'•Biff" assured us he is still one of our readers, and, to prove it, he was givingus the business about our repeated request for our sports page contributors to double space between lines and leave plenty of margin around the page -- and not to write on both sides of the paper. We have had some results, (But, confidentially, "Biff", we suspect that some of them don't read "S.I.H." -- Now isn't that a terrible thought!) Sports Editor you the whole story at this time Something about patent pending, you know. The Cub fans are calling us now. Wow! That twin-win on Sunday before a packed house has those fans way up in the clouds. To those fans who were turned away from Wrigley Field when the "sold out" sign went up, let us say there is no waiting at White Sox Park. Plenty of seats. Have been giving quite a bit of opace to the Lake County Rifles, a football team of increasing stature. What we would like to know is how many of our readers are interested in the team. Would you give us a call or drop us a note? It would help us in future planning. We hestitate to mention Harvey Nye again, but some people simply cannot be kept out of the news. You don't have to go telling everybody, but Harvey is now working on a project to make water run uphill. We can't give strikeouts. Bob Kuechel got his fourth round - tripper of the year. Going for the Giants Rohrer and Tiggemann, with Dan Camasta catching. Giants gave up five runs, five hits, eight walks, six strikeouts, Miller of the Braves got a beautiful double.

The smart money will be on the Packers, but our crystal ball shows them having one heckuva time with the Stars this time around. Please see story on this page about the big golf tournament the gals are playing this week. They would really like to see a big gallery. They told us so. Too bad we have to meet old friends at wakes. Mr. and Mrs. Percy Lodtz, Clint Martin and Edgar Landgren were people we . enjoyed meeting the past week -- at wakes. Maybe there should be more old home days to meet and greet friends.

Although Rifle coach Gene Cichowski and the Rifles are nearin g their first exhibition game on August 10th, experimentation still goes on in the Rifle camp. In their third major scrimmage session last week, Cichowski put his first offense against his best defense. Offensively, Ron Curry and Maurice Guins were at the running backs, John Patterson at flanker and Tommy Myers at quarterback. Up front, Lee Wahlgren was at center, Mitch Pruiett and Pete Hunt at guards, J.C. Coleman and Walt Isaacson at tackles, Warren Nicholas at split end and Wayne Miller at tight end.

Tom Myers failed to move the club very well and had one of his passes intercepted by ex- Ripon star LaVern Pottinger at defensive halfback. Veteran quarterback Lew Flinn replaced Myers and moved the same squad with relative ease. The Flinn-Nicholas pass combination scored a touchdown on an overall 40 yard pass. In another series, Flinn scored again by covering 80 yards in seven plays. In a pitchout, Ron Curry ran for forty yards with the assistance of two key blocks by John Patterson and tackle Walt Isaacson. The only sad note in Flinn's performance was a second interception by. LaVern Pottinger. When asked about Myer's poor showing, Cichowski responded by saying that one reason was that Tom- 3my was unfamiliar with the Riffle pass patterns and the moves of his receivers. Defensively, the standout for the scrimmage was rookie LaVern Pottinger at defensive corner back. Pottinger not only intercepted two passes but was given several tackle assists. On an Flinn interception, Pottinger ran the ball back 70 yards. Pottinger might give Dick Wolf, Rifle running back artist some cause for concern. The Rifle defensive back field was rounded out by Jim Scully, Chuck Schuth and Dave Cro well, with Bob Cook, Don Rowden and Joe Smith. Pottinger, a rookie who played varsity defensive halfback at Ripon may become a regular according to Gene Cichowski. "Pottinger has good speed and desire, but more than that, he seems to have an uncanny ability to diagnose offensive plays." The first exhibition of the season against West Allis wijl tell the story.
