BASEBALL * * * BY PETE FRITCHIE WASHINGTON, D. C. -- Rod Carew will make the Los Angeles Angels a more inter­ esting ball club. They may now beat out Kansas City with him, but their bad luck was that they lost Lyman. Bostock, after paying a tidy sum for him, in 1978. With both of them the club would be even stronger. Gene Autry can be excused for hoping the club will beat out the Yankees for the A.L. flag and then win the World Series. Carew, however, prob­ ably won't, make that much difference. He isn't the type ballplayer to win games with home runs, though he may be the best hitter in baseball, as claimed. Cal Griffith didn't get any money. Sloppy reporting, again, by the wire services, had him getting either $200,- 000 or $400,000, whichever un­ true story one read. He got four players only. The Angels rightly felt paying Carew $4,000,000 over the next five years was enough. Two Major Leaguers, pitcher Paul Hart- zell and outfielder Ken Landreaux, and two minor leaguers, Brad Havens and Dave Engle were the other end of the trade. For baseball, it's good the deal is over. Carew made some poor remarks. Griffith made a few aimed at Carew. Carew blasted the fans in New York, calling that city a zoo. Etc. In the end, Carew came out fabulously financed. He may not be worth $4 million over the next five years. Who would be? End Regular Season Running Tigers Out Of Fieldhouse By Dick Rabbitt ' The McHenry High Warriors finished the regular season in fine style as they defeated Crystal Lake Central in the Tiger fieldhouse 72 to 54. It was a close contest during the first half, but an outbreak of eight unanswered points in the opening minutes of the third period sealed the doom of the Tigers, as the Warriors literally ran the Tigers out of their own gym. Both teams used spurts as the outset of the game. The Tigers jumped out to a 4 to 0 lead, but Sroka, Jensen and Bob Zeller brought the Warriors to a 6 to 4 lead. The Tigers then responded going up by 5, but Tim Zeller took over and scored the remaining 8 points of the period for the Warriors as they trailed 15 to 14. Barry Anderson's two charity tosses and Bob Zeller's 15 footer had the Warriors ahead again, but the Tigers struck back to regain the lead. After Tim Zeller tied it with a free throw at 21, he stole an inbound pass for another quick basket to put the Warriors ahead 23 to 21, and that was as close as the Tigers were the rest of the evening. The Warriors increased their lead to 33 to 29 at the in­ termission. The story in the first half was the rebounding of the Warriors. They led in this department 17 to 6, and most of the rebounds were off the of­ fensive board. In the opening minutes of the third period, the Zeller brothers, Thomas and Sroka all scored and the Warriors were up by 42, 41 to 29. They hit a short stump, but recovered to lead 50-42 going into the final period. The final period was a cakewalk for the Warriors. The better conditioned Warriors began to run and gun, and the tired Tigers could not keep up the pace. With 2:30 remaining the Warriors had their biggest lead of the night 66 to 47, and won the game easily 72 to 54. Coach Ken Ludwig cleared the bench, and the whole squad saw action. The Warriors are 6 and 8 in the FVC and 9 and 14 for the season. Tonight, they play Hononegah of Rockton at Belvidere in the Regional. Game time is 7:30 p.m. Sroka Jensen Bitterman Anderson Glossen Conway Condon 8 11 3 10 2 1 0 Totals: 28 16 72 McHENRY Nelson Bertram Pence Statter Graves Heinkel Schafer Totals: CRYSTAL LAKE CENTRAL fg 11 8 1 3 1 0 0 2 tp 5 2 8 30 5 2 2 19 16 54 T Zeller B.

Saturday, Tim Zeller was the only Warrior to be named to the Fox Valley All-Conference team.

STAFF PHOTO-JOE DEHN hv Randy Swikle m ^ m -- Western apparel seems to be vogue at Johnsburg High Schooi these days. Dozens of Skyhawk basketball fans have been wearing cowboy hats and other garments of a Western theme as they have cheered their favorite team to victory. X Even Johnsburg superintendent of schools Dr. Duane Andreas' was seen wearing a cowboy hat to the championship game of tl)e; Harvard Regional Friday night. The idea of wearing cowboy hats to the games seems to have hab­ its origin with a group of Johnsburg students who have formed anr! enthusiastic cheering section known as "The Rowdies". Thr^a schools in the Shark Conference have Indians as Mascots!: Marengo, South Beloit, and Hononegah. The Johnsburg students apparently felt that the cowboy hattj would help to provide a colorful contrast between the two cheering^ sections at ball games. The hats seem to have become a symbol of- Johnsburg spirit. Some of the students even got together to buy Skyhawk coa<3v Bob Kies a hat, which he has worn at eafeh game since receiving it. Friday night a good section of Harvard's cheering section walked across the basketball court to form a tunnel for their players right in front of the Johnsburg Cheering section. -> The idea was obviously to upstage and perhaps "psych out" the Johnsbrg team and fans The Hornets couldn't use the "spotlight, routine" to introduce their players because such antics are* prohibited by the IHSAA in tournament competition. But it was the Harvard crowd that was upstaged in pre-game- activities, and by none other than Coach Kies. Twenty seconds- before the game was to start, his Skyhawks remained in the locker' room and Coach Kies walked onto the gym floor in front of the Skyhawk cheering section. His appearance sent 600 Johnsburg fans to their feet roaring with approval. And when he lifted his Western hat to signal his team to enter the gymnasium the Johnsburg fans made more noise than a stampede of wild buffaloes. And now the Johnsburg community, cowboy hats and all, hits the Oregon Trail to follow its team into battle with the Marengo Indians. OL'T OF THE INKWELL...Andy Oakley, former Johnsburg resident who starred in cross country and track at McHenry High School, has been chosen as one of five finalist to represent Illinois in carrying the Olympic Torch to the 1980 winter Olympic games at Lake Placid, New York. Oakley, a junior at Northwestern University on a track scholarship, runs 15 miles a day while working this winter as an intern for the Lafayette Journal and Courier. He reports that the Torch is lighted in Athens and carried here by boat landing in North Carolina. Fifty-two people-one from each state, one from the Olympic committee, and one from Lake Placid;" half men and half women-carry the Torch to New York. Oakley is being interviewed this month and will learn shortly if- he gets to carry the Torch. ...It was in 1977 that Coach Bob Kies brought his Beloit Catholic team to the Wisconsin State Championship for Class B, Independent Schools. This year the Beloit Crusaders made the journey again but had to settle for second place. Coach Kies and his family attended the games last weekend to cheer his former team to victory. ...Coach Kies calls them the "bookends". Chris Dixon and Grayslake transfer student Kurt Valentin look so much alike they could be brothers, according to Coach Kies. Several fans agree. Valentin has been a tremendous asset to the Skyhawk club since joining the team in January. He has very good basketball sense and chooses his shots wisely. He, like Dixon, is an excellent ball handler and team player. ...Tickets for the Oregon Sectional have been on sale at Johnsburg High School during school hours. There are plans to .charter a bus for adult fans. Those persons interested are requested to contact athletic director Jim Meyers at the high school. SWISH-Johnsburg center Don Bentz fires in this eight-foot swish to action in Friday's regional championship against Harvard. Bentz had 14 points to help the first-year Skyhawks to the regional championship, 62-48 over the Hornets. Scott Dixon (far right, 22) paced the victors with 16 points, while Tom Schoenig (40) contributed seven points. The Skyhawks now take an eight-game winning streak and a 22-5 record to the Oregon sectional where they meet Marengo Wednesday night. Earlier this year, Johnsburg lost to Marengo at Marengo by three points, but later in the year avenged that loss with a three point win at Johnsburg. The first stewardess was Miss Ellen Church, a registered nurse, who welcomed 11 passengers aboard a flight from Oakland, Calif., to Cheyenne, Wyo. in 1930. flSHIN' TIPS from . . . Tom Mann One of the most asked ques­ tions in fishing clinics is: "How does a fisherman know which color lure to use when there are dozens to choose from? Does it really make that much difference to a fish?" Well, I know it's confusing to a beginner but let me assure you that a selection of colors is im­ portant. You see, a fish's eye is made like ours, of rods and cones, and contains a substance called rhodopsin which color-blind peo­ ple lack. So, fish can see not only color but tests show they can dis­ tinguish shades of colors. No one is smart enough to know which color the fish are go­ ing to hit. Many things enter into it such as how much light there is where the fish are, water clarity, sun angles, etc. So, I begin with basic patterns like natural scales, yellows, shad, coachdog, chrome, and black. I keep changing and let the fish tell me which one they want. When the water gets real dingy, or turbid, I think sound instead of color and use noisy lures that rattle, or those that have a vibrating spinner on the tail. Fish hear these and locate them through sonar sense. BRER TOM'S CLOSING Til': Remember, you will have good fishing days and bad ones. If it weren't for the bad ones the good ones wouldn't be nearly so much fun! Auto Service Tips Cl«an Battery Cable Corrosion on battery cable and terminals can block flow of electricity. Keeping them clean is easy, with wire brush or sandpaper. Always use gloves. Use a solution of 1 tablespoon baking powder to 1 cup water. Clean with damp rag. Be sure to re-attach cables tightly, apply light coat of spray lubricant to provide protection against additional corrosion.
