(STAFF PHOTO / WAYNE GAYLORD( Whites Defeat Blacks 24-20 In Annual Soap Bowl Game At MCHS By Dick Rabbitt In venturing into the field of journalism I welcome the opportunity and challenge of writing on the Athletic Ac­ tivities of McHenry High School for the coming year. I do not have the experience, wit, or wisdom of the "Master", the gentleman who conducts a column on these sport pages, but with his advice and help we'll be able to keep you sports fans posted for the coming year. The White Team led by Senior Q.B. Randy Mauch scored a thrilling 24 to 20 victory over the Blacks last Friday nite at McCracken Field in the annual Soap Bowl Game before a good crowd of students, parents and fans, who contributed boxes and boxes of soap for the athletes for the coming year. Mauch scored 2 T.D.'s and Roger Ludwig also sewed a T.D. for the Blacks. Extra points were the factor in this thrilling game and the Whites converted three to the Blacks' one. Bob Habich who thrilled the crowd time after time with sensational catches caught two for the Whites and Tom Knaack ran for another. Scott Lun- delius scored the lone E.P. for the Blacks. Enthusiasm and spirit is running high in the Warrior camp and from all indications it looks as if the coaching staff has the team prepared for the opener Saturday at Schaum- burg high school. Coach Bill Day is starting his 16th year in the coaching ranks with a record of 74 wins and 44 defeats and 4 ties. I am sure it would be most pleasing to him if the Warriors could give him victory number 75 next Saturday afternoon. Forty-three boys have reported this year including six lettermen. They are Mark Bentz and Randy Mauch, both Quartebacks, Roger Ludwig and Russ Grover halfbacks, Bob Habich, an end, and Phil Mowrer a tackle. A seventh letterman Jim Dimopolous had knee surgery and will be unable to play this year. Others on the squad are, John Cunat, Jack Dustimer, Mark Gibson, Pat Heald, Dan Hellios, Larry Isaacs, Tom Knaack, George Loss man, Scott Lun- delius, Doug Nelson, Scott Stull, Gary Truckenbrod, Mike Whitehead, Ron Ahlberg, Fred Bixby, Mike Clark, Briai^j Cunat, Kerry Decker, Bob Dobbertin, Rick Freund, Jim Grabowski, Bill Gregory, Jeff Hoffstetter, Steve Hurckes, Rich Lenzie, Tom Long, John Meyer, Roger Mroz, Steve O'Halleran, Rick Orton, Scott Smith, Bob Staley, Mike Thornton, Tom Wright, Mark Wyatt, Dewey Hanamaker and Wayne Johnson. Directions for you football fans to Schaumburg are as follows: Take Rt. 31 to Algonquin to Rte. 62. Go East on 62 to Barrington road. Go south on Barrington road to Schaum­ burg road. Go east on Schaumburg road to the high school. Sophomore game at 12 noon. Varsity plays at 2 p.m. Hope to see you there. CROSS COUNTRY CO-CAPTAINS, Tim Tonyan and George Haines. Varsity Defeats Fro sh-Soph, 14-6 It was a cold, damp day when the varsity C.C. team played the Frosh-Soph C.C. Kevin Haley kicked off to start the game and the Frosh-Soph fell apart under the defensive pressure, then fumbled on third down and 25 yards to go. G. Haines jumped on the fumble for the varsity, behind the leadership of T. Tonyan, scored on a pass to K. Haley. Late in the second quarter T. Tonyan threw to T. Wilt who went crashing into the goal post for the varsity's second touch­ down. Then, on the next series of plays, Soph T. Talkat grabbed a pass out of the air and ran 65 yards for the Frosh- Soph only points. Insects annually destroy more than enough timber to build 1,- 333,000 homes. Tim Tonyan and George Haines are the co-captains for the Warrior Cross Country team for the '72 season. Both are seniors at West Campus and members of the 500 mile club. Tim is the son of Hank and Charlene Tonyan and George is the son of Marilyn and George Haines.

Last year's fine group of seniors lost only four dual meets in four years, while winning 111 meets. This is the best record in the history of McHenry athletics. Coming back from last year are letter winners and Co- McHenry's entire Cross Country team will run in its first big invitational meet this' Saturday, Sept. 16 at Maine West High School, located at Wolf and Oakton in Des Plaines.

Captains George Haines and Tim Tonyan. Other boys being counted on and have fine potential are seniors Kevin Haley, Barry Lescher, Bruce Sweeney and Larry Tucker. Juniors, Tim Wilt, last year's most valuable sophomore, Mark Schuster, Kevin Worm and Rich Nowell. Among the sophomores who have the ability and potential to run with the varsity are Kevin Wynveen, Tim Talbot, John Mclnerney, John Barnings and Greg Worm. The sophomores are a great group of kids who could develop into state con­ tenders it they stick together for next few years. McHenry has four levels, which includes varsity, junior varsity, sophomore and fresh­ men. There are 37 boys out for this year's Cross Country Team. McHenry has only one coach for all the levels. This year's schedule is a real challenge. In addition to some fine big invitational# Main West, Oak Park and Crystal Lake, McHenry will host the Conference and County meets.

And, seldom does she admit reading "S.LH." But, it is all in fun and part of what it takes in the Cast pace and tense moments of getting out copy for a newspaper. This time we have to give "K.A.F." credit for a great column. She lost a neighbor and friend. We lost a friend. Joe May died suddenly. 'Twould be like gilding the lily if we tried to add to that column about Joe and "Bob­ bie" (whom we have known since her pony days). A good man, a good solid citizen was taken from us. It isn't easy SPQRTS EDITOR. to replace these kind. "K.A.F." said it all. Your sports page lost Fred Kusch as reporter of high school events when he changed schools. Now comes Dick Rabbitt to take over. We have referred to Dick as "The People's Choice" and hope that is just what he will be on the sports page. He has the knowledge of sports and what it takes. His first report is on the page in this issue. We think Gayle Sayers is a wise young man to retire from pro football. He gave a lot to the game, but suffered severe injuries. Further injury would be too much to expect of this great athlete. ' One must wonder why even so-called good people are out to hurt others in one way or another. Maybe the good young people can turn this cockeyed world around. It's a big order. To think that such horrible things as murder should happen at an Olympics is beyond belief. That is where the cream of young athletes gather not. only to win races, but to solidify friendships. Decisions certainly left much room for improvement in those Munich events. Our basketball team was the victim of a long count. One of our boxers lost on what is termed a "home" decision in this country. A young man reported prescribed medication in his application, was allowed to compete, then disqualified.
