"Mac" To Act As Honorary Chairman Of Wrestling Tourney President Robert Sturgeon announced today that retiring Mc Henry high school athletic director, Leonard McCracken will serve as honorary chair­ man of the "Kid Wrestling Clin­ ic and Tournament" on March 12.

All interested boys can pick up a entry blank from your school principal or by calling Jaycee, Dennis Wel­ ter, 385-0571. Dick -Rabbit* did a neat job at the mike during the program and left the crowd smiling with a punch line. West Campus Principal Swantz came through real good as he added kind words about "Mac", who is retiring this year. Call it respect, admira­ tion, or what you will--that crowd came out of their seats with hands clapping. It was gen­ uine, electrifying and maybe tear-jerking to some of us who have known "Mac" since he first set foot on McHenry soil. And there was a basketball game--two of them, in fact. The sophomores beat Crystal, Lake going away. If some of those boys grow enough for next year and the year after, look^ out! Besides, our freshmen had a good record. The varsity game showed up weaknesses in the early stages, then came strength. Ron Miller came in to spark the scoring. Next it was Mark Hoffman's turn. The whole team had to work like all get out, but finally pulled away for a decisive vic­ tory. It is now regional tournament time, but this issue will be all wrapped up and put to bed be­ fore the game between McHen­ ry and Marian Central is play­ ed. Interest is running high in this one. We plan to see it. "Boots" Davis presented us with a St. Patrick's Day neck­ tie with cute note attached. She may be sure we'll be wearin' the green on that great day. Final Standings And Reports On Marian Tournament Games by John Metzger SUBURBAN CATHOLIC CONFERENCE The following standings in the West Division of the Subur­ ban Catholic Conference are finals: W L Marmion 10 3 Marian 10 3 St. Edward 8 5 Montini 7 6 Immaculate Conception 6 7 St. Francis 1 12 Be net 1 12 Although the McHenry squad has only won 3 games this sea­ son they must be applauded for their never-say-die attitude. Down bv 11 points at the half, 45 to 34, the Scots fought back to tie the score at 61 all. The blue and white could never score that important basket to go ahead and trailed by the nar­ row margin of 1 to 4 points the rest of the contest. Although they outscored their opponents 12 points from the field the Scots could only hit on 8 out of 14 free throws while their oppon­ ents sank 23 out of 43 from the charity stripe. .Jim Mulvenna and Mike Weingart led McHenry with 22 and 20 points respec­ tively. This Thursday night, Feb. 25, the Scots travel to Free- port to take on Elgin Commun­ ity college intheNICAA Tourn­ ament. Having been beaten by Elgin twice this season, the Scots hope that the third meet­ ing will break the spell. In Conference action, Marian led the league with 216 free- throws. The final Conference statistics for Marian are as follows: Field Goals, 288, Free- throws, 216, Points, 792, Opp. 739. Cary-Grove District: Marian vs. Harvard The Hurricanes nudged past Harvard, last Wednesday night, by a score of 72-70. Marian needed to win this game to re­ main in the tournament. A hard­ hitting first quarter, which ended with Marian ahead 20-9, enabled the Canes to hang on to this game. Marian was hitting only 30% from the freethrow line compared to Harvard's 64%. This, plus the fact that Har­ vard outscored Marian in the second and third quarter, were still not enough to beat Coach Grover and his squad. A1 Wein- gart, Randy Jackson, John Bol­ ton, and Gary Harrison were all in the double figures for Marian. A more decisive victory was won by Marian in the Champion­ ship game on Friday night. DIST RICT CHAMPIONSHIP Cary-Grove, who won by 1 point the night before, played against Marian to decide who would be the district champion. When the final buzzer sounded, Marian was on top by a score of 62-56, to give them the Dis­ trict Championship Title for the second year in a row. In a game that was a lot closer than what is shown by the final quarter scores, the lead jockeyed back and forth a couple of times. Cary-Grove led by five at one time, but the Hurricanes came back to take over. Cary-Grove did not give up and in the fourth quarter they scored 8 points in a row to bring them within three, but that's as close as they got to the impres­ sive Marian team for the re­ mainder of the game. The scoring for Marian was done mostly by Jackson, Bolton, and Harrison, all of whom had 15 points. Frisch, from Cary- Grove was high scorer of the game with 21 points.

Offer Expires April 1st 385-8350 McHenry ended their regular season play on a triumphant note behind a strong second half effort to defeat the Crys­ tal Lake Tigers 62-48. It was an encouraging sign to see the Warriors score well the second half, especially the fourth quar­ ter when they pumped in 18 points, as it had been a poor fourth quarter effort offensive­ ly that at times snatched vic­ tory from the grasp of the Or­ ange and Black. Crystal Lake jumped out to a quick 9-2 lead in the early stages of the game before the Warriors came to life to take a 15-14 lead at the end of the first quarter. Bruce Harbecke scored nine of his 12 points during the first period to lead the Warrior attack. The second stanza saw substitute guard Frank Desmond come off the bench for Crystal Lake to score ten points, including a string of four straight field goals, to help the visitors to a 34-29 lead at the intermission. The second half was all Mc­ Henry as the defense held Crys­ tal Lake to a mere four field goals and a total of only 14 points. The aggressiveness of the Warriors forced their op­ ponents into 13 turnovers the second half and rarely did the Tigers get a second shot at the basket as Len Gehrke and Don Prazak controlled the de­ fensive board. Mark Hoffman led the fourth quarter onslaught as he came in to score nine points during the final period. Shields and Benson, the two big scorers for Crystal Lake, were limited to only six points each; mainly through the defensive ef­ forts of Gary Hosier, Jerry Miller and Ron Miller. The balanced McHenry attack was led by Ron Miller with 13, while Jerry Miller and Bruce Harbecke added 12 points. Hoff­ man had nine, Gehrke eight, and Hosier seven. The Warriors shot 40 per cent from the field on 23 of 58 while sinking 50 per cent of their free throws on 16 of 32. The victory gave the War­ riors an 8-6 conference rec­ ord and an 14-9 overall mark pretty well balanced with Mar­ ian's 14 for 22 giving them a 63% and Cary-Grove's 10 for 13 a 77%. The Marian stands emptied out onto the floor at the end of the game and finally receded when the trophy pre­ sentation began. A victory cel­ ebration was held at Marian afterward. Marian's action in the region­ al tournament at Elgin begins on Tuesday, March 2 at 8:30 p.m., against the McHenry War­ riors. This long-awaited match should have some interesting results. The winner of this game will play the winner of the El­ gin-Crown game on March 4 at 7:30 p.m. Weingart Bolton Jackson Lafontaine Kiefer Harrison MARIAN FG 2 6 7 2 2 5 FT 3 3 2 2 0 5 PF 1 2 3 1 1 4 CARY-GROVE Burrell 7 0 5 14 Flugge S 1 0 0 2 Frisch 8 5 3 21 Kay 3 2 5 8 Krenz 2 0 1 4 Flugge B 0 1 1 1 McKenna 1 2 1 4 Gillenwater 1 0 0 2 23 10 16 56 1st 2nd 3rd tot.

Ac­ cording to a recent report given at the Eighth International Congress on Gerontology longevity also seems to favor the wealthier, smarter, and even the sexier. A 12 year study was conducted on 47 men with a mean age of 72. At the end of this time, 23 were still alive. The original tests showed that the survivors were of higher intelligence than those who hadi died. They also had better scores on psychological tests evaluating moral and mental health. In addition, the survivors were better off financially and had greater personal happiness and satisfaction in their work. Over the years, they had made fewer changes in their way of life, and their range of friends.
