PAGE 15 -PLAINDEALER- WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 25, 1984 Cold fails to stop area ice-fishermen The ice-fisherman has to be the bravest of all sportsmen. If not the bravest, the craziest. I mean, who in their right mind would go out on the ice in four-below zero weather, drill little holes and stick a line in the water with a frozen worm on the hook. If they were like everybody else, they would stay indoors where its nice and warm. Even the fish didn't care to come out of I their warm cubby holes to go after the fishermen's bait. » But being the true sportsmen as they are, 75 to 100 McHenry area ice- fisherman showed up for 10th annual McCullom Lake Ice-fishing Derby on Saturday. More came out on Sunday, as the temperatures rose over zero to 20 degrees for better fishing conditions. Although the fish weren't biting, the hearty fishermen made the most of it. Some of the brave souls fished as if sitting back home in their livingrooms. Makeshift shanties, set up all over the lake made life a little easier. Three particular area McHenry men probably had the best time out on the ice than anyone else. The three had built a large shelter made out of a wood frame and plastic wrapped all around it. The Sport Talk by Mike Lamb Sports Editor plastic kept the cold out and a Coleman heater kept it nice and cozy. Inside, Mike Karsucki, Tom Sroka and Bob Doessel sat - with their lines in the water, a radio playing tunes, drinking their favorite beer - having a good time. Things were so quiet and com­ fortable, Karsucki read the morning paper when the Plaindealer camera snuck a picture of them. Mark Seifert, a 13-year-old from McHenry, sat in a smaller version of the plastic shanty. He also had a Coleman heater to keep him toasty and his radio kept him company. A little bitty perch was all Seifert could claim on the Sunday morning effort. . . I ' l l .1. STAFF PHOTOS-WAYNE GAYLORD Other variations included tents and cardboard boxes. Others were too tough for shelters and stood out in the open - and still having a good time. Rick Sensabaugh of Island Lake, Greg Hansen and Wayne Blake of McHenry sat outside their one-man cardboard box shelter. "Not really," said Sensabaugh, when asked if the fish were biting. "At least its a little warmer than yester­ day." Fred Schmidt and his son Jeff built a small plastic-wooden framed wall which they sat behind. That at least kept the scratching wind off their backs. "We're just enjoying the day," Schmidt said, not bothered by the lack of fishing luck. The results of the day didn't even come close to last year's 28 northerns caught. As of 12:30 p.m. Sunday, only one northern was caught on the weekend. That measured 29 inches. "It was a pretty good turnout. Today, there are a lot more," said McCullom Lake Conservation Club President Harvey May. The number of fish caught, however, was a disappointment to May. The largest crappie caught was nine- inches, a bluegilll was caught at seven inches and the smallest fish was a 2.5 inch perch."

All the equipment a fisherman could need was in that shanty. let's' talk M Sports Wauconda whipped by Marian again By Brian Spears Shaw-Free Press Service W O O D S T O C K Tenacious defense. Faultless free throws. Balanced scoring. Aggressive Rebounding. You name it, Marian Central did it right Friday night. The Hurricanes played the game the way it was meant to be played, dumping the Wauconda Bulldogs, 65-48, in a Nor­ thwest Suburban Con­ ference contest. This was the second time in the same week the 'Canes stopped Wauconda. On Tuesday night, they claimed a 66-50 win at Wauconda. "It was almost like last Tuesday night," Marian coach Hans Rokus began. "We knew their guards were the ones we had to watch for and we had to shut them down. I thought we did a nice job on them because last game they had four and two points." The Bulldogs two guairds, Brian Podraza and Lyle Werth, combined for 24 points in the teams' first meeting, but were held to a total of six points Friday night. While the Hurricanes stopped Wauconda's big guns, they counter-attacked with balance scoring from the starters and some help from the bench. Four of the five MC starters were in double figures, while the fifth added seven points and three substitutes -con­ tributed a total of eight points. Guards Andy Hartlieb and Jeff Kruse led the way with 13 points apiece, while Chuck Hartlieb and Dan Lalor had 12 each. Curt Wozny dropped in seven for the 'Canes. "I was pretty pleased with the overall performance," Rokus said. "It's nice to see that kind of balance." M a r i a n ' s d e f e n s i v e prowess showed from the start. It held the Bulldogs to six points in the first 7:59 of the game, as Wauconda had an eight-point first period thanks to a shot at the buzzer. Meanwhile, the Hurricanes began to build their lead. Four different players scored for MC in the opening quarter to put it ahead, 14-8. The second period was the highest scoring for Marian. A two-minute rampage early in the quarter was the key for the Hurricanes, as they scored eight unan­ swered points to take a 26-13 lead. Chuck Hartlieb con­ nected on a long jump shot to start the scoring. Wozny hit a short jumper, Kruse scored two of his seven points of the quarter on a field goal and Lalor ended it with a layup before Wauconda finally took a timeout.

In that crucial first half. Marian made its first 12 free throws before half- time. The Bulldogs, on the other hand, cut their own throats by making only three of nine from the line. Rokus was pleased with the Hurricanes foul shooting, especially Lalor. "That's what our trademark's been all year. We're a pretty good free throw shooting team," Rokus said. The team ended up 21 for 29 in the game, as Lalor led the way by making six of six. Not counting the last minutes of the game when Marian made only one of five from the line', the 'Canes were 20-for-24 for a tree throw percentatge of 83 Wauconda didn't give up in the second half The Bulldogs outscored Marian. 13-11. in the third, and cut their deficit to nine in the fourth But that was as close as they got. as Andy Har­ tlieb scored two field goals and Wozny added a three- point play, all in less than a minute, to up the Canes lead to 54-38.
