These are the eMCHS Cheerleaders who are doing a good job of encouraging the Wrestling team toward great efforts. The Cheerleaders, coaches and wrestlers are going great guns. PLAINDEALER PHOTO SPORTS M The big time sports pages have football, basketball and baseball bunping each other for space these days. It was all football for a spell. Chuck Hiller is in the news again. Good news. Chuck went from the Mets to the Phillies last season. The Phillies sent his outright release to San Diego at the close of the season. Back to the minor league wasn't for a fellow like Chuck who had known some great days and some discouraging events in the big time. An injury when the old Tiger flash was at his peak made the climb back a tough road. SO I HEAR By Earl Walsh of the Pirates, was a coach for the Phillies last year and must have seen something that he liked in the old Hiller hustle. All McHenry County will be watching and hoping for good news from the Pirate camp. ioles in the trade and may still develop into a great one. We saw him play some flashy third base and not so good second base for the Sox. If we recall correctly, Chuck hit a lofty .354 in the Texas League (known as a pitchers' league) the year before he came up to the majors. A left-handed hitter, he hit for a higher percentage against southpaws that year than against righthanders. So -- keep swinging Chuck. We are all for you. Now comes word that the White Sox have Luis Aparicio back for shortstop duties. The Sox still haven't found the right man for second base since Nellie Fox went away. Many were called, but most were frozen. Clothing drives are in swing right now and it is time to look over our simply to see if there isn't something we could spare to help keep some needy person warm throughout the winter. Clothing for men, women and children is needed. They all get cold. Maybe you have a warm blanket stored away, one you will never use. That blanket might keep the chill away from some less fortunate person, and giving it may give you a certain warmth. We shouldn't wait another week or another day to dig out those items that will mean so much to others, but never missed by most of us. Cold weather is with us. Think it over -- but not too long.

Thurx. at X p.m. Sister Evangeline, coordinator of Christ the King Religion center in Wonder Lake during the past two years, returned to the vicinity a recent weekend, stopping at Johnsburg and Richmond to meet some members of former study groups in the area. Sister is now engaged in Presentation parish, 758 South Springfield in Chicago's inner city, where Msgr. John J. Egan is pastor and where, Sister says, problems of a crowded Negro community are being realistically faced. TIMBER BUYING LICENSED No person shall engage in the business of timber buying in the state of Illinois after Jan, 1, 1968, without a license issued annually by the Department of Conservation. A timber buyer is any per son or concern with three or more employees engaged in any phase of such business, or buys trees or logs for the manufacture of any article. This would not include any person who occasionally purchases timber from a producer for his own use and not for resale. It also exempts producers of firewood, Christmas trees, fruit and ornamental trees. Information and application forms can be secured from the Illinois Department of Conservation, Division of Forestry, Room 111, State Office Building, Springfield, 111. 62706. "Many things are happening at Presentation," said Sister, "a parish council, a men's organization, and a women's club. The parish school enrolls more than 50 percent non-Catholics; over a hundred children are be-' ing taught to play band instruments; advice on real estate, an evening course in machine operation, and aid in community organization are offered by experts." "The main endeavor in a area like Lawndale," Sister added, "must be to develop the ability arid readiness of the Negro himself to become the leader in improving his personal, family and community life," Sister is giving instruction to adults seeking baptism, experimenting with religion classes for Negro children in public schools and coordinating the work of about thirty seminarians who come on Saturdays to visit homes in the parish. Sister is planning work with teen-age girls' groups. Sister Evangeline said that before she came to Wonder Lake two years ago, she had hoped for an opening like this in inner Chicago. Her work in Christ the King parish she considers to have been a valuable transition from her years of high school teaching to the apostolate in the inner city, where adaptability and availability are the watchword. "Presentation is playing a role in the gradual improvement of conditions in Lawndale,' 'Sister remarked. Of Wonder Lake, Sister said, "I feel I have so many good friends here that I wish I could extend personally my good wishes and regards to each one of them." j NORTHERN ILLINOIS CONSERVATION CLUB STEAK <N CHICKEN SHOOT Sunday December 3, starting at 10 a.m. at the NICC Club Grounds, 3 miles west of Antioch on Route 173.

Twice Told Tales Warriors Tangle With Tigers In League Opener Lost 14% 14% 16 16 20 17% 21% 25 28% By Bert Hagemann If the lure of the usual donnybrook rivalry isn't enough to lure Warrior fans into the gym this Friday night, perhaps the newly installed lighting system will provide an incentive to GUN HUNTER DEER KILL FOR ILLINOIS IN '67 IS 6,585 Springfield, 111., Nov. 20 -- Approximately 6,585 deer were taken by gun hunters during the £967 season, the Illinois Department of Conservation announced today. Reports from all check stations must be studied before the final figure, which will be slightly higher, is known. •Technicians rate the season as a success even though 782 fewer deer were taken than last year. Corn picking was behind schedule, and vegetation was heavy. The season was six continuous days, from Nov. 10 through Nov. 15, instead of being divided into two three-day weekends as in previous years. More deer are harvested during the first day of season than on subsequent days and a season divided into two portions is in effect two different seasons with two days of high kill. Hunters bagged 3,211 whitetails in Southern Illinois, 1,622 in the central counties, and 1,- 752 in the northern portion of the state. The Pope County kill was 25 percent below 1966 but the harvest in some areas bordering on this southern county was higher than it was last year. Hunters bagged large bucks. A 246-pounder was taken in Cass County, one weighing 250 pounds was bagged in McHenry County, and the largest buck a 257-pounder, was killed in Putnam County. These are field dressed weights, and they are about 26 per cent lower than the live weights of the animals. Two fatal accidents were reported during the season. One was due to a self-inflicted wound in Central Illinois, and the second occurred in northwestern county, where one hunter was killed by another. come out and watch the Warriors as they open the 1967-68 North Suburban season against thy scrappy Tigers from Crystal Lake. The orange and black from Tigertown will come into Warrior land off a big win over highly regarded East Rockford this past weekend. Led by forward Walt Herrick and a fine guard Wegener, the Tigers will be out to start their season off on a promising note. The Warriors are still seeking to find a fivesome which will click in all phases of the game. So far, when the Warriors have had the good defense, the offense hasn't functioned, and when the offense has been in high gear, the defense has failed.. Perhaps coach Ken Ludwig can find the key to a victory during practice this week, as the Warriors will work intensively to try and put everything together. Certainly McHenry will have to cut down on its floor mistakes in order to give Crystal Lake a tussle, and with some players beginning to round into shape, they may do it. One thing is certain, this will be a good ball game, and the Tigers will bring a good crowd, so if you want to be certain of a seat in the cozy Warrior confines, come early.
