On Friday night Bill Barry's Indians h$d too much height for the Warriors, as they controlled the boards on both aids of the court for a 61 to 48 win. The Warriors started slow, but midway through the opening period took an 8 to 5 lead, only to see the Indians rally for a 13 to 12 first period margin. In the second period with Hansen and Marks getting easy layups the Warriors fell behind by 10 and trailed at the in termission 31 to 21. Balanced scoring in the third period brought the Warriors a little closer and they trailed by 7, 45 to 88. In the early stages of the final quarter the Warriors trailing by 4, had several opportunities to close the gap, but turnovers began to take over, and they fell behind, eventually losing 61 to 48. It seemed to be a case of first game jitters on the part of the Warriors. They missed several good opportunities to take command of the game, - their turnovers were costly, rebounding was poor along with their shooting. However, the game was a lot closer than the final score. Defeat Sterling On Saturday morning the Warriors met Sterling in the consolation bracket. Sterling having been eliminated by Sycamore on Friday. The defense came to life holding Sterling to 20 baskets, while they themselves hit the hoop 28 times. The Warriors jumped off to an early 18 to 13 lead, and in the second period really went to the hoop scoring 27 big ernes to lead at the intermission 45 to 25. Jim Johnson, Len Jensen and Bob Greve all had hot hands during the scaring flurry. The Warriors had a letdown in the second half being outscored by 10, but still had enough to win 71 to 61. Johnson with 20 led the Warriors. Greve had 18 and Jensen 17. Beat DeKalb For Title Late Saturday afternoon the Warriors again took the floor to play DeKalb for the consolation title. In the first period, with Bobby Zeller and Len Jensen leading the attack, the Warriors jumped out to a quck 16 to 10 lead. In the second period the Warriors again shot the eyes out of the basket scoring 22 to lead 38 to 25 at halftime. They continued their onslaught during the third quarter* outscoring the Barbs 17 to It to lead H id 46 going into the final 8 minutes. They hdd their own in the final period to (nek up the trophy 75 to 55. Bob Greve and Len Jensen led the Warriors each with 21 points. Again the Sycamore tourney was a benefit to the Warriors. After their big loss Friday night they came back with two nice wins. They showed an improvement in each game. The defense played better Saturday, limiting Sterling to 20 goals and DeKalb to 19. As Coach Ludwig com mented after the tourney, "Our shooting was good, especially the last two games". He also added, "We got three games under our bdt, which could help in the coming season"; Another comment by the popular coach was the fact that, '"we need to execute better our offense, especially in the area of setting up the (days". Although the Warriors won a trophy, I am going to have to give a couple of negative comments, along with Coach Ludwig's positive com ments. I think the Warriors must learn to play as a team, I saw a lot of individuality during the tournament, and if the Warriors are going to be considered for the Fox Valley, they better learn to play together as a team. Forget yourself, and think of the team. Another item I noticed is that there is no team leader. Someone has to take charge and be the boss on the floor. "" V'" The Warriors have the man, he is goinjg to have to take it upon himself to take ova- as the team leader. I hope by Friday night when the Eagles of Jacobs open the home season, that these two negative comments have been solved.

After a fast start, winning the first two games against Lake: Zurich, 46-42 and Round Lake, 52-48, the sophomores dropped the finde 40-33 to a charged up Wauconda squad. This left the Skyhawks with a 2-1 record in the round robin tourney and a tie for first. However, Lake Zurich won the title on the basis of fewer points scored against. The (day of the young Skyhawks had to be en couraging to the Johnsburg fans in attendance as they look forward to the tipoff of Conference play this Friday at Marengo. Though in consistent, the sophomore team showed moments of excellence. Tom Pieper paced the Skyhawks in scoring and rebounding during the tournament. All of the sophomore Skyhawks contributed to their fine second place finish with sometimes excdlent and always spirited play. He Did? God made women without d sense of humor so that they could love men instead of laugh at them. -Eagle, Dotham, Ala. ANDLOAN ASSOCIATION 1209 N.
