^SS^ln'lDne l^ag# Four THE McRENRY PLAINDEALER Thursday, April 15, 1965 n / ' ' i t s "jj SO I HEAR... Spring is in the ear. Birds are building nests. Boys are playing baseball on the streets. Convertibles are breezing around. . These little roller scooters have taken the country by storm as hula hoops did not so long ago. Big tim newspapers are full of big time baseball. At this writing the Sox haven't lost a ball game. Of course, they have won only one game. No worry about the Sox. They scored their first run of the year without a base hit. Base on balls--stolen base-- passed ball--sacrifice fly. That's power, man! The Sox haven't picked up that real swinger they need so much, but the base hits should rattle out better this year with the revised lineup. Yep. We haven't any doubts about the Sox winning the penant. Now if we could get the Cubs up there for a Chicago World Series. Elks Sponsor All-Men's Banquet To Honor Six Veteran Sports Leaders It looks like Banks is the Ernie of old and that should be a great lift. But, that pitching staff hardly looks like a winner. They do have some hoys who can smash the ball. The time has come for a big decision. Should we take those snow tires off the car? Leaving them on makes a fellow look real smart when that last freak snowstorm comes along. With the sun bearing down Tuesday, we saw a sign that read, "Go slow through ice and snow". It just confused us. Just twenty-two years ago we sat down to write a column and used the Easter Parade song as our theme. A baby girl had come to our house. In our home, in the car and wherever we went that song with "She's the sweetest baby in the Easter Parade" was on our lips. We never could sing much, but that song is one that we have given a try all those twenty-two years. Easter is a joyous day and the holy season should give each of us a lift. After the long winter, if the sun shines on Easter morning, crowds will emerge in their finery like a train coming out of a long tunnel. - And oh boy, oh boy those ladies' hats are getting funnier all the time. We-have seen all kinds of lamp shade mbdels. The stove pipe numbers should have dampers to make them look authentic. The fruit basket type should have a handle added. Hat designers are wonderful. They can take any old kettle, pot or item around the house for a model, dress it up and come up with a 20 buck hat. Well, if the girls are happy ... Tommy Sutton wondered if Junior Freund read our column last week. Yep. He called and said it was funny Bob Nolan never got around to see us when he had a 600 series. And he had a few words about our reference to his judgment of ball teams. In case you didn't know, Junior is one of those fine, noble, upstanding and ever loyal members of the Chicago Cubs baseball fan club. Wisconsin sports news service informs us that Paul Morenz won a Major "W" in basketball. Nice going, Paul. May your Easter be joyous and may the Good Lord either lighten your load or strengthen your fiber to carry your load. Our day will be happy with our loved ones returning to the nest and bringing their friends with them. And may the sun shine down on you in all its glory. "Oh, I could write a sonnet about your Easter bonnet 'cause--" ATTEND CHURCH SUNDAY Elks members throughout McHenry county will honor the giants of the county's sporting world as they salute six men who have served in key athletic leadership roles for upwards of 40 years. The tribute is planned for Tuesday night, May 4, Edward Hall; immediate past exalted ruler, said today, as- he announced plans to honor these six men: Dan Home, Harvard athletic director and coach for more than 40 years until his retirement a year ago; Leonard Mc- Cracken, athletic director and coach at McHenry for more than 30 years; Owen Metcalf, Crystal Lake athletic director and coach since 1925 who retires this year; and three outstanding Woodstock athletic personalities: Toney Roskie, Larry Dale and Melvin Stuessy. Elks members and their guests will honor these men at a Sports Night program with a nationally-known sports personality as speaker. But the main program will consist of reminiscing, story-telling, and homage to these titans of leaders of our young men over so many years. Tickets may be ordered by calling the Elks at Woodstock 338-0090, by contacting Hall at 338-2040, or by contacting committee members in several communities throughout McHenry county. "We are proud to recognize the contribution of these men," Hall said today. "Idea for -this tribute, was given us by Don Peasley in a sports column written last winter. Now we have a chance to follow through and are delighted with the chance to give public recognition." Hall has a special reason for understanding the contribution of a coach to a student, for he was an outstanding basketball player while at Northern Illinois University. The dinner will start at 6:30 p.m. and Sid Corson will be chairman. Corson played with or against many of these coaches and is filled with stories that will enlighten fans. On the committee are Ben Arvidson, exalted ruler installed Saturday night; Ed Hall, immediate past exalted ruler who began action for this program, Harold Sahs, Bill Caldwell, Forrest Ray, Gib Kurtz, Bob Nowaskey, Lee Kortemeier, Don Peasley. and Wayne Hahn. This is an all-men's affair, Hall reported. Ill BUD" GROYER NEW MARIAN CAGE COACH Charles "Bud" Grover, an outstanding high school and college basketball player of 15 years ago, has been named head basketball coach at Marian Central Catholic High School, Tom Parsley, athletic director, announced today. Grover, former Dundee athlete now at Boylan Central Catholic High School at Rockford, will succeed Joseph Gubbins. Gubbins resigned earlier this year and has not yet disclosed his plans. At Marian Grover will have the same coaching responsibilities Gubbins handled since he joined the Marian staff at the time the school was started in 1959-60--head basketball, golf and cross country coach. Parsley said Grover comes to Marian with the strong recommendations of former coaches with whom he was associated. Grover served as sophomore basketball and football coach for seven years at St. Edward high school, Elgin, working with Greg True. He has coached the past three years at Boylan, serving as varsity assistant and head junior varsity coach for basketball. He also handled the sophomore football coaching duties at Boylan. All-State Man Grover was a member of outstanding cage teams at Dundee high school and at Bradley University. Under Coach Gene de Lacey the Cardunals finished third in the state in 1946 and reached the quarter finals in 1947. He was named to the allstate team in 1947. At Bradley he played under Coach Forrest Anderson. He was a varsity squad member his sophomore year, playing as the No. 6 man. He was a regular his junior and senior years. Bradley placed fourth in the NIT tourney in 1948-49. In 1949-50. its success was even more spectacular. It won the Sugar Bowl tourney, the Missouri Valley title, and placed second in the NIT and NCAA tourneys. Parsley said he is pleased to find a coach with outstanding record--both as a player and as a coach. Grover reports for duty September 1.

Outdoors 1 by Jack Walsh lllllllllllllllllllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllHIl t A special statewide hunting season for blue-winged and green-winged teal has been des ignated from Sept. 18 through Sept. 26. The daily limit will be four teal and the possession limit is eight teal. On the first day of the season both limits are the same--four teal. Hunting hours are from sunrise until 5 p.m CST., (6 p.m. daylight) every day. A special free permit is necessary to hunt teal during this season. It will be available from the Illinois, Department of Conservation. There are no state quotas; anyone \yho dc sires a permit may have one by applying to Room 100, State Office Building, Springfield. No applications will be accepted after July 31 because of the time needed to process* applicatipns and transmit information to the Fish and Wildlife Service. Nq permits will be mailed to applicants before Sept. 1. The following information must be included in the application: the hunter's name, address and county of residence. If the hunter is a registered blind builder on any public area managed by the Department of Conservation for duck hunt ing, he should include the name of the area and his blind number. Hunters must have a valid Illinois hunting license and a 1965 federal waterfowl hunting stamp. The Rice Lake, Anderson Lake and Sanganois-Knapp Island areas will not be open for teal hunting, but all other public lands where duck hunting is permitted during the regular season will be open. All hunting on public lands must be from blinds in accordance with the administrative orders in force. However, the usual regulations pertaining to the completion of blinds will not be in effect for this special season. The teal season is an attempt at species management. The teals, and especially the bluewinged teal, are underharvested in Illinois because most l8f them migrate through the st&te before the regular duck season opens. The success and future of special seasons aimed at the management of a particular duck or ducks depends upon the cooperation of the hunter -and his ability to identify the species that are legal game. by Bill Bolger Every year, about this time, hope springs anew for thousands of boys in Little League. We want these hopes and dreams to come true for McHenry Little Leaguers. We have arranged to have fewer players on each team so that every boy will have a chance to play more innings and have a better opportunity to show what he can do. We hope all persons will take time to help their boys with a little special practice. We urge you to attend all the games, if at all possible. You will enjoy the excitement of Little League Baseball and marvel at the sportsmanship of the players. The boy of Little League age is a well /adapted and well humored 'little fellow, whose good judgment many times exceeds that of his elders. Association with these boys is one facet of never ending challenge and delight for all those who are willing to participate.

NEW WARD MAP Of CITY , '; vajv.v..' • .r'» s j iv * , i, ' ; ^ L '•J* $*> ?.frv •c v.\- > " / ff 1VHAK/Nw . » WARD MAP i I In order to assist voters in the city election next Tuesday, April 20, the Plamdealer is again printing a map showing the new ward lines. With the population increase lequiring the creation of a fourth ward, ew lines had to be established. Ward No. 1 still extends from Maple Ave. area through the center of the city including the country club area. Natural boundaries have been used such as the railroad tracks and Boone Creek. Ward No. 2 follows John St. from the tracks to Green St."The old jagged line from Waukegan St. to Third St., Third to Fourth, Fourth t o John and to Green has been eliminated. . An estimate of voters in each district was made and Ward No. 3 westerly boundary was changed from Green St. to Richmond Road. A winding line divides Ward No. 4, which covers the westerly section of the city, from Ward No. 1. The natural boundary of Boone Creek is most evident in this dividing line. It is hoped that voters will study these new ward lines before election day J to avoid confusion.
