PAGE 7 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, JULY 8, 1WJ 1211 N. RIVER RD. . Mchenry, u. OUR BOWLING LANES ARE TEMPORARILY CLOSED FOR REPAIRS-.btrt, SIGH UP MOW rstar Ten champions and co- champions were crowned athletic "stars" Monday af­ ternoon, winning titles in their respective classifications in the second annual Superstars competition held at Petersen park. / -A. total of thirty-five com­ petitors in eight age-sex groups battled each other as well as the near-100 degree heat for three hours before the ten winners were named. , Superstar winners were as follows: Tom Popovich--Boys 12-13; Eric Lange-Boys 14-15; Marty Nuss -Boys 16-17; Tom Hutchinson-Boys 18-20; Robert Farrington and Tom Spasojevich--Men 30-up; Sue Smith and Missy Mayberry- Girls 12-13; Cindy Johnson- Women's 21-29; and Bonnie Gaza-Women 30-up. There were no entries in several classifications, with Superstars officials noting the intense heat as the reason why the turnout was slim. Nevertheless, the athletes who did participate turned in some outstanding times and distances in the various events. Each of the competititors was required to participate in each of the six events. For men and boys, the events were the 100-yard dash, 100-yard low hurdles, softball throw, frisbee throw, three-fourths mile distance run, and weight- lifting.- Women and girls competed in all the above events except weight-lifting. They shot free throws instead of lifting weights. In the 100-yard dash, Bill Connor recorded a fine time of 11.9 in the 14-15 age group. In the 16-17 age group, Jerry Hutchinson ran an outstanding 11.3. On the distaff side, 12-year- old Sue Smith stepped over the low hurdles in a nifty 16.5, while Missy Mayberry threw the softball 136 feet. But perhaps the meaning of Superstars was best conveyed by two teenage boys who had battled each other for first place throughout the day. When it was over, the loser turned to the winner, extended his hand and said, "Congratulations." The winner responded in kind, and then added, "See you next year. Friendly competition is what Superstars is all about. INDIVIDUAL RESULTS Boys 12-13 100-yard low hurdles: 1) James Wynveen, 2) Jim Verstege, 3) Pat Connor.

Lange competed in the Boys 12-13 age group, and although he didn't win, his face shows that defeat wasn't the result of a lack of trying. Pictured below are the ten champions and co-champions in various age groups. They are from left to right: Marty Nuss- Boys 16-17; Sue Smith-Girls 12-13; Tom Hutchinson-Boys 18-20; Bonnie Gaza-Womens 30-up; Eric Lange-Boys 14-15; Tom Popovich-Boys 12-13; Bob Farringtoo-Mens 30-up; Cindy Johnson-Womens 21-29; Missy Mayberry-Girls 12-13; and Tom Spasojevich-Mens 30-up. Trophys were awarded first and second place finishers in each division. STAFF PHOTOS-JEFF BONATO u* DIVOT DOLLS M.C.C. As forecast in last week's column, the second round of Match Play tournament for the women at Mc Henry Country club proved to be tighter competition as a couple of matches extended to the nineteenth hole. In Class A going into the 18th, Letty Busscher was one down to Nell Fidler. With both players dropping their drives short of the green, Nell popped her approach close enough for a one-putt while Letty took a standard two-putt following her approach. It was a tight' match with Nell emerging the victor. Playing in the same group it was Liz Nolan over Floss O'Connell in a one-hole extra play. Going into the 17th with a one-hole lead Liz blew her opportunity toclose out Floss by developing a spasm and three- putting to tie the hole. While Liz overdrove the green on 18, Floss plunked her drive on the green within easy putting distance and took the hole to tie up the match. Going down the first fairway for their extra hole both gals were short of the green with their third shots, Floss off to one side and Liz in the sandtrap. Approaching and taking a standard two-putt, Floss holed out with a six while Liz blasted out of the trap close enough for a one-putt and holed out with a five. Also in Class A „ it was Alvina Yopp over LaVerne Harpling and Joanie Buss over Judy Smithson. Next week Liz will be up against Alvina while Nell will be competing against Joanie. Another extra-hole match took place in Class B. Going down the first fairway for the second time in the tournament on Tuesday Bernice Dolce downed Evie Guntner in a sudden death extra-hole play. In the same group Myrt Johnson took the match from Char Zwissler. Continuing in Class B it was Maysie Stamer over Maddie Holmes. By mutual consent the match between Carta Wright and Sue v ° CRYSTAL LAKE UPHOLSTERY Martin was postponed 'til later in the week. In Class C it was Fran Weyland over Dorothy Christiensen. Marge Blomquist over Joan Schlosky, Betty Rode over Phyllis Bird, and Gladys Warfield over Gloria Ott. Class D play found Mary Mutschinsky defeating Carolyn Boyer, Jeanie Remke downing Elaine Schmaling, Mabel Smith ova* Dorothy Hollander and Marcella Wakitsch over Card Bolger. With the tem­ perature hitting close to the 100 mark, the women are to be commended for their stamina. Individual notes of interest were a couple of chip-ins. Joanie Buss on No. 13 and Dorothy Hollander on No. 18. The only birdie registered was by Fran Weyland on No. 14. more unusual happening was reported by and about Carol Cooney on the difficult par-five No. 15 hole. From 142 yards out from the green Carol dropped her shot into the cup for an Eagle three. Whoopee!! A great shot, Carol. Our blonde bomber has a number of those shots in her bag. While Lois Prust, one of the Nifty Niners, was pairing No. 9 another Nifty, Merrilee Steinbach, was falling in the creek on No. 8. The pertinent details were not divulged but Merrilee was reported to have finished her round with one white shoe and one Mack shoe. Must be either a new fashion trend or mud. More serious golf next week. Til then, Happy golfing! Liz Chapel Hili Golf - The Veterans administration has changed payment procedures for persons enrolled in educational programs.

Checks now follow the month of enrollment. Lloyd Freund and Gary Gilpin edged out Pat Blair and Denny Dfeke in the Pick Your Partner Best Ball tourney held on Sunday and Monday. The winners had a net 56-57 for a total of 113. Blair and Drake had a 57-57 114 total. Tied for third place were Jerry Rogers and Archie Aubin, Bob and Duane Schmitt, and Wayne Gaylord and Bob Heniese with a total of 115. In fourth place were the teams of Jack Worm, apd Fred Gupitil, Don and Larry Lowery, and Bob Neilsen and Bill Whortley with 116. The straightest drive on ber 11 went to Fred Gupitil, and the closest to the pin on 8 was Dick Wells, andon number 10 Jack JKonfiV The longest 7 went to Ken 'alkinham with a drive of over 300 yards. In the Ladies Division Dee Strossner andLorraine Freund shot a limy 57 to take the honors. Pinky Smith and Dorothy Kreamcheck took second with a 58. Third place Harriett Whortley and Mariam Ehlem and Mae Fuiawa and Lorraine Houda. Dorothy Kreamcheck took low putts with 33, and Nanci McAulife had the straightest drive. Interesting sidelights that occurred were, Wayne Gaylord had a net 1 on the 275 yd. 5th hole. Really took advantage of his handicap, and the popular photographer was all smiles as he accepted congratulations from the group. George Brda and Gene Heise each had a double eagle on the par 5 number 9. Bobby Beyer had to take off his shoes to count his total on a par 4 hole. Seems like Frank Schmitt's barn got in the way of a couple of drives. . Eddie Todd was seen drinking milk at the cook-out. He told Billy Warn that he turned over a new leaf. George Street had an eagle on number 9 for a fat seven. Two out of bounds balls proved the big fellow's downfall. A steak cook-out with the wives was served at the end of the day. As usual genial John Bolton the "Pro" did another gang im job along with the owner George Eggert. A total of 72 men and 28 women took part in the two day affair.

AUTOWORLD By BRENT RUSSELL Students planning fall enrollment in Veterans ad­ ministration educational programs who desire advance payments must make their request in writing to the schools. There is no truth to the rumor that the new chief of t,tha National Highway Traf- < 41c Safety Administration was the real-life model for Ms. Joan Caucus, the "Doones- bury" cartoon character that has captivated newspaper readers with her independent approach to life. Still, NHTSA's new ad­ ministrator, Joan Claybrook --an attorney like Ms. Cau­ cus--is a formidable char­ acter. She is the single most important federal official for motorists since she bosses the agency charged with pre­ venting highway accidents. In a recent exchange with members of the Senate Com­ merce Committee, Ms. Clay- brook offered an interesting insight into her approach to the agency's tasks. Here's a sampling: • Speed--". . . the real upper limits of speed are determined by vehicle design. Since the imposition of the 66 m.p.h. posted limit the public has recognized the economic, safety and en­ vironmental advantages of slower vehicle speeds. Thus, the public might now be more receptive than it was to a limit on the maximum speed capability of new ve­ hicles:" e Air bags--favors review of the present postpone­ ment. "My support derives from the fact that passive restraints would produce very substantial reductions in deaths and injuries, a that they are designed to work automatically when a crash occurs without any action by the occupants, and that they are presently in a highly re­ fined state of development because of the efforts within the automobile Industry to perfect them." e Safety belts -- "Since some auto companies have failed, after ten years of mandatory safety belt in­ stallation, to design and in­ stall safety belt systems that are comfortable and convenient, I shall, as soon as possible, review carefully the pending proposal" to make the systems easier to use. o Motorcycle helmets -- ". . . there is no alternative to helmets for safety pro­ tection for the motorcycle rider. The most severe ' motorcycle injuries usually occur to the head. Whon such injuries occur, there are sub­ stantial costs which must be assumed by taxpayers, such as ambulance service, hos­ pitalisation and medical care, unemployment benefits and other public services." e Pedestrians -- "There are at least three avenues that should be explored to reduce pedestrian deaths and injuries." These are changes in vehicle design to make "them less lethal" to pedes­ trians, changes in roadway design to separate pedes­ trians from vehicles, - and changes in traffic patterns and rules to protect pedes­ trians. Ms. Claybrook adds that she will regard pedes­ trian safety "among my highest priorities." Ms. Claybrook has carved out large tasks for her agency. Her ideas are con­ troversial and the "selling* of them to the driving public will probably be harder than developing the specific reg­ ulations. There is no indica­ tion, .. for instance, that drivers feels more receptive toward air bags than they have. These views, too rigidly held, could be counterproduc­ tive. Ms. Claybrook will'need to compromise. ONE MINUTE SPORTS 0 1. Tom Seaver pitches fir what pro baseball team? ? 2. Who won the U.S. Open golf tournament? 1 *3. Who won the College World Series? ' d 4.
