Phone: 1-459-1418 Cr at Most everyone is busy with Christmas shopping and preparations and is in a giving mood. A group of globetrotting ambassadors is no exception. Although the Harlem Glovetrotters, who will be in Crystal Lake on Jan. 3, provide a great deal of horseplay, they can also be serious. The team was the high bidder for Gayle Sayers cast. They paid $3,500 for the cast in a trophy display case. This money is going to the foundation for Gary Steger, a Lake Park High School football player of Roselle. He has been paralyzed since being injured in a Sept. 28 game. The cast had been worn by Sayers for a number of weeks after a Nov. 10 injury. % This is not the first bit of charity the Trotters have been involved in. They have played benefits for every type of organization. The topper of this though was a "command performance" from Printfe Philip of England. The English Queen's husband is head of a charity group known as the Lord's Terverners. They gather each year to raise funds for providing outdoor athletic facilities for English youngsters. The Globetrotters were the first sports group to be honored. The late Abe Saperstein went all out, even paying the troupe's . expenses for the tdp to London. The greatest result of the match between the trotters and the English team was a fund of about $400,000 for the needy children's fund. Prince Philip had vowed team, composed of Lords, Dukes, Earls and show people, would beat the Trotters. They did...using all the Trotters' tricks and then some. Tea was served the English team from a teacart wheeled out by Prince Philip himself. The Trotters were served champagne though. Attendance to the affair was by invitation only and the 2,000 people there brought their checkbooks. Special invitations are not being issued when the Trotters come to the Crystal Lake High School fieldhoua®, but it will benefit children. Tickets for the night of hilarity are available at Crystal Lake businesses displaying posters. Proceeds are being used for the Crystal Lake Babe Ruth League. Information may be obtained by calling Frank's Barber Shop or Plaza Barber Shop and Recreation Cercter, Crystal Lake.
