Somebody had decided to move them down to the cafeteria at the high school. More fun! It wasn't fit for man or beast • 16 venture forth Into the night, but Lloyd Freund had phoned to invite us to the annual baseball dinner at Hettermann's in Johnsburg. We aren't in the habit of missing those delicious dinners and jolly good times so away we went. Our glasses steamed over when we hit the door, * but knew we were in the right place the minute we saw Joe Frett. Seems we have been meeting Joe at Johnsburg baseball pow-wows since Abner Doubleday started the game. •mm * *- Lloyd, who has been in a Tiger uniform since he was 14 years old, announced that he hopes to continue playing, but Would be stepping out as .manager. ^ The Tigers had good crowds and a successful year financially. Their only trouble was that not enough players turned out for the team. This seems Strange in Johnsburg. However, we think several younger players will be out for the .team in '63, „ Talk * got around to night baseball and" il was gerfft-ally agreed that at least one athletic field in the county should have lights for Baseball. Hurricanes Win Little 8 Crown ' At Burlington *n»e Marian Central tygtfi school Hurricanes, led by Coach Joe Gubbins, ripped and roared their way thru the Little Eight. Tournament held at Burlington, 111., last week. Beating Kaneland Friday night by a score of 56 to 49, the Hurricanes won the first tournament in their school's short history. In the opening game Tuesday night, Marian found themselves pitted against a determined, aggressive five from Hampshire, 111., who didn't know the word quit. After being on the short end of a 17 to 8 first quarter score, the Whip-Purs matched points with the Hurricanes, each team scoring a total of 35 points for the next two quarters. The last quarter of the game proved to be a shooting nightmare for Marian as the Hurricanes could score only six points. But, fine ball control and defensive work put the cap on the game as the final gun sounded and the Hurricanes won the game 58 to 56. Thursday nighi found Marian playing Genoa-Kingston,. of Genoa, 111., in the semi-finals. The Cogs, pre-tournament favorites, gained a 31 to 29 half time lend, but with soph. Paul Nitz of McHenry back in the lineup after missing several pamcs with an ankle injury, Marian bounced back to outscore the Cogs 31 to 19 in the second half and gain a 60 to 50 victory. The clutch shot of the ball game was provided by Ken Stilling with a little over a minute left to play and Marian with a short 52 to 50 lead. Teamwork was Iho by-word in the scoring column wirh four Hurricanes in the double figures and with Wally Bowman and Ed Crowley splitting chores and scoring five points apiece. In the final game for the championship Friday night, Marian went up against the high scoring Kaneland Knights, who in Thursday night's semifinal against Hiawatha scored 50 points in the first half and i total of 81 prints for the game. With a 30. to 26 deficit at half time, the Hurricanes again called on their fine defen sive team to provide the action in 1he third quarter, holding the Knights to 2 points and a total of 19 points for the second half. Rex Hosier led the scorers with 21 points, followed by Gary Vycital's 13 and Pnul Nitz's 10. An interesting feature noted in this tournament was the ability of the defensive team to hold their opponents to a 19 print second iisif average for 1he last two games. A thrilling championship for a well-coached team. Football didn't draw a handful of followers before night games in high school circles They pack 'em in now. Of course, since the 5-day week came into style, more people can attend Saturday afternoon games. And leagues playing on gpqflay afternoon do real well. General opinion around the table was that our national pastime needs more encouragement in high schools colleges and minor leagues. One strong opinion was that schools build l&rge gymnasiums and modern football fields (both lighted, of course) so why not add a small percentage to the bond issue, and. include lights for * baseball. These wem fellows and their ladies fair who love all sports, but this was baseball's night and consensus of opinion was that our national pastime must ' retain its rating. It was another good night and when the 4 time came we weren't anxious * to say Good Night. It was baseball again Sunday night when we attended the seventeenth annual Pitch and Hit Club banquet in the Morrison hotel with Joe Etten and Art Jackson. The Millers and the Hallers were there, backed by relatives and friends. (Yep. Joe Frett was there.) Nick Etten, who spent nihe years in the Major Leagues, and Chuck Hiller, who hopes to spend at least ten years up there, were among the guests of honor. Both received nice plaques to put in their trophy rooms. What a program! Comedian Dick Gregory set us up real good. Then along came the main speaker, Red Jones (former umpire^, and he brought down the thunder from the skies. With mostly tales about umpiring experiences, Ol' Red had us laughing 'til we held our sides. Baseball writers have their own banquet, then seem to shy away from this annual event for the players. But 550 men left there with top sirloin in their stomachs, joy in their hearts, and laughter in their eyes. Wc McHenry Countyites were glad to shake a paw again with Bill Gleason, Chicago American sports writer, who spoke at one of Marian Central's banquets. It wasn't a week ago that we were in a crowd that well-remembered the way Bill humorously picked up remarks of previous speakers in toastmaster fashion, then took us down a trail that ended on a spiritual note. It was a well-rounded talk that held the interest of both young and those who used to be young. Nick Etten's three sons attended the banquet. And a finer threesome of young fellows you won't be finding. Of course, none of us are superstitious, but athletes do the darndest things. Baseball players have been known to refuse to change uniforms or have them cleaned during a winning streak. Last year Paul Morenz and John Rourke dyed the laces in their shoes n vivid orange. Right away they started winning basketball games. . John remembered the stuVSo, with the Warriors not going so good this season, the team gathered for a dye job. What happened? All they did was beat Libertyville in a real humdinger of a game. What else happened? You will haye to ask Mother Rourke how her kitchen looked when the dye party was over.

WARRIORS NIP LIBERTYVILLE IN 49-48 THR[LLER The McHenry Warriors picked off their greatest triumph of the current season Friday night as they beat the visiting Libertyville Wildcats 49-48 on« th# strength of a great second half effort. Led by Lloyd Smith and Ted Freund the Warriors outscored coach Larry Leon's lads 30 to 18 in the second half to dim any title hopes the Wildcats might have had. Libertyville jumped off to a 17-11 first quarter lead as the Warriors, with the exception of Smith, could not find the hoop. The visitors had extended their ldad to 30-19 by half-time and things looked very bad for the hometowners. An agressive Warrior defense limited the Cats to eight points in the third stanza while the Warriors countered with 18 marks. The libertyville lead kept getting slimmer and slimmer until late in the final period when the Warriors took the lead on a field goal by Fred Kusch. John Rourke added two free throws shortly thereafter to give the Orange and Black a three point lead with a half minute left. A last second Libertyville goal was not quite enough, and the final score read 49- 48. Lloyd Smith " tallied 18 points to spark the McHenry victory and Ted Freund helped out considerably with his 12 points. It was a real team effort however that enabled the victory as each boy contributed in some way to the victory. In the Sophomore game. Rich Smith made two crucial tree throws as the regulation gaine ended which sent the game into overtime. The underclassmen then went on to score a 56-52 victory, their 10th win of the season against two losses. Rich Soda had 15 points for the Warriors and Smith had 14. ^ McHenry 11 8 18 12--49 Libertyville 17 IS 8 10--48 Sophomore McHenry 10 13 11 15 7--56 Libertyville 12 11 14 12 3--52 0 Outdoors CONFERENCE STANDINGS W L Pts.

The first week is designed primarily for outboard owners; it covcrs the fundamentals of boathandling, equipment requirements, and the commonserse rules rf courtesy. It consists (f a short lecture series, color slides, a sound film and answers on recent boating legislation.
