PAGE C - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1973 jps* P.. '** x ON TARGET - The over the shoulder catch is a beauty that is good for 43 yards as Roger Mroz hangs on to the Staley aerial. Prior to this play, Mroz intercepted a Tiger pass to give the Warriors possession of the ball, stopping a Tiger drive. McHenry spoiled Crystal Lake's Homecoming by a 15-13 score. (STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD) ( > •y$ mm Just reading the travel section of the Sunday paper and this headline hit our eyes: "It's Time To Plan A Cruise." Sounds good, but there aren't so many boats on Fox River at this time of year. The following note hit our desk: "Starting on Thursday 10-18 at 7:30 PM the Thursday Nite Club Volley Ball will begin for another season. It is open to anyone who has completed high school and is held at McHenry High School East Campus. Hope to have a good turn out and John McGee said he is coming back for another year." That Club must be one of the oldest and most popular in McHenry. They have fun --- and exercise. Sports results this Sunday are not so good for some. What happened to the Illini? What happened to the Bears? Nothing new. But, there is good news on the local scene. Just read Dick Rabbitt's report on the Warrior victory over the Crystal Lake Tigers football team. Coach Bill Day's boys didn't put up much of a game here the week before. The thoughts of it must have stung the team and EARL WALSH So I Hear SPORTS EDITORJ fired them up for the game with the favored Tigers. We give credit to a team that- can come back and show their mettle. Now comes the game here Friday night with the Barrington Bronco leaders. We can beat 'em! There were a flock of upsets last weekend. Dick's crystal ball must be mighty foggy. Watch for him to tell us about it. He did predict a Warrior victory so that should save him Walt Freund hopes the baseball playoffs and World Series can finish before the snow falls. Many sports fans think seasons are too long and overlap too much. Cub fans think their season should have ended last Julv. Here's good Fire Prevention Week advice from the McHenry Township Fire department: Don't rely on Lady Luck in place of good babysitter. Children left alone at home might be trapped and helpless if fire or some other emergency . should strike.

The Warriors putting on a great exhibition of football, simply outhustled. outfought and outscored the heavier Crystal Lake squad. What a reversal in form from the previous game against Lake Forest. The Warriors came to play, and about the only word that can describe their play is TREMENDOUS. They blocked, they tackled, they opened up holes, they knocked down Tiger passes, they covered punts and kickoffs. The black shirted Warriors were all over Metcalf Field on Saturday afternoon. There were many heroes for the Warriors. The defense was great. Time and time again they held the Tigers in check. It was only a questionable penalty in the closing minutes that kept the Tiger drive going for their second score. They kept close tabs on Osmun and Wetterman, the Tiger's two fine running backs. Osmun did manage to scamper 63 yds for a first quarter touchdown, but after this run, both he and Wet­ terman were kept pretty much in check the rest of the af­ ternoon. RICK FREUND GREAT The Warrior offense was no slouch either. They picked up 216 yds on the ground, and another 63 in the air. If we have to single out an outstanding performer for the Warriors, the nod must go to Rick Freund. This husky senior fullback picked up 113 yds in 18 carries, caught a pass for 20 yds, and threw another for 13 yds for a total of 146 yds for the day. Rick also playing linebacker, was in on numerous tackles. It was by Jjusthe greatest day he has had as a Warrior. The Warriors kicked off to ' the Tigers 32. A 15 yd penalty (the Warriors had 7 of them throughout the game) put the ball on the 47. The Tigers marched to the Warrior's 30 where they held. Forced to punt after three plays the Tigers again started a march, but were forced to punt when the Warriors held. Twice the Warriors held the Tigers within the 30 yd line. Finally with 1:27 remaining in the quarter, Osmun broke loose, and shook off three tacklers and ran 63 yds to paydirt. Sigmund's kick was good and Crystal Lake led 7 to 0. In the second quarter the Tigers started the march again. Wetterman broke loose for 25 yds to the Warrior 35. Sigmund's pass to Sexton was good on the 8. Then the Warrior defense rose to the occasion. They dug in and on 4th down Sigmund's field goal attempt was wide, took over on the 20. Freund picked up 5 five yards. On the next play Ev Klapperich broke off tackle and raced 75 yds for the touchdown. The McHenry speedster put plenty of daylight between him and the Tiger defenders on this run. Rick Freund's two point con­ version put the Warriors ahead 8 to 7. MROZINTERCEPTS Again the Tigers began to march toward the Warrior goal. But Roger Mroz fine in­ terception on the 23 stopped th'e threat. Staley hit Mroz on a pass which was good for 43 yds, ajid with a bit of fancy passing he hit Freund for 20 more yards as the half fended. During the early stages of the third quarter both teams fumbled twice. Holding the Tigers again, they were forced to punt midway during the period. George Hansen took the punt on his own 5 and with a wall of blockers forming down the east sidelines ran it all the way back for the T.D. However, a clipping penalty back on the Warrior 25 nullified this fine run. However, a first down and pass interference penalty on the Tigers gave the Warriors a first down on the 48. The drive was stopped when the Warriors fumbled again. The Warriors held and Crystal Lake punted to the Warrior 17 as the quarter ended. Then the Warriors began an 83 yd march. With Freund picking up 45 yds in one attempt, and Klapperich and Dulberg carrying, they had a 1st down on the Tiger 12. Dulberg went to the 9, and Freund carried to the 1. Staley failed on a sneak, and then Freund took it over with 6:32 remaining. Whitehead's kick was good and the Warriors led 15 to 7. Warriors kicked off to the 34 and a 15 yd penalty against the Tigers put them back on the 19. The Tigers began a drive of their own. and with the aid of two Warr;or penalties put the ball on the Warrior 29. Wet­ terman went to the 19. Osmun got 9 yds to the 10, and then picked up 5 more. Wetterman went over from the 5 with 1:12 remaining in the game. After the kickoff the Warriors ran out the clock for the 15 to 13 win. COACH DAY PLEASED It was a most pleasing vic­ tory for Coach Day. It was his first win against Bill Mack, Tiger coach, in 5 tries. In talking with Coach Day after the game he had nothing but praise for his Warrior squad. "They came back and played the way they are capable of playing", he commented. It was a great victory for the Warriors. Next week Barrington comes to Mc- Cracken Field. After their upset loss Saturday to Mun- delein 20 to 0, you can bet that the Warriors will again have to be at their best. They can do it. Mundelein can handle the Broncos, so can the Warriors. Let's plan on being at Mc- Cracken Field Friday night and supporting the Warriors against Barrington. The sophomores lost 20-14.

In view of the fact that his is the strongest meet in the state, the Warriors did a com­ mendable job. They defeated such powers as Champaign. East St. Louis, Quincy, Dan­ ville, and East Peoria. As has been the custom the past several years, York of Elmhurst again won the meet with a total of 56 pts.

Rick Freund was no friend of Tiger fans Saturday as he rushed for 113 yards in 18 carries. In top photo the Tigers pile on top of each other in an attempt to bring Rick Down. Freund breaks loose and is on his way to a 45 yard gain that set the stage for the second Warrior TD. Rick also caught 1 pass for 20 yards and threw another for 13 yards to deprive Crystal Lake a homecoming win.

Elizabeth Lome Wins High-Point Championship ELIZABETH LORNE of Crystal Lake, walked away with the High-Point Cham­ pionship awarded at the Capricorn Farm Horse Show held in Crystal Lake on Saturday, September 29th. This extremely capable young lady rode her pony, Scampers Bandit, to the winner's circle in 4 classes. Miss Lorne also placed in 3 other classes which helped her earn the points necessary to be the "best of the day". Scampers Bandit has been solely trained by her young owner and proved that they have the ability to com­ pete with horses of top calibre in any Hunter Division. Elizabeth certainly earned the trophy which was awarded her. All of the riders should be commended who competed under such adverse conditions as the day's weather provided. Horses and riders were "up to their hocks" in mud due to the rains which continually fell throughout the day. Much credit has to be given all of these-true sportsmen who exhibited. Even the children entered in the Lead Line Class for riders 8 yrs. of age and under hi smiles on their faces as they proudly showed their mounts. The winner of this class, Greg Buskness of Crystal Lake was grinning from "ear to ear." It was a pleasure to see the fine attitudes these youngsters had under such trying cir­ cumstances. For many this was the first horse show they were ever in. Capricorn Farm, 7407 W. Crystal Springs Rd., Crystal X,ake, 111. has 2 more horse shows planned for October. On October 20 there will be a H u n t e r - J u m p e r F a l l Schooling Show and on October 27 there will be an Open English and Western Show.
