STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Marian Loses To Harvard A 65-yard touchdown run by John Hertrich was all the Marian Hurricanes could muster in a 20-6 beating at the hands of Harvard Friday night in Harvard. Harvard scored on two, one-yard ruttwtd ^4-yard pass in accumulatff|ft^l|^ir 20 points and Coach Miskewicz said his team gave Harvard the game by committing too many mistakes. "We gave them too many opportunities by fumbling once and getting intercepted four times." Tim Sherwood was two for 11 passing for only 29 yards while T. J. Bauman ran the ball 13 times for 67 yards.

See you next Spring. Marilyn Ehlen Plaindealer Coach Joe Schlender's McHenry High Warriors achieved one of their goals last Friday night when they defeated the Stevenson Patriots 7 to 0 in the opener. Before a large crowd the Warriors again put up a tough defense, and held off Stevenson's drive late in the game to wrap up the victory. The Warriors took the opening kickoff back to their own 35, and on the fist play from scrimmage Keith Belzer, Warrior quarterback fumbled and the Pats recovered on the 90. Then the defense was called to the test After a Pat first down on the 20, the Warriors took over four plays later on their own 16. Rob Kalck on two carries made a first down on the 26. A pass interference on the part of a Pat defender gave the Warriors the ball on the 41. Tim Klapperich caught the first of his five cathces, and the Warriors were on the Pat 41. Then the Warriors bogged down and were forced to punt to the 20. The Pats began a march that brought them to the Warrior 38, but again the defense held and forced a punt to the Warrior 15 as the first period ended with no score. Starting on their own 15, Keith Belzer began to warm up his passing arm, when he completed two to Dave D'Angelo putting the ball on the Stevenson 41. Belzer to tight end, Kevin Lavin was good to the Pat 24. Kalck made a first down on the 12, and D'Angelo put the Warriors on the 9, and the home crowd was in an uproar. Then two penalties pttt the ball back on the 29, where the Pats took over and picked up two first downs, when again the Warriors held. The rest of the period saw both teams fail to gain much yardage, and at ha If time the game was still scoreless. In the third period the Warriors kicked to the Stevenson 32. Dave Boatright, Pat halfback then raced around end for 28 yds. to the Warrior 40. Again the Warrior defense took to the task, and forced the Pats to punt to the Warrior 17. Then the Warriors began a march that would take them into the endzone, 83 yards away. Belzer hit Klapperich for a 17 yd. pass to the Warrior 34. D'Angelo went off tackle for 7 to the 41. Then Rob Kalck broke loose to the Pat's 43. John Doessel got into the act when he picked up 9 yds. Another, pass, Belzer to Klapperich, was good to the 25. Belzer was shook up on the play and had to leave the game. Sean Haley entered the game as the new Warrior quarterback, and on the first play, hit Dave D'Angelo over the center, and the small Warrior halfback broke two tackles and scampered into the end zone for a Warrior score. It was Haley's only pass of the night, but one he will remember for a long long time. Haley then kicked the extra point and the Warriors led at 5:07 of the third period. The Warriors kicked to the Pat's 30, and on the ensuing ulav recovered a fumble. The fired up Warriors again went to theairways, but two incomplete passes, and failure to pick up the first down gave the Stevenson crew the ball on their own 25. The Pat's got a first down on the 37 as the period ended. In the period after an exchange of punts the Lake county crew began a march after intercepting aWarrkr pass on the Warrior 35. They marched to the Warrior 14, andthingg didn't look too bright for the local crew, but a good effort on ^wri of the Warrior defense held the Pat's, and the Warriors took over on the 16. Several plays later the Warriors punted to the 47, and after D'Angelo interecepted a pass, the Warriors ran out the clock and came off the field with their first win of the season. It was a happy Warrior team and coaching staff in the center of the field after the game. As Coach Schlender said, "It was a good win for our program, and it is always nice to win the opener." He had nothing but praise for his s<*iad. The passing of Belzer, the catching of D'Angelo, Klapperich and Lavin, the running of Doessel, Kalck and D'Angelo were all a big factor in the Warrior win. The defense, anchored by Dan Freund, Jack Jablonski, Jim Nielsen and Andy Saunders, along with the rest of the crew all deserve credit in the win. Grant is on tap for Friday night, after their 20 to 0 loss to the Blue Streaks. SCORING McHenry 0 0 7 0 7 - Stevenson 0 0 0 9 0 Touchdown: D'Angelo 25 yard pass from Haley.

Johnsburg drew first blood with 1:50 left in the first quarter. The drive started on the Skyhawk 24, when wide receiver Rob Schmitt caught a 10-yard pass over the middle from Scott Valentin resulting in a first down at the 34. Junior halfback Pat Rorig then took a Valentin handoff around the right side to the Winnebago 22, a 44-yard explosion. After two runs and an incomplete pass netted zero yardage, Valentin tossed to halfback Doug Wickman at the 12 yard line. Then, on a first- down play, Warren Moulis got into the act as he broke four tackles during a 12-yard scamper into the endzone. Johnsburg was called for interference on the extra- point try and a nine yard pass was incomplete. The score stayed at 6-0. The first quarter ended at 6-0, but Winnebago came back at the 7:21 and 4:19 marks of the second quarter to take the lead. First, Indian running back Jim G.ourley hammered through on a five-yard run and the two-point conversion was good as Leombruni took a pitch to the right side and got through untouched. Winnebago led 8-6. After the Skyhawks took over, Leombruni proceeded to intercept Valentin a{ the Skyhawk 47 yard line. Two plays later he ran the ball 39 yards for the Indians second PRE-SEASON INSULATION SALE Put your house in the Pink now and save.

Grant Hwy. 568-8077 Marengo, IL OPEN DAILY 8-5; SATURDAY 9-3 touchdown in four minutes. Although the extra point pass was incomplete, Winnebago now led 14-6. After Doug Wickman returned the ensuing kickoff to the Johnsburg 39, Rob Schmidt caught one of his four passes of the game on a long bomb to the 24 yard line of Winnebago. Two short runs later, Sch­ midt again caught a third down pass at the 14 and dove forward for the first down. With 1:25 left in the half, however, Greg Leombruni intercepted Scott Valentin at the goal line to cut off the Johnsburg threat. The half ended 14-6 in favor of Win­ nebago. ~ In the second half, the Indians had first possession and gave the hall up on four plays. Dan Williams took the resulting punt to the John­ sburg 49 giving them good field position. After a one- yard run on first down, Valentin again picked out Schmidt with a long lefty throw of 42 yards to the seven yard line. Two running plays up the gut put the ball on the one, when Valentin snuck through the middle at the 7:32 mark to put John­ sburg within reach, 14-12. The try for a two-point conversion was intercepted in the endzone. From this point on, the momentum swung to Johnsburg. Rob Schmidt's kickoff landed in the endzone which brought the ball to the 20. In the Indians' first two plays from scrimmage, defensive end Larry Dix blocked the first-down pass, while teammate Pat Schifferdecker sacked Winnebago quarter back Jim Crull for a six-yard loss on second down. The ball changed hands twice before Johnsburg recovered a fumble on the 18 yard line of Winnebago which was converted into a touchdown. Warren Moulis took the first handoff nine yards to the nine. Then Pat Rorig lost one yard before Valentin helped himself on a 10-yard bootleg to the right for a touchdown. Doug Wick­ man stood all alone in the left side of the endzone for two extra points and Johnsburg took the lead for the first time at the 1:38 slot of the third period, 20-14. The third period came to a , close without further damage by either team, but at 8:12 of the fourth quarter, the Skyhawks upped the margin to 26-14. After Winnebago took over on their own 11, the Indians went to the air on three straight plays. The first two passes were incomplete, but the third was picked off by Skyhawk defensive £pd Warren Moulis, who ran 20 yards for the score. The8 extra point kick by Schmidt was wide to the left and the score stood at 26-14. Winnebago wasn't through however, as David James ran 29 yards to the John­ sburg 15 on their next possession. Jim Crull later snuck through with a one- yard plunge with 4:48 remaining in the game. A bad snap on the extra point attempt kept the score at 26- 20. In the remaining minutes, both teams handled the ball twice which set the stage for a Winnebago threat with 12 seconds left. Deep in their own territory, Crull tossed a 33-yard bullet to Scott Falnes at midfield. Another long bomb was broken up at the 14 yard line and the game ended at 26-20. Coach Bob Schmitt collected his first win as a varsity coach and said he was proud of his offense. "With our new, revamped offense, we made very few mistakes in the way of holding or movement penalties," Schmitt said. "Our defense did get burned on the option play, however." He also spoke highly of end Rob Schmidt, a junior who caught four passes for 100 yards and kicked three punts for a 38.3 average. Quar­ terback Scott Valentin was 8 for 17 passing for 126 yards and three interceptions. He also gained 27 yards on the ground in 5 carries. Warren Moulis led the running attack for John­ sburg, gaining 57 yards in 9 carries, while Pat Rorig accumulated 53 yards in six tries. • Doug Wickman carried five times for 23 yards, Alex Bingman, 6 times for 26 yards and Pete Barroso, once for three yards. The Skyhawks gained a total of 310 yards with 16 first downs and recovered three of their four fumbles. The Skyhawks take on Grayslake next Saturday at home starting at 2pm. Joel Wakitsch Golfers Win Three Coach Chuck Cuda's Warrior golf squad won its first three matches of the season, defeating Grant, 155- 223, and beating Antioch and a tough Prospect team by identical 157-160 scores. Against Grant on Sept. 2,sophomore Mike Bauml led all scorers with a 37, followed by Steve Svec with a 38. Mike Lawler and Rick Barnicle each carded a 40. In the Antioch, Prospect victories of Sept. 4, Mike Bauml again led the Warriors with a 36, while Brad Adams had a 43 and Steve Svec had a 42. EARL WALSH" So I Hear DUFFY'S TAVERN 223 BENTON 5T. WOODSTOCK IS NOW UNDER New Management Owner WRYNE MEDDINCS Manager "RNDY" RNDERSON Took a spin out to Mur­ phy's Corner in beautiful downtown Volo, but picked a day when Tom and Nora were closed. Must try it again soon. It is a great place to pick up words of wisdom. The month of September may hold some joyous events, but paying real estate taxes and income tax installments are not of that nature. Alvina wanted to check on birth and death dates of some of her ancestors so up we go to the Johnsburg cemetery. While she was checking, I set about to find the marker of that lone Irishman buried up there. No luck. Am sure I saw it one time. One wisecracker said, "They must have moved that Irishman in during the night". Another bright one cracked, "They probably took the body out in the night, too". Was reading about filling silos and am confused. One theory is to let the silage settle by itself. My experience was that they put a young kid with big feet in the silo while the corn was being blown in, with instructions to keep walking and tramp it down. Sort of like putting a horse on a treadmill. It isn't often we eat break­ fast away from our kitchen table, but one recent mor­ ning it was our pleasure tc share a table with Mr. and Mrs. William Lewis of 2nd Ave. at The Little Chef. They know McHenry from way back. Blondy told us Mrs. Lewis is Eva An­ derson's niece. Friendly Eddie Zender was enjoying breakfast that same morning, bouncy as ever. Would you believe he is 82 years old -- or young? Another of my gra3e school teachers, Mrs. Bob (Fanny) Granger Thomp­ son, passed away last week. There goes our last source of information on the history of McHenry. Some go back a long way. Only apfew. But, Fanny Thompson went way, way back. She was imbued with old fashioned patriotism, never missing such events as Memorial Day services. It is never easy to lose a friend no matter at what age. Didn't Tom Burke, an Irish lad with a Polish bride, have a green golf cart last year? The Wayne Dixons read my note about the fellow who said. "Just call me Rip". Come In and See Us 'DR.

Life won't be complete until the day I hold the winning ticket on a new car. The lady in front of me was slow oh the trigger when the traffic light turned to green. So the man in back of me blasted his horn. I was the one who got the dirty look from the lady. It's a good thing that looks don't kill. Hadn't seen Herman Zwissler of Fairway Drive for several moons. He's looking hale and hearty as usual. Inquired for his better half and learned she is busy taking care of her elderly parents. Think Herman said her father is 92 years old. That's getting up there. An invitation for the Walshes to join the World War One vets at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Leub- scher in Hickory Grange was accepted without hesitation. The Leubscher home is directly across the river from Bally-O-Greg and it brought back memories of our early childhood. The Granger cottage was the only home in what was <"?own fs Granger's Woods. Frank and George Johnson are grandsons of the late Mrs. Granger. On a couple of occasions G r a n d m a G r a n g e r graciously turned over the cottage to my mother and family for a week's vacation. I used to ride my pony across the river to go to my grandmother's home on Barreville Road at a point called the cross-roads for supplies such as milk and Paul mentioned a ferry across the river. That meant driving horse and buggy or team and wagon carefully across a certain trail. Riding in a buggy with my Uncle Walter when the water was high, we had to put our feet up on the dashboard. Grandma Huck's home to the north was the only other building in the area. Visiting her meant getting some homemade cookies. The weather was grand as the crowd sat on the lawn for snacks and sips. Then the crowd adjourned to the spacious living room for cake and coffee. We didn't miss any part of it. Mrs. Pat (Reba) Owen was all over the place helping the hostess look out for everybody. Great girls. It is always nice to meet with those super-patriotic "Old Boys", all in their 80's. To say we had a good time is putting it mildly. ' FLASH -- Dick Rabbitt phoned to say he had word from Supt. Swartzloff that McCracken Field will have a new press box for the next home game Friday, Sept. 19. That makes my day. A year makes a difference. Climbing up to the coop for the game Friday night it seemed a few more rungs had been added to the ladder and the trap door harder to negotiate. Found out Dave Luckett has a strong right V' " arm. !' . , -- I Speaking of Dave -- While operating the clock find scoreboard, he sat between Dick Rabbitt's pipe and my cigar. , * We figured that would clear out his sinus. The Warriors gave away size to the Stevenson Patriots, but that is all they gave away in a rip-snortin' 7- 0 victory before a screaming, shouting crowd. Dick's report will cer­ tainly give you the thrills. It won't tell you how my heart was pumping. In a fine drive for pay dirt, our Warriors were keyed high, but geared cool in executing well-chosen plays. The Warriors will be facing odds as meet heavier teams. Let's hope the old gag about the size of the fight in the dog will prevail. Coach Schlender and his staff must be credited with trotting out a well-coached and well-conditioned group of athletes. The Warriors travel to Grant next week. They will be at home to face Crystal Lake South the following Friday, Sept. 19. The South team will be a real challenge since the experts say it will win it all this year. We shall see. The Lyle Turners are hikers and as they hike they search for butternuts. Had to tell them I wouldn't know if butternuts grow on trees, bushes or on the ground. Lyle was recalling days when he picked up walnuts and put them on a lean-to roof to dry. He went to school with beautifully stained hands that kept their color all winter.
