CHAPEL HILL 60LF CLUB NOW BODKIN GOLF OUTING and GOLF LEAGUES FOR 1980 SEASON "EARL WALSH So I Hear % _SP0RTS EDITOR Athlete's Away Lori Vogt, a first-ever female to receive the Outstanding Athlete of the Year award at Marian Central Catholic High, plans to play varsity volleyball, basketball and track at Car­ thage College in Kenosha, Wis., during the 1979-80 seasons. Carthage is a four-year, co­ educational liberal arts college, and is Lutheran Church- affiliated. Lori is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Vogt of 3109 East Lake Shore Drive in Wonder Lake. And then there's the man who misses his wife's cooking--whenever he gets the opportunity. • • » * The man holding pub­ lic office can hardly ex­ pect to please all those who want special privi­ lege and extra favors. A little bird told me. And this little bird could talk over Ma Bell's telephone. What I heard was that Petie Schaefer, a great White Sox fan, went to see his team in Comiskey Park for • a doubleheader The Sox won the first game and Petie was in heaven. Then came a loss in the second game and our hero's spirit hit low, low. What did be do but go in to see the Cubs in Beautiful Wrigley Field the next week. H»at'a what the little bird told me. Like the late Matt N. Schmitt said when somebody told him there was an Irishman buried in the Johnsburg cemetery, "That can't be". It may be just a rumor, but Petie's grandson, Jeff, is said to have lured Grandpa into Wrigley Field. The golfing gals who put in so much time and effort in preparation for the McHenry Women's Invitational at McHenry Country Club must feel like they are snake bit. For the second year in a row the rains came. Some great golfers from near and far braved the storm. Am anxious to see Liz Nolan's report. I watched the championship golfers drive off No. 10 tee then headed for the pro shop to say hello to Vale and Marge before heading for the comforts of home. Baby, it was cold outside! Met the Smiling Irishman, Bob Blaney, wearing a pink crash hat -- or maybe it was a jungle beanie. Judge Herrmann watched the magnificent drives, trying to pick up some pointers. Chuck Cuda, MCHS golf coach with a great record, looked over the participants thinking he might find recruits for his team. Saw Some new golf clubs in the pro shop that must catch a golfer's eye. Gary Adams is manufac­ turing and assembling the clubs in the former Admiral Building right here in McHenry. That should te good for McHenry and, I sincerely hope, very successful for Gary. I wouldn't have given a wooden nickel for the Chicago Bears' chances against Cin­ cinnati after watching the first half. For one who believed for years that your best defense in athletics was a good offense, there was no denying that defense won that game for the Bears. While ^Anderson was quar- terbacking, the Bears knew they were up against one of the best. He had the game in the palm of his htrnd. Thinking of great quar­ terbacks it is a pleasure to recall the days when Sid Luck- man guided the Bears. He threw seven touchdown passes in one game. Of course, no mention of quarterbacks could be made without including Bart Starr, Green Bay's cool one. In my days of watching college football games, the greatest field general we saw was Frank Carrideo of Notre Dame. -= CHAPli MILL PRO SHOP 2500 N. Chapel Hill Rd.

DINNER DANCE - DONT FORGET - On Saturday night of this week many McHenry people will head for Johnsburg to attend the Johnsburg Rescue Squad shindig. ' , » Like all such life saving groups, the Johnsburg Squad does so much for so manV. • • .. T^- The Johnsburg group has need .for larger quarters so need the do-re-me to pay for an addition. So -- have fun and be a sport. Help the Rescue Squad. They certainly help all of us. They do return to McHenry. Met Sophia Kosti with Maxine "Pep" Davis (She's the late and beloved Nellie Bacon's little girl). Sophia said she has lived in Florida the last 20 years. Met another McHenryrite from Florida, Loretta Paluch. Do they all go to Florida? Loretta, everybody's favorite .when she and Andy ran the Palace bowling alley on Green St., was with "Marty" and Helen Conway at the packed- house Longhorn Friday night. & Met so many people we knew out there it seemed like a class reunion. My eyes hadn't adjusted to the chauge from daylight to dimmed light as we entered, but came a familiar voice (like a sonic boom) and John Raber wanted to let me know the Cubs won another game. Sitting nearby and surrounding our table were the Richard Golbecks, Francis Wirtzs, Helen Pepping and La Verne Spohr -- The A1 Jour dans walked past and I felt better. There were some Sox fans in the crowd. 4- _ Ray and Mae stopped fofy greeting. We seem to pick the same spots for our outings. Anna Jung (one of Alvina's favorite cousins) came over to say hello. That's what I like about small town atmosphere. It was quite a surprise to see Florian Schmitt, who has lived in the far Northwest for several years. He hasn't lost that winning smile. _ Asked Diane Fuhler about the Tom Murphys of Beautiful Downtown Volo and learned they are just fine. Must tour out to see them. With our little tummies full, it was time to wave goodbye. Came another voice. None other than Jim Freund, the proprietor,* was asking, "What do you think of those Cubs?" Wunnerful - wunnerful. -- & So -- we left Cub Country and headed West. ONE MINUTE SPORTS 0UIZ 1. Who won the PGA National Championship? 2. Who won the European Women's Golf Championship? 3.

Games to be played August 29: Wayne's vs. Little John's at West Campus (South field); B&H Tap vs. Huemann's Water Conditioning at West Campus (North field); Oaks Marathon vs. Old Bridge-John's Sport Stop at East Campus; Rusty Nail Inn vs. American Family Life at Petersen Park; Raymond's Bowl vs. Uncle Jamie's at Freund field. Three teams still stand deadlocked for first place as the McHenry Area Twelve Inch League enters its seventeenth week. Barring an upset win over Raymond's Bowl only two teams will remain in the top spot after this week, as Rusty Nail Inn meets up with Old Bridge-John's Sport Stop - the winner remaining in a first place tie with the Bowl. Wayne's captured fourth place and a playoff position by brushing off B&H Tap by a score of 12-1. In other games played last Wednesday Old Bridge topped Huemann's 11-6, Raymond's Bowl stopped A.F.L., 18-13, Rusty Nail overcame Oaks Marathon 8-7 and Uncle Jamie's got by Little John's 14-7. The Bridge defeated the Nail in a doubleheader ft.,*fp on June 20 winning a come from behind 19-18 first game coupled with a 13-2 runaway. At the time Rusty Nail had been undefeated and on a 10 game winning streak while the then second place Bridge was 9-1. Since the doubleheader the Nail has won 10 and dropped 3 games. Old Bridge meanwhile has won 9 and lost 4, although most of those losses occurred without the services of their stalwart pitching ace Greg Freund. Freund, who has not had a good year at the plate, is still the player they depend upon with regards to his pitching and defense off the mound. Joe Dehn has been picking up some of the slack with his .632 average while 5 other first stringers are batting .500 or better: Dough Freund (.567), Rick Waktisch (.500), Phil Kiefer (.506). Dave Schaefer (.538), Gary Gilpin (.522). The Bridge also boasts the strongest power hitting in the league with 150 extra base hits contrasted to the Rusty Nail's 79. The Nail has of late been sneaking by teams like Huemann's J 7-6) and last week Oaks Marathon (8-7); both were extra inning contests over teams in the cellar. One of the reasons the Nail has stayed in the pennant race is their defense which leads the league in doubleplays and boasts a shortstop-second base combo which is second to none. Ron Miller is the smoothest shortstop in the league and turns hits into groundouts with his great glove. Ray Thelen has probably come up with more "game saving" super defensive plays from his second base position than any other player in the league. Together with one of the quickest outfields they have helped keep op­ ponents' scores to 5 runs or feweit in 15 contest this year! The Nail also boasts quite a one-two-three punch in Dave Sundby (.571), Twig Miller (.675) and Ron Miller (.622). These three batters hit back to back singles to win last week's 11 inning contest versus Oaks Marathon.

Pat Wirtz Four Divisions Completed Play In City Of McHeniy Tennis Tourney The City of McHenry Tennis Tournament ran into inclement weather this past weekend which forced postponement of Friday and Sunday matches. Those matches have been rescheduled for this coming weekend. In spite of the hot and humid weather, four divisions of the tournament were completed on Saturday, Aug. 18, at A.P. Freund Field. Barb Gilpin and her daughter, Gina, won the Mother-Daughter Doubles with Joe McAndrews and his son, Jim, taking the Father-Son Doubles Division. Both Tim Whitman, winner of the Men's Singles Division (21- 34 years) and Henry Glick who took first place trophy in the Junior Boy's Singles Division (15-20 years), demonstrated outstanding talent and ad­ mirable stamina in their lengthy matches to win their divisions. The Gilpins defeated Cassandra Rhode and her daughter, Melissa, in the finals 6-2,6-2. The Rhodes reached the finals by beating Janet An­ derson and her daughter, Sonja, 6-4, 6-4 in a hard-fought semi-final match. The McAndrews reached the top by defeating Bill Landis and his son, Brian, 6-1, 6-2 in the finals, and Gary Fields and his son, Tim, in the semi finals 6-1, 6-0. The Landis' got to the semi finals by beating Henry Glick and his son, Henry, 6-1, 6-4. Another entrant, Frank Rhode and son, Todd, were forced to forfeit their match due to a last minute scheduling conflict. Whitman played three long, hard-fought matches to win his trophy in Men's Singles. Two of the three matches went to three sets resulting in a finals match where he defeated his friend William Howard 4-6, 6-3, 6-2. It was Howard who singed himself and Whitman up for the tournament and even paid Whitman's entry fee at the time. The two are scheduled to play together in the Men's Doubles Division next Sunday. Whitman won his first match from Joe Johnson 6-3, 6-1 and then went into the semi-finals against Ted Hollander. Hollander took the first set 6-1 but Whitman fought back to take the next two sets 6-1, 6-2 giving him the match in a 2- hour battle. Whitman was down by one set again in the finals against Howard but came from behind to win the match in another long battle which in­ cluded many deuce games. Special talent was also displayed by Howard in reaching the finals.He defeated Jeff Skarboulus 6-2, 6-3 in an early round match that was delayed in order to sweep and dry the court to get it in safe playing condition. The high humidity was also a deterent. Howard beat Otto Dschida 6-2, 6-3 in the semi finals. Other entries in the Men's Singles Division were Hugh McGowan, Bob Farrington and Jim Bowles. Glick outlasted Brian Landis in the first set of the finals in the Junior Boy's Singles and took the lengthy hard-fought set by a score of 8-6. Glick took the second set 6-1. Glick earned his trophy by showing unusual stamina in two of his matches which lasted almost two hours each. In his first round match, Glick beat Mike Ruhnke 6-2, 6-3 and then went into a long, tough match against Jim McAndrews beating him 6-3, 6-2. Landis reached the semi­ finals by defeating Brian Bremer 6-2,6-1. Bremer earned his right to the semi-finals after coming from behind to beat Edward Donahue in a long, hard match which lasted two hours. Donahue won the first set 5-7 but Bremer fought back to take the next two sets 6-2, 6-4. Both boys showed ex- YEAR ROUND TENNIS AT 78 PRICES! ATTENTION ALL TENNIS PLAYERS Now thru Sat.

Submitted by Barb Gilpin GOLF * * * By Pete Fritchie WASHINGTON, D.C. -- David Graham deserved victo­ ry in the PGA, last major golf tournament of 1979. He earned the playoff win over Ben Crenshaw with "must putts" on the first two playoff holes. Remaining steady after he had almost blown the title on the 18th, with a super-cautious chip shot, was the key. Blow­ ups on final holes often leave victims shaken. The Aus­ tralian came back cool enough to win. It was his putter that won it for him. He used it on the back nine of the final round to stay in front of Crenshaw and Rex Caldwell. In his last ten holes (including the playoff holes), Graham's putting was simply brilliant. That's the main rea­ son he reached hole 18 seven under par. Tom Watson blew his chance again on the final day. He muffed a not-too-tough trap shot on hole 11, taking 7, which eliminated any hopes he had then. Only minutes before, he had been four under par and in contention. Could it be that this tour produced the end of Jack Nicklaus' era (he withdrew for the year afterward) and the end of three years' domination by Watson. • * • * People who stand out­ side the church and criticize those on the in­ side have very little to do. • * • • One of the keys to old age is in knowing how to relax and break the tension which builds up while making a living.
