m v Y PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 10, 1976 WITH AN IRON, Bobby Buss of the Warrior Golf team puts his second shot onto the third green at McHenry Country club during the Warrior match against Grant. Bobby's putt rimmed the cup as he missed the birdie and settled for par on the hole. Bobby's round of 37 led the Warriors to a 152 -184 w)n over Grant.

You can bet Coach Bill Day and his staff have been very active in correcting those mistakes that cost yardage. With the Tigers of Crystal Lake here this (Friday) night, the Warriors won't be able to give away yardage. Your Good NeigHBor Dennis Conway 3319 W.

All players saw action in the game as the Blacks won 20-6 over the Whites. (STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD) McHenry Blacks Defeat McHenry Whites In Soap Bowl 20-6 Warriors Open Season Tonight With Tigers The Blacks, coached by Dick Swantz (a disciple of Vince Lombardi) along with Don Seaton and Norb Wolter, defeated the Whites 20 to 6 in the Annual Soap Bowl Game held last Friday night. Midway in the fist half Mark Mayer's 32 yd. pass to Bill Hurckes put the Blacks ahead 6 to 0, as the PAT failed. A short time later Steve Mai gathered in Loren Klapperich's punt and twisted and turned for 50 yds. for another Black touch­ down, but a penalty nullified the nice run. The two teams battled back and forth throughout'the the rest of the half with no further scoring. Early in the second half the Whites began a march of their own, and Brian Miller went in from the six vard line. The PAT failed and the score was tied at six all. Late in the second half the Blacks got a break deep in White territory, and Jeff Hilrckes' 12 yd. pass to Brad Potts was good for the T.D. Hurckes ran for the PAT and the score was 14 to 6. With seconds remaining on the clock Hurckes again passed 9 yds. to Potts for the final score of the game. The coaching staff seemed well pleased with the per­ formance of the boys. Everyone in uniform saw ac­ tion sixty some odd players. Some kinks must be ironed out this week, but with no injuries reported the squad should be in shape for the opener tonight against Crystal Lake. By Dick Rabbitt Coach Bill Day will take his "Fighting Warriors" out to meet the Tigers of Crystal Lake in the opening game of the season tonight at McCracken Field. Kickoff time is 8:00 p.m. The Warriors with the largest squad in history have been working for the past three weeks in preparation for this game. The form chart says the Warriors will be a factor in the North Suburban race this fall. Once again it will be a ding dong fight to the finish, with the always dangerous Broncos again the pre season favorite. Libertyville. Lake Forest, Zion Benton along with the Warriors, and Crystal Lake should make it a dogfight down to the wire. The Warriors had a, good intersquad game last Friday night, and this week are correcting the mistakes of that scrimmage. Coach Day is holding off on his starting lineup until Friday, but with the size and depth of the squad you can expect a large number to be in the game Friday night. The Tigers will be out to improve their offensive game from last year. Although they finished in 5th place they scored 80 points all season. The Tigers will depend on the leadership of quarterback Jeff Hassen a 6 1" 160 lb. senior to guide them this season. Hassen's three favorite receivers return this year and they are; Kent Alcott at 58" 160 lbs.. Rick Forlenza at 5'7" a 160 lb. halfback and fullback Jeff Layer at 5'9" and 164. Coach Mack sees the con­ ference as a close finish Barrington, Zion Benton and Lake Forest are his three picks at the present. I like the attitude of this Warrior squad and am going to pick them to beat the Tigers Friday night. Tomorrow the Cats should take North Chicago, Barrington to defeat Mundelein, Zion to wallop Crown, and in a non-conference game Arlington to defeat Lake Forest. Getting all the players into the game could easily have accounted for so many flags. Walking from the school parking lot to the West gate, then back to the press box was all the exercise my legs could take. But, as I hit the top of the ladder, our dependable hoister, Gary Collins, was there to boost me through the trap door. Dick must have been busy with his broadcasting. We didn't have one word to say about our White Sox. (Maybe there wasn't much to say). It was good to see Earl Cooper on the job. His knowledge of how to take care of injuries is a comfort to all. Jim Larkin brought proof of his gardening ac­ complishments to our door and left this note: "Wouldn't want you to worry that you may have printed a falsehood on our behalf. Guess it's human nature that we keep the larger ones for ourselves." Uh-huh, the larger ones! Jim said he got the seed from A1 Vales. Just between us, Al, those aren't really tomatoes, are they? Maybe so. We never saw a red pumpkin Met Philip Thennes coming out of church Friday night and he asked about "I hose White Sox". If we had known what was going to happen to the Sox at Minnesota on Sunday, we would have asked Philip to go back in church and pray a little harder. It was good to see Marion Donnelly wheeling around last week. She has had a rough time with illness, but can still smile. Labor Day marks the end of straw hats for those of us who wear them. How come? Isn't Sept. 21 the last day of summer? Not too long ago when you walked through a big depart­ ment store a half dozen clerks would come up and ask, "May I help you?" The stock answer was, "We are just looking around." Now you look around and around trying to find a clerk. Maybe you like those big stores. The small, home town stores fit us better. It's like -- You take the high road. I'll take the low road. There was a blackout down Riverside Drive way Sunday night as the street lights went out. Next came darkness in KIlOU1 Bimbo's. Otto Larsen asked Eddie why he didn't pay his light bill. Eddie came up quick with, "If the City doesn't pay its bill, I don't have to either." As a topper offer to the holiday weekend, we joined a jolly crowd at the American Legion Home Monday night to help Harold "Pat" Owen celebrate his 80th birthday. There was the little nip to start it off, a fine meal to set us up, Happy Birthday singing and general good fellowship. With Millie Simon (she's a good one) at the piano and the one and only Shirley Smith to lead the crowd in old time songs, the spirit of the occasion reached a high note. Somebody was clever enough to sing "My Sweet Little Alice Blue Gown" for Mrs. Owen. And that's what she was wearing. "Pat" was in good form as he proudly introduced each member of his family. He also came across fine in his ex­ pression of happiness at having so many of his friends present to help him celebrate his 80th. Like Old Man River, the agless Bill Molnaire keeps rolling along. He sang a couple of songs that held the crowd at strict attention. Marie Sladeck and Rita Offerle asked us to tell Bill Veeck to bring back Satchel Paige. These two girls lived Louis when Veeck ownet. Browns so they well remeni the Satchel man and his greatness. Marian Hurricanes Open At Harvard Tonight By Dick RAbbitt Coach Tom Parker will trot out his 1976 edition of the Marian Hurricanes tonight at Harvard. The "Canes" have a squad of 40 with 14 returning lettermen. Of the 14 lettermen 8 of them at one time or another last season was a regular. Marian has a lot of size, tackles Jim Bennett at 229, and Mike Brendle at 230. Guards, Tim Cooney at 174, Jeff Baringer also at 174. George Thompson of McHenry at center comes in at 198. At the ends Jeff Aim of McHenry goes at 170, and Tom Doyle at 154. The running backs are the Canes strong point. Paul LeBlanc, Joe Peschke, transfers John Pappas and Larry Oeffling. Parker says his quarterback position is up for grabs, only because of the inexperience of juniors Jim Ringness, and Gary Berg. The Hurricanes figure to be a factor in the West Suburban Catholic race, but again the young coach says that I.C. erf Elmhurst and Benet Academy, along with the always powerful Marmion Military Academy are the teams to beat. LAKE REGION YMCA NEWS PROGRAMS FOR YOUTH A wide variety of gym programs for boys and girls in 2nd through 8th grades will be offered this fall starting Sep­ tember 13 at the Lake Region YMCA at 7315 S. Route 31, Crystal Lake. Registration for these classes can be done through September 25. FALL YMCA BOWLING The Lake Region YMCA is seeking additional participants for the Monday or Tuesday afternoon coed bowling in­ struction and leagues held from 4:30 to 5:45 p.m. at Metro Bowl in Crystal Lake. All 2-8 grade school students in the YMCA 14 community service area are eligible to participate in the program which will begin on September 13 and 14, 1976. , "Pat" told us he had more quips ready (one of them to be aimed in our direction), but the singing, talking and moving around threw him for a loss. That's OK, "Pat", save them for your 90th birthday. --And we'd like to join you. LOG BIRLING Why would anyone want to roll a log? Athletically speaking, "birling" develops a sense of balance and coordination that no other sport can quite duplicate. Together will balance and coordination, an accomplished log roller has good wind and exceptionally strong legs. All are by-products of a lot of time spent on the log. KAYAKING CLASSES Learn how to handle a kayak (eskimo canoe) this September and be shooting the rapids next spring. Lessons on use of kayaks is being offered in the Lake Region YMCA pool.

Register today because class size is limited to 12. TOTS HAVE FUN IN POOL The way they take to water, who would have thought it possible that 6 months through 6 year olds could have so much fun? Like ducks to water, tots of all ages are making their way to the Lake Region YMCA. New clashes for pre-schoolers will begin on September 13. Registrations are now being accepted for them.
