McCarthy, is in a hospital and may have to stay for a while. Bet he would get a lift if some of his many McHenry friends would send a card to him c/o Veterans Administration, V.A. Center, Bay Pines, Florida (2nd Floor- Room 131). Lillian Bolger was saying some kind things about "Mac" the other day. Neither of us kiiew about his illness. Send the old "Mick" a card. It will bring on that Irish smile. Saw an arlicle that told of the establishment of a Hall of Fame at Wisconsin State University- Whitewater to honor deserving former athletes of the school. The story tells that the Board of Directors include five permanent seats and seven elected members. Reading along we noted that Tony "Butch" Espey is a permanent selection. Nice going. Those lady bowlers are at it again. In the Women's League at McHenry Rec., we see the name E. Meyers with a 244 game in a 577 series. In the Wednesday Mixed along conies Karen McNally with 212-533. At Tomasello's Georgine Jancta had a 201 game in the middle of a 546 series. Whew! Crane was simply great in her baton twirling part. If we have ever seen anyone better in high school, we can't remember. In case you are wondering, that patch on Coach Chuck Cuda's nose is the result of colliding with a helmet while showing a sophomore quarterback how to play the game. Chuck does a real good job of getting players ready for varsity competition. Players like Rich Soda don't just happen to be good without some real coaching along the way. Those Warriors had to work like all get out to beat Libertyville last Friday night. Junior quarterback Bill Thomas showed us a lot of class in hiding the ball and hitting the mark with passes. Terry Doran sprung loose for a long run that started the Warriors on the way to victory. Then George Koch showed his heels to would be tacklers to score the other touchdown. Both place kicks were missed, but some old time kickers and the coaches know the answer. You can bet they will he working on the problem this week. After some years when we couldn't say much for the school paper -- "The Warrior" -- the staff put out a high class paper last week. We can be proud of this one. *» Now, did you ever see such goings on as the big league baseball teams have been going through since the World Series. Johnny Keane manages the Cardinals to the World Championship, then quits and is hired b> the team he beat. We told some of those National League fans it would have been different if the White Sox had been in that series. They laughed and laughed! Our former president, Herbert Hoover, died after a good and useful life. The longer he lived the greater his stature grew in the eyes of Americans who once burdened him with the responsibility for depression years. He carried his burdens with the dignity of a great man. After listening to these slambang political speeches too long, we agree with Glen Draper that electioneering should be limited to 30 days before election. After our comment last week that we thought "The Padre" had left us, we received contributions from both "The Juvenile" and "The Padre." Since the Juvenile's came in early, we sent it through the mill. Will use the Padre's next week. We have no idea who either contributor is. Please keep sending them in and we will alternate.

After reading Mr. Muench's report we feel that all fishermen and conservation-minded individuals in the area owe it to themselves to be present at this meeting. The data compiled during this investigation will prove quite startling, especially to those under the impression that our local waters are "fished out." Permits to hunt pheasants are still available for the stateoperated hunting areas. There are vacancies at the Chain O' Lakes area near Fox Lake, the Green River area near Ohio, 111., the Iroquois area near St. Anne, the Clinton County area, near Cowden and the Richland County area near Calhoun, five miles south of Olney. These areas will be operated on a permit basis, from Nov. 14 through Dec. 6 Permits may be obtained by writing to the Division of Game Management, Permit Office, 102 State Office Building, Springfield, 111. Sunday, October 25, the McHenry Sportsmen's Club will hold their monthly prize trapshoot on club grounds near Pistakee Lake. Shooting commences at 10:00 A.M. and food and shells will be available. To Bob Doran's Mom and Ann Varesc, we have to admit we were stringing them along while leaning out of the press box after the game. While the girls were as excited as cheerleaders, John Varese stood there cool as a cucumber. Bob played a groat game and was in on a flock of tackles. As if we didn't know when we asked, "Whose son is he?" Injuries to fullback Jim Morenz and end Ken Laurence brought about some changes. Terry Covalt moved to end and Ed Malenius eagerly got into action at center. Jim Huemann looks like he ought to be able to get the job done at fullback. Of course, he doesn't have the bruising power of Morenz, but who does? The high school band was extra sharp for the Homecoming crowd and littlA.Linda Just give a man credit for something today -- and he'll buy it.

Our statistics do not include the Libertyville game, but in the first four games George carried the ball 75 times and gained 438 yards. He scored 8 touchdowns, his longest run being for 64 yards. In the punting department, he booted the ball 15 times for an average of 41.1 yards. His longest punt was 52 yards (no return.) Koch if you remember placed second in the state 100 yd. dash last spring. He is an explosive runner, uses his interference well, and once past the line of scrimmage is hard to stop because of his speed. Against Dundee Koch had 143 yards in 20 carries, and against Zion-Benton had 195 yards in 27 carries. He has 157 additional yards that were called back because of penalties. We here at McHenry feel that George has the qualifications for All State. He was All North Suburban Conference Halfback last season. Some people never got anything out of life, as they have never decided what they want out of it. THURSDAY, OCT. 22 John F. Konnedv Navy Story "P.T. 109" One Show -- 8 pm. FRI., SAT., SUN., & MON.

COMING: "UNSINKABLE MOLLY BROWN" And "BEHOLD A PALE HORSE'* WARRIORS TIE FOR FUST PUCE WITH 12-7 VICTORY OVER LiiRTYVUE ELEVEN by Gene Brooke McHenry and Barrington are tied for first place in the North Suburban Conference with three wins and one tie each. The Warriors held out against a spirited Libertyville team and won their homecoming game 12-7. Barrington beat North Chicago over the weekend 20-19; Dundee beat Woodstock by the same score and Zion rolled over Crystal Lake 26-6. The Warriors invade Crystal Lake this Saturday afternoon and the two teams will engage one another on the Tigers' new field. Even though they were undefeated and were playing a team that was winless in conference play, the Warriors had all they could handle Friday night. Libertyville played good ball and it took some good defensive work by the McHenry boys to stop the Wildcats from scoring more than the one touchdown they did. McHenry was fortunate that Terry Doran and George Koch broke loose for long touchdown runs because the Warriors did have trouble making their offense jell during most of the game. The McHenry - Libertyville game illustrates how tough the conference is this year. On any given afternoon any one team in the conference is capable of beating another--so the Warriors will have to be up for all of the games if they want the conference crown. Thomas Connects Libertyville scored first on a series of passes. Working from a double slot formation, quarterback Bill Thomas constantly hit his ends for good yardage. On their second series of plays, the Wildcats scored. Thomas lofted a 26 yard pass to his halfback Dick Wrast for the score. Pete Gossell kickpti for the extra point. Trailing 7-0 the Warriors were quite aware of the situation they were in and immediately set out to even the score. Terry Doran Scampers In the closing minutes of the first quarter Terry DoVap broke loose around left end ahd scampered for 44 yards and a Warrior score. The extra point attempted was no good and the Warriors trailed 7-6. > Little time elapsed betwefift the Warrior scores. Rich Sodfo the Warriors' fine junior quarterback, handed the ball to George Koch and Koch broke through the middle and outran the Libertyville safety men for another 6 points. The extra point was no good. The scofte stood at 12-7 at half time. Defense Busy On Passes The second half of play was dominated by Libertyville. The Warriors spent most of their time halting the passing game of Libertyville. Even though the Warriors didn't play their best game, they did a good job on defense and so far this year, their defense has been the league's best. Only 26 points have been scored on the Warriors this year in conference play--that is 8 points less than North Chicago, their nearest rival. The Warriors have three games left. They must play Crystal Lake, Woodstock, and North Chicago. All of them are must games and it's a sure bet that they will all be tough. See as many of them as you can.

Undefeated in league play and tied for first, these coleaders collid at Joliet in an 8 p.m. game that could decide the league championship. The hustling Hurricanes face Joliet Catholic and its' powerladed offensive team paced by Dave Miller, fullback, and Jim Kinsley, halfback. Marian has beaten Immaculate Conception. Notre Dame and Marmion, whipping the Cadets, 34-13, last weekend in a memorable comeback before an enthusiastic Homecoming crowd. Joliet Catholic meanwhile has whipped' St. Francis of Wheaton, St. Procopius and St. Edward to reach this showdown game. Marian, newcomer to the league, commands respect from last season's third place team because of its victories over the highly-rated Dons, 13-7, and the defending champion Marmion Cadets. After this struggle Joliet still has the top-ranking clubs on its schedule while Marian will be concentrating to avoid upsets by St. Procopius, St. Edward and St. Francis. Determination Key to Marian's win over Marmion was determination to ignore its own first quarter mistakes and tow quick Marmion touchdowns. A less disciplined, less determined squad would have quit after three first period fumbles and a 55- yard touchdown run by the visitors' speedy Dick Brodsnanve. But Coach Tom Parsley's squad responded to the challenge with a more aggressive defensive the second quarter, prodding the Cadets to give Marian a poweiful assist wilh a bad pass fr.un center. Marian recovered the ball at the Marmion 12-yard line, and quarterback Tim Murphy raced 12 yards around left end to score. Mike Fogarty placekicked the first of three extra Obituaries JOHN J.

The Hurricanes moved the second half kickoff 64 yards as Murphy blended his own passing with strong Hurricane running. Murphy's 21-yard pass to Mike De Wane and a 13- yard run by Bob Christensen set up the touchdown. Murphy passed to De Wane 11 yards to tie the score and Fogarty booted Marian into the lead. Marian On The Move Marian moved 81 yards the next time it had the ball, a 69-yard Murphy-to - Moriarty pass-and-run play highlighting the thrust. Murphy raced 9 yards around end again for the third score. De Wane broke loose on runs of 29 and 58 yards in the fourth period to complete the rout. De Wane, sophomore halfback, was the standout as he gained 124 of Marian's 214 yards rushing. Murphy and Butch Simonini completed 7 out of 13 passes for 168 yards. Parsley cited the play of the guards on offense •-- Jim, May, Gordon Anderson and Joe Lundborg. He added that the ability of De Wane, Gene Church and Gordon Anderson to fill in for injured regular defensemen, John Hinner, Mike Pitzen and Tom Majereik, proved instrumental in the Hurricanes' successful defense.
