The year's best motion picture -- National Society of Film Critics YVf S MONFANO IHI Nt I'At'AS If AN LOUIS IRINTIGNANI FIRST PLACE TROPHY was captured by the Sophomore Mc- Henry Warriors in the Mundelein holiday tournament. The three day tourney held on Dec. 28, 29 and 30 proved a belated Christ­ mas present for the McHenry fans as the Warriors rolled over Gravslake and Carmel to earn their honor to meet North Chi­ cago in the championship game. The Warrior 48-41 victory over strong North Chicago brought a successful end to 1970. Displaying the trophy are L-R, Mark Bentz - leading scorer, Roger Ludwig - Captain, and Head Coach Bill Blankenhorn. >• PLAINDEALER PHOTO Kind words like hers spur us on to another thirty five years of this column business. I am spending my first day retirement from the postal ser­ vice in Dallas, Texas with El- vera and Pm taking in all the events of the Cotton Bowl fes­ tival. Sure saw a spirited game between Notre Dame and Tex­ as. At Church this morning the priest, a great football fan, had a floral bouquet of Notre Dame colors on one side of the altar and another floral bou­ quet of Texas colors on the oth­ er side. He hated to see either team lose. Maybe we could have a tie score. Elvera and Alex EARL WALSH So I Hear SPORTS EDITOR J Howdy to you, too, as we say in Texas. We watched that game on TV, but would have liked being in the stands. We are sure that prayers help win those big games -- especially if you have a fellow like Theismann at quarterback. a non-conference match on Tuesday. / j In the wee-sma' hours of the night came a tapping on the door at the Fred Meyer resi­ dence. In his tassled night cap and nightshirt, sleepy-eyed Fred made it to the door to ^JirfO a local girl in distress. She got lost in McHenry! On the wrong street*, she got off the road and her car stuck in the snow. Not wanting to be a hero at that time of morning, Fred sent out an alarm for help. He now plans to give the girl a map of McHenry. The darndest things happen and the grapevine gets the stories to us. Sometimes. From our MCHS sport re­ porter comes this note: The wrestling Warriors will be back on the niats after a long holiday lay-off as they tra­ vel to Woodstock tonight and then journey to Cary-Grove for Some people make your days brighter. Met Attorney and Mrs. Kiggins at the Country Club smorgasbord Wednesday night and learned that Mrs. Kiggins is one of our S.I.H. boosters. On Monday of this week, John R. Schmitt came in to say hel­ lo and let us know he was still pulling for our White Sox. Said he didn't get in to see us much last season 'cause there wasn't much to say about those Sox. Early Wednesday morning we learned that John nad died sud­ denly. Quite a shock. We are going to miss John and not just because he was a Sox fan. He was a good, Chris­ tian man. They don't make 'em any better. All we know is what we hear. The story is that an attorney called our police department from Barrington Tuesday night with an urgent request that the police board the train to re­ cover a brief case containing valuable papers. Lt. Kranz and Patrolman Custardo met (the train pron­ to and got aboard. Sure enough the brief case was found. TOOT! TOOT! and the Choo-Choo chug­ ged out of the station. Custardo jumped off, but Kranz couldn't make it. Earl Murray, McCullom Lake Police Chief, sped to Ringwood to bring our traveler back to home base. The story ends, but the mem­ ory lingers on -- and on -- and on. Sophomores Claim Holiday Tournament Championship _ BY Bill Blankenhorn The sophomore basketball ~~ Warriors won their first Mundelein Holiday Tournament ever as they defeated North Chi­ cago in the finals by a 48-41 score. After winning the opening game of the tournament by a convincing 61-31 score over Gravslake, the Warriors had plenty of opposition in gain­ ing the championship. " In the semi-final game the Warriors met a strong Car­ mel team (which was the only team to defeat last year's soph­ omore squad) and found them­ selves behind the entire first quarter and a good part of the second period as their own turn­ overs prevented them from taking the lead. But McHenry was able- to grab the lead just before the intermission and were never headed after that as they defeated Carmel 58-46. In the championship game the Warriors once again found themselves constantly behind in the early stages of the game as their shooting was somewhat off and North Chicago took, a 28-25 lead at the intermission. But the Warriors defense took over in the second half and al­ lowed the Warhawks pnly 13 Knaack points in the final two quar- Habich ters to pull out the victory and Cunat earn the Warriors their second Doran tournament championship of the Smith, D year (they also won the Lake Zurich Thanksgiving Tourna­ ment). The entire team deserves credit for a fine effort throughP out the tourney as the defense allowed the opposition an av­ erage of less than 40 points per game. Leading the offense for McHenry was Mark Bentz and Rog Ludwig with 46 and 42 points respectively in the three games while Tom Knaack chip­ ped in with 35, including a 19 point effort against Carmel. Al­ so8 performing exceptionally well for the Warriors were Randy Mauch, Bob Habich, John Cunat and Chuck DoKan. The threet victories brought the sophomore record to a per­ fect 12 wins and 0 losses as they prepare to host Woodstock tonight at Buckner gym.

MCCCagers Compete In Holiday Tourney The McHenry County College basketball team looked flat as they lost Jboth of their games in the Thornton Holiday Tourna­ ment this past week, Dec. 28 and 29. On Monday night they were squashed by Morton 100 to 64, and in the consolation game Tuesday, Triton downed them 89 to 80. The Scots trailed Morton by only 6 points, 44 to 38, at intermission and then ran out of gas. They did their poorest shooting of the year as they could only connect on 8 of 44 attempts in the second half. In the Triton contest the Scots got behind 11 points by half- time and then couldn't quite catch up. Their shooting was much better than the previous night as they hit 31 out of 78 attempts for 39.7% and 18 of 24 free throws for 75%. They out rebounded Triton 41 to 40 tcfiiiark the first time this year ti\$y have been ahead in this de­ partment. Jerry Burke should be commended for his excellent hustle as he led a second half rally and contributed 20 points, his best effort of the year.

CAPTAIN «N COACH -- Capt. Frank A. "Pap^ py" Stetson, Jr., of McHenry (left) and Wooay Hayes, head football coach for Ohio State uni­ versity, discuss flight plans and game plans onboard Buckeye's United Air Lines charter flight to the Rose Bowl. Stetson, a 1941 grad­ uate of OSU, has been unofficial team pilot for Ohio State since 1952. Onboard the team's return flight from Los Angeles to Columbus Sunday, Jan. 3, "Pappy" had a surprise party to celebrate his fifty-sixth birthday. , "Pappy"' Stetson's greatest birthday present would have been to have a plane load of winners when he flew the Ohio State university football team home from the Rose Bowl Sun­ day, Jan. 3. Unfortunately, he was disappointed. "Pve never carried a loser home from Pasadena yet," he said before the game, "and my family and I will be in the stands cheering them to victory Friday afternoon just for insurance." Frank A. Stetson, Jr., is a United Air Lines DC-8 captain who has been flying the Buck­ eyes throughout the Midwest and across the country for 18 years. Although he hasn't flown many OSU charters in the last ten years (because the four-engine DC-8s are too large for the short haul flying the team does to meet its Big 10 schedule) during the 1950s anytime the Buckeyes flew "Pappy" was at the controls. He estimated he had flown Ohio State teams more than 30,000 miles by the time the big jet touched down in Columbus Sunday afternoon. Stetson celebrated his fifty- sixth birthday Jan. 3, but a surprise birthday party planned for him was somewhat anti- climactic after Ohio State lost to Stanford in the Rose Bowl. Nevertheless, sometime after the flight crossed the Contin­ ental Divide, at an altitude of 37,000 feet, "Pappy" was ask­ ed to go back into the cabin. There he was given a small cake and received a rousing chorus of Happy Birthday from the more than 100 team mem­ bers, coaches and staff who were his passengers that day. A 1941 graduate of Ohio State, with a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, Stet­ son has been unofficial team pilot since 1952. During the '50s "Pappy" was requested every time the team had a United charter and in 1957 flew them West to the Rose Bowl. He made the transition from DC-6 piston aircraft to DC-8 jets in 1960. § Two years ago the team char­ ter was planned in three-engine Boeing 727 equipment but Stet­ son flew the band charter in a DC-8 and counts the trip among the "winners". He says all of his flights with" Coach Woody Hayes and Ohio State mm. WOODSTOCK 338 0032 NOW PLAYING FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AT 7:00 AND 9:37 P.M. SUNDAY 2:30-4:45-7:00 AND 9:35 teams have been generally un­ eventful and attributes this to superior team discipline. Team discipline may account for smooth trips onboard but Stetson's extra care insures the precision operation of the flights. Two or three days be­ fore each charter he identifies the aircraft planned for the trip and double checks that any necessary maintenance work will be completed prior to his .9 departure with the ferry flight to Columbus; locates the other crew members; and checks to be certain there will be no slip­ ups in the boarding of meals and cabin supplies. On the day of the trip he attempts to op­ erate ahead of schedule. Stetson lives near McHenry with his wife, Dorothy, and son David, 13. He normally flies a route between! Chicago and Honolulu. V" One Out Of Five Illinois Hunters Bag A Deer During Season Illinois hunters bagged 2,029 deer in the second half of the shotgun season, according to Jim Lockart, supervisor of wildlife resources for the Illinois Department of Conser­ vation. This brought the incomplete total for the shotgun season to 8,756 deer killed, an increase of 386 over last year's total. He said a complete and accur­ ate total will not be available until records from all deer checking stations have been tal­ lied. During the second season, Jo Daviess led all counties with 153 deer killed. The largest deer taken was a 221-pound field-dressed buck in Hender­ son County, Lockart said. There were 46,880 permits' sold during this year's hunt, which indicates that one out of every five hunters bagged their deer. During the season, 449 arrests were made by law en­ forcement officers. Improper clothing was the most common offense. Uncased guns in ve­ hicles accounted for the second greatest number of arrests.- r HARVARD-^ THEATRE 21-23 N.
