Prokop 6-7-10 KING OF THE HILL * TO BE DETERMINED SUNDAY AT NORGE As the ski season slides into full swing, the hum of activities on the Norge hills slowly but surely developes into a roar. As it has been in the past 63 years, skiers from all parts of the country will gather to wage war with each other for the soul purpose of determining who will be King of the Norge Hill. As in any other spoil, there will always be need for officials and judges to determine just who will wear the crown. True to form, many (both competitors and spectators alike) will take a dim view of the decisions made by the judges. An occasional snow ball thrown in the direction of the Judges Stand will probably be the extent of any demonstration. Contrary to the belief of somfe, the one who jumps the furthest is not always entitled to the highest honor. Unlike broad jumping, the manner and method used by the jumper is equally as important as the distance one travels. One very important requisit is to do all this and remain in the standing position. The trained but critical eyes of the judges are capable of noticing the slightest error made by the jumper. The original twenty style points given to the jumper slowly deminish as he leaves the take-off. If he is very good, he may only lose two or three points. These points added to his jumping points give him his total so the final decision ois left up to the adding machine. The fifty or sixty jumpers will spring into action on the -Norge Hill, Sunday, Feb. 2nd, at 2 p.m. Feb. 7 and 8 are the dates to remember as McHenry hosts their first tournament in the new West Campus. The Conference Wrestling tourney will be in the gymnasium starting ' Friday night, the 7th at 6?30. Participating schools are as follows in the order of last years final standings: North Chicago, McHenry, Zion-Benton, Barrington, Libertyville, Crystal Lake, Woodstock, and Dundee. Saturday's matches will start at 1:00, with consolation and . championship rounds beginning at 7:00. If you haven't seen high school wrestling, you are missing something.' This is the sport for everyone. Come out for high school wrestling at its best. Support your team. Bob Weingart, sophomore 154 pounder fights off pinning combination in 2nd period against Grayslake.

Current investigations on the Union County Waterfowl Management Area show that too many hunters shoot at ducks at extreme ranges. From 14 to 16 per cent of young majiard drakes checked by waterfowl ; biologists on the Southern ELli- ; nois area have lead shot imbed- ; ded in their bodies. Measuring hunting of mallards in the Mississippi Plyway -- reputedly most heavily hunted in the nation -- the Mississippi Flyway ( ouncil discovered by use of the fluoroscope on 2,500 mallard drakes hatched last summer that shot was present in many. Young mallards, are studied. Mature ducks that have migrated more than once may have pellets in their bodies from prior seasons. Mallards are studied because more of them are bagged and it is the duck preferred by most hunters. Birds are caught -- more than 8,000 of them -- in large traps baited with corn and their age determined by a study of feathers on the underside of their wings. An X-ray picture of a duck projected on a fluorescent screen reveals any pellets in the body. After a bird is examined, it is marked with painte and released. In four years, the committee has fluoroscoped more than 10,000 young mallards. An even higher percentage of wild geese carry shot. Investigations have revealed that more than 60 per cent of adult geese and 32 per cent of younger geese have pellets in their bodies. The number of birds hit is higher, according to the council. There is no way to determine what birds have been struck by shot that passed through them. High shooting and poor marksmanship are the main reasons why so many waterfowl are hit but not brought down during the hunting season. PLAINDEALER PHOTO Duck Census Shows Fewqr In Flocks The current duck census shows smaller concentrations at all usual wintering sites. The mid-winter count, taken Jan.6- 10, was reported by the Illinois Department of Conservation. Close to 165,000 waterfowl were counted. This is about 10,000 fewer than noted during the 1968 mid-winter count. The largest flock was sighted on a reservoir near Kincaid. The mallard population of 131,500 birds is about 14,000 fewer than counted last year. Some 2,300 canvasbacks were reported in the Keokuk pool along the Mississippi Flyway. On Lake Michigan, where the wintering flock has been decreasing, only 110 old squaw ducks were observed this year. The waterfowl census is compiled by the Illinois Department of Conservation from various reporting sources. Cooperating in the mid-winter county were the U. S. Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife, U. S. Game Management agents, pilots from Glenview Naval Air Station and the state Natural History Survey. Coach Hutchinson's fine wrestlers were hot Tuesday night against the Northwest Suburban League representative, Grayslake. They defeated them in fine fashion, winning seven of the twelve matches. x The evening started out bright with Rick Rogers registering his sixteenth victory and 9th pin of the season. In,the next match the score really exploded when Jim Sobacki registered his tenth victory of the season by literally pounding out his opponent, 19-3. After Dennis Justen registered his eighth victory 7-0, Guy Hansen (known as the blond bomber) kept the string going by pinning his opponent at 3:13. The score read 16-0 with eight matches to go. Hie enthusiastic fans knew with the depth at the heavier weights, that a victory was in sight. Grayslake showed that they were not going to give up without a fight by registering 3 consecutive victories in the middle weights by pinning two out of three Warriors. The score now read 16-13, and the Cans began to cheer louder. John Laskowski took the mat for the Warriors, and showed fine wrestling in the first period by scoring five points to his opponents zero, and finally pinning this opponent in the second period at 3:07. The next match between Bob Weingart of McHenry and Mitch Canty ended in a draw with the score tied 2-2. That was all of the scoring for Grayslake for the evening. McHenry's two best wrestlers were next with. Captain Ken Wahl at 165 and Mike Antonicelli at 180. Both pinned their opponents to up the team score to 33-15. Grayslake forfeited at the heavyweight division, making the final score 38-15. Tuesday's night match was a good warmup for Friday's match with Zion-Benton, the season's final. McHenry hopes to extend and finish with p respective record of 8 wins and 5 losses. Come out and Cheer the Warriors on! The freshmen finished the season with a five record Tuesday by squeaking by the Grayslake freshmen 25-24.

The weather is dreary, but what harm as long as the sunshine comes peeking through in other ways. Parked parallel this morning and didn't dare open car door the way traffic was breezing along too close for safety. Then came a tiriver of a huge truck. He had to stop anyway, but stayed back a length to allow us to get out. Those long haul truck drivers have a good name--and rightly so. The' day is bound to have its problems,,but a kind word has also added to the truck driver's considerate act and we are off wingin*. Hope you will look over your sports page. Things are happening in local sports activities. McHenry will host the North Suburban Conference wrestling tournament. Look over schedule and story. Sports Editor^ The grade school basketball tournament is another event to look over, ft is a big event in the lives of our young athletes. Trying to think of something we wanted to relate. No dice. Don't want any of those goof pills, but might be interested in the memory type. Mrs. Bill (Bette) O'Brien makes the news in bowling circles this week with a 599 series. She bowled it Tuesday night in the C.D. of A. league at McHenry Rec. Why the heck couldn't she have knocked over one more stick of wood in her last frame and posted a 600. Or maybe a new scorekeeper would help. That Marv Birchfield is a card! He suscribed to the Plaindealer a short time ago and now delights in tearing us apart.
