pass HEAR by EARL R. WALSH Mmmtamt GEOWS AS HOMXooicnia AT MOHS DRAWS m GruttaBd Rice (• r.. V" TTOO muc^ Im already beenl writ- * ten about the "T." And yet it to surprising the number of sidlin , «rs who keep writing in to ask just what the "T" is and how it works. We'll try, with no promise of success, to make it simple--for the last time. •«i '• The "T" doesn't demand -:* old-fashioned blocking or bard body pressure. It depends more on speed and deception. i. It needs a hard-hitting fullback who can split an opened •,'Hne. 3. It needs a fast-moving baek yV who can circle a massed or - tightened line. 4. It demands a good passer •'V:/ who can work with deception and "smooth ball-handling. /These latter three qualities put . heavy pressure on any defense. The greatest pro "T" I ever saw operate was the old Bear brigade with Luckman, Standlee, Gallernau and McAfee, if my memory isn't too fuzzy. They hit you every known way. The greatest college "T" I ever saw at work was Notre Dame's 1943 outfit w i t h B e r t e l l i , Creighton MHler, Kelly and two or three good fullbacks. They fell far away when Bertelli left,*who was not only a great passer but the smoothest and trickiest ball-handler I've seen around. Ask Rip Miller, Captain Johnny Whelchel of Navy or Bill Alexander of Georgia Tech. It's tree that the old Bears and Notre Dame's IMS squad woald have keen hard to handle under any system. Material makes the system more than any system ever made material. And material has made more coaches than any eoaehes ever made material. The main answer to football success is your playing strength--the forward wall and tne backfield-- your man power. And don't ever let anyone tell you a different story. Football coaches have done great jobs. Their general average is the highest in sport. But the best still l»ed good football players to have inning teams. After all, they can't rush out on the field and do their own passing, running, blocking and tackling. • • • Sports Fans* Squawks Sports fans who move up into the 80 or 60-million class, ranging from ages between 10 and 80 years, are certainly entitled to their beliefs, their squawks, their praise and their blame. For, after all, they are the big part of sport, the major part by at least 90 per cent. They pay all the expanses, all the salaries. They make both amateur and pro sports possible. And in too many cases they only get shoddy treatment and take the big shove around by both amateur and professional promoters. They are taken for granted. They are rarely given any consideration from baseball, football, racing, boxing, golf or other sporting directors Tkey are asaally the goats, who have grown aeeastomed to taking tile want of it. Their hardihood and their capacity for panishment is the most amasing featare of sport. They are too often packed in after tiie manner of human sardines at race tracks and other spotting centers. They are too often overcharged. *It has been said there to no law that forces them to take this beating. This is true. But they happen to love their games, whether it is boxtog, baseball, football, racing, golf _ or something else. They are astonished at little courtesies they are so seldom shown anywhere or any time by the hired people who live off their main oatlet for - recreation and entertainment. They are? really an amazing breed. They take it on the chin and on the shin, back of each ear, in the stbqiach and also in the pocketbook. Courses Too Tough Take golf, for example. It has always been my belief that any golf course should be trapped only for the star player. Put all trouble out beyond the 200 yard mark which the average player can't reach. The duffer or average player has Enough trouble trying.to-hit the ball John R. Freund, the man who fixes your shoes, had a great disappointment last Thursday afternoon. FVank Kempfer, as spokesman for those Green Street "help-the-farmers" barbers, advised John not to arrange any fall plowing in his garden. Says Frank, "We'll be glad to spade it for you this afternoon." Maybe the boys couldn't find a spade. Anyhow, John isn't going to believe everything that barbers tell him from now on. "Brenda" is happy this week.. She found a spelling error in oul" column last week (as if that was the first one). Wfe were talking about the new racks at Schaefer's Alleys and wrote the word wracks.;- "Brenda" looked in Mr. Webster's book and found that wrack is a noun meaning: seaweed cast ashore; ruin; destruction; used in wrack and ruin; thin, flyihg clouds; floating vapor. But, wait a minute! That same Mr. Webster says that rack also means "thin, broken, vapory clouds." AU we can figure out is that wrack or rack is something that floats through the air with the greatest of ease. Perhaps like "Brenda" on the tennis court with a "rack-et" in hand. How do you like driving over these new, blacktop roads we have networked through our township? It's a pleasure to get off the cement now. Hie boys from St. Mary's-St. Patrick's school were in to report that they beat the Public school fooball team 13 to 0 last Saturday. There is goi^g to be another game next Saturday so watch for a hot contest. * Art Jackson, enjoying a vacation from duties in Uncle Sam's Navy, rolled a 244 game in ft pen bowling. Must have had some target practice. FINANCIAL NOTE-- Young man who gets paid on Monday and is broke Wednesday would like to exchange small loans with someone _ who gets paid on Wednesday and' is broke by Monday. --T. P. That was a great pitching battle at Johnsburg last Sunday when the home club put over a run in the ninth to break a scoreless tie. Both third-basemen had a busy afternoon. Bill Funk was on third for Woodstock and turned in a neat performance. Jimmy Freund, Johnsburg's third-sacker had his troubles on two ground balls, but on each occasion sparkled on double plays to erase the damage. The County Championship baseball game between Johnsburg and Richmond will be played at Johnsburg next Sunday. Richmond players kept in stride as best they could by playing postseason games. These two teams have been wellmatched in games this season and should provide another great game next Sunday. Johnsburg, having won two rounds of play in the season, will have to win only one nme to, be declared the champs. Richmond murft win two games to win the honors. So--well all be on deck next Sunday to watch **WhAt may be the last game of the season. Johnsburg had better end it quick or they may be batting snowballs around before they can decide on who tin champs really are. The duck season will open next Sunday and last 80 days according to latest reports. Bag limits on most ducks will be 10. Live decoys jand feeding will not be, allowed. The season on geese will also open in McHenry and Lake counties October 1st this year as an "experimental" plan. Guns will have to be^plugged to a limit of three shells, but that won't bother most hunters. Some of them don't have more than three shells. Word comes in that the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad^ will continue our extra train until October 27th at least. Here's a little tip. If you would like a train ride be- „ tween now and then, for the lovebt get his bogeys. Why should he ja-mike board the rattler in McHenry. Let 'em know that we want that train to stay on during the entire year. This may be a peach of summer resort. But, what the to is wrong with it in winter! Nothing --as we see it. if; pay uncounted millions to make his p>lfing life more miserable? We have built too many golf courses against the skill of the pros and the crack amateurs who, after all, give most of their life to golf •'•and who pay nothing in return. Who cares whether a pro Shoots § 63 or a 58? Why build courses to keep him from breaking par on courses which the average golfer can't handle in a 9S? 'The Nelsons and the other parbreaking" stars are a breed apart. Let them go around in even 3's. Who cares? But why (keep punishing the If per cent who pay all the freight? Golf is our greatest playing game for everyone. It is a friendly and a companionable game, demanding its share of psychology, philosophy, sportsmanship and nerve controlas well as physical skill. | School Dase j Teacher--When you grow up, Pa sure you'd like to possess certain S|ood qualities, such as truth, hon- ' esty--and what else?

St. Mary's of Woodstock will furnish the opposition.--And that's always plenty of opposition! From the student body at MCHS comes this message: "Arch Ward, the famous Tribune editorialist, has been invited to the Homecoming game October 12, at 8:00 p.m. Whether or not he is coming cannot be said as 'here has been no answer to the invitation up to now." __1 Bill Wolf was as busy as a hen with chicks Saturday night as close to one hundred members of the local boat club and their famiiles gathered for good eats and a good time. * George "Yatz" Frisby says it's too ; ibad that the Cubs couldn't have played the White Sox in the World Series. It always ends in four games. "Elastic Ft A xtiwlftastic foam has been invented which is lighter than glass, wood or cork. It has splendid insulating qualities*. ' -y. The excitement is growing greater as the day of the M. C. H. S. Homecoming , approaches. The students will be caHed together in the gym on Friday afternoon for a pep meeting, at which Earl Walsh will be guest speaker. Fred Svoboda, captain of the football team, will introduce the squad to the group and then the students will practice the football yells. Immerdiately following the meeting, the students will gather in front of the school for a parade. The team will ride on a wagen following the ..band which will be marching. Some students6 "will march, while others will ridt? in decorated cars or on bicycles. All are asked to dress as "Hobos" for the parade. Judges will select the best "Hobo" and the best decorated car and bicycle. "* The game between M. C. H. S. and St. Mary's will start at. 8 Between halves the band will play and prizes will be awarded to the following: A woman graduate of McHenry High with a son on the Varsity team;"the oldest alumni football player; the oldest alumni; and the youngest alumni. Awards will also be given at that-time for the three winners in the parade. All alumni are asked tcf please register at the main desk on the south side of the building when they arrive. Each one will be given an identification to wear. The letter men will receive small M's and the others will receive ribbons with their class year written on them. Sandwiches, doughnuts, hot chocolate and coffee will be sold by the Homemakers Club at the south entrance to the building. This food will be on sale all during the game and the dance to follow. The dance will begin in the high school gym as soon as the game over. Everyone is invited to attend this dance given by the Senior class free of charge.
