It78 Warriors Spoil Cards Homecoming 21 - 8 By Dick Raobitt The McHenry High "Fighting Warriors", playing their best game of the season, put a damper on the Dundee Car- duals' homecoming by winning 21 to 8 It was a complete tur naround from the Woodstock game last week The Warriors ran, blocked, and tackled, along with being alert enough to recover five Dundee fum- * bles Three of the recoveries led to Warriors scores The first half was probably the finest half a McHenry team has performed in several seasons as they scored all of their 21 points The Warriors kicked off to the Cards, and on the first series of downs held, and forced Dundee to punt to the Warrior 43 Likewise the Cards dug in, and with the aid of two penalties against the Warriors forced them to kick to the Card 21. After a first down. Mike Mroz fell on a Card fumble (the first of five the Warriors recovered) on the Card 38 Prust then passed to Greg Mroz good for a first down on the Card 18 After a another penalty against the Warriors, the Cards were guilty of pass interference on the 8 Another penalty set the Warriors back to the 13, but then halfback Jim Wilson ran off tackle, shook off two tacklers and raced into the end zone for the first score of the game Mike Mroz's kick was good and the Warriors led 7 to 0 with 2:30 remaining in the initial period On the kickoff, Schwartz, Dundee fullback, ran the ball back into Warrior territory, but the run was nullified by a clipping penalty, setting the bail back on the Card 40. On the first play, the Warriors again recovered a fumble, Dave Lundborg. being the hero this time as the period ended Penalties Hurt Again penalties set the Warriors back and they were forced to punt to the Card 42 On the next play Eddie Hughes recovered another Card fumble on the 41 A pass to Nowell was good for 9, and Vogt made the first down on the Card 26 A Prust to Zeller pass was good on the 4 yd line Two plays later Prust went into the end zone from the one yard line, and Mroz again kicked the PAT and the Warriors led 14 to 0 at 5 30 of the period The Warriors kicked to the Card 30 Two plays later the Cards had the ball on the Warrior 35 as the result of two completed passes On the next play the entire Warrior defensive line broke through and threw DeMein, the Card quarterback, for a loss and he fumbled on the play again recovered by the Warriors on the 49 A Prust to Nowell pass was good to the Card 30 A Prust to Greg Mroz pass was good to the Card 17 Two passes to Nowell gave the Warriors the ball on Dundee's one yard line Vogt scored on the next play, and Mroz again kicked the PAT and with 1 00 remaining in the half the Warriors led 21 to 0. On tW» first play after the kickoff the Warriors in­ tercepted a Card pass and ran out the clock It was the comment of many Warrior fans, just how long it has been since the Warriors led by 21 points at halftime The early going of the third period was all Dundee They came out of the locker room with fire in their eyes Taking over after the Warriors were forced to punt the Cards began an 80 yd march, helped by a 15 yrd Warrior penalty Schartz Shows Power Jim Schwartz, senior fullback, literally ran over the Warriors as he went time and time again for long yardage, finally scooting 22 yards for the score Lasher's run was good for the PAT and the Warriors were up 21 to 8, with 6:00 left in the third period A few minutes later the Cards intercepted a Prust pass on the Warrior 40 Three plays later they had the ball on the Warriors 18. but the Warriors dug in and held and took over The remainder of the game was played between the 30 yd lines, except in the last minute the Warriors were deep in Card territory within the 10 yd line, and actually got to the 1, but again penalties cost them yardage, and time ran out with the Warriors on the long end of a 21 to 8 score The defense was outstanding except for a brief time in the third period Mike Morz, Rich Sund. Dave Lundborg. Ed Walker the front four of the steller defenive line, along with Jim Althoff. offensive center Backs Nick Whipper. Tim Sabatka, Eddie Hughes. Pete Prust. Tony Sroka all did an excellent job of holding the Cards at bay There was no question of who was the better team The Warriors did what was ex­ pected of them in every way They must, however, cut down on those unnecessary penalties It was a happy Bill Day after the game He had nothing but praise for his entire team, and commented "we are beginning to look like a football team ' This week the Warriors will have another conference game on tap It's Homecoming at McHenry and the Jacobs Golden Eagles will be in town Let s get out and root the team on to another victory.

I will not break training, for the satisfactions of achievement are more durable than the satisfactions of appetite. 2.1 will not give up in the midst of a contest just because I may be, at the moment, tired or discouraged, for, save in the rare instances of utter exhaustion, there are always untapped levels of energy upon which men may call, and I am honor bound to m> fellow players to give to the contest the untapped levels as well as the surface layer of my energy 3.1 will subordinate my playing to the playing of the team, for 1 have no right to let my vanity stand in the way of victory, to sacrifice sportsmanship for the spotlight, or to trade group achievement for personal applause 4. I will keep my head, however hard 1 am hit, for to lose my temper is treason to the team, since I cannot have a cool head and a hot temper at the same time 5.1 will be modest in victory, knowing that if I have kept the faith of the sportsman in play, the victory is but the common product of the combined play of my fellows, even if I gave a star performance at a critical moment, and knowing that the moment of victory is life's severest test of a man's character 6 I will be game in defeat, for only the weakling whines when fortunes of contest run against him OUT OF THE INKWELL...Skyhawk quarterback Mike Behan is in McHenry Hospital recovering from serious injuries received more than a week ago at North Boone Mike was hit hard by a North Boone tackle, but neither he nor his coaches knew the extent of his injuries Mike, who issues no complaints when he is in pain, saw further action later in the game and went through several days of practice last week before it was discovered he had fractured a rib. The fractured rib caused internal bleeding, and Mike was operated on Thursday night The Johnsburg star missed the Homecoming game and activities His classmates, voting prior to any knowledge of Mike's injury, elected him Homecoming King He is expected to be released from the hospital in another week The loss of Behan for the remainder of the season will badly hurt the Johnsburg club His quart erbacking talents and leadership will be sorely missed Marian Outdoorsmen Climb Bluffs At Devil's Lake, Wis.
