PAGE f-PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER S. 197? Knights And Mustangs *Rain9 Supreme Beck, I.C. Whip Hurricanes 21-6 Fans who attended Immaculate Conception's 21-6 victory Marian Central Saturday, witnessed a sight that won't be again for a long while. ' X7' . What they saw was one player, I.C. fullback Mark Beck, carry the ball 48 times. And while Beck wasn't a game-breaker, averaging less than four yards per carry, his repeated dives into the line for three, three, and four yards for a first down, enabled the Knights to control the tempo of the game and grind out the victory. „ •. • There's an old adage that says "you can't score if you don't have the ball", and Marian had the ball Saturday for just 40 plays, compared to 73 for I.C, The Knights' rushing attack was so consistent that it enabled them to grind out scoring marches of 11,12, and 17 plays, before closing out the scoring late in the game following a Marian fumble deep in Hurricane territory. When Marian had the ball, it was unable to move the ball effectively, being blanked by the rugged Knight defense until the final period. Kurt Parker scored the only Hurricane touchdown, tallying on a 17-yard pass from quarterback Jim Ringness. The scoring play was set up by a 35-yard pass to Parker from Ed Sandall on the halfback option play. Marian's touchdown notwithstanding, the story of the was Beck. The burly fullback carried the ball on eight of the 10 plays that led to the first I.C. score, five of the 11 plays that led to the field goal, and on 13 of the 16 plays that led to the third Knight rare. His effectiveness is even more remarkable when one realises that the Marian defense knew what was coming, and yet Beck still gained yardage. For the game, Beck gained 191 yards on the ground, and nlM one touchdown. His running meant that I.C. quarterback Bob Durante was forced to throw only three times in the drizzle, completing two. Marian is now 1-1 in the West Suburban Catholic conference whil Immaculate Conception is 2-0. The Hurricanes are 1-3 overall, and are at home Saturday against Montini. In the sophomore contest, Marian defeated I.C. 6-0. SCORING-STATISTICS W«hw Central 1: JS--I.e.: Mar* Ik* mot. J-rm. (Pan llilrt.)

Coukb't blame them. Ducks would have taken to the hills an a night like that. As we looked down on the area behind the McHenry bench, it seemed like a gondola might come (kifting along. The 25th anniversary of the formation of the Johnsburg Rescue Squad was a real success Sunday afternoon. Squads from the county and nearby areas provided a large part of the parade preceding the program on the Community Club grounds. Master of Ceremonies Arnold Rauen was in rare form as be gtnded the program along. Guess I won't go into details of the program since a separate story will probably be turned in. With a dinner date waiting at Hunter Country Club, our stay at St. Mary's Oktoberfest had to be shortened. The crowd was having fun. Ahvina and Verona Etten «schoolmates) got into a gabfest that promised to last until night. The dinner date at Richmond was the occasion of a meeting of former baseball and saftbaD players from the cowty It was our good fortune to sit at a table with a great group. From a real good Algonquin team of some years back came Stan Mavis. Tubby Simonini. Ray Moehle and Ray Bangert Roddy Winn, Richmond catcher, and his wife joined the fun. Ted Pitzen was at the table. So was his old sparring mate, Liz Wirch (daughter of the famous Joe E. (Bullet Joe) Miller. Joe had a fast ball like you wouldn't see every day. His daughter was a great cheerleader who gave opposition teams fits. Enjoyed having Everett Thomas and his wife come over to chat. Everett was an athlete at McHenry High in the days when Gordan Stringer was coach. Then he played for "Mac" McCracken. It is just possible that he was AWOL from classes the day the White Sox appeared at Johnsburg. Twas a big day. the hour is late and my eyelids are drooping. There is a deadline to meet in the morning.

Proctice Limited to Ort*>opo«d*c Surgery Hours by Appointment Locution of Office: 1110 North Groon Stroot McHunry, Illinois 60050 Phono: (015) 305-1050 McHenry Comeback Falls Short 14-12 Four weeks into what is rapidly turning into the season that could have been, several things are becoming evident about the McHenry Warrior football team. Certainly, it was evident to the very few who braved a torrential downpour to watch the Warriors lose to Mundelein 14-12 Friday night that McHenry has a bonafide passing threat in the Pete Prust to Marty Nuss combination. That duo teamed up eight times in Friday's loss, including two that went for touchdowns. But just as evident as the passing threat, is the lade of consistency which has plagued McHenry all season. Hie Warriors seem able to put together two consecutive halves of good football Only when the halves are separated by five school days and a weekend. The lack of consistency proved fatal Friday night, as McHenry fell behind 14-0, then ran out of time before it had a realistic chance to pull the game out. The Warriors also continue to have trouble moving the football via the rush, gaining just 37 yards in 24 attempts against Mundelein. Yet, the offensive line continues to perform brilliantly when it is called on to protect Prust on a pass plays. Prust's No. 12 was the only number visible through much of Friday's 'mud bowl', evidence that the Warrior offensive line kept their quarterback off his back. It was that good pass protection that gave Prust the time to rally McHenry in the final 12 minutes, only to fall short when neither two-point conversion attempt following Warrior touchdowns was successful. If ever the score didn't reflect the true picture of the game, it occurred during the first half. Mundelein went into the locker room at the half lea (ting 6-0. although the statistics indicated that it was t much worse. The Mustangs, who had used the shotgun offensive formation all season, abandoned it entirely Friday, and it apparently caught McHenry by surprise. Mundelein gained 10 first downs in the opening two quarters, to just one for McHenry, outgained the Warriors 201-24 in total offense, and ran 40 plays to just 15 for McHenry. Yet, the Mustangs led just 6-0, thanks mainly to a Warrior defense which bent, but didn't break The Mustangs only score came following a Warrior fumble on its own 26-yard line, one of nine times the wet ball slipped from a pair of McHenry hands. Fortunately, only three of the fumbles were recovered by Mundelein. Hie first Mustang touchdown was scored by Gene Evans on a seven-yard run, and he scored again, late in the third quarter on a 35-yard pass from Mike Welch. Welch then connected with Dave Endres for the two-point conversion which turned out to be the margin of victory. McHenry didn't begin to move the ball effectively until the final ten minutes. Prust threw a total of 18 times in the game, 10 of them in the final period when McHenry scored its two touchdowns. The first score came with 6:13 remaining, when the junior quarterback teamed with Nuss on a 16-yard pass. The drive totaled 63 yards, and took nine plays, eight of them passes. Following the kickoff, McHenry received its only break of the night, when, from punt formation, a bad snap resulted in the Mustang punter fumbling the ball, setting the Warriors up on the Mundelein 15-yard line. It took just one play for Prust to hit Nuss in the end rone, to bring the score to 14-12 vftth 1:58 remaining, and set up the possibility of a two-point conversion and an overtime. It wasn't to be. A pass fell short of the intended recover in the end zone, and when an onside kick failed, McHenry would have just one more chance, with no timeouts remaining That chance evaporated when a penalty and a passing interception on consecutive plays ended the contest with the Warriors on the short end of the 14-12 score. McHenry is now 0-2 in the North Suburban conference, and 1-3 overall. Mundelein is l-l in the NSC, and 2-2 overall. In the sophomore contest, the Mustangs and Warriors struggled to a scoreless tie.
