PAGE • - PLAINDEALKR - WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBfcK 28. 1 f77 Libertyville Triumphs 18-13 • Warriors Give And Wildcats Take This one really hurt Losing is never enjoyable, but it's ahray tougher when a team loses a game it, by aU rights, should have won. That was the case Saturday when Libertyville rallied from a 13-0 halftone deficit, scoring three times in the final twelve and a half minutes to beat McHenry It-13 in the North Suburban conference opener far both teams. Warrior backers looking around for someone to blame the defeat on, needn't look very far. The offense failed the defense and the defense failed the offense, the two units combining to give Libertyville three touchdowns and give McHenry a defeat when victory had seemed so likely just a short time earlier. Certainly, victory seemed within reach during the first half. The Warrior defense limited Libertyville to just 37 rushing yards, and allowed only four passing yards, while Mark Szumlas and Ralph Guzman each intercepted parses Though McHenry didn't move the ball consistently in the first half, gaining just 87 yards, twice the big play resulted in scores. Quarterback Pete Prust hit Jeff Anderson with a 31-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter, and Prust connected with Tim Oakley with a 12-yard TD pass in the second period. The latter score came after a Wildcat defender had deflected the pass. McHenry almost scored again on the final play of the half, but a deflected pass fell just out of reach of the receiver's hands in the end rone Still, the 13-0 lead looked good, especially considering the fact that Libertyville hadn't scored, not just in the first half, but ALL season. On McHenry's first possession of the second half, Prust drove his team to the Wildcat 13-yard line, where the drive stalled and a field goal attempt was blocked. In retrospect, the Mocked field goal was the beginning of the aid for the Warriors. The aborted field goal effort gave Libertyville the ball on its own 15-yard line, 85 yank away from a score, and facing the prospect of having to move the ball into the teeth of a strong wind. But the wind would only be a factor if it became necessary to pass, and Libertyville did not find it necessary to pass the entire second half. Prom their own 15, the Wildcats moved the ball the length of the field in 12 plays, with Melvin Blue scoring the TD from one yard out. Blue and Glenn Lamz carried the ball on every play in the drive, naming every play off of either left tackle or right tackle. The score came with just 34 seconds remaining in the third quarter, and although it had taken the Cats almost 15 quarters of the season to score, it took them only 42 seconds to score again. That came on the first play of the final period when Mike Fedrigon, a defensive lineman, had his dream come true, catching a deflected Prust pass and ambling 40 yards into theend zone. Libertyville attempted to run for two points and the lead, but the Warrior defense rose to the occasion for the only time in the half, keeping McHenry ahead by a precarious 13-12 margin. McHenry took the ensuing kickoff, and three plays later, had to punt, Libertyville taking over on the McHenry 49. From there, Lamz and Blue carried a total of nine times, with Blue again scoring from one yard away. The drive was aided by an embarrassing penalty against McHenry for having too many men on the field on a third-and-one situation at the Warrior six. That penalty was just one of twelve rule infractions called on the Warriors, and although not all twelve really hurt, libertyville was given three first downs via penalties. Following the go-ahead score, McHenry moved the ball to midfieid, where an offsides penalty helped stall the drive. A fourth- down pass fell incomplete, and die Warriors never saw the ball again McHenry now has until Friday to regroup, facing Mundelein on that day at McCracken field. In the sophomore contest, Libertyville scored in every quarter, and held McHenry without a first down the entire second half, enroute to a 27-0 victory.

As they always say, "Go it while you're young." If you plan to marvel at the beautiful fall scenery in Wisconsin, wait a week or two. <• The leaves haven't turned enough to take your breath away. They planned a shindig for Floyd Foss in Richmond to celebrate his birthday. Frank Gans, who had an or­ chestra way back when it was called the Fox River Four until Floyd joined the group to make . it Five, and Avis were there. So were Bob Weber and Gus Freund, former fellow workers at the West McHenry State Bank. Of course, their wives »were there to join the fun. # £ "Red" Winkel and Yours > Truly, classmates of Floyd at £old McHenry High (now '^Landmark School), and their <• wives were happy to be in- deluded. ? As Floyd always lets 'everybody know, "Class of '23". There were many others there to join Floyd and his wife, Muriel, for the party. From the first day Floyd boarded the train at Ringwood to come to McHenry High, he has been a good friend and one heckuva popular fellow. The "Andrews Sisters," Bob Adams, Don Howard and Don Weingart wowed the large • crowd at Andre's Saturday t night '* It was the 21st Annual Dinner Dance for McHenry Hospital. Proceeds from this Dinner Dance benefit the Mobile In­ tensive Care Program of McHenry County and Western Lake County. The three "gals" in their flowing gowns and wigs (and padding) were sent forth by their make-up artist, Mrs. Ken Bruce. Denny Conway was the lively announcer. Ken Bruce was at the controls. The wives dressed their men. Oh, how they can sing! Plaindealer co-workers slipped one over on me in the Wednesday issue to wind up "It's a Man's World". No fewer than four times did I decline an interview. So they took another approach. They got me! Hope you saw the clever page showing the state awards to the Plaindealer.

Members of several squads in the area were honored at the dinner. Of course, Don reminded me to be present next Sunday when the Johnsburg Rescue Squad will celebrate the 25th an­ niversary of the organization. They hope to see a large crowd at the program. It will probably be near one o'clock when festivities get under way. Another big attraction on Sunday will be the gathering of former baseball and softball players from the county at Hunter Country Club in Rich­ mond. This will go on all day. Golf, visiting, then eats in the evening. ' "Sonny" Katzenberg is the sparkplug in back of this event. Father Baumhofer lets one and all know that St. Mary's parish will sponsor a rootin- tootin' Oktoberfest next Sunday on the church grounds. From all the activities planned, it looks like we will be as busy as a kid trying to get all the acts at a 3-ring circus. A grand, old fashioned mother, Mrs. A.P. Freund, was called to her eternal reward last week at the admirable age of 85 years. Mrs. Freund guided a large family to manhood and- womanhood in a manner that only a dear and christian mother could do. My admiration for that good mother is great. It would be nice to meet her up there some day. Talked a little baseball with Jim Collins Saturday night. He is a White Sox fan and joins me in waiting for next year. This is the last week of the baseball schedule and only a miracle could change the picture. The Kansas City Royals and New York Yankees will battle in the American League playoffs. In the National League* the Los Angeles Dodgers are way out in front and will cross bats with the Philadelphia Phillies. Then comes the World Series and about time for the American League to bring home the bunting. Or - don't you think so, John Busscher? Marian Records First Win 26-0 Completely dominating play from the opening kickoff, Marian Central recorded its first win of the season, blanking St. Francis 26-0 in the West Suburban Catholic conference opener for both teams. Marian will put its 1-0 league mark on the line next Saturday when it travels to Immaculate Conception, which is also 1-0 in the WSCC As to what spelled the dif­ ference between Saturday's victory and two non-conference losses. Hurricane coach Tom Parker said it was consistency. 'Today we had consistency. We went four downs for first downs. We had a balanced attack, and the kids were ready to play." Marian moved the ball seemingly at will against St. Francis, picking up 107 yards in the air and twice that amount on the ground. Ron Wenzel, playing half­ back in place of the injured Tom Siciliano. sparkled of­ fensively, while Parker singled out the Huemann brothers, Tony and Tom, of Johnsburg. for outstanding play at the defensive end positions. Marian built up a three touchdown lead in the first three quarters, and Parker was able to substitute freely in the final quarter. Jim Ringness quarterbacked the first three quarters, while Bill Barker drove his team in for a score in the final period. Anti-Child Porno Governor Jim Thompson acted on three bills recently to give Illinois "the toughest child pornography law in the nation". Thompson said, "It is not a so-called victimless crime. The victim is clearly the child, who is emotionally and spiritually destroyed. The issue is not government censorship; it is whether or not government will tolerate exploitation of helpless children." Jim Buenzli was in a little trouble here, but the McHenry golfer recovered to salvage par during this action from McHenry's victory over Libertyville Thursday. Buenzli fired McHenry Golf '* *** - i - Team Captures Crown Tourney Playing brilliant golf on a windy day, the McHenry varsity golf team captured the 21-team Crown Invitational Golf tournament Saturday by a whopping fifteen strokes. The Warriors carded a team score of 303, easily outdistancing Crystal Lake, which recorded a 318. In the tournament, each team was allowed to enter five players, with the four lowest eighteen-hole scores counting toward the team score. With over 100 players in the tournament, it was McHenry's a 77 Saturday in the Crown Invitational tourney to help the Warriors win the meet. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Tom Pepping who claimed medalist honors, firing a brilliant one-over-par 73. Teammate Tim Byers tied for second place with a 74, while Jim Buenzli had a 77 and Pat Becker a 79. Hie tournament victory was the second in succession for McHenry, which won the meet last year with a score of 312. In addition to the tournament victory, McHenry also played a dud match last week, beating Libertyville 149-165. Bob Lunkenheimer, Steve Kivley, and Pepping each had 37s in the match, while Tim Byers shot 38. McHenry is now 9-0 in dud meet competition, and was scheduled to play at Crystal Lake Monday and at Lake Forest on Tuesday. The Lake Forest match is important, not only because die Scouts have a strong team, but because it is the site of the State Sectional Golf tournament, held next month. Should McHenry win its district, which will be played at the McHenry Country club, it will play at Lake Forest in the sectional meet. Several strong teams are expected to be in that particular sectional, including Antioch, which recently shot a team score of 140 in a duel match.
