;age Four THE McHENRY PLA1NDEALER Thursday, October 5, 196i SO I HEAR This is the time of year when baseball and football clash. This column will be rolling over the presses before the first game of the World S>eries is in the hashing over stage. Chuck Peterson just came in to talk about a little bet, but isn't too sure he wants to lose money by betting against the Yankees. Neither do we. They talk about hitting and pitching. Our guess or hunch is that the little talked of Yankee defense may turn the trick. We might hedge on that defense strength if Mickey Mantle is unable to play. Sentiment and strong pitching rides with the Reds. The world loves a winner until the winner meets the underdog. You must come down to Mc- Cracken Field Friday night to see the Warriors play Crystal Lake football team. The Mandli boys have done a lot of running, but not much scoring this year in spite of a winning record. This may be the night to see the goal line crossed a few times. The Indiana Bar Association was told recently of a bill to be introduced in the 1963 General Assembly which would require marriage license applicants to show sanity certificates. Down goes the license business! The Whitewater College football roster lists Harold Hettermann and Bob Hauser of Mc- Henry asrlettermen on their squad. LaCrosse State wilJ furnish opposition on Saturday night of this week at Whitewater. We have a schedule in case any of you fans would like to see these home team boys in action. BOWLING GREATS -- Ladies first. Lil Michels led the Queens with 202-571. WOW! Elaine Justen hit em 208-538. And now the men. Scott Bacon anchored Joe's Barber Shop at the Palace with a 664 series, hitting 263 in his thix-d game. Bill Worm had another big series in the same league-- 640 pins with 232 in his second game. Eddie Buss was out in front in the Business Men's group at McHenry Recreation. To many of us who can remember back a few years, McHenry will not seem the same without Jimmy Doherty who passed away this week. When he enjoyed good health, his presence in any crowd added fun and laughter. Daily Pinups When you battle with your conscience and lose, you're still the winner. Sometimes a live wire becomes crossed by a dead sure scheme. Choosing your friends rates more of discretion and less of distinction. Diplomatic phraseology is putting your point across without sticking or being stuck. A year that's filled with nice fresh days, A year to earn your neighbor's praise, Twelve months of happiness and peaqe, If you so wish, take out a lease. Anonymous Thie buffalo made the first roads in North America--an so gentle were the slopes they selected, that many of /our highways and railroads /still follow them. ZERO TIE AT UBEKTM1E Look For Red Hoi Battle This Week With Crystal Lake By Ernie Use man A Homecoming-spirited Libertyville squad held the McHenry Warriors scoreless last S a t u r d a y a f t e r n o o n , a s drenched and disappointed spectators watched the defensive struggle end in a pointless tie, 0-0. For the second straight week the Warriors fought stubborn opposition on slippery turf through driving rain, causing coach Mandli--and McHenry f a n s -- t o a s k t h e m s e l v e s , "What can the Warriors do against tough competition in a dry game?" From the opening kickoff it appeared that Libertyville was ready for the unbeaten Warrior eleven, and the first Wildcat drive demonstrated their determination. McHenry was forced to punt after a series of downs, including a surprising but unsuccessful opening aerial attack, and Libertyville started offensive action on their own 35. Fifty pile-driving yards later the Wildcats were within 15 yards of being the first team to score upon the rigid Warrior defense, but smashing tackles by Ted and Ron Freund jarred the ball loose from a 5 yard pass-receiving end, and Rick Hauck recovered on his own 5 yard line. Similar to the situation in Zion-Benton the week before, it would be hard to overestimate the importance of halting the early Libertyville threat. There's no telling what the sparked Wildcats might have done after drawing quick first blood. One other defensive stand midway through the 4th quarter must also share the term "game-saver" for the Warriors. With 5 minutes left in the game the Wildcats punted from their own 35, after making 2 unsuccessful pass attempts and a loss caused by "red-dogging" Ed Mars. The ball was run back to the Warrior 40, but a 5 yard penalty against McHenry allowed the Wildcats to punt over, under a 5-yard advanced, 4th and 5 situation. Crucial Point Of the 35 yards McHenry was penalized, this seemingly unimportant 5 may be classified as the most crucial-- as the mlsjudgment of the next punt caused a McHenry fumble, and after the scramble subsided Libertyville was in possession on the Warrior 28. Working as some mechanical device, the fumble completely quieted McHenry's slim gathering and set the opposition's Homecoming crowd into a frenzy. Two plays later the impregnable Warrior defense seemed about to succumb to the Wildcat drive, as a first down was reached just 17 yards from 6 points. But the same spark that lit the Wildcat fire hit the Warriors, as the stubborn squad held Libertyville to 8 yards in the next 3 downs, forcing a dramatic 4th and 2 setting on the McHenry 9. With signals being called in utter silence, a right half "quickie" found the Wildcat halfback meeting linebackers Chuck Miller and Paul Morenz and tackle Larry Freund just yard short of the first down. McHenry took over with less than 2 minutes left. What seemed to be a hopeless situation was faced and defeated by the Warriors, allowing them the consolation of still enjoying an unscoredupon season. The Warriors "ran out" all but 30 seconds of the clock, and a punt and one Wildcat play ended the scoreless game. Overall Statistics Yds. gain. rush.

After 2 or 3 successful plays, ripping Libertyville defenders would cause Warrior losses and soon a punt would follow. Freund, Morenz, or Faunt would put together 8 or 9 yard advances, only to get cut down for 6 yard losses. It was these losses at strategic moments that kept McHenry from ever penetrating the Wildcat 20 yard line. D e s p i t e t h e u n d e s i r a b l e weather, quarterback DeCicco hit better than 33 per cent as he gained 35 yards through the air, while the Wildcat 6' 3" hurler only found 4 of 21 receivers. With a more able screen pass receiver, that play would save plagued the Warriors even more than it did. The Warriors will be the first to admit that they did not play the game they could have. They learned a lesson the hard way, but it could have been worse. •* McHenry is still on top and can stay there--but the team wants to feel you are behind them. Get out to the game Friday night at McCracken Field. Arch rivals Crystal Lake meets the Warriors at 8, following the 6:15 Frosh-Soph game. The Tigers were stomped 33- 7 by Zion-Benton last Friday as Sam Payne ran wild, but a Crystal Lake-McHenry contest is one all by itself. As Coach Mandli stated, "Those Tigers can have the worst team in years, but the minute they meet McHenry they look like All Americans." Do your best to get there, and try to make ' it early-- Frosh-Soph coaches Chuck Cuda and Dean Hargis topped off a 3-0 record by edging Libertyville 13-6. STATE FORESTRY SERVICE AVAILABLE IN THIS DISTRICT Springfield, 111. -- Personal state forestry services are now available to landowners in all 102 counties of Illinois for the first time, William T. Lodge, Director of the Illinois Department of Conservation, stated. A forestry district has been created covering northeastern Illinois, increasing the number of forestry districts in the state to five. As part of this expansion, farm forestry offices are now being established in Geneva and Paxton. Depart ment of Conservation foresters assist landowners by marking and measuring the right trees for harvesting, by finding reliable and proper timber buyers, and by giving the landowners advice on planting trees on idle acres. Nobody ever pulled a rabbit out of a hat without first putting it in. So it is with the best things in life--prepar a t i o n s must be made ahead of time, before rewards or satisfactions are enjoyed. A Hole In P. H. (Bill) Billeter had the biggest thrill of all his golfing years when he made a hole-inone on the 191 yard 8th hole with a 3 wood at the McHenry Country club recently. Bill has been trying forjjwre than 40 years to get that famous shot. PISTAKEE COUNTRY CLUB NEWS More than 120 McHenry Foresters and guests attended their annual outing at Pistakee Country Club, Sunday, September 24, for a day and evening of fun.

MARIAN CENTRAL INVADES GARY NEXT SATURDAY Hurricanes' Goal Line Has Not Been Crossed This Year Unscored on in three games, Marian Central faces by far its sternest test of the season Saturday afternoon when it invades Gary, Indiana to meet Andrean High School in Gilroy Stadium. The game, originally scheduled for Saturday night, has been changed to 2 p.m. Saturday afternoon. McHenry County fans may drive to the game by taking the Illinois tollway to Gary. The stadium is one-half block south of the tollway. • - « Marian captured its third win with two long passes and a safety as it downed St. Edward's of Elgin, 15-0. Previous wins included a 7-0 tri-r umph over Immaculate Conception of Elmhurst and 32-0 win over Woodstock. Mike Purvey's touchdown passes of 35 yards and 70 yards to Gary Church were the scoring plays. Bruce Peterson place-kicked an extra point after the second quarter touchdown. Chuck Thillman blocked a punt in the fourth quarter for Marian's safety. Marian's air attack was impressive, picking up 179 of Marian's 247 total yards gained. St. Ed's gained 99 yards rushing and 21 yards passing. Marian completed 10 out of 21 passes, 8 out of 14 by Purvey for 165 yards. Wally Bowman sophomore quarterback, completed two out of seven passes for 14 yards. Church caught three passes for 107 yards, while Ed Crowley, end, caught four passes for 52 yards. Offensive standouts for Marian were Purvey, Church and Crowley. Joe Vilmain. leading ground gainer with 29 yards, also contributed importantly to the win with good blocking. Defensively, Parsley singled Thillnian, Wayne Karas, and Peterson for their play. This week Parsley plans to add a few offensive tricks to make Purvey's pinpoint passing still more effective. The Hurricanes have good ground gainers in their Stable besides Church and Vilmain., Joe Reinert, for example, paced the team's ground game against both Woodstock and IC. Ron Reckam is a regular halfback spelled by John Leahy, back from the injury list. Joe Blanner, 1 sophomore from McHenry and Steve Sexton, junior from Crystal Lake, add depth to the backfield. Good news also came from the sick list. Bill Riley, qquarterback, injured before the season started, was in uniform at Elgin and will swing into act ion this week. The Thursday Night athletic club will open tonight, Oct. 5. at 7:30 o'clock in the old gym of high school. Anyone over high school age is invited to join the mixed group, which centers activity on volleyball and basketball.
