PAGE 20 - PLAIN DEALER - WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 19.1984 Sports Chris Jexwlk , Spwti Editor Time for Cubs to irron success The Cubs, on the verge of gaining their first post-season bid in 89 years, have the potential to become media superstars. WGN, being shoved down throats from Bangor, Wash, to Key Largo, Fla., has made the Cubs - like ice cream and "Hill Street Blues" - everybody's favorites. The Cubs must seize this opportunity to showcase their en­ tertainment talents. Sure, they're great baseball players. But can they sing? Or act? Or dance? That's the question being bandied about many minds. This morning I heard a tune called "Men in Blue." It was sung by Leon Durham, Keith Moreland, Rick Sutcliffe and Jody Davis. If you haven't heard it, don't sweat it. You haven't missed a whole lot. Suffice it to say, they could use some lessons. In order to help these guys out, here's some suggestions for the Cubs, their management, their personnel, their hangers-on and their competitors as to how they can present their collective talents. Some ideas for songs, books, movies, TV shows, etc., that would fit the Cubs team like Steve Trout's hat fits his head. "CEY, CEY, CEY" - TfceCubs third baseman singtf a duet with Michael Jackson. The song tells the story of how an aging star can have a good season, make a lot of money, and be a crowd favorite, all while hitting just .230.

He attains his goal Continued on page It Warriors done in by Grant, mistakes By Dick RabUtt Plalndealer sports writer FOX LAKE - The Grant Bulldogs defeated the McHenry gridders 13-6 here Friday night, in a game marred by Warrior penalties which eventually led to their demise. Statistically, the Warriors completely dominated the game. But what counted most was the final score. It read, simply; Home 13, Visitors 6. Penalties, the plague of all football coaches, once again hit Joe Schlender's squad, and most came at opportune times for the Grant crew. For the game, McHenry had seven penalties for 70 yards, but six of those came in the first half, letting Grant off the hook and allowing the Bulldogs to lead 7-6 at the intermission. LAST WEEK AGAINST MORTON EAST, the Warriors were able to overcome penalties and mistakes versus a weak opponent. Against Grant, however, it was a different story. McHenry kicked off to Grant's 37, and on the second play, recovered a fumble at the Bulldog 43. But two penalties put the Warriors back on their own 39, and forced the locals to punt. The Warriors held, bringing about a Grant kick, but when the Warrior again dropped back to punt, Warrior booter Mike Schultz' knee touched on his own six-yard line, and Grant was in business. Two plays later, with 5:35 left in the first quarter, Grant back Dave Rowden went over, and the point after made it 7-0, Grant. THE ENSUING KICKOFF WAS RETURNED to the Warrior 19, but - you guessed it - a clipping penalty put the ball back on the nine. It was then the Warriors put on their best show of the evening. Dana Pitel, the Warriors' junior fullback who is subbing for the injured Jim raced 21 yards to the rushed for an even 100 ye the contest, on just 14 After Pitel's dash, wingback Pat Dunne went for 11 more and a first down to the 41. After another run by Dunne, senior signal-caller Craig . Hill hit Schulz for a first down to the Grant 46. Another penalty - the fourth of the period - set the Warriors back, but Hill found Curt Justen open for a first down to the Bulldog 30. Pitel ended the period with an 18-yard jaunt to the 12. ON THE THIRD PLAY OF, THE SECOND stanza, the Bulldogs were on the receiving end of a yellow flag, putting the Warriors on the doorstep, at the one-yard line. Dunne went in the end zone on a quick opener, but his point after attempt tidied. Still, the Warriors trailed only 7- 6 with 9:45 left in the half. The Warrior drive covered 91 yards in 12 plays, and it ap­ peared McHenry was ready to take control of the game. But the rest of the first half was a punt exchange, and the intermission came with Grant still leading by one. The field was not in prime condition. Rain fell in­ termittently during the first half, and the downpours made running and passing almost impossible in the third quarter. Hie only excitement in that period was a 46-yard TD run by Grant called back due to a holding penalty. The fourth period got un­ derway with rains over Lake Michigan, and both teams eager to score. A third down pass by Grant quarterback Taylor to Rowden broke the Warriors' backs, giving the Bulldogs a first down in McHenry territory, at the 42. AFTER A FIRST DOWN AT THE WARRIOR EIGHT, two penalties put Grant back to the 29. But they rebounded with a 27- yard pass to the two, Rowden going in for the score on the next play. The kick was wide, but Grant had a 13-6 advantage with just 7:35 to play. After an exchange of punts, Grant fumbled on its own 29, and the Warriors recovered with 4:45 left. But on a fourth and three play, the Warriors failed, and Grant took over. McHenry had one last gaining possession with 1:45 ] and 60 yards from paydirt. Hill threw to Schultz, reaching the Bulldog 33, but four passes fell incomplete, and Grant ran out the clock, sending McHenry down to its first defeat of the young season.

Johnsburg, rebounding from a disappointing opening day loss to Richmond-Burton, held a 20-0 lead at halftime and never looked back. "We feel real good about the win," Johnsburg coach Randy Oberembt said. "It's important for us to bounce bade." Johnsburg opened the high- scoring affair with a six-yard scamper by Mike Suidak with 3:58 left in the first quarter. Mike Majerdk's extra-point had the Skyhawks ahead, 7-0. WITH 2:48 LEFT IN THE period, Bill Brown picked up a Nazareth fumble and ran 12 yards for the score, Majercik'S kick upping the 'Hawk lead to 14- 0. Johnsburg quarterback Mark DuRei snuck in from the one- yard line with just 1:51 to go in the half, and after the kick failed, Johnsburg held an im­ posing 20-0 advantage. Late in the third stanza, after Nazareth got on the board, Johnsburg's Harry Walk went two yards for a score, and the Majercik PAT made it 27-6. The Skyhawks closed their scoring log with just under four minutes to play in the game , when DuRei hit Brown with a 12-yard TD pass, the kick making the score 34-6. Nazareth closed out the scoring with under a minute left in the contest. A L T H O U G H T H E SKYHAWKS put a lot of points on the board, the Jotuutourg defense was as big a story, according to Oberembt.
