,'yV rft 1 I * '* pg. 6, Sec. 1 - Plaindealer - Fri., Sept. 13, 1968 iffe Northern Dlinois University Football tJeKALB, 111..-- Coach Howard Fletcher heaved a sigh of relief Saturday as he grabbed a spot on the-^layers' bench at Northern Illinois university's football stadium following the Huskies last intra squad scrimmage prior to the team's 1968 football opener at Ball State University next Saturday afternoon. "That, gentlemen, was a very productive scrimmage,"* said Fletcher as he slumped against the concrete stands and talked with newsmen and radio announcers. One of Fletcher's main concerns, and one which he did not openly admit earlier, was the ability of quarterback Bob Carpenter (Willowbrook - Villa Park) to take command of the Huskies offensively. Last fall as a sophomore, Carpenter had shown flashes of being a fine Held general but on other occasions became rattled and broke out of the pocket set up by blockers. Generally, he was nailed for huge losses. "You'll notice he didn't do that once this (Saturday) afternoon, " Fletcher painted out. "I don't think he'll do it in a game, either, unless our blocking breaks down in front of him. "He's much more in charge of the game now and we don't have to help him very much with ths sequence of plays or by sending in plays. I think his problem was the lack of confidence in himself. "We noticed last spring wher. he'd come into the huddle, he'd make the decision on the play in the huddle. When he'd call the play to the team, I don't think he was exactly sure he wante to use the play he was calling sometimes. "But we got him aside and told him to stay out of the huddle until his mind was made up and then step into the huddle and call the play loud and clear and that's it. I think this has made a big difference in his play this fall." Carpenter had a good day, connecting for nine of 13 passes for 151 yards and two touchdowns and scored once himself against the second - string defensive unit. penter against Ball ^teiSatur"" day along with Bruce Bray (La- Salle-Peru) as running back, John LaLonda (Downers Grove) at fullback, and Russ Dudley (Downers Grove) at flankerback. The offensive line will consist of split end John Spilis (Thor nr idge - Dolton) and tight end Ken Laurence (McHenry), tackles David Weisendanger - (Freeport) and Bon Hower of Freeport, guards Galen Naumann (Bloom Twp. - Chicago Heights) and Tom Karac (St. Laurence -Oak Lawn) and center Mike Batina (St. Leo-Chicago). Defensively, Tom Rose (St. Patrick - Chicago) has provided a pleasant surprise for Fletcher. He has taken over the Athletes W.

Spot landing contests were held before the briefing session for the efficiency race. A field of fifteen entries flew a 130 miles four aided course, The winners were judged on how cloipe they came to their estimated time enroufe and fuel consumption, plus a questionnaire on flight knowledge. Each Ninety Nine was accompanied by a copifot. Questions on landmarks enroute were answered by contestants to prove they had flown theprescribed course.

"Lee (Wade) is going to have a tough time getting his job back*', declared Fletcher. "Rose has been atnazing. He's quicker now, covers well on pass defense and comes up to contain the end runs and the sweeps." Competition for positions has been extremely spirited despite the fact that Fletcher had 31 lettermen returning, including nine offensive regulars and six defensive starters back. This is reflected by the factthat seven sophomores have earned starting positions. End Phil Szukis (DeKalb), and tackles Bob Hastings ( Cary - Grove) and Thomas Frye (United Twp. - East Moline) and Rose have taken over defensive positions while Weisendanger, Batina, and LaLonde have stepped into offensive starint roles. Other defensive starters include Bill Murphy (LaSalle-Peru) at middle guard, Paul York (United Twp. - East Moline) at right end, Rich Sanborn (Naperville) at left cornerback , Jim Faggetti (Bloomington) and Jim Patterson (Leaf River) at linebackers, and Jim Kuffel, (Chicago - St. Patrick ) and Bill Boston ( Rich Twp. - Park Forest) at the safety posts. Hie Fletcher men survived the rigors of early, two - a -day drills well, the only casualty being Steve Parker (Oswego), a junior quarterback-flankerback. Parker sustained a broken chsek bone as a result of a mishap during a pass-pattern drill last week and will be out for approximately three weeks.

Chi a beautiful football night, the white team edged the orange by Mustangs Beat Bombers Of Crystal Lake 3-2 The Wonder Lake Mustang's Soccer team continued their winning streak last Sunday by winning over the Crystal Lake Bombers 3-2 at the Mustang's home field - the McHenry American Legion on Ringvvcsd road. The morale of the Mustangs was boosted when Bob Lees - who has teen out with a virus infection since June - couldn't stand being on the sidelines any longer and got into uniform and went in to play the second half of the game. More and more fans are coming out to see these games. First time they come out of curiosity, after that they come to cheer for their team. Next Sunday, September 15ththe Mustangs will again play at home field when they play the Rockford Harmony B team at 2 p.m. This promises to be a good exciting game since these two teams have always put on a fine show. * the measure of one touchdown^ Hie white drew f rst blood when Jerry Freund recovereda fumb^r led punt in the end zone, and the white added more scores oh a 70 yard pass play from Fairchild to Mike Janik, and on a 70 yard scamper by Fairchild on a roll out. The orange coun? ted their scores on a 3 yardrun by Phil Owen, and a 20 yard run by Paul Nitz after a fumble recovery. As is usual in early season play, the defense was ahead of the offense, and both Warrior squads had trouble moving the ball in a long drive; The offensive line left something to be desired, but on defense Antonicelli was in on every other tackle, and Thurlwell, Wahl, Neubauer and Schottler all looked good. Tonight the Warriors will journey to DeKalb for the season's opener with the Barbs. The report on DeKalb is that they have a very fine quarterback, and the squad as a whole has good size and is very fast. Hie sophomore squad will play at 6 (/clock and the varsity about 8:00, so let's make the trip and stqjport the Warriors. See ya there! Shop In McHenry 'Bli/ McHENRY. ILL 385-0144 ENDS THURS.

Kowalsld, Falmdale, Calif.: I remember --the Sound of squeeky snow underfoot, in the cold 40 degree^ below zero mornings, in upper Michigan. The old steam locomotive, building up power to move the flat cars with their load of logs, would spin their wheels sending showers of sparks and ending with a sigh of depleted energy only to try again and gain a little momentum each time. These were the days of cellar abundance. Early in the fall mother would order the winter staples from the Sears Catalogue. The fall garden vegetables, potatoes, sauerkraut, dill pickles, apples and even eggs put down' in salt brine, all had their established place in the dark recesses of the cellar. Now with the arrival of the grocery order from the Catalogue winter preparation was complete. How rich we children felt as we dipped a hand in the lug of raisins left in easy reach of the cellar door or chewed a prune or dried apricot as we read by lamp light Who could describe the delicacy of a hunk of brown sugar licked and gnawed at in its almost petrified state? I remember, all the good things behind the cellar door-- the firelite dancing behind the isin-glass windows of the coal stove--the smell of baking bread--the quiet of a family at twilite.
