PAOFVP'AINDEALER-FRIDAY, AUGUST 18, 1972 Associations Approve Appaloosa Horse Show; Chuck Wagon Riders Stock Car Racing • ' -*< •' • metr First place for the "Most Colorful Apaloosa at Halter" went to Thomas Hart of McHenry in the recent Horse Show at Crystal Lake. For the beautiful "App" shown above Linda Neal, of Woodstock, is in charge of both the horse and the trophy. Chuck Wagon Riders Saddle club held their first Appaloosa Horse Show recently at the Thunderbird Horsemen's Camp in Crystal Lake. Blackhawk and Southern Wisconsin gave joint approval of the Illinois Show. There were over 350 entries participating in the 42 classes. Larry Edwards of Dayton, Ohio judged the show and according to spectators as well as the participants, did a great job. The morning was taken up by stallion, gelding, and mare classes; get of sire, produce of dam, and herd classes; youth ^SPORTS FANS!. 1 I BET YOU DIDN'T KNOW ^ 3 ! - • I Brought To You By John Jepsen The U.S. Golf Asso­ ciation has sent out some tips on what to do if it begins lightening while you're on a golf course, and we're happy to pass these tips along to you... The USGA says (1) Avoid high ground; (2) Stay away from metal fences and - lakes; (3) Don't get under a lone tree; (4) If you can't reach the clubhouse before a storm strikes, choose a depression or valley in the ground, or better yet, a nearby auto­ mobile (which is one of the safest places of all to be during lightening.)

Whitey Harris, Lake Villa, Illinois driver of a super modified stock car racing on the Interstates Racing Association circuit on Saturday nights at the Kenosha County Speedway in Wilmot, Wis., and at the Lake Geneva Raceway, may wind up the 1972 season in the overall runner up spot again, but he's still number one with the fans of the IRA Super Circuit. Harris again topped the voting in the super modified division but this season Roger Otto, Burlington, moved up to take over the runner up spot that was gained by Paul Cameron, Round Lake, in 1971. Sid Norton, McHenry, took over poular driver in the Sportsman stock car class and dropped Joe Gresk, Franklin, Wisconsin back to runner up spot. Sid's brother, Duke was voted most popular rookie driver of the Sportsman class and in fact received more than twice as many votes as Harris. Voting in the super modified class was divided over more candidates than possible in the Sportsman group of rookies. Jim Moulis, Antioch, won the popular driver rookie selection of the super modifieds with another Antioch drivjerr Stan Horton, runner up. Third in this group was Dick Heinz, ^Nor- thbrook. The ladies have raced frequently at the Lake Geneva Raceway. Their scheduled races have been rained out, delayed due to overworked wreckers but last night topped all previous problems. After Ruth Ingersoll, who has never been defeated in the Powder Puff series, won a heat, the races were cancelled when in a rapidly descending fog a car driven by the wife of driver Dale Brandenburg, hit and broke off a track light pole. She was not injured but this series of events caused an end to racing for the night. Roger Otto, Burlington won the 30 lap feature race for IRA Super modified stock cars Sunday night at the Lake Geneva Raceway. It was his second time in as many nights to earn the feature win. On Saturday night he won at the Kenosha County Fairgrounds in Wilmot. Hope has its place in all lives, but the person who subsists on a steady diet of it is hopeless.

The Central States Football League season will start this coming Saturday with the Rifles traveling to Rockford to play against the Rockford Rams, league champions. The first two scores against Racine were made by Dennis Duncan, the Rifles star run­ ning back. In the second quarter he went two yards through right guard to score and a three yard plunge in the third period gave the Rifles their next touchdown. Unfortunately very few fans saw Duncan's second score because of the fog and it was five minutes after the score that the field announcer was able to identify the player who made the touchdown and the circumstances that led to it - a bad pass from center on a punt attempt that sent the ball Time trials 6 pm. - Races 7 pm. sailing over the head of Ray Danoski who recovered it on the three yard line where he was tackled. In the fourth quarter John Dobbs passed to Ron Jurewicz on a 22 yard pass play. Another bad pass from center set up the score when the Racine punter again had to chase after the snapped ball. On the scoring play the Rifles receivers went into the end zone; Jurewicz delayed coming out of the backfield and went five yards past the line of scrimmage where he took a low pass from Dobbs and then ran 17 yards into the end zone untouched, apparently because the Racine defenders were unable to see the play. The 1,920 fans who saw the game, almost a Rifles record for an exhibition game, were treated to another excellent defensive effort by the Rifles including a goal line stand. The Rifles gained 294 yards against 100 for their opponents and made 14 first downs against 5 for Racine. The calendar has moved past the middle of August and one can almost hear the school bells ringing. Times must have changed. We have heard that many kids are anxious to get back to school. In our day, there was always talk of promoting three months of school and nine month's vacation. EARL WALSH So I Hear SPQBJS EDITOR. Illinois Farm Sports Festival Begins Monday Most young kids went barefoot all summer and dreaded the torture of putting on shoes to go to school. Perhaps it is because schools offer so much more in the way of sports and recreation that students are anxious to return. For some it must be the chance of greater learning. Others may miss their classmates during the summer vacation. All we know is what we hear. Mothers have told us their children are tired of vacation. Fall must be near. We have had a request for the fall sports schedule at McHenry High. Trust it will be here soon. Cooler weather will suit us. We had a cook-out Wednesday night, but went inside to eat. The hefet, the humidity and the blamed mosquitoes were too much. * Those Pittsburgh Pirates are running away with the National League race like a ringer in a horse race at the County Fair. Since the leagues have ex­ panded, most teams have trouble finding a true big- leaguer to fill every position. Not so with the Pirates. They seem to be loaded. If all the water from all the lakes of the world were emptied into the ocean, it would raise the level about two feet. McHenry County Farm Bureau members' quest for fun and honors in the 1972 Illinois Farm Sports Festival begins Monday morning with five softball teams in the final tournament. The two-day tournament is part of the finals of this "greatest rural sports classic in the world" and will wind up activities that began with bowling in February. McHenry County will be hard-pressed to retain its second place finish although it qualified seven golfers for the state finals and qualified a record five softball teams. Last year three teams advanced to the state with the 35'ers and All- County both winning first. Scoring is weighted to stress participation, and the victories do contribute to thife point total on a modest scale. What will be missing in the effort to retain second is the point contribution by the 11 swimmers who took part last year at the state meet. Many of the team members were in the conference meet last weekend so one swimmer -- Mary Sue Parker - did par­ ticipate in the Sports Festival finals. She took part in five events (participation points) and grabbed seconds and thirds. The county scored strongly in bowling, earning four district firsts and several seconds. None of the golfers earned a trophy but the seven added important participation points and earned further points with district wins. In 1968 McHenry County Farm Bureau placed seventh in the overall state-wide Sports Festival. In 1969 it ranked fifth and moved up to fourth in 1970. The 1970 season saw 24 swimmers take part in the state meet, winning 12 trophies! The softball 35'ers that year went to the semi-finals, losing 1-0 to the eventual champs. NHANS R I O H O I a .

On Tuesday the en­ trants participated in the preliminary qualifying rounds for the track and field and swimming. Finals were scheduled on Wednesday.
