~T ^ Paige Fotir THE McHENRY PLAINDE ALER Thursday*' March 124/1966 COACH DEPENDS OH LETTERMEN! FREUt®, SMITH, PARKS RETURN FOR SECOND YEAR ON MOUND . By: Earl Wi We have had a^rarrel of fun at Forester bowling banquets in past years so it was with enthusiasm that we accepted an invitation from Dr. Krieger to attend the shindig at the Chapel Hill Golf Club last Saturday night. This was the group from the. Palace and many old friends Were in the party. Two old timers, the Freund boys, Peter A. and Nick B:, are still active bowlers ethd' still active with the knife and fork. • Of course, Harold J. Freund ((he painter man) was in tne group and is fast becoming one 01 tne oid timers. A comiict in their social calendar kept other & reurids, George P. and lviary, from attending for the first time in our memory. Ihey were missed by all. For a friendly group of guys and dolls, you can t oeat mat gang. We enjoyed being with mem. (If they never invite us again, it won't be because; we haven't thrown out a hint). It seems these days when any group wants something, they put on a march. When we were young, we thought of soldiers marching. On Memorial Day we saw patriotic marches. When a kid got in trouble, his parents ordered him to march up to his room and stay there often without his supper. Having long advocated a change in the 5-foul rule in basketball, we are pleased to see it being considered at this time. Many coaches are agin the change. We were out of town on a recent Friday when Keith Ryan of WKRS, asked us to participate in a panel discussion on sports. We had the devilish idea of tossing the 5- foul rule at the panel. It probably would have hit like a bomb. Pictured above are Kit Carstens, Dave Smith, and Tim Freund. If these boys come through this year, MCHS could have one of the toughest pitching staffs in the conference. Coach Hagemann is depending of? many leitermen to carry the load for him this year, lhese lettermen are Rich Soda, catcher; Jim Herman, catcher; Tim Freund, pitcher; Dave.F. Smith, pitcher; and Ron Parks, pitcher. Other important players are Dennis Blake, Pat Camasta, Kit Carstens, Bob Funk, and Dick Doherty. As soon as possible tne team will get outside and practice some hitting. A new hitting machine was purchased and the coaching stall hopes that it wall help the boys develop their hitting eye sooner. All three coaches, HagemannK Fain, and Brooke attended a baseDall clinic at Highland Park March 12. Many new ideas were brought back and will probably be put into use. For McHenry fans, good news! Bleachers will be installed this year for baseball spectators. Games after school start at 4:15. Saturday double headers begin at 10:30. Penalties are dished out in every other sport without putting a player out of the game. What good sports fan wouldn't rather- see a game go down to the wire with both teams having full strength on the floor? Anyhow, these little slap on the wrist fouls called today aren't going to cause physical harm. For tripping or "dirty" fouls, the officials can always toss the offender out of the game. Why not play some trial games without the 5-foul rule and sec how the idea works out? You probably read in last week's issue about Col. Merle Davis retiring after thirty years of service in the Marine Corps. He and his wife, the former Maxine "Pep" Bacon, will be visitng the old home town soon. We are pleased to give you the following poem written for MAG-13 (Marine Air Group) on the occasion of Col. Merle's retirement reception in Hawaii: Lieutenant Colonel Merle Davis, II SMC The year was nineteen thirty six In those ancient days of yore When a young recruit named Davis First enlisted in* the corp They sent him off to China Where he quickly made his name I've heard it said that when he left It never was the same From PFC up through the ranks They watched our Davis rise He took each rating in the corps ^ And tried it on for size McHenry Recreation R.

At last when service on the ground Could ofnothing new He started flying airplanes Cause it seemed the thing to do And if his antics down below Had made the natives stare They hadn't seen a thing till they Saw Davis in the air At choosing wives our boy was wise For love and loyalty Were his forever when he wed The gal they call McGee The years have passed to thirty now Retirement lies ahead And much that he has seen and done Will have to go unsaid We won't forget you colonel Cause you always go for broke May you find a land of promise With a lake of rum and coke It has really teen our privilege For each man'in MAG-13 Can say I served with Davis And I know a real marine.

ADMISSION $1.50 SPECIAL ATTRACTION COMING! APRIL 17TH SAM THE SHAM & THE PHAROHS By Bill Bolger I know that many of you boys are getting anxious to know when registration will be held. This will be decided at a. meeting this week and I will give a full report on registration next week. It will probably be held sometime in mid- April. Now for a report on the teams and their managers. Last year's champs, the Owls good twelve year olds from will be tough. They lost some last years team and it will take some doing to fill their shoes. The Owls are managed by Otto Larsen. The Bluebirds, managed by yours truly, lost eight boys from last year's second place team. This looks like a year of rebuilding for the Bluebirds. The Cardinals have most of their players returning from last year's third place team. The only thing that can keep them from winning the championship would be to have the Cubs or Sox sign up some of their pitchers. The Cards have a new manager this year in Ed Doyle. He replaces Tony Freund who moved up to team president and general manager. The Falcons have some good players returning and under their energetic new manager, Bill Scheid, they could go all t h e w a y . T h e E a g l e s w i t h Jerry Fain as manager will give an all out effort. They may have some surprises in store for the other teams. Perry Walker's Orioles are coming along fast. Look for the Orioles to move up in the standings this year. The Hawks, under Norm Knaack's tutelage will be a good team. They will be in the thick of things to the finish. And finally the Condors under a new manager, Bob Buss, may well be the most improved team in the league. Mark the Condors down as contenders. LATE FLASH! The Little League Board of Directors met Tuesday night and voted to have Little League registration Saturday afternoon April 2nd at the V.F.W. Club house from 12 noon to 4 p.m. Watch next weeks Plaindealer to find out where you can pick up registration cards. Also in next weeks issue will be the area included in McHenry's Little League.

Coach Anderson Tournament by Glen Anderson Basketball Coach The Illinois State basketball tournament has come to be recognized as one of the outstanding high school athletic events in the country. The University of Illinois assembly hall, with its more than 15,000 seats, enables coaches from many different schools to attend. This tournament had its share of excitement and close games. I departed for the tournament with no idea which team would win the big game. I had seen some of the teams during the season but had no idea what the others could do or what to expect. During the regular season, I watched Thornton play, twice. Each time I was really impressed. They had height, speed, defense and team play. What more does a team need? Recent history illustrates the problem of choosing a winner at state tournament time. In the last four seasons, the team rated as the best failed to win. Thornton rose to the occasion, and as someone stated during the .tournament, "They came to play." Even though they had all the tools, they won because they excelled in defense and team effort. All of the teams in the tournament excelled in pressure defense and hounded the opposing players constantly. Guards played a dominant role in the outcome of the games. Names like Crusoe, Kelly, Rateree, Thomas, Woodland, and Wiley became known to thousands of fans. Although defense was stressed, offense certainly wasn't lacking. Two boys hit the net experuy and gained tne admiration of all the fans. Dale Kelly and Joe Wiley both had a good chance to break the tournament scoring record. Keliy, from Gales burg, played in the championsmp game and came close to setting a new record. However, due to Thornton's terrific defense he fell short of tne goal. Vviley, one of Belleville's players, broke the scoring recoru and heiped his team capture third place in the tournament. It was a great tournament and 1 am glaa i had a chance to see all of the games. Someday 1 hope IviLha will attend the tournament fighting for the championship. BAND, CHORUS WILL ENTERTAIN COMMUNITY PTA At the McHenry Community PTA meeting Tuesday, March 29, at 8 p.m. at Junior high school, members and guests will be treated to forty-five minutes of music.
