"500 Club ---- Maybe we shouldn't be so surprised at the scores turned in by our lady bowlers, but it wasn't too many years ago that we printed any series over 400 bowled by any member of the weaker sex--and thought 400 was near their limit of timber toppling. Leo Heimer just happened to stop at the Green Pearl the other night. Friendly place and you meet nice people. After other subjects were fairly well exhausted, we got to talking about the weather.

NMSU coaches and fans had to wait almost two months for the "Ground Hog" to show his shadow, but once he came out, there's not a chance that he's going back in. Burke Romkowske is here to stay! Standing barely six-feet tall and weighing 218 pounds, Romkowske joined the Aggies this fall without benefit of spring-training. And it took the 20-year-old native of McHenry, Illinois many long hours to learn the Aggie defensive assignments along the line. In the season's seventh game against U.T Arlington, Romkowske moved in to the starting lineup and ih three games, the bass-sounding Romkowske has built up a fistful of defensive point totals. He has 21 indiviual tackles, 11 assists and one fumble- recovery to his credit. Romkowske played the last two season^ at Rock Valley Junior College in Rockford, Illinois and according to Burke, "I just made tackles and never did do much of anything else, like an in­ terception, or a fumble- return!" In fact, Romkowske never really planned on playing college football at all after his high school career at Marian Central. "But my defensive line jgoach in high school helped me a lot and helped me to get on with Rock Valley," he smiled. Nicknamed "Ground Hog" because of his low defensive stance, Romkowske shrugs off the coinage with, "I had a different nickname at every place." _ Romkowske first caught Aggie Defensive coaches' eyes while serving as a potent member of the Aggie kickoff team. "We were grading films," said defensive line coach Lee Flachsbarth, "and every time, it seemed, we saw Romkowske making the tackle down field." And after he had gained the necessary experience, the starting job at defensive right tackle was waiting for him. Warrior Cagers Ready For '71-'72 Campaign An excellent place to spend your vacation is close to your budget. Asked some questions at the athletic dinner last week and was surprised to learn that Coach "Hutch" had 41 boys the past season to coach, care for and gpide. No assistant coach, if we got it straight. ("Hutch" did tell us one time that Don Seaton was helpful). by Fred Kusch Led by co-captains Mark Hoffrnan and Ron Miller coach Ken v Ludwig's Warrior basketball team appears ready for the 1971 hardcourt cam­ paign. Coach Ludwig feels that the ball club has a fine winning attitude. As in any other en­ deavor a strong positive mental attitude is important. Not many teams are winners if they lack this all important positive mental attitude. The Warriors are fortunate to have four returning lettermen from last year's ball club. In addition to Miller and Hoffman, 6'2" Don Prazak and 6'4" Carey Fenner return from last year's ball club. The Warriors also have good competition for the five starting positions and afs a result should have the finest depth they have had in several seasons. Coach Ludwig feels that the Warriors have better than average speed and are a real good shooting ball club. On the negative side of the coin, the Warriors lack overall good size especially the real big man. Experienced ball han­ dling under varsity pressure may also be a problem in the early going. Finally, early injuries may plague the Warriors. Mark Hoffman will be sidelined for the first couple of weeks of the season with a hand injury, and Carey Fenner may miss early games because of knee problems. This last item may prove costly in the early going since it cuts in half the number of seasoned varsity veterans from the Warrior squad. Overall the Warriors have been looking good in practice and a fine team spirit has prevailed as 18 candidates have been fighting it out for the 5 starting positions. At center are County Sports Festival Annual Banquet Dec. 3 McHejiry County's Sports Festival participants gather for the annual banquet of good fellowship, celebration and wrap-up of the year's activities on Friday, Dec. 3 at the Cloven Hoof, on Marengo's west edge. A rousing celebration and a chance to shout is richly- deserved, for McHenry County Farm Bureau finished second place in the state - its highest ranking in history-and had two championship softball teams! Other champions or near- champions were recorded from the time the first bowling ball was rolled in January to the final softball pitch in August! Reservations for this dinner WOODSTOCK 338 003?

Phone is 338-2000. "The dinner will serve as the kickoff for the 1972 Sports Festival season, too, for we will begin planning the 1972 county bowling tourney and the district competition in December," said Edgerton. At the Cloven Hoof on Route 20, Sports Festival participants and their spouses and guests will be in a private dining room, and an orchestra is lined up to assure dancing music after a short program. Reviewing the 1971 Sports Festival season is difficult because it had so many highlights. One highlight is the fact that the variety of sports gives quite a few people a chance to become involved in some recreational activities, and participation is the main reason for this quarter-century- old event. Often called the "greatest rural sports classic in the world," the Sports Festival gears scoring to emphasized participation, and this is one reason why the many people enjoy the games while we worked our way from fourth to second in total County Farm Bureau scoring," summarized Edgerton. Tazewell county scored 3,100 points; McHenry county had 2,885 and was one of a dozen counties recognized at the IAA annual meeting last week with presentations of plaques. The 35'ers placed second in 1961 and ranked third four times. The All-County team won its first state title this year. The Young Adults won the title in 1963 and three members of that 1963 champs played on this year's All-County winners-Doug and Gary Rudsinski and LeRoy Kuecker. Edgerton expressed ap­ preciation to the Country Companies staff members and others in the Farm Bureau family and many farmers who assist to make possible both the outstanding Sports Festival program and the dinner just ahead.

Tim is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Hidding of Crvstal Lake. Compost Those Leaves Instead of burning or bagging leaves this fall, an Illinois De­ p a r t m e n t o f A g r i c u l t u r e p l a n t pathologist suggests using them for compost. A compost pile is a good supply of organic fertilizer for a yard or garden. Besides its value as a fertilizer, compost is a good soil conditioner. It helps lighten heavy soils and hold moisture in sandy or clay soils, according to Norman Nesheim, a plant pathologist in the department. Here are his directions for making a compost pile: Select a site in a shady corner or behind shrubbery. The pile may be on the surface or in a pit. A pit of 12 to 18 inches deep is best, but good results cah be obtained from a surface pile. One advantage of a pit is that the removed soil can be used in the pile. The size of the pile will depend on the amount of leaves, grass clippings and weeds. Start the compost with a layer of leaves four to five inches deep. Add a thin layer of soil to weight the leaves down and hold mois­ ture. Continue alternating layers of leaves and soil. To hasten de­ composition, sprinkle a handful of commercial fertilizer and a small amount of finely ground limestone over each layer of soil. The area should be kept moist to aid decomposition. Turn the pile periodically with/£"^pade or fork to mix Ji^WeTl, but be sure to keep it compact to prevent drying. \ The compost should be jeady for use in about six months[ but more time may be needed for coarse materials. The cpmpost may be spread on gardens and spaded under, or it may be used as a mulch in borders and around shrubbery. enforcement officers a great deal in the past, and we are looking forward to being able to return the favor." Miller also stated that 25 of his officers will be equipped with radios with the ISPERN (Illinois S t a t e P o l i c e E m e r g e n c y R a d i o Network) frequency. )rill Sergeant. Leader of men.
