PAGE C • PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY. OCTOBER M, 1979 / EARL WALSH r So I Hear SPORTS EDITOR Now, that was real nice. A lady With a pleasing voice phoned to say she knew I missed the Lawrence Welk Show Sunday night. I sure did. The caller wanted me to know that the preempted show would be on the air Thursday night at 7 p.m. ling for time and trying to ize the voice did no good. I asked if I might ask who calling. - I'll never tell", was the answer. ' The voice seemed too young forgone of us Lawrence Welk fan| But. it made my day. At this*moment, the caller is the ret! Champagne Lady. We didn • that trip into Wisconsin this fat to see the trees in all their beauty so took short tours near home. ; Scenery through Bull Valley will take your fancy. And we get as f *'h as Lale Geneva Beauty is there to behold. Most people like the fall of the year, but don't like to think of w^at comes ne^t !t wis ovei 80 dogreas S'Tida" her one weath^rm ^ predicted tv e days of rair. - then added there was no snow in the forecast. So we turned on our air conditioner. Missed the last home football game and received a note from Dick Rabbitt letting me know that the final game of the season will be at home Nov. 2. Dick lets me know that at­ tendance at the final game is a "MUST". Of course, he added that Ken Ludwig missed the goodies I bring to the press coop. Our Gal Jean, the little girl at the front desk in the news room, will be moving into a new area after this week. We have seen many coworkers come and go through the years. It isn't easy to see them leave after you get to know them and like them. I'm going to miss Jean and her friendly smile in almost daily greetings. We had a lot of fun as she opened mail and gave me junk mail that I could not use on the sports page. "Brenda" and Marie (now a part timer) have lasted through the years. They will never fade away. Oi rime basketball players coul' believe a team could peer lil points and lose the ga: •<_*. That is what the Chicago Bulls did in losing to the Milwaukee Bucks by two points. In the days when the guards never moved beyond the center line, the center and forwards passed the ball around until they could get an open shot. Sometimes it took three or four games to total 111 points. Maybe more. TT*; _ » Now comes a request to reprint one of my efforts at poetry in the long ago -- the request is for "the one about the family in the fall of the year". This must be the one. When you're sitting 'round together Just the family round the hearth On the first cool night in autumn k After summer days of mirth It sort of gets you thinkin' of the worth while folks you meet And you get a closer feeling Toward your own dear ones and sweet. Whether conversation's lagging Or the room is full of talk Somehow you feel they're with you Through all of life's long walk. , Other folks are fascinating When the party's gay and loud But, somehow they're never near you When there's darkness and a cloud. Oh, I'm sure the family's closer On that first cool night in fall When the flames are dancing gayiy Spelling yarns of love to all. Taesday 7:Mp.tn. Leagae Over Average: W. Aylward. 424 (164); B.

The Baltimore Orioles, who have never gotten into the frenzy, walked away with the Ameri­ can League East. The Yankees, with all their expensive acquisitions, weren't close. In the National League, the Pittsburgh follow championship OPENING! Pirates, not among the clubs who have offered fabulous multi-year contracts to free agents, won their division. In the National West, the Cincinnati Reds even let Pete Rose go to the Phillies rather than compete in frantic mil­ lion-dollar contract bidding, and won without him. The Phillies, who plunked out all that money for Rose, failed miserably--when everyone was saying they had wrapped up the flag with the acquisition of Rose! Only the California Angels, among the big spenders, came through, and the Angels squeaked through, primarily because there was less tough opposition. Three of the four winners weren't big spenders, in 1979, which says some­ thing. 1. In what yeajf was the j "Model T" Md built? ! 2. Who was Noah Webster? 3.

Baml Last Chaue j Serving Dinners IHghtly 5 Homemade"Soips Every Weekend Coach Joe Schlender will take his McHenry High Warriors to Crystal Lake tonight to play the Crystal Lake South "Gators" ina FVC game. Both teams have identical records 1 and 4 in the con­ ference and 1 and 6 on the season. The Gators of Bob Hight are coming off a 26 to 0 win over Crown last Saturday. They have been a major, disap­ pointment according to Coach Hight this season. Led by defensive linebacker Tom Neustedter, an all conference selection, the Gators were expected to make waves in the Fox Valley this season. Injuries and suspensions have taken their toll on the Crystal Lake squad, and although they have had trouble winning, they like the Warriors have been in almost every game until the bitter end. The Murphy brothers alternate atf quar­ terback, and when Steve is at the helm, you can expect the airways to be filled with footballs. Brother John, is the running type of quarterback, and usually keeps the ball on the ground. The Warriors played a great game against a powerful Crystal Lake Central eleven last week. The Warriors have more than an adequate defense, but a breakaway runner is lacking in the Warrior attack. With no serious injuries last week, the Warriors should be at full strength tonight. With Tim Sabatka expecting to use the airlanes, we can again expect D'Angelo, Anderson, Mroz and Klapperich to be on the receiving end. With Jim Wilson and Hob Kalck running, it could be another thriller. Kickoff time is 8 p.m. The place is Metcalf Field in Crystal Lake. Let's go down the pike and back the Warriors.

STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD On The Sidelines ¥: •v. & ft £ >ji' • By Dick Rabbitt The football season is winding down, and state playoffs are on the minds of many coaches in the area. There is one at large berth given to Class 4-A. At the present time Crystal Lake Central, Jacobs, Woodstock, Ridgewood, which is an Independnet, are all in the running along with Antioch and Lake Zurich. Woodstock or Jacobs will be eliminated next week, when these two teams play at Jacobs. As it now looks outside of a conference champion, it will take an 8 and 1 record to qualify for the playoffs. The way it looks from this corner is that Crystal Lake Central and Woodstock will both finish 8 and 1. The Tigers beat the Streaks, so will qualify as conference champion. Ridgewood of Norridge has lost to a Class 5-A school Streamwood of the Upstate Eight conference. They must play Rantoul and West Leyden in their two remaining games. Woodstock has only a chance, provided Ridgewood loses one of their final two games, lite Streaks won over Marian Central a class 3-A school. That will cost them poipts in the long run. It doesn't seem fair, that two schools with a natural rivalry, and the larger of the two is penalized for winning, when it cranes to the playoffs. From reports that I have heard, Woodstock and Marian will not play one another next season. Maybe the I.H.S.A. will make up the difference in the gate receipts. A lot of bouquets this week to McHenry High School athletes. Chris Connell from the Field Hockey team was honored by the Chicago Tribune as their Field Hockey Player of the Week. The spunky little senior scored all the Warriors goals in two wins last week. Having watched Chris play I will have to concur with the Tribune on their choice. Earlier in the season Sue Hutchinson received a similiar honor. Last Saturday Sue won her second I.H.S.A. District title in a row in tennis at Round Lake. Sue qualified for the finals for the second year in a row. Also Nancy Glick another senior member of Gary Gray's tennis squad qualified for the state in Arlington Heights this weekend, the Warriors tennis team took second place for another first for a Warrior team. Chuck Cuda's golf team finished 14 and 4 on the season, and the frosh-soph had a 15 and 2 record. It looks like the veteran coach will again build a dynasty at McHenry in golf. It seems as if he never runs out of talent, and if Mike Lawler can stand my pipe, he will be a super golfer. Several week&ago I chastised the Cary Grove Athletic Department for their conduct after the Warrior game, when players refused to shake hands with the winning Warriors. Greg Johnson West High School principal received a letter of apology from Gary Steinbach Head Coach of the Trojans on the conduct of his assistant coaches and players. In talking with Mr. Johnson and Coach Joe Schlender about this matter, I would like to say that I think that the apology was sincere, that it was simply a case of frustration on die part of the Trojans, and the very likeable, personable Coach Steinbach should be complimented on taking action on this matter. Gary was not at fault , and when he found out the circumstances, did the wily thing a gentleman of his caliber would do in such a case. Oh yes the crystal ball again. Those Warriors are making me look bad, but I still have confidence in them. I pick them to beat the Gators Friday night. (Warriors this time dont' let me down I get a lot of flack picking you). Dundee and Cary Grove in a toss up, I'll pick Dundee in a dose one. Central over Crown Vikings. I hope Bill Mack takes it easy on the winless Vikings. In what is billed as one of the games of the year, I'll pick the Blue Streaks over Jacobs. The Streaks have too many horses. Be net over Marian Central, the Redwings are the class of the West Suburban Catholic Conference. «v •J "1 1 & v! j 1 S ft | £ 8 ' S 4: i •M £ % : i; Ttoe Sky hawks surprised me with a homecoming win « last week.
