pJ5y 6/ - PLAINDEALER - WED., MAR. 13# 1968 Irish Of St. Patrick's Win In Overtime To Close Fine Season Under Coach emmar The Irish of St. Patrick's, under Coach "Hezzie" Miller closed another fine season last \S&ek with an over-time victory Otfer Our Lady of the Wayside of Arlington Heights. This gave second place in the Northwest Catholic Conference. Although St. Patrick's is the smallest school in this league, they have been either the champion or the team to beat for the past five years. This year the local quintet hung up another impressive record with 21 victories and only 4 losses, 2 of these in conferenc play and 2 in tournament competition. In addition to winning the American Legion Tourney for the third straight year and retiring the traveling trophy they placed second in the Dio* cesan Regional Tournament at Elgin. They lost in the finals to St. Patrick's of St. Charles, f$!io w.'iiif on to win the Grand Championship of the Rockford Diocese in Aurora last Sunday. There is hope that the area high schools, Marian Central and McHenry, will discover promising players from this squad and the other feeding grade schools. St. Mary's, St. John's and Johnsburg Public each won their respective conference titles and McHenry Junior high finished second, Harrison did not finish high but showed some evidence of some fine coaching. % It was a whoppin' big crowd that gathered in the Marian Central gym Saturday night to see the Texas Cow girls play a group of former athletes from the Marian Fathers Club. so I HEAR By Earl Walsh to college. Learn to Read and Riot." ElginYMCA50-Inch Club For Boys Begins Classes This Week For Swimmers Too bad ws don't get more news coverage about the thousands of good, high class young people in our schools. It was a bundle of fun, but the Cow Girls looked tired. They needed their ponies. When we saw the Texas gals some ten years ago, they had more zip. They now have many of the old tricks, but the execution is slower. The cheerleaders were really something. Ted Pitzen was a lot of woman in female attire as he and a group of fathers put on a bouncy exhibition to lead the Cow Girls to victory. Some of the mamas dolled up in special costumes to put spirit in the Fathers* Club team. They were cut-ups. The preliminary game between the Marian Sophs and faculty was a good one with plenty of spirit. The crowd whooped and hollered through this one. Saturday afternoon Harvey Nye came dashing through our office door to tell us a flock of geese had just flown over and were heading north. And he reported that Gertie Barbian had seen a robin in our midst. Spring must be near* Spring will never come without our thoughts turning to George Justen and Holger Pedersen. George always had tickets in his safe for the opening game at Wrigley Field* If the sun shone, the two cronies would sit out ii\,back to talk things over. It took planning to get those baseball seasons under way. ' Big Leagye camps are having a great old time over the new rule to prevent the spit ball. Rule makers have to think up new changes in sports just when things are going along good. After seeing old time pitchers chew slippery elm- and really soak a baseball, we aren't convinced tha' the modern day fingers to the mouth trick is anything approaching the spit ball preparation. We wonder what the famous 01' "Red" Faber would say about the rule, the spitter -- then and now? Looks like Manager Eddie Stanky has so many stars for every position on that White Sox squad that he can't come up with a set lineup. The great teams of-years back used to have a set lineup and nobody broke in unless a regular broke a leg. Trimming squads down to the 25 player limit by opening day may cause some concern, but Minor League managers will be happy to get the players and start off with more strength. Classes for members of the Elgin YMCA 50-inch Swimming club will begin next week. The 50-inch club is for boys who are about 50-inches tall, but too young to join the YMCA, said James Klever, YMCA associate physical director. The height was established because of the depth of the pool. There will be three classes for beginners and one class for advanced swim/tiers during the next 10-week session, Klever said. The schedule for beginners: -Wednesdays, 4:40 to 5:15 p.m., March 6 through May 8. -Friday, 4 until 4:40 p.m., March 8 through May 10. -Saturday, 9:15 until 10 a.m. March 9 through May 11. Advanced swimmers will have class meet from 8:30 until 9:15 a.m. each Saturday from March 9 through May 11. Both boys and girls who are members of the YMCA may enroll in any of the five levels of swim classes now being taught, Klever said. They are minnow (beginner), fish (low intermediate), flying fish (intermediate), shark (high intermediate) and porpoise (advanced). "There is no extra charge for members to enroll in the swim classes," Klever explained, "and members can attend more than 50 swimm'.ng classes a year plus several splash dips." With summer just a few months away, this is a good time of year to teach children to swim, Klever said, so they can be confident and relaxed in the water. "Even if they do not learn to swim they can obtain enough self confidence to enjoy themselves while boating around the lakes." For more information, call the Elgin YMCA, 695-1100.

Shop In McHenry Plan Tasty Nutritious Lunches &***•T When the children arrive home for lunch, be sure that th<> meal you've planned is not only tasty but also nutritious. A well-balanced menu, centered around the four food groups, is important for proper growth and development. The wise homemaker serves cream soups often for she knows that they make a valuable contribution to daily nutrient requirements. All the protein, vitamins and minerals provided by milk as a beverage are also provided by milk used as an ingredient in recipes. Recipes for cream soups, custards, puddings, and cream sauces for vegetables use liberal amounts of milk and should be served frequently. This lunch menu includes creamy onion soup, vegetable and cottage cheese salad, crackers or bread sticks, an apple for dessert, and milk as a beverage. Creamy Onion Soup 4 cups thinly sliced onion 2 egg yolks, beaten 1/4 clip butter 1 teaspoon Worcestershire 2 tablespoon flour sauce 2 teaspoons salt 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan or 1/8 teaspoon pepper Cheddar cheese 1 quart milk Saute onion in butter until tender and golden. Blend in flour, salt and pepper. Add milk and cook, stirring constantly, iTntil sauce is thickened. Add a small amount of hot mixture to egg yolks, beating constantly. Return yolk mixture to hot mixture and add Worcestershire sauce. Heat thoroughly. Serve in hot soup bowls. Sprinkle with Parmesan or Cheddar cheese. Makes 5-1/2 cups soup, enough for 6 to 8 servings.
