PAGE I - PLAINDEALER-FKIDAY, JANUARY 1, lt7« Warriors Set tourney Scoring Record In 104-48 Win At Kankakee <s By Dick Rabbitt The McHenry Warriors broke a seventeen-year-old scoring record when they defeated Hinsdalf? South 104 to 48 in the opening round of the Kankakee Holiday Tournament. The previous high for a tournament game was 91 set by Waukegan back in 1958. The Warriors of Coach Ken Ludwig wasted no time when they jumped out to a com­ manding 10 to 0 lead after the first two minutes of play. Reilly and Koerber each had two buckets along with Tommy Ludwig to put the Warriors off and running in their Jtoumey opener. With a pressure defense, excellent shooting, and pin point passing the Warriors raced to a 29 to 5 first quarter advantage. With thirty seconds remaining in the period the Warriors brought the entire gym to their feet. Steve Koerber took a rebound, whipped an outside pass to Tom Ludwig, who in turn pinpointed a pass to Terry, Reilly breaking for the basket, and * Reilly's layup was good. The amazing thing, was the ball didn't touch the floor from one basket to the other basket. Even the Hin­ sdale South coach shook his foead on that onfe; ' «. By this time Coach Ludwig had cleared his bench, but that didn't stop the Warrior attack as they continued to play ex­ cellent basketball. However, the Warriors with their aggressive defense began to foul, and the Hinsdale team was able to capitalize on their free throws. The Warriors walked off at intermission with a 55 to 22 lead. In the third period it seemed the Warriors had a letdown, however they outscored South 19 to 6. Neither team scored for the first two minutes of the period, until the "Radar" got on target and started the ball rolling. With Rode, Koerber, Ludwig, along with Doug Hertel scoring, the Warriors increased their lead to 74 to 48 jgoing into the final period. Brian Miller's basket and a few seconds later Koerber's bucket gave the Warriors a 50 point lead, and then George Cadotte sat back and relaxed. In reality George was hoping that the Warriors would shut them out. A little bit of ex­ planation by Warrior fans to George convinced him that it would have been impossible for a shutout. Shuffling in men at almost every opportunity Coach Ludwig trying not to pour in on the hapless Hinsdale South team, couldn't hold his Warriors back, and at 2:45 Koerber's basket gave them a new record with a 92 to 42 lead. In the last 45 seconds Brett Decker had three field goals to give the Warriors th^l04 points an amazing new scoring record (or one team in a tournament game. The Warriors looked sharp. Their aggressive defense once again gave them the ball time after time. Their pinpoint passing at times was perfect. Their team play was something to behold. No selfish person was on the floor this fine afternoon. Whoever was open received the pass, at times a shot would have been the thing to do, but you can't condemn teamwork, and from all reports at Kankakee, the ^Warriors established themselves the team to beat for the title. In talking to Coach Ludwig after the game he said "Things went our way this afternoon' . He also added "I hope the boys continue their fine play throughout the rest of the tourney". All I can add is that the Warriors were a complete team at Kankakee, if they can continue the way they did this afternoon, then my wishes for Coach Ludwig will become a reality in March.

(STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD) \ EARL WALSH So I Hear leave would mildly. be putting it Twenty three years ago Marie Yegge came to work in the Plaindealer office on Green recently occupied by the Clarence Niesen flooring company. That was not only a lucky day for the organization. It was a great boost for the sports department. Crtfii Marie grew up with a family of boys, the Woodstock Sullivans, and learned about sports all the way. Those boys must have been Cub fans. How else could their _SP0RTS EDITOR I ' little sister have developed | such leanings? A& proof reader deluxe, Marie was depended on to catch errors in spelling, con­ struction and fact. Many a time she caught some little misinformation in our sports reports. We thanked the Lord 7- and Marie ~ for cat­ ching the error. Last Friday the whole gang gathered 'round for a farewell luncheon. Marie is retiring this week. To say we are sorry to see her Come to think about it, it took only about six of us to put out a paper 23 years ago. Now it takes close to 40. We are not saying "Good­ bye" to Marie. Just - "We'll be seeing you around." / -- • . It is about time for us to take our annual blast at basketball rule makers on the 5-foul rule. No other sport has such a rule. And get a couple of whistle tootin' officials on the floor and it cramps the style of an aggressive player. Call the fouls if must be, but don't put a player out for anything but a "dirty" foul. Technical fouls have to be. The penalty of giving the other team free throws should take care of enough. In a good, close game it is the fans' right to see them go down to the wire with full strength on both teams. Anyhow, many of modern fouls are nothing more than a slap on the wrist. Remember when church pews had clips on theback for a fellow to hang his hat? Guess the clips went the way of the hats. This country and especially us older ones are in a^am. With the introduction of that dizzy metric system, we need HELP- We need a new metric yard­ stick. Here is a chance for a smart guy like you to invent one. Or shall we go in the store and ask for a meter of yard goods? What will happen to those patterns that give "yards" needed? What will you do with your car speedometer? Or must WP all get computers? HELP You've heard this greeting before. Once more will do you good. -v Happy Holidays. Grandma Dear Grandma: Nice to hear from ytray That metric system really is a worry. Many of us will never make it unless they set^ip a special school. Most of us are mixed up enough now. But, the big brains have to make changes. The big argument is that other countries use the metric system. Why not let them change to our system? They have different money systems, but seem to have no trouble accepting the American dollar. Thanks for the greetirig and rest assured that we will come out with a yardstick for you. We'll name it "METRIC MESS STICK." So long, Grandma "Smart Guy" DECKER LAYS IT IN - Brett makes it look easy as he makes this 2 pointer in the Warrior 104-48 win over Hinsdale South at Kankakee Monday.

Like corn, it was a native American product of Indian cultivat­ ion and was in great dem­ and in England and Europe. John Rolfe, who married the Indian princess Pocoh- ontas, is creditedwith st­ arting the commercial ex­ ploitation of tobacco in 1612. In July 31, 1619, the first General Assembly of Vir­ ginia met at Jamestown and the first law passed made tobacco the official cur­ rency of the colony, fixing the pripe of tobacco at shillings for the beste and for the second sorte 18 pence the poun- de". continued to function as a currency in Virginia, Maryland and the Carolines until well into the 1700's but gradually it was replaced by a more soph­ isticated, convenient and true form of money...tob­ acco notes. These notes, legalized in Virginia in 1727, represented a given quantity and quality of tob­ acco deposited in a reg­ ional warehouse. The notes could then be exchanged rather than the commodity itself and as such became a trustworthy and useful kind of money for several decades in many of the col­ onies. As late as 1776, the six shilling paper currency of the State of New Jersey carried a large tfesign of a tobacco leaf on its' face.
