McCraeken * \ - Athletic director » PLAINDEALER PHOTOS Exciting moments were had by archers this past weekend at the Northern Illini Bowmen "SAFARI". Competition was keen for the marble based trophies awarded to the winner. The fas­ cination of the life sized 3-D Safari targets of realism and fantasy brought out 250 archers to the outdoor range on Draper Road. Popup spiders, roving pig and leaping wolf were moving targets to add to the fun of Safari shooting. Oscar Sommer of Woodstock climaxed the whole shoot with a sweeping victory oring a total of 810 points in tlose competition with a margin of only 30 points separating his nearest contender. Heart zone hits were scored 20 points with any other part of the animal scoring 10 points. Two arrows were shot at each of the 28 animals. Other winners from the ranks of the Northern Illini Bowmen were first place trophies to Jim Dion, Rose Eady and Julie Raven; second place trophies went to Jim Sanders, Earl Paddo'ck, Irene Trumble, Leah Way and youths, Rex Som­ mer, Keith Englehardt and Beth Houser. NIB third place win­ ners in their respective classes were Marcus Fngelhardt, Ann Martin and youths, Jeff Raven and JoAnn Martin. The 3-D an­ imals, veterans of the 12th annual Safari, arc their winter quarters for recuperation and repair for the nex^year's archery event, "Safari". August 2 is another big date for the Northern Illini Bowmen. NIB has invited their neighboring archery club, BoArro Hunters of Crystal Lake, to a barbecued pig roast and "Nite Shoot". Luminous targets will reflect flashlite rays. Members are reminded to bring their most powerful flash- lites. Festivities will begin at 7 p.m. on Saturday evening at the outdoor range on Draper Road. The first leg of aggregate scores for Northern Illini Bowmen Club Championship will be a field round and Club shoot on Sunday, August 3.

Now, just because the Giants of San Francisco beat those great Cubs, we came home to find people like Marie Yegge ready to murder us for putting a hex on them. her. The big guy can really lower the boom. The game lagged in spots, probably because it didn't pro­ duce any of those fielding gems usually seen in major league games. Actually, we just ate our hot dogs and peanuts and didn't say a word while watching those Giant line drives bounce off the vines in Beautiful Wrigley Field. The Cubs' rookie pitcher, Jim Colborn, didn't look like the answer for a fourth starting pitcher in the flag drive. He has great potential, but isn't ready -- if anybody wants our opinion. Walt Freund and Walt Jr's. wife, Cathy, conpleted our party -- and a good time was had by all. Of course, Cathy had a bad day. First of all, she thought we lost her when we didn't re­ turn to an appointed gate as soon as she expected. Panic! Then, the loss for the Cubs and a radio report of White Sox failures were too much. Seven of the Giants' ten hits were produced by the first four men in the batting order. And all four runs were scored by the top four. We saw penant fever in the crowd, but something tells us those Cubs will have to perk up.

FIND BODY Lying face down in three feet of muddy water, the bod}' of Dor- Kail, 43 eet, \\( found in Duf fie Id's pond by a posse organized by tlie McHenjy county sheriffs department. The body was discovered at ap­ proximately 3:09 p.m., Jul}/30, after an all-day land and air search. The search part} was formed after the Woodstock police re­ quested help in finding the woman. During the night of July 29, police officers found Mrs. Steagall's car at the in­ tersection of Country Club and Zimmerman roads. At 6:25 a.m., the sheriff began to form his posse, which eventually, numbered almost fifty people. otliy Steaga 11, 43, of 672 Plea­ sant street, Woodstock, was We must say a good word for Mr. Wrigley's ticket of­ fice. They exchanged down the line seats for box seats in back of home plate. We told 'em who we knew in McHenry -- staunch Cub fans. The two Willies (Mays and McCovey) gave the Cubs the willies. Mays ain't dead yet! And Mc­ Covey is murderous with that bat. Cathy wanted to walk him every time he came to bat, but Manager Leo didn't hear Getting out of the crowd and away from the parking area was a bit of a task. Next time we will go to Sox park.
