4T \ PAGE 6 -PLAINDEALER - WFn\ESDAY AUGUST 1,1973 EARL WALSH' So I Hear SPORTS EDITORJ McHenry County Football Fans To Get Break At Rifles Game Saturday Those White Sox will make a wreck of us. An emotional confrontation will take place when the Lake County Rifles open their league season against the Delavan Red Devils at 7:30 Saturday (August 4) in Carmel Field, Mundelein. Quarterback Bob "The Red Baron" Berezowitz will be in his first starting assignment since Delavan traded him for 26 players to the Rifles. At Delavan Berezowitz set nearly every passing record in the Central States Football League. The emotion will be even more intense because Rifles head coach Bob Franz and offensive coach Tom Parsley both were the head coaches at Delavan. It should be an exciting football evening in even more ways. One way is that Ned Locke, the jovial ringmaster on WGN- TV's "Bozo's Circus" will be the special half time star at the game. Mr. Ned as he is known by his legions of fans will personally meet each youngster at the game and give the child a free autographed picture of himself Additionally, residents of McHenry and Walworth counties may attend this game for half price. McHenry was selected in recognition of Berezowits, Franz. Parsley and star defensive back Terry Stanger who live and work in McHenry county. The gesture to Walworth county fans is because Rifles management thought they would like to see their old star and coaches in action. There will be plenty more excitement on the football field because Delavan is a strong team that in its exhibition season tied league champions West Allis to 14 to 14. The Rifles, defending southern division champion, have been very impressive during their 1973 exhibition season. The game starts at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Carmel Field on highways 63 and 176 in Mun­ delein Shamrocks Win Two Games From Division Leading The McHenry Shamrocks take a pair of games from the division leaders: Judson college. Last Saturday the Shamrocks played fine defense to beat Judson 4-1 and 4-2. Stahlman started the first game which was for league standings. He had Judson hitting everything into the ground as he threw strike after strike. Stahlman gave up an unearned run in the 7th when Smith got on by an error. He went to second on a bunt and third on an infield out. Gawron earned the RBI on a base hit. Stahlman struck out 5 men, walked one batter and gave up 4 hits. Judson's pitcher, Doud, had a shutout going until the eighth inning when 5 straight hits were made by McHenry. Pokorny started it off with a base hit, followed by a base hit by Stahlman. Rusty Zick came up and cleared the bases with a home run blast to left center. Langlee followed with another base hit and Jackson hit a two base hit to drive in the 4th run. In the second game Zick started the game off with a hit followed by a double by Langlee to drive in a run and with 2 outs Rohrer drove in the second run with a base hit. This gave the Shamrocks the lead which they never lost. They did score once in the 3rd and once in the 4th. Broederdorff was the winning pitcher and Hanchett was the losing pitcher.

Contrary to former years, all sports will require a rate plan whereas football was the only requirement in past years. Again, this plan is secondary coverage to any coverages the parents may have on a student. Also, the regular schooltime and 24 hour coverage for any student does not cover in- terscholastic sports, nor does the interscholastic sports coverage cover accidents other than during practice or games for interscholastic sports.

Wilbur wasn't around at the finish, but Cy Acosta saved the day in relief. Ken Henderson and Bill Melton can't run so good since their injuries. It is obvious that Ken isn't ready to go back to center field, but Buddy Bradford is getting the job done in fancy fashion. The Sox led 8-3 then gave us ulcer troubles when it went to 8- Would that Wood wins 30. The All-Star football game is now history. We noted one thing. Those Stars were not a timid bunch. It is still evident that you have trouble molding a winner out of a group of college stars in three weeks. The pros have played together and know all the tricks. We like telecaster Curt Gowdy's idea of moving the ball back on kickoffs. Too many kickers can boot the ball over the goal line. The ball is then put in play on the 20 yard line. There is more action in punt returns. Why don't they put fellows like Gowdy on the rules committee? Stu Holcomb did a lot as General Manager for the White Sox, but didn't have experience in baseball. Now that he has resigned, maybe he will go back to football where he had greater success. Dealing with professional baseball players is a bit dif­ ferent from handling college football players. We can't argue with Holcomb for not rewarding players who didn't produce, but think he should have replaced them with right handed hitters before he let them go for nothing. % OFF AAENSWEAR • SLACKS 175 Pairs, Mostly Double Knits m $22-$35 Values • CASUAL SHIRTS y 0FF By Izod, Difini Buy 0nef 2nd Shirt/3 • FOOT JOY OFF GOLF SHOES L\3/o /LADIES SPORTSWEAR7 assigned as a result of scores of the first 18-hole match. The Pinecrest Junior classic is held at Pinecrest Golf & Country club in Huntley, 111., 3 miles north of 1-90 on Highway 47. The Junior classic precedes the Pinecrest Golf classic professional tournament to be held on Friday, Sept. 14. The Santa Fe Trail was our first transcontinental highway, unpaved, unmarked, and often varied in location from year to year. It served many thousands of early travellers and ad­ venture seekers. Toni Weber and Pam Spengel are local young ladies entered in a golf tournament at Bloomingdale (Did we get that name right?) We wish them a lot of success. Hear that many of our young girls are playing golf at McHenry Country Club every Monday morning. Starting young will make them real good golfers in a few years. Warren Weber's claim to fame is that he is "the world's worst golfer". He said it.

(STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD) The Season Of The Lonely Sport SPORTS CORNER This is the season of the lonely sport. It is called cross country. The glory and the glamour are on the gridiron. The guts are out on the course where the cross-country meets are run. Football players perform in front of thousands of frenzied, shrieking fans in plush stadiums. Their rib-rattling efforts are cheered on by long- legged, short skirted cheerleaders. They are out­ fitted with the best equipment plastic, rubber and jersey can provide. Their every hangnail is ministered to by a battery of trainers, physicians and surgeons. Sportswriters give them flashy nicknames like "Tank" and "Animal", and pour out reams of purple prose, quoting faithfully every belch and grunt, while radio and TV casters describe their every move in breathless decibels. The football player gets the stats and the ink and the homecoming queen. The cross-country runner gets leg cramps and seared lungs and the dry heaves. Not to mention blisters. Most cross-country meets are about as well attended as a refrigerator auction in Siberia, or the commission of an act of hari-kari. Cross-Country runners have no equipment problems. They put on shorts, maybe a T-shirt and some shoes. If you're really sporty, you wear a head band to keep the sweat out of your eyes. Football players hear the swelling crescendo of 70,000 voices screaming for a score. | K0ENEMANN I Country Made Sausages, : Hams and Bacon [GERMAN IMPORTS AND CHEESES | A Full Line Of Delicatessen I 815-385-6260 Jos' •12 I ^iiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiii^.1 How's Your Hearing?

Cross-Country runners hear their own rasping breathing, the pounding of their blood in their head'the crunching rhyth- m of their own footsteps...and a little voice whispering taunts, asking maddening questions: "Only three more miles, spaghetti legs, only three more miles.. .will you make it? Or are you gonna quit? Come on, lie to your legs some more; tell them just one more hill and then you'll sit down and rest." They call it the loneliness of the long distance runner. It is an apt phrase. For the runner has only one other companion in each race .His name is pain. They draw elaborate pat­ terns of X's and O's in football, and they send out scouts and they use computers and they draw up game plans more complex and involved than the D-Day invasion of the beaches at Normandy. But the strategy in cross­ country is simple and brutal. You go out and run and you run until you think you simply cannot take one more step, you run until it feels like your head is a hornets' nest with its own population explosion and your lungs are on fire and your heart is beating jackhammer fast and your stomach is churning with nausea and your legs weigh 400 pounds apiece and you're wondering seriously about your own sanity, won­ dering why in the name of exhaustion you ever answered the starter's gun...well, you run until all of this happens...and then you run some more.

Tennis Boycott Quite a flap erupted at this year's Wimbledon ten­ nis tournament when male tennis stars voted to boy­ cott the famed event because tournament officials banned a Yugoslav player who had the sympathy of the players. Tennis pros are now or­ ganized into professional groups, thus are able to throw some weight around. And in the case of the play­ er banned at Wimbledon^ Foreman, interestingly, flew(to London to watch the fignt. The champ hadn't been expected. His surprise ap­ pearance hints he knows he must give the ex-champ a return bout in the name of fairness. Frazier may not be as po­ tent as he was. But the Lon­ don win shows he is a top contender. And one contin­ ues to suspect he will be a different man in his second go with Foreman. The ex-champ told Lon­ don reporters nothing will stop him from recapturing the title Bugner didn't.

Nevertheless, the main point is that tournament of­ ficials should be allowed to run their tournaments. The players, many of whom now profit handsomely from lu­ crative meets, cannot at­ tempt to decide on the many individual problems which arise at each tennis tourna­ ment throughout the world. Baseball players have re­ cently damaged their game's image by striking and threat­ ening to strike and now come tennis players with their re­ fusal to play. Sports fans in general think these pro­ fessional athletes live a wonderful, lucrative life. Too much wielding of or­ ganized power, too many strikes and use of union­ like tactics, will almost certainly dim their glow in the eyes of the average fan. It is difficult for anyone to talk about himself without 1. repeating 2. enlarging, or 3. improvising. s^r°h BRUSH QMS w IIAIIU Mil HOUSE PAUfT ..vltttT J® N. HARDWARE SS
