PAGE 4, SECTION 1 - MCHENRY PLAINDEAIER - DECEMBER 22, 1966 • GRANT HANDS OUT FIRST LOSS FOR WARRIOR MATMEN 29-15 SO I HEARIt is the week before Christ-\ mas and all through the house every creature is stirring. The rush is on. Some people start early with their shopping, addressing cards, and making ready for the d&y of days. Not us. We just plan each year to start early the next year. But. somehow things do shape up as the deadline hits. We love to get little notes with cards. That's one thing we vow to do next year. There are thoughts we would like to add to each card as it wings ifs way to a friend ' What do you want for Christmas?' We hoar it each year. Actually, we wish for ^ood health and ability to bring some measure of happiness to Others. That may sound corny, but it is a fact. Did you ever see a happy person who did not make others - happy? Many complain that Christmas lias gone overboard to the commercial side. That may be true. That "buy now. pay next year" has shown us how soon next year gets here. However, there seems to bo nothing so bad about the commercial side when so many good people take seriously the spiritual side. Santa arrives in many homes on Christmas Eve these days. When we were watching for the jolly old boarded fellow, he came during the night and we wore up the next morning ahead of schedule The pop corn and cranberries were strung around the tree which was set in a pail of sand. Wo were wondering this week why there were not more fires Lighted candles on dry trees were a real hazard. The chimney and fireplace at our home were not so large, but old Santa always made it. The orange in the toe of our stocking was a real treat. Sometimes the hard candy got a little sticky and the fuzz wasn't so easy to get off. Gifts were not so plentiful, but there was love aplenty. If grandma knit us a pair of mittens, it wasn't just the warmth of the wool that we felt. With so much good will at It FLASH CUBES AT NYE'S You Won't Believe ?vZ 3 $1.09 W,» 12 88 NYE DRUG 1325 N.

For the first time this season, the Warrior matmep tasted the bitter ashes of defeat. The box score of this meet can be seen on this sports page, but mention of a few individuals should be made here. Jim Laursen, the McHenry 180 pounder, pulled off another impressive victory by a 5-1 margin, and dependable Tom Daugherty. wrestling heavyweight, beat his opponent 3-2. At 145, Carl Perrino edged his opponent by a 2-1 this time of year, it is hard to understand why peace on earth cannot bo attained. A few people can always lead the multitudes into trouble. Wars spur science on to great heights and move civilization way back. If the money spent on destruction could be channeled into good works, there would be loss reason for a troubled world. Put scientists to work on research. For instance, work on preventing or curing dred diseases. They might even find a way to grow hair on n bald headed man! Another thing that should bo worked out is a formula for staying thin without dieting. If wo should get around to asking Santa for gifts in sports, we would have to ask him for a slugger or two for our White Sox. We might even ask for some help for those Cubs. (It must be the spirit of the season that gets us). The old boy could also bring some help to our local athletic teams. Just a little boost. The County Baseball League could stand a lighted field. There is too much competition on Sunday afternoons. score, the winning margin coming of riding time. The other McHenry winners included Don Voight at 120 and Terry Morrison at 103. Four other McHenry grapplers were pinned, and Martinez, Wagner, and Antononicelli were all decisioned* by their capable opponents. The next warrior action will take place in the Grant Holiday tournament. Let's have you wrestling f^ns out there in force to cheer\he McHenry team to victory in what promises to be an extremely tough tournament. A Christmas card with the following note comes from a former McHenryite, Fred J. Mueller, of Warner Robins, Georgia: Dear Earl, Really enjoy the Plaindealer and particularly your column. I wish for you that in 1967 the White Sox win the A L pennant and play the Atlanta Braves in the World Series. My regards to the rest at The Plaindealer. Fred Dear Fred: We like your plans for a World Series. If it all works out right, you may be sure the good old Plaindealer will send its Sports Editor down to cover the series and we will get to-gether. Can't blame a guy for dreaming, can you -- S.I.H.

While the Foresters held the edge in field goals, Hampshire made 31 points from the free throw line on Johnsburg's 27 fouls that sent Reiriboldt and Hiller to the showers. Hampshire's Elliott was high man as he sank 12 free shots to keep a 30 point total. McHenry high school wrestlers met North Chicago in a meet last Friday night at McHenry. North Chicago won in the Varsity meet. North Chicago Warl vks Beat Warriors 33-20 In Of ILLINOIS EXPRESSWAY The recommended location of a proposed Central QUoois Expressway, has been smarted by the Division ©2 Highways, Illinois DepartBaeaft of Public Works and Buildings. The proposed highway is to cross the Mississippi river one to two miles north ot the US 36 bridge at Haaaibftl, Mo. and extend to the Decatur area. The freeway will be 134 miles in length and is estimated to cost $114,000,000. On Friday night in the lair u f t h e N o r t h C h i c a g o W a r - hawks, the V^arriors of McHenry tried to derail the runaway express train which is known as the Warhawk basketball team. The North Chicago engines however proved to be too big and talented for the orange and black to try and stop. Coach Anderson attempted to freeze the ball and hold the score down, with h o p e s o f b e i n g c l o s e n e a r games end and then perhaps getting a few breaks to stun one of the finest basketball teams in this part of the state. The stall tactics backfired however, as the Warhawks jumped off to a lead and pulled out to an 18-10 lead l^y halftime. Rufus Woods, the talented Warhawk center, managed to garner 17 markers in the game, most of which came on individual efforts along the baseline. His fine running mate at guard, Johnny Johnson, showed the sparse McHenry following some of the finest defensive play seen in there parts in quite a while. The Warrior attack amounte d t o . h o l d i n g t h e b a l l f o r minutes on end, and then suddenly going for the basket when the opponent seemed to fall asleep. The Warrior shooting percentage was quite good, but the overall power of North Chicago was simply too much to overcome. Warrior mislakes were held to a surprising minimum, but each one they did make resulted in a Warhawk score or turnover of the ball. This third loss in conference Mlav tumbled the Warriors into a three way tie at the bottom of the North Suburban heap, with winless Zion-Benton and Woodstock. The Warriors will turn their attention to a meeting with Elm wood Park in the Batavia holiday tournament next Wednesday night. Possibly the change of scenery will put our cage forces on the right track and reward the McHenry faithful with a belated Christmas present. In other roundball action over the weekend, Jerry Fain's sopnomores dropped a close decision and the freshmen basketballers eked out a one point win in the last eight seconds to beat the Warhawks.

All you wrestling fans should make this a must, for some of the finest wrestlers in the area will be competing in this tourney.
