Michele Stilling Wins Gold Medal In Wisconsin State Gymnastics Tournament Michele Stilling has won a gold medal in the Wisconsin Gymnastics Class B State tournament. Before a standing room only crowd Saturday night at Waukesha south high school, Michele captured the state tournament highest award in the balance beam competition. Michele and her sister, Sandy, helped pace their Lake Mills high school team to a fifth place finish in the state tour­ nament. It was during the team competition Saturday af­ ternoon that Michele qualified for the finals. It was an impressive victory at the Elkorn Sectional that sent Lake Mills to the state tournament at Waukesha. Sandy turned in a fine score on the uneven bars and Michele won the balance beam com­ petition to help their team win the sectional crown. Michele, a senior, and Sandy, a junior, are the daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Harold J. Stilling, formerly of McHenry BOXING * * * By Pete Fritchie WASHINGTON, D. C. -- The big question produced by the recent Shavers-Ali heavy­ weight go is when,' not if, Muhamad Ali will retire. Ali showed he could take a punch in that fight. But he took too many, and he was hurt, espe­ cially in rounds 2 and 14. Shavers did all the stalking and he hit Ali Sbme solid shots, which reminds one of the Ali camp line after Joe Frazier had licked him--that Joe took more punishment in winning than Ali had. Ali came out of the Shavers fight hurt worse than Ernie, though he won. Ali will probably hang the gloves up by next year. He is unlikely to fight a hitter like Shavers again though his next bout could be in November. - Media coverage of the Shavers fight was thin. The real story was that Ernie Shavers almost got the champ and had him groggy in round 14. Television commentary and the A.P. story after the fight were equally poor. It was great footwork and dancing on the part of Ali, but Shavers was quietly in command most of the way, thinking he was winning. Shavers' corner didn't check to get the official score, announced after each round' GUEST SPEAKER-Rev. Vincent Fish, retired Episcopal priest, was guest speaker when the Episcopal Church Women met at St. Paul's parish hall last week. "Death and Dying" was the topic of the program and a stimulating question and answer period confirmed the interest of his listeners. Fr. Fish is a frequent visitor at local hospitals, communicating with patients and their families. BASEBALL * * * By Pete Fritchie TAMPA, FLA. -- Leonard Kopplett of the New York Times recently proved in a seriously researched sports study that money didn't buy winners in the Major Leagues last year. Now come the figures of the Players Association, pub­ lished in the Los Angeles Times--showing what clubs spent the most money on sal­ aries. Who's at the top? Philadelphia (approximately $3.5 million), New York ($3.4), Cincinnati ($2.7), Pittsburgh ($2.5), Los Angeles ($2.4), California ($2.4), Kansas City ($2.4), San Francisco ($2.2), Texas ($2.1), Boston ($1.9), etc. The top spending ten clubs include both World Series con­ tenders. plus both playoff losers-Philadelphia and Kan­ sas City. Coincidence? Maybe. Interestingly, two teams which made a race of it in their divisions for a time-the Chicago White Sox and Min­ nesota Twins, were unable to spend with the leaders. The Twins were next to last of the 26 clubs ($0.95 million) and the Sox 18th ($1.6). Detroit--a good baseball city and franchise-had a pay­ roll of $1.6 million and was in 22nd place. California and New York will see their payrolls go up- also Los Angeles. The Yanks have obtained Andy Messer- smith. Rich Gossage and Rawly Eastwick, the Dodgers (so far) Terry Foster and the Angels Lyman Bostock. The Yankees will almost certainly be at the top in total salary next year. The Phillies, tops in i977, barely broke even financially, and only got into the black with payoff receipts! USE ANIMAL DRUGS WITH CARE Recent reports from the Food and Drug Administra­ tion show the rate of illegal sulfa residues in hogs is far higher than for any other drugs in any other food ani­ mals. FDA warns pork pro­ ducers that if this trend con­ tinues, it could force sulfa drugs off the market. When­ ever sulfa drugs are used or mixed into feed for hogs, be sure to read the label.

RICHMOND RD. (ROUTE 31 NORTH) McHENRY, ILL. On The Sidelines By Dick RabbHt The I.H.S.A. Sectional basketball tournament held at Rock Valley college in Rockford has to be the most disorganized tournament in the history of Illinois basketball. Never in over thirty years of attending basketball in the state series have I seen a more confused group of people running a tournament. The I.H.S.A. sets the pairings in regards to when the games are played. However, Rockford Boylan the tournament host, took upon itself the idea of running two games in one night. My first gripe is that no consideration was shown to the Warrior and Antioch fans. Night school was held at Rock Valley, and a number of parking lots usually reserved for the student body at night school, was not cleared of snow, thus leaving limited parking space. With Rockford East playing Rockford Auburn in the opening game of the evening all parking spaces were filled not only by the fans attending the game, but by the night school students. Second gripe was that Warrior fans when they entered the gym were not able to get into their seats, as the seats were held by the Rockford fans of both schools. It took some tough talk by Warrior fans to get into their seats, and I'm sure that some had to wait until the game was over. Third gripe, the Warrior game scheduled to start at 8:30 p.m. didn't get under way until about 9:30 p.m. This was due to the fact that Rockford East defeated Rockford Auburn 60 to 56 in overtime. The three minute overtime lasted a total of eleven minutes considering the fouls called and the numerous timeouts by the coaches. My fourth and final gripe is a personal one. Gary Gray and I had a chauffeur, George Cadotte by name. He would not let us out by the door, and as a result parked closer to Belvidere than we did the gym. For you fans that parked on the Mulford road, don't feel bad, we, too, had a twelve minute walk to the gym. For you parents who were upset by your offspring getting home after midnight they had no choice. The game started late, it was a long encounter, and the PAGE 7 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, MARCH 17, 1978 ride home throiich the shortcuts to Woodstock seemed awful long after a loss to Antioch. \ One consolation was that Greg Johnson the head man at West campus wrote a letter of protest to Rockford Boylan in regards to the late starting time of the tourney, especially when the following day is a day of school. My pick for the state tourney Thornton of Harvey has already been eliminated, so take your pick, the Held is wide open for this weekend. Congratulations to Doug Oeffling who has been named "Mr. Basketball" by the Warrior squad. Doug had a fine year and the spunky senior will be missed by all Warrior fans. Coach Dan Boland, track coach of the Warriors, has a squad working out in the gym getting ready for the outdoor season which he hopes to start in the very near future. v Likewise the "Crusher" Ken Swanson baseball coach ts getting his charges ready for the opening game on April 1. That is ifTwig Miller can get the snow off the field, and the likeable "Twig" has promised me that I will miss a golf o date, in order to see the Warrior opener. The McHenry county Basketball banquet will be held at Marian Central on Tuesday March 28. That night the top players of the county in Classes AA and A will be honored for their efforts this season. John McDougal the coach at Northern Illinois university will be the main speaker. We take you back to the 1969-70 season for the Warriors win over Barrington in this week's game of long ago. Jimmy Heard 6'6" Warrior center led all scorers with 25 pts in the win over Barrington 61 to 58. A last quarter rally won the game for the Warriors.
