Does it hurt Diplomats Dump Faculty Five In Fun Basketball by Bert Hagemann The McHenry faculty was a game foe this past Thursday night, but it was all in vain as they were defeated by the clowning, talented, Harlem Diplomats, led by Goose TatumJr. The faculty all stars, composed of Gary Grey, Gary Collins, Bill Day, Dave Luckett, Tom Hoover, Paul Palmateer, Bill Blankenhorn, Ken Ludwig, Toby Scott, and Walter Scott were no match for the taller, high leaping opponents from Canada. Coach Dick Rabbitt couldn't match the antics of the Diplomats, and referees Chuck Cuda and yours truly were the brunt of numerous pranks and jokes. However, judging from the reaction of the large crowd, the various trick plays and ability of the Diplomats were enjoyable to all who came to see the game. Thanks must go to the varsity " club for putting on the show, it was a night that all involved will remember for a while. PG. 4 - PLAI NDEALER - FRI. MARCH 28, 1969 Ripon College, up Wisconsin way, sends its Spring/69 sports information brochure. On the Track Roster we find the name of Steve Loeffelholz of McHenry. Steve is a sophomore this year. After a great season in '68, graduation took several stars. This year sophomores dominate the picture.

Badges and certificates were presented at the YMCA Finance Report meeting, held at the Crystal Lake Program Center.

The Lake Region YMCA began its Spring Quarter of swim instruction on March 15 at the Elgin Academy and the Woodstock high school. All levels of swim instruction are taught at both locations during the ten-week course. A feature of the Elgin activity is a bus which picks up the registered youth from Algonquin, Lake in the Hills, Cary, Crystal Lake, Fox River Grove, Huntley, Island Lake, and McHenry. Because of a large response to the Elgin program, only deep water swimmers are encouraged to register after the first class for the program. Registrations for all levels of instruction are still open at the Woodstock high school program. Persons interested in late registrations for swim instruction should contact the YMCA, 65 N. Williams Street, Crystal Lake, telephone 459-4455.

Seems we have a date with Don Hoenes to visit beautiful Wrigley Field on opening day. We don't hanker to see those vines covered with snow. The grapevine tells us Tom Evans went out for an early season golf game and fell through the ice while retrieving a ball. A rescue squad (his pals) brought him safely to short. He now carries ice skates and water wings in his pack. The White Sox front office sends us information from time to time. We wrote to the Cubs last year and asked them to put us on their mailing list. Never heard from them. We'll be nice and patient and maybe they will answer us one of these years. News reports have it that both the Cubs and Sox want to make trades. Seems to us that class has been spread mighty thin with the expansion program. Officer Davis, of the local police, predicts great things for the Sox this year and says Ron Hansen will have a big year. We fear that Ron Hansen will be having his big year with somebody else. And, what's this we hear about the Cubs wanting to get Pete Ward? State-Grown Seedlings For Farmstead Windbreaks SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,-Stategrown seedlings are now available for farmstead windbreaks,, "This is the time to be thinking about planting some trees around the farm home," Director William L. Rutherford of the Illinois Department' of Conservation said today, "and state-grown stock is available for this purpose." Five rows of three-year-old pine seedlings, mainly red and white, planted seven feet apart at seven-foot spacings, or rows, can quickly provide beauty to the farmstead while also providing weather protection and wildlife benefits. Such miniature plantations, usually on the north and west side of residential areas, can be properly thinned at a later date (when the crowns touch) by removing the second and fourth row and every other tree in the residual rows. This gives the conventional 14-foot spacing of basic windbreaks. This stock can be purchased from the Illinois Division of Forestry at a cost of $18 per thousand plants (FOB state tree nursery). Further information, forms and literature may be secured by contacting any state forestry or conservation office or by writing directly to the State Forester, Illinois State Office Building, Springfield, 111. 62706. State-grown stock, consisting of over 25 varieties of trees and shrubs, is still available for the customary uses of forest products; wildlife benefits such as food, nesting cover and travel lanes; soil and water stabilization and general beauty. "However, the supply is dwindling fast," Director Rutherford cautions, "so get your order and monies in soon if you wish to improve your area with these plants." ITEM: Many well-d ressed men like the 100 per cent polyester fiber shirts. So do their wives. The shirts can be washed and placed on a hanger to dry or dried in an automatic dryer. No pressing is needed. C o l l a r s h o l d t h e i r s h a p e like new. * * * INVESTIGATE BURGLARY Sheriffs police are investigating a burglary at the A.S. Blake Building Corp. 2211 W.
