kicking distance. The Warriors chalked up the following statistics during the game: Total Yards Rushing 59 Total Yards Passing 7 Total Offense 66 Passes Attempted 4 Passes Completed 1 Number of Punts 4 Average per Punt 39 Penalties 1 Yards lost -- Penalties 5 Fumbles 2 Fumbles recovered 1 McHenry 0 0 0 0--0 DeKalb 0 0 0 6--6 i HIRED rr THROUGH THE WANT ADS BE WISE Read The Classifieds FRI. - SAT. - SUN.

Norm Zenko powered his Buick convertible home first in the late model feature, becoming the eleventh different late model feature winner of the season. Action was fast and furious in the modified feature. While Junior Dodd held the lead in the fourth lap, Don Sorce spun anidl the cars piled up behind him with Gino Wagner finally crawling partially over Sorce's raicer. The two blocked the fourth turn and forced the red flag to be thrown. Two laps later Dodd lost the lead to Bob Ratajczyk while Wagner and Bill Schultz spun in the third turn and at the same time as Roger Otto and Sorce locked bumpers in the fourth turn. Harris caught Ratajczyk in the ninth lap, but it was six laps later before Harris finally squeezed by on the outside. In the final ten circuits, Harris never let off and he beat John Reimer to the finish line by nearly a quarter lap. The wins boosted Harris to third among the point leaders. McHenry Sat.
