Congratulations, Joe, and Good 'Luck!' ^" by Bert Hagemann The Warribrs experienced their sixth consecutive loss of this still young season last Saturday night as they bowed to a powerful Mundelein squad by a 61-48 margin. Once again the Warriors experienced a horrendous beginning as their shooting remained chilled and forced them into playing catch-up ball once again. As usual, the defense was adequate, and sometimes very .tenacious, but the orpge, • arid black took a;terfr$ic flrub-: bing on the boards from their bigger opponents, and lack of skill at the charity stripe was evidenced by a 6-17 effort. Late in the game, anddownby nineteen points, the Warriors rallied to the go-go chants ofthe scattered faithful, and behind the hot hand of guard Mike Fruend, and the rebounding of junior , Mike Weingart the Warriors : ^unnery from the field are'the pulled to within four points, only Other areas Ludwig feels thatthe to run cold right at the end bnd Warriors need to improve upoib drop once aga^put of conten- Perhaps the a^l^emng is due tion. In ' a conversation with tonight, certainly the w&rnors Ken Ludwig;have any trouble getting themselves up for tradltroubles can probably be attributed to some of the following key factors. first of all, Ludwig feels that the Warriors are not aggressive enough on the boards, and coupling this with the inability of key men to come through leads one to a series of defeats. Poor freethrow shooting, and sporadic this next week Will see that long awaited night when we go against winless Geneva in the Batavia holiday tournament. Hope you are around to see both of them. BOX SCORE - WARRIORS WARRIORS - 48 Smith D. Totals - 1 0 MUNDELEIN - 61 Wrestling Warriors Dundee 31-11 Success was the name of the game Friday night when the McHenry wrestlers had their first home match of the season, and the first ever, in the new ! West Campus Wrestling Arena. ! They performed to- a crowd of . approximately 350, as enthusiasm that has generated for nine years reached a new peak. The orange and black have seven varsity lettermen returning' from a fine 9-5 record of the 1967-68 season. They are Jim Sobacki at 103, Dennis Justenat 112, Guy Hansen at 120, Paul Voight at 127, Larry Cristy at 138, Ken Wahl at 165, and Mike Antonnicelli at 180. These veterans, combined with last years sophomore team that held a 7-1 record, should keep the old spirit running on the mat. Last season the Warriors had one of their most productive records, with a second place in the North Suburban Conference, a District Championship at Barrington, and 6th place at the tough Evanston Sectional with 36 teams competing. ^ Friday night's score was an indication that the wrestlers are not going to withdraw from their winning records. The Junior Varsity also scored a whopping victory 43-15 to balance their record at 2-2. The undefeated Freshmen, led by heavyweight Jeff Frantz, defeated a fine Dundee team 26-24 by a pin in the final match. Early Birds Breakfast at BUI LindwslTs Lampfcghier Cafc 3313 W.
