St. John's eighth grade basketball team climaxed a successful basketball season on March 9 by winning the St. Bede Invitational Tourney at Grant high school. Outsized in every game, they showed their poise in winning the close games. In the opening round they took on a highly regarded Johnsburg Jr. Hi team and won 36 to 33. The semi-final game was even tighter, but St. John's hung on for a 34 to 32 victory over St. Francis of Lake Ztrich. In tlje finals St. John's wasn't given much of a chance against a big physical Gavin team, but forcing them into many turnovers with their tough zone press and making clutch free throws, the St. John's five won in ova-time 35 to 31. Among their other accomplishments this year were, finishing in a tie for the conference championship, finishing 2nd in the Rockford Diocesan Tourney in Elgin, and fiQfehing third in the local McHenry American Legion Tourney. Congratulations to the boys on a fine season. Front row, Connie Hanahan, Kim Quinn, Diane tyeHesen. Standing, Maureen Davis, Doloras Kurowski, Karen Stull.

EARL WALSH So I Hear SPORTS EDITOR. Earl will be in Florida by the time you read this. People tell me that he has taken a break from writing this column -now and then but has never missed a city council meeting as city clerk in 37 years. That's quite a record. Well, this is one person's opinion of what was wrong with the White Sox in '73 and how things look for this year. First of all, the base coaching was terrible-too many base runners lost either by poor guidance or their own carelessness. Both Melton and Allen took too many good pitches. Carlos May would have done better if he had been more confident and aggressive in his base running. (This year he does look better.) difference in the outcome of games, a number of batters took three strikes with the bat on their shoulders. Leon would have been a better hitter if he had just tried for base hits rather than hit the fence. Can't help wondering why Allen can come and go pretty much as he pleases. It's hard to understand why the highest- salaried player on the team should be pampered - which could cause dissension. He wasn't that good last year even before he got hurt and I don't agree that he didn't need practice last year and doesn't need it this year. I guess what I am trying to say is that I don't believe in "super players." Every man on the team is important. American Junior Bowling Tournament Of cMcHenry County The Annual Junior Bowling tournament, which is again being sponsored by the McHenry County Women's Bowling association and McHenry County Men's Bowling association, is being held at the McHenry Recreation Bowling lanes.

JUNIOR BOYS: 1st Casey Stahlman, 680, Enough times to make a real M c H E N R Y , I L L I f l S - O l 4 4 The total wins of the two best pitchers were very few more than their total losses - not a good record if a team expects to be a winner.

Frosh Win Third In West Chicago Cage Tournament McHenry's freshmen basketball team ended its season last Thursday on a happy note by edging Oswego 54 to 50 for third place in the tourney. The Warriors entered the 4th quarter of play leading 41 to 39, and with 3 minutes to play ran off 10 straight points to lead 53 to 43. The Warriors then held off their opponents last minute charge to bring home the trophy. John Rudolph dominated the boards with 16 rebounds, and Brian Miller, Bill Hurckes, Loren Klapperich and Randy Schiller all scored in double figures. TTie freshmen closed their successful campaign with a final record of 15 victories and 8 losses. Their record in the North Suburban was 10 and 3.

MCHS Giris Badminton Team Loses Close One This year, the two pitchers who look best to me are Moran and Joe Henderson. Moran was drafted from the Red Sox; Henderson had a record of 17 wins and 4 losses with the double A team at Knoxville and finished the season with Des Moines. I think he will make the team. Hairston, Sharp, Dent and Downing, all drafted from Des Moines will be a big help to the team this year. (Sure wish I could meet that manager at Des Moines.) I think that Downing, before the season goes very far, will be the first- string catcher. Sharp will be a very capable backup for Henderson in center field; Hairston is a versatile player and can play outfield and first base. To me, Dent should get the shortstop job. I would like to say that I think the Sox will win their division this year but there seems to be too many flaws left from last year. Since these thoughts are open to criticism I'd be glad to get others' ideas or anything you would like to add. I might even get up the nerve to send these comments to Chuck Tanner! Next week I would like to talk about the Cubs. Walt Freund The McHenry Girls' Interscholastic Badminton team came close to victory as they fell short 4-3 against Zion Benton last Thursday, March 14. Winning for McHenry were doubles Roni Bierman and Deb Mahon scoring decisively over their opponents 5-3 and 15-4; and Gail Gunder and Lisa Newport in close matches 15-12 and 15-14. Dawn Ewald won her singles match beating her Zion opponent 11-8 and 11-7. Also playing for McHenry were doubles Pat Estis and Deb Freund, Mara Jones and Mona Wheelock; singles Helen Ericksen and Mary Elliott; and exhibition doubles Diane Unger, Monica Kosta, and Taina Olsen and Reggie Lunkenheimer. This leaves the McHenry team with a 1-3 record and one game to go. Their last game will be at home against- Barrington March 27.

Sophs Finish With 15 And 8 Record Coach Gary Collin's Sophomore A squad finished the season with a fine 15 to 8 record. In the North Suburban they finished in a tie for 3rd place with a 7 and 6 mark. Hie young sophs were a hustling ball club, although in most of the games they were outmatched by their opponents. In only 4 of the 23 games did the sophs play a team that they could match in size; Much credit should be given to Coach Collins and his squad for a very commendable job. f tDf f B' Soph Team Has 5-4 Season The sophomore "B" basketball team finished the season with a 5 win 4 loss record.
