McHenry, still seeking its first win of the seasoj after three tries, will host Crystal Lake Central Friday night at McCracken Field, beginning at 8 p.m. The Tigers are 2-1 on the year, 1-0 in the FVC last Friday, 35-7. the FVC after whipping Cary-Grove Marian 'recoils' 5-0 loss By Plalndeater sports staff ; 6EAYSLAKE -- Even Marian Central tennis coach Tom Burg says the 1965 season is starting to sound like a broken record. - His team dropped its sixth / straight match Wednesay when Grayslake hung a 5-0 defeat on the Hurricanes at the Rams' courts. ; "In both of our doubles matches, we won the first set only to lose the second two," a disappointed Burg ; said. "We're showing we can win. '.We're doing something right. It's just a matter of putting two consis­ tent sets together." Becky Adams and Toni Woodruff took their first set at No. 1 doubles, 6-2, but dropped the final two 3-6,4-6 to Lori Eslinger and Kathy Blasius. At second doubles, Traci Martino and Jennifer Will also grabbed a 6-2 decision in the first set, but couldn't hold on as they dropped 2-6, 1-6 battles to Alice Norton and Julie Tortorici. "I was very pleased with both doubles teams," Burg said. "They're both playing well. Again, it's4ust a matter of time." In singles action, Noel Mercure was dumped at No. 1 by Jacqui Relitz, 6-1, 6-2 while Michelle Mar­ tino lost a tough 6-7 (5-7), 3-6 match to Alice Nguyen at No. 2. Megan Carney lost at third singles by a 4-6,1-6 count. Marian Central, now 0-3 in the Northwest Suburban Conference and 0-6 overall, will come out fighting again Monday when it travels to Round Lake. jEwing signs, Knicks rejoice r By Martin Lader vUPI sports writer 'r NEW YORK -- By signing on the dotted line, Patrick * Ewing became one of the richest young men in America ; Wednesday and established the New York Knicks as «instant contenders. Ewing, the prize catch of the collegiate draft, a young : giant who has been eyed enviously by every NBA team >for the last four years, came to terms with the team on >a multi-year contract, one week before the start of ^training camp. * "I feel great and I'm happy to be here," the 7-foot, ~ 240-pound center said at a news conference at Madison -Square Garden where the Knicks play. "I'm glad it's *over (the negotiations). Now I can get down to what I ^do best, play ball." * Terms of the contract were not revealed, although it ^has been speculated Ewing will receive $16 million over *a period of seven years. He almost certainly will earn 'at least $1.5 million as a rookie. I "Because of the tremendous scrutiny these negotia- -tions have received, we've assured Patrick the details :would remain strictly confidential," said his agent, -David Falk, of ProServ. ' Ewing comes into the NBA without the big numbers :that usually accompany such a highly touted superstar. During his four years at Georgetown, he averaged 15.3 'points per game and 9.2 rebounds. As a senior, he :scored an average 14.6 points. - He invariably was double and even triple teamed, land his true value as a team player was underscored by Ithe fapt, Georgetown reached the NCAA championship •game three times in his four years, winning the title in '4964. - Seven teams participated in a lottery last May to determine who would have the privilege of drafting -Ewing, and the Knicks won. * "Ewing is a winner and he is a fierce competitor," Knicks coach Hubie Brown said. "When I think of Patrick Ewing, I think of a warrior. He has the physical presence. I've talked to people who have seen him play during his college career, and it's interesting that no one says they ever saw him play a dog game. Bears place Fuller in a very familiar role--starting QB % Carrie Muskat sports writer MINNEAPOLIS - Steve Fuller, who quarterbacked Chicago in the NFC Central Division title-clinching game against Minnesota last season, will start Thursday night against the Vikings. Both teams are 2-0. Chicago coach Mike Ditka said Fuller will replace Jim McMahor., who was hospitalized Sunday with a sore neck. McMahon has attended the Bears' workouts this week and will be on the sidelines for the na­ tionally televised game if Fuller does not have the success he did in last November's 34-3 victory. Fuller, a late acquisition last year from the Los Angeles Rams, com­ pleted 12 of 19 attempts for 143 yards and two touchdowns in that game. He replaced McMahon in the fourth quarter last week against New En­ gland, going 0-for-l and getting sacked twice. "Whoever is at quarterback, it doesn't matter," Viking comerback RufUs Bess said. "We're just pre­ paring for the Bears offense." A lot of that offense is carried by running back Walter Payton, the NFL's all-time leading rusher, who has been slowed with sore ribs but is expected to play. He carried the ball 11 times for 39 yards against the New England Patriots Sunday, play­ ing briefly in the second half. The Bears' vaunted defense has kept the Vikings working overtime this week. "They're the reason we're work­ ing three, four hours extra a day," Viking quarterback Tommy Kramer said. "The main thing we have to prepare for is to make sure every­ body knows who they're supposed to block. 5 "You'd like to go into a game situation and say 'this is what we're going to do,' but a lot of it depends on the game situation," he said. The defending NFC Central Dlvi- White Lightning begins fall with mixed success By Plalndealer News Service McHENRY - The White Light­ ning Soccer club started its soccer season with much promise. The under-8 Fox Valley team won a hard-fought battle with Lake Zu­ rich, taking the contest by a 2-1 score. The under-8 squad also won its second game of the season, shutting out Barrington, 1-0, setting the stage for what appears to be a bright season -- and future -- for this group. The under-10 Lightning traveled to Algonquin and won a tight game on a penalty kick, 3-2. The next contest, at hfWTIP Pow tho Lightning deadlocked in a 3-3 tie at game's end. The under-12 Fox Valley squad lost a see-saw battle with Lake Zu­ rich, 5-3, and then fell to Algonquin, 3-1. The Lightning under-14 team team went to Cary with a new caoch and a number of new players, and lost despite a fine effort, 3-0. The next opponent was Algonquin, and the Lightning, after being tied at half- time, lost the outing. All four teams have shown they can stand up to anyone, and will continue to perform in the highly competitive Fox Valley this fall season. sion champion Bears, ranked No. 1 in total defense last season, are third in overall defense this year, holding opponents to 256 yards per game while averaging 405 yards in total offense. Middle linebacker Mike Singletary leads the Chicago charge and is the spark in their defense The NFC defensive player of the year in ISP, he had three sacks and one intercep­ tion Sunday. . "I don't think they really disguise what thev're doing so much," Kra­ mer said. "They just have good personnel." Because of injuries, Kramer has not faced the Bears since the 1962 season when he threw for 342 yards and five touchdowns en route to a 35- 7 victory. > "We burned that film," Chicago coach Mike Ditka said. Surprisingly, the Vikings lead the NFL in the takeaway-giveaway de­ partment, forcing 12 turnovers and a blocked punt. Minnesota has con­ verted its opponents' mistakes into four touchdowns and a field goal. "You can't depend on it but natu­ rally we'd like to have the same kind of turnover help against Chicago that we had in the last two games," Viking coach Bud Grant said. Minnesota safety Joey Browner and cornerback Bess are doing most of the taking. Browner, a player without a position last season, scored on a 15-yard interception re­ turn in last Sunday's 31-6 victory over Tampa Bay. He leads the Vi­ kings In total tackles with 13 while Bess has forced three fumbles, re­ covered two and has nine tackles in two games. Bess, who is one of the Vikings to survive last year's 3-13 season, is looking forward to the national exposure. "It'll really be different because we have to show we're not the same team we were last year," he said. "I feel he has considerable talent, the work ethic is there and he's a winner, even if he hasn't averaged 20 points a game. He's been able to totally blend himself into the team aspect." Ewing said he'll have more freedom in the pro game without the restrictive defenses that continually ha­ rassed him at Georgetown. "Incollege I wasn't playing against one man; it was more like five against one," Ewing said. "In the pros it's structured so much different it will be one on one and that will help me a great deal. I won't have to deal with three men." Brown agreed. "I honestly feel Patrick's offensive game is going to flourish, mainly because you must plag the NBA big man honestly and he'll catch the ball more times in one month than he did in me season at Georgetown." Brown indicated he would use Ewing on a rotating basis at center and power forward with Bill Cartwright and Pat Cummings. Cartwright missed all of last season with a stress fracture that resulted in surgery on his left foot while Cummings averaged 15.8 points in 63 games before being sidelined with tendinitis. In all, Knick players missed a league record 329 games to injury in 1984-85 as the team finished last in the Atlantic Division. "From Day One we intend hopefully to play Cart­ wright and Ewing together," Brown said. "After a period of time, we'll insert Cummings into that rota­ tion. With these three people we'll have intimidation, shot b locking, low post scor ing and qual i ty performance." Brown said he was not worried about converting Ewing to a power forward because of his tremendous athletic ability. Brown also issued a warning about expecting too much too soon from one player. "I remember one guy who came out of college with even more publicity," he said. "Bill Walton came out of UCLA with a couple of NCAA championships, but at the end of three years, he missed over 90 games with injuries and his coach, Lenny Wilkens, was fired. "What we learned is that you can't foresee the injuries or the chemistry of the team. In the NBA no one guy can do it."
