Ride For Rescue Squads a. THE MARATHON BEGINS as Ben Madey steers his snowmobile up the incline with ninety-one machines to follow. Nearly 5,000 miles were covered as most of the snowmobiles finished the 53-mile trip. (STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE G A YLORD) The second annual "Rescue 50" drew ninety-one snowmobiles to the McHenry Moose lodge for the start of the marathon that benefitted the rescue squads of McHenry and Johnsburg. The event, sponsored by the On The Side/toes by Dick RabWtf The McHenry high basketball team and wrestlers will face stiff competition this weekend. The Warrior cagers play a double header going to Mundelein tonight, and hosting Barrington tomorrow night in North Suburban league play. Tomorrow Marty Sobczak will take his "Rassling,Warriors" to Kaneland for a triangular meet. One thing can be said of Warrior teams, they take on the best, in whatever sport it may be, and they generally meet the challenge. A tip of the old fedora to the Johnsburg Old Timers Baseball Committee. Had the opportunity along with Ken Swanson (head baseball coach at McHenry) to attend the First Annual dinner last Thursday at the Community Club. What a star studded program they had lined up. Vince Lloyd the voice of the other team in Chicago, along with pitcher Ray Burris and Bucky Dent of the White Sox . Buck Peden who turned traitor and went to the Cubs as their P R. man, and the super scout of the Sox Steve Vrablik were the guests of the evening. The way Harry May handled the mike as M.C. Vince Lloyd had better watch out, or he will be looking for a new job. Jerry Wakitsch the program chairman, had an unique program. Instead of the stale old speeches, which become boring, had Vince Lloyd do an interview of the various guest. Naturally questions were asked about the recent entry into the hall of fame of Ernie Banks. Bucky, claimed that he thought he may be a Yankee next season. Buck Peden told of his role of a P.R. man for the Cubs and was trying to sell a few season tickets. Steve told of his scouting the talent over the country to make the Sox's a contender for the coming season. One of the highlights was the interview of the popular Art Jackson of McHenry. As usual golf was mentioned, but Art was indeed modest about his golfing powers. Art then went on to mention and talk about the Tigers winning the State Title in 1952, when the Tigers were the Champions of all Illinois. Former Tiger batboy, or that is what he said. Father Hettermann was in attendance, and if not already, could become quite a story teller. « S.I.H. was on the dais and told of stories of the Irish Prairie of long ago d^ys. Many of us youngsters wonder what or where is the "Irish Prairie"? The McHenry State Bank was well represented. President Tom Bolger, along with my buddy "Buddy Smith" who kept trying to give me Cub stickers, Bob Powers, Jim Larkin, Rick Lane, and others had a table, 'ine old 'Badgci Hero IwuLcd like »n,. was tp'ing to fix a traffic ticket from Judge Herrmann. An old friend of days gone by and a former coaching rival Joe Lewis led a large delegation from Belvidere. The smiling gent from Green Street, Chris Wirtz was in his glory with the Cub representation. The two Irishmen John McGee and Ron Conway two loyal Warrior fans were in full force. County Auditor A1 J our dan and the smiling Sib Whiting although not out hustling votes, made their attendance known. The four Jackson brothers, George, Joe, Art and Ed all former players looked like they enjoyed the evening. A couple of real oldtimers Lloyd Freund, and Willie Klapperich stood up and took their bows as members of the 1952 team. Bill "Lefty" Kreutzer, the old lefthander was in rare form, he sure can tell some tall stories. All in all it was quite a program, and the Old Timers can sit back and bust those buttons. They did a wonderful job, and I'm sure that next year will be bigger and better than this year, if that is possible. As usual the ladies did a wonderful job with the meal. Anyone that went away hungry, can only blame himself, there was plenty to eat, and it was good. With the Broncos coming to McHenry tomorrow night, I dug out the records, the Warriors first win over the Broncos in North Suburban play. The game was played during the 1955-56 season, and the Warriors of Cliff Fulton won in overtime 47 to 45. 1955-56 SEASON McHenry fg ft Pf tP Pierce 4 2 2 10 McMahon 0 0 0 0 Hogan 0 0 0 0 Schmitt 3 2 1 8 Cepulis 0 0 0 0 Wright 3 2 3 8 Wissell 0 0 0 0 Justen 0 0 0 0 Huff 1 5 2 3 12 Beck 4 1 3 9 Huemann 0 0 0 0 Totals 19 9 12 47 Jurs Miller Condil Palmer Goldman Buckley Dow Totals Barrington fg ft pf 3 0 3 1 1 1 2 tp I;!; 6 s 13 >:•: 4 2 8 7 & 5 8 18 9 14 45 £ J ~ PAGE 7 - PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 19t7 J.V.

Harmony snowmobile club of McHenry, ran smoothly without a mishap as all road crossings were handled by members of the two local rescue squads and the Sheriff 's department.
