FEBRUARY 7. 1979 Annual Ice Fishing Derby On Channel Lake Feb. 10-11 Ed Hughes Wrestles Way To Second Place In F.V.C. Tournament **************** * 5 » * * * At the first Fox Valley Conference wrestling tour­ nament at Woodstock last weekend, Ed Hughes made the best showing from the Warriors ranks, capturing the second place medal in the 155 weight class. Hughes, a junior, decisioned his Jacobs op­ ponent, Young, in the first round 6-5, won a 9-3 decision over Muscot of Dundee in the semi-final round and then lost the championship match 5-1 to Foster of Crown. Foster had a 19-4 record going into the tourney, compared to Hughes' 9-4-1 which he upped to 11-5-1. Fourth place medals were won for McHenry by Dave Ramer at 145 pounds and Tim Hocin in the unlimited class. Ramer, also a junior, scored a major decision over Tony Orozco of Crystal Lake Central in the first round, 10- 0. Rob Seymour of CroWn turned the tables on Ramer in the semi-final round, scoring a 12-4 major decision. Ramer pinned Suchy of Jacobs in the third period of his wrestle back match, then lost the consolation match to Janquart of Crystal Lake South, 9-4. Heavyweight Warrior Tim Hocin won his first round match on a forfeit. The McHenry senior was downed by Rood of Crown in the semi-final round by a 13-7 score but gained a first period fall over Buchanan of Jacobs in the wrestle backs. Jim Floyd of Crystal Lake South pinned Hocin in the third period of the consolation match. Hocin was a 7-9-0 overall record so far this season, as well as leading the team with the most falls. Rounding out the Warrior team for this conference tourney were Soctt Zim­ merman (98), Pat Haderly (105), Scott Schmitt (112), Brian Wrona (119), Vic Betancourt (126), Chris Buhrman (132), Junior Rivera (138), and Bob Roewer (167).

Mat action begins at 7 p.m. on Friday and continues at 1 p.m. Saturday with the finals at 7 p.m. Sports Ink by Randy Swikle At first the idea seemed quite preposterous. It was contrary to one of the most basic doctrines I have ever been taught about sports. But the man expressing the idea had some mighty good credentials, and that fact made it difficult to dismiss his opinions without giving them some serious consideration. James A. Michener, author of a score of best sellers including Hawaii and Centennial, is an avid sports enthusiast. His book Sports in America has been used as a test in many colleges and universities. Despite his praise of sports as a physical and social outlet, he vigorously rejects the theory that sports build character. "I do not believe sports builds character," he said in a story appearing in a national newspaper. "The evidence is overwhelming on that score. I think sports reveals character and offers an arena in which people of potentially strong character can enhance it. Sports can knock the rough edges off a person. But if a character comes into a sport weak, it deteriorates that character. "There are too many men who are heroes in college and high , school and everywhere else getting caught for peddling dope, ' stealing, and wrecking their lives and the lives of other people to know that sports is not an inoculation against weakness. Sports will uncover weakness if there's a basic flaw in character. "And I think for every marvelous example of what sports has done for a young man or young woman, there is another example of how it muddled up a life and left it without a central rudder, which seems to me a very terrible thing indeed. "I am very pro-sports, but I'm not overly sentimental about it. I could probably cite you 50 cases right now of really horrible examples of what has happened to young men-I don't know too much^about young women in this feild-whose values were perverted, aborted by the sports experience, and who never achievedthat liberating influence fellow like Roger Staubach, Dick Suspicious people are those who judge mankind by themselves.

"It goes both ways," he said. "If you're good, sports makes you better. But if you're on a borderline, it may destroy you." Upon reading Michener's notions, I had the initial tendency to reject them with little hesitation. I have grown up with sports as a central influence in my life. My father was Kankakee High School's head baseball coach for 24 years. Both my brother and sister have been coaches. Some of my closest friends have achieved considerable success in college and professional athletics. I had always attributed the sports experience as having played an extremely important role in their character development and the idea that sports does not build character seemed a complete contradiction of my personal observations. For some reason, however, I felt compelled to re-read Michener's statements several times and to searcfi for any evidence in my own experience which would lend validity to his contentions. One of my first realizations was the tremendous consistency I have observed in the temperament and behavior of athletes both on and off the playing field. Those who are dedicated to excellence and who are gentlemen in the sports arena generally display the same attributes in other pursuits as well. Those who are egoists and hotheads on the field display the same qualities off the field, and those who are satisfied to simply "get by" on talent derived from their physical nature are the same people who lack maximum dedication in other areas of interest. As a teacher, I have had the opportunity to observe athletes as they have progressed through school. I must confess that in retrospect I cannot recall many cases in which a boy's character as displayed in elementary school was significatnly different than his character as displayed in high school. And yet, at the majority of more than 30 sports banquets I have attended, at least one coach at each ceremony has suggested credit for turning boys into men, for building and strengthening the character of his players. Quite an admirable feat considering most sports seasons last only a few months. I wonder why classroom teachers don't make the same claim. Why doesn't the science teacher after a month long unit in sex p.m. on both days. This popular winter event will again offer seventeen major prizes in addition to hundreds of other prizes which "tire awarded to fishermen catching prize winning fish or contestants successfully participating in their individual events. There are ten different categories of fish in the prize winnings events including perch, sun fish, bass, crappies walleye pike, catfish, northern pike, stripers and blue giUs. and the lakes still have plenty of each of these types of fish. Additionally, there will be hourly prizes awarded for not only the fish catches, but also 30-minute awards to winners in sack races, three-legged races ice auger contests, egg throwing competition and, as in previous years, the very young children will scramble in straw piles for upwards of $35 in coins, a spectacle in itself worthy of attendance. The Midwest Sled Dog Club of Lake Villa will carry on demonstrations of dog races using Alaskan Malamutes and Siberian Huskies, which are both beautiful breeds of dogs Trip Tease Many people consider a travel brochure a trip tease. PUNCH LINE adults?" Perhaps Michener is right when he says that the sports experience can pervert the values of young people who lack strong character. Perhaps too many loaches are giving a false impression of what a "man" really is. I am not yet thoroughly convinced of Michener's belief that sports does not play an important role in building character, but I am beginning to entertain some doubts. I wonder if many of us are beginning to take too seriously the self-serving statements of many coaches who may have every good intention, but who also may occassionally be on an ego trip themselves. Parents logically seem to be the most important influence regarding the determination of a young person's character. And that determination may largely be realized during the first few days of a child's life. There is a case for Michener's contention that sports is a social event that reflects a person's character more than builds it.
