S On Me Sidelines - by Dick n»Vbtnk There is one smiling coach at McHenry ftigh these days. He is Marty Sobczak of the "Hassling Warriors". The popular coach was all smiles when I talked to him Monday afternoon at practice. In fact I interrupted the coach, showing a member of his squad a new hold to use for coming matches. It has beeru^everal years since the grapplers have put back to bafk North Suburban wins, and Marty had nothing but praise for the job that the Warriors accomplished over the weekend. Defeating Lake Forest, and the ever tough Libertyville Wildcats, has to put confidence in the Warriors for the coming attractions on their schedule. : Outside of a few sniffles on the squad, the injuries have healed, and the genial coach proclaimed that better days are ahead for his Warrior squad. The work of heavyweight Bob Larke, along 'with Jon Ortman, Jeff Hurckes, Tom Lundelius, Howie Useman, Mark Ziszik, Tim Oakley, Ed Mullen, Bob Beck, Don Freund, Doug Pfau and Mike Fink, has been most pleasing to Coach Sobczak and Warrior fans. , On the other hand Coach Ken Ludwig is wearing a frown these days. It has been a long time since his Warriors have dropped three games in a row. The ever popular coach has promised that things will change, and the Warriors will once again be a threat in the North Suburban. With two old rivals the Crystal Lake Tigers and the Woodstock Blue Streaks on tap this weekend, it would be a good time to make a charge for the Warriors. With Crown on tap next weekend, it will be a prelude for the 1977-78 season, when all three will be in the new conference. The I.H.S.A. has done it again. By a vote of the principals, the basketball season will commence a month later next year. It does not bother the Warriors, because conference rules state that a team may not officially begin practice until November 1st. But schools that do not play football, and some schools in the southern part of the state, that do commence on Oct. 1st, will have to wait until November 1st. Two schools that will be affected are the yearly powers Collinsville and Quincy. It will be interesting to see the reaction on the new rule, by not only the above named schools, but the smaller schools that do not play football. Oh well, the basketball season is too long anyway, but it will be fun to see the rl&ction of the coaches. A note to Peg Cadotte, I missed my first Warrior game at home in eleven years, last Saturday night, due to family commitments, so George is forgiven, but we both vow it will be a long time before something like that happens again during the season. With the Tigers and Streaks on the schedule this week, we are goihg down memory lane to the season of 1954-55. Barrington won the conference with a 13 and 1 record, and , the Tigers finished second with 11 and 3. The Streaks were fourth at 6 and 8, while the Warriors finished in fifth spot at 5 and 9. The Warriors handed Crystal Lake a 56 to 54 defeat at home, and beat Woodstock 53 to 44 at Woodstock. JANUARY, 1955 McHenry vs. Crystal Lake McHenry vs. Woodstock LRSCC Challenges The Ice The front wheel drive Fiat 128, driven by James Seaver of Harvard, fishtails as it crosses the first of three gates near the finish of the mile plus course at Twin Lake, Wi. Seaver finished The Lake Region Sports Car club (LRSCC) sponsored "Winter Sprints" which drew 84 cars to challenge the ice of Twin Lakes, last Sunday. The course, on the frozen lake, was in excess of one mile, with "S" curves near the start and finish. The layout included a long sweeping turn near the midway mark, with a gate before and after that turn. Pylons marked the entire course that had a cover^pf snow prior to the start, but the snow soon vanished leaving glazed ice tor tne drivers to navigate on. second in class "C" with a time of 1:33.90 which was the fastest time of the day among LRSCC members. (LRSCC PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD) Most drivers found the tirst ot their three runs the fastest as there was still some snow on the surface for traction. Trophies were awarded to the top finishers in each class, though all drivers profited as they gained experience in defensive driving on ice. LRSCC members that cap­ tured first place trophies were Paul Musschoot, class A-l in a Corvette, and Don Smith, class A-3 in a BMW. Other members of Lake Region that finished well were James Seaver as he completed the course in a time of 1:33.90 driving a Fiat 128 in class "C". Seaver's tim^ was fastest of the day among LRSCC entrants. Following Seaver in class "C" were Don Smith in a Saab 99LE, Mike Fernandez in a Saab99LE, Rger Foin in a Saab 99LE and Bill Schneider in a Fiat 128. Following Smith in class "A- 3" were Dick Sanborn in a Datsun y^-Wayne Gaylord in a TR Spitiire and Tom Wingate in a Volvo 144. In class "A-2", Scott"Johnson captured an overall 3rd with his Datsun 240Z. The ladies class drew many entrants and Anita Moonan capture a trophy behind the wheel of a Datzun 240Z, followed by Mary Fernandez in a Saab 99LE, Marie Gawlik Smith in a BMW and Susan Hunt in a Datsun 2402. The sports car club meets at the McHenry American Legion on Ringwood road on the third Thursday of each month. The meetings begin at 8:30 p.m., and are highlighted with a racing film.

So here goes. These rules are from the Department of Conservation. 1. Be a good sportsman. Recognize that people judge all snowmobile owners by your actions. Use your influence with other snowmobile owners to promote sportsman-like conduct. 2. Do not litter. 3. Do not damage living trees, shrubs or natural features. 4. Respect other people's property and rights. They are your friends. 5. Lend a helping hand to someone in distress. 6. Make yourself available to assist law enforcement and government agencies. 7. Do not interfere or harass hikers, skiers, ice fisherman or other winter sportsmen Respect their rights to enjoy their recreational pursuits. 8. Know and obey all state law regulating the use of snowmobiles. 9. Do not harass wildlife or domestic animals. 10. Join or help form a snowmobile club. These are the rules: 1. Youthful Operators: It is unlawful for any person without a valid motor vehicle driver's license to operate a snowmobile on a highway as provided in Section 11.J. No person under 10 years of age may operate a snowmobile. Persons at least 10 and less than 12 years of age may operate a snowmobile only if they are accompanied by a parent or guardian who must be at least 18 years of age. And the person or guardian is in possession of a certificate issued by the Department authorizing the holder to operate a snowmobile. Violation of this Section done with the knowledge of a parent or guardian shall be deemed a violation by the parent or guardian and punishable under Section 6 of Article XI of this Act. 2. Snowmobiles that are used on a lake or on properties other than the owners should be registered and issued a Cer­ tificate of Number.

TO 5 P.M. numbers should be affixed to the cowling on both sides of the snowmobile. 3. Whenever a snowmobile is involved in a collision or ac­ cident causing injury or death to persons or property damage over $100 a report must be made to the Department. ^Forms may be obtained from Illinois Conservation Of­ ficer or Department. 4. Snowmobile equipment: at least one head-lamp to exhibit a white light of at least 500 feet ahead during hours of darkness, at least one red tail light, a good brake system in good mechanical condition, reflective materials on both sides of the cowling and adequate sound suppression. One tipe that was mentioned in the Snowmobilers handbook that pertains to ice was: Never yeild to temptation of testing ice with your snowmobile, improper weight distribution of machine and driver could make you a statistic. No one has ever guaranteed ice of any thickness will support a snowmobile anywhere. So be careful. All these tips and facts are found in the Illinois Digest Snowmobile Safety Handbook that is put out by the State of Illinois, issued by the Depart­ ment of Conservation Division of Law Enforcement, Special Services. If you own a snowmobile or are interested in them call and have the Department send you a copy. Words Of Wisdom It is hard to believe that America was found­ ed to avoid taxation. -Tribune, Chicago. Perfect The perfect example of minority rule is 1^>aby in the house. -Dispatch, Covington. ,.0*' Double Check Tax Return To Prevent Errors Like cheese OF a fine wine, a tax , return should be "cultivated" before it is mailed to the Internal Revenue Ser­ vice. Errors can slow processing and delay any refund due. The taxpayer who carefully checks the return, then doublechecks it, is more likely to spot any careless errors. Mistakes in arithmetic, use of the wrong column in the tax table or schedule, failure to sign the return or attach all the necessary documents are some of the more common errors that slow processing. Use of the coded envelope and peel-off label, provided in the tax forms package mailed to the taxpayer at the end of the year, also' minimizes errors, the IRS said. Notice Sports Pictures Since previous notices (starting last fall) have not been noted, this will be run from time to time. Being unable to use the many group pictures sent in, a decision was made to discontinue all league groups except cham­ pionship teams. Pictures taken by our staff photographers of athletes on the high school level will be selected as to their importance. Individual pictures of various sports will be appraised as to their newsworthy value and available space. It was a flood of group pictures last year that made this decision by the management necessary.
