v# •* »• : Contest To Libertyville 21-12 By Dick Rabbitt Coach Bill Day's McHenry High Warriors lost a hard fought contest to the un defeated Libertyville Wildcats Saturday by a score of 21 to 12. The win enabled Libertyville to stay tied for the top spot with Barrington, a winner over Dundee The Warriors lost the toss and kicked to the Wildcats. After an initial first down on the Warrior 38, they dug in and forced the Cats to punt. Taking over in their own territory, the Warriors could not generate any kind of an offense and were forced to punt. This seemed pretty much the story during the first quarter. Neither team moving the ball, until late in the period a pooer Warrior pur.t gave the Cats the ball in Warrior territory As the quarter ended Libertyville was on the 21 yd. line, w'ith 4th and five, Poe, the fine Libertyville back, scooted off tackel to the 11 for a first down. Jenkins went to the five, and on the next play Foe carried the ball in for the T.D Harger's kick was good and Libertyville led 7 to 0. It was quite evident that the Warriors were in for trouble throughout the afternoon. Flaying without the services of Ev KlappericFT who Was in jured in the Crown game, the Cats adjusted their defense. With no outside threat, they were able to fill up the middle, and the going was tough from tackle to tackle. Taking the kickoff the Warrors managed to gather in a couple of first downs, and with the aid of a penalty reached the Libertyville 32 The bigger "Cat" line held and took over after a punt into the end zone. They started a march of their own and reached midfield before having to punt. The HOLDING THE HARDWARE.

Again on a draw play Poe went to the 10. With 3rd and 10, King passed to Burkhart for the T.D. with 31 seconds remaining in the half. Harger's kick was good and the halftime score was Libertyville 14. McHenry 0. FUMBLE COSTLY Taking the second half kickoff the Warriors started a march of their own. However, after making a first down, a costly fumble recovered by the Cats stopped the drive. With Poe and Jenkins carrying the Cats marched to the 3. A penalty set them back to the 8, and then Poe went in for his 2nd T.D. of the afternoon at :45 of the quarter. Vlink's kick was good and it was 21 to 0. Libertyville kicked to the Warrior 15. A pass interference gave the Warriors a first down on the 25. On another one of the famous broken plays Staley hurled the pigskin 55 yds. in the air to Mroz, who made a diving catch on the Cat's 32. On the next play the Warriors fum bled, and Libertyville recovered. A 15 yd. penalty forced them back to the 17, and on the next play Warrior defensive halfback Steve Kasprzyk stepped in front of a pass intended for Burkhart and rambled 30 yds. into the end zone for a Warrior score. The P A T. was no good and the Warriors trailed at the end of the quarter 21 to 6. During the 4th quarter, it was almost a repeat of the first quarter, neither team putting on a drive. The line play was fierce, both teams hitting hard. Late in the quarter George Hansen, on a broken play, sped 14 yds. to the Cat's 30 yd. line. On the next play Jimmy "Grabbo" Grabowski made a diving catch in the end zone for the T.D. The point after failed and the Warriors trailed 21 to 12 with 1:05 remaining. The on- side kick failed, and the Cats ran out the clock for the win. The Warriors played great ball. Eppe, Barry, Thornton, Hurckes, Mroz, Dobbertin, Kasprzyk, Decker, Meyer, Long, Roberts, Williams, all did a great job on defense against the more experienced and heavier Wildcats. It was just a case of playing a better ball club. Libertyville is big, experienced, and has some speed. They are a real con tender for the North Suburban Crown. The Warriors had 10 first downs to 11 for the Cats. The Cats managed only 34 plays from scrimmage to 32 for the Warriors. The game was a lot closer than the score. The Warrior passing attack was not as good as usual. Staley was 7 for 17, and some of his throws just missed his receivers. SCOUTS - HOMECOMING Next foe for the Warriors is the Lake Forest Scouts. They gave Mundelein a battle last week. They bring a young lad by the name of Philips, who is the scoring leader in the con ference. It will be Homecoming at McHenry. A pep rally is slated for Thursday night at West Campus at 7:30 P.M. In observing Saturday af ternoon football in the North Suburban, I do not believe it is the answer to crowd control. At Libertyville the crowd was right down on the sidelines, and even mingled with some of the Warrior players. 1973 Sophomore Warriors These members of the Soph Warriors will take on Lake Forest this Friday evening at McCracken Field.

(STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD) EARL WALSH As grandma used to say in her old Irish way, "I see be the paper"--that Chicago is bringing back the horses for police patrol in certain park areas. We knew the automobile and motorcyles would never replace the horse. How well we remember the mounted policemen handling crowds with great efficiency. We used to marvel at how those horses could work their way through ioop crowds without getting excited. We hope the horse comes back to all areas of police en forcement. That is--in Chicago. McHenry isn't ready. And just think how em ployment will pick up. Those men in white with scoop and broom will be in demand once more. Sat in Genevieve's dress shop the other night, comfortable as we waited (and waited)--just ready to voice our old com plaint about all those women's magazines for men to read when up popped a sports magazine. It spoiled our plans of protest. Women's Lib got a big boost when Billie Jean King clob bered Bobby Riggs in that much ballyhooed tennis match. Everyone around the league seems to be expressing an opinion of what can be done about this problem. My opinion is that if the adults will sit in the stands and show an example to the young ones, maybe the crowd control problem will vanish Anyway it is another idea to kick around, but maybe we should try it.

Wtih Wayne Gaylord's help, we planned one of the great extravaganzas of all time for McHenry. Marie had mentioned that our "Brenda" could beat any male tennis player in these parts. Had to admit that her back hand is too strong for the female set. Thought maybe the proceeds could^go to Helping Paws. Publisher Larry and Foreman Dick were all for the show Then the balloon burst. Our heroine told us she had given up tournament matches some three or four years ago and had no idea of coming out of retirement. Well, it was a thought. Anybody for dominoes?

The Hurricanes, who had produced 49 points in their first two outings, could not get on the scoreboard and thus . their record now stands at 1 - 2. Aurora mounted a third quarter drive of 72 yards as they took the kick-off and marched on the ground through Marian's defensive line. The Chargers were expecially tough on third down plays as Marian held on the first two downs to force the Aurora team into third and long situations that could not be contained by the Hurricane defense.

Marian's running game produced a sputtering attack as Joe Wagner, Mark Keil and Cal Babcock were held to a net 57 yards rushing while Aurora picked up 98 yards on the ground. Sam Anderson, replacing the injured Tom Corcoran at quarterback, was insirumental in keeping Aurora Central "in the whole" with his booming spirals. Anderson punted 6 times for a 43.1 average and he also completed five of twelve passes for 50 yards. Defensively, middle- linebacker Mike Pierce was outstanding with 7 individual tackels and 14 assists. Bill Adams, Joe Wagner, Gary Gilpin and Cal BabcOck also played tough defensively in the Marian forward wall. Marian's next opponent will be Immaculate Conception of Elmhurst at George Harding field in Woodstock. This is the home opener for the Hurricanes and kick-off is slated for 2 p.m. preceded by the Sophomore game. The starting offensive line-up for Marian this Saturday in the opening home game will be: RE Marty Palmer (175) McHenry Sr.; RT Gary Gilpin (227) McHenry Jr.; RG Bill Adams (185) McHenry Sr.; C Chuck Martina (192) McHenry JR; LG Mike Pierce (164) McHenry Sr; LT Dan Lenpon (186) McHenry JR; LE J|pk Sebesta (160) Crystal Lake Sr.; QB Sam Anderson (177) McHenry Jr, WB John Craig (155) Woodstock JR.; RB Joe Wagner (198) McHenry Sr.; RB Mark Keil (178) Woodstock Sr. Marian moves into their first Suburban Catholic Conference game with a 1-2 record and high hopes of beginning conference play with a victory over I.C. Physically the Hurricanes of Coach Tom Parker, are in good shape with the return of Bob Nihan (Woodstock). The only exception is the loss of quar terback Tom Corcoran.

JOAN STULL 385-5418 Americans Lag In Battle Against Blindness Half of the blindness in the United States could be prevented if people would have their eyes examined every two years, according to the Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness. Yet, the average American, if U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare statistics are valid, has an eye exam only once in seven years. Worse yet, according to Leonard H. Heise, executive director of the Society, the nation isn't doing all it can to prevent even greater tragedy tomorrow. This year another 350,000 Americans will suffer significant visual loss, and about 32,000 of them will ac tually go blind. If the present trend continues through 1985, blindness will increase by 30 per cent.
