We Have, PAQE • - PLAINDSALBR -FMDAY, AUGUST, SI. Itfl EARL WALSH So I Hear SPORTS EDITOR School doors Swing open this £week and everybody wonders vjvhere the summer went. In earlier days when IcHenry was a farming >mmunity and summer litors spent vacation time in midst, Labor Day J^eant it las time to roll up the ewalks. 'Summer cottages were often nothing more than shells with unlined walls. k?1- UJ. The buildings had large por- - ches with plenty of cots for ^crowds. r And crowds there were. I "know people who sold their cottages so they could stay in Hhe city to rest. Too much •jcompany. r _ V Met Frank Rourke on tmw f-golf course Sunday and he was telling about a great time gristing the Don Hoenes home £fnd area. f* Frank says Don is still "^promoting things to help people in his community. As Lonesome George Gobel would say, "You don't hardly find those kind no more'.. Don't blame this one on me. "Zeke" sent it: "A big game hunter today is the guy who switches channels all Sunday afternoon." All the way from Volo came Tom Murphy last Sunday to watch the Club Championship thriller. That Irishman is all over like Paddy's flea. High School football season is just a couple of bounces of the ball away.

The usual grapevine reports that our sea-going golfers have worked hard and long to perfect pontoons to fit onto their carts. Patent applied for. All kinds of signs of fall hit us these days. One store ad­ vertises lawn chairs at 50 percent off. Another place we saw a sign - -- "Clothing, 40 percent Off". What's so great about that? We saw clothes being worn in the middle of the summer that were at least 50 percent off. PICKUPS: A man may be as young as he feels but seldom as important. Things seem to be getting better, but you can't always judge by appearances. For instance, there was a fellow who liked to bet on the horses. He went to the track in a$6,000 Cadillac and came home on a $75,000 Greyhound bus. (Prices before inflation). Coach Gary Gray has 28 girls out for the tennis team this season.

Ed and Art had tied at 295 after the fourth round that saw Don Hojnacki playing well and matching shots but faltering the last nine holes. After a 9 hole playoff it was still tied and then on the third sudden death playoff hole Ed finally won the match. A great club championship with congratulations to Ed on his fine play and also to Art who went down to defeat like the true champion that he is with apologies to no one. Fred Ballstaedt won the handicap championship with a four round net total of 274 Mitch Diedrich, Ron Livily, Bob Kuffance, Mark Robertson, Jim Kothke, Todd Rehberg, Victor Olekewjeu, Dean Parisi, Doug Mitsven, Tom Kucek, Rob Bos, Rich Miller, Tom O'Donnell, Mark Fritz, Jeff Lomax, Laine Clayton, Danny Crook, Jim Steadman, Mark Palmer. Ken Tracey, John Otlewis, Steve Woo, Larry Springer, Mike Love, Mark Hoover, Rich Houge and Steve Olson. follwed by Bob Rager with 276 and Bill Funk with 278. Fred led throughout the tournament and congratulations are also in order to Fred for his victory. In the senior tournament we also find a tie between Jim Gillette and Dick Warfield who ended up with identical scores of 284. Frank Johnson was just one shot back at 285. (Frank, remember the 16th hole during the first round of play?). Jerry Wakitsch was fourth with 288. Playoff in the senior division will be 18 holes and will be played in the near future. The Labor Day Touranment will be played at the club on Sunday and Monday, Sept. 2 and 3 with the last tournament of the golf season - the Past President Tournament starting on Sunday, Sept. 9. To Each His Own "What did you come to college for anyway?" demanded the disgusted Pro­ fessor. "You are not doing any studying." "Well," replied the student, "Mother says it's to fit me for the Presidency of the United States. Uncle Jim says it's to sow my wild oats. Sister Helen says it's to get a man for her to marry. And Dad says it's to bankrupt the family." IN STOCK UHfeon- . MULTI-PURPOSE FOOTBALL $095 SHOES LOW PRICE Just Arrived... HIKING BOOTS New Arrivals Every Day! !

Bill Marsh showed good stamina and talent in an early round match with Kidd. The Mixed Doubles event demonstrated without a doubt that tennis can be enjoyed to the fullest when played between good natured people out to play good, social, congenial tennis. These matches produced the luckiest shots, the lamest excuses, the most agonizing moans and the best laughs among the players themselves. Glenys Bird and her partner Terry Reilly, won the Mixed Doubles trophy by defeating Chris Bennett and Zelinda Paluch 6-1,6-2. Even though the score makes it sound easy, there were many excellent shots and long rally on both sides.

Gilpin Annual Soap Bowl Game Tonight By Dick Rabbitt Coach Joe Schlender will show off his Warriors tonight in the Annual Soap Bowl game at McCracken Field. The frosh will get under way at 6:30, with the sophomores at 7:30 and the varsity at 8:00 p.m. The squad has been hard at work the past two weeks, and the new coach had nothing but praise for his team. He com­ mented "they have been working very hard, they have a lot of heart". He also said "they are a good fundemental team" and further added "the previous coaching staff did a good job in this respect". Coach Schlender had kind words for the seniors on his squad. "They have adapted, to a new sytem, and are showing some leadership". He hopes with the good attitude, the squad will respond with some victories this season. Inex­ perience will be a factor in the early going for the Warriors, but as the season progresses look for the Warriors to do likewise. The scrimmage will be of a controlled nature, with both the offense and defense a good workout. On offense Coach Schlender plans to start Jim Frantz and either Tim Klapperich or Greg Mroz at the ends. Jeff Rhode and Jeff McNish will be at tackle, Eddie Hughes and Kevil Lavin will play at the guard positions. Either Jack Jablonski or Dan Freund will be at center. Tim Sabatka gets the nod at quarterback. Run­ ning backs will be Jim Wilson and Rob Kalck, and the fullback post will be Dave D'Angelo. Remember, admission is a bar of soap, and expect to see a lot of you at the game. ALEXANDER LUMBER CO. 'BEST OF EVERYTHING FOR THE BUILDER' FEATURING COMPLETE LINES OF: •OLYMPIC.
