V McHenry High School Athletic Program Has 648 Students Involved WOULD YOU JUMP FROM AN AIRPLANE TO HELP SOMEONE? The Skydivers of Hebron, Illinois will show you how to do it at Crystal Lake Airport, on July 17, at the Airshow being held there for the benefit of the Countryside Center for the Handicapped. The Center operates a Day School and a Sheltered Workshop for severely handicapped children and adults and serves the suburbs northwest of Chicago. The show will include Antique and Ex­ perimental Displays, game and exhibit booths, drawings for free airplane rides, and music starting at 10:30 A.M. with the Airshow commencing at 1:30 P.M. Advance sale price tickets are available at most financial institutions of the county. A total of 648 boys were in­ volved in the athletic program at McHenry high school during the past school year according to new athletic director Bill Blankenhorn. When broken down as to the number of separate individuals, there were 419 different boys representing McHenry in 386 interscholastic contests during the 1970-71 year. One of the primary goals of the athletic department is to have as many bovs as possible participate in the in­ terscholastic program. "Next year we are hoping that at least 500 boys will take an active part in the program and that our total involvement will reach 750 participants in a schedule that will include nearly 400 contests. We will be playing a full schedule of sophomore 'B' games in both football and basketball in the coming year to help us achieve our goal of more participation. Also, we will have four levels of com­ petition in all conference wrestling matches," said Blankenhorn. SUMMARY OF SEASONS Bill Day's varsity football team placed third in the con­ ference with a 4-3 record while the sophomores finished with a 5-3 overall mark. The cross country team, under new head coach Bill Hutchinson, finished third in the conference meet just three points behind champion Crystal Lake. The varsity had a 14-2 dual meet record as well as finishing first in the Grant-Crystal Lake Invitational, third in the State District, fifth in the Libertyville Invitational and sixth in the State Sectional. The frosh-soph finished with a 14--0-1 dual record. . Coach Ken Ludwig guided the varsity basketball team to a fifth place finish in conference play with an 8-6 record and an overall mark of 13-11. Junior varsity, sophomore "A" and "B" and freshman "A" and "B" teams also play a regular schedule that includes several tournaments on the sophomore and freshman "A" levels. Last year's sophomore team was 23- 1, including two tournament championships while the fresh- Chapel Hill Golf News r EARL WALSH CHAPEL HILL LADIES GOLF LEAGUE The Chapel Hills Ladies Golf league standings as of June 22 are as follows: Schlitz.

Many a game could be won with a good bunt at the right time. With a count 3-0 on a batter, we hear "the pitcher can't find the plate". The next two pitches come right down the middle. Pitchers can find the plate most of the/time if they want to put the ball right over. It's the corners they want to hit. Bases on balls are the downfall of many pitchers. Just Boating . { Safety Tips | If your boat should capsize or swamp, take this word of ad­ vice from boating safety ex­ perts: Don't attempt to swim to shore; it is probably much farther than it looks; stay with the boat - most pleasure craft will stay afloat even when capsized or filled with water, and a capsized boat is more easily spotted by rescue craft than a lone swimmer in the water. Just hang on and wait for help to arrive. watch and see how often those base runners score. Catchers tip off pitches - especially low and outside. Seems this left handed, right handed pitcher-batter stuff is carried too far. Good pitchers can get em out no matter which side of the plate they swing from. And many hitters do just as well against one as the other. (Seems to us that Chuck Hiller hit about .364 in the Texas League and did better against left handers than right. When he went up to the majors the next year, they didn't put him in against south­ paw pitchers). That's the way the ball bounces. Just our observations. We suppose this is something everybody ought to know. The moon is 500 million years younger than figured. Could never tell to look at it. The face looks the same. Eddie Pieroni was waiting for us after the Sox clobbered his favorite Cubs last Thur­ sday. sailor straw hat with Cub band. He must have decided he has been wearing the wrong hat all these years. Mary Etten waited until the next day to call us after the Sox lowered the boom. With the Cubs leading 3-0 going into the stretch, Mary's heart was in her mouth and she couldn't talk. She recovered enough by Friday to cut out the headlines of the game and paste it on one of those hats for an appearance at Bimbo's. No calls came in from the Cub bolsters. The ones we happened to meet were full of alibis. \ A look at the box score shows that the Sox Stars were not in the entire game. It was a case of those young upstarts not showing respect for their elders. Oh, man! Now we really believe it.
