i £ £: More congratulations are in irder for Warrior athletic teams. What a pleasure it hat been to write about the various teams this past schod year. Wally Scott's cinder men auccessfully defended their Woodstock Relays title last Saturday as they easily outclassed the other five teams. Big "Brett" Decker the Warrior shot putter brake die Relay record with a toss over 52'. Someday the big fellow is going to get mad and toss the 12 lb. ball out of sight. It would be a good time tonight at the North Suburban Conference meet to be held at McCracken Field. The pole vault gets under way at 4:00 p.m. and the rest of the field events will start at 4:30. Prelims in the running events get under way at 5:00 with the finals slated to start around 6:15 p.m. Try to get out and see a real good high school conference track meet Ken Swanson's baseball Warriors added another trophy to the case at West Gimpus on Monday as they defeated the Woodstock Blue Streaks by the score of 8 to 1. With Lee Steinsdorfer in control the whole game, the Warriors won in easy fashion. They banged out 14 hits in the win, and advance to the Elgin Regional for the second year in a row. The Warriorshave come on strong in the past several weeks winning six in a row. After a mid season slump, it looks as if the team has put it all together and that could mean trouble for future opponents. They are getting good pitching, adequate defense, and plenty of hits, which has resulted in winning games over the past weeks. Tony Christy, All Conference second baseman last season, looks like a repeat from the way he has played this season. The little senior made some outstanding defensive plays during the district tournament, and he swings a wicked bat from his leadoff position. Tommy Ludwig has made some tape measure clouts, a real hustler in my book and the team leader is catcher "Jod" Wakitsch, who really picks them up and lays them down going to first base to back up a play. It has indeed been a team effort. The big guy "Coach Swanson" has kept thtm loose as a goose, and the results are paying off. The attitude is good, and as a result the team is winning thdr share of games. I want to thank the team for their fine effort in winning the district title, as a result, yours truly enters the McHenry High School Hall of Fame for coaeking first base during the tournament. As someone mentioned after the game what a way to get in the Hall <f Fame, but I'm proud to be a part of a great athletic program that we have at McHenry High School. Some nore apologies are again in order. Last week we forgot to mention that Dan Schaeffer was a part of the sophomore relay team that won in the McHenry Relays. It was a pure oversight Dan, and we are indeed sorry that we neglected to mention your name. To Coach Chuck Cuda and his golf team, we forgot that you won the District last fall, and added a trophy to the many that has been received this past year at McHenry High. The only question I have is when is Coach Cuda going tolet a lefty try out for the golf team. We are not all that bad. Someyoung ladies we have failed to mention for doing a good job this spring are the McHenry High bat girls. Meg Human and Kelley Staley, who are seen climbing the fence and fighting off "Sib" Whiting's dog, along with Deb Carro and Karen Day. The faithful scorekeeper Patti Althoff who manages to keep die hits and errors in their proper place, and won't let the team members talk her into hits, when they are errors. These young ladies are a vital part in the baseball program, and their work is well appreciated by the coaching staff. Coach Gary Gray's netters will play in the North Suburban meet tomorrow at Libertyville. The competition will be tough, but here is wishing from all Warrior fans the best cf luck to a fine group of tennis players. Let's knock off sane of the big guns from Lake Forest, Libertyville, Barrington and CryBtal Lake. PACK 7 - PLALNDEALER-FRIDAY. MAY 14. IfW MINI 11" SOTTBALL SCMtDUll im 1.

(STAFF PHOTO-BARB GILPIN) Everyone's In The Running! Warming up to the subject of outdoor sports should be just that -- a warming up per­ iod of gradually increased activity during which you ac­ custom unused or sluggish muscles to ever-increased activity. One of the best ways to start is with a combination of walking, the dogtrot, jogging and skipping rope. You don't have to wait for warm weather because this warm-up plan can be done inside, around a gym or basketball court or even in the living room. When the weather does turn nice you'll find you're ready to run, outdoors! Who's in the running? Prob- ibly everyone would like to be if they had a plan. The teen­ agers, male and female, are dreaming about track and baseball or volleyball. You'd like to play that first game of tennis without puffing and huffing. And the man of the house could use a little ex­ ercise to unkink tense muscles and streamline his waist. The plan is designed to get those legs moving and keep them moving. Speed is not the objective, but a steady in­ crease in activity is the result Take 5 minutes the first day, then increase the time set aside for warm-up by 2 minutes a day for 6 consecutive days. Youll be warming up your muscles for 15 minutes by the 6th day. Make up your own com­ binations of walk, dogtrot, jog and jump. Do it to music if you like, or do it to your favorite TV or radio show. For example, walk and dogtrot, without stopping, for one minute, rest for a count of 15, jump rope 25 times. Rest. Repeat and then walk around until the 5 minutes are up. Al­ ways start slowly, with the walk and dogtrot, increase your rope skipping daily, and cool down with a walk- around. Toward the end of the week you'll speed up from a dogtrot to a jog, but always let your own body strength guide you. Most people prefer to ex­ ercise at the start of the day. Any athlete will tell you that breakfast is not a meal to be skipped even if your warm-up period runs as long as 60 min­ utes. If time runs short or you're one who likes a light breakfast, try Carnation in­ stant breakfast. It's the of­ ficial instant breakfast of the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal. Mixed with whole milk it provides as much nutri­ tion as a tomato juice, bacon- and-egg meal. This satisfying drink supplies enough energy to run on for quite a while and makes an excellent "Spring Training" meal for everyone who's in the running. rWS&itoi i "Service Tip of the Week" Good shock absorbers are as important to your safety as good brakes. They do much more than offer a smooth ride. They actially stabilize your car while turning corners, passing on winding highways, braking etc. If you notice any unnecessary swaying during any of the maneuvers mentioned above,don't delay. Visit your local mechanic soon and buy some "peace of mind."
