> PLAlNbfcALER-WEPNESPAY, OCTOBER 30. 1>74 fAliK • A HOLE BIG ENOUGH The angle of the camera shows the importance of the superior blocking of the McHenry offensive line. The play is just beginning to develop and the line is doing its job in opening the way for the backfield runner coming through. Identifiable McHenry Warriors (white) are: Dan Voight (72), Steve Lane (42), Steve Kaspryzk (14), John Dix (82), George Hansen (22), Neal Barry (66), Roger Gerstad (62), and Kerry Jernigan, (51). EARL WALSH So I Hear SPORTS EDITOR. When we learned that our long time friend, Harold "Pat" Owen, was going back to his Alma Mater at Champaign for the 50th anniversary of Red Grange's famous day on the gridiron against Michigan, we told him how we would like a rpDort on the trip. Here it is: "Dear Earl: "It is odd the way things come about. It was either the last, or next to the last Cub game that Jack Brickhouse broadcast that he announced that he had gotten word that on October 18th there was going to be a 50th anniversary dinner to commemorate the Golden Anniversary of Red Grange's fantastic victory over Michigan in 1924. It so happened that I was at that historic game, and Jack Brickhouse's an­ nouncement of it was the first I had heard about it. I got the wheels in motion and learned ^here I could get the banquet tickets honoring the great Redhead. These I procured and then arranged with my grand­ son, Ron Ahlberg, who is a For Someone New ELECT James M. O'Laughlin McHenry County Board DISTRICT No. 2 DEMOCRAT Paid Pol Adv. By Candidate freshmen at DeKalb, to drive me to Champaign for that weekend. "Well, now Ron and I are back from that great weekend. The dinner for Red was magnificent. I believe that I neglected to mention that that Michigan-Illinois game also dedicated the Memoria] Stadium at the U. of I. so to be there on its 50th birthday was a double-barreled occasion. You can imagine the excitement when on that day Grange, the Galloping Ghost^ or the Wheaton Iceman^an four touchdowns against the highly acclaimed Michigan. This made football history as it had never been made before or since. "Well,, we were there for the Redhead's Golden Anniversary celebration. Also present was my 1918 classmate and fellow Civil Engineer, George Halas, now a trim 79-year old veteran. He, Jack Brickhouse and Grange all made excellent talks. It was an evening to always be remembered. "On the following day was the Illini game against * •••••••••••••••••••••••••A-** t'G' AS YOU LIKE IT!

It ended in a 21 to 21 tie, and several times during the game I bellered out, "Put the Redhead in. He can do it better". "So, Earl, it was a beautifully nostalgic weekend for this old guy. As an aside, when as the game was about to begin, Red Grange came out on the field, I bawled like a freshman, hoping none would see me. "Earl, I wanted you to get a small vignette of what this past weekend meant to me I will bring yotf one of the banquet programs just as soon as Ron mails me one from DeKalb- maybe today. "Sincerely, > "Pat" I think "Pat", the records show that Grange scored four touchdowns in the first twelve minutes of the game, then added a fifth before the game ended. You knew it - just a slip of the typewriter key. "Red" Winkel saw the game in 1924 and never got over the thrill of those long runs. We saw Grange in his first game for the Illini. It was on the old field against a husky Nebraska team. Grange, a sophomore, didn't start that game. Things weren't going so good so Coach Zupke but "The Galloping Ghost" in for 39 minutes and three touchdowns. So great was the "Ghost" that his name was blazoned Menomonie, Wis.--One of the 21 members of UW-Stout's 1974-75 Pom Pon Squ^i is Beverly C'helini, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ben C'helini, 902 N.

We now have the program which we will share with our~€riend Winkel and anyone who would like to read it. Had a real good time at the Business and Professional Women's Club dinner last week where the speaker of the evening, State Secretary Michael Howlett, wowed the audience. Alida Wirtz came through like a real pro in introducing Mike. Mike quipped that it was the finest introduction he had ever had -- except for one time when the MC was absent and he introduced himself. Mike was there as an officer holder, not as a candidate for office so his talk didn't have to take on the political aspect. Mary Ann Wegener, with Mary Ann Sharp ac­ companying, warbled a couple of numbers in her own sweet way -- then pleased Mike with an Irish song. (Do you know who else was pleased?) Now comes Rosalie Doherty with an article "Toupee or Not Toupee." It is a rib tickler about bald headed men. We suppose she meant it for us! Must read it again. Local football fans will be out in great numbers Friday night when the Zion-Benton team trots onto McCracken Field to do battle with the Warriors. That should be a game of games. Dick (Sidelines) Rabbitt sends us this note: "Winner of Zion game should get a State playoff. Don't miss it." We'll be there, Dick. Save space in the coop. Guess we knew it was going to happen. But, we are never ready to see a good friend taken from our mist. We won't be getting any more of those calls from Mary Etten. We hope they locate her near a ball park up there. Maybe a White Sox affiliate. That would be heaven for Mary. Mary loved life, baseball, a good book and, most of all, her family. How proud she was of her grandchildren.

ROliTt 1*U - McH£NK Y, ILL. 60050 8t5-3«S-f720 ?? Warriors Blank Cardunals 21-0 by Dick Rabbitt For the second consecutive week and the third time this season, Coach Bill Day's McHenry "Warriors" shut out an opponent. Friday night the Dundee Cardunals were the latest victim 21 to 0. By virtue of this shutout the Warriors take the lead in the defensive standings in the North Suburban with a total of 59 pts scored against them. The Warriors lost the toss and kicked off to the Cards. Tony Bentz boomed a soaring kickoff deep in Card territory and they returned it to the 9. On the first play Danny Voight pounced on a Dundee fumble at the line of scrimmage and the Warriors took possession. Three plays later George Hansen raced 10 yds into paydirt for the first of his three touchdowns, and with Steve Whitehead's P.A.T. good the Warriors led 7 to 0 at 9:43 of the opening period. Again Bentz boomed a kick deep in Cardunal territory, and the Cards took over on the 26. Three incomplete passes, forced them to punt to the Warrior 34. After Hansen scooted 11 yds for a first down, the Warriors were guilty of 2 delay of game penalties, and were forced to punt to the Dundee 21. Again the Warriors held and the Cards punted to the Warrior 44. Then the Warriors began a march with complete ball control, (which is the makings of a good solid football team). Hansen ran to the Card's 36. Kaspryzk hit Whitehead with a pass good for 9 yds. to the Dundee 27. Kaspryzk on a sneak got 5 to the 22. Klap- perich on a reverse raced to the Dundee 7. With Hansen carrying in two plays the Warriors were again on the scoreboard and Whitehead's kick again was good. The Warriors led with 39 seconds remainng in the period 14 to 0. The kickoff again was deep, and an added Card clipping penalty set Dundee back on friend. Much better to say that among our blessings on this earth was knowing Mary Etten as a true friend. The ranks are thinning. When the Old Vets assemble for the November llth Veterans' Day, Gene Kane won't be with them. After a long illness, Gene finally passed away. We haven't known him so many years, but in our book Gene Kane will be marked down as one of the finest gentlemen ever to come to McHenry. their own 15 as the period en­ ded.' THE SHOTGUN At the beginning of the second period the Dundee eleven went into a shotgun formation (this is a spread formation and in modern football when you resort to this type of an offense you are in real trouble). Neither team could generate any type of an offense during the second period, The Cards tried everything in the book, but it was a futile attempt on their part, and had many of the fans wondering just what they were trying to do to score. On the other hand the Warriors with a 14 point lead, tried to make every play a touchdown, and missed assignments and penalties stopped them from any long scoring drive. After Coach Day regrouped his charges and spoke some words of wisdom to them at halftime, the Warriors were ready for battle in the second half. An onside kick by the Cards failed and the Warriors took over at midfield. Hansen raced 25 yds, and only because he lost his balance, prevented him from going all the way. Seconds later Dundee recovered a McHenry fumble on the 15, but after the Cards second first down of the night, they returned the fumble to the Warriors on their own 35. Then with a neat bit of running Hansen ran and dodged Card tacklers and raced 35 yds for his third T.D. of the evening. Whitehead's kick again was good and the Warriors led 21 to 0 with 7:14 remaining in the third period. The remainder of the period saw both the Cards and Warriors exchanging punts and the Warriors started the final 12 minutes on their own 40. Early in the final period John Dix recovered a Dundee fumble on the 47, but the Warriors could not take advantage of the break and were forced to punt. OFFICIALS GOOF? On the second play Kaspryzk pass interception was nullified by the officials. (They later apologized for their error) and Dundee with a bit of razzle- dazzle managed to get to the Warriors 23. Three plays later the Warriors recovered a Dundee fumble in the end zone. With time running out the Cards blocked a Warrior punt on the Warrior 5. The defense vowing that the Cards wouldn't score, did their part and put on a great goal line defense, and the game ended with the ball on the Warrior nine yard line. The Warriors to a man were impressed with the Card's ability to hit. It was probably the toughest game in a physical WINTER VACATION? you CAN HAVE ONE!

McHENRY,. way for the Warriors to date. Dundee had a big aggressive defensive line, and at times they looked great. On the other hand the Warriors were not as sharp as they have been in previous games. I think they were looking ahead for the big game next Friday night with Zion. Dundee gained only 41 yds on the ground and 87 passing for 128 yds. In talking with Coach Bill Day he commented on several items. He felt that Spain Field is somewhat of a jinx to the Warriors as far as penalties go. Against Crown they were penalized 110 yds and Friday night they were assessed 97 yds. In their two previous games they were penalized a total of 25 yds in the two games. He, too, claimed that Dundee was a physical team. I'll agree, the hitting was heard up in the stands, but the Warriors came out of the game in good shape, and are awaiting the ZeeBees this Friday night at McCracken Field. If you are any kind of a high school football fan, you'll turn off the "boob tube" Friday night and come to the game and see football at its best. WARRIOR STATS Rushing: Hansen 149 in 22 carries; Klapperich 20 yds in 4 carries; Lane 22 yds in 7 carries Passing. Kaspryzk 3 for 11 good for 27 yds Warriors had 189 yds rushing and 27 passing good for 213 yds. TOMASELLO'S T N T LEAGUE OCTOBER 24, 1974 D. Hiller 160, 195 - 501; B. Segermark 176, 168 - 470; K.
