PG. 4, SEC. I - PLAINDEALER - SEPT. 21, 1967 Warrior Football Team Edges Dekalb Barbs 13-12 With Last Ditch Pass BY BERT HAGEMANN Despite inclement weather, the Warriors of McHenry played to a full house Friday night in their season opener against the highly ranked Barbs of De- Kalb. Those fans who braved the rain were treated to a real thriller as McHenry pulled out a last minute, come from behind victory, 13-12. The Warriors received the kick-off and moved down the field like they were going to run DeKalb right off McCracken field. Exhibiting great ball control, the Warrior drive finally stalled inside the Barb 20, when a clipping penalty gave the Barbs the ball after over eight minutes of play had elapsed. The rest of the half saw McHenry dominate all phases of play, but it took the defensive unit to turn up the first Warrior touchdown of the season. John Reinboldt picked off an errant pass and sprinted 60 yards down the sidelines for the first score of the game. "Golden Toe" Olesczuk added the extra point, which actually proved to be the decisive play of the football game, scoring wise. The half ended with McHenry leading, 7-0, and the rain beginning to fall in earnest. RHODES IS BULLDOZER The determined DeKalb team took the field the second half and behind the bulldozing efforts of fullback Jim Rhodes, marched to a quick score and cut the deficit to 7-6 after the point attempt was missed. After the Warriors had a second down pas s intercepted, the Barbs crunched dotirnfield again and scored the go-ahead touchdown with another great effort by Rhodes. The half was a complete turn around as DeKalb completely dominated play and the Warrior attack sputtered and failed repeatedly. However, midway into the fourth quarter the orange and black put on a drive which carried them inside the Barb 50. McHenry had to punt at Imidfield, but a Barb penalty gave the Warriors another series of downs and they capitalized by moving comvincingly downfield. On a quarterback keeper, John Reinboldt was wracked up and had to come out of the game with the ball inside the Barb 20, and the clock marching towards the end of the quarter. With the ball on the eight, Tim Martin ran two plays and was knocked cold. With no experienced signal caller left, and fourth and goal on the nine, Bill Keuchel was rushed into the game to call perhaps the last Warrior play of the evening. He rolled out to his right, spotted Mike Janik alone in the end zone, and lofted a soft pass to him for the winning touchdown of the game with less than two minutes remaining. However, DeKalb took the ball down to the Warrior 20 where they finally lost the ball on downs,, and the ball game. "T* FORMATION The hysterical McHenry fans were treated to a new offense, with the Warriors running this year out of an "P* formation. > Leading ball carrier for McHenry was John Reinboldt, who rushed for 77 yards in 16 carries. John Todd racked up 37 yards, while Reilly gained 17 and Steve Huska totaled 32. Warrior first downs totaled 14, while DeKalb managed 8, none of which came in the first half. This week's game with Crystal Lake should be a good test for the opening of the North Suburban season, as Warrior fans can watch to se& if the numerous walking wounded will return to action for McHenry-. The bench strength is not overwhelming, and all hands will have to be hale and hearty if McHenry is to get off to a positive start in the North Suburban 1967 scramble for the championship. The sophomore game starts at 6:00 at McCracken field, lets see you out there to watch a big win. There is no joy to compare with the arrival of a baby. We hope, to enjoy this little bundle of joy to the fullest. Pull out the old rocking chair. Coach Bill Day and his '67 model football Warriors won their opening game, Friday night, beating favored DeKalb 13-12 before a rain soaked, - home crowd that showeda world 1 of spirit and enthusiasm. • We will not try to relate | • the details of victory since , B®rt Hagemann's report of the game will have the whole works. "Brickhouse" Bert was at X the mike again and had more Z h6y-heys in one game than he 2 had all last season. His voice - was shot after the game, but * that won't stop his ability to I write. * That man with the white I gloves was John Leighty, the > leader of the band. Something «• new this year -- a girl took X over the drum major job. That t gal was Cathy Bolger and she £ pranced in great style. Cheerleaders iiou SruiyjTiSn ;? pom-poms as they strutted and > swumg through a special number with the band. I; We were pleased to hear !; Coach Day report last week ; that he has noted fine spirit ; and cooperation at MCHS. I Cheerleaders, student council - and the entire student body "* came in for a good word. * Maybe the crowd sensed an upset Friday night. Anyhow, they needed no urging to yell in a little louder. < J- If McHenry had lost, the Mon- %• day morning quarterbacks <' would have been sure to point y out one bad call that could have y downed a less determined group £ than the Warriors. £ It was a rough night on Warrior quarterbacks as John Re- £ inboldt, Tim Martin and Don £ Reinboldt had to be taken out K due to injuries. But, Bill *2 Kuechel came in as a game saver in tossing the winning touchdown pass to Mike Janik. There wasn't much time left t* and the home crowd went wild, DeKalb had a ball carrier named Jim Rhodes whom we K would like to have on our side.

Grandma and Grandpa "So I Hear" are happy as all get out this week as Diane and Jade' announce the arrival of a boy -- a walloper weighing in at 8 pounds. Grandma has had all the embarrassment she wants af- , ter hearing Grandpa tell all who will listen what an exceptional child this grandson really is -- The maternal grandparents, the Carl Rietesels, are reported to be up on cloud nine, but all will get down to earth soon. Grandma Rietesel called to say the baby looked like Grandpa Walsh with a wig. SO I HEAR By Earl Walsh At 6' and 190 pounds, this Rhodes can carry the mail. Ernie Useman and Jerome Buch presented Vale Adams, President of the high school board, with a large key to the new building built by members of the McHenry Rotary Club. A store room doubles as a refreshment stand at one end, rest rooms at the other. It was a project in which many Rotarians gave many hours of their time. It doesn't seem possible that 40 years have slipped by since the McCrackens came to McHenry and were welcomed as back door neighbors by the Walshes of Main street. Our mother loved to have Mrs. "Mac" visit her and play the old piano in the parlor (sometimes known as the front room in those days). Friday night was a big night in McHenry. Some of those Warriors played all the way for that big victory. And - what a difference a kick makes! Hie press coop was filled as visiting camera men and radio announcers joined the usual local group. George Cina made the coffee, then went to work with his movie camera. With that 13-pound camera on his shoulder, we decided George needs a caddy. September 12, 1967 % Alameda, California Dear Earl, Hope this letter finds you in the best of health and highest spirits. Just got last week's paper and was reading your column when I decided to drop you a short letter. I wanted to tell you I attended the Cub VJS. Giant game last Friday and thought that the Cubs didn't do too badly considering. Now don't get me wrong, Pm not a "cubby" fan like some people who have been bothering you quite a bit this year. You should tell them it is about time they started winning some ball games. After all, the White Sox sure have been setting a pretty good example of how a ball club stays right in there till the end. Tell Junior Freund to watch the Sox start really rolling now that the money is really coming into fair view. Enjoy your column very much. Sincerely, Buddy Gende Thanks for writing, Buddy. We hope your letter will inspire others to send us a line --even if they are Cub fans! The shells tossed into Paris by Germany'8 Big Bertha during World War I, weighed about 330 pounds, and cost $8,400 each. X HE MILLER I HE AIRE PHONE 356-0032 WOODSTOCK.

Strong Dundee Downs Warrior Harriers, But Frosh* Sophs Show Class The Wonder Lake Mustangs were right in their stride again last Sunday at Christ the King Field in Wonder Lake when they took the visiting Rockford team down the line io a 4-2 score. In the first half Walt Scott and Albert Van Berkum scored the goals for the Green and White Mustangs. Rockford also scored two goals in this half. Starting out the second half with a 2-2 tie the Mustangs started to paw up the ground a bit and moved into their now familiar full blast offense. Walt Scott came thru with the third goal and Bob Lees finished it off with the fourth. It was a hard fought game and a good game as any of the spectators will attest. Seventy-seven adults attended the game and about twenty children. Our spectators group is growing all the time. Each week we see new faces and then the next week they are back again and the next and the next. And a rousing cheering group they are, too. The Mustang cheering section is getting quite well known. The team loves them as much as they love their team. JOIN IN CELEBRATION After the game the players and the spectators who cared to come were all invited to the American Legion for an after - the - game celebration. Since the Rockford team had been so nice to us last week we tried to return the favor this week. Some of the gals of the Mustang Booster Club pitched in and provided barbecues, potato chips, and coffee for all the guests. Many thanks to Louise Marke, Helen Reuter, Ronnie Perry, Cathy Dockery, Margaret Thomas, Sharon Taylor, Mrs. Boyd, Mrs. Zicco, and Betty Lamont for their fine job. In the entertainment depart- , ment George Taylor with hi s^ electric guitar and Ron Zicco with his accordion showed that soccer isn't their only talent. One of the Rockford boys also played the guitar for awhile, and very well, too. EXPERIENCED REFEREE A great big vote of appreciation to Mr. Cornelius Lulofs of Antioch for his fine job as referee. Mr. Lulofs was also kind enough to go to the Rockford game last week and referee for us. He is an experienced referee from Holland and has refereedgames professionally in Holland, Germany and England. He Seems to like our Mustangs and they certainly like him. ^ Next Sunday the Rockfdrd Milling Co., teani'mH-play the Crystal Lal^BtSfriibers at Wonder Lake field. In the Mustang News which is handed out et half time it was stated that this game would be in Crystal Lake but this was an error. The game will be in Wonder Lake at Christ the King Field. Then, if negotiations which are taking place this week come out right, our Mustangs may play the winners of this match directly after the Crystal Lake game. If this doesn't come to pass due to time schedules, lateness, etc., the playoff game will be held the following week then the Mustangs will play the winners of next week's game. Watch your local stores for our posters advertising the games. Fishing Championship At Antioch Sunday Antioch, 111.--George Kraymer of McHenry, the defending and 1964 champion, will seek an unprecedented third Illinois - state individual fishing championship when he opposes a field of at least 40 other challengers in the finals on Channel lake and Lake Catherine in the Chain o*Lakes region near here (Antioch), Sunday (Sept. 24.) Niagara Falls has receded about K mile since discovered by white man, or an average of about 5 feet per year. Last Thursday, on a muggy warm day, the varsity tracksters of McHenry succumbed to an extremely strong Dundee squad, 16-46. Coach Don Seaton feels this Dundee team is one of the strongest he has ever seen this early in the season, as their times, starting at 9:17 were excellent for this time of the year. The best the Warriors could do was a fifth place finish, by Tony Wagner, followed by Roby in 8th place, Fuchs 11th, Bockman 12th, and Borther 17th. The squad size has increased to eight members now, and Jack Flijit will be assisting as student manager. However, all was not bad news on this September 14. The strong frosh-soph squad, led by Brad Pictor, Fred Stark, Eric Weiss, George Bradley, Scott Fuhler, and Leo Thompson, walloped the baby Cardunals, 23-32. The squad now numbers over 20 members, with recent additions, and perhaps; some of these younger members will be making a name for themselves in the cross country articles in the near future. So far, the varsity sports a 1-2 record, while the young Warriors are undefeated at 3-0. This Tuesday, the 19th of September, the tracksters ran in a meet against Elgin, but the results won't be available until next week's edition. If possible, try and get out to support a hustling, hard working bunch of high school athletes. Pm sure they will run harder with some fans there to cheer them on. Michigan, an inland state, has a shore line of about 3,000 miles. @F>H/w/Lr OUTDOOR Its. 120 & 21, Grayslok KIDDYLAND BA 3-8155 -- OPEN WEEKENDS -- FRI. - SAT. - -SUN., SEPT. 22 - 24 SmBY PMTIHI ROD STEIBEB rWNORMAN JEW1S0N • ...
