SPECTACULAR FINISH WINS j (George SJuIlivan, who was r'Simy out in front as the dean of sports writers in this area, has been called to his Maker after a good and useful life as aT Sports Editor and christian gentleman. 18-12 GAME FOR WARRIORS OYER DUNDEE CARDUNALS Ol' "Put and Take" died with his boots om while covering a football game at Woodstock {ligh. While it ty&s » shock to his wife, relatives and host of friends, we thmk George would like it that way--doing a jpty he loved so much. « George knew his way ar<jund. In sports circles and was kind Enough to lead young Writers around by the hand nt special events such as basketball tournaments. * A line In "Put and Take" was worth a million to tho$e who "made the column." Marie Yegge, whom we like fo refer to as our Assistant Sports Editor, had great admiration for her big brother fcnd devoured the words each time George came through with *n outstanding column. « " '-Z ' u . »» • - • George had the same old Oliver typewriter down 1 hrough the years. We once told him it Bounded like a threshing macbine. His Irish eyes' were fitnil-' ing when we offered a bale of Wire to hold the old machine to-gether. " We often talked of the old time rivalry between. Woodstock and McHenry irr sports events. That rivalry was the real McCoy way back when, but our rivalry in reporting was 5n a friendly bksis. " By Gene Brooke McHenry fans were treated to one of the most spectacular games ever played on Mc- Cracken Field Friday night as the Warriors won their first ConferencQ game against Dundee, Ift to 12. K^n^ that left befor^j theC end of the game must have been shocked to hear that the Warriors won. Trailing by a touchdown With lea® than-a minute to go, the McHenry boys forced two Dundee fumbles and captalized on each •of them with scores. Who was the star? Don "Butch" Meyer, must be singled out. Both of the last two touchdown passes were caught by him and both were truly great catches. Jim Ambrose, who ran for McIIenry's first score, made a beautiful 14 yard run for the 6 points. However, it was the Warrior's defensive play that made the victory possible. Each boy illustrated the characteristics of a good vyor^ing athlete that wouldn't give up until the end even though defeat seemed inevitable. The defense forced the two Dundee fumbles- and made oGr victory possible. First Half AH Dundee During the first half it was all Dundee. They outplayed the Warriors on offense and stopped all of the Warrior plays. Dundee's Jirsl score came as a result of a McHenry fumble. Taking the ball on the Warriors' 35 yard line, Greg True, Dundee's quarterback, moved The world moves on and the presses never stop, but a-man lQjg jQeorge 1s neverwplaced. 3^ Wena our sympathy ttr Mr*. Sullivan, Marie and all thwe iwar and dear. If we eyfir, make it up thfjr? to see you, George, we hope to.'tell thgm that you made the Hall oO^UCa on this earth.

Anonymous WARRIOR OF THE WEEK DON (Butch) MKYIR RON KKFJTZER Height 5'10" Weight 165 Senior. Don is a senior playing his fourth year of football for the McHenry Warriors. In the past three years he has con- , centrated his efforts as a defensive H.B. or L.B. This past week he was given a new assignment as an offensive end and continued to play his defensive L.B. position. In his first game as a offensive end he caught three passes two of whigh counted for two T.D.s scored by the Warriors in the last thirty-two seconds of play to give the home team an 18 to 12 victory over Dundee. Height 5' 10". Weight 225 Senior. Ron is a senior plhying his fourth year of football for the Warriors. Ron is known for his hard knocking tactics in the past, but is credited this week with being the leader of a lough defensive line that gave up only thirty-two yards on the ground. He is credited with several tackles and played an important roll in causing the fumbles in the fourth quarter that made it possible for the Warriors to get the ball and score the tying and winning touchdowns.

Riverside Dr. I'Jmhh- 8*5-1 42(1 his team to the 9 yard line where he passed to end Tosh Mcintosh for the first score. The second Dundee touchdown was quite similar and again the result of a McHenry fumble. This pass play covered yards --\ again from True to MclntoshJ Both scores came in the second, quarter and as the half ended it was Dundee 12 -- McHenry 0. Defense was the Warrior weapon the second half. With the best team effort of the year, the Warriors stopped the Dundee attack cold. McHenry linemen were hitting hard and constantly throwing the Dundee team for losses. Then in the third quarter our tough defense resulted in McHenry's first big break. Warrior guard, Ron Johnson, recovered a fumble on the Dundee 14 yard line. On the first play, Jim Ambrose tore off his right guard for the first Warrior touchdown. Great Catch In the fourth quarter the game seemed wrapped up for Dundee. The Warrior offense hadn't done much and the Dundee team had the ball with less than a minute to pipy. With the ball on the 29 yilrd line, a Dundee halfback fumbled and we recovered. On the third attempted pass, Bill Funk threw to Meyer for the score which tied the game. The catch was truly outstanding and a tremendous effort by our end Don Meyer. The game was tied, but who thought we could win? The Warriors must have thought so. After the kickoff, Dundee fumbled on the first play. The McHenry team had only one thought in mind as they swarmed all over the Dundee boys. They hit hard and caused the fumble with 15 seconds to go. Quickly the offensive teap organized and with 3 seconds left they got the play off. 11 was a pass to Laurance. Laurance couldn't hang on to it - a Dundee player tried to knock it down - and finally Don Meyer dove for it and Me Henry had won. McHenry and Dundee sophi mores tied 7-7.

Halfback Pete Parker broke or tied four individual scoring records. He scored 23 of his team's 35 points. Marian will find considerably stronger opposition this Friday night when it goes to Niles to meet Notre Dame, one of the prennially strong teams in the Chicago area. Last year Marian stunned Notre Dame, 14-6, when the big city school came to the country with the mistaken notion it had a breather. That was the game where Quarterback Wallie Bowman, Lonesome End Bill Riley and Halfback Ed Crowley worked the flea-flicker play for a perfect touchdown play. Defensively, Joe Reinert was one of the standouts in a group of impressive defenders. Reinert had 8 tackles. Ron Reckamp made 6 from his halfback spot. Tackle John Heider made 7. Reinert played linebacker. The standout accomplishment of the St. Edward victory was the slick teamwork shown in springing will-o-the-wisp Pete Parker loose for touchdown jaunts of 66 and 65 yards, respectively. The 66-yard run on the second play from scrimmage *s6t a< school record for the longest touchdown jaunt from scrimmage. He slanted right through the line, cut a step toward the sidelines and by the time he was 10 yards behind the line of scrimmage he was open. The second touchdown was achieved when Quarterback Tim Murphy hurried a shovel pass to Parker as he streaked toward end. Gary Beiers and Joe Blenner knocked down the tow defenders around end and Parker outsped his pursurers down the western sideline, for 65 yards. Parker also place-kicked five extra points. He tied the onegame mark Jim Vodnasky set in 1960 against Hiawatha. imately 15 miles every day. Cross country competition demands the utmost in personal motivation, and these boys have been putting out well ever since they reported." McHENRY THEATRE THURSDAY.
