A1 McNeil, the Rifles leading scorer last year made the extra point. Just before the half ended, Self faded back to pass but finding nobody open he dicided to run in what turned out to be one of the most exciting plays ever seen in Carmel Field. Thirteen blocks were thrown by the Rifles in a run that took Self 19 seconds and ended with the ball on the Manitowoc 5 yard line. The next play ended the half as Self completed a pass to Bill Trapp on the 3 yard line. SUPERB DEFENSE Lake County's defense, the best in the league last season, was superb Saturday. The Rifles cut off the passing attack of quarterback Jesse Kaye, the outstanding offensive player in the league last season, end Tom Lange, the best receiver last year. Thirteen times the Rifles stopped Manitowoc on plays from inside the Rifles 10 yard line, including four plays from the one yard line. Bruce Hart, a defensive halfback definitely has matured this season and played a very steady game at his position. The most spectacular defensive plays came from Bruce Heagstedt, linebacker, who threw the Manitowoc backs for large losses and led the charge when the Rifles had their backs against the wall. Franz said he was pleased with the Rifles rushing game, particularly the play of rookie back Abe Brown from the University of Hawaii, and with the receivers. The defense, he said, looked good. But he added that the Rifles have to improve their timing. Athletic Insurance Extended To Various Sports At McHenry High I ' nde r a new policy adopted by the Board of Education District 156, a new schedule of insurance coverage for athletics will be in effect for the 1973-74 school year Each sport will have an. individual premium plan in the revised sys t em. In su rance will be required for all sports for boys (in the past football was the only sport that required insurance). whereas in girl's athletics only field hockey will require in­ surance. Athletic insurance covers the student only while in practice or in games or to and from such practice or games. A student wanting the six hour o!r twenty- four hour coverage may pur­ chase this as a separate plan that is available to all students. It should be noted that all school athletic insurance is, secondary coverage to any coverage that the individual family may carry on a student. All students going out for a fall sport (football, cross country, field hockey) must fulfill their insurance obligations prior to reporting for a sport. This is to be done by paying the fee at the main office in the building in which he will be enrolled during the coming school year.

That park isn't large, but has a lot to offer. There were picnickers, children playing on swings and slides. Some steered the fire truck. Tennis players were numerous. Some practiced shooting baskets. Some played ball We just sat. Watched a little "Rasslin' " on T V. Very little. Both the Cubs and Sox need the All-Star break to rest and regroup their forces. We never give up hope of a Chicago World Series, but hopes are on the ropes. Maybe the Cubs needed Joe Pepitone. Since he went to Japan, the team has been digging down to China. Everybody throws southpaw pitchers at the Sox since they let their right handed bench strength get away. 'Twould seem, in fairness to Manager Tanner, that the front office should have acquired replacements before they let those fellows get away. Tanner must have some ideas that haven't appeared in print. And maybe those happy Cubs under Manager Whitey Lock- man can't play ball like the unhappy ones under Leo Durocher. SUDDEN THOUGHT - With all these people working on investigations, we wonder who is home tending the store. Dusting off an old one: A stranger in town passed the grocery store bearing on its window the name of the proprietor, "A. Swindler". Amused, the stranger entered the store and asked the grocer if he did not t,hink that his full name would make a better impression. "No", said the grocer, "it would be worse My first name is Adam." Used to hear about time in its flight. Now we believe it. The weeks go faster each year. 1973 at McHenry City park, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Registration fee will include insurance, bus and practice jersey.

TENNIS • * • By Pete Fritchie WASHINGTON, D.C.-One can sympathize with the aims of the tennis pros who recently boycotted Wimble­ don, and one must also ad­ mit that Wimbledon officials and judges have been noto­ riously amiss in more than one instance in recent years. In short, the management of Wimbledon, including of­ ficiating at matches, has b e e n s o m e w h a t l a c k i n g . Therefore, it's entirely pos­ sible the recent banning of a Yugoslav player was a mis­ take, a decision based on erroneous information. Nevertheless, Wimbledon stuck by the decision, in the best tradition of backing u p a n u m p i r e ' s d e c i s i o n (also done, usually, at Wim­ bledon). Tennis players in­ vited to compete were then left the choice of playing though they felt an injustice had been done or of refusing to play. The injustice, if it were that, is not the first or the last. In any event, organized players attempted to force Wimbledon to change its position by threat. That was a mistake. Touring pros shouldn't have that power, to decide on local tourna­ ment questions all around the globe. If touring pros want to run tournaments they should organize their own schedule of them and run them, as a league,. If they wish to com­ pete in worldwide competi­ tion, playing in all the fa­ mous old tennis meets, they must be prepared to abide by the rules and decisions of those running them, some of which from time to time might not be just or fair.

That honor was won by McHenry driver Duke Norton in 1972. BASEBALL * * * BY PETE FRITCHIE WASHINGTON. D.C.-The New York Yankees, once the terror of all baseball, are on the way. If there's any doubt about that, one need ask only Billy Martin, who must still hold the Yankees in awe. Last season Martin's club lost three straight to the Yankees late in the season, and it almost cost the Tigers the pennant in the east. Re­ cently they dropped five in a row to the Yankees, an unprecedented humiliation in recent years for the Ben­ gals, the last four decisions by one run, a clear indica­ tion there is either some­ thing psychological at work or morale problems among the Detroiters. The establishment of such mastery over the Tigers is shocking, since they are the team to beat and since they, with Cleveland, are one of the two teams which has never surrendered in awe to the once-powerful Yankees. In fact, for many years the Tigers have played the role of spoilers to the Yankees. Back in the great days of the McCarthy Yankees, it was the Tigers in 1940 (as in 1934 and 1935) who won the American League flag. They did it again in 1945, though then they slept for 23 years. But even in that long slumber, they had the reputation of Yankee killers. Martin has thus far been a successful manager; Ralph Houk seems, however, to have the ex-Yankee's num­ ber. SPACE-".i** AERONAUTICS, UPSIDE-DOWN WING WASHINGTON -- A new aircraft wing, called the NASA supercritical wing, has completed a full year of flight tests and the results are very encouraging. No one at NASA's Flight Research Center was sur­ prised at the results, how­ ever, because they confirmed exactly what was expected. The new wing shape lets jet aircraft operate more effici­ ently at speeds near Mach one, the speed of sound, or about 1,060 kilometers per hour (660 miles per hour) at cruising altitude.

The upper surfaces of conventional wings are cur­ ved from front to back so that air flowing along the surface travels a much great­ er distance than it would if it could go in a direct line from front to back. At cruise speeds of mod­ ern day jets, approximately Mach 0.8 or about 853 km/h (530 mph) at a cruising al­ titude of 10,500 meters (35,- 000 feet), the air flowing over the curved upper sur­ face of the wing reaches supersonic speeds. This re­ sults in local shock waves on the wing that cause a sharp rise in aerodynamic drag and a significant decrease in efficiency. The supercritical wing has its upper surface flattened while the underside is re­ shaped to provide a gradual upward curving and then a slight downward flourish at the trailing edge. This causes the shock wave to occur farther back on the wing virtually eliminating separa­ ted flow caused by shock. In turn, this lets the air­ craft go faster, smoothly and safely, without drag penalty. This upside - down wing concept was invented and re­ fined by Dr. Richard T. Whitcomb at the NASA Langley Research Center, Hampton, Va. Then a test wing was built and placed on a Navy F-8 Crusader and flight-tested at the NASA Flight Research Cen­ ter, Edwards, Calif. Since its first flight in March, 1971, the F-8 with the supercritical wing has made 27 flights reaching a top speed of Mach 1.2, about 1267 km/h (792 mph) and a peak altitude of 15,000 m (51,000 ft.). Later this year flight tests will resume with the fuse­ lage of the F-8 aircraft modified to further reduce drag. Where does all this lead? It leads to our next genera­ tion of commercial jet air­ liners which will cruise at higher speeds with no in­ crease in fuel consumption. This results in lower operat­ ing costs per mile and hope­ fully, lower air fares. Blind dates are often eye- openers. Nations wouldn't have to resort to arms so frequently, if they used their heads first. <**¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥MMMMHYY¥¥¥YYVY¥i « Are You New In s -( McHenry Area 7 ********** I Do You Know Someone New?
