THE McHENHY PLAINDEALER "W" Thnrsday, February 14* 1963 £<xJt& U/a£&Ju SO I HEAR Sports news continues to be heavy. We ambled in Tuesday to ask shop foreman "Walt" about space and learned that we can pour it in to the .Machine-operators. . - Jt is a bit of a worry when you think some news may have to be left out or cut down to size. How does your spoils page come about? It happens because many good people send us the reports. We check the stories, try not to make many changes, then have the handwritten stories typed and write a head before turning them in to the typesetter. For instance, with so many McHenry boys on the Marian Central team, we were sure that game reports would be of interest locally. We were not doing so good until Mike Wieser gave us a big helping hand. Mike does a real good job. * J* you read the grade school basketball stories this week, you will see that Coach Jim Doran is still performing magic with the boys at St. Mary's sdhccl. Year after year, Coach Doran brings those boys to the top. He certainly doesn't get by with a rabbit's foot one year after another and must rate high in the art of coaching boys •in how to play the game. • Coach Dick Rabbitt, who has been around sports circles quite a spell, remarked after the Friday night game at the high school that Palatine may have a highly rated center, but McHenry has un all-conference guard. He was referring to 'John Rourke. ^ John gave a great perforniance against Palatine, going at top speed all night against much taller men. His floor game was as sharp as his shooting eye. The Warriors were cold as January in the first 3 minutes and 30 seconds. They couldn't s<jore nohow! ' We thought they missed their first 10 free throws, but their demon statistician says it was only 9. How big- those -points would-<have looked at the finish/ Guess those • Fighting Illini found out that free throws win games when they met their Waterloo against Wisconsin. Seemed like everybody turned out for that Palatine game! "Through the courtesy of Bob Beckenbaugh, we got a seat. Big Bob stood up and let two ."of us sit down. WOW! That's what the score sheet shows in back of Betty Clarkename this week. Betty bowled a 226 game in a 590 series. We expect to see her on television any day now. The kid is good! They tell us that Catherine Wagner, who bowls with the C.D. of A. is 70 years old. We don't believe it, but hope she keeps bowling along. DAILY PINUPS Fishing is the fine art of loafing and leisurely bringing in the fishes. The profit from loss is lots more than merely experience. Casual couplet: wine and dine. Some of the things I know I shouldn't, Are actually some I'm sure I couldn't. Some folks live in the past, because they find it a lot cheaper. Being at odds with yourself in no reason to try getting even with others. Promises of being on time too* often carry a lot of wait. Anonymous PALATINE NIPS McHENRY 56-51 IN HARD GAME Rourke Scores 25 In Great Effort Against Top Team The M.C.H.S. gym was packed to capacity last Friday night as the Palatine Pirates, currently on top of the North Suburban conference race with an unblemished 11-0 record, invaded the Warrior den and went home with a hard earned 56-51 victory. It was evident from the opening minutes of play that the Warriors were prepared for Ron Kozlicki, 6'7" Pirate all-state candidate, and the other regulars of coach Dick Kolze's band. The Warrior defense was superb through the entire game and the offense was very adequate. However, the Warrior inability to make their free throws in the first half Was very consequential to the final outcome. The Orange and Black missed their first nine free shots and ended the first half with 3 for 14 from the charity stripe. They hit on all four free throws in the second half. Palatine jumped off to an early lead as Kozlicki tipped in the first of his six field goals shortly after the one minute markv Aggerbach hit on a 15-footer from the middle shortly after and Palatine lead 4-0. By the end of the period Palatine was ahead 12-6. John Rourke ,who played an exceptionally fine game from his back court spot, totaled 8 of his game total of 25 in the second stanza and this enabled the Warriors to stay within ear shot of the Pirates as the half-time count, ran to 30-21 with the Warriors in arrears. Rourke also led the Warrior third period drive as he totaled 7 of the team total of 13 in the period. Palatine was successful on 5 fielders and missed their only foul shot in the period to run their total to 10 for the period. With the score 40-34 starting the last period, the Warriors were still very much in contention. At the half-way mark in the 4th quarter the Warriors were forced to go into an allcourt press to try and steal -the ball. The Pirates were able to take advantage of a couple of defensive weaknesses and scored on a couple of easy close in shots. The press did bother the Pirates in the last 90 seconds however, as the Warriors scored the last 6 points in the game, Rourke had .his finest .night! of the season as he hit 11 and 3 for a total of 25 pdlnts to lead all scorers. Kozlicki had 19 points, 3 field goals of which came in the final defensive effort by the Warriors when he was not "double-teamed." After the game, Coach Dick Kolze of the Pirates had nothing but praise for the superb job turned in by the Warriors. The 56-51 Palatine victory was the narrowest since the earlier meeting with the Warriors.

Rich Smith looked a little more like his old self as he led the Warrior attack with 15 points. Ken Laurence added 9. Offensively it was not a very good performance by the sophs, but they did an excellent job on defense. In the third period the Warriors allowed Palatine just two points, that coming in the final second of the period.

Unfortunately we were unable to get the movies of accidents "hich occurred in McHenry County. However, movies of accidents will be shown. We hope we will have everyone's co-operation Wl attend these movies at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, February 18, 1963. Jack Smith resigned his post as Treasurer and Denny Freund took his place. We also took a vote to raise our dues which a fevwW the members were a little unhappy about. A dance was also talked over and we are now trying to locate a place to hold it. Anyone wishing to join the Coachmen can do so by asking any member for more information. The Coachmen are going to attend the 1963 Auto Show at McCormack Place this weekend. It should prove to be very interesting to all of us. It is right up our alley. By Jim Thompson, Secretary STANDINGS W L Pts.

Coach Joe Gubbins employed a fast break as his major offensive weapon over a team which in an earlier season game made the Hurricanes come from behind in the last minute of pjay to squeak out a one point victory. Rex Hester was the big Gunner as he stepped to the free throw line 26 times apd successfully made 22. along with his 9 fie'd goals to establish the new Marian record of 40 points. A tremendous ovat ion was accorded Hester by a home court crowd as he left the game with three minutes remaining. Ken Stilling, also of McHenry, was second high man with fourteen points and along with his teammates should be credited on the fine defensive effort they put up against Boylan. A noteworthy feature of the game was the 31 points scored in the third quarter by the Hurricanes to match their total first half score of the same. In the Frosh-Soph game the Little Hurricanes came on strong after the first quarter to beat the Boylan Frosh-Soph handily 64 to 49. This game proved to be a no contest affair after the first half, with Marian leading 31 to 18. Tim Murphy, sophomore from Woodstock, stepped to the free throw line sixteen times and made fourteen, along with his eight field goals for a total of thirty points to lead the litle team. Murphy was ably assisted by Dick Burg, who rang the hoop for fifteen points. This reporter must comment. "Merrily we roll along, roll along."

AMERICAN LEGION CHAMPIONSHIP WON BY ST. MARY FIVE St. Mary's wrested away the American legion grade school basketball championship from McHenry junior high Saturday. In a hard fought final the defending titleists closed the gap to four points twice in the fourth quarter, but the new champions kept their poise and emerged victorious 38-30. A sterling defense in the first half put St. Mary's 4n a commanding ,position 21-11. Now each of these two schools have one leg on the American Legion Traveling Trophy; but a team must win it three consecutive years to claim permanent possession. The original cup was retired by St. Mary's in 1961. The third place trophy was captured by St. Patrick's in their conquest of Johnsburg public school 35-23. Superior passing and rebounding stunned the cold Johnsburg five who just could not seem to settle down. In the semi-finals McHenry junior high rushed out to a 14-2 lead over Johnsburg public and coasted to victory. St? Mary's out-defensed St. Patrick's to ride home on a 37 to 13 decision. The first round was marked by a fine game between St. John's of Johnsburg and their cross-town rival. Johnsburg public finally pulled away in the fourteenth quarter 30 to 23. Harrison of Wonder Lake, crippled by ineligibility of most of its starting line-up, fell to St. Mary's 36 to 16. Players who starred in the final game for the new champions were: Jackie Hester, Jerry Glosson, Jim Frost, Pat Camasta, Bob Schaefer and Dave Schaefer. In addition to these, others who performed in victorious fashion were: Dave Meyer, Dick Jager, Bob Funk, Gary Schmidt, John O'Brien, Larry Smith, Tim Koleno, Roger Pawlikowski, Frank Harrison and Francis Mazzone.

Plus 2 Cartoons At the Isurth Suburban conference Wrestling tournament held at Palatine high school last Friday and Saturday, Mc- Henry's hustling grapplers battled and fought their way for second place in the conference tournament. Palatine won the tournament as was expected. Before ..the tournament McHenry was given an outside chance for fourth place. But those who had this in mind didn't figure on the determination, fight, and over-all improvement of the McHenry wrestlers during the dual match season. Meyer, Wahl Conference Champe McHenry placed eight wrestlers in the tournament out of a possible twelve. T*he only team to place more and to have more boys in the finals was Palatine. Capturing the 145 pound weight class was Jim Meyer, who beat Ben Falk of Crystal Lake 8-0. The 180 pound class was taken for the second time by Bob Wahl, who got revenge by defeating Ernie Coe of Barrington. Coe had beaten Wahl during the regular dual season. Sayler, Anderson, • Justen, Second Place Jay Sayler, 120 pounds, battled his way to the finals in probably the toughest weight class in the tournament. Jay gained a referee's decision in the semi-finals against Jim Kupchick of Libertyville, who also had beaten Jay earlier in the season. Sayler lost in the finals to Terry Gifford of Dundee, 3-1. Jim Anderson, 95 pounds, lost a heart breaker with 6 seconds left in the third period. Gary Hekie of Libertyville gained a quick reversal to give him the championship. Anderson had beaten Heike earlier during the season. And the fifth boy from McHenry to be in the finals was Hank Jus ten, but he lost to Mike Gluch of Palatine 5-2. Anderson and Justen, who are only sophomores, have done a terrific job of wrestling for underclassmen. Gelvin, Schuerr, Third, Phillips, Fourth Placing third in the meet were Larry Schuerr, a junior who did a magnificent job in his first bout and in the wrestle back, beat Ron Gelnder of Zion 3-0 for third place. Heavyweight Sophomore Ron Gelvin is coming into his own by improving with every match. Ron had replaced last year's conference heavyweight champion, Wayne Latimer, who had dropped from school. Gelvin defeated Chuck Crow of Zion 2-0. Russ Phillips 133 pounds, one of the most improved wrestlers on the McHenry squad dumped Gary Carson of Crystal Lake 3-0 in the wrestle back, but lost to Ivan Parks of Dundee for the consolation.

MARY'S WINS TRI-COUNTY THIRD SUCCESSIVE YEAR St. Mary's grade school varsity team walked off with the Tri-County Conference basketball crown for the third year in a row last week. In the final engagement the local team trimmed second place Hickory Hill of Meadowdale 34-26.' This leaves the Royals with a scintillating 7-1 conference record and a 20-2 overall mark. Interesting though, their toughest competition has come from McHenry junior high, having triumphed over them in their two league encounters by a total of only four points. Competition in the annual conference tournament at Lake Zurich begins this week with the local quintets favored to again face each other in the finals. On Wednesday night, Feb. 13, McHenry jousts with Hickory Hill, with the winner moving into the finals on Saturday at 8.30. St. Mary's meets the survivor of the Round Lake vs. Lake Zurich^clash «t 7:30 on Friday evening. Members of St. Mary's title holders are: Jim Frost, Jerry Glosson, Jackie Hester, Pat Camasta, Bob Schaefer, Dave Schaefer, Dave Meyer, Dick Jager, Bob Funk and Gary Schmidt. Substitutes include the following: John O'Brien, Larry Smith, Tim Koleno, Frank Harrison, Roger Pawlikowski, and Francis Mazzone. Some marry for better or for worse, while others marry for good. Little League Notes BY: BILL, BOLGER Get out your pencils boys and mark a big circle around March 21st on your calendar. This is the first day of spring and that is the> day we have selected for Little League registration this year. It will be held at the V.F.W. Clubhouse at 7:00 p.m. All boys, in the McHenry Little League area, who wish to play Little League* baseball must register on the above mentioned date. Anyone attempting to register after March 21st will be put on a waiting list. There will be an article fat the "Plaindealer" each week keeping you posted on Little League affairs. We1 decided to start early this year, so that everyone would have plenty of time to decide, before March 21st, as to whether or not they wish to play ball this year. It might be well at this time to look back over the successful years of McHenry's Little League, since it was started in 1954. In those nine years over two thousand boys have participated in our program. We have a major league, which has received the praises of the district representative. We have a minor league, which is as well organized as the major league and plays a similiar schedule. In addition, we have a miniature league made up of younger boys, which plays every Saturday afternoon. It has, been encouraging to the Little League officers to have had such excellent support from the team sponsors, most of whom have been with us from the start. They are: Ton: yan Construction Co., sponsor of the Bluebirds: Hester Oil Co., sponsor of the Owls; McHenry State Bank, sponsor of the Cardinals; Buss Motors, sponsor of the Orioles; McHenry Sand and Gravel, sponsor of the Eagles; and Althoffs, sponsor of the Falcons. See you next week. EXPAND FAIR EXHIBIT A meeting of the Iliino's Farm Equipment club at the Illinois state fairgrounds recently heard Gov. Otto Kerner remark that the Illinois State Fair is outstanding in the United States. State Fair Manager Franklin Rust informed the club that for 1963 further expansion of the Farm-A-Rama exhibit is planned. A "mile long" farm equipment show is one of the changes, he said.
