Warriors Retain Conference Cross Country Crown by Bert Hagemann The running Warriors suc­ cessfully defended their North Suburban Cross Country crown this past Friday on the hilly terrain of the Crystal Lake course at Veteran's acres. In an impressive show of brute power the Warrior blazers captured the first four places and a 23rd to easily crunch the rest of the conference contenders. Brad Pictor added another win to an already glowing list of victor­ ies as he became the first Warrior to win the conference laurels since ai</one can re­ member. As usual, junior Keith Hutchinson and Glenn Hampton were right on his heels, and Wayne Smith picked up a fourth place finish in another strong race. Sophomore Terry McGib- bon was the fifth McHenry fin­ isher as he breezed in with a 23rd place finish, and the War­ rior total of 33 points was 35 better than second place Lib- ertyville's 68 points. Coach Don Seaton, the elated Warrior men­ tor, had nothing but great plau­ dits for his gutsy charges, and pointed out that this week will indeed be a big one as Mc­ Henry will compete in the dis­ trict on Tuesday, the 21st of October, and then if winners there, they will go to the most rugged sectional in the state on Saturday. This writer, I'm sure, feels as many people do, a tremen­ dous sense of pride in these athletes, especially the seniors. They have brought a great deal of honor to their school and their community, and McHenry can be very proud of a group of young men who have learned well the lessons of hard work, self denial, and dedication to a cause. Those misty, early morning workouts, and lonely miles of running during the summer are showing handsome dividends, my hats off to you McHenry Warriors. Well done! SPORTS Marian Students Participate In Intramural Football All Marian students have the opportunity to participate in the intramural program this year because of a Common Activity period.

But Black Bart came through with a 547 to pull the team through. He's been talking about it all week!! BOWUN6 TIME GOLDEN AGE LEAGUE McHENRY RECREATION In spite of Geisheimer's 608, of the Meadow Larks, a high series so far this year, they lost two games by 5 and 10 pins respectively to the last place Hot Shots and were bump­ ed <out»of second place to third. Martenden of the Hot Shots a 136 bowler did it with a great 200-165-162-527 count.

TUESDAY THIRTY-NINERS October 7 Bitsy Schaefer 226-490; Jan Pieroni 186-495; Jenny Doherty 194-498; Mary Beth Fuchs 202- 514; Dot Freund 484; Cathy Schlitt 197-516; Paule McMil- x by Bert Hagemann The will of the wisp thin- clads of McHenry concluded their second consecutive un­ beaten dual season of compe­ tition this past week with a runaway 17-44 victory over arch rival Woodstock on the home turf. The finish read Pic­ tor 1st, Hampton 2nd, Hutchin­ son 3rd, Smith 4th, and Weiss 7th as the orange and black speed merchants chalked up another win in conference com­ petition. Pushers in this com­ petition were Fred Stark, Mike Freund, and Bruce Davis as the chilly spectators watched another orange and black blitz of the opposition. However, all was not joy in the Warrior camp as the little Warriors were upset by Tom Rachford and his teammates to the tune of 25-30. This ended over 30 consecutive dual meet victories for the little War­ riors who were fighting a rash of injuries as they took on the powerful Blue Streaks. Terry McGibbon managed a second place finish, followed by John Diedrich in fifth, John Seaton in 6th, Bill Bolger in 7th, and Alex Thomas in 10th. The nar­ row victory by Woodstock ought to give these young men some­ thing to think about for next year as their unbeaten string was snapped with a loud crack. Warrior competition will go on for another week and a half, with state competition and two invitational meets left.

SPORTS EDITOR J A remark from Joe Diedrich reminds us to get cuttin' on a column. Frank Holas says, "Say something good about the Bears and Hawks". Have been reading about that Marengo High football team. They have won 33 straight games. We used to play that school and some bloody battles did develop. Don Howard called and said it is hard to be a sports fan in Illinois this year. The Bears, the Hawks, the Illinois football team, that base­ ball team on the North Side, the McHenry Warrior football team...Not a championship in a carload. Everybody wants to know what's the matter with those teams. Not much wrong that a few scattered victories wouldn't cure. \ Tried a little experiment one day recently. Gave four drivers a break in traffic. Only one, a truck driver, gave us the old thank you salute. The next day we needed a break to get into a traffic lane. Seemed like a hundred drivers looked our way but wouldn't budge. Finally a young man (in his teens) stopped and waved us through. We have had several experiences with young drivers and usually find them ready to help. Let's re­ member those young people are not all bad. In fact, there are some darn nice kids in our parts. SN&atGO SNOWMOBILE PREPARATION It's that welcome time of the year again when snowmobilers should begin commissioning their snow vehicles for the approach­ ing snow season. And that means doing the things necessary to help insure a trouble-free and fun-filled \owmobile season. Actually, according to one leading firm's News Bureau, proper maintenance procedure should have started last spring when the snowmobile was put away for the summer. This would have included such things as washing the machine and un­ dercarriage, cleaning the engine, and treatment with a recom­ mended rust preventative oil. The following steps are recom­ mended for preparing your snow­ mobile for its first run this winter. 1. Tune up the engine as out­ lined in the manufacturer's servicing manual or by a ser­ vicing dealer. 2. Lubricate all points as speci­ fied in the Owner's Manual. 3. Adjust the t/ack for proper tension. 4. Check skis for proper align­ ment and adjust if required. 5. Check and adjust the brakes. 6. Check and tighten all nuts, bolts and screws, etc. Mechanical problems, surveys have shown, most often result from improper care and usage. For example,- fuel mixing not done "in strict compliance with the Owner's Manual can mean severe engine damage or failure. The best insurance for the snowmobiler, then, is following the recommendations of his Owner's Manual. If you're not a nuts and bolts person or you're confused by the instructions, take yrJtir snow machine to a reputable servicing dealer. A few precautions at the start, of the season can mean safe and dependable snowmobiling to the end of the season. PG. 6 - PIAINDEALER WED.

Some of the players are playing "tough" ball and head coach Tom Parker has been keeping a close eye on the progress of some of the boys. MADMEN EDGE DEVIIJS In the Junior-Senior divis­ ion, the Madmen have jumped off to a slight edge over the Devils and they have been led by the passing of Chuck Flood and the receiving of Andy Ma- duza and John Johnston. In the line, Kevin Woodroffe, Mike Ketchum, and Tom Regelin have been providing good blocking for Flood's aerial assault. The Devils have a commanding hold on second place thanks to the efforts of Johjv Wickham, Ray Emerson T6m Dawson and Mar­ ty Toren. These boys have play­ ed aggressive ball and have al­ lowed only one touchdown per game on defense. Some of the other stand-out players on this level have been Pete Stilling, Gary Wedoff, Gene Gibbs, Dick Ahrens, George Meyers, Dick Polizzi, Ernie Muzzillo, and Ken Klein. The action on the Freshmen- Sophomore level has been very spirited and the teams have been paired very evenly. The Flunkies and the Raiders cur­ rently show the top spot with 6-1 records. The showdown will come this week when these two squads meet and a big duel is expected between quarter­ backs Chuck Stogsdill (Flun­ kies) and Ron Olszewski (Rai­ ders). These two boys have led their squad up to this point but have had good support from Denis O'Brien, Tim Selgrat, Gary Rasmussen, and Chris Toren. The Flunkies must be rated a slight favorite because they dumped the Raiders 14-0 in the first meeting. The Rejects and the Sweet­ hearts share third place with 4-3 records and might cause some trouble in the play-offs because of the running'of Rich Spadaro (Sweetheart) and the pass receiving of Phil Thennes (Rejects). CRYSTAL LAKE JC'S TURKEY SHOOT ON SUNDAY, NOV. 2 The Crystal Lake Jaycees will sponsor a turkey shoot Sunday, Nov. 2, from 11 a.m. to dark. Shells, coffee and doughnuts will be available. All turkeys are 8 to 12 lbs. Event is being held at Veterans Ac­ res, near the tennis courts. Hovseth Leads Soph Warriors For 18-6 Wia Over Warhawks STATISTICS by Paul Palmateer The McHenry Sophomore Warriors started back on a winning note Saturday after­ noon at North Chicago by de­ feating the Warhawks 18-6ft Their season record now stands at three wins and three losses. The football atmosphere couldn't have been better for the Warriors' passing and running attacks, as they played their best first half of the year. Led by speedie halfback Den­ ny Hovseth, who again carried most of the load, the Warriors running attack piled up 234 yards. While the running at­ tack was being established, Mark Hoffman (filling in for the injured Ronnie Miller) started his first game at Quar­ terback and demonstrated his ability superbly by completing 7 passes for 68 yards. Three of his passes were dropped in the end zone, which would have really ambushed the Warhawks. FIRST HALF The afternoon opened with Mike Stark, who played his best offensive game, returning the opening kickoff thirty yards to their own forty yard line. The Warriors opened up im­ mediately with Hoffmann's aer­ ial attack by completing pas­ ses to Don Prazak and Mike Stark both for first downs. Af­ ter a few running plays by Hov­ seth and Stark, the Warrior attack was stalled by a War- hawk interception, on the twen­ ty yard line. This offensive drive proved to the young War­ riors that they could move the ball by air and by ground at­ tacks. Moments later, after an exchange of punts, the defensive line tackled North Chicago's Quarterback for a safety making the score Warriors 2 Warhawks 0. The Warhawks punted the free kick, after the safety, and again with the combination of running and passing the Warriors marched down the field to score just before half. The score was made by Denny Hovseth, the first of two, from the five yard line. The Warriors now led, 10-0, mostly due to the fine pass blocking by Mike Carlson, Greg Schmitt, Mark Decker, Pat Hig- gins and Tom Bockman. SECOND HALF Things changed a little the second half with the Warhawks passing to their halfbacks out of the back field to isolate them on the slower McHenry linebackers. It paid off once, for a score to close the gap at 10-6. The Warriors didn't budge at this point. They called an end sweep to old dependable Hovseth again, and he rambled down the sidelines for a sev­ enty yard score, stretching the lead to 18-6. Coaches Blankenhorn and Palmateer felt that besides the above offensive there were plenty of defensive standouts like Jim Hurches, Jeff Mike Carlson, Dave Cafl John DeCicco, and Tom Bock­ man. These standouts along with the three different defenses sty­ mied North Chicago through­ out the contest. It seems the Sophomore War­ riors have little trouble when playing out of town (three wins), but at home they just can't get rolling on their own soil (three losses). This coming Saturday they visit Barrington, recogniz­ ed as the best team so far in conference, so conopgutand THE WARRIOPS. Rushing Att.

"We'll be known as the New Jersey Reds and we have ex- , cellent new personnel in the ( lineup," says the veteran red­ head. The "Magicians of Basket­ ball" and the Reds will meet Oct. 28, 1969, 7:30 p.m. at the McHenry West high school, headlining the Globetrotter's fun program. New men on Klotz's squad are such stalwarts as Dennis Witkowski, 6-8, captain of Fordham university's cage squad last year; Dan Gallagher, 6-5, a star of St. Francis col­ lege of New York; Bob Smith, 6-3, Colorado State college; Charles Melvin, 6-6, Pomona college, Calif., and Matt Spin- ella, 6-5, Jacksonville univer­ sity, Fla. Experienced pros are Ed Maher, 6-3, deadly outside shooter from Mississippi Southern; Sam Sawyer, 6-5, of Atlantic City, N.J., and John Fitzhenry, 6-7, from St. Fran­ cis college of Loretto, Pa. The indestructible Klotz, who at 5-7 is the smallest player in major pro rank*, will be back in uniform, still featuring a two- handed set shot. Klotz played college ball at Villanova and later was a member of the champion Baltimore Bullets in the old Basketball Association of America, predecessor of the NBA. He has owned independent pro teams for years and they've all been capable. He builds a team to travel and play the Trotters with great care and imagination. That's why the Jersey Reds have speed, height and power. "Pd give anything if we could beat the Globetrotters back-to- back," he says. "We have a good, sound pro team. We've beaten the Trotters but we've never won two in a row from them. That's my great ambi­ tion." "Back up, everybody.
