F E B . 2 8 , 1 9 6 9 r Earl Walsh SO I HEAR Sports Editor SPORTSfCOKWfRS J Bijl Hutchinson, MCHS wrestling coach, sends a nice letter of appreciation for the sports page spreads given to wregtling matches the past season. Here is a part c? the letter: "In the past years McHenry boy& have produced nine straight winning dual match seasons, won the conference oncer, and the State District twice. In the future we hope we can win a State Sectional and then a State Championship, but Jhe real challenge for us, is to get you to n restling tnatich." • • OK, "Hutch", you have broken us down. God willing, we "will be with you for at leasj one match next season. It was nice of you to write. Ralph Ott, of the Snug Harbor fcrew, hada nerve wracking experience this week. Somebody looked across the river and ^saw a dog stranded on the ice,;unable to climb over the sea wall. A-call to the sheriffs office brought sympathy and a promise that as soon as a squad car ;was in the area the situation would have preferred attention. But, the gals at Snug Harbor were having conniptions and nothing would do but for Ralph to go to the rescue. With signals arranged -- one if tiy land and two if by sea andM on the opposite shore Will; be -- our hero took off. AH eyes were on Ralph as he reached the scene of disaster. Nice doggie. With a fierce growl, the dog suddenly bounded over the sea wall and took after the one who offered a helping hatkr. Our animal lovin' hero was last seen doing a cross country splint going that-a-way. am£i£Aa/i Registration for McHenry Lflftle League will be held on Saturday March 8th, 1969, beginning at 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the City hall.

This win enabled St. Patrick to capture third place in the Northeast Section of the Rockford Diocesan Tournament, held in Elgin. First place went to St. Laurence of Elgin who triumphed over St. Mary of Woodstock. The Elgin aggregation will now represent this section in the 23rd annual Observer Tournament of Champions beginning next Sunday, March 2 in Sterling. .St. Patrick reached the semifinals by defeating St. Catherine of Dundee and St. Charles of Hampshire on successive Sundays. The "Irish" were beaten in the semi-finals by St. Mary of Woodstock 46 to 37. This was a rough, rock 'em - sock 'em, fiercely fought contest. The victors, with a 33 won 3 lost record, going into the game, played well. Much credit to this outstanding team must go to their two tall and rugged pivot men, Mullins and Rasmussen, assisted by a sharpshooting guard, Stogsdill. Individual scoring honors in this game went to St. Pat's tall, aggressive and hard driving center, Larry Huck. His 27 points, 12 from the field and 15 from the charity line is indicative of his play throughout the season. Huck maintained his 20 point per game seasonal average in the tournament, scoring 83 tallies, while engaging in the four tourney contests. This lad has been an inspiration to his team-mates, coach and fans with his great desire and hustle. He closes his grammar school athletic career as No. 2 in all time top scorers for the "Irish" of St. Patrick. Tommy "The Twig" Miller contributed with his deadly shooting from 20 feet, constantly harassing the zone defense of the opponents. Assisting on the boards with good rebounding and shooting against taller adversaries, were Tim Gertz, Gary Truckenbrod and Bob Jenkins. Late in the game, Steve Maxson popped in a field goal with a fine shot from the corner. Steve, tabbed for a starting position inpreseason drills, missed the entire "season due to illness. Rounding out the team and providing the necessary bench strength, were: Larry Oakford, Jack Dalton, Jim Stilling, Paul Bruhn, Kevin Hahndorf and Mike Coughlin. The "Irish" completed their season with a 14 won - 10 lost overall record. They compete in the Northwest Catholic Athletic Conference. This conference consists of teams from the Northwestern suburbs of the Chcago Archdiocese. The league is composed of schools with huge enrollments and fine athletic plants, and as a result can field teams of exceptional skill and ability. St. Patrick, the smallest school in the conference, shared first place in their section with St. Hubert of Hoffman Estates. Coaching the "Irish Brigade", in his ninth consecutive year, was Bob "Hezzie" Miller. His leadership in the development of character, personality and habits, plus the efficient teaching of fundamentals and team play is in keeping with the highest tradition of coaching. Congratulations are certainly in order for another winning season for Coach Miller and his "Fighting Irish". In compiling information on the team, your reporter has learned that Larry Huck, Jr. coached the JV team throughout the year and gave valuable assistance to Coach Miller and the varsity team.

Although losing both games the Scots showed signs of good basketball. Trailing by 15 points at the half in the Elgin game the McHenry boys narrowed the margin to 8 in the final frame only to fall back and lose by 14. In the Crane contest the local county five led the entire first half at one time by 13 points. They seemed to run out of gas in the second half however. Although it was close all the way the Scots were behind in the last few minutes and couldn't get the ball from the clever Crane guards.. I One e"xtra game was added to the schedule this week. The Scots played at Kendall college in Evanston on Monday, Feb 24. A report of this game as well as a wrap up on statistics for the season will appear next week.
