5 PAC.B K - PLAINDEALKIl - WEDNESDAY. M UK II 13. I»74 EARL WALSH So I Hear Just like going to church we work a word puzzle every Sunday. We get five out of six in a breeze. It's that sixth one that gives us fits. v SPORTS EDITOR It is nice to hear from Ethel Bell Hunter that she enjoys S.I.H. Some people brighten our day. Before we have all of our St. Patrick's Day cards picked out the stores are displaying Easter cards. This country gets in a hurry. After watching Bill Walton of U.C.L.A. Clobber Southern Cal's basketball team Saturday night, we think some pro team will have to tap the U.S. Mint to sign him. Seems most oldsters think young sprouts act too smart for their age. It's sometimes a blow to learn that a lot of young kids ARE smart. We wouldn't touch those streakers with a ten foot pole, but would like to. At this writing our White Sox are not doing so good in spring training games. Some say those games don't mean a thing. Maybe not, but we want to win 'em all. We hope they can put it all together before certain people start calling. What next when we give the gate to Watergate? The Antioch basketball team won the regional tournament played here last week and moves to Rockford for the sectional meet. Grant High's Bruce Kemenetz scored 25 points against the Warriors, then gathered a mere 5 points against Antioch. It seems you have to smother the big scorer on a team if you are going to win. Come to think of it, we don't care if the birds never come back. They showed no respect for our car (parked in the driveway) last summer. One thing you can say for salt on the highways, it cuts down speeding after the snow has gone. Robins are back, honking geese are flying north and the rhubarb is coming through in our back yard. If you don't think that is a sign of spring, go fly a kite. Sports writers report the Cubs as one happy family this year. t Coast Guard * • News j AHOY SCOUT MASTERS - YOUTH LEADERS The U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary across America has taken on a special mission called "Project One Million" meaning that this season the Auxiliary has set a goal to teach one million scouts and other youths boating safety in a one lesson course. "Seamanship, aids , to navigation, rules of the road, legal and safety requirements are just a few of the subjects covered," states Mr. E. Kaiser of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary. Color movies, slides and boating literature will be used in this free course. It is almost impossible for the Auxiliary to reach all the scout troop6 and youth groups. If you have youth groups in your area that can unite for this special project, please contact Mrs. Emma Kaiser at (815) 653-5046. Boating safety education is the basic cornerstone of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, and, since each youth is a potential boater, it is highly beneficial to them and the adults they come in contact with that they be made aware of the hazards and regulations as wel| as the pleasures of boating. The U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary "Project One Million" Certificate signed by the National Commodore will be awarded to those who participate. 7 MCHENRY TEACHERS BOWLING LEAGUE 3-6-74 Flunkies 36»/2-27Vfe 35,918 Jetset 35-29 35,611 Wrecks 34-30 35,811 The Group 31-33 35,468 Undiscovered 29-35 35,602 Hotshots 261/2-341/2 . 35,796 Those Jetsetters keep rollin' along.

The warm weather we have been having sure has taken care of any snow that we had, but there is always the chance of one more snow big enough for a few miles of riding. Even though the snows have stopped your local clubs still keep working away at promoting snowmobiling in the area. One big thing that the Harmony club is working on is another safety course to be given in April to club member's children and other area children if the class isn't full. This course will be given by our State Representative Ed Kaska, who has been attending all state meetings and safety courses possible and is now qualified to teach the safety courses. Do watch this column for dates and place. Keep dreaming snow. We've had a good year and there are more good years to come. Harmony Pub. Outlying Districts It is no wonder that in his race for political office he won the out­ lying districts. After all, he was out lying in them all. Report on Basketball Editor's Note: With McHenry's Tim Althoff playing on the Bradley University Basketball team and other local students attending the school, we sought this report: Peoria's emotion-emoters, sometimes referred to as Bradley's basketball Braves, have completed their regular schedule and are now waiting to see the pairings in the new Collegiate Commisionsers' association tournament set to start March 14 in the arena in St. Louis. Bradley, picked to finish sixth in the Missouri Valley Conference, came out a clean second behind a heavily talented Louisville. But it wasn't any ho-hum race by any stretch of anything. The Braves, coached by the hottest prospect for national coach-of-the-year honors in many a season, finished at 19-7 over-all and showed that talent alone sometimes just wasn't enough. Coach Joe Stowell's crew, enroute to winning the whole­ hearted support of the area fans-recognized as some of the most knowledgeable and critical in the country-did it with a team effort and fell into second in the MVC after one of the most spectacular games ever witnessed in the 25-year old Robertson Memorial field house.

Now the Braves, with an all- American candidate in 6-6 senior Seymour Reed, who for his varsity career is best known for his defensive ability, are waiting for the pairings for the new CCA gathering. Asked if the team might get a day or two off, Stowell replied, "They had it Sunday. Now we're going to work for the CCA and see what we can find out about some of the teams which might be there. They'll all be good ones, and we'll just have to be ready and continue to play hard. "Most of the other leagues involved are still playing to find out who they will send there." Talking about the overtime loss to Louisville where a win would have meant a share of the title for Bradley for the first time since 1962 and then a playoff on a neutral court to see which team goes to which tournament, Stowell said, "Yeah, we made a few mistakes in the last seconds of the overtime and took some shots we shouldn't have, but it's m Boys, it's later than you think. Rob Mortell is shown above pitching to Mike Sabatka in preparation for the opening of the 1974 McHenry Junior Youth League's Season.

We gave Louisville a heck of a game, and, remember, we came back from 11 down in the first half to tie and from eight down in the second. "Louisville just had to play a super game and it did. Then too, the only league game they lost was when they were without (Wes) Cox, and they had everybody ready for us." Later he was to add, "We have to look ahead. The community and the campus fans love this team because it plays like one and has beaten a lot of teams which had much better physical and more talented personnel. I just want to keep it up." So Bradley, with a sophomore-6-5 center Greg Smith-as its leading scorer with an 18.7 average ahead of Reed's 16.3 clip, is getting ready for more basketball action. Two other Braves are averaging in double figures with 6-0 soph Jim Caruthers carrying a 13.4 rating and 6-9 junior Mark Dohner at 11.7. It was Caruthers. with a corner shot and nine seconds showing, who sent the Louisville game into that overtime period. He finished with 18 points that game. Tom Les is the other starter and the 5-10 junior has a 3.2 average while from the bench corps comes 6-3 senior Mike Harrell at 8.3, and 6-1 seniors Dave Klobucher at 5.2 and Doug Shank at an even 4.0. In other post-season play, Bradley is 9-3 in NCAA and last there in 1955, 16-11 in NIT play and a 1968 game. Bradley is 2-1 in both a Hawaiian meet in 1951 and in its own NCBT that same year. That's a 29=16 over all mark. The Portland, Oregon, zoo has been home to over half of the dozen or so elephants ever born in captivity.

Antioch Defeats Grant 68-55 For Regional Title nug cMcLxboz ANOTHER FIRST TO McHENRY £/2tOX ditizzn'i cM^znu- & By Dick Rabbitt The Antioch Sequoits won the* McHenry Regional by defeating Grant last Friday night by the score of 68 to 55. The win puts the Sequoits in the Rockford Sectional next week against Rockford Guilford. Coach John Schad of Grant switched from his normal man to man defense into a zone against Antioch and this bit of strategy backfired. During the opening period, Vic McGuire of the Sequoits hit 7 out of 7 from the field over the zone and Antioch was off and running to a 22 to 9 first quarter lead. Changing back to the man to man didn't seem to accomplish the task for Grant, as the Sequoits, although slowed down a bit managed to increase their margin to a comfortable 32 to 15 halftime lead. Early in the third period, the Grant full court press began to bother the Sequoits, and with Kirk Hamsher's three quick buckets, closed the gap to 35 to 23 with 6 minutes remaining in the period. But Albano and Perone soon put the Antioch five back up to a comfortable 17 point lead, going into the final period. In the final quarter each team scored 20 points, with both coaches going to the bench midway during the period. It was just a case of too many horses for Antioch. They have a nice, well balanced team. Mark Andrews, son of the Antioch coach, did an excellent job of defensing Bruce Kemenetz, Grant's high scoring forward. Kemenetz picked up 5 points for the evening. This Antioch team could go places in the Sectional. The competition in Rockford is not as keen as it' has been in previous years. With a little bit of luck, this fine team could be playing in Champaign in a couple of weeks.
