PAGE 8 - PLAINDE ALER-WEDN ESDAY, NOVEMBER ». 1W4 EARL WALSH So I Hear SPORTS EDITORJ Of course, we don't un­ derstand such things, but the thought keeps coming to us that it would be better for these investigating committees to close shop and get back to the problems facing our country. Right now they are worrying about Rockefeller giving away a few million dollars. It was his own money and if he had fun -- so what? Let's get after those politicians on the take. Why worry about "Rocky". He doesn't have to steal. Bob Blake says it was the "Luck of the Irish" that Notre Dame beat Pitt last Saturday. Bob isn't Irish.' The Barrington Broncos were terrors in the North Suburban loop, but met their Waterloo against Rockford East in the grid playoffs. Dick Rabbitt probably saw that game so we'll be waiting for his version. Now is the time to dig out warm clothing that has been hanging in the closet a long time and give it to a clothing drive or some charitable organization. It is easy to put off getting those warm duds ready to help others less fortunate. People in need may be chilly today and doggone cold tomorrow. Herb Reihansperger is probably on cloud 9 since his Wisconsin Badgers walloped the Northwestern Wildcats. Being such a staunch Cub fan, the poor guy needs a winner in some sport. 'Twas sad watching the Chicago Bears trying to play football Sunday. They finally scored a touch­ down and had the ball called back on a holding penalty. In charity, the officials and the opponents should have given the touchdown. Bobby Douglas may not be a quarterback, but he should be playing someplace in the lineup. He can tote the ball. And whaddaya know! Green Bay beat the Minnesota Vikings. Maybe their coach won't be fired after all the rumblings. Victor Bassi, Jr. was just telling us Saturday how he would like to see Bart Stan- take over Green Bay next year. asiAaus JIo i fIF I cScwinq ^Lfou Qfc îruit îxntan c/fnd c/fmsxican ^?ood ĉ fnJ.

If Bart Starr can coach the way he played quarterback for the Packers, nobody could beat them. PICKUPS: The fellow who can't figure out what to do with a Sunday afternoon is often the same one who can't wait for retirement. When asked what he con­ sidered the most essential qualification for a politician, Winston Churchill said: "It's the ability to foretell what will happen tomorrow, next month, and next year -- and to explain afterward why it did not happen." Basketball Warriors Plan For King Kong Tournament By Dick Rabbitt Coach Ken Ludwig is preparing his McHenry High "Warriors" for the basketball season opener at Sycamore on Friday, Nov. 29 in the annual King Kom tournament. The Warriors meet the host school Sycamore on Friday at 8:30 p.m. The Warriors strength this year seems to be in depth and balance. Steve Kaspryzk, Kenne Ludwig, Tom Ludwig, and Terry Reilly are in an all out battle for the guard positions. Joe Meyer, Marty Zeller, Brett Decker, Steve Koerber, Ron Stine, and Don Rode are competing for the forward spots on the varsity. Tom Stark, Brian Lund, and transfer student Doug Hertel are fighting for the center position. Coach Ludwig feels that he has better than average size this year for his Warriors. Two boys go over 6'5", Brian Lund and Doug Hertel, he has three boys at 6'4" in Stine, Koerber and Zeller, two more go 6'2" in Brett Decker and Dan McCafferty. Coach Ludwig feels with this size the team should be able to do the job both on the offensive and defensive boards. The coach feels because of this size he should be able to run more. The squad has excellent attitude, spirit, and enthusiasm, plus a winning tradition. The team has a lack of experience with only two regulars returning, Tom Stark and Steve Koerber, plus two other lettermen, Marty Zeller and Steve Kaspryzk. They have only average speed and quickness. Coach Ludwig commented that they are working very hard on this area at the present time. The coach went on to say, "Because of having more size this year we will not be as quick as in the past seasons". He went on to SHAPING UP - Coach Ken Ludwig watches intently as 8*4 center Ron Stine hooks a shot for the basket. Defending is Doug Hertel, a 6'5 center. The Warriors are in daily practice as they prepare for their first game of the season. They will meet Sycamore on Friday, Nov. 29, in the twelfth annual King Korn Tourney at Sycamore high school. The tourney will have eight area schools participating for the championship trophy which was won by West Aurora last year.

I believe that the team has the ability to, do the job this year," said Coach Ludwig. As for the outlook for the Warriors this season, they should improve as the season progresses, the guards will be the key to the success of the team this year. Coach Ludwig went on to comment, "We have excellent potential, and we expect to have a real fine ball club". The Warriors have set their goals high, first winning a conference championship, and second doing well in the post season tourney. The conference outlook is tough, especially in the round ball game. Any one of 5 or 6 teams could wind up with all the marbles. The Warriors, Zion Benton, North Chicago, Dundee, are all contenders. I'll go along with Coach Ludwig, if he can find a pair of guards who can get the ball to his big men, the Warriors will be the team to beat in the North Suburban. Until I'm proven wrong I'll stick with the Warriors this season.

Joe Frazier fought a stu­ pid fight against Foreman, sure he would win but knock­ ed out in two rounds. Fore­ man, in Africa, didn't act like a man up against a tough fight and training hard. He walked around in fancy robes and frills, joked about how tough he was and--some say -- didn't train hard enough. (But his utterances were those of a gentleman.) Ali did the same thing in preparation for his first Fra­ zier fight and also before his first Ken Norton fight-goof­ ed off during the training period. Hard to believe men mak­ ing the kind of money they're making won't get dead seri­ ous about every fight--which means so much to them. Hard to understand how they get cocky and overconfident. But all that money, acclaim and the idolizers hanging on turn their he ads-and they often act like children. Es­ pecially Ali, a great fighter but a childish talker. There have been smart heavyweights, but not in re­ cent years. ONE MINUTE SPORTS QUIZ 1. Hank Aaron is with what club? 2. Name the winners of the National Tteam Golf Championship. 3.
