Of course, they won 8 games, but losing 3 was Unpardonable in the minds of those expecting the team to win every game every year. r Many teams are expected to have perfect seasons in foot­ ball. Not so in other sports. An 8-3 record for our Warriors Jvould suit us just fine. * A note from Frank Repp, Crystal Lake, tells that McHenry is leading the field in Inquiries for tickets to watch the famous Globetrotters Sunday, Dec. 21 in the Crystal Lake High School Fieldhouse. * Naturally!

Must do something about that. Wouldn't know what the big attraction is at Overton's, but famous athletes seem to find their way there. Had a call from Bob O'Neil recently asking if we would like to meet Oscar Robertson--the "Big O" --of basketball. Sure we would. The big fellow looks to be in shape to play right now, but has other irons in the fire such as broadcasting games and operating a construction business in Cincinnati. After a short visit, we rate "Big O" as a fine fellow. Each year we pause at Thanksgiving time to con­ template. This year WE ARE THANKFUL FOR dreary days. They make us appreciate the sun­ shine.

Warriors In Season Opener At King Korn Vs. Big West Aurora Team By Dick Rabbitt Coach Ken Ludwig will take his "Fighting Warriors" to Sycamore this afternoon where they meet West Aurora at 3:00 P.M. in the King Korn Tour­ nament. Last year West Aurora defeated the Warriors 70 to 50 in the semi-finals of the tourney, and went on to win the big trophy. They have to be tabbed the favorites again this year. Coach John McDougal. has two returning regulars back from last season's 23 and 4 ball club. The Blackhawks are led by Ron Hicks a 6'6" 225 lb. center, and 6'4" forward-guard Jay Bryant. The Blackhawks are big, in addition to Hicks and Bryant, they list 6'8" sophomore Bruce Johnson, 6'6" Craig Logan, 6'5" Randy Schultz, and a couple of little men 6'0" Joe Michels and 6'2" Larry Hatchett. One thing for certain, the Warriors wtll be giving away a lot of height but Coach Ludwig hopes he can compensate it with speed and accuracy at the hoop. Likewise the Warriors won 23 ball games last season, and will be looking forward to another f H A T r e t i r e m e n t h a s silenced our alarm clock. THAT big firms have computers to blame for mistakes. They used to blame "a new girl in the office." THAT a certain person has not turned our last old hat over to the Salvation Army. (May have to wear it to bed to s a v e i t ) . banner year. Senior Steve Koerber, a two year letterman, along with Tommy Ludwig and Terry Reilly will fill three of thej starting positions. At this time Coach Ludwig was undecided on the other two spots, but you can bet he will find the right combination. If the Warriors win, they will play at 1:00 P.M. tomorrow, and if by chance they should get beat will play at 9:30 A.M. tomorrow morning. BEING AN ORDAINED MINISTER.

ELM STREET • McHENRY, ILLINOIS 815-385-5400 FOOTBALL * * • By Pete Fritchie WASHINGTON, D. C. - The Green Bay Packers under Bart Starr have a long way to go. The ques­ tion is being asked, natu­ rally . enough, if Starr is too nice a guy to win. The answer to that won't be evident for a year or two and it's also true that the material available deter­ mines a team's record more t h a n a c o a c h ' s a b i l i t y . Starr didn't start with much. But those who attempt to argue that a manager in baseball or a coach have very little influence are rationalizing. So much of both baseball and football is psychology that a tal­ ented manager or coach can and does often achieve wonders. Some feel psychology is as much as forty per cent of winning. The right man­ ger or coach who knows his players can win, who gives them the leadership, strategy and spirit to win, plays a big part in build­ ing a winner, despite dis­ claimers.
