\ PAGE 7-PLAINDEALER--FRIDAY, MAY 13, 1977 On The Sidelines by Dick Rafckltt Coach Ken Swanson's baseball Warriors played excellent baseball in the recent District Tourney held at McCracken field. Pounding out over 20 hits, committing only 2 minor errors, and allowing the opposiiton 1 run on 1 hit in two games, has left the "Crusher" a very happy man entering the Regional at Elgin on Saturday. Senior righthander Lee Steinsdoerfer led off on Saturday with a no hitter, striking out 13, walking two, and hitting one. Two of the three were erased, one on an attempted steal, and the other on a nifty pickoff play. The Warriors defeated an old foe the Woodstock Blue Streaks 8 to 0. On Monday afternoon in the finals against Richmond, again another righthander Barry "B^r" Paulsen tossed a one hitter, and if it were not for a misjudged fly ball, it too, could have been a no hitter. The stocky lad struck out 12, issued five walks, three in one inning, as the Warriors banged out 13 hits. Barry led the attack with a triple and a double, the only extra base hits in the game. With two good ball games behind them, the Warriors should be ready for the Broncos on Saturday. No doubt "Steiny" will again get the call for the pitching chores, and if the rest of the team will play to its capacity, the Warriors will enter the Sectional the following week. The Thinclads of Wally Scott showed their heels to the rest of the field in the Woodstock Relays on Saturday. It may have been a surprise to everyone, except the coaches, Scott, Bill Day, Dan Boland, and Gary Collins. After finishing 7th in their own relays, the Warriors wanted to prove that they were better than they showed before the home folks. They did just that, by scoring 100 pts to overcome the host school and lead the field, and win the meet for the second time in three years. Tomorrow the Warriors are entered in the North Suburban Conference meet at Crystal Lake. Defending champ North Chicago rates the favorite's edge, but could have some competition from Zion Benton, Libertyville, and the Warriors. On paper, the Warhawks rate the favorite role, with Nate Lundy in the hurdles and long jump, and anchoring a relay, will be the team to beat. It should be an outstanding track meet, and anyone interested in a high school track meet at its best should attend. John Mclnerney of Eastern Illinois university and a former prep star at McHenry high has qualified for the N.C.C.A. Division II track meet later in the summer. John recently ran a 4:00.7 mile for Eastern in the recent Interstate Meet held at North Central in Naperville. If the young lad runs in the top three, he will qualify for the N.C.C.A.A. Division I to be held in Champaign on June 4 and 5. Best wishes from all Warrior fans to John. In the same meet Tommy Hutchinson of the University of Illinois, and son of Bill and JoAnn Hutchinson, hurled the javelin for a sixth place finish. The javelin is not a scheduled event in Illinois prep circles, and competing against some of the best in the nation, the local youth did right well in a field of thirty. Illinois won the meet, with Southern Illinois finishing a distant second. The old story of never sending a young man to do a man's job sometimes backfires. My good friend Vern Peterson, took a group of sophomores to Crown last Tuesday for a baseball game. Because of a school meeting which I attended, I called upon Vern to take the team down to Crown. All the "young fellow" did was to coach a no hit, no run game. Jim Adams was the pitcher in the game, striking out 8 and issued no walks. It is the second no hitter for the Warriors this week, Lee Steinsdoerfer for the varsity on Saturday, and young Mr. Adams on Tuesday. It was a job well done by both Vern and Jimmy.

By Pat Wirtz The 1977 twelve inch softball season started under typical opening day fashion threatening weather and ex­ citing baseball.

Homeruns were hit by Weber with two runners on and Martin with 2 aboard. Bill Coughlin added 3 hits in 5 at bats. The Rusty Nail stayed on top of a pesky Old Brewery team to hold on 10-6. Ray Theen, Nail leadoff hitter, had 4 hits in 5 at bats scoring twice. Dave Sundby added 3 hits and 3 runs scored while Charlie Sauers hit safely 3 of 4 at bats.

Besides higher sticker prices, fuel, oper­ ating, maintenance and in­ surance costs are on the rise, too. Auto economy is usually linked to size. So, if you're looking for economy in a 1977 American car, think small. By Dick Rabbitt The North Suburban con­ ference track meet will be held at Crystal Lake, starting at 10 a.m. Saturday morning. Defending champ North Chicago will be the team to beat, and from all reports, the defending champs will have their hands full. Last weekend in the Lake County meet, Zion Benton won over North Chicago by a mere one-half point. Libertyville with Jim Lenzini in the shot and discus, and Pete Amann in the distances, along with Lake Forest and the Warriors will all be in contention for the title. Vince Linnane, Mike Burman in the mile and two mile, along with Mike Peterson in both hurdles and high jump, joining A1 Reinboldt in the field events should score some points. Howie Useman in the sprints, and long jump should pick up a few points. On paper the Warriors are not the favorites, the horses are not just in the barn this season. They could, however, prove interesting enough to deter­ mine the winner Saturday afternoon, by taking a place here and there. Maybe a winner could develop on the part of the Warriors. Stranger things than that have happened at a track meet. 1 LAKE REGION j • YMCA NEWS : • • Lake Region Volleyball Second In State Last Saturday the Lalce Region YMCA men's volleyball team finished in second place in the State of Illinois tournament.

Fish Trading An attempt to further diversify fishing opportunities in Illinois has led the Illinois Department of Conservation into an unprecedented series of trades with other states for fish stock. The trades are a move to broaden the traditional bass- blue gill fishery in Illinois by trying to reestablish the muskellunge, said Greg Young, assistant manager of the state's Little Grassy Fish Hatchery in Williamson County. Swapping will also continue to serve the purpose of enhancing the survival characteristics of native species through introducing new strains. So far trades have been arranged with the states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Minnesota. Next week, Illinois plans to get 30,000 Penn­ sylvania-hatched muskie fry for rearing in a specially constructed pond at Chain O'Lakes State Park. Lake Region YMCA by scores of 15-7, 11-15 and 17-15. The consolation round was won by the Symons YMCA. The two largest facilities which will be added to the Lake Region YMCA as a result of the $833,000 expansion campaign are handball courts and a gymnasium. The building fund campaign is now under way. Construction is scheduled to begin next year. The Lake Region YMCA is located at Routes 14 and 31 making it easy to find by any McHenry County resident. Knowis1" ,> •ĵ Wfcatfier What weather phenome­ non must be understood by glider pilots if they are to stay aloft for long periods of time? Glider pilots must under­ stand the updraft and the ris­ ing thermal, or they cannot obtain maximum lift from the atmosphere. The updraft can often be caused by a range of mountains or hills near the seacoast. The incoming Seabreeze is defected upward by the cliff or hills and that is why glider pilots often flv up and down a coast to stay aloft. Generally, the Pacific is better than the Atlantic. Thermals are rising air masses, usually heated, which might occur inland. A glider pilot, watching his altimeter, can detect it when he enters a thermal. Then he maneuvers back around, turn­ ing often, to stay in the rising column of air. Sometimes this enables him to stay aloft for hours. WHO KNOWS! 1.
