Junior Class Wins First Intra-Mural Swimming Meet by Bert Hagemann Last Friday the junior class won the first intra-mural swim­ ming meet in the West Campus pool. Competition was quite keen, and the juniors edged a game freshman class by the score of 78-64. The Sophomores garnered a third place finish with 62 points, and the seniors were last. The results are as follows: 200 yd. medley relay: Juniors (Bill Weyland, Dave Koerber, Steve Cuda, Mike Lyons). 200 yd. freestyle: Kevin Ri- ordan (jr.) 50 yd. freestyle: Mile Lyons (jr.). 100 yd. Individual Medley: Tom Lightner (fr.) Diving: Bob Hutchinson (fr.) 50 yd. butterfly: Bob Decker (soph). 50 yd. backstroke: Bill Wey­ land (jr). 50 yd. breastroke: Tom Lightner (fr.) 200 yd. freestyle relay: Soph Ivor Janci, Paul Tiggeman, Tom Broma, Bob Decker. Swimming coach Dick Eber- hardy felt that the meet was an overall success, and the in­ creased interest in swimming perhaps points to a bright fu­ ture for the Warrior Aguanauts.

PLAINDEALER PHOTO Swim Season Opens At MCHS Friday With Intra-Squad Meet by Bert Hagemann Friday, Nov. 21, marks the opening of the 1969-70 swim­ ming season at McHenry Com­ munity high school. At 7:30 p.m. on this date the season will be started with an intra-squad swimming meet. Captain of one team will be senior letterman Steve Phillips, and captain of the other team will be senior letterman Jim Lightner. Both of these boys will pick their team from the members of the McHenry Community high school swimming team. This intra-squad meet should prove to be very interesting, and will be the start of what should be a very exciting season. Specta­ tors arf welcome at this meet and all of the home meets (see schedule below) free of charge. Although this is only the sec­ ond year for competitive swim­ ming at McHenry, coach Dick Eberhardy feels that we might just surprise a few teams this year. Stand-outs on this year's team should be: the following returning letterman: Jim Lightner (Sr.), 1969-70 Captain Breaststroke; Steve Phillips (Sr.), Backstroke; Bill Harvey (Fr.), Sprints; Ken Mac- Donald (Jr.), Individual Med­ ley; Rich Berndt (Sr.), Diving; Mike Stark (Soph.), Distance; Neil Roberts (Soph.), Diving; Paul Bender (Sr.) Manager. (Because of a back injury, Paul, will not be able to swim this year. He was the most im­ proved swimmer last year, and his swimming will be missed.)

SPORTS MCHS Record CROSS COUNTRY 1969-70 VARSITY Cross Country For 1969-70 First Held Hill And Dale Meet For Grade School Boys by Beft Hagemann About 60 grade school boys participated this past week in the first annual Hill and Dale cross country meet,held at the West Campus cross country course. Although the weather was bit­ ter cold and snow flurries flut­ tered down sporadically the young runners showed up in goodly numbers to participate in what coach Don Seaton feels will be an annual event. The meet was split up into divisions by age and the results are as follows: EIGHTH GRADE DIVISION 1 and three quarters miles 1st, Kevin Weiss; 2nd, Jerry Fileo; 3rd, John Sek; 4th Paul Hutchinson. SEVENTH GRADE DIVISION % miles 1st, Ron Re^>el; 2nd, Sorter; 3rd, Rich Davis. Greg SIXTH GRADE DIVISION 1 mile 1st place - tie, Mark Buch- olz and Jeff Boyer; 3rd, Randy Blankenhorn; 4th, John Orton; 5th, Anthony Christy; 6th tie - Rich Raj and Terry Neff; 8th Mike Dean; 9th, Jerry Pepping; 10th, Brad Potts. Over fifty boys par in this sixth grade division, and according to cross country mentor Don Seaton, all finished the race, but some left before their names could be ticked off the list. The meet was certain­ ly a success, and Seaton and his student assistants were very pleased by the turnout.

Frosh-Soph Mike DeLabruere (C.L.) 15;41, When our grandson, Brendan, awakened Wednesday morning, he looked out the window into the sunshine and reacted to it this way, "It's a pretty morn- .;ing, grandma". And a pretty day it was. Along about p:30 in the af- iternoon, we received a phone call from "Daday" (who wasn't at all excited) to grandma (who wasn't excited either). A baby sister arrived for Brendan. J Yes. We were all on cloud 9. »The astronauts hit the moon | and we weren't far behind. I. We were more than a little bit happy to get a call from . our old friend, Great Grandma - Newman. She was elated, too, i about the new arrival. ! i Now all the grandparents can prepare to spoil a dear little < girl. There seems to be a feel- J ing in the ranks that McHenry ; High will have a good basketball J team this year. As we saw the • last war the boys had "EARL WALSH SO I HEAR -SPORTS EDITOR J Thomas J. Kilroy class, not enough experience, no tall man, and not enough out­ side shooting to worry the zone defense that was set up against us. Now the boys have gained ex­ perience and have more size. They showed a lot of improve­ ment at the end of last year. Coach Ken Ludwig will take his team to Grant Friday night, then come home to meet Antioch on our home floor Saturday night. These are the usual non- conference games that give coaches a chance to see their boys in action. ? Received word that one of our old schoolmates, Joe Buch, died this week. Hadn't seen him much since he moved to the great state of Texas, but heard from him from time to time. Joe devoted a lot of time to Boy Scouts and other young people in his home area. He had a good sense of humor and enjoyed sending us stories about Texas. The ranks are thinning. The last ski which I wish to describe is the fiberglass ski.' These skis, with one or two ex­ ceptions, are not constructed purely of fiberglass. The ma­ jority of "fiberglass" skis have a laminated wood core with an epoxy skin and steel edges. If we contrast this ski to the met­ al ski which we talked about last week, we should see some sim­ ilarity. That is, there is no basic difference in the con­ struction of the average metal ski and the average fiberglass ski except that the metal ski has a laminated wood core with a metal top surface and the fiberglass ski has a laminated wood core with a plastic cov­ ering. This may lead us to the as­ sumption that there is no basic difference in the skiing char­ acteristics of each ski. However, once you ski on a fiberglass ski and compare it to a metal ski, you will no­ tice that there is a very pro­ nounced difference in their re­ sponse. Let us ask ourselves, therefore, what does the fiber­ glass do to the ski? Fiberglass is utilized in ski construction to give the ski durability. It is intended to take the strain off the lamin­ ated wood core by using a fiber­ glass layer, or layers which are bonded to the wood. The flexible nature of the plastic allows the normal resiliency of the wood to influence the skiing characteristics while the fiberglass strands absorb the brunt of the punishment which comes in the form of num­ erous sudden sharp impacts that the ski receives during high speed skiing. By controlling the amount of glass fibers and the direction in which they are aligned, the manufacturer can tune his ski so that it will be stiffer or softer or greater or less tor­ sional rigidity. Torsional rigidity is a new term which pertains to the abil­ ity of the ski to resist twist­ ing. The greater the torsional frigidity of the ski the better Its response will be when the skier encounters icy terrain. Greater torsional rigidity; how­ ever, while making the ski hand­ le well on hard pack, makes the ski unsuitable for beginners be­ cause it requires exacting tech­ nique to obtain its maximum benefits. All Hunters Subject To Fee On State Property Everyone who hunts on state- managed goose, pheasant or duck hunting areas where a permit is required must pay the fee. Dan Malkovich, assistant di­ rector of the Illinois Depart­ ment of Conservation, said that last year 2,345 persons were given opportunity to hunt on these state-managed areas but were not charged. "This does not include the 776 free permits issued to land­ owners on the three pheasant areas where the department In summary, let us briefly contrast the three classes of skis. Wooden skis - generally in­ expensive, require extensive upkeep, useful life expectanc, 3-5 years, no resale value suitable for all abilities. Metal skis - moderate to high price, minimal upkeep, indefinite life with factory maintenance, high resale value, suitable for all abilities. Fiberglass skis - high price, moderate upkeep required, four or five years life expectancy, high resale value, suitable for intermediates and experts. 5 leases the hunting rights," Mal­ kovich said.' According to de­ partment records from last year, 860 hunters did not pay to hunt on the southern Illinois goose areas. In addition, 138^ free hunters, not including land­ owners, were on our seven pheasant areas. We had 103 free hunters on the Sanganois- Knapp Island duck area, the only aucK ground where permits were required last year," Mal­ kovich said. "It had been department pol­ icy in the $ast to allow con­ servation employes, members of the General Assembly and newspapers, radio and tele­ vision station employes to hunt free of charge on the permit ar­ eas," Malkovich said. "Every year the lines grew longer, more and more hunt­ ers assumed that privilege," he added. "It's hard to know when to say 'no' in such a case. Therefore, according to our new policy, everyone who hunts, pays. "In line with the policy, no one gets any preferential treat- PG. 6- PLAINDEALER - FRI., NOV. 21, 1969 ment, either," he said. "All hunters , conservation em­ ployes, press people -- ev­ eryone -- will receive equal treatment and will draw for the available pits and blinds or areas on equal basis'^.
