Just reread a book called "The Dieter's Fun Book", the book is funny, but not the dieting in my book. After the 45-0 clobbering our Warriors handed Dundee last week, we are anxious to see if the momentum will carry through their contest with Crystal Lake Central this Friday night. Talk about a whingding! Those baseball play-off games were so thrill packed that the World Series may be like an anti-climax to the season. Pitchers kept the situation in hand to prevent any runaway games. This is the time of year when we used to look for hickory nut trees and a farmer who would let us pick up a sackful. Grandpa Joe McAndrews was a kind hearted soul who was willing to share at hickory nut time. Can remember my uncle, M. J. Walsh, loading a bunch of kids into the surrey and cracking the whip for old dobbin' to take off for the McAndrews farm. Have you ever tasted anything better than hickory nut cake? • Never saw so many bees as we have buzzing around uiis year. They are hungry little devils. Maybe a hard frost would take care of them. Roger Freund tells us our snow tires are good for another year. It won't be long now. Our radiator is set for 20 below weather. If it gets any colder, we will hibernate. The Chicago Bears are going to try a new quar­ terback. If that doesn't work, they had better back up the bus. On good authority, we learn Dave Kent has swit­ ched his allegiance to the American League. That's OK. But, if he has ideas of joining the White Sox Booster Club, he will be required to fill out a long application. Very long.

It was then discovered that he had a circulatory disease and last January, his right leg had to be am­ putated also. Numerous surgeries were performed to save the leg, but all were in vain. Due to complications, Hans cannot wear artificial legs and has been confined to a wheel chair. Some of his former friends in Chicago and McHenry dediced to start a fund for him so that Hans could get an electric cart to help him get around. "If anyone would like to contribute to this cause they can send their contribution to: The Hans Behnke Fund, 8304 N. Harding, Skokie, Illinois, 60076." McHenryites, who have visited Hans in Florida, tell me he comes up smiling after each about with surgery. To ease the terrific financial strain, friends decided to purchase an electric cart to enable Hans to zip around. Sounds like a great idea from the hearts of friends. WHifs your Sports /A. ?

Chapel Hill Rd. McHenry 385-0333 i----COUPON*-- The McHenry Warriors will host a long time foe tonight when they take on the Crystal Lake Tigers in a 8 p.m. kickoff Fox Valley game. The Tigers of Bill Mack are having a so-called let down year. They are presently 2-2 in the Fox Valley and 4-2 overall. This is quite unusual situation for the veteran coach of Tigertown. The mainstay of the Tiger offense is senior tailback Jon Simon, who can run with the best of any player in the conference. The inexperienced Tigers, only two lettermen returned, have lost only to Woodstock and Cary Grove, both of them defeated the Warriors. The Warriors fresh from their 45 to 0 romp over hapless Dundee, will be gunning for a win over the Tigers. With no injuries reported from Saturday's game, the Warriors should be raring to go against the Tigers. The running of Rob Kalck and Dave D'Angelo, should have the Tiger's working on defense this week. Keith Belter who It turning Into a pretty good high scN|M passer, can keep the Crystal Lake eleven honest, with key receiver Tim Klapperich a constant threat on the receiving end. The Warrior defense of Andy Saunders, Jack Jabtonski, Jeff McNIsh and Dan Freund in the front line, should give Simon some second thoughts about running up the middle. It won't be a cakewalk, but it should be a whale of a game. Kickoff 8 p.m. e i VISITORS What college team holds the record for most points scored in a football game?

Rogers did her usual thing with a 208 and M. Raasch came up with 181. Greasy fingers for the team pizza belong to SSST's and they had a nice total of pins to earn it. Wonder if they'll share?
