PAGE • - PLAINDEALER • FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 30, 1977 Hurricanes Battle I.C. In Key WSCC Contest Tom Parker, head football coach at Marian Central, is trying not to put extra em phasis on this week's game Directions To Marian Game Marian plays at Immaculate Conception high school in Elmhurst Saturday, with the ^sophomore game starting at noon and the varsity game starting at 2 p.m. Fans attending the game should allow about one hour and fifteen minutes to get to the I.C. football field. Here is how to get there. Take Rt. 12 to Rt. 53. Take Rt. 53 south. Rt. 53 will soon merge with I 90. Remain on the highway until such time as Rt. 53 and Rt. 90 split. When they split, stay on I 90. Take I 90 to Rt. 83. Take Rt. 83 south to Rt. 64. Turn east on Rt 64, and travel one block. That is West avenue, and the football field is on West avenue in Elmhurst. Turn south on West avenue (how's that for confusion) and the field will be about one and one- half miles down on West avenue. Good luck! against Immaculate Con ception, rather attempting to treat it like another conference game which the Hurricanes need to win to stay in contention for league honors. But while Parker may not be putting extra emphasis on this Saturday's game, it's a safe bet that other teams in the West Suburban Catholic conference (WSCC) will be keeping a close eye on the outcome as a gauge of Marian's strength this season. In other words, this game is a big one. Immaculate Conception is coming off of a 17-0 win over a strong Marmion team, while Marian defeated St. Francis 26- 0. Thus, both teams are 1-0 in the conference, and they, along with Benet, were preseason favorites for the conference title. In commenting on what he expects from Immaculate Conception, Parker said, "They are a large team physically, and are coming off of an extremely big win. They are very much ball-control oriented, believing in three yards a play." One interesting statistic best illustrates the type of offense 1.C. runs. Against Marmion last week, Marmion took the opening kickoff, was forced to punt, and I.C. then kept the ball for the next 9:30 of the game, driving the length of the field for the score. Of course, the best way to stop I.C.'5 ball-control offense is to not let their have the ball,< and to jump out to an early lead so that when they do get the ball, they have to put it into the air in order to get back into the game. To that end, fans can expect the Hurricanes to use a diversified attack from the opening kickoff in an attempt to get some points on the board. Pat Fallow is expected to return to action this week, after missing last Saturday with an injury. Fallow and Ed Sandall will alternate at one halfback position. The other halfback slot will be manned by Ron Wenzel, a junior who has sparkled thus far this season. Jim Ringness will again start at quarterback after a fine outing against St. Francis. "We committed very few technical errors against St. Francis," Parker said. "But, we've got to again be con sistent, and we have to hit on every play if we are going to win. Saturday, on more plays than not, we were executing our blocks." Kickoff Saturday is at noon for the sophomores, with the varsity taking the field at about 2 p.m. EARL WALSH So I Hear SPORTS EDITOR Heard a gal on radio give a quick answer when asked her occupation. ' Says she: "Household Engineer". Always thought it nice to refer to the lady of the house as a "Homemaker" instead of housewife. Guess that won't do any more. The little woman is an engineer. The Mundelein football team will be here Friday night to play our Warriors. From all accounts, our team should have won quite handily at Libertyville last week. As often happens, the tide turned in the second half as the Cats came up from the short £nd of a 13-0 score to rip and Jt>ar their way to victory, 18 to #3 m # -- 3 The Warriors either had a Jerrible letdown in the last half or the Cats heard some strong Srords of wisdom during the intermission. • That defeat should make the JVarriors fighting mad. Wa^h Jem tear into their task Friday r ... f Winn Phillips wants to know £hich Cub players, besides Rick Reuschel, I would want fpr my Sox next year. £ Thanks, but no thanks, Winn. w* * Our roster is filled with stars and future greats. Besides, the Cubs save us Ron Santo.' That we can't forget. Sometimes I wonder why Northwestern's football team is still playing in the Big 10. With high scholastic stan dings and lack of football scholarships, Northwestern seems to be doomed. Of course, things might turn around for the Wildcats some time. Can well remember when the Phillies were a big joke in the National League and I thought they should trade places with some triple-A minor league team. Now in '77 the Phillies have a shot at being the baseball champions of the world. Marie Yegge and I planned to attend the All-Chicago World Series this year until the big event got away. Now she is reading literature on Ireland. The South of Ireland, of course. Did your mother knit a cover for an old flatiron and use it for a doorstop? One of my most amusing experiences in life was calling on a man of more than moderate means, finding him soaking his feet and com plaining about the price of soap. LADIES TUES.

Warriors Hope To Unload On Mundelein's 'Shotgun Will the Mundelein offense fire blanks, or will its "shotgun" shoot holes in the McHenry defense? The answer will be known Friday night when the Warriors take on the Mustangs at McCracken field. The varsity game starts at 8 p.m. with the sophomore contest beginning at 6 p.m. Both Mundelein and McHenry have identical 1- 2 records, and both are 0-1 in the North Suburban conference. However, the similarity ends there. While McHenry runs from a more conventional T or 'pro* offensive formation, the Mustangs run their offense from a shotgun formation, an allignment in which the quarterback is about seven yards behind the center rather than directly behind him. It is very much of a passing formation, although the Mustangs have had trouble getting the offense going thus far. North Chicago held Mundelein scoreless last week in a 6-0 win. McHenry's defense and offense completely broke down in the second half of last Saturday's loss to Libertyville, and head coach Bill Day indicated that the Warriors are working in practice on being more consistent. "We're working on consistency," he said. "It's hard to understand how you can go from two penalties one game to twelve the next" McHenry was plagued by penalties against Libertyville, although Day attributed some of them to anxiousness. As for allowing the three second-half scores which cost McHenry the game, the coach said, "I think at that particular point, they wanted it worse than we did." He noted that his defense will have to make some adjustments in facing the shotgun, but is confident his defensive unit will be able to get the job done. Day also mentioned the fact that Mundelein has only given up three touchdowns in three games. To open up the offense more against the Mustangs, Day is planning to move the wingback to the outside, giving quarterback Pete Prust an additional pass receiver. In previous games, the wingback has been used exclusively as a blocking bade. As for the outstanding players in Saturday's loss, Day mentioned the play of defensive halfback Tim Oakley and tailback Mike Tollifson. The coach reported that three players received back injuries in the Libertyville game, courtesy of Libertyville players spearing them with their helmets. Day also expects Prust to go into the. Mundelein game less nervous than he was for Libertyville. The coach indicat that hi quartrbacc was "pretty nervous" for his first conference game.

May Leads Hurricanes To 6th Place Finish In Kaneland Invitational During National 4-H Week, Oct. 2-8, 5.8 million 4-H members will rededicate their heads to clearer thinking, their hearts to greater loyalty, their hands to larger service and their health to better living. BOOSTER CLUB With an objective of lending moral and financial support to the athletic programs at East and West campuses, a McHenry Warriors Booster club is being formed. The first meeting is scheduled Wed nesday evening, Oct. 6, at West campus, rooms 210-211, beginning at 7:30 p.m. Open floor elections of officers will take place. The interested public is invited to attend. Darryl May continued to perform brilliantly this past week, leading Marian Central to a fine sixth place finish in the nineteen-team Kaneland In vitational Cross Country meet. May, who resides in John- sburg, finished third overall, behind runners from Burlington Central and Benet. Chicago DeLaSalle won the Cross Country meet, but Winnebago was the only Class 4A' school to finish ahead of the Hurricanes. Mike Davis was the second Marian runner to finish, as he was the twenty-third runner to complete the course. In the Open division of the tournament, Chris Hopp, a Marian runner from McHenry finished thirteenth, and drew words of praise from his coach, Hans Rokus, for the fine effort. Marian's team finish might have been even better if Tom Hiller from McHenry, the Hurricanes' No. 2 runner, hadn't been forced to drop from the race midway along the three-mile course. It was the second consecutive meet in which Hiller was forced to drop out due to a severe cold which he has been battling. However, on Tuesday, Hiller indicated he was returning to full strength, completing the entire Marian course and finishing fifth overall as the Hurricanes lost to Benet 25-32. The loss dropped the Hurricanes season record to 5- 4. May finished second in the meet against Benet, while Davis, Paul Sandall, and Jesse Garcia rounded out the Marian scoring with sixth, seventh, and twelfth place finishes. Benet is a Class 'AA' school which Marian will not have to battle in the state cross country tournament. Rokus indicated that "year in and year out, Benet wins the conference." Despite the loss, Rokus remained optimistic as the season moves into its final month. Tuesday, the Hurricanes will run at home against the other strong team in the West Suburban Catholic conference, Marmion. P HILLGOLFO OFF THE TEE WITH DEE Squaw day began with a bang at Chapel Hill Golf club, Sept. 13 (and I don't mean the shotgun tee off). The day started with a Continental breakfast with an American twist (Bloody Mary's) and warmed the golfers who were gathered for this event. 172 women, on a grey, rainy morning. Undaunted the women played in the rain and greeted the competition in high spirits! This annual event is spon sored by the Chapel Hill Ladies League, aided and abetted by the congenial Mr. and Mrs. George Eggert, and kicked off by the busy golf pro, Mr. John Bolton.
