PAGE 8 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY. APRIL 3, 1974 "EARL WALSH So I Hear SPORTS EDITORJ Back in the saddle. After a 10 day vacation, the longest we have ever taken, it is time to get with it. Flying from cold and snow to 80 degree weather in a few hours makes a fellow dig out his light underwear. Alvina picked Sarasota as the city to visit. Of all the surprises! Got down there and found out that is where the White Sox are in training. (That's the way we tell it). Discovered a CUB POWER badge in our belongings, but didn't see the Cub cap until it was time to unpack. Must warn our wife not to mingle with certain people. Visited the Old Heidelberg Castle one evening and were ushered to a table just inches from LeRoy and Arlene Hettermann of Arlington, Va. LeRoy grew up in Johnsburg and is Alvina's first cousin. He was a pilot for Uncle Sam, then took to the friendly skies for United. With the Hettermanns was a sociable couple, John and Ann Tankait. With that German band and gay dancing at 01 Heidelberg, it was about like Bimbo's for visiting. Friends and former Chicago neighbors of our sister Catherine and brother-in-law George Miller (Main Street) really made our trip pleasurable. George and "Les" Kelly now make their home in Sarasota. George Kelly watches all the Sox ball games while Les (Miss Chamber of Commerce) watches Sarasota. She knows that city from one end to the other and was very gracious in showing us the sights. Saw one weather forecast all under one roof . . . one stop fast food service! *Mr. Donut V3 Donuts * McNeils Fried Chicken :*¥ ' • * McNeils r Hamburgers Delicious and inexpensive dinners, sandwiches and snacks ... all yours when you stop at McNeils / Mr. Donut next to the Hornsby Family Centers in Woodstock and McHenry. next to the HORNSBY FAMILY CENTERS Rt. 47 & Country In the McHenry Club Road, Market Place, Woodstock McHenry ATHLETES AWAY that predicted 80 degrees plus temperature and "No Snow". Went to church on Sunday morning and knew we were in the right place when a Missionary asked us to be generous. Saw a gal at church that looked like our McHenry high classmate Bertha Schiessle Jensen. Looked enough like Bertha to be a sister if Bertha had a sister. Of course we saw some ball games. Never mind that the Sox didn't win 'em all. Looked up Terry Forster the first thing - our All-American choice. Without asking for it, Terry had several Soxers autograph a baseball for us to take home as a keepsake. The Kansas City Royals and Pittsburgh Pirates are strong teams and should be near the top in their respective leagues all season. They weren't kind to our Sox. The most complete ball player we saw was Ken Henderson. He can do it all. Always thought his injury last year was the hardest blow of all to Sox chances. Watching a game one day brought back memories of times when the House of David and Colored Giants baseball teams invaded small towns and attracted crowds from miles around. Times have changed. Must thank Girl Friday Marie for putting the sport page together in our absence. Of course, you read Walt Freund's baseball columns. We think they were great. Sort of a hard act for us to follow. We'll have to try a little harder. 'Twas a nice vacation. The best part of it all was getting back to McHenry and our own home. PICKING UP THE PIECES - Walt Freund wrote three SWIM AWARD Twenty-three Western Illinois University athletes have been awarded varsity letters for their participation in swimming and wrestling for the 1973-74 season. Among the swimmers was Rick Swanson, a sophomore, of McHenry. Wonder Lake Boys' Baseball Registration for Wonder Lake Boys Baseball will be held on Saturday, April 6, from 10:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. at the firehouse on the east side of Wonder Lake.

MCHS Track Outlook Bright This Spring By Dick Rabbitt Coach Wally Scott McHenry high track coach is walking around with a smile on his face. The reason, for the first time in columns for us while we soaked up Florida sunshine and helped the White Sox. One of those columns (about the Cubs) was not credited to Walt. „ So - Marie reports that Mike Brown came in to see if "S.I.H." had flipped his lid. Hope you read the story about the WJJD ALL-STARS VS. the McHenry Viscount team (old and young). Game will be played on Friday night of this week in the McHenry Junior High gym at 8 p.m. They plan some real fun and 'entertainment and want you to be there whether you are a sport's fan or not. 3 liBSSSISI&SSBiESB BV THE OLD TIMER From Herman Scherf, St. Elmo, IIL: I remember, way back, I started plowing with ? 14" walk­ ing plow. Later my father got a 2-14" bottom plow with which we used four horses. Boy, we were getting up in the world. My folks sold eggs for 12 and 154 a dozen. Father sold hogs for $3.00 p«r hundred. Compare with prices today! In the winter, we were not so busy, so I got a job in a printing shop at 50$ per day. In six months I was due a raise to 60(, but I went back on the farm. Everything was done by hand. This column would not hold all the things I could tell about those good old days. But, from my time with a walking plow to now -- with a 4-bottom all tubber trac­ tor, with closed cab, I could plow with a white shirt on and not get it dirty. I remember I slept in an old log house. Mother washed on a washboard, carried water five or six hundred feet. She made her own washing soap. From Ruth Ann Clark, Meta- mora, HI.: I remember when I was quite young, the cold house in winter, warmed by the crack­ ling wood fire of sassafras and oak wood. Winter treats were hot cocoa simmered on the stove, snow cream made from clean snow. We sat around the fire, listening to my dad tell stories of different things. Sister and I baked sweet potatoes in the wood stove. How nice they browned, how puffy inside. (Sand contributions to (hit column to The Old Timor, Box 639, Frankfort, Ky. 40*01.) SOMETHING SPECIAL!!

Governor Walker has declared the dates of August 4-8 as "Cheerleaders' Week" in Illinois.

During the dates above, hundreds of junior and senior high school cheerleaders will have the opportunity to attend the 8th annual summer clinic and spirit school held by the ICF on the campus of the University of Illinois, Champaign. There, special historical observances will be held to pay honor to cheerleading, an activity founded inn 1898-99 at the University of Minnesota. "Our cheerleaders guide America's millions of high School and college students in die morale support of school sports, " explains the Governor in his statement. "I urge all Illinois citizens to join me during Cheerleaders' Week in recognizing the merits of the cheerleaders' tasks and accomplishments." Today, there are more than 500,000 students involved in this activity among America's 35,000 schools and colleges.

The weather this spring has put a damper on practice, but one consolation is that this will be the last spring that the golfers will have to worry about the weather. Starting next fall, the I.H.S.A. has approved golf as a fall sport. Availability of golf courses in the spring has been a major concern for the past several years. With the courses in better shape, and with nice fall weather, high school golf should get a big boost starting next fall. Last year's number one golfer Chuck Jesky along with 33 other boys are out for Coach Cuda's team this year.
