^ PG. 6 - PLAINDEALER - WED. JAN. 22,. 1969 " Snow-mobile Open H^use At Rockford Speedway Hugh Derry, President of the .Rockford Speedway, announced here today the date and plans for the 1st Annual Family Snowmobile Open House at the Rock - ford Speedway, have been set for Sunday January 26 from 10:00 a.m. to dark. Everyone, married, single, adult or child, who already owns a snow-mobile, or who has an interest in this facinating new winter-time fun sport, is invited to attend. It's all free and it will offer a chance for families to use their snow mobiles on the varied terrain of the Rockford Speedway 30 acre site located at routes 173 and highway 51. The hi-banked speedway will also be available and those who wish to race will be accommodated. Invitations have been mailed to all the area snow mobile dealers and several will be on hand offering demonstrations to all who attend. A warming shed will be available and coffee and hot chocolate will be served. Those who wish may come and just watch the activities from the pit area grandstand. Due to main grandstand construction work, only the pit gate entrance will be open. Hugh Derry recently attended snow mobile meets in Soldiers Field in Chicagoand the National Meet at Eagle River, Wisconsin and is anxious to give the northern Illinois snpw-mobile enthusiasts an opportunity to use their machines and for others to learn about this rapidly expanding winter sport. Depending upon the amount of interest, he will later announce plans to hold'an annual snowmobile meet in February that would grow to be as big as his National Short Track Championship Stock Car Race thatannually attracts thousands of fans and the best late model stock car drivers and Champr ions from many areas. Earl Walsh SO I HEAR Sports Editor Being one of the yesteryear citizens who retains pride and patriotism in this land of ours, the inauguration of President Nixon on Monday reassured us that we live in the best country on earth. Now, any time our comedians stop making jokes about men and women in responsible positions it will be all right with us. It does something to our sense of humor. Another thought. Those idle Regardless of party lines, goofs parading with enemy flags good Americans respect the should try that sort of action office. We also respect the in any other country. Can you man in office. He must be imagine how, long they would quite a man to reach the top. last? President Johnson, whose good work will only be recognized later, stepped down with dignity and good grace that prompted words of respect from President Nixon. Whatever their political differences may have been, both leaders showed they are BIG men. They are Americans. Our Warrior basketball team is giving it the hard try, but haven't enough to get in the winning side of the ledger. Think you should give the team another look Friday night when Barrington comes to Mc- Henrv. We will let you know what we see. jfcHenry Sportsman's Club The McHenry Sportsmen's Ciub has scheduled two shooting treats for shot gun fans, set to come off on successive week-ends. The first of the pair, a prize shoot featuring the new Modified International Trap will take place on Sunday January 26th at 11 a.m. All of the club's special events will be fired off on this one. including single, double, triple and quintuple White Bird Shoots, as well as the single winner high score .shoots. In Modified International Trap, the targets leave the trap at the regular unknown angles of 47 degrees to the right and left of center, plus all the angles in between, but 3t heights varying from tour feet above the ground, up to eleven, measured ten yards in front of the trap. • In regular A.T.A. Trap targets are set at a height. of between eight and twehe f£et, usually nine feet; and they must fall a distance oi fifty yards. In Modified Trap the target More -Oranges, apples and bananas are sold, in order names, than any other fruit. Big Zee-B ees Too Strong For McHenry Warrior Five, 72-59 The big and rough Zee Bees of Zion-Benton sunk the Warriors deeper into the North Suburban cellar this last Saturday night on the home hardwood by the margin of 72 to 59. This Zee Bee ball club, led by the expert marksmanship of junior Pete Czopinski, rolled up a 34 point margin in the first half, and then held on to win. This fine junior ball club from' the lake front featured a race horse fast break and a tenacious defense to overcome one of our better offensive efforts of the season in conference play. McHenry once again got out of tl^e starting blocks well, but an 8 point second quarter, measured against an 18 point performance by the opponent, gave the well recognized indication of another tough night of trying to come from behind. Zion swished the nets for a 43 percentage from the floor, while the Warriors managed a 30 percent mark themselves, although failing at the charity stripe to the tune of 11 successes against 11 failures. The Warriors attack was fairly balanced, with Morenz getting 13 markers, followed by Knaack with 10 points, and Don Smith with 9. Tne story of this ball gamf; can probably te told in two parts however. One was the ability of Zion to shoot over the ever hustling Warriors defense/* and the other is the very fine defense played by the Zee Bees themselves i Their constant pressure all over the floor by Bert Hagemann eventually wore down the smaller Warriors, and even the heroic efforts ot Mine Morenz, Don Reinboldt, and Gary Fairchild under the glass could not overcome the hard rebounding of the Zion fronUiners. So v^e wait for another week, an:c>- ously looking for som.-j indication that McHenry will begin to score points in bunches throughout the game. This week it's Barrington as first round conference play comes to a close. The ga'n.

Two shots may be fired at each target, but at McHenry S. C. shoots squads have the option of firing either one or two shots. In addition, shooters will have their choice of all of these contests on the club's four regular traps. Plus fun-type Annie Oakley and Protection Shoots, all for Jopat tender-aged steaks and chickens. Then, a special fifty target Jackrabbit Shoot on Sunday February 2 starting at 12 noon. Purses will be paid to the first three or four places, depending upon the number of entries, and winner of high run from scratch, from handicap. In this type of contest, twenty-five targets are shot from sixteen yards, and twenty-five from handicap position. This is determined by the score made from the closer position. For example, if a shooter breaks 22 targets from sixteen yards, he' will then shoot his remaining^ targets from the twentytwo yard line. Minimum handicap is twenty yards. Shells and hot snacks will be on tap in the warm club house on the west side of Pistakee „Bav all day Sunday. Sophs Down Frosh In GAA All- Star Volleyball by Pat Morrison The McHenry East Campus sophomores emerged victoriously over the freshmen in the Volleyball All-Stars Game for„ G.A.A. The Freshmen played a tough game with Terry Christy as their captain. The winning sophomores are Marlene Brockman, Bonnie Buss, Missie Doherty, Shirley Jenkins, Joanne Mclnerny, Sue Peters,, Sue Reihansperger, Gayle Truckenbrod, and Terry Doyle as captain. Only thirty-six girls were eligible out of the twelve teams in the tournament. Eligibility was determined by the players competing in at least eight out of ten games. The sophomores will play the winners from West Campus on Monday afternoon in the East Campus Gym. Friday night the fighting Warriors of McHenry went down to their fifth consecutive conference defeat at the hands of the large Wildcats of Libertyvilie by the margin of 56 to 44. In another display of offensive ineptness, McHenry had another one of those nightmare shooting nights where everything that was fired at the iron would refuse to go in. The only time the orange and black looked like a scoring threat was in the first six minutes when we rocketed to a 12-5 lead, largely on the strength of a full court press and some result-, ing easy scores. However, the large Cats, behind the 20 foot gunnery of Schwerman and the rebounding of 6'8" Schaper, stormed back and took the lead, never to relinquish it. Th2 Libertyville zone defense gave McHenry fits throughout the second and third stanzas as the weak shooting Warriors could manage only 3 points in the second quarter, and 6 in the third. By the time McHenry got rolling in the fourth quarter again, the issue was no longer in doubt and the Cats sat on their comfortable lead as the benchwarmers finished up the contest. Once again Gary P'airchild did yeoman work on the boards against his much larger opponents, and the gnat like swarmings of Don Smith and Tom Hurckes gave the Libertyville back court erstwhiles a tough go of it. The defeat, however, can be spelled out in the same old terms; lack of offensive punch. The Warriors are disciplined, they hustle, and they play fine defense, but this all goes for naught if you don't score, and this is what we don't do; put the ball through the nets. This week we are home on Friday against the surging big Red of Barrington, see ya there.

M;Henry got an early lead with Rogers, Sobacki, and Justen taking the first three matches. The next two went to Libertyville in close decisions. A new varsity wrestler, Terry? Beno, a sophomore at 133 IDS. held his ground against his opponent and ended his match in a tie. A pin by Libertyville at 138 and decisions at 145 and 154 put Libertyville in the lead 19-11. This meant that McHenry had to win the last three to win for the night. Ken Wahl at 165 did his task well by winning his match 11-3. Mike Antonicelli brought the house down by pinning his opponent, bringing the score to a 19-19 tie going into the last match: Now the fate of ' the evening rested with heavyweight, Chris Borchardt. Both heavyweights, aware of their positions moved with extreme caution. At the end of the first two periods, the score was 0-0. Then Borchardt got a point from his opponent who used an illegal hold. Although this was all that was needed, Chris added the final touch by escaping from his opponent and then taking him down for a final match score of 4-0. This spectacular finish stretched the Warriors' season record to 6-4. At the same time, on the J.Y. mat, almost the ident cal situation was at hand with the score' 23-22, McHenry, going into the heavyweight match. Again, our heavyweight must win in order for his team to win. Tom Fry was the man, winning 5-2 -for McHenry. In conference participation, the J.Y. record stands at 3-2, this being one of the best J.Y. wrestling teams in the history of McHenry. Aiding the J. V. tremendously are Don Sunby and Tom Fry, whot remain undefeated at J-.Y. level. In the preliminary match at 6:45 the freshmen got back on the winning track, by beating Libertyville 30-13, bringing their season record to 7-1. The outstanding wrestlers of the evening were Mike and Dave Carlson, John Bassi, Mike Stromley and Jeff Frantz.
