Sports Ink by Randy Swikle mm J°^'s 80ph°more f°°tball team has lost the first five uHSffl season by scores of 26-0, 38-0, 44-0, 52-0 and 62-0. 5K the scores alone, it looks like a pigskin version of the Tne Baa News Bears". ,,i2?L!o!Liimilarity between the Skyhawk squad and the ^T2S.ir!tmoraltsa,ggin«,ittle lea8"era of the popular movie ends right there-with the lopsided scores. When the sophomore Skyhawks enter the football field, they neither look nor act like losers. Many teams with more impressive records could learn a lesson from the perseverance of the Johnsburg squad. Regardless of the odas against them, these sophomores perform with an enthusiasm tnat leaves no hint of a morale problem. Quite the contrary, by the excitement generated among the players and by the cohesiveness of the team, morale seems to be quite good. The odds against the young Skyhawks in their first football ff®?0? areenormous. The team is inexperienced and has been hurt by injuries. 0 Only fair Payers saw any action at all last year. Tackles, Paul Wills and Mark Fluger, halfback, Phil Kalsch, and certer, Dan £arem«|' n®" »mited experience playing for McHenry's "B" team. The lack of team experience is evident by the assortment of mistakes made during each game. The mistakes have cost the Skyhawks dearly-in yardage and in points. . Zarembe was injured in the second game and may be out for the rest of the season. David Brenner is also on the disability list with an injury. The loss of these two players has been a big setback to the team. Perhaps even more critical is the absence of quarterback Randy Wakitsch. He was elevated to the varsity squad last week to help fill the gap created by the loss of senior quarterback, Mike Behan, who was injured and will miss the remainder of the season. Randy will be one of the best quarterbacks in the conference if he wakes up to his potential", declares sophomore coach Roger Ludwig "With the experience he is gaining now, he can be outstanding for the varsity next year". Ludwig has moved a few freshmen up to the sophomore team. Among them is talented fullback and middle linebacker, Pat Rorig. In five games Rorig has rushed for close to 400 yards. Ludwig feels he is the best freshman in the conference. The squad is also getting considerable help from sophomore David Mauer, the linebacker who leads the team in tackles a ball game, a very commendable feat. Despite the errors of inexperience and other setbacks, the sophomore players seem to bounce right back with a drive and determination that is inspirational. These kids have my total respect, says Ludwig. I have to admire them. They get hit hard, but they keep coming back. I haven't had one player quite on me" Sometimes losers win, and sometimes winners lose. A knowledgeable sports person does not measure the performance of an athlete on a team simply by observing the scoreboard. Contests have been won by athletes who, by the nature of poor sportsmanship or mediocre effort-are losers. Contests have been lost by athletes who, by the nature of their temperament and their pursuit of excellence, are winners. Johnsburg's sophomore squad may be losing some football games, but the athletes who compose the team are not losers. In their performance they look like winnters and act like winners. Most of them are winners. OUT OF THE INKWELL...The Johnsburg High School Booster club meets Tuesday, Oct. 24, at 7:30 p.m. in the high school. Parents are invited to join.

I CHAPEL HILL I SUNDAY ; SWIN6ERS Hard Running Marengo Gridders Down Skyhawks By Scott Dixon The Johnsburg Skyhawks, still without the services of quarterback Mike Behan, lost to a run-oriented Marengo team 20-8. The game was marred by eight fumbles, including six by the Skyhawks. Four were made by Johnsburg in the- first quarter. Both teams changed possessions frequently throughout the initial quarter. Late in the quarter, Marengo started a drive downfield that ended in a Indian touchdown with 0:35 seconds gone in the second period. Marengo halfback Jon Sweat went over to score from three yards out. The extra-point kick was good and the Indians led 7-0. The Skyhawks offense couldn't gain any yardage, and sputtered throughout the first half. Johnsburg quarterback Randy Wakitsch, a sophomore brought up to replace the in­ jured Behan, completed a 24- yard pass to Rich Backs, but time ran out and the Indians took a 7-0 half time lead. A Skyhawk fumble led to another Sweat touchdown with 4:06 remaining in the third quarter. This time the 180- pound senior carried the ball in from 10-yards out. Marengo led 14-0 after the extra-point kick attempt was complete. Skyhawk senior quarterback John Flood took charge of the offense right before the end of the third quarter. After punts by both teams, Johnsburg recovered an Indian fumble. The drive was quickly halted when Marengo's Pat Williams picked off a Flood aerial and ran 25 yards for a final Indian score The extra-point kick failed however, and with three minutes left in the game Marengo held a 20-0 lead Johnsburg's only score of the game came with less than a minute remaining. Mike Ahlert's option-pass play was complete to Rick Szumlas for 40 yards and the touchdown. Flood's pass to Don Bentz was complete for Johnsburg's first two-point conversion of the season. The Skyhawks will play at Valley Lutheran this Saturday.

Brrr It didn't make any difference to the Sunday Swingers who held their "Swinging Out" event Sat., Oct. 7 at noon with nine holes of "straight" golf and five (nine were planned but it was too cold) holes of "goofy" golf. I would rather call it "adverse conditions" golf because there was nothing "goofy" in the thought that went into preparation of the "fun<?)" back nine. The entire com­ mittee could not be present for this and Jane Lowrey set the back nine up by herself , and did a fantastic job! We all really had a oall. Prizes were awarded for the year, and of course special prizes for the events of the seventh. Phil Wieck took first prize for the front nine, low gross, 38. Shirley (Awesome) Dawson took first for the women on th£ front nine, low gross 52 With everyone shivering, and teeth chattering, I think the scores were pretty darn good. It's pretty hard to get a good drive or chip shot when your hands are stinging from the cold. For the back nine, despite all the hazards, Iden Weeks and Dee Schuette came in with better scores than they had on the front nine' Wonder what that means in terms of golf form, etc" Dinner was held in the "Flower room" and the table page 7 - plaind.:alfk - looked just beautiful Glenda Wieck, Shirley Dawson and (Bonnie) Connie Marshall were responsible for the very pretty flower arrangements and place cards. Two of the flower arrangements were given as door prizes and the centerpiece was given to Dee Schuette for her efforts on behalf of the club as this year's chairwoman Daisy Weeks and Dottie Hayes did an exceptionally fine job of selecting the prizes for the year, and Daisy made a mo$t unique centerpiece for the prize table which I was secretly hoping she would present to me. but she didn't I tell you that gal has talent! Between her singing, imitation of a baby crying and art work, well! Bill Hayes t gave the treasurer's report, with humor, and we all felt he did a fine job of handling the money this year Jane Switzer. having been asked to serve on the nominating committee for next year's officers, side stepped that little chore neatly by making a motion that the league continue next year with the same officers. This was seconded by Dottie Hayes, the treasurer's wife (you don't suppose-no i. Bill accepted gracefully, and Dee Schuette as well. Plans were made to attend Dinner-Theatre at Andre's Steak House on Nov 17 and eighteen members have signed up to attend this first, of I hope many, winter event.
