This has to be a feather in the cap of Coach Don Seaton and his able assistant Pam Shaffer. It has been a long hard struggle for the girls' track team the past several years, but with a lot of hard work, and a little extra effort, the benefits came about on Saturday afternoon at Jacobs high school in the district meet. The Warriors finished sixth, as Dundee won the meet with 36 pts. Carrie Mortell who has been laid up all week with injuries, really poured the burners to the other runners as she won the 800 meter run in the time of 2:14. The 800 medley relay team of Terry D'Angelo, Sue Voska, Terri Blume and Carrie Mortell qualified for the state with a second place. Th 800 meter relay team also qualified with D'Angelo, Voska, Blume and Sue Szramek. In the final event of the day the 1600 meter relay, it was a dog fight to the wire, but Carrie Mortell, anchoring the Warrior crew, put forth a little extra and nipped the Woodstock runner at l*the string for another win and qualification. Along with Carrie were her sister, Debbie, and Terri Blume and Christy Howard. It was a great afternoon for the Warriors, seven going to Eastern Illinois university for the state finals is a remarkable achievement, and the entire squad and coaches have to be congratulated for a job well done. • Sabatka And Pintozzi Tennis Doubles Champs Tim Sabatka and Butch Pintozzi pulled off the upset of the Fox Valley tennis meet as they defeated Crystal Lake South's un­ defeated doubles team in the championship match Saturday at Dundee.

Unless the history books are wrong, the likes o' the McLeans, Wrays, Wheelers, Thompson?, Turners, McOmbers, Ladds, Hanlys, Colbys, Gages and others were the first settlers in McHenry. If they were Germans, I'm a Scotchman. One might as well claim that Johnsburg was settled by the Irish. In answer to the question, "What was the greatest shock of your life?", I didn't hesitate to say it was one lime when I came out of anesthetic after surgery. I looked up and saw a brawny, hairy armed male nurse bending over me. That put me right back to sleep. A cartoon from Elvera Justen gave us a chuckle. It showed a couple standing in front of the altar as the clergyman read from his open book, "Do you promise to love, honor and cheer for the Cubs?" That sounds like something Elvera's brother, Ed Blake, wrote into the ceremony when his daughters awaited "I Do" from unsuspecting grooms. The stamp on the envelope from Elvera carried the message "Letters Lift Spirits". How true - especially those kind of letters. When I was a young feller, if a kid was referred to as "Bold as a pet pig", he was a real little devil. After 16 years as a waitress at Bimbo's, Irene Betke has decided to retire. Not many stay in the same place of employment that long. We join her friends in wishing Irene a happy retirement. Must remind you again that "Thank You" notes in sports reports is a No-No. It's against the rules. Those notes have to go to the classified ad depart­ ment. Another problem we have in editing copy is that too v often a story is marked news when it is ac.tually ad­ vertising. And we can't print the cost of admission or other fees. George "Junior" Freund, an expert on the Cubs and „ their greatness, crossed over the line to predict the Milwaukee Brewers will win it all in the American Leaigue. Those Brewers are the only team to win a series from the White Sox this season. They must be good! Time was too short as Lyle Turner joined us to disucss Model 4,T" days. Lyle recalled driving from their home in Elgin into Door County, Wis. No surfaced roads in those days. You swallowed the dust. Another thing. No driver in his right mind would start on a trip without' his tire patching equipment. Lyle was also telling about the new fangled way of picking cherries in that Door County country. They have a machine to do the work. It was John Looze on the phone telling me I am really getting old. He had just read my comments on Lou Kapling and thought I didn't catch on. He probably doesn't know that Kapling was a first cousin of Moe Berg. Well, I look a very ex­ tensive poll and found only one person who didn't recognize that my reply was part of a wierd sense of humor attempting to fake somebody out. They all caught on.

MCHS Track Team Fifth In Conference Meet By Dick Rabbitt As expected the Wood­ stock Blue Streaks the pre- meet favorite held off the performances of Crystal Lake South to win the Fox Valley meet held Friday at Jacobs. The Warriors finished 5th, a big disap­ pointment to Coach Dan Boland, who had earlier figured the Warriors would be in contention for the title. However, the Warriors 400 and 800 meter relay teams won as expected, and Aric Akins burned the field in the 220 in the time of 22.5. a new meet record and one of the better times in this area this year;, The 400 meter relay team of R. Schaefer, K. Schaefer, Akins and Rit- thaler broke the conference record by a full second in the time of 44.2. The 800 meter team of Schaefer, Schaefer, D'Angelo and Akins broke another record with a time of 1:32.8. Other Warrior scorers were Ritthaler 3rd in the 400 meter run, and second in the 100. Ron Schaefer the favorite was guilty of a false start and disqualified, a big blow to the Warrior chances at that time. The 3200 meter relay team finished 5th. Ray Bourey finished 6th in the 3200 meter run. Akins picked up a 5th in the Shot Ptit and Mark Schiller a 6th in the discus. Dave D'Angelo had a 5th in the 220. Team Scoring Woodstock 113 Crystal Lake S. 101 Crystal Lake C. 99 Tacobs 77 McHenry 60 Crown 40 Cary Grove 35 Dundee 33 Skyhawk Girls Drop Two Softball Games BASEBALL By Pete Fritchie WASHINGTON, D C - Who says managers make very little difference in Major League baseball-that it's the talent of the players which counts? Of course, that's part of it. But managers obviously make a huge difference. Look at the way Oakland is playing-with limited talent! It has to be Billy Martin, who has been a winner (and a problem) everywhere he has managed.. And look at Minnesota, with little money and losing top stars every year in the free agent draft. Last year the Twins were a contender almost to the end. It has to be GeneMauch, to a great ̂ degree, that put them there. Think what Mauch could have done with a team more loaded witl) talent. Cincinnati apparently has a great new manager. to replace Sparky Anderson, the Reds looking very sharp. And Sparky hasn't gotten off very well at Detroit in his first full season: JNor was he helped with the pitcher the Bengals got for Ron LeFlore - Dan Schatzeder-didn't win. Obvisouly managers often make the critical difference among competitive teams. Attitude, psychology and spirit being so much of baseball, that's inevitable. Courthouse Squares The Johnsburg Skyhawk girls softball team dropped its record to four wins and eight losses as Marengo and Crystal Lake South both earned victories last week.
