PAGE • - PLAINHE ALER - WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3.It7t_ SPORTS EARL WALSH So I Hear SPORTS EDITOR-- * The regular season of baseball in the big time came to an end Sunday. Now for the play-offs and the World Series. There are some of our dear readers who won't admit reading in this column at the start of the season that the Pittsburgh Pirates would win their division title. Everybody told us it would be Philadelphia, especially after acquiring Pete Rose. ft, was our good fortune to watch the Pirates in spring training. They had it all. But, it was a real squeaker. Montreal held it all in suspense right through the last day. i Maybe some of you knew that torifreal was so good. Must .that I didn't expect to see t going down to the wire. I|* Ot|r White Sox were never in ie 'r&ce. If only they had puLit all together in the first part of the season like they did in recent weeks, you might have read some crowing in this corner. For both the Cubs and Sox, we sing that old refrain -- wait 'til next year. We enjoyed gathering with members of the Plaindealer crew and many others Saturday as Nancy Wagner of the advertising departmeni became Mrs. Robert Treese, Jr. The ceremony was ira pressive and the recrnti0n following the knot tiein6 was fun filled. We wish this happy twosome a good and wholesome life together. The radio report of the Warrior - Blue Streaks on the gridiron Friday night held my attention all the way. } The Warriors are an in- jj teresting team in spite of t losses. But for a couple of I "IFS" they could have Won that game at Woodstock. Now comes Homecoming. Dundee will be here Friday night for a game that all McHenry hopes to win. Dennis Welter of the MCHS staff is trying to stir up interest among the Old Grads for this '79 homecoming. Just for the records, Dennis would like to find out who the oldest liying grad of McHenry High might be. That doesn't necessarily mean the oldest person in years. It is a question of the earliest year of graduation. I have some names in mind. How about giving me a call? From Ireland came a card to our home from Bob and Rosemary Blake. Bob says he checked the records and found out that I had kissed the Blarney Stone 14 times, adding-- "So that's your secret." The weather report from Ireland is -- "This week it has * only rained twice -- once for three days and then for four days." Also had a note on the wet­ ness of the Irish Pubs. The Cubs and Pittsburgh were crossing bats in a very important game that might '"ave ' d some bearing on the i enna; ^ut all was quiet at the Longhni n No TV. Jim Freurd must have thought the season was over. A line too often heard in football broadcasts-- straight up the middle and stopped at the line of scrimmage. Met a friendly fellow named Gus Poulas and learned he is both a McHenryite and a Sox fan. That's a good combination. PUZZLE -- Why does a fellow always get in the slow line at a bank drive- in, teller's window or a traffic lane? Montini Boys Softball Team Handed First Loss Of Year Montini's Boys Softball team was handed their first defeat of the year 16 to 4. Montini's defense gave them the game making one error after another. However, two homeruns were hit - Bill Sch- mitt's first and Jim Jablonski's fourth of the year. The team plans on revenging this loss next week in their final game against Hebron, Wed., Oct. 3, at A.P. Freund field. POOL CLOSING West campus pool will be closed Thursday, Oct. 4, due "to the Homecoming bonfire. HOMECOMING] FRI GOOD LUCK McHENRY WARRIORS!

STAFF PHOTOS-WAYNE GAYLORD' Warriors Drop Thriller To Blue Streaks 21-12 By Dick Rabbitt The Woodstock Blue Streaks may have won the game, but the McHenry Warriors won the hearts of the fans who attended the game Friday night at Woodstock. The Warriors dominated the play, and it wasn't until thirty- eight seconds remaining in the ball game when Brad Downing Blue Streak halfback scam­ pered 38 yds. for a T.D. that the issue was no longer in doubt. The 21 to 12 Streak victory by no means tells the story of the underdog, outweighed, and outmanned, but not outfought Warriors. But for a fumble, and a mixup on a play the Warriors would have walked off the field a victory last Friday night. However, as Coach Schlender said after the game, "that is a part of football, and there is nothing you £an do about it". The Warriors defense for the first time this season had a chance to breathe. The offensive unit ran off 74 plays to the Streaks 41, held the Streak passing attack to a net zero yardage, held Jon Hansen their top running back to a minus 8 yds. in the second half, but couldn't put the ball across from both the 4 yd. line and 6 yd. line when they had the opportunity. FORCE A PUNT The Warriors kicked off to the Streak 32. After a Streak first down, the Warriors dug in and forced a punt. Taking over in their own territory the Warriors were unable to gain, and when Wilson the Warrior punter couldn't get a handle on the ball the Streaks recovered on the Warrior 12. Two plays later Hansen ran it in for the score from the 4. The PAT was good and the Streaks led 7 to 0 with 9:43 remaining in the period. Taking the kickoff on their own 30 the Warriors with Tim Sabatka at the helm mixing up his plays well passed a beauty to Jim Frantz who raced 37 yds. for the score. The kick failed and the Warriors trailed 7 to 6 midway in the opening period. Later in the period Sabatka found Tim Klapperich open on the Warrior 26, and it looked as if the Warriors were on the move. A pass interference by a Streak back gave the Warriors the ball on the 11. A pass to Mroz was good on the two, but one play later a Warrior fumble ended all hopes for a score, and the Streaks took over deep in their own territory. The Warriors recovered a Streak fumble on the Streak 43. The Warriors marched to the Streak 19, where a Sabatka pass was intercepted on the Streak 7 ending another Warrior drive. The Streaks marched to the Warrior 20, but again the gallant defense came to the rescue and held for the Warriors. The Warriors started another march but the Hilf ended with the Warriors at the ' Streak 30 yd. line; ^ ' After the kickoff the Warriors held, and forced another punt, this time taking over on their own 35. A fumble recovered by the Streaks on the Warriors 24 led to Downing scoring in two plays for the Streaks. The PAT was good and the Streaks led 14 to 6, with 9:12 left in the 3rd period. TURN THE TABLES After another Sabatka pass was intercepted, the Warriors thrned the tables by in- terceptings a Streak pass on the first play at the Warrior 27. Sabatka took to the airlanes and his 21 yd. pass to Tim Klapperich gave the Warriors a first down. Three plays later the Warriors recovered a Streak fumble on a punt at the Streak's 25. Three plays later Sabatka found Jim Frantz all alone in the end zone for the score. The PAT failed and the Warriors trailed 14 to 6 going into the final period. During the final period neither team could muster an offense as both teams played within the 30 yd. lines, until 38 seconds remaining Downing raced around left end and with good blocking ran into the end zone for the final score. It was a tough one for the Warriors to lose. They played their hearts out, they were knocking on the door several times, but just couldn't come up with the big play. The Warriors defense for the 4th time this season played outstanding ball. They held the Streaks at bay for most of the evening, and the gang tackling was a pleasure to see. Tim Sabatka had his greatest night as a Warrior. The senior quarterback completed 17 of 44 for 185 yds. His 17 completions is a new conference record, breaking Tom Pence's 11 completions against the Warriors last season. _ With homecoming on tap Friday night, and the Dundee Cardun^te the vistiors, the Warriors vvfill be going all out to show tne grads they are for real this season. You can bet the coaching staff will remind them that it has been a long dry spell for a homecoming victory, and Friday night is the time to break the string.
