The "assembled crowd which is growing with every meet saw co-captain Brad Pictor come out of the woods fifty yards ahead of team mate Keith Hutchinson in the haze of a brilliant fall afternoon. Pictor flashed across the finish stripe in time of 14:57, fifteen sec­ onds better than he has run the distance yet this year. Fol­ lowing Hutch in second place was senior Glenn Hampton, and eighteen seconds after he fin­ ished, the first Zee Bee run­ ner came in with Wayne Smith hot on his heels after sprint­ ing the last hundred yards to overtake the sixth place mar­ oon clad Zion runner. Mike Freund finished up the Warrior scoring with an eighth place finish to round out our total of 19 points and another win. Rapidly improving Fred Stark and Bruce Davis grabbed off ninth and tenth place finishes, and Jim Faas, Eric Weiss, John Oeffling, Don Schubert, Mike Wisneiwski, and Ed Dschida all finished ahead of the fourth and fifth place Zion finishers. The little Warriors racked up another perfect 15-50 score victory in their race as they Crystal Lake Tigers Claw Warriors Badly, 42-24 a TT iA SECOND PERIOD WARRIOR -- Tiger action shows Steve George scoring for McHenry on a 30 yard touchdown pass from Knaack. PLAINDEALER PHOTO by Bert Hagemann The dormant Tigers of Crys­ tal Lake woke up this past Fri­ day night on the foggy confines of McCracken field as they handed the inept Warriors their fourth consecutive defeat of the season, and third drubbing in a row by the margin of 42-24. The Warrior defense, which had handled itself in admirable fashion the last two ball games, fell victim to the bursts of Funk and Bobek, the Tiger halfbacks, and the accurate aerials of 6'5" quarterback Bud Nystrom. Although the Warrior offense managed three touchdowns and three two point conversions, the Warriors were never really in the game as the Tigers picked apart the porous Warrior de­ fense for three quick touch­ downs right off the bat. After receiving the opening kick-off, McHenry stalled and had to punt. After a punch ex­ change, the first Warrior play from the new shotgun offense resulted in an interception, and Nystrom capitalized on the leth­ argic Warrior secondary for a 46 scoring bomb to Lutch. A Warrior fumble for once did not turn into an opponents score on the next scries, but after a fine punt return, Bobek scored on an inside reverse from our 20. The Tigers struck again early in the second quarter on a march which included a long pass reception and a four yard touchdown run so that when the finicky scoreboard clock read 10:17, the Warriors were in arrears 20-0. Kurt Knaack finally got McHenry rolling mid-way through the period, scoring on a 30 yard touch­ down pass to Steve George, but the Tigers put another touch on the board after a roughing the kicker penalty kept their drive alive. The tally came on a 24 yard scoring pass, and the half ended 26-8 as McHenry. had another drive die because/ of a fumble. Using sweeps and off tackle slants, the Tigers got another score at 9:31 of an otherwise uneventful third period, but the Warriors struck back in the foggy confines of the east end zone on a five yard scoring pass from Knaack to Fairchild. The Tigers match­ ed this scoring thrust, and Mc­ Henry added one more tally on a 6 yard touchdown pass to Janik with half a minute re- J** Tom Lutsch receives perfect aerial from Tiger quarterback Bud Nvstrom as he outdistanced Warrior Tom Janik. The 6'5" Warrior Cross-Country Team Hosts County Meet Saturday by Bert Hagemann The McHenry cross-country team will host the County cross­ country meet this next Saturday behind West campus at approx­ imately 10 a.m. The favored Warriors will play host toother county schools on the McHenry course with the frosh-soph squad starting things off at the aforementioned time, and the varsity following immediately after the preliminary race. In­ terested fans can park in the north parking lot near the fin­ ish line and from this van­ tage point can watch most of the races. In the frosh-soph race, Crystal Lake and McHenry should be favored, with McGib­ bon of McHenry and DeLa- Bruene as the top runners to watch. In varsity competition, the top runners include our own Brad Pictor, Keith Hutchinson, Glenn Hampton, and Shields of Crystal Lake. Coach Don Seat- on feels possibly that the Cary Grove squad could upset the calculations, but if the Warriors all run up to their tqp perfor­ mances, the Warriors should be favored. Last year the varsity run­ ners captured the trophy on the Woodstock course in the year of the big wins, and the or­ ange and black runners will be gunning to make it two in a row their home turf. The string of 27 consecutive dual meet victories for the varsity and 30 for the frosh soph will remain intact no matter what the outcome of this contest, so why not try and make it out to the Warrior course next Sat­ urday morning and help cheer the Warriors to a double win? r BASKETBALL LEAGUE Anyone interested in playing basketball is invited to be pre­ sent at the East campus gym Oct. 28. Any man 19 years old or over is invited to join the league, which starts play Nov. 4. Five teams will be needed for the league to be for mad.

The first eight finishers wore the Warrior or­ ange and black, and they were, in order of finish; Diedrich, Seaton, Bolger, Hendricks, Lightner, Thomas, Smith, and Miller. This Thursday thethin- clads will do battle with highly touted Terry Hanrath and his Libertyville teammates on their home course. Hanrath is a fine competitor, do we have some­ one who can beat him? SPORTS Crystal Lake Edges MCHS Soph. Football Team 12-8 maining in the drawn out con­ test. The Warrior offense did manage to move the ball on two marches in the fourth quarter, and the game was certainly one in which the pass was very important. Knaack did manage to complete 17 out of 46 at­ tempts, with Janik, Fairchild, George and Hosier all being receivers at one time or an­ other. Many passes went awry however, as the percentages in­ dicate, and the linemen from Crystal Lake ootmuscled the Warrior frontmen with consid­ erable ease, especially when the Warriors were on defense. The Tigers showed the class which led many to believe they were top flight contenders, and the ingredients of speed, size, and execution were all very ev­ ident against the outmannedor­ ange and black. *'• ,« This Friday night is Home­ coming for McHenry, and per­ haps this will hypo the strug­ gling Warriors into some kind of super effort against arch rival Woodstock. The Blue Streaks are 2-2 so far, this year, and they are certainly aware that they have not beaten the Warriors in football in something like 10 years. They will be boiling for a Warrior scalp, will we hand it to them? Conference standings: by Paul Palmateer The McHenry Sophomore Warriors lost a close game Friday night at McCracken field by a small margin of 12-8. The fatal blow came with 4:30 remaining in the fourth quar­ ter. This defeat snapped a two game winning streak and leaves the season record at two wins and two losses. The game was close from start to finish with Crystal Lake drawing the first blood on a first quarter 40 yard pass. Mc­ Henry came right back in the second quarter with a fine pass play from Ron Miller to half­ back Don Prazak for the tying score. The extra point attempt looked as if it was going to be the play of the game, when Mark Hoffman faked a place kick and passed for two points to sure handed Don Prazak. This put McHenry out in front 8-6 until that fourth quarter pass play that doomed our vic­ tory. „ McHenry looked like they were going to start off with a bang, when Mike Stark return­ ed the opening kickoff all the way to the Crystal Lake 20 yard line. The offense died at this point, when halfback Denny Hovseth ( who gained 76 yards during the game) was stopped short of a first and ten. DEFENSE Most of the game consisted of very good defensive plays from both sides. Crystal Lake's assets were the two unusual defenses^ that had McHenry*s offensive line stymied on a num­ ber of formations. McHenry*s assets were the sure-handed tacklers and team pursuit, that is needed when you have a small size team. Again the McHenry defense was led by the Carl­ son brothers, Mike and Dave, who combined for 26 tackles. Mc Henry's defensive unit made two costly errors during the game, and both went for touch­ downs on passes. OFFENSE The Warriors got a superb effort from their speedy half­ back Denny Hovseth, who con­ tinually zig-zagged for yardage, sometimes carrying his oppo­ nent for that extra yard or two. The blocker who provided most of the holes was guard Pat Higgins, who starred both on offense and defense. This loss was felt badly by the young Warriors, who just hate to lose at anything. They are looking foward to this Fri­ day night, when they entertain the Woodstock Blue Streaks for Homecoming. STATISTICS Rushing Att. Yds.

Now comes cooler weather, but the way the warm days hung on there was no sense in having to put our straw hat away for another year just be­ cause Labor Day is the dead­ line. Who sets these rules, anyhow? •EARL WALSH SO I HEAR -SPORTS EDITOR J The Woodstock Blue Streaks, said to be big and plenty good, will be here Friday night, for the Homecoming game. A win for McHenry would be an up­ set, let's have it! Denny Jackson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Art Jackson, is cer­ tainly iq>holdingthe family name in the world of sports. Just read a story about Denny pull­ ing his University of Cincin­ nati football team out of ap­ parent defeat by the Zavier eleven. As time was running out, Denny got loose and hauled in a pass on the 20-yard line and raced over , for the winning touchdown. The story marvels at how he reached the spot apparently unnoticed. His teammates mobbed him in joy­ ous admiration. The two best teams in the major leagues had to prove it in play-offs after winning first place during the regular sea­ son. Both the Amazin' Mets and the high flying Orioles won in convincing fashion. Now comes the World Series and the Mets are sure to be the sentimental favorites. Take your chice, but don't figure eith­ er team to sweep the series. One of the most appreciated visits was from Jerry Miller last Saturday. He came in with a real good cigar and pre­ sented it thusly, "For being a good sport -- and because I have a new grandson." Jerry plans to make a Cub fan of that little fellow just as soon as possible. Hitters should watch movies of Henry Aaron swinging a bat. His eyes are on the ball all the way. None of this wild swing­ ing with head in the air for Hen­ ry. We saw the McHenry War- rior-Crystal Lake Tiger foot­ ball game here Friday night. Sorry to say we were not thrill­ ed by what we saw. COUNTY MEET AT McHENRYSATURDAY -- Coach Don Seaton and his cross-country runners will be hosts Saturday morning to coun­ ty teams on the West Campus Course. Bert has the story. We just want to give it a plug. Watch 'em run. The Warriors are a nice bunch of young men who, at this point, are not strong enough for the tough North Suburban League. But, the team may jell at anytime. We are for the team, win - lose - or draw, but hope like everything that they can win a game soon. ITEM: The Old Bridge quintet smelled bitter defeat at the lo­ cal lanes last Thursday evening as big bad Bob bobble J the ball one too many times. Had not Black Bart come through with a blazing 602, things would have been much worse. PG. 6- PLAINDEALER-WED.
