V PAGE 8 - PLA1NDKALKK - WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 14, I»79 Sports Ink by Randy Swikle The use of psychology in sports is certainly nothing new. It is practiced on every level of sports, and every coach and player has his own bag of tricks which is employed to get an opponent to think about something which will distract him from top performance. It gets to be a question of ethics as to how far one goes in attempting to "psych out" an athlete. Certainly some methods are quite legitimate and acceptable. Calling time out between free throws is a strategy often used to add pressure to an opponent at the bonus line. Elaborate pre-game introductions often stir the adrenalin of the home team and, at the same time, suggest an inferiority among members of the visiting team. Some practices more questionalbe include the use of noisemakers during free throws and the bias of some host school announcers over the public address system. Some of the announcers are not content to simply relay the events of the game to the sport fans, but rather use the public address system as a vehicle to cheer the home team to victory. Most ho6t school announcers tend to be quite subtle in using the microphone to the advantage of the home team. It's only when some announcers go to extremes in their voice inflections and word selection that the practice becomes annoying. & There is no doubt that there is a definite home court psychological advantage. The clearest evidence is an examination of the win-loss records of teams at home and on the road. At Johnsburg High School, an enthsiastic group of students nestled high in the bleachers has demonstrated a positive approach to "psyching out" opponents. This group of "Rowdies" generates a spirit that becomes contagious throughout the entire Johnsburg cheering section. Not only are the students quite vocal, they are very imaginative. In Saturday's contest agaisnt the South Beloit SoBo Indians, a number of students wore cowboy outfits (to scalp the Indians). During the pre-game introduction of the SoBo team, the "Rowdies" lifted newspapers to suggest their lack of concern. It's always difficult to measure the influence a crowd has on a player's performance, but the Johnsburg "Rowdies" certainly haven't done anything to impair their team's performance. Psychology will always be an important factor in determining success in sports. It's the stuff momentum is made of.

Four Skyhawks scored in double figures, as Johnsburg had little trouble defeating the SoBos 70-58. The win allowed Johnsburg to gain ground on conference leader Marengo, which had lost Friday night. The Skyhawks are currently in second place in the Shark conference at 6-2, while Marengo remains in first with an 8-2 record. The two teams meet at Johnsburg next Tuesday. STAFF PHOTO-JOE DEHN Village Considers Preliminary Plat On Kent Property Tuesday, Feb. 6, was the regular monthly meeting of the village of Sunnyside. This was the first meeting to be held in the Johnsburg junior high. Meetings will be held at the junior high until further notice. During January the meetings were not held due to lack of a quorum and weather con­ ditions. Russ Taylor, representing Michael Ives & company, presented to the board a preliminary plat for the Kent property behind the Mitchell farm on Wilmot road. This will no doubt be the next area to be annexed into the village of Sunnyside, our ever growing village. With the coming of spring we will see many new homes going up as all the new subdivisions resume building. Spring flowers will not be the only thing blossoming in Sunnyside. Despite all the snow and cold, men from the Ives company can be seen doing some preliminary work in the area. The board of trustees voted that the village will stay with the state deadline in regard to vehicle stickers. Cars must have state license plates displayed for 1979 by Feb. 28, and that is the deadline for displaying your village vehicle sticker. Failure to comply will result in tickets and a fine, after this date. If the state extends their deadline the village will do likewise.

Terry Bradshaw is finally getting the credit he deserved-after Super Bowl 13. He hasn't changed all that much, though he has improved. An overdone rap, he was labeled with goofs, which media people reminded all about too long. All 'quarter­ backs make goofs, even the best. Bradshaw's Bowl passing record might stand for some time-four TD passes is a new record,, plus his 300-yard plus game. Actually Franco Harris was not all that good--he's slowed quite a bit. On his clincher touchdown run in the 4th, he had a big hoie. Pitts­ burgh must find a new running back soon; Bradshaw can't do it all with his passing, always. Dallas didn't lose by a lot. Dallas' defense' against the run was great. The sportsman­ like attitude of Tom Landry and Roger Staubach, and others, in losing, was a model. Curt Gaudy made too much over Jackie Smith's missed pass. On the wet grass (it had rained earlier) his feet were slipping out from under him as he tried to catch the pass. Staubach says he threw it bad­ ly. It was catchable, however, but that one play didn't decide the game any more than several other fumbles and dropped balls. Tony Dorsett was the game's best runner, but he tripped Staubach once on a key down, stood around several times in the backfield, missing blocking opportunities, etc. (He didn't fumble for a change.) In short, this wasn't his year. He managed to play the whole game without get­ ting one solid shot from the defense. WHO KNOWS? 1. Who is the Secretary of Agriculture? 2.
