Win Conference Crown By Dick Rabbitt The Zion Benton Zee Bees von the North Suburban Tonference football cham- )ionship Saturday by defeating he McHenry Warriors 14 to 6. rhe championship did not come sasy, as the Warriors gave the Sion eleven all^hey could landle. The Warriors a two to three touchdown underdog could not capitalize on the numerous breaks that went their way Saturday, and as a result went down to a hard fought 14 to 6 defeat. « The Zee Bees kicked off to the ^Warrior 27. Four plays later Tommy Ludwig punted to the Z.B. 37. On the first play Scott Roe, Zion's fine halfback, raced 50 yards off tackle to the Warrior 17. Six plays later Roe scooted in from the seven on 4th down for the initial touchdown of the game. His kick was good and the Warriors trailed 7 to 0 at 7:51 of the first period. Howie Useman returned the Zion kickoff to the Warrior 39. On an end around pass, Billy Hurckes threw to Brett Decker good for a first down on the Z.B. 32. With Don Rode and Tom Ludwig carrying the mail the Warriors made two first downs and the Warriors had the ball on the Z.B. 9. On third and 6, a Warrior pass was intercepted on the 4. Two first downs later the ZeeBees had the ball on the 25. A penalty against the Z.B.'s put the ball back on the 19 as the quarter ended. Paul O'Malley then blocked a Z.B. punt and the Warriors took over on the Z.B. 19. Once again an interception stopped the drive as Brian Nuss's halfback pass was picked off on the Z.B. three yard line. The Warrior defense held on the 7 and forced a punt to the Z.B. 45 (Stockton the Z.B. kicker got off a good kick against a strong wind). jThe Z.B.'s again held and Ludwig punted to the 10. Moments later Bob Breckel recovered a Z.B. fumble on the 42. Again the Z.B.'s defense was alert, and intercepted their third and final pass of the af ternoon on their own 27. A roughing the passer penalty against the Warriors put the ball at midfield. Jeff Damiani picked off a Z.B. pass on the Warrior 40. With 4th down and 2 the Warriors gambled and won for a change. A .pass in terference gave the Warriors the ball on the Z.B. 40. Another penalty against the Z.B.'s put the ball down on the 30, but time ran out as the Warriors were again knocking at the A.B. door as they were on the 16 as the half ended. WARRIORS DOMINATE PLAY Outside of the first series of downs that the Z.B.'s had the ball the Warriors dominated the play. The Warrior defense actually had to sit out most of the first half, as the offense took the game to the Zee Bee's. The third quarter was much of the same as the two previous periods. The Warriors kicked off and then held the Zee Bees. The Z.B.'s held likewise, and Tommy Ludwig boomed a punt against the wind to the Z.B. 20. The Zion eleven then began a march that would find them in Clean your carpet faster and better with Steamex. 4 6 power jets get dirt the other methods don't reach!

With Roe doing most of the carrying, plus several Warrior penalties, the Z.B.'s were on the Warrior 3 yard line. Stockton on third and goal, faked a handoff, and kept the ball himself and rolled into the end zone for the T.D. Roe, one of the better kickers in the conference,, again split the'* uprights for the 14th point. This touchdown came with 1:48 remaining in the third period. After the Warriors brought the kickoff back to the 39, quar terback Brian Miller went to work. A pass to Decker was good for a first down on the Z.B. 46 as the period ended. The final period was a wild one, and no one left the stands to go home. The Zee Bees setting on a 14 to 0 lead threw caution to the wind. It almost backfired as the Warriors came roaring back. After the Warriors with Useman running and the catching of Steve Mai put the ball deep in Z.B. territory. Then Jeff Leach picked off a Warrior fumble in midair and rambled 85 yds. for a touchdown only to have it called back because of clipping (a linesman dream was shattered in just a few seconds). The ball now back on the Z.B. 15, the Warriors held on the eleven and forced a punt to Rode who returned it to the Z.B. 37. Among a flock of defenders Steve Mai picked off Miller's pass for a first down on the 25. Howie Useman with a good second effort picked up 9 to the 16. Steve Mai on another fine catch was knocked out of bounds on the one foot line. Tommy Ludwig then carried in for the T.D. Rode's catch in the end zone was ruled no good by the official, and the Warriors trailed 14 to 6 with 6:31 left in the game. The Warriors kicked off on a ANOTHER WEEK OF SPECIALS!!!

DUMB CALL Stockton the Z.B. quar terback called for a pass with 4:31 left in the game and leading only 14 to 6. You guessed it, Jeff Damiani again picked off a Stockton pass on the Warrior 39. On 4th and long yardage a screen pass just missed, and the Z.B.'s took over. With 1:30 remaining Roe's 46 yard field goal attempt just missed and the Warriors took over on the 20. Moving the ball to the Zion 35, time ran out on the Warriors, and the Z.B.'s were the con ference champions. The Warriors, however, could walk off the field with their heads held high. They dominated the conference champions. Failure to capitalize on breaks early in the game caused their down fall. There was 25 yards dif-. ference in the total yardage, favoring the Z.B.'s. McHenry's passing attack was good for 95 yards against the zero effort of the Zee Bees. I was impressed with the running of Howie Useman. This little fellow runs close to the ground and is hard to bring down. Another Warrior who should receive some mention is little Steve Mai. He caught passes in traffic all afternoon. If these two had the physical size that their hearts contain, Warrior opponents beware in the future. The Warriors played hurt, Bill Dodge an end and Tom Lundelius did not see action at all, and Brian Nuss was in for only a few plays. The Warriors played with great heart and desire. From those who attended I think they will agree with me if the Warriors could have capitalized on the breaks, they would have won three touch downs to two. The Zion eleven hosts Grant this afternoon at 1:30 p.m. in the first round of the playoff at Zion. Zion was my pick of the teams of the North Suburban, because of t^e raw deal they received last year. However they will have to play a lot better today than they did Saturday to down the Grant Bulldogs. It's a toss up, and I'll take the easy way out and leave it that way. * * * * Worry is the most over worked part of some peo- , pie's make-up.

Suppose he thought we hadn't heard the National League won the World Series and wanted to be sure to keep us posted. Met our long time friend Carl Behnke and found him looking as trim as a young athlete. Met a friendly lady who said, "We are newcomers, but with or without a hat I would know you." It must be the full face! The greeting was too short. Could have told the lady that one old hat is gone. Stopped in to see the gang at City Hall for old times sake and learned that Grace Blake's son was looking all over for a man's hat to wear with his Halloween costume. For that boy we parted with a hat we had learned to. „love over the years.

Our football Warriors lost a close enough game at Zion Saturday in their last con ference game of the season. Considering Zion's power, our boys did real well. In fact, those who saw the game said Coach Day's boys looked like real Warriors. It had to be John Looze who responded to our request to find the oldest buildings in McHenry. His report: : "It was where Earl was born - in a log cabin". Leo Heimer called. He and his sister, Annabel Aicher, got their heads together and decided on a couple of buildings in Old Town. The Math Engelin building, which Bimbos now own, is one of their choices. Our earliest remembrance of that building was when Joe Engeln ran a hardware store there.

Montini's flag football team finished its season undefeated by beating Big Hollow School 20-6 last Thursday, October 23rd. Running back, Tom Balchunas again led the scoring with twp touchdowns and an extra point. Mike Sharp scored the other touchdown by returning the opening kickoff for a touchdown. Quarterback, Tim Sabatka threw a touch down pass and added an extra point. The leading flag-getter was Dan Coughlin, who grabbed ten, the highest total for any Mustang this season. Dwight Schmitt followed with five. Other leading flag-getters were Mark Schiller, Jeff Musielak, and Scott Freund. The Mustang defense also picked off three interceptions, those by Sean Haley, Dwight Schmitt, and Ron Waytula. In achieving its unblemished 6-0 record, Montini outscored its opponents 211 to 59. Tom Balchumas was the leading scorer with 116 points and 18 touchdowns and 8 extra points. Sean Haley was the leading flag-getter with 27, and Ron Waytula led the team in in terceptions with 5.

It was the final West Suburban Catholic Conference game for both teams. The first half was a scoreless dual between the two teams, as both teams com mitted numerous turnovers in the initial two periods. After a friendly talk by Coach Parker, the "Canes" wasted no time getting on the scoreboard as John Conerty raced 53 yards into pay dirt. Wally Bitschura's kick was good and Marian led 7 to 0. Midway in the period the Spartans intercepted a Knox pass. Four plays later fullback Joe Beck rambled into the end zone from the three for the score. Beck again ran from the two yard line to make score 8 to 7 in favor of the Spartans. Going into the final period . fired up from the good crowd on hand the Marian eleven started to make their move. On their own 40 the "Canes" began to get down to business. A Knox to Conerty pass was good to the Spartan 5. On a roll out Knox scooted into the end zone for the touchdown. Conerty bulled his way for the P.A.T. and the "Canes" led 15 to 8. Later in the period the hard running Conerty raced 28 yds. for the final T.D. of the af ternoon. Bitschura's kick was good and the Hurricanes walked off the field a winner 22 to 8. Coach Parker was elated after the game on the fine showing of his team. He had praise for all his squad, who came back after last years dismal 0 and 9 record, liie 19 seniors who were members of that team can look back on the fine showing this season. Coach Parker also remarked "at one time or another in the last four games we trailed, but never gave up". Special mention should go to John Conerty who ran for 144 yards, and to the fine play of Dan Knox the quarterback. The defensive play of Bill and Mike Rankin should not go un noticed. Other defenders were Paul LeBlanc and John Orso. Others mentioned by Parker were, Paul Burg, Tony Balchunus, Jim Steinbach, Pat Walker, and his front four of Steve Pokorny, Larry Winkel, Shawn DeWayne and Conerty.

Fte. 120, McHenry By Dick Rabbitt The McHenry High school girls field hockey team won the sub-sectional championship Friday by defeating Woodstock 2 to 1. On a cold and windy afternoon the gals played as if it were midsummer. In the first half the McHenry team had the ball in the Woodstock end of the field most of the time. Finally at the 24 minute mark Denise Hughes with a flick of the wrist put the ball in the Woodstock net and the Warrior gals led 1 to 0. This lead stood up at the end of the first half. - - __ Midway in the final half Cheryl Novak shot a goal past Janet Whitney tying the score at one all. Three minutes later Joan Ottman of Woodstock lined up for a penalty shot from seven yards out. This time Miss Whitney, with a little bit of that so called extra effort, blocked the shot. Then with 10 minutes left in the game the local crew went to work with some fancy passing. Ann Elliott took the ball down the east sidelines, passed it off to Diane Eschner, who in turn passed to Denise Hughes. With the defense coming out after Denise, she neatly passed off to Tiana Olsen, who never broke stride and flipped it in the net for the winning goal. It was a thrilling well executed play and the teamwork was something to behold. In the final stages of the game the McHenry crew were knocking on the door again, but time ran out on them. It was indeed a happy Coach Cis Morner and her field hockey team who ran off the field winners in their first at tempt at state playoffs. The girls advance to the Deerfield sectional next Friday at 3; 15 p.m. For one who attended his first field hockey game, I must say I was really impressed with not only the play of the girls, but the sportsmanship and spirit. The girls and coaches become as excited as the Warrior football team and coaches. From all Warrior fans I want to express our sincere good wishes to the girls in the Deerfield sectional meet on Friday. Fish Fry Friday 5 until 10 P.M.
