Farm , Sports Festival DEFENSIVE DRIVING - Heard a lot about defensive (hiving for a while. If we weren't that kind before, a couple of experiences in the past week made a believer out of us. One day it was at the corner of Green and Elm. This driver (hate to tell you a woman) breezed through a stop signal like it wasn't there. Everybody else at all corners had stopped properly. This one was going so fast her car bounced. Looking around, on the defensive side, we stopped. Could have been clobbered.' A couple of days later a driver ignored the yield sign at Crazy Corners (Front Waukegan - Elm - Rte. 31 - Rte. 120). Again we could have got it. If we had any hair on the top of our head, it would have stood up straight. Makes a fellow think the horse and buggy days weren't so bad. It is Wednesday night. Sox lost. Cubs won. Called on Bill DeVries and his bride of 25 years. First thing EARL WALSH So I Hear SPORTS EDITOR, Bill said was to remind us of the games. Bill just got out of the hospital, but was happy with his family gathered 'round. Bill insisted that we sample the corned beef on the table. Man, was that eatin'! Best we ever ate. Of course, we didn't call to eat corned beef or hear about those wonderful Cubs.. Just wanted to wish this happy couple many more years of happiness. Can't believe it, but Labor Day is just around the week­ end. When McHenry was a summer resort town, they used to say we rolled up the sidewalks the day after Labor Day and rolled them back out the next Memorial Day. The pace did slow down when our summer visitors left, but families and the natives became a little closer during the long winter. Wayne Gaylord took pictures of the Warrior football players today. With a helping hand from those strong young coaches, we can climb into that press coop again soon. Never fail to enjoy it. |S YOUTH LEAGUE - BRAVES -1. John Weyland, 2. Tom Long, 3. Dave Miller, 4.

Brought To You By John Jepsen „ Strong success by softball teams in district play, com­ bined with placements by three ,"teams in the state finals of the * Illinois Farm Sports Festival in late August, enabled McHenry County Farm Bureau to finish fifth in overall county stan­ dings. Strong showing by golfers in the district-seven qualified for the state finals-plus Mary Sue Parker's standout performance as a one-woman swim team- combined with earlier bowling points to help the county gain 2,420 team points, said Henry , Edgerton, executive secretary *of the McHenry County Farm bureau. This represents a slight setback in final county standing compared with the placement ^SPORTWftNSr I ' BET • YOU 1 DIDNT I KNOW I I Do you know how many • •major college footballl • teams in the last 40 years • ••have been able to goj through a season un- • • beaten, untied and UN-5 • SCORED ON?....Only three | teams have done it in alia this time...They were Col- I I gate in 1932, Duke in 19381 Sand Tennessee in 1939,and* | no team has been able to I Ido it since then. **** I Here's an oddity...Foot-• ball is always referred to • Ias the "pigskin sport", and! the football itself is often* I called the "pigskin" -- I 5 but, did you know that 5 • footballs aren't made from | Ipigskin anymore!....

The team was seventh in 1968. Scoring is weighted to stress participation, and McHenry county had extensive par­ ticipation in softball, bowling, and golf, but most of the swimmers this year were in­ volved in a conference meet so did not take part in the state Sports Festival except for Miss Parker who took part in several events and won some seconds and thirds! "One of the big satisfactions is the interest generated among county rural and urban people as they become acquainted through the various events," said Edgerton. "The sports e good recreational 'rtunities, people taking in sports they enjoy, phasis is on the fun part, but e also enjoy the winning, too," he grinned. Winning is part of the game, as Softball Chairman Jim Keefe would say, and the All- County team defended its state title in three brilliant games of defensive softball, augmented by incredible pitching on the part of Lloyd Jacobs and Bob Tempe. The Slow Pitch team ranked third, downing Cass-Morgan, 16-6, after losing to Champaign. The 35'ers, defending champs, bowed to Vermillion and then wound up in fourth in the consolation game. Both Ver­ million and Champaign proceeded to win their respective championships after turning back major challenges by McHenry County teams. Vermillion downed1 DeKalb for the 35'ers title. The Boys 4-H team and the Young Adult teams lost first game efforts at the state meet. This year five teams qualified from McHenry county, an outstanding achievement. Best representation in previous years was three winners in the seven classes. At the state meet in Springfield, Farm Bureau and McHenry FS provided a dinner for participants, and 103 at­ tended, the biggest throng the county has had at the two-day finals for the "greatest rural sports classic in the world." Seven golfers in July qualified for the state meet to give the county a large con­ tingent. None ranked in the top five of the respective classes this year, and Norman Specht, chairman, noted scoring at the Savoy tourney was difficult on the University of Illinois course. McHenry County Farm Bureau plans Its annual dinner for all Sports Festival par­ ticipants • the weekend 1w/f Thanksgiving, Keefe reports. ' Last spring Ken Reed headed the bowling tourney. Success at those tourneys was a major factor in the county garnering its 2,420 points, Edgerton reviewed. Golfers advancing to the state meet: Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Jones (third straight year) and Ray Semro-Joyce Specht, mixed doubles; Elroy Butenschoen, regular mem­ bers; Mrs. George Jackson, women; and Paul Jackson, senior male over 60.
