Wauconda Joh at Mari Johnsburg Graygla Joh On The Sidelines By Dick Rabbit * Well, the Good Lord was willing, so here we are again hoping for a very successful Warrior athletic year in all sports. A familiar face is going to be missing this year as our former sports editor, Carl Moesche, will not be with us this year. Carl has taken a job with a cable T.V. company in his home town of Milwaukee, and I know that all Warrior fans wish the young lad the very best in his new field. He made a lot of friends in his short stay in McHenry. Ernie Kivisto, the highly successful basketball coach at East Aurora, has left the state, and is now coaching in Arizona. Ken Swanson will have to find another coach to administer the Big "T" now that Ernie is gone. Walt Scott, former Warrior coach, has been appointed head track coach at Stephen Decatur high school. Walt had been coaching at Lakeview high school in Decatur, but when the school closed this spring, he was appointed to the big job at Stephen Decatur. It has to be a feather in the cap of the former Warrior, and we wish him well. Bob Doran, another former Warrior , is now on the coaching staff of Joe Schlender and the Warriors, If he can instill some of the old spirit he had in his days, the Warriors will be tough. : Cuda opened the golf season yesterday at home aga It looks as if the veteran coach is going to have another fine squad this year. Nine members of thesquad broke 40 the other night in practice, and that is pretty good shooting for high school. Hutch opens another season tomorrow at Maine West. The boys will have to be on their toes this year, as everyone is pointing to them. That is what happens when you have a successful season, as the cross country squad had last year. Third in the state was quite an honor. Next week the girls' tennis team travels to Belvidere on Tuesday, the volleyball team is at Wauconda on Wednesday, more golf and cross county meets, and then you can take your pick, there will be lots of activity for you fans to attend. If S.I.H. would put in a putting green in his backyard, he might see a lot more of his friends during the summer months. The McHenry Plaindealer 5ports Shooters Win At McHenry With a good attendance at the McHenry Sportsmen's club registered shoot last Sunday, Gene Wagner won the Hi-Overall trophy, scoring 232 out of a possible 250.

Although rain was predicted and the sun never quite got through the clouds Aug. 31, we were lucky again and not a drop of rain fell. Those little lightning bugs around the clubhouse reported these catastrophes. Gloria Bauer had a hard time repressing blasphemy when it took her five strokes to get out of the trap on number 7. Pat Bitterman con­ sidered giving the game up when she went out-of-bounds so many times on number 6, she needed help in figuring out her s^ore. Judy Dominik hit 10 trees. Her ball was going out 150 yards and coming back 85. Wanda Gerke overslept and didn't make it to the club until 9:30 -- too late to play and forfeited her match. Now, on the good side, Dee Price was happy when she paired holes 8 and 9 back-to-back. Nancy Thielsen was losing her match to Joan Clark when she found and picked a four-leaf clover on the 13th and won all her last holes. Theresa Schroeder had a beautiful chip-in on 18. Libby Johnson carded a pro score of 40 for the nine. Next week we will know which team is the season winner. We will have a later tee date and play "Monkey Golf," using only three clubs. We will wind up the season with our luncheon meeting. Esta Riding in the BAMMI (Bicycle Across The Magnificent Miles Of Illinois), Judy (Nowak) Moore of McHenry Shores compoleted the 475-mile bike trip for the Chicago Lung association. Using her daughter's bike, she was one of 215 who started the trip from Grant Park Sunday. Aug. 15, quit pedaling in Alton, IU., the following Saturday. Each day the bikers pedaled about 70 miles and camped out during the night. Judy began biking this summer and enjoys the sport. She is also a member of the McHenry County Bicycle club. The mother of three children, ages 16,17 and 18, is also a graduate of McHenry high school She believes some of the money from her pledges will be paid to tU» area. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Divot Dolls at MCC The two-week Senior Championship for the ladies of McHenry County club concluded with a tie for low gross. Virginia Turner shot 96-91 and Nell Filder shot 90-99, each posting 189. Nell took low net with 147. No mention was made of a play-off. Low gross over the field for the day was 89 shot by Judy Smithson in Class A. A low net of 73 in the same class was tied by Judy, Marlene Smith and Virginia Turner. And a tie for low putts of 28 in the same class was shared by Irene Kinnaman, Betty Phelan, Virginia Turner and Judy. Ties continued to be shot in Class B as Eunice Hatch and Dot Christiansun tied for low gross of 109, giving Dot low net of 78. The sole winner for low putts in B was Char Zwissler who rolled in 32. The heavy air and sunless sky apparently sharpened the edge of the gals' games as more ties took place. In Class C, Ursula Cisliek and Gloria Spiess both grossed 117(-'with Ursula taking low net of 76. Low putts of 33 were rolled in by Toots Gerstad, Linda Puccio and Fran Weyland. All alone in Class D, Dot Shadel low grossed with 116 to give her low net of 71, while Marcy Wakitsch and Rita Sayler tied for low putts of 31 each in the same class. Amateurs as they are, periodically the gals perform in quite professional manner, giving rise to the admiration of their golf-mates. Such was the case of Linda Puccio on No. 10. Partially imbedded in the bank of the creek, the ball presented a most difficult lie. Addressing itcalmly (and not soling the club) Linda executed the shot with skill that sent the sphere orbiting toward the top of the hill. The only unladylike result was the mud bath acquired by Linda. Fortunately, her companion, Gloria Otth provided her with a black towel. A number of chip-ins were recorded to ease the putting. Bet- syross Pehlan started the round with one on No. 1. Both Lotte Koch and Fran Brown dittoed on No. 3. On No. 7, Rita Sayler registered the only one there. Next, Linda Puccio and Joan. Schloskey chipped in on No. 12; Joanie's for a birdie. On No. 15, Irene Kinnaman birdied with a chip-in. Judy Smithson dittoed the action on No. 16 as Lynn Schmidt did oh No. 18. Other birdies were one picked up by Judy Smithson and Alvina Yopp on No. 15. All in all, the dull day seemed to sharpen many of the golf games. Next week an Exchange day will be held, followed by a Tennessee Dog Fight, then a Travel day and the wind- down of the season. To date, the season has been a good one with cooperation from the weatherman most days, a lot of good rounds posted, some nice wins for a number of the gals as well as a big win for the travelling team and much fine companionship which always leads to Happy Golfing! Liz Warrior Introduction Day Tomorrow afternoon the McHenry High Warrior Booster club will sponsor Warrior Introduction day. Football players and their coaches will be introduced at this time, and all three squads will have a controlled scrimmage. With the home opener next Friday night, this will give fans an opportunity to get a sneak preview of the coming season. The Frosh will take , the field at 12 p.m., followed by the Sophomores at 1, and at 2 p.m. Joe Schlender will trot out his varsity squad. There will be a small donation at the Ste to help the Booster club off to a st start tnis coming year. ^Mortell Returns To Race With EIU Panther Cross Country Team The Panther cross-country team of Eastern Illinois University is ex­ pected to do well this season, par­ ticularly since three upperclassmen harriers are returning from last fall's championship team. One of the stars from last fall, now a junior at Eastern, was former McHenry high school runner Carrie Mortell. The other two starters on this year's team are seniors Nancy Kramer, of Decatur, and Gina Sperry, of Lit­ chfield. "We have a strong schedule and look forward to the season opener," Craft said. "Gina Sperry, Nancy Kramer, Carrie Mortell and Margaret -• Smith are our solid runners." Craft said the Panthers expect in­ coming freshman, Annie Ogle, of Quincy, to fill in the foursome of "solid runners." The Eastern cross-country lineup will also include two sophomores, Heather Anderson, of Crete, and Dawn Hayes, of Calumet City. Other freshman runners on the roster in­ clude Cindy Hughes, of Hillsboro, Megan Irons, of Palatine, and Laurie Lomax, of Oakwood. The Panthers will face a tough schedule, going up against runners from Purdue, Southern Illinois- Carbondale and Indiana to name a few of the competitors. The season opener is an alumni run s c h e d u l e d f o r S a t u r d a y , S e p t . 4 . . Craft, the coach of the 10-woman squad, is beginning his fourth season as head coach.
