t Warrior Cross Country Team Wins Two PAGE 7 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER Id, It?? is-' •RlKR* 11 ma OUTDOOR TOPICS Mike Burmann 1 5 - M 7 STAFF PHOTOS-WAYNE GAYLORD Mike Burmann became the fastest McHenry athlete ever to run the local cross country course Tuesday, as he helped the Warriors romp to a double duel meet victory over Lake Zurich and Dundee. McHenry defeated Lake Zurich 15-44 and Dundee 15-49, with Burmann covering the three-mile course in 15:39.7, three-tenths of a second faster than John Mclnerney ran two years ago. Burmann's showing ap­ parently was a stimulas to the entire team, as Warriors were the first five finishers in the race. Vince Linnane finished second, while Kevin Weisen- berger, Rich Parizanski, and Vince Linnane 16:16 Kevin Weisenberger 17:01 Rich Parizanski 17:52 Jim Smith 17:56 Jim Smith rounded out the top five. The double victory boosts McHenry's season record to 3-2 in duel meets, while the Warriors also hold a seventh place finish in the tough Maine East invitational tournament, run last weekend. The McHenry sophomore team did the varsity one better, taking, not just the first five places, but the first six. Gerry. Baczkowski won the race in 18:10, while Wayne Besserud finished second with a time of 1«: 29. The sophomore team scores were McHenry over Lake Zurich 15-50, and McHenry over Dundee 15-49. The Warriors return to action Marian Cross Country Saturday, when they compete in the Wauconda Invitational meet. Next Thursday, McHenry will run at Buffalo --^ __ Grove, facing the host Bisons leant IJpSCtS CrOWn and Conant. Equal Language Gov. Thompson recently signed a group of several dozen "pronoun" bills which change the language in Illinois law books to avoid discrimination against women. For example, either patent may now provide written permission for a minor's driver's license. Formerly the law stated that only the minor's father could provide such permission. Paced by the fine per­ formances of four local residents, the Marian Central varsity cross country team upset Crown Tuesday, handing the Vikings their first loss of the year, 24-31. Round Lake was the third team in the meet, and the Hurricanes also defeated the Panthers, winning 15-50. "Our kids did a real nice job," Marian coach Hans Rokus said. "Crown was 4-0 before Tuesday, and had Meet The Athletes Marty Nuss (football) Odess Dimopoulos • (football) Mark Sramlas (football) & 8 •| i This week's group of athletes include three football players, all of whom started last week against Rockford Boylan, and who will see considerable action Saturday when the Warriors battle Maine North. Marty NUBS Marty Nuss, son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Nuss, is one of the many Warrior varsity football players who were first exposed to football through the Hornets of the Junior Football league. The wide receiver caught four passes last week against Boylan, including one for the only McHenry score of the game. Marty believes that the toughest part about playing wide receiver is when he is required to block downfield, calling that phase of the game "pretty difficult" Besides football, he also is a wrestler and was on the track team last year. When he isn't playing a high school sport, he enjoys bowling, and says, "I've got a hobby like most other guys- -girls, you know." His father works for a major airline, and Marty hopes he will also be able to get a job with the same company after he finishes high school next spring. Mark Szumlas This senior, who holds the early season record for having his last name misspelled, is a defensive back and linebacker for the Warrior football team. Marie also has been on the varsity track team for the past two years, running the low hurdles and the mile relay. He says he likes both sports, but enjoys the practices in football more that track practices because "in football, you are always doing something different." Following graduation, he hopes to get into a college and become apre-med student • fPhile %t$home with tfis parents, two brothers and two sisters, Mark enjoys drawing and sketching, although he has not exhibited any of his works in a show thus far. Odess Dimopoulos a When Warrior football fans refer to Odess Dimopoulos as the big man in the offensive and defensive lines, they aren't kidding. Odess is B-I-G. The program lists him at 6-3, 260 pounds, although he says the coaches have waited him down to about 240. That Odess plays football is no surprised His father, Gus, played semi-pro football and one of his brothers played football while in the service. He also goes out for trade, and is a shot putter. Odess says he is a car race fan, and although he doesn't woit on aptomobiles himself, he enjoys watching other ft race." | Following graduation next spring, he plans on attending j:j: college and studying architectural engineering. beaten some pretty good teams." Tuesday, Marian showed that it is a pretty good team. Darryl May of Johnsburg was the individual winner in the race, covering the 2.8 mile Viking course in 15:31. Tom Hiller of McHenry was third in 16:20, while Mike Davis, also of McHenry, finished fourth with a time of 16:33. Seventh place went to Ron Mauer of McHenry in 16:58 while Mike Dipirro was the ninth finisher, and fifth Marian runner to complete the race. The double victory boosts Marian's season record to 4-1, going into a meet which was scheduled for Thursday against Rockford Boylan. Saturday, the Hurricanes will run in the Wauconda In­ vitational meet, the same event in which McHenry is com­ peting. by Bob Bmntor 'MERCURY OUTDOOR CONSULTANT WALKING ON WATER Almost everyone who goes boating has seen the long- legged spiders that stay on the surface of the water. These funny looking little insects, callcd water striders, appear to skate along the sur­ face without getting their feet wet. And that's just what happens. According to the outdoor recreation department at Mer­ cury outboards, water striders take advantage of surface tension that is inherent to water. They stay high and dry on a very thin film that forms on top. " Large objects can easily break this film, but small creatures, including spiders, water striders and many insects luckless enough to fall into the water, are able to support them­ selves on the film without getting wet. Fly fishermen try to dupli­ cate the floating ability of many small insects that are used by fish as food. Topwater artificial flies are made of selected hackle feathers which are wound on very small hooks. The few strands of feather which actually touch the water support the fly on the surface in a manner similar to the insect being copied. The tension on water works both ways. Aquatic insects that break through the film are often un­ able to return to their watery world below. The tension is too great for them to break, and usually they dry up and float away. FROM THE PAST...Like a photo from an old album is this picture of an old mill at Cade's Cove in the Great Smokies near Gatlinburg, Tennessee. No Excuse For Some Accidents If a driver for the Fort Wayne Sufety Cab Com­ pany is involved in one of three specific kinds of acci­ dents, he is subject to im­ mediate dismissal due to will­ ful jrross negligence. Haskell B. Schultz, presi­ dent of the Indiana firm, finds little excuse for collisions at unregulated intersections; stop street accidents, where the driver stops and then collides with a car on the through street; and front- en J collisions, where the driver runs into the rear of another vehicle. Schultz feels he can be that specific because of the con­ centrated driver training pro­ gram his firm uses to develop safe driving habits. The union supports his view. The compt ny has one of the best driving records in the nation. A small handbook covering safe driving practices has just been published by Schultz and may be obtained by writ­ ing to Maumee Press, 436 E. W a s h i n g t o n B l v d . , F o r t Wayne, Ind. 46802.

To restore crisp­ ness, heat the cereal in a shallow baking pan in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for five minutes. FOKGET PAKM6I lrt HOME GAME SUNDAY, SEPT. 18, v*.
