Sidelines # ky Dick KafeWtt Congratulations are in order to Coach Ken Ludwig and his "Fighting Warriors" for their win over Crystal Lake last Friday night. It marked the second year in a row that the Warriors have won at least ao games. Winning twenty games for a basketball team, is like the twenty game winner by a major league pitcher. It marks the pinnacle of success, and the Warriors join only 12 other teams in Class AA achieving that mark. It is an achievement that not only the coaches and players can boast about, but for the wonderful Warrior fans that supported the team throughout the year. In many a visiting gym this year the Warrior fans outnumbered the home fans, and with1 support like that, how could the Warriors let thier fans down? Regional play starts Tuesday with the Warriors playing Hononegah of Rockton in the first game at 7:30. On Wednesday Woodstock will pair off against Belvidere. Hononegah is a high scoring team, but their defense . is something to be desired. Recently they scored over 80 points in a game and lost. They are a big club, but the caliber of competition will tell and I think the Warriors will advance to the finals next Friday night. H»e "Water Warriors" of Coach Mike Shanahan closed out their season in the District meet last Saturday at Arlington Heights. Although not qualifying any one for the State Finals, the Warriors did an excellent job considering the competition from the Suburban schools that have a year around program. Likewise the "Rassling Warriors" are finished for the season. Matt Schuster finished fourth, and Brian Nuss had a .tough division to compete in at the Sectional meet in Barrington. With all the underclassmen coming back, we look for a great improvement in the season next year. Injuries and the flu bug didn't help Coach Marty Sobczak and his squad this year. I'm sure most of you sports fans have been reading the Chicago papers in regards to the pressure to win brought upon the high school basketball coaches. One article revealed the problems of Joe Gibbins former coach of Marian Central, who was fired last year because he didn't win enough games. This was the same Joe Gibbons who two years earlier had taken Kankakee Eastridge to the Super Sectional with a 25 and 4 record. Joe who is now in Law School has taken his case to court, claiming as a tenure teacher he could not be fired outright as a coach. In talking to friends in the Kankakee area, they tell me Joe will win the case and a handsome settlement, unless the case is settled out of court. It will be a test case in Illinois, and will be heard within the next several weeks. s. In another article on the same subject John Swenson of Crystal Lake told why he resigned last December, and - then reconsidered. The pressure brought upon him by fans, students, and even self pressure because the team was not playing up to expectations led him to this decision. That John reconsidered is a plus factor, not only for Crystal Lake but to all basketball fans. John is a gentlemen, and an asset to any athletic program on the high school level. Whether they are right or wrong is really of no concern. The question that comes up is,should there be pressure in high school athletics? Are athletics really that important that an individual can lose his job, just because a group of seventeen and eighteen year old lads won't win a game. If that is the case, then I think we had better take a look at our values, remember they are not trying to fill stadiums or fieldhouses, no scholarships are given, football, basketball or any other sport acitivity is a game. Let's keep it fun and let everyone enjoy it. With Regional Tournament time approaching, I though most of you fans would like to recall probably the greatest game ever played in the Elgin Regional. If it wasn't the best game, then games played previous to this game don't count. The McHenry vs*Marian Central game played on March l, 1971 at Elgin Larkin. One can still see Marian's Randy Jackson shooting a basket while laying prone on the floor. The triple overtime game had fans in the gym talking to themselves, and the game itself was talked about for weeks not only in McHenry, but all over Northern Illinois. I'm sure you all will agree with me, • those of you who were there, that it indeed was just a great basketball game played between two fine high school teams. It was indeed high school basketball at its best. MCHENRY MARIAN CENTRAL MARCH 2,1971 ELGIN REGIONAL 16 MCHENRY (75) FG FT PF TP Harbecke 7 4 3 18 Hosier 8 1 4 17 Gehrke 4 1 1 9 R. Miller 4 2 4 10 J.

Sales of frozen foods and microwave ovens that can pro­ duce a meal in minutes have zoomed. The trend also is re­ flected in the popularity of polyester knit clothing, a time saver if properly maintained by home laundering. Here are some washing tips: -- Frequent laundering is recommended because poly­ esters tend to readily absorb body oils and perspiration todors. Light loads are advis­ able for better results. -- Turn pants inside out to prevent abrasion of creases. Use the warm water washer setting to avert shrinkage. To the recommended amount of soap or detergent add one cup of a bleach substitue like Bora teem Plus. Htis borax- based product leaves clothing fresh, colon bright and is an excellent stain remover. A cold water rinse will pre­ vent wrinkling. Use the warm dryer setting. Remove and place garments on hangers immediately after the cycle is completed. Avoid ironing. It flattens the fibers and causes unattractive shine. (For a free copy of the in­ formative booklet "Ideas to Brighten Your Laundry" write to U.S. BORAX, Consumer Affairs Department NW, P.O.

At that time, young parents could vividly remember the horrors of children crippled for life by this dreaded disease...of polio victims doomed to spend the rest of their lives confined in iron lungs...of the terror that gripped the hearts of families when one child in the neigh­ borhood contracted polio. Because of these vivid memories, parents flocked to physicians' offices, local health departments and to the "Polio Sunday" programs, to make certain their children would never have to suffer the tragedy of polio. But all that was nearly twenty years ago. Today's young parents...those who are just beginning their families...are too young to remember the horror and the terror of polio epidemics. They do not fully understand the importance of having their children immunized against this disease. As a result, polio immunization rates have reached an alarmingly low level, as each year, fewer and fewer children receive polio vaccine. The vaccine, administered to millions of children in the early 1960's, has been so effective, that most of today's five-year- olds have never even heard of polio. While it sounds like an ideal situation...young parents who do not remember polio, and small children who have never heard of it...public health of­ ficials have become seriously alarmed. As the number of unprotected children increases, so do the chances of polio epidemics. The vaccine made polio a "forgotten" disease...but, unless more children receive the vaccine, polio will not remain forgotten. Once again, children will experience the devastating effects of this disease...parents will know the fear that comes with learning that a playmate of their child has contracted polio. Nostalgia for the "good old days" is all around us today...in music, in art, clothing styles, home furnishings, even television commercials. But there are some things about the "good old days" "that are best forgotten. Polio is certainly one of those. If you are the parent of a small child...if you have responsibility for a child...or if there is a child you love...make sure that little girl or boy is fully protected against polio. Let her or him grow up without any first-hand knowledge of the horrors of polio epidemics. Polio immunizations can be obtained from your physician or from your local health department. Contact one or the other today about protecting the child in your life. If you are unable to see a private physician, and you live in an area that has no local health { department, contact the Illinois Department of Public Health, Immunization Program, 535 West Jefferson Street, Springfield, Illinois 62761. At this moment, polio is a "forgotten" disease. It's up to you to keep it that way. Colleges from more than 20 states. Counselors from the city and suburbs.
