TAX GUIDE AVAILABLE Tax time is usually headache time. But the 1973 Farmer's Tax Guide can ease those headaches. . .The guide explains in /k everyday language how to prepare and file farm income tax returns. It also contains examples that illustrate how tax laws apply to actual far­ ming situations. The booklet tells what income must be reported, what farm expenses can be deducted and how to claim depreciation and soil and water conservation expenses. The publication also sum­ marizes new tax developments and lists special taxpayer publications on nonfarm subjects. The 1973 edition has been expanded to include a chapter on Investment Credit which was restored by the Revenue Act of 1971. And, for the first time, the guidfc contains a separate chapter on sales and other - dispositions of depreciable property and land.

Southern Cal has to be the best. Besides a strong defense, they have chain lightning in the offensive lineup. " SUDDEN THOUGHT --- If all of us could remember that charity goes far beyond the giving of material things, our measure of self esteem would justifiably be greatly enhan­ ced. j Be sure to read Dick Rab- bitt's report on the Warriors and their play in the Kankakee tournaments McHenry lost Mark Bentz on fouls and that meant the old ball game in the second overtime with Bradley. Which brings us up to our annual sound-off about foul rules in basketball. We are agin' 'em. Take for instance football - which is hardly a patty-cake game. Fouls cost yardage, but do not result in a player being put out of the game. It is OK with us for officials to out a player out of the game for The Happy People In Town Are Those Who Read the McHENRY PLAINDEALER. By Dick Rabbitt The McHenry Warriors lost the championship game in Kankakee Holiday Tournament to the Bradley Boilermakers by a score of 61 to 57 in a double overtime last Saturday night. Ft was a tough loss for the local squad, who won the hearts of the fans because of their hustle and all around fine play. In tracing the Warrior's route to the championship game, they opened tournament play on Wednesday against Crete- ifaonee. McHenry jumped into a^ 17 to 13 lead and increased their lead at halftime 37 to*' 22. Ludwig, Bentz and Him- pelmann kept the Warrior attack rolling during this first half. During the final two periods the Warriors managed to keepxiheir 15 pt lead and won easily,jffO to 55. Roger Ludwig's 22 pts paced the local attack. Big Mark Bentz chipped in with 19 and pulled down 16 rebounds. A good pressing defense and all around hustle helped in this victory. In the second game on Thursday night McHenry completely outclassed Kankakee Eastridge, coached by Joe Gubbins former Marian Central coach. The final score was 76 to 45. Bentz had 25 pts. This victory put McHenry into the semi-finals against Dwight, an upset victor over tour­ nament favorite Normal. -STUN DWIGHT - Playing a tough man to man defense McHenry reached the finals with a stunning 79 to 57 win over Dwight. Trailing 18 to 14 in the quarter the locals managed to gain a one point lead at halftime 28 to 27. With Himpelmann and Ludwig hitting two quick baskets, the Warriors jumped out to a 36 to 27 lead, and from then on coasted to another easy win. Tim Tonyan came off the bench to gather in 8 baskets and his 16 pts were high for the Warriors. In this game McHenry hit on 34 out of 60 for a whooping 57 percent average. Dwight had 22 for 49 and a 45 percent average. The championship game matched two well coached teams. Both Coach Ken Ludwig of the Warriors and Ed Hayes of Bradley_have to be com­ plimented lor bringing their teams to the finals. Playing without the services of Ben Himpelmann, who came down with the flu Saturday morning in the motel, definitely hurt the Warriors. McHenry jumped out to a quick lead and led 13 to 10 at the quarter. Ludwig and Knaack had 11 of the 13 pts in this quartet. During the 2nd quarter it became evident that both teams were tired. Poor passing and turnovers took place on the part of both teams. fThe Warriors managed to increase their lead to 26 to 18 at halftime. In the third quarter the Warriors hit a cold spell and did not score until Bentz's basket with 4:50 remaining. In the meantime Bradley managed4o- hit for 10 straight points and go into the lead. Ludwig's basket with 0:2 remaining tied the score at 36 all going into the final period. Midway in the 4th period Bradley gained a 45 to 38 margin, but the Warriors fought back and actually led with 1:23 remaining 51 to 49. J. Remole scored from un­ derneath with 45 seconds remaining and the game ended 51 to 51. Gallois put Bradley ahead 53 to 51 with 1:18 remaining, but Bentz came back at 1:01 and tied it up 53 all at the end of the 1st overtime. -BENTZFOULS OUT- In the second overtime, with 3 seconds gone, Bentz fouled out, and there went the Warrior rebounding strength. It was all Bradley from this point on, and they ran out the clock with a well deserved 61 to 57 victory. In talking with tournament5 officials they had nothing but praise for the Warriors. They felt the absence of Himpelmann hurt the Warriors. They also felt that Bradley had quite an advantage of home cooking and sleeping, while the Warriors were staying in a motel. Their man for man defense all over the floor, their shooting, and all around play left its mark at Kankakee. They were the favorites of the huge crowd gathered for the finals. It was a job well done. After the game Coach Ludwig had this to say about his squad. "They were just great". He went on to say "We will be a better team because of the experience we gained in this tournament. It will help us in our coming conference games." One of the highlights of the tournament was when it was announced that the McHenry Cheerleaders were voted the outstanding group of the 16 competing teams. The three lovely young ladies who led the cheers throughout the tourna­ ment were, Vicki Petersen, Jayne McMillan, and Kolleen Carroll. May I extend congratulations to the Warrior §squad, coaches, and cheerleaders from all the Warrior fans.
