Turnovers played a big part in the Hornets' loss as there were six fumbles in the contest, and the only score in the game Warriors At CLC resulted from a fourth down McHenry miscue. The Hornets lost their second 6-0 game of the season. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD The McHenry Hornets* suffered their second heartbraeking loss of the season as an unbeaten Winnetka team invaded McCracken field and came away with a 6-0 victory on a cold, rainy Sunday af­ ternoon The loss marked the second in the last three contests for Phil Thome's squad, that now stands at 4-2 on the year. Two weeks ago, the Hornets were beaten by another unbeaten team from the Southern division, North- brook. and again the score was 6-0. "It's games like these that leave you talking to your­ self," said Thorne. "We've Plaindealer Coach Joe Schlender will take his Warriors tomorrow afternoon to Crystal Lake to play Central in what could be the most important game of the season for the Warriors A loss to the Tigers would all but eliminate the Warriors from the Fox Valley race, but a victory could put the Warriors in the driver's seat the rest of the way. The Tigers of Bill Mack are the front-runners at this time with a 3-1 record, but there are six teams within striking distance all with a record of 2-2. As usual the crafty veteran coach of the Tigers has come up with a defense that has limited the op­ ponents to a mere 28 points in the four games plaved in the FVC Mac* lost all conference halfback John Simon, who rushed for over 1,400 yards last year, but again has come up with a pretty good squad Joe Graves, the senior signal caller who took over midwav in last season, and sparked the Tigers to five straight wins is back, and he has found a receiver in Steve Hill a 6'3" end that has caused the opposition a lot of trouble this season. Another Tiger to be watched is the coach's son Andy" a fine reciever and runrifcr As usual the veteran coach has found a replacemerlt for Jim Ratzer, who broke the state record for extra points iast season, in Dave Schreiner who already has kicked ten through the uprights for PATS The Warriors, still smarting from the 21-12 Homecoming defeat at the hands of the Dundee Car- dunals, are working hard this week to correct their mistakes of last Friday night. I can remember several years ago when Bill Day took a bunch of "underdog" Warriors to the Tiger homecoming and came away with a big win. Let's hope history repeats itself tomorrow at Crystal Lake.

But since we're still unbeaten in the Nor­ thern division I expect that we'll see one of those two teams in the championship game." The Hornets will be looking for a rebound next Sunday when they travel to Mundelein. "If we play our game against them, we shouldn't have much trouble," he predicted. But against Winnetka, McHenry had one of its worst offensive showings of the season and sealed its own fate early in the first quarter. The Hornets received the opening kickoff and failed to move the ball on their first possession. Fullback Mike Schultz gained three yards for the longest play in the series, and after three blunders the Hornets were forced to punt the ball away. Winnetka likewise had trouble gaining yardage on the slippery field and turned the ball back to McHenry. On their second possession of the game, the Hornets again started with Schultz carrying the ball. He gained six yards, then John Diedrich picked up only two yards on the next two carries forcing Schultz to again kick the ball away. But this time the snap from center eluded Schultz and by the time he retrieved the ball, a swarm of Win­ netka players were upon him and dropped him at the Hornet three-yard line. On first and goal, Win­ netka gained two yards to the one. On second down and goal, Jim Shaver broke through the line and tackled the ball carrier for a three yard loss. But on third down, W i n n e t k a ' s f u l l b a c k barreled into the end zone for the game's only score. The extra point attempt was unsuccessful, but a strong Winnetka defense made the 6-0 score stand up. But the Hornets' defense was equally as perverse as the remainder of the game turned into a defensive struggle. "Neither team could really generate an offense," said Thorne. Diedrich, who had been far and away the best running back for McHenry this season, was held to a meager 10 yards on 14 carries with a long gain of 18 yards. Schultz was the Hornets' leading ground gainer in the contest with 10 carries for 20 yards. McHenry ended the game with only 68 yards rushing, far and away the lowest total of the season. Both Diedrich and Schultz also fumbled the ball two times each, a first. One of Schultz's muffs occurred late in the second half when the Hornets were on their way to a score. After hauling in a 50-yard pass from quarterback William Cameron, the fullback coughed up the ball on the first play on Winnetka's 13- ^yard line. Cameron connected on four of 11 passes for 76 yards in the contest," giving the Hornets 144 yards from the line of scrimmage. But considering how McHenry's defense played, the miscue on fourth down was the break that Winnetka needed. The Hornets gave up but 89 total yards in the game, 55 yards rushing and 34 through the air. McHenry also forced two fumbles themselves. Diedrich led the defense with nine tackles, which included six solos and three assists; and Shaver followed with seven tackles, with five solos and two assists. Carl Moesche { i w | Parks & Recreation | LOOKING FOR DAYLIGHT - is Hornet running back John Diedrich (25) in Sunday's game against Winnetka. The leading ground gainer all season for McHenry, Diedrich didn't find much daylight on the cold, rainy afternoon at McCracken field and was held to only 10 yards rushing. McHenry's offense was also held in check as Winnetka won 6-0. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Harriers Lose; Eye Districts mm Johnsburg high school's cross country team dropped its last dual meet of the season at Woodstock Tuesday night as the Skyhawks were defeated 25- 30 by the Blue Streaks and also 21-40 by Belvidere.
