We both had the same thoughts. "Is it possible that the football season Is so near?" It is hard for®us to get excited about football in August, but coaches must get ready for the season ahead. It takes a lot of work to mold a squad into units of strength and smoothness. The annual battle for interest goes on between big time baseball and football at this time of year. We will stay with baseball until a chill gets into the air. Some people we know have momentarily taken their minds off the Cubs (for instance) to brag about the Badger boys in the Ail-Star football game against the Packers of Green Bay. Bill Burfeindt wants to know what's wrong with the White Sox. Nothing that couldn't be corrected by moving the Yankees into the National League. We had to admit to Bill that our Sox lack the bench strength that makes the Yankees go home each year with a bundle of lot.

In the first game against Algonquin; Jack Adams pitched great bill in pasting a 1-0 win. Jack was reached fojsingles in the first and the sixth innings. McHenry got its lone run in the second when Gaiy Walsh walked, stole second, went to third on an infield out and scored on an attempted pick-off by Algonquin's catcher. Phil Scmidt, Jack Adams, and John Hiller all hit safely. Algonquin forfieted its second game hecause it lacked a full team at game time. Woodstock's league champs took advantage of McHenry errors to come up with a 4-0 win last Wednesday night. Jack Adams pitched another great game as did Menge of Woodpicked up three more in the stock. Each hurier allowed three hits. Woodstock scored a single run in the second and Marian Central Information For Football Squad August 14, Wednesday. 9 'a.m., dentists will fit the mouthpieces at Marian for all candidates.

No matter what the shot, Hahn hits every ball with a fundamentally sound swing. That's true of the shots made with the garden hose shaft, the swivel-jointed shaft, the club weighing ten pounds and the one six feet long. ROTARY NEWS Our third annual family picnic, with the Children's Home of Woodstock as our special guests, will be held the afternoon of Aug. 15. Captain Davey Jones, owner of over 500 acres called "Powder Horn," located just east of Ridgefield, has offered the use of this most beautiful recreation grounds to the McHenry Rotary club to entertain their families and guests. Art "Torchy" Krause is the efficient general chairman, assisted by Bill Burfeindt, Harry Dean and Ray McGee on the arrangements committee. "Big Ernie" Useman will be in charge of the games, assisted by Chuck Peterson. Which assures a most enjoyable time for youngsters and adults. There will be tours of the ground via hayrake rides; swimming with Bill Brown and Larry Lund acting as life guards: plenty of soft drinks and hamburgers prepared by our own famous outdoor cooks, with "Moe" Buch as the head man and supervisor on this very important detail. Our Rotary Anns will have a very active part. They do not rely too much on their husbands' cooking ability regardless of what is claimed by these super chefs. Ten cars have been assigned to pick the youngsters up at the home at 1 30 p.m. Aug._ 15 to transport them to and ffom the grounds. The cars will be driven by Rotarians and Rotary Anns. President Herb Reihansperger has extended an invitation County Has Four- Teams In Farm Sports Festival Four of the six McHenry county rural Softball teams have qualified for the state finals in the Illinois Farm Sports Festival at Springfield August 21-22. Three of the four teams earned the advancement in all-day district tourney at DeKalb last week. This will be one of the best representations McHenry county has enjoyed in the elite at the "greatest rural sporting event in the world," Henry Edgerton, secretary of organization for the McHenry County Farm Bureau, said today. The Young Adult team scored perhaps the most significant victory because it downed the defending Btate champion Will county team, 3-0, to advance to the state meet at Springfield. A year a<y>, McHenry bowed to Will in the finals of the state tourney, held each year until this year at Champaigti-Ur« bana. The complete Sports Festival finals have been shifted to the Springfield area because the exer-expanding University of Illinois makes ade- 'tuate space for 20 or more Softball diamonds and other activities hard to find. Howard Hoyt pitched a twohitter as the Young Adults surprised Will county. The All- County team downed Whiteside, 13-1, and then beat Ogle. 4-1. to advance. Ken Schauer started on the mound in the first game, but re-injured his side and had to retire. Walt Lagerhausen finished that <?ame, then hurled the entire second game. The girls' open class team advanced without the necessity of playing in a district tourney. McHenry county's 35'ers --- second in the state two years ago --7 whipped Kendal) county with a late-scoring splurge, 16-0. Bud TornoW hurled a five-hit victory. Tornow had a home run and Bar* ney Borchard had three doubled and a single. [ McHenry county's boy's 4-H club entry, The Jiuntley Har-r vesters, bowed to the late in$ nings to DeKalb, 13-1 Thft girl's 4-H team lost to Kan± county in a free swinging match, played at Westwood, 42-20! Edgerton said entries ii swimming and other Spor Festival finals should be m at the Farm Bureau office. Jim Keefe is chairman of the softball activity this year. The fine performance of the teamfr indicates his efforts to en? courage considerable participation by many Farm Bureay members. By Bill Kamp rBOAT/NuA WiTH Aiiention High School Athletes Normally last games played are reported as such, but due to Sunday, Aug. 4th, being full of surprises, we will reverse a little. a McHenry Pony League surprised all of us and lead the nation in a big FIRST. Between games Sunday, boys from all four teams gathered in the infield to pay honor to a 'McHenry man. Mr. Roy Morrison was called into the field and was presented with an autographed baseball by Lou Swedo. With the presentation of this ball, Mr. Morrison was named "Pony League's Most Distinguished Gentleman." This award will be an annual affair and will be based on the many things one does to help the boys. The person chosen will be picked by a committee. We are in strong hopes that this will become common practice across the nation. Mr. Morrison was given a rousing cheer by the boys. A vote of thanks was also extended to Mr. Fred Getner, the Commander of the McHenry V.F.W. Post. The next surprise was Sunday's game' between the Sox and Giants. The Giants, who were in last place, beat out the Sox who could have taken first place. The score was 7-6. It was a real thriller all the way. with Mike Sobacki of the Giants starting all the action by stealing home in the' first inning. Tim Marquart, center field, got hit in the face by a long drive, creating a lot of confusion in the third in /.ig and allowing the Sox to score 3 runs. However the Giants came back real strong in the 6th with Jim Frost and Bruce Potratz each getting home runs. Denny Jackson was the only home run hitter for the Sox with two run trippers. Danny Kamp made a fabulous catch in the 7th, giving the Sox their 1st out and taking the steam right out of them. Winning pitcher was Jim Frost who chalked up 14 strikeouts. Dave Smith caught for the Giants. loosing pitcher was Bob Schaffer who relieved Karstens in the 5th. Chuck Rielly caught for the Sox. As a reward for the win, each of the Giant players were allowed to douse their coach. Art, with a pail of ice water. Art turned blue, but would be tvilling to take it again for more wins.

M, Skin and Scuba diving are as old as history. In 77 A. D. the Roman naturalist Pliny the Elder described an underwater diving tube which was the forerunner of one present snorkels. Today an estimated 500,000 boating fpns have extended their horizons by including sport diving to seek out natural beauty under the water, to hunt for sunken treasure, to engage in underwater fishing, photography and other submariners' hobbies. Sport diving is divided into two categories. The skin diver uses the most basic equipment, a face mask, pair of swim fins and sometimes a snorkel. This equipment can be bought for $15 to $20. With it the diver can float face down on the surface or venture to modest depths and explore shallow water areas. The Scuba diver, with selfcontained underwater breathing apparatus that will cost $150 or more, can push well below the light dappled surface layers and explore to any depth to which his body can be safely adapted. The sport diver may encounter underwater hazards since the environment is unnatural to air-breathing man and certain underwater animal and plant life can be unfriendly. Yet a part of the thrill and the lure of diving is to explore the unknown and successfully meet the challenge of an incompatible environment. It is only safe if the person engaging in it does it with proper equipment, is adequately trained and recognizes safety precautions. Veteran divers compare the energy expended in sports diving with that used in running. The man, woman or child who pants after walking up a flight of steps or feels pooped after a 25 yard swim better stay on the water's surface. If you are attracted to skin or Scuba, I advise you to join an active diving club whose members will recommend safe equipment. Nearly all clubs have qualified instructors who teach new members proper diving techinques, stress hazards that may be met, how to avoid them and what to do if they are encountered. Your local marine dealer will be able to supply the names of the nearest diving clubs. ?" ;' y If you've ever had a power failure in bad weather and had nothing to hold you p£f. a leeshore; but your grourtd taeklet you'll appreciate tl}e. importance of a good anchor arid 1,16 d All but the smallest pleasure boats should carry twoanehofls.

The anchor and the anchor line, or rode as it is properly named, should be matched to th# boat they arei expected to hold to the bottom. The holding power of any anchor will depend upon many variables: the type of bottom, design and weight of the anchor, the scope, that is the relationship between the length of the anchor rode and the depth of the water where the anchor is dropped, current drag, wave and wind action. Your marine dealer can help you choose anchors of recommended size and type for your boat and the operating conditions you will meet locally. There are a number of tips that will help simplify your anchoring problems and develop your anchoring technique. Keep in mind the design of your boat will affect its action at anchor. A shallow draft, planing type hull, will react more quickly to shifts in wind and is more prone to swing at arichor than a deeper draft power boat or a deep keel sail boat. A deep keel boat will react more quickly to changes in current. In a crowded anchorage, make allowance for the variance of different hulls to wind and current shifts. You may find that you cannot use the recommended average scope of 8 to 1 and may have to shorten to as much as 4 to 1. The shorter scope will greatly lesr sen your anchor's holding power. One trick you may use is to secure a weight approximately half way down the anchor rode as this will reduce the angle of line pull in reference to the bottom and cut the chance of dragging anchor tn the event it starts to blow. 'The weight is called a sentinel. Don't overlook the effect fit tide. If you're in an area with a sfx-foot tide and anchor in ten feet of water with 80 feet of line your scope is 8 to 1. However, if the tide rises six feet, the scope is shortened to 5 to 1 which may be dangerous under certain conditions. A helpful indication of whether you have sufficient scope is to watch the reaction of waves on the rode. If decided pull is exerted as the bow rises, you have insufficient line out and should be wary of dragging anchor.
