PLAINDEALER PHOTO JjL EARL WALSH 4.1 This column might be headed "Ivooking Over Our Notes And Picking Up The Loose Ends." So I Hear SPORTS EDITOR J McHenry County College A Winner In Baseball We mu6t mark our calendar and be sure to attend the McHenry Choral Club program either Saturday or Sunday night. Have begged "Brenda" to save two tickets for us. The Choral Club will com­ memorate McHenry's 135th birthday with its own thirtieth. It will be the history of McHenry in music. The grapevine tells us that people from as far distant as Min­ nesota will attend. Hope Bill DeVries goes back to Las Vegas often. He fetched along some choice cigars from the Stardust. One of the most pleasant things that has happened to us in a long time occurred at the Longhorn one recent evening when John Stangarone brought his mother to our table for a visit. Mrs Stangarone told us she has been coming to McHenry to their home on Fox River since 1899. She is one grand person and a fine mama. Bob Haagenson. who is very active at McHenry County Collge. has a report on this page of their success in baseball. Says the entire school is proud of their team. Have to give the County College athletic department credit. They took their lumps on basketball, but never failed to report on the games. Clyde Blackwell, the man in motion, gave us a copy of a letter received from Lawrence Welk following petition signed by many of us Senior Citizens in support of continuance of the program. Dear Earl, 1 thought you might enjoy the story about one of "Bill Day's boys". Greetings to all our McHenry friends! Sincerely, Pastor Don Johnson i Former pastor of Shepherd Of the Hills) Residential-Commercial • Blacktopping • Sealing • Repairs Free Estimates 1-338-4739 JACKSON ASPHALT-PAVING derson, a most illustrious son of Augustana College, was drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals of the American Football Conference. Anderson had waited all day with several friends in his Rock Island apartment, hoping for a call from one of professional football's 26 teams. He w-as wild with excitement when Bengals' quarterback coach Bill Walsh telephoned at 4:02. "This has to be the greatest day of my life!" said Anderson when full realization hit him. Just four years ago. Ken Anderson was a senior at Batavia. 111., High School, known for his ability in basketball as much as in football. Then, on June 28, 1967, he wrote a now famous (at Augustana) letter to the then Augustana football coach Ralph Starenko. The rest is history. In four seasons at Augustana, Ken Anderson rose to national prominence in football. He ranks fifth in the NCAA College Division in total career offense, and is tied for eighth in all-time passing He was named an honorable mention Little Ail- American, was voted the most valuable player in the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin, and received a $1,000 NCAA post-graduate scholarship for academic excellence. He played in the nationally televised North- South Shrine Game. Ken is the first player in Augustana history to be drafted by a pro team, and only the third in history of the CCIW. He was the sixth quarterback selected in the 1971 draft behind Stanford's Jim Plunkett, Mississippi's Archie Manning. Santa Clara's Dan Pastorini, Kansas State's Lynn Dickey, and Duke's Leo Hart. He was selected ahead of such well- publicized stars as Notre Dame's Joe Theismann and Ohio State's. Rex Kern. Ken will move to Cincinnati this spring to begin working out with Bengal quarterbacks Greg Cook and Virgil Carter. Both Anderson and the Bengals' staff have expressed con­ fidence that he fits well in the Bengals' plans. The well-liked 6-foot. 2-inch, 200 pound signal- caller already has a host of boosters from Augustana, all confident that he will prove that he belongs with the pros. Whatever happens, Jan. 28, 1971, is a day that Ken An­ derson will never forget. by Bob Haagenson The Fighting Scots of McHenry . County college downed Elgin Community college with a score of seven to four in the first game of the Skyway Conference, Sectional IV Tournament on Monday of this week. Jim Mulvenna pitched all nine for the Scots. He gave up four runs on eleven hits, while striking out eight and only walking one. Turner pitched nine innings for Elgin. He gave up seven runs on nine hits, while walking four and striking out five. The Scots took the lead in the fifth inning when Jim Mulvenna's double bagger brought in one run. Scott Crenshaw and Gerry Burke each hit solid base hits to bring in two more runs. MCHS Golfers Beat Zion And Woodstock Last Thursday the MCHS golf team beat Zion 169 to 187 at the McHenry Country club. The MCHS team was playing without the services of Steve Fain and again showed good balance with Mike Bauer filling in nicely with a 41. Other scores were Nelson Adams with a 42, Jeff Kuhlman and Mike Santi with 43's. The following Monday the Warriors played at Plum Tree National Country club and beat Woodstock 184 to 196. Plum Tree is a new long course and in the future should be of championship caliber. This is the first time the MCHS team played there and weather conditions were not in the golfer's favor, and scores soared. Steve Fain made his comeback after having 27 stitches below his right eye, and both Steve and Mike Santi were medalists with 45's. Mike Bauer and Nelson Adams shot 47's for the 184 total. Tuesday Elgin came to McHenry and the bad weather caused the match to be can­ celled. The match has been rescheduled for May 20 at the McHenry Country club. The MCHS sophomores lost their first match to Zion by a score of 213 to 207. The entire team was completely off its game. At Plum Tree the team showed a little improvement by beating Woodstock 200 to 208. Leading the sophs are Steve Buss, Charlie Jesky, Mike §ch- mitt, Roger Wanta, and Twiggy Miller. The Elgin basemen came back in the eighth inning with two runs. They added to this total in the ninth inning, but it proved futile. The Scots slammed in four more runs. Again, Jim Mulvenna was at the plate. This time he hit a home run with two men on the bags. John Pitzen of McHenry hit in the fourth run of the in­ ning with a hard hit triple. The Scots were successful in stealing five bases during the game. Three of these were chalked up for Gary Schmidt. This win gives the Scots a four and three record for the season. They are three and two in the Skyway Conference. With Elgin's defeat, the Scots will face Rock Valley Junior college on Wednesday, April 28, on their home field at Veteran's Acres in Crystal Lake. The game will start at 3:30 p.m. A win on Wednesday means the Scots will be in main contention for the state championship among junior colleges. The next scheduled games are May 5 at Waubonsee Community college in Sugar (Grove and a home game against Lake County college on May 7. These games will also start at 3:30 p.m. Coast Guard News* BENGALS DRAFT ANDERSON At 4 02 p.m. on Jan. 28, 1971, on the first day and in the third round of the 1971 National Football League's College Draft.

Kaneland is the defending champion, having won the title in both 1969 and 1970. Rifles Recruiting To Fill Key Spots And Plan Open Camp The Lake county rifles football team has opened its 1971 recruiting campaign. The Rifles have several key positions to fill if they expect to return to the title game again in '71. The tragic loss of Fred Custardo as their number one signal caller has left the quarterback slot wide open. Their remaining two quar­ terbacks are question marks. Bruce Swanson has signed with the New England Patriots of the AFL for a pro try out. Lee Rice is uncertain whether he will return for the coming season. The club has contacted several excellent prospects, but to date has no one under con­ tract for the position. Other Rifle stars leaving the fold for big league tryouts are the club's most valuable player, fullback Ron Jurewicz and All-League receiver Bill Potter. Both are expected to report to the Patriot's free agent camp in May. Another of Lake County's All-League stars, Chuck Burgoon has signed with the New Orleans Saints. Burgoon will be reporting to the Saint's camp in July as a linebacker. Rifle General Manager Bob Amann has been in touch with college ball players throughout the country, but the club always conducts an open camp and anyone with professional, college, or service ball ex­ perience is welcome to tryout for the team. The Rifles will open their annual training camp at Carmel Stadium in Mundelein, 111., on Monday evening June 28. All candidates wishing to compete for a berth on the ball club are asked to contact the Rifle office in Libertyville at 362-8050. The resignation of Rifles headcoach Gene Cichowski has found the front office in­ terviewing numerous can­ didates bidding for the skip­ per's job this year. Lake County officials indicate a successor and staff will be named at their Wednesday evening board meeting. Stock Car Racing "Rapid Robert" May of Gurnee made it three feature wins in a row Sunday afternoon at the Waukegan Speedway as he raced to the front of the pack in the early laps and then held off challenges from Carl Major of Chicago as they both lapped slower cars. Sunday's races marked the end of afternoon racing at the Speedway with next weekend's cards being run on both Saturday and Sunday night. Time trials for the races are 7 p.m. with the first race at 8 p.m. Promoter Gordon Sill said every effort will be made to complete the program quickly so fans will be home early Sunday.
