& AAc Henry County College Cagers Ready For Opener The McHenry County college basketball squad has been work­ ing out for the past three weeks under the watchful eye of head Coach Robert Matte. The Fight­ ing Scots open their second campaign on Monday, Nov. 17 when they play host to Triton college at the Cary Grove high school gymnasium. The first week of action promises to be a busy one as the Scots travel to Freeport to take on Highland college on Friday, Nov. 21 and then come right back to Cary again on Saturday, Nov. 22 to entertain Lake county. Five returning lettermen form the nucleus of the Scots attack. They are Henry Lam- kin 6'5" forward from Crys­ tal Lake, Ed Jasperson 6'9'^_ center from Lake Zurich, Ron Taylor 6'1 guard from Fox Lake, Marc Woodbury 6*3" for­ ward from Hebron and Rich Leigh 6'1' forward fromCrys- tal Lake. ; FINE PROSPECTS Newcomers to the squad in­ clude these four fine looking prospects from Harvard: John Mulvenna 6'3" and Ken Ped- erson 6' 2" forwards and Lar­ ry Nolen and Gary Rutchick both 6'1" at guards. Other hoper fuls include Jim Gray and Ger­ ry Burke both 6' guard can­ didates from Richmond and Marengo respectively and Ter- ryGuffa6'4* center from Crys­ tal Lake. Although prospects for a mu?h stronger team than last season appear good, the caliber of the competition is likely to be much stronger also. The Northern Illlinois Junior col­ lege league plays a very good brand of basketball. Game time for all home games is 7:30 p.m. Try to get out to see a few games this season. Dear Mr. Walsh, Here is the next verse of that song: I remember you, Yes indeed I do. Say I am awful gald I met you Bet your life I won't forget you. I remember you. Here are a couple questions you may be able to answer. Who was the first pro foot­ ball player to wear low cut shoes? Why do some ball players have their first finger outside their gloved hand? Do you remember when the Bears played ball along the first base line instead of the third base in Wrigley field? Just moved out here l^years ago and read your column every week. Yours truly, Senior Citizen Ben Sauter. "EARL WALSH SO I HEAR -SPORTS EDITOR J our wife to plant.

Dear Senior Citizen: Thanks for writing and thanks for reading this mixture we stir up each week. Glad you re­ member that song. It proves we didn't just dream up those lines as one fellow suggested. As to your questions: 1. We dunno. Was it Walter Echersall? 2. Never saw a ball player leave a finger outside the glove --after the ball was hit to him. Some first basemen leave their fingers out until the ball is pitched. 3. When the Bears found out they couldn't get to first base, they tried third. We suspect you have some tricky answers to those ques­ tions. Send them in. Yours, "S.I.H." The Chicago Bears did rise again. That one victory shoula give them new life. Even the Packer fans shouldn't begrudge them a victory now and then. From there we moved to Miss Clara Stoffel's room.Now we were getting someplace. Only trouble was she used to write little notes on our report card. One month she wrote, "Capable of doing better work". We still have that report card. Well, our mother had been a school teacher and it wasn't easy to bring a card like that one home to her. iors move in furniture for their class play. Mrs. Wray return­ ed to the room before we could get back to our seats. She sent us home. Sounded like a vaca­ tion, but it didn't turn out so good. We were sent back in the afternoon with instructions to apologize for our actions. So this is our old school! Landmark held open house Sunday and area residents swarmed in to see the results of a complete remodelling pro­ ject. Down to the finest details, somebody thought of everything. Across the hall we moved to the Northeast corner of the building where Miss Fanny Granger (Now Mrs. Robert Thompson) was our teacher. Seems to us that room was too crowded for the fifth and sixth grades so some moved upstairs. We lined up outside the east door at the end of the line and marched upstairs as the graph- aphone blasted out a marching song. Mrs. Wray was right at her door to meet us. Yours truly went into a recitation of his pre­ pared apology. At the conclus­ ion, Winkel piped up with, "Me too". That did it. It was too funny. We were permitted to re­ turn to class. We spent twelve years in that school. Yep. We make it in tweive--eight in grade school and four in high school. There wasn't any other pub­ lic school in those days. Miss Frances Welch (Mrs. A.I. Froehlich) was our sixth grade teacher. She put up with a lot. About that age most of us were getting too smart for our own good. Miss Agnes Car­ ey (Later Mrs. Thomas Do- herty) came into the picture at that stage. Mary Etten brought us a cro­ cus in bloom and a bulb for We saw the old first grade room, where our first teacher SPORTS How well we remember our eighth grade under the very able, but doggone stern guid­ ance of Mrs. Florence Howe Wray. It was in that room where "Red" Winkel and yours truly were caught looking out a win­ dow to see the high school sen- . Thomas J. lulroy Last week, we discussed wooden skis. This week, we shall focus our attention on metal skis. The metal ski is the first child in the family jot modern skis. It was develop­ ed in 1943 by Howard Head, an aircraft engineer. Since that time, it has been redesigned and perfected many times until it has reached what it is today. There are many different met­ al skis made by many different In Landmark today, they have conditioned air. Our teachers used to give us air twice a day by taking a long stick and pull­ ing down the window from the top. Holy Mackerel! In the win­ ter time those cold blasts would swoop down on you like an arc­ tic blast. We didn't miss visiting a room Sunday. Each one brought back memories--mostly fond memories. How could we for­ get Miss Pryor. She knew all our problems in school and out. Miss Gertrude Kiseh was a great teacher and good friend. Miss Dora Kinney taught Lat­ in and our mother made us take the course in spite of protest. (When you protested in those days it didn't do you a heluva lot of good.) Anyhow, Miss Kinney gave us a passing mark at the end of the year and advised us not to take Latin II. Superintendent Duker and Coach Stringer came to our school in our senior year. That was great. We liked 'em. The gym we had lost for need of a convocation room was restored when portable rooms (the kids called them sheep sheds) were placed on the east side of the building. When we lost the gym, we played basket­ ball games on the tennis court north of the building. That crushed stone was rough, but knee pads helped. Some days it was cold outside. We loved our trip through the school last Sunday. So much has been done in our educational system. We are proud of our schools. BOWLING NEWS Although the Fearless Five, (The Old Bridge Quintet), hit the hardboards for three games at the local bowl last Thursday evening, little was left to say for the sub-standard perform­ ance turned in by the Quintets leader, Carl Thonn. Luckily the other members were able to carry him to win three games for the second time in as many weeks. PG. 6 - PLAINDEALER WED., NOV. 12, 1969 companies; however, with few exceptions, all of these skis are constructed in the same manner. The metal ski, is not as the name implies, made of metal alone. It is basically a lamin­ ated wood core which is clothed in a thin metal skin. The run­ ning surface of the ski, that which is in contact with the snow, is made of a plastic which is similar to teflon. The sides of the ski are also cov­ ered with plastic and the bot­ tom edges (these are thin strips of metal on the bottoms of the skis which aid them in biting into the snow) are made of car­ bide steel. Metal skis are, by far, the most popular ski on the mar­ ket today. They probably ac­ count for about seventy per­ cent of all the skis sold. Let us ask ourselves then, what can be responsible for this tremen­ dous increase in popularity. There are three reasons for the increased demand by the av­ erage skier for metal skis. First of all, it is a very easy ski to turn. This makes it very simple for the beginner to execute the introductory man­ euvers so necessary in learn­ ing to ski. But at the same time it is an easy ski for the beginner to learn on, the met­ al ski still performs excellent­ ly for the intermediate skier. It adapts well to the higher speed turns the intermediate is trying to master while it still retains the mistake forgiving charac­ teristics which made it so pop­ ular with the beginner. Secondly, we must consider the skis durability; or shall we say its ability to withstand the abuse of everyday skiing. To best exemplify this, let us contrast the metal ski to the wooden ski. Wooden skis require consid­ erable care to keep them in good condition. They have to be blocked or bowed and stored in a cool dry area duringthe sum­ mer to keep them from warp­ ing. During the winter, they must be carefully maintained so that no cracks or chips develop in the varnish or protective plastic coat which would allow water to come into contact with the wood. If this happens and moisture seeps into the lamin­ ations and then the ski is brought outside, the water would freeze and the sld would delaminate or split. The metal ski does not re­ quire this special care during the summer. They are also much more resistant to chip­ ping; therefore, the chances of having moisture seep into the wood core is re&iced. Last but not least, in the desirable attributes of the metal ski, is its high resale value. Since this ski is so durable, and its metal skin can be high­ ly polished at the factory or a factory sponsored ski shop for a very nominal cost, it is very easily resold when it is out­ grown or the skier feels his ability requires a more re­ sponsive ski. Next week, we shall discuss the plastic ski.

To illustrate his point, he re­ lated the following story: In early October Ray Latch of Stewardson, the conserva­ tion officer assigned to Shelby County, was told that three men loaded what may have been a deer carcass into the trunk of a car near the Shelby State Forest. The caller described the vehicle, but he did not ob­ tain a license number. Latch investigated and saw where something had been drag­ ged out of the woods. He ask­ ed local landowners if they were acquainted with any of the hunt­ ers in the vicinity the previous Sunday. Latch recognized a few of the names and he surmised that someone would return the next weekend and try to bag another deer illegally. The next Saturday the officer was in the woods by 3 a.m. He heard hunters enter the timber at 6 a.m. Thirty minutes later he heard a shot and saw a buck bound out of the woods. Latch then approached the three men and asked them what they were hunting. They said they were out af­ ter squirrels and the officer pointed out that they were shoot­ ing before legal hunting hours. The men admitted being in the woods the previous Sunday and when asked, opened the car trunk. Latch did not find a deer but he did obtain samples of blood and hair. The crime laboratory of the Deaprtment of Public Safety in Springfield identified the evi­ dence as the blood and hair of a white-tail. Latch cited the men and when they appeared in court and saw the evidence against them, they pleaded guilty. Each of the men paid fines and costs totaling $140. Von.Vov.17 Wrestling Var.-Soph.-Fresh.
