SP0O7S *H e*utj£ Wa£&ft, ' ' v ' l i f t 'WA0- f)MCd^iT^ - i« One of the most interesting >'fc ts to hit these parts in inany a day was Ray Meyer, De- Paul coach, who was guest speak- .{& at the Rotary Club dinner •4stor MCHS basketball players. I'r.ill. Ernie Useman, long time friend <SDf Ray's, made the introduction j^tund passed the ball to the one . * /time Notre Dame star. From ? •, ' 'there on it was a high-scoring i^^jpKtount of. interesting events in ^ _ flthe life- of one of the country's ||top coaches.. • ' • - i f - <|* Ray was high in his praise of j$George Mikan as the player who Jmade him a successful coach. I This man Russell of San Francisco also came in for great i praise and humorous description of his prowess. Ray stressed the desire to play and the desire to excel as allimportant in the success of an athlete. He also made it quite clear that the success of a coach today re^ts in the development of tall men. Do you know we wouldn't be surprised to see the day when basketball teams will be matched according to size. And it could happen in football. Hope the boys who want to play in the Pony League next summer have been reading Bill Bolger's column. Names should be turned in right now. We had just finished our evening meal one recent evening when a phone call came to the author of "The Great Outdoors." Jim Raycraft was at the Qther end of the line and had a hunch 'twould be a good timevto pay him a visit. 7 We tagged aleng «nd found Jim and his son," Jer£y, waiting in the truck and motor running. Darkness was falling fapt, and it was time for the wildfgfeese to return for the night' It wasn't any glider trip as we bounced through the fields, but the sight of hundreds of geese coming home to roost was . something we had never seen. ** They.. called 'am "scouts" -- "that firs| few *kat circled and let out real calls of the wild. , TTien came squadron after squad- < ron to land for the night. • Never have we seen geese at such close range. We doubt if you could get so close in hunting season. 'Twas a great sight with real Bound effects. It's only fat robins that land in our back yard, but it's the Raycrafts' we'll be calling when something worth seeing happens in our neck of the woods. Hiis fellow Rooksby is a changed man. He's a White Sox fan right from the word Go-Go. Yep. He's been with us right along! Even posted his predictions on the wall behind his linotype machine. White Sox, Yankees, Boston, Cleveland -- and let the rest fall where they may. How come all these reports of injuries, sore arms, sore feet and what not from the spring training camps? It's a wonder some of our country ball players ever survived. They had little or no • equipment and no trainer to ; soothe their aches and pains. Outfielders sometimes had to pick their step between bogs when chasing a fly ball. Nice to get a* card from Mrs. "Pink" Harrison from Hot Springs. Hear" they talked her into a plane ride. Will find out about that over a cup of coffee when she returns. DAILY PINUPS: Rolling up your sleeves makes it sort of hard to lose your shirt. Friction becomes only a fraction with a little touch of finesse. Ideal ideas are the ones with some elastic and enough adhesive. A flame causes warmth but is also capable of destruction.

THE GREAT OUTDOORS By Jack Walsh 0 The bluegills were really hits ting over at Stanton Point, Fox Lake last Sunday. Quit® a few ice fishermen had close to 200 fish. At Meyer's Bay the bluegills hit best early in the morning. With the trout season open year 'round this year, many fly rod and spinning enthusiasts will be out to try their luck. This year there is no size, limit, but the daily limit is 8. , April 1 is the closing day for the training of hunting dogs. Section 47 of the Game Code declares it unlawful to pursue wild birds or animals protected by the code from April 1 to August 15, and declares further that raccoon hunting dogs shall not be trained from April 1 to September 1, both inclusive. Field trials may be held during the closed period by getting a permit from the Department of Conservation. In the case of coon dog trials, hand-reared coons may be used as lead coons to establish scent for the dogs in the trial. Domestic coons may be used for no other purpose such as the "Coon on Log" exhibition which is illegal. Here are Charles Schaefer's contributions for the week: Certain wasps are considered th§. .first paper manufacturers. They build their nests of a paper- like substance which they make themselves. The arts of jet propulsion and smoke screening were mastered by the squid and the octopus long before man ever dreamed o( such things. Water squirting through funnels propels the animal, and enemy pursuers are confused by the discharge of clouds ,of ink.

Y OUTH LEAGUE By Bill Bolger Last Friday night we discussed plans for organizing Pony Leajgue baseball in McHenry. There have been generous offers from local business men and organizations to sponsor teams, so it begins to look like we will have no trouble securing uniforms and equipment. Once again I want to urge all you young fellows that are in the age bracket of 13 and 14 to send me a post card if you are interested in playing . Pony League baseball. To date I have received 16 applications,' which I think is a good showing for this early date. Fifty per, cent of the application? are from boyswho did not play Little League last year. There were over thirty 12 years old boys in Little League last year, so it seems rather logical that we can expect between sixty and seventy applications for Pony League. Next week I plan to have news concerning dates for Pony League meetings, movies on Youth Baseball, and several other items that should be of interest.
