The several delays, were caused by the hot competition of the 16 cars starting the feature race. A1 Sctiiui, Bill Bohn, Jim Bozeman and Mouse Wade were involved in the first tangle on the opening lap. The cars were nearly ready for the green flag when Jim Sullivan pulled off and Whitey Harris ran up and over the wheel on Wade's car. This delay was only a short one and then at the drop of the green flag, Tom Anderson shot his yellow jacket modified into the read. Eddie Loomis was second four five laps but Ken Hanson raced by him .and was running for the front when his car broke a king p{n. This started a chain of events that ended up with three cars badly damaged and driver Bill Bohn in the Rescue Ambulance with a cut knee. Bill Bohn was not able to get his car ready for the second restart and took over the car, of 1SPOR' Congratulating The Champ Art Jackson, left, and Ed Buss are shown shaking hands after finishing in a tie for the McHenry Country Club Championship. The final round of the 72 hole event was held last Sunday with Art and Ed finishing one stroke ahead of Gary Adams and four shots in front of Dick Rosing. Buss, shooting for his seventh consecutive club championship, and Jackson played an extra 18 holes in an attempt to decide the championship. When Art birdied the 17th hole to go one shot up, a large crowd was sure anew champion would be crowned, but Ed sank a long birdie putt on the 18th hole to again deadlock the match. Both players shot two final rounds of 73. The 1968 Club Championship will be decided next Sunday, August 25, when Jackson and Buss tee off for the 6th round of what was scheduled aga72hgleevent. ^ In addition to the co-leaders and Adams and Rosing, the following players competed for the championship: Ray Spiess, Don Hojnacki, Bill Gutzmer, Dick Weber, Paul Overton and Joe Nischan. Dick Turner won the 72 hole handicap tournament with Don Wattles finishing 2nd and Herb Relhansperger in 3rd place. The deadlock was a fitting climax to one of the best tournaments held in the history of the McHenry Country club. Dick Rosing lead the tournament through most of the first three rounds, and made a great try for an eagle on the 71st hole, which would have put him back in contention. Gary Adams held the lead after three rounds and most of the final round and fell one shot off the pace on the 70th hole. His birdie attempt on the final hole just missed causing a three-way tie. rl Walsh SO I HEAR It was a real treat to join members of the McCullom Lake Sportsmen's club for a picnic in the wooded area of their grounds near Hebron on Sunday. Man! They put it on right. Barbequed chicken, sweet corn and the whole works. That's livin'! \tor\J seven inning game. A family dinner is planned, followed by a double header baseball game. Jack Reilly and Craig Thoren, the team coaches, are in charge of the event. Play begins at 1 p.m. at Doenecke field, 1015 W. Broadway, Pistakee Highlands. It was a pleasure to meet Joe Wagner Monday morning. The Sox had won two games Sunday and you know who lost two. Too often we have met Joe coming out of church and he gives me THAT smile. We know he hasn't been praying for our side. One thing we can say for the winter months, you don't have to watch the re-runs on TV. Junior football - All those interested in the McHenry Junior Football league, please note that registration will take place today, Wednesday, August 21 at the VFW field - 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. The first practice and continued registration will be Thursday evening -- same place, same time.

When we ran into the name of Dennis Jackson, our eyes perked up. Here is what the coach had to say: " Jackson is a Junior College transfer from Oklahoma. My friends from theSooner" state sent me word on this boy and he has lived up to every detail. Excellent hands and a knack for getting open, make him a "can't miss' prospect." VISCOUNT ASSISTANCE Following a truck accident which damaged the vehicle and many of the McHenry Viscount drum and bugle corps instruments, an appeal has been made for assistance. Anyone interested in helping is asked to contact Tim Calinno at the Legion hall on Wednesday or Thursday nights. Dad's Boss Helps Pay for College The newest way to finance that expensive college education, according to Educational Testing Service of Princeton^. N. J., is to get help from Dad's employer. ^ ) There are now about 250 companies with programs for giving scholarships to sons and daughters of employees, and 85 more are contemplating similar ventures. Awards range from $100 to $25,000 and total* about $45 million annually. The average number of awards granted is ten per company. Dad's corporate boss may be the key to a college degree for children of employees of such firms as W. T. Grant, the retail chain; Gulf Oil Company and Rollins, Inc., Atlanta-based diversified service company. Sportsman's Club The McHenry Sportsmen's club will celebrate Founder's Day on Sunday, August 25th at the club grounds on the west side of Pistakee Bay. Organized way back in 1926, the club grew in size and popularity, and was Incorporated as a not-forprofit organization in 1948. It has been a going concern since its inception, dealing in sportsmanship, marksmanship and safe gun handling. In all of its long history there has never been a firearms accident sustained at any of its shoots. The current slate of officers to whom has been entrusted the responsibility of managing the club's affairs includes Wallace Manz, Fox Lake, president; Lewis Pitzen, McHenry, vice president; Harry Stern, Antioch, secretary; and Adrian Armit, McHenry, treasurer. Di- . c.. i .. .7 r,.. rectors are Arvid Hamrick, ALSO at Stimulating the Gifted, Woodstock; Robert Hey wood, ° Antioch, and Joseph Lally, Mc- Carol Cooney, after winning the club championship at the McHenry Country club, is being congratulated by Dee Overton after the girl^battled^hrough the^ final round. New Dimensions in Learning Aimed Henry. A special shooting program will mark the day, starting at 11 a.m. featured on the days program will be the Hi-Lo- White Bird Shoot, designed especially for the average and beginner shooter to enable them to win an equal share of the prizes against the expert gunners. In this one, the highest scoring gun, the lowest tallying shooter, and the lucky one who bags the white bird wins a prize each. All of the other regular events will be cm the days program too. Winners will be rewarded with tender-aged Jopat steaks and chickens. Shooters are urged to bring their families along to use the club's picnic grove for a cook-out. This is free to the shooters. President Wallace Manz announced the opening of the club's , membership rolls for a limited time, to fill a few vacancies. Application may be obtained at the club house Sunday. Just as there are newly developed packaged "remedial reading" systems for teacher aids, so too there are "supplementary" packaged systems designed to stimulate the average, the bright, and the highly motivated pupils to go beyond their ordinary classroom work. New systems of this type for elementary and junior high school levels produced by New Dimensions In Education, are gaining favor \ among teachers. These packaged systems include cards, film strip, self checking devices and professional guides for teacher to use the sets in encouraging students to extend their learning at their own pace. • • * Turning a repetitive lesson from a sometimes-tedious drill into a creative experience is aim of new educational devices such as the "Language Master" instructional system. . . Through a recording and playback device, students can hear instruction from prerecorded cards, then repeat and record what the cards have just played. A wide selection of programs has been prepared for use with the "Language Master," by the manufacturer, Bell and Howell. Denny McKay of Elgin who had qualified for the pole spot. This change in drivers of course put Bohn to the back behind {tgrris and Roger Otto. , When Hanson's car got in trouble, it went sideways right in front of the judges stand, nearly flipped, lost the complete front axel and hit the wall. Claude Potter went over one of these wheels and spinning sideways just as Bill Bohn came along and he too hit the front axel assembly breaking up the . magnezium rear wheels and tearing the rear end out of the McKay Honker Modified as he hit Potters car. On the restart, Anderson was still the leader with Bergsma now second followed by Sorce, Loomis, Otto and Harris. These two bad come through the traffic together with first Harris ahead and then Otto for all ten laps and pattern didn't change for the next ten laps. Oil the twentieth lap, Otto got by Bergsma for second but one lap latter Harris was again behind Otto. Then on the next lap while Otto was dogging Anderson hoping for him to make a mistake that would take him out of the grove, Harris shot by him to go all the way into the lead. It took Otto three more laps to move around the steaming car of Anderson and by then Harris had too much of a lead for Mm to overcome. The race ended with Otto second, then Anderson, Sorce, Loomis, Bozeman, Cameron, Wade. Bergsma and Hes. The race between Harris and Otto as they raced to stay with each other because of the tight battle for the point lead and _ championship was a great racing treat with Otto jumping his Pontiac powered car in a fashion seldom seen in modified. All the races prior to the feature were progressing smoothly with Lauren Lawrence winning the first heat and Jr. Dodd, Loomis and Sorce picking up the next three hear race checkers. Jr. Dodd came back to win the semi-feature race after taking the lead away from LaWrence. who finished second 'ahead of Bob Ratajczyk, Jim Fiscus, J. W. Jamerson and Ken Monroe. -A spin by Tim Seyl in the late model feature added to the chance § by three drivers who had qualified ' faster than he had for the feature, to win the bonus money. However, the winner of the feature race was Mike Jocabi who had started in the first row. Seyl had been lapped while he was spun and had unlapped himself from every car but Jacobi's as he crossed the finish line just behind Mike finishing in 9th place. Jack Ashenbrunner was second then Herb Arhnet and Arnie Haussmann. Other late model events were won by Don Pulera, Tom Teske, Ralph Sinnen and Richard Fournier. 11 The only change in the first ten in point standing order wad the move of Don Sorce from 7th to 6th ahead of Jim Sullivan. While Harris gained cn both Otto and Bohn in tha point standings again, neither are out for the championship should Harris have difficulty. Harris has now won seven feature races at Wilmot this year and the possibility of him hitting a slump now with only three races remaining are very remote. The next race will be on Wednesday night when the ladies race in a Powder Puff derby event for the^final time this year. The late model and modified action will be spiced by the entry of several drivers, that are not regular competitors at Wilmot on Saturday nights. Now Computers Treat Students As Individuals In Palo Alto, Calif. -- or in Brooklyn, New York -- a youngster carries on a "conversation" with a computer. What's the conversation? It might include such comments as "Try again" or "Thank you, Barbara," for today's electronic teacher treats children as individuals, lets them learn as fast as they can and doesn't get angry when they make mistakes. Tested first in a comprehensive experimental set-up at Palo Alto, a computerbased instructional system (CBI) is now operational in 15 New York City schools. The system was developed by Radio Corporation of America, with the assistance of a grant from the U.S. Office of Education. CBI acts as a private tutor, addressing each child by name, letting him know immediately whether he's right or wrong and giving instant reinforcement when his answers are right. Classroom keyboards are linked to a master computer far away. In the wave of electronic innovations cascading across the nation's schools, the Oak Leaf elementary school in Pittsburgh, Pa., offers another type of computercoaching for children. An audio mechanism is used in combination with TV screen. The person who reads wisely and widely is generally the one who leads others.
