-'Vif l>AGR I-PUINDBALXa-PKIDAY.NOVEMBI» J. 1»71 EARL WALSH" So I Hear SPORTS EDITOR. TV commercials will get to you if you don't keep your guard up. Take for instance a barker who urges, "Hurry! This offer win end soon." That spiel has been the same Cor a year. When is soon? How high is up? So the New York Yankees have bounced Billy Martin again. Boxing Billy can't seem to resist popping somebody on the chin every so often. , Tis said Billy started his athletic career in the ring and was handy with his dukes. But, those days are over. He should keep his hands in his pocket* _ With so many people in protest parades and sit-ins, one wonders who is working. Make a person keep won­ dering who's tending the store. It is Trick or Treat time again. Kids have been planning their costumes for a long time. In my memory, it was just Trick. The tre^t was in not getting caught. Police cars, communication and adequate manpower have Ctatailed the activities of big boys. Of course, everybody who up in the days before r plumbing remembers t the little house in the back ard was always in danger of ing tipped over on loween. p Hal • Schoolhouse entrances were Mocked with piled high wagons, ies or whatever could be tricks, but not the destruction of property. You might find a For Sale sign in front of your house the next morning. Another tran­ splanted sign of memory reads something like this: "Buy Your Valvoline Oil Here ". Ornamental fences were, common in residential areas and the man of the house sometimes unhooked the gate and stored it -- lest he find it on top of some roof. There was an era when a few thoughtless punks thought Halloween was a time to destroy property. They spoiled it for the just plain fun - seekers. Before the advent of Treats, little kids didn't carry Ing sacks with them. They carried funny faced pumpkins to scare people. It can only happen in this country. Comedians with higher salaries and shorter hours can make smart jokes about the President of The United States. Look, ma -- no clubs! The story goes that a golfer threw his ball around a 6,000 yard course in 82. OLD SAYINGS: Empty wagons make .Jhe most noise. The better the day -- the better the deed. Do unto others -- , Sometimes truth is more bitter than a d-- lie. When a woman complained about her husband and wanted to trade him off for a new one, Grandma advised, "Better the divil you know that the divil you don't know."

It will be senior night, when the seniors will be honored in pre-fcame festivities, along with the cheerleaders, and pom-pon squad. The Vikings under new coach Bob Carlson are winless in the Fox Valley this season. The former Blue Streak player and Warren coach has a tough row to hoe this season. The Vikes have been shut out in four of the six conference games this season, and are coming off a 35 to 0 loss last week at the hands of Crystal Lake Central Tigers. In the past the Vikings have always given the Warriors a battle and tonight should be no exception. Tom Ledford is the Vike the Warriors have to watch. The senior halfback can break a game open at any time, although he has had his problems this season. Fullback Ray Boehm and tailback Chris Zinselmeier are good blockers, along with able receiving ability. The Viking line is comparable to the Warrior line, with no big 250 pounder to worry about in the front four. The Warriors after a disappointing loss to Crystal Lake South last week in overtime, should be ready for another good game. The Warrior running attack last week was futile indeed. 35 yds. on the ground won't win you many games. As mentioned in Wednesday's edition, the Warriors must get some pride if they are going to win. With senior night , on tap, the Warriors may win number two for the season. » Clean your carpet faster arid better with Steamexl 6 power jets get dirt the other methods don't reach! pl=sh FUNNYSIOE Any lost words before I give you your tape?" « Along with former Warrior coach Bill Day took in the Jacobs vs. Woodstock game last Saturday at Jacobs. The Golden Eagles really stuck it to the Blue Streaks in every phase of football. By winning the game the Jacobs Golden Eagles assured themselves a playoff berth in the I.H.S.A. Class 4-A. The Eagles 6 and 0 in the Fox Valley have defeated their closest rivals the Tigers of Crystal Lake and the Blue Streaks. The game at Cary Grove this Saturday is a aftermath of the season. i If the parings go according to past season, the Eagles will host on Wednesday afternoon either Antioch or Warren. Antioch must dkeat Grant tonight to make the playoffs. If Antioch loses, and Warren defeats Grayslake, then the Warren Blue Devils will be the Northwest Conference representative in the playoffs. In the current state rankings Jacobs ranks 4th and the Crystal Lake Tiger 8th. The Tigers still have an outside chance to gain an At Large Berth, but Ridgewood an Independent has the inside track, and if they defeat West Leyden tomorrow will gain the playoffs. Because of the lack of an independent gaining a berth in Class 5-A, there is talk around the state that next year the LH.S.A. will add another class making six classes in all in the state playoffs. > • 1; Tonight is Senior Night at McCracken Field. The senii members of Joe Schlender's Warriors will be in in pre-game activities. Cheerleaders and pom-pon members will also be introduced. It would be a tribute if a large crowd was on hand to honor students for four years of service to M.C.H.S. Sue Hutchinson gained another honor last weekend. She is the first McHenry tennis player to win two matches in the State Finals. Sue has had a brilliant career, and we Cepulis qualified for the Sectional in cross country last weekend. The young lad finished 23rd overaH,' biit finished 5th in the individual competition to qualify. We wish 1dm well tomorrow in the Sectional. Mike Shanahan's girls swimming team few in numbers, but big in heart, maybe are not winning a lot of meets, but the girls are setting school records almost every time they swim. In the near future we shall give a list of the records broken, and by whom, for the season. The crystal ball has a lot of cracks in it this season. This week being the final week of the season, I'll pick with my head instead of my heart. After last week's play, I am going to pick Crown to defeat the Warriors for the first time in history. I gotta be shown that the Warriors can win one. Central to defeat South in a close game. The Gators will be fired up for the cross town game at Metcalf Field. Woodstock to rebound and humble die Dundee Cards. If Jacobs doesn't have a big letdown, they should easily dispose of Cary Grove. The Eagles were a super team last week against Woodstock. Marian to defeat St. Francis, and South Beloit in last place to defeat the Skyhawks. Here is hoping Coach Mike's squad can prove me wrong.
