(STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD) EARL WALSH So I Hear ^ 'Twas Happy Birthday and a * happy crowd that packed the K. * of C. hall Sufiday afternoon to ; surprise "Petie" Schaefer on * his 80th birthday. Humorous gifts abounded, but a beautiful plaque from children, grandchildren and great grandchildren brought a few moist eyes. The family has thinned out, but Pete's sister, Mrs. John Jurack, was present and happy as could be . It was one of the nicest parties the Walshes have been privileged to attend. "Petie" made many friends in his years as a West Sifde businessman. Old and young are counted as his friends. - 1 The honored guest was one busy fellow shaking hands with the men and kissing the girls.

We accepted with pride. Now, we know! Ken Diedrich, who lives around the corner from us, has all our sparrows. He has some special formula for his feathered friends, but won't tell us what it is. Told him we would try to lure some of Teresa Conway's cardinals to our back forty. He can keep the sparrows. A1 Blake is another bird loser. Thinks he put the food out too late in the season and his feathered friends showed their disgust and left. They didn't even chirp good-bye. Same old story. What have you done for me lately? A John Looze made some scathing remarks about our old hat. So -- why didn't he say something about our very best hat we wore when we visited his office last week? area. Another big change has hit Ringwood. Old Timer Mrs. Louis Hawley, a mighty fine lady, passed away last week. The world loves a winner. It was a large crowd that turned out to see the Warriors play the Mundelein basketball team here Friday night. It was a dazzling display of passing, team play and shooting that the Warriors showed us in the first half when they rolled up a lead. Coajch Ludwig obviously wasn't interested in 100 points as he substituted early in the game and still won going away, 88 to 56. Trying to pass through a zone defense left-Amething to be desired (even with regulars) in the second half. Passing off wasn't as evident as in the first half, but maybe this could be excused the way the game was going. In Boyle and Withrow, Mundelein had a couple of boys who can hit the net. Both are Juniors. In fact, Coach Starkey has a young team that may make big w/tves in another year. This wasn't one of those close games that makes your ticker pump too fast, but it did send you away thinking that Coach Ludwig has a team that is for real. A great ol^. warrior, Charlie Lasch, finally-left this earth at the ripe old age of 91 years. Had a lot of fun in our many visits with Charlie. He was a rugged man and played football at the Unviersity of Chicago in the days of Alonzo Stagg. It has to happen, but the loss of an old friend is never easy.

Had no idea our mention of the birds would stir up so much comment. You hit the nail right on the head. This column has always contended that Cub fans are for the birds.

Another showed up Marian game night. rousing crowd for the Warrior here Saturday Varsity Wrestlers Lose, J.V, And Sophs Victorious In Mundelein Matches In the first quarter the Marian boys were hotter than a dime store pistol while the Warriors couldn't seem to get un thawed. The Warriors led by only two points at the half, then finally put it together for a 75-59 victory. Heard from one fan after the game that we boost the Warriors in this column, but should observe that they are not consistent. They have been consistent & enough to win 13 games in a row. However, it is recognized that the team lacks the "killer" instinct to put the opposition away when they have 'em on the run. Have been told the coaches are working on that angle. Right now we have a winner, a team with good reserve strength. Hottin' and hollerin' when the opposition is shooting a free throw has -been an unwritten No-No iyfcasketball since the game w£s invented. Soinetimes some loyal ^boosters get carried away. * ANOTHER STEAL for Terry Re«y as (21) Kevin Elfertng and (M) Paul Heirtag discover tktj m ( longer own the ball.

The Warriors were winning 15 to 8 when disaster struck the Warrior camp. Both Denny Useman and Brian Nuss were injured in their matches and had to default. From that time on the Warrior fortunes went downhill and they couldn't recover for the evening. Coach Sobczak said after the match "It was our best wrestling of the year", and also remarked "I am quite pleased with the way our boys performed". The coach would not remark on the questionable call that forced Brian Nuss to retire for the evening. The J.V. sqad ran their record to 5 and 2 with a 51 to 21 win over the Mundelein J.V. Becker, DiBlasi, Rowe and Rice all had pins for the Warriors, while Jerry Hut­ chinson and Mike Fink both won by forfeits. The sophs won by one point on the pin of heavyweight Bob Larkey. The frosh lost a tough decision to the Mundelein freshman by the score of 31 to 28. Winners for the frosh were: Jim Leisten, Tim Frantz, junior Rivera, Ed Bruser and Roger Brand. Roger Emery and Steve Lingeman both tied their matches. VARSITY McHenry 19 - Mundelin 29. 98 lbs., Ortman, McH. dec. Nally, M. 105 lbs., Amsler, M. dec. Peterson, McH. 112 lbs., Schuster, McH. dec.

EA^ER J SECTION 1 - PAGE 6 - PLAINDEAEER-WEDNE8DAY, JANUARY 14, lf76 Warriors Rout Mundelein 88 By Dick Rabbitt Putting, on a display of near perfect basketball the McHenry high Warriors blasted the Mundelein Mustangs Friday night 88 to 56. Playing before a huge crowd, the Warriors didn't let their followers down, playing a brand of ball that left the fans talking to themselves. Koerber got the Warrior machine under way with 6:45 remaining in the period, and at the 3:00 mark they led 14 to 2. Mundelein fought back but could come no closer than six at the 1:00 mark, and the Warriors pulled away to a 22 to 12 first period lead. With Reilly, Decker, Lund and Koerber all hitting the hoop the Warriors started to gradually pull away. Midway in the period the play of the night developed. On the patterned Warrior fast break, Reilly and Decker exchanged passes in the back court, and continuing at full speed, Reilly's behind the back pass back to Decker, who took it without breaking stride for the layup, brought the fans to their feet. As one fan mentioned after the game, he would have liked to have seen the instant replay of that pass. That play seemed to take whatever spark the Mustangs had out of them, and the Warriors went on to take a 46 to 29 intermission lead. Playing a pressure defense that kept the Mustangs bottled up in their own end of the court the Warriors continued the onslaught with everyone in the lineup scoring, led at the end of the third quarter 66 to 43. MERCIFUL COACH Shortly after the final period began, Coach Ludwig took mercy on the hapless Mustangs and went to his bench. The reserves, some playing for the first time this year, didn't let the coach down as they con­ tinued to pour in the points, and it should be noted that Randy Blankenhorn, Billy Meyers, Joe Knaack, and Billy Hurckes more than held their own with the opposition and the Warriors won going away 88 to 56. Not to say the least Coach Ludwig was quite pleased with the performance of his Warriors. The only few tur­ novers that occurred were due to traveling. In anxiety to get the ball in the hoop, the Warriors were • just a little anxious a few times. One of the largest crowds in years was on hand. The upper balcony was opened and had quite a few people in at­ tendance. I'm sure the size of the crowd has a lot to do with the type of ball the Warriors played. The Warriors shot well, they rebounded well, they passed well, and their defense held the Mustangs at bay throughout the evening. They played the game the way it should beptayedfand I look for the crowds to get bigger as the season progresses along the way.
