PLAINDEALER PHOTO You will probably read about it in today's Plaindealer: the McHenry cross country team lost to Zion-Benton, 27-28. This came as a rather humiliating slap in the face, considering all our recent efforts to give cross country more publicity. We have been trumpeting our Victories andaccomplishments,! so we should at least give equal time to what we hope will be our only loss this year. this year. We were ripe for a loss. That statement best describes the state of our team at the time of the meet. The meets had been coming along every other day for the past two weeks, and with so little practice time, it was obvious that we could not be expected to run our best race. Coupled with this was the fact that several key runners had recently come off illnesses, and they were not yet back in form. These, however, are excuses, and nobody is interested in Jaycee Kids Fishing Rodeo Chairman Gary Gray of the McHenry area Jaycees an nounces that a fishing rodeo for area youngsters 5-15 will be held at the McHenry Country club, Saturday, Oct. 16.

Mrs. Granger graciously allowed our family to use the cottage for a week That was fun When we explained that it was a vacation -- that was no excuse. Our pony and cart furnished all the transportation we needed after setting up camp. It really wasn't a vacation, but we skipped out for one half day and a couple of hours the next Now and then a fellow has to skip out and care not whether school keeps or not. Another day we joined the Winkels in a trip to Holy Hill and points north There were certain people high on our list that we wanted to pray for, but Winkel thinks it will take another trip or two to get the job done Took a boat ride down the Fox River and through the locks at the McHenry dam. Looking down from that heavenward height on the mass of autumn leaves was a beautiful sight. All our boat rides have been to northern ports This one took us right to our old camping grounds At Idyl Dell Road we pointed out where the hunters' shack stood alone in all its glory That was Bally-O-Greg Also saw the Horicon wild life refuge where thousands of geese assembled on their way south. Those big honkers eat and drink to their hearts content. Nobody is shooting at them except with cameras. Across the river was Grandma Hick's home and a small cottage owned by Mrs. Granger (Mabel Granger Johnson's mother). No other near neighbors Met Mike Wieser, Jim (Longhorn) Freund and the Thompson brothers ( you know, the well-fed one and his little brother). The talk turned to baseball.

When we urged them to buy a paper and catch up on the news, Jim said, "You can't believe those newspapers. They lie." Snowmobile Course A Huge Success hearing excuses. There were basically two reasons for our defeat. One, Zion-Benton has a pretty fair cross country team. Two, our attitude was poor. It( could be traced to a kind of overconfidence. We had begun to believe that it« wasn't necessary to prepare mentally for every meet; that we only had to worry about the sup­ posedly "tough" teams. With these conditions, it should have come as no real surprise when the Zee-Bee's stung us. The loss is behind us now, and it has solidified us as a team. We have two goals; win our conference, and then go down to the state finals. The ZB meet showed us where we were lacking, especially in attitude. As is so often the case with a bitter loss, we think it has made a better team of us. Let's hope this proves to be true. We would like to put in one last note, urging all of you to come to a cross country meet. The season is coming to a close, but many of the really im­ portant meets are still ahead of us, and we need your support. Unlike other sports, our spectators can stand within a few feet of the runners, and give us a very big lift with their cheering. In most sports, the players are only able to hear an indistinct roar for their sup­ port, but we are able to hear our individual fans, and we most definitely believe they can make the difference between winning and losing a meet. Come on out to one of our meets, we think you'll like it. All cross country needs to become a spectator sport is the spectators. BREAKING THE ICE . . .

School District 156 Swim Program In Full Swing The fans are really on Dock Fllis, Pirate pitcher, since he popped off about the management and a hotel bed that was too short. It may be that his cap is too tight since he reached stardom and the big money. Old time ball players should have had it so good.

Not having to concern himself with proper lens opening or shutter speed, he simply walks up to an interesting scene and snaps the shutter. His picture will be sharp, so why bother with anything else? Do bother! Perhaps the main advantage of automatic cameras is the creative free­ dom they allow. Pictures of your camping trip more illuminating than a simple mem­ ory bank require more than a click of the shutter. They require a personal touch, your personal touch. Before snapping away, slow down. Why Frank Paiio are you taking this picture? What do you want to convey? * * * Fast shooters take a minute to walk around and select the best angle to shoot from. If it's a scene you really want to capture, try shooting it from different angles and distances. Experiment. Creative photography is as easy as that. It's almost as if some people are afraid to be seen with a camera. They'll look at a scene for a long time, then jerk the camera to eye level and snatch a shot. They don't hold the camera steady or take time to look at the scene through the .viewfinder. Besides blurring photos, this results in tilting horizons and lakes draining off the side of the picture. Some other interesting observations: • * • Shyness Brings No Reward -- "People pictures" are One Of the most commonly missed photo opportunities. People seem to be quite shy about taking other people's photographs. They return from a camping trip and show a picture of a forest ranger station -- then proceed to talk for 20 minutes about the fascinating forest ranger whose pic­ ture they didn't take. Most people are flattered if someone asks to take their picture. • • • Don't Turn Your Youngsters Into Caterpillars -- If you're camping out in the woods, don't dress your kids in green. They'll look about as distinctive as caterpillars hiding in the grass. Since you have to dress the kids anyway, you might as well put some bright clothes on them and add color to your pictures. * * * Save The Ice Cream Bags -- Quite often, I see people on the highway who have their cameras and film tucked away on the rear deck of the car. That's an absolute no-no. The heat can damage both film and camera. Film should be placed on the floor in the back seat behind the driver --on the opposite side from the exhaust. Before I go on a trip, I save up the insulated grocery bags they put ice cream in. They're ideal for keeping film cool. And if you are going to a beach, but don't have a camera case, slip the camera into a plastic bag; it's the same principle.

But nei­ ther might make it. It could be Alabama. Or it might be T e x a s o r o n e o f s e v e r a l other powers. Alabama got a flying start by beating Southern Cal. The Crimson Tide plays a tougher schedule than usual this year, perhaps tougher than some of the other pow­ ers. Bear Bryant's team meets Mississippi, Tennes­ see, LSU, Miami and Auburn, among other foes. Both Ten­ nessee and Auburn are very tough this season, and Mis­ s i s s i p p i b e a t B a m a b a d l y (48-23) last year, as did LSU (14-9). Notre Dame always plays a tough schedule and this season is no exception. And included in the foes of the Irish this year are Miami, LSU and Southern Cal. LSU almost upset the Irisfr last year, losing 0-3, and South­ ern Cal whipped the South Benders 38-28. Should the Irish have trouble with LSU or Southern Cal again, Crim­ son Tide fans would have a good comparison, assuming the Tide wins its LSU game. The Irish also meet North Carolina this season, which could be a test, on October 16th. Nebraska might find itself up against a critical test when the Cornhuskers meet Oklahoma late in the season (Nov. 25). And Ohio State, if things get better for the Buckeyes, might see their season hinged on the final game, with powerful Michi­ gan.
