PG. 4, - PLAINDEALER - WED., APR., 24, 1968 [ ' • --• ' lining. Up Golf Shot ",V. ! I * £ori L SO I HEAR There must be an end to all this misery. Coming out of church Sunday morning George Rodenkirch asked, ,"Are we ever going to win a game?" If you think Manager Eddie Stanky has to take a lot of guff, just think of a poor downtrodden sports editor. After all, Stanky gets paid big money to take it. Sports Editor That same morning "Ike" died suddenly in his home in Woodstock. Guess we carftplan too much in this life. In his younger years "Ike" made the sports pages as a baseball pitcher. Grandma Britz had almost enough sons playing baseball to make a team. She is still a mighty spry gal in her 80's. That smile on Herb Reihansperger* s map is worse than the spoken word. Tom Bolger thinks Stanky should be allowed to platoon his players -- let Pete Ward bat, then have somebody else do his fielding. Sounds good. The Sox have had their kicking unit in too much. Baseball must have been in the blood. Grandma had two grandsons, Billy and Bob Klaus, who played major league baseball. And we think it was their sister whom we saw playing ball at a picnic one time. She was better than a lot of boys. When a woman, whom we had never met, asked "How are your Sox doing?" we found out Chuck Peterson was behind the scenes. As if we didn't have enough troubles, Foreman John just phoned -- cracking the whip. He needs copy for the sports page. He is back from a trip to that great state of Texas and expects big things. We mentioned Dick Rabbitt being in to see us last week. That .day he told us he and "Ike" Britz had planned to play golf -- just nine holes - not to overdo. But, it was raining so they called off their game. "Ike's" son, Terry, looked like a real comer on the mound at one time, but chose other fields. Most successful people seem to be those who 1) do things other people don't want to do 2) do things other people can't do, or 3)do them better.

(Of course the cup isn't quite as large as that circle our photographer, Wayne Gaylord, shows in the foreground). The first thing Terry said when we met him at his dad's wake was, "How is my old friend Joe Frett". Terry played ball for Joe. So -- another one of the Britz boys struck out. If they don't have baseball for them up there, it won't be heaven. On May 1, 1968 the McHenry Chamber of Commerce in cooperation with VFW Post 4900 and the McHenry high school are sponsoring the All -Sports Banquet for. athletes of the McHenry high School.

Alsopresented at the dinner will be honors and awards for outstanding Warrior athletes in each athletic category/ The speaker at the banquet will be the wfcll known head basketball coach of the Loyola Ramblers, George Ireland. In 16previous seasons, he has led his Rambler cagers to 243 victories in 395 games. He is only the ninth coach in Loyola's 54 years of intercollegiate basketball competition, and is second in tenure at Loyola only to the late Lennie Sachs who led the Ramblers from 1923 until 1942. Ireland, 54, began his coach - McHenry Sportsman's Club The McHenry Sportsmen's club has scheduled another one of their popular "Three for a Buck" Rock Cornish Hen Shoots for Sunday April 28, starting at 11 a.m. at the club trap range on the west side of Pistakee Bay. Succulent 20 ounce Rock Cornish Hens will be the featured prizes for winning shotgunners in contests designed to produce winners for all classes of shooters. Good shooters, poor shooters, and lucky stiffs will divide the three-hen prize in the Hi-Lo-White Bird Shoot or the Double White Bird Shoot while the hot-shots will capture the works in the winnertake- all contest. Trap officers will include these contests in the 5 pairs of Doubles Contest. Also on the shoot bill of fare is the Hi- Lo, and Hi-Lo-White Bird Shoots in which the high scoring gun wins a Jopat tender-aged steak, while the lowest scoring nimrod, and the one who breaks the white bird each wins a young chicken. Straight highscoring contests, with no white birds or low scoring considerations will be on the day's schedule, for competitive-minded gun buffs. Shells and hot refreshments will be on tap all day long in the warm club house where watchers and kibitzers may view the proceedings in comfort. The club traps will be open Saturday, April 27, from 1 to 4 p.m. for practice shooting. The public is invited to attend, along with club members.

He had attended Campion Jesuit high school in Prairie du Chien, Wis., where he was All-State in basketball and in football. In 1932, he was named outstanding athlete in the National Catholic Basketball tournament. His tactics have added a new term to the dictionary of basketball terminology -- "organized confusion". Any follower of Loyola basketball had little difficulty understanding the term. He was even selected by the N.C.A.A. to produce a training film on his basketball theories and methods. The movie "High Speed Basketball" has been shown to countless coaches and - athletes throughout the nation. In recent years, Ireland has been heavily in demand as a speaker at coaching clinics and gatherings of sports fans through out the United States, and even abroad. He was selected in 1964 by the U.S. Air Force to conduct a 30-day series of basketball clinics for servicemen stationed in Eu-' rope. Athletes may obtain tickets to the function from high school athletic director Mac Mc- Cracken. Arrangements for tickets for parents of athletes also should be arranged for at the school. Other interested persons may obtain tickets from Nye Drug store, the McHenry Plaindealer and Ernie's Sport Center. HONEY BUNNY . . .

Modified Stock Cars Roar In A When the modified stock cars roar in action again at the Kenosha County Speedway in Wilmot on May 18, four past champions of the mighty modifieds will be in action. These four great modified stock car aces have a total of nine season championships. Johnny Reimer of Caladonia, Wis., has three season driving titles at the Waukegan Speedway but has never won a title at any other track. Rodger Otto of Burlington has a title at both the Kenosha County Speedway and was top driver in the modifieds at the Lake Geneva Speed Center last year. The lone Illinois driver of this group of champions is Duane Harris of Lake Villa who has the sole distinction of having won track championships at three ttracks in the past three years. \Harris was champion at Wilmot, in 1965, Lake Geneva in 1966 and won his third straight title at Waukegan last year. Don Sorce of West Allis is the fourth champion of the group. Don won his championship at Wilmot in 1961. Each of the drivers will be out to add still another season's driving title to their victories as racing starts the 1968 season at Wilmot on Saturday, May 18. The drivers and owners have formed the interstates racing association and this promises Kenosha County Speedway fans not only the top thrills by these champions, but the appearance of other top contenders like Bill Bohn of Kenosha, Jr. Dodd of Waukegan and Jim Sullivan of Antioch, plus many, many others. A ten event program of racing will be held each Saturday night throughout the summer at Wilmot plus two special holiday eve events on Wednesday, May 29 and July 3. Various animals have been tried over centuries past, and sentenced for some crime toward humans. Records show that a pig, cow and a goose were hanged for such offenses in England, a dog in Australia sentenced to one year in the pillory, and a rooster burned at the stake -- for laying an egg which was a serious mistake! cHlHS McHENRY.
