' I 'T PAGE 6 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY. JANUARY 3,1975 Four million bucks! Reports have it that_ "Cat­ fish" Hunter received nearly thai much to sign with the New York Yankees: > EARL WALSH So I Hear iSPORTS EDITOR I Most you know that Hunter got loose from Charlie Finley and the Oakland Athletics through winning his charge before an arbitration board that Finley hadn't l ived up to the terms of their contract. What goes in the world of sports? That 's too much money the fans will have to pay. Who knows whether Hunter will have a winning year in '75° His past record is real good. That doesn't mean his future greatness is assured. We don't blam^an athlete for getting all the jnoola he can squeeze out of the owner. Nope. It is the owners who let themselves be drawn into a bidding game that ruins the sport. If ypur son shows any ten dency toward athletic great ness, don't raise him to b President. The pay isn't near aj high . . . . Now the Christmas trees come down and we look for­ ward -to a new year with our fingers crossed. That Kankakee basketball tournament must have proved to everybody that Coach Ludwig's Warriors are for real. They mixed with top teams and came through in style. The schedule tells us we won't see the team in action until Friday of next week when Mundelein plays here. Just watched Southern California edge Ohio State 18-17 in what mus^go down as one of the greatest thril lers in Rose Bowl history. We could imagine Mean- derin' Mary jumping up and down with glee. Sports news is as scarce as hens teeth for this issue It may perk up at the last minute. Should expect these dry spells It happens every year after the holidays. Man -- did we have an ex­ citing New Year's Eve.! • Sat in our living room, and Jistejied lo Guy Lombardo « t Still get t ired of too much up the middle football . * Snow boots are a .necessary evil in our life. Put 'em on. Take 'em off. Hits us right in the middle. We didn't think Charlie Peterson wouldJever die. But. if most of us can stay around 84 years, we'll be doing well. A one time top notch wrestler, Charlie was a rugged man. More than that, he was one of tne finest, friendliest men we ever knew. Football is coming out of our ears. Have had our eyes on the TV. while trying to put together this column. % Notre Dame has just squeaked past Alabama 13-11 in a game that wasn't easy oh the blood pressure. It was Coach Ara Parseghian's last game at Notre Dame. What a way to go!

Playing four tough games, their aggressiveness, spirit , and fine play won the hearts of the fans present throughout the tourney. Playing one of the tpp teams in the state has to be a feather in the cap of the Warriors. There is no doubt that the Peoria Central Lions were the better ball club, but our Warriors gave them all they could handle. Having played West Aurora in the Thanksgiving tournament, and now Peoria Central, the Warriors have gained invaluable expereince for the long season ahead. This caliber of competition can do nothing but be of great help to Coach Ludwig and his team. Saturday's attendance at the tournament was disappointing to meet officials. With the three local schools all eliminated, Eastridge, Westview, and Bradley, there just wasn't the crowd to generate excitement expected of a 16 team holiday tournament. The crowd reminded me of our home games at West Campus. Plenty of seats available. The tournament took on a note of sadness on Saturday. Clyde Preston a long time friend of this writer and of Coach Ludwig passed away Friday nite after attending the games. Clyde was a Kankakee sporting goods dealer, and was the Warrior sponsor last year. He was to Kankakee sports, what Bailey and Himes are to the University of Il l inois. Warrior fans were well represented, in fact some of them stayed overnight Friday. Besides those connected with the team, the Zellers, Stines, Koerbers and Lunds didn't want to m£ke the long journey home, and then rush back for the Saturday sessions. Quite a few of the other parents were in attendance for most of the sessions, and I know that they are pleased with the play of their sons. Had a nice visit with Joe Gubbins, former Marian Central coach. Joe is now coach at Kankakee Eastridge, and his Eastridge team was eliminated in double overtime by Naperville who won the third place trophy. Joe wanted to be remembered to all his friends in McHenry, and wanted to know if S.I.H. sti l l climbed to the press box for the football games. We assured him that he was a fixture on Friday nights. Had the opportunity to be interviewed on a Kankakee radio station at halftime. One question posed to me was "What type of competition does McHenry paly during the season". When I mentioned that we played West Aurora, and that at the present t ime we were in third place in the North Suburban behind Zion and Libertyville, the announcer replied" If you've a third place team in your conference, I must say that you do indeed play a good caliber of competition. I will agree with him on that, the North Suburban is indeed a tough conference and we do indeed play good competition. Zion Benton and the Warriors both played in the finals of tournaments. Zion met Antioch in the Rockford Classic. Zion and McHenry were the only two North Suburban teams to win in championship brackets. All others were eliminated in the first round, although most of them came bock to win one or more games in consolatioE rounds of the various tournaments throughout the state.
