Space and time given high school athletics these "rnore than twenty years, but do appreciate any help offered. We do not have a big j Wauconda's team finished fourth time staff in our sports department, but do have specialty reporters who do a nice job of bringing in the news of their particular sport. Many appeals for student reports on football have brought results in only a couple of instances through the years. Maybe we have some real help this time; We know that Bill has his heart and soul in the game. Watching the boys practice Monday night, "Mac" pointed out some of the husky fellows who should be ready to give a good account of themselves this year. The closer we moved toward the team, the bigger those fellows looked. With only one exception the Pheanis-Fulton group was made, up of Juniors and Seniors. That we like to see. Nobody is predicting a championship, but this bunch shouldn't be pushed around too much. "Mac" gave us schedules for varsity, sophomore and freshmen teams which we hope to print in this issue. The varsity travels to Wauconda for a game Saturday afternoon. Wauconda has been coming up in great style in sports so look for a real test in this one. This" is not a conference game, so opposing coaches will have a good chance to look over their prospects. The Johnsburg Tigers quit foolifig around and really put that C o u n t y League championship away last Sunday by trouncing Algonquin 11 to 2. Blending youth with experience, Manager Joe Frett did a great job with the team. Willie Klapperich carried the pitching load and the rest of the team took turns coming through in the finches. f Lloyd Freund had a perfect day a.t bat and Bob Klaus was put out pnly once. Bob had three walks and one hit in five attempts. And he ran those bases like a fellow departing from a strange watermelon patch in a big hurry. to the fund for injured players. You should have seen the crowd up there last Sunday. Saw "Brune" Butler representing Ringwood. Marty and Bob Knox and A week from next Sunday, Sept. 23, the All-Star picks from the league will appear at Johnsburg to try to knock off the champs. ' All proceeds will g(k seven returning lettermen. Their in the North-West Conference .last year. Their line average is 185 pounds this year and they have ten returning lettermen. This is a practice game and should prove ah exciting afternoon of football. The McHenry team has been working hard the past few weeks and deserve the whole-hearted support from the faculty, students, parents and townspeople.' Lets giv£ the Warriors the support they deserve with attendance at the games and show the team we are 100 7c behind them. Starting time is 2:30 p.m. See you in Wauconda.

Breakdown on North-Sub Football 'Conference: Last year's champs. Crystal Lake, had 125 boys report for football practice. Their line this year will average 170 pounds and they have eight lettermen returning from last years team. Zion- Benton, the second place winner, had 100 boys report, of which 12 were returning lettermen. Their line will average between 180-185 pounds. The third place team, Libertyville, had 110 boys report for practice with only one returning letterman. They have good reserve strength from last year's Junior Varsity team. Barrington* the fourth place winner, had 15 lettermen returning of the 115 boys reporting for practice. Their line will average between 180-185 pounds. Lake Forest, the 5th place team had 85 boys report for practice and three returning lettermen. Woodstock, the sixth place team last year, had 11 returning lettermen of the 90 boys reporting for practice. They are small but have the speed to make up for the size. Warren, who tied with McHenry for last place, had 80 boys report for practice with The Johnsburgh Tigers are the 1956 McHenry County League Champs. They proved it Sunday afternoon on their home diamond as the crowd of the year saw them down Algonquin 11 tih 2 in the final game of the play-off series. , In the series opener, the Tigers came up with one big inning to score all their runs in a 7 to 4 victory. Algonquin played inspired ball and took advantage of Johnsburg errors in the second game to even the series with a 4 to 3 win, Big "Moose" . Liebert won for Algonquin so Manager Jess Armstrong sent the big fellow into the final fray, opposing Willie Klapperich. But, this time the Tigers were up on their toes, fitting in the clutches and taking a mile every time' they .were given an inch. Just as soon as the champs came to bat in the first inning, it was apparent that this was their day. "Tony" Freund was safe on an error by Johnson at short and Bob Klaus drew the first of three walks he drew in the game. Lloyd started a perfect day at bat with a single to load the bases. "Tony" scored on a wild pitch and the runners moved up. The outfield switched over as Howie Freund came to bat, but "Old Reliable" lined a hit to right for two more runs that in the final analysis proved to be the winning margin. Johnsburg scored two more in Photo by Worwick Standing: Jim Freund, Richard Freund, Bob Klaus, Howie Katz, Lloyd Freund, Howie Freund, Henry Hiller (official scorer).

Freund knocked down a shot over second base by Dianis, but- couldn't make a play. The visitors came alive, but had their early hopes smothered as Art Jackson took care of Kreeger's fly ball and the second base combination flashed season form with a fast double play. Dewitz and Schroeder hit safely in the fourth, but Feffer and Ritt both went down swinging to end the threat. Then Klapperich allowed nary a hit until the eighth. The Tigers picked up their final two runs in the fifth as Liebert turned over the pitching problem to Kreeger. With one out "Tony" sent a whistler into left that Feffer tried to turn into a shoe-string catch. The ball the second when Nowak led off kept going and so did "Tony" for with a triple over Schroeder's j a round-tripper. After Klaus head in right field. Johnson went back for Klapperich's fly. Then "Tony" and Klaus walked to fill the bases. Lloyd's second hit I scored two runs. i drew his third pass, Manager Armstrong decided to make a change. Klaus went to second on a wild pitch and Lloyd drew a pass. H. Freund forced Lloyd Maybe the fourth is too lengthy 1 at second- but Klaus sc°red fr6m to relate.

They feel that if hard work, spirit and determination will win a championship then we are well on our way. A Concensus of i ?_•. Freund, If keep the batters# under control. Klapperich issued two bases, on. balls in the eighth and both turned into runs as King and Feffer: came through with safe bldWs. But, Willie had his game won and the runs did nothing wbrse than spoil his shut-out. The trophy was ready and -Was* presented to Manager Joe Frtsjtt, who immediately called his payers to take possession. Johnsburg (11) ABi 3f line average will be 160 pounds.

Manager Joe has asked us to join his team in a trip to Joliet for a game with the Statevilie team Saturday, Sept. 29. We plan to go, but demand a round trip ticket. Texas Joe Buch sent a darb of a card to George Justen this week. We would hate to accuse that McHenry will have a much football coaches in the North Sub Conference pick Barrington, Crystal Lake, Zion-Burton and Libertyville for first division. Nevertheless, Coach Phesknis insists the Warriors are a contender for the conference crown if they continue at their present pace.
