There must be some slightly used ones in that list. To avoid a heart attack by not shoveling snow. To eat less -- less often. To live in hopes of an All- Chicago World Series. To write to friends more often. To take a memory course. Faces I remember. Names escape me. To comb my hair more often. To listen to political speeches -- slice them down -- then vote against any candidate who .maliciously attacks the character of an opponent. To scratch off fny list all authors of books smearing deceased persons who ob­ viously cannot defend themselves. To take a little pity on Cub fans. Very little. To wear my boots if f it snows. Yes. Virginia -- To heed the words of one with .wisdom, "Self in­ crimination is not good thinking." To learn some new jokes. To get out of McHenry County one of these days. _ . To ask a few "Please be generous" organizations to take me off their mailing list. Some are from far off places. To try to find a way to lure a"couple of Teresa Conway's cardinals to our back forty. They pay us an occasional short visit, then depart. Might call them fair feather friends. To make shut-ins feel they are not shut-outs. To open a bottle of Irish Mist that has been on our medicine shelf for years. To find some fun and joy in every day --. and to remember that happiness comes in bringing happiness to others. To buy one of those snow shovels that do all the work.

It was not the same Warrior ballclub that easily defeated Schaumburg in their qfieping game 81 to 53. It was only a 23 point 4th • period rally that enabled the Warriors to pull out the win? Leading by a-slim one point going into the final eight minutes, the Warriors finally got untracked to pull out the victory and send them into the semi-finals on Friday night. The Warriors trailed from the outset, and only Jim Johnson's free throw at 3:15 of the opening period brought the Warriors to ^3 all tie. The Green Wave- fought back and took the lead 16 to 15 at the buzzer. Rick Glosson put" the Warriors ahead for the first time at ^30 of the second period 21 to 20, but the Wave again fought back to take the lead, until the closing minutes of the quarter when Bob Greve hit a free throw, Jim Johnson a basket, followed by Len Jensen, charity toss to give the Warriors a 31 to 28 bulge at the intermission, • The third period was a see­ saw affair, and only Bob Zeller's 4 baskets kept the Warriors in the game as they led 46 to 45. The final period" the > Warriors parked up a bit and bjlgan to play like the /Warriors of' okl. Glosson J ^started off with two charity ^ tosses,/followed by Jim Johnson^ two baskets, and then Leri Jensen hit two from the outside to make it 56 to 48, and Warrior fans began to breathe a little more easily in the stands. From then on it was just a "matter of waiting for the clock to tick down, as the Warrior defense tightened* up, and they came off the floor with a victory. , - Coach Ludwig was not at all happy with the pl$y of the Warriors. Their snooting was/off, their passing was off, and their all around play was off. It was a good game to get out of their system, :ause the competition gets a little tougher front now on. The Warriors had four players in double figures, led by Len Jensen with 18 points.

The last name was correct, but not the first name. How could I?. So. Lyle Turner's note read: "You had the right church but the wrong pew."' McHenry once had a resident named Earl Turner. Must have been thinking in the past or just not thinking. Marie's Twice Told Tales mentioned the now famous "K^gfs", but didn't elaborate. Have had to explain the event several, times. One group said they are comparatively ^new in 'McHenry, bjiKenjoy those old time itkms even when they don't know the names. It was this way. ' Mr. and Mrs. William Pries, Sr. were spending the winter in Florida, never thinking that anybody would disturb Mrs. Pries' collec­ tions of keys -- a box full. They shouldn't have put anvthing past their son, Billy. Billy and the late and devilish John Dreymiller (Green St. barber ), connived 4o ,tag those keys with my name and address, then scatter them around the school yards. That did it! The first one to phone me. Bv Randv Swikle The Johnsburg Skyhawks romped past Burlington Central 89-61 and then narrowly defeated Hamp- slj^re 40-37 in their first two games of the Northern Illinois Classic Tournament at Hampshire last week. At press time the Skyhawks were scheduled^ meet a powerful Rockfo] Jefferson squad last Frid The winner of that contest would advance; to -the championship game of the 16-team tournament the next day; the loser^ould play for third pla Johnsburg had little trouble against Burlington Central in their first game Wednesday night. Brett Zimbrick, the star Skyhawk guard, netted 14 points in the first quarter, missing only two of nine field goal at­ tempts. He finished the evening as high point man with 25 points. Tom Schoenig, John- sburg's leading scorer, also had a very successful night, netting 10 of 13' field goal attempts and finishing with a total of 24 points. The Skyhawks com­ manded a 47-28 point ad­ vantage at halftime, and they never let Burlington Central threaten their comfortable lead. Other leading scorers for Johnsburg were Frank Jakubecik with 14, _ Chuck _. Novy with 10, and Rick Neiss with 7. After a sparkling per­ formance in their first game of the tourney, the Skyhawks delivered a "less polished" performance against Hampshire. Johnsburg opened the -<• contest with a layup by Zimbrick and a corner jumpshot by senior forward Chris Dixon. The Skyhawks didn't score again until Tom 1 Schoenig pumped-in a free^ throw in the final seconds of the quarter. Trailing 5-10, the Skyhawks had made only two of 19 field goal attempts. Johnsburg's inability to scone from out allowed Hampshire's zone defense to keep tight reign on Tom :hoenig under the basket. The Skyhawks could not get the ball into him; and the senior center finished the evening with his lowest score of the season, 7 points on the strength of two field goals and three free throws. Zimbrick came alive in the second quarter with three buckets to keep his team in contention, but the Skyhawks still trailed 15-21 at half time. It wasn't until junfor reserye Chuck Novy scored with about a minute remaining in the third quarter that the Skyhawks were able to regain the lead since the first minutes of the game. The Novy bucket gave the Johnsburg club a 26-25 advantage, and the score see-sawed for the next several minutes. Hampshire stilt managed to control a 28-26 lead at the end of the third quarter. The score was tied at 37-37 with 1:14 remaining when Zimbrick utait to the foul line for a one and one. He sank the first shot and missed the second to give the Skyhawks a one point ad­ vantage. A traveling violation by H a m p s h i r e g a v e the Skyhawks the ball with :22 remaining in the game. With his team one point up, Zimbrick sank a 12 footer from the corner with 13 seconds left. Hampshire did not score, and the contest closed with a 40-37 John­ sburg victory. Speedy Warriors Tromp Schaumburg Five By Dick Rabbitt Unfortunate for the Schaumburg Saxons, Coach Ked Ludwig had ,a healthy crew at Elgin Wednesday afternoon. As a result the Warriors won easily 81 to 53. For the first time in weeks all Warriors were present was a dear ;lady, Mrs. Fred Cooley, With word that "Walter found your keys". She was speaking of her grandson Walter Richard- When I said I hadn't lost any keys, she added, "They have your name on }hem. Walter will bring them to your office after school." The keys were delivered and Walter received a nickel. ^ Holy smokers! Kids swarmed in with keys and I ran out of nickels. Then came keys in the mail. The master-minds had given them to bread truck drivers and others to toss around other towns. One batch was mailed from Gary. Indiana. All postage due! Now it is time to look through a seed catalog that just arrived in the mail. Spring can't be far away. and accounted for on Wednesday, and they did not let down their loyal followers, as they put up a tough zone defense, plus pressure defense on the hapless Sax&ns guards as they raced up and down the Elgin fieldhouse literally burning the' nets. Team play was the key to the easy win. The Warriors helped one another out on defense, and passed with authority while on offense. Too many times to mention, the Warriors stole the ball on the poor Saxon guards to go in unmolested for the score. It was la ball game for* three and one-half minutes, then Bob Greve hit a 15 footer to put the Warriors ahead 7 to 6, and from then on it was a Cakewalk. With Tony Sroka, Len Jensen, Jim Johnson, Bobby Zeller and Greve all scoring, the Warriors raced out to a 22 to 14 first period margin. In the second period Chris Freund, Barry Anderson, along with Rich Glosson along with the five already mentioned hitting the scoring column, the Warriors increased their lead to 43 to 26 at the in­ termission. The best was yet to come. At the six minute mark the Warriors led 47 to 32. Then in the next six minutes the Warriors ran off 24 unan­ swered points in an amazing display of basketball as everybody got into theVact to lead 73 to 32 at the endlof the period. With all the regulars safely tucked into their sweats, a merciful Ken Ludwig went to his bench once again, and the remainder of the squad 'all saw considerable action. Not scoring a lot of points, nevertheless the reserves gained valuable experience. It was a case of too much speed, defense and shooting. As one Saxon fan mentioned at the intermission, "Those McHenry kids are just too fast for our bays". That sums it up in a' nutshell.

C. -- The Major Leagues are cur­ rently engaged in very seri­ ous talks with the players' union, one major item being the free agent problem. Molt clubs don't bid for expensive stars who play out their op­ tions. But about eight do, and this threatens to cause per­ manent damage to less af­ fluent clubs, in the view of many. The union reply to this is that 1979's four divisional winners were, three to one, $anufrwhich didn't dip into the free agent market with lush multi-year contracts for free agents. But with the Yankees, Dodgers and others still spending lavishly, other owners, even some who play the free agent game, want some limitation on the free­ dom of rich clubs to buy up the best talent. They're convinced in the long run this will unbalance the leagues. As this is written, no agreement is in sight and owners" are being very quiet about negotiations. But un- $ derlying the talks is a somber spirit of ^determination. Owners are seeking to get back some of what they have given away, in fact. And mfcny are willing to call off spring training and even regular-season play if more order cannot be"H>rought into the free agent system. WHolitows? 1. Define usurious. 2. For what is Samuel F.B.
