Let's hope they can come through with hitting to match. Way back in 1920 the Sox had four 20-game winners and would end up in second place. Baseball fans wait all winter for glowing reports from training camps. Many rookies get only a fleeting glance from the coaches before they get a return ticket to the bushes. Some rookies have great statistics for the training season, then get a shock by being cut from the roster. Pity the rookie who is labeled as another Stan Musial, Mickey Mantle or Stanley Koufax. The pressure is on them. It is a healthy situation when some rookies make the team and realize their dream of a ride north. Sometimes we get to wondering why our foreign relations get so far out of hand. Maybe we have showered too much aid on our so-called friends. Many years ago a close friend analyzed .the aid situation when he said, "If you have a lot of money and I am poor -- and you give me money or food each day, I will develop a, hatred for you". Maybe it is envy that enters the mind. People in this country are almost unanimous in the thought that we shouldn't allow the hungry to starve. That goes for the needy in our country as well as those . in foreign countries. It is also agreed that the food we waste in this country could feed many of those with hunger pangs. As a grade school kid, I was puzzled when some schoolmates would ask me to save the core when I ate an apple at recess time. What puzzled was the realization that all farmers had orchards with apples rotting on the ground^ Watching our high school girls play basketball last week brought back memories of earlier days when the uniforms were quite different and not as sensible. The girls wore middies with big bows across the front, skirts and long black stockings. Their arms were bare to the elbows! A ONE HAND ATTEMPT^Big Jim Osbome of the Bears, second from left, tries for a basl -i during the third period of the game at West campus Saturday night. Osborne only connected for a pair of baskets, but he had a ball in the game against McHenry faculty. Number seven is Bob Avellini who hit for 29 points, and number 70, Dennis Lick collected 17 points in the Bears 79-57 victory. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD -- 5 Warriors Beat Cards In Overtime Battle 63-60 Athlete's Away is* By Dick Rabbitt j For the second season the Mi Warriors and the^B&idee Cardunals went into over­ time in a basketball game. This time the Warriors were the victors by the score of 63 to 60. It puts the Warriors right back in the FVC race with a 8 and 3 record, one game behind the lead leading Cards. Both teams started slow, and then the tempo picked up and the Cards led 13 to 12 at the end of the period. In the second period Tony Sroka and Barry Anderson kept the Warrior attack going and both teams walked off at the intermission all tied at 26. Midway in the third period Bob Zeller and Len Jensen took over and the Warriors jumped out to 47 to 42 third period margin. The final period was a slam bang affair, but the Cards rallied CALL THE WEATHER and tied it up with seconds remaining to send the game into overtime. In the overtime it was all Warriors. On a beautiful executed length of the floor pass from Len Jensen to Bob Zeller, the leaping junior took the ball and put it in the hoop to give the Warriors the lead. Anderson then made two charity tosses to give the Warriors a 4 pt. margin. Everett of the Cards then returned the favor with two free throws, and the scoring ended with Barry Anderson making a charity toss with three seconds remaining to give the Warriors a well deserved win. Coach Ludwig commented after the game. "We didn't play as well as we have in the past several weeks." however, he added, "We are glad to get out of Dundee with a win."

FRONT ST McHENRY On The Sidelines By Dick Robbitt The McHenry High Warriors won a couple of must •£ games this past week. On Friday they soundly trounced 8 Gary Collin's Crystal Lake crew 77 to 57. The second half !;!; saw the Warriors at their best. They shut out the Gators I;!; offensive attack with a fine display of defense. The Gators !£ managed only 9 pts. in the second half against Ken i;i; Ludwig's regulars in 14 minutes of playing time. In the iji; meantime the quick handed Warriors stole the ball, and :§ caused numerous turnovers, scoring at ease. Tuesday j£ night they won another big one, by defeating Dundee in I;!; overtime 63 to 60. With South knocking off Crown on i;ij Tuesday, and Crown going for revenge against the Cards i;i; tonight, the Warriors have a chance if they beat iji; Woodstock to find themselves in first place in the Fox i;i; Valley. Dundee is now 9 and 2, while the Warriors and jij; South are at8 and 3. It will go right down to the final game j£ of the season. Regional pairings have been sent out by the I.H.S.A., j& Belvidere will open up against Hononegah, and the :•!; Warriors will pair off against the Streaks. More about this jiji next week.
