Plumbing & Heating 'Watch for our New Showroom - «l. 885-09**' Editor's Note Following is a story that was written by Gene Brooke last week, turned in to the Sports Editor (who insists it was turned in to The Plaindealer with other sports copy), and mysteriously lost. The typed copy (typed by a Girl Friday who knows she isn't dreaming) is still lost. Fortunately Gene's original report had not been burned. Everybody along the line knows the story was written, but nobody knows where it was lost. The search and the mystery linger on. By Gene Brooke It was a rough, tense and exciting game. The Warriors had lost their first encounter with Woodstock and just one week before had been ousted from a chanc6 for first place by Barrington. It was against Woodstock that they must win--they had to prove to themselves and to their fans that they are a good team. They did it with a tremendous defensive game against the Blue Streaks here last Friday night. Final Score: McHenry 63, Woodstock 51. Anderson and Johansen, the leagues leading scorers, had a most humiliating night. Averaging 40 points a game between them during the season, they had a total of 5 points Friday night. Johansen sank one basket and a free throw for 3 points and Anderson sank one basket in fifteen attempts for 2 points. While both boys had an "of night," recognition must be given Warrior defense -- the leagues best. Kusch and Laurence did a good job protecting underneath while our guards did a superb job in handcuffing Anderson. Smith, Laurence Star There were two big stars in McHenry's win. Smith played his best of the year in the first half. No Woodstock player could contain him and he repeatedly drove in for the layup. Laurence was tremendous. Ken's offensive spurt put bum in the spotlight-- but he also played his usual sound defensive game. The Warriors outscored Woodstock in every quarter but the last--that ending in a tie. Warrior fans sensed that the Warriors were going to be tough when they quickly jumped into the lead. The McHenry boys lead the entire game. The game actually wasn't as close as the excitement of the crowd made it seem. However, the great rivalry between the two teams made it an interesting one. Thompson Is Tops Woodstock's team was lead by Larry Thompson. Thompson is an inspiring player to watch, throughout the entire game he played hard and illustrated the desire that separates good players from the average. He led the Streaks with 21 points. With this victory, the Warriors are tied for third with Dundee. Both teams follow Crystal L^ake by one game. It is important to note that these two teams are the remaining games' for the Warriors. With victories over these teams, the Warriors could end up in second place. ILLINOIS AMATEUR BASKETBALL STANDINGS (As of Feb. 14, 1964) STATE DISTRICT CHAMPION HfelO a?

Front St. 885-0811 McHenry, DL 7 Hurricanes Of Marian High Nip St. George 50-49 The Marian Central Hurricanes, with their 50-49 victory over St. George's of Evanston Saturday night, postfed a 15-6 record for the 1963-64 season. The Hurricanes led most of the way, until late in the fourth quarter, wheif1 they slipped behind and it looked victory was going * to elude them in their final game of the regular season. With 0:38 left in the game, St. George had a one point lead, 47-46, as the Blue and Red got control of the ball. Playing for one shot, Junior Tim Murphy laced the wicket to put Marian on top 48-47 with 0:25 remaining. St. George in possession went for their basket for one shot and missed, and Murphy had the ball and Was fouled. Murphy, with quiet calm, proceeded to make his one and one bonus to make the score 50-47 and the Dragons McGiven made the last field goal of the contest at 0:01, but St. George fell one point short With the game ending in the Hurricanes favor 50-49. Paul Nitz netted 23 points for scoring honors and with this total it enabled "Big Paul" to break the Marian one season scoring record of 442 points held by last year's scoring star Rex Hester. Hester, needed 25 games to establish this mark, whereas Nitz garnered his total of 448 in 21 games.

Coach Joe Gubbins has his wards working hard in preparation for next Tuesday night's game in the Regional when they meet top seeded Elgin. Asst.

The Majors and Minors, in past years, have played two games per week while the miniatures played only one game a week -- on Saturday afternoon. Last year's Miniature League director, Norm Knaack, experimented with a few practice games during the week. These practice games were held on practice fields, since the Little League diamond was in use every night. These extra games worked out so well that President Ted Pitzen has asked the officers to try and arrange a schedule which will permit the Miniatures to have the use of the Little League diamond twice a week. Sounds like a good idea. *• I mentioned last week that we will have new lights for the Little League - field this year. These lights will be paid for largely by the Ladies' Auxiliary of Little League. They raised funds by running the refreshment stand and have been a tremendous help to Little League.

WARRIORS PUT ON HOT FIRST HALF TOWN Forced To Rally At Finish To Beat Dundee 84 TO 71 By Gene Brooke By looking at the box score one would think Cliff Fulton played one team the first half and another the second half against Dundee. Without a doubt the Warriors were tougher than they have been all season in the first half. They shot at a phenomenal pace and rebounded ferociously during this time. Evidence of their scoring punch was a total of 26 points the first quarter and 22 the second. The Warriors were leading by 21 points when the second half began. From the w&y they looked the first half, McHenry fans were confident -- Dundee fans a little scared. However, all were amazed at the quickness in which the game changed complexion. Dundee Catches Fire Dundee began to work the ball and started to rebound. The first quarter had been played all over again -- but this time Dundee was the team on fire. During one part of the third stanza, Dundee scored 12 straight points and cut the Warrior lead in half. Warrior fans began to panic as the Cardunals closed the gap tb 4 points in the fourth quarter. With the score 72-68 and 3:14 to go, the Warriors put on a rally and went on to win 84-71. All Warrior wans who have seen the last few games are pleased at the play of Ken Laurence. Ken is a 6'3" Junior, and will be a pleasant return to next year's team. Ken had 21 points against Dundee. We all know he can. make the shot under the basket -- but some were amazed at his freethrow accuracy in the Dundee game. Actually, Ken has been improving tremendously and will become more of a scoring threat in the future. Rich Smith also played a fine game Friday night. Rich put in 19 points. Kusch had 15 points and also rebounded well. Newkirk, Moss and Meyer also played well -- contributing 19, 9, and 7 points respectively. Next week's game determines the place that the Warriors will finish in the Conference. With a win they will tie for second with Crystal Lake-- "a loss will keep them in third. The Warriors will have the advantage over the Tigers as they play on their , own court. Make sure you are there to see our team finish the season.

Mary's fell victims to a common opponent in the Rockford Diocesan Regional Tournament at Elgin Sunday. St. Patrick's faltered' in the finals, bowing to St. Laurence of Elgin by one point, 38- 37. Ironically our runner-ups blew an 8 point lead in the 4th quarter to the never-ending hustle of the Champions. St. Patrick's actually led the entire game up to the last twenty-- seconds. In the semi-finals St. Mary's suffered a bitter cold wave In their shooting in the first stanza, making only one of nearly twenty shots. Then effective stalling tactics by the Title Winners in the. second quarter buried the locals too deeply to escape. However St. Mary's played well through "the last half to finish in a 36-29 deficit. The weather was still frigid for St. Mary's in the battle for 3rd place during the first period. St. Joseph's of Elgin pulled out to a quick 13-1 lead. The Royals closed the gap to 4-points in the final quarter but felP back again through free throws to an ending score of 37-31. \ St. Patrick's blasted St. Josephs with a strong fourth stanza to pull from a tie to a decisive 32-20 triumph.

COUNTY SERVICE CLOSET IN NEED OF CLOTHING Ice fishing seems to be at low ebb in this area and most anglers have hung up their equipment until those last few days before the ice goes out. Calling has been rapidly replacing the "track-em-down" method of fox hunting in the past few years. Many hunters in this area have tried, unsuccessfully to coax old Renard in to shooting range with these squealers, and have come home with nothing but cold feet. Try waiting ten to fifteen minutes between rabbitt screams or whatever you are trying to imitate. Results should prove the wait worthwhile. The McHenry Sportsmen's Club will hold a registered trap shot this Sunday, March 1 at their grounds near Pistakee Lake. Three events including: Onehundred targets at 16 yards, one-hundred handicap targets, and 25 pairs of doubes are scheduled, commencing at 1:00 a.m. A practice trap will be available all day for shooters not interested in competing for the 22 trophies to be awarded at this shoot. .WOULD WIDE SERVICE Air-Ship-Rail Tickets Cruises Tours Hotels-Resorts Drive-Ur-Self Planned Vacations Reservations and Tickets at No Extra Charge Your Authorized Travel Agent CHAIN-O-LAKES TRAVEL SERVICE 385-5251 3917 W.

THE PROGRESS OF SEAT BELTS If you are considering buying a new 1963 car you would be well advised to spend the few extra dollars required for a quality seat belt. Belts are growing rapidly in popularity and are now installed in 6.9 percent of all cars on the road, though a good percentages^ ^ Of drivers fail to|^. use them consistently. Nothing makes a sealt hplt believer faster than being in an accident without one (providing you survive, that is). Medical authorities state flatly that better than one third of fatal injuries would be avoided if the victims had been wearing belts. One group of drivers who always fasten their belts before driving anywhere are the test engineers in charge of safety tests for the major car makers. Watching the results of a crackup against a concrete barrier at 30 MPH with dummies in the cars is apparently quite a convincer for anyone inclined to consider a belt too much trouble. News cars come pre-punched for seat installation now and the job of fitting your car with belts to match the upholstery is a fast and simple one. It is important to 'wear seat belts on shopping trips and other short drives, as well as longer trips. Three out of four traffic fatalities occur within 25 miles of home and more than one half of all injuryproducing accidents take place in urban areas. Learn to use this safety device now before you become convinced the hard way. BFSS FORD SALES 3030 W. Main Street » w1.!i» MJf'.z.M j
