Christine Roper, one of the girl players on McHenry Jr. High, kept up with Elliott and prevented him from scoring as Pete Merkel and a load of other participants follow the play. Below, Elliott again with the ball, kicked a squlbber that Ryan Olszewski can't deflect with his leg (at left). James Burmeister was content to watch the play from a distance In the game won by McHenry Jr. High, 3-2.

' ./.^OUTDOOR TOPICS ./.^OUTDOOR TOPICS * i t$p" r r B o b Bnw»t»r ANCIENT AN6UN6 METHODS It's interesting to study primitive fishing methods and compare them to modern tech­ niques. Surprisingly, there isn't much difference. Consider the hook. Early man fashioned his hook from stone, bone or wood. We call it a gorge, after its purpose. The gorge is shaped like a needle, sharp at both ends, but fat in the middle. A hole drilled through the thickest part held the line, usually made of slender vines. Bait was placed on the gorge so that it paralleled the line. When a fish swallowed the bait, pulling the line freed the gorge which stuck crossways in the fish's gullet. Nets are not a new method. Archaeologists find impres­ sions of them in long-buried sites, plus the drilled stones used as weights to hold the nets in position in the water. Two ancient techniques still followed by anglers are spearing and noodling. Instead of a stone spear, the modern fisherman has a multi-pronged metal gig. This is a popular method for taking "rough" fish from clear streams and lakes and is legal in most states. Noodling is usually illegal because it causes the loss of large breeding fish. The noodler works under­ water, finding a catfish on its nest and soothing the fish while preparing to lift it from the water. Fish traps, weirs and poison are common methods used today which have not changed for many thousands of years.

Close on her heels was Melanie Frett who captured low net in the same flight. In Flight B Carol Wakitsch walked off with low gross while Ethel Hartmann became the low net winner. Carol was spotted rolling in a nice par on No. 14 to help her win her title. Another Nifty who had a par or two was Martha McCrarv who also earned one of those dubious honors - Tree Leaf Twinky for persistently hitting the same tree a number of times on 13. Fortunately, there were no conservationists near by to call her to task. While the aforementioned was going on the 18-holers were deep into the second round of their Club and Class Championship tournament. Craning back from a rather lackadaisioal round of last week the current champion, Carol Cooney, shot a steady 44-44 for low gross of 88 in Class A. Tied for low net for the day in Class A were Lynn Schmidt and Marlene Smith at net 75 each. Also in Class A, and over the entire field, low putts of 27 were rolled in by Letty Busscher. A tie for low gross for the day in Class B was shared by Evie Castle and Laverne Harpling with 108 each. Low net of 83 in the same class showed another tie - shared by Irene Kinneman and Anna Johnson. Mabel Smith rolled in 29 putts for low putts in the same class. In Class C it was Dorothy Hollander with low gross of 120 for the day while Mary Mutchinsky took low net with 80. Both Dorothy Wood and Trish Sayler got the honors of low putts with 34 each. Jackie Victor had a gross of 131 for low in Class D while still another tie was scored for low net when Betty Wayman and Marcy Wakitsch each had 83. Three of the ladies rolled in 32 putts each to tie for low putts in their class. They were Kitty Evans, Jackie Victor and Betty Gossell. Scores were a bit better in general this week and, chances are, in the final round next week there will be a number of coming-from-behind surges to put that extra zip and excitement into the tournament. Unlike most weeks, nota single birdie was registered on the 12th of August. With the accumulation of rain over the past several weeks, nlus an especially heavy dew, putts were not rolling in with the easy they normally do. And that, folks, is where many of the gals pick up those birdies. However, several chip-ins were recorded. Lynn Schmidt chipped in on No. 5; Mil Leisten and Laverne Harpling each chipped in on No. 7, Mil out of the trap and right into the cup, proving there's other than the standard way ot getting par; Floss Miller chipped in on No. 12 and Trish Sayler chipped in on No. 15. Although there were no major catastrophes spied or recorded, a couple of oddities were noted. Cathy Lundquist's golf mates accused her of looking for Tarzan since she found every rough on the course and just about every major tree - which, of course, wins her the Poplar Leaf Gusto* Award. Using a 5-iron Barb Weber teed off on No. 8 and crossed the mighty Borne Creek by dancing ho* ball onto and over the bridge. Any number of the gals were noticed few their restraint and calm dispositions. Maybe that was the result of Barb Leight's placing SMILE! notices on the tees as she went by. Such a good idea! I Happy Golfing! -- -- Liz SIXTH ANNUAL M.W.I. In addition to their normal golf schedules, the women at McHenry Country Club are busily preparing for their Sixth "Kick the darn thing," came a growl from the sidelines as a husky man waddled toward the action out on the field. Cries from the spectators and groans from the players are commonplace as the action is furious and downright top-notch. McHenry Warrior football is underway, right? Wrong. It's the McHenry version of soccer. Put together by the McHenry Department of Parks and Recreation, the youth soccer program concluded last Monday at Freund Field. Ninety boys and girls from ages 7-12 took part in the local league which started in June. In the 7-9 year division, teams sponsored by West Campus, McHenry Jr. High and Petersen Park practiced during the week at various locations before meeting in league play on Saturday mornings. The 10-12 year division also played on Saturdays, perfecting the footwork of Pele' and the stamina of Kyle Roate Jr. The instruction program stressed skill development, conditioning and sportsmanship. Instructors for the program included Guy Weber, Joe Bauml and Lisa Toole, who joined with Pete Merkel to make soccer a reality in McHenry. . In the 7-9 division, West Campus was 3-1, followed by McHenry Jr. High at 2-2 and Petersen Park at 1-3. The 10-12 division saw Petersen Park and West Campus both tied at three wins and three losses apiece. This winter, plans are being set for an indoor instructional soccer program. For further information, call 344-3300. McHenry Story/Photos By Joel 'wakitsch SHI sY^.* i • Mm Annual McHenry Women's Invitational.
