The Patriots held and the Warriors to punt to 26 yd. line. On the first play John Landsell, Pat quar­ terback, was hit by Terry Packard and Andy Saunders, causing a fumble and Tom Jtblonski picked up the ball and ran it into paydirt for the fast score of the game. The PAT failed and the Warriors led 6 to 0 at the 6:11 mark of the initial period. The touchdown by Jablonski was a lineman's delight, as they come only about once in a lifetime. «Jaking the kickoff on the 35 tfot Patriots marched the length of the Held for a score. Dan Triplett ran off tackle for 5 yds. at 2:11 of the period. The PAT was good and the Warriors trailed 7 to 6. The Pats went 65 yds in 10 plays for the score.

Neither team Id sustain a consistent toward the goal line. The g was lough, the better itioned Warriors getting best of the duel, and until s final 43 seconds were still in game, when a pass in­ terception ended all hope of a victory. . In .talking with Coach Schlender Sunday afternoon, the young coach had nothing but praise for his Warrior crew. "I was well pleased with the entire squad", the coach said and added "Our kicking game was well played". He also added "Take away that 88 yd. run, when Triplett broke a tackle, and we could have been a winner". However, the genial coach added "Stevenson played well, and you have to give them credit where it is due." In reference to the kicking game the Warriors kicked off into the end zone, the 10 yd. line and 5 yd. line. That averages out to the 5 yd. line, and when a high school team can put its opponent on the 5 yd. line to start a series of downs, that's good kicking. Coach Schlender had praise for his speciality teams, the punting team, and the kickoff and punt return teams. "They did a whale of a job,", he said. The Warriors used a lot of players on Saturday, and they should be praised for their effort, Tim Sabatka, field general, running backs Jim Wilson, Dave D'Angelo, Rob Kalck, ends Barry Anderson, Jim Frantz, Tim Klapperich, Greg Mroz, along with the guys in the "pit, Pete Ritthaler, Terry Packard, Andy Saun­ ders, Jeff Rhode, Tom Jablonski, Jack Jablonski, Mark Betancourt, Eddie Hughes, Dan Freund, Ken Hoff, and the defensive secondary, Bart Decker, Matt Nierman, Jim Johnson, Kevin Lavin, Dennis Adams, Tony Woo, Jeff McNish, Jim Condon and Keith Belzer. One good thing, no serious injuries, and the Warriors should be at full strength against Grant here Friday night. McHenry Steven. Scoring McHenry „ Jablonski, 25 yd. fumble recovery. PAT (no good).

Not Sure The trouble with being a leader today is that you can't be sure whether people are following or chasing you. -News, Savannah. By Randy Swikle It was probably the most frustrating game of his coaching tenure. Mike Heimerdinger, head coach of the Johnsburg Skyhawk football crew, wasn't exactly helpless as he barked out in­ structions from the sidelines of the pigskin contest at Win­ nebago Friday night. But, as any military strategist will tell you, even the very best strategy of the very best general isn't of much use when the troops lack cohesion to implent the plan. And that's just about what happened during Johnsburg's 1979 premier performance which resulted in a 51-6 disaster for the Skyhawks club. Heimerdinger had indicated in pre-season interviews that his ball club had a lot of in­ dividual talent, but he warned that the key to success was the degree to which the team would function as a cohesive unit. It was a number of "textbook errors" that led to a breakdown in Skyhawk cohesion Friday night. "If you can make a mistake in football, we made it at Winnebago," lamented Heimerdinger. "We used up our allotment of mistakes for the entire year that night. Now we'll have to go back and re- emphasize the basics." The Winnebago assault began in the first three minutes of the game with a 3 yard run for a touchdown. During the first half, Indian quarterback Tim Col born connected 30- yard, 35-yard, 19-yard and 28- yard passes to Mike Leden. Two of those tosses were touch­ down passes. At halftime, Winnebago had a 31-0 lead. Johnsburg had not only failed to make a first down, the team also failed to move the ball beyond the 50- yard line. The second half began no better as the opening kickoff to Johnsburg was fumbled on the 40 yard line. Later, when Johnsburg's Jake Breit in­ tercepted a Winnebago pass on the Johnsburg 17-yard line, Skyhawk hopes were raised. But only temporarily. On the next play Ron Miller in­ tercepted a Johnsburg pass and ran 20 yards for a touchdown. Midway through the third quarter, the Skyhawks achieved a first down for the first time in the game. Doug Wickman advanced the ball on a 13-yard run to the Winnebago 34-yard line. It was the beginning of a drive which resulted in Johnsburg's only score of the evening, a 15-yard touchdown pass from quar­ terback Randy Wakitsch to Rick Szumlas. At that point the score was 38-6. Two more touchdowns by Chris Campbell and Steve DeGarmo cinched the Win­ nebago victory, 51-6. "Winnebago had an excellent club", related Heimerdinger. "They threw the ball well, and they did just about everything else well. We never saw them before, and we didn't have a chance to scout them last year. They really surprised us of­ fensively." Generally, Heimerdinger was not at all happy with his players' performance. "We made a lot of stupid mistakes. Our offense did not move the ball, which caused our defense to be on field for all but about five or six minutes of the game." The Johnsburg coach was high on praise for senior linebacker Doug Free, however, "I was really pleased with Doug.! We moved him to tackle, and he made a dif­ ference." This Saturday, Johnsburg hosts the very first game ever on the home field. The opponent will be Grayslake. Last year the Skyhawks lost the season opener to Grayslake 20-14. According to Heimerdinger, the squad could give Johnsburg trouble again this year. "Grayslake looks real good," he says. "They have a real good running back, the quarterback throws the ball well, and^they have an excellent receiver." Kickoff for the sophomore game is at 12 noon.

Our September calendar is jam-packed, some good-- some not so good. For instance, property tax had to be paid. Income tax installments are due on the 15th. To top it off, I have to have some teeth yanked out. On the brighter side is a wedding and a banquet called a "BierStube". There is also a ball game in Comiskey Park if I can find a chaffeur. Seems like a good time to look over those Sox so we can start planning for next year. One thing Bill Veeck must know is you have to have a hitter or two who can hit for distance. It often takes three singles to score a run. A statement made here early in the season still stands. Harry Chappas is not a big league shortstop. Chappas can field what his small size will permit him to reach, but balls have whizzed past him that Don Kessinger could have gracefully gloved. Chappas can throw. That's a But, a little guy like him should make an ideal lead off man. Trouble is he can't wait. He has to start swinging. Harry Chappas may be the darling of fans. But, let's give him more time. SUDDEN THOUGHT: I can enjoy bacon and eggs for breakfast or any other meal of the day. Changes come and changes go, but Mrs. Olson goes right along with the same coffee. It may be the right thing to do in high school, but when I see pro quarterbacks waiting for every play to be called from the bench it strikes me wrong. There are times like when you have to decide on a field goal or a first down that the coach should take the responsibility. Most of the time I'd like to see a veteran quarterback call his own game. A fall and winter mail order catalogue came to our house this week although we are not much on ordering things we need. Kids used to sneak preview the long underwear section and have a good laugh. There were some smart remarks when mothers hung long ones out to dry in winter. They froze stiff as a board and swung in the breeze. Guess my greatest pleasure with the catalogue was to turn to the pony saddles, bridles, harnesses and any other equipment I longed to own. If Herman Franks decides to retire as manage of the Cubs and spend more time clipping coupons, Marie Yegge is ready and willing to take over the team. She's "regusted". Up, up, up we go! Had to drive a few miles to find a small item I couldn't find in McHenry. I paid $2.75, no questions asked. Glad to get it. But, sometimes you get a shock. I stood a few feet from a marker-upper and watched him erase a 34 cents price on a flock of containers and remark them 43 cents. The name of the game and the blame is known as inflation. Had an item in the last column about a visit to Mur­ phy's for a "bite and a bit of cheer". It came out in print as a bite and a bit of beer". Well, it was close. We still don't have the pic­ ture, but a late bulletin from the Bears' camp says that George Halas and Marie Corso stood beside his cadillac when their picture was taken. With Dick Rabbitt at the controls, we headed for Adlai Stevenson High School near Halfday Saturday afternoon to see our Warrior football team do battle with the Patriots. Dick's report of the game will give you the details. We lost by a 14-12 score, but saw the Warriors put up a great game against a team that many thought would clobber them. McHenry's defense was superb and the offense showed imagination. ^ Don't expect a great Warrior team this year. Just watch an alert group of husky young fellows trying different ways of winning football games. It should be interesting. Removed the price tag when I returned home and found two more underneath. One was for $2.25, the original was $2.00. I seldom ask prices - either buy it or move along. - There wasn't loo rfiucii time for promoting the event, but Dick Doherty, Jr. was one happy fellow with the cooperation of Fox Hole "Red" and Evo in the "Autographed Baseball * For Muscular Dystrophy" fund raiser. Marian Cross Country Boys Down Cary-Grove Chalking up their second win in as many meets, the Marian Central Hurricane cross country team downed Cary- Grove 32 to 24 in competition last Friday. Finishing first and second were Paul Sandall, from Spring Grove, and Mike Eisele, from McHenry, with times of 16:51 and 16:55 respectively. Brad Gregory came in fourth place with a time of 17:21 and Bob Weltzien finished in the sixth spot with 17:55. In the 11, 12 and 13 places were varsity runners: Marty McCormick, Andy Mass and Gary Dernelle, posting times of 19:09, 19:16 and 19:17. The frosh-soph team lost 24 to 31.
