> One -- Page Four' THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Thursday, May 19,1966 pi > V By: Earl Walah We wouldn't know where to go to hear a better talk than delivered by Ray Eliot at the sports . banquet last Wednesday night. Ray had the crowd ih the palm of his hand as he started with humorous incidents along his athletic trail, then swung into serious thoughts with the eloquence and twofisted punch that would be hard to match. mm. COACH SEATON WITH MIKE PUNER We have sat through many a banquet with athletic director "Mac", but never saw him so impressed as he was with the Eliot eloquence. Ray has been known for years as a builder of men as well as football teams, not that he wouldn't have welcomed a couple of 240-pound tackles with built in character in his leaner years of coaching. Sponsors are already wondering "Where do we go from here" in thinking of somebody to follow Ray Eliot next year. He was that good! The grapevine tells us the V.F.W. Post No. 4600 has donated a speaker system for the Shamrock baseball games and also told the boys to quit worrying about paying the umpires. Mighty nice. Bowling circles have it that Billy Pries bought a new ball and immediately tried it out at McHenry Rec. In five games the first day with the new ball, he averaged 204 pins, with only one game under 200--and that one a lofty 197. The next day Billy rolled 684 in three games for a 228 average. The new ball is not for sale. This isn't the time of year to think of football. However, while driving past the football field the other day we got to thinking how nice it would be if the powers that be would enlarge that press coop. Put "Brickhouse", the timer, scoreboard operator, spotters, photographers, reporters and others in that box and sardines were never so close. And if we are going to shoot that gun, we want room to draw. McHENUT COUNTY TRACK MEET Pictured is Mike Pliner. Mike is the only Warrior to qualify for the state track meet. Pliner is a pole vaulter and is probably the best in the Conference. Warrior fans wish him luck in the state meet. Warriors Lose Two To Barrington McHenry lost two one run games to Barrington last Saturday. The first game of the double header was won 6-5 by the Broncos, the second ended 1-0 in Barrington's favor. In the first game, the Warriors lost in the last of the seventh. Dave F. Smith was the loser. Kit Carstens pitched beautih i Imagine! Our White Sox hit three home runs in one game against the Tigers and still lost the game. There are times when our boys don't hit three in a week.

Let's try to remember the day. The people of McHenry have always been generous to the boys. fully during the second game. Kit allowed only a single run in the first inning. However, his teammates could come up with only one hit. That by second. baseman Bob Funk. • The weather has made it difficult for the Warriors. It is difficult to get a team up and keep them going when games are postponed constantly. But Coach Hagemann has done a fine job and the fruits of his labor will be seen next year. ATHLETES HEAR IMPRESSIVE TALK BY RAY ELIOTT The annual athletic banquet was held May 11 at the V.F.W. hall. It was sponsored by the V.F.W., the McHenry School District 156 and the McHenry C h a m b e r o f C o m m e r c e . Awards were presented by the head coaches of the various sports and along with remarks concerning the athletic year. The highlight of the evening was an inspirational talk hy former head football coach, Ray Eliot of the University of Illinois. Mr. Eliot stressed the importance of having 3 proper mental attitude for success in athletics. He told the interested audience of the importance of setting high goals in order to get ahead, not only in athletics, but also in life. The excellent meal was served by the Women's auxiliary of the V.F.W. which was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Awards were given to the following : athlete of the Year, Rich Soda; athlete of the year in football, Ed Malenius; best d e f e n s e m a n , f o o t b a l l , T o m Dougherty; best free throw shooter, Rich Soda; most points in wrestling, Jim Laursen; most valuable . baseball player of 1965, Jim Meyers; most points for track scored in 1965, John Fleck; lowest average golf scores, 1965, Rick Piatt and Buzz Frett. Records in four McHenry county varsity track meet events are in jeopardy as athletes from all 10 high schools in the county vie at Crystal Lake on Wednesday, May 25 for the colorful annual competition in track and field. The frosh-soph meet will be Monday at McHenry. Starting time is 3:30 p.m. In addition, records in three other events are within reach of eager contestants, and if the weatherman will cooperate as many as eight marks could fall in one of the biggest onslaughts ih history. Mike Fogarty, Marian Central's speedy quarter-miler, has bettered the existing record in the 440-yard dash by a halfsecond and he's not been beaten this year. Fogarty's best time is 50.5 seconds. > Rick Lally's mile mark is in jeopardy. Costello of Crystal • Lake, Lally's alma mater, has bettered Lally's 4:37.2 by 12.8 seconds. Rosulek of Crystal Lake ha$ topped the Lally mark by a second. Rosulek has also tied the 880-yard record which Leonard of Marian established in 1962--1:59.7. Another record which will fall if good weather prevails is the mile relay mark Crystal Lake set in 1961--3:36.2. This year's Tigers of Kain, Osmun, Drayton, and Rosulek have trimmed 3.1 seconds off that time in their best effort. Three boys have topped the b r o a d j u m p m a r k , D a v e Schwebke of Woodstock set in 1965-20 feet, 2 inches. They include Reinboldt, McHenry, 21'; Kamrat, Cary-Grove, 20' 7%"; Ostgaard Crystal Lake, 207". . One of the oldest marks may fall--Don Merwin's pole vault accomplishemnt of 12 feet, 3% inches in 1935. The Woodstock athlete soared high and far at a time when 12 feet was an outstanding accomplishment for the college and top amateur competitor. Mike Pliner of McHenry this year has cleared 12-3. y Rich Creighton's high jump mark is under pressure from Strang of Marian Central. Strang, who "cleared 6-3% last year, has a-6-foot leap to his credit this season. Cregighton's mark is 6-1 Va. One of the most keenly contested events will be the shortest-- the 100-yard dash. Eight boys are within one-half second of each other and the one with the best start may gain the edge next week. Among the best times are these: Kline, Crystal Lake, 10.2 seconds; Jackson, Marian, 10.3; Osmun, Crystal Lake, and Reinboldt, McHenry, 10.4 each; and Franke, Cary-Grove, 10.5. Kamrat, Cary-Grove; Ost- 'gaard, Crystal Lake, and Drayton, Crystal Lake, have shown an ability to erase the 120-yard high hurdles mark which was set in 1964 under wind-validated conditions. That record is 15.2 second set by Piatt Barber of Woodstock. However, in 1963; Don Anderson of Woodstock set a mark * of 15.1 seconds under circumstances where wind conditions were not considered. Since 1964 the records have been recorded under accepted staftdards for measuring the affect <jf wind, if any. A broad jump mark of 22-3V2, for example, was established in 1941 by A1 Joorfetz of Woodstock. John Joorfetz raced around the 220- yard oval in 21.9 seconds and whisked the century in 9.7 seconds--- records which are maintained as part of official McHenry county track history. Newman set a straightaway 220 mark in 1962 for Woodstock in 21.6 seconds. This year's 220 may not produce a record but it will be a close contest among the Year's many fine speedsters. Hinnner, Marian, leads the shot putters. Lossman, McHenry, tops the discus contenders. : : t ' Guild Members Celebrate Birthdays. A pot-luck luncheon was served at noon on Thursday, May 12, at the home of Mrs. Walter Carlson. Five members of the Sewing Guild of the Woman's auxiliary to McHenry hospital have birthdays in May. Mrs. Carlson, whose birthday was May 10, has been hostess for this celebration the past few years.

GRANTED CHARTER The state has issued a charter to Millstream Campers, 1716 N. Court, McHenry, a notfor- profit corporation. ter on Saturday of this week at 3 p.m. at the Legion Hall. PICKUPS: Most of us want to be in the front of the bus, the back of the church, and the middle of the road. It is fine to live within your income, but most people these days have all they can do to live within their credit. We really flip when we see pictures of the leaders whom our college students are following in various protests. Little children who sit or lie on the floor in their tantrums usually got one over the you know what. We would prescribe the same treatment for these adults who block streets and take over public buildings. TIMET!
