PAGE 6-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, JANUARY 5 V EARL WALSH' Sports storie^are coming in so slowly for this issue that we feel like the fellow out in left field without a glove. But, we trust good 01' Wayne Gay lord will come through with enough good pictures to help us fill a page. 'Tis said one picture is worth a thousand words so maybe our worries are solved. The New York Yankees have been sold, but not down the river. Those D--- Yankees showed signs last season of being on the move-up. If the new owners don't shake up the management, we will probably see the one time Bombers breathing down the necks of the White Sox. So many people tell us they stayed home New Year's Eve that we begin to wonder how so many night spots were sold out a week ahead. We must h^e been talking to Old Folks like ourselves who were home in time to hear .Lawrence Welk. To the best of our knowledge and belief, we have not written 1972 since '73 arrived. It never happened before. Must be we had enough of '72. Saw Petie Schaefer briefly the other night but didn't have a chance to g^ his predictions on the coming baseball season. A little bird told us that we didn't count one staunch Sox fan last summer when our list was published -- Mrs. A1 So I Hear SPORTS EDITORJ SPORTS FANS!.

NOTICE TO DICK RABBITT: When you conclude your series on "MEET YOUR COACHES," how about star­ ring a "MEET THE COACHES' WIVES"? Any one of them could write a book on "The Long Season". Fans get to talking about sports when they get together. In talking about what a great guard Marty Conway was in his basketball days, somebody came up with, "Did you kj Marty is hospitalized?" No. We didn't know Hi, Marty!--Wherever you areJYou certainly have a host of friends, young and old, pull ng for you. We hear too much about "this younger generation". Not enough about their good points. A woman was telling us about her predicament of having her car stall one night. Said when two young "long-haired" youths stopped she was scared to death. But, those young fellows were there to help her. She says they were "great." Those reports are nice to hear. Studying the man's elec­ trocardiogram the doctor said, "We're agreed, aren't we, on tljg steps you must take? For the next six months, no drinking, smoking, women, dancing, tennis, swimming, skiing, or overeating, Right? And above all, you must try to enjoy yourself."

D.C.-One of the curious facts of life in America is that so many of us bend over backwards to prove we're not preju­ diced. A dope addict, crim­ inal or general bummer often ends up with his life portray? ed in film and with people everywhere knocking them­ selves cold to show they forgive him and sympathize with him, and know, in their hearts, he's a good chap after all. That psychology had something to do with the selection of Johnny Rodgers of Nebraska as Heisman T r o p h y w i n n e r r e c e n t l y . Maybe Rodgers should have* won it last year (and Bob' Devaney should have won' coach-of-the-year honors) but Gregg Pruitt of Oklahoma certainly had a right to think he might win this year. Pruitt had been the pre­ season favorite. And he also led^his team to a better sea-/ sdn than that enjoyed by the Cornhuskers. But Pruitt didn't have a past in which he held up a filling station. B l e e d i n g h e a r t s p o r t s writers and broadcasters joined in the parade for Rod­ gers because some wonder­ ed aloud about his stickup, his detention on suspected marijuana possession, his arrest for running a stoplight while driving with a sus­ pended license this past spring, none too serious in one way, except the stick- up. To prove they aren't prej­ udiced, however, many voted for Rodgers, and presumably f e l t q u i t e s e l f - r i g h t e o u s afterward. But Pruitt prob­ ably deserved the Heisman award more. "What you are speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you say" - Missionaries report one of the most frequently heard objections to acceptance of Christianity is: "The Bible is a good book. It is surprising that Americans (white man) is not much better than he is, as he has had it for so long". RECORD HOLDERS on the McHenry swimming team. These photos taken at a recent r^eet show Jon Sek (top photo) and Scott Togp (bottom photo) performing in the events in which they hold the records. Jon holds the varsity record in the breast stroke and Scott has the varsity record for the back stroke. Scott has also met the state qualifying time.

(STAFF PHOTOS-WAYNE GAYLORD) MCHS Frosh Cagers Nip Crystal Lake In 49-47 Squeaker l$P0Rl$cC0RNERj$ By Dick Rabbitt M c H e n r y ' s f r e s h m e n Warriors traveled to Crystal I^ake Saturday, Dec. 23 and met their stiffest competition to date in winning 49 tjt 47. The young Warriors halftime 25 to 21. This lead did not hold for long as the Warriors hit a frigid spell and the Lakers led 34 to 33 going into the final quarter. Terry Reilly and Tom Ludwig provided the heroics in the final stanza as they scored all 16 pts for the Warriors in the final period. Ludwig's basket with a minute remaining tied the contest and Reilly's shot from the top of the circle with 25 seconds remaining provided the winning margin. Steve Koerber was the team leader in rebounds, Brian Lund led in assists, and Brett Decker held the Tiger's high scorer to two field goals in the scond half. Don Rode and Tony Cristy came off the bench, each connecting on his only shot to contribute to the Warrior* victory. Crystal Lake is now 8 and 2 for the season, while the Warriors sport a perfect mark of 5 and 0. Next game is with Zion- Benton on Jan. 13. BASEBALL * * * By Pete Fritchie WASHINGTON, D.C.-The Now York Yankees th ink they ' l l win a pennant next year for the f i rs t t ime in a decade . That ' s because of t rades pul led off by manage­ ment a t the recent Hawai i basebal l meet ings . * The Yankees acquired Mat ty Alou, a proven h i t te r who wi l l probably bat th i rd in the l ineup f rom Oakland, and Craig Net t les , who may bat f i f th , f rom Cleveland. To get Net t les the former Bronx Bombers had to g ive up th^ bes t young prospect they 've had in years , Char les Spikes , and other p layers . Eleven c lubs repor tedly sought Net t les f rom Cleve­ land. Cleveland i s expected to get two s tar ters out of the Net t les deal , Spikes and Rusty Torres ; but the Yan­ kees have obvious ly grea t ly improved the i r h i t t ing and they d idn ' t have to t rade away top p i tchers . For a t ime th is year i t seemed the Bombers had a good chance and as la te as September they swept three games f rom Detroi t , the eas t ­ ern d iv is ion winner . In the end they missed out by only a few games and the power manager Ralph Houk has added should make a di f fer ­ ence in 1973. Hauk says the offense should be the bes t s ince the Yankees ' winning days . And he says i t ' s t ime to go out and win i t .
