1 Driving Lessons SPORTS EDITOR. Suppose if we hit the age of 90 years the thrill of athletic contests will still be with us. Twas a real kick to watch Coach Bill Day's Warrior football team beat the North Chicago Warhawks here Friday night by a score of 26-14. Before the game it appeared that the Warriors might not be ready for the Warhawks with their 16 returning lettermen. The Warriors showed us. Years ago the Chicago University had a ball carrier called "5-yard McCarthy". As the game started, it looked like "5-yard Ludwig" for McHenry. Then came Brian Nuss to show us speed and a certain toughness that picks up yar­ dage. Of course, there were others who stood out as the Warrior unit began to jell. Seemed to us that Steve Mai was in on a lot of action. If our count is correct, the Warriors recovered four fumbles and were in good field position to score more than four touchdowns. Let's give the Warhawk defense credit for that phase of the game. The visitors had speed galore in their backfield. At one point in the game it looked like the four horsemen were riding again. Credit the Warrior defense for putting the clamps on the speedsters. The point after tuuchdown has long been a problem in high school football, but Coach Day has less worries than some. Bill Hurckes kicks with his left foot and he kicks 'em straight. Warrior punting was also good. At one point when excitement ran high, Dick Rabbitt lit up a big pipe that looked like a sugar bowl. It wasn't that sweet. Tom Parsley and Verne Petersen broadcast the game from the press box and must have pleased their listeners. They do a real good job at the mike. As the crowd in the press box began to reach capacity, it was time for us to again sound off about a larger box. A tag day or benefit may be necessary. That's a joke, pardner -- but one of these days! Far be it from us to get on a 8EJ PROFESSIONAL earpti dawing results! (Ht ih itpunilfprint) RENT OUR RINSE N VAC-Umimw portablt.

We went up there recently and joined a sizeable crowd in the dining room. John Bolton was there with his usual friendly greeting. John was a fine athlete in high school a couple of years ago.

Vince Linnane, McHenry's fine sophomore, also broke the course record in the time of 16'13.9, however the young Warriors lost to Prosepct 24 to 34, and losing to Prospect 17 to 38.

Golfers Split With Grant, Lake Forest By Dick Rabbitt Coach Chuck Cuda's McHenry high school golf team split a pair of matches during the past week. On Tuesday they defeated Grant high school of Fox Lake, and on Thursday Lake Forest defeated the Warriors at McHenry Country club. Tomorrow they host Libertyville, and on Friday Elgin will be here for a match. By Dick Rabbitt The McHenry high school "Fighting Warriors" of Coach Bill Day opened their 1975 North Suburban season in fine style by defeating North Chicago 26 to 14 here Friday night. The Warriors were in com­ plete control of the game from start to finish, rushing for 212 yds and passing for another 77 yds. Although the Warriors picked up 75 yds in penalties, nevertheless they did not fumble, and that is most unusual in an opening game. North Chicago's opening kick went out of bounds and the Warriors took over on their own 40. Penalties forced them to kick to the Warhawk 41. The Warhawks could not generate any type of offense in the opening series and were forced to punt back to the Warrior 41. Rode's pass to Klapperich was good to the N.C. 35. Nuss then scooted throu the line for 35 yds for a T.D., but a clipping penalty nullified the fine run. Again N.C. held and forced the Warriors to punt to the N.C. 29 where Bill Dodge recovered a Warhawk fumble. Again the Warhawks held, and the Warriors did likewise taking the N.C. punt on the 45. Rode not finding his receiver open did a bit of fancy running and finally wound up in the end zone for the 1st Warrior score of the evening at 2:50 of the opening period. Hurckes kick was good, but again a penalty nullified the P A T. and the second time it was wide. Warriors6-N.C. -Oat the end of the period. Steve Mai's fumble recovery just before the end of the period put the Warriors again deep in N.C. territory, but the Warhawks held. On the first play of the second period Tommy Ludwig recovered another N.C. fumble on the 24. Then Brian Nuss, not to be denied, stepped off on a nice 24 yard jaunt into paydirt, and Billy Hurckes P A T. was good and the Warriors led 13 to 0 at the eleven minute mark of the second period. After the kickoff, the Warhawks started their only drive of the night marching 82 yds in 16 plays, with Charlie Fingers going over from the 2. The P.A T. was wide, and the Warriors led 13 to 6. Nuss returned the kickoff from his own 6 to the N.C. 24 for 80 yds. only to have the run nullified by a clipping penalty back on the Warrior 16. After an exchange of punts, the Warriors mustered a drive of their own, only to have time BREAKING A TACKLE, Don Rode scoots into the end zone for the first score to give the Wa.riors a 6-0 lead. Rode's TD came when he found no receivers open on a pass play. In the passing department, Rode connected 6 of 11 for 77 yards while rushing for 56.

RICHMOND, ILLINOIS 678-4442 run out as they reached the N.C. 20. The Warriors kicked to the N.C. 39. Two penalties set the Warhawks deep in their own territory, and then Steve Mai again recovered a fumble on the 12. Ludwig went to the 9, Nuss followed by going to the 1, and then Rode went in for the T.D. The P A T. was again wide and the Warriors led 19 to 6 with 9:28 left in the third period. Later in the period the Warriors took over on their own 28. With Nuss and Ludwig carrying the Warriors in four plays got to midfield. Nuss picked up 7 to the 43, and Rode picked up the first down on the 35. Rode hit Jeff Damiani for 13 yds and Nuss ran to the 14 as the period ended. Nuss, the workhorse of the Warrior offense, carried to the 4, and again to the 1. With second and 1, you guessed it Brian Nuss went in to the end zone for the final Warrior touchdown. Bill Hurckes again made the P.A.T. and the Warriors led 26 to 6 at 9:51 of the 4th period. At this time Coach Day went to his bench to give the reserves valuable game experience, and in the closing seconds Lundy raced 31 yds as the gun sounded for the Warhawk's second T.D. of the night. Lundy to Ferguson pass was good and the happy Warriors walked off with "a 26 to 14 win. The Warriors looked simply great at times considering the inexperience of the squad. True they had 9 penalties for 75 yds, but also their hard hitting forced the Warhawks to fumble, whereby the Warriors recovered 4 of them. To single out any one Warrior would be an injustice, although Brian Nuss should be men­ tioned. He gained 100 yds for the night, and any time a ball carrier can accomplish this feat, it should be worth men­ tioning. The coaching staff had the squad well prepared, the defense shut off the Warhawk running game, the offense moved the ball when necessary, and the Warrior fans were simply GREAT!
