il * * ' • • * Warriors Remain In First Place As They Wallop Dundee 81-58 McHenry - Shooting 30-73 Afiualo 11 HnnAnan^fl . 91- by Bert Hagemann The high flying McHenry Warriors kept their grip on first place in the North Subur­ ban this past week with an 81-58 victory over the game, but outmanned Cardunals of Dundee. The first half was a see-saw affair, with the War­ riors managing to hang on to a tenuous lead going into the in­ termission. Both teams were pressing the first half, and try­ ing to fast break, and the result was some sloppy floor play by both squads. In the third quar­ ter, the Warrjor bench strength began to make itself felt, and the orange and black gradually pull­ ed away as the Dundee squad just plain ran out of gas. Bob Blanken, who swished twenty-one points in the first half to keep his ball club in the ball game, was held to two points in the second half of a real whistle tooting affair. All in all, the officials called over 50 personal fouls in the contest, with high point men Mike Wein- gart and Jim Heard both re­ tiring to the pine midway through the fourth quarter be­ cause of five infractions. The loss of these two key players was not even felt however, as the orange and black continued to score and rebound effective­ ly as the bench was cleared midway through the fourth stan­ za. Although looking ragged at times, McHenry was still good enough to win because of one very vital factor, the bench. Coach Ken Ludwig can go down the row with replacement af­ ter replacement, and fill the gaps on the floor with very tal­ ented people, and this is the stuff of which winners are made. The starting five varies from game to game, but when a^ is said and done, the brunt of the playing is being done by eight seniors, all of whom have their special talent, whether it be of­ fense or defense. This week is a double header weekend, with the Warriors popping over to Want to watch a winner? Why not the Warriors?

PLAINDEALER PHOTO M -- by Bert Hagemann The talent laden Blue Streak swimmers sunk the Warrior varsity this past week in an awesome display of power, 84- 11. Although many of the Mc­ Henry swimmers had their best times of the year, they were no match for the Woodstock team in their home pool. The varsity 400 yard freestyle relay team of Fagan, MacDonald, Phillips, and Harvey set a new school record of 4:20.6, but even that was not good enough for a vic­ tory. The only points that Mc­ Henry could gamer above a third place finish in any event was in diving where Roberts grabbed off a second place be­ hind Farr of Woodstock. The junior varsity fared much better than their varsity com­ patriots, losing a very close meet, 50-45. The winning squad was not determined until the next to last event as the or­ ange and black went down fight­ ing. New McHenry records were also set here, by the 400 yard medley relay team, the 100 ind. medley by Carroll, the 50 yard butterfly by Walker, the 50 yard backstroke by Eschner, and the 200 yard freestyle relay team of Lightner, Cuda, Janci, and Connell. So, after their in­ itial win in swimming com­ petition, the Warriors were forced to suffer the bitter pill of defeat once again. Next home meet is this Friday, the 19th of December when Woodstock will come to our pool for a return match. EARL WALSH I HEAR SPORTS EDITOR J Freshmen Cagers Streak To Four With 99 Points j'lt is Tuesday morning and all ip well--except for the fact that wjt forgot to write a column, fflame it on the Christmas rush. jjjust returned from a 7 o'clock (mat's what we said--7o'clock) breakfast with the high school coaches. Had a real he-man's biseakfast and enjoyed rubbing elbows with the athletic depart- njpnt. I ,JWe looked over that group a(id reaffirmed what we have sMid before. McHenry has a hfrh class group of coaches-- rteal fellows. This column has to be a shorty. Work is waiting, Christ­ mas cards to get out, time to start our shopping. It's later than we thought. by Bert Hagemann Coach Gary Collins' fresh­ man "A" squad ran its record to 4-0 recently with a lopsided 99-29 win over a hapless Lake Zurich squad. In keeping with this year's resurgence in bas­ ketball, the freshman recently knocked off North Chicago in a close, hard fought contest, 35-28. None of the Warriors were in double figures for that ball game, but it was a fine team effort. In dumping the Lake Zurich squad, Mark Bentz led the scoring with 19 tallies, followed by Rog Ludwig with 18, Chuck Doran with 15, Randy Mauch with 13, and Tim Ton- yan with 11. It is evident that in this the year of the winning basketball squads, that the freshmen are getting into the act also.

More size and m$re experience is a big fac- tit*. by Bert Hagemann The red hot MCHS sophomore basketball squad continued its winning streak this past Friday night with a 63-47 victory over the Dundee Cardunals. Although the orange and black were far from a peak performance, their sometimes erratic and sloppy floor play was still enough to bring home a victory. The ball game was quite close for the first half, but when the Warriors brought out their press in the third quarter, they broke the ball game wide open and coast­ ed through the fourth stanza to their seventh straight victory. All five starters were in double figures, and the officials called a tight ball game which saw most of the starting five on both teams carrying four fouls. Once again the Warriors shot a blis­ tering 45% from the field, while free throw production was down under 60%. This week is a double header as we travel to Woodstock Friday night, and entertain Mundelein Saturday in a non-conference tilt.

SNGfigGO TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR SNOWMOBILE Today's snowmobiles are en­ gineering triumphs, reflecting the best Twentieth Century tech­ nology has to offer in reliability and performance designs. Still, most are powered by two-cycle, internal combustion engines, and so are subject to an occasional mechanical grem­ lin or two. It's the wise snow- mohiler indeed who knows a lit­ tle on-the-trail troubleshooting whfn those gremlins decide to act up. Here, then, are a few trouble­ shooting tips. --If the engine won't start, makf sure you havp f-nough fuel in the tank, and that the igni­ tion switch and starter are on and working If it still won't kick over, the problem may well lie in the fuel system Check the carburetor and warm up (choke) controls to make sure they're in the proper starting position Make certain the fuel lines and fuel pump filter are clean, and not blocked by those small almost invisible bits of dirt that can starve a motor. --Engine flooded? Just check the carburetor and choke ad­ justments. then wait a minute or two for the fuel to settle. --If the rewind starter fails to engage, chances are a worn or broken part is the culprit. This usually will require dealer service, but don't worry: most snowmobiles have excellent al­ ternate starting procedures should the regular starter sys­ tem prove balky. --If the engine runs rough,, look first to the carburetor. If this is correctly adjusted, turn ! next to the spark plugs. They should be clean, unfouled, prop­ erly gapped and, in general, in good condition. If not, replace them with that extra set of plugs every experienced snowmobiler carries in his machine. --Often, a snowmobile won't move forward when the throttle is depressed simply because the driver has forgotten to shift the transmission from neutral. But it could also be stalled by a severely worn or broken drive belt, or a drive chain that is out of adjustment. Know how to fix these. Books have been written on how to keep snowmobiles in top condition. SNO AND GO has been able to discuss only the highlights of the most common mechanical problems the snow­ mobile driver must face.

Bob Blanken No. 53, the 6*2)?' senior of Dundee, scored 21 points in the first half of Friday night's game. This fourth period action shows Warriors, No. 10 Tom Hurckes and No. 22 Mike Weingart, pressuring Blanken as he was held to only 2 points in the second half.

AIRMAN - AIRCRAFT Time has arrived for regis­ tration of federal airmen and for issuing of air craft air­ worthiness certificates by the Illinois Department of Aeronau­ tics, J.E. Wenzel, department director has announced. Airmen and aircraft owners who complied with the registration law in 1969 will receive 1970 registration applications on or by Dec. 1 of this year, Wen­ zel said. Partially completed, the applications need only to be checked for accuracy, signed and returned with the required fee. Wenzel explained that an­ nual aircraft registration is aimed at removing unsafe air­ craft from airways. Registra­ tion provides names for the de­ partment's mailing lists to re­ ceive revised aeronautical charts, airport directories and aviation publications such as "Illinois Aviation," the depart­ ment's quarterly. Current pilot lists are also sent to all coun­ ty civil defense coordinators to use in times of disaster. Pi­ lots and aircraft owners reg­ istered in 1969 but who have changed address should fill out a new application, Wenzel said. Any pilots not registered in 1969 may secure an application at a local airport or by writing the Illinois Department of Aer­ onautics, Capital Airport, Springfield, 111. 62705. One of the most accurate cal­ endars ever developed was pro­ duced and used by the Maya Indians, of Yucatan, centuries before Columbus.
