P|ge *• PUIWDEALER HEWALP. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 14.19S4 Sports T7 -- Mosconi to appear Fifteen-time World Pocket Billiards Champion Willie Mocconi will stage exhibitions Sunday, Nov. 18, at Meier s Masterbilt Home Leisure Centers in Fox Lake and Bloom in gd ale. The 71-year old Hall of Fame member will appear at the Fox Lake store (145 S. Say ton Rd.) at noon and the Bloomingdale store (187 E. Lake St.) at 3 p.m. The son of a billiard parlor owner, Mosconi learned the game by using round potatoes and a broom stick when his father banned him from the parlor in an effort to encourage him to follow in the footsteps of his uncles, who were vaudeville dancers. But when Willie, at age six, ran 15 consecutive balls in a game against one of his uncles, his father decided to set up exhibitions for his son. But Willie grew tired of the sport, and retired at the tender age of seven. He dropped out of college in 1931 to support his parents as an upholsterer's apprentice, but was enticed one day by a billiard tournament and won $75. His career was luanched, and he placed second in the 1933 Na­ tionals. But it was not until 1941 that Mosconi won the first of his 15 world titles. He failed only twice to win the world title between 1941 and 1957 when world competition was discontinued. He still holds the record for making con­ secutive balls, running 526 straight during a 1954 exhibi­ tion in Springfield. JHS awards given JOHNSBUEG -- Senior Mark Dumelle was honored Monday as the Johnsburg High School football team's most valuable player at the annual fall awards banquet. Dumelle played defensive back and wide receiver for the Skyhawks, and was named to the all-Northwest Suburban Conference team last week. It was his second time on that elite unit. Also lauded at the ceremony were Mark DuRei and Tom Kinney as most valuable offen­ sive players. DuRei was the team's quarterback, Kinney the center. Both are seniors. Bob Bentz was named the team's most valuable defensive player. Bentz, an end, is a two- year starter for the Skyhawks. He is a junior. The most improved player award went to senior Ralph Stark, who played running back and defensive back for Johnsburg.

The 1985 National Hunting and Fishing Day Poster Contest will feature prizes totaling over $6,000 in U.S. Savings Bonds. » In a departure from past contests, last year the contest was chang­ ed to run concurrently with the school year. This proved to be so suc­ cessful that the 1985 poster contest will do the same. The deadline for entries is April 19,1965. ; National prizes, including a Grand Prize of a $1,000 U.S. Savings ' Bond, will be awarded to students who best illustrate the 1985 contest theme, "Why Wildlife Needs America's Sportsmen." The contest is open to all students in grades 5-12. So that youngsters can compete on a more equal basis, there is a Junior Division for grades 5-8, and a Senior Division for grades 9-12. Savings bonds of varying values will be awarded for second, third and honorable mention winners. In order to be considered for national awards, posters must first be winners in a locally-sponsored poster contest. These contest can be organized by schools, sportsmen's clubs, conservation or civic groups, newspapers, etc. To give youngsters time to research and prepare their posters, it is preferable that contests be organized as soon as possible. « For more information on how to sponsor or participate in a local contest, write: NHF Day Poster Contest, P.O.
