It's operation-"Get Ready** as the days before tbeld are enjoying the cooler weather after the hot and humid their first game of the season are closing in upon them. By BertHagemann Head football coach Bill Day welcomed thirty candidates out for varsity football last week under the broiling August sun. Working out twice a day in the grueling summer heat were seven returning lettermen, headed by linemen Larry Cristy, Mike Antotyicelli and Mike Janik. Returning backs who earned their spurs last year were Gary Fairchild, Mike Neubauer0 Phil Owens and Ted Jost. The Warrior team this year shapes t© as inexperienced, small and not overpoweringly fast. However, coach Day said the squad las tremendous enthusiasm,, and this was shown in the first day physical fitness drills where thirteen members passed the required tests as opposed to only three last year. " A green squad like this could jell and surprise everyone", coach Day said, "we have a number of unknown quantities which could give some -of the North Suburban opponents fits" he further concluded. The squad in contrast tp past years, has only three linemen who tip the scales in the vicinity of 200 pounds. These are Phil Shottler, Chris Wittrock and Chris Borchardt. Other linemen who figure prominently in the preseason are Joe Seese, Jerry Freund, Ken Wahl and Larry Krepps. Junior front men include Pete Benoy, Don Thurwell, Tim Widen, Paul Nitz, Scott Nickels and Kevin Freurid. Backfield hopefuls are Matt Justes, Larry Miller, Loring Oik, Judd Decker, Glenn Hansen Kurt Kn&ack, Tom Janik, Bob Hurckes, Steve George and Roy Ingram. The offense will be basically the same as last year, with a few variations, but as of now, it is impossible to pick a starting team either way. The assistant varsity coaches are Ken Ludwig, ends and defensive backs, Ken Swan son, offensive linemen and Toby Scott, centers and linebackers. The TEENAGE SOFTBALL LEADERS Batting Averages: 1,.

The shoot, consisting of twenty- eight targets will be held at the Northern Illinois Conservation club, located three miles of Antioch on Rt. 173. five a day and 10 in possession* of which not more than one a day and two fin possession may be hooded mergansers. MALLARD IMPORTANT The mallajrd is the most important duck to the Illinois waterfowler. It is the duck he prefers to hunt arid niore mallards are taken in Illinois than any other species. Most of the mallards that migrate through Illinois are hatched and reared in the Prairie Provinces of Canada. Poor water conditions have reduced the number of potholes and sloughs in the pothole country from about two million to less than 600,000. Potholes are small, shallow depressions that are filled with water in spring when snow melts. They are essential for mallard production. But conditions must be right for meltwater to flow into the potholes and sloughs. Unless the soils hold enough moisture in fall to freeze hard, meltwaters percolate into the ground rather than run into potholes. If soils freeze hard, snow accumulation is good and the spring thaw is rapid, the potholes fill. A few rains in spring tend to keep water levels up. But drought conditions have upset the balance and a few ducks were hatched in 1968. SPECIAL REQUEST The Department of Conservation has requested permission from the U.S. Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife to hold a special 14 day season on scaup or bluebills in the Keokuk Pool of the Mississippi, where the birds gather in great numbers during the fall flights. If permission is granted, the season .will begin at sunrise, Saturday, Oct. 19, and end at sunset, Friday, Nov. 1. During this season, bluebills may be hunted from the Keokum Dam to the Fort Madison Bridge. The daily limit will be five scaup and the possession limit will be ten scaup; "'t Goose season will begin at sunrise, Monday, Oct. 14, and end at sunset, Sunday, Dec. 1 except in Alexander, Urdon, Williamson and Jackson counties. In those four southern counties where most of the Canada geese of the Mississippi Flyway winter, the season will begin at sunrise, Monday,Nov. 11 and end at 3 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 22, provided that a quota of 20,000 Canada geese is reached before the scheduled closing date. In that event the season will be closed immediately. sp» Hunting hours are from sunrise until 3 p.m. in Alexander, Union, Williamson and Jackson counties and from sunrise until sunset elsewhere in the state. The daily limit is five geese but may not include more than two Canadas or two white-fronted geese or one of each species. The possession limit of five geese may not include more than four Canadas, or two whitefronted geese or four Canada geese and white fronts in the aggregate. Geese bagged in Illinois may not be transported or shipped by common carrier, postal service or any individual, except as the personal baggage of the hunter who killed them. The championship golf match at McHenry Country club on Sunday must rate as one of the most enjoyable sports events that we. have witnessed in a long career of watching and reporting. You will see a separate story on the match that tells you of Art Jackson winning the title after an unprecedented battle that went 108 holes instead of the prescribed 72. Sport* Editors The Oscar Hollenbachs were here from Florida to watch the match. John Bolger came in from the east. ^ Both contestants wore green. Ed Buss had a real shamrock sweater and Tom Bolger questioned his right to wear it the way he was going on the first nine. Harry Conway was a study in blue. One of the first conservationists, William Penn, in 1681, decreed in his Pennsylvania colony that one acre of forest should be left standing, for every five acres that were to be cleared. had for us to stop, but we gave *er the throttle and went like hell without looking back. Of course, we were terribly sorry! But, that's going back into history so lefs get back to '68. When two golfers can play 108 holes with only one stroke difference, it has to be news. We are grateful to McHenry Country club directors and the Club Pro, Vale Adams, for providing a cart to give us a chance to cover the event. Fred Meyer was at the controls and had us right at the point of action all the way. Vale warned us to check Fred's chauffeur license as we started down the trail. It's a nice way to get around and both Fred and yours truly appreciate the nice gesture. The Jackson family turned out in great numbers to watch Art perform. Reminded us of old baseball days when the Jackson boys made news. Their parents and all the family were right there. Uncle Joe Frett was on hand and presented us with a cigar to quiet our nerves. And Champ Carol Cooney was there all the way. She recently won the women's championship. We might have been singing "Baby Ifs Cold Outside" when Warren Weber gave us a sweater to put under our jacket. In fact, he gave us two sweaters, one of which kept Florence Nischan from the chills along the way. A good Samaritan that Warren Weber. The crowd gasped when Art's putt on the 15th rested on the lip of the cup before it dropped in. That was a big one. As we toured around the course, our thoughts went back to a sumn.jr in our high school days when the 9-hole course was built. We got a job there at 70 dollars a month. How proud we were to take that first check home to our mother. Kids did things like that in those days. Andrew Eddy and his son "Toots" were in charge of the work on the fairways and greens at the start. Then came A1 Purvey with his know-how and things took shape. When Ed Buss opened a bottle of champagne to celebrate Art* s victory, Art cracked that it was well aged -- ten years coming. Art has been breathing down BF s neck in championship play for years, but couldn't make it 'til this time.'- • - ~ Ed lifted his glass and toasted the new champ with, "It couldn't happen to a better guy" and we agree. We mowed those fairways the first time they were mowed. The Club bought a Cletrac tractor from Joe Hettermann, sort of a small tank that was steered with a bar instead of a wheel. It was a tricky little devil to handle. Those hills had rocks and roots that had us off the mower every few feet to clear the blades. Rescue Squad In Action > One director thought progress was too slow so he decided to ride the mower while we drove the tractor. What did he choose but nice, smooth No. 2, fairway where the going was easy. The dust was terrible that day and his white silk shirt was a mess. He hollered with all he Ed told an interesting story of a phone call from his little sister Ella Jean, who is a secretary on Governor Romney*s staff. She phoned him Saturday night with a report that she had won a trip to Jamaica and just found out that she had won atrip for four instead of two and would Ed and Mazie like to take the trip. Ed said "sure" -- then asked when they were to start. "Tomorrow" said little sister. Ed then had to beg off because of "a golf game". With that, Ella Jean laughed and said she had just won a $25 bet from her husband. There was no Jamaica trip. She just cooked up the story after reading the big play-offinthePlaindealer. She knows her brother. He wouldn't miss that big game for all the tea in China.

With these two great competitors rising to the heights, it took 108 holes of tense golf in the past weeks to finally settle the issue. In the 18 hole match last Sunday the defending champ, Ed Buss, was 5 down at the end of 8 holes. He carded a 41 for the first nine while Jackson came through with a 37. Buss, long noted as a great golfer under pressure, came back in the last round with a par 36 to put the pressure on Jackson. 'Twas a windy, cool day and not conducive to low scoring. Nor was either golfer getting a long roll on hard drives. Both golfers showed their mettle when some with less heart and skill might have faded out of the picture. Neither trees nor traps could stop the mastery of this great pair. In the putting department, Buss took 28 to 29 by Jackson. Coming to the 18th hole with Buss 1-down, the large gallery was quiet and tense. Both drives landed on the green, but Jackson's ball was closer to the top. Buss took two putts. Jackson then knew he was in with two putts. And that's just what he did. A cautious first putt left a final short putt that must rate as the most important one of the new champ's career. Ed was the first to grasp Art's hand and offer congratulations while Mrs. Buss graciously stepped up to take a picture of the new champ. It was a battle all the way and true sportsmanship was never more evident. Buss relinquishes his title to Jackson after winning six straight cups and eight in the last ten years. With admiration for both fine competitors, your sports department extends congratulations to the new champion. May he wear the crown with pride. He earned it. BUYERS' WORKSHOPS A series of five workshops on buying procedures are being held during August to acquaint government agencies with procurement procedures. This is the first time such workshops have been conducted, said John A. Kennedy, director of the Illinois Department of General Services. • NOW ENDS THURS.
