sjjsssr-if • Section On® -- Page Four THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Thursday# August 25,1966 SO I HEARBy: Earl Walsh .--•'A vacation was prescribed but we made it short.' Anyhow it was enjoyable. Our daughter was taking off for Mason City, Iowa to attend a wedding so it seemed a good idea for Mom and Dad to go aiong for the ride. had some rules against diving in garbed in underwear. We had seen the tall corn of Iowa and some of the beautiful scenery of Minnesota so decided to move south along the West side of the Mississippi to Prarie du Chien. Traffic was light and the old cars of the natives moved slowly. Plenty of time to sec the great hills to our right and the big river to our left. We wondered how people survived in those areas in the cold of winter. There were stops to see places of interest as we wove our way southeasterly through Wisconsin. In Dodgevillc, Wis. we were amused at a sign that read "DRIVE CAREFULLY THE LIFE YOU SAVE MAY VOTE REPUBLICAN." KflMrK WARRIORS TO START PRACTICE FOR m FOOTBALL SEASOM AUGUST 24. FUTURE BRIGHT We toured out through Dubuque where we had visited through four years of college. But, this time we didn't need a truck to carry belongings. Man, those were the days! If we were a travel editor, it would be in order to say that traffic was light on Route 11. In fact, we took black top roads up to that point and saw very few cars. A short visit to the old st imping grounds, Clarke College, showed a big expansion program being completed. In line with the times, a beautiful new science building is ready. It was great to get away for a few days and great to get home. It wouldn't seem like much of a trip tQ real travelers but to a fellow who seldom gets out of McHenry County it was something to write about. John Winston, son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Winston of Ri-ngtfoodi lias received a football scholarship in excess of $600 at Azusa Pacific college in California. This will be renewed and increased every year. Paul anl Hal Eurich left together for the college last Friday with Hal's folks. Hal also got a football scholarship of about equal amount given to John and Hal also was given other types of scholarships. We would be interested in hearing of the progress of these young : l men as time moves along? U.S. Route 20 West became a bit heavy with traffic so we took off on Rt. 6!'. from Waterloo toward New Hampton. It was up there where we really met our Waterloo. How could we know, they had detours? We believe in signs but couldn't find 'em. So we pulled in a farm yard to inquire. The lady of the ho'usc started to tell us where to go and wound up telling her husband where to go when he interrupted. An old fellow operating a not too busy gas station was our man. Like many people in the area, he wasn't in a hurry. After showing us \Vith waves of both arms, he asked us to wait. He must have seen we weren't too bright at absorbing directions so out he came with a pencil and pad to draw it out I so we couldn't miss. We decided j he should make copies to hand out to lost strangers. We stayed two nights in Mason City, 30,000 population, and saw only one policeman. Suppose there would have been one right there if we had gone through a stop sijj;n. Mason City is a Friday night! town, but everybody and his j brother rides up and down the1 main drag on Saturday night. On Sunday afternoon we headed north not too far from Minnesota and found the temprature 20 degrees lower than Illinois. It was a beautiful ride across the hills and valleys as Rt. 16 took us to LaCros.se, Wis. People were pulling in to the motel from many states as evening came fast. They had a heated swimming IH>ol that gor a big play. We forgot to take our suit and they Marie Yegge, ever alert to sports news that might keep S.I.H. alive, phoned to ask if we had seen Bill Gleeson's column on Chuck Hiller. Having been in an area where Chicago papers were hard to come by, we missed the column. We didn't realize that Chuck is batting ..'509 to lead the marvelous Mets. Playing second base, third, and left field Chuck has done a good job for the Mets. He doesn't get a chance to swing against southpaw pitchers but might surprise a few if he did. As we recall Chuck's average against southpaws was higher than against right handers the year he led the Texas league in batting. The first practice session held by the McHenry Warriors for the 19<66 football season will be on the morning of August 24 at 8:00 a.m. The 1965 Warrior team graduated nine lettermen, seven of which were starters either offensively or defensively. These lettermen were: (HB) Tim Freund, (QB) Rich Soda, <C) Ed Malenius (LB) Hal Eurich, (LB) George Hauser, (LB) Bill Hauck, (DHB) Alan Olsen, (T) John Winston, and (DHB) Rich Albright. The 1966 Warrior Team will be built around twenty returning seniors, of which . tewlve earned varsity letters during the dismal 1965 campaign. The seniors will be strongly, supported by a good group of juniors who lost only one game during their sophomore season. Many of these young men will be working hard to earn starting berths on the 1966 Warrior team. The outlook for the Warriors should be much improved in 1966. * The following young men would seem to be the ones to watch during the coming season. John Reinboldt - Jr. - Q.B. - 6'0 - 180 lbs - Played regular for the varsity in 1965 as both a Q.B. and' H.B.: had three games in which he carried the ball for more than 100 yards; scored six touchdowns during the season; defensive L.B. later part of season. Bobby Funk - Sr. - Q.B. -1 5'8" - 150 lbs. - Reserve Q.B. • in 1965 campaign and showed) great improvement at the end j of season; continued improvement could call for a regular | position in 1966.

Dick Dougherty - Si". - Kicker - 5'9" - 15;) lbs. - Kicking specialist in 1965; showed considerable improvement at close of season; could add a lot of punch to the Warrior effort in 1966.

' Doug Kolirt - Sr. - G. - 5'11"- 210 lbs. - Saw little action in 1965; lias worked hard on physical development and could see a lot of action in the coming season. Ken Pritzak - Sr. - L.B. - 5'10" - 160 - Saw a lot of action at line backer in 1965; could develop into a regular in 1966. Chris Hasiiiussen - Sr. - End- 6'0 - 160 lbs. - Saw reserve action in 1<)65; should develop into real prospect in 1966. Bruce Domota - Sr. -5'7" - G. - 155 lbs. - Injury in early I part of 1 season hurt his chances as a regular; saw a lot of reserve ait ion; could make great contribution to the 1966 Warrior effort. i{t •* < ;j':" ./W v- Lewis Pitzen, (center) pioneer Pistakee Bay settler, accepting a lifetime membership award to commemorate his 25th anniversary as a member of the McHenry Sportsmen's Club, at the recent celebration in his honor.

PERRY WAlKBt, DIES MONDAY MASS HORSES WIN HONORS AT ILLINOIS FAIR Every spring for twelve years I have distinct honor of writing "Little League Notes." Now when summer baseball is over I am writing an extra in memory of Perry Walker, one of our little league managers, who passed away unexpectedly this week. Bill Davidson. William Gaugush, Gerald GU>sson. Charles Neubauer, A1 Shustitzke Darrel Whvnot. and Larry Young are returning seniors who saw It was less than a month ago that I sat down with Perry to select the all-star teams which he and I were to manage. It was Perry's idea to include all twelve year old boys on the all-star teams since it would be their last year in little league. It was typical of him to think of what was best for the boys. Indeed, Perry was the kind of manager that little league recommends - one that can see more in little league than the score of the ball game. the past big game. An example of this had the is when his team was the only one to defeat the league champions one year ago. As I look back I believe that Perry "won" every game. His goals were to let the boys play the game and develop into good sports and young gentlemen. In this he succeeded very well. Now he has been taken from us and we will miss him. But we will remember him for his and we have learned much from his example. If there is a little league in easy going style. He had class heaven, you can be sure Perry is right there, managing the angels and winning every time.
