SPORTS POINTERS With the growth in our community and the ex­ panded sports section of the Plaindealer, your sports department finds it necessary to ask for added cooperation. Send in typewritten copy. Some handwritten reports are too hard to decipher. When names are not legible there is a problem. Double space for editing. Write on one side of the paper. Do not try to crowd too much on one sheet In most cases, reports have been meeting the deadline. Late ones have to be held over. If you are releasing the same news to other papers, mark the release date. That makes it fair to all. Remember --- The Plaindealer comes out on Wednesdays and Fridays Fees and prices have to be taken out of news stories. (They are for the ad department). "Thank you" notes are not allowed in news stories. If you are mailing copy, address it to McHenry Plaindealer, Attenion Sports Editor Efforts of many con­ tributors are greatly ap­ preciated.

"He's a real hitter and displays excellent desire, strong, quick, aggressive and durable." "Top notch high school both- way performers like Art are top priority in college recruiting circles today, and I'm quite certain Art will be an asset to the entire Lakeland com munity," Thome commented. "Art's position versatility will indeed help him find a spot in the Lakeland lineup " Presently, Mike Roberts, a 1975 graduate of McHenry. is a starting offensive tackle and captain of the Lakeland team Mike is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Emitt Roberts, 3601 N Middle avenue.

C. - Curt Flood, who kicked up quite a ruckus when he was traded by St. Louis (to Phila­ delphia), and wouldn't go, and who had much to do with creating free agents is back. He's a radio announcer for Oakland games. His former actions are still controversial but a comment he made recently, about to­ day's players, is bullseye. He says they simply make too many mistakes, and believes baseball as played twenty or thirty years ago was better baseball. Flood may have acted like a spoiled brat when he left, baseball and lived six years in Europe, but his remark about today's players is a distinct service to the game. Manage­ ment, managers and league officials don't admit it openly but they all know the standard of baseball is down. That 's because too many of today 's kids are not willing to take the discipline, to pay the price in hard work, to attain proficiency. Anyone watching Major League games today, who knew the standards of decades ago, sees error after simple error, wild throws, missed balls, uncaught fly ball, etc., which shouldn't often be seen. They're now seen daily. But clubs fire managers who are strict disciplinarians. Scorers call errors hits, to help. And managers and'oth­ ers make light of goofs on the field. Flood, however, tells it like it is. The standard of defensive play today is scan­ dalously down. KEEP QUIET He Did At the rodeo an agile cow­ girl rode beneath the horse, on the horse's neck and almost on his tail. One of the party remarked: "That's nothing. I did all of that the first time I ever rode a horse." FREE FOR FALL There's no time like now to go Polaris.

LY Driver education is a life­ long process. In fact, every­ one who drives should evalu­ ate their skills in observation and car handling. Here arc some day-to-day tips on driver improvement: • Watch out for pedes­ trians. They never look after leaving the curb. Once in the street it's your problem--not theirs. The kids run, the old folks shuffle and the others walk without looking. Be in tune to the fact that they are not looking <gand watch for their interests as well as yours. • Personally accept the re- sponsibilityifor safe driving. The more a driver anticipates problems, the better situa­ tions can be handled. • Have an "escape hatch" planned. When you are on the expressway, you never know when a driver will descend the entrance ramp right into your lane. • Be mindful of all of the alcoholics on the road. The Automotive Information Council says one of six cars is driven by someone who has been drinking and one out of 60 cars is driven by a serious drunk. The Council suggests drivers slow down and watch carefully when passing a tavern. Could be the cars leaving have an intoxicated driver. Assume the worst and prepare yourself for all sit­ uations. The AIC finds that many companies with fleet cars and trucks are teaching driver improvement techniques to their employees. The basis of most programs is building an awareness of road problems and developing coping mech­ anisms to handle a variety of situations. • * * A message to teenage driv­ ers: Now that you have your license to drive remember that the license is a privilege, not a "right." And the pri­ vilege can be taken away should you disobey thu law. Far too many of you young dr ivers , in the exubtrance of your new-found freedom, be­ come careless and therefore car-less, losing your licenses within a year. For example, in Michigan more than 5,000 first-year drivers had their licenses re­ voked, and the rate of sus­ pension or revocation for those between 16 and 20 years of age is double the average rate for all drivers, according to the Automotive Information Council. With the privilege goes the responsibility of driving in the manner you were taught, including not drink­ ing, keeping the car under proper control, not speeding and, in general, being a good citizen. Teenagers have marvelous reaction times and good eye­ sight and therefore"think they can handle any situa­ tion. Unfortunately this is a false sense of well-being be­ cause they have not had the driving experience to maxi­ mise judgment under severe conditions. Drivers under the age of 20 account for 10 per cent of the total number of drivers, but they account for 18 per cent of total accidents and 16 per cent of fatal accidents, PAGE 7 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, AUGUST 18, 1978 according to the National Safety Council. These statistics sre cited by insurance companies as the reason for the much higher rates for younger drivers. - The Automotive Informa­ tion Council points out that driver error or improper driving is a factor in 85 per cent of all motor vehicle accidents. Therefore, the finger of blame must be pointed at . . . not at the car on the highway. **.'
