PAGE 6 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, JANUARY 10,1975 EARL WALSH So I Hear SPORTS EDITOR. In visiting with our long time friend Vince Adams, we found him enthusiastic about the "Wild Game Dinner" being sponsored by the Knights of Columbus at the V.F.W on Jan. 18. As we understand it, you will have selections to suit your taste. We attended one of those events (think it was sponsored by the Sportsman's Club)a few years ago and enjoyed a fine feast. Looking quickly through Sports News from Western Illinois University, the name Mike Pierce looms up. Mike received an award for his play in Junior Varsity football, known as the "Little Leathernecks." Seems ages since we saw our Warriors on the basketball floor. There will be plenty of ball bouncing this weekend. On Friday night the Mun- delein team will come to us. On Saturday night it will be Marian Central and we go to them. Both good attractions. Next Sunday comes the Super game between the Minnesota Vikings and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Everybody we talk to or listen to says Minnesota will take that game going away. So - we pick the Steelers. After watching them in the playoffs, we think they can't miss; Notice the Cubs are off to another great start in being the first club to sign all their players. That's one piace where they are first. Reminds us of the tag put on the old Washington team. "First in war, first in peace, and last in the American League." Ben Smith was down all the, way from Spring Grove last week. Hadn't seen him in ages. A boy was walking along a country road with a gun slung over his shoulder. A man in a car saw the boy, stopped and asked what he was hunting. "Don't know," said the boy. "I ain't seen it yet." Come to think it over, those New York Yankees may give the White Sox a run for the pennant in '75 They played good ball last season. Now they have "Cat­ fish" Hunter to bolster their pitching staff. The Sox won't dare look over their shoulders. PICKUP -- There are two kinds of people at parties -- those who want to go home early and those who want to be the last ones in the place. The trouble is that they are usually married to each others.

Warriors At A Marian Central Saturday Night by Dick Rabbitt In a game that al­ ways provides a lot of local interest, the Warriors travel to Woodstock tomorrow night to meet the Hurricanes of Marian Central. The sophomore game will get under way at 6:30 with the Varsity game about 8 p.m. Because of the interest that has been built up for this game, I usggest that you get to Woodstock early in order to get a seat. Marian is currently 3 and 2 in the East Catholic Suburban, fresh from a win over previously unbeaten Driscoll. The Hurricanes upset the highly favored Highlanders 60 to 57 last Saturday night at Marian. The game has an added flavor with three McHenry boys leading the Hurricanes this season. The "Canes" of Coach Bud Grover are led by 6'5" Bill Moer- schbaecher, 6'5" Sam An­ derson who is the "Canes" leading scorer this season, and 6'1" Mike Tonyan Although both teams have tough conferences game tonight, with Marian at St. Francis of Wheaton, and the Warriors hosting Mundelein, both teams will up for tomorrow night's game. , The Warriors have won the last two meetings between the schools, with last year's win 71 to 66 at McHenry. You can bet that Coach Grover will have his "Canes" ready at the whistle. Likewise Coach Ken Ludwig would like nothing better than to add Marian to his victory string this season. It should be a whale of a ball, game. You won't want to miss it.

(STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD) MCHS Grapplers 10th In Harvard Tourney I EE MEMBER THE SUDD HUMS Bv Dick Rabbitt Coach Marty Sobzcak's "Rassling Warriors" finished 10th in the Annual Harvard Holiday Tournament. This was the best finish for the Warriors at the Harvard tourney. Last vear they finished 12th. Individual place winners for the Warriors were as follows: Ken Scanlin finished 2nd at 105 lbs. Ken defeated Johnson of Sycamore in his first match 10 to 8. He then won over Stur- vadent of Harlem 2 to 0. Win­ ding his third match over Liptman of Highland Park 6 to 1, Ken then lost in the finals to Tim Sather of Crystal Lake by a score of 3 to 2. Steve Lane at 167 lbs., finished 3rd. Steve beat Steve Jule of West Aurora 3 to 2, and Mike Hyser of Belvidere 1 to 0. He then lost to Brian Santz who later was named M.V.P. of the tourney, by a score of 8 to 2. At 145 lbs., George Hansen picked up a 4th place ribbon. George had a bye in the opener, then beat Jim Walker of Stillman Valley 10 to 7. Geofge then lost his following two matches, being defeated by Brad Miller of Rochelle, and Mark Kolinski of Woodstock. Although >only 3 individuals placed in the tourney Coach Sobzcak was quite pleased with his squad. Particularly the lower weights. The Warriors were aggressive, but un­ fortunately ran into stiff competition at the lower weights. Other Warriors who were in the meet and their results are as follows: Third seeded Bill Preston at 98 lbs., lost to Johnson of Stillman Valley. At 112 lbs., Matt Schuster lost to Edgewood of Rockford Boylan 5 to 0. At 119 Don Freund was pinned by undefeated Tony Rodsonelso of West Aurora.

In the heavyweight division Scott Frantz was defeated by Mike Fisher of Rockford Harlem. Tuesday night the Warriors travel to Woodstock for a match, and the next home match is on Friday Jan. 17 against Dundee. First match is at 6:15 p.m. Let's get out and support the "Rassling Warriors", they are doing a fine job this season. From Wilfred Beaver, Sparta, Wisconsin: Do you remember when towns had their own bands which played in a park? The band­ stand was in the center and freshly painted benches circled the building. The round building was raised above the ground and had places for speakers and town leaders to sit. On the Fourth of July political candidates would tell the voters what they wanted to do if elected and usually the matter of patriotism was inter­ laced in the long speeches--with a personal gesture of how the man had fought for his country in a time of war or national emer­ gency. As the years passed ac­ counts of war duty would become quite dramatic and made the lis­ tener wonder why anyone else had been needed. The Mayor, his coun­ cil and others would speak too. Many town folk could be seen nodding and dozing as the speak­ ing wore on into the hot after­ noon. Yes, I remember those days-- do you?

Report Tuberculosis, Brucellosis Outbreak Th^State Tournament will be on Vlarch 1, (Saturday) at Higfield, bowling times will nnounced later. Chairman Rank urges all Farm Bureau members of the county to participate in this sports eyent. If you need any further in­ formation in regard to the bowling tornament, contact the Farm Bureau office, or Chairman Bert Rank. sponsored by the University of Illinois Cooperative Extension Service. This two-day school provided an intensive training session of instruction for figuring and filing farm as well as general income tax returns. The Springfield and Chicago districts of the internal Revenue Service and the State of Illinois Department of Revenue helped plan and prepare teaching materials. They also provided specially trained instructors. Outbreaks of brucellosis and tuberculosis have greatly in­ creased throughout the state this year, says J.R. Pickard, University of Illinois Extension veterinarian. By Sept. 1, 112 Illinois herds were infected with brucellosis (Bangs) and quarantined. The " infected herds are located in counties producing mostly beef, says Pickard. the diseased cattle are not those raised in Illinois, but carrier animals imported from southern and southwestern states. Animals from Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, K e n t u c k y , L o u i s i a n a , Mississippi, Tennessee, Oklahoma and Texas average twenty-four infected herds per 1,000 tested. That is fourteen times the infection rate in Illinois, Pickard adds. In addition, Department of Agriculture officials report the worst outbreak of tuberculosis in (he nation in ten years. Young says the school brought the tax practitioners up-to-date on new federal and state income tax rules, regulations and in­ terpretations. The end result of the school will be more income tax returns properly prepared. Farmers are urged by Young to seek the counsel of com­ petent income tax practitioners and consultants. •HARMONY SN0WM0BILC CLUB: Panavisicxi® Technicola® F'om Warner B<os#P A Warnei Ccxomunicaiions Company SHOW PI ACE 2 RTES. 14 & 31 / 455-1005 -Sun. 2:30-4:45-7:00-9:151 Wkdys. 7:00 - 9:15 'THE MAN UUITH THE GOLDEN Presents THE SNOWMAN SHUFFLE" SATURDAY JA 9 AN, :00 11th P.M. • tAt V J \ The VJ.W.

Pocket Calculator Quick Drip . Coffee Maker * Tuberculosis-positj^e herds are reported in Boone, Lee, Madison and Greene counties, Pickard says. While these herds are well separated by distance, all infected animals must be destroyed. In a Lee county dairy herd, seven tuberculin reactors were discovered and all thirty-two herd animals were destroyed. Twenty-two reactors in a large Greene county herd were destroyed following tests. And in late November, thirty-five animals in a Madison county herd tested positive and were destroyed. Illinois cattlemen must in­ crease their eradication ef­ forts, says Pickard. Producers will protect their own animals, as well as the 99 percent of the nation's cattle that are free of brucellosis and tuberculosis. Have your herd tuberculosis accredited and certified brucellosis-free, recommends Pickard. If you can't follow the federal control programs, then test your cattle periodically for the diseases. McHenry Man Charged With Striking Officer . C a r l t o n T r i c e o f 6 1 7 Columbus, McHenry, was charged with disorderly con­ duct, aggravated assault and resisting a peace officer. The arrest resulted Monday evening after deputies were called to the Trice home in response to a domestic dispute. Trice refused to cooperate and struck the investigating officer, after which charges were placed against him. His bond was set at $2,025 and he is to appear in court Jan. 23. On The Sidelines With Dick Rabbitt The Illinois High School Athletic Association has done it again. They have changed several regional tournaments in Class 2-A and one in particular is most annoying to McHenry High School. Instead of playing in the Antioch regional with the host school, Grant and Woodstock, the Warriors are now assigned to the Belvidere Regional. Now this in itself isn't too bad this year as the Warriors should emerge the number one team in that regional. But what is to happen in future years? Most schools if they have the facilities Ike to host a regional. If the interest is high, and the crowds good, it is possible for the host school to pick up some extra needed money to help the athletic budget. With Grant, Antioch and Woodstock along with our Warriors playing in the regional interest has been high, and the crowds better than average. Now let us look at this year's setup at Belvidere. The Warriors defeated the Bucs 102 to 85 in the King Korn tourney at Sycamore. Hinsdale Central defeated Belvidere 127 to 79 at DeKalb, and Batavia defeated Belvidere 100 to 70. Hononegah of Rock ton another entry at Belvidere is currently 0 and 4 in the Shark conference and has won one game this season. Woodstock is in a rebuilding year. They were defeated badly twice at the Kankakee tourney, and are struggling along this season. Only the Warriors have a winning record of the four teams entered at Belvidere. What if the Warriors were host to this year's regional with the above named teams entered? What kind of a crowd would Belvidere and Honenegah bring to McHenry. Since Woodstock has left the North Suburban, all past rivalry between the two schools has vanished. The I.H.S.A. takes a big hunk out of tournament proceeds. Unless the other three teams take a big turnaround I'm afraid the McHenry fans will be loneiy at Belvidere. In this case, maybe the I.H.S.A. will reconsider next year and put the teams in a regional where the interest is high and a guarantee of representative gate receipts. Traveling 40 miles to play in a regional, when you can almost play in your own backyard just doesn't seem feasible to me. Maybe the I.S.H.A. knows what they are doing, all I can say is I hope so. This year there is a record of 260 schools in Class 2A. With the entry of the Chicago Catholic League, and Lawrenceville last year's Class 1A champion there will be a battle to dethrone Proviso East last year's champion. Last year's fourth place winner Mater Dei of Breese, has dropped down to Class 1A due to a dropoff in enrollment. Former East St. Louis coach Pick Dehner and current Colljnsville coach Virgil Fletcher have filled a $200,000 lawsuit against an East St. Louis newspaper. An article written in the paper has quoted a reporter of saying that Dehner sold out to Fletcher in last year's regional finals. I will not believe that high school coaches would go that far. That reporter better have plenty of proof or the newspaper is going to lose some money, and probably the reporter will be out of a job. Next week we will give girls athletics some print. Some interesting things are going to take place in Illinois next year in regards to girls athletics. 1 FRI.-SAT.-SUN. 7:00 - 9:15 WKDYS. 7:30 PAUL /ROBERT NEWMAN/REDFORD ROBERT SHAW A GEORGE ROY HILL FILM "THE STING" A RCHAPD D ZANUCK/D/WD BROWN PRESENTATION O^CWO C* Dv WARD GEORGE ROY HILL TONY BILL.
