I»7» feaft V SPORTS Ludwig's Warriors Prepare For Opener At Sycamore Tournament By Dick Rabbilt Coach Ken Ludwig is preparing/ .his 1979-80 Warriors for the opening game in the Sycamore Holiday tourney next week. The Warriors meet Marengo of the Shark Conference on Friday, Nov. 23rdat 7 p.m. It was just four years ago when the . unsung, , unrated Warriors were defeated by West Aurora in this tour­ ney, that enabled them to complete the finest year in the history of McHenry basketball, reaching the ' "Sweet 16" and losing their final game to the same Blackhawks of West Aurora. Will history repeat itself? The veteran coach of the Warriors has 7 returning lettermen this season, 4 of whom at one time or another started last season. Returning starters are Len Jensen the point guard, Bob Zeller a wing in the Warrior coach's offense, Jim Johnson a 6'5" center, Barry Anderson senior wing, Bob Bitterman another point guard, Tony Sroka a wing, and junior Rich Glosson another center, who picked up valuable experience last season. The coach feels that this season the Warriors have some depth, with juniors Bob Greve a guard, Bob Bryniarski a wing, and Chris Freund a guard who has looked good in the early season practices thus far. Coach Ludwig pointed out that the team has better than average quickness, and hopes to use this to advantage with his press and fast break, a trademark of recent Warrior teams. The team has worked very hard in pre-season practice. They have a lot of confidence and a super attitude ac­ cording to the coach. In talking with Coach Ludwig he points out some flaws in his team, lack of size will again be a handicap of the Warriors in the Fox Valley. Jim Johnson at 6'5" is the only big man, along with Bob Zeller at 6'2'V and Rich Glosson at 6'3" who are capable rebounders. The coach says, "We will have to work hard at getting position for rebounds this year." Coach Ludwig went on 19 say, "Although we have some fine individual talent on the team, we must im­ prove on the team concept, and emphasize playing together and making sure each player understands his role." The Warriors are not deep in key positions, and must keep away from injuries this season. < In summing up the season's outlook, the genial coach said, "The conference seems to be more balanced than last year", and added "Crown, Dundee and Crystal Lake South will be especially tough this season, but the rest of the teams will be challenging as the se&son progresses." After having watched Coach Ludwig's team petform in the past, we can assure you that the Warriors will be in the thick of the conference race, and barring injuries and illness, it could be a most interesting - season for Warrior, fans. /Mcllenry , High School Varsity Basketball Roster Seniors Barry Anderson, forward * 6'2" 175 Bob Bitterman, Guard * 5'9" 135 Len Jensen, guard * 5'10" 155 Jim Johnson, center * 6'5" 180 Tony Sroka, guard * 5'9" 165 Juniors Joe Bauml, guard Bill Boeka, center Bob Bryniarski, forward John Costigan, guard Gary Dowell, center Chris Freund forward Rich Glossen, center * Bob Greve guard Bob Zeller, forward * Mark Shiller, center 5'7" 135 6*2" 165 6'0" 150 5'11" 155 6'1" 180 6'1" 155 6'3" 175 5'10" 155 6'2" 195 6'3" 210 * Returning lettermen BOXING » • * HOMEOWNERS NEED CONCRETE?

C. - John Tate fought a very smart fight against Genie Coetzee at Pretoria. The hard-hitting South African tried to get Tate to slug it out early--tried to provoke him. Tate was too clever to bite. It turned out that Coetzee couldn't get through the American's defense. Tate is too big for most of today's heavyweights. And that was the story of the fight. Had Tate slugged it out in the first rounds, before he took some of the steam out of the South African's right, he might have lost. One suspects Tate will win over Larry Holmes, and settle the split personality heavyweight title issue. He's a desefving athlete, a good- mannered Southerner with dignity and sensitivity. How nice after so many loud­ mouthed braggarts! With twenty or thirty more fights, or maybe even a dozen with a top trainer, Coetzee might become the champion. He didn't have the skill and talent to get to Tate, who was by far the better boxer. Possibly, but not surely, he could learn it. only sftur note from the Pretoria fight was the injec- McHenry Police Officers Association Junior Bowling League , Team Standings w I pins 1.

Empha­ sis should have been put on the fact that this was South Africa's first integrated audience. Instead, CBS carried a long program before the bell on South Africa's racial poli­ cies, various people's opin­ ion whether Tate should have fought there, etc. That has no place in sports. Tate made S400,000--his biggest haul to date-and was treated well. In sports coverage, the American fan doesn't need New York types at CBS in New York telling him what he should think-about coun­ tries, politics, etc. That isn't sports. Pete Helios tells us the Illinois Department of Conservation will be con­ ducting an- 8-hour hunting instruction course Nov. 27th and 29th at the Spring Grove Elementary School for youths between the ages of 9 and 16 years. The time: 6 to 10P.M. each night. Parents invited. Since this will be the last course in the county, young persons who want to obtain a hunting license are urged to attend. If any questions, phone 675-2342. Anticipating another hard winter, Joe Dehn has pur­ chased a sled dog instead of a snowmobile. (It will take more than one dog to lug him around). When asked the question, "What kind of a basketball team will we have this year?, I could only say I hadn't observed a 7-foot center around the school. The man on the scene, Dick Rabbitt, has promised a preview of the Warrior team for this issue. You can bet that Coach Ludwig and the entire coaching staff will be working hard to put a win­ ning team together. Thought my billfold was getting mighty thick and knew it wasn't the green stuff. Found such things as a 1977 pocket calendar. Wonder what women find when they clean out their purses? They (the purses) seem to bulge. Now that the Chicago Bears are winning, the big§ time sports writers want to fire the general manager and the coach. • ! Wouldn't it be awful if coaches could fire sports writers! SUDDEN THOUGHT: when a young lad started 10 grow a little fuzz on his face and had his first shave, older men used to say he rubbed cream, on his face and let the cat lick it off. Arnold Rauen has claimed for some time that the windmill in our back forty is crooked Hope he gets around to fixing it before deep frost hits us. We see Dorothy Weber walk past our home early each morning, all the way from Main St. to St. Patrick s church (Where she has been an organist for many years. As George Gobel would say, "You don't hardly find those kind no more." A train rider compared the service between McHenry and Richmond to this story: There are still parts of Ireland where the train service is not so good. A tourist howled about the slowness of the train. "Why", asked the harassed conductor, "don't you get off and walk?" "Because I'm not in that big of a hurry". Getting accustomed to new change to old time on the clocks is a bit confusing. Darkness falls loo early. Some like it. Some don't. Looking over old baseball records, it seemed a good idea to look up one of the Walsh boys. Ed (Big Moose) Walsh pitched 66 games for the White Sox in 1908, winning 40 and losing 15. He struck out 269 batters and walked only 56 that season. The Big Moose was drafted for the huge sum of $750 and hit a peak salary of $3,500. As a bonus that record salary was doubled. What a free agent he would be today!

Once the automobile wa virtually alone on the road*,; but today other highway users, such as motorcyclists, are there in ever-increasing numbers, requiring all to share the road safely. More than five million motorcycles are registered, compared to less than one million 15 years ago. T o h e l p p r e v e n t multi-vehicle accidents, which are the car drivers fault 70 percent of the time, motorists can take the fol­ lowing precautions sug­ gested by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation: 1. Be prepared at inter­ sections to yield the right of way to oncoming motor­ cycles. 2. When being overtaken by a cycle, maintain lane position and speed, allowing the cyclist to complete the pass and assume his propter lane position as quickly as possible. 3. When passing a motor­ cycle, allow a full lane to the motorcycle rather than crowding in the same lane. Also avoid premature re­ turns to .the original lane since a cyclist is extremely vulnerable when an auto forces him to the right or off the road. 4. Proper use of signals is a must. Both motorists and motorcyclists can prevent critical situations from de­ veloping by communicating HI ..

In developing proper search patterns in traffic, the motorist should always be on the lookout for the unexpected and expect motorcycles to appear in traffic at any time. These few tips can tip the scales in favor of safety, and perhaps save a life. Floyd 5.

Bay Rd., McHenry 385-9854 The Wind From The North Is Strong and Proud, And He Pounds On My Door In A Fashion loud-- -Anne Lowier November, ninth month of the old Roman calendar, is the birthday month of five U.S. Presidents and the month in which President John Kennedy was assassinated (the 22nd in 1963). It's also the month in which the Allies invaded North Africa (the 7th, 1942) in World War II and in which World War I ended in 1918 (November 11). The 2nd is the birthday anniversary of both James Polk, 11th President, and Warren Harding, 29th President. Harding, a relatively recent President, was born in Morrow County, Ohio, in 1865, ,the oldest of eight children. He was first a newspaper man, buying a Marion, Ohio, weekly for $300. At his death it was a daily and a valuable property. He served in the state legislature and as Lieutenant Governor and was then defeated in a gubernatorial race. He nominated William Taft at the Republican convention in 1912 and two years later was elected to the U.S. Senate. In 1920, he was nominated by the Republicans and elected President. However, he failed to survive his term, dying after a trip to Alaska, which he had promised to make in his campaign, in 1923. On the 6th, in 1789, the Pope appointed the first American Catholic bishop, John Carroll of Maryland. At that time there were no Catholic schools in the United States and Carroll was educated in France and consecrated bishop in England. ; / On the 15th, in 1777, a committee of the Continental Congress, which had adopted the Declaration of Inde­ pendence, reported out the draft of the Articles of. Confederation--the first Constitution of the new nation; it provided for a perpetual union. This draft was changed, in 1787, and there was controversy until the Civil War whether or not States were in a perpetual union under terms the 1787 Constitution.
