THE McHEMRY PLAINDEALER Thursday* December 28, 1968 I HEAR ... Short week. Seems we just got through writing a column and including our Christmas thoughts. Now they tell us to get swingin'. Another issue comes out on Christmas Eve. Here comes Santa Claus! Must get out our list and check out a few little last minute items. Like waiting 40 years for the White Sox to win a penant, we always say next year will be different. * -With so many McHenry boys |A both lineups, we enjoyed the Marian Varsity vs. Alumni Sunday night. The old grads, not out of high school so long, showed signs of added weight -- and they threw it around. But they faded out and the organized, well-practiced varsity had no trouble winning. A back door neighbor of years past, Mrs. Anna Miller, passed away last week and memories of other days came back. She was a good mother who brought up a good family, teaching them to lend a help- *lng hand to their neighbors. ? Lest there be any confusion, here is now the weekend basketball games are set up: Friday -- 2 games at West Rockford gym. 7:00 p.m. -- McHenry vs. West Rockford; second game -- Elgin vs. East Rockford. Saturday -- 2 games at East "Rockford gym. 7:00 p.m. -- McHenry vs. East Rockford; second game -- Elgin vs. West Rockford.

Again the Warrior heavyweight was called on to provide the margin of victory. Ron Gelvin did just that by pinning John Bauer in 5:09 of the third round to give McHenry a 22-21 victory over Larkin. Ron was carried out of the gym on the shoulders of his team-mates. Larkin was one of the toughest opponents McHenry has met to date. Glosoon - Anderson Score A Win Dean Glosson (127) who had met some tough opponents in the past at 120, moved up to 127 and scored an important victory against his opponent from Larkin 4-3. Jim Anderson (112) went out to settle things in the first pcfriod by a take down and a predicament to build up a 4-0 lead. Final score -- 4-2. At 138, Russ Phillips, who gets better with each performance, out pointed Tony Rodriguez of Larkin--4-2. Bill Cawthon (145) got a take down and two reversals to score a 6-4 win over Nick Lea of Larkin. Larry Schuerr (154) beat a very strong and good Larkin wrestler, 3-0, despite almost being taken down in the first round. John Oppen heim (165) again wrestled to a draw--0-0. Only by some good riding and countering did John make this draw possible. Mike Keller (133) wrestling his first varsity match did a fine job, though losing in the final round 3-1. McHenry behind once at 13-3 and again 16-6 fought back to victory. Many times they could have just given up, but they were determined despite the score, to hang on and fight for every point with poise and confidence: Results: McHenry 22, Elgin Larkin 21. 95 lbs.--Monteih (L) pinner Forest Viita (M) 1:05. 103 lbs.--Heileman (L) decision Dave Freund (M) 11-5. 112 lbs.--Jim Anderson (M) decision Bohlic (L) 4-2. 12 lbs.--Linderfer (L) pinned Mike McEvoy (M) 5:41. 127 lbs.--Dean Glosson (M) decision Heintz (L) 4-3. 133 lbs.--Kelley (L) decision Mike Keller (M) 3-1. 138 lbs.--Russ Phillips (M) decision Rodriguez (L) 4-2. 145 lbs.--Bill Cawthon (M) decision Lea (L) 7-4. » 154 lbs.--Larry Schuerr (M) decision Watts (L) 3-0. 165 lbs.--John Oppenheim (M) draw Mellen (L) 0-0. 180 lbs.--Julingo (L)^ deck sion Tom Lundenheijnfcr (M) 3-0. ^ Hwt-Ron Gelvin (M) pinned Bauer (L) 4:10. McHenry is entered in the "Mustang Christmas Holiday Wrestling Tournament" at Mundelein High School Friday and Saturday. We do not have much information on the tourney so call Coach Hutchinson or any member of the squad. Old North Church, Boston, is now wearing its third steeple (Paul Reveres church). Outdoors In a high scoring free wheeling game the Marian Central Hurricans dropped their second game of the season Saturday night, to Grayslake 77- 55. Marian's sharp shooters, hitting 31 for 58.5 per cent from the field, weren't quite good enough, as the Grayslake five dumped in 33-58 for a 56.9 per cent. The Marian defense was as poor as their offense was good. Jumping off to a 23-15 first quarter lead, the Hurricanes slipped in the second quarter and the intermission score stood at 37-35, Grayslake. Returning for the 3rd stanza the Hurricanes outgunned Grayslake 19 to 13, to resume the lead at 54-50 as the period ended. Grayslake then outscor ed Marian by six points in the last frame to squeak out a 2 point victory, 77-75. Two men from each squad scored 20 points or better, with Goza of Grayslake taking high honors with 26 and Nitz of Marian second man with 25. Dezurik aided Grayslake with 22 and Murphy the "Red Head," was good for 20 for the Hurricanes. Returning Marian Alumni, found themselves in a tough battle with the Red and Blue Varsity squad Sunday evening as they went down for the count 90-65. Out Of Gas The Alumni fought valiantly for 3 quarters, then ran out of gas in the final period. Tom Parsley, Athletic Director ot the Hurricanes, handled the coaching assignment for the Allumni and used all of his 19 man squad in an effort to control the high scoring Varsity. Big Paul Nitz led the Varsity scorers, with 31 points, followed by three other regulars in double figures, Tim Murphy with 17, and Clarence Adams and Jon Meyer with 12 apiece. Gary Vycital, led the Alumni with 11 points, as 16 of the 19 man squad broke into the scoring column. The Frosh-Soph team also split two games, losing to Grayslake 56 to 45 and beating Mt. Carmel cf Mundelein 58 to 48. HURRICANE HINTS: The Hurricanes play in the Marengo Holiday Tournament this weekend, playing their first game Friday night at 7:45 p.m. Coach Joe Gubbins intends to stress defense in his practice sessions preceding Friday night's game, as his offense looks pretty respectable, with a 70 point plus average per game.

Barbian 174- By Jack Walsh The quota of 20,000 Canada geese will not be harvested by December 23, the scheduled end of the goose season, in Alexander, Union, Jackson, and Williamson Counties. A special season will be open from Jan. 1 through Jan. 5, 1964. Permits to hunt on the Union County and Horseshoe Lake Public Hunting Areas will not be issued from the Springfield office of the Department of Conservation. Pits will be allocated at 5 a.m. every day through drawings to be held on the areas. It is assumed that the commercial clubs will be open for the five-day period. Goose hunting in the four southern counties has improved the last few days, due to the arrival of migrating flocks. Illinois deer hunters, in the second portion of the shotgun deer season, harvested 2,409 deer in the 58 counties open for hunting. The first portion of the season produced a harvest of 4,- 282 deer. An unofficial total of 6,691 deer being taken was recorded for the entire shotgun deer hunting season. A very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all. McHENRY STUDENT ATTENDS HOLIDAY SCIENCE LECTURES Among more than 800 top flight science students in the Chicago area chosen by their high school principals to attend the second annual holiday science lectures at the Chicago Natural History museum on Dec. 26 and 27 is Ted Olsen of 2901 N. Spring road, McHenry, a student at Marian Central high school. The teen-agers, plus 200 science teachers listening on the sidelines, will hear Dr. William A.

Subjects to be covered are "The Synthesis of the Elements in Stars," "Nuclear Furnaces in the Sky," "Neutrinos," Supernovae and Galactic Explosions," and "Nuclear Clues to the Early History of the Solar System." All of the world's predatory carnivores, except the racoon, are native to Africa. A cake of soap dripped into that open barrel will cure mosquitoes.

Literally dozens of books are written each year on the art of selling for salesmen -- most of them earning handsome profits for their authors. How useful they are, it seems to me, depends on how adept the salesman is at sidestepping their usual complicated formulas and gaining out of them one of the basic things that makes any real difference to his success -- a stimulus to his enthusiasm. With a little thought you will realize that the real heart of sales resistance -- the customer's state of mind that stands between the salesman and a sale -- is simply lack of sufficient confidence. While temporary advantage may be lieved by high pressure and t verbal footwork, the only ting way a dealership and salesmen can be successful to gain ever greater customconfidence. low is this done? As any successful man will tell you it i t 't done overnight, but it is always done the same way: by DESERVING confidence. It is really self-evident that every time a business can render a service or handle a sale in a manner that wins the customer's goodwill, it is planting a seed of confidence that will bear fruit in more sales at a later date. That is our selfish motive in making our new and used car guarantees mean something and our service result in satisfaction. It turns buyers into customers. Bl'SS FORD SALES 8936 W.
