PAGE 6 - PLAINDEALEK • * KU>.\ i, SEPTEMBER 4.1961 .v • 4-. gfePSI ' -&N 3r • / < • ? P* * t The Club tournament started last Saturday in spite of the August monsoons. The back nine had a lot of unexpected water hazards and everyone finished soaking wet. Sunday was a better day and a red letter one for Laura Schmidt who realized every golfers dream when she got a hole in one on number 10 using an eight iron. There were two pars reported, Mickey Holland on number eight and Dorie Tonyan on number seven. Esta Pitts surprised herself by chipping into the hole on number four. I don't know who was more sur prised on number three when Jan Rades hit a tree and a squirrel flew out, Jan or the squirrel. Our genial pro, Curt McCormick, ran a blind bogey with prizes from the pro shop and the winners were Marilyn Ehlen, June Weber, Lou LaBay, Carman Mazzula, Sandy Donovan, Laurie Freund, Libby Johnson, Mickey Holland, and Kathy Schaefer. The winners of the tour nament will be decided after play on Sunday, Sept. 6. The following officers were elected to serve for the 1982 season: Kathy Schultz, president; Shirley Dawson, vice president; Pat Feiner, secretary; Mary Ann Novak, treasurer , and Corky Weber and Harriet Wortley, sergeants at arms.

STAFF PHOTO - WAYNE GAYLORD Chapel Hill Tournament Doherty's and the Fox Hole Tap will be the two favorites picked to meet in the McHenry 12-incH championship series. Both divisional winners drew byes while the other four playoff teams battle in first round play. In first round action Wednesday night, Wayne ' s and the Rusty Nail Inn split in their two encounters in the first game, Wayne ' s pounded out nine home runs en route to a 20-10 victory. In the second meeting, however, Wayne's went "homerless" and Rusty Nail prevailed 8-6 In the other game Wed nesday night. Old Bridge Tavern defeated the Johnsburg Businessmen 15- 6. On Wednesday, Sept. 9, Johnsburg and Old Bridge will square off again in the first game of the night. In the second game, Wayne's will play the rubber game against Rusty Nail. A third game will only be necessitated if Johnsburg wins the opener, therefore forcing a tiebreaker. If Wayne' s wins the first round series, they would meet Doherty's in the semi finals. If the Rusty Nail wins, however, they would meet the Fox Hole in the semi's. The winner of the John- sburg-Old Bridge series would meet the other first place team depending upon the Wayne s-Nail outcome. The following are a brief summary on each playoff team: RUSTY NAIL Rusty Nail Inn is led by three of the Western Division's top hitters in Rick Wakitsch (.612), Len Ackerman ( .568) and K»vtn Freund (.551). Wakitsch and Freund have 13 home runs and 27 extra base hits bet ween them with 53 RBI's. Pitcher Al Stilling has been Divot Dolls Due to inclement weather, the Divot Dolls did not get on the course this week. See you next week. Liz On The Sideline With Dick Rabbitt Athletic activity at McHeiin' high school will get into full swing Within the n&d£4feek: Chuck CUd^'s golfers opened their season yesterday at Antioch. Hutch will take his squad to the Maine West Invitational tomorrow . Gary Gray s netters and Pam Shaffer's volleyball team will open next week, and the Field Hockey team will open on the 16. Next Saturday Joe Schlender will trot his 1981 Warriors in the season opener at Stevenson. So from now on there will be a full schedule of events taking place, and Warrior fans are welcome to one and all, take your pick, you will see a lot of fine play, along with Sonny Shanahan's swimmers in the pool. Thirty-onejsophomore football players at McHenry high school have been working out daily in preparation for their season opener at Stevenson Sept. 12. Head coach Dan Boland and his assistant Bob Ludwigsen have been putting the squad through a tough schedule the past two^ weeks. According to Boland, he won't announce his starting lineup until late next week, as several positions? are yet to be filled. He is hoping this could be decided next week. The squad is as follows: Matt Adams; Kevin Barry; Dave Beste; Brent Blankenhorn; Dennis Casey; Russ Diedrick; Greg Gilmore; DaveGraef; Jeff Greny; Herb Hanson; BobHawley; Paul Hermann; Todd Hughes; Bill Iwanski, Brad Johnson; Scott Justen; Cary Kern; Darrvl Lorenz; John Lynk; Chuck Martin; Mike Milinac; Toad Milstein; Dan Mohney; Kevin Moore; Mark Peterson; Mike Podpora; Vic Romandine; Corey Scott; Tim Schmitt; Dave Suchonski; and Joe Wahalen. By this time next year there will be a lot of changes in conferences in this part of the state. Stevenson is dropping out of the Northwest Suburban to enter the North Suburban. There is talk that one of the Maine high schools will close after this school year. Johnsburg is entering the Northwest Suburban taking the place of Stevenson. The Skyhawks will be by Tar the smallest school in that conference, but they can be representative in all sports, and it sure beats the bus ride to Beloit. Harvard is entering the Little Eight with Richmond, Burlington Central, etc., and should provide some good competition in that league. Marian Central is headed back to the West Suburban Catholic, after dropping out this season, and if Benet would move up to a conference their size, the West Suburban coula be a competitive conference, with all schools getting a chance for a championship. All of this changing around leaves our good friend the A.D. at Marengo Rod Poppe out on a limb, with no place to go. Marengo would like to get into the Little Seven with Batavia, Sycamore, Geneva, Kaneland etc., but the question is, will they accept the Indians. Marengo would be the smallest school in that league, and Plainfield may object to the long travel. Travel is becoming a big factor these days in almost every shcool. Budgets are tight, costs are sky-high, and we are finding more and more schools willing to play closer to home. We can look for moreand more conferences to break up, add teams, drop a few until a happy balance is acquired, and this will probably start with next season. Let's hope the Fox Valley can stay intact, it's a nice league, short travel, good competition, and a good friendly group of people.

If they get as hot as they were in the 12- inch tournament - look out! OLD BRIDGE The Old Bridge Tavern could be in serious trouble with the loss of Gary Gilpin through injury and Doug Freund at night school. Gilpin broke a 12-inch record with 15 home runs while Freund is indispensible in the outfield. The Bridge will have leading batter Joe Dehn < 636) who led the league with 36 RBI's plus Greg Freund ( 500). Short stop Tom Ludwig and out fielder Jim Zasata will add great defensive play but must do the same of fensively The rest of the ball club must also pick up the slack offensively, otherwise it's wait until next year. JOHNSBURG BUSINESSMEN T h e J o h n s b u r g Businessmen dropped their last two regular season games to Doherty's and Rusty Nail plus have been (iuthit by opponents in their last four' contests. Tom Spasojevich is the leading hitter < 667).' plus he leads in RBI's (33), home runs (8) and total extra base hits (18) Harry May ( .576) adds clutch hitting while Wayne Hiller, a .564 outfielder, adds home run power. John Meyers and Scott Letzter, however, will need to get back into early season batting form (both were hitting over .600. The outfield play also has to improve for the Businessmen to get to the finals. WAYNES Wayne's led the league in home runs with 48 round- trippers but still lost six of their last eight games, four by two runs or less! They boast excellent hitting and slugging power with Don Prazak (.604), Kevin Horner (.553), WayneRoewer (.550), Pat Burke ( .542) and Tom Burke ( .527) combining for 42 homers and 127 RBI's! They will need to get help from the bottom haK of the lineup while their sluggers look less for the home run (they also lead the league in flyouts!) and more for the base hit. , , DOHERTY'S Doherty's has not only gone undefeated, but in 15 of 16 games they have held opponents under 10 runs, they have a habit of putting together the big inning which usually decides the outcome of a 12-inch contest, Otherwise they have been able to come up with the big defensive play, t|ie clutch hit and the come from behind rally necessary to win the big games. Mike Rogers, a .554 leadoff hitter is the top hitter while Irish DeCiccio (.537) and Matt Oik (.510) are the leading RBI men. Jeff Meddings and Tom Roach, both .500 hitters, are key defensive people. The big question is will they be able to continue their streak? FOX HOLE TAP Fox Hole Tap has lost three games this season but still holds a 34-3 record over two years. Their .528 team batting average again leads' the league plus they boast the leading hitter in Twig Miller with a .703 average. Nine regulars are hitting .490 or better with Ron Miller ( .638) and Don Bentz ( .604) following Twig in batting. Bentz also led the team in RBI's and was tied wtih Bill Meyers for total extra base hits. Myron Bentz a .560 hitter, team home run leader and second in RBI's, may not be in the lineup and could hamper Fox Hole chances. They are the team to beat even though Doherty's is undefeated. PatWirtz Hurricanes Drop Opener Marian Central Catholic high school dropped its opening tennis meet of the season at Cary Wednesday night by a 5-0 score. The Hurricanes number one singles player, Ellen Miller, took ranked state player Chris Devine to the wire before losing 4-6, 6-1, 4- 6. At one point Miller led 4-1 in the final set.

The freshman team was 1- 4 on the night as only the number two doubles team of Claire Gigon and Serena Miceli was victorious. They won in straight sets 7-6, 6-4.
