PG. At - PLA1NDEALER - OCTOBER 11, 1967 WARRIORS UPSET NORTH CHICAGO WARHAWKS 7-6 , At this ,writing those Boston Red Sox aren't dead yet. Of course, they can't pitch Jim Lonborg every day so they should pray like old Boston Braves when they had only two pitchers - "Spahn^and Sain and two days of rain." Those Cardinals have a great man in that Lou Brock. He does everything right. Consensus of opinion is that the Cubs pulled a rock when they traded Lou Brock. SO I HEAR By Earl Walsh OK as long as they give us laugh. In a post mortem on the '67 White Sox, George P. Freund came up with the idea that they do something to spoil good hitters. They show pitchers how to pitch, but not batters how to bat, as George sees it. Saw three men (we think they were men) wearing straw hats. One wore a long topcoat so he must have known summer is long gone. We haven't had much chance to headline Coach Don Seaton's Cross-Country athletes this year, but it is to the credit of both coach and athletes that they are showing real improvement each week. It appears that material isn't deep enough, but things look bright for the future when some of the younger boys reach the varsity. We have always wantedtosee an exhibition game in which they allow a batter to forget the count and pick out a good one to swing at when it comes over. Now they have to look down to the third base coach to see if the take sign is on. We couldn't attend the Warrior football game at North Chicago Saturday afternoon to see the game, but got the glad news from Ed Wittrock in a phone call. You couldn't have seen Eld's smile any better on television. That was a great victory. Many close observers were hoping the Warriors could just keep it close. They did! But, they held the edge 7-6 when it was all over. Coach Bill Day must have those battling Warriors believing in themselves. They play 'em close, but hold the edge. We saw many years when McHenry couldn't make those all important points after touchdowns. We have seen the golden toe win games this year. The Warriors play another afternoon game this week, this Kmp at Barrington against another power packed eleven. Remember, this game is scheduled for Saturday afternoon.

The running conditions were perfect, and the top three Warrior runners finished well. However, the lack of depth showed up in the standings further down the line as the Broncos pushed across their scoring runners before the Warriors. Tony Wagner copped a second place, fojlowed by Dennis Roby in 3rd, and Brad Pictor in 6th. The next Warrior runner, Mark Smith, came in 9th, followed by Tom Fuchs in 12th place. Fuchs and Gary Bockman ran better in this meet than they had in any prior race, and seniors Don Yoight and Bob Steffan are learning that they can run, and coach Don Seaton feels they will be making their presence felt in the near future. On Saturday, the 30th of September, the Warriors ventured to the Crystal Lake Invitational, and the sophomore team managed a second place in the meet. Running without leading scorer HOMEOWNERS.

The other classes did not fare as well however, as McHenry could not muster enough runners to make a five man team in any other class event. Eric Weiss* managed a 9th in the freshman race, Mark Smith finished 12th in the junior race, and Tony Wagner ran 7th tfn the senior event. This Thursday the thinclads will travel to North Chicago to face the potent Warr hawks. By Bert Hagemann The surprising Warriors have done it again. On the basis of an early touchdown and a stout defense, McHenry remained among the dwindling elite of undefeated teams in northern Illinois. Once again it was a combination of breaks, a big scoring play, and a rock ribbed defense which spelled victory No. 4 in the Warriors quest of an elusive North Suburban crown. The breaks included three North Chicago fumbles, a pass interception, and a damaging penalty. The big scoring play was Bill Kuechels' return of the opening kickoff of 85 yards, and the defense, except for one lapse, repeatedly smothered the slants of Gale Sayers like Phil Parker. Parker, the little scooter halfback, was repeatedly jammed up near the line of the scrimmage, and thankfully the Warrior fans were not treated to any of his well known broken field running. On the opening kickoff on this grey, blustery day, Kuechel gathered the ball in at the fifteen, and headed for the eastern sidelines. At the forty a big hole opened up and he sprinted through it and dashed down the sidelines to put McHenry on the board with only seconds gone in the game. Olezczuk's kick split the uprights and the orange and black held a 7 -0 lead. The teams traded punts back and forth as the War hawk mistakes stopped their scoring thrusts, and the Warrior offensive efforts were stopped stone cold. In the second quarter, the North Chicago secondary picked off an errant pass, and proceeded to launch a determined drive toward the Warrior goal line. With the ball on the 22, Harmon rolled out to his left and spiraled a pass over the confused Warrior defense to Joe Walls in the end zone. The Warhawk kick was good, but off-setting penalties ruled they must try again, and on their second effort, the kick was deflected and ruled no good. The second half saw the Warriors generate a little more offense as they picked up most of their total of 137 yards gained for the entire game. Tim Martin completed 6 of 11 passes for 87 yards, while getting many key tackles to boot. John Todd once again led Warrior runners with 31 yards in 13 carries, while big Chuck Reilly garnered 16 yards in 7 carries. The end of the game was a typical finale for this season. Frank Merriwell couldn't have played the script any better. Witti the clock running out, the Warhawks struck deep in McHenry territory to the 10 yard line for a first down. Two pass plays and a run failed, and the Warriors snuffed out the last scoring attempt with only 16 seconds remaining on the clock and the crowd in a frenzy. For th6 second straight week, the Warrior ground attack was stifled, and the orange and black must get this phase of their game back into shape for this week's tilt with the Broncos of Barrington. Some of the walking wounded will be returning by this Saturday, and they will most likely be needed to stop the antics of quarterback Brian Clay and company. A win will definitely mark the Warriors as the team to beat this year; let's back the Warriors and make the trek to the Bronco corral this Saturday. Conference standings: W L 1. McHenry 3 0 2.

Edward 26-7 and Look Forward to Battle With H®Iy Cross in Homec®miing The Marian Hurricanes look forward to this Saturday afternoon's Homecoming battle against Holy Cross, their fifth game this year and their third in Suburban Catholic Conference action. Coach Tom Parsley's squad showed signs of an improved offense in its 26-7 victory over St. Edward last weekend, and featured a ground game that saw four players compile plenty of yardage. Marian carries a 2-2 season record into the fray against a foe that two weeks ago beat St. Edward, 34-6. A year ago Marian nipped Holy Cjross, 7-6, so the Hurricanes know Holy Cross comes to Woodstock with revenge in mind. One highlight of this 1967 Marian season has been the development of John Anderson as an all-around quarterback. "He's the best running quarterback I've had in nine seasons? ' praised Parsley. This is high praise, for Marian has been blessed with outstanding quarterbacks through the years -- the verstile Mike Dorothy Ahrens Appears With Crusaders Band DOROTHY AHRENS Miss Dorothy Mary Ahrens, daughter of Mi-, and Mrs. Richard H. Ahrens, 3914 W. Mi - ler road, McHenry, is a member of the Valparaiso university Marching Crusaders band which appeared in new uniforms as a major attraction of the traditional VU Homecoming weekend, Friday to Sunday, Oct. 6 to 8. . Under the direction of Prof. Norman Hannewald, the seventy -five bandsmen marched in the colorful homecoming parade Saturday morning. They also presented a special halftime show at the football game between the VU Crusaders and the Butler university Bulldogs Saturday afternoon. The new band uniforms are cut in slender West Point style, black in color and embellished front and back with "overlays" of metallic gold cloth, complemented by 10-inch high white fur hats and by white spats. Purvey and the powrrfuL ning Tim Murphy to piention two that come to mind< Anderson is not as powerful as Murphy, but is faster. He's not the passer of his predecessors but Parsley feels he has the capacity to become one of the most dangerous passers in Hurricane annals. The 6*1", 185-pound quarterback gained 117 yards in running, the same total Greg Todey picked up during the St. Edward game. Steve Blascovich gained 61 yards and Tom Clark netted 86 yards. In passing, Anderson completed seven out of 11 passes, but netted only 57 yards. The St. Edward-defense was geared to permit the short passes and could notcontainthe Marian running game. "We'll exploit the defensive weaknesses in games ahead" Parsley predicted. "This team has the balance and necessary experience to move the ball if it will avoid fumbles and careless mistakes." Scoring for Marian against St. Ed were Anderson and Todey. Anderson's first touchdown came on a quarterback sneak following in a drive in which Todey lugged the ball for a total of 63 yards! Todey scored the second touchdown on a fine 20-yard run through the middle. Anderson scored in the third period on a two-yard rollout following gains of 24 yards and 20 yards by Blascovich. Blascovich and Clark gained most of the yardage in the final drive, with Todey scoring. The Hurricanes opened the season with a victory over Belvidere, but then bowed to Boy- Ian of Rockford and Notre Dame of Niles. Two players injured in earlier games are doubtful starters this weekend against Holy Cross. Dennis Hurley will miss (me more game. He's on the defensive unit in the line and Tom Byrnes has been playing both defense and offense to replace Hurley. Ray Geimer, offensive guard, was hurt against St. Edward. If he must miss this weekend's Homecoming fun, Kent Cooney or Tony Pokorny will go into the lineup. Tim Gummer son also goes into the offensive unit as a tackle with Pokorny shifting to guard. Homecoming activities begin Friday night with the traditional bonfire, followed by a sock hop and announcement of the Homecoming queen. The varsity game starts at 2 p.m. Saturday. The weekend comes to an end with the Homecoming dance Saturday night. The Marian Student Council is in charge of the activities. Dr.SIMS says... SAFEGUARD YOUR HEALTH A PUBLIC SERVICE OF THE ILLINOIS STATE MEDICAL SOCIETY Contrary to popular belief a "slipped disc" actually doesn't slip - it ruptures. Regardless of the expression used to describe the problem the result is the same. . . severe pain. To fully understand the circumstances of a ruptured disc, one must understand the role of-the disc as part of the spine. The spine is made up of hard, bony vertebrae which support the trunk on the pelvis. In between each vertebra is a. soft, spongy disc that allows the spine to bend and curve with the position of the body. Actually, it serves as a shock absorber to jarring, pressure or sudden changes of movement -- much in the manner of the shock absorber in your automobile. Ruptured discs most commonly occur in the lower back or lumbar region because -- with the entire weight of the upper body resting on the framework forming the lumbar area -- this region is subject to considerable stress and strain. The disc itself is composed of a strong, fibrous ring of tissue, something like a small inner-tube, filled with a softer spongy material. When a condition occurs producing sufficient strain, the "inner-tube" tears, allowing the softer material to ooze out into the spinal canal. Thus, the term "slipped disc" takes it nam.? from this "oozing out" process. Ruptured discs may result in severe pain in the back and leg when --in the prjossi of oozing out -- the disc material presses on a nerve root* Although the ruptured disc is sometimes found in young adults, it occurs more often in the age group above 25 years. Why? As we grow older, the sturdy and elastic tissue that The Drivers Seat That little milepost by the side of the road could save your life. In case of an auto accident, it can be the only precise reference point emergency personnel have for reaching you quickly. Without milepost references, ambulances and fire trucks sometimes spend valuable minutes looking for accident scenes or going out of their way or traveling long distances when other crews are closer to the accident in the first place. Suppose you are involved in an acciden^ and someone riding in the car with you is injured and can't be moved by car. You flag down a passing motorist and ask him to drive ahead for help. As he drives on, he notes the legend on the first milepost he passes: 93 with a smaller 42 below it, for instance. Finding a telephone, he calls police and gives them this number. Immediately the police know that the accident is near milepost 93 on Route 42. By referring to a special map they can direct the nearest ambulance to the scene by the fastest route. Important minutes can be saved. Mileposts are reflectorized in eleven states, making them especially valuable at night. When all other reference points along the road are invisible in the darkness, the numbers on these little signs shine brightly in your headlights and are readable at a glance. The milebosting concept, which .Wtised] in all 50 states on the Interstate System and in -19 of them of other roads, also renders other valuable services: it assists drivers in estimating their progress and orienting themselves for decisions they may have to make; and it aids highway crews in the. general maintenance and operation of the roads. gives the disc the necessary support to sustain the vertebrae and body weight loses some of its fluid content. The result? The tissue of the disc thereby loses some of its elasticity and begins to degenerate and fray, resulting in a weakening of the normal supporting mechanism. Under normal circumstances a person could go through his entire life without experiencing symptoms of this aging process because the disc may still function normally even though it has less support and elasticity. It is when the degenerative process becomes more marked that a person is apt to incur a ruptured disc. A violent injury is not necessary to produce the condition because it can stem from the simple act of sneezing. The intense pain accompanying a tup ing a ruptured disc may become so severe that the physician recommends surgery. However, all cases of ruptured discs require restful medical management before a decision is reached as to the type of treatment to be followed. Some persons respond well to bed rest, limited types of corrective exercise, traction and corrective jackets. Others, however, require surgery. ADULT EDUCATION PROGRAM The Adult Education program of the McHenry public schools still has openings for students - in all courses of study. Interested persons are asked to contact Gene Little, community school director, at the McHenry Junior high school. BIG BABY This little inhabitant of Chessington, E n g l a n d Zoo i s n ' t q u i t e ready to stand up on its own two feet as yet. Someday it will be a really big swinger. Right now, after a dip, the baby gorilla wants mommy and a nice dry towel. How Can I? Q. What is a good tip for the touching-up of interim paint jobs? A. Whenever youdo any painting inside the house, fill an empty fingernail polish bottle with some of the leftover paint. The small brush in this bottle is just right for touching up chips and scratches that almost inevitably make their appearance on walls and woodwork, and the paint of course matches perfectly. Q. How can I make a substitute for whipped cream? A. Grate one apple, add two'" or three tablespoons of sugar and one egg white, then beat until light. Q. Can you suggest a good "emergency " underarm deodorant? A. Dry be carbonate of soda is quite effective. While it doesn't check the perspiration itself, it does check the odor. Q. How can I determine from the flame in my hot-water heater whether the heater is working efficiently or not? A. If the flame is red or orange -- and not predominantly blue -- it needs adjusting. It's not giving as much heat as it should, and it forms carbon on the bottom of the tank, which slows down the heating of the water. Some of the carbon drops into, and clogs the burner outlets. t Q. How can I make my own earrings to match a particular dress? A. Buy two buttons more' than you need for that dress, then with colorless fingernail polish fasten these buttons to the base of an old pair of earrings. Q. How can I make use of a rubber hot water bottle that has a tiny leak in it? A. Instead of filling it with hot water, fill it with hot salt. Salt, it's said, will keep hot longer than water. Q. How can I prevent spot rings from forming on fabrics when removing stains from them? A. By placing a felt-covered furniture floor cup under the spot while applying your cleaning fluid. This in addition to preventing a ring from forming, also aids in preventing the fabric from slipping about while you are rubbing the spot. Q. How can I repair small holes in linoleum? A. By carefully filling these holes with a mixture of finely chopped cork and liquid glue, which is permited to dry thoroughly and then giveri a coat of clear varnish. Q. What can I do for my hands when they fell puckered up after long immersion1 in soapsuds? A. Rubbing them with vinegar or lemon juice will give relief and make them soft and white. Q. How can I renovate satin material?. A. Rub over the soiled parts with a cake composed of magnesia and prepared chalk. Follow the grain of the goods. Let it remain for several hours, then rub off with a soft cloth. Mexican Highway Mexico will complete a 138- mlle section of its Pacific Coast highway by the end of the year. The highway will then bring motorists 2,187 miles from Tijuana, on the California border, to a point near Colima, more than halfway down the coast. Eventually, the roadway will extend to the Guatemalan border.
