Spring Sports In Full Swing At McHenry High By Dick Rabbitt Tennis balls are bouncing, you can hear the crack of the bat, boys are running, jumping, vaulting, and the golfers are lining up their putts. It's springtime at McHenry High School and for over 200 boys it is the start of another season. No sooner than the basketballs are put away, and the wrestling mats rolled up, the spring sport schedule is under way.

You sports fans know that Hirsch beat New Trier East to win the big event. Most of the experts picked other teams that fell by the wayside^ With the good weather last week, most of the boys managed to get in some outdoor workouts. In Friday's edition I'll try and give you a more complete outlook on the teams for the coming season. Waht to do? Watch TV. The ladies' golf match intrigues us for a while, trail ride will be held April 29, starting at 10 a.m. Clean up at our arena will start at 11 on May 13, for our spring horse show which will be held June 3.

The adult Halloween party will be held at Vern Schiller's. Members were presented with club vests after having paid their dues. Our third annual dinner dance was a success with all having a good time. A few of the girls of the youth cooperated by pouring coffee. Read the paper. By the time we get through the sports section and Little Orphan Annie, we drop off to sleep. Wake up--a little stiff in the joints. Get up--stretch--amble toward the kitchen. A little snack won't hurt on Sunday. The better the day, the better the deed. Defense seemed to be the name of the game in this tournament. In this day and age, the low scoring seemed strange. The only thing that disturbed us in watching the games was some hootin' and hollerin' when opposing teams were shooting free throws. Sportsmanship? Not the kind of a bird watcher who gets up before sunup to watch'em, but find our feathered friends fascinating throught the kitchen window. Like all sports fans in this area we watched the Elgin team with interest. Guess we expected more from their 7 foot center. He simply didn't have what some smaller men had. Ever watch those robins? The fat blimps just seem to be standing around while other birds are searching for food. Could get at the job of putting a sports page together and writing a column. What goes on here? Now Green-Pearl has a Cub- Pub sign on the door. Mona covered the sign inside when we showed up. (She's a Sox fan, too). Blame it on those Schlitz boys, Dave and Jimmy Lennon.

(Mar. 21)--A 11-man turnout, including five lettermen, has varsity tennis Coach Jon Swift dreaming about capturing Carthage's initial conference net crown this spring. Coach Swift brought Cathage its first cross­ country championship and he appears determined to shatter the Redmen's tennis jinx in the CCIW too. "This could be our best tennis team," said Coach Swift, "but our season only runs a month, and the weather is usually so bad during April up here we can't get in all of our dates. You have to be an optimist to coach spring sports in Kenosha. We do have some bright spots though. There are no seniors on our squad and we even have a newcomer named 'Jack Arm­ strong," he added. The Carthage squad includes Jim Hurckes, freshman, a graduate of McHenry's West Campus. Jim is the son of Robert Hurckes of 5605 N.

The Great Smoky National Park has 16 peaks, each 6,000 feet elevation or more. From Wilfred Beaver, Sparta, WI: I remember when the mer­ chants of towns would arrange to provide Friday night movies in some vacant lot or park. Then the people of the town and farmers with their families could enjoy a full-length movie after doing their shopping in town. These were called "Free Movies" and the eager participation by everyone concerned was a joy to remem­ ber. Popcorn machines would be­ gin their work an hour before the 8 PM starting time. Picnic baskets and jugs of apple cider would be seen where groups of neighbors and friends met in clusters to talk until darkness arrived and the moving picture machine would light up a large billboard at the end of the lot. There was always one or two cartoons to begin the entertainment and perhaps an en­ terprising merchant or two would have films about their products or the name of their business flashed before the viewer's eyes (to show who was paying for the movie). Cars, trucks and wagons were lined up around the area and when the movie ended, car and truck lights were turned on as farmers began their trip home and those who still used horses and wagons would light their lanterns Tennessee, definitely a southern state, sent 31,000 soldiers to the Union Army during the Civil War. îiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiriiiiiiliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniriiiflnniimiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiifc 1 K0ENEMANN Country Made Sausages, Hams and Bacon [GERMAN IMPORTS AND CHEESES A Full Line Of Delicatessen U.I.

Collins, one of the nation's best college players, was a member of the U.S. Olympic team in Munich. His spectacular steal and ensuing two free throws with three seconds left gave the USA its only lead against Russia in the championship game. .Roger Cushman, sports information director for Illinois State University, explains the services of his office to Johnsburg Junior high students Marty Fossum, left, and Bill Hurckes, right. The two boys obtained press credentials to cover the supersectional game between Lincoln and Bradley. Their report appears in a story on this page. EDITOR'S NOTE: Two student journalism students at Johnsburg Jr. High School, Bill Hurckes and Marty Fossum, were given press credentials to cover the supersectional basketball game between Lincoln and Bradley in Normal, 111., last Tuesday. Bill is sports editor of the Johnsburg Journal, the student newspaper, and Marty is sports director of the Morning Report, the school's daily closed-circuit television program. Their account of their trip to Illinois State University to cover the basketball contest follows. By Bill Hurckes It was a busy and exciting day for Marty Fossum and me Tuesday as we traveled to Illinois State university to tour the campus and cover the supersectional basketball game. We were accompanied on our trip by Mr. Randy Swikle, journalism instructor at Johnsburg. The first item on our schedule was to tour Horton Fieldhouse. We arrived early in the af­ ternoon and met Mr. Duffy Bass, head baseball coach at ISU. Coach Bass, who was selected "Coach of the Year" by the National Collegiate Athletic association a couple of years ago, told us about his baseball team and about a few of his former ball players who are now in professional baseball. Then Coach Bass introduced us to Mike Bonczyk, a fresh­ man at ISU and former star of Thornridge's state champion basketball team. Mike is a very friendly guy. Marty and I had no trouble talking to him. Mike asked us if we knew Mark Hoffman and Todd Althoff of McHenry. We said yes, and he told us he knew them from basketball camp. Mike plays varsity basketball and baseball at ISU. After our talk with Mike, Coach Bass took us on a tour of the fieldhouse. Next we met Roger Cush­ man, the sports information director. Marty and I had a good interview with Mr. Cush­ man about his job. He said his main duty is to provide statistics of games to radio, newspapers, television, and other media. Mr. Cushman is the man who gave us our press credentials. After leaving the news and publications office, we went to visit the office of Photographic Services. Mr. Nelson Smith, the director, showed us around the darkrooms. We then saw some more of the campus and spent some time watching baseball practice. We arrived at the gym­ nasium at 7 p.m. and found our seats in the press area. We sat down at our table and Mr. Swikle left us to take care of some business. As • we were watching the pregame war- mups, a campus policeman came up behind us and asked us why we were sitting in the press area. We showed him our press passes but he didn't believe us. He took us by the arms and led us away. Then we saw Mr. Swikle. The policeman asked Mr. Swikle if he knew us. Mr. Swikle replied, "I never saw them before in my life." A moment later the policeman started laughing and we knew that he and Mr. Swikle had played a joke on us. Mr. Cushman spotted us and took us over to meet Doug Collins, the ISU star and Olympic hero. Doug told us the United States got cheated in the championship game and that is why the team did not accept the second place medals. We then left for our seats because the game was about to begin. By Marty Fossum Over 6,500 enthusiastic spectators gathered in Horton Fieldhouse at Illinois State university to watch Lincoln defeat Bradley-Bourbonnais 61 to 49 Tuesday night. But Lincoln had a little trouble with what should have been an easy victory. Although the score indicates a big win for Lincoln, the state's number one ranked team trailed Bradley most of the game until late in the third quarter. < The scoring was opened by Lincoln with a pair of charity throws from Mike Swingle. The scoring changed strides throughout the first quarter, but Lincoln put on a last-minute surge to capture a 15 to 10 lead at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter Bradley capitalized on Lin­ coln's mistakes~a number of turnovers that provided Bradley with scoring op­ portunities. The Boilermakers out-scored Lincoln 18 to 12 in the second quarter to take a halftime 28 to 27 lead. Lincoln's star 6'8" center, Norm Cook, was held scoreless in the first half by an aggressive Bradley defense. In the third quarter, however, Cook, who had been battling the flu, found his mark. The big man scored 12 of his 18 points to help his team take a 44 to 40 lead at the buzzer. In the beginning of the fourth quarter, Lincoln began to widen the lead. Bradley's hopes were dimmed when two of its starters fouled out early in the quarter. Bradley could not stop t h e L i n c o l n m o m e n t u m a n d a t t h e f i n a l b u z z e r the Lincoln Railers had won their ticket to the Assembly Hall 61 to 49.
