There was reason to be proud as a group of clean cut young athletes received their awards at the McHenry County high school basketball banquet at West Campus Monday night The All-Star players, parents and coaches were in a happy mood as the program unfolded to the point where presentations were made As agreed with Dick Rabbitt. he will write details on the event so I will give it the once over lightly The guest speaker. Hank Raymonds, head basketball coach at Marquette was an a We speaker and what you could easily describe as a mighty fine man Dick will tell you about the players in his report One thing I can't pass up is proud mention of Ken Ludwig receiving the Coach of the Year award. My better half and I are still talking about it and what an interesting team Coach Ludwig put on the floor the past season Man team' that was a fast Only a few breaks like an early season injury to sharpshooter Bob Greve kept the team from going places That's it on the banquet. 6 FREE DONUTS *When you purchase a dozen) Read Dick's report. He was the promoter. Peter Wilt, who is studying journalism at Marquette, came a-callin' and brought a book written about Shoeless Joe Jackson, former White Sox great. The book refers to the Black Sox scandal and is entitled "Sav It Ain't So, Joe!" I'll devour that book. In some good-natured bantering with Buck Peden. Cub public relations man. at the Johnsburg baseball dinner. I suggested that the Plaindealer should be put on their mailing list. Also thought it would be nice to have a Cub schedule -- just in case. Now comes two large envelopes full of schedules. Think I'll take some down to Bimbo's -- Cub headquar­ ters. Maybe some out to Jim Freund at the Longborn. He's another one of those kind. A "Fill 'er up" at a gas station just cost me over 20 bucks and got memories in action. In the early 20's. I pumped gas for the John R. Knox Ford Garage located in the building now occupied by a •tress shop, the Riverside Retail Outlet. When I say pumped, that was it. No automatic pumps at that time. And just one pump. Many visitors came to town in the summer months, most of them coming across the Old Bridge at Pearl Street. They bought gas. Usually five gallons or a dollars worth. Mrs. Niesen's restaurant was just around the corner on Riverside Drive. Home cooked meals, later carried on by Eva Guinto Anderson. Those who wanted to splurge wait to Bidder's Hotel (now the Town club) for the famous $1.25 com­ plete chicken dinner. John R. had carloads of cars shipped in by rail and then had his men assemble them. Such parts as fenders were not attached when the cars were unloaded. The new cars had to be washed and polished. There were many trips to Joe Miller's store across the corner to buy cheesecloth for shining. Ed Buss. Sr. was the bookkepper and office manager. Frank Meyer was the super salesman. George Worts. Sr.. "Hoot" Noonan and George "Butch" Freund were merchanics. Charlie Kietesel had a shop upstairs -- the real fix- it man. He could paint a car or repair a radiator. You name it. He could do it.

Elm St. AraoCodcBlS ( On The Sidelines >:•: By Dick Rabbi" >£ There was a fairly good crowd on hand Monday evening £i at West Campus to attend the Annual McHenry County •!•: ijij; Basketball banquet. Thirty-three boys from around the ijij county were honored along with their coaches. Mrs. |v Eleanor Regelin and her crew put on a tasty meal that ijij jiji was enjoyed by all. Father John Cahill of Marengo, ijij formerly of McHenry gave the invocation, and S.I.H. did a jij: bang up job of introducing the main speaker of the ijij jiji evening, Hank Raymonds of Marquette University. jij! The veteran coach proved entertaining as well as an ijij jiji excellent speaker. He listed four points of his philosophy ijij jiji of coaching. He first said that he treats every boy like his ijij jij: own son, with respect and dignity. The coach went cm to ijij jij: say that he has an open door policy for his players. He ijij jij: commented, "If I tell a boy to do something, I also tell him ijij jij: why". Laughing he said he runs his team like a family, ijij jij: and tries to settle all differences like a father would do at ijij vi home. He believes in telling a boy when he is wrong, and iiij ;i: tries to make any necessary corrections. His credo is ijij £: "Play Hard and Have Fun". With the success he has had iiii •;ii°: at every level of coaching, it must be a good philosophy, ijij In added comments he went on to say that college iiii &: basketball is in trouble. It isn't fun anymore, with agents iiii $ to deal with, gambling on a high scale, and the cheating in i;ij ijij changing of transcripts to get a boy eligible. He thinks iiii ijij that college basketball is more balanced now than ever iiij ijij before, with at least 30 good team în the country. He i£ ijij detests the freshmen rule. It has created problems with jiii ijij recruiting, and the method of determing financial aid to i£ ijij an athlete: In private he told me that he thinks that a freshman ijij ijij should become adjusted to college life, without haviuguall i£ ig the pressure of performing on the varsity level. ^ "It is too much of a burden for some", he added. 4 Hedoesn't believe that the colleges will ever go to the 24 ?i i;i; second clock like the professionals. Claims that the team £ ijij with lesser material, would not have a chance. Stalling and the four corner offense would go out the jiji i;i; window, and the teams with less material would be at the j£ jij; mercy of a more powerful team. He left a message for the young men in the audience, % jiji pick a school where you can play, regardless of the size, jiji :i|i be a leader instead of a follower. He added to all present to *i gi continue their education, ahd said that one out of eight^An :* :£ thousand high school players will ever reach - the :i:i jiji professional level. He is indeed a fine gentlemen, and stayed around after i>i jiji the banquet to sign autographs. A tip of the fedora to Coach Ken Ludwig on his selection 'i-: jij; as the County's Class AA Coach of the Year. Likewise to jiji :i:i the four Warriors that were honored, Len Jensen, Jim jiji $: Johnson, Tony Sroka and Barry Anderson. Ken Swanson's baseball team has won 2 of 3 against ;i;i g Upstate Eight competition, and will try and get Fox 3 $: Valley play underway this week.
